Reform from Jia She

"The son happened to be studying with the second brother in the west courtyard, and the father sent someone to find the second brother, and the son came to pay his respects."

Jia Amnesty knew that Jia Lian was studying all afternoon, but he didn't know that Jia Hu was in the west courtyard, "When did you go to the west courtyard?"

"My son passed by in the afternoon."

Jia She nodded, "I heard that you have been teaching Lian'er these few days, how is it going?"

"This..." Jia Hu obviously didn't expect to be asked about his brother's study progress by his own father, he hesitated for a moment, and couldn't stop looking at Jia Lian from the corner of his eye.

Jia Amnesty lowered his head slightly, seeing Jia Lian with a tense expression on his face, he thought to himself, if he knows he wants face, there is still hope!

Noticing that Jia Amnesty was looking at Jia Lian, Jia Hu's conscious little action was discovered by his father, and he couldn't help feeling embarrassed.

Jia Lian didn't notice that his father was looking at him, he was just trying to wink at his elder brother, asking him to say something nice for him.

With his guilty look, anyone would know how his homework was, not to mention Jia She, who already knew everything.

Jia Hu received his younger brother's gaze and saw that his father didn't mean to expose it, so he bit the bullet and said, "Second brother's enlightenment was taught by his uncle. Uncle was preparing for the exam a few years ago, so he has no time to take care of our brother's studies. Second brother ...the past few months have been a bit playful, but I have been studying hard these few days, so..." As he spoke, he saw Jia Lian begging for mercy, his voice faded away, and he felt quite helpless.

Second brother, do you think elder brother can fool father by lying?

It's not that big brother doesn't have brotherly love, it's because your father knows all the good things you do!

Jia Amnesty was amused by the eyebrow-eye lawsuit between the two brothers, but he was very relieved that the two brothers had a good relationship.

Suddenly, Jia She remembered that when his father was alive, he always looked forward to him and his second brother Youdigong, but it was not until a few months before his father's death that he finally solved the knot under his father's enlightenment.

Thinking of this, he seemed to understand his father's mood at that time.

He hugged Jia Lian and stood up, "Hu'er, come here too, let's sit in the cubicle."

A round wooden table was placed in the center of the study compartment. Jia She put Jia Lian on the wooden bench and asked Jia Hu to sit too.

"Do you know why my father called you to the study?" Jia Amnesty asked while pouring tea, it goes without saying who he was asking.

Jia Lian lowered her head guiltyly, "It's because... my son loves to play and doesn't study."

Looking at the still ignorant young son, Jia She sighed inwardly.

Compared with the eldest son who was smart and smart since he was a child, Jia Lian's qualifications are obviously inferior.

He intends to guide Jia Lian to study hard and not to be greedy for pleasure, but Jia Lian may not understand what he means.

Jia Amnesty had to swallow all the words he had prepared before, and began to think about other solutions.

Sitting next to Jia Lian, Jia Hu could see the helplessness in his father's eyes. He lowered his eyes and felt a little uncomfortable.

He wants to share his father's worries, and he is also working hard to guide his younger brother to study hard, but obviously his ability is not good enough, and his father is still worrying about his younger brother.

"The gentleman invited for you will come to the capital in the past two days. You must listen carefully to his teachings and don't mess around." Jia She was full of worries when facing his son, but he had to suppress it, took a sip of tea, and made up again. One sentence, "Huer is old, if you have time, take your younger brother to study." Don't give him time to go out with Jia Zhen.

At present, there is no way to solve Jia Lian's dislike of reading, so first cut off Jia Lian's chance to fool around with Jia Zhen, so that he will not become like Jia Zhen, who is only interested in having fun and doing nothing.

"Son understands." After all, Jia Hu was old and intelligent, so he immediately understood what Jia She meant, and agreed straightforwardly.

He can't help his father with other things, but he can still help with teaching his brother.

After leaving the Yamen the next day, Jia Amnesty met Jia Yingqi who was waiting outside the study as soon as he came back.

Seeing him, Jia Amnesty knew that the details of Lvxiu's life experience had been resolved, so he asked people to come in and talk.

"Lvxiu, his surname was Yan before he entered the mansion, and his first name was Luhe. His father, Yan Weiting, was known for his talent. Because he offended the disciples of Prince Zhongshun's mansion, his right hand was broken the day before the exam. The person reported to the Yamen, and died of a serious illness within a few days."

Jia Yingqi briefly explained the whole story, and said, "Yan Weiting's parents have passed away, and there is only one cousin. After he left, the cousin's family said that they would raise Lvxiu on their behalf, so they inherited Yan Weiting's family property. In the first half of the year, Lvxiu died. He was sold into the Rong Mansion as a servant."

The details of Lvxiu are not difficult to find out. In a family like Rongfu, they buy maidservants from outside to serve them. It's not easy for him to know the details of his background.

Jia She really didn't expect to have something to do with the Zhongshun Palace. King Zhongshun was the youngest son of the late emperor. Because of his mother, he was loved by the emperor. At that time, there were rumors that the emperor wanted to make him a prince, but he was opposed by the officials and eventually failed. Let it go.

Prince Zhongshun's mansion has kept a lot of patrons, there are wine bags and rice bags, and there are also capable people. If someone can use this method to deal with a scholar, it can be seen that he is narrow-minded and vicious. He may have some skills, but he is by no means a super talent.

