Red Mansions: My Book is Cool
Chapter 113
"Amber," Mother Jia called her to her when she saw that Amber had entered the yard, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "You sent the things to Brother Cong? How did he react? Didn't he complain?" ?”
"Old lady, I sent brother Cong the item you gave me, and I just came back." Amber smiled and said, "Brother Cong is very good, he is a grandson, how can he blame the old lady? He After accepting the reward, he asked me to thank the old lady for him, and even smiled and casually chatted with me."
"By the way," Hu Po raised the purse in her hand: "Brother Cong also gave me a purse, saying that I worked hard to serve the old lady, so please trouble me to run. I didn't want to accept it, but Brother Cong If you refuse again, then"
Mother Jia breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, and said with a smile, "Since it's his wish, it's okay for you to accept it. Let me just say, brother Cong is a good and sensible boy. After two days, Zhuangzi The fruit on the table has arrived, and you can ask a little girl to bring some to him."
When Amber agreed to step back, Mother Jia sighed.That day, when she learned that Jia Cong was going to participate in the children's test, she felt a little bit in her heart.Judging from the news that reached her ears, Jia Cong was very diligent in studying ethnology. Although Jia Dairu told people that his spirituality was not very good, he worked hard. Fortunately, the children's examination also paid more attention to the intellectual foundation of the candidates. Solid or not, so Jia Cong can give it a try, maybe he will succeed!
At first, Mother Jia was a little happy when she heard this.Jia's family hadn't had a scholar with a reputation for many years. Jia Lian was not a student at all. Jia Zhu was eager to learn, but unfortunately he died early.Although Jia Cong is a grandson, but that child has always been quiet and responsible, obeying the rules and never causing trouble, compared to Jia Huan who jumps up and down all day, he is much better.If he can be selected as a scholar, it will be a good thing for the Jia family.
But when she changed her mind again, Jia's mother hesitated, and Baoyu suddenly came to her mind.Baoyu is very smart and spiritual. When he was still young, he had to be enlightened by his mother himself. He could read thousands of characters, poetry and books, and was born with jade. He was a man of great fortune.But now, Baoyu only spends his days leisurely, and doesn't devote his mind to studying.It doesn't matter at all. With Baoyu's intelligence, as long as he is enlightened, he thinks of working hard and strives for fame. Isn't it easy?But Jia Cong is now preparing for the final exam. If he wins the scholar in one fell swoop, what will Baoyu, the elder brother, do with himself?At that time, Zheng'er will find Baoyu not pleasing to the eye even more, and beats and scolds him all the time!
No, this won't work!Brother Cong can't go to the children's test this time, if he wants to go, he has to wait to end with Baoyu!Jia Mu made up her mind and made up her mind.
Jia's mother actually knew in her heart that this approach was unfair to Jia Cong, as if a bucket of cold water was pouring over his head, extinguishing his ardent hope.But then she explained to herself in her heart, Brother Cong is still young, is he thirteen this year, or fourteen?He had plenty of time, so why wait a little longer?Taking advantage of this skill, I can also make my knowledge more solid.If Baoyu is enlightened, he can still give advice to Brother Cong.Besides, in a big family, there should be differences between the concubine and the concubine. If the stem is weak and the branch is strong, that is not a good thing.Between the first room and the second room, there should be no unbalanced changes.Even in the big room, brother Cong can't overwhelm Lian'er!This is everyone's rule.
Fortunately, Brother Cong is still sensible and obedient!Mother Jia nodded in satisfaction, thinking about giving Jia Cong some more rewards to show her kindness.At this time, the maid outside shouted loudly: "Old lady, Miss Lin and Second Master Bao came together to greet you."
When Jia Mu heard this, she immediately put her thoughts behind her and said with a smile on her face, "Yuanyang, tell the kitchen to bring some freshly made snacks immediately, and then put the fresh fruit in two."
After a while, Jiamu's room was filled with laughter and laughter, and the ancestors were kind and grandson filial piety, enjoying the family happiness!
