Xichun is a Buddhist practitioner [Red Chamber]

When Jia Xichun and Mrs. Jia came over, Qin Keqing was holding Jia Jin in the yard to bask in the sun.The child is over one year old and can crawl, stand and call.

"Zeng...great-grandmother." Seeing Mrs. Zhang approaching, Jia Jin stretched out her hand.

Jia Jin didn't call him an old ancestor, and they didn't teach Jia Jin that way.Jia Jing is still alive, what to call the old ancestor, and how will he be called Jia Jing at that time, so it is most suitable to be called great-grandmother.

"It's true that I've gained a lot of weight." Jia Xichun looked at the chubby Jia Jin, and stretched out his hands to pinch his face.

"Aunt." Jia Jin said, he didn't understand these terms, such as aunt and grandma, it was a bit difficult for him.Because Jia Xichun stayed in General Wei Lie's mansion for a short time, and he saw Jia Xichun seldom, so he often called her aunt after others.

"It's the wrong name again." Jia Xichun squatted halfway, and didn't pick up Jia Jin. She likes to look at children, but doesn't like to hug them. "I want you to change it, you have to wait until you grow up."

Jia Xichun didn't expect Jia Jin to change right away, the child is still young, and she is younger than Jia Rong.The other party can't tell these things apart now, and they will understand when they grow up.

"You're so young, you should eat less sugar, and I won't bring you any sugar." Children are not suitable for eating candied fruit and the like. They are easy to be swallowed by accident and block the windpipe. When Jia Xichun delivers things , do not give these, just give some suitable for children.

Jia Jin clapped her little hands and called again, "Auntie."

"He just likes to call people." Qin Keqing said with a smile, her son looked more well-behaved and not so noisy.At first, she was worried about her son making a fuss, but sometimes her son was too quiet, which made her worry about whether there was something wrong with him, but fortunately, the imperial doctor said there was no problem.

Jia Xichun stayed in the yard with Mrs. Zhang for a while, played with Jia Jin for a while, and then left.

After Jia Xichun left, Mrs. Zhang signaled the wet nurse to take Jia Jin away, and then said, "The women's department opened a girls' school."

"Granddaughter-in-law knows." Qin Keqing nodded, "Granddaughter-in-law doesn't take the scientific examination for the women's department, nor does she go to the women's school."

Qin Keqing knew her identity, and sometimes she really envied the officials of the women's department, and also thought about the women's school.But her status meant that she couldn't go to the women's department. She was the daughter of the abolished prince, and it was enough to have such a happy life now. She didn't want to think about those things too much.

Mrs. Zhang was just worried that Qin Keqing would not be reconciled, and that she wanted to go to the women's department.She thinks that Qin Keqing is indeed quite capable, but unfortunately her status does not allow it.

"My daughter-in-law is living a very happy life now." Qin Keqing said, "You don't need to comfort me, I already know."

Mrs. Zhang likes Qin Keqing's temperament, she knows what to do and what not to do.It's like Qin Keqing's identity is not disclosed, but because of her good temper, some members of the royal family are willing to take care of her more.

Those who knew Qin Keqing's identity also knew that she was like this in her generation, she was Qin Ye's adopted daughter, and she could not become the royal princess.The emperor did not dispose of Qin Keqing, nor did he disclose Qin Keqing's identity, which does not mean that he would not allow some people to treat her well.

The emperor has a lot of things to do every day, so how can he have so much time to care about Qin Keqing, who is just a weak woman.The abolished prince has already been abolished like that, why bother with Qin Keqing.

Recently, the emperor has been in a pretty good mood, and the women's department is gradually getting on the right track. The imperial hospital has also researched many prescriptions, and those prescriptions can also be popularized, and can treat many people.He, the emperor, has a high reputation among the people again, so how can he be unhappy.

No matter how happy the emperor is, it is impossible to think of amnesty for the world. Amnesty for the world is not a good thing.Some people were arrested for committing crimes, and they were released because of minor offenses. When something happened later, there might be a big incident, so the emperor could not amnesty the world at will.

The emperor also did not reinstate the previously suspended officials at will. Since the officials have been suspended, most of them are due to their own problems, and a small part of them are suspended due to other reasons. Such cases cannot be called suspension, but waiting.

