An old lady's life

The author has something to say: This is the main chapter, it has been replaced, okay~ Jia She and Jia Zheng are not in Rongfu, the brothers and nephew Jia Zhen are in the bookstore, the bookstore has been renovated and is being cleaned.The two brothers, Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng, rolled their sleeves and worked enthusiastically with the servants, while Jia Zhen went to direct the delivery of bookcases, desks, chairs, and stools.

After the cleaning of the bookstore and the library was finished, Jia Zhen came back in the carpenter's carriage. Afterwards, six carpenters assembled the furniture. Naturally, the front bookcases were installed first. The three of Jia Amnesty considered the table. It is necessary to arrange tables, stools, chairs, etc. with the servants, so that they must not be idle.

Because there are too many bookcases, tables, stools, chairs, etc., carpenters can’t finish assembling them in one day. When the sun goes down, they only have to install the bookcases, tables, stools, chairs, etc. in the entire bookstore. Only one-third of the first floor was completed.

The carpenter left and sent the servants away, Jia Zheng locked the door of the bookstore, and the three of them boarded the carriage home.

"Uncle She, Uncle Zheng, I'm so tired, tired and hungry." In the past two months, I ran around with my two uncles, basically doing physical work, and the skin on Jia Zhen's face was tanned. , no longer the boyish face he used to be, but his height has risen steadily, and he is already approaching Jia Amnesty Jia Zheng.

Jia She gave Jia Zhen a white look: "I thought you were used to it, wouldn't it be too late to be wronged?"

"Zhen'er goes back and washes up, eats dinner and digests food before going to bed, so the quality of sleep is very good." Jia Zheng pursed his lips soundlessly. Although his body was very tired, his eyes were bright.

Jia Zhen drooped her eyelids. One day he slept like a dead pig, but he woke up at the o'clock the next day. Without waiting for anyone to remind him, he spontaneously ran to the next door to report.

"Have Zhen'er thought about what to do in the future? You will get married soon after you start a family. You can't go on like this forever." Jia Amnesty muttered, he is now thinking about what he should do after he becomes a filial piety.

Jia Zhen cried and said, "Uncle Xie, I don't know either. I'm sure I won't be able to take the imperial examination, and I'll take martial arts. Although I've become stronger in the past two months, it's not the same thing as being a soldier."

Jia Amnesty couldn't help but patted Jia Zhen: "Poor Zhen'er, it seems that you are destined to be a playboy."

The corner of Jia Zheng's mouth twitched, and sure enough, his elder brother sighed, "I don't know what I should do after my filial piety. It seems that we are bound by fate."

When the uncles and nephews were about to express their emotions, the carriage shook violently a few times. Jia Zheng sat firmly on his seat, with good balance, and did not touch anything. Jia Amnesty and Jia Zhen were different. They were thrown to the ground. He staggered to and fro, at first his head hit the roof of the carriage, and after he fell, he hit the wood again, it hurt him to death, Jia She immediately wanted to scold his mother.

Before opening the curtain, I heard the coachman's trembling voice, "Elder Master, Second Master, the horse is stepping on Eldest Young Master."

What the hell, uncle?Frame that bastard?

Jia She immediately got up from the ground, opened the curtain, and jumped out of the carriage, only to see Qi frame lying on the road with his hands on his chest, unable to get up. He wanted to be a hero at first, but when he saw the people in the carriage, Qi frame suddenly withered It's not good to meet anyone, but I have to meet two brothers-in-law!

Qi Jia turned over and got up and was about to run, but after drinking alcohol, Qi Jia, who was unsteady on his feet, was thrown on the ground by Jia She, who was very angry with this elder brother-in-law.

Seeing this, Jia Zhen also jumped up, and the two of them pressed the same frame to the ground together. Seeing this, Jia Zheng held his forehead and sighed, their relationship with the eldest brother-in-law is really not shallow!

This street is not considered a downtown street, but when an accident happened, spectators immediately surrounded it.

"Qi Frame, have you been drinking?" Jia She gritted his teeth, isn't this bastard afraid that the imperial censor will participate in his stubborn human relations, unfilial and fraternal?

Qi Frame was startled, and kept shaking his head: "I haven't been drinking!" But the next moment, his eyes were bulging, and he hiccupped, smelling like alcohol, "It's been nine months, why can't I drink?"

