An old lady's life

After leaving Zhang's house, Jia Zheng and Yu Qiu went to Guiyuan Bookstore to meet other friends.Originally, most of the scholars and scholars who had been stationed in the library to read books for a long time, during the autumn examination, all the scholars went to take the exam, and the whole library was half empty. Now, while waiting for the results, the examinees couldn’t calm down. But if you don't touch books for a day, you feel bad, so many candidates come directly to the library to pass the time, reading other miscellaneous books besides the Four Books and Five Classics, such as Geography Miscellaneous Notes, Tongchuan Chronicles, or popular ghost novels.

Counting the nine days of the exam, Jia Zheng hadn't been to the library for almost a month, not even Yu Qiu.Before the exam, the candidates basically stayed at home. After all, home is the most complete place. They must not have the heart of harming others, and the heart of guarding against others is indispensable. They also do not want to suffer innocent disasters near the pass.

Jia Zheng and Yu Qiu were talking to Zhou He and the others when they heard some students organizing examinees to go to a restaurant for a banquet. Jia Zheng and Yu Qiu couldn't be out of touch, so they counted the number of people. Around noon, a group of people went to the restaurant in a mighty manner. and go.

Although Jia Zheng is not ignorant of the world now, it is impossible for him to deal with it as freely as Jia Amnesty. It is just that he opened the Guiyuan Bookstore. No matter what kind of mentality these students have, they must thank him and arrest them all. He toasted him, so after a banquet, he really drank a lot.In the corridor, the two entourages had no choice but to watch. They didn't help the drunken Jia Zheng back to the mansion until the banquet ended around Shen Shi.

Jia Zheng was so drunk that he was still very reserved outside, just sleeping with his eyes closed.But when he got home, Wang Shi was instructing his servants to wash him, when he suddenly woke up, and looked at Wang Shi with a drunken eye, as if he didn't recognize her.

"I can't drink anymore, I have to go home." He pushed Mrs. Wang, and staggered towards the yard while holding onto the door frame. Mrs. Wang stomped her feet. Unexpectedly, the master was drunk and went crazy with alcohol!

"Master, where are you going? This is our home." Mrs. Wang followed up to help him, but was thrown away by Jia Zheng.

"Fuck off, where did this woman come from, she won't even try to lie to me." He also muttered, "I have to go home, it's not safe outside, big brother, mother..."

The servants looked at each other, and the long follower looked at Wang and asked, "Madam, this..."

Wang said angrily, "What can I do?"

Seeing that Jia Zheng was about to walk out of the west courtyard, the servants had no choice but to step forward to restrain him, but because he was a master, they didn't dare to use too much force for fear of hurting him.I didn't expect Jia Zheng to be a big man anyway, he was quite big, and when he was drunk, he had no manners, and he would throw off people in a few moments.

Wang Shi had no choice but to support him personally: "Master, I am Xiuqin, do you still remember?"

Jia Zheng squinted his eyes and shook his head to look at Wang Shi several times, then broke away from her in the next moment, "Liar, you are so ugly, how could you be Xiuqin."

Wang's face is cracked, is she going to admit that she is good-looking or ugly?

Jia Zheng was drunk at the moment, and other people kept swaying in his eyes. Even if a nine-day fairy appeared in front of him, he would not find it attractive.

"Who is Xiuqin? I can't remember."

All the servants in the yard lowered their heads and couldn't help laughing. Mrs. Wang glanced around bitterly: "Don't laugh!"

"I remembered, she is my wife, she is very pretty." Jia Zheng hiccupped, "The wedding night, she is so beautiful. There is a beauty, so clear and graceful."

Wang's face turned red now, she didn't know whether it was from embarrassment or anger, the servants wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, all of them lowered their heads, almost buried their heads under their knees.

This meeting was the off-duty time. Jia Amnesty stayed in the criminal department for seven or eight days, read the case files for seven or eight days, and did nothing. It was rare to come back from get off work early today.

As soon as he entered the door, he heard the housekeeper say that the second master was drunk and drinking madly in the west courtyard. Jia She's eyes lit up, the second child's good show, if you miss this village, there will be no such shop.

