Zhen Fei rises up in the Red Chamber

Regarding this point, Zhen Hui and the others really don't know. After all, they are not natives of the capital city. This reflects the benevolent atmosphere under the emperor's feet. They are tall and well-mannered activities. They have never participated in it before, and they can do it now. Yes, of course it is a choice to listen to Jia Jing elaborate.After all, they are also settled in the capital now.It's never good to be out of place!

Speaking of the charity activities every winter, it is actually a kind of behavior that is slowly and spontaneously. At the beginning, it was the nobles in the capital who did these things. They all came from poor backgrounds. After they became famous, they saw the disasters suffered by the common people in winter. They couldn't help but think of themselves in the past, so they set up some porridge sheds at the east gate of the capital. Later, many old people from other official families also began to Participation, after all, since ancient times in China, doing good deeds and accumulating virtue is a very marketable idea.

With the actions of these people, the government has also begun to participate. After all, as a regime, disaster relief is one of their responsibilities. Until now, it has almost formed a state of unspoken rules.For example, the porridge relief has begun to be divided according to the region.

Outside the east city gate is basically the porridge relief point for nobles, the north gate is the territory of the imperial merchants and other officials living in the north, and the west is the merchants everywhere, and the merchants are in charge. As for the south gate, because the people living here are civilians and their wealth is relatively low, it has become a relief site for the government. In addition to the government, some low-level officials who live in the south will also participate if they have the spare capacity.

There are also places outside the capital, if the Zhuangzi in various places suffer disasters, most of them are the responsibility of the head of each family, and the poor are reported to the household department by the local government, and the household department allocates funds for relief.With such a well-coordinated and well-adjusted resettlement method, the vicinity of the capital can be so stable and stable.Human tragedies have been effectively brought under control.

Then the question came, like at this moment, Zhen Hui asked a crucial question:

"Relief every year? Could it be that the capital is prone to disasters in winter?"

If so, this really isn't a good place to live, but Zhen Hui doesn't look like it!He went out with his buddies several times for outings, and saw that although the peasants were living in poverty, he didn't see any sparsely populated situation.

"It's not every year. Normally speaking, there will be such a big snow disaster every five or six years. But since it's relief, the relief is not necessarily all the snow disaster victims. There are also many people who have no food and clothing. Like beggars, such people live in no fixed place and are not covered with clothes. In winter, if there is no one to help such people, they are likely to freeze and starve to death. Therefore, such things happen every year. The most important thing is to help these people to survive the cold winter. It is precisely because of this that, in fact, the so-called porridge donation every year, if there is no catastrophe, it is just that each family takes turns to set up a porridge shed for a few days .”

Jia Jing spoke softly, knowing that the Zhen family was not clear about these things, so he spoke very carefully, but he couldn't help frowning again, a little worried:

"It's just that this year, I'm afraid it won't be so easy. Not to mention that the heavy snow is nearly ten days earlier than in previous years, even the weather is much colder. According to the people of Qin Tianjian, I'm afraid this year will be the worst in ten years. It's a cold winter. If this happens, more and more people will be affected. The most important thing is that we have this kind of climate here, and it may be even worse in the north. If the grassland snow disaster is serious, those If the barbarians freeze to death too many livestock, I'm afraid the border will not be peaceful."

What he said was not very clear. After all, this has already involved national policy, such as the mobilization of troops, the strengthening of national border defenses, etc. If it weren't for the fact that the Zhen family was also an official, if it wasn't for the close relationship between them and the Jia family, these words He would never say anything.

But it's just these simple few words, not mentioning Mr. Zhen, even Zhen Hui understands. After all, he is also a soldier, so he is more sensitive to such things.

Too many livestock died on the grassland, which naturally affected the survival of those nomads. If they want to survive, they want not to weaken their strength and let other tribes annex them. The best way is naturally to go to a place with sufficient food Looting is to make up for the loss. For the nomads who are not good at hoarding supplies, in their eyes, the people in the southern Central Plains are naturally absolutely wealthy people. Not only food, but as long as the robbery is successful, they can also get a lot of other things. Therefore, at this time, the frontier area is definitely a dangerous area. In order to defend the frontier defense, the frontier army will naturally have to strengthen its defenses, and even increase the garrison there, so as to avoid the loss of the country and the displacement of the people after the war .

Having figured this out, Zhen Hui couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at Jia Jing. It's really surprising that Jia Jing, who he always thought was a little innocent and even a little ignorant of the world, still has such a big picture view, maybe This is the innate advantage brought by the so-called family background. No matter how ignorant you are, under the influence of your parents, you know more about many things than ordinary people.Like this snow disaster, how many people can see the problem of border defense from it?

