Jia She

After that, I tested a few more words, and the questions were also varied.

When can I marry a daughter-in-law, when my wife will give birth to a boy and a girl, when my mother will recover from illness, etc.

Jia Amnesty answered them one by one, which made some families happy and others sad.

It took more than an hour to take care of all these officials' children. The elder brothers walked around in the other courtyard and were about to get up to say goodbye. It was almost time for lunch.Jia Amnesty didn't want to keep him, and he didn't even intend to be a host... It hurts his heart to test so many characters for free, and it's the rhythm of his life to treat guests.

The elder brother who joined the party left, but the academy did not calm down. There were many people playing the piano, playing chess, and composing poems. Simply delightful.

The Gentleman's Courtyard is on fire, not only among the scholars, but also among the aristocrats, there is a saying that "Jia Enhou's fortune-telling thief is accurate".

After the prince returned to the mansion, he asked his servants to give Jia Shen two rare food bestowed by the emperor.Although it can't be exchanged for gold, he didn't plan to get paid, so it was a surprise.

What pleased Jia Amnesty was that such an arrangement would show that the crown prince has recognized his ability to measure characters, and that future customers will be rich in wealth.Within a day, the threshold of the Gentleman's Courtyard was breached, and more scholars and rich people came here.Many businessmen came to make fun of it, wanting to see what it looked like inside, but they were stopped in front of the mansion.

Seeing that you don't want to be a scholar like this, you want to go in?Okay, first answer two questions to prove that you are not illiterate.

Too many people were stopped, it's not that no one thought about stuffing money in, and the guards seemed determined to refuse to accept them.I wanted to rush in directly, but I was afraid of making things big.The opening of this shabby house can attract so many elder brothers to support it. Jia Enhou's backstage is very tough, and it may not end well to fight him to death.

The daily operation of the other courtyard is arranged by Jia Lian, and Jia Amnesty is only responsible for chatting with the talented scholar who has won seven consecutive victories. He is not clear about these details.A good start is a good thing, but just after returning home, Lai Da greeted him shyly after walking a few steps: "Master, you are back, the old lady has been waiting all day."

"What's the matter?"

"This...slave doesn't know either, you better hurry up and go there."

Jia Amnesty went to Shi Taijun's room alone, since nothing good would happen anyway, so he sent his cheap son back.There were quite a few people in Shi Taijun's room. Sitting next to her was Jia Baoyu, followed by important figures from the two rooms, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Wang Xifeng, and Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai who were guests at the house.As soon as Jia She entered the door, everyone's eyes were fixed on him, but he was steady and went to the front to greet Shi Taijun.

"You still have my mother in your heart? Look at what stupid things you have done!"

Knowing that this would be the opening remark, Jia Amnesty was not intimidated, and found a place to sit down on his own initiative, and asked with a smile, "I don't know what I did wrong, so please tell me clearly."

He has been trained more times, and he has developed a strong and iron frame. This calm attitude almost pissed Shi Taijun to death.

"You don't know what you did wrong? I'll tell you something. If you are not in charge, you don't know how expensive it is. You use the money from the family to do such a thing that costs thousands of money but has no benefit. Have you discussed it with me? Why don't you do it?" Courtyard, invite people to eat and drink for free, Brother Pan was actually stopped outside, and his own people were not allowed to enter..."

Just here, Jia Amnesty understood.

This time it wasn't the second child's complaint, it was the overlord of the Xue family who wanted to join in the fun and was turned away. He heard that Jia Amnesty was his boss and came to cause trouble.

"Mom, drink some hot tea to calm down, and I will explain one by one."

"First of all, my place is not a place for eating and drinking. The full name is 'Gentlemen's Courtyard', and I welcome scholars."

"Secondly, this project is very important, and it is my honor to be able to grab the opportunity."

"Besides, the house was given by brother Huang, and I didn't take any money. The renovation was paid out of my own pocket. I didn't ask my younger siblings to open the treasury. I was responsible for my own gains and losses, and no one else was responsible."

……

When he really said everything, Shi Taijun trembled with anger.

"I'm your mother! You didn't inform me of such a big decision in advance."

No wonder the original owner would linger in Fireworks and Willow Alley, his mother was so eccentric, what kind of life was he living.

