Chapter 350 Dream of Red Mansions - Jia Yingchun 21

The darling of the Jia family dropped his precious jade, which naturally made everyone in the Jia family present very worried. The second wife was the first one to rush to Jia Baoyu. She snatched the spiritual jade from Jia Lang's hands and glared at Lin Daiyu who was frightened by Jia Baoyu's sudden madness.

He turned around and hugged Jia Baoyu, who was shouting, "What a broken jade! No one else has it but I do!" "I don't want it anymore!" and hung the spiritual jade that he had snatched back from Jia Lang back around Jia Baoyu's neck.

As he hung it, he said, "You evil creature, you can't drop this jade. Put it back on and wear it now!"

Grandmother Jia believed that the jade that Jia Baoyu was wearing was obtained by the Second Madam from somewhere, and she did not take Jia Baoyu's behavior of breaking the jade as seriously as she did in his previous life. She looked at the Second Madam's nervous look coldly, and thought that the Second Madam was very good at pretending, so she was not worried.

Seeing Lin Daiyu's face pale with fear at Jia Baoyu's move, she suddenly felt dissatisfied with the second wife. It was Wang who was short-sighted and greedy. In order to make her child be valued in the mansion, she insisted on making up a story about being born with jade in her mouth, and almost sent the entire Rongguo Mansion away.

After observing for so many years, I found that Baoyu was just a little prettier and sweeter than ordinary people, and there was nothing special about him. On the contrary, because of this piece of jade, Baoyu asked everyone he met if they had jade. Once he found out that others did not have the jade and he was the only one who had it, he would throw it away.

Why bother?

Thinking of this, Grandmother Jia couldn't help but think of Jia Yuanchun, who was still working as a female historian in the palace. She sighed deeply and became more and more angry towards the Second Wife. She had persuaded Yuanchun to come back in the first place, but who would have thought that the Second Wife was so hypocritical and unwilling to do so.

What a good day to be born, the first day of the Lunar New Year, there will be great fortune. Seeing that Yuanchun has been in the palace for almost three years, she is already a twenty-year-old girl, and being an imperial concubine is still an elusive dream.

However, Jia Lang's progress was smooth. According to reports from Mother Li and others who went to Gusu with Jia Lang, Jia Lang was appreciated by Uncle Lin when he was in the Lin Mansion and was taught for a considerable amount of time.

Now, as Grandmother Jia watched Jia Lang comforting the frightened Lin Daiyu, she felt more and more that Jia Lang might really pass the imperial examination and become the prime minister when he grew up.

Jia Lang just comforted Lin Daiyu with a few words out of kindness, but he didn't expect that Grandmother Jia saw what he was thinking.

The farce was over soon, and Jia Lang accompanied Lin Daiyu to have dinner with Jia's mother. With a reference person by her side, Lin Daiyu felt much more generous than when she acted alone in her previous life.

After the meal, Jia Lang took Lin Daiyu to visit Jia She. After all, Jia She was his biological father. With Jia Lang's company, Jia She actually met the two of them. As for Jia Zheng, just like the plot, he was unable to meet them.

After sending Lin Daiyu to the capital, Jia Lang did not stay in Rongguo Mansion for long and prepared to return to Jinling the next day.

Before leaving, Lin Daiyu learned that Jia Lang was going back to Jinling, so she came to see him off and thanked him. This caused the servants in the Jia Mansion to misunderstand something, and after Jia Lang left, the story about Lin Daiyu and Jia Lang began to spread in Rongguo Mansion.

After returning to Jinling, Jia Lang soon devoted himself to studying again. Not long after, the Lin Mansion in Gusu sent someone to bring a box of books to Jia Lang. After Jia Lang opened the box and looked through it, he found that most of the books in the box were the books that Lin Ruhai had read for the imperial examination. There were not only the annotations written by Lin Ruhai at the time, but also a collection of articles from several previous imperial examinations, from students to juren and even jinshi.

The top student's study notes, test paper collection and model essays are really a very useful gift for Jia Lang, who has learned exam-oriented education in modern times.

It is difficult to ask Jia Lang to compose poetry, and it is not easy to write in classical Chinese. But if Jia Lang is asked to imitate, it is not difficult. It is much easier to start from imitation to understanding and writing his own articles than to learn to write from scratch without knowing anything.

After absorbing a trace of spiritual energy leaked from the spiritual jade, Jia Lang's mental power has grown a lot. Jia Lang's mental power is quite similar to the spiritual consciousness of the cultivators described in the books of immortal cultivation. A strong spiritual consciousness means a strong soul. By absorbing the spiritual energy in the spiritual jade, one can increase the strength of one's own soul. Naturally, Jia Lang will not let it go.

But now I am far away, so it is difficult to do it. I can only wait until I pass the imperial examination and go to Beijing to take the exam and live in Rongguo Mansion before doing it.

Time passed as Jia Lang studied hard. Three years passed in a blink of an eye. Jia Lang was twelve years old. After three years of study, Jia Lang's level had reached the level where he could take the examination for status as a student.

After being recommended by the teachers and others in Jinling, Jia Lang went to the county town with his classmates from the clan to take the examination for the status of a student.

Aunt Li was very frightened by this. She had never forgotten the fact that Jia Lang was originally a girl. She wanted to ask Jia Lang to give up, but seeing how much Jia Lang "liked" studying and was looking forward to the examination, Aunt Li could not bear to tell him the truth.

Yes, in Aunt Li's heart, Jia Lang never knew that he was not a man. Aunt Li taught Jia Lang to value privacy and not let others see his body since he was a child, but she never told Jia Lang that the reason she did this was because she was not a man.

Aunt Li kept delaying until the time came for Jia Lang to really take the examination for the position of a scholar.

He had no choice but to tell others about it now. The examination for the status of a student would require a body search and the removal of clothes for inspection. If he just let Jia Lang take the exam without saying anything, his identity would surely be discovered. That would be a serious crime, and he would have no way out.

So when Jia Lang returned home in the evening, Aunt Li sent all the servants away and waited in the main room.

"Erlang, come here, Auntie has something to tell you."

Aunt Li's voice was so soft that Jia Lang almost couldn't hear it.

"Auntie, what's the matter?"

Jia Lang himself knew that he was a woman disguised as a man, but Aunt Li didn't know that she knew it. As early as when the master recommended him, Jia Lang had already thought about how to get through the body search. Before the test, she planned to use her predictive skills to see if her method would succeed. If successful, she would do it according to the original plan. If not, she would find another way.

After more than ten years of practice, Jia Lang's predictive skills have long become a skill similar to a simulation system. Jia Lang can combine predictive and dream-making skills to simulate a certain day in the future, and modify the simulated process. After simulating again, he can get another future.

Unfortunately, the longest number of days for simulation is ten days, and now there are still fifteen days before the exam, so I can only wait five more days before simulating again.

While she was daydreaming, Aunt Li had already told the "truth". She did not mention the dream she had had, but took all the responsibility on herself.

"My aunt was afraid that she would not be valued if she gave birth to a girl, so she deliberately lied and said she gave birth to a boy."
