But when they heard that Jia’s family was rich, Jia Jing and Jia She’s hearts skipped a beat: It’s not a bad thing to be envied by others for their wealth, but as a family who owes money to others, being pointed out by creditors as having a rich family is not a bad thing. It's not a good thing: your family is so rich, why didn't you say that you paid back the money from the treasury early?
Just as Jia Jing was about to open his mouth, Jia Amnesty had already opened his mouth and explained in detail how his family prepared to spend so much money.Fortunately, there is a sentence at the end: "The late father may have thought about repaying the money a long time ago, so the family has been saving all the time, or where did he get the 40 silver."
In front of today, what are you going to do with the details of cheating your brother and daughter-in-law's natal family?If others say, Jia Jing still suspects that his brother is going to put eye drops on the Wang family here today, but that's Jia Amnesty, he doesn't have the brains to put eye drops on others, it's almost the same if others give him eye drops .
Even a saint, I have never seen Jia She speak so confidently about cheating people like this.But thinking about how he just used his own children under the age of marriage to prove that the family can live on, now I think this may be an honest person, right?
So what if it's dishonest?It is real to get the money back now.It is aggrieved to say that today, he has always cherished his feathers, so naturally he would not do the thing of collecting debts from his courtiers.But he is not ignorant of the situation of the treasury. If the Ministry of Household Affairs is not watching closely now, I am afraid that the IOUs will be full.
In such a large empire, when will it not encounter some natural and man-made disasters?These all cost money.So now we are very short of money, and I am very satisfied that Jia's family can come and pay back the money they owe.It's just that nowadays, who has always regarded himself as benevolent, he doesn't want to make people think that once the veteran leaves, he will force other people's children to pay off the debt.
So when he asked the Jia family if they could live on, it was purely out of concern.And to say that the Jia family has a strong family background is just lamenting that Ningrong and Rongfu will live well: now that there are more and more people borrowing money from the treasury, doesn't it seem that the Ningrong and Rongfu families who can repay the money are doing well?
Who knew there was a more innocent Jia She, who actually told all about cheating on his in-laws.If he still doubted whether Jia Amnesty was an honest person just now, now he no longer doubts - such a embarrassing thing is too embarrassing to talk about it, how can it be dishonest?
The sage felt that he couldn't continue talking to this honest man, lest he hear something he shouldn't hear again, so he waved his hands to let the two kneel down.The eunuch led the two of them out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the brothers looked at each other, and Jia Jingcai asked cautiously: "Look, father-in-law, should we brothers go through the procedures at the household department?" department.
The eunuch didn't know whether they should go or not.In line with the principle that one thing more is worse than one thing less, I still said: "The two of you should go back and wait, maybe you will get what you want."
Jia Amnesty muttered, "But I'm going back to Jinling soon to observe my filial piety." Jia Jing had already put a purse into the eunuch's hand, and I don't know if the eunuch heard it.
Facts have proved that the eunuch's ears are quite good. Of course, it also shows that Jia Jing's purse was not handed over for nothing.Not long after the two returned to the mansion, they were talking to Jiamu about the performance before the imperial court. Liu Wang, whom Jia Shexin mentioned, sent a message to the second door: "There is an order from the palace, please old ladies and gentlemen. Hurry up and get ready."
People's current purpose is also official, not to praise Jia Jing and Jia Amnesty's behavior of returning the money from the treasury, but Jia Amnesty's approval of the noble.Jia's mother can understand some of the long classical Chinese, which generally means that Jia She has a good character and has the legacy of his father and grandfather, so he ordered him to attack the Marquis - Marquis of Rongguo.
It really frightened Mother Jia. It is true that the Duke is a Marquis, but Jia Amnesty is a first-class general in the original book.Many fans thought that it was because of his bad reputation and poor performance in the examination that he was downgraded so badly. Now it seems that he still has opinions on those old ministers who have not paid back their money.
Even Jia Jing didn't like it when he heard it. Although his father no longer had the position of Duke, he was really inferior to being a first-class general.Seeing that Jia Amnesty has only been demoted to a first-class rank, do you still know that this is a credit owed.It's not that I don't complain about the present in my heart, so tell me sooner that you are short of money.But no matter who he said this to, he couldn't say it. If he wanted to blame, he could only blame his own mother, not as decisive as the old lady in Rongguo Mansion.It seems that my family will still follow the pace of Dianrong Guofu in the future.
Here, Jia Amnesty is only proud: he doesn't know how others can win the title, but he still knows how to compare with Jia Jing.So anyone with a good face can see it.The eunuch who came to deliver the decree was the great eunuch from the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and he saw Jia Amnesty's expression completely.He also saw the act of the Duke's wife quietly reminding Jia Amnesty to pay attention.
The eunuch who was invited into the main hall to drink tea also handed Jia Jing and Jia Amnesty two yellowed IOUs, an answer to their questions outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.Jia Zheng on the other side was envious, but he couldn't say a word, so he could only watch his cousin and elder brother flattering the eunuch, and felt that their behavior was really flattering and degrading.
But even in the filial piety period, the people in Rongguo Mansion are still very excited.The life of the master of the family is easy, and the life of the servants will also be improved.Therefore, Jia Zheng's emotions cannot affect others in the slightest.Speaking of today's decree, the eyes of the people in this house are all looking at the Eldest Master, how many of them will pay attention to the Second Master?
Jia Zheng, who was almost ignored by people, felt very unhappy staying at home, so he had to take someone out to see how the work he was assigned was going.He could see that his brother who had accomplished nothing only did everything according to the old lady's requirements, so he got such a good deed.If he can also handle the things that the old lady told him well, maybe there will be some benefits.Don't forget, in the will of his father's death, he also begged for an official.
Here, Jia Mu and Jia Jing and Jia She are also talking: "You two still have to go to the palace to thank you. It's one thing whether the saint sees you, but we have to have the proper etiquette. And the boss, After you thank you, go to the Ministry of Rites by yourself."
Jia Amnesty was a little puzzled: "I don't know when the sage will see us, why do we still have to go to the Ministry of Rites. What if we can't make it in time?"
Jia Mu made him laugh out loud: "You are honest, but you have no flexibility at all? It's just that if you can't make it today, you won't go to the Ministry of Rites earlier tomorrow, or if you are sure that the saint can't summon you today, go directly to the Ministry of Rites? "
Jia Jing felt that the old lady asked Jia She to go to the Ministry of Rites must have deep meanings, now he felt that it was better to listen more to the old lady's idea, because he asked: "I don't know if the old lady asked Enhou to go to the Ministry of Rites, what's the matter? "
Jia's mother could laugh at her son, but Jia Jing, who was almost ten years older than Jia She, and the head of the clan, had to answer calmly: "I just thought, the plaque hanging outside our house, and Many places in the mansion are regulated by the Duke’s Mansion. Now the boss is attacking only the Marquis, so it’s not appropriate to hang that plaque again. It’s just that the filial piety in the mansion can’t be broken, but at least let the people from the Ministry of Rites point out that it should be changed I have a good idea of how the local government will change the law. When the filial piety is announced, it will be changed together, so as not to attract other people's eyes."
Jia Jing's heart was also moved, he was only a first-class general, but the plaque on the door of his house was also the Duke's Mansion.If Jia She attacked the Marquis's plaque hanging in the Duke's mansion, it would attract people's attention, so wouldn't he want to add a new word?If no one reminds me of this matter, everyone will not take it seriously.But being mentioned by Jia Mu like this, no matter how I think about it, I think it's better to change it soon.
But why does this old lady think so much?Jia Jing tentatively said: "Old lady, there are not a few families in Beijing who have been demoted to the rank of nobility. But there are very few families who have changed regulations and plaques. If our two houses are changed, will we let others People alienate and criticize us?"
