[Quick Transmigration] The Red Chamber abused me a thousand times

Jia Huan had something on his mind, and apart from telling the Zhao family to step up their efforts to buy the Zhaizi Zhuangzi, he also let go.He was also afraid that the old lady and Mrs. Wang would be suspicious, so he simply didn't even go to the Grand View Garden, and concentrated on making preparations to return to Jinling.

Unexpectedly, one day, someone at the door said that someone was looking for Mr. Huan outside the mansion.

Jia Huan didn't doubt that the door lied to him, after all, the old lady had only tidied up the door for a few days, even if these people were old-fashioned, they didn't fall so fast.So Jia Huan talked to Aunt Zhao and went out to see it by herself.

The person who came was in green clothes and a small hat, also dressed as a servant.Seeing Jia Huan coming out, he saluted early: "But Mr. Huan?"

Jia Huan nodded, "It's me. I don't know who you are?"

The man slapped a thousand: "Young one, send greetings to Third Master Huan. Our master has something to ask for advice from Third Master Huan, and please move to Third Master Huan."

master?Jia Huan couldn't think of anyone to discuss with him.But he is just a little bastard, and he has no enemies except Mrs. Wang, and Wang Ziteng?Looking at this humble servant from head to toe, Jia Huan felt that he was not like the royal family.

As long as you are not a member of the Wang family, you should not have any thoughts of harming yourself.So instead of guessing here and there, it's better to go and see where it is sacred.Looking at his door not far away, Jia Huan didn't intend to ask them to bring a letter to the house. Now he also realizes that it is really inconvenient for him to have no one he can trust.However, he has no interest in subduing those people in the Rongguo Mansion who exalt the high and depress the low. At worst, he will go to Jinling with Zhao Guoji and think of a way.

Followed the little cap in Tsing Yi out of Ningrong Street, and there was a big teahouse in front of him. The man led Jia Huan directly to a private room on the second floor, and signaled to Jia Huan, "Master Huan, my master is inside." waiting for you."

Someone inside is already saying, "Come in."

Already here, there is no need to twitch, Jia Huan just pushes the door and enters.The person inside, Jia Huan, had met once, and it was Li Shilang.He smiled and waved to Jia Huan: "I can't go to the house to thank you, so I have to invite you over. Didn't it scare you?"

Jia Huan greeted someone, and then said: "I'm not scared, but I didn't expect it to be Master Li."

Then Li Shilang laughed to himself, and said to the people around him: "Well, I think this kid is interesting."

It was only then that Jia Huan discovered that Li Shilang was not the only one in the private room, but also a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar.He looked about the same age as Li Shilang.Jia Huan also didn't think about the identity of this person, being able to share the same room with Li Shilang and allowing him to be so polite, he thought that he had an identity, so he called him again to greet him.

The man also smiled: "Don't dare to dare, how can you labor Rongguo Mansion's young master please greet me."

There was some disapproval in these words, and Jia Huan didn't care - no matter how much the Rongguo Mansion maintained its face, it was still a joke in Beijing, and it was normal for people to look down on people from that mansion.

Li Shilang said with a smile: "He is just a child, why should you bother with him. Besides, if he hadn't delivered a letter to my house, I still wouldn't know that niece Lin has gone to Beijing and that house."

The man also found that his anger was unreasonable, and his face had already calmed down.Li Shilang introduced to Jia Huan: "This is Mr. Sun from the Ministry of Rites. He is from the same hometown as your Uncle Lin, and also from the same discipline. I heard that you handed over the letter from niece Lin. I want to thank you in person." Jia Huan didn't dare to talk, and saluted Master Sun again, which was regarded as recognition.

Master Sun put on a smiling face, accepted his salute, and asked him about whether he is currently studying or not.Jia Huan originally intended to go to Li's house once before leaving, and talk about his going back to Jinling for the imperial examination, lest people want to find someone to pass on the message but can't find anyone.Now that Mr. Sun asked, he told me that he might return to Jinling by the way.

"Go back to Jinling for the imperial examination?" Master Sun looked at Jia Huan suspiciously: "Why do you want to go back to Jinling? According to your family, it's not like you can't take the exam in Beijing."

