Jia Lian of the Red Chamber

Jia Lian looked at the remaining ten children of the family, all of them were good-looking, and they would definitely look good in the future.

Jia Lian was very satisfied and said: "You are all direct descendants of the two Dukes of Rongning, and go out to represent the face of my Rongning Second House. I hope you will remember the words of your ancestors, be filial to your parents and elder relatives, and love your brothers and sisters. , and remember your Aunt Lin's teachings, to be a man, you must have a backbone, and you would rather die than eat what you get!"

Seeing that Jia Lian praised all the examiners, but did not mention himself, Baoyu was immediately disappointed. The questions he gave were also very good.

Guan Guan Jujiu, in the continent of the river, a modest lady, a gentleman is so beautiful, so beautiful!

Baoyu looked at Jia Lian's flat mouth, very unconvinced.

Jia Lian smiled when she saw it: "Also, the question from your second uncle Bao, yes."

Baoyu's eyes lit up, looking forward to it.

But Jia Lian said: "A fair lady, a gentleman is so good. In our family, men under eighteen are not allowed to marry, so it's still early for you. Even if you grow up in the future, you must remember another sentence, parents' orders, Matchmaker’s words. However, if you have the ability to combine the two, you are lucky!”

Baoyu's cheeks bulged again, feeling very wronged.

Finally, Jia Lian said: "Anyone who picks up a child today must come to the Martial Arts Hall to practice for half an hour every day at the beginning of the day. Classes are in the school at the [-]th hour. After the morning class, you have an hour to eat and go on your way.

You are not allowed to take a car to go to school, you have to walk. Those who are late are responsible for their own responsibility. Those who are late three times in a row will be disqualified from admission. Remember? "

The following family members all replied: "Remember, Second Uncle!"

Jia Lian nodded: "Training all day tomorrow, those who make mistakes will be expelled, remember?"

Then there was another shocking reply: "Remember, Second Uncle!"

Jia Lian waved: "Go!" He waved to Jia Ling and Jia Zhi: "Come here!"

Jia Ling and Jia Zhi all ran over to salute, "Greetings to Second Uncle, hello Second Uncle!"

Jia Lian nodded and looked at Jia Zhi: "Originally your elder brother could go to a government school, but because he has to support his family, he gave you this opportunity in exchange for your qualification to enter a private school. Therefore, if you have achievements in the future, you must remember you." Brother's sacrifice, you know?"

Jia Zhi nodded: "Nephew must remember my elder brother's care for me, and I will never forget my second uncle's support for our family!"

This kid can understand a little bit, very good.

Jia Lian nodded in satisfaction: "The main thing is to remember your brother's sacrifice, go ahead!"

Jia Lian greeted Jia Yun and Jia Ling again, and said: "From tomorrow onwards, your brothers and Jia Rong will be the first batch of martial arts lecturers in the family martial arts hall. When the time is right, I will hire reliable martial arts masters to teach in the house." , for now, you have to work hard for a while.

Especially Yun'er, you not only have to teach them Kung Fu, but also take them to school.

Especially the eight-year-old children, they are still young. Although I said that they are not allowed to ride in the car, this is only the final requirement, and it cannot be implemented blindly at present, which requires you to act flexibly.

You have to pay attention to them every day, and don't let them come in late or leave early, so as not to have a bad influence on the school.

Don't cause trouble in your school, and don't bully others.

However, we must not be afraid of things. We must remember that even though our Jia family in this capital is not a top family, it is the feat and honor earned by our ancestors who bleed hard.We are not a cat or a dog who can be bullied.

So, you don't need to underestimate yourselves, just be upright! "

Jia Yun nodded: "Nephew remembers it!"

Jia Lian said again: "Whether it is the Imperial College or the government school, they are all the same as private schools. They fight for family background, talent and learning, and finally they will perform martial arts. Therefore, from tomorrow, all students in the government school will start school in March. Before, they had to practice boxing and kicking in the Martial Arts Hall all day, so at least they have the basic self-protection ability in the school, so when training, you must be strict and not be soft-hearted, understand?"

Jia Yun nodded: "Nephew knows!"

There is a way to solve problems privately in the Imperial College School, and that is to fight.