Jia's mother felt that Jia Jing's question was reasonable, but no matter how many courtiers criticized him, they could not resist the current likes and dislikes.It is proof that Jia She is now so much higher than in the original work.Therefore, she seemed very confident in what Jia Jing said: "You are not unreasonable. It's just that this matter has to be viewed from both sides. The sage is kind, and he doesn't care about the overstepping of his subordinates, but he is not used by his subordinates to show off." Capital. Our family reformed, no one can say that we have made mistakes. These people want to criticize us, but also start with other things. But we still have three years of filial piety?"
It turned out that the old lady had this idea.No, in the past three years, how many major events have happened in the court every day, and who still remembers the reform of the Rongguo Mansion?
No, Jia Jing had to think about it to understand that if his mansion was restructured together with Rongguo Mansion, the people in Rongguo Mansion would have left, but he was still in Beijing.And because Jia Daishan is just his uncle, he can serve filial piety for at most one year.
One year's time can't make people forget about the restructuring of their mansion.
However, Jia Jing made up his mind to restructure with Rongguo Mansion this time.Such a big thing as arrears of silver has been done together, and the restructuring is just for people to know directly.But if he can eliminate hidden dangers for his descendants, it's nothing if he gets implicated here.It's better than letting Zhen'er, who only knows how to have fun, be taken into account in the future.
Jia's mother heard that Jia Jing intended to change the system, and felt that it was better for this person to let him stay in the world of mortals.He is so clear-headed, has a big picture, and is such a good guide for a family.The most important thing is that with Jia Jing in the mansion, even if Jia Zhen wanted to die, no one would let him do it.
"We're going back to Jinling in a few days, and all the affairs in Beijing will fall on you. Well, it's said that the clansmen can watch and help each other when they get together, but Jinger," Jiamu sighed deeply. He let out a cry, which made Jia Jing's heart raise a little bit: "Look carefully at our clansmen, apart from coming to the two houses to fight the autumn wind, are there any one or two who can stand up?"
Jia Jing still knew a little about the Jia family members, but even so, he really didn't find such a family member who could make good fortune.So he said to Jia's mother in a rather impressive way: "It's because of me, the patriarch, who neglected to discipline the clansmen."
Jia Mu shook her head and said, "A solitary thread cannot form a thread, and a single tree cannot form a forest. This is not your business alone. But you still have a year of filial piety. Take this time to deal with the affairs of the clan. There is that family education, but it is the root of the family, why do I hear that there is something outrageous in it?"
Jia Jing has no doubts about the source of Jia Mu's news.This old lady is also a gossip on weekdays, and those old ladies in the clan can get some benefits if they come to say hello to her, but why don't they come to her frequently.It can't be said that the news was inquired about in this way.
But such news really made Jia Jing a little restless: his son is still studying at home.Hmph, you little bastard, no wonder the more you read the book, the more you can't understand it.
With Jia Jing's promise to rectify the family education, Jia's mother didn't say any more, and only asked Jia Jing and Jia She to change their clothes and go to the palace early to thank her.In fact, Jia She can go alone, but Jia's mother is really worried about Jia She's ability to adapt, and Jia Jing is willing to follow, so let's go together.
The two hidden dangers of family piracy were eliminated at once, and the other one has been passed on as usual, just like Jia Zheng's life. Jia's mother was in a good mood.With such kindness, she has the leisure to care about the third generation that the original owner once kept as a pet.
Now there are only three little masters in Rongguo Mansion, which is far from the prosperous time when there were only four girls.The eldest, Jia Zhu, was just 13 years old, and Yuan Chun was 11 years old, but her birthday was big. Jia Lian, who was the same age as her but had a birthday in September, had to be the youngest in the family.
In Jia Mu's view, being young has its advantages, that is, it is easy to correct.So even if she saw Jia Lian's face that looked a bit like the previous life, and those peach blossom eyes, Mother Jia could still control herself not to go up and shoot him away.But in comparison, Yuan Chun, who is no longer likable, and Jia Zhu, who has been together for a lifetime, get better looks than Jia Lian.
But it seems that Jia Lian is not dissatisfied with this. It is estimated that the original owner treats these three children no differently from Jia Mu now.However, Mother Jia still reminded herself that the past life has passed, and in the future, it is impossible to pretend to be the enemy of the previous life, and the emotions of the previous life cannot be brought into the present life.
Therefore, Jia's mother's first sentence was to Jia Lian: "Why did Lian'er come here so quickly?" Or because Jia Lian now lives in the East Courtyard where Jia She lives, compared to Jia Zhu and Yuan Chun. It's a long way.
Jia Lian didn't expect the old lady to be the first to ask herself, and she replied in a daze, "Just now when my father received the order, I came over to congratulate him. I didn't expect that my father had already gone to thank you. Before I went back there, I heard the old man My wife came to me, so I got a bargain."
This kid is really good-natured, what he said is really flattering.Mother Jia thought about breaking him up, and it would be better to cultivate more relationship with him, so she said: "Your father is happy, and it is also your happy event. Today your father can attack the Marquis, which is the blessing of the ancestors and the kindness of the saints." , but it is also the result of your father's own hard work. You have to work harder in the future, don't fall into the name of your ancestors, you and your father."
With such an expectation, not to mention Jia Lian, even Jia Zhu and Yuan Chun, why did the old lady suddenly get better with Lian'er today?The two children couldn't help but think of their mother who was imprisoned in the Buddhist hall, and the imperial decree just received by their uncle.
Mother Jia also saw the change in the expressions of the two of them, she pretended she hadn't seen them, and asked about their situation one by one, before she said to Jia Zhu, "Pearl, don't push yourself too hard every day. Let's go home now." Jinling is much closer to Yangzhou. Then let your Uncle Lin find you a good husband."
When Jia Zhu heard that he was going to ask Uncle Lin to find him a husband, his eyes lit up: he always took his uncle as his example, and looked forward to being able to win the gold medal list like his uncle, and walk the streets.Not to mention how proud he is, as long as his mother knows that as a son, he can also earn her five flowers.
It's not that Jia Zhu is ignorant of his mother's small actions when she was housekeeper. He is a scholar, and even a scholar who has not been provoked by the original owner like Jia Zheng, so he will naturally disapprove of his mother's actions.But he is also a son, filial piety and keeping his relatives hidden prevents him from criticizing his mother's behavior, so he can only study desperately.
Now that the old lady is going to ask Uncle Lin to find a husband for him, how can he not be excited: "The old lady is telling the truth? But Uncle Lin was still some distance away from Jinling at that time. Besides, we have to spend some time on the way. time."
Hearing Jia Zhu's urgent words, Jia's mother laughed and said, "It's not a matter of rush. You'd better get your body adjusted first. Good boy, you have to remember, no matter what your book looks like, No matter which step you read, your body is the most important thing in grandma's eyes."
The corners of Jia Zhu's eyes were moist. This was the first time in this family that someone told him that his body was more important than his reading: the master only asked about his books when he met, and never cared about his body.On the other hand, his wife first asked him how he was reading when they met, and then cared about his body. It gave him the feeling that his body was born for his wife to study.
Now the old lady tells him that no matter how well he reads, it is not as important as his body.And the old lady said just now that she is his grandmother, not a polite "old lady", but a "grandmother" who is closely related by blood.
"Yes, Zhu'er always listens to her grandmother." Jia Zhu secretly stabilized her emotions before saying a word.
Jia Lian secretly breathed a sigh of relief at the side, but fortunately the old lady ignored him as always, and if she studied with the gentleman that Uncle Lin had found, Jia Lian would feel that she would be in a bad place just thinking about it.