Jia Huan smiled wryly, and told about his illness all those years ago.Those two were not Jia Zheng, and they immediately realized that it was better to avoid disaster than Jia Huan said that they were going back to Jinling for the imperial examination.

Mr. Li asked: "I see what you have learned, and you still have less time to take the entrance examination for Tongsheng. If you delay on the road, I'm afraid there will be no hope next year."

Jia Huan replied: "Sister Lin lent me the book that my uncle annotated, and I can read it even on the road. Besides, it doesn't matter if I fail the exam next year. I can wait for the exam next year in Jinling, so that I don't have to run around on the road." In the next year, Rongguo Mansion will not be far away from being raided. When I come back, Madam Wang may not have the energy to deal with her.

When Master Sun heard that Daiyu had lent Lin Ruhai's commentary to Jia Huan, he shook his head and sighed, "My niece Lin is also a virtuous person. In this way, this kid can be regarded as half of Brother Lin's disciple."

Li Shilang also nodded: "If niece Lin hadn't borrowed his copybook, I'm afraid we wouldn't have discovered brother Lin's arrangement, and we wouldn't know about niece's situation. It can be seen that this son is also sincere."

Master Sun then asked Jia Huan who his teacher was now.Jia Huan replied that he only had classes in the home school, and that he was only doing memorization and practicing calligraphy on weekdays.Master Sun pondered again.

Master Li then asked Jia Huan when he was leaving.Jia Huan himself wasn't sure, it didn't matter what he said, it all depended on Jia Zheng's mood.Those two also knew it well, saying that they wanted Jia Huan to tell the Li family before leaving, and asked about Daiyu's daily life.The focus is actually on Daiyu's residence after entering Beijing, and the relationship with Jia Baoyu.

Could it be that the phoenix egg has already spread the poems of the gold hairpins in the garden?You know, girls in this era don't need the reputation of being talented.Those who spread their talent and fame often have ulterior motives in their families and want to climb to the top.

Jia Huan said cautiously: "When Sister Lin first came, let alone me, even she was only a few years old. There is an old lady in the family who decides, and she can only do as she pleases. Come back this time, because you have to To keep filial piety for Uncle Lin, I cleaned up another house in the old lady's yard. If it wasn't for the mother's will, I wouldn't move to live in the garden. Even Brother Bao, I just got used to it when I was young."

Li Shilang nodded and didn't say much.Mrs. Sun snorted in his nose: "What a virtuous concubine, she made a good decree." The word decree was bitten very hard, and there was a bit of gnashing of teeth, and the tone was quite contemptuous.

Jia Huan thought about it for a moment, and suddenly remembered that according to Gong Douwen, ordinary concubines have no right to make orders, and communicating with her family can only be regarded as passing letters.As for the women in the harem, apart from the queen mother, only the queen can make an order.And the will of the empress, whom the Rongguo Mansion has always been proud of, is actually an arrogance!

Thinking of this, his face turned pale, and his forehead was sweating a little: Could it be that these two are looking for Yuan Chun's trick?And because of his time travel, the Rongguo Mansion ransacked the house earlier?But he was not ready for a retreat, even the imperial examination had no shadow.As for the Rongguo Mansion, which was ransacked in advance, he didn't know if anyone could escape.

Li Shilang and Master Sun looked at each other, it is rare that there is a sensible person in Rongguo Mansion, but unfortunately he is a concubine who is not valued, it can be seen that the defeat of that mansion is really inevitable.But since it's rare for this kid to understand, it won't be too difficult to reach out and help him when the time comes.

Jia Huan didn't know that just when he was worried about the future, the golden thigh in his life had already been sent to him.He only listened to Mr. Li asking: "Since you are going back to Jinling for the exam, can your master arrange for you to follow?"

Jia Huan shook his head and said no, Master Li just sighed, thinking that Rongguo Mansion's behavior was really unexpected.If you don't pay attention to this bastard, then why let him go back to Jinling for the exam.But when he went back to Jinling to take the exam, even his husband didn't arrange it. Could it be that he thought that his children were geniuses, and he passed the exam by reading books?

Master Sun's thoughts coincided with those of Li Shilang, and he said to Jia Huan, "I have a family nephew who is teaching at Qingshan Academy in Jinling. Tomorrow I will write a letter and leave it in Li's residence. Go and find Master Li." I took it."