The matter of Mrs. Wang's usury was still remembered by the emperor before, letting the emperor know that a housewife can do so many things.When someone told him that Jia Zheng had been suspended for a long time, and whether he was going to be reactivated, the emperor thought of Jia Zheng's wife who put usury.

"Then let him... the officials see what to do." The emperor thought that Jia Zheng was quite old, and such a person who could let his wife put loan sharks under his nose must be a person with little ability. People, "If you can't do great things, don't do them."

When the adult heard what the emperor said, he understood what the emperor meant.The emperor didn't want to use Jia Zheng again at all, but he only thought of this person when he mentioned it himself.

Jia Zheng got the official position because of his father's pass before his death. He himself did not have much ability.Such an official position is like a related household going in to sit and have fun, and then go home for dinner after get off work.If you ask him to do something, he probably can't do anything.

When Jia Zheng learned that he was reinstated, he was very excited, and he was even more happy when he thought of the little beauty he learned from yesterday.

"Master just got a new younger sister yesterday, and she will be reinstated today. It seems that the new younger sister is a blessing." Aunt Zhou praised the new concubine with a smile.

The concubine was specially found by Aunt Zhou from the countryside. She was a very young woman. Because her parents died and her elder brother made things difficult, her life was very difficult, and she wanted to raise her younger brother.When Aunt Zhou came to the door, after hearing what Aunt Zhou said, she agreed.

Because she was relatively weak, Aunt Zhou specially let her raise her for another month.She and her younger brother were bought by Aunt Zhou from her brother-in-law, but Aunt Zhou only accepted her deed of sale, and did not let her brother press the deed of sale, saying that she had to raise her brother, and her brother would still be able to live in the future. Don't do any prostitution.

When Kong Erya heard this, she was naturally grateful.During this month, Aunt Zhou asked her to teach her some housework skills. Knowledge is not important, a concubine must know how to serve a good man.

Her younger brother is only seven or eight years old. If Kong Erya wants to support her younger brother, he needs money.The Jia family has money. After she became a concubine, she was able to support her younger brother. Aunt Zhou also tried to get her younger brother to enter the house. She didn't have a contract of sale, but she was also a book boy next to Jia Lan. .

"Master is capable." Aunt Kong said shyly.

Seeing Xinde's aunt so shy, Jia Zheng thought of how she looked after him last night, and liked her even more.People are somewhat superstitious, he just got a new aunt yesterday, and today he is reinstated, so he feels that this new aunt is indeed a blessing.Therefore, he is also willing to spoil Aunt Kong more.

Seeing that Jia Zheng liked Aunt Kong so much, Aunt Zhou was also happy.That Aunt Zhao is so old, it's just yesterday's yellow flower, how can it compare to a fresh and juicy little woman.

It would be fine if Aunt Zhao was quieter, but Aunt Zhao always wanted to let Jia Huan take over, and she always said some sarcastic remarks in front of her.Said that she, a childless person, didn't know those things at all, and didn't know the hardships of being a mother.

Aunt Zhao stepped on Aunt Zhou's pain, how could Aunt Zhou let Aunt Zhao make waves, so she had to find someone to hold her down.

When Aunt Zhao learned that Jia Zheng had got a new aunt, she was stunned. She never thought that Jia Zheng would accept a new aunt at this time.When she saw the new aunt, she found that the new aunt was very young, and she was probably a woman who had just reached her age.

"Of course the master is capable." Aunt Zhao glanced at Aunt Kong, "How can you help me?"

"Sister can't help much." Aunt Kong was embarrassed.

Jia Zheng just got a newcomer, and he was very happy. Seeing the embarrassment of his new favorite, he didn't like Aunt Zhao very much, "She is still young, what are you talking about?"

Aunt Zhao bit her lip, Aunt Xin is not much older than Jia Huan.

Seeing this, Aunt Zhou was in a good mood, it was rare to see Aunt Zhao so unhappy.Aunt Zhao must still be thinking about fighting for favor, but Aunt Zhao is already old, unless she lets the maid around her do it.But Jia Zheng is not the kind of person who randomly pulls women into the courtyard. If Aunt Zhao dared to do that, Jia Zheng must be very upset.

