The return of Fengxi of the Red Chamber
Chapter 50 Ethnology
After the Laba Festival, Jia Lian took advantage of a loophole and took Jia Zhen to study with Jia's family on the sidelines.
The family study of the Jia family was established by the first Dukes Ning and Rong, and it has been more than a hundred years now.It stands to reason that it is attached to the two duke mansions, and it is located in the capital, a land with many talents. In addition, the mansion really supports ethnology very strongly.
Not to mention the remuneration and benefits given by the teachers there throughout the year, the students of the Jia family who study there alone can receive pen, ink and paper money of several taels of silver a month, and lunch can also be used for free in the ethnology.
However, this is the case, the family studies of the Jia family are located in the whole capital, and they are all unknown, not to mention teaching first-class and second-class Jinshi masters. Over the years, they have not even passed the exam .Even though there was a master Jing from the East Mansion who became a Jinshi, and a Jia Zhu from the West Mansion who was admitted to the Imperial Academy, but these two did not study in the ethnology, they were privately invited celebrities to teach and study.
The two sat in the carriage going to the ethnology school, and Jia Lian couldn't help having a headache thinking about the dirty things in the Ningguo Mansion in his previous life.But if the Ningguo Mansion is really like the previous life, except for the two stone lions at the door, and the surroundings are not clean, then their Rongguo Mansion can't be left behind. My son and daughter, The reputation in the future will definitely be affected.
Another one is that because Jia Jing is still there, Jia Zhen and Jia Rong have not completely let themselves go in this life, and they are only messing around in their own house, but they can barely see it.
Therefore, Jia Lian wanted to work hard, not to ask the father and son to be such good people, at least not to cause any scandalous scandals like in the previous life.There is also that Qin Keqing, what kind of identity is it? You also need to check it out in private. The previous life was too muddled, and it was really a waste of life.
Jia Lian was engrossed in her thoughts, but Jia Zhen next to her was a little impatient: "I said Lian's second child, Brother Rong, at this age, will be able to get married in two years. Watching him in class, isn't it a joke to spread the word?"
After hearing what he said, Jia Lian complained from the bottom of his heart, now you know that he is old, and you didn't see him taking care of him for a while when he was young.
However, he was determined to take Jia Zhen to the ethnology study, so he had to persuade him politely: "Brother Zhen, if you ask me to say that Brother Rong is at this age, how much you care about him, he is the one who doesn't listen to my mother." When we were talking. We used to be like him when we were young. Everything we said and did was hated by people, but we couldn’t help it. After all, we were born under your name. After you teach it, you will have it when you go out. Face is not."
Jia Zhen shook her head, sighed, and said, "Why don't I understand what you said, but that bastard just doesn't know how to understand it, and if he doesn't know how to write, he won't be successful. He can marry a wife and have children in this life, and leave a future for our old Jia family." , it doesn’t count that he came to the world for nothing.”
"If you expect him to be like your younger brother, relying on his own ability to win some kind of title, it's better to expect our old man to come back alive from the ground. It's not that I don't teach him, and your sister-in-law is always there. Tell him, the gentleman in this ethnology is his elder, so there is no reason not to take care of him, but the dead wood is hard to carve."
Jia Lian said with a smile when he heard the words: "My good brother, when I was not married, I was no more a jerk than Brother Rong. Now that I have a family, I naturally know how to stand up. Brother Rong is now No matter how old you are, you say this, and it hurts the child to hear it."
"Another thing, it's not my brother who picks your fault. You also have to think about the difficulties between Brother Rong and sister-in-law. We all know that sister-in-law is a virtuous person, but after all, Brother Rong was not her own. Two, now that we have grown up to this age, we all know the reason why children avoid their mothers, and the elder sister-in-law is also embarrassed."
"Again, it has been more than 100 years since it was established to the present. You can't even pass the test of a scholar. Brother, why do you still send Brother Rong in? Eldest Master, he is still Big Brother Zhu in our West Mansion, not all of them are gentlemen hired by ourselves, who really expects this family to learn."
When Jia Zhen heard this, she finally came to her senses, pointed at Jia Lian and scolded with a smile: "Good, you Lian Er! Did you see that our family's studies were not pleasing to the eye, and you took the opportunity to vent your anger? This is taking me as a brother What about the gunmen. Let me tell you, those old men in the ethnology school, although they don’t have any skills, they are the elders of the clan after all, and they are from the grandparents’ generation. Just judging by their age, they all have to be courteous.”
Jia Lian curled her lips, and said as if she respected the old and loved the young: "Politeness is courtesy, but these children in the clan can no longer be handed over to them, and they will be useless in a few years. Brother Zhen, Take a look at our Jia family, no matter whether it is the direct line or the collateral line, is there anyone who can take action now, the Jia family will undoubtedly lose in the long run."
When Jia Zhen heard the words, Ji Lingling shuddered, and she was frightened into a cold sweat in the winter.
He has lived and dreamed and died for so many years, but he has never considered what the future will be, and it will always be a single handed down for three generations in Ningguo Mansion.It’s no different than Rongguo Mansion, where there are the big house and the second house, who are constantly fighting for power and profit. Starting from his father, Jia Jing, the Ning Mansion is just a seedling in ten thousand hectares of land. A Jia Rong, not even a concubine and a concubine.
All Jia Zhen can think of is that her own family is considered wealthy and can always support the children and grandchildren. As for the others, she really doesn't care about everything and is a whole shopkeeper.
Seeing that his face turned pale, Jia Lian continued to persuade him earnestly: "My brother, look at the noble families all over the capital. If there is no one in the family who can support them, wait until the remaining prestige of the old men dissipates. After two generations, they can be eaten alive."
"Since the old lady left, our two families have no longer been able to speak in front of the court and today. At the beginning, I thought about sending Sister Yuan into the palace, so I made this plan? It's a pity..."
Jia Lian stopped talking here, and let Jia Zhen make up the rest. After all, what I figured out by myself is more credible.
Sure enough, Jia Zhen said with resentment on her face: "Yuan girl is such an outstanding girl, De Rongyan has done everything she can, and she is the eldest daughter of the Rongguo Mansion, but she was troubled by that villain, who insisted on blocking her." Qingyun Road. Otherwise, our family will also have a noble lady, how can I use it to behave like I am now, with my tail between my legs."
"It's a good thing that you have my younger brother, who just suddenly rose to prominence. With the help of those things from the Ministry of Industry, you have won the favor of today's master, and now you are also a nobleman. In the future, there will be the title of Uncle She, the son of you and sister Feng, don't have to worry about it." what.
"I said the second child, Brother Rong, you watched him grow up, and he followed you and sister Feng around since he was a child. Don't forget to support and support him in the future. I am useless as an old man. I just hope that you, as uncles and aunts, can't write two Jia characters in one stroke, brother Rong is well, and I can help the following little ones in the future."
Of course Jia Lian nodded in agreement, but he also sounded the alarm to Jia Zhen first: "Of course it's no problem to take Brother Rong with you. You should call me uncle anyway, but Brother Zhen also needs to take care of his son. Let's take care of him today." I went to that ethnology school, if everything is normal, then naturally there is nothing to say, it's just a visit a few years ago."
"But if it's really bad, Big Brother Zhen has to help me. Whether this family is good or bad is related to the future of our Jia family, so it can't be ignored at all. Don't hold back my brother. I looked at it secretly, there are many moths in it, I have to deal with it ruthlessly, they don't know that Prince Ma has three eyes!"