As soon as Hu Po walked out of Jia Cong's yard, Jia Cong's face darkened.He looked at the Grand View Garden shrouded in green shade in the distance, sneered, and slowly clenched his hands.
After school the next day, the schoolchildren packed up their books, pens and ink, and left in twos and threes.Jia Cong sat motionless in his seat, thinking about it in his mind, when Jia Dairu stopped him.
"Brother Cong, I saw that you were very preoccupied in class, and your mind was rarely distracted. Seeing that the children's test is about to start, how are you preparing?" Jia Dairu asked with concern.
"Master Confucianism, the old lady sent someone to tell me the day before yesterday that there is no need to rush to the children's examination. She wants me to study for two more years and end up with Brother Bao and Brother Huan." Jia Cong said expressionlessly: "I think Brother Huan just incidentally, the old lady meant that I should wait for Second Brother Bao."
"But, Mr. Confucianism," Jia Cong suddenly raised his voice, his tone was harsh and full of resentment: "But you know, how can Baoyu think about such mundane things as fame and fame! He doesn't go out for a day, don't I? Do you want to waste your time in vain? He is a precious treasure in the family, and he has his own wife and old lady in the palace to plan his future, but who would think too much about me?"
Saying something like this, in this world, is somewhat rebellious.Jia Cong was really anxious and angry, but he also wanted to test Jia Dairu.He has a calculation in his mind, but it also depends on Jia Dairu's attitude.If Jia Dairu refused to understand the past and listened to his words, he felt like a scourge, and even reprimanded him, he would not say anything.Even though Jia Dairu was very kind to him, he could not draw him as an ally because of different ways.
Jia Dairu was silent for a long time, and then he let out a long sigh: "Brother Cong, it's hard for a bastard!"
The sadness and regret many years ago was touched. Jia Dairu looked at Jia Cong, just like looking at himself back then. He had mixed feelings and couldn't restrain it. He couldn't help but tell Jia Cong about his experience, and he was aggrieved in his heart for too long.
"Brother Cong, I, like you, studied hard back then." Jia Dairu sat down slowly in front of Jia Cong, recalling the past.
Jia Dairu's biological mother was the concubine of Jia Yan, Duke of the Rong Kingdom. At that time, Jia Yan prospered because of his achievements in Conglong.Jia Dairu's biological mother Jiang was a son of a good family, and his father was a scholar. If it hadn't been for the family's decline during the war, he would not have been reduced to a concubine.Jiang is smart and beautiful, and has a good background. She is very extraordinary among Jia Yan's many maidservant aunts and Tongfang.
Jia Dairu was enlightened by the Jiang family since he was a child. He is very talented in reading, smart and lively. Jia Yan values him, second only to Chengjue's direct son Jia Daishan.Jia Yan is a knowledgeable person, he understands that the world has settled down, the status of Wu Xun will gradually decrease in the future, and it is easy to arouse the suspicion of the emperor, the descendants of the Jia family should go on the road of civil servants.Therefore, Jia Yan spent a lot of money to cultivate Jia Dairu.Mrs. Jia was even more unhappy when she saw it, but she couldn't be the master of Jia's performance, and she couldn't think about it.
When Jia Dairu was slightly older than the current Jia Cong, he left the stage.In the first child's test, he won the scholar, which is the time when the spring breeze is proud and high-spirited.He stepped up his study and prepared for the second year's rural examination.Before the end of the year, the chronic illness in his early years broke out, and Jia Yan became seriously ill.After months of procrastination, it finally went.Since then, Jia Dairu's life and destiny have undergone a great turning point.
In the name of keeping filial piety, Mrs. Jia prevented Jia Dairu from taking the provincial examination.She is now the most senior member of the Jia family and Jia Dairu's aunt, so naturally everything is up to her.Besides, the reason she gave was also high-sounding.Jia Dairu and Jiang Shi knew that she was taking personal revenge, so they had no choice but to be patient, otherwise, if a crime of disrespecting their parents and mistress would be suppressed, their mother and son would not be able to bear it.
