Hearing Liuxia ask her where to settle at the gate of the courtyard, Jia Zheng realized that he was faced with an embarrassing question because of his filial piety: Should he have sex with Mrs. Wang?
According to my heart, it is impossible.But according to the etiquette of this era, as long as he doesn't take a day off from Mrs. Wang, the first and fifteenth day of every month is the time when Mrs. Wang is reasonable to ask him to pay the public rations.What's more, he just sent Aunt Zhou away, and he said that to Mrs. Wang again. After hearing Mrs. Wang's ears, he would naturally feel that he will only be Mrs. Wang in the future, so why not send someone to ask where he will be placed? Yet?
Fortunately, Jia Zheng still has a solution, he waved his hand at Liu Xia: "Go back and ask your wife to arrange for you. I went to the office the first day today, and I still have some things to deal with."
What Jia Zheng said was high-sounding, what can a girl like Liu Xia say?Helpless, he had no choice but to bow to Jia Zheng and retreat.Jia Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and came to his inner study.Not wanting to be in the study, there are still surprises waiting for him, a pretty girl, saluted Jia Zheng and said hello: "Master is back, do you want some supper?"
Frowning, Jia Zheng asked angrily: "Where do you work, who allowed you to enter the study?" You must know that although the west courtyard is not the main courtyard, there are as many as three entrances, and Jia Zheng's Of course, the inner study is located in the first entrance. If it is enlarged to the general's mansion, it is already within the scope of the outer courtyard. How can there be a girl here?
The girl showed an aggrieved attitude: "Returning to the master, the servant Xiulan is the new manpower added by the eldest wife to our yard. Madam said, let the servant serve in the master's inner study."
Jia Zheng's face was completely gloomy: "Did the wife tell you when you can enter the inner study?" After speaking, he began to look at the girl in front of him calmly, her head and face were still neat and her figure was considered slim , and at the age of eighteen ugly girls, she even dressed up a little bit, and there was something touching about it, but Jia Zheng couldn't bear such touching.
Xiulan heard Jia Zheng's unkindness, and hurriedly said: "Madam originally said that the servants should clean the house every day after the master goes to the yamen, and stay here during the day."
"Exactly. Madam's arrangements are not wrong, why are you still here at this hour?" Jia Zheng had his own guesses in his mind, and he wanted to see how stupid this girl was before he asked this question.
Xiulan's face turned pale, there were four of them were sent by the eldest wife, and the second wife's complexion was not good that day.It's just that she is the first wife's housekeeper now, and it's hard for the second wife to dismiss her.They have been excluded very obviously in the past few days, but there is no other way except to deal with it carefully.
Fortunately, the wife assigned them an errand today, and she was able to serve in the master's study, how could she not be secretly happy?Originally, she had heard from the older girls secretly saying that although the second master was usually upright, he valued Xiuju who was serving in his study very much.When she came to the second bedroom, the wife gave her the name Xiulan and asked her to wait in the inner study, so she naturally had the idea of looking up to her.
Who would have thought that the wife would only let her come to the inner study during the day, so when would she be able to see the master?Just now she vaguely heard his wife order Liu Xia to wait for the master at the gate of the courtyard, and she hid behind Liu Xia, the gatekeeper woman thought they were together, so she let her out without further questioning.
But the master didn't respond when he heard her name, and asked why she appeared in the inner study at this hour.In this case, let her answer as a girl.I had to call out shyly and timidly: "Master."
Jiuqu ileum is nothing more than that.Goosebumps came to Jia Zheng's body, he gave the shy girl with her head bowed a hard look, and called out to the door: "Come here!"
The servant at the door called Xiao Xiao and said, "What's your order?" Jia Zheng called him in, "Why are people still coming into the study at this hour?"
Ming Xiao explained: "This elder sister said that the wife asked her to serve the master."
Jia Zheng said to Ming Xiao with a sullen face: "Go to the second door and pass a message, please come over!" Ming Xiao quickly agreed to find someone to pass the message, and then asked people to clear the place of irrelevant people.Xiulan was already in a daze, what Mingxiao answered just now was indeed what she told him in order to enter the inner study.However, the word "serve" can make people think of a lot of content: it is said that serving tea and water for Jia Zheng, cleaning the study is service, but there is another interpretation in the house gate, that is, serving on the bed is also a kind of service.
But what Xiulan said was that the wife asked her to come!Mrs. Wang has said when she appeared in the inner study.In fact, her lies would have been exposed without Mrs. Wang coming over. If Jia Zheng didn't see that Xiulan was lying, he didn't need to ask his wife to come over.
It's not that Jia Zheng is cruel, nor is it that he didn't know that he was coming to the inner study just now, and Madam Wang was already angry, and he was looking for someone to vent his anger on.But what annoyed him even more was that Mrs. Wang had already lived in the west courtyard, and she only cared about her own small courtyard, so her control over the servants was still so weak.What's even worse is that the girls are so self-motivated. After leaving Xiuju for a few days, Xiulan came!
Ignoring Xiulan's pleas, Jia Zheng just read a book by himself, waiting to ask Mrs. Wang for an explanation.Fortunately, there are only three entrances to the west courtyard, so even if the servants from the outer courtyard can avoid it, it won't take long. Mrs. Wang has already appeared in the inner study.
"Master." Looking at Xiulan kneeling on the ground, Mrs. Wang's eyes seemed to have been stabbed, but she didn't know what the master planned to do with this big-hearted girl, so she called softly.
Jia Zheng put down his book and asked calmly, "Can you take care of this yard?"
What is this nonsense?Mrs. Wang looked at Xiulan who was kneeling again, and said to Jia Zheng: "It's because I'm not strict with housekeeping, please calm down. It's just that this girl was sent by the eldest wife to us. If she disposes of it, it may be for the eldest wife's face." Not pretty."
"The eldest wife sent people here, and they are the servants of the second room. As the mistress, are you going to be manipulated by the servants?" Jia Zheng said that he didn't believe this reason.In the original book, Mrs. Xing was so oppressed that she never got the right to be a housekeeper for the rest of her life. Mrs. Wang was not only relying on Jia Mu's support.
Mrs. Wang was also a little embarrassed that Jia Zheng's little thought was right.Think about Mrs. Xing asking to send the four maids here, and she said that she heard that Aunt Zhou had sent her, and she was afraid that the second master and the second wife would have no one to serve her, and Mrs. Wang would be very angry.Didn't she know that Xiulan had sneaked into the inner study today?She just wanted to see if the master really did what he said, he wanted to keep himself clean.
"It's just that my lord, my companions have almost been dismissed, and we don't have many people available. The eldest wife only sent four girls here. If I send this girl away again, I'm afraid there will be insufficient manpower for a while." Mrs. Wang was also wronged, and her accompanying room had to be dismissed, but the manpower was really stretched.
Jia Zheng also felt that Mrs. Xing was really out of place, a sister-in-law who meddled in her brother-in-law's affairs, how could she have such a big face.It's just that Mrs. Xing is not under his control, he can only take care of Mrs. Wang: "From now on, girls are not allowed to come in my inner study. It is enough to play the flute and the flute. Zhu'er has moved to the outer courtyard, and the servant is already married. It's all together, Yuan Chun is following the old lady again, and everyone is also there. You have four or five maids, if you think it's not enough, just tell me, and I'll send someone to pick someone from the village. For the rest, just use the maids."
Mrs. Wang was overjoyed, it seems that the master really didn't like this bitch, maybe he will really clean himself up in the future.According to what Jia Zheng said, sending back the four girls sent by Mrs. Xing was a slap in the face of Mrs. Xing.
"The inner and outer gates should be stricter. The Moon Gate, which is connected to the mansion, must also be guarded. Talking about right and wrong is not allowed!" Jia Zheng's good mood of the day has been wiped out.
Mrs. Wang agreed, and asked Xiulan to be dragged down. She reluctantly annoyed Jia Zhengdao again, and then led her back to the inner courtyard.
