Amnesty's daily life

Jia She deeply believed that this year's New Year's Eve was the worst he had ever lived in his life, and it would not be worse than this time in the future.Just think about it, this is New Year's Eve, even a beggar on the street can have a full meal, let alone a wealthy family like Rongguo Mansion.Jia Amnesty also knew that in order to look forward to the new year and the new weather, Jia's mother specially ordered someone to open a private treasury a few days ago, and planned to give everyone an extra purse.Everyone here does not only refer to the masters in the mansion, but also includes all the maids and women, as well as the stewards of the outer courtyard and Zhuangzi's shop, Zhuangtou Zhuanghu and so on.

Everyone is happily welcoming the new year, but he is studying hard in the study with a large tome.

Looking at the thick stack of books on the desk, Jia She wanted to cry, but despite his insistence, Twelve had reduced the amount of recitation as much as possible, but within three days he had to recite "The Analects of Confucius", It is really an impossible task to memorize the four books of "The Doctrine of the Mean", "University", and "Mencius".

At this moment, Jia She thought of his father who died young, even though his own father was not so cruel to Jia Zheng back then.Of course, the premise is that although Jia Zheng has no talent for reading, he still has no problem with basic recitation.

——He is just stupid, not lazy or slippery.

In fact, if you really want to calculate it, Jia She and Jia Zheng have almost the same talent for reading, but compared to Jia She who was a child who was lazy and lazy, Jia Zheng had to work harder.There is a saying that stupid birds fly first, although no matter how early they fly, they can't compare with those real geniuses, but Jia Zheng's knowledge is indeed much better than Jia She.It's a pity that the comparison with Nao doesn't make much sense.

Twelve inspected Jia She's basic knowledge briefly, and cast contemptuous eyes on Jia She as if he didn't want money.If it is absolutely impossible to win the election with Jia Zheng's ability, then the same is true for Jia Amnesty.But who made Jia She's life better than his younger brother?Twelve Hearts, if you put my son on the table, it is considered that you have accumulated virtue in your previous life!

From then on, Jia She, who had accumulated virtue, began his miserable study career.

If it is said that under normal circumstances, the teacher will adjust the progress according to the talent of the student himself, then Twelve will not consider this at all.Although Twelve knows that it is extremely unfavorable and even has serious sequelae, so what?Left and Right Twelve didn't expect Jia Amnesty to really become a great Confucian in the world, but he just passed the provincial examination and then the general examination, regardless of whether he would develop an attitude of being tired of studying after the examination.

It's a pity that Jia She still couldn't memorize all the books in three days. In fact, it took him five days.

When the news reached Lixiangyuan, Jia Zheng was shocked.Although Jia Zheng couldn't walk around because of his leg injury, on New Year's Eve, he was carried to the Rongqing Hall in a soft sedan chair, where he spent a lively New Year's Eve with everyone.However, on that day, he just watched Jia She holding the book and muttering to himself like convulsions. He thought that the guy was actually reading the book circulating in the market in front of Jia's mother, but he leaned over to take a look. ...

The Analects of Confucius or something blinded him! !

I thought Jia Amnesty was just having a convulsion for a while, but I didn't expect that guy to have such a convulsion that he became addicted. Jia Zheng, who has been recuperating in Lixiangyuan for years, heard about Jia Amnesty more than once, until the fifth day of the first lunar month. On that day, I was told that Jia Amnesty had recited four classic works.

"Pearl, when I was recuperating, did your uncle ever go to the family school to study with you?" In desperation, Jia Zheng asked Brother Zhu.

Brother Zhu was once severely frightened by Jia Zheng when he was a child. Although Jia Zheng has restrained himself a lot in the past two years, the psychological shadow of his childhood has not completely disappeared because of this.So, after hearing what Jia Zheng said, Brother Zhu just stood far away under the window, and said tremblingly: "Not really."