But the current mother of Jia is not the original owner. While talking to Jia Zhu, she did not forget to observe the reactions of the other two children.Yuan Chun was relieved to find that the old lady still cared so much about his brother, while Jia Lian was nervous and then relieved when he heard that he was looking for a husband for Jia Zhu.
Mother Jia also knew why she was nervous before she breathed a sigh of relief, so she turned to Jia Lian and said, "Lien'er is in better shape than your big brother Zhu, and I take your big brother Zhu to walk around the yard more often on weekdays." Take a walk. It’s just that you can let your big brother Zhu test your knowledge while walking. Then you can study together with the teacher your uncle found.”
Jia Lian sighed in his heart, but he didn't dare to refute the old lady's words on his face, so he could only answer: "Yes, old lady."
Jia's mother pretended to be angry and asked, "Are you dissatisfied with grandma's arrangement?"
This Jia Lian didn't dare to admit it, otherwise his own father would be able to take care of him without anyone else: "No, I'll listen to, uh, listen to grandma."
Only then did Jia Mu nodded in satisfaction: "Well, that's right. Grandma is old, and there are only three of you grandchildren around. If you still call me old lady strangely, I thought you were calling someone else's family. "
Jia Zhu took the lead in saying yes.Seeing that it was still early for dinner, Jia Mu drove Jia Lian and took Jia Zhu to the garden first before returning.Seeing that his grandmother was the only one left behind, Yuan Chun knew that the old man must have something to say to him, so he couldn't help mentioning it again: Don't look at Mrs. Wang who was only locked up for three or five days, but the servants in this mansion and Hong Ding The white ones and the weird ones have already appeared.
"Girl Yuan, has someone wronged you these few days?" Mother Jia knew the virtues of the servants in this mansion, so she asked Yuan Chun this question.
Yuan Chun's eye circles were red, but he was also worried that the eldest wife was in charge of the house now, and he was afraid that if he told the eldest wife to know, it would be even more detrimental to his family.So she shook her head cautiously.
Jia Mu said, "Come here and sit here with grandma." Yuan Chun slowly sat beside Jia Mu.Mother Jia took Yuan Chun's hand and said, "Silly boy, no matter what happens, you have to tell grandma, only grandma can help you find a solution." , That's hard to guard against.
Yuan Chun listened to Jia's mother's words, and wanted to bear it, but tears still flowed down the corners of his eyes: These days, my mother and her companions were suddenly locked up, and no one told her about it. Say what happened.Yuan Chun, who was just 11 years old, was still only a half-grown child no matter how hopeful his mother had placed him in it. How could he not feel panicked.
Jia's mother patted her hand: "Your mother made a big mistake. The reason she made a mistake is that she can no longer stay in this family. But neither I nor your father want you and your brother to die because of such a mother." Shame, so just lock her up and let her reflect on herself."
Yuan Chun looked up at Jia's mother, wanting to ask what his mother did wrong, but instinctively felt that it would be better not to know if he knew.However, Mother Jia felt that it was better to tell her everything, otherwise, whenever she had a mother-daughter bond with Mrs. Wang, it would be better for her to just give up on this "virtuous concubine" from the beginning.
She told Yuan Chun exactly what Mrs. Wang had done, and the consequences of these things. Jia Mu looked at Yuan Chun and said, "Such things will affect the boy, that is, your brother. It's still smaller, after all, this kind of world is more tolerant of men than women. But if someone finds out something in the future, it will have a great impact on you."
People in this era are really precocious. As soon as Yuan Chun heard Jia's mother talk about the future, she knew she was referring to her marriage.Jia's mother sighed and said, "When you talk about your mother, how did you do such a thing, you never thought that if people find out, what will you two children do?"
Yuan Chun's tears fell more and more urgently, and it took him a long time to call out: "Grandmother." The indescribable desperation and sadness in his voice was like the mournful cry of a small animal who found himself cornered.
Mother Jia also felt miserable: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, there is still grandma here. Don't worry, when your uncle comes back, grandma will let him ask you to teach and raise your mother. We will go back to Jinling for three years, as long as your grandfather's house is not Said, not too many people know about it." If outsiders know about it, it will be the fault of the Wang family!
Only then did Yuan Chun stop crying.It's just that she suddenly thought that the old lady can handle her own affairs, so what about her mother's affairs?The little girl slid down from Mother Jia's side to the ground, kowtowed directly to Mother Jia and said, "Grandmother is considerate of Yuan Chun, and Yuan Chun is very grateful. But for Mother, please invite Grandmother..."
Hearing Yuan Chun pleading for Mrs. Wang, Jia's mother was not touched: no matter how hateful she may be in the eyes of outsiders, Mrs. Wang is still a very responsible mother in the eyes of her children.If not, Yuan Chun would not have pleaded for Mrs. Wang after Jia's mother had analyzed the impact of Mrs. Wang's actions on her in the future.
It's just that Mother Jia couldn't agree to this request: "Good boy, get up quickly. Grandma also told you just now that what your mother did is a disaster for your descendants and clan. Grandma is not only the grandmother of you and Zhu'er, It's still Lian'er and the grandmother of your siblings in the future. What's more, there is the clan? And the law?"
Yuan Chun, who was directly suppressed by the clan and law mentioned by Jiamu, had no choice but to stand up along with Jiamu's hand: Now that her mother has been locked up, and the house is under the care of the eldest aunt, then she will also Only by trying to please my grandmother can I make my life easier, and I can no longer achieve my goal by acting like a baby to my grandmother as before.
Yuan Chun knew very well that the little tricks she used in the past were no longer effective against her grandmother.
But the one who was locked in the Buddhist hall was his own mother.Just now I heard from my grandmother that my grandfather's family already knew what my mother committed. I heard that my grandfather and two uncles came to the house two days ago, but they failed to make my mother come out of the Buddhist hall.Could it be that the grandfather's family is also dissatisfied with their mother?
"What about my grandfather's family?" Yuan Chun couldn't figure it out. Didn't his mother always say that his grandfather's family was rich and powerful?Then why don't you do something for your mother?
When Mother Jia heard Yuan Chun mentioning the Wang family, the corners of her lips almost twitched. It seems that Mrs. Wang still brags about her mother's family in front of her children.No, you can't get used to this problem.So she straightened her face and said to Yuan Chun:
"Did your mother tell you that when this woman arrives at her husband's house, her natal family will be her support?" Seeing Yuan Chun nodding, Jia's mother was not surprised at all: "There is no reason for what she said, but it is not Not entirely true. Marriage in this world is all about matching the family. The marriage between the two families is for the good of the two surnames, not for the one who dominates the other. Our family does not expect to trade girls for wealth, so we will not let you marry It's too high. If you think about the similar family status, how can you use support or not?"
It's not that there is no water in these words, but today Mother Jia wants to tell Yuan Chun that she will only choose a son-in-law from a well-matched family in the future, so don't seek great fortune with any ambition of being a blue cloud.The Jia family had just returned the money from the treasury, but they had no money to build a Grand View Garden.
No matter how smart Yuanchun was, when he was in a sudden change and his mind was in a state of uncertainty, he felt that what Jiamu said made sense, so he nodded involuntarily.Jia's mother said again: "Speaking of your mother's actions, in addition to the greatest impact on you, the girls of the Wang family will suffer in the future. There is no impenetrable wall in the world, and there will always be people who are willing to inquire about these news. When the time comes, the girls of the Wang family will be educated. It will make people criticize, marriage, alas..."
"Your grandparents' family has tried their best, but it is not enough to make up for the mistakes your mother committed-many things have been done, and they have been done, and it is not enough to admit mistakes or apologize afterwards. This is what I let You can't let these people go out and talk nonsense about the reason why people locked up your mother's companions. Grandma has to think about your future."
