[Red Chamber] I just want to be a dummy

"That's natural." Miss Wang said with her neck raised high.

"That's good," Jia Jing was waiting for Miss Wang's words.

"Let's take a look, big sister. I read a lot of story books in the bookstore there, but unfortunately I didn't bring any money with me today, and the shopkeeper said that I can't pay on credit." Jia Jing pointed to the bookstore.

The shopkeeper who just ordered the clerk to look at the bookstore and came out to join in the fun: ...

Big grievance, didn't I tell you it was free just now, you still have to keep accounts.Of course, the shopkeeper is not stupid, and he just said this in his heart.

"A kind-hearted person like my eldest sister must be reluctant that I didn't buy back my beloved book. Why don't my eldest sister pay me for the book?" Jia Jing said.

Ms. Wang never thought that Jia Jing would ask her to pay for the book, but she just let out all the words. Miss Wang weighed her purse. It was because she was going out with her brother that she brought all her private money with her. But there was nothing she could do. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, she could only help Jia Jing to pay.

"Come on, shopkeeper, tell me how much these scripts cost together?" Jia Jing blinked at the shopkeeper and said.

"Chenghui, 32 taels of silver." The shopkeeper quickly calculated a price.

"What? 32 taels? It's money grabbing." Miss Wang originally wanted to pay by herself, but she couldn't calm down after hearing the price.

Although the Wang family is very rich because of Wang Zhong's current management of shipping, they discipline their children very strictly. Her monthly silver is only two liang.

She is not subsidized by her mother like Wang Ziteng. Miss Wang has to save 32 taels for two years, how can she be happy about this.

"What is this girl talking about? Our shop has been here for more than ten years. Why do you say that we are a black shop?" Seeing that Jia Jing wanted to educate this girl, the shopkeeper naturally wanted to Helping.

These days, the price of books and paper is already high, and the price calculated by the shopkeeper did not cheat Miss Wang.

Miss Wang is not willing to pay the money now, between face and money, Miss Wang is still clear-headed, she still wants to choose money.

"I'm afraid I don't have so much money to pay you, Brother Jia." Miss Wang said with a straight face.

"Brother Ziteng just now gave 50 taels to a strange woman to bury her father. We are family friends, so you can't spend 32 taels to buy me a book?" Jia Jing put on a hurt expression.

Ms. Wang wanted to say, can these two be compared?

But Jia Jing is still pretending to be pitiful: "You don't know, sister Wang, I don't have these scriptures, and I can't sleep at night. Isn't my health going to be bad after a long time?"

Miss Wang was blocked by Jia Jing, she was so angry that tears came down, after all, she was her own sister, Wang Zisheng couldn't bear it, and said, "Let me pay."

It's okay if Wang Zisheng didn't say it, but when Wang Zisheng said it, Miss Wang immediately exploded: "I don't want your fake kindness."

"Here." Miss Wang tore off the purse hanging from her waist, threw it into Jia Jing's arms, and ran away crying.

"Brother Wang, your sister's temper is not small." Jia Jing said, weighing the purse thrown over by Miss Wang.

Wang Zisheng thought that you made people cry, are you still my sister who has a bad temper?But anyway, Jia Jing was venting his anger on himself, and Wang Zisheng naturally knew it clearly.

"Come on, shopkeeper. You can keep the money. When you meet down-and-out scholars in the future, you can use it to do good deeds." Jia Jing threw the purse to the shopkeeper and said.

"Didn't you become the companion of the eighth prince? Why is there no class in the palace today?" Wang Zisheng asked.

"Hey, it's getting late, I have to go back to the palace." Jia Jing glanced at the sky, said goodbye to Wang Zisheng in a hurry, took the words he found out, and left, and if he continued to dawdle, he said goodbye today. My son can stay outside for one night, and he can also receive a training meal.

However, Jia Jing didn't know that even if he rushed back before the palace officials gave the keys, there was bound to be a lesson waiting for him.

Originally, the Eighth and Ninth Princes were cooperating, and they asked for leave from the master of Shangshufang, so it didn't matter that Jia Jing skipped half a day of class and left the palace.

After all, the main duty of the masters in the Shangshufang is to teach the princes for the emperor, and they can listen to what they read together, and they don’t care if they don’t.Of course, the duties of accompanying readers are not mainly to study, they are also mainly here to build a good relationship with the princes.

The master of the Shangshufang still has a good impression of Jia Jing. Although the child is not very smart and does not listen to the lectures when it is time to attend, he is hardworking anyway. Anyway, every time the master sees him in class, he always "" Practicing big characters", look at the homework that Jia Jing usually handed in, the handwriting seems to be practiced for decades.

Moreover, every time there is a question in class, if Jia Jing is asked, he can answer it. I think it is a lot of effort.

So the master of Shangshufang, when he heard that the Eighth Prince asked Jia Jing for leave, saying that Jia Jing was not feeling well today and wanted to ask for a half-day leave, the master didn't think much about it.

Then ask for leave.

