Self-Help Handbook of Strange Flowers to Die [Comprehensive]

Early the next morning, Ding Li went out fully dressed.Jiaxue is not far from Ningguo Mansion, only about 500 meters away. Ding Li didn't let the carriage out, and went for a walk with ginger tea.

When I got to the place, I found that the courtyard of the family school is quite large, with two front and back entrances, and there is only one room that can be used as a classroom.Some tables and chairs near the front of the classroom and the tables near the window are neatly arranged, the table tops are tidy, and the space around them is also large.

In the back position, it’s okay if the chair is not alone, and there’s nothing wrong with the long bench being able to accommodate two people.Ding Li, who was depicted in a mess on the table, can also accept it. For a child, you can forgive me if I owe you a little.It's just that there is obviously no spacious space for the desks in front, and they are crowded together, which makes people feel disturbed when they look at them.

The few students who came earlier still knew Ding Li. Seeing Ding Li enter the classroom, they quickly got up and saluted Ding Li.Some are called Brother Ding Li, some are called Uncle Ding Li, and one is called Grandpa Ding Li.

Ding Li nodded, turned around and left.He didn't stay at home for too long, he came out slowly and went back to Ning Mansion, and he didn't go to home school with ginger tea until it was almost time for breakfast.

In the family school, Jia Dairu was holding a book, shaking his head and reading it intoxicatedly, but the students below were doing everything, only one or two were seriously reading or writing.

The whole classroom was chaotic and noisy, Jia Dairu refused to hear it, and Ding Li laughed angrily: How can such a person be worthy of being a teacher?

There are also these students, because all the supplies for the family school come from the second prefecture of Rongning, so not only do they not have to teach the teacher to study in the family school, but they have enough pen and ink offerings, and they also manage one meal a day.Compared with those poor children drinking cold water and practicing calligraphy on the sand, there is no limit to happiness!

The result now?It's not that Ding Li treats them with double standards, thinking that Jia Rong and Jia Qiang can play, but these children of the same age as them can't.If Jia Rong and Jia Qiang really choose to study at home, Ding Li will not be soft if he is not serious!

"Hmph!" Ding Li wandered in his thoughts, and entered the classroom with his hands behind his back.

Jia Dairu, who was originally sitting, raised his drooping eyelids and glanced at Ding Li, with a slight smile on his face, but it was mostly because of his displeasure at Ding Li for interrupting his reading: "Brother Zhen is here!"

"Six old masters, Jia Dairu, you are really worthy of your ancestors! Jia's family education was set up to train younger generations. These years, if you go to dim sum, you won't fail even a child student. Every year in the family education, we Has the 500 taels given by Rongning and Ningfu been fed to the dogs?" Ding Li looked at Jia Dairu with a sneer.

"You..." Jia Dairu realized that Ding Li was going to make trouble, and stopped reading the book in his hand. He stood up and pointed at Ding Li, "Are you still inferior?"

"Elderly and inferior?" Ding Li laughed, "I only respect respectable people. You control your family education but neglect your duties. You don't have to come here again!" After finishing speaking, Ding Li ignored Jia Dairu and turned around to go leave.

"Why are you so angry, sir?" Seeing Ding Li's face sinking like water, Jiang Cha asked cautiously.

"It's nothing. After you go back, tell the accountant that the family school's money has stopped. Pick a few more people and ask them to post a notice saying that the family school will be rectified and it will be reopened in a month."

"This... the Sixth Old Master... the West Mansion... is it... something wrong?" Jiang Cha couldn't speak clearly, and he didn't even know what he wanted to express.

Ding Li tapped Jiang Cha's head lightly: "Okay, go as soon as I tell you, I'm here for anything."

-

The sixth old man was dismissed from his job as a family school by Uncle Zhen, and before noon, the news had spread to the ears of the Jia family around Rongning Second Mansion.

And after lunch, before the usual school time, the students of home education came back early, which proved the authenticity of this incident.I heard that the home school will be closed for a month, and parents with children who are studying at home are a little panicked.The female relatives went to the Rongguo Mansion with their children to ask the head wife Jia Wangshi. The men knew that Jia Amnesty didn't care and Jia Zheng hadn't come back from the office, so they could only ask Ding Li in the Ningguo Mansion.

The head housekeeper had already heard Ding Li's words, and the people who came were very friendly and entertained, telling Ding Li what he meant by rectifying his family's education.

Those who are really looking forward to their children's promotion can naturally understand that after the family school rectification is good for the children, thank the housekeeper for telling them and leave.But there are also some people who are just greedy for free meals and pens and ink, and feel that it is a loss to lose a month's supplies, and they are reluctant to stay here in Ningguo Mansion and cry poorly.