Jia Zhen repeatedly apologized and smiled: "That's natural, that's natural, we are like brothers, how can those people compare to the friendship between us. You can let go of the second child, and I have a brother next to me. Anyway, the old man is now In the gymnasium, I am so happy that I don’t want to go back, I don’t even come back for the New Year, I am the biggest in this Ningfu.”
Jia Lian just laughed, and patted Jia Zhen's arm and said: "I know that big brother Zhen is loyal, and the master in my house doesn't care about things. They are ventilating. As long as it is effective and good for our Jia family, no one can say no to it."
While talking, the clan learned, the two brothers got out of the carriage, told the servants behind them to slow down, and quietly went to the yard.
Coincidentally, it snowed heavily last night, even though the snow had stopped when I got up early, but Jia Dairu was too old to move around lazily.After finishing his breakfast, he lazily walked around and pointed to his grandson, Jia Rui, who was watching everyone reading. He turned around and went home to warm himself by the fire.
This Jia Rui is only a young man of eighteen or nineteen now, but he has already revealed the habits of his previous life.It's not that Jia Dairu just left, when the boys in the school turned upside down, Jia Rui yelled a few times, trying to calm everyone down.
But who listens to him?If there was something going on, I took some fruit snacks, copper plates and silver spoons, and stuffed them into his hands, telling him to be quiet, so as not to disturb the big guys having fun.
Jia Rui got the benefit, so he pretended to be deaf and dumb, and huddled in the corner without saying a word, reading the album.
Seeing that he didn't care about it, the rest of the students chatting and laughing, cuddling and swearing, the whole school was busier than that restaurant, and they wished they could tear down the roof.
When Jia Zhen and Jia Lian arrived, they saw two or three pairs of twelve or thirteen-year-old students hugging each other, touching their waists, chewing their mouths, and talking nonsense.
There is a couple here, they are Jia Rong!
Before Jia Lian could wait, Jia Zhen was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. She pulled out the latch on the door and beat her head and face: "I beat you to death, you shameless bastard! I asked you to study." , what you did is a human thing?"
He was trembling with anger, and Jia Rong was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder were torn apart. He didn't even have the strength to run, and immediately slid off the stool and fell to the ground.The other boy who was with him was handsome and charming, and he wanted to get some benefits from the young master in the Ning Mansion, but he was caught by Jia Zhen and made a fuss in public up.
When Jia Lian was unaware, Jia Zhen rushed up, holding a door latch as thick as an arm.
Jia Rong was also hit twice. Fortunately, although he couldn't walk, he still knew how to protect his head and face, so the two sticks hit his arms.
But Jia Lian could hear clearly, the click just now definitely broke Jia Rong's arm!
He quickly went up to hold Jia Zhen's arm, and shouted at the servant behind him: "You are all dead, just watch your master beat me like this? If Brother Rong really has something good or bad, you people, If one counts as one, what good end can one get?"
After hearing his words, the stunned servants behind him rushed up and surrounded Jia Zhen.They didn't dare to snatch what was in Jia Zhen's hands, and they didn't dare to let him move freely, so they had to use such a stupid way to make Jia Zhen unable to do anything to Jia Rong again.
Jia Lian had enough time to catch her breath, and stepped forward to hit Jia Zhen's wrist with a skillful force, and the door latch fell in response.
"Zhao'er, you take two strong ones, and carry Brother Rong back to the house quickly, be careful not to touch his arms. Laiwang, you quickly go to the doctor, and you want to get the holy hand with severe bruises. Then find someone to report to the East Mansion, so that Grandma You can be prepared, so don't be scared anymore."
Jia Lian ordered his subordinates to hire people to do things, while Jia Zhen was panting with rage: "Doctor, please, I beat him to death for such a bastard! I beat him to death first, then Stretch myself to death, and go downstairs to make amends to his mother and the old man!"
Jia Lian sighed, and helped him to sit aside: "My brother, what are you talking about, Brother Rong and his mother love you and Brother Rong the most, if you see you father and son like this , it’s hard to feel at ease even in the ground.”
Over there, Zhaoer and Laiwang both had winks, and hurriedly carried Jia Rong and ran away, fearing that Jia Zhen would stop him and beat him up.
Jia Zhen covered her face, waved her hands and said nothing.
Jia Lian knew the shock in his heart, so he just asked two young men to watch over him, and stood on the podium with a tiger face.Looking around coldly, the students in the room were already frightened like quails, trembling and daring not to make a sound, lest they would be watched by Jia Lian and Jia Zhen, and they would be beaten up suddenly.
As for Jia Rui, who was in charge of looking after the house, he was so frightened that he urinated when Jia Zhen beat her, and his body smelled foul.
"The family sent you here in the hope that you will study well and make progress, and you will get fame and a future in the future. But look for yourself, what are you doing? Half-grown boy, in two years you will be Talking about your loved ones, and messing around like this, if you don't do any human affairs, you will lose face of my Jia family!"
"Also, what about the masters in this school? The family spends so much money every year to support this group of self-sufficient rice buckets!" Jia Lian cursed, and then said to the boy who was waiting beside him, "Go, take All the elders of the clan are invited here, and I tell them to open their eyes to see what kind of bastards the descendants of our Jia family are!"
As soon as he said this, he meant to make a big fuss. The rest of the boys in the room all came to their senses and began to cry for their father and mother.
Jia Rui is the one who is most afraid, because Jia Dairu is the person in charge of Jia Family Studies, and he has the final say on all affairs here.It is also because of this that their family, old and young, can live in peace and prosperity for these years. Although it is only a collateral line of the Jia family, their life is no worse than that of the direct line, and they can also order slaves and maidservants. of.
But if Jia Lian brought the clan elders over, Jia Dairu's fault of dereliction of duty would not be covered up, and the matter of accepting bribes from students would probably have to be revealed.In this way, not to mention keeping the position of ethnology, my grandfather may have to find out the previous old accounts. According to the viciousness of Jia Lian and his wife, the family property may be wiped out.
Jia Rui wanted to go home and report the news, but he was afraid of Jia Lian's cold face, so he just put on his wet pants and huddled in a corner without making a sound.
Jia Lian had seen him a long time ago, thinking that in his previous life, he was so daring and dared to take Wang Xifeng's idea, Jia Lian felt furious.Because of Jia Lian's extra attention in this life, this Jia Rui has never met Wang Xifeng face to face, but he has never caused any bad things.
But this is a coward, relying on Jia Dairu's little status, he is not afraid of eating and drinking in the Jia family.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jia Lian was going to make a big fuss, and he had to wipe out all the tumors in the ethnology at once.Originally, I was worried that Jia Zhen would be slowing down, but seeing how lost his mind is now, I probably hate him more than myself.After all, Jia Rong is his only son, so if he taught others to spoil him, there is no reason not to vent his anger.
Jia Lian was thinking about something in his heart, but he didn't stop talking. All he said was that the group of teenagers covered their faces and wept non-stop, not knowing whether it was anger or embarrassment.
Half an hour later, a row of carriages stopped in front of the Jia family school.Seven or eight clan elders with white beard and hair trembled into the house with the support of the servants.
One of the oldest ones, took a breath and asked first: "Brother Lian, you sent someone to call us in a hurry, but what's the big deal? And Brother Zhen, this dejected one looks like someone beaten by Shuang. Eggplant, what's wrong?"
This is the oldest clan elder of the Jia family, named Jia Shen, who belongs to the clan of Jia Yuan and Jia Yan, and is the only one alive in their generation.Now the old man is fully 93 years old, and his body is still strong. When the weather is good, he can walk around the street with a cane.