Whoever bullied someone or was bullied, not convinced, went to fight in the grove after class, as long as no one died, the school didn't care.

In this way, whoever has the biggest fist will be invincible.

As for fighting for family background, usually the losing party is not convinced, so they will fight for family background, and the high-ranking ones overwhelm the low-ranking ones.

However, most people would not choose to find their parents, but anyone with a sense would not mess with those who could not be provoked.

However, the highest origin of a student of the government school is no more than the government.

That's why Jia Lian told them not to bully others.

Of course, there are also side branches of Wangfu County Wangfu who like to bully others by pretending to be foxes and tigers. That's why Jia Lian told Jia Yun not to underestimate himself.

In fact, the school is the same as the family, one ebbs and another, if you act more aggressively, he will know to be afraid and will be weak.

On the contrary, if you shrink back, he will deceive others.

Although Jia Lian is also afraid of trouble, if this group of children is bullied in school all day long, and they don't know how to resist and handle interpersonal relationships correctly, then this group of children will be useless even if they win Jinshi.

Jia Lian's torment was in vain.

Therefore, Jia Lian would rather be more troublesome, but also cultivate a few talents who are daring and virtuous.

Otherwise, the Rong Mansion that Brother Yu will take over in the future will be just like him, a mess lacking in talents.

When Jia Lian came home that day, it happened that Sister Li Wan and Feng Sister were talking and laughing.It was Li Wan who brought Jia Lante to visit Jia Lian.

After Jia Lian greeted Li Wan, without waiting for Li Wan to speak, he smiled at Jia Lan and said, "Lan'er, come here."

Jia Lan was a little afraid of Jia Lian at first, so she stood by her mother and peeked at Jia Lian from a distance. Seeing Jia Lian smiling, he became more courageous, and slowly came over to salute Jia Lian: "Lan'er has seen the second uncle. , Second Uncle An."

Jia Lian nodded: "Okay, tomorrow I will get up to practice martial arts at the beginning of the day, are you afraid?"

Jia Lan's chest puffed up: "Reporting to my second uncle, Lan'er is not afraid. When she grows up, Lan'er will learn from her ancestors, become a general, ride a white horse, charge into battle, kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds."

Langui Qifang!

Jia Lan's words reminded Jia Lian of his grandfather's words.

It is said that Jia Lan was a scholar in his previous life, so he probably became a Jinshi or a general later on.

In this life, with my own variable, I don't know if I can be a general.

Jia Lian patted Jia Lan's head: "Good boy, you have ambition, and you will have great fortune in the future!" Jia Lan was very happy to be praised, so she didn't go back to her mother, and stood beside Jia Lian, looking at Jia Lian with eyes full of tears. I thought to myself, my ancestors and mother said that my father was born well, with both civil and military skills, and my second uncle is also capable of both civil and martial arts, so if my father is alive, he will probably look like his second uncle.

When Li Wan turned around, he saw Jia Lan staring at Jia Lian with bright eyes, wishing she could crawl into Jia Lian's arms. Li Wan knew that Jia Lan was missing her father.

For a moment, Li Wan felt a pain in his heart.

She looked at Jia Lian and said with a strong smile: "Lan'er often said at home that Lian's second uncle was also a bodyguard and was admitted to the Jinshi examination. He also said that if anyone can get the guidance of the second uncle, it is uncertain how great the future will be."

Sister Feng smiled when she heard the words: "Look at this kid, he's a little big, and he knows how to recognize people. Is it just your second uncle who is good, and my second aunt?"

When Li Wan heard this, his face became tense, for fear that Jia Lan might say something wrong.

Jia Lan was really confused, how should I say this?

The second aunt can't read, so he can't say that the second aunt is as good as the second uncle.

He turned to look at his mother, but Li Wan couldn't tell him what to say, so he said with a smile: "Your second aunt is just joking with you."

Jia Lan looked back at Sister Feng, her eyes sparkling, did he really need to answer?

Sister Feng looked at Li Wan and smiled: "Why are you nervous? Could it be that you girls can't speak ill of me at home?"

