Jia Lian of the Red Chamber, go forward boldly
Chapter 71:
Youshi said: "Everyone is like you. I really have nothing to worry about. I only know how to joke with my sisters. I eat when I am hungry and sleep when I am sleepy. After a few years, it will still be like this. I don't worry about the funeral at all."
Baoyu laughed and said, "I can live with my sisters one day at a time, and it's over when I die. What happens next doesn't matter."
Li Wan and the others all laughed and said, "This is nonsense again. Even if you are a worthless person who stays here forever, don't his sisters go out?"
You Shi laughed and said: "I can't blame people for saying that he had a baby on fake. After all, he is stupid and stupid."
Baoyu laughed and said, "People are uncertain. We know who will die and who will live. If I die today, tomorrow, this year or next year, it will be considered as my life."
︿( ̄︶ ̄)︿
Baoyu said two sentences, how many words "death" appeared?How pessimistic are these two sentences?Although Jia Baoyu was "laughing", it was chilling to read.
He and Lin Daiyu are both very smart, and they can both see the future of the Jia family, but under the oppression of the patriarchal clan, the two juniors really can't do anything.
The more clearly you can see, the more painful it is.That's why he and Lin Daiyu got closer, and the two of them were staying together to keep warm.
Therefore, Jia Baoyu's thinking became more and more pessimistic until he finally became a monk.
I think it's his fault that he didn't resist. What achievements can a child of sixteen or seventeen be expected to make?
As analyzed above, under the ancient official system, Jia Baoyu was powerless at his age.
(After Yang Tinghe became a Jinshi, he also started as a junior official of the sixth and seventh ranks. No one can spare this process.)
☆、Chapter 66
Jia Lian thought about it carefully and thought it was feasible.
But the Jia family had few connections in this regard, so Fan Shen was entrusted to him. The family's students and old officials are all over the world, so it shouldn't be difficult to find a knowledgeable female teacher.
At the same time, I told Jia Mu that Jia Mu didn't care whether the teacher was a man or a woman, and Baoyu was still young, so she didn't know anything, as long as the teacher didn't beat and scold Baoyu.
Although Jia Zheng felt that it was not suitable, Jia's mother agreed, and he was obedient and said nothing.
Mrs. Wang, as long as Baoyu is willing to study, she is happy, and she doesn't care whether the teacher is a man or a woman.
Jia Amnesty is the uncle, so he has no control over Jia Baoyu.
So one month later, Fan Shen sent a female teacher in her 50s.
This person is called Nanny Zhou, and she is a female official of the Palace Classics and Books Bureau, in charge of the palace books.Because of his old age, he asked the way out.Unexpectedly, the family members have long since disappeared, and they have no choice but to live in the capital, wandering around.
She has been in the bookstore for many years and loves to read books when she has nothing to do.Not to mention being well-read and talented, it is definitely not a problem to teach Baoyu.
Jia Lian asked a few questions, and seeing that she answered fluently, and occasionally added some of her own opinions, she was very satisfied and wanted to keep her immediately.
But Nanny Zhou made some requests. The first is that she will not be enslaved in Jia's mansion, the second is the monthly money of three taels of silver, and the third is that she is getting old and doesn't want to wander around anymore. The government wants to support her until the end of her life.
Jia Lian agreed to the three conditions one by one.
He trusted Fan Shen's vision, if it was not good, he would never send it over.
Nanny Zhou is indeed getting old. If she employs her for a few years and then kicks her out, it will be hard for people who were five or sixty years old in the previous life to find a job, let alone people at this time.
Even if it costs nothing to provide for her, and she has no children, there will be less trouble in the future. If she can teach Baoyu something, it will be worth it.
After Jia Lian made up his mind, he led Nanny Zhou to see Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang.
The two saw that although she was not dressed gorgeously, she was still clean, her eyes had no evil thoughts, and her actions were well-behaved. They also heard Jia Lian say that she was as educated as some Jinshi, so they both agreed.
Nanny Zhou is older than Mrs. Wang, so there is no need to worry about rumors spreading.
So, Nanny Zhou settled down in Jia's house.
Mrs. Wang treated her very well, and specially arranged a quiet small yard as her retirement place.They sent two little maids to take care of her food and daily life, sweeping and other people, so she didn't need to worry about any other matters, she only needed to teach Baoyu.
And when Jia Baoyu heard that this woman who was older than her mother was not married, she first had a good impression in her heart that this nanny was not a dead fish eye.
The old man in Madam Zhou's palace can escape unscathed in the intriguing environment of the palace, so it's no problem coaxing a six-year-old child who is a bit weird.
She didn't beat or scold, and with just a few words, Baoyu said happily, "Your family has many sisters and sisters, you should learn from me first, and when you come to them, you can recite a few more lines and write a few lines of poetry. Tell them to praise you. I also know some girls like to hold a banquet, and if you do well in your poems, maybe they will send you an invitation to come."
Jia Baoyu thought about how those girls asked him to write poems, nodded excitedly, and stayed happily.In the next few days, Jia Baoyu went there after breakfast every day without being urged by Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, which was more accurate than the clock.
After Nanny Zhou taught for half a month, Jia Zheng checked and found that he had not only memorized half of the Analects of Confucius, but also the Book of Songs, etc., basically dabbling in the Four Books and Five Classics, so he ignored it and let Nanny Zhou do it for him. .
As for why Jia Baoyu is willing to study the Four Books and Five Classics, Nanny Zhou said, "I will definitely use it when composing poems in the future. All the other sisters will read it. If you don't read it, your poems are not good. How can those girls invite you?" You?" He dug out a few poems that were said to be "poems about the Four Books and Five Classics written by the girls at the flower viewing banquet" and showed them to Baoyu.
Jia Baoyu looked at the poems, tilted his head to think for a while, and readily agreed to read the Four Books and Five Classics.
After Mrs. Wang found out, she repeated a few lines of "Amitabha", and Baoyu was finally willing to read serious scriptures. No matter what the reason was, she was willing to read and recite.
Jia Lian went to see her a few times, and she was relieved to see that Nanny Zhou really taught students according to their aptitude.
With Jia Baoyu like this, his own father can't manage well, there is no way to do it, it really won't work.
As for whether he will be called an imperial examination in the future, that is a matter for the future. Jia Baoyu is only six years old, which is still early.Read it first.
Teacher Jia Baoyu's problem was solved, and Jia Lian worked safely in the household department.
Since the last He Xinqiao incident, under Emperor Qinghui's intentional suppression, both the three princes and Jia Lian have been silent for a while.
Jia Lian was busy teaching the officials of the household department to learn the method of data analysis, and the three princes were busy wooing the officials.
But after nearly a year of wooing, when the princes counted the personnel of their own camp at the end of the year, they found that all the people wooed were from the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Officials, and there were very few people from the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Punishment.
The Ministry of Punishment is because of Fan Shen. He has a strong heart and acts regardless of the faces of the princes. If any official dares to do such things in the Ministry of Punishment, Fan Shen will definitely scold that person in front of everyone.After coming here several times, no one dared to do anything in the criminal department.
Of course, the household department is because of Jia Lian.
Emperor Qinghui ordered that data analysis be taught to officials of the household department.
Jia Lian is an extremely responsible person. After receiving the order, he spent a whole month compiling a set of textbooks, which are divided into six volumes, including various mathematical knowledge from his previous life, such as geometric calculations, functional calculations, and sequence ,etc.
Of course, things from the previous society were not completely copied.
There are a lot of mathematical content, such as fractional arithmetic, cube-opening procedures, linear equation solution methods, solving various areas, pi, etc., ancient mathematics works "Nine Chapters on Arithmetic", "Zhoubi Suanjing", "Nine Chapters on Arithmetic Notes", "Zhang There are Qiu Jian Suan Jing, Zhu Shu, Wu Cao Suan Jing, Nine Chapters of Numerous Books, and he only needs to sort them out.
Others are just based on these books to invent a symbol suitable for the ancients, and the whole point of the formula.
The ancients were really not much stupider than modern people. Jia Lian found after research that, except for the mathematical content invented within 300 years of modern times, which is not here, almost everything else can be found in the book.