"Beep." A mechanical sound rang in Jia Zheng's ear, which reminded Jia Zheng that he still had a system that was useless or kidnapped. Because this system was so useless, he always forgot his existence.There was no reaction at all on the surface, just waiting for further prompts from the system: "Congratulations to the host, you have completed the hidden task, and you can sit still. You got a chance to draw a lottery, is it a lottery, is it a lottery?"
The corners of Jia Zheng's lips were about to twitch for some kind of messy hidden mission. He co-authored the previous lives, and when it was time to get married, he pulled himself away, because he was afraid that his concentration would not be enough, right?Now that I see myself rejecting two women face to face, do I feel like I can sit still?The key is that you didn't notice that people didn't sit in your arms?Let’s talk about his website, if you want to mess it up, he still needs to know how to mess it up, okay?Didn't look at his website, is he famous for only lingering from the neck up?
It's just that there is a chance to draw a lottery, and Jia Zheng will not let it go.What he got this time was a bottle of "hallucinogen", which also didn't have instructions for use, so he had to figure it out by himself.Fortunately, Jia Zheng is used to it, whether it is useful or not, put it away first.
Jia Zheng didn't care how Mrs. Wang rectified the internal affairs of the west courtyard, he only needed to see the results.It didn't work out, it didn't meet his request, so he hit it again.Now that he has walked out of the General's Mansion, his focus should be the Yu Heng Division of the Ministry of Industry, or the Military Supplies Department.
But because he is a newcomer, there is no real work assigned to him.He was not in a hurry, but just looked at the various original records every day, and he had a draft in his mind about how to deal with the things he might encounter in the future.
He was busy looking at the file, and others were also looking at him.It turned out that the Ministry of Industry had never visited the disciples of Xungui, how those people behaved, and what kind of impression they left in the Ministry of Industry, you can only know how the people in the Ministry of Industry saw Jia Zheng's excitement at the beginning.
But Jia Zheng changed everyone's prejudice against him bit by bit.First of all, it left a good first impression on everyone, so that he could be assigned to a relatively lucrative place.For more than ten days in a row, no one arranged affairs for him, so he just read the file quietly by himself, didn't look for the superior, didn't lose his temper, and didn't feel angry because he felt that he was underestimated.
In fact, anyone who has been in the workplace knows that when a newcomer arrives in the office, everyone is actually a little on guard. After all, they don't understand the person's temperament, nor do they know how to handle affairs. How can people accept you immediately.Jia Zheng's family background is good, but it's not enough for everyone to curry favor with him.
Everyone thinks that Jia Zheng's temperament is good, so more people talk to him.In addition, Jia Zheng did not deliberately make himself very frugal in order to show that he wanted to mingle with everyone. He brought whatever food he should bring for lunch, and shared it with everyone from time to time.
Because Jia Zheng understands that everyone knows that he is the second master of the general's mansion, and his food level is this standard.If you blindly seek common ground with others and have to bring some small Beijing officials' meals, that is pretentious.When sharing with others, what Jia Zheng showed was definitely not an expression of sympathy and charity, but simply "I have something good today, let's try it together".Sometimes, if he finds that a colleague's dish is unique, he is quite ashamed to ask for a taste.It's about a coming and going.Even if other people's dishes may not be as expensive as his, it's good to make people feel balanced.
In this way, by having lunch and chatting with his colleagues, Jia Zheng gradually became acquainted with people. When meeting for the first time every day, Master Zhang and Master Li would hug each other and say hello.Of course they also fought, but that was because Jia Zheng watched people from a distance, so he stood up and saluted them, and they had no choice but to return the salute reluctantly.It is completely different from the gesture of saluting when two people meet at the same time.
Jia Zheng didn't rely on his familiarity with people, so he immediately asked people for advice.It's not that he is high-minded, nor is he pretending to be arrogant, it's just that he knows that now is not the time to ask for advice.If he looked around for advice just by looking at the file, it would make people wonder whether he had ulterior motives when dining with others.
Of course, he does have ulterior motives, he is just a gentleman, he should be like the light, but he should not use or plot against others.So Jia Zheng waited patiently. He is only less than 30 years old now, and he has just been in the Ministry of Industry for less than a month, which is much less than 20 years.
They came and went again and again, and when the Military Supply Department was busy, someone would ask Jia Zheng to do a little favor.It's really just a small favor, just transcribing a manuscript, writing down a correspondence, and the like.This is actually some petty official and post-style work, but who keeps everyone busy now?
Every time the work was handed over to Jia Zheng, others would say some overqualified words with a smile on their face.Jia Zheng also said that he knew that the writers were busy, and he could help, so don't worry about it.Those who listened understood that Jia Zheng now really knew what kind of person he was and what kind of work he should do.It's just that you gave it to others, because we have a good relationship, so I help.It's not because I don't know how to do it, because I don't know that it's not my job.
For the work entrusted to him, Jia Zheng still completed it conscientiously.He wasn't in a hurry, and it wasn't his job. If he was really in a hurry, the owner could do it himself.He only asked himself not to make any mistakes: the manuscripts he transcribed, the square and square style of the pavilion, lined up horizontally and vertically.He has to read the records of contacts, exits and entries, and there must be the signature and stamp of the person in charge. Nothing is missing, otherwise he would rather not record it.
For this carefulness and seriousness, people have to say, so patient.Think about what happened the day he first came to the Ministry of Industry. You don't have to be a patient person to persist for an hour without being anxious.Looking at the written words again, it is obvious that hard work has been put in, and it is very consistent with the original good reading.
Therefore, more and more people agree with Jia Zheng: Although the Ministry of Industry is not a place for learning like the Imperial Academy and the Imperial Academy, those who can come here to be officials are mostly people who have been Jinshi in ten years of cold windows.Like Jia Zheng, who was airborne directly under the shadow of his father, there may not be one in two or three years.
Now everyone finds out that Jia Zhenghao's reputation for studying is not fake, so he automatically imagines that if it wasn't because of the father's legacy to seek an official for his son, he himself would have been born in the imperial examination.Apparently everyone has neglected that Jia Zheng is almost thirty now, if he is really talented, he shouldn't be one of them.However, Jia Zheng still felt the people's more and more respectful attitude when they talked to him, and he was secretly happy.
Even at home, there is a lot of good news.First, Jia Amnesty came to visit Mr. Yang in person, and knowing that he was less than three months away from being a filial piety, he begged him to return to Rongguo, oh, not the General's Mansion.When Mr. Yang heard that the Rongguo Mansion had been changed into the General's Mansion, he was surprised at first and then overjoyed. He agreed to be the husband of Jia Zhu and his wife after the filial piety.Afraid that the two children would waste their time in the past three months, they personally drew up their daily homework.
The homework is not heavy, if you put your heart into it, it can be completed in half a day.Mr. Yang said it well, you are a family of military achievements, you must not fall into the prestige of your ancestors, let the children have half a day to practice riding and shooting, just to keep fit.
Jia Amnesty knew that Mr. Yang was quite favored by the old man when Jia Daishan was around, and he could still listen to what he said.After discussing with Jia Zheng when he came back, he found a place in the outer courtyard near the two children's yards and set up a martial arts arena.In fact, it wasn’t that the family didn’t exist, it’s just that when the people from the Ministry of Rites came to give advice on the reform of the regulations, the place that Jia She and the others had chosen was said to be beyond the regulations, so they simply pushed it away.
The child's request to be a teacher has been settled, and Jia Sheyue has become more interested in being the head of the house, and has made arrangements to rectify the servants in the house.
He didn't dare to touch Jiamu's place, but because Lai's family had gone and their relatives and friends were removed, there was nothing left of Jiamu's staff in the mansion.The new chief housekeeper was chosen by Jia Mu with resentment.At that time, Jia's mother was thinking that Jia She would be humble with her, but who knew that Jia She was not a careful person, and was being held up by Jia Zheng one by one, thinking that Jia's mother, like Jia Zheng, realized her own abilities. Liu Zhu, who was the most active in plagiarizing the Lai family, was directly assigned.