They didn't dare to be tough, but blocking the door really didn't look like it.The housekeeper also laughed angrily, "You don't have to come to me and tell me, our uncle has already said that the family education is for the children of Jia's family to have a future career. The two branches of silver should all be given by our Rongning Second Mansion Yes. If you make trouble again, be careful not to end well."

It's just ordinary people who are poor and afraid to live with the thighs of the Rongning Second Mansion. How can they dare to stand up after hearing this?Hurry up and leave the boundary at the gate of Ningguo Mansion.It's just that when people left, they had to swear and say some nasty things in their mouths.

-

"What on earth is he going to do?" Jia Wang couldn't hold back the questioning of so many relatives in the end, so he finally asked Jia Shi for help.As for Jia Shishi, he patted his thigh to suppress his anger, and every word he uttered seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth.

"Old lady, I really don't know what to do!" Jia Wang's face was troubled, "It stands to reason that the family education has always been managed by the men, and it is not easy for us women to intervene. But Brother Zhen Son, he closed the family school without saying a word, and the sixth old lady came to me and cried, saying that the sixth old lady lost her temper when she went back, and asked the doctor to look at it, but it still didn't work. And the sisters-in-law, niece and daughter-in-law also came Ask, if this school stops, I'm afraid the foundation of our family will be unstable!"

These words are absolutely exaggerated, but they are exactly in line with Jia Shishi's wishes.Jia Shishi nodded to comfort Jia Wangshi and said: "It's hard for you, old daughter-in-law. You usually take care of this family, but now that brother Zhen has caused trouble, you still have to worry about this child."

"Where is it? Old lady, you are the one who takes pains to worry about our big family. I hate that this kid, Brother Zhen, doesn't know what is good and evil, and repeatedly contradicts the old lady!"

Jia Shishi recalled the experiences of the previous few times, and knew that he would not be able to hold Ding Li.After thinking about it for a while, I finally came up with an idea: "You send someone to Guanli to invite Uncle Jing to come back. Brother Zhen has caused such a big trouble in the clan, it's impossible if he doesn't come back."

Jia Wang nodded repeatedly.In fact, as early as three years ago when Ding Li contradicted Jia Zheng, she wanted to find Jia Jing to come back to punish Ding Li, but after thinking about it, she gave up.

"We are relatives in the next room, so we can't control Brother Zhen. Let his father discipline him." Jia Shishi's mouth curled up.

Jia Wang also had a smile on his lips.Ding Li refuted Jia Zheng's face several times before, isn't it just stepping on his own face?Ding Li looked better this time.

Jia Jing came back quickly.No matter what he said, he wanted to cut off the fate and listen to the people sent by the Rongguo Mansion, he still had to go back to the Ningguo Mansion!The basis for him to practice Taoism with peace of mind every day is the stability of Ningguo Mansion and Jia's family. If the foundation is unstable, he doesn't care!

According to his thinking, since it was his unscrupulous son who caused the disaster, then he would go back and teach this bastard a lesson, and then restore everything that this bastard disturbed to the original state.After careful calculation, probably tomorrow morning he will be able to return to the Taoist temple to practice with peace of mind.However, what they thought was that the family was in such a state to welcome him back.

Things still have to start from the Ministry of Rites.Ding Li sent away three officials from the Ministry of Rites that day, not to mention being polite, but also giving a lot of benefits.The three officials had a good impression of Ding Li, they had gift money, and they handled things neatly, but they notified the Ministry of Industry the next day, and on the third day they sent people to renovate the house in Ningguo Mansion and gave them a new plaque Come.

The stone lion at the door was smaller, and the rivets on the door were also knocked off.Also the height of the mast has to be changed.So when Jia Jing returned to Ningguo Mansion, the gate of Ningguo Mansion was in full swing.It was dust and dust that was blown up by the wind, covering his face all over!

"Master, you are back!" The butler was serving tea to the craftsmen one by one according to Ding Li's previous instructions. When he looked up, he saw Jia Jing standing beside him in gray, and hurried over to salute.

"Where's uncle?" Jia Jing said angrily with a cold face, "You still haven't asked him to come out? Also, why is the mansion in such a state?"

"If you go back to the master, the uncle accompanied a few adults from the Ministry of Rituals to go to the elder pardon. Why don't you go to the mansion to wash up, and the younger one will let someone go and call the uncle back."

Jia Jing also felt uncomfortable with the ashes on his head and face, and the sun was getting bigger and the heat was coming up, so he nodded and went into the house.Just looking at the messy gate, I feel blocked no matter what.

Ding Li was leading the three people from the Ministry of Rites and Jia She to look at the layout of the East Courtyard.

Ordinarily, even if the patriarch of Xijue did not live in the main house, Rongxi Hall, he would not live in the area separated by a wall from the stables.But the Rongguo Mansion really did just that!And only then did Ding Li know that the stables had been moved to the side of the East Courtyard later.

"Then where is the stable?" Ding Li wondered.