Even if Jia Amnesty is the one who really cares about people, Jia's mother will have to carry this blame: she can't let the two families not get along like the original owner.When Yuan Chun heard Jia's mother explain why she had to lock up her mother's companion room, she had nothing to say: Yuan Chun was not ignorant of what Madam Wang's subordinates were like.
Seeing that Yuanchun's mood had stabilized a bit, Mother Jia asked someone to bring water up and ordered someone to serve Yuanchun to freshen up.It didn't take long for Jia Lian and Jia Zhu to come back. Just by looking at the expressions on their faces, they knew that going to the garden together this time was not as loving as Jia's mother thought.Fortunately, she was not in a hurry, so she asked someone to take them down to wash them before coming back.
At this time, Jia Zheng also came back. He came to report his achievements to Jia Mu.In fact, it was just a matter of deciding on the boat to take when returning to Jinling in the future. Those who went to be in charge could not be better than Jia Zheng.However, because of Jia's pardon for attacking the noble, Jia Zheng was eager to gain a sense of presence with Jia's mother, and he had to do everything by himself.
Mother Jia listened to Jia Zheng's report absently, and felt that it was not satisfactory.However, it is worthy of praise for Jia Zheng to take the initiative to contact these "ordinary things": "Well, you have worked hard. This is good. Your elder brother is running around for this family, and you should share his worries. Wait for your elder brother to come back later. Now, you should also tell him about the size of the boat, how many people it can carry, and how many things it can hold, so that we can decide how many people we will take."
When Jia Zheng heard the first sentence, he still had some complacency on his face. The more he heard the latter, the more he felt unhappy: Since when did he do things for Jia Amnesty to share his worries?I am also the master of this mansion, okay?After thinking about it again, I can understand what Jia Mu meant, that is, Jia Amnesty in this mansion has already taken over the title, and besides Jia Mu, the serious masters in this mansion are from the big house. He, the "Second Master", will want to Those who leave the mansion and live elsewhere can no longer be regarded as serious masters.
Could it be that he was reduced to running errands for Jia She?Jia Zheng was very dissatisfied. He clearly read better than Jia She, received more praise than Jia She, and his mother always said that she was more promising than Jia She. up.
Since when did it change?Jia Zheng thought about it carefully, and felt that after Jia Amnesty made the old lady faint, the old lady gave in to Jia She from the moment she woke up.Could it be that the old lady let Jia Amnesty coerce her?
Thinking of this, Jia Zheng couldn't help asking: "What's the matter, old lady? If there is something, just tell your son."
Jia's mother was a little strange: "I can do anything, but I just wait for your elder brother to settle the family affairs, and we will go back to Jinling soon." After thinking about it, she said: "I think Zhu'er is a careful child. Don't always force him to study and make a fuss on weekdays. Let him take care of himself first, which is serious."
Jia Zheng only thought that it was difficult for Jia's mother to talk about it in front of the servants, and he also thought about when it was only his mother and son.But I don't want to see whether Jia's mother wants to talk to him in private in the future.However, when it comes to the son he has put his hopes in, Jia Zheng feels that he still needs to say a few words: "Zhu'er is not young anymore, and 13 years old is also the age to be able to leave the stage. But it is our family's filial piety, and he will have to delay for another three years. If you don't work hard and study hard, what will happen in the future?"
Hearing that he didn't take Jia Zhu's body seriously, and only cared about the imperial examination, Jia's mother became angry: "It's not that you haven't tried it when you're old enough to try it, don't you know that? What's the situation in the examination room? If you don't have a good body, how can you survive those three rounds?"
This kind of topic is not pleasant: Mother Jia received the original owner's memory and found that Jia Zheng had passed the test, but he seemed to belong to the type who would fail the test.No matter how well he memorized his books on weekdays, he couldn't write a few words when he entered the examination room, which made the examiners want to look at Rongguo Mansion's face and barely let him pass.
But at this time, Jia Lian and Jia Zhu had already washed up, and they came back to Jia Mu's side to talk and wait for dinner.Seeing Jia Zheng's face flushed, he didn't know what he was muttering in his mouth, and he didn't know whether he should go forward to salute this stern second uncle (father).
This also allowed Jia Zheng to step up, and he shouted directly at the two children: "Why have you forgotten the rules, and you don't even know the etiquette." The momentum was stronger than before.Er Xiao was scolded once as soon as he saw him, with a little panic on his face, but he greeted him well with his movements.
Mother Jia, on the other hand, was very disgusted by Jia Zheng's chatter. You are just here to pick your nose and eyes at the children because of your age and seniority, but you don't think about your usual behavior, but it is harmful to the children. No good effects.Precepts and deeds, precepts and deeds, this example is more important than words.I don't stand upright, but I teach others a lesson, how embarrassing!
"Zheng'er," Jia's mother raised her voice to stop Jia Zheng's scolding: "You have been busy for a long time, and you went back to your room to change your clothes, so you can take a rest. You don't have to come here at night, please save the children in your yard." Once people are restrained, that's it." She still has important matters for Jia She to take care of in the evening, so this unsightly Mr. Zheng should stay in his own small courtyard.
Jia Zheng also heard Jia's mother's displeasure. Anyway, every time he taught the child, Jia's mother was like this, so he didn't care. Instead, he felt that this time the old lady made an excuse to let him go back to the room and change clothes. It's better than telling him to shut up and protect the child directly.
After bidding farewell to Mrs. Jia politely and thoughtfully, and returning to his small courtyard, Jia Zheng realized that there were not many people in his courtyard anymore—it turned out that most of the servants in their courtyard were Mrs. Wang’s companions—why? Did the old lady let him restrain him?
Jia Amnesty had dinner with the old lady, and after the meal, he told the old lady about how they went to thank them: the sign was handed in, and the sage did not summon them again, but the eunuch who delivered the decree conveyed it. Oral metaphor, order them to be filial, to fulfill the etiquette of the sons of men.
Jia Amnesty's mind is slow, but Jia Jing's mind is not slow. From this sentence, I can hear the current protection and expectations for the two of them: to live a filial piety and to fulfill the etiquette of a son of man, so we must try our best. Reduce the number of times you go out, and you have to abide by a series of etiquette of keeping filial piety, so that others can't make a fuss about the things in their filial piety!
Maybe if I have become a filial piety, I can still leave the place where people are tortured to death in the Imperial Academy?While thinking uncertainly, Jia Jing thanked the great eunuch, and at the same time pulled Jia She, who was blinded again, to leave the palace.
Jia Amnesty didn't try to understand the meaning of the sage, but Jia Jing, who was by his side, was considered someone he could ask for advice at this time, so he asked his own question: "We are supposed to keep filial piety, why is the sage still in vain?" order such a thing?”
Jia Jing told Jia She what he was thinking, and listened to Jia She's head and shoulders. He only felt that every word in the officialdom had a deep meaning, and it was not something he, a person who only knows how to play, could understand. .
Now facing Jiamu, he couldn't help complaining: "What should I do if I don't understand what people talk to me from now on?"
Mother Jia knew what happened these days, and it was already difficult for him.I had no choice but to comfort him and said, "It's not a big deal. Jing'er is here to guide you. When you return to Jinling, let your brother-in-law find you an assistant. You may not be able to learn it in three years."
Hearing that he still needs to learn, Jia Amnesty wanted to back down a little bit, but in Jia Zheng's life, Jia's mother was able to put him in the position of Patriarch, so it's not difficult in this life: "Now you are a justifiable man in this mansion. Patriarch, you have to have some ideas of your own on weekdays, so that my old lady can enjoy two days of happiness. I thought that my good life would come to an end after your father died. I didn't expect that my son, Xie, would stand up gone."
