[Red Chamber] I just want to be a dummy

So when he heard that Jia amnesty had passed the county examination, Jia Zheng almost bled out of his old blood. In addition, Jia Zheng was still young, and Jia Zheng couldn't do those superficial skills, Jia Zheng's expression suddenly became ugly.

The yamen servants usually don't have much chance to come to such a high-ranking family, so it is inevitable that they are a little restrained. In addition, they are not all human beings like the boys in Rongguo Mansion. I can know that the second master is unhappy.

The yamen servants didn't dare to look at Jia Zheng's face, and naturally they didn't know that Jia Zheng was unhappy, so they didn't leave as tremblingly as Jia Zheng thought.

"Since you have already reported it, you should leave quickly." Jia Zheng saw that the group of yamen servants didn't look at him at all, and they were still standing at the door like Tie Hanhan, as if they were watching his jokes. Jia Zheng's attitude was naturally not good. Get up, and said angrily.

"No... No reward?" One of the yamen servants stammered.

It shouldn't be, even if you go to the farmer's house in the village to announce the good news, if the family is really poor, you have to show your family background when you encounter such a happy event. Does Rongguo Mansion not give you a penny for such a big family? ?

The yamen servant only thought that the little brother in front of him didn't know the rules, so he asked such a question.

Jia Zheng's face was so gloomy that he was about to drip water, but he couldn't say on the spot that he didn't want Jia Amnesty to pass the exam, so he could only take off his purse and throw it to the yamen servants.

Jia Zheng comforted himself there, thinking that he was dismissing the beggar.

But the yamen servants who just passed by after reporting the happy news next door clamored to open their purses to see how much money they had in the two mansions.

Jia Daihua at the Ningguo Mansion was almost insanely happy, wishing he could give a silver brick to each of the yamen servants who came to announce the good news on the spot.

So the rewards given are naturally very generous.

And Jia Zheng is just an immature man. Although he is loved by Shi Shi, he has never lacked anything, but because he has to go to school, Shi Shi is also afraid that he will fail to learn outside, so he never gives much money. .

Jia Zheng's purse only contained two taels of silver.

In normal times, two liang of silver is enough for an ordinary farmer to live for a year, and the government servants are already happy enough to get such rewards.

But this time was different, not to mention that they came all the way from the counties on the outskirts of Beijing to the capital, they naturally wanted to get more rewards.

They said that they came together, and another group of people whispered that each of them took ten taels of silver, while the four of them only had two taels of silver. This gap...

At that moment, someone murmured in a low voice: "This is too little."

"Shhh, I guess the second master of Rongguo Mansion has a bad relationship with his elder brother. I'm not happy to see Uncle She passed the exam."

"Hey, I consider myself unlucky."

It's a pity that Jia Zheng has sharp ears and eyes, and Jia Zheng can hear these mutterings clearly. .

Although Jia Zheng is young, he has the best face. It is a fact that he does not like his elder brother, and it is also a fact that he does not want Jia Jing to pass the exam. However, he has always portrayed a good younger brother who can tolerate his elder brother's mischief. When he said it out, Jia Zheng still couldn't hold back his face.

"Just now I rewarded you to buy tea, Zhou Rui, you bastard, I didn't hear that my elder brother passed the county test, why don't you hurry up and get the money." Jia Zheng said desperately.

The yamen servants were busy for money, and after hearing this, they didn't care about the secrets of the big family, they just thought they were rich, and they all happily waited for the reward.

Zhou Rui was also a fool that time. Jia Zheng asked him to get the money. He only thought that he was going to get Jia Zheng's private money. He didn't go to the accountant to pay the money. The big maid gave him money.

When Zhou Rui came over with the purse, Jia Zheng saw that the purse was not the plain purse used by the accountant, but the purse made by the maid in his own room, his face turned pale with anger.But he still had to endure his distress and distribute the purse to the yamen servants.

As soon as the yamen servants left, Jia Zheng became ill with anger.

It's not the kind of pretending to be sick, but really sick from anger, or the kind of sickness that has to lie in bed.

This made Shi very anxious, and he didn't care about fighting with Jia Daishan's two concubines at the moment, so he hurriedly asked Jia Zhengyan's doctor for medicine, and even the imperial doctor Wang was invited twice.

But no matter whether it was a famous doctor in the pharmacy or the imperial doctor Wang, they all said that Jia Zheng was angry in his heart.

Shi knew very well in her heart that her eldest son had never been close to her and had always been generous, if she lived with Jia She in the future, then she would definitely not be like her mother-in-law to be the pinnacle of the Rongguo Mansion's pagoda.

Only by allowing Jia Zheng to inherit the position of Rong Guogong, then with Jia Zheng's self-centered temperament, he can be the pinnacle of the Rong Guo Mansion in the future and hold all the power in his hands.

Therefore, whether it is for his beloved son or for his own interests, Shi Shi has to focus on Jia Zheng.

Jia Zheng was depressed, and Shi Shi understood Jia Zheng's depression as soon as he heard it.