If the butler is replaced by one of his own, the slaves in the mansion will not be far from being obedient.Taking advantage of the opportunity of filial piety, some have already been released, and now we will rectify them, that is, to optimize them.Of course, it is better to say that this matter has nothing to do with the servants of the general's mansion, and it is more appropriate to say that it is more appropriate to be taller in the scorpion.
But this has already shocked those servants a lot, and everyone understands the truth that one emperor and one courtier.What's more, Mrs. Xing is the housekeeper now, Jia She's words are very useful.In this way, a virtuous circle was formed, and the reorganization of the slaves was extremely smooth.
The servants in the west courtyard are also included in the rectification.The two households did not separate. What Jia Zheng said to Mrs. Wang that day was that the slaves assigned to the second household belonged to the second household, which was actually a little too much.It's just that if you don't say that at that time, those slaves will take chances and choose the lesser of two evils.
Fortunately, Mrs. Wang's accompanying room was forced by Jia Zheng early on to either disappear, be sent to an official, or be stuffed into Zhuangzi. The existing manpower is considered to be the General's Mansion.Even if Mrs. Wang is dissatisfied, she can't confront the wife in charge, or Mrs. Xing will say: Didn't the second wife manage the house like that back then?Mrs. Wang is even more shameless.
This day when Jia Zheng went down to the yamen, he first went to pay his respects to Mother Jia, and found that the old lady was not in a good mood, so he had to ask: "The old lady is not feeling well, do you need to ask the imperial doctor to see?"
Mother Jia shook her head: "Your sister wrote to you today, talking about taking a concubine for Uncle Lin. I feel uncomfortable. I'm just lazy. It doesn't matter."
Yes, there is also a fairy girl.The affection for Daiyu in several generations is not fake. Jia Zheng heard that it was the fairy lady's business, so he hurriedly said: "How can you be polite and talk about taking a concubine for your brother-in-law?"
Mother Jia sighed, "Your sister has been married for over ten years, and she has never been pregnant. The Lin family is a single heir for five generations. Why don't you rush?"
Jia Zheng thought for a while and said, "This child is also fate. The old lady of my brother-in-law's family was not in a hurry to take a concubine for my brother-in-law. Now that my sister has proposed it herself, have you discussed it with my brother-in-law?"
"Your sister is also doing it for the sake of the heirs. She is only thinking of the Lin family. Why discuss it with uncle." Jia's mother became impatient.
Knowing that someone wants to take a concubine, you are the one who is anxious.Ask about the situation, you are the one who is impatient.Jia Zheng thinks that Jia's mother must not have passed menopause.I can only persuade Mother Jia with good words: "It's not that I want to be troublesome. These days I go to the Ministry to do business, and I have talked a lot with those serious scholars, so I know that Qingliu's family is different from our nobles."
Seeing that Jia's mother stopped listening, she continued: "Most of them are over forty years old, and they have no children to take concubines. There is no rule in our house that releases two people from the house before they get married. I think before my sister gets married, We have also inquired, and my brother-in-law has no one in the room. Besides, Mrs. Lin never gave her brother-in-law a maid before she was alive. I think my brother-in-law is also following the fashion, so it is better to let my sister discuss it with him. It is also a good idea to do it something wrong."
"Is that so?" Mother Jia sighed, "No wonder your sister wrote to say that my uncle does not agree to take concubines."
Jia Zheng heard that there was something else in the words, and asked: "Didn't the old lady say just now that she felt uncomfortable because of her brother-in-law who wanted to take a concubine? Why am I confused?"
Mother Jia sighed again: "I was also in a hurry. I thought that your sister had been married for more than ten years, but she hadn't heard a baby cry. I was afraid that people would say that your sister controlled my son-in-law, which would hurt her reputation, so I let you go." She put the two girls in my uncle's room."
It's no wonder that Jia's mother was impatient just now. It was she who stirred up the affair, and she was annoyed because she didn't succeed.Combined with his fanciful understanding, Jia Zheng couldn't help but conspiratorialize Jia's mother's move: You, a mother-in-law, are so active in managing my uncle's house, do you want to control the Lin family through the inner house?
It's just that this is not something a son can say, and you have to be slow to persuade: "Of course, the old lady is thinking about her younger sister's reputation, but she should also take care of her brother-in-law's reputation. My brother-in-law is from a family background, and I cherish her most. Feather, however, how can Qingliu criticize this? Now that they have no children, it must be fate. What's more, my brother-in-law's family has always been a single passer-by, and our family is relatively prosperous. Why don't we just let the younger sister also find someone to take care of the younger brother-in-law? One or two."
Mother Jia always thought that something was wrong with Jia Min's body. This is also the habitual thinking of people in this era, and she really didn't think about Lin Ruhai.Now Jia Zheng's words reminded her that if Lin Ruhai's fault lies with Lin Ruhai, then she will be another ten or eight girls who give him credit, and if there are no seeds, the land will not produce melons.
"Your words reminded me. It's exactly what you said. I thought my uncle might think that the person your sister picked was not good-looking, so I thought about picking two smart ones from me and sending them to her. It seems that we should wait Wait. It's just how easy is it for your sister to talk to uncle about such things." Jia's mother was a little worried.
It's a good thing you didn't send it. If you did, let alone you, the entire General's Mansion would be wiped out.People don't think you are worried about the son-in-law's heirs, they just think that your Jia family is going to occupy the Lin Mansion - the Lin family also has their own servants, why use you, a mother-in-law, to give the son-in-law a girl.I'm afraid it wasn't the Jia family who gave birth to the next master of the Lin family?
Thinking about those fanfictions again, there are not a few people who suspect that Jia Min's infertility is because Mrs. Wang tampered with her dowry.But Jia Zheng felt that it was not enough.It's not that she believes in Mrs. Wang's character, but that Mrs. Wang doesn't have that opportunity: when Jia Min got married, she was still the housekeeper of Jia She's first wife.With Mrs. Wang's love of money, what good things can be added to Jia Min's makeup, and how many things can be added?
Seeing that Mother Jia didn't know how to remind the fairy lady, Jia Zheng said, "Why don't I write a letter to my brother-in-law, and have a good talk with him?"
Mother Jia thought the idea was good, so she urged him to go back and write a letter, so that she could pack up some things for Jia Min and send someone to Jiangnan together.Jia Zheng felt distressed, and said with a smile on his face: "It's not in a hurry. Tomorrow is the day to rest and take a bath. Why don't I go and ask for a peace talisman for my brother-in-law and younger sister, which is also a reason to write a letter to my brother-in-law. "
Mother Jia now feels that her sensible and filial son is back again, and everything he says is pleasing to the ear: "You never believed in this, but now you can think of asking for your sister, which shows that it is true filial piety. You can't just let you alone Work hard, let your brother go with you tomorrow."
Jia Zhengdao: "Brother is busy with restructuring these days, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave. We're all brothers, it doesn't matter who goes."
That said, but in Jia Mu's heart, Jia Zheng became her most beloved young son again: "Speaking of which, why did you send your Aunt Zhou away? And the Xiuju whom I rewarded you also let the family go." But your daughter-in-law can't tolerate people again, and got angry with you? It's okay, I still have a good person here, you just take it back later, I see what she dares to say. A person who is jealous every day, how can he have the dignity of a big family! "
This really makes people speechless, co-authoring your old man thinks that your girl is a panacea, and whoever rewards it is giving him great face, right?In the original book, from Jia Baoyu to Lin Daiyu to Shi Xiangyun, everyone has a girl appreciated by Jia Mu.But other people can do it. If Jia Zheng really wanted it, it would be embarrassing for people to say that it would be molesting his mother and maidservant!
"The old lady loves her son the most. It's just that I said just now that Qingliu is not happy to take concubines. Besides, I already have Zhu'er and Yuan Chun, and I don't have children, so why bother to praise girls." Jia Zheng must stop Jia's mother's whims, or she will point out which one in a while, and it will not end well.
Jia's mother was not happy: "This is our own family's business, what to listen to those poor people."
