After the Rebirth of the Red Chamber

After Jia Jing came out of the study specially opened for him, as usual, he went back to Rongqing Hall first to pay his parents a respect.

After stepping into Rongqing Hall, he felt that the atmosphere today was a bit unusual.

"Greetings to the master and wife, my child."

He saluted cautiously, without saying a single extra word.

Then, he heard the father above "hum", fully expressing his dissatisfaction with himself.

Jia Jing was stunned, and began to think about whether he did something today that he should not have dared to do.

But, no.He woke up early in the morning and began to review the lesson Mr. Li taught yesterday, and previewed what he was going to learn today.

Then, after breakfast, I went to the study to study with Mr. Li.

I had lunch at noon, and continued to study in the afternoon until school was over.

Full of doubts, he quietly raised his eyes to look at his mother, hoping that his mother, Mrs. Xu, could give him some hints.

Originally, Jia Jing's boys were afraid of their father, and Jia Jing was no exception.

On weekdays, when Jia Daihua wasn't angry, he didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of his father.Now he was obviously angry with him. If he didn't know the reason and stepped on the minefield again, would he still have a way out?

Receiving the sight of her son asking for help, Xu thought about it and made a mouth shape.

Jia Jing: "..."

--ah?Playing around?

Mother, aren't you hurting me?In front of the master, how dare I be arrogant?

My mother is usually quite a thoughtful person, why is she unreliable today?

He was about to give Xu Shi another look when he heard Jia Daihua's dissatisfied "hum" again.

Jia Jing immediately lowered his head, not daring to make any further movements.

But Jia Daihua didn't mean to let him go.

"You winking, what are you doing? Ah? I paid so much money for you to hire a gentleman to teach you to read, not to teach you to learn these weird looks."

Jia Jing adhered to the principle of "you are the father, you are right in everything you say", and admitted his mistake without hesitation, "What the master taught is that the child is wrong."

He admitted his mistakes so quickly, which made Jia Daihua even more angry, "Wrong, wrong. You will say that you are wrong. Then tell me, where did you go wrong?"

Jia Jing looked at his expression carefully, guessing, "Shouldn't my son wink?"

Jia Daihua said angrily: "Idiot!"

Seeing that he was panting slightly, Mrs. Xu quickly relieved him, "Master calm down, master calm down. It's such a big deal, it's not worth it."

Then, the Xu family caught fire.

"A loving mother loses so much!"

Now, Mrs. Xu is not happy, "What does the master mean by this? Why did I lose my son? My Jinger is smart and motivated. What's wrong? Why can't I catch your eyes?"

When his wife lost his temper, Jia Daihua became a little timid.

But thinking about Jia Daishan's triumphant appearance, he felt panicked when he said "I finished "Three", "Hundred", and "Thousand" in half a year".

Then, he became confident again: "He was enlightened at the age of five. So far, he has been studying for five years, and he has just finished reading four books. I said what happened to him? In two years, Zheng'er, who is five years younger than him, will surpass him." Already!"

Jia Jing blinked and realized: So, the mouth shape that Cai's mother made just now was not "playing horizontally", but "Jia Zheng".

Jia Zheng?

If at the beginning, he knew that there was a little cousin who liked reading as much as him and was very talented, he was still very happy.

After all, a hero has three gangs.

He often heard Jia Daihua say that above the court, there is often no support for one tree.If there are more members of the family who have entered the imperial examination, he will also have an arm in the court in the future, and he will not be able to support alone.

However, ever since he got a glimpse of Jia Zheng's character, he has been insensitive to this cousin.

——Even his two-year-old brother is being suppressed, and he still can't see the situation clearly.Such a person, not to mention being trained as a helper, is the blessing of the ancestors if he does not get off his feet.

He had a lot of thoughts, but only for a moment.

Over there Xu said: "Why, are you blaming me for not giving birth to a child prodigy?"

Jia Daihua stagnated, "That's not what I meant."

"Then what do you mean?" Mrs. Xu snorted, "You started talking about it in the middle of the afternoon, and kept talking about it until Jia Jing came back. You kept talking about Jia Zheng. Why, he Jia Zheng is the fairy boy who came down to earth, my son. Did Jing'er buy groceries for delivery?"

Seeing that Mrs. Xu was really annoyed, Jia Daihua panicked and gave in quickly.

"Oh madam, I really don't mean that. I'm not happy after listening to my good brother for a long time talking about how smart Zheng'er is."

But Mrs. Xu didn't intend to let him off lightly, and asked: "He made you feel unhappy, why are you angry at our mother and daughter? Are our mother and daughter your punching bag?"

Jia Daihua couldn't argue, so he had to wink at Jia Jing and ask his son to rescue him.

To be honest, Jia Jing really didn't want to care about him.

Jia Jing now has only one thought: to be elated.

——Father, you also have today?

But after weighing the consequences of not helping, Jia Jing resolutely chose to be a filial son.

"Master, madam, my son thinks that character is more important than knowledge."

One sentence attracted the attention of two people.

Jia Daihua: "How do you say that?"