Jia Huan was really kneeling down——Academy, he originally thought that he would go to Jinling, memorize Lin Ruhai's annotations by rote, and pass the scholar examination.But I didn't expect Master Sun to give him a big gift, and directly introduced him to Qingshan Academy.Regardless of how much you can learn, it is definitely better than memorizing it by rote.Maybe in the future after the Rongguo Mansion ransacked his home, if he was released without charge, he could still continue the exam, which would be more beneficial to the completion of the task.

Kneel, you have to kneel!The ecstasy in those eyes couldn't be concealed no matter what, and he didn't have to.

Li Shilang saw it clearly from the side, and couldn't help feeling sorry for Jia Huan again.For ordinary Qingliu families, the concubine and concubine are even more distinct.But their understanding is that if they can have a concubine, it is better not to have a concubine.However, if there are concubines, they will seldom give up and raise them. Instead, they will cultivate the clan concept of these concubines and be the help of the concubines.

The Rongguo Mansion is not a clean stream, so it is not a pity that the concubine should be adopted and abandoned.As for not being well-bred, why bother to give birth to him, Li Shilang, who was born in Qingliu, couldn't say it.However, Jia Huan, who was abandoned and raised, but was self-motivated and had a sincere heart, was looked up to in Li Shilang's eyes, and he secretly said that good bamboo shoots out of bad bamboo.

At this point, when all the questions he wanted to ask were finished, Li Shilang didn't stay with Jia Huan, and served tea to see off the guests.

Jia Huan still knew this, and after honestly resigning, he jumped up as soon as he went out, which surprised the little cap who was about to send him back to Rongguo Mansion.However, his professional quality is better than that of Rongguo Mansion's servants, and he didn't even show a surprised expression, and led the way silently.

By the time he said goodbye to Tsing Yi Xiaomao, Jia Huan had regained his composure.Thinking back on the conversation between myself and Li Shilang, I felt that even if Li Shilang's doubts could not be dispelled, at least it was an explanation for Daiyu, which must have made the Li family more determined to take Daiyu to live.

As the time for him to leave the mansion was getting closer, Aunt Zhao watched him more closely.Knowing that he left the mansion again today, he had to chatter a few words.Seeing that Xiao Que was not there, Jia Huan asked Xiao Jixiang to visit the door, and told Aunt Zhao how he met a nobleman today, but how he met this nobleman was only due to his own personality charm.

Aunt Zhao sneered and said: "That's not because you are a man in this mansion, so you come here. Don't let people fool you with a few nice words. When you go out, you'd rather be on guard."

As soon as Jia Huan said that, she already regretted it.He was so excited just now that he wanted to find someone to share it with. Aunt Zhao poured cold water over it. He calmed down and said with a smile, "My aunt understands that I was almost deceived. That's what my aunt said. What are you thinking about Zhuan. Auntie must not tell the master, or I will be scolded again."

Aunt Zhao also knew Jia Zheng's temper, so naturally she didn't mention a word to him.

But after the first lunar month, the whole Rongguo Mansion knew that Jia Huan was going back to Jinling for the exam.Jia's mother called Jia Zheng over to ask, and heard Jia Zheng said that she wanted to let Jia Huan know that the life was difficult, so she let it go.

Mrs. Wang can't get rid of it with a word, but she can't be Jia Zheng's master.Fortunately, Wang Xifeng gave her an idea to prepare a few more "good" servants for Jia Huan. Wouldn't it be cheaper to do things on the road, so Mrs. Wang calmed down and told her confidantes not to mention it.

The Grand View Garden also heard the news. Although Jia Huan didn't have much contact with everyone, he had to resign before leaving.Jia Baoyu only sighed that Jia Huan had entered the first class of Lubei, and it was considered a farewell message.Daiyu thought that she had already obtained the letter from Li's family, and she had already packed up some books that Lin Ruhai had annotated—it was originally borrowed, and Daiyu did not ask Jia Huan to return it.

No one knows what Tanchun thinks in his heart, but on the surface, he still only tells Jia Huan not to indulge just because he leaves the mansion, and has nothing else to say.Because Jia Huan wanted to leave, he didn't want to have another conflict with her, so he just agreed and it was over.