Jia She is not easy to get angry with others, and the most effective trick is four or two, but at this moment, he lowered his face: "You all go out, I have something to say to mother." As soon as he finished speaking, Mrs. Xing stood up , Wang Xifeng was also preparing to leave, but the others did not move.

Shi Taijun slammed the tea bowl in his hand on the table, "It's going to turn the world upside down! If you have something to say, just say it!"

This is to prevent people from going out, that’s fine, Jia Amnesty turned to look at Shi Taijun: "This is a sign from the Long Live Lord, excuse me for not being able to explain the situation? The female family members in the backyard are not allowed to discuss government affairs indiscriminately. This is the rule of the Qing Dynasty. I am already 40 years old. Now, you know what to do and what not to do, and you don’t need to be instructed by others. If you can’t be satisfied with what you do, then divide the family, give the ancestral house to the second brother, and I will move out.”

Mrs. Xing is very willing to separate the family.Asking her to give up the ancestral house is like gouging out her heart. "If you want to move, you should be the second bedroom. Why do you want us to go? The second master is an official, so it's enough to ask the emperor to grant him a house."

Wang Xifeng was shocked. I didn't think that her mother-in-law Xing's lethality was quite powerful.

How old are you as his official?It's just a member of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce.

Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai exchanged glances and wanted to persuade, while Xue Pan waited to watch the fun.Mrs. Wang was stunned for a moment before she came back to her senses and was about to wipe away her tears: "Is Yuci's mansion so desirable? What are you doing to satirize our master?"

Mrs. Xing seemed to be refuting, but the Elder gave her a look: "What I said is useless, isn't it?"

"Master, you have to think about yourself anyway, how can you..."

She was interrupted again, "You shut up!"

As soon as he finished cooking the hapless lady, Shi Taijun broke out.

"What are you talking about? The old woman is not dead yet? What kind of family is divided? Since it is the meaning of Long Live God, you can just say it. The old woman will naturally support it. What is the yin and yang strangeness? I have eaten more than ten years of oil and salt. I don’t know. I hope you will go astray, just mention a few words, even if you don’t want to listen to it... People are old, useless, and you can’t blame others if you are rejected.”

Who is the yin and yang?He just said a few words objectively, and put forward a possible solution by the way, if he disagrees, it's fine, why make such a fuss.Jia Amnesty first promoted Kangxi, then talked about the law system of the Qing Dynasty, and even said that the family should be separated, all in order to block Shi Taijun's mouth.From the very beginning, he didn't want to make a fuss today, how should I put it... Everything has its definite order, it's not that there will be no fuss, it's not time yet.

Jia Amnesty asked again: "Is there something else for mother?"

He had just been sent to the first army, and his morale was greatly reduced. Shi Taijun didn't have the heart to say anything else. She waved her hand and said it was okay, and Jia Amnesty withdrew.When he was far away and he couldn't even hear the sound of footsteps, Mrs. Wang choked up: "Now the old man is so majestic, and the people who deal with him are all famous and respectable figures in the capital, but it's hard for us, life is really hard. gone."

Shi Taijun also found that the eldest son was not easy.

It's not okay to send it away like before.

Before she could come up with a countermeasure, Mrs. Wang made a fuss, "Okay, don't cry and cry, everyone go out, I'm tired, I'm here today. She'er is not what it used to be, don't think of any crooked ideas .”

Apart from having trouble with the Xing family, what crooked ideas can Mrs. Wang think of?Jia Lian is promising, and even Sister Feng doesn't listen to her, so she has a lot in her heart.This day, Jia She was going to attack Jia She, and he blocked the old lady's mouth with a few words, so that the second room could not speak out.Don't look at the fact that the old lady came to talk to him twice every day during this period, but she didn't get any benefits.

First, the two rooms changed yards to live in, and Jia Baoyu was unlucky in the fourth elder brother's mansion, and now he has created a gentleman's other courtyard.Hearing Xue Pan say that it was a business that was for free and would definitely lose money, Shi Taijun wanted to suppress Da Fang's arrogance, but he capsized again in the gutter.

Shi Taijun was depressed, so he fell ill, Mrs. Wang was still in charge of the affairs of the mansion, and did not mention the separation of the family.Mrs. Xing was gagged by Jia She, and Mrs. Wang was even more of a villain. She had already thought about it, now it is different from the past, if there is a separation at this juncture, the big house will definitely get more, who will let them have the prince to take care of them?