He pushed and yelled at Jia She, and glared angrily: "Jia Enhou, you are too lenient. You married and obeyed your husband. Your sister married into my Qi family, and I am the head of the family." As he spoke, he rubbed his chest, He muttered: "For the sake of our relatives, I will not pursue the matter of you trampling on me. My brother-in-law is not in charge of my affairs." He staggered on his feet, like a duck walking, staggering , stumbling around, "If my father-in-law doesn't help me, I can always find a noble person to help me."

The onlookers still didn’t know what to do, but guessed from a few words. Jia She glared at the bastard angrily. They will follow the filial piety for a year, so that they can win a good reputation. Compared with a good reputation, it is only three months that they can't get close to women and meat. Nine months have been tolerated, and three months can't be tolerated anymore?This bastard is afraid that nine months have passed and he can't wait to break the precept.

Jia Zhen touched Jia She's arm: "Uncle She, let uncle leave like this?"

Jia She's eyes widened: "Otherwise?" He hadn't forgotten about the frame alignment. The brothers and mother were secretly planning to send him to another place after the assessment period in September. Things went smoothly. Not surprisingly, as soon as September is over, Qi Frame will have to get out of the capital.

Jia Zheng glanced at the sparse crowd beside him, and said, "Brother, let's go." After finishing speaking, he got into the carriage first, and Jia Amnesty muttered, "Why don't you trample that bastard to death!"

Jia Zhen shrank her neck and said, "Uncle She, it's lucky that my uncle was not trampled to death."

In fact, it wasn't stepping on, it was just walking to this intersection, Qi Jia rushed out from the alley, the horse couldn't stop, and kicked Qi Jia out directly with its front hooves raised, the coachman had a good number of horses, otherwise the whole horse would step on it. On Qi Frame, he would shed his skin even if he was not dead.

The Seventh Prince watched a good show in the carriage not far away. He left Zhaojun Palace and passed by here to the Shen University Scholars' Mansion. His County Palace has a basic outline and is expected to be completed before the cold winter.

The seventh prince put down the curtain to let the coachman go on the road, but he thought about Qi frame, don't look down on Qi frame, this person has a good relationship between the eldest brother and the second brother, I don't know if the two elder brothers know about it.Of course, the Seventh Prince only knew by accident that his two subordinates, Wang Minglang and Lu Mingda, do not live in the palace, so it is much more convenient to act outside the palace. After Minglang and Lu Mingda connected in series, they found that Qi frame had contributed the most to it, which made the Seventh Prince amazed.

The Seventh Prince shook his head, shaking Qi frame out of his thoughts, Qi frame is just a small person after all, no matter who the elder brother and second brother are in the future, he will not be able to please him.

The reason why the Seventh Prince went to his grandfather's house this time was because his cousin was already engaged, and his grandfather and uncle invited someone to invite him, it would be too much for him to refuse, so he had to go to the Shen's house.

The seventh prince accompanied his grandfather and uncle to have a drink or two, but the uncle was not happy. He obviously looked up to the nephew, so how much thought would the emperor have to discipline the nephew, but the nephew was still close to his biological father in his heart.

Master Shen stroked his beard and said with a loving smile: "The Seventh Prince has grown up safely, your mother should rest in peace even if she is alive in heaven."

Thinking of his mother, the Seventh Prince's eyes were a little moist.

Shen Rui drank several times of mulled wine, obviously a little tipsy, "Seventh prince, tell uncle, why did you reject Yingying? She is your cousin, and you grew up together as childhood sweethearts."

Master Shen frowned, and sighed deeply in his heart, his son really did not want to die until the Yellow River.

The Seventh Prince immediately felt depressed, and he pursed his lips for a long time before saying: "Uncle, a cousin is also a younger sister, and I only treat the cousin as my own sister."

"Shen Rui, that's enough." Madam Shen sighed, "Don't worry about the Seventh Prince, your uncle just loves Yingying too much. To be honest, there is only one granddaughter in the Shen family, Yingying, who is as precious as a pearl." Grandpa, my grandfather loves her very much. Originally, my grandfather did not object and wanted you cousins ​​to grow up together. If Yingying can take care of you all the time, my grandfather will feel at ease even if he goes immediately. Niece Xiaogu, Yingying grew up with your mother It's very similar, every time I see her, it's like seeing your mother by your side, if she can take care of you on behalf of your mother, it's also her blessing."