Jia Baoyu had no idea that his father's backyard was about to catch fire, and he was giving Jia Tanchun some pens, ink, paper and inkstone.

"Sister Tanchun is going to take the exam tomorrow." Jia Baoyu knew that Jia Tanchun was going to take the exam at the women's school. The book was given to Jia Tanchun, "Don't be nervous, take it easy, with sister Tanchun's knowledge, I think she can pass the exam."

"I just study at home, and the books I read are not so wide." Jia Tanchun knows that he has many shortcomings, lack of experience, and young age. Now he can only think about passing the exam, and then he will be able to I studied at a girls' school.

I heard that those noble girls mentioned by the Queen have already entered the women's school, but I don't know what the atmosphere of the school is like, and what kind of masters they are.

It's useless for her to think about it now, she still has to pass the exam first.Jia Tanchun envied those who could directly enter women's schools. Those people had high status, and with them, the forces behind them could also support them.

Jia Tanchun was not stupid enough to think that those women should not go in, nor did he think that those women were inferior to him.Identity itself is a very important thing, just like her father, if not for his father being the son of the Duke, how could he easily get an official position.

"Most women are like this." Jia Baoyu said, "There is not much difference. There are not so many problems during the exam. If there are problems, you will not, and neither will others."

Jia Baoyu didn't say this to comfort Jia Tanchun, but there are really many noble girls who don't go out without going out.Under such circumstances, many noble women are going to participate in the recruitment examination of the women's school, which means that many people may not be so many.

The recruiters of women's schools must also realize that these women don't know so many things, but they still test those things.Actually, just to see if anyone stood out.

Because there are not many students in the women's school, there must be a lot of female students in the recruitment examination this time.The more people recruited, the higher the chance of being admitted.Furthermore, the girls' school has only just opened, and some people are still on the sidelines, and have not allowed their girls to participate in the recruitment examination.

Of course, there are also some people who regard this as a female school on the spot, the kind of female school that teaches excellent married couples.But this women's school is obviously not a place to train women to be wives, but more to cultivate their ability in government affairs.

Jia Baoyu thinks that it is more appropriate for Jia Tanchun to take the exam early, and don't think about going after the marriage is settled.At that time, the women's department will move forward again, and more people will definitely want to enter the women's school. People from all state capitals will come, and it will be even more difficult to enter the women's school.

Jia Tanchun is just a concubine, and her status in the family is not that high.Jia Baoyu also knew that Jia Tanchun's marriage was more difficult, so he supported her in going to a women's school.

"Thank you, second brother." Jia Tanchun looked at Jia Baoyu and thought of Jia Huan. Jia Huan didn't care if she was good or not, he would only say what she was doing as a woman studying so many books and what kind of women's school she was taking. Waiting steadily to get married.

Jia Huan's attitude was not much different from Aunt Zhao's. He didn't think about Jia Tanchun at all, he just wanted him to live comfortably.

Jia Tanchun already knew about Jia Zheng taking a concubine, saying that he was taking a concubine, but in fact that aunt belonged to the kind of aunt who had not filed a record with the government.This court did not specifically stipulate how many concubines officials and common people could have, but most officials only had one or two concubines. Although the rest were also called concubines, they were not recorded at all.

The reason why those people don't go to the record is that they don't want people to think that they have so many famous aunts. This kind of thing may also affect the evaluation of the Ministry of Officials.

After Jia Zheng left, Aunt Kong went to see her brother, but not to Jia Lan.Jia Lan was also getting old, and Aunt Kong had to avoid suspicion, so she went to Aunt Zhou's side.

Aunt Kong's younger brother was originally very thin. He is seven or eight years old, and he looks like five or six years old. In the past month or so, he has put on some meat.If Aunt Zhou hadn't found her, she might have been beaten to death by her brother and sister-in-law, and this younger brother might have been thrown into the wilderness.

The elder brother and sister-in-law occupied the family house, but they didn't want to support her and younger brother, and wanted to sell her as a concubine.How could Aunt Kong be willing? If she was sold, how would she take care of her younger brother? The younger brother is a boy, so he should have been given some family property.

When she was at home, she saw her brother and sister-in-law beating and scolding her brother several times.This made Aunt Kong very unbearable, and she often protected her younger brother, which also caused her to be beaten frequently. Even so, she still had to work often, and the food she got was good.

