An old lady's life

There is something for the son to do his best, and Hongye handed over the matter to Jia She, and Jia She was very worried.Especially as Lao Zhou returned with more information, he became more and more worried.

This is a feudal dynasty, the emperor is as big as the sky, the royal family has a high status, and the people have extraordinary respect and recognition for the emperor and the prince.

Jia She is a pure ancient man who grew up with the most orthodox etiquette education. Although history told him that many princes could not succeed in enthroning as emperor, maybe being a prince is not as comfortable as the heir of a prince, but he still hopes that the prince can be the emperor. The next emperor.

Just looking at the prince's increasingly out-of-the-ordinary behavior, Jia She secretly thought, the prince is looking for death!

Seeing him like this, Hongye was a little bit speechless when he was like "worries about the prince first", the prince is not in a hurry, why is he worried about being an outsider?

In mid-March, the weather in the capital and its surrounding areas has improved. The weather is still hotter than last year, but at least it rains every three to five nights. The rain cannot soak the soil, but it brings vitality to the plants.

At the same time, outside the capital city, due to Emperor Changping's will, more and more memorials were submitted to the imperial court, and the weather conditions in various places in Dafeng were presented in the court hall.

Except for the area in the south of the Yangtze River, which has a humid climate, there are signs of drought in various degrees in other places, especially the areas that radiate from the west to the surrounding areas.

It is not enough to worry about weather changes, but also to worry about personnel changes.

Jia Jing had a result, but Jia Amnesty was extremely at a loss regarding the matter of the three elder brothers.

Old Master Zhang was originally one of the prince's teachers, so he was naturally very close to the prince, and the relationship between the three brothers of the Zhang family and the prince was also extraordinary.

It's just that Jia Amnesty knew that the prince's position was very dangerous, so he began to worry about the situation of the Yue family.

Lao Zhou and the others sent people to follow up on the situation of the three brothers of the Zhang family. Because the three were extra cautious, the progress was not smooth, and it took a long time.

At the end of March, Jia Amnesty finally got a stack of notes from Lao Zhou, all of which said that on a certain day of a certain year, a certain master of the Zhang family met a certain person.Among them, the number of meetings between the three brothers of the Zhang family and the prince is not infrequent.

In the study room of the East Courtyard, Jia She arranged them according to the time, carefully read them one by one, recalled the court officials, and carefully distinguished them. After a long time, Jia She sighed a little, what should I do if the swelling is swollen?The Zhang family seems to be in the prince's camp naturally. If something happens to the prince, how can we get them out of it?

Eh, no, why is he so sure that something will happen to the crown prince?The emperor is not young now, maybe the crown prince can ascend the throne smoothly, then the Zhang family will rise with the tide.

Jia Amnesty put the notes away and went to Rongxi Hall to find his mother.

Seeing Jia She's arrival, Hong Ye was not surprised at all. He spread out the notes one by one in front of his mother, explaining them one by one, and finally got a little depressed: "Mother, the Zhang family is naturally from the prince's side."

Hongye raised her eyebrows, and stretched out her hand to grab the note in front of her, "Your three uncles have an extraordinary relationship with the prince. Your third uncle is young and has a bit of vigor. These conversations are meaningless. The exchanges are normal, but something is wrong with your first uncle and second uncle, the language is too flattering, maybe they are too old to be confused, and they don't have the spirit of fighting, so they want to take a shortcut."

Jia Amnesty's brows were all wrinkled, he grabbed the crumpled clothes in front of him, and sighed, "Then what should we do?"

Hong Ye tapped the table with her hand, hitting Jia She's heart again and again, "How well do you know your father-in-law? How does he treat the prince? If you think it's feasible, you might as well talk to your father-in-law."

She glanced at Jia She, and Jia She felt a chill down his spine, "However, we must not reveal anything about the Zhuangzi, otherwise it will be unfavorable to the Zhang family. If we don't match the frame, can we still pretend to be dumb now that we can speak?"

Jia She's heart skipped a beat, framing that bastard, even if he still has a bit of love for his son.

"Let me think about it." He scratched his head and walked away lazily grabbing a pile of papers. Hong Ye shook her head amusedly, thinking of Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng's natal family, comparing Zhang's and Wang's, I don't know which two to say Which one is better.Of course, if she is not a 'prophet', in fact, according to Jia She's situation, she has no right to dislike the Zhang family.

Thinking of Mrs. Wang, Hongye turned around and ordered a little maid to go to the west courtyard to call her. Mrs. Wang came very quickly. She knew what her mother-in-law was looking for her to do. Ever since she practiced calligraphy, her mother-in-law liked to ask her to copy things.Sure enough, she looked at the table in front of her mother-in-law, and saw that it was rather messy, with many papers of different sizes scattered everywhere.

