Chapter 45: Farmhouse Imperial Examination 11
The words planned by Jia Huan and the others soon reached the ears of Concubine Shu and her brother through Concubine Shu's nephew.
What the three people said was specious, but they were even more convincing to Concubine Shu and others.
If you explain it in too much detail, they will not be able to explain it and will still be suspicious.
Shi Zeyu paid attention to the actions of Concubine Shu's brother and his party, while Jia Huan went to take part in the palace examination.
To be honest, this was the first time in several lifetimes that he had entered the palace to see the emperor.
He was still a little nervous.
But he was no longer just Jia Huan of the Rongguo Mansion, and he no longer had any respect for the emperor in his heart.
Answering the questions went very smoothly. Jia Huan collected some of the answers when answering the questions. The writing was quite satisfactory and not too outstanding.
Finally, the results of the palace examination came out, and Jia Huan won the top seventeenth place.
Pu Chenghong, whom he helped, became the second-class legend!
After the parade, the newly minted scholars entered the palace again to attend the Qionglin Banquet.
Pu Chenghong walked to Jia Huan and raised his glass to thank Jia Huan.
Both of them did not like to socialize, so they just sat aside and chatted.
The top three are not from humble backgrounds, and have close or distant relationships with officials in the DPRK and China. Therefore, they have attracted much attention.
Neither Pu Chenghong nor Jia Huan would be jealous of the limelight of these three people. They both saw the undercurrent in the court.
Although Pu Chenghong did not know as much information as Jia Huan, he was smart. From the age of the old emperor and the activity of the princes, he deduced that it was already time to seize the throne.
If you participate rashly, it would be fine if you win, but if you choose the side you choose...
"Brother Jia, do you want to take the shujishi test?" Pu Chenghong asked.
Jia Huan nodded: "I will stay in the capital for the time being."
Pu Chenghong: "Great, we can do things together in the future."
Jia Huan smiled: "Not sure yet."
It's not like you can work together after entering the Hanlin Academy.
Jia Huan stayed in the capital to deal with the Yang family, but he never thought about actively working to express himself.
He would only fish in the Hanlin Academy.
Pu Chenghong is different. He comes from a poor family. If he wants to be promoted, he must work hard and express himself.
The two of them don't have time to play together.
Jia Huan saw two princes heading towards the top spot, two princes looking for the second place, and the remaining princes looking for the top spot. He couldn't help but feel tired for the three of them.
Fortunately, the three of them have families who protect them. If they were from a poor family, they would have been skinned and cramped by the princes.
Shortly after the Qionglin Banquet, Jia Huan took the Shujishi Examination, successfully passed the Shujishi Examination, and entered the Hanlin Academy to study.
He behaved like a bookworm who liked to read, and he did not express himself in the Hanlin Academy. He just flipped through the Hanlin Academy's collection of books all day long.
The people in the Hanlin Academy felt that he was not a threat, so they stopped caring about him.
Jia Huan inexplicably felt that his popularity in the Hanlin Academy was quite good.
On this side, Concubine Shu's brother has already taken action. They sent people to start collecting evidence of Yang Chengyun's collusion with the third and fourth princes, and evidence of his evil deeds.
This is not a job that can be completed in a short time, and Jia Huan is not in a hurry.
After getting off work from the Hanlin Academy every day, he would go to the place where the three religions and nine schools gathered, and while having dinner, he would gather information from those people.
Shi Zeyu has returned to his hometown. He can't wait to go back to see his wife and children. By the way, he brings the news that Jia Jingyi is not dead back to the Jia family.
According to Jia Huan's estimation, after hearing the news about Jia Jingyi, the elders in the family would definitely not be able to sit still and would come to the capital to see Jia Jingyi.
Shi Zeyu naturally wanted to escort them to the capital.
Then, the small courtyard where he lives now is not enough.
Coincidentally, the owners of the neighboring courtyard and the small courtyard where he lived were brothers. Jia Huan approached the two of them and bought both small courtyards directly.
He cut a hole in the wall connecting the two courtyards, so that the two courtyards merged into one.
Jia Jingyi occasionally came to stay in this courtyard for a day or two, and he took over the work of decorating the room.
He is looking forward to being reunited with his maternal grandparents and mother-in-law.
Chu Wenyao didn't often go to Zhuangzi to see him. It was common to go once every two or three months.
Therefore, Jia Jingyi is not worried that Chu Wenyao will find that he is not in Zhuangzi.
"Hey, when will the eldest prince and his gang be able to collect all the evidence against Yang Chengyun?" Jia Jingyi couldn't wait any longer. He really didn't want to bear the name of Chu Wenyao's concubine.
"It's almost, it's almost." Jia Huan said, "I'll ask someone to help secretly and send the clues to Concubine Shu's brother."
If it weren't for Jia Huan's secret help, those who wanted to find clues would have wasted a lot of time.
Yang Chengyun is an old fox, and it will not be easy to investigate him unless the emperor takes action.
"By the time my grandparents arrive in the capital, the eldest prince's faction should have taken action." Jia Huan estimated the time and said.
A prayer appeared on Jia Jingyi's face: "I don't know where my grandfather and the others are now."
After hearing from Shi Zeyu that Jia Jingyi had not died, Jia Dashi and Jia Chunying could not sit still and immediately went to the capital to see their grandson.
Although Jia Dacheng and Zhang were sad that there was no news about their eldest son and they did not know whether he would live or die, their younger son passed the Jinshi examination, which was enough to heal their grief over the death of their eldest son.
They wanted to see their youngest son even more.
So, the whole family decided to go to Beijing together.
After leasing his family's land to the villagers at a low price, Jia Dashi took his family and left the village.
With Shi Zeyu escorting them along the way, they arrived in the capital smoothly.
At this time, Jia Dashi was very satisfied with letting his granddaughter marry Shi Zeyu.
Jia Huan estimated the time when the Jia family would arrive in the capital, and took Jia Jingyi out of the city to meet the Jia family.
Jia Jingyi felt uneasy and timid about being close to his hometown.
What would he say when he saw his mother and grandparents?
The fact is that Jia Chunying hugged him without him opening his mouth, and his shoulders were wet with tears.
Jia Jingyi's eyes couldn't help but turn red.
"It's good to be alive! It's good to be alive!" Jia Dashi also kept saying with red eyes.
His sister also shed tears at him, and his brother-in-law comforted her.
The uncle and aunt were holding two pink and jade-carved children in their hands. They were his nephew and niece, right?
The family was sitting in the main room. At this time, Jia Chunying had stopped crying and held Jia Jingyi's hand tightly with only one hand, fearing that Jia Jingyi would disappear if she let go.
Jia Jingyi patted the back of Jia Chunying's hand comfortingly with his other hand, indicating that his existence would not disappear.
"That bastard Chu Wenyao." Jia Dashi slammed his hand on the table angrily, "I shouldn't have married Chunying to him back then."
"Dad, Chu Wenyao and I have nothing to do with each other anymore," Jia Chunying said.
Now she has no feelings for Chu Wenyao, only disgust and hatred.
Lu said: "The most hateful person is the Chu Yang family. If it weren't for her, Jingyi and Lang'er wouldn't have fallen into the river..."