Moving out voluntarily is just talk, if Jia She really moves out, it will be troublesome.

With the virtue of the fourth elder brother, why don't you sue them?

This... can't be divided.

Everyone in the Rong Mansion has their own thoughts, Shi Taijun and Mrs. Wang's life is not going well, Jia Baoyu is still the same, if he can't get an advantage with the maid, he hangs out with Qin Zhong, and even goes out to find Qiguan.Although they were men, they had delicate faces and gentle temperaments, which made Jia Baoyu miss them a lot.The mother and daughter of the Xue family also had their own calculations. They used to think that their aunt had a high status in the Rongguo Mansion, and if they came to join her, they would definitely have a good connection.Now it seems that the situation is quite different from what was expected.

Mrs. Wang is indeed more capable than Jia She's house-filling wife, Mrs. Xing, and that's all, because the second master is just a member of the Ministry of Works, and he can't even talk to the female family members in the yard.The old man has never taken the imperial examination, he is uneducated, and many people look down on him... so what?He climbed up to the prince, more than one.

If you want to send Jia Baoyu to elder brother as a servant, it depends on what the old man wants. What use can they find Mrs. Wang?Sister Yuan did climb onto Lord Long Live's bed. There are so many women in the harem, but she is only the lowest rank. In front of the real nobles, she is a slave who carries shoes.

Sister Yuan is a high-ranking court lady, and she slapped the concubine De in the face, and now she is lingering in the Yonghe Palace.Isn't the fourth elder brother Yinzhen who is on good terms with the elder brother the real son of the concubine Wuya.

Even the servants in the house understand this truth.

They accelerated their steps to curry favor with the Grand Master.

The appearance of the gentleman's other courtyard shocked the entire capital.

Because of the leading role of the elder brothers, the Eight Banners children came out of the brothel song hall one after another, and directly joined the team of writing poems and painting.No matter what you do, a person is always lonely. It is difficult for you to let noble children study behind closed doors, because it is boring, and few people can sit still.Junzi Bieyuan opened a new door for them.

The word literati Xiangwei first appeared in the Three Kingdoms period, in "Dian Lun. Papers".It was Cao Pi, Emperor Gaozu of Cao Wei who made this statement, who was a famous statesman and writer during the Three Kingdoms period.

The original words are: "Madam is good at self-examination, but the text is not integrated, and it is seldom ready to be good. Therefore, each takes its own strengths and ignores the shortening."

The literati look down on each other, since ancient times.

This refers to the most common custom among literati, who despise each other.There is more than one subject for making a fuss, and most people don't cover everything. After all, no one is perfect, no gold is enough.This is not a big deal at first, the problem is that everyone likes to use their own strengths to compare each other's weaknesses, and then feel that I am the best in the world.

Ban Gu and Fu Yi have similar literary talents, but Ban Gu looked down on Fu Yi. When he wrote to his younger brother Ban Chao, he mentioned: "Fu Wuzhong became an official of Lantai Lingshi because of his ability to write articles. In fact, he has no literary talent at all. Write a thousand words, don't know what it means."

This little story can fully explain the psychological state of scholars. Most people cherish their brooms and think that Lao Tzu is a buried Maxima. Unfortunately, they did not meet Bole.Long Live Lord is indeed a wise king, but he is not good at choosing ministers, not to mention military generals. Suo'etu and Mingzhu, who are the heads of hundreds of officials, are just veterans fighting for power and profit.

If things go on like this, the country will not be a country.

There is more than one person who has this kind of thinking, and it is precisely this way that the gentleman's other courtyard can be visited like a cloud.Especially the Eight Banners, they don't obey anyone, and even have fateful opponents, who have been compared since birth, until now.

As long as they are normal people, they will not be willing to be oppressed.

Gentleman's Courtyard has been filled with flames of war since its opening.

Compare poems, words, and couplets.

Compare words, compare paintings, and compare chess skills.

……

But everything that is on the table has been rounded up. The Gentleman's House has a special competition system. It does not listen to the opinions of the family, but adopts a voting system. The total number of voters is always single, and you can't abstain from voting and you can't choose "tie", and the winners and losers will be separated.