In ancient times, anyone who lived to this age could be regarded as a human being, so the Jia family respected the old man very much.Therefore, this time when Jia Lian wanted to rectify the ethnology, the first thing that came to mind was Jia Zhen, and the second thing that came to mind was this old man. The head of the Jia family was held in the East Mansion, and Jia Shen was very prestigious among the clan elders. , with the support of the two of them, this matter will not be a problem.
Jia Lian took a few steps to support him, and explained in his mouth: "Third Grandpa, it's not a very important matter in such a cold day. How dare we work for you to come here. It's really shameful. Brother Zhen just now I almost fainted from the anger, and beat Brother Rong to death, breaking my arm."
Hearing this, the old man was so startled that he almost lost his grip on the crutch in his hand. He turned around and shouted at Jia Zhen, "Boy Zhen, Brother Rong is your only heir, and the only child of our eldest family in the Jia family. How can I be so cruel when I am an old man!"
Jia Zhen was still angry in her heart, but she didn't dare to take it out on the old man. She just wiped her face and said in a low voice, "You don't know, I don't have the face to say that bastard doesn't behave like a human being. After all, we Jia My family is unlucky, and I have no way to teach my son."
Seeing that he was so frustrated, the old man didn't continue to ask, and followed the strength of Jia Lian's hand, and sat down on a chair next to him.
The other clan elders also did their own work, and Jia Lian ordered someone to bring hot tea: "Third Grandpa, Fifth Uncle, Sixth Uncle, Twelfth Uncle, everyone, drink some tea to warm up your body first, and listen to me slowly."
"This incident is really unfortunate for the family. Brother Zhen and I have nothing to do today, so we just wanted to go to the ethnology school. You know, I got an errand this year, and I have been busy all day. After touching the ground, I finally got some free time at the end of the year, so I just wanted to see the juniors of our Jia family."
When Jia Lian said this, he couldn't help sighing in a low voice, and continued helplessly: "In the past, I only stayed at home and didn't know the hardships of the world outside. Now that I have entered the Ministry of Industry, I know that a single tree is hard to grow into a forest. There are really too few people in our Jia family in the court hall, and there is not even one who can speak, so I am worried."
"I originally thought that I would pick a few good ones from the ethnology and train them first. After two or three years of experience, I would bring them to my side as an arm. After all, brothers who fight tigers, father and son soldiers in battle, a sum of money I can't write two Jia characters, I hope that the whole Jia family will be well."
Hearing this, the old man couldn't help but nodded, and praised Jia Lian with a smile: "Boy Lian is right, we old men are useless, and the future of the Jia family will still depend on the hard work of you juniors." You are a good person, relying on yourself to make a name in front of the present, even if your great-grandfather and grandfather are alive, they must be proud of you."
Jia Lian smiled in embarrassment, and then said with a solemn face: "But who would have thought that when Brother Zhen and I came to this clan school, we didn't even see a gentleman. The students in this school , talking and chatting one by one, bragging and playing. What's more, there are a few others who imitate the tricks in other restaurants and play that fake Fengxuhuang trick, so Brother Zhen will be very angry. I moved my hand."
"Is there such a thing?"
The old man turned his head to stare at Jia Zhen in surprise. Seeing the shame and discomfort on his face, he knew that this must be true. Maybe that kid, Brother Rong, was one of the fake Phoenix.
"Sixth boy, this family study is under the control of your Confucian boy, why is the good school turned into a mess?" The old man thought for a while, and asked a clan elder next to him, "I think I was young when I was young. At that time, let alone going to school, it was impossible to stand outside other people's schools and eavesdrop for a while. These little bastards just don't know how to cherish blessings. They live too many good days and think about How can you spend the day and drink. Let the inheritance left by the ancestors be wiped out quickly."
Hearing the old man's exclamation, Jia Lian nodded thoughtfully, and the others also lowered their heads to reflect.
On the contrary, the sixth uncle of the Jia family had no choice but to bite the bullet and reply: "Third uncle, this school is indeed managed by Dai Confucianism. He was the only one in our generation when he became a scholar. Brother Daihua who went said After all, the Jia family had finally found a scholar, so he was given the work of enlightening the children of the clan, and then handed over to him every year."
The old man didn't say much when he heard the words, he just looked at Jia Lian and Jia Zhen and said, "You two will be the heads of the first and second rooms of our Jia family in the future, and the future of the Jia family depends on you. Tell me, today How do you two want to deal with this?"
Jia Zhen lowered her head and said after a long while: "I have made a lot of trouble today, and I am ashamed. I was not capable in the past, so I will leave it to Lian Er. He is better than me as an older brother."
Hearing Jia Zhen's disheartened words, Jia Lian felt a little embarrassed, and replied with a smile: "Brother Zhen said this, it's not my brother, but my own brother, and you are the eldest, so my younger brother is naturally Listen to you. Although you didn't care about things in the past, you didn't find any problems. Now that you have bumped into it today, and there is Brother Rong among them, you should say something to let the clan elders know your opinion."
Jia Zhen really didn't want to take care of it, but Jia Jing didn't care about the family, even if he was the acting patriarch of the Jia family now, he couldn't be pushed away.
"As Lian Er said, these juniors are the future of our Jia family, and they should not be ignored at all. This matter cannot be let go lightly." Jia Zhen gritted her teeth and said with a grim expression, "Now The students in this room, one by one, dropped out of school and went home, and they will not be allowed to attend classes in the Jia family school in the future. Without receiving the subsidy from the family, the family is not doing business all day long, it is unbearable."
"One more thing, all the gentlemen in this ethnology school have been dismissed, and they have hired good ones outside. We have stayed in this school for a long time, but we have not seen a single gentleman. If it is old and weak Now, if you handed over the message to the clan earlier, who would make it difficult for them, and have to let them manage the school?"
"All the old and the young ones occupy the latrines and don't shit. They just look at us as fools and are easy to deceive. This time I became cruel. It doesn't work to see who's face and affection are, several clan elders and Lian Er testify!"
When Jia Lian heard this, he clapped his hands and sighed: "Good! You are indeed big brother Zhen, who really has the demeanor of an uncle and grandfather! That's how it should be. We are kind. Every year, we give out money and things every year. To produce a few talents is also to show the affection of fellow clansmen."
"But this relationship is not for some people to use for personal gain. This trend in the ethnology must not be a day or two, but until today, before Brother Zhen and I broke up, no student Mr. No, it can be seen that the whole nest is broken!"
Speaking of this, Jia Lian saluted Jia Zhen and said solemnly: "Brother Zhen, I will overstep my younger brother today. Brother Rong is not yet an adult, but he is not young anymore. We can't do this again." You wandered around the house all day long. This time you broke his arm, but after all, you can’t stare at him every day. If it happens again like this time, is it possible to break his arm and leg again?”
Jia Zhen also had no choice. He couldn't discipline his son, and he couldn't bear to discipline Jia Rong. It wasn't enough to have fun on his own, so he couldn't spare enough time to teach Jia Rong.
Hearing what Jia Lian said at this moment, he couldn't help asking: "Then tell me, what should I do with that bastard? I can't beat him to death, and it doesn't make sense. Could it be that I am an old man, but still Do you have to ask him to improve himself and work hard?"
Jia Lian laughed when he heard the words, and said with a smile to the crowd: "Brother Rong was killed by me this time as an example to the monkeys. The eldest grandson of Ning's mansion, if he makes a mistake, he will be punished. Tomorrow, when his arm is healed, I will find someone else." An acquaintance, send him to the Imperial Guard, where the management is strict and the attack is ruthless. He can only go home one day a month, and he will definitely be able to teach Brother Rong well. I just don’t know if Big Brother Zhen will feel sorry for him. ?”
