Master of Karma in the Red Chamber

Every time Jia Amnesty and Yan Liang couldn't have a good chat.After so long, he is not used to it at all.

Jia Amnesty held back, bowed his head silently and took a sip of tea.Heartbrokenly thinking 'curse' Yan Liang has no friends in his life.

"Believe it or not, people will be punished for evil thoughts." Yan Liang asked suddenly.

Jia Amnesty shook his hands in fright and broke the teacup, "You, how do you know?"

Yan Liang squinted, "I said Wang Ziteng, what are you thinking?"

"Hehehe, what can I think, I'm distracted for a while. By the way, what is Wang Ziteng, what's wrong with Wang Ziteng?"

"I took a picture of him in the official department yesterday, and your second brother is very good." Yan Liang said in a slightly gloomy tone.

"He's an envoy in charge of business affairs. Of course he is very powerful. He is the most popular among the four major families. You are not bad either. You were promoted from the head of the horse factory association to the doctor of the official department in the blink of an eye. Recently, you have won two princes and noble concubines." Madam's praise is very impressive, it really brings glory to our Jia family!" Jia She happily patted Jia She on the shoulder, he just finished cursing Yan Liang, but now he is sincerely happy for Yan Liang.

"It's nothing more than a fifth grade." Yan Liang didn't bother to pay attention to the startled Jia She, and sent him back as soon as possible.Jia Amnesty refused, and when he mentioned the arrival of his sister's family, his tone was very worried and sour.

"Don't look at my younger sister, who looks weak and weak. She is made of water. She has a bad temper. When I was at home, she was the most able to pinch and be strong. But she is also very clever, old lady. I like her the most. If she sees me occupying the magpie's nest this time and living in the Rongxi Hall, she will make things difficult for me." Jia She sighed sadly.

Yan Liang sneered: "The dove occupies the magpie's nest? If you can't survive a little difficulty, you really don't deserve to be the eldest son of the eldest son. No wonder the old lady wants to give up your position to your second brother. Since you admit that you can't live up to it, why not?" Pack your bags and get away."

"Don't be angry, I was wrong, wrong! Make up your mind, no matter how little sister makes things difficult for me this time, I will never move and follow your command." Jia Amnesty patted his chest, full of energy.

Yan Liang gave him a white look, waved his hand, and dismissed this troublemaker to leave quickly.

Yan Liang quietly read the book for a while, and then waited for Wu Qiumao to report the situation.There is a class in the school, Jia Dairu and several gentlemen are there.

Yan Liang walked away, got up immediately, and ran to the school.

It was almost noon at this moment, before the break, and the hearts of the teachers were scattered. After the lectures, the teachers took a break to drink tea, and let the students in the room talk and fight.

However, since Yan Liang raided and inspected the school last time, Jia Daishan and several school stewards have learned to be smart, and put someone to watch at the door, and if something happens, they will ring the bell to warn.The students all knew about this and silently agreed with this method.Because since Jin Rong and others were forcibly kicked out of the school last time, the remaining Jia family children were very afraid of the majesty of the patriarch, but after all they couldn't stop their playfulness, so they helped Jia Daishan to hide it.

They all pretended that Yan Liang didn't know about it, and each of them thought that everything would be safe.Especially recently, Yan Liang didn't come to the school to look for trouble, and gradually everyone began to return to their previous looseness.

Today, before Yan Liangren arrived, Wu Qiumao had already led people to control the gatekeeper in advance.So when Yan Liang strode towards the school, everyone thought it was just the gentleman who came, and they didn't sit down immediately, but shouted happily.

"Mr. is here, let's get out of class!"

"Let's go, let's eat."

The first person to rush to the door took three steps, and seeing that it was the patriarch, the smile on his face froze.

"Greetings to the master!"

The laughter in the room stopped abruptly, and everyone's expressions changed drastically. They stared blankly at Yan Liang, and after a long while, they greeted Yan Liang with uneven voices.

Among the students, one of them, who was good-looking but cunning, was sitting by the easternmost window.When he realized it, he was about to jump out of the window, but he was pushed back by Wu Qiumao who was outside the window.

"Ouch!" Jin Rong knocked down the desk, rolled on the ground, and yelled with his arms covering his head, his entire face was blocked by his arms.

"I don't know who you are?" Yan Liang stared at the child.

