[Comprehensive] Scum mother go away

It was supposed to be at the end of the filial piety, and the knighthood rewards that would only come after the papers were submitted, but now it has come down in less than a year. This has fully demonstrated to everyone in the capital what the Jia family has received now. How high is the emperor's pet, and at the same time, it is telling everyone in a cryptic manner that you should pay back the money, and there are benefits to paying back the money, but it is not certain if you can't.

Because there are too many other implied meanings here, Mother Jia is not too sensitive about the announcement time of this imperial decree, or she is psychologically prepared, but the title of Xijue and the official position of Jia Zheng make Jia Mu I can't be happy.

It's not that she values ​​the official positions of these two sons, after all, she has known for a long time that these two people will not be white, and even have a general idea of ​​the official positions they will have in the future, but this does not mean that she has not seen Change.

First of all, Jia Amnesty's title. In the original book, there was only one first-class general, who was only second-rank. It is far from the super-rank Marquis of today. It is simply two worlds. With this super-rank, the Jia family is It can still be called the first-class figure among the nobles in the capital, which is definitely the confidence of the entire Jia family.In Jiazheng, he had been an official for more than ten or twenty years, and finally managed to be a part-time job as a member of the Ministry of Industry from Wupin. He didn't have to go to work or do things. The face of the royal family treating heroes, but now, it is the Ministry of Rites, although it is a very idle department, but it sounds like it is given for the sake of Jia Zhenghao's study, that is to say, he is not casual. Arrangement, but thoughtful consideration, and I don't mean to make you a cold shoulder.There is still room for improvement.

The last point is the sign at the door. This sign is also Jia's mother's heart disease. She originally wanted to wait for her family to be filial piety, and then replace it after her son became a prince. Anyway, this family has the final say and is still authoritative. Don't be afraid. If they don't comply, it can be regarded as reducing some future troubles for their family. They don't want to be better now, everything is fine, and the royal family allows them to leave it until they pass away. favor.What more trouble could there be?

In addition, there is the Ning Mansion next door, which is also good, not to mention anything else, just that Jia Jing will be demoted to the first rank in the future, which is a big pie, not to mention that this directly raised several levels of official positions. A rookie who entered the imperial court became a fifth-rank official. Although he has some reputation for advancement, so what?The emperor made it clear that he wanted Jia Jing to gain a firm foothold in the imperial court, and those ministers would never disobey the emperor's will. As long as Jia Jing himself does not know how to offend others everywhere, then his court will be in the future. The road will be much easier, at least you won't be under too much pressure from above.No matter how poor the ability is, there is no problem in becoming a fourth-rank or something in the future.In this way, the Jia family can really be considered stable.

Thinking of this, even Jia Mu, who has a good sense of the future, can't help but smile. If it weren't for this, she would still be a widow, and the family was still keeping a filial piety. She couldn't help throwing a banquet to clear the guests. Sin, she didn't seem to have this problem before, could it be that it was the influence left by Jia Mu's original body?This love of extravagance can be so deep-rooted, it is really helpless. (Why do bad problems belong to others, and you have no intention of showing off?)

When the imperial decree came out, the whole Jia family was shaken and excited. They finally managed to maintain their image in the constant coughing of Jia Mu, so that the scene would not be too ugly. The people at home dared to cover their mouths and squint their eyes, and laughed silently.

Jia Amnesty was very excited, his eyes were red, he really didn't expect that he could become a Marquis, the best thing he had thought in the past was to get the title of a county magistrate, or the position of a first-rank general. No, the emperor is not interested in his own family. It is also possible that he is a second-rank general without a title. An official position is likely to weaken the emperor's affection for Jia's family, making his title lower than that of ordinary successors.

It’s better now, it’s actually the Marquis, as a son who worships his father to the point of blind obedience, he felt ashamed at the first time that he had complained about his father’s preference for his younger brother. Silver, to put a layer of credit on your own family, so as to ensure that your title can be inherited normally, so that you will think about getting more benefits for your younger brother. My father still misses me very much, but I am the eldest son, this heir. Not being motivated made my father a little disappointed.

