Reform from Jia She

Jia Amnesty's mind is full of his father's earnest teachings in the months before his death.

He took a deep breath, and his expression suddenly became firm.

He promised his father, he must not break his promise, he can't watch the east mansion lead to the west mansion, brother Zhen is afraid that it will be wrong, but isn't brother Zhen's daughter-in-law already pregnant?

Jia Jing is ruthless and unreliable, Jia Zhen is a troublemaker, it is good not to cause trouble, there is no hope at all.Now we can only hope that Jia Zhen's wife is carrying a boy, who will be brought up well after birth, and he must not be the same as Jia Jing and Jia Zhen.

Now that the decision has been made, Jia Amnesty has nothing to continue to struggle with.

But what Jia Amnesty has to do today is not just persuading Jia Jing.

Jia Amnesty came out of the study and went directly to the west courtyard.

When they arrived at the gate of the west courtyard, Lvxiu's persuasive voice came from inside.

"My dear Second Master, you should stay at home and study hard. If the Second Master asks you some other day, you won't be able to answer a single sentence. With the Second Master's temper, you will be punished."

Jia She paused for a moment, changed his mind, waved his hand to let the girl who wanted to communicate go away, and stood outside the door and listened quietly.

Soon Jia Lian's voice came from the room, "Second Uncle doesn't have time to take care of me now."

Jia Amnesty immediately frowned, but still endured and did not open the door to go in.

"Even if the second master doesn't care about you now, when the husband arrives in the capital later, if you can't answer the endorsement, the wife will punish you."

Jia She frowned slightly. If he remembered correctly, Lvxiu was originally a maid in front of the Zhang family, and was later pointed out to take care of Jia Lian. He didn't have any impression of this girl at all. Mortal wisdom.

"Sir? Where did our family come from, Mr. Luxiu? Sister Luxiu, don't try to fool me." Jia Lian smiled, obviously not believing what Luxiu said.

Luxiu was not annoyed, and said unhurriedly, "Second Master, don't take it to heart, this servant didn't lie to fool you, sister Biping who was in front of my wife told me early on that my wife went to write a letter to Jinling a few years ago. , please ask the wife’s cousin to find a gentleman for the masters in the house, and you should arrive in the capital in these two days, if you can’t answer the question of the gentleman, don’t blame the servants for not telling you in advance.”

"Mr. Please, why didn't I know about this?" Jia Lian finally lost his carelessness. Although he could not say he was flustered, he was obviously not calm.

Luxiu replied calmly, "This is what the master and his wife discussed a long time ago. Although the slaves don't know why the master and wife didn't tell the masters, but now is not the time for the second master to think about these things. The second master has been too indulgent these past few months. , How much do you remember from the books you memorized earlier? Don’t you forget them all? Why don’t you read more before your husband arrives in Beijing, and when your husband comes another day, the uncle and the second room’s uncle Zhu can all recite it, only the second master How embarrassing it is if you can’t recite it!”

Hearing this, Jia She took two steps back, feeling emotional in his heart, although she is only a maid, this Lvxiu is really smart, if she can control Jia Lian, he will not be stingy to give her grace, and give her freedom when she is old.

After a while, Jia Lian's stuttering sound of reading could be heard in the room, and it seemed that he was persuaded by Lvxiu.

Jia She, who was standing outside the door, could not help covering his forehead when he heard his son stuttering.

It's only been a few months?Stumbling like this when studying, it can be seen that it is the result of overindulgence in the past few months.

With a creaking sound, the door was opened from the inside. Before Lvxiu could come out, she saw Jia She standing outside the door, her pretty face paled immediately, she was about to salute but was stopped by Jia She, she was stunned.

Jia She shook his head at her, raised his chin, and signaled her to talk to him.

Seeing that Jia She had no intention of questioning the crime, Lvxiu heaved a sigh of relief, hurried out to close the door, and followed Jia She to the outside of the courtyard.

"Your servant is impolite, please forgive me." Luxiu went out of the courtyard and knelt down towards Jia She.

