The Kangping Life of Mrs. Xing in Honglou

Jia Baoyu moved back to live in the second room, and Xing Yue felt much more at ease. Although Jia Baoyu lived with the old lady, he lived in the big room. If Jia Baoyu had a headache, they couldn't leave the big room alone, or they would have to bear the burden. A reputation for being harsh on a nephew.

The old lady is also a fool. After all these years, she has put Jia Baoyu in her eyes and treated her other grandchildren worse than cats and dogs.It's better for the granddaughter, because the granddaughter is useful, and the old lady doesn't even look at the grandson of the two concubines. Except for the New Year's Day, the two children can go to the house to greet the old lady. Kowtow to the old lady at the door, and it's over. Xing Yue estimated that if a group of children were put together, the old lady might not even recognize her grandson.

Although the two girls, Yingchun and Tanchun, are both descendants of concubines, they have different identities now. They are equivalent to the daughters of the concubine. The value of the marriage, Mother Jia intentionally let the two of them cultivate a relationship with Baoyu. Every time they went to pay their respects, the old lady would leave the two of them to talk. The two sisters play with Baoyu, which enhances the relationship between the three.

The old lady knew that this would be counterproductive. Yingchun was taught by the nurturing mother, coupled with Xing Yue's own attitude, and the memory of not being favored in the early years, she was very disgusted with Baoyu at all.

The old lady and her second wife, Mrs. Liu, did not deal with each other. Now Tanchun is raised under Mrs. Liu's name. Ms. Liu herself came out of the palace, and her methods are very well-behaved. It's not the name of the old lady, and Tanchun is also a scheming person. He understands his situation, pleases the Liu family, stays away from Baoyu, and is very disgusted with the behavior of the old lady.

The old lady's behavior made Jia Baoyu think of himself as a high-status, and looked down on both Jia Cong and Jia Huan, and rarely met each other, let alone any brotherhood.He didn't understand at all that Dafang's Jia Cong had a much higher status than him.Originally Mrs. Liu planned to include Jia Huan in her name, but the old lady refused to agree with her life and death, so she made him the only legitimate son in the second room and guaranteed his status in the second room.

The place where Erfang lives now is only one street away, but after all, it is away from Rongguo Mansion, and Jia Baoyu is away from the old lady's nose. It takes time not.

The second day after Jia Baoyu came back to live in his own house, Jia Zheng tortured the knowledge of the two brothers. Answered very fluently.Jia Baoyu couldn't make it. He followed the old lady since he was a child, and he was afraid when he saw Jia Zheng's face.Jia Zheng's face turned darker, and Jia Baoyu turned pale with fright.

Seeing Jia Baoyu's useless appearance, Jia Zheng became angry, and remembering what he had heard before, he was so angry that he resorted to family law and beat Baoyu.Mrs. Liu asked people to listen to the movement in the study room early in the morning, and when she got the news that Jia Zheng was beating Baoyu, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and then she put it away, put on a worried expression, and went to the study room. I was sweating a lot, but whether he came here in a hurry or something else, you can tell by looking at Baoyu's swollen hands that look like buns.

"Master, Baoyu has just come back, so you punish him now. Baoyu is still young and weak. If he does something wrong, the master can teach him well. The child's hands are swollen. If the old lady knows this, what can I do?" OK?" Seeing the scene in the study, Mrs. Liu said while holding Baoyu's swollen hand like a steamed bun.

"Why is he still young? He is three years older than Huan'er, and he can't read as well as Huan'er. I think that gentleman can't teach. He will resign tomorrow. Huan'er is also six years old this year. It's time to go to school, let him and Huan'er go to study at home tomorrow." Jia Zheng chatted with Qing Keqing every day, how could he know what home school was like, after Jia Jing, Jia Zhu and Li Yunxiang passed the exam Jinshi, Jia Zheng still has great trust in Jia Dairu, the family uncle.

In recent years, the Rongguo Mansion has a direct lineage, and no children go to the family school to study. Mrs. Liu does not know what the family school is like now. Seeing what Jia Zheng said, she agreed and took Baoyu and Jia Huan back.Seeing Baoyu come back with swollen hands, a group of maids and women in Baoyu courtyard immediately surrounded her, forgetting even the rules of paying respects to Mrs. Liu. A few words, and told the servants in the courtyard to pack Jia Baoyu's things for school tomorrow, and then took Jia Huan back. After returning, he asked someone to send medicine and a set of four treasures of the study to Baoyu, and then he never asked again. .

Take Aunt Zhao to pack Jia Huan's things for Jia Huan to go to school tomorrow. The four treasures of the study, servants, and food are all carefully prepared.

Jia Baoyu originally wanted to pretend to be sick, but thinking of his father's disgraceful face, he got up honestly and asked An to go to school.

