Jia Mu's Rebirth

Jia She followed Jia Daishan all the way to the study, and when he reached the door of the study, Jia Daishan left two servants standing at the door to watch at a distance. Afterwards, the father and son went in. After sitting down, Jia Daishan asked first, "She Ah, now that you have passed the Juren examination, what do you plan to do in the future?"

"Father, what do you say?" Jia She looked at Jia Daishan suspiciously. If he passed the Juren exam, he would go on to the Chunwei exam next year. What other plans could he have?

"You are 15 years old now, and you have won the Juren, so you can be regarded as an adult now. So there are some things, my father still wants to hear your thoughts. You first talk about your next plan Let me hear it for my father."

Jia She heard what his father said, so he thought carefully in his heart, organized his words, and said: "Father, my son is thinking about going to the Chunwei exam next year. If he is lucky enough to pass the exam, even if he fails the exam." In fact, it doesn't matter, anyway, my son is still young, and then he will study hard for another three years, and then he will take the next exam!"

"Well, you're right if you think so. You've already given us a lot of face in the house by passing the Juren exam this time. Don't have any psychological pressure. It's best to pass the Jinshi exam. It doesn't matter if you fail the exam. Just take the exam next time. Look, there are a lot of people who have not passed the exam for children, some of them are older than your father, and you just passed the exam once. He's a Juren, but he's already really amazing." Hearing what his son said, Jia Daishan, who had been worried about his son, finally heaved a sigh of relief and let go of his worries.

Anyway, my son is still young, so it doesn't matter if he takes the exam a few more times, but don't worry about it because of too much pressure.But it turns out that this year, by coincidence, more than one scholar has become mentally disturbed because he failed to pass the exam for decades!In fact, this kind of thing happens every few years, but this year it is more concentrated, so it is widely spread. After this matter got to Jia Daishan's ears, he has been worried about his son. I was afraid that I would fail the exam next year, and I couldn't bear the blow in my heart, so I called my son to the study room, intending to enlighten him, but who knew that his son's heart was like a mirror, so he didn't worry about it for nothing!

"Don't worry, father, my son knows what's in his heart. Don't worry about you. My son won't be like those pedantic sour scholars who don't have any self-knowledge." Hearing his father's words, Jia She was really I was very touched, and my father was also worried about himself. The story of those mentally disturbed scholars had already spread.In fact, from the bottom of my heart, Jia Amnesty looked down on the behavior of those talented people. He should be a little self-aware. He failed the exam after decades.After repeated trials and failures, I still don't know the reason to find out myself, to see if I am really not a material for studying.They are quite old, and they can't do anything except study and spend money. It doesn't mean that the family has a lot of money, so they rely on the elderly to provide for them. Do some work and lighten some of the burden on the family.There is a fart for talking all day long!

"Ahem!" Seeing his son's teasing eyes, Jia Daishan coughed a little uncomfortably, "You brat!"

"By the way, since you are back now, remember to bring a gift to see your master tomorrow!" Ever since Jia She became a teacher, the relationship between the Zhang family and the Rongguo Mansion has become much closer. exchange of gifts.

"Don't worry, father, it's already been prepared. My son found a good inkstone in Jinling this time, and I will send it to the master tomorrow." How could the filial Jia She forget his own master.

The father and son got together again and chatted for a long time. After that, one went back to his yard, and the other went to find his wife.no escape (gl)

The next day, it coincided with the officials' rest day, Jia Amnesty got up early in the morning, practiced kung fu in his yard for a while, had breakfast, and went to report to the elders again. With a bunch of well-prepared gifts, he went straight to Master Zhang Qingde's house.

After arriving, the gatekeeper saw that his master's apprentice had come, so he let him in. As soon as Jia Amnesty came back yesterday, he quickly sent his servants to hand over invitations, so everyone in Zhang's mansion knew that he wanted to coming.Jia Amnesty basically belonged to the kind of free entry and exit in his master's house. Normally, he didn't need to notify when he came here. This time, it's been too long since he didn't come, so he didn't want to come suddenly. That's why he handed it over in advance. Because of this, the doorkeeper saw it and opened the door to let him in.

Zhang Qingde, who knew that his beloved disciple was coming early in the morning, did not go out on the rare rest day, and waited in the mansion early.After Jia Amnesty came, he first visited the master, and then followed the master to the inner courtyard to meet the teacher's wife, then offered his own gift, and after the teacher accepted it, he followed the master to the study to talk.

"Master, where are the two senior brothers?" Jia Amnesty asked Zhang Qingde's two sons, the eldest Zhang Weihui, the second child Zhang Weiyao, Zhang Qingde is over 40 years old this year, the age difference between the two sons is not much different, only three years old, the youngest is already They are over twenty years old, so Jia She called them senior brothers. Zhang Qingde only has one regular wife and no concubines, so the two sons are all born to the regular wife.