"Then someone is still studying at home?" Jia Zheng didn't become suspicious because of this, the main reason was that he wanted everyone around him to be polite. As long as Brother Zhu treated him respectfully, he wouldn't deliberately find fault.

"Brother Lian, me, and Big Brother Zhen from Dongfu."

These three belonged to the resident population of the family school. Although the original intention of the family school was to teach Jia Zheng, Jia Zheng was dispatched to Yangzhou for a while, and then went to Bowlinghou's mansion to express his condolences. After that, it was even more tragic. He broke his legs twice.Unexpectedly, the gentlemen in the family school are not so responsible, and they don't bother to pay attention to it if they don't ask questions.

Jia Zheng frowned with hesitation on his face. He really didn't understand what Jia She was going to do, and he didn't believe Jia She's announcement that he was going to take the exam at all.

——He felt that there must be something strange about this matter.

It doesn't matter whether it is strange or not, the important thing is that Jia She really persisted.Of course, with the idea that it is better to have fun alone than to have fun with others, on the sixth day of the lunar new year, Jia Amnesty rushed to Ningguo Mansion to drag Brother Zhen along with him as companions.

From then on, Jia Amnesty and Brother Zhen began to live in dire straits, because Twelve borrowed Mr. Zhou's mouth to announce something, and the assessment would be conducted every ten days, and those who failed would be severely punished. Harsh punishments are judged by Mr. Zhou, the twelve family relationships provide the punishment methods, and the winner is responsible for the specific implementation.

In the first two months, Brother Zhen was always the one who won. Firstly, he is still young and his memory is good. Secondly, he has been studying hard at home for the past two years. Much better than Jia Amnesty.However, in the third month, Jia Amnesty moved forward bravely, gritting his teeth and catching up with Brother Zhen, and his motivation was also very simple, just wanting to clean up the stinky bastard who had oppressed him for two months. boy.

In this atmosphere, August comes quietly.

The rural examination is also called Qiuwei, which means that the examination is held when the sweet-scented osmanthus is fragrant in autumn.This year, as in the past, the exams are held on the ninth day of August, and candidates have to prepare frequently one day in advance.Therefore, on the eighth day of August, both Jia Amnesty and Brother Zhen were sent to the entrance of the examination room, and bid farewell to everyone with tears in their eyes.

Brother Twelve and Lian also came, as well as Jia Zheng who had recovered from his leg injury, and Master Jing from Ningguo Mansion.

After watching the examinees enter, Jia Jing quickly got into the carriage and left, while Jia Zheng took Twelve and Brother Lian to the Junzi Building not far from the examination room.Naturally, with Jia Zheng's temperament and behavior, it is absolutely impossible to lead the younger brothers to such a messy place. In fact, Junzilou is just a place that is popular with scholars. Come.

It's just that the students preparing for the exam have already entered the exam room ahead of schedule, and the Junzi Building is no longer as prosperous as it was yesterday.So, when Jia Zheng led the two brothers over, they were warmly welcomed by Cha Xiaoer.

By the way, Junzilou is not a place to eat, it only serves various grades of tea and exquisite snacks.

"In the private room on the second floor, have a pot of high-quality Biluochun, and ten dishes of various dim sum." Jia Zheng led Cha Xiaoer up to the second floor without giving Cha Xiaoer a chance to speak.Brother Lian is an innocent and innocent child, when he heard that there is some snacks to eat, he has already jumped up cheerfully.Twelve glanced at Jia Zheng, then lowered his head to hide the darkness in his eyes.

After arriving in the private room on the second floor, Jia Zheng didn't immediately reveal his purpose, but waited patiently for the tea waiter to bring tea and snacks.When everything was ready, Jia Zheng said tentatively, "Lian'er, do you know what your father is going to do?"

He has been holding back this question for eight months! !

That's a full eight months!He can't eat well and sleep well all day long, and his mind is full of whether Jia She is going to make a big deal!