Jia Zhen immediately smiled when she heard the words of the imperial guards: "I have nothing to worry about, I wish he could be controlled by someone. The imperial guards are very good, but they have extremely high requirements for recruiting people. Brother like this, can people want him?"
Jia Lian smiled lightly, waved his hands and said, "I just got the news that the Imperial Guard is going to expand its recruitment, and now it is going to pick out dozens of trustworthy children from the nobles in Beijing. This group of people is not I will be on duty immediately, and I have to wait until the training is complete before I can send it to the present.”
"Although our family is not as good as it used to be, there is no need to choose this loyalty. Brother Rong is the eldest son and grandson of the next generation, and if I give you favors, it's just a training spot for the Imperial Guard, so it's not a problem."
Jia Lian said it lightly, but the elders of the clan were full of longing, that was the training quota for the Imperial Guard!
This imperial guard is the defense force in the palace, and it is the guards directly under the responsibility of defending the present, and it is not under the jurisdiction of anyone else.It can be said that to be selected as a trainer of the Imperial Guard is to have half a foot in the imperial city. As long as you work hard, you will be able to become the people around you today. How can you not let these elders feel elated.
Moreover, the members of the imperial guards had very strict requirements during the initial screening, and it was unimaginable for the members of the Xian family to have a slightly worse character.Now that Jia Rong is the heir of the Ningguo Mansion, of course he has passed the test in the family world. As for his character, he only messed around in the family, and he didn't have any bad reputation in Beijing.
As for the other Jia family members, although they are inferior to Jia Rong in terms of status, their hearts are not big.Even if you can't get into the Imperial Guard, it's good to be able to get into the Imperial City Division. There are those downcast clan elders who don't even dislike the miscellaneous servants in various yamen, as long as they can make a living.Now their own nephews are all grown up, and they have no ability, so they can only live by their direct descendants.
And Jia Lian's generous manner, how can he not make everyone happy, now that he can support Jia Rong generously, he may support his own children and grandchildren in the future.As the only person with real power in the Jia family, he has won the title of second-class light car captain by virtue of his own ability. These clan elders really trust Jia Lian.
With this bait hanging on, none of Jia Lian and Jia Zhen objected to the reform of ethnology, and they both agreed with it.
So when Jia Dairu waited at home and finally couldn't bear it anymore and came to the school to ask Jia Rui to go home for dinner, he found that his errand was gone.The grandson who was supposed to help watch the class was also locked in the firewood room by Jia Zhen, saying that she wanted to find out how much bribes he had received from the students.
Jia Dairu was in his 60s, his middle-aged son and daughter-in-law were all dead, and his wife and his wife all pointed to Jia Rui to live. Now that he knew that his grandson was so unlucky, he couldn't catch his breath and almost passed out.
Fortunately, Jia Lian was there at the time, supported him with a stride, and pressed the acupuncture points on his body calmly, so nothing happened.
Jia Lian was really tired of this old man in his heart, since he regarded his grandson as his darling, why didn't he educate him so that he would know propriety, righteousness and shame?Now that he knows that he has no one to rely on and can only rely on Jia's family to live, why not take care of his family and make a name for himself?
It's nothing more than relying on his old age, the heads of the Ningrong family don't care about their affairs, and Jia Lian, the only one who has something to do, won't come to the ethnology easily, so he is here to rely on the old to sell the old.
Knowing that although Jia Lian's status is high, his seniority is low after all. Before Jia Dairu could speak, Mr. Jia Shen scolded: "Dairu boy, we all thought you were a good person before, so we can rest assured that we will entrust the ethnology to you. But you Look, what a good child has been taught by you!"
"Your conduct is bad, you don't want to make progress, and you don't think about anything good all day long! You are Mr. Jia, and you have the bundle of repairs given by Jia's family, but this morning has passed. We old things, even the hem of your clothes I haven't even seen each other! If it wasn't for your precious grandson to eat, you wouldn't plan to come and see it today, and let these half-children make a fuss in the school?"
Several other clan elders also yelled at him one after another. Jia Dairu, who had a good face, blushed when he said it, and wished he could find a crack to get in. How dare he argue with Jia Lian.
The sixth uncle of the Jia family looked at him coldly, and said disappointedly: "The sage books you have read for most of your life have been read into the stomach of a dog! The face of our sixth room has also been shamed by you and your precious grandson." It's clean!"
Jia Dairu could barely bear it when he heard the elders scolding him, but there was nothing wrong with Jia Rui in his heart.Seeing the sixth uncle talking like this now, he immediately became dissatisfied, and argued in a low voice: "Brother, even if I did something wrong, you and the family will be beaten and punished, I will admit it. But my brother Rui is obedient and obedient. He hasn't done anything wrong at such a young age, he should at least call you Uncle, why bother to call him a child like that."
The Sixth Uncle was originally angry at Jia Dairu and his grandfather and grandson for their poor behavior, which ruined Liufang's reputation, but now he heard him defending Jia Rui with eloquence, and he was almost turned upside down.
The sixth uncle, who was furious, raised his hand and smashed a cup at Jia Dairu's feet: "You bastard, you actually talk to my brother like this! You are so old, and you still talk like a child without thinking, Brother Rui is honest and obedient? He's even greedy for the dim sum and loose change of these boys in the ethnology, you still have the face to say that he is honest and obedient!"
If it was said that Jia Dairu was ashamed and angry just now, it is indeed like a thunderbolt now, with an unbelievable expression on his face.Gein really believed in Jia Rui's character, and he couldn't accept it at all. The person sixth uncle said just now was his precious grandson!
But whether Jia Dairu believed it or not, someone had already listed Jia Rui's bad deeds, and even laid out all the evidence. Anyone who is not blind can see clearly at a glance.
The impact of this incident on Jia Dairu was a hundred times and a thousand times more severe than losing the management rights of the school. He was obviously aged by more than ten years, and his energy and energy were scattered.
Seeing his behavior, the sixth uncle couldn't help but sarcastically said: "You are a typical example of being upright and crooked. As the master of the Jia family and the elder of the Jia family's children, you are so negligent of your duties. Treat the future of ethnology, the future of these children as a trifling matter! As your grandson, Jia Rui, he is influenced by what he hears and sees every day, how can he have a good character when he learns from others?"
Jia Dairu was bewildered, and murmured: "I was wrong? Is it true that I didn't teach Rui Geer well? But I recite classics for him every day, and explain the truth to him sooner or later. How could he learn badly?"
Jia Lian was really tired of watching from the side, and couldn't help but said: "You have always claimed to be familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, how can you not have heard of the phrase 'If you are upright, you will follow without orders; if you are not upright, you will not be able to do so'" old saying?"
Mr. Jia Shen nodded at the side, and said in a deep voice: "Young Lian's words are reasonable. The so-called precepts and deeds, no matter how righteous you are, what you are doing is just a dog's business. No wonder that kid Rui Geer didn't learn well. Yes, it was broken from the root, how can anyone else blame it?"
Jia Dairu didn't speak anymore, he just sat slumped on the chair like a marionette lost his mind and said nothing.
The elders of the Jia family didn't bother to pay attention to him, so they found two strong servants, sent him and Jia Rui home, and it was over.As for the petty gain that Jia Rui was greedy for, plus the things that Jia Dairu collected during the festivals, all of them would be converted into silver coins, and those who found the owner would be returned to the original owner.
