An old lady's life

The exchange and study between the academy and the academy is just a trivial matter, and it has not caused any disturbance in Beijing. The Guozijian already has an excess of teachers, and sending them abroad will not cause the Guozijian to have no teachers to teach.

Under Jia Amnesty’s attention, the Guozijian was released after three days. A total of 12 people went to Jianlu Academy. The other gentlemen were fine. .

But for Zhang Ze, the second son of the Zhang family, he is a bit dumbfounded. He is just a registered official in the Imperial College, and he still has serious errands. .

Two days later, at Maoshizheng, the East City Gate opened, and Jia Amnesty sent Zhang Ze away with his third uncle, several older nephews, Mrs. Zhang's second wife's natal brothers, and so on, just like the last time he sent Zhang Tao off. Naturally, the Zhang family was not the only one here. One person, and the other husband's family members also came to see him off.

At this time, the sky was already bright, the clouds and mists had dispersed, and there were strands of red clouds in the sky. Jia She looked up at the sky, bid farewell to everyone, and planned to return home.

The third child of the Zhang family stopped him again, and under Jia Amnesty's doubts, he squinted his eyes and said, "I'll talk to Enhou." After speaking, he took the lead and stepped into the carriage.

Jia Amnesty rubbed his nose, followed into the carriage, the curtain was lowered, no one could see what was going on inside, and only the voices could be heard.

The carriage moved forward for a certain distance, Zhang Yang kept staring at Jia She, Jia She shuddered, and said flatteringly: "Third brother, is there anything you need my brother-in-law to do? Just tell me." Don't look at it that way Look at me, it's scary!Could it be that the third uncle blamed the second uncle's assignment on him again?Wrong, he doesn't have that much ability.

Zhang Yang sneered: "Marquis Jia En, tell me honestly, what are you and your father planning? Why did father send the eldest brother and second brother out of the capital? Is it my turn to be next?"

Jia Amnesty blinked, and said blankly, "Third brother, did you drink alcohol this morning? How can you be talking nonsense?"

Zhang Yang rested his hands on his knees, staring at Jia She for a moment, trying to find the slightest clue from Jia She's face, this gaze made Jia She frightened.

"Third brother, if you keep staring at me like this, I'll go back and tell Jing Shu that you're bullying me again!"

When Jia She said this, Zhang Yang was so angry that his teeth itch. They said that girls are extroverted. His younger sister, who is as precious as jewels, married this dude, and would fight against his brother for defending this dude. The water that goes out cannot be recovered.

Of course, the above are the thoughts that Zhang Yang and the three brothers magnified when they were eating, but Zhang Yang was still upset when he heard Jia She said this again.

Zhang Yang stood up, leaned over and put his hands on Jia She's shoulders, and said with a half-smile, "Don't tell me about him, Marquis Jia En, you are so capable, you managed to hide it from me." Of course, this matter was led by his father. , but there must always be a reason, but he checked and checked, his father and old friends chatted as usual, and the only person who had too much contact was Jia She, so the problem must be Jia She.

No, his father also sent a letter, the contents of which he had no way of knowing, but he did know where the letter was sent to, so he knew that his second brother was sent out by his father again.

Jia She opened his mouth as if he was very surprised: "Third brother, what exactly do you want to say? Does the work of the eldest brother and the second brother have anything to do with me?" He laughed out loud, "Third brother, you are so interesting. This I'll go back and tell Jingshu about it, so that she will be happy too."

Jia Amnesty doesn't know why these three uncles are sure that this matter has something to do with him, but he refuses to admit it, and besides, he really didn't do anything, it was all done by his father-in-law, he is still white now, and he is still looking forward to the end of the filial piety Jue, it’s good to be a legitimate master of the Rong Mansion. If he can deal with officials of the fifth and sixth ranks, officials of the fourth rank and above are all decided by the emperor arbitrarily, and no one can manipulate them. At most, the emperor can ask some ministers for their opinions. , ministers can also recommend, but the final decision is still the emperor.Regarding the matter of the second uncle, the Imperial Academy did not give orders, and the group of literati looked down on a person like him who was not productive.

Zhang Yang frowned, Jia Amnesty broke third uncle's hand and said, "Third Brother, I am going back to the mansion, do you want to come with me to Rong Mansion as a guest?"

