Jia Lian of the Red Chamber

Then Jia Lian boiled all night, so let's not talk about it!

The next day, Sister Feng opened her eyes, her whole body felt as if she had been run over by a stone roller, her whole body was in pain and uncomfortable, and she suddenly thought of Jia Lian's uproar last night. The instigator had already gone to Shuijingfang to do his homework.

Sister Feng closed her eyes and asked, "Ping'er, what time is it?"

Ping'er was sitting in the outer room doing needlework, and came in after hearing the words: "Grandma is awake?"

Sister Feng asked again, "What time is it?"

Ping'er let out an 'oh', turned to look at the wall clock in the cabinet, and said with a smile, "It's time for the hour."

This is a mistake.

Sister Feng has developed a habit for many years, and every day at Maozheng, she must gather people to discuss matters and arrange government affairs for the whole day.

Sister Feng struggled to get up, her whole body was sore, she immediately bared her teeth: "Why don't you call me, I'm the director of Maoshi every day!"

Ping'er pursed her lips and smiled: "No need, the second master ordered Housekeeper Zhao to take care of the housework when he got up early in the morning. Grandma can just sleep peacefully."

When Sister Feng heard this, she immediately felt relieved, and lay down again, found a comfortable position and lay down, closing her eyes and feigning sleep.

Thinking of having to serve Jia Mu every day for tea and dinner, and being absent today for no reason, I suddenly became worried: "The housework is not in a hurry, and the old lady may not be able to explain it to her. Alas, it's not worth getting up at this time."

Ping'er bit the end of the thread slowly, and said with a smile: "It's okay, the old lady sent a message yesterday, saying that grandma doesn't have to go to serve these few days, as long as she takes good care of the second master and takes good care of her brothers and sisters. Okay, grandma, didn't you forget?"

As soon as Sister Feng heard this, she immediately remembered that it was indeed the case, and she couldn't help pinching her forehead: "Oh, my headache is killing me, how can I remember so much."

Ping'er pursed her lips and smiled, and couldn't help teasing: "It's not that grandma has a headache and can't remember, but because she saw the second master, everyone has to move back."

Sister Feng laughed herself when she heard the words, and looked at Ping'er and snorted, "You're so sore, I gave you a chance, and asked you to wait on your second master to take a bath, if you don't go, you will give Feng'er the opportunity, why? Yes, your second master didn’t like it, right? Hmph! Why do you think crooked melons and split dates can catch his eyes? Tell you to go, that’s because grandma thinks of you and promotes you, who knows that you, an unlucky bastard, don’t know how to praise you!”

Ping'er smiled on the face, but curled her lips in her heart. When was she not angry with Jia Lian's roommate, Sister Feng?After a lot of experience, Ping'er understood Sister Feng's temper, and the more nice she said, the more she hated people in her heart.You can pay her back with her gold and silver, you will be the one who cheated on her man.

Ping'er was forced to make fun of Ping'er at the beginning, but the next day he found an excuse to scold Ping'er, only missing the beating.

So later, Ping'er hid whenever he could.

Yuanyang once said that instead of eating delicious food and being tortured in the mansion, it is better to go out and be a husband and wife with a simple meal, but it is a pity that she is already broken, and it is difficult to be a decent lady when she goes out.Even if you go out to marry someone, you won't be able to marry a good one, so it's better to hang out here. Fortunately, as long as she doesn't come to the men, Sister Feng treats her pretty well.

Sister Feng thought about it after giving birth to a son, but now that no one can surpass her status, she also wants to give birth to a younger brother for Brother Tu, so that the brothers can help each other. A child is conceived in October, and she cannot serve men for a year.

What's more, Jia Lian's incident was too grueling, and Sister Feng also wanted someone to share her worries, but unfortunately, Ping'er would not seize the opportunity, and she slipped by every time.

Besides, Jia Lian doesn't seem to be so stealthy now. Sister Feng was worried that he was messing around outside, but she didn't investigate.As a precaution, Sister Feng still decided to take Ping'er's house away, and wait until she has stabilized herself completely before talking about other things.

Thinking of yesterday, Sister Feng was both happy and annoyed. Ping'er, a girl who was obedient and obedient, asked him to serve the second master, how dare she change her without permission?Fortunately, Feng'er's greenness does not suit Jia Lian's appetite, otherwise, Sister Feng would have vomited to death today.

