old lady in red

Chapter 11 Give away a carrot

Mother Jia didn't like Jia She very much, she didn't remember anything about Jia She, and all she remembered was because of Jia She, who was made things difficult by the old Duke and his wife.

When the old lady married into Jia's mansion, Jia's mansion was still farming and studying.

Plowing and studying is a decent term, but it is actually a farmer who has 35 acres of Susukida in his family and eats in the soil.

However, Jia Daishan's grandfather has some knowledge, no matter how poor he is, he will not lose his books, and saves money on food and expenses so that his son can study.

Count on his son to take the imperial examination to become an official and change his court.

The brothers Jia Yuan and Jia Yan went out to study, not only increased their knowledge, but also met the commander of the Jinling Guards, the Shui family son.Later, the Shui family took advantage of the chaos to rise up and stand on their own.

After hearing the news, the Jia Yuan brothers rushed to serve overnight and became Master Shui's personal guards.

The Jia family brothers did not become the Jinshi of the old dynasty, but became the upstarts of the new dynasty.

When Jia Yuan married his wife at the end of his life, in order to provide for his two brothers to study, the wife he married was able to plow the fields and cut firewood when he went up the mountain. The only shortcoming was that he was illiterate and could not go to the hall.

Jia Yuan's wife made contributions to the Jia family and gave birth to a good son, Jia Daishan, who was smart, studious, capable of both literature and martial arts.

After Jia Yuan got rich, he took in countless beautiful concubines, but he didn't have a bad conscience to abandon the chaff.

The old Duke’s wife lived a good life until her hair turned gray, but she ended up suffering from splints.

When the mother-in-law was young, the mother-in-law was in charge of the house. When the mother-in-law was old and the father-in-law passed away, it was her turn to be the hostess and host the show.

As a result, the mother-in-law disliked her for being illiterate, so she directly passed her and let her grandson and daughter-in-law take over the middle class of the government.

The Duke's wife was so angry that he had worked so hard to care for his husband and teach his children, and he was just about to enjoy a few days of hard work all his life, but it turned out that the Shijia girl picked the peaches, and his heart was very unbalanced.

The mother-in-law can still suppress her while she is alive. Although her mother-in-law's family is not a scholarly family, she runs a grocery store on the street.

Regardless of personal talent or status, they all suppressed her.

Later, when Jia Daishan's grandmother passed away, Mrs. Lao Guogong began to assume the prestige of her mother-in-law, because Jia's mother was unbalanced when she was in charge of the family. When Jia's mother was pregnant with Jia Zheng, she took Jia's pardon and raised her herself.

Jia's mother disliked her mother-in-law, who was a country woman at heart, and couldn't stand Jia Dai's filial piety. Knowing that his mother had suffered from the splint all these years, it was not easy, so she handed Jia Amnesty over to her mother to be raised.

From the age of three to ten, Jia She lived with his grandmother.

The old lady pulled out the chrysanthemums and peonies in the flower garden in the yard, and planted radishes, vegetables, lentils and broad beans.

Jia She doesn't like reading, but likes to roll in the dirt with her grandmother.

Learn a whole set of rural habits: go up trees to catch birds, go down rivers to catch fish, eat without washing your hands, and drink water from rivers and wells.

Naturally, Mother Jia couldn't understand it.

She hoped that her son would study and practice martial arts, so that he could imitate his father in the future and be proficient in martial arts and martial arts.

Therefore, there are countless frictions with the mother-in-law.

Once, the two of them were in a hurry to talk, and there were sparks in the quarrel.

The old lady of the old country tore up Jiamu's old background: "Ha, your great-grandfather was just a bastard. Your grandfather was a slave in the Yamen. There was a famine that year, and he couldn't afford three meals. Your grandfather was dizzy and fainted after chasing thieves. At the door of the house, I gave a taro and ate even the skin, and the well water drank up after the animals drank it, so it's your turn to be so poor and particular?"

Mother Jia was so angry that she almost gave birth prematurely.

Mother Jia insisted on going back to Jia Amnesty, and Mrs. Guo Guogong wanted to pack up her things and go back to her hometown, saying that it would be better to go back to her hometown to farm the land than to be despised by others and eat cheap food.

In the end, Mother Jia had to kneel down and admit her mistake.

The most abominable thing is that Jia Amnesty has learned how to pretend to be a tiger.Once Jia's mother taught him a lesson, he would sue his grandmother.

Mother Jia could not avoid being scolded by her mother-in-law again.

In desperation, Jia's mother simply ignored Jia Amnesty and devoted herself to cultivating Jia Zheng.

When Lao Gao died, Jia She was already ten years old, and his habits had already been formed.At the age of studying and practicing martial arts again, the family hired a tutor, and he moved directly from Rongqing Hall to the study in the front yard.

The time spent with Jia's mother is limited.

There were only a few times when mother and son got together, but Jia Amnesty found that his mother favored his younger brother, and what he did wrong, he became more and more unwilling to get close to Jia's mother.

Jia Zheng called Jia Mu's mother since she was a child. She is well-behaved, obedient, and loves to read. She is gentle and personable.

Jia Amnesty has always called Jia Mu his wife.

He behaves rudely, speaks vulgar and dull words, and does not listen to instruction.

Even if Jia Amnesty was later mentioned by Jia Daishan and learned etiquette and rules under the guidance of his master, it is still very different from Jia Zheng!

Shi Mei sorted out the gap between Jia's mother and Jia She's mother and son, and sighed endlessly.

No wonder Mother Jia didn't want to live with Jia Amnesty for the elderly.

Such a troublesome son dangles in front of him every day, he is afraid that his life will be shortened by a few decades, so what is the talk of enjoying his life in peace!

