Ai Ruo's life in the red mansion

"It's not interesting to pass the exam. I told my wife that people like us don't have to compete with poor students for a place. Letting you take the exam is just to see the world and get acquainted with the world. Now You are also transparent. Be a rich man. It’s okay. Take me and the children out to visit mountains and rivers and broaden our knowledge. I don’t want to raise a waste. No matter whether I take the exam or not in the future, I’ll be honest and useful This is the most important thing, what do you think?" Ai Ruo thought about it.

These are not all words of comfort to Jia Zheng, that day in the Ning Mansion, socializing with the wives of officials, Ai Ruo really felt that it was a wrong decision to let Jia Zheng take the exam and become an official.Now they are living a good life. Anyway, Jia She is doing a good job as an official. In the future, with his protection, Jia Zheng can do nothing. After all, as many mistakes as there are mistakes.Also, if they really become officials and let them get money, maybe Jia Zheng is better than her. It really can't be done, and in the end, they don't earn enough to give gifts.Besides, if he does not become an official, his daughter will naturally not be eligible to enter the palace. It is an honor to be a concubine!So not being an official really has the advantage of not being an official.

Jia Yuan nodded heavily, not knowing what she was messing with.Seeing her younger sister nodding, Jia Zhu saw her mother's seriousness. Thinking about going out for a tour, she became very fascinated, "Father, don't take the exam, let's go to Jinling! Brother Kuan said, Jinling is really fun."

"Hurry up!" Ai Ruo was about to faint, why couldn't Jia Zhu learn something better?Where did the boy who talked about family difficulties go?It's only been a few days, and I've become a fool.Is now the time to talk about playing?I was so angry that I felt like I was taking care of one, two, and three children!

Jia Zheng stayed in the upper room at night, not because he really wanted to.Now read every day.Analyzing the character of the examiner and thinking about his viewpoints when writing essays made Jia Zheng really exhausted every day.So, as Lu Buqun said, things in the world.Kung Fu has always been outside the play.How many talented people are blocked from this single-plank bridge, not because they are not talented enough, but because they don't know how to let go of themselves.

Some are admitted by luck.But the country uses this test to promote talents for the country, and the test is not about articles, but other things.Why are all the people in the middle?It's not that the examiners don't wink, but that they are acting out of temper.The most undesirable thing in the court is the generation who rely on their talents and pride.At any time, what is needed is a kind of mellowness.Transparency, or compromise.

He really felt that he was really an idiot in the first 20 years. He didn't read to the point. It turned out that he didn't understand many things.Look at the road is not group.When he talked about the wise men, he was not talking about himself.So I actually entrusted myself with Lu Buqun's dream?But think about it, just now Ai Ruo talked about the sparkling eyes of traveling in mountains and rivers, that should also be his wife's dream, right?For a moment, Jia Zheng felt that he was a little tangled up, what should he do?

After Daihua's funeral, Jia Zheng occasionally lingered, and their relationship was actually improving.Ai Ruo can sometimes make friends with him.Sometimes I can't help but treat him as my own.So, sometimes Ai Ruo didn't rush, and threw him a quilt, and the two of them lay side by side, talking.

Gradually, she was able to calm down.Sometimes Ai Ruo feels as if she has become weaker.I don't know if it's because of the child. Sometimes when Jia Zheng hugs the child and loves the child's child, she will have the illusion that Jia Zheng might let her rely on him for a while.Maybe not as good as her husband, but sometimes she really feels tired.

"We may be inseparable." Jia Zheng said softly while lying down.

"What?" Ai Ruo didn't expect Jia Zheng to stay today to say this.

"Mr. Lu asked the master to withdraw from the imperial court. As long as I pass the examination of Juren, it will be very easy for me to pass the Jinshi test. The second list of Jinshi, entering the Imperial Academy, starting from the sixth rank, the future will be very good." Jia Zheng said lightly. Tell Ai Ruo Lu Buqun's analysis.

When he said it at this time, he was actually a little distressed.He doesn't like relying on his father very much, but without a father, how can he be better than Lu Buqun?Why did Lu Buqun fail the exam, but he was able to rise to the top?Apart from the fact that Lu Buqun is a bit unruly, the more reason is that he doesn't have a good father!If Lu Buqun was also born in a duke's mansion, then he would not be called Unruly, but a celebrity demeanor.

Therefore, things in this world are not fair at all. If you say you don't want to fight for a seat with the poor, no one will fight if you can.It's just to make myself feel better and to show disdain. They are born N miles ahead of the poor!

"Do you want to be an official?" Ai Ruo had already thought about it, but he didn't expect that Lu Buqun would tell Jia Zheng so directly. I have worked very hard, but I told him, stupid guy, as long as you have a normal IQ, you don't have to work so hard at all.Your road, your father has paved it for you.Everyone will find this ugly!But Lu Buqun said it, maybe it wasn't a bad thing, at least Jia Zheng didn't look as stupid as he was during the day. Obviously, he started to change.

"You don't want me to be an official? Don't you want to be tax-free?" Jia Zheng faced her sideways, his eyes sparkling.