Jin Rong slowly lowered his arms, glanced at Yan Liang in horror, then knelt down with a thump, his head drooping, not daring to make a sound.

Jia Dairu and several gentlemen got the news and ran over in a panic.Seeing Mr. Jing from the Ning Mansion, the gentlemen all changed their faces and asked Jia Jiadairu for advice.

After all, Jia Dairu had seen some of the world, pretended to be calm, and invited Yan Liang to sit in his room.

"Your room?" Yan Liang raised his eyebrows slightly, and his cold eyes shone with a frightening light.

In an instant, Jia Dairu felt as if his heart was tied to a rock and sank.

"Last time I said, I forgive you for being old, and you have to work hard without credit, so I will give you another chance. Now that you are like this, how do you ask me to find a reason to keep you?" Yan Liang did not care about Jia Dairu's affection this time, Just say that in front of everyone.The face is not given by others, if he can't earn it himself, it's no wonder that others are rude.

Jia Dairu didn't expect Master Jing to say such serious words in public, his face suddenly turned pale.The students stood there in embarrassment, not knowing what to do.

Only then did Yan Liang speak and told everyone to disperse.

Jia Dairu was annoyed at first, annoyed that Yan Liang didn't save him face.Turning his head and saw that the child kneeling on the ground was Jin Rong, his heart trembled even more, he really hated this child for being disobedient, and specially arranged him by the east window, just to make it easier for him to escape.This child is usually very clever, but he stayed at the critical time.Jia Dairu felt that he had been caught again, and became afraid and hated Yan Liang.

"This Jin Rong was taken in by the lord and wife of the Rong Mansion who came to plead for mercy." Jia Dairu gritted his teeth and explained.

"This is Jia's school." Yan Liang's meaning was very clear, the matter was originally decided by his patriarch, but Jia Dairu did not step in and make decisions on his own.

After Jin Rong got up, Jia Dairu glared at him several times, and he didn't dare to leave when he stood where he was.

Yan Liang didn't want to show any temper with the child, so he sent Jin Rong away, and asked Wu Qiumao to send a message to Jia Huang, telling him not to expect Jin Rong to go to school again.But he also gave 30 taels of silver to Jin Rong's family, and asked the head of his family to invite his husband to go.

Yan Liang punished and rewarded at the same time, making people confused and unable to lose their temper.

Jia Dairu tilted his head, feeling ashamed.Originally planning to wait for the other party to speak again, he spit out all the words he had just suppressed and reasoned out.However, Yanliang didn't have time to argue with Jia Dairu at all, his eyes swept over Jia Dairu, and then at the gentlemen who were pretending to be honest at the moment, then turned around and left.

That afternoon, four newly invited teachers came to the school.Among them is a man named Gao Baijin, who was born in Juren. He was dismissed from office because he was implicated, so now he does some work teaching people to read.Yan Liang took a special look at this person, and he didn't commit any evil karma, so it can be seen that he was innocent when he was implicated.Yan Liang observed that this person has a good literary talent, unique insights, and also has shortcomings. It is difficult to guarantee that there will be some arrogance and pedantry that scholars often have, but it does not hinder anything.As a teacher, he can be honest and upright, and set an example, which is the luck of all the students.

Yan Liang offered Gao Baijin the same conditions as Yuan Hanzai, and he will replace Jia Dairu in the future to clean up the school.

When Wu Qiumao brought Gao Baijin and others to the school, Jia Dairu and the others hadn't left yet, all of them looked hesitant and seemed to be struggling to stay.Jia Dairu even went up to Wu Qiumao with a hostile face and expressed that he wanted to find Master Jing to clarify the theory.

"What's going on in class today? How dare you do it behind the back of the master when it comes to Jin Rong? Do you have the face to say it? Honestly, take the money and go back. Be quiet and behave well. Maybe one day The master can still think of you. But you have to fight the Ning Mansion for this, you should know what our master is like now."

Wu Qiumao quickly dismissed Jia Dairu and others, and then introduced the new gentlemen, and things went smoothly.

Jia Dairu felt ashamed and bored at home all day, finally couldn't bear it anymore.He felt that the way his grandson Jia Rui looked at him was full of ridicule.Once the majesty is damaged, it will be difficult for him to stand up in the clan in the future.At this moment, Jia Dairu understood how tormented Jia Zheng felt when he was dismissed by the patriarch.