Yingchun and Xichun are just for Jia Huan to cherish, so there is nothing else to say.For these two sisters, Jia Huan has more complicated feelings than for Tanchun. After all, Pearl protected Yingchun for half of her life in the previous life, and Xichun also became friends with her later.But in this life, Jia Huan couldn't say much to the two of them.

The only thing is that after Yingchun gets married, he will visit her a few more times as a brother of her mother's family to support her so that Sun Shaozu dare not torture her.Alas, Jia Huan sighed inwardly, if only he could mess up Yingchun's marriage with Sun Shaozu.

But now there is still no shadow of this matter, and his trip date has been set: on the eighth day of February, Li travels.

On the night of the seventh day of the lunar new year, Aunt Zhao dragged Jia Huan and nagged endlessly, but she just wanted him to pay attention to his body, and when he returned to Jinling, he had to take out the master's money, and don't let the two newly picked servants provoke him.Although Che Zhulu was talking back and forth, it also made Jia Huan feel sore.

When I was a pearl in my last life, I had already seen the Hua family use their blood relationship to plot and use it, and the so-called family affection in Rongguo Mansion was not much different.Jia Huan thought that most of the family affection in the world was like that.But who knows that Aunt Zhao is different from others, no matter how vulgar she is, she does her best to protect her children.This made Jia Huan also put the nagging woman in front of him in his heart.

If you are destined to be a mother and son, then do it well.In this life, I must keep her safe until she dies.

Xiao Jixiang raised her voice outside the house: "Sister Xueyan is here."

Aunt Zhao looked at Jia Huan, and said, "Please come in quickly. It's cold outside on such a day, it seems to have froze Miss Xueyan."

Following the words, Xueyan came in, blessed Aunt Zhao and Jia Huan, and then looked at Xiao Jixiang.Aunt Zhao nodded, indicating that this girl is still trustworthy.Xueyan said: "Our girl asked me to give the deeds of these two people to the third master. If the mountains are high and the rivers long, let them serve the third master." As he spoke, he handed over the two deeds.

People from the Lin family!Jia Huan had seen the methods of the Lin family in his previous life, so he had no doubts about their loyalty.Thinking about it, Daiyu also knew that the Rongguo Mansion would not match her with any good servants, so she sent two people to her without avoiding suspicion.

Just as Aunt Zhao was about to speak, she saw that Jia Huan had already taken the two deeds: "Go back and thank Sister Lin for me, just say great kindness without saying thank you."

Xueyan said: "Our girl said that these two people are quite agile, and the third master can help them if something happens. Even the monthly money, the third master doesn't have to worry, they brought it themselves. When the third master thinks that they are useless, let's go Just let them go."

Then Xueyan took out a bank note from her bosom: "This is our girl's rite of passage to the third master, the poor family is rich, so the third master should not refuse."

Jia Huan knew it was useless to push, so he thanked him again and again.He personally sent the person to the gate of the courtyard.When I went back to the house, I saw Aunt Zhao holding the bank note in a daze, she didn't even know she came in.

"What's wrong with Auntie?" Jia Huan asked in a low voice for fear of scaring Auntie Zhao.Then Aunt Zhao looked at the bank note as if she didn't hear it.Jia Huan raised his voice a bit: "What is Auntie looking at?"

Aunt Zhao's body trembled a little: "Look. This mansion says that Miss Lin came here alone, but there is someone who is alone, and she just gave these as gifts?"

Only then did Jia Huan see clearly that the bank note clearly said 2000 taels.Knowing that he might have to stay in Jinling for two years, Gongzhong gave him only 500 taels.Because Aunt Zhao cried to Jia Zheng, it was just that Jia Zheng gave another 200 taels in private, which was not as much as the ceremony sent by Lin Daiyu.

Jia Huan first stared at Xiao Jixiang and said, "I will rot in my stomach about the snow geese coming today."

Looking at Jia Huan's almost cannibalistic eyes, Xiao Jixiang nodded hurriedly: "Don't worry, third master, I don't know anything, I haven't seen anything." She can still read the characters, but she really doesn't.