Jia Zheng hurriedly said: "The old lady is cautious. You must know that your son is now working in the Ministry of Industry, and it is time to make friends with Qingliu. Because his son is from a noble family, people don't agree. Better. How can anything happen now?"
How could Jia's mother understand that there are so many things to do as a small official of the sixth rank, and she felt that it would be worthwhile not to be an official.It's just that Jia Zheng is in high spirits now, and it's not good to pour cold water on him, so he has to let him go and wait for a while.
Jia Zheng didn't care what Jia's mother was up to, and he was counting his health cards in his heart as he walked, and tears were about to fall: there were only ten health cards in total, and four of them had been used in the previous life.In his last life, he didn't know which one was wrong, Lin Ruhai or Jia Min, so if he used it again this time, he could only give it to both of them. How could he not feel distressed?
Fortunately, if Daiyu's parents were both in good health, they wouldn't be born with a weak disease, and her share could be saved.As Lin Ruhai and Jia Min recovered, they might have other children, and Daiyu was not afraid of not having brothers to support her in this life.
But it still hurts.You must know that his current points are only 350 points, and he doesn't know how many lives to complete the requirements of heaven, but this health card is one less, and it will be gone in less than two times at this speed.
"Greetings, master." Jia Zhu and Jia Lian watched Jia Zheng approach with a gloomy face, and stood up early to salute him.Jia Zheng raised his head when he heard the voice, and found that he had already arrived in the outer courtyard.Glancing at the two children, "What are you doing here? Have you done all your homework today? Did you exercise in the afternoon?"
Jia and Zhu no longer trembled when they saw him: "I've finished my homework, and I ran a few laps in the afternoon. The old master asked us to teach us boxing."
Jia Lian also said: "I have learned [-]% of it, and Brother Zhu has not learned [-]% of it."
Jia Zheng took a look at the two of them, not to mention Jia Lian's rosy face, even Jia Zhu's face was bloody, which shows that this martial arts practice is still useful.Smiling, he said to the two of them, "The purpose of letting you practice martial arts is to keep you healthy. And I want you to know that nothing can be accomplished in a day. But Lian'er can learn [-]% of it, that's good. Zhu'er don't worry, If you don’t relax every day, you can always practice.”
Both brothers nodded and assured Jia Zheng that they would keep practicing.Jia Zheng asked, "Tomorrow I'm going to the temple to ask your aunt for a talisman to keep her safe. Are you going?"
Being able to go out is still a great temptation for the children, especially the young brothers who can't go out easily after observing their filial piety, they think it's good to just go for a walk in the temple.But Jia Lian asked, "Then will our master go?"
Although this Jia Zheng refuted it with Jia's mother, when Jia Lian asked, he couldn't just say that Jia Amnesty would not go, and said, "Ask your brother later if you can go or not. If you do, send someone." Come and tell me." Jia Lian said yes, and the three of them said goodbye.
When they went out, Jia Amnesty was on the list.Also, who doesn't want to erect a tall image in front of his son.I thought Jia Amnesty would let Jia Lian know that he also cared about his sister.
Because they wanted to go out of the city, the four of them took two cars, one for each of the two pairs of brothers.Jia Shecai asked Jia Zheng why he wanted to ask for amulets for Jia Min on the way: "Why is it not a year or a festival? I thought of asking for this."
Jia Zheng told Jia Mu's actions yesterday, only saying that he was also seeking safety.Jia Amnesty and Jia Min were in a mediocre relationship, and were not very interested in her affairs, so they only asked: "Xing Shi said that the second wife sent back all the maids she gave you, why?"
Naturally, Qingliu's reason was instilled in Jia Amnesty by Jia Zheng.After listening to him, Jia Amnesty also sighed: "You first sister-in-law's house is not Qingliu, and she mentioned Qingliu's behavior to me when she came to our house. It's just that the old lady moved my father at that time, so why would she listen. It's also a girl today, and a girl will be rewarded tomorrow. It made me have a reputation for being a lecher."
It seems that he didn't have no complaints about Jiamu, but he suppressed the word filial piety, and he couldn't understand the reason in his mouth, and he was a little anxious, and he used things to vent his anger if he couldn't win.It makes people look like a bit of a mix up.In the original book, the original owner lived in Rongxi Hall, so he was so angry that he sealed the moon gate leading to the main courtyard.
"Brother, don't be too self-sufficient. If you feel uneasy, why don't you light an ever-burning lamp for your elder sister-in-law today. Even Lian'er, you can ask him to add some lamp oil every year. My sister-in-law sees that your father and son are doing well. I'm happy to think about it." Jia Zheng could only persuade him like this.
Jia Amnesty never spoke again.After getting out of the car, he asked, "Why is it Tianqi Temple? I thought it was going to the family temple."
Jia Zheng shook his head and said, "I'm just going to talk to my elder brother about this matter. There are only a few nuns in our temple. Why don't we talk about their morality and deeds? It won't look like it if the men go. What's more, those nuns, There are endless people who go through the house and enter the house every day, talking about right and wrong, asking for alms and sesame oil. There is no such thing as a monk. Even the women in the market have more shame than them."
Considering that neither Shuiyuean nor Mantouan did any good in the original book, it is better to get rid of it now, so as to save Jia Lian from marrying Wang Xifeng again, and having a lawsuit with others.
Jia Amnesty nodded: "That's fine, when you go back, tell the old lady that you can do it if you can. Let the nuns go on their own."
In front of other people's temples, it is always disrespectful to talk about closing the nunnery.Jia Zheng said: "It's just that I don't prepare the case for that nunnery anymore, and then tell the temple that we are not allowed to act against our family temple from now on. Let Liu Zhu go to Shuntian Mansion to file a case. At any rate, there are some believers. Why destroy the incense of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas."
At this time, the brothers Jia Zhu had also come over, and he and Jia Zheng were devout pilgrimages.Jia Amnesty then led Jia Lian to light an ever-burning lamp for his mother, and told him not to forget to add oil to the lamp every year.It was the first time Jia Lian heard someone mention his mother so clearly, and the way he looked at Jia She was different.Jia Amnesty was embarrassed, and agreed to go back and tell him about his mother.
Jia Zheng was delighted to hear this, and felt that it was a merit for him to bring Jia She and his son closer.Jia Zhu also asked from the side: "Then do we have to light the eternal lamp for grandfather?"
For a while, Jia She and Jia Zheng were a little ashamed, they each praised Jia Zhu twice, and asked the Zhike to come over and refill the sesame oil money.I took the two of them to look at the inscriptions again, to see the mountain scenery again, and to taste the vegetarian food before heading back home.
After returning to the mansion, Jia Amnesty invited Jia Zheng to go and tell Jia's mother, but Jia Zheng said that the dust was too much in the day, why don't everyone go back to wash and change clothes, so as not to smell unclean to the old lady. .
Just kidding, originally he didn't agree with Jia Amnesty to go with him because he wanted to put the health card in the safety talisman in the car.Who knew that Jia Lian was a filial child and didn't want his father to be left behind in this matter. If he asked Jia Amnesty face to face whether he would go or not, Jia Zheng had no choice but to agree.It's just that this left him no time to install a health card.
As for Jia's mother, the letter was supposed to be delivered today, but he was delayed for a day with the idea of asking for a peace talisman.It is estimated that Jia's mother would not agree if it was not for the sake of his precious daughter.If you don't pretend now, then there is really no other chance.
Returning to the room to take the opportunity to wash up, he endured his distress to refill the safety talisman, and then took the letter he had written to Lin Ruhai with him. Jia Zheng changed his clothes and came to Rongqing Hall.Now Jia She lives in Rongxi Hall, which is more convenient than the west courtyard where he lives, and the two children are not related to him in Vladivostok, so he is the last one to come.
Jia Mu teased him: "But I'm tired, why did it take me so long to come here, I think I took a rest for a while."
Jia Zheng hurriedly said: "The old lady's words made me feel ashamed. Ordinarily, I should come to see the old lady directly, but I thought I had been walking for a day, and it was dusty and incense ash. I was afraid that the old lady would not like it. Then I went back to change my clothes. Unexpectedly, my brother is more anxious than me to be filial to the old lady, so I must see you first.