Wang's blessing salutes, she used to dare to be eloquent in front of her mother-in-law, but now that her mother-in-law is getting more and more unpredictable, she is less and less afraid to be presumptuous in front of her mother-in-law.

Hongye nodded: "These test questions are copied on a large piece of paper according to the old rules."

Mrs. Wang agreed respectfully, without any reluctance in her heart, anyway, the final test paper will be in the master's hands, and the master will write the answer on this piece of paper, which has the handwriting of the two of them. Its profit breaks gold, the master is so diligent, he will definitely pass the imperial examination!

For the test papers issued by Hongye, she prepared the answers for the Dafeng law test, but she did not have the answers for the autumn test and spring questions that were given to Jia Zheng alone. Please trouble Mrs. Zhang.

The questions of the autumn test and the spring test were all pondered by Hongye after reading the examination papers of each exam since Emperor Changping ascended the throne. The world is changing obviously, and the rules are easier to grasp. I don't know how much I can win this time.

Mrs. Wang copied it very carefully, and finished the test paper in half an hour. When the ink was dry, she folded the test paper and put it in front of her mother-in-law.

Then listen to the teachings of the mother-in-law.

Hongye did not teach Wang Shi verbally, but told her stories. The stories about women throughout the ages have never said that these things cannot be done, those things cannot be done, but after listening to it for so long, Wang Shi will also reflect on it. .

Recently, Hongye was telling Wang about the background and names of the Dream of Red Mansions. In the middle, she also asked Wang for her opinion. As a housewife, what kind of foresight should she have to educate her children well and avoid the danger in the court?

Wang Shi was speechless, she had only read a few books, how could she have the guts to compete with a man?Besides, the male leads the outside and the female leads the inside, why should she be with a man as a woman?

Seeing her expression of disapproval, Hongye felt a little amused in her heart when she expressed all her thoughts.Husband and wife are honorable, now Jia Zheng has further possibilities, that's why the Wang family is so at ease, if it is like in the Red Chamber, Jia Zheng will not be able to pass the imperial examination for the rest of his life, and he will not be promoted if he stays in the position of doctor of the fifth-rank Ministry of Industry for more than ten years , and there are countless Yingyingyanyans in the backyard, I'm afraid she will really turn black.

On the way back to the west courtyard, Mrs. Wang was still thinking about the story told by her mother-in-law. There are quite a lot of characters in this story, but the third wife in it, like her, followed the upbringing of "a woman without talent is virtue" since she was a child, and was illiterate. But it's like a snake's heart... Could it be that the mother-in-law is alluding to her?how can that be possible?She has a harmonious relationship with the master and his wife. Although she has some discord with her sister-in-law, it is harmless, and her dowry is generous, so how could she plan on her niece's fortune?Does she still want to be human?

Shaking her head, Mrs. Wang went back to the west courtyard, waiting for Jia Zheng and his son to come back.

Whoever said it would come, Jia Zhu rushed into the yard like the wind, and saw her mother sitting on the porch, with a rose flower beside her in full bloom.

"Mother, mother." He held a piece of drawing paper in his hand, which he drew with his elder brother and husband in the garden just now. Jia Zhu had already been officially enlightened, and Yu Qiu taught him the enlightenment book from the beginning. It's fast, after all, I've been with my brother for more than a year, and I've learned a lot of words, so reading can get twice the result with half the effort.

Jia Zhu rushed into Wang's arms, and Wang turned her head to look at the drawing paper her son had unfolded in front of her, and saw that the figures, flowers and plants painted on it had already taken shape.

The whole family has no complaints about his son's persistent painting of family portraits. From the initial few strokes to the outlines of the characters, this is the result of his practice.

"Pearl's painting is just right, is this my mother?" You may not be able to recognize it before, but now you can tell who is who from the shape of the face and clothes.

Jia Zhu nodded hurriedly, pointing to everyone in the painting with her little finger, "Mother, father, younger brother, elder brother." When Jia Lian was not born, there was no Jia Lian in the painting, and after Jia Lian was born, he naturally took up a corner of the painting.

"Grandmother, uncle, aunt." The child's clear and clear voice said, "Huahua." He pointed to the red flower behind his mother, "beautiful." The child changed the subject quickly, and said, "Little San It’s too bad, and you still want to tear my painting, if I didn’t run fast, my painting girl wouldn’t be able to see it.”

Mrs. Wang laughed a little: "No matter what, you can't bully my younger brother. You are an older brother, and my younger brother is not sensible yet. Let him go."

Jia Zhu rolled her eyes, folded her painting, and stuffed it into her mother's arms, "Mother, hide it for me, so that Lian'er can't find it." He grabbed his mother's leg and said solemnly, "Don't worry, mother, I I won't bully my younger brother, but Lian'er is too naughty, my elder brother will teach him." Hehe, elder brother still likes him the most.