After hearing the letter from the family school, Jia Dairu went to the family school early in the morning. Jia Zheng took his two children to see Jia Dairu, walked around the family school, and then nodded with satisfaction. Today, because Jia Dairu is here, the family school Only then did the boys become more honest, Jia Baoyu looked at the ruler in Jia Dairu's hand, and was also afraid in his heart, so he studied honestly for a day.

At the end of the day, they went through it steadily. After returning home, the two children recounted what they had learned at home today. Jia Zheng took another test of their knowledge, and then nodded in satisfaction.For three days in a row, both of them performed well. Jia Zheng thought that his decision was correct, so he stopped questioning the two children about their knowledge every day.In addition, Prince Rui was about to ascend the throne, and things in Beijing were complicated, and Jia Zheng wanted to take this opportunity to recover, so he was busy with work outside every day and could not take care of his children.

Mrs. Liu and Aunt Zhao had high hopes for Jia Huan. Every day after school, they would ask Jia Huan what he had learned, and of course the servants around him were no exception.When I asked this question, something happened. It turned out that Jia Dairu was old and lacked energy. After class in the morning, he went back to rest and left his grandson Jia Rui to take care of a group of children.Jia Rui was not a good person at all, his school was messed up.

A few days ago, because Jia Baoyu and Jia Huan went to school, the old man specially warned his grandson, and Jia Rui withdrew a few copies. After a long time, he returned to normal. All these were told by Jia Huan and the servant Mrs. Liu and Aunt Zhao listened.Mrs. Liu also sent someone to inquire, but the two were very worried, fearing that the gang of bad boys in the school would spoil Jia Huan, so they told Jia Huan to go to school well and not fool around with those gangsters, and told the boys to take Jia Huan to school. Seeing it well, Mrs. Liu also thought of a way, how can Jia Huan not go to school to study.

Xing Yue was also surprised when she heard that the two of them went to study at home school. Others didn’t know about it. She had seen Dream of Red Mansions, so she didn’t know what Jia’s home school was like. It was not through Mr. Mu that Jia Cong was far away from his family school.

Xing Yue has been thinking, why in the Dream of Red Mansions, the old lady, Mrs. Wang, knowing the chaos of the Jia family's family education, why would they send their children to study at home, and the family does not lack the money, so why not hire one? It is possible for the master to come back to teach, or to study in a famous academy in Beijing. She was puzzled by it, and now she doesn't understand it.

She also just stayed at home and watched the future development.From her point of view, with Baoyu's temperament and current status, he was bound to cause trouble when he came to the family school. As she expected, Baoyu got into a fight in the school in February.

As for the reason for the fight, it was nothing more than the matter of Baoyu's wife, Mrs. Wang. Some students in the school couldn't blame Jia Baoyu, who obviously had the same status as them. He was still high above them and looked down on them, so he revealed the matter of Baoyu's biological mother, and said that Baoyu was more beautiful than that small official and opera singer, and that the servant Mingyan who served Jia Baoyu Unable to bear it, he moved his hands and huddled into a ball. Accidentally, he hurt others. The servants around Jia Huan tried their best to protect Jia Huan. When Jia Huan was hit on the head by a flying book, I couldn't help it, and I was also implicated in it. In the end, the room was full of pens, inks, papers and inkstones flying around, and the whole family school was about to be demolished by them. There were many people with colorful clothes on their bodies, which alarmed the clan. Jia Zhen was not there, and Jia She Was invited to deal with this matter.

The old lady felt sorry for Baoyu, and sent someone to the school to bring Baoyu back.Xing Yue didn't know exactly what was going on in the school, she just saw Jia Baoyu being carried back with his face covered in blood, he looked scary, after a check by the imperial physician, only the corner of his forehead was smashed by an inkstone that someone threw over broken.

In the evening, Jia Amnesty came back. There were quite a few injured children in the school today. The adults were very distressed when they saw their own children being injured. Not all the children belonged to the Jia family, and there were many relatives. At home, it was a lot of trouble to deal with it. First, a doctor was invited to diagnose and treat the children in the school, and some adults were stubborn. Jia Amnesty came back extremely tired.

Jia Baoyu was taken to live in the mansion by the old lady, and after interrogation, the old lady knew the cause and effect, scolded those cheap people, resented Jia Dairu's poor management, and made her precious grandson suffer in school.Jia Huan was also picked up by Mrs. Liu, and his face was also painted. The right side of his face was punched by someone. It was black and blue. Mrs. Liu didn't want Jia Huan to study at home anymore, and told all about what happened and the chaos at home, Jia Zheng's face turned blue when he was angry.

On the second day, Jia Zheng and Liu came over with their two children. After seeing Baoyu, Jia Zheng went to find Jia Amnesty, and Liu brought Jia Huan to Xing Yue's courtyard. Qing's small face, hurriedly pulled to the side to look, and asked someone to take the best medicine for Mrs. Liu.