The specific mode of operation of the Gentleman's Courtyard was conceived by Jia Lian.

For scholars, it is too simple and rude, but it is surprisingly easy to use.Many people think that it is difficult for you to choose the good and bad of two master-level works, but he insists that everyone start from the heart and pick the work that touches you more.

At first, there were some dissatisfaction, and some people even felt that those who made judgments were not as high as their own standards, so what qualifications did they have to point fingers.After spending more time in the gentleman's other courtyard, they will understand that learning and judging are two different concepts.You think your article is exquisite, but it is not the case in the eyes of others. Only when you have no interests involved can you give a rational judgment.When most literati read other people's works, they will subconsciously pick faults, making them objective and fair is harder than reaching the sky.

More and more people came out of the brothel and went to Junzi's Courtyard to join in the fun.

"I heard that all the college students of Nalan's family have gone, and they left calligraphy. I heard it is very exquisite."

"This is all yesterday's news. I also know that Mr. Zhang, who was a Jinshi in the first year, also went. I heard that Lien Chan Lianjie has won five games."

"Let's talk about Zhang Tingyu. It's already been seven matches. Even Xinke champion Lang has been beaten in the face. They are playing chess."

……

It's amazing.

Before this, who would have thought that Jia Enhou could do this?

Renovating and rebuilding the haunted house to make it a blessed place for scholars has become a new trend in the capital.

Zhang Tingyu had indeed won seven games in a row, and they were all serious opponents, and then he successfully met Jia She.

"So this is the mysterious gift?" Zhang Tingyu looked at Jia She, the elder of the Rongguo Mansion who was sitting opposite, and laughed, "I originally came to see it, but I was dragged into the water by Dong E's family, and I played several games... If I had known that the reward was this , You should work harder. I heard that on the day the other courtyard was opened, you tested the characters for all the elder brothers and the son of the minister who made fun of it, and it was very accurate. How about you take a look for me?"

The little book boy spread out the rice paper and asked him to write.

Zhang Tingyu didn't pick up his pen immediately, but started talking again: "I want to ask about my career, sir, let's see if I can achieve something and surpass my father's achievements."

Jia Amnesty glanced at him, and said with a smile: "If you ask this, you don't need to test the characters. There is a saying on the face that it is purple, and it is too late to see Fulu. That is to say, when the complexion turns lavender, Fulu will be lucky." Chi, you are a late bloomer. Your eyes are black and white, full of energy, the corners of the eyes are even, and the upper and lower eye lines are slender. This is the sleeping phoenix eye. It has a very high literary talent. It is the order of famous officials. A pen Do everything in the world; there is a small red mole between the eyes and in the wing of the nose. Once you get lucky, you will have a prosperous official career throughout your life...Achievement is destined to be above respected fathers, and it is unrivaled among Han people."

It's really not nonsense, Zhang Tingyu's face is really good.

Officially connected to the three dynasties, he is definitely the head of the Han people in the world.

Jia Amnesty picked and said several points, but Zhang Tingyu still couldn't believe it. He came from a good background, learned a lot, and had great ambitions. All of these were right.His father, Zhang Ying, is a bachelor, and he is quite respectable in front of the Long Live God. Is he more important than his father?

Originally, what he wanted to ask was whether he wanted to take the imperial examination again, but he didn't get the top three because he was a Jinshi, which was really unreasonable for his background.Now working in the Imperial Academy, no matter how you look at it, there is not much way out.Today can be said to be the most hesitant time in Zhang Tingyu's life. Once he gets out of such emotions, he will flourish and become unstoppable.

Jia She met him at the best time and made such a suggestion. From the initial bewilderment to a firm expression, Zhang Tingyu realized the transformation in a very short time. He bowed his hands to Jia She: "Listen to Mr. I was enlightened, and all the previous doubts were put aside. If in the future, I can really make it to that step, I will definitely be rewarded with a generous gift to thank Mr. for my kindness."

Zhang Tingyu went there with a tentative mentality, but when he came out, his face was rosy, and he couldn't stop his joy. Old friends surrounded him and asked him what kind of situation he was in there. Xie's kindness must always be reciprocated, creating a sense of mystery, and it would be good to attract some popularity to him.