This is also due to Jia Dairu's age. He has worked hard in the Jia family school for most of his life.
The family study of the Jia family was established by the first Dukes Ning and Rong, and it has been more than a hundred years now.It stands to reason that it is attached to the two duke mansions, and it is located in the capital, a land with many talents. In addition, the mansion really supports ethnology very strongly.
Not to mention the remuneration and benefits given by the teachers there throughout the year, the students of the Jia family who study there alone can receive pen, ink and paper money of several taels of silver a month, and lunch can also be used for free in the ethnology.
However, this is the case, the family studies of the Jia family are located in the whole capital, and they are all unknown, not to mention teaching first-class and second-class Jinshi masters. Over the years, they have not even passed the exam .Even though there was a master Jing from the East Mansion who became a Jinshi, and a Jia Zhu from the West Mansion who was admitted to the Imperial Academy, but these two did not study in the ethnology, they were privately invited celebrities to teach and study.
The two sat in the carriage going to the ethnology school, and Jia Lian couldn't help having a headache thinking about the dirty things in the Ningguo Mansion in his previous life.But if the Ningguo Mansion is really like the previous life, except for the two stone lions at the door, and the surroundings are not clean, then their Rongguo Mansion can't be left behind. My son and daughter, The reputation in the future will definitely be affected.
Another one is that because Jia Jing is still there, Jia Zhen and Jia Rong have not completely let themselves go in this life, and they are only messing around in their own house, but they can barely see it.
Therefore, Jia Lian wanted to work hard, not to ask the father and son to be such good people, at least not to cause any scandalous scandals like in the previous life.There is also that Qin Keqing, what kind of identity is it? You also need to check it out in private. The previous life was too muddled, and it was really a waste of life.
Jia Lian was engrossed in her thoughts, but Jia Zhen next to her was a little impatient: "I said Lian's second child, Brother Rong, at this age, will be able to get married in two years. Watching him in class, isn't it a joke to spread the word?"
After hearing what he said, Jia Lian complained from the bottom of his heart, now you know that he is old, and you didn't see him taking care of him for a while when he was young.
However, he was determined to take Jia Zhen to the ethnology study, so he had to persuade him politely: "Brother Zhen, if you ask me to say that Brother Rong is at this age, how much you care about him, he is the one who doesn't listen to my mother." When we were talking. We used to be like him when we were young. Everything we said and did was hated by people, but we couldn’t help it. After all, we were born under your name. After you teach it, you will have it when you go out. Face is not."
Jia Zhen shook her head, sighed, and said, "Why don't I understand what you said, but that bastard just doesn't know how to understand it, and if he doesn't know how to write, he won't be successful. He can marry a wife and have children in this life, and leave a future for our old Jia family." , it doesn’t count that he came to the world for nothing.”
"If you expect him to be like your younger brother, relying on his own ability to win some kind of title, it's better to expect our old man to come back alive from the ground. It's not that I don't teach him, and your sister-in-law is always there. Tell him, the gentleman in this ethnology is his elder, so there is no reason not to take care of him, but the dead wood is hard to carve."
Jia Lian said with a smile when he heard the words: "My good brother, when I was not married, I was no more a jerk than Brother Rong. Now that I have a family, I naturally know how to stand up. Brother Rong is now No matter how old you are, you say this, and it hurts the child to hear it."
"Another thing, it's not my brother who picks your fault. You also have to think about the difficulties between Brother Rong and sister-in-law. We all know that sister-in-law is a virtuous person, but after all, Brother Rong was not her own. Two, now that we have grown up to this age, we all know the reason why children avoid their mothers, and the elder sister-in-law is also embarrassed."
"Again, it has been more than 100 years since it was established to the present. You can't even pass the test of a scholar. Brother, why do you still send Brother Rong in? Eldest Master, he is still Big Brother Zhu in our West Mansion, not all of them are gentlemen hired by ourselves, who really expects this family to learn."
When Jia Zhen heard this, she finally came to her senses, pointed at Jia Lian and scolded with a smile: "Good, you Lian Er! Did you see that our family's studies were not pleasing to the eye, and you took the opportunity to vent your anger? This is taking me as a brother What about the gunmen. Let me tell you, those old men in the ethnology school, although they don’t have any skills, they are the elders of the clan after all, and they are from the grandparents’ generation. Just judging by their age, they all have to be courteous.”
Jia Lian curled her lips, and said as if she respected the old and loved the young: "Politeness is courtesy, but these children in the clan can no longer be handed over to them, and they will be useless in a few years. Brother Zhen, Take a look at our Jia family, no matter whether it is the direct line or the collateral line, is there anyone who can take action now, the Jia family will undoubtedly lose in the long run."
When Jia Zhen heard the words, Ji Lingling shuddered, and she was frightened into a cold sweat in the winter.
He has lived and dreamed and died for so many years, but he has never considered what the future will be, and it will always be a single handed down for three generations in Ningguo Mansion.It’s no different than Rongguo Mansion, where there are the big house and the second house, who are constantly fighting for power and profit. Starting from his father, Jia Jing, the Ning Mansion is just a seedling in ten thousand hectares of land. A Jia Rong, not even a concubine and a concubine.
All Jia Zhen can think of is that her own family is considered wealthy and can always support the children and grandchildren. As for the others, she really doesn't care about everything and is a whole shopkeeper.
Seeing that his face turned pale, Jia Lian continued to persuade him earnestly: "My brother, look at the noble families all over the capital. If there is no one in the family who can support them, wait until the remaining prestige of the old men dissipates. After two generations, they can be eaten alive."
"Since the old lady left, our two families have no longer been able to speak in front of the court and today. At the beginning, I thought about sending Sister Yuan into the palace, so I made this plan? It's a pity..."
Jia Lian stopped talking here, and let Jia Zhen make up the rest. After all, what I figured out by myself is more credible.
Sure enough, Jia Zhen said with resentment on her face: "Yuan girl is such an outstanding girl, De Rongyan has done everything she can, and she is the eldest daughter of the Rongguo Mansion, but she was troubled by that villain, who insisted on blocking her." Qingyun Road. Otherwise, our family will also have a noble lady, how can I use it to behave like I am now, with my tail between my legs."
"It's a good thing that you have my younger brother, who just suddenly rose to prominence. With the help of those things from the Ministry of Industry, you have won the favor of today's master, and now you are also a nobleman. In the future, there will be the title of Uncle She, the son of you and sister Feng, don't have to worry about it." what.
"I said the second child, Brother Rong, you watched him grow up, and he followed you and sister Feng around since he was a child. Don't forget to support and support him in the future. I am useless as an old man. I just hope that you, as uncles and aunts, can't write two Jia characters in one stroke, brother Rong is well, and I can help the following little ones in the future."
Of course Jia Lian nodded in agreement, but he also sounded the alarm to Jia Zhen first: "Of course it's no problem to take Brother Rong with you. You should call me uncle anyway, but Brother Zhen also needs to take care of his son. Let's take care of him today." I went to that ethnology school, if everything is normal, then naturally there is nothing to say, it's just a visit a few years ago."
"But if it's really bad, Big Brother Zhen has to help me. Whether this family is good or bad is related to the future of our Jia family, so it can't be ignored at all. Don't hold back my brother. I looked at it secretly, there are many moths in it, I have to deal with it ruthlessly, they don't know that Prince Ma has three eyes!"
Jia Zhen repeatedly apologized and smiled: "That's natural, that's natural, we are like brothers, how can those people compare to the friendship between us. You can let go of the second child, and I have a brother next to me. Anyway, the old man is now In the gymnasium, I am so happy that I don’t want to go back, I don’t even come back for the New Year, I am the biggest in this Ningfu.”