"Yesterday, Baoyu was carried back with his face covered in blood, and today he saw Huan'er's face was black and blue. These bastards are not serious in their actions. I heard that there was a fight in school. What's going on?" Xing Yue asked.

"Sister-in-law, don't you know? Didn't eldest brother go to school to deal with this matter yesterday?" Liu asked in surprise.

"Yesterday, Baoyu was sent back with his face covered in blood. I was too busy trying to figure it out. I just heard that there was a fight in school. Last night, the master didn't come back until late at night. I was too tired, so I didn't ask. Early, you are here." Xing Yue replied, Xing Yue asked Jia Huan to take Jia Zong and Lin Xin, and talked to Liu Shi himself.

"Sister-in-law, speaking of it, I really envy you for not sending Brother Cong to study at home." Mrs. Liu explained the ins and outs of the incident before finally saying.

"I didn't expect the family education to be so chaotic. We hit it by mistake at that time. Mr. Mu helped Lian'er a lot. With Mr. Mu around, Lian'er hid there last year. Lian'er went to the south. In order to thank Mr. Mu, this time I just came up with the name of asking Mr. Mu to teach Brother Cong, so as to keep Mr. Mu." Xing Yue explained.

The things that should be learned at home should be taken care of by the patriarch, that is, Jia Zhen, but now that Jia Zhen has returned to the south to observe his filial piety, everything in Beijing is in the hands of Jia She, and Jia Zheng is also looking for Jia She for the things learned by the family.

When the second child's family left, Jia She came back with a frown. Xing Yue saw that he was worried about the family education, and said, "Master, are you worried about the family education?"

"Did you hear what my younger siblings said? Sixth Uncle is getting old, and he can't do what he wants to manage the family school. The family school is also in chaos. The family school is the foundation of my Jia family. If things go on like this, the descendants of the family will be corrupted." Without any promising descendants, our Jia family will be finished." In the past few years, Jia Amnesty has dealt with Yan Xueshi a lot, and he has thought a lot about it.

"My lord, why don't you invite some strict and knowledgeable masters to teach at home? Uncle Six is ​​getting old and doesn't have the energy to take care of these things, so let him be a school inspector, and he doesn't teach. He just goes to home school on weekdays. Let's see how the new master is teaching, and by the way, also discipline those disobedient students. There is also the second brother, the second brother is well educated, and now he has nothing to do at home, so why not go to the school and take care of one or two." Xing Yue He sat down and talked, refilled Jia Amnesty's tea, and continued: "If the school manages well, the children in our clan will be successful, and there will be a few Jinshi graduates, then our family will be great, and it will also be a scholarly family. Now, if there are outstanding children in all generations, then it is a scholarly family. After all, even if you fail the imperial examination, if you study at home for a few years, you can still make a living by yourself, which is better than going to the door to fight the autumn wind." These years , Xing Yue often encountered those relatives of the Jia family who came to fight Qiufeng. Although she did not lack the money, she was always annoyed by those people, and Xing Yue also had a headache.

"You're right, but after all, Zhen'er is the patriarch, so it's inappropriate for us to intervene," Jia She said.

"Master, Brother Zhen is not in the capital, but Brother Jing is here. This is related to the fate of the clan. I don't believe that Brother Jing doesn't care about this matter. Brother Jing is Brother Zhen's father. He makes the decision. Then Zhen Can you still have an opinion?" Xing Yue reminded Jia She that this Jia Jing was also a Jinshi, so why didn't he know the importance of the imperial examination.

Jia Amnesty invited Jia Zheng down the mountain the next day, discussed with Jia Zheng's three brothers, and established new rules by referring to other families' learning.

[-]. All children of the Jia family must study at home when they reach the age of six.

[-]. All children of the Jia family who study at home will not be charged for repairs, and the family school will provide pen, ink, paper and inkstone and bibliography for free

1. The family school holds an exam every three months. The top five in the exam will be rewarded. No.2 will reward eight taels of silver, No.3 will reward six taels of silver, No.4 will reward four taels of silver, No. .5, reward two taels of silver, No.[-], reward one tael of silver.

[-]. For all the children of the family who are admitted to the Guozijian, all expenses will be paid by the clan.

100. For all the children of the Jia family who take part in the imperial examination, they will be rewarded with 500 taels of silver, one courtyard and ten mu of fertile land for the first time in the imperial examination; the reward of 1000 taels of silver will be rewarded for the third exam, and one hectare of fertile land will be awarded for the third time. The reward is [-] taels of silver, one hardware compound, and three hectares of fertile land.

After Xing Yue saw this, she was very different. She did not expect that the three brothers could come up with such advanced incentive measures. These rewards are even tempting to the children of rich families. You know, the unmarried masters of the Jia family The monthly money is only two taels of silver.

Looking down, Jia Dairu became the head of the family school, in charge of the family school, and Jia Zheng was the supervisor, which is equivalent to the current director of the teaching office. Jia Zheng is in charge of the pedantic people in the school.