When Jia Amnesty arrived at the gate of the west courtyard, he happened to hear Jia Zheng's words. He couldn't help laughing and bent over. Wang was even more ashamed.

Hearing the laughter, Jia Zheng turned his head while muttering, staggered a few steps, then hugged the door panel, squinted his eyes for a long time before Jia She pointed at him and said, "Brother."

Jia Amnesty's heart is soft. Should he be proud that his younger brother can still recognize him when he is drunk?

Jia She stepped forward to support Jia Zheng and wanted to take him into the house. Jia Zheng immediately hugged Jia She in a bear hug, "Brother, I was not good before, I am sorry for you."

Jia Amnesty was still thinking about what he did to offend him, so Jia Zheng poured out by himself, "I used to be jealous of you, why can you inherit the title without doing anything, and don't have to worry about your future for the rest of your life, but I You have to study hard."

Cold sweat broke out on Wang's forehead, he grabbed his sleeve and said nervously: "Brother, he is talking nonsense, hehe."

Jia Amnesty had black lines on his face: "...hehe."

Jia Zheng burped, reeking of alcohol, and Jia Amnesty was so smoked that he turned his head away, and heard him say again: "This kind of unfairness makes me more and more acute, and I want to use the imperial examination to prove that I am better than you."

At this time, the servants in the yard wished they could disappear just now. After hearing what the second master said, would they still be alive to see the sun tomorrow?

Mrs. Wang was so embarrassed, she opened her mouth and didn't know what to say. Jia She wondered if he should take this opportunity to show Jia Zheng's tricks and see how dissatisfied he was with him?

"But the more eager I was to prove myself, the more pressure I had in the exam room. I couldn't answer the questions, and I failed every time, woo woo woo." He also cried very sadly.

Jia Amnesty patted Jia Zheng on the cheek: "Second brother, you will definitely win this time." See how the second child is really forced by the scientific examination. He is the eldest brother, and adults don't care about him if they have a lot.

Hongye didn't take Jia Zheng's drunkenness seriously at first, but she didn't want Jia Zheng to be drunk again, so she went to the West Courtyard herself, and heard Jia Zheng expressing her heart to Jia Amnesty as soon as she came.

"Woooooo, brother, why did your wife beat me? I'm not as smart as you, and I've worked hard to learn how to read and write." Jia Zheng spoke upside down, and Jia Amnesty and Wang were still thinking about when their mother (mother-in-law) Beat the second child (master)?

But Hongye could tell that Jia Zheng must have been forced to study by his mother when he was a child, and Jia's mother still told him that he must surpass his elder brother, pass the imperial examination, and earn an imperial order for her mother.Soon Hongye found that scene from Jia's mother's memory. At that time, Jia Zheng was only about three years old. Jia's mother went to visit her eldest son Jia She in her mother-in-law's yard. She glanced at her, and when she returned to Rongxi Hall in a hurry, she urged Jia Zheng to read and endorse. If she couldn't recognize her, she was beaten on the palm of her hand. At that time, Jia Mu's face was so ugly that Jia Zheng almost hid behind the door. .

Of course, this kind of thing would not happen for the first time, but Jia Zheng seemed to subconsciously remember what happened when he was three years old, which cast a shadow over his whole life.

"Let him tell, and see how much grievance he has felt in his heart over the years." The arrival of Hongye made Jia She and Wang's suddenly at a loss as to how to deal with it. Is there a place to stand?

Jia Amnesty glanced at his mother, and his face was a little embarrassed.

"My wife doesn't care about me at all. She only cares about my eldest brother. My wife hates my grandmother for taking my eldest brother away. My grandmother is so used to my eldest brother that he can't do anything. She just wants to use me to prove that she is better than my grandmother."

Jia She's eyes widened: "Nonsense, mother obviously likes you better." As soon as these words came out of his mouth, Jia She suddenly felt that something was wrong, his eyes glanced at his mother, and then began to drift away again.

Hongye is very calm, as if the person they are talking about is not her, of course it is not her, she has a thick skin, and what the original owner has done will not hinder her in the slightest.

"...My wife decided on my marriage without even asking me..." He hiccupped, leaned against Jia She's arms and didn't speak for a long time.

Wang's face was full of embarrassment, but she couldn't help listening carefully when she heard this. She really wanted to know what Jia Zheng would say, but he didn't say anything.

