[Red Mansion] The happiness of a winner in life

Jia Amnesty's current confidantes are Nanny Zhang, Qin Zhixiao from her husband's family, and four big maids who serve the piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting.In addition, there is a long and happy Laifu around me.

This nanny is the consort room left by his mother, Mrs. Zhang. The four maids and two long followers are the children chosen by the old lady when she was still alive. Jia She has all the deeds of herself and the whole family.

Now Jia Amnesty stays in Jinling to keep his filial piety, Zhang Nanny and the calligraphy and painting guard the yard in the capital, and the piano and chess follow him to Jinling to serve.

In October of this year, Jia Daishan wrote to ask Jia She if he would go back and worship ancestors in the ancestral hall during the Chinese New Year. Jia She said that three years later, he would pay attention to his studies and not be tired of traveling. up.

During Jia Amnesty's one year stay in Jinling, because of his emphasis on filial piety, he did not visit everywhere, only Xue Jing often came to Jia's mansion to help him, otherwise he would stay at home for a year, and he might suffer from illness.

Jia Amnesty has already written to Jia Daishan and the princess, saying that he is going on a study tour in various academies, and he will definitely return to Jinling in time to participate in Qiu Wei, I hope you don't worry about it.Then there was a small farewell banquet with Xue Jing.

Before Jia She was leaving, Xue Jing gave Jia She a wooden sign made of huanghuali, saying that it was a valuable token of the Xue family, and that if he brought it to any shop of the Xue family, he could get help and even withdraw money from the shop.

According to the identity of the Xue family's royal merchant, and the fact that the Xue family's shops basically exist everywhere, and there are even caravans in remote places, this gift is extremely precious and worth thousands of dollars.

Jia She wanted to refuse, but Xue Jing held Jia She's hand and said, "I have grown you up for a few months, and we are brothers, but what do you do with these external things? There is no place to ask for help, if I find out in the future, won’t it make me feel ashamed to see you?”

Jia Amnesty held Xue Jing's hand, the two looked at each other with tears in their eyes, they accepted the wooden sign and put it on their body as a treasure.When the two were reluctantly saying goodbye, the boat was already ready, and Jia Amnesty did not want to waste time, saying goodbye to Xue Jing.

While standing on the boat, the boatman and sailors began to move, and the boat got farther and farther away from the shore. Only the people on the shore kept looking at the boat on the river, and the people on the boat also looked at the people on the shore.

"Master, let's go into the barn, the wind is strong on the river, so we won't catch a cold." Lai Fu helped Jia She to comfort him softly, and Jia She followed him into the barn and sat down.

This time, I rented a boat that travels across rivers all year round. Although the large boat on the first floor may look small, in the end, there is only one master and two servants traveling, which is enough.

The primary destination of this trip is Baiquan Academy. This academy is located in the Central Plains, along the Taihang Mountains. Baiquan Academy is next to the local scenic spot Baiquan Lake. Students go to the nearby Baiquan Lake in their spare time. Turning around, looking at the beautiful mountains and rivers cultivates one's sentiments.

Baiquan Academy is not only beautiful, but even the students are elegant people who gather the essence of heaven and earth.There are many students who go to the imperial examination and win the imperial examination, and there are also many who win the imperial examination and become officials in the court. Therefore, the rich and powerful in the Central Plains love to send their children to the academy.

The purpose of Jia Amnesty's trip is to visit the head of the mountain, and to study with the students in the academy to consolidate what he has learned.

When the waterway was exhausted, I changed to a carriage and went all the way to Gongcheng.

It was February day at this time, and Jia She finally arrived at Baiquan Academy after seven days of toil.He personally handed the letter of greeting written by himself to the gatekeeper at the entrance of the academy. The gatekeeper saw that Jia She was well dressed and polite, so he rushed to report.

While secretly checking the students' reading status in front of the window of the academy, the head attendant came over to signal for someone to hand over the greeting card.Yang Shanchang quietly left the back door of the classroom and went under a tree.

The head follower handed over the greeting card, and Yang Shanzhang opened it to take a look: Jia She, the head of Jinling City, a student of Dayang Academy for 14 years, is a dull man who has heard of the outstanding people in Baiquan for a long time, so he came here to study and pay homage to the head of the mountain.

"Hehe, this boy's invitation letter is written, but he is here to kick the restaurant?" Yang Shanzhang put away the invitation letter, "Please invite this scholar Jia to my study."

