Kuai Chuan's brother is the real boss

The Jia family fell, faster than Jiang Yan expected, and different from what I remembered, it was not after Yuan Chun passed away. When Yuan Chun was still alive, the Jia family was punished by the emperor. It would take a few years in the morning .

The Ministry of Criminal Justice intervened in the investigation, and all the evil things that the Jia family had done before were brought to light. Those who were imprisoned, those who were exiled, those who deserved to be killed, and those who deserved to be killed. Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion, which were originally famous outside, have been completely submerged in the river of history.

Xue Pan of the Xue family, and most of the historians, suffered the same fate as the members of the Jia family. Jiang Yan got the news that Xue Pan died during the exile. of.

Jiang Yan doesn't know the more specific reason, and of course there may be no more specific reason at all. After all, Xue Pan is just a useless person now, and who will go to great lengths to deal with him?

Jiang Yan deliberately went to inquire about it, and only Jia Baoyu survived in the entire Jia family. He did not do anything against the law and was acquitted.

The final result was that in that winter, Jia Baoyu went to the woods outside the city, and no one saw him again after that.

After all the dust settled, Wang Ziteng resigned from office and returned to his hometown. He could finally rest after working hard all his life. What he worried about did not happen. Wang Ziteng thought it was His Majesty's special kindness to him, and he was always grateful after returning to his hometown. .

Jiang Yan was noncommittal about his thoughts. It is true that the emperor has not involved the Wang family at all. It must be because of Wang Ziteng, but this is not the emperor's special kindness to him. Well, the emperor is not a foolish king, and if he wants to convict, he must have evidence.

However, there is no need for Jiang Yan to correct Wang Ziteng's thinking. In this dynasty, the courtiers were utterly loyal to the emperor. In fact, it was not only Wang Ziteng, even if Jia Zheng didn't have much talent, his official position was taken by the late emperor for his father's sake Yes, but Jia Zheng is still very respectful and loyal to the royal family.

It can be said that as long as a courtier who has no rebellious heart, no matter how capable he is, no matter if he is corrupt and perverts the law, there is no need to doubt his loyalty to the royal family, let alone the prince Teng.

Now that he is old and his health is getting worse, as long as he can enjoy his old age comfortably, there is no need to instill in him the idea of ​​equal rights, and of course it is very likely that he will not be instilled at all.

An era has a thought of an era, he can subtly influence a person with his own actions, but Wang Ziteng is already old, and he told him that the emperor did not punish the royal family not because of mercy, but because there was no crime, Wang Ziteng is sure He would think that it was because Jiang Yan was not loyal enough to the emperor.

But having said that, Jiang Yan didn't want to make a big difference in his official career. This point is similar to Chen Ling's. It is just to achieve a certain goal, and the imperial examination is just a means.

Now the other three families have fallen, and the Wang family is still there. As long as this situation continues, there should be no problem, so Jiang Yan thought of resigning.

From the perspective of the outside world, it is because of Wang Ziteng's hard work over the years that the emperor did not implicate the Wang family when he targeted the other three families. After the scene of the decline, no one will care about what happened to the Wang family in the future.

So after Jiang Yan's one-year tenure in the Northwest expired, he proposed to resign, citing poor health as an excuse. Jiang Yan has never married a wife in these years, and there have been many people talking about his physical condition, and now he just borrows this by the head.

The emperor quickly agreed, perhaps because Jiang Yan belonged to the royal family, the current emperor does not like the close relationship between the various clans, once the courtiers become more powerful, the emperor will be the first to be affected.

But there is nothing wrong with the Wang family. Now that Wang Ziteng has resigned, Jiang Yan has also resigned, which just solves the emperor's desire not to let the family grow stronger. Of course, the emperor will agree.

When he resigned and returned to his hometown, his family members were quite critical of his resignation. Among them, Wang Zisheng and Wang Ren, who were the leaders, probably thought that Wang Ziteng would no longer be an official, and Jiang Yan would no longer be an official, and the Wang family would have nothing to rely on.

But Jiang Yan didn't care about their feelings at all. Ordinary people, obeying the law and living in peace, what do they need such a reliable backer?

It can be seen that they have not seen clearly after the destruction of these families. As long as the backer is not the emperor, the princes and generals may fall, but even the emperor must be reliable?The emperor is unpopular, and the people are revolting, so relying on the emperor is still unreliable.

No matter when, it is the most reliable to rely on oneself, not to defy the law, and to walk alone in the world.

Wang Ziteng has been in the officialdom for decades, and he didn't say much about Jiang Yan's resignation. He himself resigned and returned home. Although the Wang family has not been destroyed, there is no real safety in the officialdom. It will be safer than in the court.

"It's good that my brother is back. We haven't seen each other for a long time. This time we can stay together forever." She is already a mother of two, but Wang Xifeng couldn't help acting like a baby when she saw Jiang Yan.