Hongye thought Jia Zheng was done with the trouble, and ordered Jia She to help him into the house, and she followed her into the house, and now there was no outsider in the house, and Wang was really holding her breath in her chest. From the analysis of the previous words, Jia Zheng's next words were definitely not good, but he just didn't say anything. Isn't this a tantalizing thing?

"Leave him alone, just let him sleep on the couch, and let him take care of himself when he wakes up. Don't make a fuss and make people laugh."

Wang lowered his head, Jia She nodded, and pulled out the sleeve that Jia Zheng held in his hand, but not wanting to disturb him, he opened his eyes at once, took a fixed look at Jia She, and yawned I closed my eyes again.

"Yes, marriage."

Jia Amnesty and Wang's heart skipped a beat, isn't it over yet?

"Obviously I'm going to take the imperial examination, but my wife doesn't know how to find me a girl from a scholarly family who can read and write. It happens to be the Wang family. A woman from the Wang family can't read and read. What can I talk to? I'm very depressed, but I dare not resist."

Wang's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, Jia She turned his head and coughed, thinking that the second child is in trouble, there was a disturbance because of the concubine yesterday, Wang is afraid that he will not let it go.

Jia Zheng smacked his mouth and continued: "However, Xiuqin is beautiful, and I don't know what the Wang family thinks. To give her such a graceful name, but not to teach her how to read, Xiuqin is always proud of her Wang family, thinking that God The eldest is the second child of the Wang family, she is so stupid."

Hongye couldn't help laughing until it hurt her internally, Jia She couldn't help but pull back her sleeves, covered her chest and went to the door, holding on to the door frame, laughing silently until she was out of breath.

Not to mention how pretty Wang's complexion is, her lips have lost their color.

"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu of Useful. But I tried my best, and those people in the Imperial College looked down on me, the master looked down on me, the students looked down on me, and the examiners were all blind."

"Xiuqin was born and gave birth to a son for me. I have a son, Zhuer. When is it now? Why don't you see Xiuqin and Zhuer? It's strange, it's getting dark, where is Xiuqin? She's angry again Is it? She is much more pleasing to the eye now than before, I want to treat her well, my mother said that we are the original couple, we should live a good life. "

"Mother is not the same as before." After Jia Zheng muttered this sentence, he didn't say anything more. Hearing his snoring, Hongye knew that he was really asleep this time, and he thought he would stop making trouble.

The last sentence was because Jia Zheng's voice was very low, and Wang was immersed in shock, so she didn't hear it. Jia Amnesty was at the door, laughing so hard that he didn't know if he heard it.

"Ms. Wang, you should take care of the second child. If you hold some words in your heart for a long time, you will feel depressed. Now that you say it, you feel much more comfortable."

Jia Amnesty also hurriedly said: "Sister and brother, then I will go too."

After saying that, Jia Amnesty followed Hongye out of the West Courtyard. Mrs. Wang glared at Jia Zheng bitterly, then came out of the room with a blanket in her arms, and gently covered Jia Zheng.

"When you wake up, let's settle the score. What do you mean I'm so stupid?" Wang's resentment was great. She didn't expect that she would leave such an impression on Jia Zheng, and he didn't want to marry her in the first place. It was unreasonable. !

On the other side, Jia She and others walked out of the west courtyard before letting out a big laugh: "Mother, do you think the second child will be too ashamed to go out to meet people when he wakes up tomorrow?"

"Hehe." Hongye couldn't help chuckling: "What about you? Do you have such resentment towards me?"

Jia She straightened his chest and was about to refute, but when he touched his mother's half-smile eyes, he faltered in an instant, and was speechless for a while.

The children's laughter came from the front, especially Jia Zhu's roar and Jia Lian's crisp laughter. Accompanied by Jia Hu's harmonious voice, Hongye and Jia Amnesty appeared in front of them in the next moment.

I saw Mr. An drawing with his three children. Jia Zhu finished drawing a picture of chrysanthemums, and the next moment Jia Lian dripped a few drops of ink on it. Jia Zhu was so angry that he went crazy!

Mr. An just watched with a smile and let the three of them play by themselves.