Thinking of this, I inevitably thought of Mother Jia. Ever since my father passed away, although my old mother still had a preference for my younger brother and gave my younger brother's family the same treatment as my eldest son and eldest house, but in this matter of Xijue Son, when it comes to seeking benefits for her two brothers, my mother is still very fair. Not only do these things allow me to come forward, but I also give myself a chance to show my face in front of everyone and the courtiers. Let me learn from my uncle, which shows that my mother actually values ​​me more when it comes to inheriting the family business.In this way, it seems that there is nothing wrong with favoring the younger brother who cannot inherit the mansion. After all, because he was born late, the younger brother still suffers in general.

Thinking about it this way, Jia Amnesty miraculously healed the grievances Jia Amnesty had accumulated over the years because of his younger brother being favored. He even felt a little ashamed of his younger brother because of this. With a look of disbelief, he suddenly became a fifth-rank official without doing anything, and Shanghai as a whole was in a state of sluggishness.Jia Amnesty immediately stepped forward and yanked Jia Zheng's sleeve, then said in a low voice:

"Second brother, you don't have to go to the post right away before you have completed your filial piety. Hurry up and check everything in the Ministry of Rites, such as rules, etiquette, and procedures. In addition, I will help you find out about the situation of the superiors in the Ministry of Rites. You understand My son went to the next door to talk to my uncle, and asked if there is anyone I know who has contact with the officials of the Ministry of Rites, so that when the time comes, I will not go to the post with a black eye and be coaxed. This is the face given to our family by the royal family. You have to be careful what you do."

These are definitely mature and prudent words. Not to mention Jia Zheng, who was in a state of surprise, nodded after hearing this, but just followed along. At this moment, Wang Shi, who is dreaming of his wife's dream, also agreed. She is really happy at the moment. , this time I seem to have hope for Fengguanxiapei?Because of this, her distressed idea of ​​sending money away is gone. Seeing this uncle who used to be so unpleasant and useless is also very pleasing to the eye, not to mention that this uncle is still like this at the moment. Awesome, but also to give ideas, but also to help inquire about news.Busy followed and said:

"Uncle, this is really going to trouble you. By the way, you don't need to spend some money when you go out to inquire about the news. I will send someone to send it in a while. I don't know if 1000 taels is enough. Or you can use it first, not enough." Ask my second master to take it again?"

At this moment, Jia She is immersed in the mode of being a good brother, and he still wants money, so he hurriedly declined:

"No, this little money is nothing. It's another building. The younger brothers and sisters really need to prepare some gifts and wait for the uncle next door to ask someone who can be related. Don't forget to give gifts to each family. Anyway, first Get in touch in advance, and the second brother will be able to work in the Yamen in the future."

Definitely brothers and sisters, right?Jia Zheng was moved to tears, well, right now, the entire Jia family is in a state of excitement, and there are some people who are particularly easily moved, that is, Mrs. Zhang, whose pale face in the past has now turned ruddy No, now she has become Mrs. Hou all of a sudden, and her worth is only one level lower than her own mother-in-law. How can she not be excited? What's more, in this way, as long as her son is up to date, it will be a little bit Anyone with any talent or meritorious service may inherit the earl in the future. Doesn't that mean that when it comes to his grandson's generation, he may be a super class?She was so tempting that she wanted to tremble all over.

In the end, Mother Jia was the first to come back to her senses, calling the children to go back to her yard one by one. If you want to be excited, go back to your own room and cover the quilt. Well, don't pay again.

Another thing is to ask the housekeeper to go to the next door to congratulate Jia Daihua. This man can hear about his son's future way out before he dies. This is more reassuring than anything else. Even if he dies immediately, he doesn't have to smile.Isn't such a good thing worthy of congratulations?There are also imperial doctors, this kind of top experts who only treat emperors and empresses, not to mention that Jia Daihua is much better now, but no matter how bad it is, with such a master, no matter how you look at it, this Jia Daihua Can go for a few more years.

In this way, what else does the Jia family worry about?Even though this time, from the perspective of the friendship between the four kings and eight princes, they made their own decision without notifying them, and even put it into action. What they did was a bit unreasonable, but generally speaking, the Jia family took this step. Yes, that was so worth it.As for others?What is more important than yourself?So let's pretend that others don't know about it, since they are still keeping their filial piety anyway.