At first, Jia Zheng only thought that Jia Amnesty was just having a convulsion. After all, that guy had committed a lot of stupid things in the past 30 years.But what Jia Zheng didn't expect was that the guy really persevered, saying that he really risked his life for the next exam!Although it is only a rural examination, in fact the rural examination is more tragic than the general examination.The reason is very simple. The rural examination consists of three sessions and each session lasts for three days, while the general examination has three sessions but each session only lasts one day.

Thinking of this, Jia Zheng suddenly had a question, did that bastard Jia She know that the township examination would take nine days?

"What is my father going to do? He said he wants to take the No. [-] Scholar Examination!" Brother Lian took two mouthfuls of snacks, and after hearing Jia Zheng's question, he was slightly taken aback, and then answered obediently.

"Examination, examination champion?" Jia Zheng was stunned.

Twelve at the side glanced at Jia Zheng contemptuously. In fact, he had guessed just now that Jia Zheng came here to inquire about the news because he was uneasy. He probably thought that children would be easier to deceive, so he decided to change his mind. It hit him and Brother Lian.Of course, brother Lian is really easy to deceive, the only problem is that brother Lian doesn't know the truth inside.

Dazed for a while, Jia Zheng suddenly picked up the teacup and poured several cups of tea. The tea of ​​Junzilou is famous in the whole capital, and the high-quality Biluochun is naturally delicious. He couldn't taste the taste, even if he was given shabu-shabu water, he probably drank it with relish.

"Cong'er, do you know what your father plans to do?" Startled by Brother Lian's answer, Jia Zheng turned to Twelve for confirmation.

Twelve drooped his head and looked like a sleepy man, as if he hadn't slept enough. After hearing Jia Zheng's words for a while, he turned his head slowly and said, "What are you doing? I want to eat Donkey meat on fire."

Jia Zheng choked for a moment, and then realized that Twelve was just a little kid under three years old. Even though many people praised this kid for being talented and intelligent, in Jia Zheng's view, a kid is just a kid, just look at it Well, Twelve doesn't have such an outstanding appearance like Brother Lian's at all, and he doesn't look inconspicuous at all.

At the moment, Jia Zheng had no choice but to give up seeking information from Twelve, and instead aimed at Brother Lian again.

Brother Lian was already a seven-year-old boy, with a sharp temper and articulate speech, and because he had never had a bad impression of Jia Zheng, he answered every question he had.It's a pity that Brother Lian himself doesn't know anything, so the so-called answering every question actually sounds really tricky.Especially when Twelve, who knew the whole truth, heard it, he almost forced him to light a row of wax for Jia Zheng.

"Lian'er, you said your father plans to take the No. [-] examination?"

"Correct!"

"Then do you know that this is the provincial examination? Even if you are on the list, it is just to become a juren."

"What is a Juren? My father is the one who wants to take the No. [-] examination!"

"If your father successfully passes the provincial examination and becomes a Juren, then he will have to take the general examination next year, and after passing the general examination, he will go to the palace examination. If he can get the first place in the palace examination, he will become the number one scholar appointed by the emperor."

"My father is the champion, not a wolf!"

"..."

"..."

At the end of the question, the twelve rested their cheeks and looked back and forth between Jia Zheng and Brother Lian. Jia Zheng had already collapsed completely, and Brother Lian killed ten plates of dim sum by himself.

You ask why Twelve doesn't eat dim sum?This question is too simple. Junzilou is famous for its wide variety of high-quality tea soup, not its dim sum.You don't even need to taste it yourself, Twelve can tell at a glance that the dim sum here is just passable, and the taste must not be good.Although he has no pursuit in his life and only wants to eat a good meal, but if it is too low-grade dim sum, he has no appetite at all.

Twelve, a self-proclaimed gourmet, said that he is not a foodie, let alone an idiot.

