Red Mansion: No Empty House Fight

Jia Zhu took a few deep breaths, tidied up her wrinkled sleeves from raising her hands, and looked at Jiang Zining through her nostrils, "I don't know what that means, little boy with a yellow mouth!" with a look of "I don't know as much as you".

"..." Jiang Ziyao couldn't help biting his teeth.I couldn't help complaining about Jia Zhu, you said you looked fifteen or sixteen years old, how could you be so enthusiastic with our group of Meng children who were not ten years old?

"Master Zhu, don't be angry. My brother is young and speaks straight. Please take care of yourself." Feng Ziying saw that the atmosphere was deadlocked, and hurried up to smooth things over.But the meaning behind the words is that my brother is telling the truth, if you care about it, you are narrow-minded.

I don't know how Jia's family raised Jia Zhu. He just heard the phrase "Take care of me" and thought that the other party had given in.So he thought it was a very deep "hmm", and didn't even look at Jiang Zining's sideways.This posture was waiting for Jiang Zining to formally salute and apologize.

Jia Zhu's action directly forced Feng Ziying back.Never seen such a weird thing!According to the routine in the circle, Jia Zhu should either forgive or leave at this time.Even if he just walks away, it can be regarded as overturning the matter.It's not a big hatred, as for forcing others to apologize?He doesn't care what he loves!

Once Feng Ziying withdrew his hand, naturally no one else cared.The dozen or so people in the pre-school class were silent, while Jin Feng turned his head sideways and concentrated on studying the patterns on the screen wall a dozen steps away from him.It's just that everyone focused on waiting for Jiang Zining's response.

Under such circumstances, Jiang Ziyao just wanted to apologize for Jiang Zining and make the matter a minor one, but Shi Guangzhu held him back.Just as Jiang Ziyao was about to break free, Shi Guangzhu winked at him, motioning him to look at Jiang Zining.Jiang Ziyao just took a look at Jiang Zining, and found that Jiang Zining had scanned everyone's movements and expressions, so he smiled and turned to Jia Zhu with a malicious look on his face.

"I heard that your father is the second master of the Rongguo Mansion, the fifth-rank member of the Ministry of Industry, Mr. Jia Zheng, but?"

Jia Zhu listened, and squinted at Jiang Zining: "Exactly."

Jiang Zining just laughed: "Master Zhu must have donated to the prison to enroll?"

When Jiang Zining said this, Feng Ziying already guessed what Jiang Zining was going to say, and quickly poked Shi Guangzhu beside him.Shi Guangzhu said knowingly: "Yu Lu, you don't know that Uncle Zhu entered the Imperial College with the favor of the first-class general, Mr. Jia She."

"Ah, General Jia is really generous. He treats a subordinate clan member so wholeheartedly. He actually gave the clansman the only one who is favored." Jiang Zining's admiration made Jin Feng hold back a smile.

Jia Zhu himself blushed again because of such a sentence: "What nonsense are you talking about? My father is the direct descendant of Rongguo Mansion! I am also the eldest grandson of Rongguo Mansion!"

"If your father is a direct descendant of Rongguo Mansion, then what is General Jia? If you are the eldest grandson of Rongguo Mansion, then what is General Jia's young son Hu?" Jiang Zining asked with his head tilted, "I don't quite understand." , please explain" expression. "I heard that your father is now living in the Rongxi Hall, and even sent General Jia to live in the East Courtyard. The Lingtang is also the center that presides over the entire Rongguo Mansion. Those who know are General Jia's generosity and filial piety. Those who don't know will only think that your father It's nothing to do with Lingtang."

"That was the old lady's order to ask my father to be filial nearby! My uncle also agreed." Jia Zhu quickly argued.To say that this incident happened not long after his grandfather passed away, his father had lived in Rongxi Hall for more than ten years, and he had already gotten used to it.Now someone suddenly said that this was "shapeless", Jia Zhu was naturally furious.