Jia Huan nodded and said: "I'm leaving, take good care of Auntie. Go out and guard first." Xiao Jixiang hurriedly went out to guard the gate.Jia Huan then said to Aunt Zhao: "Auntie, let's pretend this didn't happen. Even with Sister Lin, there is no need to get close to her on purpose. But I am not in the house, so Auntie doesn't have to argue with my wife anymore." Life is the most important thing.

Aunt Zhao hadn't woken up from the shock of the bank note, she said in a nonsensical way: "You're not in the mansion, what else should I fight for. I'm just thinking about your third sister."

Well, it's good to have something for her to remember.Jia Huan didn't want to argue with Aunt Zhao again, but just persuaded her: "The third sister doesn't want Auntie to come forward, and Auntie would rather stay away. Even if she said something, Auntie didn't hear it and let it go. And there is Sister Lin Auntie, don't tell the master about sending off the ceremony."

Aunt Zhao woke up from the shock, and nodded after hearing Jia Huan's words: "Don't worry, I still don't know if it's serious or not." Jia Huan then told her something about the Zhao family and Zhuangzi.

No matter how much reluctance to give up, a farewell will eventually be inevitable.In the early morning of the eighth day, Jia Huan kowtowed outside the old lady's house, and said goodbye to Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang.After learning a few lessons, Aunt Zhao sent them to the second gate, but no one else in the mansion showed up.Aunt Zhao was already unhappy because her son was going to travel far away, but now that there is no one in the mansion to send Jia Huan off, she is going to make a fuss.

Jia Huan quickly stopped her, telling her not to obstruct the eyes of those who cared, and then said goodbye to Aunt Zhao and left.Meeting Zhao Guoji at the gate of the city, he found that Zhao Guoji was followed by two servants.It seems that the Lin family has been prepared for a long time. Jia Huan had no choice but to write down this favor first, and wait for the opportunity to return it.

The two servants Wang Xifeng picked for Jia Huan, one named Zhou Neng and the other Wang Zhu, were both servants in the same household as Zhao Guoji, so they were fairly familiar with each other.Seeing that Zhao Guoji was surrounded by two servants now, he was a little unconvinced: "Where did Brother Zhao get rich, and he even has people to serve him."

Zhao Guoji's face was also slightly red, but he still held on and said: "It's just that my parents are worried about Brother Huan, and let me take care of it. This way, my aunt can feel at ease."

Those two young servants came earlier to greet Jia Huan, their expressions were much more respectful than Zhou Neng and Wang Zhu's.Jia Huan said to several people: "It's time to start, don't talk about those useless things."

In the end, Jia Huan is the master, and now that Zhao Guoji is by his side, Zhou Neng and Wang Zhu are not too presumptuous, and obediently follow on the road.I don't want to have just left for less than three days, and before changing boats, Zhou Neng and Wang Zhu suddenly suffered from diarrhea, and they couldn't even go on the road.Jia Huan waited for a day, but the two didn't see each other well, so he had to leave the money and let them stay in the inn for the time being.If it gets better soon, then catch up later, if it takes three to five days to get better, then go back to the mansion first, anyway, there are Zhao Guoji and three people beside Jia Huan.

Zhou Neng and Wang Zhu complained bitterly, but they didn't know where their flaws were, and because they were life-saving people, they had to listen to Jia Huan's arrangement and stay in the inn to recuperate.Unexpectedly, one day was bad, two days were bad, and after seven or eight days, the diarrhea was considered to have stopped.But at this time, the money Jia Huan left was almost used up to buy medicines, and it was not enough to go to Jinling, so he had to go back to Beijing first.

After getting rid of the servant placed by Mrs. Wang, Jia Huan and the others heaved a sigh of relief.Especially Zhao Guoji, when he heard the two servants from the Lin family say that they had drugged Jia Huan's meal, he almost couldn't hold back, thinking of sending them to the government and forgetting about it.It was Jia Huan who stopped her, lest Mrs. Wang get the letter too early and send someone else.It was the young servant of the Lin family again, who managed to get the medicine out of nowhere, but put it in the food of those two people, and immediately caused the two guys to suffer.