When Jia She heard the words that made goose bumps on his body, he was like
Just as Jia Jing was about to open his mouth, Jia Amnesty had already opened his mouth and explained in detail how his family prepared to spend so much money.Fortunately, there is a sentence at the end: "The late father may have thought about repaying the money a long time ago, so the family has been saving all the time, or where did he get the 40 silver."
In front of today, what are you going to do with the details of cheating your brother and daughter-in-law's natal family?If others say, Jia Jing still suspects that his brother is going to put eye drops on the Wang family here today, but that's Jia Amnesty, he doesn't have the brains to put eye drops on others, it's almost the same if others give him eye drops .
Even a saint, I have never seen Jia She speak so confidently about cheating people like this.But thinking about how he just used his own children under the age of marriage to prove that the family can live on, now I think this may be an honest person, right?
So what if it's dishonest?It is real to get the money back now.It is aggrieved to say that today, he has always cherished his feathers, so naturally he would not do the thing of collecting debts from his courtiers.But he is not ignorant of the situation of the treasury. If the Ministry of Household Affairs is not watching closely now, I am afraid that the IOUs will be full.
In such a large empire, when will it not encounter some natural and man-made disasters?These all cost money.So now we are very short of money, and I am very satisfied that Jia's family can come and pay back the money they owe.It's just that nowadays, who has always regarded himself as benevolent, he doesn't want to make people think that once the veteran leaves, he will force other people's children to pay off the debt.
So when he asked the Jia family if they could live on, it was purely out of concern.And to say that the Jia family has a strong family background is just lamenting that Ningrong and Rongfu will live well: now that there are more and more people borrowing money from the treasury, doesn't it seem that the Ningrong and Rongfu families who can repay the money are doing well?
Who knew there was a more innocent Jia She, who actually told all about cheating on his in-laws.If he still doubted whether Jia Amnesty was an honest person just now, now he no longer doubts - such a embarrassing thing is too embarrassing to talk about it, how can it be dishonest?
The sage felt that he couldn't continue talking to this honest man, lest he hear something he shouldn't hear again, so he waved his hands to let the two kneel down.The eunuch led the two of them out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the brothers looked at each other, and Jia Jingcai asked cautiously: "Look, father-in-law, should we brothers go through the procedures at the household department?" department.
The eunuch didn't know whether they should go or not.In line with the principle that one thing more is worse than one thing less, I still said: "The two of you should go back and wait, maybe you will get what you want."
Jia Amnesty muttered, "But I'm going back to Jinling soon to observe my filial piety." Jia Jing had already put a purse into the eunuch's hand, and I don't know if the eunuch heard it.
Facts have proved that the eunuch's ears are quite good. Of course, it also shows that Jia Jing's purse was not handed over for nothing.Not long after the two returned to the mansion, they were talking to Jiamu about the performance before the imperial court. Liu Wang, whom Jia Shexin mentioned, sent a message to the second door: "There is an order from the palace, please old ladies and gentlemen. Hurry up and get ready."
People's current purpose is also official, not to praise Jia Jing and Jia Amnesty's behavior of returning the money from the treasury, but Jia Amnesty's approval of the noble.Jia's mother can understand some of the long classical Chinese, which generally means that Jia She has a good character and has the legacy of his father and grandfather, so he ordered him to attack the Marquis - Marquis of Rongguo.
It really frightened Mother Jia. It is true that the Duke is a Marquis, but Jia Amnesty is a first-class general in the original book.Many fans thought that it was because of his bad reputation and poor performance in the examination that he was downgraded so badly. Now it seems that he still has opinions on those old ministers who have not paid back their money.
Even Jia Jing didn't like it when he heard it. Although his father no longer had the position of Duke, he was really inferior to being a first-class general.Seeing that Jia Amnesty has only been demoted to a first-class rank, do you still know that this is a credit owed.It's not that I don't complain about the present in my heart, so tell me sooner that you are short of money.But no matter who he said this to, he couldn't say it. If he wanted to blame, he could only blame his own mother, not as decisive as the old lady in Rongguo Mansion.It seems that my family will still follow the pace of Dianrong Guofu in the future.
Here, Jia Amnesty is only proud: he doesn't know how others can win the title, but he still knows how to compare with Jia Jing.So anyone with a good face can see it.The eunuch who came to deliver the decree was the great eunuch from the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and he saw Jia Amnesty's expression completely.He also saw the act of the Duke's wife quietly reminding Jia Amnesty to pay attention.
The eunuch who was invited into the main hall to drink tea also handed Jia Jing and Jia Amnesty two yellowed IOUs, an answer to their questions outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.Jia Zheng on the other side was envious, but he couldn't say a word, so he could only watch his cousin and elder brother flattering the eunuch, and felt that their behavior was really flattering and degrading.
But even in the filial piety period, the people in Rongguo Mansion are still very excited.The life of the master of the family is easy, and the life of the servants will also be improved.Therefore, Jia Zheng's emotions cannot affect others in the slightest.Speaking of today's decree, the eyes of the people in this house are all looking at the Eldest Master, how many of them will pay attention to the Second Master?
Jia Zheng, who was almost ignored by people, felt very unhappy staying at home, so he had to take someone out to see how the work he was assigned was going.He could see that his brother who had accomplished nothing only did everything according to the old lady's requirements, so he got such a good deed.If he can also handle the things that the old lady told him well, maybe there will be some benefits.Don't forget, in the will of his father's death, he also begged for an official.
Here, Jia Mu and Jia Jing and Jia She are also talking: "You two still have to go to the palace to thank you. It's one thing whether the saint sees you, but we have to have the proper etiquette. And the boss, After you thank you, go to the Ministry of Rites by yourself."
Jia Amnesty was a little puzzled: "I don't know when the sage will see us, why do we still have to go to the Ministry of Rites. What if we can't make it in time?"
Jia Mu made him laugh out loud: "You are honest, but you have no flexibility at all? It's just that if you can't make it today, you won't go to the Ministry of Rites earlier tomorrow, or if you are sure that the saint can't summon you today, go directly to the Ministry of Rites? "
Jia Jing felt that the old lady asked Jia She to go to the Ministry of Rites must have deep meanings, now he felt that it was better to listen more to the old lady's idea, because he asked: "I don't know if the old lady asked Enhou to go to the Ministry of Rites, what's the matter? "
Jia's mother could laugh at her son, but Jia Jing, who was almost ten years older than Jia She, and the head of the clan, had to answer calmly: "I just thought, the plaque hanging outside our house, and Many places in the mansion are regulated by the Duke’s Mansion. Now the boss is attacking only the Marquis, so it’s not appropriate to hang that plaque again. It’s just that the filial piety in the mansion can’t be broken, but at least let the people from the Ministry of Rites point out that it should be changed I have a good idea of how the local government will change the law. When the filial piety is announced, it will be changed together, so as not to attract other people's eyes."
Jia Jing's heart was also moved, he was only a first-class general, but the plaque on the door of his house was also the Duke's Mansion.If Jia She attacked the Marquis's plaque hanging in the Duke's mansion, it would attract people's attention, so wouldn't he want to add a new word?If no one reminds me of this matter, everyone will not take it seriously.But being mentioned by Jia Mu like this, no matter how I think about it, I think it's better to change it soon.
But why does this old lady think so much?Jia Jing tentatively said: "Old lady, there are not a few families in Beijing who have been demoted to the rank of nobility. But there are very few families who have changed regulations and plaques. If our two houses are changed, will we let others People alienate and criticize us?"