According to my heart, it is impossible.But according to the etiquette of this era, as long as he doesn't take a day off from Mrs. Wang, the first and fifteenth day of every month is the time when Mrs. Wang is reasonable to ask him to pay the public rations.What's more, he just sent Aunt Zhou away, and he said that to Mrs. Wang again. After hearing Mrs. Wang's ears, he would naturally feel that he will only be Mrs. Wang in the future, so why not send someone to ask where he will be placed? Yet?
Fortunately, Jia Zheng still has a solution, he waved his hand at Liu Xia: "Go back and ask your wife to arrange for you. I went to the office the first day today, and I still have some things to deal with."
What Jia Zheng said was high-sounding, what can a girl like Liu Xia say?Helpless, he had no choice but to bow to Jia Zheng and retreat.Jia Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and came to his inner study.Not wanting to be in the study, there are still surprises waiting for him, a pretty girl, saluted Jia Zheng and said hello: "Master is back, do you want some supper?"
Frowning, Jia Zheng asked angrily: "Where do you work, who allowed you to enter the study?" You must know that although the west courtyard is not the main courtyard, there are as many as three entrances, and Jia Zheng's Of course, the inner study is located in the first entrance. If it is enlarged to the general's mansion, it is already within the scope of the outer courtyard. How can there be a girl here?
The girl showed an aggrieved attitude: "Returning to the master, the servant Xiulan is the new manpower added by the eldest wife to our yard. Madam said, let the servant serve in the master's inner study."
Jia Zheng's face was completely gloomy: "Did the wife tell you when you can enter the inner study?" After speaking, he began to look at the girl in front of him calmly, her head and face were still neat and her figure was considered slim , and at the age of eighteen ugly girls, she even dressed up a little bit, and there was something touching about it, but Jia Zheng couldn't bear such touching.
Xiulan heard Jia Zheng's unkindness, and hurriedly said: "Madam originally said that the servants should clean the house every day after the master goes to the yamen, and stay here during the day."
"Exactly. Madam's arrangements are not wrong, why are you still here at this hour?" Jia Zheng had his own guesses in his mind, and he wanted to see how stupid this girl was before he asked this question.
Xiulan's face turned pale, there were four of them were sent by the eldest wife, and the second wife's complexion was not good that day.It's just that she is the first wife's housekeeper now, and it's hard for the second wife to dismiss her.They have been excluded very obviously in the past few days, but there is no other way except to deal with it carefully.
Fortunately, the wife assigned them an errand today, and she was able to serve in the master's study, how could she not be secretly happy?Originally, she had heard from the older girls secretly saying that although the second master was usually upright, he valued Xiuju who was serving in his study very much.When she came to the second bedroom, the wife gave her the name Xiulan and asked her to wait in the inner study, so she naturally had the idea of looking up to her.
Who would have thought that the wife would only let her come to the inner study during the day, so when would she be able to see the master?Just now she vaguely heard his wife order Liu Xia to wait for the master at the gate of the courtyard, and she hid behind Liu Xia, the gatekeeper woman thought they were together, so she let her out without further questioning.
But the master didn't respond when he heard her name, and asked why she appeared in the inner study at this hour.In this case, let her answer as a girl.I had to call out shyly and timidly: "Master."
Jiuqu ileum is nothing more than that.Goosebumps came to Jia Zheng's body, he gave the shy girl with her head bowed a hard look, and called out to the door: "Come here!"
The servant at the door called Xiao Xiao and said, "What's your order?" Jia Zheng called him in, "Why are people still coming into the study at this hour?"
Ming Xiao explained: "This elder sister said that the wife asked her to serve the master."
Jia Zheng said to Ming Xiao with a sullen face: "Go to the second door and pass a message, please come over!" Ming Xiao quickly agreed to find someone to pass the message, and then asked people to clear the place of irrelevant people.Xiulan was already in a daze, what Mingxiao answered just now was indeed what she told him in order to enter the inner study.However, the word "serve" can make people think of a lot of content: it is said that serving tea and water for Jia Zheng, cleaning the study is service, but there is another interpretation in the house gate, that is, serving on the bed is also a kind of service.
But what Xiulan said was that the wife asked her to come!Mrs. Wang has said when she appeared in the inner study.In fact, her lies would have been exposed without Mrs. Wang coming over. If Jia Zheng didn't see that Xiulan was lying, he didn't need to ask his wife to come over.
It's not that Jia Zheng is cruel, nor is it that he didn't know that he was coming to the inner study just now, and Madam Wang was already angry, and he was looking for someone to vent his anger on.But what annoyed him even more was that Mrs. Wang had already lived in the west courtyard, and she only cared about her own small courtyard, so her control over the servants was still so weak.What's even worse is that the girls are so self-motivated. After leaving Xiuju for a few days, Xiulan came!
Ignoring Xiulan's pleas, Jia Zheng just read a book by himself, waiting to ask Mrs. Wang for an explanation.Fortunately, there are only three entrances to the west courtyard, so even if the servants from the outer courtyard can avoid it, it won't take long. Mrs. Wang has already appeared in the inner study.
"Master." Looking at Xiulan kneeling on the ground, Mrs. Wang's eyes seemed to have been stabbed, but she didn't know what the master planned to do with this big-hearted girl, so she called softly.
Jia Zheng put down his book and asked calmly, "Can you take care of this yard?"
What is this nonsense?Mrs. Wang looked at Xiulan who was kneeling again, and said to Jia Zheng: "It's because I'm not strict with housekeeping, please calm down. It's just that this girl was sent by the eldest wife to us. If she disposes of it, it may be for the eldest wife's face." Not pretty."
"The eldest wife sent people here, and they are the servants of the second room. As the mistress, are you going to be manipulated by the servants?" Jia Zheng said that he didn't believe this reason.In the original book, Mrs. Xing was so oppressed that she never got the right to be a housekeeper for the rest of her life. Mrs. Wang was not only relying on Jia Mu's support.
Mrs. Wang was also a little embarrassed that Jia Zheng's little thought was right.Think about Mrs. Xing asking to send the four maids here, and she said that she heard that Aunt Zhou had sent her, and she was afraid that the second master and the second wife would have no one to serve her, and Mrs. Wang would be very angry.Didn't she know that Xiulan had sneaked into the inner study today?She just wanted to see if the master really did what he said, he wanted to keep himself clean.
"It's just that my lord, my companions have almost been dismissed, and we don't have many people available. The eldest wife only sent four girls here. If I send this girl away again, I'm afraid there will be insufficient manpower for a while." Mrs. Wang was also wronged, and her accompanying room had to be dismissed, but the manpower was really stretched.
Jia Zheng also felt that Mrs. Xing was really out of place, a sister-in-law who meddled in her brother-in-law's affairs, how could she have such a big face.It's just that Mrs. Xing is not under his control, he can only take care of Mrs. Wang: "From now on, girls are not allowed to come in my inner study. It is enough to play the flute and the flute. Zhu'er has moved to the outer courtyard, and the servant is already married. It's all together, Yuan Chun is following the old lady again, and everyone is also there. You have four or five maids, if you think it's not enough, just tell me, and I'll send someone to pick someone from the village. For the rest, just use the maids."
Mrs. Wang was overjoyed, it seems that the master really didn't like this bitch, maybe he will really clean himself up in the future.According to what Jia Zheng said, sending back the four girls sent by Mrs. Xing was a slap in the face of Mrs. Xing.
"The inner and outer gates should be stricter. The Moon Gate, which is connected to the mansion, must also be guarded. Talking about right and wrong is not allowed!" Jia Zheng's good mood of the day has been wiped out.
Mrs. Wang agreed, and asked Xiulan to be dragged down. She reluctantly annoyed Jia Zhengdao again, and then led her back to the inner courtyard.