Jia Lian just laughed, and patted Jia Zhen's arm and said: "I know that big brother Zhen is loyal, and the master in my house doesn't care about things. They are ventilating. As long as it is effective and good for our Jia family, no one can say no to it."
While talking, the clan learned, the two brothers got out of the carriage, told the servants behind them to slow down, and quietly went to the yard.
Coincidentally, it snowed heavily last night, even though the snow had stopped when I got up early, but Jia Dairu was too old to move around lazily.After finishing his breakfast, he lazily walked around and pointed to his grandson, Jia Rui, who was watching everyone reading. He turned around and went home to warm himself by the fire.
This Jia Rui is only a young man of eighteen or nineteen now, but he has already revealed the habits of his previous life.It's not that Jia Dairu just left, when the boys in the school turned upside down, Jia Rui yelled a few times, trying to calm everyone down.
But who listens to him?If there was something going on, I took some fruit snacks, copper plates and silver spoons, and stuffed them into his hands, telling him to be quiet, so as not to disturb the big guys having fun.
Jia Rui got the benefit, so he pretended to be deaf and dumb, and huddled in the corner without saying a word, reading the album.
Seeing that he didn't care about it, the rest of the students chatting and laughing, cuddling and swearing, the whole school was busier than that restaurant, and they wished they could tear down the roof.
When Jia Zhen and Jia Lian arrived, they saw two or three pairs of twelve or thirteen-year-old students hugging each other, touching their waists, chewing their mouths, and talking nonsense.
There is a couple here, they are Jia Rong!
Before Jia Lian could wait, Jia Zhen was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. She pulled out the latch on the door and beat her head and face: "I beat you to death, you shameless bastard! I asked you to study." , what you did is a human thing?"
He was trembling with anger, and Jia Rong was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder were torn apart. He didn't even have the strength to run, and immediately slid off the stool and fell to the ground.The other boy who was with him was handsome and charming, and he wanted to get some benefits from the young master in the Ning Mansion, but he was caught by Jia Zhen and made a fuss in public up.
When Jia Lian was unaware, Jia Zhen rushed up, holding a door latch as thick as an arm.
Jia Rong was also hit twice. Fortunately, although he couldn't walk, he still knew how to protect his head and face, so the two sticks hit his arms.
But Jia Lian could hear clearly, the click just now definitely broke Jia Rong's arm!
He quickly went up to hold Jia Zhen's arm, and shouted at the servant behind him: "You are all dead, just watch your master beat me like this? If Brother Rong really has something good or bad, you people, If one counts as one, what good end can one get?"
After hearing his words, the stunned servants behind him rushed up and surrounded Jia Zhen.They didn't dare to snatch what was in Jia Zhen's hands, and they didn't dare to let him move freely, so they had to use such a stupid way to make Jia Zhen unable to do anything to Jia Rong again.
Jia Lian had enough time to catch her breath, and stepped forward to hit Jia Zhen's wrist with a skillful force, and the door latch fell in response.
"Zhao'er, you take two strong ones, and carry Brother Rong back to the house quickly, be careful not to touch his arms. Laiwang, you quickly go to the doctor, and you want to get the holy hand with severe bruises. Then find someone to report to the East Mansion, so that Grandma You can be prepared, so don't be scared anymore."
Jia Lian ordered his subordinates to hire people to do things, while Jia Zhen was panting with rage: "Doctor, please, I beat him to death for such a bastard! I beat him to death first, then Stretch myself to death, and go downstairs to make amends to his mother and the old man!"
Jia Lian sighed, and helped him to sit aside: "My brother, what are you talking about, Brother Rong and his mother love you and Brother Rong the most, if you see you father and son like this , it’s hard to feel at ease even in the ground.”
Over there, Zhaoer and Laiwang both had winks, and hurriedly carried Jia Rong and ran away, fearing that Jia Zhen would stop him and beat him up.
Jia Zhen covered her face, waved her hands and said nothing.
Jia Lian knew the shock in his heart, so he just asked two young men to watch over him, and stood on the podium with a tiger face.Looking around coldly, the students in the room were already frightened like quails, trembling and daring not to make a sound, lest they would be watched by Jia Lian and Jia Zhen, and they would be beaten up suddenly.
As for Jia Rui, who was in charge of looking after the house, he was so frightened that he urinated when Jia Zhen beat her, and his body smelled foul.
"The family sent you here in the hope that you will study well and make progress, and you will get fame and a future in the future. But look for yourself, what are you doing? Half-grown boy, in two years you will be Talking about your loved ones, and messing around like this, if you don't do any human affairs, you will lose face of my Jia family!"
"Also, what about the masters in this school? The family spends so much money every year to support this group of self-sufficient rice buckets!" Jia Lian cursed, and then said to the boy who was waiting beside him, "Go, take All the elders of the clan are invited here, and I tell them to open their eyes to see what kind of bastards the descendants of our Jia family are!"
As soon as he said this, he meant to make a big fuss. The rest of the boys in the room all came to their senses and began to cry for their father and mother.
Jia Rui is the one who is most afraid, because Jia Dairu is the person in charge of Jia Family Studies, and he has the final say on all affairs here.It is also because of this that their family, old and young, can live in peace and prosperity for these years. Although it is only a collateral line of the Jia family, their life is no worse than that of the direct line, and they can also order slaves and maidservants. of.
But if Jia Lian brought the clan elders over, Jia Dairu's fault of dereliction of duty would not be covered up, and the matter of accepting bribes from students would probably have to be revealed.In this way, not to mention keeping the position of ethnology, my grandfather may have to find out the previous old accounts. According to the viciousness of Jia Lian and his wife, the family property may be wiped out.
Jia Rui wanted to go home and report the news, but he was afraid of Jia Lian's cold face, so he just put on his wet pants and huddled in a corner without making a sound.
Jia Lian had seen him a long time ago, thinking that in his previous life, he was so daring and dared to take Wang Xifeng's idea, Jia Lian felt furious.Because of Jia Lian's extra attention in this life, this Jia Rui has never met Wang Xifeng face to face, but he has never caused any bad things.
But this is a coward, relying on Jia Dairu's little status, he is not afraid of eating and drinking in the Jia family.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jia Lian was going to make a big fuss, and he had to wipe out all the tumors in the ethnology at once.Originally, I was worried that Jia Zhen would be slowing down, but seeing how lost his mind is now, I probably hate him more than myself.After all, Jia Rong is his only son, so if he taught others to spoil him, there is no reason not to vent his anger.
Jia Lian was thinking about something in his heart, but he didn't stop talking. All he said was that the group of teenagers covered their faces and wept non-stop, not knowing whether it was anger or embarrassment.
Half an hour later, a row of carriages stopped in front of the Jia family school.Seven or eight clan elders with white beard and hair trembled into the house with the support of the servants.
One of the oldest ones, took a breath and asked first: "Brother Lian, you sent someone to call us in a hurry, but what's the big deal? And Brother Zhen, this dejected one looks like someone beaten by Shuang. Eggplant, what's wrong?"
This is the oldest clan elder of the Jia family, named Jia Shen, who belongs to the clan of Jia Yuan and Jia Yan, and is the only one alive in their generation.Now the old man is fully 93 years old, and his body is still strong. When the weather is good, he can walk around the street with a cane.