Since she is going to be sold by her brother and sister-in-law to be a concubine, she wants to be better. Aunt Zhou is willing to let her raise her younger brother and let her take him away, so she wants to fight.

"Brother." Aunt Kong looked at her younger brother wearing a new jacket, her eyes were reddish. My younger brother could only be frozen at home before, and he would be frozen in winter.And I can only find some more straw, and then sleep with my younger brother, thinking about warming my younger brother, take out all those clothes, and cover them with a torn quilt.

In winter, Aunt Kong did not dare to wash clothes easily, for fear that the clothes would not dry and would have nothing to wear.

Now, my younger brother can wear a new jacket and thick clothes, so this winter will be easier.As for being a concubine for someone who could almost be her grandfather, Aunt Kong didn't regret it, so Aunt Zhao's son was younger than her, and she could still say that Jia Zheng was at most about the same age as his father.

Official family, eat well, live well, older, but also look younger.

Aunt Kong has no other choice. She is in the village, and no one is willing to marry her. She is afraid that her brother and sister-in-law will ask for more money, and also afraid that after marriage, she will have to take care of her younger brother, and worry that she will use all the money to subsidize her mother's family.

There are many women like Aunt Kong in this world, but many of them have no choice, and some of them froze to death before being sold to rich families as concubines.There are also people who are asked for a lot of betrothal money, but don't have much dowry. After they get married, they are forced to die by their in-laws.Some were even sold to brothels by close relatives. Those people just wanted to have money to marry their sons.

Many women are very unhappy, but parents can sell their daughters, elder brothers are like fathers, and elder brothers can sometimes sell younger sisters.

"I told the master about your family's situation yesterday." Aunt Zhou said, "The master will love you."

A poor little woman who can only rely on a man's woman can easily attract the sympathy of a man, and can also satisfy a man's desire for protection.

Aunt Zhou wanted Jia Zheng to have more sympathy for Aunt Kong, and it was better to be more sympathetic to Aunt Kong than to stay with Aunt Zhao.

"Thank you." Aunt Kong put her arms around her younger brother with red eyes, thinking that his life would be better.Parents passed away too early, and she was the only one who could take care of my younger brother. Those relatives in the village were unreliable. If they were really reliable, my younger brother would not have been almost killed by his brother-in-law several times.

Those people only said to let her bear it, saying that the brother and sister-in-law had a hard time and had to support their siblings, and said that the brother-in-law and sister-in-law had children.

Brothers and sisters-in-law often make delicious food quietly, and they don't give them more food at all, even half a corn cob.

Aunt Kong's younger brother was a little timid, and his speech was not particularly complete.It's all because he was pinched and beaten by his brother and sister-in-law since he was a child, he didn't dare to talk too much, and he was afraid that his sister would be beaten, which led to his personality.Aunt Kong always wanted her brother to talk more, but his brother and sister-in-law were still there, so his brother was still afraid.

"I was talking about being a book boy, but the master has been reinstated, and I think the master also loves your siblings." Aunt Zhou said, "Let him live in Lange'er's yard later, and give him another servant .It is not suitable for him to live with you."

"Yes." Aunt Kong dared not say anything wrong.

"Live with peace of mind." Li Wan said, since Aunt Kong was by her father-in-law's side, Aunt Zhao couldn't be busy framing her son.

When Li Wan learned that her son had problems eating, she was shocked and asked the doctor to take a look.Fortunately, those chronic 丨 poisons are taken less, and they can be excreted by taking other medicines.

Is it because Jia Baoyu is going to the Northwest at that time, and there is only one grandson of Jia Lan left in the family. Is Aunt Zhao planning to go out to Jia Lan and let Jia Huan inherit the family property? Li Wan is afraid, otherwise she will not agree to Aunt Zhao's suggestion, Find a woman for father-in-law.

People like Aunt Zhao just don't have much brains. She wanted to harm someone, but she was not so smart, so she was caught.If Li Wan and Aunt Zhou couldn't find evidence, Aunt Zhao would not be able to stay in the house now.

Don't dare how chaotic the backyard of Jia's second bedroom is, and how fierce the struggle is.On the second day, Jia Tanchun went out of the house to go to the women's school for reference.