"Both of your senior brothers were called out by friends of the same year. You should be back in the afternoon, and then you will have a good time." Zhang Qingde stroked the beard on his chin, and looked at his apprentice with a smile: "Not bad, boy It can be taught, you did well in the exam this time!" Looking at the apprentice who gave him a lot of face, he was very happy.Don't think that he doesn't know. After he accepted such a meritorious family as an apprentice, many people secretly read his jokes. What's going on now? Facts have proved that he still has his own vision!

"However, you must not be complacent. You must know that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky beyond the sky. In the future, a lot of hard work is needed!" Afraid that his precious apprentice would be confused by the success of the exam this way, he hurriedly added another sentence.

"Thank you, Master, for your praise! Don't worry, I won't be fooled by these little fame and fortune. In the future, I will work harder and study harder. Master, don't worry!" Knowing that Master is the same as my father They were all worried about themselves, so Jia Amnesty hurriedly said something nice to appease him.

As an apprentice, Jia She was awarded the Juren at a very young age. Although it is true that there are people who are younger than Jia She, it is rare for Jia She to do this, so the joy in Master Zhang's heart is no less than that of his own father. Jia Daishan.He is different from Jia Daishan, an illiterate old man, he doesn't know the level of his precious apprentice.Let’s not talk about the big three yuan, but it’s not impossible to get a small three yuan exam. However, my apprentice is a thief who likes to keep a low profile, so he can get in the top few exams every time, but he is never No.1.When asked, he also said that this is just right, and it will be a blockbuster when Chunwei comes.But there are people who can get just right in every exam, unless they are really capable, so Zhang Qingde won't worry about Jia She failing the Jinshi exam.

After hearing Jia Amnesty's assurance, Zhang Qingde was satisfied, so he checked his apprentice's homework first, and after finding that he did not fall behind, he stroked the beard on his chin in satisfaction, and then assigned a new homework for his apprentice , told him not to slack off, and then the two had a good exchange, and at noon, they stayed with Jia She for dinner. After eating, they saw that the two sons had not come back, so they had no choice but to let Jia She go back. , Said that they would call their brothers and sisters to get together later, anyway, they were all in the capital, and there was not a little time difference between left and right.

After Jia Amnesty went home, Zhang Qingde said to his wife: "Madam, my apprentice has been accepted well! It really gives my husband a face. Since I knew he passed the exam, look, I used to laugh. For those who have no vision for their husbands, now who sees their husbands without a look of envy and hatred! Haha, what a joy!" Ghost King's gold medal favorite concubine

"That's right, She'er is really good. Of course, the master's teaching is also very good." Seeing her husband so happy, Mrs. Zhang felt very comforted.

"Hey, it's a pity! I don't know which one is cheaper for such a good apprentice in the future!" Zhang Qingde thought that his apprentice is already 15 years old this year, and he is afraid that he will get married in a few years. It is a pity that there is no girl in his family. It is also very good for the apprentice's family to form an in-law.

"Our family doesn't have a girl, but the eldest brother's family does!" Zhang Qingde realized that he had actually spoken out his heart when he heard his wife's words.

"That's right! The elder brother's Yumei is just 14 years old this year, and she is not engaged, so it seems quite suitable." Zhang Qingde patted his thigh, and said to his wife: "That's a good idea, madam, you can visit her another day Call my sister-in-law, mention it to her, see what she thinks, and come back and talk to my husband when the time comes."

"Success! I'll go to my sister-in-law tomorrow to inquire about it." When she first saw the little Jia She, who was carved in powder and jade, Mrs. Zhang liked this little boy who looked like a good fortune boy under the seat of Guanyin Bodhisattva. She also watched Jia Amnesty grow up. She knows everything about his personality and family background. He is really a good candidate for a son-in-law.

The eldest brother they mentioned refers to Zhang Qingde's direct elder brother, whose surname is Zhang, first name is Qinghou, and style name is Taiping.Zhang Qinghou has three sons and one daughter. The eldest son Zhang Weizhe is 27 years old, the second son Zhang Weiming is 23 years old, the youngest son Zhang Weiyu is 19 years old, and the youngest daughter Zhang Yumei is 14 years old.

Of course, it doesn't mean that the two wives of the Zhang family are all powerful, and there is no concubine or concubine in the family.In fact, the Zhang family is a family of scholars for generations, and there is an ancestor's precept in the family. All Zhang family sons must be over [-] years old and have no children before they can take concubines.Of course, not being allowed to take concubines does not mean that there are no maids who are allowed to have concubines. Therefore, it was later stipulated that in the case of a legitimate wife who has a son, Tongfang and the like are never allowed to give birth to the next generation of the Zhang family. No matter male or female.This is a good guarantee for the interests of the main wife and the legitimate children. Of course, these regulations are not set for no reason, it is really a bloody lesson!

In Zhang Qingde's generation, there were only brothers and two boys, but in the next generation there were five, and all of them were well-educated. Even the youngest Zhang Weiyu had already passed the Juren examination.Although none of the four older brothers above him passed the first-class exam, the worst one was the second-class exam, even though the ranking was really relatively low.The eldest brother, Zhang Qingde, the eldest brother of Zhang Qinghou's family, Zhang Weizhe, after passing the second-class Jinshi examination, he was also admitted as a Shujishi. His father can be regarded as his immediate boss.