This can be regarded as the blessing of Jia Zheng's poor communication with Mrs. Wang: Jia Zheng didn't tell Mrs. Wang that Zhao Guoji would follow.As for Lin Daiyu sending two servants to Jia Huan, even Jia Zheng didn't know about it, let alone talk about it.So Mrs. Wang thought, those two servants were older than Jia Huan, and two of them fought against one, and they would always get what they wanted, so they didn't even send an older follower, so they let the three go on the road.

When Mrs. Wang saw the two boys who finally returned to Beijing and found that they had been separated from Jia Huan for more than ten days, it was too late to send someone to catch up.They had no choice but to send a letter to the old residence in Jinling, telling the people there to keep an eye on Jia Huan, and it would be best if he couldn't take part in next year's childbirth examination.

Jia Huan didn't know how mad Mrs. Wang was, but now he and Zhao Guoji were on the boat going south, working hard in the cabin every day.The boat was rough, and the two couldn't practice calligraphy. Every day, each of them had a copy of the Four Books and Five Classics annotated by Lin Ruhai.

Jia Huan not only had to memorize it by himself, but also taught Zhao Guoji the words he didn't know and the words he didn't understand.Zhao Guoji expressed his amazement at Jia Huan's memory and comprehension ability. They all read books, so how could he remember so quickly and explain clearly?

Just in Zhao Guoji's doubts, after nearly two months of waterway, Jia Huan and the others finally arrived in Jinling.After getting off the boat, the feet of the four of them felt a little fluttering, as if the ground under their feet was still shaking.Jia Huan didn't even think about going back to the old house in Rongguo Mansion, so he quickly found a clean inn and settled everyone down.

"Brother, why don't we go back to the old house? Why waste the money." Zhao Guoji didn't quite understand.

Jia Huan shook his head and said: "Those who look after the house, none of them are the ones that the wife tricked. If we go back there, let alone go out to study, it's the food they cook. Do you dare to eat it?"

Thinking of Zhou Neng and Wang Zhu drugging Jia Huan's food, Zhao Guoji shuddered, but forget it, just spend some money, it's better than worrying about his own life all the time.

After resting for two days, Jia Huan asked the two boys to go out to find out where Qingshan Academy was and how far it was.Zhao Guoji had no idea whether he could enter Qingshan Academy. After all, the gap between him and Jia Huan was a bit far away, and his name was not listed in the recommendation letter from Mr. Sun.

Jia Huan also had no idea.

The reason why he asked Zhao Guoji to take the imperial examination at the time was because he felt that he was still young, and it was better to read more books than to hang around at home-when Zhao Guoji was in Rongguo Mansion, he only learned to serve others, and he still served his nephew.So once he left the mansion, he had no idea what he could do or what he should do.Why don't you read some books first, buy a shop yourself in the future, keep your own accounts, and be a shopkeeper.

Now Zhao Guoji's interest in reading has come up, and he is working hard, but his foundation is too poor.He is not like Jia Huan, he has golden fingers, not to mention his memory, his comprehension and inductive ability are unmatched.Asking Zhao Guoji to take the entrance examination for children is like letting a person who has graduated from elementary school for a few years now say that he is asked to take the college entrance examination. It can be made up.

With Zhao Guoji's current level, he will have to study hard for three or two years before he dares to think about the next step.In order to fear that Zhao Guoji would be hit by going to Qingshan Academy in the future, Jia Huan decided to talk to him now.

After listening to Jia Huan's analysis, Zhao Guoji was silent for a while, and then he smiled and said: "Three or two years, three or two years, anyway, if I hadn't left my citizenship early, my grandson's generation would be able to take the imperial examination, and now I can do it in my life." The imperial examination is already earned."

Jia Huan didn't expect Zhao Guoji to be so open-minded, and suddenly felt that he was a bit domineering and hasty in deciding the future of others.So he said to Zhao Guoji: "Uncle, I took it for granted. Now think about what you want to do in the future."

Zhao Guoji thought for a while and said: "I still want to try to see if I am the material. Even if Qingshan Academy does not accept me, then I will rent a room next to the academy to read books and practice calligraphy by myself. If there is a private school, I will go to the private school, anyway, no one here knows what I used to do."

"Okay." Jia Huan nodded: "Then we will go to Qingshan Academy tomorrow. Maybe Mr. Sun won't even accept me, and then we have to go to private school together."

Zhao Guoji has confidence in Jia Huan: "Impossible, you are so good at studying, they will definitely accept you."