Thinking of this, looking at the heavy snow outside, Zhen Hui's heart also became heavy. The auspicious snow heralds a good harvest, and it has always been beautiful, but under this beauty, there are crises of one kind or another. of.

The people in the room seemed to lose interest in talking all of a sudden, and each of them fell silent, but Zhen Ji, who was still young, didn't understand what the adults were talking about, and didn't understand why the atmosphere suddenly changed, so he just looked at it. Everyone felt that he could finally intervene, so he suddenly said to Jia Jing:

"Uncle Jing, when you get rid of your beard, I will call you big brother, okay, you are too old to have a beard."

Jinglei, just such a sentence, immediately blasted the somewhat depressing atmosphere out of the room, several people couldn't help laughing, Jia Jing was even more dumbfounded, he didn't know what to say, but Master Zhen felt that although such a son was cute, he was a little rude, so he hurriedly scolded him:

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Zhen Hui, which seemed to be accusing Zhen Hui of not teaching his younger brother well. Zhen Hui was really sad seeing it. It was too easy for him to be a father, and even the responsibility of teaching was given to him. For him, really, watch out for him to suddenly strike one day.

After hearing Master Zhen's words, Jia Jing hurriedly smoothed things over:

"Sir, you don't need to be like this. Ji Ge'er is still a child. He speaks like a child, so he can take it seriously. Besides, what he said is reasonable. Ever since Zhen Ge'er was born, my mentality is really a bit frivolous. , Now that Ji Geer said this, I realized that it needs a good reflection."

After hearing Jia Jing's words, Zhen Hui felt better towards him. He is such a good boy. He not only knows how to smooth things over, but also knows how to criticize himself. How did such a good boy become that drug addict in the original book? It's really strange, but fortunately, with their appearance now, the key is that with him, if this child becomes addicted to drugs again in the future, judging by his performance today, Zhen Hui thinks he You can also save him in a good way.

After all, in Zhen Hui's eyes, a person who treats him well and treats his younger brother well is a good person. This way of looking at people is definitely partial enough, but people are always divided into close and distant Right, this is the norm.

When Jia Jing talked about this child, he couldn't help showing a look of joy, which shows that he really likes the eldest son who is named Jia Zhen. Seeing this, Zhen Hui did not hesitate to praise him :

"Brother Zhen is really cute. Brother Jing doesn't know. Ji Geer also said just now that he wants to take Brother Zhen to raise him. Even such a milk baby likes him so much, let alone an adult. Anyway I like it very much, it's soft and fragrant. Right, Ji Geer?"

As the eldest brother, although he doesn't want to say anything wrong about his younger brother in front of others, what he said just now really made Jia Jing a little embarrassed. He also hopes that his family will be liked by more people, so he naturally wants to smooth things over for his younger brother. Anyway, what he said It's all true, right?

"Brother Zhen, Xiang, is more interesting than my sister."

Zhen Ji is also very face-saving, and immediately nodded with a smile, but the next words are not interesting:

"Drools more than I do. Shame."

Now everyone is dumbfounded, who is this kid, this narrow-minded, just because he drools honestly, always makes people laugh at him, saying he is ashamed, so he wants to bring back a drool more ?To make him look good?Not to mention that Master Zhen felt his old face turned red when he heard it, even Zhen Hui felt ashamed, but Jia Jing laughed, looked at Master Zhen and said:

"Ji Geer is really interesting. Sure enough, it's only fun when the child can talk. It's a pity that my Zhen Geer is just a fool who eats, eats and sleeps. Otherwise, the family must be much happier."

Is this playing the paddock?Zhen Hui didn't know what to say, but Master Zhen paused before saying:

"You are also blessed. You will have your eldest son in less than twenty years. At my age, I am afraid that you will have children in groups. Are you afraid that the family will not be lively?"

This is also Master Zhen's sincere words. Thinking about the age of his son and Jia Jing, it is really more annoying than others.It is absolutely easy to feel unbalanced, but fortunately, Mr. Zhen has self-cultivation, but with such a sentence, he immediately changed the topic, lest everyone talk about dead ends.

"Speaking of which, brother She and brother Zheng have lived in my house for a month or so. If you come today, you will take them back to meet their parents. Although it is important to go to school, filial piety must not be neglected."

Speaking of these two children, Jia Jing's face became more and more grateful.