"Oh, so General Jia is filial and kind. In order to be filial to his mother, he even disregarded the laws of the country. In order to be considerate to his brothers, he gave the house he should live in to his younger brother and his sister-in-law. The quota of kindness belonging to his own son was given to the collateral." No matter how many times Jia Zhu wanted to interrupt Jiang Zining, he just said to himself, "It's just that there is such a patriarch, why don't you, a nephew, know how to be grateful? What about your father? Without any excuses, he just lived in a courtyard that only Xijue can live in? No wonder he has only been promoted by half a rank after more than ten years. That’s right, how can a person who is not filial or fraternal and has lost moral character be an official? What about the high position?"

"My father lived in Rongxi Hall to fulfill his filial piety! It was the old lady who asked my father to be filial nearby!" Because of Jiang Zining's words, Jia Zhu had to repeat what she had just said to emphasize that Jia Zheng is filial.It's just because the emotion is too excited, the words that are shouted have a broken sound.This also suddenly attracted the attention of the students who came and went, and made people stop and watch.

"Your old lady is really powerful. One sentence is bigger than the law of the country! And what she said made the men of her own family have to obey! This kind of behavior," Jiang Zining paused, his tone immediately became sharp, "Chicken Secretary Morning! The beginning of chaos!"

Feng Ziying covered her face in the crowd: He was so naive just now.Originally thought that Jiang Zining would just bombard the Rongguo Mansion for its unruly behavior and shame Jia Zhu, but now he has nothing to do with the "Three Cardinal Guidelines and Five Constant Principles"!What's more, it used the allusions of women stealing power and disrupting government in "Shangshu".This time things must be a big mess!He still thinks about how to go back and talk to his father, after all, he is also one of the parties today.

"And you have to be filial nearby. I heard that the Rongqing Hall where your old lady lives is quite big. Couldn't there be two people living in your father's hall? Not to mention that the master of a family like ours doesn't have eleven or twelve maids to serve him. You're still filial!" The tone of the previous sentence was extremely sharp, but when he said this sentence, he immediately acted foolishly.It's just that the impoliteness in the content of the words has not diminished at all. "Isn't your father flattering you and obediently, making relatives unrighteous? Isn't it unfilial and unfraternal? It's really good manners for Lingtang to intervene in the internal affairs of the uncle's family without shy away from gossip!"

Seeing more and more people around, and most of them have completed the content before and after by word of mouth, Jiang Zining felt that this face-slapping should almost be over, so he stepped forward a few steps and stood in the distance. Jia Zhu took a step away: "You can know your children by observing the behavior of your parents, and it can be seen from the fact that Uncle Zhu used his cousin's kindness as a matter of course. It can be seen that Uncle Zhu is also... tsk tsk." Although he didn't say it, he smacked his lips And the behavior of shaking his head clearly expressed Jiang Zining's unfinished meaning.

"A moment ago, I just thought that Uncle Zhu was just the son of a fifth-rank member, the son of a foreigner, who shouldn't be arrogant. However, he just made a louder voice when communicating with his classmates, but Uncle Zhu insisted on asking me to be alone. The eight-year-old child apologizes to you. You must know that a gentleman should not listen to injustice." Jiang Zining glanced around and found the figures of the court officials from far and near, "But something said something that made Master Zhu uncomfortable, so I apologize here I just hope that Master Zhu will forgive me for the sake of my young age and straight-talking." He bowed to the end.

Jia Zhu was so angry that the last of her sanity was burned out, how could she calm down just because of Jiang Zining's bow!It is said that beating people does not slap people in the face, but Jiang Zining turned over the face of his family and threw it on the ground and stomped hard!If he just forgave Jiang Zining like this, wouldn't anyone be able to step on him in the future?

Thinking like this, Jia Zhu raised her foot and kicked Jiang Zining with red eyes.

"Stop!" Several courtyards shouted angrily as they watched Jia Zhu raise his foot to kick a student who was only as tall as his waist.It's just that Jia Zhu couldn't hear the shouts of others at this time.Even if he heard it, he couldn't take back the force he had kicked out.