"Brother, you don't know. I was really scared when people from the imperial court came to the Shijia to arrest people. Every night I had nightmares, and I dreamed of you. You were pressed by those guards to Caishikou and beheaded. You were woken up one after another. For several days, even later, I was afraid to sleep."

Wang Xifeng was terrified when she thought of the nightmares of those few days. Fortunately, Chen Ling didn't go out to do business at that time, and was always by her side. Afterwards, she received several letters from Jiang Yan, until Jiang Yan said in the letter that he was going to resign. , she was completely at ease.

"I made you worry, and this kind of thing won't happen again in the future." The crisis has been resolved, unless it's really a dream, otherwise it won't happen again.

Wang Xifeng smiled, a little disappointed, "Sometimes it really feels like a dream, my brother and I are the mother of two children, I never thought I would be a mother before."

The word mother doesn't have a high sense of existence in her impression. When she first felt a child moving in her belly, it was the first time since she lived for 20 years that she felt that she was far away from the word "mother". The two words are so close.

Not her mother, but she was going to be a mother.

"That's why time waits for no one. We can't go back to the past, so we can only cherish the present. Chen Ling is not bad, so you're right." Of course, he's right. If Wang Xifeng likes A person who is not enough to trust her for a lifetime, he will definitely let her see clearly, and naturally there will be no such thing as two people getting married and having children now.

Wang Xifeng knows that time flies, but looking back, she finds that it is faster than she thought. In a few years, she will be 30 years old. When she is 40 years old, her son will be [-] years old. I am afraid that she will be a mother-in-law by then. Bar.

"Brother, do you have any plans for the future?" Wang Xifeng knew that Jiang Yan was not someone who would just eat and wait to die. Although he was not short of money, he would definitely not let himself be idle.

"Mr. Cheng is already old. I went to see him yesterday and discussed with him that I plan to continue teaching in the private school, and maybe I can turn the private school into a college. Although I was the number one scholar more than ten years ago, I should still be there. There is some weight, and each student’s year of study is a lot of money.”

"This is indeed a good way." The number one scholar who was more than ten years ago was also the number one scholar. The one that came out only a few years ago will definitely come with some people holding silver. It can teach a few champions.

Just do what you say, Jiang Yan went to a private school to teach, and turned the Wang family private school into an academy, which is completely open to the outside world. Although the entrance exam is still required, it is no longer open to people in the family or recommended by the family as before. Those who come here, but those who can come to take the entrance examination regardless of whether they have connections or not.

Seeing that the academy recruited several students who had never studied before and had no relationship with the Wang family, more people came to sign up. Of course, the admission rate of the academy was very low, but there was still an endless stream of people coming.

This situation has been maintained until the end of summer and early autumn. The college has already had more than 70 students. For a while, Jiang Yan's college has become the place with the strongest academic atmosphere in Jinling City. The young man passed the examination as a scholar, which made the academy even more famous.

But Jiang Yan did not continue to recruit students. Now there are enough students. The youngest is eight years old, and the oldest is only in his 20s. It is not a simple project to make different study plans according to their differences. It is not easy to cultivate these students into talents with a lifetime.

No matter how powerful Jiang Yan is, his energy is limited after all, and he can only do his best in everything.

In the year of Wang Xifeng's 30th birthday, Chen Ling held a three-day feast for her. They are now a couple that everyone in Jinling admires. They married later than other couples, and they are more loving than many couples.

Perhaps it was because the examples of the two of them were so eye-catching that the marriage rate in Jinling City plummeted in the next few years. Many girls were unwilling to get married in their teens, and had to wait until they were seventeen or eighteen.

Although the man wants to get married earlier, the ones who can get engaged are those of the right family. If the woman disagrees and the marriage is caused, he either withdraws or waits.

From these things, Wang Xifeng deeply saw the difference between men and women. Women only want a husband and wife to love and join hands for a lifetime, while men only want to get married early and carry on the family line.

It is said that there are three unfilial things and no offspring is the greatest. These have become the most reasonable sayings for men to force women to have children. It seems that women should marry and have children. Not all women have the same firm attitude as his brother.

Before she got married, she had agreed with Chen Ling that she would not have children before the age of 20. If Wang Xifeng didn't want to have children, she couldn't force her. If she wanted to have a concubine after marriage, she could only divorce.

Not all women are like Zhuo Wenjun, who dare to write poems and sarcasm when her husband wants to marry a concubine after she is old and fading, but even like Zhuo Wenjun, they still can’t separate from Sima Xiangru in the end, After Sima Xiangru said he repented, he accepted him again.

In the end, I had no choice but to say, 'I wish I could be a woman and I will be a man in the next life. '

After thinking about it for a long time, Wang Xifeng made a bold decision, gathered the two men in her life together, and spoke out about the decision.

"Women's academy?" Chen Ling looked at his wife up and down. This woman is not ordinary courageous. "My lady, you want to be a female teacher? Your little knowledge..."

It's not that Chen Ling doesn't believe in Wang Xifeng's ability. She has absolutely nothing to say about management ability, but she is a bit lacking in academics. He wrote the big copy and she wrote the small copy. I'm afraid even the 11-year-old All her sons recited more ancient Chinese than she did.

