Old and Beautiful in the Red Chamber

Chapter 34: The Great Lord's Good Days Are Over

The old man gloated over his tricks, and listened leisurely to the follow-up: I heard that his elder brother Jing made a big fuss in the family school, cleaned up a round of the school, repaired the dilapidated house, removed the moths in the management, and beat up countless brats. We kicked out some who were really hopeless, those who were not completely crooked after being taught a lesson, and honored to raise Dai Confucian uncles, dismissed other gentlemen who did not do practical things, and invited several good teachers--this year's spring has just passed, and many failed graduates The son is still wandering in the capital, some rent and buy a house directly in the capital and study in the capital, the cash-strapped want to sit in the school while reviewing for three years before fighting, and some are disheartened and plan to find a school in the capital because they have no luck in the imperial examination Those who teach some students, some want to become petty officials for some activities... His elder brother Jing selected a few people to teach children in the school, and changed countless rules of the school. One of them is to classify people according to their age and progress. Usually there are tests, not to mention, at the end of every month, there will be a unified homework inspection in class. The best three people are nominated on the red list and given prizes to encourage them, and the worst three are nominated on the white list and criticized by name, which makes the students tremble and suffer. ——Jia Zhen is busy with her elder brother Jing, and occasionally encounters eyes looking at the elder brother, that is called sadness~

I heard that it was the Elder Master and Jia Zhen that brought about the turmoil in the school. Those students who were raised to behave wantonly and don't like to be restrained, but now they are more disciplined, they are really gnashing their teeth!Those whose family conditions are good or not, or those who don’t want to learn at all, can leave the school without caring. Those whose family conditions are poor and want to read a few words, can count on the family school to give various discounts to the tribe, which greatly reduces the number of family members. Expenditures in this area—after all, only a small amount of repairs are needed here, and ordinary books, pens and inks are provided for free here. The tearful ones have changed from the past, and they have studied hard and practiced hard. It is difficult to change from extravagance to frugality. Therefore, they are so angry at the instigator!Occasionally, when I meet the old man, his eyes can breathe fire!

Should!Ha ha ha ha!

The old man didn't take it seriously, and he didn't care about their crimes. He laughed to himself, playing with his own collection of treasures every day, or teasing his daughter at home, or teasing his nephew and nephew next door, and picking the system when the time came. Things in the store, the days are decadent and carefree.

Probably because of extreme joy begets sorrow, not long after the Dragon Boat Festival, the arrival of a big devil ended the good life of the old man.

Who is the Great Demon King?It turned out to be the third uncle of the Grand Master——Zhang Shouli, the third brother of the Zhang family.

At first seeing the third brother-in-law Zhang Shouli coming to the capital, the Elder Master was surprised. Although he talked with others, he said that when the date of Jia Lian's wedding was fixed, he would send someone to notify Zhang's family. They would definitely come by then, but Unexpectedly, before the time was set, someone from the Zhang family would come, and it was Zhang Shouli who had been ill for many years!It's not been a few days since I received the Dragon Boat Festival gift from Zhang's family, the third brother is too impatient!On the other hand, the Grand Master was ecstatic again!After all, when he saw someone last time, the other party looked like he was about to die. Although the magical liquid seemed to have worked on him, but he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, his heart was always unsettled.Well now, the third brother came in person, and I can see him with my own eyes, looking at him as beautiful and healthy as I remember, as if the ten years of pain and suffering and time like a knife are all hallucinations, The person is still the same, the familiar one makes people want to cry, how can the old man not be ecstatic?

Who would have thought that after they entered the door, they would directly carry him to the study and close the door and beat him up!Unlike his eldest brother, the third brother of his family followed the strict requirements of a gentleman in ancient times. He is both civil and military, and he is proficient in all six arts!Although the force value is not as high as the literary value, it is no problem to beat up three or five big men!It is even more appropriate for him to beat up his skin and tender flesh!Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo That is to force him to write by heart if he seizes the opportunity, and beat him up if he can't write!Is there a big devil in the nightmare? ! !In an instant, the old man regretted that the magic medicine had repaired the third uncle's body so well - if he had known to pour a few drops secretly, at least it would have made him as weak and weak as an ordinary scholar!

"Third brother, why are you here? But what is there to do in Shangjing?" Touching his head full of bags, the elder was aggrieved and dared not speak out.