Jia Lan is usually the most filial. He was afraid that his mother would be wronged. When he heard this, he became impatient, and suddenly remembered what his ancestor said. Recalling what the ancestors said, the ancestors said that the second aunt is the most capable grandson and daughter-in-law in the two mansions!"

Sister Feng giggled when she heard the words: "The old ancestor said well, how about you, Lan'er? Do you think Second Aunt can do it?"

Jia Lan bowed and bowed: "My nephew thinks what the old lady said!"

Sister Feng smiled and grabbed a handful of crispy candy and gave it to Jia Lan: "Good Lan'er, you have good eyesight, well said, Second Aunt likes a straightforward child like Lan'er the most."

Jia Lian was too lazy to listen to their women's gossip, and took Jia Lan out: "I'll take you to the Martial Arts Hall to have a look and get familiar with the rooms and the stewards there, so that you won't recognize them tomorrow."

Seeing Jia Lan's uncles and nephews walking away, Li Wan immediately chuckled and drew Sister Feng's face with his hand: "I'm so happy now, I've never seen such a shameless aunt like you, teasing my little nephew to praise you!"

Sister Feng smiled and said, "Hmph, you don't understand now, Tong Yan Wuji, what the child said is the truth, it shows that I am in Lan'er's heart, that is the most capable grandma, you mother Just be jealous!" Li Wan smiled faintly: "I've been jealous of you for a long time, and you just found out today?"

Sister Feng was taken aback, looked at Li Wan and smiled again: "You are jealous of what I do, and I don't know how to write poetry. Seeing plum blossoms makes me sour: the cold wind is bitter and hard to break. Look at sweet-scented osmanthus, and then said: The breeze hits the face It smells delicious. It's so sour that I'm going to die!"

Li Wan chuckled: "This is the tone of those boring cleaners, we are not like this!"

She sighed and pinched Sister Feng's cheeks: "You girl, just pretend, I'll just say one thing, because I, Lan'er, don't have a civil and military father, I'm jealous of you!"

Sister Feng hurriedly turned around and hugged Li Wan when she heard the words: "Oh, it's all my fault, why are you talking about these gossips, good sister-in-law, don't be angry, let me tell you, didn't you say that the fermented glutinous rice made by me is delicious, no, I specially made a small jar for you, and you can take it back later."

Li Wan intentionally put on a stern face: "I want to get rid of this little advantage, second uncle is too worthless?"

Sister Feng raised her eyebrows: "I know the reason for your visit. One family doesn't talk about two families. Didn't you see Lian'er? He understood before you said it. I won't bring Lan'er to practice, but you can I understand, Lian'er doesn't recognize people when she practices. You haven't seen Brother Qiang in Dongfu. Once you go to the martial arts hall, you will always hide for half a month and dare not leave the house. Don't come to me for three days or two to cry. ah."

Li Wan said seriously: "Sticks make filial sons, and upbringing makes disobedient ones. If I came to you for this, I'm not alone. You tell the second uncle, just say what I said, and practice Lan'er as he likes, as long as there is life, I also want to thank him!"

Sister Feng smiled: "That's good, I will remember it!"

Li Wan's eyes were a little red: "I'm telling the truth, you two uncles and aunts treat your nephews with nothing to say. A few days ago, I heard that there are two places in the government school. Lan'er recited it in front of me several times. Said that I wanted to go to the government school, so I brazenly asked my father-in-law to send Lan'er to the government school."

Sister Feng nodded: "I should ask him to do this matter, I don't have to eat and drink all day, and I still have to find other people's troubles."

Li Wan snorted: "Should? Do you know what Aunt Zhao said? She said that there is only one place left in the mansion. The master said that Lan'er is still young. Let him give this place to Third Uncle Huan first. Think of him as being filial to the third uncle."

Sister Feng was very surprised: "There is a difference between concubine and concubine. Logically, this quota should be given to Lan'er first. What does second uncle say? He just let Aunt Zhao dictate to your eldest son and grandson?"

Li Wan suddenly became angrily: "You still mention my concubine, you haven't seen my father-in-law now, he used to just rest in Aunt Zhao's house, but now he lives and eats together, he is like a husband and wife, a man in his dozens years old, was mentioned by an aunt He is not afraid of people poking his back when he is playing."