Jia She was stunned by this action, then came to his senses, smiled and shook his head, telling her to get up, "I asked you to come out because I have something to ask you, not to ask about your crimes, you should get up and talk."

Jia She was gentle and talkative, but Luxiu didn't dare to take advantage of it. She respectfully thanked her before she got up, and she still lowered her head after standing up, not looking at Jia She.

"Has Lian'er been to Dongfu in the past few days?" Seeing that Lvxiu was a little nervous, Jia She asked a question casually.

But this question made Lu Xiuxin suddenly raise it, and became more and more nervous, "If you go back to the father-in-law, the second master hasn't been to the East Mansion recently."

"Oh?" Jia Amnesty raised his eyebrows, "Brother Zhen handed over a message to invite him two days ago, but he didn't go?"

Hearing this, Luxiu became even more nervous, for fear that Jia She would not believe her, "These days the uncle will come to the west courtyard to find the second master, and take the second master to the school grounds to practice martial arts together, saying that the second master has also reached the age where he can practice martial arts, so why not do nothing every day? Practice martial arts with him."

Jia She instantly understood the reason why Jia Lian didn't go out. It turned out that Hu'er had stopped Lian'er and didn't let him go to Dongfu.

It seems that when Hu'er said that she would stop Jia Lian from going to Dongfu to play, she was not just talking.

"I heard what you said just now to persuade Lian'er to study. You are very good."

Lvxiu lowered her head, "Slaves dare not take credit."

Take credit?

Jia She looked at Lvxiu thoughtfully, "If I remember correctly, you turned out to be the maid in front of my wife."

When he returned to Beijing, he saw this maid beside Mrs. Zhang. After moving to the courtyard, Lvxiu was arranged to take care of Jia Lian in the west courtyard.

Luxiu was startled when she heard the words, she didn't expect Jia She to remember that she used to serve his wife.

Thinking of what she had heard about Jia Amnesty's past from Biping's sister, Luxiu panicked.

"The servant girl used to serve the wife. Later, the second master was arranged to live in the west courtyard, and the wife arranged the slave servant to take care of the second master in the west courtyard."

"You don't speak like an ordinary girl. You seem to have read books and taught yourself?" Seeing Lvxiu looking like she wanted to stay away from him, Jia She couldn't help wondering. He was really greedy and lustful in the early years, but now he has changed this. What's wrong, why does Lv Xiu look like she can't avoid him?

Lvxiu felt uneasy, she didn't know where she caught Jia She's attention, she was caught and asked non-stop, but Jia She is the king of the country, she is a little maid, how dare she show her face.

"The servant's father is a scholar, and the servant is an only daughter. She studied with her father when she was young." Luxiu replied with her head down, her words were concise, and her rejection of Jia She was palpable.

Jia She was surprised when he heard this, "Aren't you a child?"

Family-born children are the children of slaves and maidservants, and they are all called family-born children.

"The servant girl was sold into Jia's mansion by my aunt." Luxiu lowered her head with a gloomy expression.

After hearing this, Jia Amnesty was very puzzled.

Mr. Xiucai is not an ordinary person. Although he does not understand the Four Books and Five Classics, he has learned the most basic etiquette under the persecution of the system.

In front of local officials, scholars have many privileges, and the common people have never been better than scholars when they deal with the government. During the New Year and festivals, some villagers ask scholars to write couplets, and the piles are all income.

Although noble families like them all call scholars poor and poor, poor scholars are only for the rich and powerful like them. In fact, for the ordinary people below, the scholar is already extremely remarkable.Scholars who can live a very poor life are probably incompetent people.

Lvxiu is an only daughter, and she studied with her father who was a scholar. It can be seen that she is very popular with her father. How could she be sold into the house by her aunt as a maidservant?

"Since you are your father's only daughter, how could your aunt sell her into the mansion as a maidservant?" As soon as these words came out, Jia Amnesty thought of a possibility, and immediately wanted to take them back.