And this is why after Jia Lian proposed data analysis, Emperor Qinghui and other officials did not doubt the source of his mathematical knowledge.
In fact, the accounting of the household department only needs simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and many advanced contents are not used at all.
However, in order to prevent the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs from having nothing to do after finishing their studies, Jia Lian continued to engage in such things as three dragons seizing the heir, no matter whether it is necessary or not, it was compiled into the textbook.
These things are enough for them to drink a pot, so they should have no free time to do three or four.
Emperor Qing Hui said, "If you can't learn it, all go home and take your children. The court doesn't support idlers."
In this case, for the sake of their own jobs, the officials of the household department have to work hard to learn from the dead.
After teaching for a year, Jia Lian observed that even Peng Tong, who had been picking on him all the time, had a disheveled face, sloppy footsteps, and erratic eyes after learning mathematics. He almost fell ill, let alone If you trouble Jia Lian, your life is almost gone.
As for the other officials, it is almost enough to see Jia Lian without gritted teeth.
Gao Liang, Shangshu of Hubu, was very grateful to him. In this way, Hubu became a rare and quiet place.
The officials of the household department are all busy!
This year, apart from predicting several local droughts and floods again, Jia Lian did not accomplish any earth-shattering events.
When predicting this kind of thing, the first time it was right, everyone was amazed, but the second time it was right, everyone asked a few questions at most. Once the number of times is too high, no one will pay attention.If you want to make big news, you can only predict that there will be a major mistake.
But Jia Lian is absolutely unwilling to have such a thing happen, so when analyzing, he does his best and strives for perfection.
In this way, it is basically accurate every time, and everyone takes it for granted, so no one pays attention to him anymore.
Of course, because of his amazing analytical skills, no one dared to tease him again, for fear that Emperor Qinghui would ask Jia Lian to analyze the family's account books, and the officials who participated in Jia Lian's performance would end up in the same fate as He Xinqiao.
For this, Jia Lian is quite regretful.
There is no chance to show off again!
Looking at the expressions of the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs wishing to hang themselves one by one, I felt extremely comfortable.
The suffocation that he suffered from being tortured by mathematics back then has finally come out now.
But when the year was about to pass, a happy event happened in Jia's mansion.
After two years of hard work, Wang Xifeng finally became pregnant.
As soon as this news came out, the inside and outside of Jia's mansion were naturally filled with joy, and Wang Xifeng even took advantage of the situation to push the housekeeper's errand, so that she could raise her baby at home with peace of mind.
Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang also called Wang Xifeng to "raise the baby with peace of mind, and you don't have to worry about other things."
When Jia Lian got the news, she was surprised for a while, wondering if it might be Qiao Jie who had been postponed by him for so many years.
But no matter who it is, he will take good care of it.
The plot of the original book has basically been changed, even if Sister Qiao came, it would not be of much use.
Even with her memory...
memory...
memory?
Thinking of this, Jia Lian hesitated, what if Jing Huan did not give up and made Qiao Jie reincarnated with the memory of the illusory world?Is that still his daughter?
Although the child was born by Wang Xifeng, logically speaking, it should be his child, but does she have memories?What she was thinking must be too illusory!
A person who knows the destructive power of the future is much more destructive than a person who knows nothing, referring to his own example.
What to do then?
Straight to death?
It seems not very good!
That was a child after all.But, that's the Phantom Sent to sabotage what he's doing... stay?It was a little awkward to stay in my heart.
After worrying about gains and losses for a few days, Jia Lian did not find a good solution, so he had to temporarily suppress this idea, and decided to wait until Wang Xifeng gave birth to the child before deciding what to do.
After getting the news of Wang Xifeng's pregnancy, Jia Lian got another piece of news after not being excited for a few days.
Jia Min, who was far away in Gusu, sent a letter saying that someone proposed to Yingchun.
The child's surname is Yang, Yang Ming, 13 years old this year, studying in Sihai Academy, with good looks and good looks, Lin Ruhai has always liked him.
It's just a little bit of housework.His father was only a seventh-rank magistrate, but he had passed away long ago. He had two older brothers, both of whom were married. After being awarded Jinshi, they both served as officials outside, but the highest one was only a magistrate.Only he, young and unmarried, lives in Gusu with his widowed mother.
Jia Min's letter said that Mrs. Yang often went to her place, and when she saw Yingchun, she fell in love with her so much that she wanted to marry her.But after knowing that Yingchun was the daughter of the Rongguo Mansion, she was quite hesitant, fearing that people would say Gao Pan, after hesitating for a while, she didn't want to mention this matter at first.
Jia Min said that it was because she saw that the child was good, he was a rare lover, and Lin Ruhai often praised him, so she thought of asking.So he wrote a letter to Jia Lian, asking Jia Lian to make an idea as soon as possible, and write back after making a decision.
At the same time as receiving the letter, there was news that Zhang Gu, the chief minister of the cabinet, wanted to marry his grandson to welcome the Spring Festival.
Looking at the two news, Jia Lian was a little hesitant, not knowing which one to choose for a while.
☆、Chapter 67
Regarding Jia Min's letter, after reading Jia Lian's letter, Jia Lian did not make a decision immediately, but wrote a letter to Yingchun himself, saying: "Your marriage is about to be decided soon, and the two families come to ask, one is the chief assistant Zhang's family, and the other is yours." The Yang family you know, which one, you make up your own mind, if not, you will make a mistake for the rest of your life, and you will regret it later."
After asking Hou Song to take the letter away, he asked Wang Xifeng for his opinion.
Firstly, it was a temptation to look at her eyes, and secondly, it was also to tell her to see more of the world.
Wang Xifeng read the letter, thought for a while, and said: "Second sister's background, it is difficult for her to marry the son of a wealthy family."
Jia Lian nodded, that's not bad.Yingchun wanted to marry the son of the duke's mansion, no matter what kind of son he was, it was very difficult.Zhang Gu's marriage proposal was for his concubine's grandson.
"Bastard," Wang Xifeng pointed to Mrs. Wang's courtyard again, "just look at Third Younger Sister and Huan'er to know what kind of life the bastard lives."
A child born to a concubine, no matter whether he is capable or not, is a thorn in the eyes of his aunt, the difference is only the degree of the thorn.
Wang Xifeng's meaning is very clear, if Yingchun can marry a son-in-law, even if the family's background is a little lower, it's better to marry a son-in-law.
Jia Lian actually had the same opinion.
No matter how you say it, the son-in-law is his own son anyway, and no matter what, he will not show his face at will.
Yang Ming and Mrs. Yang came with the messenger of the Lin family again. Because the Yang family did not have a house in the capital, they are currently staying in the inn temporarily.
In Jia Min's letter, Jia Lian also told Jia Lian to meet the two of them before making a decision.
After reading the letter, Jia Lian did not meet Mrs. Yang and Yang Ming immediately, but first went to the household department to find out the state capital where Yang Ming's eldest brother Yang Gu and second brother Yang Cadm were located. Looking at the tax situation over the years, he found that it was basically stable. Afterwards, I went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to find the case files of the two places. When the two were in office, there were no major cases in the area under their jurisdiction, and it was relatively peaceful. Yes, not too many, but not too few.
From these aspects, although Yang Ming's elder brother and second elder brother are not outstanding, they are not mediocre either, because it is actually quite difficult to be successful.
Especially in the imperial examination, if one is not good, the number of Jinshi will drop sharply, but when the two of them were in office, they were okay.
After reading these, Jia Lian took Wang Xifeng to see Mrs. Yang and Yang Ming.
For Yang Ming, after reading it, Jia Lian was quite satisfied.
Probably because his father died early, his elder brother was away, and he needed to stir up family affairs. Although he was only 13 years old, he looked relatively stable overall. It is said that he was also arranging the itinerary along the way to Beijing.
Not to mention how good-looking she is, she's pretty pleasing to the eye, at least Jia Lian doesn't hate her.He speaks elegantly and behaves well. He is respectful to Jia Lian, but he does not appear to be servile.