Jia Zhu's graffiti works in the past two years have been well collected by Wang, and they are placed on the shelf in the study. Sometimes she will take them out to reflect with the master.

When Jia Zheng came back, Mrs. Wang took out Jia Zhu's new painting as a treasure, and stayed in the library all day. Jia Zheng would be a little tired and couldn't turn his head, so he would usually stop reading when he came back. Get along with your family and relieve fatigue. After a night's rest, your condition will return the next day.

"Pearl's new painting? It's better than last time." Jia Zheng said with joy. His son's paintings have always been full of spirituality. This is what Jia Zheng is quite proud of. Thinking that he was taught by a teacher in the ethnology school when he was a child He was full of ingenuity, and he decided that no matter what, he could not send his son to the ethnology, unless the ethnology was rectified.

Huh, rectify ethnology?Jia Zheng thought distractedly, this is possible, but he has to wait until after he takes the imperial examination, or teach it to his cousin and Jia Zhen.

Jia Zheng wanted to take some time to chat with his cousin.

Wang and You Rongyan immediately took down the box from the bookshelf, took out Jia Zhu's recent paintings and placed them one by one, so that they could be compared, especially the one from a year ago and the one from today. obvious difference.

After admiring the paintings, Wang started nagging again, "How is the master today?" Without waiting for Jia Zheng to reply, she continued: "Mother gave you three more test papers, and I copied one today." The mother-in-law really has perseverance. Since last year, she has given the master exam questions, and the content is extremely difficult.

Jia Zheng's eyes lit up, and he suppressed the excitement in his heart, "That's great, I can ask Mrs. Zhang for advice after finishing a test paper." I bought it, or the students communicate with each other, you give me a question to test me, I give a question to test you, and urge each other.

Jia Amnesty was still thinking, and the exam came as scheduled.The test was naturally the Dafeng Law. The participant Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen, corrected the test papers on the spot. The process was skipped. Can't pass [-] points, but Jia She scored higher than Jia Zheng on the question of judging the case.

Hongye knew it well, Jia Amnesty used it flexibly, Jia Zheng still lacked flexibility, and Jia Zhen didn't mention it, this time she scored 35 points in the test, and her score did not drop.

In the next day, Jia Zheng finished one of the three sets of test papers produced by Hongye. Of course, he and Yu Qiu did it together. The two planned to take the test papers to the Zhang family to ask for advice the next day. The location is Guiyuan Book Building.

Jia Zheng realized later: "Brother, do you have anything to ask the old man?"

Jia Amnesty coughed and nodded: "Well, it's not easy to go to Zhang's residence, besides, I haven't seen my father-in-law for a while, please give him a greeting."

It was settled like this, when Mrs. Zhang heard that Jia She was going to see her father tomorrow, she immediately took the purse, fan pendant, etc., which Mrs. Zhang took time to make for her parents, and she just asked Jia She to bring them to her father.

The next day, Guiyuan Bookstore opened its doors around Chenshi. Manager Tian, ​​Xiaoer and the others had just tidied up the bookstore, and the bookstore at the back was also cleaned naturally.

At Chenshi, some students arrived, and after a while, there were already 30 people sitting on the first floor of the library.

Jia Zheng and Yu Qiu went to the library first, and Jia She came later with his son and nephew. When he came, Mrs. Zhang had already arrived and was explaining the contents of the test paper to Jia Zheng and Yu Qiu on the second floor.

Jia Hu and Jia Zhu went up to the second floor faster than anyone else, and Jia She followed slowly.

Mrs. Zhang glanced at her son-in-law, then at her grandson with a smile, reached out and touched the heads of the two children, and continued the unfinished explanation.

It took half an hour to explain this set of test papers. Jia Zheng and Yu Qiu took notes meticulously. They only had eyes for the test papers and Mrs. Zhang who explained the test papers.

After the explanation, Jia Zheng and Yu Qiu went to the other side to comprehend it, devoting themselves to it, and Mrs. Zhang stroked his beard, full of satisfaction.

"Tell me, what are you looking for me for?" Mrs. Zhang knew that her son-in-law was looking for him, otherwise she would not have written to him.

Jia Amnesty took out the things Mrs. Zhang had brought, "Father-in-law, this was brought by Mrs. Jingshu. I originally planned to have someone take it back in a few days. When I knew I came to see you, let me bring it to you."

Mrs. Zhang's expression dropped: "Jingshu is not in good health, and the show hurts her eyes. Don't do it in the future. I can't use up all these things." But the movements of his hands were not slow, and he put everything into his sleeves Here, no one is left behind.

Jia She rolled her eyes, "Jing Shu took a long time to do these things, don't worry, I won't make her tired."

The old man Zhang immediately smiled, and the more he looked at this son-in-law, the more satisfied he became, "What do you want me for? Tell me directly."