Therefore, Jia Zheng, who lost his tea money, didn't get any information, but after boarding the carriage back to the government, he was completely overwhelmed by Twelve's question.

Twelve smiled and asked, "Second Uncle, when will you adopt Second Sister to our family?"

adopt……

As soon as this topic was mentioned, Jia Zheng just wanted to shed tears of bitterness for himself.In fact, Jia Zheng really didn't care about Yingjieer, a concubine.The essential reason, of course, is that he already has two direct children, Brother Zhu and Sister Yuan.The second-ranked reason was that when Yingjie was born, he himself left the capital and completely forgot about it.To elaborate more, the child that he didn't expect much was born in this world without him completely forgetting about it, and the two of them had never really gotten along, let alone any father-daughter relationship.

In short, Jia Zheng didn't care about Yingjieer.

But he doesn't care, but someone does, and this person is Aunt Zhao, Ying's biological mother.

Although in the eyes of the rich and powerful, a mere housemaid who was promoted by a servant girl is nothing more than an excuse to call her aunt, and her own opinion is even less worth mentioning.But Jia Zheng is very different from the children of ordinary aristocratic families. Take Jia She as an example, except for his first wife, he has never cared about any woman, and will never give even the slightest affection. Not to mention the word respect.As for Jia Zheng, he still cared more or less about Tongfang's concubine.

In today's Lixiangyuan, apart from Mrs. Wang, there are two Tongfang who have passed Minglu. One is Aunt Zhou who is two years older than Jia Zheng and has been with him for nearly 20 years. My sister's Aunt Zhao.It can be seen from Aunt Zhou that Jia Zheng still pays attention to feelings, otherwise he would be replaced by Jia Amnesty and sent out in minutes.

"Cong'er, Sister Ying is your second uncle's daughter and my cousin, do you know?" Jia Zheng tried to reason the facts with Twelve, "It was because the old lady was ill, and the second wife died again. I was busy taking care of Brother Zhu and Sister Yuan, so I didn't take care of Sister Ying for a while, so I asked your mother to take care of her for a few days. But in fact, Sister Ying is still my daughter."

"Ah?" Brother Lian jumped up from his seat suddenly, and said in surprise, "Second sister is the second uncle's daughter? No, no, the second sister was born by my mother, so why did she become the second uncle?" your daughter?"

Jia Zheng's face collapsed, if it wasn't because Brother Lian was still a child, he would really think that this guy deliberately tricked him.Of course, after thinking about it, I knew it was impossible, not to mention that brother Lian didn't have such thoughts at all, even if he did, it would be of no benefit at all.After all, pouring dirty water on one's own mother is really not something ordinary people can do.

"Don't be stupid, the second younger sister was born to Aunt Zhao in the second uncle's room." Twelve rolled his eyes at Brother Lian and said angrily. "What? No, no, it's really wrong, brother, you don't know at all! The second sister was born by my mother, just like the last time my mother gave birth to you, brother Cong'er!" Brother Lian tried his best to explain to Twelve , but suddenly seemed to think of something, and after a pause, she added in a panic, "Mother said that my mother gave birth to Cong'er's younger brother prematurely, so Cong'er, you have been a little kid since you were a child. They don't grow tall. But when the second sister was born, my mother didn't give birth prematurely, so the second sister is chubby and tall!"

Twelve: ... Believe it or not, Elder Brother Ben will kill you immediately? !

"Stop, stop arguing, you two, you can go back and ask your parents, or any of the servants in the mansion." Jia Zheng became more and more broken. In the past, he had only heard of the child's father, but he didn't know. But I never expected that my mother would not recognize it.But the two of them in front of him are children, and he can't reason with them yet.

As a result, Brother Lian ignored it at all: "The second younger sister was born to my mother, and the eldest sister was born to my second uncle!"

"Second Uncle will have children?" Twelve rolled his eyes and complained.