"Zheng'er, don't worry, mother will ask your uncle to invite you a famous teacher. With a famous teacher to teach you, you will definitely be the first in the next exam." Shi promised.

Only by letting Jia Zheng do better than Jia Amnesty in the exam can Jia Zheng's depression be removed, and Jia Zheng can be much better than Jia Amnesty in the eyes of the old Jia family, and can have more success than Jia Amnesty in inheriting the title. Advantage

As for poisoning Jia She to death, Shi Shi was not as courageous as Mrs. Wang, and she still had a little bit of mother-child affection for Jia She.

What's more, Mrs. Wang's lessons from the past are there, and Shi's dare not do such a thing.

But Shi Hou and his wife are going crazy. As I said earlier, the Jia family can't find a famous teacher, let alone a historian who is worse than the Jia family?

To put it bluntly, Shihou just has a title for nothing now, so what ability is there to find a teacher who can carve rotten wood into treasures?

It happened that Shi's side was still pressing.

Shi Hou didn't dare to fool the Shi family like before, after all, there was already a joke in the Shi family.If something goes wrong again, then the girls of the historian family will not have to live.

Mrs. Shi Hou really couldn't figure out what happened to the daughters of the Shi family?Could it be that a son who grew up beside his mother-in-law is not his own son?

Why do you have to fight with your own son?Could it be that the boss inherits the title and bears the name of being unfilial?

Shi waited and waited, but when she couldn't get a response from her natal family, she thought of Jia Daishan's concubine daughters.

Jia Daishan's three concubine daughters were several years older than Jia She, and girls married earlier than boys.

These three prostitutes have also reached the age of marriage.

For a concubine like this, the marriage is basically decided by the mistress, especially Jia Daishan who doesn't care about concubines at all.

Shi Shi didn't want it to come out of his belly before, not to mention the existence of these concubines' aunts back then was considered a stain on Shi Shi.

But if it can bring benefits to him now, then Shi Shi is naturally willing to marry him off.

Although they had only passed the county examination and were not even a child, looking at the Jia family, who was born as a military general and had never been a scholar in eight generations, it was a great joy for Jia Fu and Jia Shen to pass the county examination.

Because the government examination will be held soon, and I am afraid that others will laugh at the Jia family's mud legs, so it is not easy to celebrate.

But it is still necessary for the family to get together for a meal.

Shi and Jia Zheng, who had just recovered from a serious illness, refused to participate in this kind of banquet celebrating the enemy.But since Jia Daishan, the head of the family, said it, they had no room to refute.I had to come unwillingly.

Jia Zheng thought that he was celebrating his elder brother who had never been as good as he had passed the county examination, so he couldn't be happy. In addition, he was just recovering from a serious illness, so his face looked very gloomy.

Jia Jing has never been used to Jia Zheng's "false prudence", coupled with his brother's celebration banquet, who is he showing his face to?Really bad luck.

Jia Jing couldn't help but said: "What is the second brother Zheng thinking? His face is so ugly."

As soon as Jia Jing said this, everyone's eyes turned to Jia Zheng.

Jia Zheng pulled out a very ugly smile, and confronted Jia Jing: "I'm not as free and easy as Brother Jing, I still have to study, just now I was just thinking about the homework assigned by my master, I couldn't think of it for a while, That's why it looks a little ugly."

"Ham, Second Brother Zheng is indeed not as free and easy as I am. With a brother as promising as Brother She, Second Brother Zheng really doesn't have to force himself to study so hard. Is it possible that Brother She will not take care of you in the future?" Jia Jing deliberately stabbed Jia Zheng in the heart.

"If he doesn't take care of you, let alone uncle, it's impossible for the clan to agree. Brother Zheng, just relax."

"Didn't the second brother Zheng just recover from a serious illness? I don't look too good looking at him. I really shouldn't be working so hard on my studies." Jia Jing crazily stabbed Jia Zheng in the heart under the pretext of being good for Jia Zheng.

Jia Daishan didn't see the scheming between Jia Jing and Jia Zheng, and after hearing what Jia Jing said, he nodded and said, "Yes, Jing'er is right. Zheng'er can read well, and don't worry if he can't read well. Your eldest brother will inherit the family business."

That Tie Hanhan of Jia She was also there patting his chest, expressing his brother's thoughtfulness: "Second brother, don't worry, if you have a bite to eat, can you still be hungry?"

Jia Zheng thought in his heart, who wants your charity, but he couldn't say it out of his mouth, and his heart was terrified.

"Master, my daughter really has no way out. I beg you to save my daughter." As everyone was talking, the eldest girl from Rongguo Mansion threw herself in front of Jia Daishan and cried.

Although the defense between men and women is not serious in this dynasty, in order to let the girls relax at the table, Mrs. Xu has always opened another table for the girls.

The eldest girl has always been a quiet person, and now she came here crying and picked such a festive time.

"Nonsense, what do you mean? Are there any rules for a girl's house?" Shi Shi reprimanded before anyone else could speak.