So on the second day, the two went to Qingshan Academy to see Mr. Sun according to what the boys had asked.After a while, someone came to lead them into the academy.The academy is built on the hillside, and there are no gorgeous buildings, and there are no strange rocks, only winding paths and green shade everywhere.Under the cover of green trees, the white walls and blue tiles emit the sound of reading, which makes people feel peaceful and peaceful all their lives.

Mr. Sun's nephew, Mr. Sun, is about the same age as Mr. Sun. He doesn't have the official authority of Mr. Sun, and he is more bookish.At this time, he was reading Master Sun's recommendation book. Jia Huan and Zhao Guoji waited for him to finish reading it, even if he vented his anger, he didn't dare to be angry, because it made people feel disgusted with him.

Putting down the recommendation, Mr. Sun first asked Jia Huan some academic questions. Jia Huan's hard work on the boat these days was not in vain, and he answered clearly and logically, which made Mr. Sun nod frequently.

Then Mr. Sun asked again: "I already know what Uncle Clan means, so what's the matter with this one?" Do you want to buy one get one free or something?

Jia Huan said: "The two of us have been studying together and have never been separated, so I got the recommendation of Mr. Sun, and I just wanted to see if I could worship under the teacher together."

Mr. Sun glanced at Jia Huan again, didn't say much, but his expression didn't change, and he directly asked Zhao Guoji about his studies.Zhao Guoji had a gap with Jia Huan in the beginning, and he was a little more nervous when facing his husband, so he just babbled when he answered.

Mr. Sun's expression remained unchanged, and he turned to Zhao Guoji, "How many years have you been studying?"

Zhao Guoji was even more embarrassed: "It turned out that I was studying at home with Huan'er, but because of family reasons, I only knew more than a thousand characters. It's only been two months since I really read."

Jia Huan's face turned green. I just told people that the two of you studied together since childhood. Now you say that you have only studied for two months. What's the matter?Fortunately, Mr. Sun's expression remained unchanged.After thinking for a while, the gentleman took out the paper himself, and Jia Huan hurried forward to grind the ink for someone else. The gentleman glanced at him, and when the ink was almost ready, he raised the pen and began to write.

When the ink was dry, Mr. Sun put the paper in a sleeve and handed it to Zhao Guoji: "This is a recommended book, written to Mr. Zhao from the private school in front. You are not suitable for entering the academy, but Mr. Zhao's The private school is quite suitable. After you study in the private school for a year, I will see your progress."

Jia Huan was not mentioned, but everyone knew that Jia Huan would have no problem entering the academy.Sure enough, Mr. Sun then told Jia Huan when to enter the academy, what to prepare before coming to the academy, not to bring the servants into the academy and other trivial matters.Jia Huan responded one by one, and Zhao Guoji also nodded.

Seeing that Zhao Guoji was blindly happy for Jia Huan, Mr. Sun didn't show any resentment, and felt that Zhao Guoji was a good-natured child.Although it's a little late when it comes to studying, it's not too late. If you're smart, you won't have the strength to try it in three or two years.Yin said: "If there is anything you don't understand on weekdays, you can also ask Jia Huan to tell me."

Jia Huan and Zhao Guoji thanked Mr. Sun several times before saying goodbye and going back to prepare for entering the academy tomorrow.After leaving the academy, he went to a private school and handed Mr. Sun's recommendation letter to Mr. Zhao.Then Mr. Zhao thought that he trusted Mr. Zhongsun very much, and he didn't ask Zhao Guoji how his studies were progressing, and just let him go to school tomorrow.

After returning to the inn, Zhao Guoji breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Jia Huan, "The two gentlemen are so imposing."

Jia Huan smiled: "That's because you have a guilty conscience. It's just that the two of us can't be together in the future, so why not rent a house near the private school. First, it's more convenient for you to go back and forth, so that I can have a place to stay when I take a rest. "

Zhao Guoji was a little worried because he had just heard two gentlemen talk about the cost of entering the academy and a private school for a year: "You pay 100 taels for a year in the academy, and I pay 30 taels a year in a private school, plus food and expenses. Huan'er, do we have enough money?" When he went out, his wife gave him 100 taels of silver, which was not enough.