Jia Dairu thought for a while, then wandered around the Rongguo Mansion, and sure enough, he was waiting for Jia Zheng who had returned from his duty.

Jia Zheng has been in a bad mood these days and has been taciturn.Apart from the great grief of losing his son, he has been thinking about what Yan Liang warned him at the beginning.Later, he verified in detail that during Jia Zhu's illness, Yan Liang and Jia She often sent people to take care of her.It stands to reason that Yan Liang's affection for his son Jia Zhu should not be so deep, and since he and Yan Liang were having conflicts at that time, he had no reason to care about his son that much.The more Jia Zheng thought about it, the more he felt bad, and the more he thought about it, the more abnormal he became.I always felt that Yan Liang seemed to know that his son would die, so he said the words 'retribution will come to the children'.

Jia Zheng even suspected that Yan Liang murdered his son because he hated him too much, but after several failed investigations, Jia Zheng gradually began to reflect on whether he really did something wrong and the retribution fell on the child ?

Just at this time, Jia Dairu appeared and complained to himself about his suffering.Jia Zheng was perfunctory, but he didn't like to talk to him.When he was expelled, he didn't see Jia Dairu stand up for him, so Jia Zheng naturally wasn't so kind at the moment.

When Grandma Huang heard about Jin Rong, she felt aggrieved, so she came to Madam Wang and cried, waving a big handkerchief.When Jin Rong went back to school, Mrs. Wang promised to help with it. Who would have expected that he would offend Master Jing even more now.

"Master Jing took back the few students who were sent away years ago, saying that they kept their own place at home and knew how to be obedient. It is a good thing to correct mistakes if they know their mistakes. They can be forgiven. If I had known that I was also called Jin Rong, why bother?" This kind of tossing has only added to the trouble, not to mention that I will never have the chance to enter Jia's school again, and I have completely offended Master Jing."

Mrs. Wang became angry when she heard this, but she complained instead of helping people out of her good intentions.With great difficulty, Jia Huang's wife was sent away.Seeing Jia Zheng coming, Mrs. Wang told him about the matter.

Jia Zheng frowned: "Since you got what the old lady wanted, he just didn't give us face. Why bear with it? I've torn my face from left to right. I'll ask him to reason."

"Don't, later on he will use the little power of the patriarch to suppress you, and you will be at a disadvantage if you can't talk to him honestly? I think it's better to let the old lady talk about it." Madam Wang rolled her eyes and said in a low tone.

Jia Zheng thought about it and encouraged Mrs. Wang to go quickly.

As soon as Jia's mother got the letter, she smiled when she saw Mrs. Wang: "It's a coincidence that you came, your brother-in-law Lin just sent someone to report, and their boat will arrive at the ferry in the capital before noon tomorrow."

"That's great. When my little daughter comes back, someone will make you a caring padded jacket, and with the son-in-law of a high-ranking official by your side, you will no longer be afraid of the sarcastic remarks from outsiders." Mrs. Wang said with a pun.

Mother Jia suppressed her smile and asked her what was wrong.When Jia's mother heard that the culprit was Yan Liang again, she became very angry.In recent days, because of him, I have never lived in peace.After all, she was in a better mood these two days because her daughter was coming to Beijing, but in the end, she made such a incident to bother him.

"We can't always let that guy go. Your brother-in-law is now promising, and your natal brother is also much higher than him. Our family is full of confidence. We are afraid of what this guy will do! Ask the second brother to take him there and talk about Jin Rong. It was my idea, let's see what he says."

Mrs. Wang responded and sent someone to pass on the message.

When Jia Zheng thought of seeing Yan Liang, he felt apprehensive and didn't want to go.Mrs. Wang said that with the support of the old lady this time, she would help brother-in-law Lin to get promoted in the future. His rank was higher than that of Yan Liang, so there was no need to underestimate himself.Jia Zheng thought it was reasonable, so he brought Jia Dairu to trouble Yan Liang.

Yan Liang was sitting in the study with his chin resting, sipping tea and reading a book.After Jia Zheng and Jia Dairu were invited in, Yan Liang asked them to sit down.

Jia Zheng looked at the seat, and it was a foot and a half away from Yan Liang who was behind the case in the east. He could hardly hear what he was talking at such a distance, so he had to shout, how to reason with him.

