Reform from Jia She

Hearing that Jia Zheng said that he planned to take the next year's examination, Jia Amnesty couldn't help but frowned, "Are you sure?"

Although Jia Zheng passed the examinations of scholar and juren in one go in the past two years, it was accumulated over a long period of time, and he was a little worried that his second brother had gone smoothly in the past two years, or drifted away.

"It's just a test of my depth. As for whether I can pass the exam, I don't have high expectations." Jia Zheng truthfully stated his thoughts.

Hearing this, Jia Amnesty also breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he is rational, he was worried that his second brother would be carried away by his self-confidence.

"Didn't you just say that Cousin Jing from the Eastern Mansion is also planning to take part in the next year's examination? Cousin Jing is also knowledgeable. You might as well go to the Eastern Mansion to discuss more with Cousin Jing in the past two months, maybe you can benefit from it."

Hearing Jia Amnesty's words, Jia Zheng smiled wryly, "Elder brother has not been in the capital for a few years, so he doesn't know the changes in the East Mansion. After the East Mansion got rid of filial piety, Brother Jing gave the title to Brother Zhen. He himself It is better to let Zhener directly take the imperial examination to become an official."

The removal of filial piety in the East Mansion was four years ago. At that time, Jia Amnesty was still observing filial piety in Beijing, and Jia Zheng was in Jinling. He knew this matter better than Jia Zheng, but he knew better. , the following must be related to this.

Sure enough, Jia Zheng went on to add the following.

"Ever since you left Beijing to go to the battlefield, Brother Jing began to go to live in Xuanzhen Temple outside the city every now and then. At the beginning, we didn't notice anything wrong. Until the end of the year, Brother Jing fell seriously ill. Please The imperial doctor came to see him, and the imperial doctor said he had contracted erysipelas."

Jia Amnesty frowned and couldn't help interrupting, "Erysipelas?"

"Yes, it's erysipelas." Jia Zheng nodded.

Jia She frowned even tighter, "What the hell did Brother Jing do when he went to Xuanzhen Temple?"

"That's what I want to say," Jia Zheng sighed after taking a sip of tea, "I asked Jingtang's attendants carefully, only to find out that he was concocting alchemy with the Taoist priests in the Taoist temple. Immortal."

"Ridiculous!" It's not that Jia Amnesty doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, but he doesn't believe in the saying that Taoist temples refine elixir. Even if there is such a thing as elixir, it must come from immortals. How can mortals refine elixir?

Jia Zheng smiled wryly, "I also think Brother Jing is absurd. My mother and I advised him to put his mind on the right path, don't believe these illusory stories of ascension, and discipline the children and grandchildren of the family more than anything else. I agreed, and I also agreed to participate in next year's big competition, but I heard from the servants of the East Mansion that Brother Jing just wanted to fulfill his uncle's last wish. To become a Jinshi means to settle the cause and effect, although I am angry in my heart, there is nothing I can do about it.”

After Jia She frowned and listened to these words, his impression of Xuanzhen Temple had fallen to the bottom.

The Jingtang brother in his impression is not keen on the imperial examination career, but he is also a very responsible person. How could he suddenly become superstitious about cultivating immortals?

For Jia She, who was mischievous since childhood and grew up as a playboy, Jia Jing from Dongfu has always been the control group between him and Jia Zheng, a child of other people's family.

Back then, uncle Jia Yan and grandfather Jia Yuan both praised Jing cousin, saying that Jia Jing would be their generation's hope to change their families.

Although Jia She is a dude, he respects his uncle and grandfather very much, and Jia She has always believed in what they said.

For a long time, Jia Jing has indeed followed the expectations of his elders, and has steadily passed the examinations for scholars and candidates.

Later, I did not continue the exam, but also because my aunt and uncle passed away one after another, and Jia Jing had to keep his filial piety, so he was delayed. So far, he is still just a juren.

Jia Amnesty never doubted that Jia Jinghui was the one who led the Jia family to change their family.