"Uncle, you should take care of Lian'er, he always destroys my paintings!" Every time he destroys a painting, such a younger brother is not cute at all!

Jia She spread his hands: "I can't control him!" There are so many people in the mansion, only Mrs. Zhang can manage Jia Lian, and he listened to Mrs. Zhang. He was afraid of his grandmother, but he always wanted to destroy her, but he never success.

Jia Lian made a face at his father, hiding behind his elder brother Jia Hu, and peeking at his grandmother.

Hong Ye was also really speechless, this kid was bullying and afraid of being tough, if she hadn't been able to restrain him, he might have messed up the Rongxi Hall.

Mr. An saluted Hongye and Jia She, "Old lady, Lord Hou, today's class is over. The three young masters have done well in both schoolwork and other aspects. Given time, they will definitely be outstanding in one aspect."

Hong Ye nodded, and Jia Amnesty saluted back with a smile, "Mr. Lao An, don't worry."

"Tomorrow is off, Master Hou will not be free, why don't you let the second master take the three young masters out for a walk." Mr. An suggested with a faint smile before leaving. Both Hongye and Jia Amnesty think it is feasible. In the past, after agreeing to be a filial piety, I took the children out to play and increase their knowledge.

Mr. An has inquired about a good doctor in the past two days, and he plans to go to the doctor to see if his leg can still be saved.He didn't want to be so mediocre for the rest of his life, he was full of ambitions, but because of an accident, the imperial examination was terminated, he was not reconciled!

Because Jia Zheng was drunk, he naturally didn't have dinner for him. When he woke up, it was already the next morning. Mrs. Wang didn't sleep well all night, so she woke up after a while to see how Jia Zheng was doing.

"Master, you're awake." Mrs. Wang was a little stumped, and now she couldn't remember the matter of settling accounts with Jia Zheng, so she said, "Yesterday you got drunk and made a joke." She snorted, "Find someone to serve you. I have to go back to sleep. By the way, Zhu'er and the others don't have class today. You are free now. Remember to take them out for a walk."

Jia Zheng was still in the fog, he really drank too much yesterday, his memory stayed in being supported by his entourage, leaving the restaurant and getting into the carriage, and he had no memory of it after that.

He didn't think much about it, he came down from the warm couch, smelled a sour smell on his body, turned his face away in disgust, saw the flickering bead curtain at the door of the inner room, and murmured in his heart, Mrs. Wang was getting more and more arrogant I don't even know how to get someone to clean him up and let him sleep all night in such a dirty state, it's a little too much!

Jia Zheng immediately replaced someone to carry water, he wanted to take a bath, but what expressions did these servants have?Could it be that he has become a scourge?Jia Zheng was very puzzled by their avoidance of his gaze, and finally couldn't help but force them to tell what happened after they got home drunk. some clues.

Coming out of the bathroom, Jia Zheng's face was darkened, and when he returned to the bedroom, he sat on the bedside and pushed Wang Shi, who squeezed into the bed wrapped in a quilt.

"Jia Cunzhou, let me tell you, the debt between us is not over yet. When I wake up, I will show you how stupid I am!" Wang squinted at him and buried his head in the pillow. I just don't want to talk to Jia Zheng.

Jia Zheng groaned inwardly, and sighed, "What did I say that made you so angry?"

Mrs. Wang didn't answer, stretched out her hand and pushed him before saying: "Go and wake Zhu'er up, and last night, my mother promised to let you take Zhu'er and the others out to play, don't forget."

Jia Zheng looked embarrassed, and in the end, in desperation, he had to go to the side room to wake his son up. The father and son had breakfast together. Take gold nuggets or silver nuggets, fill a pocket full, and finally struggle to put the gold nuggets back. Only five silver nuggets are left, and the rest are all copper plates.

The father and son came to Rongxi Hall together, and saw that the eldest room was there except Jia Amnesty, and the old lady was amused by Jia Hu and Jia Lian.Jia Zheng breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't see his elder brother. No matter how many unspeakable things he said yesterday, he really didn't remember anyway, but he still had an attitude.

He bowed nervously to his mother: "Mother, my son was rude yesterday."