Jia's mother felt that Jia Jing's question was reasonable, but no matter how many courtiers criticized him, they could not resist the current likes and dislikes.It is proof that Jia She is now so much higher than in the original work.Therefore, she seemed very confident in what Jia Jing said: "You are not unreasonable. It's just that this matter has to be viewed from both sides. The sage is kind, and he doesn't care about the overstepping of his subordinates, but he is not used by his subordinates to show off." Capital. Our family reformed, no one can say that we have made mistakes. These people want to criticize us, but also start with other things. But we still have three years of filial piety?"
It turned out that the old lady had this idea.No, in the past three years, how many major events have happened in the court every day, and who still remembers the reform of the Rongguo Mansion?
No, Jia Jing had to think about it to understand that if his mansion was restructured together with Rongguo Mansion, the people in Rongguo Mansion would have left, but he was still in Beijing.And because Jia Daishan is just his uncle, he can serve filial piety for at most one year.
One year's time can't make people forget about the restructuring of their mansion.
However, Jia Jing made up his mind to restructure with Rongguo Mansion this time.Such a big thing as arrears of silver has been done together, and the restructuring is just for people to know directly.But if he can eliminate hidden dangers for his descendants, it's nothing if he gets implicated here.It's better than letting Zhen'er, who only knows how to have fun, be taken into account in the future.
Jia's mother heard that Jia Jing intended to change the system, and felt that it was better for this person to let him stay in the world of mortals.He is so clear-headed, has a big picture, and is such a good guide for a family.The most important thing is that with Jia Jing in the mansion, even if Jia Zhen wanted to die, no one would let him do it.
"We're going back to Jinling in a few days, and all the affairs in Beijing will fall on you. Well, it's said that the clansmen can watch and help each other when they get together, but Jinger," Jiamu sighed deeply. He let out a cry, which made Jia Jing's heart raise a little bit: "Look carefully at our clansmen, apart from coming to the two houses to fight the autumn wind, are there any one or two who can stand up?"
Jia Jing still knew a little about the Jia family members, but even so, he really didn't find such a family member who could make good fortune.So he said to Jia's mother in a rather impressive way: "It's because of me, the patriarch, who neglected to discipline the clansmen."
Jia Mu shook her head and said, "A solitary thread cannot form a thread, and a single tree cannot form a forest. This is not your business alone. But you still have a year of filial piety. Take this time to deal with the affairs of the clan. There is that family education, but it is the root of the family, why do I hear that there is something outrageous in it?"
Jia Jing has no doubts about the source of Jia Mu's news.This old lady is also a gossip on weekdays, and those old ladies in the clan can get some benefits if they come to say hello to her, but why don't they come to her frequently.It can't be said that the news was inquired about in this way.
But such news really made Jia Jing a little restless: his son is still studying at home.Hmph, you little bastard, no wonder the more you read the book, the more you can't understand it.
With Jia Jing's promise to rectify the family education, Jia's mother didn't say any more, and only asked Jia Jing and Jia She to change their clothes and go to the palace early to thank her.In fact, Jia She can go alone, but Jia's mother is really worried about Jia She's ability to adapt, and Jia Jing is willing to follow, so let's go together.
The two hidden dangers of family piracy were eliminated at once, and the other one has been passed on as usual, just like Jia Zheng's life. Jia's mother was in a good mood.With such kindness, she has the leisure to care about the third generation that the original owner once kept as a pet.
Now there are only three little masters in Rongguo Mansion, which is far from the prosperous time when there were only four girls.The eldest, Jia Zhu, was just 13 years old, and Yuan Chun was 11 years old, but her birthday was big. Jia Lian, who was the same age as her but had a birthday in September, had to be the youngest in the family.
In Jia Mu's view, being young has its advantages, that is, it is easy to correct.So even if she saw Jia Lian's face that looked a bit like the previous life, and those peach blossom eyes, Mother Jia could still control herself not to go up and shoot him away.But in comparison, Yuan Chun, who is no longer likable, and Jia Zhu, who has been together for a lifetime, get better looks than Jia Lian.
But it seems that Jia Lian is not dissatisfied with this. It is estimated that the original owner treats these three children no differently from Jia Mu now.However, Mother Jia still reminded herself that the past life has passed, and in the future, it is impossible to pretend to be the enemy of the previous life, and the emotions of the previous life cannot be brought into the present life.
Therefore, Jia's mother's first sentence was to Jia Lian: "Why did Lian'er come here so quickly?" Or because Jia Lian now lives in the East Courtyard where Jia She lives, compared to Jia Zhu and Yuan Chun. It's a long way.
Jia Lian didn't expect the old lady to be the first to ask herself, and she replied in a daze, "Just now when my father received the order, I came over to congratulate him. I didn't expect that my father had already gone to thank you. Before I went back there, I heard the old man My wife came to me, so I got a bargain."
This kid is really good-natured, what he said is really flattering.Mother Jia thought about breaking him up, and it would be better to cultivate more relationship with him, so she said: "Your father is happy, and it is also your happy event. Today your father can attack the Marquis, which is the blessing of the ancestors and the kindness of the saints." , but it is also the result of your father's own hard work. You have to work harder in the future, don't fall into the name of your ancestors, you and your father."
With such an expectation, not to mention Jia Lian, even Jia Zhu and Yuan Chun, why did the old lady suddenly get better with Lian'er today?The two children couldn't help but think of their mother who was imprisoned in the Buddhist hall, and the imperial decree just received by their uncle.
Mother Jia also saw the change in the expressions of the two of them, she pretended she hadn't seen them, and asked about their situation one by one, before she said to Jia Zhu, "Pearl, don't push yourself too hard every day. Let's go home now." Jinling is much closer to Yangzhou. Then let your Uncle Lin find you a good husband."
When Jia Zhu heard that he was going to ask Uncle Lin to find him a husband, his eyes lit up: he always took his uncle as his example, and looked forward to being able to win the gold medal list like his uncle, and walk the streets.Not to mention how proud he is, as long as his mother knows that as a son, he can also earn her five flowers.
It's not that Jia Zhu is ignorant of his mother's small actions when she was housekeeper. He is a scholar, and even a scholar who has not been provoked by the original owner like Jia Zheng, so he will naturally disapprove of his mother's actions.But he is also a son, filial piety and keeping his relatives hidden prevents him from criticizing his mother's behavior, so he can only study desperately.
Now that the old lady is going to ask Uncle Lin to find a husband for him, how can he not be excited: "The old lady is telling the truth? But Uncle Lin was still some distance away from Jinling at that time. Besides, we have to spend some time on the way. time."
Hearing Jia Zhu's urgent words, Jia's mother laughed and said, "It's not a matter of rush. You'd better get your body adjusted first. Good boy, you have to remember, no matter what your book looks like, No matter which step you read, your body is the most important thing in grandma's eyes."
The corners of Jia Zhu's eyes were moist. This was the first time in this family that someone told him that his body was more important than his reading: the master only asked about his books when he met, and never cared about his body.On the other hand, his wife first asked him how he was reading when they met, and then cared about his body. It gave him the feeling that his body was born for his wife to study.
Now the old lady tells him that no matter how well he reads, it is not as important as his body.And the old lady said just now that she is his grandmother, not a polite "old lady", but a "grandmother" who is closely related by blood.
"Yes, Zhu'er always listens to her grandmother." Jia Zhu secretly stabilized her emotions before saying a word.
Jia Lian secretly breathed a sigh of relief at the side, but fortunately the old lady ignored him as always, and if she studied with the gentleman that Uncle Lin had found, Jia Lian would feel that she would be in a bad place just thinking about it.
But the current mother of Jia is not the original owner. While talking to Jia Zhu, she did not forget to observe the reactions of the other two children.Yuan Chun was relieved to find that the old lady still cared so much about his brother, while Jia Lian was nervous and then relieved when he heard that he was looking for a husband for Jia Zhu.