Neither he nor Jia Dairu chose to sit, but stood in front of the table, facing Yan Liang.

The two talked to each other, using the way Jia Zheng echoed Jia Dairu, to question Yan Liang theoretically.

Yan Liang put down the book on his phone in displeasure, and stared at the culprit, Jia Dairu, "You are from the generation of "Dai". I was embarrassed to say you before. But today you are like this, it is a bit disrespectful. I should respect you, but in terms of status, I am an official and the head of the clan, so you should respect me. You said that you have been a scholar for a lifetime, and you are really a great person if you call yourself a Confucian elder. Great Confucianism? Do you understand the basics of being a teacher? Now that you have lost your rights and have no benefits, you are quite energetic and come to me. Where were you when the school was in chaos?"

Jia Dairu was ashamed by the words, blushed, lowered his head and remained silent.

Jia Zheng sighed, and he didn't say anything.

"Jin Rong is just a child. I didn't intend to argue with him. I asked them to drop out of school temporarily. One was to scare them so that they could correct their mistakes; the other was to warn their parents and let them know how to cherish them. The opportunity for the child to go to Jia’s school. I hope they can urge the child to make progress, instead of just trying to save the money for the two meals at the school. But what does Jia Huang’s wife do? I don’t know how to persuade the child to repent, It’s not really showing off, complaining everywhere and fighting for it. What’s the use!”

Jia Dairu's face turned blue and then turned pale, knowing that he had no face to stay any longer, so he backed away embarrassingly.

Jia Zheng knew that he couldn't beat Yan Liang, so he wanted to leave, but Yan Liang stopped him.

Yan Liang stared at him with piercing eyes: "Teaching people to 'pruning' well, just verbal abuse is useless. As a teacher, one needs to teach children to understand the truth of studying and being a man. You have made the same mistake as him. Zhu Er worked hard on her own, entered school early, and was able to be guided by a good teacher earlier, so as not to be affected by the school's unhealthy tendencies. But Baoyu is different from him, you have to take care of him."

Jia Zheng stared back at him: "Are you being too lenient, or do you want to curry favor with me when you heard that brother-in-law Lin is coming?"

Yan Liang sneered, turned to read the book, and ignored this fellow.

Jia Zheng believed that he was trying to curry favor with him because of Lin Ruhai's affairs, and felt that he was better. In order to avenge his past, of course he would not give him face at this moment.Warn Yan Liang again and again, don't try to get promoted by clinging to Lin Ruhai, there is no way!

……

Besides, when Jia Dairu returned home, he couldn't move his legs and feet and was about to faint.Wu Qiumao hurriedly brought someone over to help him, and then handed Jia Dairu a 300 tael bank note.

"Our master said that you are not suitable for teaching. You are pedantic. You can't teach but love to scold others. It's really easy to lead the child astray. You did not do it right. Now that this is happening, I am afraid you will have no face to stay here any longer. Our master has prepared a way out for you. He wants you to come to Jinling to help look after the old house and buy more near the ancestral tombs every year. Farm houses and acres, these are all managed by you."

Jia Dairu thought that he would be ashamed to go home and couldn't live anymore. When he heard this, he was surprised and asked: "This is not a small sum. Your master just finished scolding me, and he has the intention to entrust this matter to me." ?”

"The master knows that although you are a bit rigid and pedantic, you are not bad at heart. The reason why the master said something about you is really based on facts. Don't be convinced, the facts are right in front of you. Just tell me, the Jia family these years Under your teaching, which of the children will succeed in their studies?" Wu Qiumao asked.

Jia Dairu took a deep breath, carefully recalling the achievements of the school in the past ten years, and there really was no good person.Only Jia Zhu can be counted, but the child's aptitude is good, he entered the government school early, and he didn't stay in Jia's school for long.

"Jia Juan, Jia Heng, Jia Chen who you taught... Which one do you think is promising?" Wu Qiumao handed a booklet to Jia Dairu.

Jia Dairu flipped through a few pages and found that the records in the brochures were all the children of the Jia family he had taught. None of them who were brought up by him were really good at it. Have a meal.Facts are facts, and rhetoric is hard to argue with.Dr. Jia sighed again and again, and finally realized that there was something wrong with his teaching, and he felt guilty.

"I am ashamed of the ancestors of the Jia family, and I should die as an apology." Jia Dairu had tears in his eyes, as if he was about to cry.