These Feng sisters knew about it early on, but she, the nephew and daughter-in-law, didn't have to take care of the affairs of the uncle's father-in-law's house.Thinking of how domineering the second wife was at the beginning, not only was she like a quail that overwhelmed the aunts, but she even dared to murder her own nephew and daughter-in-law, she was simply the boss, her second child.

How is it now?He has become a living dead, his family is gone, the man he has fought for all his life is taken over by his aunt, his daughter is trapped in the palace without knowing whether he will live or die, and his son is doing nothing but eating, drinking and having fun.

This is God's own judgment!

But this cannot be said out loud.

Sister Feng sighed: "Good people take care of you, it's not that Lan'er has a quota!"

Li Wan nodded: "That's what I said too, I'll just wait and see how far they go!"

As Li Wan spoke, he leaned closer to Sister Feng and whispered, "Do you know how much money the master gave me and Lan'er during the Chinese New Year?"

Sister Feng personally allocated [-] silver to the second room for the New Year. There are only a few people in the second room.

"No matter what, I should give you a thousand or two thousand, mother and child."

Sister Feng's calculation is based on the head. There are seven masters of the second house, and one thousand is counted on each person's head. The rest is enough for Jia Zheng's expenses.

Li Wan scoffed when he heard the words: "One or two thousand? Don't believe me when I tell you, he gave me two hundred silver with Lan'er. He also said that he spent a lot of money outside, and we spent nothing on food and clothing in the mansion. What are you talking about? Gongzhong has already allocated money to me, so it’s possible that we women don’t set up a stove by ourselves, but where are we going to eat with us?”

Li Wan gritted his teeth as he spoke: "You don't know what Aunt Zhao said is more funny!"

Sister Feng raised her eyebrows and said: "What did she say, this money is for the masters of the second house, what does it have to do with her as a servant?"

Li Wan shook his head: "You don't know yet, now that the father-in-law's property is all in the hands of Aunt Zhao, the Rongxi Hall has almost become her world, and she rests in the main room several times. It seems that she has become the head of the house." Mother, so, when we asked for a case, it was like digging out her heart, and she dared to squint her eyes when she saw us."

When Sister Feng heard the words, her eyebrows were raised with anger: "It's against her, resting in the main room of Rongxi Hall? When did you find out what happened, why don't you teach her a lesson?"

These words stepped on Sister Feng's painful feet.

Her serious master hasn't moved in yet, so Aunt Zhao dares to enter the house with ten supernatural things?

Li Wan smiled wryly: "She relies on her father-in-law's presence every time, and her father-in-law supports her. She is being favored. I am a widow and unemployed. How dare I teach her a lesson?"

Sister Feng suddenly smiled: "You bastard, do you want me to pass on the second uncle's story to my ancestors?"

Li Wan stood up and gave a blessing: "Second Aunt is really sweet, as long as Second Aunt can help our mother and son achieve their wishes, I will ask Lan'er to treat you like a mother and be filial to you."

Sister Feng spat: "What do I want you to thank? I just can't understand it. I don't feel sorry for my capable and handsome grandson. I really don't understand such a wretched thing as an apology. This person's taste is really weird. Very much."

Li Wan pursed his lips in amusement, then stopped immediately, with a serious expression on his face.

Sister Feng's eyes were very sharp, she saw it immediately, and threatened Li Wan: "You better tell me if you have anything nice to hear, otherwise, I won't be the receiver."

Only then did Li Wan whisper to Sister Feng: "It is said that Ma Daopo found some strange-shaped little clothes somewhere. I heard Xiao Queer describe those clothes. Hey, I really can't say. That day, You call the little magpie and let her talk."

Sister Feng became more and more interested, and stretched out her hand to scratch Li Wan: "You bastard, you arouse people's interest and hold back, what I want to tell Que'er, I want you to say it, say it quickly!"

Li Wan couldn't bear the itch, so he said: "It is said that the clothes only have a few rags, which can't cover anything. It is said that one night, for some reason, in the middle of the night, the house screamed like a pig. All the servants dared not say a word, and Que'er was worried that Aunt Zhao was going to die, but the next day she came out again to flaunt herself, and they were relieved."