"Of course it's not that I'm a female teacher, I'm hiring someone to do it, but I can teach you about management and running a shop." Wang Xifeng said with a smile, "I know I'm not accomplished in literature, and I can't compare to you guys. You two, but I don't intend to take the No. [-] Scholar exam, brother, you said that reading is for reason, and after I understand reason, there is no need to study, right?"

Chen Ling looked at Jiang Yan in surprise. He had never talked with Jiang Yan about this issue, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed like something he could say, "Then what is the purpose of your school for women? You also said that women It’s not possible to take the number one scholar exam, so it’s possible that our dynasty can really open up the world and allow women to participate in the imperial examination for the first time.”

Wang Xifeng rolled her eyes at Chen Ling, she understood everything so clearly, this idiot still doesn't understand, I really don't know how he was a Tanhualang back then, if it wasn't for the fact that he never tolerated fraud in the imperial court, she would have doubted it This guy bought a Tanhua Lang back then.

"I think she runs a women's academy to make women sensible." Nowadays, even in rich families, few women study, unless there are scholars in the ancestors, and the family also attaches great importance to reading. Wang Xifeng, who is illiterate in memory, is a living example. .

"My brother still understands me. I have been married to you for ten years and there is no tacit understanding at all. I am really depressed." Wang Xifeng glared at Chen Ling. Chen Ling knew that he didn't understand Wang Xifeng's thoughts enough.

But this is a perfectly normal thing. Although they have known each other for many years, they are definitely not as long as Wang Xifeng and Jiang Yan. They are still biological brothers and sisters, so they naturally have a better understanding.

What Wang Xifeng wants to do, Jiang Yan and Chen Ling are naturally doing their best to help. Private academies also need various procedures. It depends on the fact that the Wang family and the Chen family have been in Jinling City for many years. They are not the only ones in the world to build a women's academy. , but the formalities were completed after a month or so.

At the same time, the academy has been built and can start to accept students. As the dean, Wang Xifeng only put forward two requirements, one is to study one tael of silver a year, and the other is that after entering the gate of the academy, students are not allowed pick a quarrel.

One tael of silver a year for Shuxiu is not much, but it is not a lot. You must know that all the living expenses of ordinary people are only 20 taels of silver a year, and most of them are patriarchal. The beam repair fee of two silver coins.

The reason why Wang Xifeng wanted to set a threshold of one tael of silver was not to make people think that her college was too cheap. She didn't think about making money in the first place, she just wanted to let the women know what the men had learned.

It is the biggest deception in the world that a woman's lack of talent is virtue, because those men know that as long as women learn, they will know the benefits of knowledge.

Wang Xifeng knew that women could not participate in the imperial examination now, and they might even never be able to participate in the imperial examination. She didn't want to change anything. Knowledge just wanted to make women knowledgeable.

The college opened in full swing, but after it opened, there were only three or five students who came to class every day, no more than ten. Wang Xifeng was not discouraged, not only the historical classics, but even she herself explained the management ability, business way.

Gradually, it got better. Of course, the number of students is incomparable with Jiang Yan's academy. Wang Xifeng is already satisfied. In the same sentence, she never intends to change much, but she just does what she wants and has the ability to do it things.

Those things that she wants to do but can't do, she thinks about them and then forgets them, focusing on what she can do.

Many years later, the academy ushered in two female gentlemen, Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai, both of whom were talented and learned women. Because of their vivid and interesting narration, they attracted a group of students to the academy.

Wang Xifeng also asked people to record what they talked about in class, and when they saved enough, they compiled it into a book and distributed it in batches, but they didn't use their real names, and they used "wood" and "gold" respectively as their names. Published under a pseudonym, not under a real name but from a real name.

Lin Ruhai was not affected back then, but Jia Min was overly sad because of her mother's affairs, and left after a few years of depression. Keep a clean mind.

It took a long time for Lin Ruhai and her brother to dispel this idea, but they didn't dare to tell Lin Daiyu about getting married, for fear that she would think they were persecuting her, so she came to this girls' academy to teach.

Both Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu had never been married. His elder brother Xue Pan was sentenced to exile, but died on the way to exile. After Mrs. Xue found out, she died directly. Xue Baochai maintained the few remaining shops of the Xue family alone. .

After the three-year filial piety period, she also had the idea of ​​getting married, but without exception, the other party was greedy for her money. Xue Baochai knew that such a man was absolutely unacceptable. After Wang Xifeng visited her once, she agreed to Wang Xifeng to come to the academy to do marriage. Mrs.

In the academy, both Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu admired each other's talents. Although there were some surprises in their temperaments, gentlemen always insist on common ground while reserving differences.

Because Wang Xifeng opened a women's academy, she changed many people's lives at the same time as she changed her own life.

The three women who had tragic endings all had their own unique splendor this time. Even though there will still be many unsatisfactory things, they are much better than before.
