Did Jia She successfully break into the arena today? [Red Chamber]

This remark was no less than a bolt from the blue, splitting Jia She's inside out.He he he he he he... He really hadn't thought of this trick... Bah!Unexpectedly, the legendary scholarly family would sell dog meat on a trick!

Tongfang girl, this way of saying has been around for a long time and is very common, but it has always been dissed by the traditional Qingli scholarly wealthy family.Because according to the law, there are fixed numbers of concubines according to the rank of officials, and if they exceed the limit, they will be out of bounds.Every time a concubine is taken in, it is also necessary to go to the Yamen to report to the household registration.It is no different from modern marriage registration, and even the dowry and dowry gifts of the aristocratic families that pay attention to some points are all registered with a list of accounts (for ancient people, this property issue is much better than modern ones.)

But men's inferiority, sexuality, and roots, especially powerful men, cannot be suppressed by the law.Where there is a policy, there will be a policy.According to the law, those who enter the door are called good concubines and noble concubines.As for the singing girl, dancing girl Shouma, and her family's maidservants, etc., those are all considered housemaids.

Because she has served her master before, she is different from ordinary maids.There may not be a fixed number of these house girls, because they are all lowly and slaves.Of course, the favored Tongfang girl can receive the so-called aunt status, and is called "aunt" by her servants in the three-acre land in her backyard.But such an aunt even goes out the door.Noble concubines, among other things, are also eligible to go out for banquets.

So, according to common sense and logic, if you don't even accept concubines, how can there be maids in the room?The housemaid is the concubine's reserve!

"Is this... this... is this evil?" Jia She was furious, "It's a nice word to say, but if you don't inquire carefully, you will believe this evil! It's considered a fraudulent marriage!"

With the family rule that you can only take concubines at the age of 35 or 30 without children, it is very attractive to father-in-law and mother-in-law in the marriage market.

"It's better to be as frank as we are. I don't want this one for now, I have to think about it carefully."

Looking at Jia She who suddenly puffed up her cheeks, Jia Zhen silently closed her mouth.

It's none of his business anyway.

Well, according to the rules of the aristocratic family, when the young master grows up, there will be two maids around him, and they will all be dismissed before the bride enters the door.This is a very well-behaved family.

And because of his young age, the wedding has a lot of political implications. After his uncle explained it to him, no one thought of the girl who was in the house.After he got married, he felt that the joy of fish and water was nothing fun. The quilt in the bridal chamber was full of longan and lotus seeds, and he was tired from shaking. There was also a daughter-in-law wearing a phoenix coronet, which needed to be carried by himself, which was too tiring , It's not as fun as watching operas and listening to music.

Then, Uncle She said that it was fun to venture into the rivers and lakes.

It is indeed easy and fun to venture into the rivers and lakes.

So now he only has one wife, and there is nothing in the backyard.

Jia Zhen thought about it, and yawned, "Uncle, I'm sleepy! Family rules and family rules, let's write later when we have time. Don't we still have to play tomorrow? Besides, you wrote it now, uncle disagrees, no Is it useless? I will not disobey my uncle for you."

"Uncle is the best to me."

"...OK, go to bed first." Jia Amnesty waved his hand, turned to Jia Zheng and said, "When you have time, tidy up and think of ways to do it. Let's not be hypocrites, we'd rather be real villains."

In the last sentence, Jia Amnesty looked at Jia Zheng with piercing eyes, and spoke earnestly.

——Fake prudish backyard is more messy than him, and Aunt Zhao alone is "crushing the crowd".

Facing Jia Amnesty's burning gaze, Jia Zheng felt that his eyes were full of hope for his younger brother, and couldn't help but feel his blood surging. He nodded heavily and replied, "Then you should also pay attention. There are many Yingyingyanyans in your backyard." of."

Jia Amnesty: "..."

Seeing that the three young masters had made an agreement, the waiting servants brought washing tools and waited for them to change clothes.

The next day, according to the teams of the previous night, each went busy.

Jia Amnesty talked about his plan: "Let's go to Suzhou's famous Anding Academy—"

If it wasn't for the distance problem, he would like to go to Wuxi to see if there is the famous Donglin Academy, which was established in the Northern Song Dynasty and will be carried forward in the Ming Dynasty.According to the relationship of refraction, it should be able to find it.

