Chapter 593 Brothers 2
When Jia Huan returned home, neither Jia Yan nor Jia Heng had returned home.
Jia Chunmei helped Jia Huan unload the basket and carried some firewood into the kitchen.
The smell of food comes from the kitchen.
But this smell didn't appeal much to Jia Huan.
Jia Mu has been cooking for decades, but her skills are just like that.
How delicious can the meal be without much seasoning?
It's not as good as the roast chicken cooked by Jia Huan himself in the woods.
Grilled chicken brushed with honey tastes very good.
Jia Huan walked into his room, pretended to read a book, and started practicing.
Even if the world is peaceful, Jia Huan will not neglect his own cultivation.
Half an hour later, the food was ready, and Jia Yan and Jia Heng went home one after another.
The family starts to have dinner.
The Jia family was divided a year ago. Now there are only five members of the Jia family, and there are no family conflicts.
Jia's father was also a generation of three brothers. Their relationship was neither particularly good nor bad. The separation of the family was considered fair and there was no unpleasantness.
Although the families are now separated, if any one family encounters difficulties, the other two families will also help.
Jia Huan has relatively few cousins in his generation. Both his uncle and uncle have one son each, and the rest are girls.
His cousins were very pampered at home and were raised to a degree of pampering.
Uncle Jia works as a chef in a restaurant in the city and is the one with the best conditions in the Jia family.
The conditions of Uncle Jia's family are similar to those of Jia Huan's family. They only have one son and one daughter, and their food and clothing are better than those of Jia Huan's family.
Jia Yan ate slowly and politely.
On the contrary, Jia Heng wolfed down the whole bowl of rice in a short time.
Jia's mother quickly gave Jia Heng another half bowl of rice.
It was originally hers, and she saved it for her favorite little son.
Jia Yan glanced at it but said nothing.
But Jia Huan saw the faint dissatisfaction in Jia Yan's eyes.
After Jia Huan finished half the bowl of rice, he put down his bowl and chopsticks and gave the remaining rice to Jia Chunmei.
Jia Chunmei gave Jia Huan a grateful look.
As a girl, she received the least amount of food.
And she has to help with a lot of housework every day, and she doesn't even have enough food to satisfy her.
If Jia Huan doesn't give her food, she will starve.
Seeing this scene, Jia Mu also said nothing.
The reason why she gave her daughter so little food was because she knew that her second son would share his food with her younger daughter.
After dinner, Jia Chunmei cleared the table and went to wash the dishes.
The three Jia Huan brothers went back to their rooms.
Not long after, the sound of Jia Heng's snoring could be heard in his room.
Jia Yan lit an oil lamp in his room, and he read by the lamp, which was very hard.
Jia Huan didn't light the lamp. He lay on the bed and began to practice.
The day passed like this.
This dull life lasted for three years.
Twelve-year-old Jia Yan is about to take part in this year's county examination.
Jia Fuzi became more and more satisfied with Jia Yan, and handed over all his knowledge to Jia Yan.
Although Jia Yan is not as smart as his younger brother, he is not stupid either. Coupled with his own hard work, he has mastered a lot of knowledge in four years.
Jia Fuzi believed that Jia Yan was sure to pass the exam this time.
Jia's father was very happy and personally sent Jia Yan to the county seat to take the exam.
During this period, he stayed with Jia Yan.
They had been away for more than half a month, and when they came back, both of them were in good spirits.
It seems that Jia Yan is sure of passing the exam.
The county examination results were released, and Jia Yan indeed passed the examination and ranked among the top ten.
Jia's father was so happy that he asked Jia's mother to kill an old hen and make soup for Jia Yan to celebrate.
Most of the chicken soup and the most delicious chicken were given to Jia Yan, while the others could only eat some leftovers.
Jia Heng was unhappy. He wanted to eat chicken legs.
But Jia's father gave both chicken legs to Jia Yan.
Jia Heng was angry.
Isn’t it just that you passed the county examination?
What's so great about it.
As long as he concentrates on studying, he can pass the county examination.
Jia Heng's little head was spinning.
After he passes the county examination and his father is happy, he can ask his mother-in-law to make him two chickens, right?
One is used to stew soup, and the other is roasted and eaten.
Jia Heng had wonderful thoughts and decided to study hard starting from tomorrow.
He told Jia Mu about this.
Jia's mother was so happy that she promised Jia Heng that if Jia Heng passed the county examination, she would cook three chickens for Jia Heng and fry the third one.
Mother Jia is very confident in her younger son. As long as the younger son really works hard, his grades will be better than those of the older son.
Jia Heng has indeed lived up to Jia Mu's trust. He is the smartest person in the Jia family besides Jia Huan.
Jia Huan discovered that this child had the ability to remember photographs.
He had not focused on studying before, and he had not forgotten what he had learned. As long as he reviewed it in his mind, he would be able to take the county examination.
Of course, this is also because the county examination mostly tests memorization and recitation of content, which is relatively simple.
If the test was about subjective discussion and other questions, Jia Heng, who had no experience, would be blinded.
After passing the county examination, Jia Yan took the government examination and the college examination.
In the last exam, Jia Yan narrowly missed getting on the list before Sun Shan and became a scholar.
This was the second scholar in the village, and the whole village was in a sensation. Everyone was smiling and ran to Jia's house with meat, vegetables and other gifts to congratulate him.
Jia Yan's whole face was glowing red, and she seemed to be glowing when she stood in the crowd.
Jia Heng looked envious.
He also wants to be so beautiful!
Jia Heng picked up the book and read, reading now.
Wait until next year, he will take the county examination.
Jia's father paid more attention to his eldest son, while Jia's mother was full of thoughts about her younger son who studied hard.
Jia Huan silently took care of Jia Chunmei, who worked the most but was ignored by her parents.
When Jia Chunmei is not doing anything, Jia Huan will teach Jia Chunmei how to read and teach her some knowledge from books to broaden the little girl's horizons.
The two brothers Jia Heng and Jia Yan seem to have a bright future. When they become imperial candidates or even Jinshi, there will be many people who want to marry into the Jia family.
As their younger sister, if Jia Chunmei were an illiterate village woman, she would be looked down upon.
Even if she marries Jia Chunmei to win over her brother, her life in her husband's family will not be easy.
If Jia Chunmei is capable, literate and talented, her future husband will also like her more.
Jia Yan and Jia Heng will mostly come into contact with scholars in the future, and their future brother-in-law should also be chosen among those people.
So, another two years have passed.
This year, Jia Heng and Jia Huan will take the county examination together.
Jia Heng originally wanted to take the county examination the year before, but Jia Fuzi suppressed him for a year and directly said that Jia Heng was not good at subjective discussion and asked him to work harder in this area.
Jia Heng was unconvinced, but after being failed by Jia Fuzi on three questions and making a mess of his answers, he had to listen to Jia Fuzi's words.
Jia Heng has been working hard in this area for the past two years.