"Of course! Brother Zhu was also born to my second uncle!" Brother Lian argued, "Cong'er, you don't know these things because you are too young. Unlike me, I have seen them all. Yes Oh, when you just came out of your mother's belly, you were all red, just like a roast lamb that has been skinned."

Twelve was silent, and he began to seriously think about the possibility of killing relatives righteously.

On the bumpy carriage, Jia Zheng maintained an expression of lovelessness, while Twelve had a murderous look on his face.As for Brother Lian, even though no one paid any attention to him, he was very happy talking about it alone. From Yingjieer to Twelve, from Twelve to Yuanjie, and even Zhugeer, there was nothing wrong with him. Notice the murderous look on the twelve faces.

Jia Zheng is more than just a life without love. From a rational point of view, it is beneficial and harmless to adopt sister Ying to the eldest family. Putting aside Mrs. Wang's selfishness, why doesn't he have no selfishness?Especially when it comes to that...

Speaking of which, it was two or three years ago. At that time, Jia She made a deal with him, asking him to tie down Jia Mu, and Jia She would give him the only place in the Dafang's Imperial College. Zhu Geer.In Jia Zheng's view, this deal is definitely a big profit.

What does a number of Guozijian students represent?You can skip the previous series of tedious exams and directly enter the general exam.After the three-day general examination, if you pass, you can take the palace examination. If you fail, you can take the examination after three years.However, if there is no such quota for Guozijian supervisors, it means that there will be two more exams, one is the Tongsheng Examination, and the other is the Township Examination.If it's just cumbersome, it's fine. Just think about it, if you are dismissed in the Tongsheng test, it will be a big embarrassment.It's not like him, he directly participated in the examination back then, even if he failed, it didn't matter.

The exam is extremely difficult. It is held every three years, but between [-] and [-] people pass it. It is normal to fail, but it is unbelievable to pass the exam!

But at that time, Jia She had only one son, brother Lian.Brother Lian has shown the same personality as Jia She since he was a child, and he is most impatient with studying.And because Brother Lian's status as the eldest son of the direct line would have allowed him to inherit the title, when Jia She promised to give the number of students in the Imperial College, he was very happy.

However, man is not as good as God!

Thinking in this way, Jia Zheng raised his eyes to look at Twelve, who was sullen and puffy, with mixed emotions in his heart.Although he often said that talent is not as important as hard work in the past, he has to admit that Twelve is much better than Brother Zhu and Brother Lian.Besides, even though he had made an agreement with Jia Amnesty back then, it was only a verbal promise without evidence, which really made him worry.

If Jia Amnesty repents when the time comes, what can he do?

"Second Uncle, what are you worried about?" Twelve suddenly said, Lian brother on the side paused, looked back and forth between Jia Zheng and Twelve, and then talked about Twelve incessantly. The thing about peeing your pants when you were a child.

"Cong'er, do you like studying?" Jia Zheng asked tentatively, how could he tell the truth.

"I don't like it." Twelve completely ignored Brother Lian who was nagging at the side, and said bluntly.He promised that Nala Shuxian would definitely win the first place in Enke, the new emperor's enthronement, but unfortunately, this did not mean that he liked studying.To be precise, he just likes to eat.

"Uh." Jia Zheng was obviously choked, and it took him a long time to find something to say again, "Then if your father asks you to study in the Imperial College, would you be willing?"

Twelve glanced at Jia Zheng quickly, but he understood a little bit, and said with a smile, "Second Uncle, can I make a deal with you?"

Even though he thought it was ridiculous, Jia Zheng nodded.

"I know that Second Uncle is reluctant to adopt Second Sister to our first wife, but my mother really likes Second Sister. If she insists on taking Second Sister away after nearly two years of raising her, she will be very sad and very sad. So, Second Uncle, let’s make a deal, I promise you, even if my father asks me to go to the Imperial College, I will never go.” Twelve showed a smile like a little devil, and said word by word, “I How about letting big brother Zhu go?"