Even so, Jia Lian still had the heart to try him, and said: "If you want to marry my sister, you have to understand that I will never allow my brother-in-law to take a concubine. If you can't accept this, or your mother If you don't accept this, I will never agree to this marriage."
No matter who Yingchun marries, he will not accept his brother-in-law taking a concubine.
After hearing this, Yang Ming got up and said generously: "Brother, please don't worry about this. My mother will never agree to our family. It's just because I used to have a younger sister who was killed by a concubine when I was three years old. My mother hated it deeply, and didn't allow the three of us to take concubines. My eldest brother and second brother don't have concubines. I also told...cough cough cough, I also promised my mother that I will never take concubines in the future."
Seeing Yang Ming's flushed face, Jia Lian didn't pursue the half-broken sentence in the middle.
As for the fact that Yang Gu and Yang Cadm had no concubines, Jia Lian had checked, and indeed they did not.He thought it was because the couple had a good relationship and were unwilling to take concubines, but he didn't expect there to be such a reason.
That being the case, Jia Lian was relieved.
However, as an uncle, you have to routinely threaten a few words, "Remember what you said, if you go back on your word in the future, or do something wrong to my sister, no matter how high your official position is, I will kill you with a sword." . If you don’t believe me, try it.”
"Don't dare, dare not." Yang Ming naturally promised again and again.
After seeing Yang Ming, Jia Lian asked Wang Xifeng about his attitude towards Mrs. Yang.
Wang Xifeng was full of praise for Mrs. Yang, saying that she "understands the overall situation and understands the general situation, and she speaks frankly. She is not the person who takes big and Joe, nor is she arrogant and domineering."
What made Wang Xifeng even more envious was that Mrs. Yang immediately divided up the family after her two sons got married, saying: "Everyone lives his own life, and no one bothers anyone. The daughter-in-law doesn't need to greet me, either. I have been tired for so many years, and I finally brought up the three brothers, I want to take a break, I don't think so early."
At this time, the daughter-in-law needs to greet the mother-in-law, but the daughter-in-law gets up early, and the mother-in-law also has to get up early, so Madam Yang said this.
Jia Lian was even more satisfied.Mrs. Yang is a rare and clear person.
This Yang family is a rare and kind family for Yingchun.
It is true that Zhang Shoufu's family has a high family background, but the grandson is a concubine, and the family has a large population. Zhang Gu himself has five or six sons, and the son has a son. Even if the Zhang family has a good family style and there is nothing messy, but This complicated interpersonal relationship is enough to cause headaches.
Furthermore, judging from the meaning between the lines in Jia Min's letter and Yang Ming's performance, Yang Ming and Yingchun might already be in love with each other, so why would he do the thing of beating mandarin ducks?
As for offending the chief assistant's family, Jia Lian was not worried at all, he had already registered with the emperor, and with Jia Daishan's face, if something really happened, he could meet the emperor directly, what was he afraid of?
In the case of Jia's family, if his official position kept rising, it would not be good to get married to a high-ranking family. It would not be as suitable as Yang Ming's family with a good family style, a kind mother-in-law, and Yang Ming himself as a legitimate son.
So, things settled down like this.
Mother Jia already knew about this matter. When Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng came back, they said that Mother Jia didn't care much about Yingchun, so she didn't say anything, and just asked them to make up their minds.
At this time, Yingchun's letter also came, and it was written very clearly, "I only want to be the wife of Yang's family in this life."
If the attitude of the person involved is determined, the matter will be easy to handle, all you need to do is persuade Jia Amnesty.
Jia Amnesty was very easy to deal with, Jia Lian only said one word, and he agreed, "The Yang family is willing to give all the cash, about 8000 taels of silver to buy as a bride price."
The Zhang family had strict rules, the eldest son only spent 5000 taels to get married, and the concubine's marriage at this time must not exceed the amount of [-] taels. In such a comparison, the master who only had money in Jia She's eyes, of course chose the Yang family.
As for the condition of the Yang family, whether Yang Ming was eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, whether Mrs. Yang was unkind, these were not within the scope of Jia Amnesty's consideration.
In the original book, isn't he just selling Yingchun for 5000 taels of silver?Now that the Yang family has paid more money, they are naturally more happy.
So, Yingchun's marriage was settled like this.
The Yang family found a well-known matchmaker to propose a marriage. The two families exchanged the Geng Tie, and after matching the characters, they sent a betrothal gift, which was a complete deal for Yang Ming and Yingchun's marriage.
As for the wedding date, since the two are still young, it is natural to delay it.
What Jia Lian meant was that it had already been decided anyway, that when Yingchun was fully grown, she would at least have to be 17 years old before getting married.Having children at a young age is not good for women or children.
Of course, he didn't say this in front of Yang Ming, he just planned to wait a few years and find a reason to delay it.
After Mrs. Yang and Yang Ming finalized the matter, they settled their minds and stayed in the capital for a few more days before boarding a boat and returning south.Yang Ming wanted to study, so he couldn't stay here for too long.
The matter of Yingchun was settled, and a big stone fell from Jia Lian's heart. How she will live in the future depends entirely on her own, and he can only help her here.
After the end of the year, Emperor Qinghui gave Jia Lian a new task, which was also to be a teacher, but for the prince to teach mathematics to the sixth prince Xin Quanning, who was almost 13 years old, from the beginning and in detail.
Jia Lian agreed without thinking.
The sixth prince was young four years ago, but now, according to the attitude of the ancients, he is about to be engaged. He is not too young, he can do some things, and he can compete with his brothers .
Jia Lian promised readily, and taught with great dedication, starting from simple addition and subtraction, from easy to difficult, step by step, one-on-one tutoring.
Xin Quanning is also smart, and can reveal a lot of things at a glance, which is much better than some officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs, such as Peng Tong, who is always ignorant and can't speak no matter what.
The communication between the two has gradually become warmer, from the beginning of business-like, strict, to the end of casual and relaxed, speaking from the heart.
For example, Xin Quanning once told Jia Lian that he was actually quite a great general on the battlefield, among thousands of armies, galloping back and forth, giving orders, ordering the troops under his banner to dispatch, like a dragon or a tiger, deterring the inside and outside, sealing wolves and living in them, forever in history Leave a name.
Regarding Xin Quanning's idea, Jia Lian said that it was basically the same as what he thought when he was thirteen or fourteen years old. He was full of enthusiasm and vowed to join the army to serve the country, to conquer a certain place, to wash a certain place with blood, to avenge his hatred, and to promote my Chinese power.
I found out later that I thought too much!
But every man has such a stage, blindly suppressing it is definitely not enough.He tried his best to recall how his own father dealt with his little annoyance. .
At that time, his biological father did not say that he was whimsical or anything, but took him to exercise, saying: "Without a good body, you can't run fast on the battlefield. How do you kill the enemy?"
After getting up and running a few times in the morning, his whole body was sore and he couldn't straighten his legs when he went downstairs. He said that he should continue to study, because he is not that kind of material.
Facing Xin Quanning now, Jia Lian thought for a while and said: "If Your Highness wants to join the army, the first point is to learn some martial arts first. A general can't be good at anything."
Of course, the royal family has no shortage of martial arts masters. After Xin Quanning studied for a few days, his enthusiasm for becoming a general diminished at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Later, he said: "I still think reading is good."
At this time, Jia Lian told him again, "You can't be a general, but you can be a marshal. When you are planning a strategy, you can win thousands of miles away. That kind of person doesn't need to practice martial arts."
Xin Quanning stared at Jia Lian for a while with accusing eyes, and then said quietly: "Master, you have become bad."
Regarding this remark, Jia Lian seriously thought about it, is he a good person?Doesn't it seem like it?He never said that he was a good person.
But this episode, which was obviously a lively atmosphere, made Xin Quanning's favorability for Jia Lian soar.His masters are all gray-haired old men, not to mention joking, they will be trained for a long time even if they do an unruly move, how can Jia Lian be so relaxed and casual?
Jia Lian's relationship of being both a teacher and a friend made Xin Quanning look at him differently.
This is exactly what Jia Lian wanted.