"It's not a big deal, I just feel that some people's skin is itchy, and I'm afraid something will happen if I don't loosen it." Zhang Shouli rubbed his wrist. It's been a long time since he hit anyone, and he was still a little uncomfortable for a while. With a leering look, "Enhou, are you really capable?"

"Third brother, I didn't do anything out of the ordinary, right?" The elder looked confused. Although the things he did years ago enriched the gossip content of the people in the capital, it wouldn't spread far to Sichuan, right?

"Game console, talking book!" What a disgusting thing to play with!Zhang Shouli hates iron for being weak, whoever gets that magical treasure can't make a good use of it?Look at this idiot, he actually bought a game console and a book!It was sent to the Zhang family in an open and honest manner, not looking for a fight?Everyone told him to be careful about using the system store. Not only was he careless, but he was also doing a lot of nonsense!Maybe when Jia She accidentally killed himself, the Zhang family decided to send someone to watch over him——Zhang Shouli, who had recovered and had a wife and child, recommended himself.

"..." If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't send it to Yue's house!The old man who regretted it back then hugged his head and cried.

"Tell me, what good things have you changed this year?"

"..."

The old man continued to squat on the ground with his head in his arms, pawing and pulling the package, not daring to let people know what he has been doing in the past few months: delicious spicy stick making machine, a fairy product in the eyes of the old man, one coin can be turned into a stick The thing named Latiao looks inconspicuous, but it tastes okay, especially when eating while reading the storybook, I can’t stop talking. At first, the old man even had a stomachache after eating it, which scared him so much that he later controlled the amount of food he ate;

A strange machine called a learning machine. The old man thought it was a machine to teach people how to study scientific examinations. He originally planned to use it for his son to study, but sadly found that it had nothing to do with scientific examinations at all!This is a machine specially used to learn multiple languages, not to mention that the old man and his son can't use it at all, and other people don't like it, okay?It's not Honglu Temple's!The old man said that those foreign characters and sounds are dizzying, and they are not as good as my Chinese characters!The old man can only vaguely recognize that Hindi is quite similar to Sanskrit, and Japanese is Japanese, right?I think it's Oh Lass?Others are too difficult for the master;

A small gift bag of reference books is said to be a must for beginners. Isn’t the old man just starting to struggle when he thinks about himself?Naturally buy, buy, buy, of course, the old man was dumbfounded again when he bought it, who's naughty boy is messing around?Look at the characters are missing arms and legs, Shenma Xinhua Dictionary Idiom Dictionary Mathematics Dictionary English-Chinese Dictionary, it is the same as the learning machine I bought last time, it has nothing to do with the learning in the master's cognition!

A bottle of Essence Blood Pill, with a total of ten pills, eating one can randomly enhance physical fitness, which greatly relieved the entanglement of the old man after watching Jia Zhu die early, but taking more is useless and annoying—this is probably Years and years, the only practical commodity—Master Dan Wan ate one for himself, and put one in the wine for the good boy Jia Lian, one for the girl Yingchun, and the little transparent child Jia Cong, each as candy. The four of them, Sun Jingzhen, Rongqiang, also mixed in the wine and ate one each, and kept the remaining two, as the Yue family didn't have enough points, so they simply didn't give it away;

A piano, after receiving the gift from the Yue family, the Elder wanted to buy some good things for the Yue family. Seeing the name of this thing with a piano, how suitable is it for the gentlemen of the Zhang family?I didn't observe it carefully, so I bought it. After buying it, the old man continued to be dumbfounded. Nima, it doesn't look like a piano, does it?How to give it away?It's just killing the old man to death!

If I had known earlier, it would be better to buy those fancy jewelry or gourmet food. Although there is no surprise, it will not become a shock. How can he reply to the third brother now so that he will not be beaten to death?

Trembling, he took out all the things, and when he took out the spicy stick making machine, he was severely repaired again, but the rest was fine, maybe it was a novelty, his third brother was busy playing with it, and the old man escaped He was born in Tiantian, and he made a promise to others that he must first inform his third brother about what he wants to buy in the future. In the end, except for the piano and the set of reference books, which can be placed outside, it is said that Zhang Shouli brought it over this time, and the foreigner biography The imported things that come in, the rest will continue to be put in the package, and only the two of them will take them out—unfortunately, Brother Zhang thinks that people are too idle to always like to play with them, so he decides to continue to teach people strictly, poor Like his great nephew Jane next door, the old man fell into the fear of being dominated by books.