After finishing his speech, Master Shen greeted his grandson to eat. The Seventh Prince pondered for a while, chewed a few mouthfuls of food, and said, "Grandfather, my cousin already has a lifetime, so let's live a good life. The cousin does look similar to my mother. I I think if my mother is alive, if she can give birth to a younger sister, I’m afraid she will look the same as her cousin.” He felt that what he said was obvious enough, that his cousin and his mother looked alike, and imitated his mother in demeanor, so no matter how much he missed his mother, he would never miss her. There will be incest thoughts.

Master Shen's heart skipped a beat. This is not the first time that his grandson has emphasized that he treats his granddaughter like his own sister, but after all, he is not a real sister. There are many families where cousins ​​marry each other. Why did his grandson refuse so thoroughly?

The Seventh Prince didn't want to stay in the Shen's house too much, and he left and returned to the palace after a while. After walking out of the Shen's house, he felt that the embarrassment in the air disappeared. He felt that he should come to the Shen's house less in the future, so as not to make everyone feel uncomfortable.

Back in the palace, the Seventh Prince asked Li Qingsheng to wash a peach for him. This peach was given to him by Guard Lou, who said he picked it from the Lin family. Since it was not easy to see him, the old lady gave him his share together. They send it on behalf.

In fact, Ai Cao just mentioned that Lou Gao took away two bags of peaches and asked him to give some to the Seventh and Tenth Princes if it was convenient for him, and make up for them next time.

I heard that half of the peaches in the Lin family were still immature. After hearing about it, Old Ten always wanted to go to the Lin family to pick the peaches himself, maybe he could give himself a vacation.

Lou Gao's two bags of peaches were quickly distributed. Commander Wu took three peaches, gave one to Tang Yuyi, kept one for Emperor Changping, and kept one for himself. As a subordinate, you should always think about your master.

There were only Commander Wu and Emperor Changping in the imperial study room. The two of them ate peaches together. Commander Wu briefly mentioned the physical conditions of the disciples. Of course, the order is important. The apprentices have some physical problems. Although the treatment takes a long time, it will not affect the business. He told the matter to the Tang imperial doctor, and took the prescription to check with the Tang imperial doctor. Only then did he know that the female doctor is the old doctor Situ successor.

Thirty years ago, Situ Mo passed away from the imperial hospital. This year is the 30th year of Changping, that is, it has been 19 years since Emperor Changping became emperor. He was enthroned at the age of 19. When the old imperial doctor Situ was in the imperial hospital, He had just entered the court office not long ago, and he had no contact with the old doctor Situ, but he only knew him.

"Old Physician Situ, the late Emperor was reluctant to leave him when he left, and I will announce that the successor of Old Madam Situ will meet him sometime later. Since Lou Gao and the others treat the illness, they should treat it well. If there is any medicinal material that is lacking, just go to the imperial hospital to get it. They can’t be without them.”

Emperor Changping was very kind and honest, Lou Gao and the others were very easy to use, and they knew how to measure, and they never clinged to the courtiers all these years, so he was very relieved of them.

However, the imperial guards really shouldn't just be in the hands of Lou Gao and the other five. It seems that a few more people can be added to the position of deputy commander. Emperor Changping made a decision after thinking for a while.

It's just a question of who these five people should choose.

Emperor Changping thought about it calmly, of course there is no rush, take your time.

Jia Amnesty returned to Rong Mansion full of anger, but Jia Zhen didn't follow. He was tired and hungry, so he ran back to his house to take a hasty bath, and ate a lot. Seeing his gobbling, Xu saw him gobbled it up, especially his son. She was very thin in two months, and it hurts so much to treat her as a mother.

Xu hesitated to speak, her son was away all day, and she could only see her for a limited time. Emotionally, she wanted to stop her son from running out, but she told her rationally that it would be harming her son, so Xu had to stare at him all day. As long as you eat, be sure to let your son eat and drink well.

"Ma'am, is grandfather awake?"

Mrs. Xu nodded with a smile: "Of course, the old man is awake at this time every day." The old man has to talk to his grandson every day to be at ease.

After eating and drinking enough, Jia Zhen took talking with her grandfather as a way to digest food. In less than a quarter of an hour, her grandfather would drive him away and just go back to sleep in his own yard.

Jia Amnesty complained to his mother about Qi Frame, and then asked: "Mom, has there been any news from the Ministry of Officials? Which local officials will be vacant this time? What can Qi Frame do? The county magistrate is afraid The official is small, and the magistrate has no ability, so he can only choose from the magistrates and fellow magistrates."