The others didn't have the time to think about how their Jia family turned their backs, they were all shocked by the imperial decree that the Jia family had only been demoted to a rank.Especially those who are like the Jia family, a tiger father and a dog son, that's really urgent. Rongfu's filial piety can't ask, so Jia Daihua's family can always ask!They are cousins, and the filial piety period has passed, so Jia Zheng hasn't gone to the uncle's house next door to ask for advice. Jia Daihua's house is already full of people, and they all come here under the name of visiting the sick. After careful questioning, I wanted to ask, what was Jia Daihua thinking, why did he suddenly pay back the money, did he get any news, and should they follow up, anyway. There are so many, some problems can even be called mentally handicapped, but Jia Daihua can understand them, and even feel a little sympathetic to each other, there is no way it is all for the children and grandchildren!

Of course, as the proud party of this incident, he has received such a big reward from the emperor, so he has to give a little expression and cooperate, so he also expressed his thoughts very seriously to everyone who came to visit, Why is there not enough money in the treasury? Why is this money going to be recovered sooner or later? Instead of being passive, it is better to take the initiative to pay it back. Even if it is only half of the money, it is also an expression of loyalty and patriotism. Of course, if you pay it all back, then It's the best, just look at what happened to the Jia family this time, the emperor is very wise, as long as what you do satisfies the emperor, it must be beneficial.

There are still a lot of people who have been fooled, or this time, the pies released by the emperor are really tempting. Many people can't help but think about it when they go back. Some families are really good in themselves, so they can do it right away. I want to pay back all of them, even if I am not strong enough, and my family business is not very good, I also think about whether to pay back some, not much, anyway, it is interesting or something.

Among these people, in fact, there are quite a few people who owe money for the emperor's family to inspect the south of the Yangtze River. The initiative to repay the money is the same as that of the original Jia family. It’s not for my own flowers, but it’s counted on my own head. It’s a bit of a loss, but think about it, someone has already paid it back. If they become loyal ministers, it’s okay to pay it back. If they don’t pay it back, it seems a little unreasonable. They took action immediately, and there were quite a few people who used the money from the treasury as a trend in order not to be squeezed out. It's a bit rogue, it doesn't seem very good!

But among these people, not everyone knows how to follow the trend and see the situation clearly, so they want to hang on to death, and there are a few because the family has been separated, and the one who inherits the family business doesn't want to be alone. It turns out that other people are not the owners of the house and don't want to bear the debt, so they also dragged it down.But no matter how you calculate it, there are still more people returning money to the household department.

In addition, because of this incident, the pawnshops in the capital suddenly started to improve their business. Some people were timid and wanted to pay back the money, but they couldn't make up for it for a while, so they pawned the big things at home, so that they could pay back the money , the first person to do this may really be because he didn't want to pay back the money, but the later people may not necessarily be. Some of them are specially taken care of by the old fox at home. Want to repay the money to my family for a long time, or to play a show to pay less money later, and tell others that it was not because I didn’t want to pay back, but because the family’s business was difficult, so I delayed it. Now that I want to pay back, I can only Selling things to make money, even so, it may not be able to make it all at once, so for the sake of our family's already squandering pots and irons, we will pay one-third, or one-fourth or something, don't worry too much , is already trying its best.

Hubu Shangshu doesn't care what you do or what your purpose is. He just knows that gold and silver are flowing into the treasury every day. This is a good thing. Looking at the account books, many bad debts have finally been cleaned up It's possible, so happy that I almost didn't drool.

The emperor, on the other hand, listened to the news of those spies, with a sneer on his lips. He is not a fool, so why don't he know what these ministers are thinking?Those who paid less than 1000 taels in one day paid back all their money at once. What is the reason for this?That's because they don't need to borrow money themselves, they want to join in the fun and borrow money from the treasury as a trend, and those who sell things, some of them are small and small, sell things, which is understandable, They originally borrowed money because their family was in trouble, but now they feel embarrassed when they see someone paying back the money, and they are timid, and want to pay it back. The family business has not been fully established, so they just want to sell things. But what about those big families?Will they have no silver?Especially those who don’t have a lot of debt, don’t have a car pick-up, and borrow a few 10 taels. They use it to sell things?Especially those second-rank and third-rank families, the emperor has never heard of how extravagant each family is. Some family stewards cost one or two hundred taels of silver to go out for a meal. Ten thousand silver?Play him like a monkey!You said the emperor could not sneer.