"Thanks to sir, the two of them have changed a lot. Even my father said they have grown up."

What he said is really true. These two things have indeed changed a lot. As far as Jia She is concerned, this child is actually really good. As the eldest son and grandson of the Duke's Mansion, he has The old man personally taught him to grow up, whether he was studying or practicing martial arts, they were all very tightly grasped, but this kind of life only lasted for three or four years, the old man became seriously ill, and finally passed away. His upbringing was put into the hands of the old lady, the youngest son, the eldest grandson, the old lady's heart, facing such a common saying, the old lady really used it to the extreme, treating Jia Amnesty like a rare treasure, How to describe it, it's Shi Shi's copy of Jia Baoyu.Under such circumstances, gradually Jia Amnesty himself began to slack off, and no longer made progress as before.Coupled with being ignored by his mother and feared by his father, he felt that he was not valued and was an existence that people didn't like. His mentality began to be decadent, and he felt a little bit self-defeating.After a long time, it will start to develop in the direction of dude.Speaking of which, it really wasn't his own fault.

If the situation continues like this, then the story of the growth of Master She will not change at all, but it is different now. First of all, Jia Jing has come to his senses and his relationship with his father has improved. He told his father about his younger brother's situation. Through his father, the confused Jia Daishan also felt the seriousness of the problem. He not only started to pay attention to the eldest son, but also put him in the Zhen family, and started to study systematically. It can be regarded as following the original basic courses.

At this time, Jia She's education problem has not been derailed for a long time. Jia She, the oldest child in the circle, still has a lot of self-esteem. Seeing that his knowledge is similar to that of his younger brothers who are so much younger than him, he may even be surpassed. , he couldn't sit still anymore, and started to make progress on his own initiative. With this kind of mentality, it is very easy to pick up his previous skills again.Coupled with the foundation he had built since he was a child, not to mention books, which are somewhat neglected by generals, but just riding and shooting, it will definitely let him regain his confidence, and no longer feel that he is useless and unlovable up.

Even after seeing how Zhen Hui treated Zhen Ji, he still had a rare introspection, and found that he didn't seem to have made any mistakes before, at least in the respect of brothers and sisters, as an older brother, he couldn't be a big brother. What should be done, it is rare to take the initiative to walk around with Jia Zheng, who has never been very fond of him. This is definitely a good historic start.

As for Jia Zheng, this child is not yet ten years old. Although under Shi's upbringing, he is somewhat self-righteous, he is still a child after all. In the past, when his father, who was very close to him, quarreled with his mother because of his own affairs, and even almost divorced his wife, he was really frightened, thinking that he had made a big mistake, and for a while, He can say that his mentality is definitely a time of sincerity and sincerity. At this time, he understood for the first time what is the order of the elders and the young, and it was also the first time he understood that this family will belong to the elder brother, not to him. He stole the big brother's treatment. Under such circumstances, he felt a little inferior.

When we arrived at Zhen's house, because Jia Daihua told Mr. Zhen about his nephew's problems in advance, and there was still some guidance that needed to be done, so Mr. Zhen was also very targeted when teaching them, like Gongshuduan's The story was even taken out and explained in detail, so that Jia Zheng fully realized the harm of regardless of age, and also understood that there are explanations about brothers in the words of the sages. As a child, he should be taught alone. Countless times, a child with the status of a sage, after hearing that even a sage said so, naturally took these as the truth.Under such circumstances, when he recalled the quarrel between his father and mother, he naturally had his own analysis of right and wrong.

His father was the object of his admiration, and his grandfather was the ancestor of the entire Rongguo Mansion. What they said was naturally reasonable, so his father was dissatisfied with his mother's neglect of his elder brother, so his grandfather taught his elder brother himself. In his opinion, that was him. My father and grandfather are following the words of the sage, which is absolutely correct.As for his mother, although he loved him very much, and he was closer emotionally, but for some reason he thought of his mother as the uncle's mother.Always feel a little embarrassed.

If in such a situation, if Jia She is really like what his mother told him in the past, he can do nothing and is a waste, then maybe he can feel better, and he can excuse his mother, thinking that this is the case. The old lady hoped that her son would become a dragon, so she was disappointed with her elder brother, so she did this.But when they arrived at Zhen's house and started to study, he could clearly feel that the eldest brother was not that unbearable. Even in riding and shooting, which was the foundation of Jia's family back then, the eldest brother was much better than him. Jia Zheng was very depressed for a while, he could no longer find a reason to convince himself, he could only admit in his heart that in fact all of this was caused by his mother's partiality.And the result of all this is beneficial to him, but it caused the eldest brother to suffer countless grievances, and even caused the whole Jia family to have a brother Xiaoqiang crisis. From this point of view, the old lady was really wrong.