Jia Huan reassured him: "When I left the mansion, the public gave me 500 taels, and the master gave me another 200 taels. The expenses on the way were less than 70 taels, even if we lived here for two years, it was enough."

Zhao Guoji gave Jia Huan his 100 taels of silver and asked him to keep it.Jia Huan did not refuse, so as not to make Zhao Guoji feel that he was spending Jia Huan's money in his heart, and then lose his ambition.

In the rest of the time, the two boys ran out to inquire about the house. Because time was too short, Jia Huan rented a small house next to Zhao Guoji's private school at a price that was 20% higher than the market price.Zhao Guoji felt that the price was too expensive and wanted to wait for a while. Jia Huan persuaded him: "The most important thing for us now is to go to school as soon as possible, and [-] taels of silver a year is not too expensive."

Zhao Guoji murmured, "This house is too small, and I feel wronged."

Jia Huan smiled, he didn't realize that he was a disciple of the Duke of the State, so he didn't feel wronged.Anyway, only Zhao Guoji and his two servants live in this house on a daily basis, and he lives in the academy.

With the rest of the day, the four of them moved their unimportant things into the house first. Because the beds and other things were not yet ready, they still stayed in the inn for another night.

Before going to bed, Jia Huan called two servants, one named Lin Shitou and the other named Lin Shenger, and asked them: "You sent us to Jinling, and you have settled down, but are you still willing to follow me?"

The two servants respectfully replied: "Returning to the third master, Grandpa Lin has said that our body deed is already in the hands of the third master, and we will be the third master's people in the future. Please don't worry, the younger ones will do our best." Do your best to serve the third master and Zhao master."

After these two people came to Jia Huan's side, Jia Huan knew their names as soon as he asked them. If the patriarch can give them a surname, they can't be exchanged for several generations of loyalty, so they never changed their names.Now I want to ask the two people, but it is just that he and Zhao Guoji go to school on weekdays in the future, and they are the only two people in the family, so they are afraid that they will have a disagreement.Now that I heard that Mr. Lin was the one who chose this person, I feel relieved.

"This is 20 taels of silver. After we go to school tomorrow, you go to buy things for the house. The beds, tables and chairs don't have to be new, as long as they can be used. But the bedding must be new. If you have How much is your monthly payment?"

Lin Shitou said: "We were originally raised by men's servants, but our uncle has gone, so our place is useless. But we usually do odd jobs with the steward, and it costs [-] yuan a month. But this three Don't worry, Grandpa Lin has given us three years of monthly money before leaving."

Zhao Guoji glanced at them to make sure that Lin Sheng was lying. The monthly wages of the odd jobs in Rongguo Mansion ranged from three hundred to five hundred, not as much as eight hundred.But Jia Huan knew that what these two said must be true, the Lin family may not show it on the surface, but the monthly salary of the servants is higher than that of the Rongguo Mansion.

He said: "In the future, Shitou will follow me, and Lin Sheng will follow Mr. Zhao. Each person will pay a monthly fee of [-] cents. It's just that you have to look after this house, and you have to learn to wash clothes and cook. You can do it. come?"

Lin Sheng replied with a smile: "My little mother left early, and my father is working in the mansion, and he also cooked for my younger brother. I'm afraid the cooking is not good, and I have wronged my father."

This Jia Huan didn't care, anyway, he had limited time to eat at home, so Zhao Guoji was afraid that he would suffer a bit.Fortunately, Zhao Guoji is not that spoiled, so he should be able to bear it.

Let the two boys go down, Zhao Guoji asked: "Brother, we have settled down, do we have to report to the mansion for safety?"

Jia Huan really forgot about this.If you ask him, Mrs. Wang might wish that he disappeared on the road.It's just that there is not only Mrs. Wang in the mansion, but also Aunt Zhao who is looking forward to it.So he started to write a letter to the mansion to report his safety, and he was going to let the boy see how to send it back to Beijing tomorrow.

Regarding his admission to Qingshan Academy, Jia Huan only said in the letter that he met Mr. Sun on the road, and they knew him well, so they wanted to take him to Qingshan Academy to study.Because he didn't want to delay his study time, he didn't tell the master first, and he agreed.It is also said that Qingshan Academy is far from the old house.