When he didn't want to rebel and the conditions for an uprising were not ripe, pushing Xin Quanning to that position was the best way he could think of to deal with the attacks of the three princes.
☆、Chapter 68
Xin Quanning's study progress is very good. After the inspection, the emperor was very satisfied with him, and praised the sixth prince many times in front of the ministers as "intelligent and capable of taking on great responsibilities".
This inevitably aroused the vigilance of the three princes.
Although their younger brother did not show up four years ago, he is now able to compete with them.
Especially after Jia Lian became Xin Quanning's master, the three of them couldn't sit still because of new and old grudges.
The third prince Xin Quanding, who had the greatest hatred against Jia Lian, approached Guo Chang to discuss how to get rid of Jia Lian, a thorn in his side.
After Guo Chang's kidnapping incident in Jinling, he returned to Beijing dispirited and lost face. Now he dare not show his face in the south of the Yangtze River. He hates Jia Lian to the bone. Seeing that Xin Quan was determined to find him, he naturally spared no effort.After thinking for a while, he sneered, "I heard that Jia Lian likes to ride the same horse no matter whether he is going to the household department or entering the palace."
The horse was given to Jia Lian after the civil unrest in Zhili, and the emperor felt ashamed of him.At that time, Jia Lian picked it himself. He was fat and strong, without a trace of hair on his body, and he walked like the wind. He was Jia Lian's favorite.
Xin Quanding took a deep look at Guo Chang, and nodded with a sneer as well. He doesn't intend to stay with Jia Lian.
While the third prince was discussing how to deal with Jia Lian, Jia Lian was in the palace, answering Xin Quanding's questions while walking.
"Master," there are no outsiders within ten steps of the two of them, so don't worry about others hearing it. Xin Quanding has already started to grow, and the baby fat on his face has gradually receded. At this moment, he frowned and said sadly, "This time, I will let you go." Palace man, the empress has released the palace maid who has always been loyal to me."
Every year, the palace releases a group of older maids. This list has always been drawn up by the empress.
Jia Lian listened, stretched out his hand and pulled a handful of green leaves, fiddled with him, and asked him: "Is this what the maid herself meant, or the empress?"
If Xin Quan wants to keep him, he must be willing, right?At this time, few women are willing to marry.Ask him again, "How old is the maid?"
Xin Quanding frowned and thought for a while, "About 24, as for whether she wants to go out, I didn't ask."
"Alas," Jia Lian sighed, after all, he is a member of the royal family. Although his mother's family is not visible, he has many faults that a prince should have.
"Leaving a person with resentment is better than attracting a person who has no foundation." Jia Lian said, stopped, turned to look at Xin Quanding, and said seriously, "She has served you for so many years. You must know better than others about her diet, daily life or private affairs. If her wish is to marry outside and live a stable life, but you interfere with it, then if she has any bad thoughts in the future, you can resist it Of course, you can say that you can kill her. It’s just that she has already caused you harm, so even if you kill him, you have left a bad impression on His Majesty, so what’s the use?”
Jia Lian didn't directly persuade Xin Quanding to respect other people's opinions. The masters of Jia's mansion haven't realized this yet, asking a prince to respect a court lady?
impossible!
Therefore, Jia Lian made an analysis from the perspective of pros and cons.
Xin Quanding is a smart person, and he is definitely unwilling to put his life in the hands of a resentful person.After listening to this analysis, you will make your own reasonable choices.
Sure enough, after hearing this, his brows gradually relaxed, "Master and my mother said the same thing."
After Jia Lian heard this, he took a deep look at him. This child, who knows how to test people at such a young age, should not be underestimated.
Then I thought about it again, at his age, he was young in the previous life, but in ancient times, he was not young. If the environment he was in was added, he couldn't be taken lightly.
Fortunately, Jia Lian and the sixth prince have always gotten along quite happily.
And the mother mentioned by the sixth prince is Concubine Xian, and she is also a character not to be underestimated.
The third prince's mother, Concubine Du Gui, ascended to the throne by virtue of her family background, and the empress ascended to the throne by virtue of her son. This Concubine Xian, like Lin Daiyu, was an orphan and had no one to rely on. stronger.
It's just that she has always been low-key, inconspicuous, and no one pays attention to her.
At this time, the two were about to reach the gate of the palace. Jia Lian didn't ask Xin Quanding to send him off, but handed him over to the eunuch behind him, and then left.
When he was about to leave the palace, he suddenly heard a whisper in his ear, "Lian'er!"
Jia Lian was taken aback, the voice was so familiar, a beautiful figure gradually emerged from his memory, it was not Shen Yan's memory, but the original Jia Lian's memory.
He turned around, and what he saw in his eyes was exactly the person he was thinking of, Yuan Chun who had been in the palace for many years.
"Big sister." Jia Lian also called out in a low voice as she watched the eunuchs and maids passing by.
Yuan Chun is dressed in palace attire and stands tall.The skin is like creamy fat, and the eyebrows are like ink painting. Although he is in his 20s, he is still dignified and graceful.It's just that his brows are slightly frowned, the dark circles under his eyes are heavy, his spirit is listless, and he is cautious in every move, not as bright as when he was at home.
"Lian'er..." Yuan Chun called out again, tears streaming down his face before he finished speaking.But he didn't dare to cry in front of everyone, he only held the veil to cover his face and choked up a few times, then quickly wiped it off, and regained his dignified appearance.
Looking at her trembling posture, Jia Lian couldn't help feeling sorry for her.
Outsiders only see the magnificence of life in the palace, who has seen the blood and tears beneath the prosperity?
Before Jia Lian could calm down and think about what to say, Yuan Chun sobbed and said, "Can I go home?"
Jia Lian's heart skipped a beat, looking at Yuan Chun with a sad expression, he was speechless for a long time.
Back then, there was no one in Jia's family, so Yuan Chun was sent to the palace, hoping that she would have a future with her frail body.
Now, Jia Lian has a promising future, and she also has the hope of leaving the palace in her heart.
Can go out of the palace to be the eldest lady, who wants to serve others here with fear?
Seeing the hopeful look in Yuan Chun's eyes, Jia Lian didn't immediately agree, "I need to go home and discuss this matter."
It was Jia Zheng's decision for Yuanchun to enter the palace, and her own father was also needed to leave the palace, so Jia Zheng made up his mind.
After Yuan Chun heard Jia Lian's words, he shook his head hastily, wanted to go forward, but didn't dare, just moved a bit, then stood upright and said, "No, don't go home to discuss."
"Why?" Jia Lian asked.
Yuan Chun looked at Jia Lian carefully for a moment with tears in his eyes, and then said: "Although I am in the deep palace, I have heard about you, and I know everything about you. If you go home to discuss, the master and wife will not agree. Agree, I still can't leave, I know you have the most ideas, so it's better to cut it first and then play it. After all, I am their daughter, if I really go back, they can't drive me out and let me live on the street."
Yuan Chun was determined not to stay in the palace, so he bit his lips and said, "If it's true that the love between father and daughter is gone, I've been very good at knitting and embroidery in the past few years. After I go out, I can earn a living for myself, and I won't die of hunger." I."
Jia Lian was even more surprised, Yuan Chun would rather give up this glory and go out, which is extraordinary.
But there is a problem, "But in this way, when you are with Mrs. and Mrs., the situation is..."
The most important thing is that the Jia family has always supported the nine princes, that is, the empress lineage, and now Yuan Chun is also a person close to the empress. If they want to release him, the empress must agree.
But with Jia Lian serving as the sixth prince's teacher and there is a faint tendency to change his family, the queen will definitely not let Yuan Chun go easily.
Although Yuan Chun may not be of much use at critical moments, being by the queen's side is at least a check on Jia's mansion.
"I'm not afraid," Yuan Chun shook his head and wiped his tears, "No matter what, it's better than being here in fear every day."
Jia Lian sighed again. In the original book, Yuanchun visits relatives, and Jia’s family members are all laughing, but she is crying. It is desolate and makes people have to sigh.