Luxiu felt that her mouth was full of bitterness, "When I was young, my father was seriously ill, and there was no cure for it."

If there is no cure for the medicine stone, that person must be gone.

The possibility Jia She thought of before was that Lvxiu's father was gone.

Lvxiu's attitude of avoiding him is too obvious, and Jia She is not a fool, so he can probably guess the reason, and Lvxiu used to be served by Mrs. Zhang, and I think I heard about him from the old people around Mrs. Zhang. Those darn things.

The daughter of a scholar, she has also read books, and she knows books and reason.

If it wasn't for the fact that her father hadn't passed away, at her youthful age, she would have already been married.

It is not difficult to understand that such a girl is unwilling to cling to her as a concubine.If she can take good care of Jia Lian and urge Jia Lian to study and improve, he will not hesitate to give her a favor.

"Hello, please urge Lian'er to study and improve. When you reach the age, the master will allow you to be free and marry yourself when you leave the house."

Lvxiu suddenly raised her head when she heard the words, "Grandpa..."

"What?" Jia Amnesty looked at the astonished Lvxiu with a calm expression on his face.

Lvxiu really didn't expect that, just taking care of Jia Lian, the Duke of the State would allow him to get married on his own.

Although she was not a child of the mansion, her aunt had sold her to Jia's mansion with a death contract, that is to say, she could not be redeemed, and she could only be a slave for the rest of her life.

Jia Amnesty allowed her to be free and marry on her own.As long as she takes good care of Jia Lian and urges Jia Lian to make progress.

This is simply pie in the sky!

But she wasn't sure if it was Jia She's testing her, and before she had time to think about it, she knelt down, "Taking care of the second master and supervising the second master are the duties of slaves."

"But you did a good job, and I want to reward you too. The right way is to distinguish rewards and punishments." Jia She waved his hand, "Okay, get up, and don't tell your second master that I've been here." Say no more, turn around and leave.

Luxiu, who was kneeling on the ground, was a little dazed when she saw Jia She leave so simply and neatly. It was not until Jia She's figure disappeared that she gradually regained her composure.

Standing up and looking at the study, Lvxiu thought deeply, with a firm expression.

For her own sake, she has to put more effort into urging Jia Lian to improve his studies.

……

On the way back to Rongxi Hall, Jia She was also thinking about Lvxiu, not because he had any perverse thoughts about Lvxiu, but because he wanted someone to investigate the details of Lvxiu's background, so that he could rest assured if he knew the basics.

When they arrived at the study, Jia Amnesty sent someone to invite Jia Yingqi to meet him in the study.

Jia Yingqi was his personal soldier, and even Jia Wu's eldest son. He had studied martial arts with Jia Wu since he was a child. When he left Beijing, Jia Yingqi was ordered by Jia Wu to go to the battlefield with him. In three years, he became the leader of his personal soldiers.

"Your subordinate pays homage to the general. I don't know if the general is calling his subordinates. What is your order?"

Jia Yingqi, as Jia She's personal soldier, has always called General Jia She, even though Jia She is now the king of the country, he still calls General Jia She.

Jia She stood in front of the window with her hands behind her back, "There is a maid named Lvxiu next to Lian'er, go and find out her details for me."

Jia Yingqi's expression was slightly startled, and he regained his composure in an instant, "This subordinate will go and investigate."

Although he thought it was overkill for the general to ask him to investigate the details of a maid, he never disobeyed the general's orders.

For Jia Yingqi's ability, Jia Amnesty can still trust, and I believe there will be results soon.

After dinner in the evening, Jia Amnesty asked Jia Lian to come to the study.

When Jia Lian arrived at Rongxi Hall's study room, he ran directly to Jia She, asking him to hug him, "Father."

Seeing the innocent young boy on his face, Jia She lifted him up with a gentle expression. Before he could speak, he saw another young man coming in at the door, wearing a bamboo blue brocade robe. After entering, he saluted directly, "Father."

"Hu'er? Why are you here?" Jia She wondered.