Wu Qiumao hurriedly stopped: "You can't do this, you said it, you are ashamed of them at the moment, and you can just kowtow to apologize? Isn't it easy? This is really dishonest. Let me say, Change your life, change your way of life, and find a job that can benefit the descendants of the Jia family. After a hundred years of accumulating virtue, you can only truly express your sincerity in front of your ancestors when you go underground."

Jia Dairu listened to Wu Qiumao's words, so he naturally didn't believe that such words could come from a servant like him, he must have been taught by Master Jing.Jia Dairu naturally took it as the meaning of respecting the master.

"That's right. You go back and tell the master that I'm willing to go back to Jinling, it's just for my grandson's studies..."

"It's pitiful enough that he has no father and no mother. If you are too strict with him, I'm afraid it won't be good for that child. You always take him back, enjoy the scenery and chat along the way, and you can learn more about him. The true thoughts in the child's heart. Wouldn't it be better if you could teach me everything by yourself when you go back? In addition, the master will write back to Jinling, ask those old friends to help, and find a good gentleman for Master Rui." Wu Qiumao said with a friendly smile explained with a smile.

Jia Dairu listened to Yan Liang's meticulous and thoughtful handling, he was convinced, he cupped his hands and bowed in the direction of the Rong Mansion, then knelt down solemnly, apologizing to his ancestors.After he got up, Fang formally responded to the matter and asked Wu Qiumao to convey it.

"Okay, our master will be happy to know that you agreed. He really didn't intend to deliberately make things difficult for anyone, but he just hoped for the well-being of our clansmen. The master also said, please help supervise him." Wu Qiumao also said that when he went back this time The money and other things will all be provided by the Ning Mansion, so they don't need to worry about it. When they arrive at Jinling, someone from the old house will naturally arrange it in advance.

Jia Dairu regained some face, smiled, and nodded politely.Now it's just the beginning of spring and the weather is warm. Since there is nothing to do, he promised Wu Qiumao that he would leave in two days.

On the third day, Yan Liang came to see Jia Dairu off in person.The family members who made fun of Jia Dairu in the past two days were shocked.

Jia Dairu took his grandson to leave the capital in a dignified way, and he was quite happy.When he returned to Jinling this time, he secretly vowed in his heart that he would definitely do a good job for Master Jing, as well as for his ancestors.He, Jia Dairu, will stop being hypocritical and fooling around, and will be a person who will contribute to the Jia family in a down-to-earth manner.

Jia Rui was very reluctant to part with him, he still had a lot of friends in the capital, and he could have fun together, but he would be completely lonely after leaving.But there was nothing he could do, so he could only reluctantly follow his old man.

Before Yan Liang left, he asked Jia Dairu to remember to talk less and smile more along the way, and then observe how his grandson changes.Jia Dairu was somewhat reluctant, but he was also curious about the purpose of Yan Liang's confession. After all, this old man had a strict face, but he was also a decent and benevolent person, so he decided to do as he wanted and see what the result would be.

After Yan Liang sent away Jia Dai's Confucian ancestors and grandchildren, he went to the Ministry of Officials to be on duty.When they came back in the evening, they heard that Lin Ruhai had arrived in the capital on time at noon, and now their family had settled down in Rongguo Mansion.

"Since that's the case, you should send a message tomorrow morning, asking him to go to the Ministry of Officials." Among the five candidates the emperor gave Yan Liang to be elected, Lin Ruhai was the farthest and the latest to come to Beijing.Everyone is waiting for him to come, so he went to the official department.Now that he has arrived in Beijing, it is not easy to continue wasting other people's time.

Early in the morning of the second day, Yan Liang's servant came over to deliver a message.Last night, Jia's mother forced Jia Min's mother and daughter to live with him, while Lin Ruhai lived in Lixiangyuan by himself.For some reason, the news was originally conveyed to Lin Ruhai, so I went to Jiamu's place to go through it first.

After Jia Mu heard this, she was dissatisfied and complained to Jia Min.She listed in detail the incidents of Yan Liang's misconduct during the past few days, and reminded Jia Min to remind Lin Ruhai that that guy had a ghostly intention of currying favor with Lin Ruhai to climb up.

Jia Min did not expect such a big misunderstanding, opened her mouth slightly, and looked at Jia Mu in surprise.