"That's great, I really watched a big show. Pawning to pay off debts, what a loyal person!"

The emperor's voice was very cold. Unfortunately, there were not many people who heard such a tone, they were his confidantes, so none of the people outside knew about it, and they were still doing their best. Of course, these things, the emperor Even if you know it, you can only know it in your heart. For the stability of the government, for the stability of the court, and for the sake of maintaining the dignity of the court, even if you know how to do some things, you can only do it in a different way. For example, treat these people who pay back the money.

The emperor gave some benefits in the end. For example, some families who followed the Jia family to pay back the money, even though they knew that they were just timid and followed up immediately after seeing the reward, but based on their determination, the emperor would also give it to them. Some benefits, so this family gives the child a status as a raiser, and the other family sends the child to the barracks as a seventh-rank, and if they are broken up, each of them is good, and they are all conspicuous and promising. The good thing is that it will definitely make these people look good.

In addition, there are some families who are indeed difficult to verify, but still try their best to pay back the money. The emperor is also very straightforward. Some affordable rewards, and even some of the talents among the low-level officials that the emperor accidentally discovered during this silver repayment incident were directly promoted to a first-level official position. Anyway, the rewards are various, almost human. People have a share, even those whose emperors know that they are acting. The only difference is, what kind of favors such as jade Ruyi are given by the emperor, don't look at these things that look noble, conspicuous, and favored. Really, in fact, this thing is a pit, that thing can’t be sold for money, it can only be offered, and if it’s broken, it’s still a crime, you say it’s a pit or not.

Of course, among these people, the question of the nobility that the lords longed for has also received some responses. Two of them have received the decree of being demoted to the second class. Although it is not as good as being downgraded to only one class, they can understand After all, everyone knows that the first person to eat crabs is always the one who earns the most. They know it well. Among them, at least one more generation can be maintained, which is a great thing.

Only the little book in the emperor's own mind remembers very clearly that those who he can give such a reward to are all the children of the family, which is not bad. None of them were sent out, and even only some things were given.

In other words, in fact, in this incident of repaying the money, the emperor used the amount of the reward to silently adjust these nobles. It may not be obvious now, but after three to fifty years , There must be an obvious difference between the upper and lower ranks of these people, this is the emperor's mind!

If Mother Jia really has the heart, she may be able to see it at this time. After all, she is also one of the people who have been brainwashed by countless palace scheming and other brainwashing in later generations. Unfortunately, she does not have this skill. She is busy at the moment. First of all, the children We, the children of the third generation are all in her house at the moment, receiving her education.

It's not that she wants to raise Jia Baoyu as pampered or something, and it's not that she wants to win children with her daughters-in-law, but it's an excuse that her daily life is too ordinary, and she feels very lonely by herself, so she makes the two of them feel lonely. The filial son immediately sent his own child here, and even acted as a mediator on his own initiative to comfort his daughter-in-law. He also said this in his explanation with his daughter-in-law:

"My father is gone, and my mother is so deserted by herself. Seeing that there are fewer people, it's better to have things to do a while ago, and I don't feel like I am busy. Now things are quiet. After a while I couldn't find anything to do, and my mother lost her energy. If things go on like this, she might not be able to make her sick, and it will be really bad at that time. It's better to send the child there every day. Be a companion for my mother, at least to keep her from thinking wildly. I know you don't want to give up, the big deal is to pick it up at night, if you don't worry anymore, you can do more on weekdays yourself, and it's good to talk."

This is filial piety, what can the wife say here?Naturally, I can only obey, and what my own man said is right, it's not that he won't come back after sending it, and it's not that he won't be able to meet, why bother to refuse?It's just that I stayed there for a while after I went to say hello every day, and didn't let the children leave my side. Under such a bottom line, these daughter-in-laws are still willing to let their children get close to their mother-in-law, not to mention anything else. To be vulgar, the old lady's future private money will be a huge amount, and she can't let her own children suffer and the sister-in-law next door be proud because of herself.

Even if there is no longer the tension between the tip of the needle because of housekeeping or rights, the competitive relationship between sisters-in-law still exists, more than husbands, children, and even children in the hearts of the elderly. The status of these are among the competing items.No one would compromise, so in the end it was Jia's mother who benefited and became the most lively place in the family.