If you can't find it, build one yourself, and write a book [The sound of wind, rain, and reading, sounds in your ears; family affairs, state affairs, world affairs, everything is concerned. 】This kind of wisdom must be spread.

"Second brother, you pretend to be a scholar from a poor family, and sell calligraphy and paintings at the gate of the academy. Remember to sell your own. You can practice your eloquence and communicate with others. Maybe you will meet someone with a kind heart, just like a great Confucian like Li Zhifu last night. Let me give you some pointers. Remember to be thick-skinned, you know? The knowledge you learn is your own." Jia She said with a deep heart, fearing that Jia Zheng would have the burden of a prince, he said softly, and then threatened, "I will let you Nameless is staring at you."

"No, he's good at martial arts, look at you...look at Zhen'er." Jia Zheng snorted angrily and shook off Jia Amnesty's hand on his shoulder, "I understand, stop rambling, talk all the way How many times have you done it? What are you doing by yourself?"

"You..." Jia She puffed up his cheeks angrily, and patted Jia Zheng's shoulder hard, "I'll just be rambling. Look at me, I don't have the status of the son of a duke, how can I be regarded as a scholar!"

"That's at least more talented than you."

"you……"

"Stop arguing, what am I doing? Uncle She!"

"For Zhen'er's sake, I won't quarrel with you." Jia Amnesty turned his head, raised his hand and patted Jia Zhen's shoulder lightly, and said kindly, "Let's pretend to be studying and sneak in to see what the academy teaches, by the way. Spy on how popular Kobayashi is."

"But didn't you say you were looking for some kind of disease last night? To seduce and seduce Miracle Doctor Sun?" Jia Zhen had no interest in Xiao Lin, and groaned angrily, "I won't go."

"As far as you use words, I have to pour ink into you." Jia Amnesty raised his hand and patted Jia Zhen's head, "Why don't you get the hang of it! Uncle is so smart, how can he do useless work? There may be someone among scholars When they are sick, let's help them, when they are in their infancy, and when they are prosperous, we don't talk about forming cliques for selfishness and selfishness. But at least find someone who can talk to you, Zheng Ershu, and pass on a message News. If your uncle leaves in the future, except for the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, we will be able to attend the Great Court Meeting. What about other times? Can’t we wait for the residence to report? That’s no less than a deaf-mute.”

As Jia Amnesty spoke, he was worried: "What if someone cheats on the Jia family?" After his father left, he was tricked by many people, and even when he died, some would throw black water on him.

"Aren't there uncles and the others?" Jia Zhen muttered.

"Aren't you going to investigate your future fourth uncle?"

—Who the hell knows what kind of dog Lin Ruhai brought with him.But the marriage can be broken up directly. What if sister Lin Die dies, and monks, Taoists, policemen and the like come to the door?

Just as Jia Amnesty was persuading Jia Zhen to make a plan, Jia Zheng who was on the side only felt warm when he heard what he said.Although his brother was a little awkward and lazy, he was still pretty good.And want to come...

Maybe it's because the Jia family's military power is too great, and Wu Zhuanwen's needs, the Jia family needs a patriarch who is content with pleasure, so that Jia Amnesty has talents but dare not use them.As for Jia Zheng, because he is the second son, he is reluctant to miss the title.

Because he felt that Jia Zheng, the patriarch who guarded the city, could also do it.

The imperial examination was too difficult for him.

Originally, he also wanted to study literature, just like his mother hoped, to be the elder of the chief assistant, but when he went south for reference, he realized that he was too naive.

Not daring to admit that he was not talented enough, he turned his attention to his birth—brothers who are also from the same mother, why are they treated so differently? The elder brother was born with a title, and Jia Zheng had to fight for it himself? !

Like a poisonous snake, dormant in his heart, he is unwilling to calm down. When Jia Zheng thinks about it now, he feels as if he has passed away, with an incomparably strange feeling.

Actually... In fact, the imperial examination is not too difficult for him, at least he has no worries about food and clothing, and there is a father on the top, and if it is not possible, there is a brother to plan for him. Seeing it, I thought of helping him think about someone in the court in advance up.

Compare and contrast Lin Hai.

Although I feel sorry for my future brother-in-law, Jia Zheng is really relaxed in comparison, without any pressure.

Thinking about it, Jia Zheng silently clenched his fists, and went to prepare the work by himself according to what Jia She said earlier.This is the first time for a down-and-out scholar to sell calligraphy and paintings on the street, and he is a little excited when he thinks about it.