She also said to Jia Zheng, "Although the family of the farmhouse is full of salt and cloth, it can finally gather the joy of the heavenly wheel. Although it is extremely rich and noble, and the flesh and blood are everywhere, it is ultimately meaningless."
Baoyu laughed and said, "I can live with my sisters one day at a time, and it's over when I die. What happens next doesn't matter."
Li Wan and the others all laughed and said, "This is nonsense again. Even if you are a worthless person who stays here forever, don't his sisters go out?"
You Shi laughed and said: "I can't blame people for saying that he had a baby on fake. After all, he is stupid and stupid."
Baoyu laughed and said, "People are uncertain. We know who will die and who will live. If I die today, tomorrow, this year or next year, it will be considered as my life."
︿( ̄︶ ̄)︿
Baoyu said two sentences, how many words "death" appeared?How pessimistic are these two sentences?Although Jia Baoyu was "laughing", it was chilling to read.
He and Lin Daiyu are both very smart, and they can both see the future of the Jia family, but under the oppression of the patriarchal clan, the two juniors really can't do anything.
The more clearly you can see, the more painful it is.That's why he and Lin Daiyu got closer, and the two of them were staying together to keep warm.
Therefore, Jia Baoyu's thinking became more and more pessimistic until he finally became a monk.
I think it's his fault that he didn't resist. What achievements can a child of sixteen or seventeen be expected to make?
As analyzed above, under the ancient official system, Jia Baoyu was powerless at his age.
(After Yang Tinghe became a Jinshi, he also started as a junior official of the sixth and seventh ranks. No one can spare this process.)
☆、Chapter 66
Jia Lian thought about it carefully and thought it was feasible.
But the Jia family had few connections in this regard, so Fan Shen was entrusted to him. The family's students and old officials are all over the world, so it shouldn't be difficult to find a knowledgeable female teacher.
At the same time, I told Jia Mu that Jia Mu didn't care whether the teacher was a man or a woman, and Baoyu was still young, so she didn't know anything, as long as the teacher didn't beat and scold Baoyu.
Although Jia Zheng felt that it was not suitable, Jia's mother agreed, and he was obedient and said nothing.
Mrs. Wang, as long as Baoyu is willing to study, she is happy, and she doesn't care whether the teacher is a man or a woman.
Jia Amnesty is the uncle, so he has no control over Jia Baoyu.
So one month later, Fan Shen sent a female teacher in her 50s.
This person is called Nanny Zhou, and she is a female official of the Palace Classics and Books Bureau, in charge of the palace books.Because of his old age, he asked the way out.Unexpectedly, the family members have long since disappeared, and they have no choice but to live in the capital, wandering around.
She has been in the bookstore for many years and loves to read books when she has nothing to do.Not to mention being well-read and talented, it is definitely not a problem to teach Baoyu.
Jia Lian asked a few questions, and seeing that she answered fluently, and occasionally added some of her own opinions, she was very satisfied and wanted to keep her immediately.
But Nanny Zhou made some requests. The first is that she will not be enslaved in Jia's mansion, the second is the monthly money of three taels of silver, and the third is that she is getting old and doesn't want to wander around anymore. The government wants to support her until the end of her life.
Jia Lian agreed to the three conditions one by one.
He trusted Fan Shen's vision, if it was not good, he would never send it over.
Nanny Zhou is indeed getting old. If she employs her for a few years and then kicks her out, it will be hard for people who were five or sixty years old in the previous life to find a job, let alone people at this time.
Even if it costs nothing to provide for her, and she has no children, there will be less trouble in the future. If she can teach Baoyu something, it will be worth it.
After Jia Lian made up his mind, he led Nanny Zhou to see Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang.
The two saw that although she was not dressed gorgeously, she was still clean, her eyes had no evil thoughts, and her actions were well-behaved. They also heard Jia Lian say that she was as educated as some Jinshi, so they both agreed.
Nanny Zhou is older than Mrs. Wang, so there is no need to worry about rumors spreading.
So, Nanny Zhou settled down in Jia's house.
Mrs. Wang treated her very well, and specially arranged a quiet small yard as her retirement place.They sent two little maids to take care of her food and daily life, sweeping and other people, so she didn't need to worry about any other matters, she only needed to teach Baoyu.
And when Jia Baoyu heard that this woman who was older than her mother was not married, she first had a good impression in her heart that this nanny was not a dead fish eye.
The old man in Madam Zhou's palace can escape unscathed in the intriguing environment of the palace, so it's no problem coaxing a six-year-old child who is a bit weird.
She didn't beat or scold, and with just a few words, Baoyu said happily, "Your family has many sisters and sisters, you should learn from me first, and when you come to them, you can recite a few more lines and write a few lines of poetry. Tell them to praise you. I also know some girls like to hold a banquet, and if you do well in your poems, maybe they will send you an invitation to come."
Jia Baoyu thought about how those girls asked him to write poems, nodded excitedly, and stayed happily.In the next few days, Jia Baoyu went there after breakfast every day without being urged by Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, which was more accurate than the clock.
After Nanny Zhou taught for half a month, Jia Zheng checked and found that he had not only memorized half of the Analects of Confucius, but also the Book of Songs, etc., basically dabbling in the Four Books and Five Classics, so he ignored it and let Nanny Zhou do it for him. .
As for why Jia Baoyu is willing to study the Four Books and Five Classics, Nanny Zhou said, "I will definitely use it when composing poems in the future. All the other sisters will read it. If you don't read it, your poems are not good. How can those girls invite you?" You?" He dug out a few poems that were said to be "poems about the Four Books and Five Classics written by the girls at the flower viewing banquet" and showed them to Baoyu.
Jia Baoyu looked at the poems, tilted his head to think for a while, and readily agreed to read the Four Books and Five Classics.
After Mrs. Wang found out, she repeated a few lines of "Amitabha", and Baoyu was finally willing to read serious scriptures. No matter what the reason was, she was willing to read and recite.
Jia Lian went to see her a few times, and she was relieved to see that Nanny Zhou really taught students according to their aptitude.
With Jia Baoyu like this, his own father can't manage well, there is no way to do it, it really won't work.
As for whether he will be called an imperial examination in the future, that is a matter for the future. Jia Baoyu is only six years old, which is still early.Read it first.
Teacher Jia Baoyu's problem was solved, and Jia Lian worked safely in the household department.
Since the last He Xinqiao incident, under Emperor Qinghui's intentional suppression, both the three princes and Jia Lian have been silent for a while.
Jia Lian was busy teaching the officials of the household department to learn the method of data analysis, and the three princes were busy wooing the officials.
But after nearly a year of wooing, when the princes counted the personnel of their own camp at the end of the year, they found that all the people wooed were from the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Officials, and there were very few people from the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Punishment.
The Ministry of Punishment is because of Fan Shen. He has a strong heart and acts regardless of the faces of the princes. If any official dares to do such things in the Ministry of Punishment, Fan Shen will definitely scold that person in front of everyone.After coming here several times, no one dared to do anything in the criminal department.
Of course, the household department is because of Jia Lian.
Emperor Qinghui ordered that data analysis be taught to officials of the household department.
Jia Lian is an extremely responsible person. After receiving the order, he spent a whole month compiling a set of textbooks, which are divided into six volumes, including various mathematical knowledge from his previous life, such as geometric calculations, functional calculations, and sequence ,etc.
Of course, things from the previous society were not completely copied.
There are a lot of mathematical content, such as fractional arithmetic, cube-opening procedures, linear equation solution methods, solving various areas, pi, etc., ancient mathematics works "Nine Chapters on Arithmetic", "Zhoubi Suanjing", "Nine Chapters on Arithmetic Notes", "Zhang There are Qiu Jian Suan Jing, Zhu Shu, Wu Cao Suan Jing, Nine Chapters of Numerous Books, and he only needs to sort them out.
Others are just based on these books to invent a symbol suitable for the ancients, and the whole point of the formula.
The ancients were really not much stupider than modern people. Jia Lian found after research that, except for the mathematical content invented within 300 years of modern times, which is not here, almost everything else can be found in the book.
And this is why after Jia Lian proposed data analysis, Emperor Qinghui and other officials did not doubt the source of his mathematical knowledge.