Sister Feng couldn't help squinting at Ping'er: "What good did you do yesterday?"

Ping'er closed his mouth immediately, put away his smile: "Didn't you do anything?"

Sister Feng snorted: "I was very busy yesterday and didn't have time to settle accounts with you. You are so brave to arrange a woman for your second master. Do you think I'm blind?"

Ping'er rolled his eyes: "No, grandma thought, if I really want to give Erye a woman, and I don't choose a plump and hotter one, how can I choose Feng'er? Grandma doesn't know Erye's taste." , apart from being as beautiful as a fairy like grandma, I like women with big breasts buttocks and fat waists the most. Although Feng'er is fifteen, her body is no different from that of a man!"

Sister Feng was right after thinking about it, and immediately spat: "That's not allowed. Make up your own mind. Isn't this a drunken disorder? Also, if it's not for coddling, your second master can go to the east courtyard to drink. Don't think I don't want to drink." I know, what did Zhao Liangdong tell you yesterday, did your second master almost get tricked by those goblins?"

Ping'er cupped his hands at Sister Feng: "I admire you, grandma, you are so clairvoyant!"

Sister Feng raised her brows: "Really? Who is it?"

Ping'er was surprised: "Hey, grandma is cheating?"

Sister Feng snorted and said, "Isn't that what happens in the gate of this house? What good things can happen if you catch up with your uncle Zhen?"

Ping'er smiled: "Grandma really wronged the old man this time, if the old man didn't help yesterday, the second master wouldn't be able to come back."

Sister Feng was taken aback: "How to say?"

Ping'er said: "Zhao Liangdong went and said that the second master was about to leave, but was stopped by Uncle Zhen, saying that it was the second grandma who made trouble, how can a half-year-old child find his father. In the end, he was stopped by the elder master. Zhao Liangdong took the time to bring the second master back. Look at the way the second master came back. If the master didn't stop him and Zhao Liangdong ran fast again, the second master must have been taken advantage of by that dead girl Qiutong last night. It is said. "

Ping'er was a little speechless, and whispered into Sister Feng's ear for a while, and Sister Feng immediately raised her eyebrows: "Like his mother's skin, hmph, and the master, I'm afraid it's the master in the kiln, hmph, Qing wait, Get rid of her sooner or later!"

There is a knife now, but Sister Feng knows that Mrs. Xing wishes Qiutong to die early.

Looking back, he said that Jia Lian woke up in the morning, refreshed and very comfortable.

At such a time, Jia Lian has finished training and is practicing military boxing with Jia Ling in the martial arts hall. Although Jia Lian has supernatural powers, when the energy in his body is exhausted, military boxing can make up for it. Help.

Therefore, Jia Lian has not relaxed the training of military boxing in these years, and in the past two years, with the improvement of Jia Lian's martial arts attainments, he has perfected the military boxing, while hurting the enemy, he minimized his own damage and died together. Sometimes you can also leave yourself a glimmer of life.

Jia Lian still has three days to rest, and he plans to select a few students of the right age from his family and send them to the government to study with famous teachers.

All of a sudden, Long'er spread the news that Jia's family wanted to select the family's children to be sent to the government school, and the whole Rongning Street was boiling.The children of the family have to make good friends with family members like Sister Feng Jia Zhen when they enter the private school, or enshrine Jia Dairu to An Yi.

Now he is entering a government school, which is a government school. After studying there for one or two years, not to mention becoming a student of the Futai masters, even the students there are quite a fortune.

All of a sudden, people with sons in the family were moved by rumors. Those who had already entered the private school wanted to go to a private school, and those who did not, let alone, even if they could not enter the private school, it would be good to go to a private school. The private school not only has one meal There is also a pen and ink subsidy of two taels of silver.

Then there are those who are far-sighted, if there are students entering the government this year, there may not be no next year?

Immediately, the Rongguo Mansion was bustling with excitement, and Yise came to the door to explain and ask for grace.

Ning Mansion has its own quota and also participated in this year's donation. There are also two quotas in total.

Jia Rong was already on errand, so of course she didn't need it, and this spot was naturally given to Jia Qiang and Qin Keqing's younger brother, Qin Zhong. Jia Qiang was lazy and didn't want to go to a government school, but was dawdling in a private school.

You Shi and Jia Zhu's mothers are better, and they said in the morning that they would give Jia Zhu the quota. Therefore, although Jia Zhu is a close branch of Rongfu, Jia Lian does not need to take care of her.