Jia She turned around and sat next to Mrs. Zhang, lowered her voice to ensure that it would not be heard by others, "Father-in-law, what is your attitude towards the prince now?"

Mrs. Zhang's face suddenly became serious, but he was old, his face was frowning a lot, and the change in expression was not too obvious.

"What do you want to say?" His lips didn't move much, but Jia She could hear the voice.

Jia Amnesty grabbed his arm and continued to whisper: "Father-in-law, I haven't done nothing in the past three years at home. I am also paying attention to the affairs of the emperor, especially the behavior of the prince these years. He built an outhouse outside the palace, and there are many men and women in it, which is not what a prince should do, and one of the outhouses is already five months pregnant."

The old man Zhang continued to stare at him, and Jia She continued: "These things about the prince are not something we can comment on, but father-in-law, because you are the teacher of the prince, the relationship between the Zhang family and the prince is very close. No matter what the prince does, you will not be involved. But as far as I know, the relationship between the three uncles and the prince is extraordinary, if the prince is a qualified prince, the son-in-law will never say such words."

Mrs. Zhang listened to it, and thought a lot for a while. He was not completely ignorant of the prince's affairs. He didn't know about it secretly, but it was true that the prince was becoming more and more impetuous.

"The dispute between the crown prince and the king of Sujun is already at the point of life and death, and the king of Xiangjun and the king of Gongjun are secretly stirring up the muddy water. The way of the prince is not stable."

"I see. Let's meet again in two days to communicate." Mrs. Zhang needs to go back to fully understand the situation of her sons. Is the situation really getting out of hand?

When Mrs. Zhang returned to the Zhang Mansion, he asked his confidants to investigate. Regarding the crown prince and his three sons, no matter how capable and fast the confidantes were, it would take time.

Five days later, his confidant handed in a piece of information, and Mrs. Zhang read it carefully. Although the relationship between the sons and the prince was considered normal, judging from these clues and the situation of the prince, some things were really hard to say. .

Thinking back to his son-in-law who thought he had accomplished nothing, Mrs. Zhang looked a little complicated.He called the three sons to his side, cared for them as usual, but consciously guided them to talk about the disputes between the court, the prince and other princes, and he couldn't help but feel sad when he heard their words of obviously favoring the prince If the son-in-law hadn't reminded him, he would only know if the Zhang family stumbled.

Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Zhang met again in the Guiyuan Book Building. Before many students came to the library to read books, the two sons-in-law were discussing matters on the second floor.

"What does Enhou think I should do?" Mrs. Zhang wanted to test the school's son-in-law.

Jia She was a little dazed, but he came back to his senses when he heard his father-in-law's words, "Father-in-law, if you try to send the first and second uncles to other places, it's not the kind of retention, or the duty of patrolling, you can do it in Dafeng Walk around, inspect on behalf of the emperor, and avenge the people." After a pause, he still said, "This year and next two years will be fine."

This time was repeatedly emphasized by his mother. He didn't understand it, but he remembered it in his heart after listening too much.

As soon as Mrs. Zhang heard this, he began to plan in his mind. This is feasible, and it will neither seem to alienate the prince deliberately, nor make the prince suspicious.Just why this year and next year?Could it be... His heart skipped a beat, and he looked at his son-in-law with burning eyes.

Jia She's eyes wandered, he was guilty at first, but in the eyes of Mrs. Zhang, he became unspeakable.

On the way back to Rongfu, Jia Amnesty was not in a high mood, but when the carriage stopped in front of Rongfu, he became that cynical, indifferent, laughing person again.

On the way to Rongxi Hall, I saw my nephew and son, bent down and picked up the two cubs, amused me for a while, and my mood improved a lot, and then I appeared in front of my mother.

Hongye handed over all the choices to Jia She, and she naturally guessed that Jia She would not ignore the Zhang family.

"Mother, the way my father-in-law looks at me is quite scary." His expression was a little embarrassed. Could it be that he just said more this time, and his father-in-law can still imagine him as a highly talented counselor?

Hey, he is not the reincarnation of Zhuge Liang, and he will never reach Zhuge Liang's wisdom.In fact, Zhuge Liang's rebirth is the heroine who hides behind him!

Hong Ye nodded: "What did you tell your father-in-law, let's listen to it." She didn't give Jia She any advice on what to do, it depends on Jia She's own wisdom.

Jia She said it again, Hongye nodded again, he hesitated and said: "Mother, you keep talking about this year and next year, what is the purpose of this time?"

Hongye shook her head: "You will know in the future, you can't say it now." It seems that this guy has started to think independently, not bad, seeing his growth.

Jia She was immediately discouraged, mother, how could you do this?I have told him such a big thing, what else can intimidate him?Don't underestimate him!

But with one important matter on his mind, Jia She was in a better mood and ate an extra bowl of rice in the evening.

The author has something to say: Replaced.