"Which one of the servants of Prince Zhongshun's mansion?" Jia She asked this not because he wanted to avenge a girl, but he was not sure whether the servant of Prince Zhongshun had anything to do with Lvxiu being sold into a high school as a maidservant. I'm afraid he is still staring at Lvxiu, if he reuses Lvxiu, of course he has to guard against some insidious and cunning people.

Jia Yingqi had misunderstood Jia Amnesty's intentions, first pointed him to investigate Luxiu, and then asked him so carefully, if he hadn't personally investigated and confirmed that Lvxiu had nothing to do with Jia Amnesty, he would have misunderstood whether Luxiu was Jia Pardon's illegitimate daughter.

"The doorman's surname is Zhuo, Zhuo Weikang. He got into the Zhongshun Palace by relying on his wife and sister. He has a reputation for raising people, but he has never passed the test, and now he is still in the Zhongshun Palace."

It can be seen that it is a wine bag and rice bag!

"Zhuo Weikang?" Jia She felt that the name sounded familiar, frowned and thought for a while, and finally remembered, "Who is that Zhuo Chengdong who is jealous of Brother Zhen in the brothel?"

Jia Yingqi was taken aback when he heard the words, then paused for a while before replying, "If I remember correctly, this Zhuo Chengdong is Zhuo Weikang's only son, and since his aunt is the concubine of King Zhongshun, there is no shortage of him. Bully."

Jia She didn't expect the world to be so small, and after going around in circles, he actually came back.

"Okay, I see, you go back and rest."

Jia Yingqi did not stay and bowed to leave.

Jia Amnesty was about to deal with government affairs, but unexpectedly the manager said that the Xibin recommended by Jiang Jinhe had already arrived in the capital, and now he was outside the mansion, and then he handed over a name card.

"Xi Bin?" Jia Amnesty took the name card, which was signed by Gu Jingchen.

Gu Jingchen was the gentleman recommended by Jiang Jinhe. He was from Suzhou. He came from a family of scholars and officials. As an official in the court, there are also a few outstanding juniors in the family. After staying for a few years, the Gu family wants to prosper again.

The talent of this Mr. Gu is highly praised by Jiang Jinhe.

"Please come in, Mr. Gu, and open the side door."

In a family like Rongguo Mansion, the front door is not open, and even the side door is rarely opened, and usually only enters and exits through the east and west corner doors.

Opening the side door to welcome this Mr. Gu is already enough attention.

Jia Amnesty did not greet him outside the side door, but waited in the front hall of Rongxi Hall.

Not long after, the steward led two people in. The one in front had a handsome appearance and elegant demeanor. From the outside, he was no older than thirty, but Jia She knew that Mr. Gu was already in his thirties, and his eldest son was already fourteen. , two years ago, he passed the examination as a scholar, and his talent is very high, which is also very rare.

Gu Jingchen bowed his hands when he entered the main hall of Rongxi Hall, and the young man behind him followed suit.

"Mr. Gu, don't be too polite, please sit down quickly." Although Jia She doesn't like reading, but because of the systematic teaching, he respects the learned people very much.

Gu Jingchen sat down as he said, and the young man also sat down on the lower side.

"This is Mr. Gu's eldest son, right?"

Gu Jingchen said with a smile, "It's the child Gu Wei."

"Sir, do you have a place to live in the capital?" Although Jia She had prepared a yard for Gu Jingchen, Gu Jingchen was not a shabby householder, so he might have a mansion in the capital.

Gu Jingchen nodded, "Of course there is a residence, but it's just that I haven't been to Beijing for many years, and the old house is left unattended, so I'm afraid it won't be able to live in it for a while."

"So that's how it is," Jia Amnesty thought for a while, and said, "If Mister doesn't dislike it, why don't you temporarily live in Rongguo Mansion and wait until the house is tidied up, and then it won't be too late to go back to live."

"Then you'll be bothering the Duke." Gu Jingchen said with a smile, he didn't refuse, he was calm.

Jia Amnesty stood up, "It happens that I have nothing to do right now, why don't I take Mr. to see the yard?"

Gu Jingchen glanced at Jia She, and said with a smile, "Thank you."

"Since Mr. Gu has already passed the examination as a scholar, how can I choose a character?" Jia She asked as he took the two of them to the west courtyard.

Gu Wei glanced at his father, seeing that his father didn't pay attention to him, he knew that he was asking him to answer by himself, but his father ignored him, and said, "Father has already given the words to the younger generation."

Jia She nodded, and chattered a few more words, getting closer and closer to the west courtyard, Jia She was afraid of being left alone, and kept trying to find a topic, but the atmosphere was still a bit weird, Jia She really couldn't handle these scholars.

He originally planned to ask his second brother to help him deal with it, but he didn't expect Mr. Gu to come so suddenly that he was not prepared, so he could only deal with it by himself, and he didn't know what Mr. Gu thought of him.

In fact, if it is just an ordinary teacher, Jia She has no need to treat it so seriously. It is because of Gu Jingchen's background and his own ability that he is very extraordinary, Jia She dare not take it lightly.

Regardless of the reputation of the Gu family in Gusu, just mentioning Gu Jingchen is enough for Jia She to drink a pot.

Jiang Jinhe passed away after winning the first prize in the examination. Although he did not become an official, his talent and learning were first-class, there is no doubt about it.Even someone like Jiang Jinhe feels inferior to Gu Jingchen.
