Whenever Jia Cong felt the attention from the big bosses in the house, he was always able to pass the test in the end, and he never had the opportunity to directly contact the big bosses in the house.
This is a good thing!
To be honest, Jia Cong really didn't want to have anything to do with the two big guys in the mansion.
Needless to say, the old lady said that it was easy to speak against Jia Cong. As long as he was banned for half a year, all the hard work Jia Cong had spent would be ruined.
Don't think she can't do it. For the sake of Jia Baoyu's future, there's no need to be polite in suppressing Jia Cong, a bastard.
Even if the elder was unhappy, under the pressure of 'filial piety', he still had to hold his nose and admit it.
Don't expect too much from the eldest master. He is definitely a coward in front of the old lady, otherwise he wouldn't have taken away the position of the head of the Rongguo Mansion to the second master.
As for the second wife, Mrs. Wang, it is really not easy for her to interfere in the affairs of the big family.
Don't forget, she is the head wife!
Mrs. Wang is also a ruthless master, and the current reputation of the house is mostly due to Mrs. Wang.
For the Phoenix Egg Jia Baoyu, Jia Cong, a wealthy concubine, is really nothing, and his reputation can be completely ruined in a matter of minutes.
If Jia Cong was really in trouble of being suppressed or having a bad reputation, there was nothing he could do about it. He couldn't come to the door with a knife.
The current situation is still good. It’s better to be out of sight and out of mind.
Jia Cong knew in his heart that some things should not be overdone, otherwise the old lady and the second wife would not agree.
The reason why he published several fairy tale books in succession was not only to continue to consolidate and expand the market for children and teenagers, but also to dispel the doubts of the old lady and the second wife.
At the very least, it is enough that the mythology and story books have nothing to do with the orthodox Four Books and Five Classics, and are even rejected by mainstream readers.
If we follow the path of the first "Young Heroes" and continue to capture famous historical figures, it will naturally have to be related to the Four Books and Five Classics. Will the old lady and the second wife have other ideas by then? Jia Cong will not dare to
ensure.
In other words, in an environment like Rongguo Mansion, it is not easy to stand out without being suppressed and achieve the expected goals.
Even if the members of the branch tribe want to take part in the imperial examination, he has to carefully and secretly help them. If he had made it clear that he wanted to take the imperial examination, I really don't know what would happen.
Fortunately, Jia Cong did not get carried away by the illusion of peace just because he was so comfortable in the General's Mansion.
Several books of fairy tales in a row dispelled the suspicion of the big bosses in the house, and at the same time helped Jia Cong accumulate enough popularity. Golden Finger also changed some of his luck, and almost no longer had any worries.
By this time, Jia Cong also wanted to do something.
First of all, the boss in the mansion must be informed that he already has certain abilities.
He didn't say that he must participate in the power struggle in the mansion, but he wanted to let the bosses in the mansion understand that he had certain abilities and experience, enough to serve as a consultant.
At least, the elder must have such an idea.
Since he was born in Rongguo Mansion, he naturally cannot watch the rapid decline of Rongguo Mansion. This is also closely related to his own interests.
If you want to gain more popularity and accumulate and transform more luck, the resources of Rongguo Mansion can play a great role.
Instead of asking the old lady, the second wife and Wang Xifeng to waste the resources of the house wantonly, it would be better for him to share the profit part, which can at least be transformed into real benefits and strength, and come in handy at critical moments.
The next book he publishes will definitely surprise everyone.

"You have to work hard for this exam. Of course, there is no need to be too nervous. It doesn't matter even if you fail!"
In the side hall of Huiyou Bookstore, Jia Cong was giving instructions to a group of young men who were about to take the childbirth examination. His tone was calm and his attitude was casual, trying not to create psychological pressure on the young men.
"Don't worry, boss, we won't let you down!"
Jia Yun's face was full of gratitude and she solemnly said: "As long as there are no accidents, we are sure to pass the childbirth examination!"
The other boys who were about to take part in the childbirth examination nodded in agreement, and they were all confident.
It's not that I'm blindly confident, but I'm really confident!
The experience of copying books for more than two years has enabled them to memorize the Four Books and Five Classics. This is no exaggeration.
When copying books with a brush and selling them for money, not only do you have to concentrate, but the handwriting also has to be neat. You have to concentrate when copying, otherwise the whole piece of paper will be ruined if you don't make one mistake.
Once the energy is concentrated, the memory efficiency will naturally improve. If you copy it a few times, you can basically recite the Four Books and Five Classics that you have copied many times.
This was also done deliberately by Jia Cong, and the effect was quite good.
Otherwise, with the income of Jia Yun and others in the past year or so, there is no need to continue copying books to make money.
Jia Cong is not stingy. Not only will he distribute a fixed proportion of his income from publishing books to his younger brothers who participate in publicity and promotion.
Even Jia Yun and other younger brothers themselves have arranged the task of writing "The Complete Collection of Idioms" and "The Complete Collection of Idioms".
The allusion and origin of each idiom, as well as the associated plot, are enough to fill two or three pages.
This way of writing will definitely help those who participate in writing deepen their memory. Not only can they learn knowledge, but they can also earn a lot of royalties.
The same is true for the idioms. Each idiom has a story related to it.
So far, Huiyou Bookstore has launched two "Comprehensive Idioms" and one "Complete Collection of Idioms", and the market response is quite good.
With the help of Jia Cong's reputation, Huiyou Bookstore is now the dominant children's bookstore in Beijing. When many families buy Jia Cong's fairy tale books, they will also buy a copy for their families when they see "The Complete Collection of Idioms" and "The Complete Collection of Sayings"
's children.
Just from the manuscript fees and profits, Jia Yun and other younger brothers can earn about thirty taels of silver a year, which is more than making money from copying books and selling them.
At this time, the living conditions of Jia Yun and others at home have greatly changed, and they have basically entered a well-off level. After getting rid of the embarrassment of life, they naturally have higher pursuits.
The imperial examination is naturally the best choice!
Jia Cong set a goal for them. Even if he was reluctant, he didn't have the courage to resist, so he had to work hard and work hard.
Otherwise, if Jia Cong directly stopped their compilation of idioms and idiom stories, the loss would be really huge.
Fortunately, Jia Cong's requirements are not high. At least he can be a child student. It would be best if he can pass the scholar examination. If he passes the examination, he doesn't have to worry about his future.
After more than two years of unremitting efforts, as well as Jia Cong's casual guidance and crazy question tactics, the younger brothers headed by Jia Yun could basically pass the previous exam questions...