Jia Zheng closed his eyes and rested his mind. He didn't have any objection to his mother and elder brother's determination to get the elder brother-in-law away.

Hongye thought for a while, and said: "There are vacancies for Tongzhi and Zhizhou in Qizhou or Shudu. I am wondering whether to let him go directly to Shudu. It happens that your uncle and two cousins ​​are also there, and there are people watching. he."

The mother and son discussed it for a while, and then they made up their minds, planning to make a good run and let Qi frame get out of the capital.

Of course, there is an accident in everything, no one can say for sure!

Imagining Qi Frame knowing that Shudu came to question them, imagining his face livid with anger, Jia She felt much better.

The next day, it was Jia Hu's turn to rest every seven days. Not long after Jia She and Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen arrived at the bookstore, Yu Qiu brought Jia Hu and Jia Zhu to the bookstore to help.

Of course, when they came, Zhou He had already arrived first, and saw the clean and tidy bookstore in front. Compared with the crowded appearance of other stores, the bookstore had a wide view.Let’s look at the bookstore at the back. The bookcases have not been installed yet, so you can’t see them, but everyone has been busy all day. The carpenter assembled the bookcases. After the bookcases and tables were installed, you can see the bookcases on the first floor. There is not a single book above, but imagine that everyone will study here in the future, in a quiet environment, with a strong reading atmosphere, how happy it will be for these scholars.

After another three days of busy work, all the bookcases, tables, chairs and benches in the library are finally displayed, and the books are waiting for the books to be placed in the bookcases.

After that, it is time to put the books into the bookcase one after another. This is another huge project, which requires classification, labeling, and accounting for each book. At first, the speed is very slow. up.

In this way, June was almost over, and the entire library and bookstore were completed, but the library still lacked a lot of books.

The Rong Mansion's collection of books was not completely moved into the library. Jia She and Jia Zheng took advantage of a sunny day to take out all the books for drying, and took this opportunity to classify these books. Daily habits are labeled.Some duplicate books were moved out and put into the library, and Jia Zheng put some rare books aside alone, planning to wait for him to copy a copy before putting it in the library.

July [-]th is an auspicious day, and the bookstore chose to open on this day. Before that, Jia Zheng ran for several days to find a small private printing workshop to print [-] copies of advertising leaflets.

As the name suggests, the advertisement was widely advertised. It cost more than 20 taels of silver to print [-] copies of the advertisement leaflets, but Jia Zheng was very distressed. The bookstore was not open yet, and the money was continuously spent.It was Hong Ye who mentioned the advertisement flyer naturally, and she just mentioned it. Is there any way for scholars to know the existence of Guiyuan Bookstore faster?

Hongye slowly led the two brothers to think of sending out advertising leaflets. Although printing advertising leaflets requires a certain amount of money, but they are reluctant to let the children do nothing. There will be no profit in the early stage. When Guiyuan Bookstore becomes famous If it is typed out, the bookstore will naturally continue to operate.

The general manager of printing and engraving is in the Division of Rites. The Director of the Division of Rites is in charge of the important event of printing and engraving in the world. Every year, a list will be submitted from below, which will be signed by the Director of the Division of Rites. Generally speaking, the official printing factory will not Those who are made things difficult are all small private printing workshops.Of course, there will be a branch of the Rites Department in every place, and the branch only needs to report its performance to the head of the Rites Division.

However, those who can own a small private workshop are generally not young, and most people in the chief division of Lili can't afford to offend, so the position of the chief executive is not so easy to sit.

Jia Zheng has solemnly written a post to those who are close to him, asking everyone to come to the bookstore when they are free on July [-]th.

When Jia Min received the post written by the second brother, she couldn't help being a little funny. The second brother was too cautious, and he believed it when he sent someone to deliver a message. She would go to the second brother's bookstore to cheer.

When Lin Hai came back and saw the invitation, he nodded: "It happens that I don't need to enter the palace from the [-]th, and I will help my second brother on the [-]th."

Jia Min looked at him curiously, "Why don't you need to enter the palace?"

Lin Haibin changed his official uniform and said, "Isn't it already very hot today? The emperor just issued an order to leave the camp and go to the palace to escape the summer heat." After a pause, Lin Hai said helplessly, "I don't have to go with you in the Imperial Academy. But in the Department of General Affairs, from the envoys to the councilors, all have to go to the palace, and I still get reports from the emperor every day."