When he saw Jinling Jia Amnesty, he knew who it was.Although he has never been an official in the Central Plains, he is well aware of the dignitaries in the court. This is the eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion, the proud disciple of Dayang Academy, and the head of the academy is also a friend of him. He often writes and laments that such a person does not appear in a hundred years. one.

According to the rules, the sons and daughters of the rich and powerful will not communicate with the Qingliu Confucian scholars, so it is appropriate for Jia She to come to study and not ask teachers to make troubles, but also to discuss with the academy students and suppress the arrogant arrogance of those students who are successful.

Jia Amnesty took Laifu up the mountain after receiving the news outside the mountain gate, while Laixi was in the newly rented yard guarding the luggage and packing up the house.

Along the way, although it is February, the weather is a bit changeable, but it is gradually warming up. There are planted apricot trees on both sides of the road. Now the plum blossoms are withered and the apricot blossoms are blooming. The apricot blossoms on both sides are blooming, and the fragrance is full. Can make people drunk in the fragrance of flowers.

When Jia She arrived in front of the study, the leader stepped forward to report, and the male servant went into the study to report, and then came out immediately to invite Jia She to go in.

Jia Amnesty walked into the study with his feet up, looked up and sat behind the desk a man with an upright demeanor, about 4 to 50 years old, and he knew it was Yang Shanzhang.

He walked forward a few steps to the desk, and bowed to the ground, "Xiaosheng has seen the head of the mountain, and I greet the head of the mountain."

Yang Shanchang hurriedly let him get up and take a seat, Jia Amnesty took the first seat on the left, and a servant brought tea.

Yang Shanchang saw that Jia She was so gentle and courteous, and he didn't have the dandyism of the noble sons, so he didn't feel like it. Looking at his walking, standing, and sitting postures, they were all dignified and elegant, and he couldn't help but understand his old friend's sigh, such a good talent and beautiful jade It's a pity that I can't receive it.

"You come from Jinling? How do you feel about traveling far?" Yang Shanchang took a sip of tea and began to ask questions.

"Xiaosheng came from Jinling, and his grandmother valued filial piety just after he was born. He wanted to study abroad to consolidate his knowledge, so he traveled thousands of miles to come to your academy. It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. I usually describe beautiful mountains and rivers, but I don't know how beautiful they are. It’s a long experience.”

Jia She paused for a moment, "Chen Jie, a poet of the Song Dynasty, once said: Once you teach your sons old, you can go out thousands of miles to be new. This is exactly the feeling, and it is not like this that we usually take for granted. It is exactly like this. "

Yang Shanchang held the teacup and raised his eyes to look at Jia Amnesty.

"Read thousands of volumes without worrying, and travel thousands of miles in boats and cars.

It is said in the books that the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the mountains and rivers of thousands of miles live up to their reputation.

I am used to having enough wine and meat from the wealthy family, but occasionally I get chaff and dross from the chaimen.

Thousands of volumes of poems and books are not as good as lines, and thousands of miles of scenery are new. "

"Okay, I have such a feeling after a trip. Your mind is different from others. Others are too tired to walk, but you still have the heart to observe." Yang Shanzhang savored Jia She's poems with complicated emotions, and couldn't help but utter emotion.

"Thank you." Jia Amnesty bowed his hands respectfully.

"How about this, I will arrange for you for 3 months, and you will be able to continue your study tour in May. Would you like to be an external disciple to study with me?"

"Thank you for the arrangement, of course I am willing." Jia Amnesty bowed gratefully when he heard the arrangement by the head of the mountain for three months. He also knew that it was under the care of the head of the mountain, and he didn't need to wait until the day of poisoning in June to go on the road.

"Since that's the case, Zhang Bo arranged..." "Teacher, although I haven't reached the crown, my father has already chosen the word for me, Marquis En."

Seeing that the mountain chief paused, Jia She knew where the problem was, so he quickly posted his own words.Yang Shanchang glanced at Jia Amnesty, "Make arrangements for Enhou, and study in Class A."

"Yes, master. Please, Mr. Jia, come with me." Uncle Zhang saluted Jia Amnesty solemnly, and led him out of the study.

"Farewell, Xiaosheng." Jia She bowed and exited the study.

Jia Amnesty will have a 3-month advanced study from now on.