Jia Zheng is not the prudish person he will be in the future, he is not the adult who uses filial piety to cover up his desire to seek the title, he is still a child who keeps right and wrong in his heart and has good intentions. Under such circumstances, when his elder brother starts to approach him After starting to care about him, although it was a little awkward to accept it, he still slowly started to approach his brother.It was also the first time that I felt the benefits of having a brother, and enjoyed the family and friendship between brothers.

Both of them began to change, and began to slowly change to a normal brotherly relationship. This is a good thing for these two children, and Jia Jing, who came to visit these two children, told Jia Daihua all this , Transferred to Jia Daishan.

It is precisely because of this that whether it is Jia Daishan or Jia Daihua, he is really grateful to Mr. Zhen, especially Jia Daishan. When he first knew all this, he was really annoyed, because His carelessness, just because of his trust in his own wife, unexpectedly let his eldest son, who once made his father, the favorite eldest son of the old Duke, suffer so many grievances, and let his beloved, little boy who loves to read, suffer so much grievance. The son has developed such a temperament that does not know the heights of the sky and the earth.At that time, if he hadn't looked at the Shi family's face, he would have beaten his daughter-in-law severely.

Fortunately, the child is still young, and there is still a possibility of breaking it. The only worry is how to break it. He is a big man. It is fine to let him lead the army to fight, but let him teach the child. It was because he felt that he could not raise children, so he entrusted all the children's affairs to his daughter-in-law at that time, and it was precisely because of this that such a thing happened. , not to mention the old lady, she doesn't know how to teach other than pampering and loving her. He really can't think of any other way.

At this time, the patriarch's cousin had a way to send the child directly to Zhen's family. There was such a learned Jinshi, Shu Jishi to teach, or to live in other people's homes and school to teach, it really solved it all at once. It's annoying him.Although because of this, the old lady was always worrying about things, which made him a little headache, but fortunately, it was worth it to solve most of the troubles with an excuse of making progress for the child.

But now, this benefit has really begun to manifest. Listening to the news from Jia Jing, Jia Dai Shanle directly drank a jar of wine one night, which is really happy. His son has finally become sensible and knows what is good or bad. As long as they continue like this, he finally doesn't have to worry. The family business he built for generations will be wiped out by the civil strife between these two brats.

It is definitely the easiest way for warriors to express their gratitude, like Jia Daishan, that is to give gifts. Ever since he knew about his child’s progress, he began to send things to Zhen’s house every now and then, although there would not be many each time, that’s all. A few things, and some of them were because he wanted to show his father's love to his son, but after a long time, it was definitely not a small amount. Because of this, Master Zhen was uneasy for a while, and even asked Jia Jing to tell him tactfully. Jia Daishan, don't give gifts so blatantly, I'm afraid the emperor will misunderstand you.

With Master Zhen's expression, Jia Daihua and Jia Daishan also realized that this was inappropriate, but wouldn't this not show his gratitude?How can it be done?As a result, Jia Jing's role was immediately manifested, not only to express his gratitude for his father and uncle every time he came to the door, but also to be a messenger from time to time, following the orders of the adults in the family Inform Jia Daihua and the others of the situation in the capital and tell Master Zhen whose foundation is too shallow to be easily fooled.This can also be regarded as their alternative way of expressing gratitude, and Master Zhen can still accept this way.

Of course, the prerequisite for this acceptance is that Jia Jing is also a scholar. As a scholar, and a scholar who is preparing to take the provincial examination, running to Zhen's house is not very noticeable, which is also the key point. Master Zhen always remembers that Zhen Hui was summoned When the emperor asked questions, he was always very careful and cautious about the difference between civil and military, and about the involvement of nobles and ordinary officials.

"It's them who know how to make progress. It's not easy for children from a family like the Jia family to be so eager to learn. They will definitely be able to make a difference in the future. Well, let's not talk about this, and let me see your homework. "

After saying these two sentences, Master Zhen quickly changed the subject and began to enter the role of Mr. At the same time, Zhen Hui also honestly hugged Zhen Ji and began to leave. It is more practical for him to go back to his own room to keep warm in winter. Porridge?Disaster relief?Thinking about it now, Dad already has an idea, and when there is Dad again, it is really not his turn to take care of the family affairs.