"Enhou, it's best that this matter has nothing to do with you, otherwise I will find out about it in the end, and we have to go to the training ground to practice." Zhang Yang stood up, flicked his sleeves, stopped the carriage, and opened the car. Lian jumped out of the carriage in one step.

Jia Amnesty looked at the third uncle in bewilderment, opened a corner of the curtain, and waved: "Third brother, see you later. Come to Rongfu tomorrow, and my brother-in-law will treat you with good wine and food."

Zhang Yang got into his carriage, looked back at Jia She, and muttered, this guy looks much more pleasing to the eye than before.

But Jia She, who put down the curtain, heaved a sigh of relief, but he thought about it in his heart. He practiced as soon as he practiced.

In the carriage, Zhang Yang was still a little uncomfortable, he couldn't figure it out after thinking about it, and he returned to Zhang's house early after staying in the household department for less than half an hour.After asking the housekeeper, knowing that the old man did not leave the mansion today, he went directly to see his father.

Mrs. Zhang is talking to Mrs. Zhang. Mrs. Zhang has been sulking with this old man recently. Obviously her son is doing a good job, but she wants to send them out. This old man must have had a seizure.

As soon as Zhang Yang came, he heard his mother complaining, thinking that he came at a bad time, why don't he come back later?

Seeing his third son, Mrs. Zhang said with a stern face, "Aren't you in the yamen? Why are you back at this time?"

"Father, mother." Zhang Yang bowed, Mrs. Zhang rolled her eyes at the third son, and left with a straight face. The third son was obviously looking for the old man, so she would not leave any trouble.

The sun had already come out and it was already hot outside, so Zhang Yang helped his father into the study. Outside the study was a clump of bamboo, which blocked the sun in the morning, so the study was not so hot.

"Father, let me explain clearly. Why did you send the eldest brother and the second brother out? Is it my turn next?"

Old Mrs. Zhang glared: "Look at how many years you have been in the household department and you are still a fifth-rank official. You are a bit clever. What can you do when you are sent out?"

Zhang Yang blushed, and his father transferred all his ability to bear it from his mother to him.

"It didn't take long." He had been in the doctor's position for six years, and he kept his eyes on the household servant's position if he didn't want to move, but this position was very sought-after, even if he came from the Zhang family, it was not so easy to get it.

Old Mrs. Zhang stared again: "How dare you talk back? You've been enjoying yourself recently, kid. Is the flower wine delicious?"

Zhang Yang twitched his mouth, thinking how to answer this question, when his father scolded, "You brat, don't think that you are going to be a grandfather soon, so I won't dare to teach you a lesson? It's fair for you to go eat flower wine Qi?"

The voice was not low, the servants outside the study room heard it, Zhang Yang's face darkened, and he was afraid that the third wife would make him look bad later.

"It's getting hotter and hotter today, I can't stand it, your elder brother and second brother are out of Beijing, anyway, you have a lot of free time, and you still have time to drink flowers and wine, so come back early every day to serve me." The old man Zhang held his chest and complained that he was uncomfortable, which caused Zhang Yang's face to change. He immediately took the post in the mansion and sent someone to invite the imperial physician.

As a result, after the imperial doctor saw it, he didn't diagnose any major illnesses. He only said that when people are old, various problems will appear on the body. This is a normal phenomenon of aging, and it is getting hotter and hotter today. However, it is not advisable to use too much ice, otherwise the cold and heat will alternate, and the body of the elderly will not be able to bear it.

His father was ill, so Zhang Yang had to return to the mansion early every day to take care of his father. All the banquets among his colleagues were postponed. tone.Of course, this is something.

This time, Jia She returned to Rong Mansion as if nothing had happened. He didn't mention his negotiation with Zhang Yang to Mrs. Zhang, but just said something just now at the breakfast table. Mrs. Zhang nodded when she heard it, and she and Mother communicates frequently, so she knows a thing or two about the Zhang family.My mother wrote a letter the day before yesterday complaining that my father didn't know what he was thinking, and he took the eldest brother and the second brother out of the capital one after another to get their qualifications. The mother was worried about the son traveling a long way, and Zhang could only write back to comfort the mother. It is a good thing for the brothers to make progress.

After breakfast, Jia She took his son to digest food and came back from a walk. It was time for the children to study. Jia She was in a good mood today, so he personally sent his son to class.