In fact, the accounting of the household department only needs simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and many advanced contents are not used at all.
However, in order to prevent the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs from having nothing to do after finishing their studies, Jia Lian continued to engage in such things as three dragons seizing the heir, no matter whether it is necessary or not, it was compiled into the textbook.
These things are enough for them to drink a pot, so they should have no free time to do three or four.
Emperor Qing Hui said, "If you can't learn it, all go home and take your children. The court doesn't support idlers."
In this case, for the sake of their own jobs, the officials of the household department have to work hard to learn from the dead.
After teaching for a year, Jia Lian observed that even Peng Tong, who had been picking on him all the time, had a disheveled face, sloppy footsteps, and erratic eyes after learning mathematics. He almost fell ill, let alone If you trouble Jia Lian, your life is almost gone.
As for the other officials, it is almost enough to see Jia Lian without gritted teeth.
Gao Liang, Shangshu of Hubu, was very grateful to him. In this way, Hubu became a rare and quiet place.
The officials of the household department are all busy!
This year, apart from predicting several local droughts and floods again, Jia Lian did not accomplish any earth-shattering events.
When predicting this kind of thing, the first time it was right, everyone was amazed, but the second time it was right, everyone asked a few questions at most. Once the number of times is too high, no one will pay attention.If you want to make big news, you can only predict that there will be a major mistake.
But Jia Lian is absolutely unwilling to have such a thing happen, so when analyzing, he does his best and strives for perfection.
In this way, it is basically accurate every time, and everyone takes it for granted, so no one pays attention to him anymore.
Of course, because of his amazing analytical skills, no one dared to tease him again, for fear that Emperor Qinghui would ask Jia Lian to analyze the family's account books, and the officials who participated in Jia Lian's performance would end up in the same fate as He Xinqiao.
For this, Jia Lian is quite regretful.
There is no chance to show off again!
Looking at the expressions of the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs wishing to hang themselves one by one, I felt extremely comfortable.
The suffocation that he suffered from being tortured by mathematics back then has finally come out now.
But when the year was about to pass, a happy event happened in Jia's mansion.
After two years of hard work, Wang Xifeng finally became pregnant.
As soon as this news came out, the inside and outside of Jia's mansion were naturally filled with joy, and Wang Xifeng even took advantage of the situation to push the housekeeper's errand, so that she could raise her baby at home with peace of mind.
Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang also called Wang Xifeng to "raise the baby with peace of mind, and you don't have to worry about other things."
When Jia Lian got the news, she was surprised for a while, wondering if it might be Qiao Jie who had been postponed by him for so many years.
But no matter who it is, he will take good care of it.
The plot of the original book has basically been changed, even if Sister Qiao came, it would not be of much use.
Even with her memory...
memory...
memory?
Thinking of this, Jia Lian hesitated, what if Jing Huan did not give up and made Qiao Jie reincarnated with the memory of the illusory world?Is that still his daughter?
Although the child was born by Wang Xifeng, logically speaking, it should be his child, but does she have memories?What she was thinking must be too illusory!
A person who knows the destructive power of the future is much more destructive than a person who knows nothing, referring to his own example.
What to do then?
Straight to death?
It seems not very good!
That was a child after all.But, that's the Phantom Sent to sabotage what he's doing... stay?It was a little awkward to stay in my heart.
After worrying about gains and losses for a few days, Jia Lian did not find a good solution, so he had to temporarily suppress this idea, and decided to wait until Wang Xifeng gave birth to the child before deciding what to do.
After getting the news of Wang Xifeng's pregnancy, Jia Lian got another piece of news after not being excited for a few days.
Jia Min, who was far away in Gusu, sent a letter saying that someone proposed to Yingchun.
The child's surname is Yang, Yang Ming, 13 years old this year, studying in Sihai Academy, with good looks and good looks, Lin Ruhai has always liked him.
It's just a little bit of housework.His father was only a seventh-rank magistrate, but he had passed away long ago. He had two older brothers, both of whom were married. After being awarded Jinshi, they both served as officials outside, but the highest one was only a magistrate.Only he, young and unmarried, lives in Gusu with his widowed mother.
Jia Min's letter said that Mrs. Yang often went to her place, and when she saw Yingchun, she fell in love with her so much that she wanted to marry her.But after knowing that Yingchun was the daughter of the Rongguo Mansion, she was quite hesitant, fearing that people would say Gao Pan, after hesitating for a while, she didn't want to mention this matter at first.
Jia Min said that it was because she saw that the child was good, he was a rare lover, and Lin Ruhai often praised him, so she thought of asking.So he wrote a letter to Jia Lian, asking Jia Lian to make an idea as soon as possible, and write back after making a decision.
At the same time as receiving the letter, there was news that Zhang Gu, the chief minister of the cabinet, wanted to marry his grandson to welcome the Spring Festival.
Looking at the two news, Jia Lian was a little hesitant, not knowing which one to choose for a while.
☆、Chapter 67
Regarding Jia Min's letter, after reading Jia Lian's letter, Jia Lian did not make a decision immediately, but wrote a letter to Yingchun himself, saying: "Your marriage is about to be decided soon, and the two families come to ask, one is the chief assistant Zhang's family, and the other is yours." The Yang family you know, which one, you make up your own mind, if not, you will make a mistake for the rest of your life, and you will regret it later."
After asking Hou Song to take the letter away, he asked Wang Xifeng for his opinion.
Firstly, it was a temptation to look at her eyes, and secondly, it was also to tell her to see more of the world.
Wang Xifeng read the letter, thought for a while, and said: "Second sister's background, it is difficult for her to marry the son of a wealthy family."
Jia Lian nodded, that's not bad.Yingchun wanted to marry the son of the duke's mansion, no matter what kind of son he was, it was very difficult.Zhang Gu's marriage proposal was for his concubine's grandson.
"Bastard," Wang Xifeng pointed to Mrs. Wang's courtyard again, "just look at Third Younger Sister and Huan'er to know what kind of life the bastard lives."
A child born to a concubine, no matter whether he is capable or not, is a thorn in the eyes of his aunt, the difference is only the degree of the thorn.
Wang Xifeng's meaning is very clear, if Yingchun can marry a son-in-law, even if the family's background is a little lower, it's better to marry a son-in-law.
Jia Lian actually had the same opinion.
No matter how you say it, the son-in-law is his own son anyway, and no matter what, he will not show his face at will.
Yang Ming and Mrs. Yang came with the messenger of the Lin family again. Because the Yang family did not have a house in the capital, they are currently staying in the inn temporarily.
In Jia Min's letter, Jia Lian also told Jia Lian to meet the two of them before making a decision.
After reading the letter, Jia Lian did not meet Mrs. Yang and Yang Ming immediately, but first went to the household department to find out the state capital where Yang Ming's eldest brother Yang Gu and second brother Yang Cadm were located. Looking at the tax situation over the years, he found that it was basically stable. Afterwards, I went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to find the case files of the two places. When the two were in office, there were no major cases in the area under their jurisdiction, and it was relatively peaceful. Yes, not too many, but not too few.
From these aspects, although Yang Ming's elder brother and second elder brother are not outstanding, they are not mediocre either, because it is actually quite difficult to be successful.
Especially in the imperial examination, if one is not good, the number of Jinshi will drop sharply, but when the two of them were in office, they were okay.
After reading these, Jia Lian took Wang Xifeng to see Mrs. Yang and Yang Ming.
For Yang Ming, after reading it, Jia Lian was quite satisfied.
Probably because his father died early, his elder brother was away, and he needed to stir up family affairs. Although he was only 13 years old, he looked relatively stable overall. It is said that he was also arranging the itinerary along the way to Beijing.
Not to mention how good-looking she is, she's pretty pleasing to the eye, at least Jia Lian doesn't hate her.He speaks elegantly and behaves well. He is respectful to Jia Lian, but he does not appear to be servile.
Even so, Jia Lian still had the heart to try him, and said: "If you want to marry my sister, you have to understand that I will never allow my brother-in-law to take a concubine. If you can't accept this, or your mother If you don't accept this, I will never agree to this marriage."
