Jia Xun's entry into Beijing this time is no longer what it used to be. He has grown taller and grown up. Not to mention these things, although ten years will not change the sea, it is still enough for a poor family to succeed. Turn around, like the Jia family, with the efforts of Jia Xun and Xing Geer who have grown up in Jiajia and have become young men who can contribute to the family, a hundred acres of middle fields and 65 acres of sloping land , [-] acres of jujube groves, and a book shop, which is enough for them to call it a small landlord's home.

Although this is still very insufficient compared with other real big households in the countryside, most of the ordinary people who can be called landlords have one or two hundred acres of middle-aged fields, but who let their family have two scholars? It is also possible to raise a little bit of status.

Also because of this kind of property, the life of Jia's family is very easy, which makes Jia Xun's family support a little more when he goes to the capital. Not to mention, the Qi family alone gave 20 taels Brother Xing gave another five taels of silver, which was enough for Jia Xun to stay in the capital for a month, not to mention that he had a lot of private houses and took 15 taels from his wife. , In addition, there are nearly 200 taels in the private storage space. With such an addition, Jia Xun feels that his confidence is still good.

With this confidence, this is why Jia Xun has the courage to approach Jia's family again. He feels timid when he is close to the hometown. In the past, he always stood on the sidelines and watched from a distance. Now he can finally take a closer look at the original family. Go and see if the Jia family has made a new improvement after his act. Although the family relationship was weak back then, he never repaid the kindness of nurturing and teaching. The letter seems to have played a big role, but after all, he didn't do it himself, and he still feels that he still has a relationship with that family. Now that he has a new home, new parents and relatives, he also wants to pay back the karma and end it. , and one more thing, he also wants to see if he can find an opportunity to let him let go of that hatred and obsession, so that he can easily walk his own life, Mrs. Wang, this person has been entangled with him for two lifetimes, it is really a bit It's not worth it, especially now that he sees a good future, he should let go of what should be let go.

Jia Xun is a very planned person. After all, where is the experience? He knows what to do and what not to do with his current status. It is a big deal to ruin the current life for the past hatred. Fool, like him, now he should take the path of a literati, even if he is just a humble scholar, but speaking of it, apart from being difficult at the beginning, I am afraid that it will be more difficult than ordinary noble generals in the later period. It is easier for children to walk in the circle of literati.So he cherishes the hard-won status and opportunity now. This is the result of his ten years of hard work. Although there is no effective help, no one stops him. At this level, even if it is impossible to become an official in the future, it can be said that it is still possible to change to the status of an official.

Because of this, Jia Xun has been thinking about every step since he walked out of the village. When he was in the village, he was still low-key, just a long gown made of fine cotton, but when he arrived in the capital, he immediately changed into a blue silk suit. , although it is only a second-class product, but wearing fine cotton and silk can make people feel the difference in grade at first glance. A kind of grade from the root can be seen on this clothes.He came from a wealthy family, and he knows the eyes of wealth and honor the most. Although the capital city is at the foot of the emperor, it is said that it is the most prosperous place for enlightenment, but also because of this, it is also the most important for people to look at clothes first and then people. thorough.If you want to walk on the street without being underestimated, it is still necessary to pack yourself.

"It seems that you are quite clear about the rules of the capital."

As soon as he came out after changing his clothes, he heard Mrs. Wei's voice. He turned his head and saw that Mrs. Wei, who had just finished class, was also dressed in blue silk with dark patterns, with a gentle smile that was rarely seen in the village in the past. walked in.He also meaningfully looked Jia Xun around, and said:

"If I hadn't grown up watching you, looking at your words and deeds now, I'm afraid you would still think that you are a character from that down-and-out family. This bearing is really so interesting."

Don't you say that Master Wei's eyesight is really not bad now, isn't the Rongguo Mansion a family, the concubine in that family is poorly educated and came out of the main house, but it is still somewhat different from ordinary people, after all, in terms of knowledge It's a lot worse. In this way, it is naturally the pattern of a down and out family.

"Then I should really find out what kind of background my ancestors had, and somehow it was passed on to me from generation to generation. But Master Wei is a little different now."

Knowing that he was joking, it was impossible to see what it was, Jia Xun ended the topic with such a joke that was not a joke.

"I've stayed in a wealthy family for a long time, and I've seen a lot of playboys. If I'm still as old-fashioned as before, I'm afraid I'll be kicked out a long time ago."

Talking about this Master Wei is also full of bitterness, and when he walked up and down to sit on the stone table under the big tree in the courtyard, he poured out bitterness.