"Actually, I'm very afraid of boredom. You don't know. I'm very bored when I socialize with those noble ladies. I want to read books at home and raise children. If I have time to go to the mountains and rivers, I hope Pearl Have a very open-minded heart. Don't be like Uncle Jing in Ning Mansion, who is full of inappropriateness; but I also hope that Yuan'er can marry well. Your status is higher, your family background is better, and Yuan'er has more choices. Look Seeing that my aunt and grandma are getting married, they are about to become enemies. As for you, you are too honest, even if you have Mr. Lu to help, in fact, there is no banquet in the world that lasts. What if he is not here, what shall we do?" Ai Ruochang Long sighed.

She is really telling the truth, no matter which dynasty or generation she is in, she is not tired of doing things, but tired of contacting people.So she felt that it was already very annoying to socialize with Jia Mu every day, and that she would have to socialize with the wives of officials at all levels in the future, which was the only way in her life.Let her die.But yes, death is so easy, she would not come here.So if you can't die, live well.Placing his hands on his head, he tried hard to think, with Jia Zheng's personality, what could he do?

The Ministry of Industry must fail, as it is said in the book, he has been in the Ministry of Industry for 20 years, and he has never been promoted to the first level.Obviously that job is not suitable for him; he likes to keep clean customers, likes to chat with scholars, to be a scholar, maybe it is good to be a valuable clean stream.There is no such thing as studying politics, the responsibility is too great.But to be a dignified Hanlin, to study books, or simply go to the Imperial College to teach, it is also good to go to Lantai Temple. Lantai Temple is said to be Yushitai, but in fact Lantai Temple’s correct reputation is the National Library, which manages the whole country. How meaningful it is to collect and sort out the classics, and it won't make people jealous, and it won't cause official trouble!

"Do you think there is a place where you only do learning and don't ask about court affairs? Like the Imperial College, you should be able to teach. You study hard, and you get a reputation based on your ability. You don't want to rely on the master to get high officials and rich salary. Big brother is honest. As for the actual work, how about you teach in a safe and sound manner, and we don’t care about the outside things?" Ai Ruo said, looking at Jia Zheng seriously.She is a woman, if she talks too much, Jia Zheng will doubt it for nothing, so she only talked about the direction of teaching. Anyway, I am used to it now, pointing to a general direction. At that time, Jia Zheng will fine-tune it according to needs, and finally He was quite clever in finding the best way.

She was really discussing with Jia Zheng. This was the first time she had come to this place, and she was discussing with Jia Zheng as her husband and her reliance.

"I'm afraid I don't have enough knowledge." Jia Zheng was a little shy, but he was still very happy. In the eyes of his wife, he actually had many advantages.

"You are still so young, and your knowledge is accumulated over time. When you go to the Hanlin Academy, there are all learned people there. Learn from others. You don't want to be a man of the world, but go to learn. I think you can do it. ” Ai Ruo thought about it seriously, and felt that Jia Zheng might not be quick enough, but he did have hard work.What is lacking is that he is not enlightened, and now he is considered enlightened. With the guidance of a sensible person, as long as he is sure of the path he will take in the future, he will never return to the path of that fool in the red building.

"It's actually quite difficult with our family background. Maybe it's best to be educated." Jia Zheng nodded, but looked at Ai Ruo, a little embarrassed, "But academics are clean, and the salary may not be able to support the family."

"Our family has four dishes and one soup, you must be able to afford it." Ai Ruo smiled, feeling that Jia Zheng thought at this time that he wanted to support his family, which made Ai Ruo very happy.At least this guy finally has a sense of responsibility, he has to support his family, he has to be responsible to his wife and children.She didn't tell him that he didn't need him to support the family, and she wanted to encourage this sense of responsibility to continue to flourish.

Jia Zheng also laughed. For the first time, he saw Ai Ruo's reassuring smile, and he felt relieved all of a sudden, and gently held Ai Ruo's hand.Four dishes and one soup, the life of an ordinary family, so he can study with peace of mind, and be a person that his children and wife can look up to with peace of mind?

Ai Ruo didn't break free, and neither of them took any further steps, probably because they felt that at this moment, it might be good just like this.

Jia Zheng closed his eyes, and Ai Ruo also slowly closed them.

That night, Ai Ruo had no dreams. When she woke up in the morning, Jia Zheng was no longer there. She touched the quilt outside lightly, and there was still warmth. It was obvious that she had just woken up.

"Who's outside." Ai Ruo called out.

Soon, Jixiang came in, opened the curtain, and said with a sweet smile, "How is grandma?"

"Where's Grandpa?"

"I'm playing with Uncle Zhu in the courtyard. Uncle Zhu woke up early today. I was afraid of disturbing Grandma's dream, so I went out with him."

"Has Pearl come in?"

"Yes, it's rare for grandma to sleep soundly, so I hurriedly got someone to carry her out." Ji Xiang said crisply.

Ai Ruo stroked her forehead, but she didn't hear anything, it seemed that she really fell into a deep sleep.She almost forgot how long she hadn't slept so deeply.Is it just because you feel that there is someone you can rely on?