"Beep." A mechanical sound rang in Jia Zheng's ear, which reminded Jia Zheng that he still had a system that was useless or kidnapped. Because this system was so useless, he always forgot his existence.There was no reaction at all on the surface, just waiting for further prompts from the system: "Congratulations to the host, you have completed the hidden task, and you can sit still. You got a chance to draw a lottery, is it a lottery, is it a lottery?"
The corners of Jia Zheng's lips were about to twitch for some kind of messy hidden mission. He co-authored the previous lives, and when it was time to get married, he pulled himself away, because he was afraid that his concentration would not be enough, right?Now that I see myself rejecting two women face to face, do I feel like I can sit still?The key is that you didn't notice that people didn't sit in your arms?Let’s talk about his website, if you want to mess it up, he still needs to know how to mess it up, okay?Didn't look at his website, is he famous for only lingering from the neck up?
It's just that there is a chance to draw a lottery, and Jia Zheng will not let it go.What he got this time was a bottle of "hallucinogen", which also didn't have instructions for use, so he had to figure it out by himself.Fortunately, Jia Zheng is used to it, whether it is useful or not, put it away first.
Jia Zheng didn't care how Mrs. Wang rectified the internal affairs of the west courtyard, he only needed to see the results.It didn't work out, it didn't meet his request, so he hit it again.Now that he has walked out of the General's Mansion, his focus should be the Yu Heng Division of the Ministry of Industry, or the Military Supplies Department.
But because he is a newcomer, there is no real work assigned to him.He was not in a hurry, but just looked at the various original records every day, and he had a draft in his mind about how to deal with the things he might encounter in the future.
He was busy looking at the file, and others were also looking at him.It turned out that the Ministry of Industry had never visited the disciples of Xungui, how those people behaved, and what kind of impression they left in the Ministry of Industry, you can only know how the people in the Ministry of Industry saw Jia Zheng's excitement at the beginning.
But Jia Zheng changed everyone's prejudice against him bit by bit.First of all, it left a good first impression on everyone, so that he could be assigned to a relatively lucrative place.For more than ten days in a row, no one arranged affairs for him, so he just read the file quietly by himself, didn't look for the superior, didn't lose his temper, and didn't feel angry because he felt that he was underestimated.
In fact, anyone who has been in the workplace knows that when a newcomer arrives in the office, everyone is actually a little on guard. After all, they don't understand the person's temperament, nor do they know how to handle affairs. How can people accept you immediately.Jia Zheng's family background is good, but it's not enough for everyone to curry favor with him.
Everyone thinks that Jia Zheng's temperament is good, so more people talk to him.In addition, Jia Zheng did not deliberately make himself very frugal in order to show that he wanted to mingle with everyone. He brought whatever food he should bring for lunch, and shared it with everyone from time to time.
Because Jia Zheng understands that everyone knows that he is the second master of the general's mansion, and his food level is this standard.If you blindly seek common ground with others and have to bring some small Beijing officials' meals, that is pretentious.When sharing with others, what Jia Zheng showed was definitely not an expression of sympathy and charity, but simply "I have something good today, let's try it together".Sometimes, if he finds that a colleague's dish is unique, he is quite ashamed to ask for a taste.It's about a coming and going.Even if other people's dishes may not be as expensive as his, it's good to make people feel balanced.
In this way, by having lunch and chatting with his colleagues, Jia Zheng gradually became acquainted with people. When meeting for the first time every day, Master Zhang and Master Li would hug each other and say hello.Of course they also fought, but that was because Jia Zheng watched people from a distance, so he stood up and saluted them, and they had no choice but to return the salute reluctantly.It is completely different from the gesture of saluting when two people meet at the same time.
Jia Zheng didn't rely on his familiarity with people, so he immediately asked people for advice.It's not that he is high-minded, nor is he pretending to be arrogant, it's just that he knows that now is not the time to ask for advice.If he looked around for advice just by looking at the file, it would make people wonder whether he had ulterior motives when dining with others.
Of course, he does have ulterior motives, he is just a gentleman, he should be like the light, but he should not use or plot against others.So Jia Zheng waited patiently. He is only less than 30 years old now, and he has just been in the Ministry of Industry for less than a month, which is much less than 20 years.
They came and went again and again, and when the Military Supply Department was busy, someone would ask Jia Zheng to do a little favor.It's really just a small favor, just transcribing a manuscript, writing down a correspondence, and the like.This is actually some petty official and post-style work, but who keeps everyone busy now?
Every time the work was handed over to Jia Zheng, others would say some overqualified words with a smile on their face.Jia Zheng also said that he knew that the writers were busy, and he could help, so don't worry about it.Those who listened understood that Jia Zheng now really knew what kind of person he was and what kind of work he should do.It's just that you gave it to others, because we have a good relationship, so I help.It's not because I don't know how to do it, because I don't know that it's not my job.
For the work entrusted to him, Jia Zheng still completed it conscientiously.He wasn't in a hurry, and it wasn't his job. If he was really in a hurry, the owner could do it himself.He only asked himself not to make any mistakes: the manuscripts he transcribed, the square and square style of the pavilion, lined up horizontally and vertically.He has to read the records of contacts, exits and entries, and there must be the signature and stamp of the person in charge. Nothing is missing, otherwise he would rather not record it.
For this carefulness and seriousness, people have to say, so patient.Think about what happened the day he first came to the Ministry of Industry. You don't have to be a patient person to persist for an hour without being anxious.Looking at the written words again, it is obvious that hard work has been put in, and it is very consistent with the original good reading.
Therefore, more and more people agree with Jia Zheng: Although the Ministry of Industry is not a place for learning like the Imperial Academy and the Imperial Academy, those who can come here to be officials are mostly people who have been Jinshi in ten years of cold windows.Like Jia Zheng, who was airborne directly under the shadow of his father, there may not be one in two or three years.
Now everyone finds out that Jia Zhenghao's reputation for studying is not fake, so he automatically imagines that if it wasn't because of the father's legacy to seek an official for his son, he himself would have been born in the imperial examination.Apparently everyone has neglected that Jia Zheng is almost thirty now, if he is really talented, he shouldn't be one of them.However, Jia Zheng still felt the people's more and more respectful attitude when they talked to him, and he was secretly happy.
Even at home, there is a lot of good news.First, Jia Amnesty came to visit Mr. Yang in person, and knowing that he was less than three months away from being a filial piety, he begged him to return to Rongguo, oh, not the General's Mansion.When Mr. Yang heard that the Rongguo Mansion had been changed into the General's Mansion, he was surprised at first and then overjoyed. He agreed to be the husband of Jia Zhu and his wife after the filial piety.Afraid that the two children would waste their time in the past three months, they personally drew up their daily homework.
The homework is not heavy, if you put your heart into it, it can be completed in half a day.Mr. Yang said it well, you are a family of military achievements, you must not fall into the prestige of your ancestors, let the children have half a day to practice riding and shooting, just to keep fit.
Jia Amnesty knew that Mr. Yang was quite favored by the old man when Jia Daishan was around, and he could still listen to what he said.After discussing with Jia Zheng when he came back, he found a place in the outer courtyard near the two children's yards and set up a martial arts arena.In fact, it wasn’t that the family didn’t exist, it’s just that when the people from the Ministry of Rites came to give advice on the reform of the regulations, the place that Jia She and the others had chosen was said to be beyond the regulations, so they simply pushed it away.
The child's request to be a teacher has been settled, and Jia Sheyue has become more interested in being the head of the house, and has made arrangements to rectify the servants in the house.
He didn't dare to touch Jiamu's place, but because Lai's family had gone and their relatives and friends were removed, there was nothing left of Jiamu's staff in the mansion.The new chief housekeeper was chosen by Jia Mu with resentment.At that time, Jia's mother was thinking that Jia She would be humble with her, but who knew that Jia She was not a careful person, and was being held up by Jia Zheng one by one, thinking that Jia's mother, like Jia Zheng, realized her own abilities. Liu Zhu, who was the most active in plagiarizing the Lai family, was directly assigned.