Jia Dairu gritted his teeth and kept his filial piety for three years, but he has been studying books uninterruptedly, but at this time there is no one to guide him, so the benefits are not great.After Jia Yan's filial piety period expired, Mrs. Jia, under Jia Daishan's persuasion, finally agreed to let him continue the exam.Before he had time to rejoice, Jia Daishan made a request to him, that is, if he can obtain fame in the future.Jia Daishan will run an official position for him, but he just wants to go to Ping'an Prefecture, which is where the Jia family secretly hides their strength.In this way, the civil servants also arranged for the Jia family, and Jia Daishan could firmly control Ping'an Prefecture in his own hands.Just like the southeast coast, it is the world of Nan'an Palace.
But Jia Dairu didn't want to be a puppet in Jia Daishan's hands and let him manipulate him. He was even more afraid that if something happened, he would be thrown out by the Jia family and become a scapegoat.Jia Daishan expressed his attitude that he wanted Jiang to stay in the Rongguo Mansion in the capital and take him as a hostage in order to pinpoint Jia Dairu.Jia Dairu had no choice but to make a decision, and failed several times, but never again passed the Juren examination.After a long time, Jia Daishan also lost interest in him.
After a long period of neglect, Jia Dairu no longer had the vigor of his youth.A few years later, Mrs. Jia passed away, and the Jiang family went too. As a concubine, Jia Dairu received a small share of the family property from the Rongguo Mansion, and moved out to live by himself.He lived in poverty all his life, and when he reached middle age, he could only receive the grace of the clan and became the head of the clan school to subsidize his family.But fate was not good, he lost his son in middle age, and even his only grandson died in his later years.Although Jia Rui was ineffective, that was his only blood.
Speaking of the past, Jia Dairu smiled miserably: "Brother Cong, this is the fate of the concubine of Jia's family! Even if you don't have any wrong thoughts, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop! If you are fooling around like Brother Huan That's all, but if you want to make progress, in your grandmother's eyes, you want to surpass Baoyu and break the rules, so of course she won't!"
"I'm afraid that even if the government allows you to take the imperial examination, you won't be able to stop if you get the fame." Jia Dairu continued: "The Jia family today is far behind when I was young. If you become an official and you are a bastard junior, your grandmother, your father's aunt, and even your brother and sister-in-law can use your status to manipulate you."
Jia Dairu sneered and gave an example: "You know Jia Yucun, right? He and the Jia family are linked together, but in fact he was reinstated and promoted with the help of the Wang family. Naturally, he will pay back. Xue Pan's life lawsuit was settled by him. , The antique fan your father likes was also bought by him, and I heard that he framed the original owner because of it. Think about it, he did it voluntarily, and there will be retribution in the future. But if the old man puts on the posture of a father, Ordering you to do such a thing, how do you deal with yourself? Let you bend the law for the Jia family’s selfishness, will you do it? From this point of view, this has no fame, and it’s not a bad thing!”
"No, Mr. Confucianism, no matter what, I must strive for fame!" Jia Cong said firmly, "Even if I have to leave the Jia family because of this, I will not hesitate!"
Jia Dairu was shocked when he heard the words, he stared straight at Jia Cong with a strange light in his eyes.After a while, he hoarsely said: "Then, Brother Cong, are you willing to succeed me and be my grandson?"
"Old lady, I sent brother Cong the item you gave me, and I just came back." Amber smiled and said, "Brother Cong is very good, he is a grandson, how can he blame the old lady? He After accepting the reward, he asked me to thank the old lady for him, and even smiled and casually chatted with me."
"By the way," Hu Po raised the purse in her hand: "Brother Cong also gave me a purse, saying that I worked hard to serve the old lady, so please trouble me to run. I didn't want to accept it, but Brother Cong If you refuse again, then"
