[Red Mansion] The Grand Master's Counterattack Road

"Just now your brother sent the news that he will stay overnight in the temple today and go back tomorrow." Mrs. Zhang told Jia Min the news after hearing the report from his servants.

"Okay, I like this place very much too." Jia Min walked around with Mrs. Zhang in the morning, and even had lunch here. The vegetarian food here is really good. .

"I also like this place very much. I originally wanted to bring my sisters here to get together, but my husband said that this is a private temple, and outsiders are generally not allowed to come here, but it is also, the scenery of this place is very good, and the environment is quiet. There are too many people, and this place might not be as good as it is now.” Zhang sighed, in fact, the scenery of Qingxu Temple is not bad, but there are too many people coming and going for incense, always more vulgar and philistine , it's not like here, it's quiet and quiet, and there's a sense of the quietness of the years.

Jia Min smiled. The reason why she loves this sister-in-law so much is not only because she is the eldest brother's wife, but also because the two of them share similar interests, and Mrs. Zhang did not suffer too much grievance when she married Jia Amnesty, and she also saved the youngest daughter. She thought about it when she was not married, so she and Jia Min got along very harmoniously.

"When my younger sister just offered incense, what did I ask the Buddha to bless?" Mrs. Zhang asked.

"First of all, I hope that my elder brother can be named on the gold list, and then the whole family will be free from illness and disaster, and finally, I hope that I can meet a man as good as my elder brother in the future." Jia Min was not shy, and directly expressed her request.

"My sister is such a character, she will definitely get her wish," Zhang sighed, Jia Min is also twelve, which is also an age that can be fixed.

"Thank you sister-in-law for your kind words," Jia Min smiled.

"Why didn't I see my sister-in-law? Did they go to other temples?" When Mrs. Wang came to Qingxu Temple, she didn't meet Mrs. Zhang and her party. I came to the Qingxu Temple, and the Taoist priest Zhang in this temple is also Jia Daishan's monastic substitute. This Taoist priest still has a bit of face in front of Jia's mansion.

"I have inquired about it, uncle and grandma will not come here today to offer incense." Yang Tao was also surprised.

"Forget it, we didn't come to touch her anyway, let's burn incense quickly, and go back after the fasting meal." Mrs. Wang knelt in front of the statue, praying for blessings to give birth to a son.

Yang Tao also knelt with Wang, her idea was very simple, she just hoped that grandma could find a good family for her.

Wang Shi didn't meet Jia She and the others on this trip, so she was also suffocated, but she also knew that she had no reason to blame, because she wanted to save face and refused to come together to offer incense.But she was depressed in the end. After returning to Jia's mansion, she went directly to Rongxi Hall to greet Jia Mu, and by the way told Jia Mu that Jia Amnesty and his party did not go to Qingxu Temple.

After hearing this, Jia Mu said calmly, there are so many temples in the world, and it’s not just one of them that you can just look at. They can go wherever they like. Temples are different from each other. I always worship one. Wouldn’t it be disappointing to other temples? It’s understandable that they want to go to another temple to relax. The Qingxu Temple is full of incense, and it’s really not pure.” Jia’s mother didn’t quite understand what Wang told her. What does it mean, but Jia Min went with Jia Amnesty, and she would never let Mrs. Wang say anything bad.

Wang was immediately blocked by Jia Mu and was speechless.

"Okay, you're tired from going to incense today, go and rest earlier." Seeing Mrs. Wang like this, Jia's mother also felt unhappy. She turned around just now, probably because she wanted to say that Mrs. Zhang went to strangers at will. It's not good for the reputation, but didn't Zhang's son go with Sheer?Her own husband followed her, so no one could say anything bad, she really has no eyesight.

"Yes, daughter-in-law is resigning." Seeing Mother Jia like this, Wang also knew that she might not be able to sue, so she had to go back obediently.

"Look, everyone is a debt collector, and their eyelids are too shallow." Seeing Wang's departure, Jia's mother rubbed her forehead.

Nanny Lai said, "It's true that she's younger. Isn't there a wife to remind me? Besides, the second mistress is much stronger than when she first got married. If you practice and practice, you will always get it out of it." .

"Yeah, although I don't understand anything, but fortunately, I'm not clumsy. I have a long memory after teaching it a few times. Although it's not as good as Zhang's, I won't make mistakes in big scenes. I can't ask for too much." Mother Jia sighed.

"Grandma's kindness is their blessing," Lai Nanny said.

"By the way, how are you doing with the two girls I asked you to find?" Mother Jia asked.

"My wife has met them before. They are all smart girls who learn quickly. But, will my wife give these two girls to the second master?" Mammy Lai asked.