If the butler is replaced by one of his own, the slaves in the mansion will not be far from being obedient.Taking advantage of the opportunity of filial piety, some have already been released, and now we will rectify them, that is, to optimize them.Of course, it is better to say that this matter has nothing to do with the servants of the general's mansion, and it is more appropriate to say that it is more appropriate to be taller in the scorpion.
But this has already shocked those servants a lot, and everyone understands the truth that one emperor and one courtier.What's more, Mrs. Xing is the housekeeper now, Jia She's words are very useful.In this way, a virtuous circle was formed, and the reorganization of the slaves was extremely smooth.
The servants in the west courtyard are also included in the rectification.The two households did not separate. What Jia Zheng said to Mrs. Wang that day was that the slaves assigned to the second household belonged to the second household, which was actually a little too much.It's just that if you don't say that at that time, those slaves will take chances and choose the lesser of two evils.
Fortunately, Mrs. Wang's accompanying room was forced by Jia Zheng early on to either disappear, be sent to an official, or be stuffed into Zhuangzi. The existing manpower is considered to be the General's Mansion.Even if Mrs. Wang is dissatisfied, she can't confront the wife in charge, or Mrs. Xing will say: Didn't the second wife manage the house like that back then?Mrs. Wang is even more shameless.
This day when Jia Zheng went down to the yamen, he first went to pay his respects to Mother Jia, and found that the old lady was not in a good mood, so he had to ask: "The old lady is not feeling well, do you need to ask the imperial doctor to see?"
Mother Jia shook her head: "Your sister wrote to you today, talking about taking a concubine for Uncle Lin. I feel uncomfortable. I'm just lazy. It doesn't matter."
Yes, there is also a fairy girl.The affection for Daiyu in several generations is not fake. Jia Zheng heard that it was the fairy lady's business, so he hurriedly said: "How can you be polite and talk about taking a concubine for your brother-in-law?"
Mother Jia sighed, "Your sister has been married for over ten years, and she has never been pregnant. The Lin family is a single heir for five generations. Why don't you rush?"
Jia Zheng thought for a while and said, "This child is also fate. The old lady of my brother-in-law's family was not in a hurry to take a concubine for my brother-in-law. Now that my sister has proposed it herself, have you discussed it with my brother-in-law?"
"Your sister is also doing it for the sake of the heirs. She is only thinking of the Lin family. Why discuss it with uncle." Jia's mother became impatient.
Knowing that someone wants to take a concubine, you are the one who is anxious.Ask about the situation, you are the one who is impatient.Jia Zheng thinks that Jia's mother must not have passed menopause.I can only persuade Mother Jia with good words: "It's not that I want to be troublesome. These days I go to the Ministry to do business, and I have talked a lot with those serious scholars, so I know that Qingliu's family is different from our nobles."
Seeing that Jia's mother stopped listening, she continued: "Most of them are over forty years old, and they have no children to take concubines. There is no rule in our house that releases two people from the house before they get married. I think before my sister gets married, We have also inquired, and my brother-in-law has no one in the room. Besides, Mrs. Lin never gave her brother-in-law a maid before she was alive. I think my brother-in-law is also following the fashion, so it is better to let my sister discuss it with him. It is also a good idea to do it something wrong."
"Is that so?" Mother Jia sighed, "No wonder your sister wrote to say that my uncle does not agree to take concubines."
Jia Zheng heard that there was something else in the words, and asked: "Didn't the old lady say just now that she felt uncomfortable because of her brother-in-law who wanted to take a concubine? Why am I confused?"
Mother Jia sighed again: "I was also in a hurry. I thought that your sister had been married for more than ten years, but she hadn't heard a baby cry. I was afraid that people would say that your sister controlled my son-in-law, which would hurt her reputation, so I let you go." She put the two girls in my uncle's room."
It's no wonder that Jia's mother was impatient just now. It was she who stirred up the affair, and she was annoyed because she didn't succeed.Combined with his fanciful understanding, Jia Zheng couldn't help but conspiratorialize Jia's mother's move: You, a mother-in-law, are so active in managing my uncle's house, do you want to control the Lin family through the inner house?
It's just that this is not something a son can say, and you have to be slow to persuade: "Of course, the old lady is thinking about her younger sister's reputation, but she should also take care of her brother-in-law's reputation. My brother-in-law is from a family background, and I cherish her most. Feather, however, how can Qingliu criticize this? Now that they have no children, it must be fate. What's more, my brother-in-law's family has always been a single passer-by, and our family is relatively prosperous. Why don't we just let the younger sister also find someone to take care of the younger brother-in-law? One or two."
Mother Jia always thought that something was wrong with Jia Min's body. This is also the habitual thinking of people in this era, and she really didn't think about Lin Ruhai.Now Jia Zheng's words reminded her that if Lin Ruhai's fault lies with Lin Ruhai, then she will be another ten or eight girls who give him credit, and if there are no seeds, the land will not produce melons.
"Your words reminded me. It's exactly what you said. I thought my uncle might think that the person your sister picked was not good-looking, so I thought about picking two smart ones from me and sending them to her. It seems that we should wait Wait. It's just how easy is it for your sister to talk to uncle about such things." Jia's mother was a little worried.
It's a good thing you didn't send it. If you did, let alone you, the entire General's Mansion would be wiped out.People don't think you are worried about the son-in-law's heirs, they just think that your Jia family is going to occupy the Lin Mansion - the Lin family also has their own servants, why use you, a mother-in-law, to give the son-in-law a girl.I'm afraid it wasn't the Jia family who gave birth to the next master of the Lin family?
Thinking about those fanfictions again, there are not a few people who suspect that Jia Min's infertility is because Mrs. Wang tampered with her dowry.But Jia Zheng felt that it was not enough.It's not that she believes in Mrs. Wang's character, but that Mrs. Wang doesn't have that opportunity: when Jia Min got married, she was still the housekeeper of Jia She's first wife.With Mrs. Wang's love of money, what good things can be added to Jia Min's makeup, and how many things can be added?
Seeing that Mother Jia didn't know how to remind the fairy lady, Jia Zheng said, "Why don't I write a letter to my brother-in-law, and have a good talk with him?"
Mother Jia thought the idea was good, so she urged him to go back and write a letter, so that she could pack up some things for Jia Min and send someone to Jiangnan together.Jia Zheng felt distressed, and said with a smile on his face: "It's not in a hurry. Tomorrow is the day to rest and take a bath. Why don't I go and ask for a peace talisman for my brother-in-law and younger sister, which is also a reason to write a letter to my brother-in-law. "
Mother Jia now feels that her sensible and filial son is back again, and everything he says is pleasing to the ear: "You never believed in this, but now you can think of asking for your sister, which shows that it is true filial piety. You can't just let you alone Work hard, let your brother go with you tomorrow."
Jia Zhengdao: "Brother is busy with restructuring these days, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave. We're all brothers, it doesn't matter who goes."
That said, but in Jia Mu's heart, Jia Zheng became her most beloved young son again: "Speaking of which, why did you send your Aunt Zhou away? And the Xiuju whom I rewarded you also let the family go." But your daughter-in-law can't tolerate people again, and got angry with you? It's okay, I still have a good person here, you just take it back later, I see what she dares to say. A person who is jealous every day, how can he have the dignity of a big family! "
This really makes people speechless, co-authoring your old man thinks that your girl is a panacea, and whoever rewards it is giving him great face, right?In the original book, from Jia Baoyu to Lin Daiyu to Shi Xiangyun, everyone has a girl appreciated by Jia Mu.But other people can do it. If Jia Zheng really wanted it, it would be embarrassing for people to say that it would be molesting his mother and maidservant!
"The old lady loves her son the most. It's just that I said just now that Qingliu is not happy to take concubines. Besides, I already have Zhu'er and Yuan Chun, and I don't have children, so why bother to praise girls." Jia Zheng must stop Jia's mother's whims, or she will point out which one in a while, and it will not end well.
Jia's mother was not happy: "This is our own family's business, what to listen to those poor people."
Jia Zheng hurriedly said: "The old lady is cautious. You must know that your son is now working in the Ministry of Industry, and it is time to make friends with Qingliu. Because his son is from a noble family, people don't agree. Better. How can anything happen now?"