In ancient times, anyone who lived to this age could be regarded as a human being, so the Jia family respected the old man very much.Therefore, this time when Jia Lian wanted to rectify the ethnology, the first thing that came to mind was Jia Zhen, and the second thing that came to mind was this old man. The head of the Jia family was held in the East Mansion, and Jia Shen was very prestigious among the clan elders. , with the support of the two of them, this matter will not be a problem.
Jia Lian took a few steps to support him, and explained in his mouth: "Third Grandpa, it's not a very important matter in such a cold day. How dare we work for you to come here. It's really shameful. Brother Zhen just now I almost fainted from the anger, and beat Brother Rong to death, breaking my arm."
Hearing this, the old man was so startled that he almost lost his grip on the crutch in his hand. He turned around and shouted at Jia Zhen, "Boy Zhen, Brother Rong is your only heir, and the only child of our eldest family in the Jia family. How can I be so cruel when I am an old man!"
Jia Zhen was still angry in her heart, but she didn't dare to take it out on the old man. She just wiped her face and said in a low voice, "You don't know, I don't have the face to say that bastard doesn't behave like a human being. After all, we Jia My family is unlucky, and I have no way to teach my son."
Seeing that he was so frustrated, the old man didn't continue to ask, and followed the strength of Jia Lian's hand, and sat down on a chair next to him.
The other clan elders also did their own work, and Jia Lian ordered someone to bring hot tea: "Third Grandpa, Fifth Uncle, Sixth Uncle, Twelfth Uncle, everyone, drink some tea to warm up your body first, and listen to me slowly."
"This incident is really unfortunate for the family. Brother Zhen and I have nothing to do today, so we just wanted to go to the ethnology school. You know, I got an errand this year, and I have been busy all day. After touching the ground, I finally got some free time at the end of the year, so I just wanted to see the juniors of our Jia family."
When Jia Lian said this, he couldn't help sighing in a low voice, and continued helplessly: "In the past, I only stayed at home and didn't know the hardships of the world outside. Now that I have entered the Ministry of Industry, I know that a single tree is hard to grow into a forest. There are really too few people in our Jia family in the court hall, and there is not even one who can speak, so I am worried."
"I originally thought that I would pick a few good ones from the ethnology and train them first. After two or three years of experience, I would bring them to my side as an arm. After all, brothers who fight tigers, father and son soldiers in battle, a sum of money I can't write two Jia characters, I hope that the whole Jia family will be well."
Hearing this, the old man couldn't help but nodded, and praised Jia Lian with a smile: "Boy Lian is right, we old men are useless, and the future of the Jia family will still depend on the hard work of you juniors." You are a good person, relying on yourself to make a name in front of the present, even if your great-grandfather and grandfather are alive, they must be proud of you."
Jia Lian smiled in embarrassment, and then said with a solemn face: "But who would have thought that when Brother Zhen and I came to this clan school, we didn't even see a gentleman. The students in this school , talking and chatting one by one, bragging and playing. What's more, there are a few others who imitate the tricks in other restaurants and play that fake Fengxuhuang trick, so Brother Zhen will be very angry. I moved my hand."
"Is there such a thing?"
The old man turned his head to stare at Jia Zhen in surprise. Seeing the shame and discomfort on his face, he knew that this must be true. Maybe that kid, Brother Rong, was one of the fake Phoenix.
"Sixth boy, this family study is under the control of your Confucian boy, why is the good school turned into a mess?" The old man thought for a while, and asked a clan elder next to him, "I think I was young when I was young. At that time, let alone going to school, it was impossible to stand outside other people's schools and eavesdrop for a while. These little bastards just don't know how to cherish blessings. They live too many good days and think about How can you spend the day and drink. Let the inheritance left by the ancestors be wiped out quickly."
Hearing the old man's exclamation, Jia Lian nodded thoughtfully, and the others also lowered their heads to reflect.
On the contrary, the sixth uncle of the Jia family had no choice but to bite the bullet and reply: "Third uncle, this school is indeed managed by Dai Confucianism. He was the only one in our generation when he became a scholar. Brother Daihua who went said After all, the Jia family had finally found a scholar, so he was given the work of enlightening the children of the clan, and then handed over to him every year."
The old man didn't say much when he heard the words, he just looked at Jia Lian and Jia Zhen and said, "You two will be the heads of the first and second rooms of our Jia family in the future, and the future of the Jia family depends on you. Tell me, today How do you two want to deal with this?"
Jia Zhen lowered her head and said after a long while: "I have made a lot of trouble today, and I am ashamed. I was not capable in the past, so I will leave it to Lian Er. He is better than me as an older brother."
Hearing Jia Zhen's disheartened words, Jia Lian felt a little embarrassed, and replied with a smile: "Brother Zhen said this, it's not my brother, but my own brother, and you are the eldest, so my younger brother is naturally Listen to you. Although you didn't care about things in the past, you didn't find any problems. Now that you have bumped into it today, and there is Brother Rong among them, you should say something to let the clan elders know your opinion."
Jia Zhen really didn't want to take care of it, but Jia Jing didn't care about the family, even if he was the acting patriarch of the Jia family now, he couldn't be pushed away.
"As Lian Er said, these juniors are the future of our Jia family, and they should not be ignored at all. This matter cannot be let go lightly." Jia Zhen gritted her teeth and said with a grim expression, "Now The students in this room, one by one, dropped out of school and went home, and they will not be allowed to attend classes in the Jia family school in the future. Without receiving the subsidy from the family, the family is not doing business all day long, it is unbearable."
"One more thing, all the gentlemen in this ethnology school have been dismissed, and they have hired good ones outside. We have stayed in this school for a long time, but we have not seen a single gentleman. If it is old and weak Now, if you handed over the message to the clan earlier, who would make it difficult for them, and have to let them manage the school?"
"All the old and the young ones occupy the latrines and don't shit. They just look at us as fools and are easy to deceive. This time I became cruel. It doesn't work to see who's face and affection are, several clan elders and Lian Er testify!"
When Jia Lian heard this, he clapped his hands and sighed: "Good! You are indeed big brother Zhen, who really has the demeanor of an uncle and grandfather! That's how it should be. We are kind. Every year, we give out money and things every year. To produce a few talents is also to show the affection of fellow clansmen."
"But this relationship is not for some people to use for personal gain. This trend in the ethnology must not be a day or two, but until today, before Brother Zhen and I broke up, no student Mr. No, it can be seen that the whole nest is broken!"
Speaking of this, Jia Lian saluted Jia Zhen and said solemnly: "Brother Zhen, I will overstep my younger brother today. Brother Rong is not yet an adult, but he is not young anymore. We can't do this again." You wandered around the house all day long. This time you broke his arm, but after all, you can’t stare at him every day. If it happens again like this time, is it possible to break his arm and leg again?”
Jia Zhen also had no choice. He couldn't discipline his son, and he couldn't bear to discipline Jia Rong. It wasn't enough to have fun on his own, so he couldn't spare enough time to teach Jia Rong.
Hearing what Jia Lian said at this moment, he couldn't help asking: "Then tell me, what should I do with that bastard? I can't beat him to death, and it doesn't make sense. Could it be that I am an old man, but still Do you have to ask him to improve himself and work hard?"
Jia Lian laughed when he heard the words, and said with a smile to the crowd: "Brother Rong was killed by me this time as an example to the monkeys. The eldest grandson of Ning's mansion, if he makes a mistake, he will be punished. Tomorrow, when his arm is healed, I will find someone else." An acquaintance, send him to the Imperial Guard, where the management is strict and the attack is ruthless. He can only go home one day a month, and he will definitely be able to teach Brother Rong well. I just don’t know if Big Brother Zhen will feel sorry for him. ?”