Xu: "How do you say that?"

Jia Jing was silent for a moment, and then told about Jia Zheng's plan for Jia's amnesty on the day Jia Daihua passed his birthday.

Jia Daihua's expression turned serious: "Is there such a thing?"

"Originally, my son didn't want to gossip about people behind his back. But after thinking about it carefully, now that Zhengdi is still young, there is still room for him to teach. I also ask my father to tell my uncle to let him pay attention to Zhengdi's moral education."

Mrs. Xu snorted, "It's easy to change the country, but it's hard to change the nature. It's hard to break it."

She still remembers the fact that because of Jia Zheng, her son suffered an indiscriminate disaster.

"Hey, the child is still young." Jia Daihua felt that he still wanted to say something nice to Jia Zheng.

After all, it was not easy for their old Jia's family to produce a young student who studied.

Xu frowned and didn't say anything more.

Jia Daihua said: "After all, Zheng'er is a child of the Rong Mansion. Although I am the patriarch, he has nothing serious to do. In matters of discipline, I can't do it for him."

He frowned and sighed, and said, "At this time, I will tell Brother Shan. The child should be educated as early as possible, so that he cannot go astray."

******

Jia Zheng still knew nothing about this.

At the moment, he is silently writing "The Analects" according to Mr. Cheng's request.

"The Analects of Confucius" is also something he has memorized by heart in his previous life, and now he is asked to write it silently, except that his handwriting is weak and needs to be improved, there is no difficulty.

As for the lack of style in his handwriting, in Jia Zheng's view, it was because he was still young and lacked strength.

Mr. Cheng looked at the student he was most proud of in his life with satisfaction, and he had already set one, two, three items for Jia Zheng to practice calligraphy in his heart.

People say that words are like people.The words of scholars are even more appearance.

Although it is said that during the exam, there are special people who transcribe the exam papers in court style, but you can't ask someone to write for you when you meet friends with literature on weekdays, right?

"Sir, the student has finished writing."

"Oh, let me take a look." Mr. Cheng came back to his senses, picked up "Weizheng" written by Jia Zhengmo, read it briefly, and nodded, "The font is fairly neat."

As for the strength of character or something, there is absolutely no such thing.But in Mr. Cheng's opinion, it is not easy for a child under six years old to be able to write so neatly.

Jia Zheng was very proud of being praised by his master, but he still said modestly on the face: "Mr. has praised you absurdly. The student's handwriting is still far behind."

Sure enough, seeing him so modest, Mr. Cheng was even more satisfied, "Neither arrogant nor impetuous, he really has everyone's demeanor."

After carefully reading what he wrote silently, and seeing that none of the words were wrong, Mr. Cheng said kindly: "Let's stop here today, and explain the meaning tomorrow."

"Yes, sir. The student resigns."

After leaving the study, Jia Zheng happily returned to Rongxi Hall, just as Jia Daishan came out with a bad face.

Jia Zheng shrunk his neck subconsciously, bowed his hands and saluted: "Greetings to the master."

Jia Daishan took a deep look at him, and was about to say something, but just as he opened his mouth, Nanny Gui, who was beside Sun, greeted him, "Brother is back? The old lady is missing you."

Jia Daishan's words were immediately blocked in his throat, turning into a rough nasal voice.

Then, he walked away without saying anything.

Jia Zheng looked at Nanny Gui inexplicably, "Mommy, what's wrong with Master?"

Nanny Gui smiled and said, "It's okay, I just had a few words with the old lady."

quarrel?

Jia Zheng was a little surprised, and couldn't help asking, "How dare the master argue with the old lady?"

Although he had contradicted the old lady's wishes on Baoyu's issue in his previous life, as soon as the old lady got angry, he quickly compromised.

In his view, this is filial piety.How can you rebel against your parents?

Nanny Gui has served the old lady since she was a child, and she only has the old lady in her heart.Hearing Jia Zheng's words were obviously aimed at the old lady, Nanny Gui's smile deepened.

She thought: No wonder the old lady loves the elder brother the most, the elder brother is the one who cares for the old lady.

"Let's go, brother, the old lady is still waiting."

Jia Zheng followed Nanny Gui into the inner hall, and before he could greet him, he was stopped by Mrs. Sun, "My dear grandson, come quickly."

Jia Zheng had no choice but to go to the old lady and enjoy her loving rubbing.

Mrs. Sun looked him up and down carefully, and then asked worriedly: "Your father didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

"No." Jia Zheng said, "I just greeted the master when Nanny Gui arrived."

"That's good, that's good." Sun felt lingering fear.

Then, she snorted dissatisfiedly, and said: "If you want me to say, Jing'er from the East Mansion is jealous of my Zheng'er, that's why he arranged things randomly."

Jia Jing?

What's going on with Jia Jing here?

Jia Zheng asked puzzledly, "But what did brother Jing say in front of the master?"

Sun didn't want these bad things to affect Jia Zheng, but said: "It's nothing, grandma has already solved it for you. If Zheng'er is wronged somewhere in the future, he must tell grandma."