Seeing that the kick was about to fall on Jiang Zining, Jin Feng, who was closest to the two of them, rushed over and squatted down, wrapped one hand around Jiang Zining's straightened waist, and with the other hand used his arm to resist Jia Zhu's kick.

Under the reaction force, Jia Zhu fell backwards with a "touch" and fell heavily to the ground.And the leg kicking towards Jiang Zining also lost his intuition at this time.

Seeing Jia Zhu fell to the ground, Jin Feng got up and took a good look at Jiang Zining.This matter started because of him in the first place, if it hurts someone who has nothing to do with it, it would be a big mistake.

"Are you okay?" Jiang Zining stared at Jia Zhu with wide eyes, then turned his head to look at Jin Feng's forearm, with an expression on his face that wanted to check but was afraid of hurting Jin Feng.

Jin Feng pursed his lips to suppress his smile, put his arm in front of Jiang Zining, and lifted the sleeve to reveal the metal armguard inside: "I have this, I didn't hurt it." And worn on the body.Although it is heavy, it can be compared to armor when it takes on normal strength.

"It's just nonsense!" Several principals and PhD students entered the circle surrounded by people. "what is going on?"

"I was returning home with the teachers, students, and Jiang Zining and Jiang Ziyao, who just entered school today, and returned home with the Shizi after class. When we arrived at the door, we met Master Zhu. Because the Jiang brothers didn't know Master Zhu, and they didn't know why. Uncle Zhu can control the son's homework, so I explained it." Feng Ziying, as a representative of the elementary school class, stepped forward to answer, "Jiang Zining replied with a slightly higher voice and said something that was not pleasant to Uncle Zhu, so Uncle Zhu got angry. I want Jiang Zining to apologize..."

"The student apologized in the end! It just seems that Master Zhu is not satisfied with the student's apology." Seeing that Feng Ziying couldn't tell what the next few people were arguing about, Jiang Zining immediately spoke up.

"You! You! You insulted your parents!" Jia Zhu immediately became hysterical again after hearing Feng Ziying and Jiang Zining's narration.

"Uncle Zhu, what I'm telling is the truth. Your father is living in (accent) Rongxi Hall! The Lingtang is in charge of the uncle's family! The old lady of your mansion is indeed a rooster. All the sons listen to her! The censors of the Manchu Dynasty just looked at General Jia's filial piety, so they didn't hear about it. It's just the truth that he never insulted his father's court!" Jiang Zining was confident.I poked your heart and beat your trachea, but what I said is the truth!I'm an honest boy!

"Enough!" After listening to Jiang Zining's words, Yuanzheng and Dr. Kandu finally understood.In the past, I hadn't inquired about the affairs of Rongguo Mansion in detail, so I still had a good impression of this noble student, who was a student who was eager to learn and motivated.It's just Jia Zhu's performance today—narrow-minded, unrepentant when he knows his mistakes, clever refutations, and beating his classmates, and he even manages the prince of Xining County without knowing how to advance or retreat.

"Jiang Zining has no words, copied "The Doctrine of the Mean" five times, and handed it over to your lecturer on the first day of next month. Jia Zhu will be banned from class for ten days. Let's leave!"

It's only the beginning of the month now.Asking Jiang Zining to copy a book of less than [-] words five times in a month basically meant "you didn't make any big mistakes".The reason why Jiang Zining was asked to copy "The Doctrine of the Mean" instead of others was that he hoped that Jiang Zining would not be too sharp in his dealings with others.To put it simply, the director and the doctoral students hoped that he could grind his temper.This is also their way of expressing their good intentions of "I see you pleasing to the eye and hope you can go further" - if it weren't for Jiang Zining, they would all think Jia Zhu is a good bird.

In the outer study of the Pingyuan Hou Mansion, the old Hou Ye finally waited for his two grandsons.When Jiang Zining and Jiang Ziyao returned home from school, they greeted the old man first, and then told the old man about their experience in the Imperial College today.

After the two people finished talking, the old Hou Ye stared with tiger eyes: "The two generals were tiger generals back then! How come the latter ones are so bad?"