As soon as he came back from the garden, a young man ran back and forth, "Master, a young master named An Xian came to the concierge, and he said he was introduced by his father-in-law."

Jia She slapped his head violently, seeing that the boy was hesitant to speak, he said in a bluff, "Just say what you want."

The servant followed Jia Amnesty and replied, "Master, Mr. An's legs and feet are somewhat inconvenient."

Jia Amnesty nodded, and kept on walking. Since he was introduced by his father-in-law, he always wanted to meet people first. Besides, he was a teacher but not an official.

Before entering the front hall, Jia Amnesty saw a man standing up inside. Looking from a distance, he was tall and tall, and he looked like a gentle man.

Jia She thought to himself, he wrote a letter to his father-in-law to find a husband with some requirements, and he had to be suitable for the child, not pedantic. Could it be that the father-in-law followed Yu Qiu's template and found another person like this?

When Jia Amnesty stepped into the threshold, the man had already clasped his fists and saluted with a gentle voice, "But Mr. Jia? Press An Xian to be polite."

Jia She nodded with a smile on his face: "My lord, Jia She, whose name is Enhou, was Mr. An introduced by my father-in-law, Mrs. Zhang?" Looking closer, this man is tall and tall, and he doesn't look like someone with limited legs.

An Xian walked two steps, Jia She saw that his left foot was indeed lame, An Xian nodded, and said with a smile: "My name is An Xian, my name is Siyuan, I am 27 years old, and I am Mr. Ming Rong from Chuzhou in the south of the Yangtze River. Disciple, I passed the examination many years ago, but because of an accidental leg injury, the imperial examination stopped here. My teacher and Mr. Zhang are good friends. I traveled to the capital and planned to stay in Beijing for a while. Mr. Zhang recommended me to teach your son. "

Jia She's eyes lit up, this person is still Juren, his knowledge must be much higher than Yu Qiu's, not to mention he is only a few years younger than him, looking at him like that, he really doesn't look like a person who is about to reach his thirties.But it's a pity for this person, if his leg is not injured, I'm afraid he should have a place in the imperial examination.

Since it was recommended by his father-in-law, Jia Amnesty naturally had no objection, so he immediately took Mr. An to the classroom. The staff from both sides met and saw how Yu Qiu got along with the three children. There are only a few.

In the classroom, Yu Qiu was explaining the essentials to Jia Hu. Jia Zhu closed her eyes and recited the text silently. Only Jia Lian sat at the back of the classroom and scribbled on the ground.

It seems that every child has such a stage. At that time, Jia Zhu also liked to scribble graffiti, and Jia Lian was no exception. After every class, his face and body were stained with ink. For this reason, Jia Lian was covered with a raincoat material. clothes, so you don’t have to worry about changing clothes frequently.

Jia She smiled, the two did not disturb the class inside, but An Xian watched quietly, the inside was like a painting, the atmosphere between the teacher and the students was very harmonious, even the mischievous child at the back didn't affect it at all. The vividness of this picture cannot be lost.

About half an hour later, Jia She and An Xian agreed that he would go back to his residence to get ready, and he would come to Rong Mansion tomorrow to spend a few days with Yu Qiu and Jia Hu, and then he would formally teach.

After sending An Xian away, Housekeeper Lin came to him in a hurry, saying that the father-in-law of the Zhang family was ill and had invited the imperial physician.

Jia She was startled. Two days ago, his father-in-law seemed to be in high spirits. Why did he get sick so quickly?Is it because of worrying too much?That's right, my uncle is sick, but he's fine in rest. Once he thinks too much, his condition will get worse, so he didn't dare to tell him about his cousin.Thinking about it this way, Jia She felt a little guilty, because he mentioned that his father-in-law was too tired to worry about the safety of his children and grandchildren, how could he not overthink it?

Jia Amnesty hurried back to the East Courtyard to tell Mrs. Zhang that the couple hurriedly changed out of their filial piety clothes, and changed into plain and inconspicuous clothes. These precious medicinal materials went to Zhang's residence.

Hongye's consciousness is much faster than Jia She Zhang's. Zhang's residence is not very far from Rongguo's residence. When the consciousness is released, it extends to Zhang's residence in a blink of an eye.