"Tell me, when you were in the village, those children were so happy to have a book to read. In order to have a book, each of them was greedy and saved money to buy the roughest paper and the cheapest paper. Pen, the worst ink, copying word by word by myself, even because I was afraid of copying badly, I don’t know how many times I have to practice on stone and wood. It’s still new, a piece of paper, if you don’t write on it until it’s useless, you’re absolutely unwilling to throw it away. The frugal one makes people feel sad, but everyone thinks that’s the only way to make sense. But here? Those children’s pens and papers are all provided by the clan. How can they be regarded as money to buy? It’s too wasteful, so I just wrote a word. I feel bad, so I just threw it away. If a corner is broken, it will be useless immediately, I looked at that prodigal, it was really not going to work, so I said a few words, and guess what they said?"

What else can I say?Jia Xun knows it without guessing, it must be that you didn’t buy it, and they can use the love of their clan as they like. After all, he was once a member of this group. How can they not know what kind of virtue these people are?Even he himself once secretly took the ink from this family school out and exchanged it for something to eat.

Sure enough, when Jia Xun laughed and didn't answer, Mr. Wei said:

"They actually said that I was meddling in my own business! I was really reluctant to waste such a waste, so in the end I simply gathered all these together, cut some paper that was still usable, and specially made copybooks, so that they could use it as a comparison for practice. , or make test papers, like those inks, put them together, save them, thinking about when you will bring them back to the village, and use them for the children in the village. When you go back this time, you just take them back. It’s good ink, and it will take a lot of time.”

When he said this, Jia Xun was stunned for a moment, and then he was full of respect. He knew how poisonous the mouths of the children here are. It’s okay to make those copybooks, but this picked up the ink they didn’t want. Thinking about it, I'm afraid that all these people will say that he is poor, or stingy, and taking advantage of small things, but Mrs. Wei still did this, just for the children in the village, how could this not make him respect.

"Master... this, I have wronged you."

He didn't know what to say other than this, Master Wei shook his hand nonchalantly, and continued:

"There is nothing to be wronged. These children are really spoiled by the family. They don't have too much malice. Besides, I have been here for so long in Jia's house, and I understand it a little bit. The aristocratic family has already shown signs of defeat. Although the Ning Mansion is the patriarch's family, it is useless. It is proficient in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. The grasping is still tight, and the others don't care. This clan school is taken care of more by the Rongfu's Master Xi, and most of the masters invited are from his side. There are civil and military, although not necessarily all He is a famous teacher, but after all, he has controlled a lot. These children are naughty and playful, but they have learned some skills after all, and they haven't made much trouble outside. Compared with the clansmen of other aristocratic families, they are quite honest. The nature is also better, and there are a lot less things about bullying men and women. There are still a few who are considered to be self-motivated. It seems that they may not be able to make further progress, but there are a few who may guard. In the future, it will be these nobles. It’s rare to have a long-term family.”

Hearing what Mrs. Wei said, Jia Xun felt relieved. He had heard it in his previous life. People outside said that only the stone lions at the entrance of Rongning Second Mansion were clean. If he didn't think about it, he felt relieved now. It looks like Back then, Uncle Jia Amnesty did it very thoroughly. It is estimated that even here in the Ning Mansion, the servants, servants, and management classes have also been cleaned up to a certain extent, so that those who bully others will get their retribution, otherwise the Jia family will not be able to be punished all the time. Fangzheng's Master Wei speaks more honest words than others.

Those gentlemen who are old dudes may not be a bad thing for Shixun’s family and military generals. If they are incompetent, the royal family will not have to worry about your huge power in the army. , don’t kill yourself, no one will pay attention to such a family, and naturally they can live a peaceful life. The most feared thing about such a family is the rotten roots inside, and most of the rotten roots come from these servants It started among people, and when these people are clean, there will be less right and wrong, and the family can last longer.

"Really, I've also heard that there was a riot a few years ago, and the Jia family settled down a little later. It can be seen that there are dead branches on the big tree, and these things have been removed. After all, the big family still has It's kind of deep."

It was also rare for Jia Xun to say a few good words. This was because he was happy for the Jia family, and he couldn't control his mouth.

"The dead branches of the big tree... It is indeed true. I only found out after I came here. I really didn't expect that there would be such a tragedy in this Rongfu. It can be seen that the family has a big business, and it may not be a good thing. Money is the root of disaster, if it weren’t for this, it wouldn’t have made the population so sparse and cost a few lives.”

Master Wei didn't know what he thought of, and his expression was a little more emotional. Jia Xun knew that he might get some relatively secret news from Master Wei, and he was instantly refreshed.