Mother Jia shook her head. Originally, her plan was to bestow it on Jia Zheng, but she had no reason on weekdays, and said, "Isn't Shei'er going to take part in the palace examination in a few days? The palace examination will not pass people down, It will only be re-ranked, and I will definitely express it when the time comes, and on that day, if each of these two girls is given one, the Sheer family and the Zhenger family will not be able to say anything wrong."

"Grandma is wise." Nanny Lai nodded.

"By the way, have Shi Nai and Shi Ding returned to the northwest now?" Mother Jia asked.

Nanny Lai counted with her fingers, and said: "Not yet, the two cousins ​​should go back early next month, there are still a few days left."

"You also prepare some things for them for me. The place in the northwest is desolate, and there is nothing you want. The two nephews may have suffered a lot. Fortunately, there was no major war at the border this time, so they had time to go back to the capital to attend the wedding of the children. , It's a pity that my brother is the chief general, even if I'll get married, I can't go back, I haven't seen my brother for many years." Jia Mu sighed.

"After all, it is the holy one who puts a high value on it, so that uncle and master are allowed to guard the northwest gate. It's a pity that we close relatives, it's hard to see each other on weekdays. I really feel wronged." Madam Lai seemed to feel the same way.

"My brother has been guarding the border and suffering for the prosperity of our historian. Look at the generals who were at the same time as my brother. Let alone the four kings with different surnames. The king of Beijing married a princess, completely gave up his military power, and became a general in the capital. The children of the clan, the other three kings with different surnames still have the military power, but they are severely squeezed on weekdays. Among the four kings with different surnames, only King Beijing is the most favored. The vice-commander of the forbidden army, besides commanding the forbidden army, the other seven princes, although they all hold military positions, who can lead the army? Looking at the old relatives from Jinling, the military power of the Wang family was also taken away early in the morning. The imperial merchants, the Jia family, and their husband and the uncle of the Dongfu are the only ones who are the real leaders of the army. Therefore, our historians can win a seat in a place where the nobles gather like the capital, and it is also in the hands of my elder brother. Military power," Jia Mu said.

Nanny Lai also sighed. On weekdays, Jia Daishan would talk about the court situation with Jia Mu, and she had a clear grasp of the court situation. Unfortunately, she was still defeated in the first life, and she could clearly feel that the registered new emperor was right. The dissatisfaction of these veteran nobles, but she never started from men, but sent Yuan Chun into the palace, starting from the harem, maybe she saw the success of the concubine Zhen, but she forgot the relationship between the emperor and the new emperor After all, she is just a housewife, and her vision of seeing things is too narrow.

"Also, among the things for Shi Nai and Shi Ding, it is good to prepare more food and clothing, as well as medicinal materials. The rest of the things are not needed in the army, and they will be cumbersome to carry on the road." Jia Mother exhorted.

"Don't worry, ma'am, the servants followed you from the historian's house, and they are familiar with these things," Madam Lai said.

"I've always been at ease when you handle things," Mother Jia said with a smile.

"Ma'am, I have some doubts. Jia's mansion is now slowly shifting from military to literary, and entering the court with literary. Why can't we historians go this way? It is not only difficult but also dangerous to guard the border all the time," Lai Nanny said.

"If Wu Zhuan Wen is so good, then all the military generals in the capital will be Wu Zhuan Wen, not to mention whether these men who have fought for half their lives will grasp the pen, or whether the children in the family can read well. You have to consider whether the saint is allowed or not. The prerequisite for the saint's promise is that your entire family first gives up the military power in your hands. After the whole family gives up the military power in your hands, your heirs can study hard. At this time, the shortcomings of generals come again. Really capable Most scholars would not want to come to teach in a family like ours, which would damage their reputation. If luck is good, like our Jia family, the first generation of transformation will be successful in the gold list. No, the capital accumulated by the ancestors has been exhausted long ago, and the family will be defeated." Thinking of this, Jia's mother also had to admire Jia She's good luck. He married the daughter of the Zhang family. Although he had no teacher, he had three The eldest brother-in-law taught him, otherwise he would not be able to pass the Jinshi examination, and Jia Jing also married the daughter of his uncle's family, and his grandfather's family worked hard to train him to pass the examination. The ancestral family is basically broken. The historians are military generals, and the Wang family is also a military general. How did they train Jia Zheng? At that time, she wanted Jia Zheng to go to school with Jia Amnesty, but it was a pity that Jia Zheng refused.

Nanny Lai also knows the situation. For example, in the Jia family, Shuxiu, who invites his wife, is also first-rate, but there are no scholars who are willing to come to teach, even if the family is too poor. Nanny Lai doesn’t understand much, but Those scholars call it integrity, Lai Nanny wants to say, starving to death, and still caring so much, but in the eyes of these scholars, it is not good enough, so that Jia Zheng is still studying with Jia Daishan's master, who usually goes out It's not bad to write and post articles, but his level of teaching students is really not enough.