Hongye smiled lightly and said: "It's nothing to lose your temper after drinking, but you must not drink so much outside in the future. It doesn't matter what your family says, and you will lose face outside, then your name Jia Cunzhou will be famous all over the capital." .”

Jia Zheng blushed, "My son knows."

Mrs. Zhang just heard that her second uncle got drunk yesterday, but she didn't know what he said, so she smiled and said to Jia Zheng, "Second brother, I have to trouble you today."

Jia Zheng shook his head: "Sister-in-law is kind."

Mrs. Zhang then left to deal with government affairs. Jia Zheng stayed in Rongxi Hall and sat there stiffly, groaning inwardly. He would definitely not drink too much in the future.

At about the right time, Jia Zheng took his three children out. He didn't know where to go. It was decided by Jia Hu and Jia Zhu after discussing a route. Now the autumn chrysanthemums are blooming just right, and the drought that lasted for spring and summer has basically passed. It's a good time to play in autumn.

There are many kinds of flower gardens in the capital. In autumn, only the Chrysanthemum Garden has more tourists. Jia Zheng and his long follower, Bingli Lao Zhou, have seven or eight strong men with three children, and the team is particularly conspicuous.

It's a pity that there were no cameras in ancient society, otherwise it would be so beautiful to keep these beautiful scenery forever.But painters have brushes, and they can often paint all kinds of landscapes.In the chrysanthemum garden, a group of Qingliu scholars gathered together to draw pictures, and they competed to see who could draw the most beautiful chrysanthemum in front of them the best.

Hanging around in Chrysanthemum until noon, Jia Zheng took them to have lunch in a restaurant, rested for about half an hour, and then started touring along the Jing River in the afternoon.In the Jing River, the sound of silk and bamboo came one after another along the water surface, and one painting boat after another floated on the water surface, drifting towards the middle of the river.Jia Zheng took a closer look and found that many people should be the candidates after the autumn examination, and now it's time for them to have fun.

Around Shen Shi, Jia Zheng returned home with his three children. The three children were very excited today. Jia Lian, who likes to be picky, stopped being picky. After eating delicious barbecue, I saw a monkey show by the Jinghe River in the afternoon. There were so many plates on the heads of street performers, but they didn't fall off!

The study of Hongye in Rongxi Hall had Jia Hu and Jia Zhu's place. The two brothers ran into the study at the same time, and after about two quarters of an hour, each of them came out with a piece of drawing paper in their hands.Hong Ye saw that the two painted the same flower. Jia Zheng smiled and said, "This is the king of chrysanthemums in the Chrysanthemum Garden. Many people were painting on the spot."

Jia Hu is older, and he observes meticulously, and draws the petals of the chrysanthemum clearly.Jia Zhu's observations are not so detailed, but still, Jia Zhu's paintings are very aura, and the two paintings give people completely different feelings.

Hongye was not stingy with praise, and Rongxitang laughed and laughed because of the three children.Hongye sighed in her heart, no wonder it is said that a family should have children, otherwise no matter how long a loving couple has been, they will be speechless.Now she understands her cheating ex-husband a little bit, of course she understands, she still disapproves of a man cheating, she wants the child to have the ability to file for divorce in a fair manner and find a woman to have a baby with!

Jia Amnesty came back from get off work early today, and he couldn't wait to see Jia Zheng's jokes. Although he also had some resentment in his heart, he didn't say it out loud. The second child is better than him!

Jia Zheng looked at the elder brother who was smiling and looking at him, and his head hurt immediately, so he couldn't help standing up and bowing his hands: "Brother, if I said something to offend you yesterday, my lord, please don't talk to me a lot. care about."

"Haha." Jia She slapped his legs and laughed loudly. After laughing enough, he said, "Ahem, you didn't say anything to offend me, but you said a lot to offend your younger siblings. Second child, you wish for luck!"

Jia Zheng's face was dark, what did he say about Mrs. Wang?He really doesn't remember anything!

Hong Ye turned her face away, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she thought that if Jia She and Jia Zhengneng were like this all the time, she wouldn't have to worry about coming to Rongfu.

After dinner, Hongye announced that she would move the next day. Previously, Jia Zheng was away, so she didn't move. Now that Jia Zheng is at home, it's better to move sooner rather than later.

The author has something to say: Replaced.