Although Jia Lian has Yin Feng's promise that there is no limit to the number of students, Jia Lian still has to pick and choose whether the students are good or bad. Now that the child goes out to represent the face of the family, the Rongguo Mansion can no longer produce a prodigal like Jia Qin .

Jia Lian first asked Jia Yun and Jia Ling for their opinions. The two of them, Jia Yun, were fifteen and Jia Ling was 16 years old. If they were willing to enroll, Jia Lian would give priority to reserve places. It does not affect the intelligence system he is currently in charge of.

Jia Ling is not happy, because Jia Ling feels that he will not be sure to be a scholar after studying for a few years, and after leaving Rongfu, there will be no monthly routines in December and December, and the family's expenses will become tense. He has younger brothers and sisters under his feet. , He himself has to save up money to get married.

But Jia Ling begged Jia Lian for one thing. He had a six-year-old brother named Jia Zhi, who was studying at home by himself. Jia Ling asked Jia Lian for help, so that Jia Zhi could study in a private school.

Jia Ling was willing to stay in the Martial Arts Hall to take charge. Jia Lian was very happy. Jia Ling was honest and serious, and he was also a member of his own family. Therefore, he agreed to Jia Ling's request: "It's no problem. I'll see you later. Your second aunt will prepare a table gift for you. You will go there yourself to send your younger brother to school. Also, your sister is eight years old this year. You can ask her if she would like to go to boudoir school with her aunts. If so, Let's go tomorrow, I will tell your second aunt later, let her clean up a room for girl Luanxi."

Jia Ling's eyes turned red when she heard the words, and she bowed and said, "Thank you for being promoted by the second uncle. My nephew is incompetent, so I can't say anything else. But whatever uncle points out, my nephew will definitely go through fire and water."

Jia Lian smiled when he heard the words: "It's good that you have this heart, and you can manage this martial arts hall for me well. I don't need you to go through fire and water."

Jia Ling nodded: "Yes!"

Jia Lian suddenly turned serious: "The Martial Arts Hall is the barrier to the south of Rongguo Mansion. I have had people build courtyard walls to block the other three sides of Cuiwei Mountain. It is inevitable that some people will be curious or have evil intentions. Therefore, the sentry on the mountain must be taken seriously. , Inside the Martial Arts Hall, there are three shifts of patrols day and night, you must always remind yourself that there is a storeroom in front, and the female relatives live in the back house, you are guarding the south gate, and you have a heavy responsibility, don't take it lightly."

Jia Ling knelt down with a puff: "My nephew will follow the instructions and will not let my second uncle down."

Jia Lian stretched out his hand and lifted Jia Ling: "As long as you have it in your heart, there is no need to be like this."

Jia Ling got up: "Will uncle personally preside over the selection today?"

Jia Lian nodded: "Well, so, you have to be more vigilant today. Before the candidates here enter the hall, the entrance to the inner courtyard must be closed and guarded. There must be no mistakes."

Although the people who came to take the exam were all the children of the family, it was hard to guarantee that there would be black sheep like Jia Qin and Jia Chang.

Jia Ling quickly responded: "Second Uncle, don't worry, I will personally patrol, don't let Xiao Xiao take advantage of it."

As for the content of the exam, Jia Lian mainly consulted the Ming Jing.Jia Lian's exams were not rigid, but he first asked these private school students what they had learned, but it was Jia Zheng who ordered them to read the Four Books first. Jia Dairu had his own ideas and also taught the Book of Songs and the Book of Rites.

Jia Lian then said, "So, have you read the Four Books and the Book of Songs?"

Qi Qi replied: "Yes!"

Jia Lian instructed Jia Yun: "Go in and tell your aunts to help you extract a few passages from the Four Books and the Book of Songs, indicate the source, and send them in for later use."

Jia Yun went in, but came back in a moment, but said to Jia Lian: "The old ancestor brought some aunts and Uncle Bao will be there in a moment."

It was Jia Mu who heard that the exam here required several girls to write questions, so she simply brought a few girls to join in the fun.

When Jia Lian heard this, he immediately told Jia Ling: "The men sent for the exam immediately exit the martial arts hall, and let them all wait in the archery building. If anyone refuses to accept, he can be expelled."

Jia Ling was ordered to leave, and within a short time, all the patriarchs who sent for the exam retreated to the arrow path to wait, and the female relatives, after hearing that Jia's mother was coming, flocked to them one by one, wanting to establish a relationship with Jia's mother.