"Grandfather, Yulu knows that you still have feelings for the two princes. But Rongning and Ningfu are no longer what they used to be! You can't go to other people's homes to be the masters of others!"

"You're right." Old Hou Ye still sighed and put aside the affairs of the Jia family. "Today is the first day of school, do you two have plans for your future?"

"Just like my grandfather taught me, my two brothers really have some ideas today." Jiang Zining poked Jiang Ziyao, motioning Jiang Ziyao to tell what they were thinking in the car when they drove home.

"Grandfather told me yesterday that the Marquis is still stable because the emperor is still alive. Once the emperor returns to the west, the honorable family can only live with their heads back." Jiang Ziyao summed up what the old master said to himself and Jiang Zining yesterday, " And my brother and I communicated with our classmates today, guessing that although we intend to take back the military power today, we just have useless generals to lead the army. Therefore, it is not necessary for my Marquis of Pingyuan to stay away from the military power."

Old Hou Ye nodded, affirming the guess of the two brothers.

"Therefore, although the Hou Mansion needs Wu Zhuanwen, it can still retain a certain amount of military power. Because the eldest brother's great-aunt, the Empress Dowager Bai, is still alive, and your majesty has a relationship with the first eldest aunt, so the eldest brother can be Today, I trust to inherit the military power of my grandfather. Although I still have to return it to the royal family in the end, it can buy time for my Pingyuan Houfu to change from Wu to Wen. In the future, my third brother and I can enter the imperial examination. Although we cannot contact the six departments for the time being The Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of War, in order to prevent collusion between civil and military forces today, but they can accumulate a certain amount of connections in Qingliu to succeed."

"Well——" Old Hou Ye really nodded this time with a long tone, with a look of relief on his face, "Sure enough, he is much better than your father, and he can see the situation clearly in just one day, and he can still take care of the whole family." Big picture."

Jiang Ziyao blushed brightly after being praised.Although most of them were thought up by Jiang Zining, he still felt a sense of accomplishment when he was able to describe them clearly.

"Just one thing, I'm afraid that my father, second uncle and third uncle will feel dissatisfied because they are excluded. In the future, if filial piety is suppressed, my second brother and I will inevitably be bound." Jiang Zining did not forget that his father had a concubine Blowing the pillow wind at any time, and Jiang Zixing who will make himself blocked by the cliff.

"Things that can't be supported by mud! I arranged them well! It turns out that they are still the same virtue after ten years of age! You don't have to worry, there is a grandfather!" The old Hou thought of his three useless sons, and Looking at the two grandsons who are still very young and behave well, the balance in their hearts is naturally tilted.

"Okay, go back and do your homework! Remember to go to your grandmother's place to say hello, and talk to your third brother!" Old Hou Ye waved his hand, indicating that the two grandsons can leave.Jiang Zining and Jiang Ziyao bowed again before leaving the study.

"Brother, grandfather really didn't say that he would send a gift to Rongguo Mansion to make amends!" Jiang Ziyao said in surprise when he was some distance away from the study.When we were in the car before, Jiang Zining said that his grandfather would not send gifts to Rongguo Mansion, but Jiang Ziyao didn't quite believe it.Now he was surprised by Jiang Zining's insight.

"Learn more!" Jiang Zining tapped Jiang Ziyao lightly.Because Jiang Ziyao is the only one in his family who is similar in age and status, Jiang Zining has always been able to play well with him.During the three years of mourning, I would visit Jiang Zining two or three times a month.So Jiang Zining was happy to get close to him.

"The reason why my grandfather didn't give me a present to make amends is because Jia Zhu didn't suffer any substantial loss in the dispute with me; secondly, I'm afraid my grandfather would like to use this to make friends with General Jia. After all, my grandfather still has old feelings in his heart. .” Jiang Zining frowned while speculating, not knowing what would happen if he really reconnected with the Jia family.