Mother Jia also knew why she was nervous before she breathed a sigh of relief, so she turned to Jia Lian and said, "Lien'er is in better shape than your big brother Zhu, and I take your big brother Zhu to walk around the yard more often on weekdays." Take a walk. It’s just that you can let your big brother Zhu test your knowledge while walking. Then you can study together with the teacher your uncle found.”
Jia Lian sighed in his heart, but he didn't dare to refute the old lady's words on his face, so he could only answer: "Yes, old lady."
Jia's mother pretended to be angry and asked, "Are you dissatisfied with grandma's arrangement?"
This Jia Lian didn't dare to admit it, otherwise his own father would be able to take care of him without anyone else: "No, I'll listen to, uh, listen to grandma."
Only then did Jia Mu nodded in satisfaction: "Well, that's right. Grandma is old, and there are only three of you grandchildren around. If you still call me old lady strangely, I thought you were calling someone else's family. "
Jia Zhu took the lead in saying yes.Seeing that it was still early for dinner, Jia Mu drove Jia Lian and took Jia Zhu to the garden first before returning.Seeing that his grandmother was the only one left behind, Yuan Chun knew that the old man must have something to say to him, so he couldn't help mentioning it again: Don't look at Mrs. Wang who was only locked up for three or five days, but the servants in this mansion and Hong Ding The white ones and the weird ones have already appeared.
"Girl Yuan, has someone wronged you these few days?" Mother Jia knew the virtues of the servants in this mansion, so she asked Yuan Chun this question.
Yuan Chun's eye circles were red, but he was also worried that the eldest wife was in charge of the house now, and he was afraid that if he told the eldest wife to know, it would be even more detrimental to his family.So she shook her head cautiously.
Jia Mu said, "Come here and sit here with grandma." Yuan Chun slowly sat beside Jia Mu.Mother Jia took Yuan Chun's hand and said, "Silly boy, no matter what happens, you have to tell grandma, only grandma can help you find a solution." , That's hard to guard against.
Yuan Chun listened to Jia's mother's words, and wanted to bear it, but tears still flowed down the corners of his eyes: These days, my mother and her companions were suddenly locked up, and no one told her about it. Say what happened.Yuan Chun, who was just 11 years old, was still only a half-grown child no matter how hopeful his mother had placed him in it. How could he not feel panicked.
Jia's mother patted her hand: "Your mother made a big mistake. The reason she made a mistake is that she can no longer stay in this family. But neither I nor your father want you and your brother to die because of such a mother." Shame, so just lock her up and let her reflect on herself."
Yuan Chun looked up at Jia's mother, wanting to ask what his mother did wrong, but instinctively felt that it would be better not to know if he knew.However, Mother Jia felt that it was better to tell her everything, otherwise, whenever she had a mother-daughter bond with Mrs. Wang, it would be better for her to just give up on this "virtuous concubine" from the beginning.
She told Yuan Chun exactly what Mrs. Wang had done, and the consequences of these things. Jia Mu looked at Yuan Chun and said, "Such things will affect the boy, that is, your brother. It's still smaller, after all, this kind of world is more tolerant of men than women. But if someone finds out something in the future, it will have a great impact on you."
People in this era are really precocious. As soon as Yuan Chun heard Jia's mother talk about the future, she knew she was referring to her marriage.Jia's mother sighed and said, "When you talk about your mother, how did you do such a thing, you never thought that if people find out, what will you two children do?"
Yuan Chun's tears fell more and more urgently, and it took him a long time to call out: "Grandmother." The indescribable desperation and sadness in his voice was like the mournful cry of a small animal who found himself cornered.
Mother Jia also felt miserable: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, there is still grandma here. Don't worry, when your uncle comes back, grandma will let him ask you to teach and raise your mother. We will go back to Jinling for three years, as long as your grandfather's house is not Said, not too many people know about it." If outsiders know about it, it will be the fault of the Wang family!
Only then did Yuan Chun stop crying.It's just that she suddenly thought that the old lady can handle her own affairs, so what about her mother's affairs?The little girl slid down from Mother Jia's side to the ground, kowtowed directly to Mother Jia and said, "Grandmother is considerate of Yuan Chun, and Yuan Chun is very grateful. But for Mother, please invite Grandmother..."
Hearing Yuan Chun pleading for Mrs. Wang, Jia's mother was not touched: no matter how hateful she may be in the eyes of outsiders, Mrs. Wang is still a very responsible mother in the eyes of her children.If not, Yuan Chun would not have pleaded for Mrs. Wang after Jia's mother had analyzed the impact of Mrs. Wang's actions on her in the future.
It's just that Mother Jia couldn't agree to this request: "Good boy, get up quickly. Grandma also told you just now that what your mother did is a disaster for your descendants and clan. Grandma is not only the grandmother of you and Zhu'er, It's still Lian'er and the grandmother of your siblings in the future. What's more, there is the clan? And the law?"
Yuan Chun, who was directly suppressed by the clan and law mentioned by Jiamu, had no choice but to stand up along with Jiamu's hand: Now that her mother has been locked up, and the house is under the care of the eldest aunt, then she will also Only by trying to please my grandmother can I make my life easier, and I can no longer achieve my goal by acting like a baby to my grandmother as before.
Yuan Chun knew very well that the little tricks she used in the past were no longer effective against her grandmother.
But the one who was locked in the Buddhist hall was his own mother.Just now I heard from my grandmother that my grandfather's family already knew what my mother committed. I heard that my grandfather and two uncles came to the house two days ago, but they failed to make my mother come out of the Buddhist hall.Could it be that the grandfather's family is also dissatisfied with their mother?
"What about my grandfather's family?" Yuan Chun couldn't figure it out. Didn't his mother always say that his grandfather's family was rich and powerful?Then why don't you do something for your mother?
When Mother Jia heard Yuan Chun mentioning the Wang family, the corners of her lips almost twitched. It seems that Mrs. Wang still brags about her mother's family in front of her children.No, you can't get used to this problem.So she straightened her face and said to Yuan Chun:
"Did your mother tell you that when this woman arrives at her husband's house, her natal family will be her support?" Seeing Yuan Chun nodding, Jia's mother was not surprised at all: "There is no reason for what she said, but it is not Not entirely true. Marriage in this world is all about matching the family. The marriage between the two families is for the good of the two surnames, not for the one who dominates the other. Our family does not expect to trade girls for wealth, so we will not let you marry It's too high. If you think about the similar family status, how can you use support or not?"
It's not that there is no water in these words, but today Mother Jia wants to tell Yuan Chun that she will only choose a son-in-law from a well-matched family in the future, so don't seek great fortune with any ambition of being a blue cloud.The Jia family had just returned the money from the treasury, but they had no money to build a Grand View Garden.
No matter how smart Yuanchun was, when he was in a sudden change and his mind was in a state of uncertainty, he felt that what Jiamu said made sense, so he nodded involuntarily.Jia's mother said again: "Speaking of your mother's actions, in addition to the greatest impact on you, the girls of the Wang family will suffer in the future. There is no impenetrable wall in the world, and there will always be people who are willing to inquire about these news. When the time comes, the girls of the Wang family will be educated. It will make people criticize, marriage, alas..."
"Your grandparents' family has tried their best, but it is not enough to make up for the mistakes your mother committed-many things have been done, and they have been done, and it is not enough to admit mistakes or apologize afterwards. This is what I let You can't let these people go out and talk nonsense about the reason why people locked up your mother's companions. Grandma has to think about your future."
