Palace Flower as Employment [Red Mansion]

In the end, Jiamu stayed with the historian.

She is old, and Jia Amnesty's grandsons are all grown up, each has their own affairs, the granddaughters-in-law are also busy, and the great-grandchildren below are all young, and more importantly, Jia Baoyu's lessons learned from the past are really impressive So much so that Jia Lian Wang Xifeng didn't dare to send the child over, even his daughter Qiaojie.Jia Cong and Zhang Shuya have no children yet, and Jia Qi and Lin Daiyu's sons are still young. Not to mention that Jia's mother is not in good spirits now, even in the early years, didn't the Yingchun couples be sent to Jia's mother when they were one year old?It's not Jia Baoyu who was born with jade in his mouth. Jia's mother was so rare that she hugged it early.

For the rest of Jia's family, the historians are just toys for Jia Mu. As long as Jia Mu doesn't torment her own flesh and blood, Jia Mu can raise as many toys as she likes.

Neither Jia Amnesty nor Jia Lian and Jia Qi objected.

Anyway, they are rich, the Shi family is white now, and the population is not large, so the small expenses are only Shi Ding's wife Wei Shi and her children, Shi Nai's wife He Shi and her children, a total of no more than seven Eight people, plus some girls and women.Furthermore, historians were convicted and ransacked their homes. Without the Supreme Emperor and the current amnesty, historians would not be able to be officials within three generations.What the Jia family needs to provide is nothing more than food and clothing for these few people, so what is it?

Jia Qi looked at them, both Webster and He seemed to be very knowledgeable and interesting people, and they also acted in simplicity, and the money to support these two families was only equivalent to that of Jia Baoyu.Since both Webster and He restrain their children and do not cause trouble for Jia Qi, Jia Qi is also willing to give Jia Mu some face.

In this way, the Shi family stayed in the Jia family.

Shi Xiangyun is the oldest girl in the Shi family. She also has two cousins, the eldest Shi Xianglin, the daughter of the former Zhongjing Hou Shi Nai, is 16 years old this year, and the youngest Shi Xianglu is the 13-year-old daughter of the former Bowling Hou Shi Ding, and now she has no father. , the family has also become a commoner, and can only rely on Jia Mu to live. To put it bluntly, they not only count on Jia Mu for their own wedding dowry, but also their elder brothers. What about the one who was accused of ransacking his home?Neither Shi Ding's wife Wei Shi nor Shi Nai's wife He Shi got their dowries back, and their sons were unable to take the imperial examinations.

Wei Shi and He Shi also had no choice. Whoever made their natal family fall, especially He Shi, she is the cousin of Concubine He, the birth mother of the fourth prince. How dare she take her son and daughter back to her mother's house?Isn't it just counting on Jiamu?

Mother Jia didn't know this, or rather, Mother Jia knew the thoughts of these two nieces and daughter-in-laws long ago, but she was old and especially afraid of loneliness, so she went along with the flow and brought these two nieces and daughters-in-law together with her nephew and grandnephew. The daughters stayed behind.

Since he was in front of Jiamu every day, Shi Xianglin naturally had the opportunity to meet Jiamu's four grandsons—Jia Lian, Jia Cong, Jia Qi and Jia Baoyu.

And Shi Xianglin started to despise Shi Xiangyun after staying with Jia Mu for less than half a month.

What eyes!

There are so many grandchildren in front of my aunt, why did you pick the least useful one?In terms of status, which of the three cousins ​​of my uncle's family is worse than Jia Baoyu?Even before Jia Baoyu's downfall, he was just the second son of a fifth-rank official, or a worthless second son, but what about his uncle?My lord!Lian's second cousin is the eldest son of the cousin, the future lord, and the fourth cousin is the most capable, the third cousin who is the least outstanding among the three brothers. Yes, even though he is an official of the sixth rank now, it is because the third cousin is young, only 13 years old now, otherwise, based on his evaluation in the official department, he would have been promoted a long time ago!

In the past, I heard you always talk about how bad Uncle Biao is, how good Uncle Biao is, how mean and ruthless the cousins ​​of Uncle Biao’s family are, how considerate and excellent Jia Baoyu is, and the result?

Seeing that Shi Xiangyun's marriage was a mess, Shi Xianglin gloated secretly.

However, while watching Shi Xiangyun's jokes, Shi Xianglin did not forget to help his brother find a way out.No, Shi Xianglin has his eye on Lin Daiyu.

Shi Xianglin can also see that Lin Daiyu is a good-tempered person, and Jia Qi is a wife-loving one. To convince Lin Daiyu is to convince Jia Qi.

If it had been Shi Xiangyun, he would have spoken directly in front of Jia's mother, but Shi Xianglin did not do so.Because she knew that if she spoke in front of Jiamu, it would be tantamount to using Jiamu to force Lin Daiyu to nod, and it would be tantamount to giving Lin Daiyu no room to refuse.Since their family is currently relying on the Jia family for their livelihood, how dare Shi Xianglin do such a thing?