And Jia's mother's education was also silent. At the beginning, she told the children about the ancient times, how the ancestors of the Jia family started from the dragon, how they fought, and how they established the Jia family's family business of two kingdoms. I raised my heart and let them know something about the family's honor, and then started to tell other stories, such as asking the servants at home to talk about the worldly customs outside.Talk about nursery rhymes that people know.

Don't tell me, these things that everyone outside the house may know, in this high-ranking family, Ann is a rare thing, let alone children, even these adults are willing to listen, anyway, it's all Keeping filial piety at home, and not going out very much, they all gathered with Jia Mu one by one to listen to the story.

When almost everyone in the family got used to listening to things and getting used to knowing the random news from outside every day, Mother Jia asked people to start gossip about some wealthy and powerful families. The affairs of each family that come out from us are enough.

It's not that she wants these children to know other people's affairs, but that she wants them to learn to look at the trivial matters of this wealthy family from the perspective of an outsider, and learn to self-examine, not to mention other things, It is enough for those servants to show off their power outside without telling the master, so that they can re-understand the power of these servants and know how to restrain the people around them. This is enough.

As for what else to learn?Who can learn more?This is not something Jia Mu can care about. It all depends on the talent of each person. After all, she can't do too much. Otherwise, wouldn't these people know that she has intentions?In case there is any resistance, and you feel that this is beating their servants or something, it’s not good. Don’t think that the servants in this family have already tidied up, and the family is fine. Since there are several masters, then The servants are naturally divided into several factions. With factions, there will naturally be disputes. Even if it is for the sake of her fair image, she can't say much.

In addition to these, the news from the Ministry of Rites that Jia Amnesty inquired also came over. The workflow of the Ministry of Rites has been made a list. With these, the two masters have things to do, and they are working hard for the future.Although Jia Amnesty doesn't have a real job, but he is going to become a prince in the future, in order to figure out what he can do and what he can't do in the future, he has to be careful.

Why sir?It is indeed the master. Didn’t Jia’s mother announce it after the imperial decree came down? Now that the imperial edict to inherit the title has come down, then from now on, I will be the old lady, Jia Amnesty will be the elder master, Jia Zheng will be the second master, and even In addition, some arrangements have been made for their residence. The Rongxi Hall is in accordance with the regulations of the Duke's residence, which is inconsistent with the Marquis. However, the ground cannot be broken during the filial piety period, so let's put it aside until the filial piety period is over, and then it will be rebuilt. , this main courtyard is for the eldest family to live in, including the side courtyard next to the main courtyard, and the back yard is all owned by the eldest, and I will move to the west side of the house in the future, the courtyard closest to the main house of the main courtyard. , and the two large courtyards behind her were given to the second son's family. Before she passed away, the second master's family did not need to separate. As for the future, she would divide the family between the two sons before she died.

Mother Jia's arrangement was very fair, and even Mother Jia made it clear that in order to be as fair as possible, she planned to buy another big house with five entrances for the second child after the filial piety, as the second child's future distribution. The residence of the rear of the family should be the one closest to the mansion, so as not to divide the brothers in the future. As for the division of the family property in the future, this is stipulated by express laws and the patriarchal system of the clan. She can't question it. Just rule points.

After hearing such words, whether it was Jia Amnesty or Jia Zheng, the eyeballs were a little red,

"Just after my father left, my mother said such things. This is poking my son's heart. The son only wants to let his mother live a long life. It is good for the son and younger brother to be with you for a long time to fulfill your filial piety. Please mother again Don't say such unlucky things."

I have to say that Jia Amnesty is really a very filial child, but recently this mother Jia gave her too much warmth, this child really forgot the indifference of Jia mother to him in the past, saying this When I heard that sincerely, everyone wanted to feel sad.