Here, Mother Jia brought Daiyu, Baoyu, and Sanchun, and there were only twenty or so boys left in the martial arts hall for reference by the female relatives and the family.

Mother Jia only judges people by their looks, and she likes everything that is cheap and beautiful.First, when he saw Jia Zhu, he beckoned: "Jun'er, come here, are you here for reference?"

Jia Jun pouted his buttocks and bowed, grinning: "Reporting to the ancestors, the great-grandson came to watch the fun."

Jia Zhu actually accompanied his friend Jia Lan to the exam.

Mother Jia smiled and sat down next to her: "How is your mother? Why don't you see her coming?"

Jia Jun said: "Because my cousin is going out recently, my mother went to my grandfather's house to help pack things."

For the two prefectures of Rongning and Ningxia, Jia Lian has no age limit. For the children of the family, Jia Lian only recruits Mongolian children who are over eight years old and under 14 years old in order to unite the children of the clan. Only when such nephews are cultivated can they have a sense of mission to the family .

Jia Jun's good friend Jia Lan is also a branch near the Rongguo Mansion, but his mother is a bit ambitious and unwilling to enter the mansion to flatter her, so her mother is not familiar with Jia Mufeng.This time, it was about their son's future, so the couple lost face and begged Jia Lian.

Jia Lan's father, Jia Fan, and Jia Lian are both descendants of the great-grandfather Jia Yuan, so they naturally agreed.

When the exam started, the Mongolian boys entered the martial arts lecture hall in the front yard of the martial arts hall.

Jia Lian watched the Mongolian boys take their seats at the door, and compared them with their fathers in his heart, while thinking about these people and their close relatives in Rongfu, and in the previous life, who stayed in the capital to inquire after the accident in Rongfu News, who ran away overnight.

Jia Yun, Jia Qin, Jia Zhen, Jia Ping, Jia Zao, Jia Heng, Jia Fen, Jia Fang, Jia Lan, Jia Zhu, Jia Zhi, Jia Yun, Jia Zhu, Jia Zhi, Jia Zhu and Jia Zhi are all must-choices. Exam selection.

However, Jia Lian eliminated Jia Qin first, Jia Lian looked at Jia Qin and smiled, "Jia Qin, are you in your teens this year?"

Jia Qin blushed: "Reporting to Second Uncle, my nephew is fifteen this year."

Jia Lian waved: "Go down!"

Jia Qin slipped away in despair.

Jia Yun and Jia Ling looked at each other and smiled, this Jia Qin was usually the most duplicitous, his mother was flattering, and his father was pretty good at making money, the family used to rely on Sister Feng's appreciation to run amok in the back streets.

Now that Jiachang made a mistake and was kicked out, their family has calmed down.

I didn't want Jia Qin to catch up again, intending to get away with it, but I didn't know that the reason why Jia Lian restricted Mengtong to only 14 years old was that, first, Jia Yun and Jia Ling, who were 15 years old and above, were promising and conscientious. , this 15-year-old limit is to stop Jia Qin, but let alone Jia Lian will take revenge, he just doesn't want Jia Qin's family to take advantage of him.

Now it's just cutting off their way forward. One day, Jia Lian will boil the frogs in warm water, making them the street rats that everyone shouts and beats on Rongning Street.

Jia Lian kicked out Jia Qin, and Jia Zhen, Jia Ping, Jia Zao, and Jia Hengjia were also a little scared. They were also over 14 years old, but they were not yet fifteen. But look, how Jia Lian, the head of the family, behaves.

But Jia Lian glanced at them and announced the start of the exam, and the four of them seemed to be pardoned.

Jia Lian's action was like a signal, at least those who took the exam would not associate with Jia Qin's family after returning home.

Immediately the exam begins.

The first question was posed by Jia Mu.

Jia's mother asked, "24 filial piety, have you read it?"

All the boys replied in unison: "I have read it!"

24 Filial piety is an enlightenment book like the Three Character Classic, and some people can already read it before going to school.

Jia Mu said, "Oh, let me ask you, do you know Wang Xiang's story?"

Meng Tong said: "I know, Wang Xiang is lying on the ice and begging for a carp!"

Jia Mu nodded: "Well, he has a brother, do you know his name?"

This time it's uneven.

"I know, it's called Wang Lan!"