But he had only been away from Beijing for three years, why did Dong Mansion change so much when he came back?

What's more terrible is that Jia Jing is not only the person in power in the East Mansion, but also the patriarch of the entire Jia family.

"Why did Jingtang brother suddenly become obsessed with cultivating immortals and asked? This is not normal, maybe he was cursed by someone?"

Jia Zheng was taken aback when he heard this, and then shook his head, "It's not a curse. Last year, because Zhen'er reached the age of marriage, my mother and I specially invited Jing cousin to the house to talk to him, and wanted to persuade him to return to the right path and put more thought into it." Putting it on Zhen'er, but respectful cousin didn't take it seriously at all. Seeing that his father didn't care about him, Brother Zhen'er of the East Mansion had a title on him, and he was quite "prestige" among the dudes. Fighting for the wind and being jealous, a fight broke out in the brothel, and the city was full of disturbances, even our family was implicated, if brother Hu didn't happen to be sick and didn't go out, I'm afraid he would be pissed to death."

Mentioning this nephew, Jia Zheng's expression is really indescribable. If this was his son, he would have been beaten to death with a stick.

Jia Amnesty: "..."

I don't know why, but the Brother Zhen in my younger brother's mouth is somewhat similar to when he was young.

Jia Amnesty thought for a while and said, "The examination is the year of the Grand Competition. At this time, people from all over the country come to Beijing to participate in the Grand Competition. There are also many literary and poetry competitions. If you feel that it is not enough, you might as well participate in more literary competitions." , It can also be helpful to discuss more knowledge with people."

When Jia Zheng heard the words, he also thought it was good, so he agreed.

Just as he was about to leave, he remembered something again and said, "By the way, there is one more thing!"

Jia Amnesty was taken aback, looking at Jia Zheng who turned back, "What's the matter?"

"At the end of last winter, my grandfather passed away. The Marquis Bowling's Mansion is now observing filial piety, and we will change to celebrate the festival tomorrow. Brother, please be more careful."

When he heard that his grandfather was gone, Jia Amnesty was a little taken aback, and after a while he sighed, "I was not in Beijing last year." He also failed to see his grandfather off.

Although he was only a grandfather, Jia She was the first grandson of Marquis Baoling because his grandfather had only one daughter of the Shi family. Therefore, when he was young, Jia She was favored by his grandfather. Suddenly he heard that his grandfather passed away, but he was far away on the battlefield. It is inevitable that I will feel a little uncomfortable when I can send my grandpa for a ride.

Seeing that Jia Amnesty was sad, Jia Zheng could only comfort him, "Brother, Grandpa won't blame you."

Jia Amnesty didn't say anything more, Jia Zheng told Jia Amnesty the current situation in Beijing, got up and said goodbye, and wanted to go back to his room to study.

Not long after sending Jia Zheng away, Jia Hu came to Rongxitang to look for Jia Amnesty.

Hearing that his son was coming, Jia She called someone to come in immediately. Jia Hu changed into bright clothes today, but his complexion was still the same as yesterday, looking a little sick. Jia She scratched Jia Hu's shoulders and arms, and frowned. , "Why is your body so thin? I forgot all the basic skills I taught you before I left Beijing? Didn't you practice?"

Mentioning this, Jia Hu felt a little dejected, and lowered his head and said, "Second Uncle said, I am now at the age of studying, so I should concentrate all my energy on studying, and don't rush to practice martial arts for a while. My mother also said that I will start after my father reaches the crown." Practice martial arts, let me not be impatient."

Jia Amnesty: "..."

Compare him?Can that be the same?He has a system, but his son doesn't!

What's more, his body was not so thin when he was young, and he looked very weak.

[Sub-quest activated, (Father’s love is like a mountain): As a father, he should be responsible for his father’s responsibilities. Your son Jia Hu is weak. If he continues to study like this, he may die in less than fifteen years.Please transform the target to take his son to practice martial arts and transform his physique so that the child will not die because of this. 】

Since he won a big victory in the battlefield and the system gave him a lot of rewards, he hasn't appeared for a long time.