Sure enough, everyone in the Zhang family came in and out, but there was no serious expression on everyone's face. When they saw Mrs. Zhang, they saw that he still had the energy to scold his son. It seemed that there was no major problem, so they withdrew their spiritual sense. return.

At noon, Jia Hu and Jia Lian had lunch with Hongye in Rongxitang. Knowing that his grandfather was sick, Jia Hu was very worried. Hongye stroked his head and said, "Your grandfather should be fine. There are many people, Mr. Zhang may just have a slight cold, and he will recover soon after taking the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor."

Jia Lian is still in the stage of heartlessness and doesn't understand anything.

After noon, Jia She and Mrs. Zhang came back together. Judging from the faces of the two, she knew that Mrs. Zhang was fine. Jia She was relieved after knowing the doctor's diagnosis. I think the old man is pretending to be sick. I didn't see that the third uncle is like a grandson in front of his father-in-law. Allow him to gloat.

Mrs. Zhang was a little dumbfounded, his father seemed to have a lot of temper, and the third brother was going to be a grandfather anyway, and he still scolded the third brother like that, but it was really his fault that the third brother drank flower wine.

At night, Hongye goes to Lin's house to find wormwood for a night tour of the capital.The night wind was very cool, blowing past, it was very refreshing, the two of them passed through the streets and alleys like a wind, occasionally the shadow was seen by the patrol team, and the patrol team came to look for it but couldn't see anything, thinking they had run into a ghost.

Most of the conspiracies took place in the dark, especially at night, and the two of them knew a lot of nasty things while traveling in Beijing.However, the final location of the two of them today is the palace. I don't know what the palace looks like at night. Is it a monster with a big mouth?

I originally thought that everyone in the palace had fallen asleep, but I didn't want the emperor's bedroom to be lit, and Emperor Changping, Wang Wei, and Commander Wu were still talking privately.

Emperor Changping's face was a little dark, of course, the emperor always looked unpredictable.

The father-in-law took two steps back silently, Commander Wu also stood some distance away from Emperor Changping, Emperor Changping clenched his fists, and said sharply: "Very good, this is my Dafeng's prince, prince!"

Wang Wei took another step back silently, and Commander Wu remained silent.

Ai Cao and Hongye looked at each other when they heard this, and they could see each other's gloating in their eyes. Hongye was thinking about what King Sujun did to make the emperor compare him with the prince?

This night was a worthwhile trip, the two of them didn't stay long, walked around the palace, and then quietly left directly from the wall of the cold palace.

The next day, Ai Cao waited for Lin Hai to come back, and told him again and again that he should be more serious in his work these days and not obstruct the emperor's eyes. You have to follow her every step of the way. If others ridicule you, you might as well use her as an old lady as a shield.

Lin Hai looked puzzled, did mother get any stimulation?

Seeing him like this, Ai Cao wiped her tears and sobbed, "Hai'er, I had a bad dream last night. I dreamed that you were injured and fell to the ground covered in blood. I was so scared that I couldn't sleep all night. "

Lin Hai and Jia Min hurriedly spoke comforting words, and Lin Hai repeatedly assured that he would not put himself in danger.

Lin Nuan also looked at his aunt eagerly, and after thinking for a long time, he said, "Auntie, I will prepare some self-defense pills and powders for my cousin, so that my cousin will not be afraid of being plotted against him."

With such care, Lin Hai took the medicine powder from his cousin, which has only one effect and can make people faint instantly.

When he returned to the main courtyard, Lin Hai couldn't laugh or cry, but Jia Min looked at him seriously, "Take this medicine powder with you, please feel at ease."

But Hongye didn't tell anyone, just asked Jia Amnesty for the latest information from time to time.

So by late May, the new Mr. An and Jia Hu, Jia Zhu and Jia Lian had gotten used to it. Yu Qiu and Yu Mu moved out of Rongfu and returned to their original home. After that, Yu Qiu went to Guiyuan Bookstore every day. Read books with Jia Zheng, Zhou He and others, and make the final sprint for the autumn test.

Then news came from the court that because the weather was too hot this year, the emperor decided to go to the palace to escape the summer heat in early June, and not return to the palace until the Mid-Autumn Festival in August.With this decree, most of the officials and their family members in the whole capital began to prepare, and dragged their families to Zhuangzi near the palace.Officials who did not follow the emperor to the palace also had to prepare for the emperor's trip.

The author has something to say: Replaced.