Zhang Qingde and Zhang Qingde are brothers of the same father and the same mother. They have a very good relationship, and they separated peacefully after their parents died. There is no contradiction, so the relationship between the two brothers is only because of "" The relationship between "far away fragrance and near smell" is better if you live far away. Of course, the sister-in-law is in charge of their own house, and there is no conflict such as fighting for power and profit, so the relationship is also very good, otherwise it is so good The son-in-law can think of their youngest daughter!

The next day, Mrs. Zhang Er went to her sister-in-law's place to find out what happened in the carriage.Coincidentally, the eldest wife of the Zhang family is considering her daughter's son-in-law recently. After hearing the second wife of Zhang's talk about Jia She's family background, she didn't like it at first, but then she heard that Jia She had already made a name for herself. , and I think it’s okay, especially when I heard that Jia Amnesty’s house is very clean until now, and there is no such thing as a housekeeper, I am even more satisfied, but I didn’t respond positively, only saying that I will wait for my master to come back Discuss and give her an answer.Afterwards, the two sisters-in-law got together to talk for a while, and before Mrs. Zhang left her for lunch, Mrs. Zhang left and went back to her house.

After returning home, Zhang Qingde listened to his wife's report, and thought that this matter must never be separated, so he put it aside and waited for his elder brother to come to find him.The commoner life of a wealthy daughter

On the other side, Mrs. Zhang, who was said to be itchy by her sister-in-law, sent her servants to wait at the door immediately after sending her away. When she saw the master came back, she told him that she had something to look for. He discussed, if there is nothing important to be busy, he should hurry over.

In the evening, after finishing his busy work, Zhang Qinghou, who had just returned to the mansion, was called by his wife anxiously.After entering Mrs. Zhang's room, Mrs. Zhang immediately drove away the people in the room, dragged him to tell the story of the day, and then asked: "Master, I sound pretty good, but I've been inside the inner house all day, so I don't know much about the outside world, and I don't know if it's good or not, so master, please give me an idea!"

After hearing his wife's words, Zhang Qinghou was stunned for a moment. He really knew about his younger brother's apprentice. He had actually met his younger brother several times before. Now that he passed the exam, it would be even better. He is also very optimistic about it, but he never thought of recruiting him as his son-in-law.After all, the highest official position in my family is only from the fourth grade. Although it is a family of scholars for many generations, it is fine, but it is not as good as compared with Rongguo Mansion. Can people take a fancy to my family?

I thought about it, so I said it, but after Mrs. Zhang heard it, she sneered and said: "His family is good, but ours is not bad. If it weren't for the war, our Zhang family had a disaster, and now If it’s just beginning to slow down, now it’s uncertain who is climbing whom! Besides, if there is no such meaning, how could the siblings come over and ask!”

Zhang Qinghou thought it was right: "Why don't I find time tomorrow to ask my second brother?"

"Of course I have to ask, that's his own niece."

So the next day, as soon as Zhang Qinghou left the yamen, he went straight to his brother's house.After meeting, the two brothers had a good talk, and he expressed his worries. Of course, in addition, he was also worried about whether his daughter's life would be difficult after she married. After all, Just because Jia Amnesty has no one around now, doesn't mean there will be no one in the future!And I don't know what kind of person Jia She's mother is, whether she will embarrass her daughter-in-law or something.Of course, he can't force others to maintain the status of his wife and son-in-law like his own family, but at least he needs some guarantees!

Zhang Qingde analyzed the benefits of recruiting Jia She as his son-in-law with his eldest brother in detail, and then said to him: "Brother, if my younger brother had a daughter, I would have given it to him long ago. What a good candidate! In fact, my younger brother, I Just a mention, we don't know if the elders are willing or not! As for the issues you are worried about, my brother will ask you. You, just wait for news from my brother!" Zhang Qingde, who is like a human being, has long It can be seen that Jia Daishan is thinking, isn't he just wanting to transform into a literati? Now that he is handed over such a good ladder, he is very sure that Jia Daishan will climb up along it.However, there is no absolute, it is safer to ask privately first.

Therefore, Zhang Qingde found an opportunity to find Jia Daishan to test it out. As expected, Jia Daishan agreed without hesitation, and also made a promise that after his son's daughter married, he would have nothing to say in five years. , will give his son a concubine or something.Of course, he was smart enough not to say anything about housekeeping rights. His own daughter-in-law took care of it quite well, and if the daughter-in-law didn't want to take care of it, let her take care of it.

After getting Jia Daishan's personal promise, Zhang Qinghou finally felt relieved, so he opened his mouth and agreed to the marriage of the two families.Afterwards, Jia Daishan, who received a definite reply, suddenly remembered that he forgot to tell the old lady and his wife in advance!