"Hmm, I don't know!"

Jia's mother patted Jia Jun's head: "Do you know Jun'er?"

Jia Jun smiled and said, "The great-grandson knows, not only the great-grandson, but also Jia Lan!"

As soon as Jia's mother heard this, she knew that Jia Zhu wanted to support Jia Lan, so she asked, "Who is Jia Lan? Do you know? If you know, tell me."

Jia Lan got up and made a bow, and said: "Reporting to the ancestor, the great-grandson knows that Wang Lan is Wang Xiang's half-brother. In order to protect his elder brother Wang Xiang, he rushed to drink the wine poisoned by his mother."

Jia Mu nodded: "That's right, what happened next?"

Jia Lan said: "Later, Wang Lan was successful in his studies, and he became an official to Doctor Guanglu. His descendants prospered. Among the descendants, there is the sage Wang Xizhi!" Jia Mu beckoned, "Lan'er, come forward."

Jia Lan stepped forward, and Jia's mother took Jialan Jiajun with both hands, and smiled and said to all the descendants of Jia's house: "Wang Xiang and Wang Lan are filial brothers, so God blesses you, and your descendants are prosperous. Follow the example of the brothers Wang Xiang and Wang Lan, united in the same breath, advance hand in hand, and honor the ancestors.”

All the descendants of Jia's family were very excited when they heard that Jia's mother compared them with Wang Xiang and Wang Lan.

Jia Mu nodded and smiled, "Okay. I'm just digressing, let's accept your second uncle Lian's assessment!"

Jia Lian admired her grandmother so much in her heart that she was wronged to promote filial piety even though it was a selection exam for a government school.

This is really very good at stitching.

However, it is impossible for Jia Mu to bind him with filial piety.

After all, whether brotherhood is filial piety or brotherhood is good, neither one can be established if one is done well. They are equal to each other, and one is indispensable. No one can be superior to the other. happy.

Next, Baoyu Daiyu and Sanchun began to write questions for assessment.

Daiyu asked, "Hey, let's eat! Where did you come from?"

Meng Tong lowered his head to answer the questions. First, the test papers were collected, and eight of them were correct. The rest of them knew the Book of Rites, but they didn't know which one it was, and some knew the source, but they wrote the wrong words.

Baoyu came up with the second question, and Baoyu said: "Do you know all the Guanju chapters? Let's see if you write silently!"

These boys smiled knowingly when they heard the words, and after a while, they were all right.

It can be seen from this that Guan Ju, the opening chapter in the Book of Songs, is so popular.

Jia Lian smiled: "Choose the top ten calligraphy."

The third question was written by Yingchun.

Yingchun smiled: "If you are honest with yourself and don't ask for others, you will have no complaints. Don't blame the sky at the top, and don't favor others at the bottom. From which one of the Four Books? Silently read the full text and make notes."

This time many boys scratched their heads.

It took three full quarters before someone started handing in the papers.After deliberation, five articles were qualified, and the rest were not satisfactory. However, Daiyu and Baoyu selected five more articles according to Jia Lian's request, making up ten people.

Finally, Tanchun came up with a question, and Tanchun said: "Or say: to repay a grievance with virtue, how about silently writing the next sentence and making an annotation."

Jia Lian laughed when he heard Tanchun's question, what kind of person really asked the question.Just looking at the questions posed by the four people, the ideological disposition of the four people can be seen.

When the results of the last question came out, Jia Lian immediately made a concluding speech, saying: "Today's exam questions are not so much about learning, but rather about how the ancestors, aunts and uncles taught you how to behave. Those who pass the exam today, remember, don't repay virtue with resentment. Repay virtue with honesty, repay virtue with virtue, if you fail the exam, don't blame others, I hope you will 'rectify yourself and not ask others'."

"Okay, now I click on the name to stay, and the rest to leave."

"Jia Ling, Jia Yun, Jia Zhen, Jia Ping, Jia Zao, Jia Heng, Jia Fen, Jia Fang, Jia Lan, Jia Zhi."

Although Jia Lian had said hello in advance, the children of the family who were not selected were still a little resentful, and some even cried loudly on the spot.

This kind of person can't stand a little setback, and Jia Lian doesn't want to see him even more.

Of course, the ten people selected were naturally overjoyed.

The author has something to say:

I found that a lot of nutrient solution has been added, so happy, thank you dears, happy holidays! !