No matter who Yingchun marries, he will not accept his brother-in-law taking a concubine.
After hearing this, Yang Ming got up and said generously: "Brother, please don't worry about this. My mother will never agree to our family. It's just because I used to have a younger sister who was killed by a concubine when I was three years old. My mother hated it deeply, and didn't allow the three of us to take concubines. My eldest brother and second brother don't have concubines. I also told...cough cough cough, I also promised my mother that I will never take concubines in the future."
Seeing Yang Ming's flushed face, Jia Lian didn't pursue the half-broken sentence in the middle.
As for the fact that Yang Gu and Yang Cadm had no concubines, Jia Lian had checked, and indeed they did not.He thought it was because the couple had a good relationship and were unwilling to take concubines, but he didn't expect there to be such a reason.
That being the case, Jia Lian was relieved.
However, as an uncle, you have to routinely threaten a few words, "Remember what you said, if you go back on your word in the future, or do something wrong to my sister, no matter how high your official position is, I will kill you with a sword." . If you don’t believe me, try it.”
"Don't dare, dare not." Yang Ming naturally promised again and again.
After seeing Yang Ming, Jia Lian asked Wang Xifeng about his attitude towards Mrs. Yang.
Wang Xifeng was full of praise for Mrs. Yang, saying that she "understands the overall situation and understands the general situation, and she speaks frankly. She is not the person who takes big and Joe, nor is she arrogant and domineering."
What made Wang Xifeng even more envious was that Mrs. Yang immediately divided up the family after her two sons got married, saying: "Everyone lives his own life, and no one bothers anyone. The daughter-in-law doesn't need to greet me, either. I have been tired for so many years, and I finally brought up the three brothers, I want to take a break, I don't think so early."
At this time, the daughter-in-law needs to greet the mother-in-law, but the daughter-in-law gets up early, and the mother-in-law also has to get up early, so Madam Yang said this.
Jia Lian was even more satisfied.Mrs. Yang is a rare and clear person.
This Yang family is a rare and kind family for Yingchun.
It is true that Zhang Shoufu's family has a high family background, but the grandson is a concubine, and the family has a large population. Zhang Gu himself has five or six sons, and the son has a son. Even if the Zhang family has a good family style and there is nothing messy, but This complicated interpersonal relationship is enough to cause headaches.
Furthermore, judging from the meaning between the lines in Jia Min's letter and Yang Ming's performance, Yang Ming and Yingchun might already be in love with each other, so why would he do the thing of beating mandarin ducks?
As for offending the chief assistant's family, Jia Lian was not worried at all, he had already registered with the emperor, and with Jia Daishan's face, if something really happened, he could meet the emperor directly, what was he afraid of?
In the case of Jia's family, if his official position kept rising, it would not be good to get married to a high-ranking family. It would not be as suitable as Yang Ming's family with a good family style, a kind mother-in-law, and Yang Ming himself as a legitimate son.
So, things settled down like this.
Mother Jia already knew about this matter. When Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng came back, they said that Mother Jia didn't care much about Yingchun, so she didn't say anything, and just asked them to make up their minds.
At this time, Yingchun's letter also came, and it was written very clearly, "I only want to be the wife of Yang's family in this life."
If the attitude of the person involved is determined, the matter will be easy to handle, all you need to do is persuade Jia Amnesty.
Jia Amnesty was very easy to deal with, Jia Lian only said one word, and he agreed, "The Yang family is willing to give all the cash, about 8000 taels of silver to buy as a bride price."
The Zhang family had strict rules, the eldest son only spent 5000 taels to get married, and the concubine's marriage at this time must not exceed the amount of [-] taels. In such a comparison, the master who only had money in Jia She's eyes, of course chose the Yang family.
As for the condition of the Yang family, whether Yang Ming was eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, whether Mrs. Yang was unkind, these were not within the scope of Jia Amnesty's consideration.
In the original book, isn't he just selling Yingchun for 5000 taels of silver?Now that the Yang family has paid more money, they are naturally more happy.
So, Yingchun's marriage was settled like this.
The Yang family found a well-known matchmaker to propose a marriage. The two families exchanged the Geng Tie, and after matching the characters, they sent a betrothal gift, which was a complete deal for Yang Ming and Yingchun's marriage.
As for the wedding date, since the two are still young, it is natural to delay it.
What Jia Lian meant was that it had already been decided anyway, that when Yingchun was fully grown, she would at least have to be 17 years old before getting married.Having children at a young age is not good for women or children.
Of course, he didn't say this in front of Yang Ming, he just planned to wait a few years and find a reason to delay it.
After Mrs. Yang and Yang Ming finalized the matter, they settled their minds and stayed in the capital for a few more days before boarding a boat and returning south.Yang Ming wanted to study, so he couldn't stay here for too long.
The matter of Yingchun was settled, and a big stone fell from Jia Lian's heart. How she will live in the future depends entirely on her own, and he can only help her here.
After the end of the year, Emperor Qinghui gave Jia Lian a new task, which was also to be a teacher, but for the prince to teach mathematics to the sixth prince Xin Quanning, who was almost 13 years old, from the beginning and in detail.
Jia Lian agreed without thinking.
The sixth prince was young four years ago, but now, according to the attitude of the ancients, he is about to be engaged. He is not too young, he can do some things, and he can compete with his brothers .
Jia Lian promised readily, and taught with great dedication, starting from simple addition and subtraction, from easy to difficult, step by step, one-on-one tutoring.
Xin Quanning is also smart, and can reveal a lot of things at a glance, which is much better than some officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs, such as Peng Tong, who is always ignorant and can't speak no matter what.
The communication between the two has gradually become warmer, from the beginning of business-like, strict, to the end of casual and relaxed, speaking from the heart.
For example, Xin Quanning once told Jia Lian that he was actually quite a great general on the battlefield, among thousands of armies, galloping back and forth, giving orders, ordering the troops under his banner to dispatch, like a dragon or a tiger, deterring the inside and outside, sealing wolves and living in them, forever in history Leave a name.
Regarding Xin Quanning's idea, Jia Lian said that it was basically the same as what he thought when he was thirteen or fourteen years old. He was full of enthusiasm and vowed to join the army to serve the country, to conquer a certain place, to wash a certain place with blood, to avenge his hatred, and to promote my Chinese power.
I found out later that I thought too much!
But every man has such a stage, blindly suppressing it is definitely not enough.He tried his best to recall how his own father dealt with his little annoyance. .
At that time, his biological father did not say that he was whimsical or anything, but took him to exercise, saying: "Without a good body, you can't run fast on the battlefield. How do you kill the enemy?"
After getting up and running a few times in the morning, his whole body was sore and he couldn't straighten his legs when he went downstairs. He said that he should continue to study, because he is not that kind of material.
Facing Xin Quanning now, Jia Lian thought for a while and said: "If Your Highness wants to join the army, the first point is to learn some martial arts first. A general can't be good at anything."
Of course, the royal family has no shortage of martial arts masters. After Xin Quanning studied for a few days, his enthusiasm for becoming a general diminished at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Later, he said: "I still think reading is good."
At this time, Jia Lian told him again, "You can't be a general, but you can be a marshal. When you are planning a strategy, you can win thousands of miles away. That kind of person doesn't need to practice martial arts."
Xin Quanning stared at Jia Lian for a while with accusing eyes, and then said quietly: "Master, you have become bad."
Regarding this remark, Jia Lian seriously thought about it, is he a good person?Doesn't it seem like it?He never said that he was a good person.
But this episode, which was obviously a lively atmosphere, made Xin Quanning's favorability for Jia Lian soar.His masters are all gray-haired old men, not to mention joking, they will be trained for a long time even if they do an unruly move, how can Jia Lian be so relaxed and casual?
Jia Lian's relationship of being both a teacher and a friend made Xin Quanning look at him differently.
This is exactly what Jia Lian wanted.
When he didn't want to rebel and the conditions for an uprising were not ripe, pushing Xin Quanning to that position was the best way he could think of to deal with the attacks of the three princes.