He copied calligraphy from famous masters since he was a child.Although he can't read books well, he has worked hard to practice calligraphy. For the scientific examination, he only learned italics and Guange script.

Jia Amnesty finally made sense to the bear boy, and turned his head to look at the serious Jia Zheng, he couldn't help but stroked his beard and showed a gratified smile.

It’s just that this brat Jia Zhen is still rambunctious. She glanced at Jia Zheng’s completed couplets and curled her lips, “Second Uncle Zheng, have you read the storybook? With you, this character is still too rigid. I never ask for your help when I am punished, it is what my eldest cousin said, your character is tangible but not spiritual."

Jia Zheng's eyes dimmed, and he tightly gripped the brush.

"Then why didn't you say it earlier, and watched your second uncle fall into the pit?" Jia Amnesty looked at the square characters on the rice paper, flipped it over, and thought it should be pretty good.

"Isn't that what it looks like in regular script? The second child is not a calligrapher. Wouldn't it be good if others can recognize the characters?" Jia She said and looked at Jia Zhen, "Your calligraphy is not as good as his?"

"But...but..." Jia Zhen scratched her head and stomped her feet, "It's not right, it's not right! Does Second Uncle Zheng want to be a petty official for the rest of his life? In the literati world, especially like me and my grandfather's uncle and the others. This kind of high-level civil servants are very particular about this kind of..."

After racking her brains for a while, Jia Zhen's eyes lit up, she clapped her hands, and said firmly, "Qiyun, aura!"

As he spoke, still imitating the appearance of his uncle in his impression, Jia Zhen cleared her throat, and sighed earnestly: "Xiao Jia, as the saying goes, writing is like a person, even if it is a pavilion style, it can have its own style. If you don't show your edge , rigorous and square, but not stiff and rigid, square and round, with a gorgeous atmosphere, is the best."

"Mary is next door, isn't this roll too picky?" Jia She snarled inwardly, "Why don't you go to heaven?"

He somewhat believed Jia Zhen's words.After all, it is said in political books that the influence of culture on people is subtle.Jia Zhen's enlightenment was taught by Mrs. Jing, and she didn't study in Jia's house after that, but was sent to his natal family-Song's house to study.

Even if I haven't studied for two years, I often get "sick" and ask for leave to skip classes during the study, but the cultural heritage of the Song family is still there!Moreover, the learning atmosphere in Ning Mansion is better than theirs in Rong Mansion.

Jia Zhen spoke more and more vigorously: "If you look at such words, you won't let people occupy high positions as leaders, because people are rigid and don't know how to adapt. If you really stick to etiquette and have some use, then at most it is the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry." Go to a place that requires etiquette.”

Upon hearing this analysis, Jia Amnesty raised his eyebrows in surprise, looked Jia Zhen up and down, "You... you... where did you parrot the words?"

It's even planned, it's not like what a courtier can say at all.Even so, the Song family wouldn't be able to chat like this in front of a grandson, would they?

If it's true, then the Song family's defeat is truly unjust.

"I..." Jia Zhen was startled by her eyes, groaned, turned her head left and right, and lowered her voice, "My uncle said that when he was chatting with my father, what should I do under Yu Renzhi?" of."

Taking a deep breath, Jia She's eyes sparkled, and he whispered, "Did you tell me how to cure this disease?"

Jia Zheng, who was silent at the side, saw the dimness in his eyes instantly, and he straightened his chest with some pride.look!That said, he, Jia Zheng, is actually quite lucky, he is a little koi.

Jia Zhen shook her head and said wittily: "I was hiding in the study because I didn't want to do my homework. Who knew that my father and the others came and listened to a few words. When my uncle and my father talked about such incomprehensible things, I Just count the sheep to sleep, so as not to bring about a murderous disaster, that's what is said in the scriptures."

Two people in the room: "..."

"However," Jia Zhen clapped her hands, "My grandfather and uncle's books were edited and annotated. My uncle and uncle bought them all back, but they are all piled up in the warehouse. When the time comes, we will go home and look through them."

After the Song family was copied, the family property was confiscated. His great-uncle borrowed his power and used a lot of human relations to obtain the emperor's permission. In the end, all the books and antique calligraphy and paintings of the Song family were bought by his grandson. down.