Before Jia Amnesty could reply, the official from the Ministry of Rites spoke up: "The Rongguo Mansion was able to order it, and the regulations should have been added by the Taizu Shiqin Tianjian, so the stables should be in the west."

A smile appeared on Jia She's face: "This... this one is right, it turned out to be on the west side! But after Zhu'er got married, the old lady and his wife made the yard on the west side. At that time, Zhu'er My son wanted to study, and the old lady said that the stables were quiet around Zhuer, so she moved to the side of the East Courtyard. She said that this side is also facing the street, and the front and back positions are similar, so let me, as an uncle, take care of it." Said Later, the smile on his face gradually turned into a wry smile.

"Guys, take a look at my uncle's yard. Does it violate any regulations?" Ding Li looked at the three people in the etiquette department with embarrassed expressions, and quickly brought the topic back. "My younger brother is going to get married next year, and my uncle wanted to tidy up a yard for my younger brother, but he was afraid that he would offend Tianwei by being rude, so he invited a few adults to help him."

When the three officials from the Ministry of Rites heard this, they were asked to be consultants again?OK!Then he pointed to Jia Amnesty's residence and told him something, and said that the East Courtyard not only did not violate the rules, but even for a first-class Weiyuan general, it was a bit out of order.Then I asked who lived in the places other than the East Courtyard.

Ding Li didn't stop Jia She, and asked Jia She to explain the living pattern in Rongguo Mansion.At this moment, the servant from the Ning Mansion came to send a message saying that Jia Jing was back, and asked Ding Li to go back quickly!

"My lords, my father is looking for me, and Jia is neglecting me, so I need to stay with you less." Ding Li stood up and cupped his hands at the three officials.

Jia Amnesty was taken aback for a moment, probably guessing whose handwriting Jia Jing might have come back from.However, he also noticed that his elder nephew is not what it used to be, so he waved his hand without worrying at all: "Okay, brother Zhen, go now, the adults have me here!"

Ding Li smiled again at Jia She, who was all over the place, and then followed the young man out of the East Courtyard through the small gate and back to Ningguo Mansion.

When he came back, Jia Jing was still cleaning himself up.After waiting for two cups of tea, Jia Jing, who had changed into a new Taoist robe, came out Shi Shiran, and the first thing he said when he saw Ding Li was: "Nie Zhan, you still don't kneel down!"

Whoops!In these years, Ding Li has never kneeled down to anyone except his master Wu Yazi!

Now someone told him to kneel down, and the tone was so natural. Ding Li stared at Jia Jing with two eyes, not only feeling a little angry, but also a little novel.

But he didn't kneel down, he just looked at Jia Jing fixedly: "Why did the master utter bad words as soon as he came back?"

Evil words?Jia Jing became even more angry: "You unfilial beast, I make you kneel, how dare you talk back?"

Ding Li frowned and was also angry.How can there be a parent who calls a child connected by his own blood a wicked animal? "The master is also a person who has read books, and he will speak unkindly and cruel words at every turn. Why can't he show a little respect to people?"

"Are you kneeling or not?" Jia Jing was so angry that he shook his body twice, pointed at Ding Li and roared.

"Let me kneel when you come in, master, you have to give me a reason!" Ding Li's tone seemed to be explaining the problem to an ignorant child, which made Jia Jing feel his liver hurt.

"Let me ask you, what's the matter with the gate in the mansion? Oh, and what's the matter with family education? You've caused panic in the clan. Is it wrong for me to ask you to kneel down?"

"The people from Xifu asked you to come back." As soon as Ding Li heard Jia Jing's question, he knew that someone had given Jia Jing a blow.Except for Xifu, don't think of others.Ding Li curled his lips impatiently, he was not willing to talk to these people, why did these people always try to make things difficult for him?

"Okay, the master said that he wanted to cut off the secular relationship and practice Taoism with peace of mind. Why did he come back after being fooled by a few words? Doesn't this mean that the master's Taoist heart is unstable and he still loves the secular world? If the master is for the affairs of the clan, don't worry about it." Well, if the family education is not rectified, the foundation of our Jia family will really be ruined. The future generations will treat the family education as a free canteen. I went to see it, and I don’t care about reading, and I don’t care about teaching. , then what is the significance of this school?"

After all, Jia Jing was born as a Jinshi in the serious imperial examinations, and Ding Li's few words explained the matter clearly.After doing this, the anger subsided a bit, and Ding Li said: "Master, there is a year that hasn't gone yet, whether it's a scholar or a scholar, why don't you contact me and say that my Jia family is hired as a gentleman."

When Jia Jing was questioned by Ding Li, his mind began to wander back to the same year when he failed to make any progress after taking the Juren examination. He suddenly came back to his senses, pointed at Ding Li and said, "There is a reason why you stopped studying at home. , what about the gate of the mansion? What kind of system is it?"