Jia Zhen immediately smiled when she heard the words of the imperial guards: "I have nothing to worry about, I wish he could be controlled by someone. The imperial guards are very good, but they have extremely high requirements for recruiting people. Brother like this, can people want him?"
Jia Lian smiled lightly, waved his hands and said, "I just got the news that the Imperial Guard is going to expand its recruitment, and now it is going to pick out dozens of trustworthy children from the nobles in Beijing. This group of people is not I will be on duty immediately, and I have to wait until the training is complete before I can send it to the present.”
"Although our family is not as good as it used to be, there is no need to choose this loyalty. Brother Rong is the eldest son and grandson of the next generation, and if I give you favors, it's just a training spot for the Imperial Guard, so it's not a problem."
Jia Lian said it lightly, but the elders of the clan were full of longing, that was the training quota for the Imperial Guard!
This imperial guard is the defense force in the palace, and it is the guards directly under the responsibility of defending the present, and it is not under the jurisdiction of anyone else.It can be said that to be selected as a trainer of the Imperial Guard is to have half a foot in the imperial city. As long as you work hard, you will be able to become the people around you today. How can you not let these elders feel elated.
Moreover, the members of the imperial guards had very strict requirements during the initial screening, and it was unimaginable for the members of the Xian family to have a slightly worse character.Now that Jia Rong is the heir of the Ningguo Mansion, of course he has passed the test in the family world. As for his character, he only messed around in the family, and he didn't have any bad reputation in Beijing.
As for the other Jia family members, although they are inferior to Jia Rong in terms of status, their hearts are not big.Even if you can't get into the Imperial Guard, it's good to be able to get into the Imperial City Division. There are those downcast clan elders who don't even dislike the miscellaneous servants in various yamen, as long as they can make a living.Now their own nephews are all grown up, and they have no ability, so they can only live by their direct descendants.
And Jia Lian's generous manner, how can he not make everyone happy, now that he can support Jia Rong generously, he may support his own children and grandchildren in the future.As the only person with real power in the Jia family, he has won the title of second-class light car captain by virtue of his own ability. These clan elders really trust Jia Lian.
With this bait hanging on, none of Jia Lian and Jia Zhen objected to the reform of ethnology, and they both agreed with it.
So when Jia Dairu waited at home and finally couldn't bear it anymore and came to the school to ask Jia Rui to go home for dinner, he found that his errand was gone.The grandson who was supposed to help watch the class was also locked in the firewood room by Jia Zhen, saying that she wanted to find out how much bribes he had received from the students.
Jia Dairu was in his 60s, his middle-aged son and daughter-in-law were all dead, and his wife and his wife all pointed to Jia Rui to live. Now that he knew that his grandson was so unlucky, he couldn't catch his breath and almost passed out.
Fortunately, Jia Lian was there at the time, supported him with a stride, and pressed the acupuncture points on his body calmly, so nothing happened.
Jia Lian was really tired of this old man in his heart, since he regarded his grandson as his darling, why didn't he educate him so that he would know propriety, righteousness and shame?Now that he knows that he has no one to rely on and can only rely on Jia's family to live, why not take care of his family and make a name for himself?
It's nothing more than relying on his old age, the heads of the Ningrong family don't care about their affairs, and Jia Lian, the only one who has something to do, won't come to the ethnology easily, so he is here to rely on the old to sell the old.
Knowing that although Jia Lian's status is high, his seniority is low after all. Before Jia Dairu could speak, Mr. Jia Shen scolded: "Dairu boy, we all thought you were a good person before, so we can rest assured that we will entrust the ethnology to you. But you Look, what a good child has been taught by you!"
"Your conduct is bad, you don't want to make progress, and you don't think about anything good all day long! You are Mr. Jia, and you have the bundle of repairs given by Jia's family, but this morning has passed. We old things, even the hem of your clothes I haven't even seen each other! If it wasn't for your precious grandson to eat, you wouldn't plan to come and see it today, and let these half-children make a fuss in the school?"
Several other clan elders also yelled at him one after another. Jia Dairu, who had a good face, blushed when he said it, and wished he could find a crack to get in. How dare he argue with Jia Lian.
The sixth uncle of the Jia family looked at him coldly, and said disappointedly: "The sage books you have read for most of your life have been read into the stomach of a dog! The face of our sixth room has also been shamed by you and your precious grandson." It's clean!"
Jia Dairu could barely bear it when he heard the elders scolding him, but there was nothing wrong with Jia Rui in his heart.Seeing the sixth uncle talking like this now, he immediately became dissatisfied, and argued in a low voice: "Brother, even if I did something wrong, you and the family will be beaten and punished, I will admit it. But my brother Rui is obedient and obedient. He hasn't done anything wrong at such a young age, he should at least call you Uncle, why bother to call him a child like that."
The Sixth Uncle was originally angry at Jia Dairu and his grandfather and grandson for their poor behavior, which ruined Liufang's reputation, but now he heard him defending Jia Rui with eloquence, and he was almost turned upside down.
The sixth uncle, who was furious, raised his hand and smashed a cup at Jia Dairu's feet: "You bastard, you actually talk to my brother like this! You are so old, and you still talk like a child without thinking, Brother Rui is honest and obedient? He's even greedy for the dim sum and loose change of these boys in the ethnology, you still have the face to say that he is honest and obedient!"
If it was said that Jia Dairu was ashamed and angry just now, it is indeed like a thunderbolt now, with an unbelievable expression on his face.Gein really believed in Jia Rui's character, and he couldn't accept it at all. The person sixth uncle said just now was his precious grandson!
But whether Jia Dairu believed it or not, someone had already listed Jia Rui's bad deeds, and even laid out all the evidence. Anyone who is not blind can see clearly at a glance.
The impact of this incident on Jia Dairu was a hundred times and a thousand times more severe than losing the management rights of the school. He was obviously aged by more than ten years, and his energy and energy were scattered.
Seeing his behavior, the sixth uncle couldn't help but sarcastically said: "You are a typical example of being upright and crooked. As the master of the Jia family and the elder of the Jia family's children, you are so negligent of your duties. Treat the future of ethnology, the future of these children as a trifling matter! As your grandson, Jia Rui, he is influenced by what he hears and sees every day, how can he have a good character when he learns from others?"
Jia Dairu was bewildered, and murmured: "I was wrong? Is it true that I didn't teach Rui Geer well? But I recite classics for him every day, and explain the truth to him sooner or later. How could he learn badly?"
Jia Lian was really tired of watching from the side, and couldn't help but said: "You have always claimed to be familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, how can you not have heard of the phrase 'If you are upright, you will follow without orders; if you are not upright, you will not be able to do so'" old saying?"
Mr. Jia Shen nodded at the side, and said in a deep voice: "Young Lian's words are reasonable. The so-called precepts and deeds, no matter how righteous you are, what you are doing is just a dog's business. No wonder that kid Rui Geer didn't learn well. Yes, it was broken from the root, how can anyone else blame it?"
Jia Dairu didn't speak anymore, he just sat slumped on the chair like a marionette lost his mind and said nothing.
The elders of the Jia family didn't bother to pay attention to him, so they found two strong servants, sent him and Jia Rui home, and it was over.As for the petty gain that Jia Rui was greedy for, plus the things that Jia Dairu collected during the festivals, all of them would be converted into silver coins, and those who found the owner would be returned to the original owner.
This is also due to Jia Dairu's age. He has worked hard in the Jia family school for most of his life.