Then I thought about the prince of Xining County who didn't know if his father would rebel in the future or if he himself would go to war to rebel.Although Jia Zhu is just a physical waste who will be exhausted because of the nine-day spring, he is also a person who is close to the physical strength of an adult.If it weren't for Jin Feng today, I'm afraid I would suffer pain in the skin and flesh in the slightest, and injure my heart in severe cases.

Should I meddle in the affairs of the Xining family?Jiang Zining felt that if he just pretended that this was not the case, he would not be very moral.But if you just intervene directly like this, I'm afraid that I will be involved.In the end, Jiang Zining decided to treat Jin Feng as a good friend for the time being.Anyway, there are still more than ten years before their rebellion!

The next day at school, Feng Ziying patted Jiang Zining on the shoulder before class: "You have such a mouth! I heard that today there are really rumors about the censor, saying that Yuanwailang Jia Zheng stole the main hall of the government, and that the old lady of the Jia family and the Wang family did not obey. Women's virtues. Your Majesty ordered the Rongguo Mansion to bring order out of chaos, and the Empress also issued an order to let the old lady of the Jia family and the Wang family enter the quiet room to copy the rules for female precepts."

"Your news is fast enough! Just go down now, you will know!" Jiang Zining sighed.

"That's right! I told my father last night that someone must be talking about the Jia family's affairs today. I also specially greeted the coachman who accompanied my father, and listened more to the other people in the carriage. How do you say it. No, I let my kid run around, and I will know everything." Feng Ziying looked at Jiang Zining and felt that she was planning for a rainy day.

"Brother Feng is really planning a strategy!" Jiang Zining complimented Feng Ziying.

"By the way, Master Shizi said don't leave after school today, let's go to Taibailou to have a meal for you and Ziyao to welcome the newcomers. By the way, introduce some people from Class B to you two."

"Being respectful is worse than obeying orders!" Jiang Zining agreed without being polite at all.This refreshment made Feng Ziying feel particularly pleasing to the eye, and immediately went to Class B to pass the word happily.

Turning his head, Jiang Zining saw Jiang Ziyao's expression of anticipation and uneasiness, and imitated Feng Ziying's way of patting Jiang Ziyao's shoulder: "It is necessary to know how to deal with people, drink and socialize! Get to know more people and see how they handle things It's good too."

After thinking for a while, he said: "Alcohol hurts the mind, it's better to drink less. We are young so we won't be forced to drink, but we can stop drinking until we are 15 years old. I will ask someone to get some milk later. Let's drink it before we go to the banquet."

After saying a word, Jiang Ziyao's complexion became bad.In the past few years, I don't know what kind of wind this big brother has been smoking. He must drink two glasses of milk every day.For this reason, my grandmother specially brought back a few yellow cattle, milked them every day, and picked the thickest and most fragrant ones to send to Jiang Zining.Although he loves snacks made with milk, he can't accept drinking milk directly.But since the elder brother has spoken, he has to drink if he drinks, and he has to drink if he doesn't drink!

Originally, Jiang Zining and Jiang Ziyao had made all the preparations, left get out of class on time and walked out of the Imperial College to attend the appointment.Naturally, Feng Ziying went to Taibai Tower first in a hurry.The two brothers, together with Shi Guangzhu, Qiu Liang and others, left the gate of the Imperial College, and immediately there were two men dressed as servants leading a dozen boys to salute at the gate: "But Mr. Jiang Zining and Mr. Jiang Ziyao from Pingyuanhou's residence? "

"It's just the two of us, what's the matter?" Jiang Zining saw that although the other party was acting inappropriately, he was putting on a smiling attitude and respectful gestures, and there was no malice, so he replied.

"That's right! Our master is hosting a banquet in Taibai Tower, and we want to invite the two young masters to talk about it."

"I appreciate the kindness of the master of your house. It's just that my two brothers already have an appointment today, why don't we come to visit another day?"

"Then offend!" The visitor picked up Jiang Zining and Jiang Ziyao one by one, turned around and ran, explaining again and again as he ran, "Our master said that if the two young masters don't agree, just take you two directly. There is no such thing as another day or another day! Choosing a day is worse than bumping into it, and today is the best day!"