Therefore, when Lin Daiyu bid farewell to Jiamu, Shi Xianglin chased after her:

"Fourth sister-in-law, please wait."

Lin Daiyu was very surprised when she saw Shi Xianglin who was chasing after him at a trot.

"Second Sister Shi, what's the matter?"

Hearing Lin Daiyu calling her Second Sister Shi, Shi Xianglin immediately breathed a sigh of relief.She is not Shi Xiangyun, carefree and informal.After all, in this world, it is very impolite to call her by her first name. Shi Xiangyun asked the maids of Jia's family to call her Miss Yun directly, in order to put her face under the feet of others.On the contrary, like Lin Daiyu, even if her family became a commoner, the other party still politely called her Second Younger Sister Shi, which meant she was seriously treating herself as a relative.

Falling from the clouds to the dust, Shi Xianglin's thoughts became more and more delicate, and he was most afraid of being looked down upon.Lin Daiyu is the wife of Zhiyuan, and she is even willing to call her Second Sister Shi. For Shi Xianglin, nothing makes her more comfortable than this.

Shi Xianglin took a few steps forward, bowed to Lin Daiyu, and said, "It's our mother and daughter who acted improperly and caused trouble for my cousin and sister-in-law. Please forgive me, my sister-in-law."

Although the historians had already been punished for this matter, it was the anger of the Supreme Emperor and had nothing to do with Jia Qilin Daiyu.Shi Xianglin felt that since she had caused trouble for Jia Qilin Daiyu, it was because they didn't have the ability to eliminate the trouble right now, so a serious apology was still needed.

Lin Daiyu quickly helped Shi Xianglin up: "Second Sister Shi, get up quickly. Don't worry, we all know that Second Sister Shi's family has also been fooled."

When Shi Xianglin heard about it, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Sister-in-law doesn't blame me, I'm already satisfied. But, there is one thing..."

Lin Daiyu saved her mind and said, "Second sister, but it's okay to say."

Shi Xianglin immediately said: "Speaking of it, I'm not afraid of my sister-in-law's jokes. Our family has reached this point. Although it's our own fault, we can't rely on the old lady for the rest of our life. Although my younger brother was originally a nobleman, since he is a commoner, We should also find a livelihood. After the two of us have discussed it, we have to come to ask my sister-in-law."

"Oh. You mean, let us, Aqi, help your brother find a job in the salt field?"

Shi Xianglin waved his hands again and again: "Sister-in-law, we don't dare to take the errands in the salt field. No matter how ignorant we are, we know the Yantie official camp. The salt field was reported to the Supreme Emperor. The people in the salt field must have seen it in front of the Supreme Emperor. My younger brother is white now and has not received a pardon. We don't dare to think about it. My mother and my aunt discussed it. I don't want official errands. As long as my cousin and sister-in-law work for me, no matter where, as long as my brother and the others can make a living. Can."

Lin Daiyu was stunned, and she looked at the blushing cousin in front of her again, seeing her firm eyes, she had to say: "To tell you the truth, when Brother Bao Er was still in the Grand View Garden, the girls in his room They don't do anything, but the second brother Bao's underwear is actually made by sister Yun and that sister Bao. At that time, Aqi looked down on him very much, and said that he would not use relatives as slaves. Me and Aqi It is true that there is a shortage of people under Qi's command, but we will not do this kind of thing. However, "

Hearing what Lin Daiyu said, Shi Xianglin thought there was no hope, but when Lin Daiyu changed the subject, he immediately asked:

"But what?"

Lin Daiyu said: "Ah Qi said before that he would ask the tenants in the Zhuangzi to ask a teacher to teach the men and women in the Zhuangzi to read and write. Of course, the teaching will definitely not be the Four Books and Five Classics, nor the subjects of the imperial examination. It’s nothing more than some commonly used words, and then let the tenants learn to read the contract, learn the abacus and so on. The content is simple, but they are all practical things. Of course, this gentleman is not easy to hire, and there are many people who need it..."

"This is fine, my brother can do it."

If it is to teach the Four Books and Five Classics and let the students take the children's test, Shi Xianglin is afraid that his younger brother will not be able to do it.Since it's just teaching some commonly used words, it's much easier, only abacus, even if my younger brother doesn't know it, he can still learn it now, but he doesn't know if there will be time.

Amid Shi Xianglin's apprehension, Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "I'm afraid I will disappoint Second Sister Shi. This school is still under preparation. I haven't got the textbooks or the venue yet. It will be next year at the earliest. I don't know what Shi Er Can my sister wait first?"

Shi Xianglin's younger brother is only 14 years old this year. Shi Xianglin himself thinks Lin Daiyu and Jia Qi think her younger brother is too young.Now I heard that it will not start until next year, so why not be unhappy.

Shi Xianglin said goodbye to Lin Daiyu with gratitude, watched Lin Daiyu get into the Cuiwei canopy car outside the courtyard gate, and then hurried back to the small courtyard where their family lived now, and told the good news to all the historians.