Walking in front of the emperor every day, Lin Hai thought that the emperor would test him for something, but there was nothing. The emperor took time to ask him about the memorial. For some memorials, the emperor would usually ask him what important or urgent memorials he had, and let him pick them out, and he would review them first.

Jia Min's eyes lit up: "Our family has a Zhuangzi near the Xinggong. Does Ruhai want to live on Zhuangzi or in the official office of the Xinggong? Ruhai is going to go for a month, so I should go together."

Lin Hai wanted to nod, but hesitated again, "Ask your mother first, we're both gone, so it's not okay to leave mother and Nuan Nuan behind."

Hearing this, Jia Min nodded.

After a while, when the family was having dinner, Lin Hai mentioned this matter, Ai Cao immediately nodded and said: "Min'er will go with you, you will go for a month, and it won't work without Min'er by your side to help take care of it. As for me He Nuan Nuan, do we two adults have anything to worry about?"

Lin Hai still hesitated, and Ai Cao continued, "Don't worry, I may come to Zhuangzi to look for you in a few days." She planned to take Lin Nuan to Su's Manor to see the children first, but she hadn't been there for more than a month. On Zhuangzi, it's just correspondence. I don't know what happened to the children on Zhuangzi.

Lin Hai couldn't beat his mother, so he had to agree.

Ai Cao suddenly understood: "I said that boy Hao Ding said he came to pick peaches, but he didn't come to pick peaches. I think they are all busy with the emperor's travel."

Speaking of Hao Ding and the others, Ai Cao said again: "Isn't Lou Gao and Hao Ding's medicine only available for one month? They will be in the palace for the whole month of July. It seems that Nuan Nuan and I are bound to find you."

Lin Nuan rolled her eyes and drooped her head after a while. She couldn't see Lou Gao at all in Beijing, so how could she develop a relationship?

On the [-]th day, the sun had just jumped out of the clouds and spread heat on the earth. It was still morning, and the air was already so hot.

Guiyuan Bookstore opened for business today. Jia She, Jia Zheng, and Jia Zhen were busy. Jia Jing, Lin Hai and Tian Gaojie were only entertaining guests at the door. They already knew the general rules of today’s bookstore. All books and papers in the bookstore are discounted at [-]%, and they will help introduce customers when they come to the door.

At the same time, Jia Zheng sent his servants to the outer cities to distribute advertisement leaflets, especially in places with a lot of students, such as Yueyang Tower and the bookshops on the downtown street.Many people are curious, who is so rich and powerful, these papers cost money, and distributing paper is equivalent to distributing money.

A few strings of firecrackers went off, and the neighbors came out to watch the excitement. The neighbors were curious, who thought that the bookstore was located in this remote place, and the surrounding area is all residential areas, so it is very deserted. Opening a bookstore can make money. ?

Ai Cao didn't come to watch the excitement, Jia Min and Lin Nuan came, Qi Frame didn't come, Jia Siyao made a special trip, the three female relatives were in the study building behind.

Jia Siyao said full of emotion: "Second brother has been busy for several months, and it's really not easy for him to put in so much effort. But it's so quiet here, it's really suitable for reading."

Lin Nuan kept looking at the labels on the bookcase, and she saw that there were medical books classified, but there were only two or three of them, and they were all about medicinal materials, and there were no more in-depth and detailed ones.

"Second brother has put all his energy into this library except for reading." Jia Min sighed, and didn't say anything later.

About half an hour later, Jia Min heard someone approaching the library at the back. Jia Min pulled Lin Nuan and followed Jia Siyao out of the library from the back, and entered the garden at the back, intending to take a detour.

It took so long for the bookstore to open, only five people came, they were still Yu Qiu's classmates, but Jia Zheng was not in a hurry, Lin Hai and Tian Gaojie had already sunk into the books in the bookcase.

It was around mid-afternoon that a scholar brought an advertising leaflet to find it. He saw that all the books, pens, inks, papers and inkstones were relatively cheap three days before the opening.

But when he came here, he found that it was worth it.The books in the bookstore are very comprehensive, but the prices are much cheaper than other places. After being introduced into the bookstore behind, he found that he came to the treasure land. There are many books in it that cannot be bought outside. Allow yourself to copy one.And there are a lot of empty tables in the library for them to read quietly.

So throughout the afternoon, a total of more than a dozen scholars came looking for the leaflets. Jia Zheng felt a little relieved.
