In order to eat, I signed a contract with the system

Chapter 370 Dream of Red Mansions - Jia Yingchun 41

This matter can only be handled in this way temporarily, but it does not mean that Jia Lang will really let it go. After the imperial examination is over, Jia Lang will have time to deal with this matter properly.

In the next few days, because of Jia Lang's strict defense, the people sent by the second wife were unable to obtain the medium that could be used to cast a spell on Ma Dao Po, and they had no choice but to watch Jia Lang enter the examination room without any incident.

The Second Wife angrily looked at Zhou Ruijia, who had made the promise earlier, and said in a very dissatisfied tone: "It was you who made the promise yourself before, saying that you would definitely make the kid from the first wife miss the chance to take the imperial examination. What about now?"

"That person went to the examination room early this morning with his newly made giant claws in high spirits. What on earth did you do?"

Zhou Ruijia was also helpless. She had originally planned to wait until Jia Lang left the house and then have someone break Jia Lang's right hand to end his path to the imperial examination. However, Jia Lang had not gone to the Imperial College for a long time, and she could not wait until Jia Lang left the house.

Later, she thought about putting drugs in Jia Lang's food, but the risk was too great and the Second Wife did not have enough money to bribe people. Zhou Rui's wife was unwilling to spend her own money, so she had to give up.

So Zhou Ruijia thought of Ma Dao Po. Ma Dao Po was considered a magical person in the circle of noble ladies in the capital. Basically, as long as the noble ladies who came to her for help paid enough money, there was nothing she could not do.

Zhou Ruijia, who had thought it through, went to Ma Dao Po on the afternoon of the first day. Ma Dao Po's services were different in degree and price. Zhou Ruijia estimated that the second wife had chosen a coma effect. This matter was not difficult for Ma Dao Po to handle, but the problem was that no matter how difficult or easy it was, Ma Dao Po needed a medium to cast a spell.

Without Jia Lang's things, Ma Dao Po could not cast the spell, so that night when Zhou Rui's wife returned home, she secretly ran to Jia Lang's yard, intending to sneak in and steal things.

Before the prediction, Zhou Rui's family was successful. After the prediction, Jia Lang used his mental power to comprehensively scan the entire yard. Any hair, nails and even personal items that contained his life breath were collected by Jia Lang in the space.

Jia Lang refused to move, and Zhou Rui's wife could not find any chance. Now that Jia Lang had entered the examination room, Zhou Rui's wife could only kneel down in front of the Second Wife and accept the beatings and scoldings.

Seeing that the Second Madam was finally tired of scolding, Zhou Rui's wife could finally breathe a sigh of relief. The Second Madam already understood the situation. Now that the plan had failed and she had not been able to stop Jia Lang from taking the imperial examination, it was useless to scold Zhou Rui's wife for her incompetence. Fortunately, even if Jia Lang passed the exam this time, he would not be enough to become a juren. Although juren could also be appointed as officials, thinking of Jia Lang's age, the Second Madam was no longer worried.

"He's lucky this time. Humph, so what if he can pass the imperial examination? My Zhu'er took the exam three times and finally passed it. I'm sure it's impossible for the eldest wife to pass it in one try!"

If it doesn’t work this time, there will be next time. The Second Wife cursed Jia Lang in her heart.

"Ah!"

Jia Lang suddenly sneezed in the examination room. This time, the location of her dormitory was not very good. Although it was not the smelly one in the legend, it was still a rather shabby one. Not only were the walls leaky, but the roof was also not very solid.

After Jia Lang came in, he did not rush to answer the questions. He copied the questions on a piece of draft paper first, then put the basket containing the answers aside, took out an older coat, tore it open, dipped it in water and started cleaning. After the dust and cobwebs in the room were cleaned up, he took out the oilcloth and walked around the room to block the leaks.

After everything was done, Jia Lang felt it and found that except for the roof, everything else was almost fixed. He nodded with satisfaction for the time being, took out the draft paper and pen and ink, and began to conceive his own article.

The weather was good in the first few days, and Jia Lang answered the questions smoothly. However, in the last two days, it suddenly started to rain. If Jia Lang had not reacted quickly and collected the completed answer sheets in time, everything would have been ruined.

The roof was leaking, the wind was blowing through the walls, she was sleeping on a wooden board and eating a dry bun. Only then did Jia Lang realize how difficult it was for the ancient people to pass the imperial examination. She chewed the bun in her mouth numbly and copied the last half piece of paper numbly, with only one thought in her mind.

She must pass the exam this time. The imperial examination is something that only needs to be completed once. She really can't bear it if it happens a few more times.

After sealing his name, collecting the papers and leaving, Jia Lang endured the sour smell all over his body as he blended into the crowd. Today was the day when the Autumn Examination ended, and the people in the Jia Mansion who cared about Jia Lang had already arranged for a carriage to wait outside the examination room. After seeing Jia Lang, the servants of the Jia Mansion hurried over and helped Jia Lang to rush towards the carriage.

As soon as he entered the carriage, Jia Lang lay down. As the carriage swayed, Jia Lang's eyelids became heavier and heavier, and he gradually fell into a deep sleep. In a trance, Jia Lang's soul entered a fantasy place. Jia Lang opened his eyes and looked around carefully.

"All I see are pearl curtains and embroidered screens, painted buildings and carved eaves, and the indescribable light swaying the red doors and the golden floor, and the snow shining on the jade windows and the jade palace. What's more, I see the fragrance of fairy flowers and exotic herbs. What a wonderful place it is."

The surrounding environment is obviously exactly the same as the description of Jia Baoyu's dream of returning to the illusory world in the original version of "Dream of Red Mansions".

How come I suddenly returned to the illusory world?

Jia Lang had some guesses in his mind, and taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around him, he quickly got up and found a secluded place to hide.

"Haha, come quickly, the queen is still in seclusion, so we have to drink this good wine by ourselves!"

"Okay, let's have a drink together."

The sound of women's laughter came from a distance. Jia Lang looked out through the hidden corners and found that a group of women dressed as fairies were sitting together and playing. He thought that this should be the so-called experience of "seeing all the fairies, smelling the fragrance of "the marrow of flowers", drinking "a thousand beauties in one cave" tea, drinking "a thousand beauties in one cup" wine, listening to the twelve fairy songs of "A Dream of Red Mansions", and sleeping in the "layout" that "has never been seen before."

However, Jia Lang could no longer remember when Jia Baoyu experienced all this. Now she was just curious about the effects of the so-called "Essence of All Flowers" fragrance, "A Thousand Beauties in One Cave" tea, and "Ten Thousand Beauties Sharing the Sorrow" wine, and whether there would be any benefits for her to drink them.

Jia Lang waited for a long time but the fairies did not leave. He changed his mind and started calling the system in his mind. He found that the system did not respond after a long time. He immediately realized that the system had no idea that his soul had mistakenly entered the illusory world this time.

Fairy Jinghuan is still in seclusion at this time, and the system has been blocked. It would be a waste if we don't do something at such a good opportunity.

Jia Lang used his mental power to carefully sense the surrounding environment and found that he should be hiding in a fairy's residence. While the fairy was drinking outside, Jia Lang took out the fairy's clothes, changed out of his own men's clothes, and boldly began to explore the Taixu Fantasy Land.