How could Jia's mother understand that there are so many things to do as a small official of the sixth rank, and she felt that it would be worthwhile not to be an official.It's just that Jia Zheng is in high spirits now, and it's not good to pour cold water on him, so he has to let him go and wait for a while.
Jia Zheng didn't care what Jia's mother was up to, and he was counting his health cards in his heart as he walked, and tears were about to fall: there were only ten health cards in total, and four of them had been used in the previous life.In his last life, he didn't know which one was wrong, Lin Ruhai or Jia Min, so if he used it again this time, he could only give it to both of them. How could he not feel distressed?
Fortunately, if Daiyu's parents were both in good health, they wouldn't be born with a weak disease, and her share could be saved.As Lin Ruhai and Jia Min recovered, they might have other children, and Daiyu was not afraid of not having brothers to support her in this life.
But it still hurts.You must know that his current points are only 350 points, and he doesn't know how many lives to complete the requirements of heaven, but this health card is one less, and it will be gone in less than two times at this speed.
"Greetings, master." Jia Zhu and Jia Lian watched Jia Zheng approach with a gloomy face, and stood up early to salute him.Jia Zheng raised his head when he heard the voice, and found that he had already arrived in the outer courtyard.Glancing at the two children, "What are you doing here? Have you done all your homework today? Did you exercise in the afternoon?"
Jia and Zhu no longer trembled when they saw him: "I've finished my homework, and I ran a few laps in the afternoon. The old master asked us to teach us boxing."
Jia Lian also said: "I have learned [-]% of it, and Brother Zhu has not learned [-]% of it."
Jia Zheng took a look at the two of them, not to mention Jia Lian's rosy face, even Jia Zhu's face was bloody, which shows that this martial arts practice is still useful.Smiling, he said to the two of them, "The purpose of letting you practice martial arts is to keep you healthy. And I want you to know that nothing can be accomplished in a day. But Lian'er can learn [-]% of it, that's good. Zhu'er don't worry, If you don’t relax every day, you can always practice.”
Both brothers nodded and assured Jia Zheng that they would keep practicing.Jia Zheng asked, "Tomorrow I'm going to the temple to ask your aunt for a talisman to keep her safe. Are you going?"
Being able to go out is still a great temptation for the children, especially the young brothers who can't go out easily after observing their filial piety, they think it's good to just go for a walk in the temple.But Jia Lian asked, "Then will our master go?"
Although this Jia Zheng refuted it with Jia's mother, when Jia Lian asked, he couldn't just say that Jia Amnesty would not go, and said, "Ask your brother later if you can go or not. If you do, send someone." Come and tell me." Jia Lian said yes, and the three of them said goodbye.
When they went out, Jia Amnesty was on the list.Also, who doesn't want to erect a tall image in front of his son.I thought Jia Amnesty would let Jia Lian know that he also cared about his sister.
Because they wanted to go out of the city, the four of them took two cars, one for each of the two pairs of brothers.Jia Shecai asked Jia Zheng why he wanted to ask for amulets for Jia Min on the way: "Why is it not a year or a festival? I thought of asking for this."
Jia Zheng told Jia Mu's actions yesterday, only saying that he was also seeking safety.Jia Amnesty and Jia Min were in a mediocre relationship, and were not very interested in her affairs, so they only asked: "Xing Shi said that the second wife sent back all the maids she gave you, why?"
Naturally, Qingliu's reason was instilled in Jia Amnesty by Jia Zheng.After listening to him, Jia Amnesty also sighed: "You first sister-in-law's house is not Qingliu, and she mentioned Qingliu's behavior to me when she came to our house. It's just that the old lady moved my father at that time, so why would she listen. It's also a girl today, and a girl will be rewarded tomorrow. It made me have a reputation for being a lecher."
It seems that he didn't have no complaints about Jiamu, but he suppressed the word filial piety, and he couldn't understand the reason in his mouth, and he was a little anxious, and he used things to vent his anger if he couldn't win.It makes people look like a bit of a mix up.In the original book, the original owner lived in Rongxi Hall, so he was so angry that he sealed the moon gate leading to the main courtyard.
"Brother, don't be too self-sufficient. If you feel uneasy, why don't you light an ever-burning lamp for your elder sister-in-law today. Even Lian'er, you can ask him to add some lamp oil every year. My sister-in-law sees that your father and son are doing well. I'm happy to think about it." Jia Zheng could only persuade him like this.
Jia Amnesty never spoke again.After getting out of the car, he asked, "Why is it Tianqi Temple? I thought it was going to the family temple."
Jia Zheng shook his head and said, "I'm just going to talk to my elder brother about this matter. There are only a few nuns in our temple. Why don't we talk about their morality and deeds? It won't look like it if the men go. What's more, those nuns, There are endless people who go through the house and enter the house every day, talking about right and wrong, asking for alms and sesame oil. There is no such thing as a monk. Even the women in the market have more shame than them."
Considering that neither Shuiyuean nor Mantouan did any good in the original book, it is better to get rid of it now, so as to save Jia Lian from marrying Wang Xifeng again, and having a lawsuit with others.
Jia Amnesty nodded: "That's fine, when you go back, tell the old lady that you can do it if you can. Let the nuns go on their own."
In front of other people's temples, it is always disrespectful to talk about closing the nunnery.Jia Zheng said: "It's just that I don't prepare the case for that nunnery anymore, and then tell the temple that we are not allowed to act against our family temple from now on. Let Liu Zhu go to Shuntian Mansion to file a case. At any rate, there are some believers. Why destroy the incense of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas."
At this time, the brothers Jia Zhu had also come over, and he and Jia Zheng were devout pilgrimages.Jia Amnesty then led Jia Lian to light an ever-burning lamp for his mother, and told him not to forget to add oil to the lamp every year.It was the first time Jia Lian heard someone mention his mother so clearly, and the way he looked at Jia She was different.Jia Amnesty was embarrassed, and agreed to go back and tell him about his mother.
Jia Zheng was delighted to hear this, and felt that it was a merit for him to bring Jia She and his son closer.Jia Zhu also asked from the side: "Then do we have to light the eternal lamp for grandfather?"
For a while, Jia She and Jia Zheng were a little ashamed, they each praised Jia Zhu twice, and asked the Zhike to come over and refill the sesame oil money.I took the two of them to look at the inscriptions again, to see the mountain scenery again, and to taste the vegetarian food before heading back home.
After returning to the mansion, Jia Amnesty invited Jia Zheng to go and tell Jia's mother, but Jia Zheng said that the dust was too much in the day, why don't everyone go back to wash and change clothes, so as not to smell unclean to the old lady. .
Just kidding, originally he didn't agree with Jia Amnesty to go with him because he wanted to put the health card in the safety talisman in the car.Who knew that Jia Lian was a filial child and didn't want his father to be left behind in this matter. If he asked Jia Amnesty face to face whether he would go or not, Jia Zheng had no choice but to agree.It's just that this left him no time to install a health card.
As for Jia's mother, the letter was supposed to be delivered today, but he was delayed for a day with the idea of asking for a peace talisman.It is estimated that Jia's mother would not agree if it was not for the sake of his precious daughter.If you don't pretend now, then there is really no other chance.
Returning to the room to take the opportunity to wash up, he endured his distress to refill the safety talisman, and then took the letter he had written to Lin Ruhai with him. Jia Zheng changed his clothes and came to Rongqing Hall.Now Jia She lives in Rongxi Hall, which is more convenient than the west courtyard where he lives, and the two children are not related to him in Vladivostok, so he is the last one to come.
Jia Mu teased him: "But I'm tired, why did it take me so long to come here, I think I took a rest for a while."
Jia Zheng hurriedly said: "The old lady's words made me feel ashamed. Ordinarily, I should come to see the old lady directly, but I thought I had been walking for a day, and it was dusty and incense ash. I was afraid that the old lady would not like it. Then I went back to change my clothes. Unexpectedly, my brother is more anxious than me to be filial to the old lady, so I must see you first.