The master didn't think about skipping class at all.

Originally, this passed smoothly.

but! !! !!

Who would have expected that, after the emperor had finished approving the papers in the afternoon, he decided to come and see the overseer of the Shangshufang to see how his own "tutor" class was going, and test his sons by the way.

The past few days were the busy days of the previous court, and the emperor was so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground, the probability of being able to come to the Shang's study to see how his sons were studying was about one in ten thousand.

However, this one-in-[-] chance was met by Jia Jing just like that.

If it was other companions, the emperor might not be able to tell when he was away, but Jia Jing, he was the youngest son of the old Jia family, and he was also the target of their family's Xiaoba.

Even if it is out of the desire to make amends, Jia Jing should be cared more now.

The emperor wanted to relax and not have to face those troublesome memorials. By the way, he also came to see the troubled little faces of his sons when they randomly checked their homework.

Then, as soon as he stood by the window, the emperor felt that something was wrong, why was the seat next to his little eight vacant.

"Where's Jia Jing?"

"If you go back to the emperor, the Eighth Prince asked for leave on behalf of Jia Jing, saying that Jia Jing is not feeling well today." The master of Shangshufang replied.

The master was still thinking, fortunately he just asked, otherwise he would not be able to answer now.

"Ill? Have you asked the imperial doctor to see it?" At this time, the emperor simply felt that his confidant only had these two single seedlings, and he had to take good care of them. "Dai Quan, let the imperial doctor of the imperial hospital show it to Boy Jing look."

"Father, you don't need to let the imperial physician go." The eighth prince lowered his head and replied, "My son lied, Jia Jing is not sick, he has left the palace."

The eighth prince didn't dare to lie anymore, if Dai Quan was really asked to go to the imperial doctor and found that Jia Jing was not there, then they would be deceiving the emperor.

"Going out of the palace? What is Jia Jing going out of the palace for?" The emperor didn't expect Jia Jing to skip class and leave the palace under the pretext of being unwell, and asked with a sullen face.

In the emperor's impression, Jia Jing had always been a very good boy. Last time when Xiao Ba and Xiao Jiu had a quarrel outside the palace, he remembered that the Minister of Guards had said that Jia Jing had persuaded Xiao Ba and Xiao Jiu.

In the eyes of the emperor, the one who can persuade his Xiaoba is not a boy who wants to skip class.

It couldn't be provoked by Xiao Ba, an uneasy son again, the emperor suddenly had such an idea in his heart.

"Go... go..." The emperor has not issued a decree to allow the offspring of officials above the fourth rank to test for talents and raise people in Shuntian Mansion. Logically speaking, this is not something they can know. Naturally, the Eighth Prince would not dare to do this explain.

The eighth prince stammered for a long time, and his heart turned into a slap in the face, so he could only take the blame on himself: "My son wants to read the script, so I asked Jia Jing to go out and buy the script."

"Buy scripts?" The emperor never expected that the eighth prince would say that Jia Jing skipped class and left the palace to buy scripts.

Although, this reason is not very plausible, but the emperor feels that no matter how unreliable the reason is, it is reliable if it is put on his own Xiaoba and Xiaojiu.

The emperor's face was about to turn dark. Not long ago, he just made a scene with his own son in the street, causing all the servants in the Shuntian Mansion to come, and Jia Jing was blamed.

Turning around like this, my son urged Jia Jing to skip class to buy scripts.

Listening to the words of the script, the emperor felt that he had no face to see his own Jia Aiqing.

Jia Daihua has only two sons, not to mention the older one, but the younger one was raised by Lao Jia as his heir.

In the end, he forcibly issued an order, called him into the palace, and became the companion of his own Xiaoba.

You said that it would be fine if Jia Jingzhen learned something in Shangshufang, but what did Jia Jing learn in Shangshufang?Learned to skip class with my careless Xiaoba! ! !

Those who didn't know, thought that he, the emperor, couldn't tolerate Jia Daihua, who had made great contributions, and planned to raise and abolish the heir of the family.

"Punishment, you must be punished. Xiaoba, you and Jia Jing dare to lie and skip class at a young age. You must be punished. I will punish you for writing three hundred big characters." The emperor blackened his face and wanted to punish the eighth prince and Jia Jing.

Then, I suddenly remembered that I seemed to have punished these careless big characters not long ago?

"By the way, what about the ones you punished before?" The emperor began to turn over old things at this time.

The eighth prince didn't panic, he and Xiao Jiu finished writing his three hundred big characters, and even Jia Jing's three hundred.

"My son and Jia Jing have finished writing, and now they are in my son's study." The eighth prince said confidently, "Son, let Chang Xi get it now?"

"Well, let's go."

Although the eighth prince's yard is a bit far from Shang's study, it didn't take much time for Chang Xi to trot back and forth.

The emperor looked at the big characters with clear handwriting, and nodded in satisfaction. Fortunately, these boys are quite well-behaved.

But, looking at it, the emperor could see that something was wrong...