But Mother Jia looked indifferent:

"I'm not an old goblin, how can I still not die? Since people are always going to die, it's better to say everything clearly first, so that you brothers won't get along in the future, or have any entanglements. Although the second child can't win the title, but After all, he was also born to me, and he is a legitimate son, so I don't want to wrong him. I have been partial to him in the past. Naturally, I can't let him go at this time. Arrange a better place for him, so that future generations can be proud. This is what I The best arrangement can be made for the second child. After all, the national laws and family laws are there, and he will suffer even more when the family is separated. But don't feel uncomfortable for the second child. Xijue looks good and has a lot of family property, but There are more than half of the ancestral property here that cannot be moved, and must be passed on from generation to generation. If you really count, there are not many that can be used by your eldest brother. As for the title, the glory is also risky. It's pleasing to the eye, there is no chance that there will be anything wrong with the clansmen, but this raider will definitely die, so boss, you have to be sensible! Learn to be cautious!"

Having said that, Mother Jia smacked her mouth, feeling that she seemed to have said too much, a bit of a spoiler, so she stopped busy and talked about something else.

"It's my private money, and I have an arrangement. I will see who you are filial, and I will give more to them in the future. You can figure it out."

Everyone who said this laughed, and Mrs. Zhang said to Jia Hu in a rare way:

"Have you heard that, when you want to marry a daughter-in-law, ask your grandmother to give you some benefits, you have to try hard to curry favor. Otherwise, mother will not be able to help you."

At this point, the children all laughed foolishly, they are not shy about marrying a wife at the moment,

"understood."

This idiot is still talking?This time the laugh was even worse, and even Mrs. Wang was rubbing her stomach. The relationship between the two sisters-in-law is much better than before. Even the separation of the family has been settled. What else is there to earn? ?The rest of the old lady's private house is just like what the old lady said, when she sees who is filial and whoever likes it more, then whoever gets more, it's such a simple thing, and it will be up to these children themselves in the future She really has no reason to earn money. With this skill, she might as well tidy up her own yard. Those concubines and concubines are her enemies.

Mother Jia is busy with her own affairs, and Jia Daihua is also busy. His son's promotion is a good thing, but this new official position is a new small circle, so he has to worry about his son's integration into the new circle.There is also the grandson, seeing that the issue of his family's future title has been solved, he naturally has the idea of ​​letting his grandson have a real job in the future. It would be better for his grandson to have a talent that is easy to be admired. After taking the school exam for a long time, he discovered that his grandson, apart from being interested in hunting, doesn't like anything else!Oh, and, that's pretty good, so what should I do?

Jia Daihua, who had been thinking about it for several days, finally decided to let his grandson skip the Jinshi exam and send him directly to the mathematics class, so that he could prepare for the mathematics exam in the future.

The imperial examination began in the Tang Dynasty. In fact, there were many branches. The Jinshi examination in the Four Books and Five Classics is one, the absolute Jinshi department, the most dazzling, and the best future. The scientific examinations for being an official, such as criminal names, law, and arithmetic, etc., these examinations are more professional and simpler, as long as you pass the professional examinations, you can become an official, just because these officials have There are too many constraints, and it is generally difficult to achieve a high position in an official position, so it has not been valued too much for a long time, so that many times it feels a little cold.

However, in Jia Daihua's view, this is a shortcut, a shortcut for Sun Tzu to become an official. At least it is more formal than those donating officials, and it is better than donating officials. It is not despised by others in the professional field. , For example, those who came out of the criminal name department, in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Dali Temple, there is still hope for a fourth or fifth grade, and most of the people who are counted as graduates are in the household department.He just planned to let Jia Zhen take the mathematics test, and then find a way to get it to the Ministry of Household Affairs. In this way, even if the grandson's future official position will not be too big, it will be an official position after the test anyway, so that he won't lose his son as a Jinshi too much. Face, it can also make the Jia family have one more upright official in the court.

I have to say that this idea is really not so reliable, even Jia's mother was a little moved when she heard about it, and she wanted to let Jia Amnesty try it too. Unfortunately, Jia Amnesty is only interested in antiques and so on. , there is no antique appraisal department these days, so we can only stop cooking.

At the same time, Jia Amnesty felt that he had let his old lady down, and was very frustrated. It was rare for him to be motivated, so he devoted himself to studying calligraphy and painting. Go to the Ministry of Rites and various archives, and a painter in Ruyi Museum can barely be regarded as an official.

Although it is not a perfect subject, at any rate, Mr. Jia She has self-motivated. Jia's mother is very pleased about this, even Mrs. Zhang was very touched by tears.As for whether it can be done?This is really God knows.