Twice the market price.

Many orphan copies had to be sent to the palace for free to another grandson of the Song family, the eldest son of the abolished prince.

Zhenzhen was bitter and didn't say anything.

=========

With this foreshadowing, Jia Zheng felt that his mood was more stable, and he still wanted to set up a stall with his works. If, as Jia She said, he met a great Confucian to give pointers, that would be great.

Seeing Jia Zheng's indifferent appearance, Jia Amnesty encouraged him a bit, and then went out as planned.

Coincidentally, when I first arrived at the foot of Anding Academy, I saw an old acquaintance.

Seeing Li Zhifu being welcomed into the mountain gate by his master, Jia She was inexplicably agitated, "Master Li must have come to invite a great Confucian to write an inscription. Zhener, what font do you think is the best to use to best reflect our demeanor?"

"What words can be used to educate the world?" Jia Zhen lacked interest, "It's in regular script."

"I understand. It must be difficult to write with a bit of liveliness in the seriousness, so there must be a famous calligrapher to write it. Let me have a calligrapher, about the little Wang Xizhi." Jia She couldn't help but imagine, their Jia family Maybe it will be famous through the ages.

After all, Guanqian Street is very famous.

"Uncle, the previous little book sage was called my third uncle, why don't you come and worship with me during the Ching Ming Festival?"

Jia Amnesty beat him up, "Such a good learning resource, you don't study hard, you have to take the exam, and then refuse to be an official on the spot, you must be a crazy scholar."

Jia Zhen didn't bother to talk to Jia Amnesty, so she strolled around the academy, which was said to accommodate hundreds of rivers, and it didn't even have walls, so it was easy to wander in.However, several core bookstores in the academy are surrounded by walls.But basically it's pretty good.

Jia Amnesty also felt that the wall was really easy to climb, it was too short, if he skipped class, he would be sure to skip the class.

And look, those who don't have school uniforms don't even know when a killer gets in with them.

On the other side, Jia Zheng, who was setting up a stall with a killer, turned his head to look at the stalls on the left and right. He looked at the paintings that were bright and eye-catching just because of the color matching, and silently flinched while looking at the ink painting he created on the spot. Shrinking his neck, he couldn't make a sound.

Wuming also knew Jia She's intention of letting Jia Zheng set up a stall, stroked his fake beard, and played a loyal old servant with tears in his eyes: "Second Master, there is no rice in the house, wait until you buy words to make money to support the family .”

"But... but... that's not good." Jia Zheng's voice was like a gnat.

"A skinny camel is bigger than a horse." Wuming looked at Jia Zheng, whose eyes were red, and was very puzzled.However, he also heard the audience of the commentary, and lowered his voice when he heard the words, "It is said that Young Master Zhen's family is a well-known scholarly family, and his father and mother are also talented scholars and beautiful ladies. Some people's vision is naturally higher. For example, would Er Ye think 100 taels is a lot?"

When Jia Zheng heard this, he was taken aback, and then suddenly realized - yes, he still has a birth family.Although I'm sorry for the poor scholar, but he did use famous calligraphy from the beginning.Compared with those who can't even afford a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, it must be better.

"But... But now there is no one, so you can't call out like a peddler?" Jia Zheng hesitated, "Look, they are all very quiet and studying hard with their books."

He didn't even bring a prop.

"Isn't that for Li Zhifu?" Wuming felt that Jia Zheng was blind to his birth, and that he was not as shrewd as Jia Amnesty. But three sticks of incense."

"..." Jia Zheng's rationality broke with a snap, and he pushed Wuming away angrily, and shouted directly: "Passing by, take a look, take a look, buy one get two free, and you will lose a lot." sale!"

Isn't it eloquence?

Isn't it shameless to go all out?

Facing the eyes of others, Jia Zheng was startled, swallowed nervously, covered his face and wept, and slowly said the family background that Jia Shen made up: "Save the child, the students just want to sell some calligraphy and paintings. I need to prepare some money, I... our family was originally an ordinary farming and studying family, but there was an unforeseen event, my family was taken over by bullies, and my brother was seriously ill. Misfortunes never come singly..."

Wuming was in a daze for a moment, this... This is just crying?

Out of the corner of Jia Zheng's eye, he happened to meet that astonished gaze, and he snorted coldly—this is no nonsense!Don't cry, how could his parents love him?