Unexpectedly, when he reappeared, he was given such bad news.

[What about Lian'er, how is Lian'er's health? 】

He had only two sons in total, and suddenly told him that one of them was in danger of dying, how could he not be frightened?

[Your youngest son, Jia Lian, is still in the enlightenment stage due to his young age, so he does not study hard and is in good health. 】

The systematic explanation made Jia Amnesty heaved a sigh of relief, and turned his attention back to his son.

When he left Beijing, he never thought that such a thing would happen in the future.

Although he knew in his heart that his wife and younger brother were both thinking about their son's future, Jia She still felt uncomfortable.

Especially the decision of his wife and younger brother nearly killed his son.

It's not that he hadn't heard that some weak scholars would die in the examination room. At first he thought it was an exaggeration, but now that he saw it, it wasn't necessarily an exaggeration, maybe it was true.

The point is...he didn't want his son to be the one who died in the examination room.

After thinking about this in a flash, Jia She said to his son, "Practicing martial arts requires tempering your muscles and bones from an early age, without interruption every day. It is the same as reading. If you haven't read for three years, do you still remember what was written in the book?" ?”

"Three years?" Jia Hu thought for a while, then shook his head, "If I don't read it for three years, my son probably won't remember it."

"It's the same with martial arts. If you don't practice martial arts for three years, the good physique you gained from tempering your muscles and bones will gradually decline, and it will even be worse than ordinary people. I think this is why you have a serious illness after blowing a little wind." Jia Forgiveness.

Jia Hu was thoughtful when he heard the words. For the past three years, he has studied every day and never practiced martial arts. His body is indeed getting worse day by day. He can feel this himself. A matter of life and death, his words will not be taken seriously.

"If my son wants to practice martial arts now, can he still pick it up?"

"Although it has been delayed for a few years, you are still young, so it does not prevent you from practicing martial arts again." Jia She didn't even think about discussing with his younger brother about the time for practicing martial arts and studying, so he made a final decision, "Starting tomorrow, you and I will go to the school to practice martial arts together, and dad will also take a look at how weak your body is now."

As soon as Jia Hu heard that he was going to practice martial arts with Dad, he became a little excited, and immediately thought of his second uncle, and felt a little worried, "But what should the second uncle say? Go study with him."

"At your second uncle's place, Dad will explain it to you, don't worry," Jia She said, paused, and then said, "Don't be too anxious about studying, after lunch, it's not too late to go to study again In the evening, you must rest after the Hai hour, and you can't stay up late to study, you are now growing up, don't hurt your vitality because of studying, if you hurt your vitality, it will not be easy to recover."

After listening to his father's instructions, Jia Hu was full of joy and hurriedly nodded in agreement.

It's not that he has any resistance to reading. In fact, in the past few years, since he started to concentrate on studying, his health has deteriorated year by year. It took a month to go to the ground, and he could feel that his body was getting weaker and weaker.

But both Uncle and A Niang said that he had caught a cold and that it would be good for him to rest more.

On the other hand, Father, when he came back, it was confirmed that he was weak due to exhausting his mind and mind in studying and not exercising his body, so that he caught cold and fell ill.

Getting sick from the cold and getting sick from the cold due to weakness are two different concepts.

For the past three years when his father went to the battlefield, he has been studying hard with his second uncle. When his father returned from Jinling on behalf of his grandfather, he took him to practice martial arts for more than two years. At that time, he was in good health. Years of studying at home regardless of the severe cold or heat, sometimes his head became dizzy. If it weren't for the cousins ​​of his uncle's family who often came to invite him out of the house to play, he would have suffocated to death at home.

He thought that his father handed him over to his second uncle because he agreed with him to take the imperial examination together with his second uncle, but he didn't expect his father to care more about his body, Jia Hu felt warm in his heart.