☆、Chapter 68
Xin Quanning's study progress is very good. After the inspection, the emperor was very satisfied with him, and praised the sixth prince many times in front of the ministers as "intelligent and capable of taking on great responsibilities".
This inevitably aroused the vigilance of the three princes.
Although their younger brother did not show up four years ago, he is now able to compete with them.
Especially after Jia Lian became Xin Quanning's master, the three of them couldn't sit still because of new and old grudges.
The third prince Xin Quanding, who had the greatest hatred against Jia Lian, approached Guo Chang to discuss how to get rid of Jia Lian, a thorn in his side.
After Guo Chang's kidnapping incident in Jinling, he returned to Beijing dispirited and lost face. Now he dare not show his face in the south of the Yangtze River. He hates Jia Lian to the bone. Seeing that Xin Quan was determined to find him, he naturally spared no effort.After thinking for a while, he sneered, "I heard that Jia Lian likes to ride the same horse no matter whether he is going to the household department or entering the palace."
The horse was given to Jia Lian after the civil unrest in Zhili, and the emperor felt ashamed of him.At that time, Jia Lian picked it himself. He was fat and strong, without a trace of hair on his body, and he walked like the wind. He was Jia Lian's favorite.
Xin Quanding took a deep look at Guo Chang, and nodded with a sneer as well. He doesn't intend to stay with Jia Lian.
While the third prince was discussing how to deal with Jia Lian, Jia Lian was in the palace, answering Xin Quanding's questions while walking.
"Master," there are no outsiders within ten steps of the two of them, so don't worry about others hearing it. Xin Quanding has already started to grow, and the baby fat on his face has gradually receded. At this moment, he frowned and said sadly, "This time, I will let you go." Palace man, the empress has released the palace maid who has always been loyal to me."
Every year, the palace releases a group of older maids. This list has always been drawn up by the empress.
Jia Lian listened, stretched out his hand and pulled a handful of green leaves, fiddled with him, and asked him: "Is this what the maid herself meant, or the empress?"
If Xin Quan wants to keep him, he must be willing, right?At this time, few women are willing to marry.Ask him again, "How old is the maid?"
Xin Quanding frowned and thought for a while, "About 24, as for whether she wants to go out, I didn't ask."
"Alas," Jia Lian sighed, after all, he is a member of the royal family. Although his mother's family is not visible, he has many faults that a prince should have.
"Leaving a person with resentment is better than attracting a person who has no foundation." Jia Lian said, stopped, turned to look at Xin Quanding, and said seriously, "She has served you for so many years. You must know better than others about her diet, daily life or private affairs. If her wish is to marry outside and live a stable life, but you interfere with it, then if she has any bad thoughts in the future, you can resist it Of course, you can say that you can kill her. It’s just that she has already caused you harm, so even if you kill him, you have left a bad impression on His Majesty, so what’s the use?”
Jia Lian didn't directly persuade Xin Quanding to respect other people's opinions. The masters of Jia's mansion haven't realized this yet, asking a prince to respect a court lady?
impossible!
Therefore, Jia Lian made an analysis from the perspective of pros and cons.
Xin Quanding is a smart person, and he is definitely unwilling to put his life in the hands of a resentful person.After listening to this analysis, you will make your own reasonable choices.
Sure enough, after hearing this, his brows gradually relaxed, "Master and my mother said the same thing."
After Jia Lian heard this, he took a deep look at him. This child, who knows how to test people at such a young age, should not be underestimated.
Then I thought about it again, at his age, he was young in the previous life, but in ancient times, he was not young. If the environment he was in was added, he couldn't be taken lightly.
Fortunately, Jia Lian and the sixth prince have always gotten along quite happily.
And the mother mentioned by the sixth prince is Concubine Xian, and she is also a character not to be underestimated.
The third prince's mother, Concubine Du Gui, ascended to the throne by virtue of her family background, and the empress ascended to the throne by virtue of her son. This Concubine Xian, like Lin Daiyu, was an orphan and had no one to rely on. stronger.
It's just that she has always been low-key, inconspicuous, and no one pays attention to her.
At this time, the two were about to reach the gate of the palace. Jia Lian didn't ask Xin Quanding to send him off, but handed him over to the eunuch behind him, and then left.
When he was about to leave the palace, he suddenly heard a whisper in his ear, "Lian'er!"
Jia Lian was taken aback, the voice was so familiar, a beautiful figure gradually emerged from his memory, it was not Shen Yan's memory, but the original Jia Lian's memory.
He turned around, and what he saw in his eyes was exactly the person he was thinking of, Yuan Chun who had been in the palace for many years.
"Big sister." Jia Lian also called out in a low voice as she watched the eunuchs and maids passing by.
Yuan Chun is dressed in palace attire and stands tall.The skin is like creamy fat, and the eyebrows are like ink painting. Although he is in his 20s, he is still dignified and graceful.It's just that his brows are slightly frowned, the dark circles under his eyes are heavy, his spirit is listless, and he is cautious in every move, not as bright as when he was at home.
"Lian'er..." Yuan Chun called out again, tears streaming down his face before he finished speaking.But he didn't dare to cry in front of everyone, he only held the veil to cover his face and choked up a few times, then quickly wiped it off, and regained his dignified appearance.
Looking at her trembling posture, Jia Lian couldn't help feeling sorry for her.
Outsiders only see the magnificence of life in the palace, who has seen the blood and tears beneath the prosperity?
Before Jia Lian could calm down and think about what to say, Yuan Chun sobbed and said, "Can I go home?"
Jia Lian's heart skipped a beat, looking at Yuan Chun with a sad expression, he was speechless for a long time.
Back then, there was no one in Jia's family, so Yuan Chun was sent to the palace, hoping that she would have a future with her frail body.
Now, Jia Lian has a promising future, and she also has the hope of leaving the palace in her heart.
Can go out of the palace to be the eldest lady, who wants to serve others here with fear?
Seeing the hopeful look in Yuan Chun's eyes, Jia Lian didn't immediately agree, "I need to go home and discuss this matter."
It was Jia Zheng's decision for Yuanchun to enter the palace, and her own father was also needed to leave the palace, so Jia Zheng made up his mind.
After Yuan Chun heard Jia Lian's words, he shook his head hastily, wanted to go forward, but didn't dare, just moved a bit, then stood upright and said, "No, don't go home to discuss."
"Why?" Jia Lian asked.
Yuan Chun looked at Jia Lian carefully for a moment with tears in his eyes, and then said: "Although I am in the deep palace, I have heard about you, and I know everything about you. If you go home to discuss, the master and wife will not agree. Agree, I still can't leave, I know you have the most ideas, so it's better to cut it first and then play it. After all, I am their daughter, if I really go back, they can't drive me out and let me live on the street."
Yuan Chun was determined not to stay in the palace, so he bit his lips and said, "If it's true that the love between father and daughter is gone, I've been very good at knitting and embroidery in the past few years. After I go out, I can earn a living for myself, and I won't die of hunger." I."
Jia Lian was even more surprised, Yuan Chun would rather give up this glory and go out, which is extraordinary.
But there is a problem, "But in this way, when you are with Mrs. and Mrs., the situation is..."
The most important thing is that the Jia family has always supported the nine princes, that is, the empress lineage, and now Yuan Chun is also a person close to the empress. If they want to release him, the empress must agree.
But with Jia Lian serving as the sixth prince's teacher and there is a faint tendency to change his family, the queen will definitely not let Yuan Chun go easily.
Although Yuan Chun may not be of much use at critical moments, being by the queen's side is at least a check on Jia's mansion.
"I'm not afraid," Yuan Chun shook his head and wiped his tears, "No matter what, it's better than being here in fear every day."
Jia Lian sighed again. In the original book, Yuanchun visits relatives, and Jia’s family members are all laughing, but she is crying. It is desolate and makes people have to sigh.
She also said to Jia Zheng, "Although the family of the farmhouse is full of salt and cloth, it can finally gather the joy of the heavenly wheel. Although it is extremely rich and noble, and the flesh and blood are everywhere, it is ultimately meaningless."