Even if Jia Amnesty is the one who really cares about people, Jia's mother will have to carry this blame: she can't let the two families not get along like the original owner.When Yuan Chun heard Jia's mother explain why she had to lock up her mother's companion room, she had nothing to say: Yuan Chun was not ignorant of what Madam Wang's subordinates were like.
Seeing that Yuanchun's mood had stabilized a bit, Mother Jia asked someone to bring water up and ordered someone to serve Yuanchun to freshen up.It didn't take long for Jia Lian and Jia Zhu to come back. Just by looking at the expressions on their faces, they knew that going to the garden together this time was not as loving as Jia's mother thought.Fortunately, she was not in a hurry, so she asked someone to take them down to wash them before coming back.
At this time, Jia Zheng also came back. He came to report his achievements to Jia Mu.In fact, it was just a matter of deciding on the boat to take when returning to Jinling in the future. Those who went to be in charge could not be better than Jia Zheng.However, because of Jia's pardon for attacking the noble, Jia Zheng was eager to gain a sense of presence with Jia's mother, and he had to do everything by himself.
Mother Jia listened to Jia Zheng's report absently, and felt that it was not satisfactory.However, it is worthy of praise for Jia Zheng to take the initiative to contact these "ordinary things": "Well, you have worked hard. This is good. Your elder brother is running around for this family, and you should share his worries. Wait for your elder brother to come back later. Now, you should also tell him about the size of the boat, how many people it can carry, and how many things it can hold, so that we can decide how many people we will take."
When Jia Zheng heard the first sentence, he still had some complacency on his face. The more he heard the latter, the more he felt unhappy: Since when did he do things for Jia Amnesty to share his worries?I am also the master of this mansion, okay?After thinking about it again, I can understand what Jia Mu meant, that is, Jia Amnesty in this mansion has already taken over the title, and besides Jia Mu, the serious masters in this mansion are from the big house. He, the "Second Master", will want to Those who leave the mansion and live elsewhere can no longer be regarded as serious masters.
Could it be that he was reduced to running errands for Jia She?Jia Zheng was very dissatisfied. He clearly read better than Jia She, received more praise than Jia She, and his mother always said that she was more promising than Jia She. up.
Since when did it change?Jia Zheng thought about it carefully, and felt that after Jia Amnesty made the old lady faint, the old lady gave in to Jia She from the moment she woke up.Could it be that the old lady let Jia Amnesty coerce her?
Thinking of this, Jia Zheng couldn't help asking: "What's the matter, old lady? If there is something, just tell your son."
Jia's mother was a little strange: "I can do anything, but I just wait for your elder brother to settle the family affairs, and we will go back to Jinling soon." After thinking about it, she said: "I think Zhu'er is a careful child. Don't always force him to study and make a fuss on weekdays. Let him take care of himself first, which is serious."
Jia Zheng only thought that it was difficult for Jia's mother to talk about it in front of the servants, and he also thought about when it was only his mother and son.But I don't want to see whether Jia's mother wants to talk to him in private in the future.However, when it comes to the son he has put his hopes in, Jia Zheng feels that he still needs to say a few words: "Zhu'er is not young anymore, and 13 years old is also the age to be able to leave the stage. But it is our family's filial piety, and he will have to delay for another three years. If you don't work hard and study hard, what will happen in the future?"
Hearing that he didn't take Jia Zhu's body seriously, and only cared about the imperial examination, Jia's mother became angry: "It's not that you haven't tried it when you're old enough to try it, don't you know that? What's the situation in the examination room? If you don't have a good body, how can you survive those three rounds?"
This kind of topic is not pleasant: Mother Jia received the original owner's memory and found that Jia Zheng had passed the test, but he seemed to belong to the type who would fail the test.No matter how well he memorized his books on weekdays, he couldn't write a few words when he entered the examination room, which made the examiners want to look at Rongguo Mansion's face and barely let him pass.
But at this time, Jia Lian and Jia Zhu had already washed up, and they came back to Jia Mu's side to talk and wait for dinner.Seeing Jia Zheng's face flushed, he didn't know what he was muttering in his mouth, and he didn't know whether he should go forward to salute this stern second uncle (father).
This also allowed Jia Zheng to step up, and he shouted directly at the two children: "Why have you forgotten the rules, and you don't even know the etiquette." The momentum was stronger than before.Er Xiao was scolded once as soon as he saw him, with a little panic on his face, but he greeted him well with his movements.
Mother Jia, on the other hand, was very disgusted by Jia Zheng's chatter. You are just here to pick your nose and eyes at the children because of your age and seniority, but you don't think about your usual behavior, but it is harmful to the children. No good effects.Precepts and deeds, precepts and deeds, this example is more important than words.I don't stand upright, but I teach others a lesson, how embarrassing!
"Zheng'er," Jia's mother raised her voice to stop Jia Zheng's scolding: "You have been busy for a long time, and you went back to your room to change your clothes, so you can take a rest. You don't have to come here at night, please save the children in your yard." Once people are restrained, that's it." She still has important matters for Jia She to take care of in the evening, so this unsightly Mr. Zheng should stay in his own small courtyard.
Jia Zheng also heard Jia's mother's displeasure. Anyway, every time he taught the child, Jia's mother was like this, so he didn't care. Instead, he felt that this time the old lady made an excuse to let him go back to the room and change clothes. It's better than telling him to shut up and protect the child directly.
After bidding farewell to Mrs. Jia politely and thoughtfully, and returning to his small courtyard, Jia Zheng realized that there were not many people in his courtyard anymore—it turned out that most of the servants in their courtyard were Mrs. Wang’s companions—why? Did the old lady let him restrain him?
Jia Amnesty had dinner with the old lady, and after the meal, he told the old lady about how they went to thank them: the sign was handed in, and the sage did not summon them again, but the eunuch who delivered the decree conveyed it. Oral metaphor, order them to be filial, to fulfill the etiquette of the sons of men.
Jia Amnesty's mind is slow, but Jia Jing's mind is not slow. From this sentence, I can hear the current protection and expectations for the two of them: to live a filial piety and to fulfill the etiquette of a son of man, so we must try our best. Reduce the number of times you go out, and you have to abide by a series of etiquette of keeping filial piety, so that others can't make a fuss about the things in their filial piety!
Maybe if I have become a filial piety, I can still leave the place where people are tortured to death in the Imperial Academy?While thinking uncertainly, Jia Jing thanked the great eunuch, and at the same time pulled Jia She, who was blinded again, to leave the palace.
Jia Amnesty didn't try to understand the meaning of the sage, but Jia Jing, who was by his side, was considered someone he could ask for advice at this time, so he asked his own question: "We are supposed to keep filial piety, why is the sage still in vain?" order such a thing?”
Jia Jing told Jia She what he was thinking, and listened to Jia She's head and shoulders. He only felt that every word in the officialdom had a deep meaning, and it was not something he, a person who only knows how to play, could understand. .
Now facing Jiamu, he couldn't help complaining: "What should I do if I don't understand what people talk to me from now on?"
Mother Jia knew what happened these days, and it was already difficult for him.I had no choice but to comfort him and said, "It's not a big deal. Jing'er is here to guide you. When you return to Jinling, let your brother-in-law find you an assistant. You may not be able to learn it in three years."
Hearing that he still needs to learn, Jia Amnesty wanted to back down a little bit, but in Jia Zheng's life, Jia's mother was able to put him in the position of Patriarch, so it's not difficult in this life: "Now you are a justifiable man in this mansion. Patriarch, you have to have some ideas of your own on weekdays, so that my old lady can enjoy two days of happiness. I thought that my good life would come to an end after your father died. I didn't expect that my son, Xie, would stand up gone."
When Jia She heard the words that made goose bumps on his body, he was like