Not to mention Jia's mother, most mothers would not like such a stubborn child who does not seek to make progress.

Shi Mei lamented that it was not easy for Mother Jia and her son.

Mother and son are at odds with each other all their lives.

In the end, the whole mansion fell apart and disappeared.

Fortunately, all of this is the owner's personal pain, and has nothing to do with Shi Mei.

For Shi Mei, Jia's amnesty and Jia Zheng's support for her to settle down in ancient times, she must make good use of these two forces!

The minister is not secret!

Shi Mei quickly understood this wise saying!

Jia Amnesty soon found out about Jia Mu's secret meeting with the second room and the couple despite the eldest room.

But today Shi Mei thought that Jia Daishan's funeral would be in three days.

After the funeral, the family will go to the family temple to observe mourning for a hundred days.

Shi Mei decides to return home with her family to observe filial piety, and use these three years to take good care of their brothers.

Shi Mei thought about convincing his brother first, telling Jia She not to rush to the Ministry of Rites to go through the formalities of inheriting the title.Tell Jia Zheng not to go to the Ministry of Officials to accept the official title of gift.

One more thing, Shi Mei is not allowed to leave the capital without authorization as an imperial order.

Therefore, if Shi Mei wants to return to her hometown to observe her filial piety, she needs to write a letter to the empress to ask for an order.

Shi Mei first went to Jia Zheng to ask about their brother Ding You.

Jia Zheng said, "I'm so heartbroken. The day after my father died, my elder brother and I wrote Ding You's book, and entrusted elder brother Jing to hand it over. I think there will be news in the next few days."

Shi Mei nodded: "There is one more thing. I want to return home. Although I don't need to report to the Ministry of Rites, I have to report to the empress. You write the essay for me, and I still let you elder brother Jing submit it for me."

Jia Zheng was a little surprised, it wasn't like this discussion before!

However, thinking about Wang's stupid move, the mother changed her mind, and it would be a good thing to take Wang back to her hometown for a few years to teach her a lesson, lest she get carried away and cause trouble for the family.

Just three days ago, Wang Ziteng was transferred to the Beijing suburban garrison as the commander, directly responsible for the security of the capital.

This shows that His Majesty's trust in the Wang family has increased to a higher level.

At this thought, Jia Zheng didn't ask, and responded directly: "Mother, don't worry, the son will write when he returns."

Shi Mei said: "I have another idea, and I need your approval. Of course, you can disagree, and I don't blame you!"

Jia Zheng hurriedly said: "Mother, please tell me if you have something to do, and my son will obey you."

Shi Mei nodded: "Your father gave His Majesty two papers on his deathbed, one for your eldest brother, and one for your kindness. His Majesty has sent a message to Dai Quan, saying that he is aware of your situation and will take care of it properly." placement."

Jia Zheng burst into tears: "It's all because the son is unfilial, dragging my father to worry about me."

Shi Mei said: "Your father is a loving heart. However, I don't want to wipe out your father's life just like a fifth-rank and sixth-rank official.

Donating a five-rank Tongzhi is only three thousand silver, and our family is not short of this silver.

You are good at reading books, and if you spend three years concentrating on honing your essays and asking famous teachers for guidance, you will surely gain something in the examination room.

Therefore, I want you not to go to the Ministry of Officials to accept orders, I want the old emperor to always owe our family a life, and always remember your father's life-saving grace.

I want to keep this kindness and blessing for our future generations, what do you think? "

Jia Zheng is actually of the same virtue as Wang, and he only sees what is good for him.

Jia Zheng's cheeks flushed with excitement and his eyes gleamed: "Mother really has confidence in her son's participation in the imperial examination?"

Shi Mei had read Jia Zheng's poems dedicated to Jia's mother in the past, but the level was actually limited.It also studied the ratio of the three previous imperial courts to obtain scholars.

The ratio of Jinshi subjects to Mingjing subjects is one to ten, or even higher.

Among the three times, there were 30 Jinshi for the first time, but there were 120 people in Mingjing.

In the second time, there were only 230 students in high school, and there were [-] Jinshi.

There were 280 people in the third time, and there were only fifty Jinshi.

And the youngest Jinshi is also 30 years old.It was Zhang Tingzhi, Jia Amnesty's brother-in-law.

Of course, there are also talented and beautiful jades at the age of 20, but they are rare in a hundred years, and the only fruit left.

The youngest Tanhualang in the Great Moon Dynasty was 23 years old, and he was Lin Ruhai, the son-in-law of the Jia family.

If not, Jia Daishan would not have asked the emperor for an order to rob this son-in-law who is eight years older than his daughter.

Some red scholars said that Jia Min delayed the Lin family's heir.

According to Jia Daishan's death, Jia Min's marriage was postponed for three years.

However, Lin Ruhai came out of the examination room as his body was as thin as a bamboo pole after studying and eating all night.She passed out directly at Longmen Gate, and was carried home by her family to burn into a coma. She woke up three days later.

After that, he reluctantly participated in the Qionglin Banquet, and was ill for more than a month before going to the Imperial Academy to take up his post.

Moreover, the Lin family has been handed down to Ruhai for four generations.

Therefore, the withering of the Lin family's descendants really has nothing to do with Jia Min.

No. [-] pick, No. [-] pick, there is no such thing.

Lin Ruhai is as smart as she is, she studies non-stop, and she only won the prize at the age of 23.Among them, His Majesty's preference may not be absent.After all, the ancestors of the Lin family once made great contributions to the country, but their descendants withered. It's a pity.

Jia Zheng's head is afraid that he will not be able to pass the entrance examination if he is old.

Jia Zheng later became a member of the Ministry of Industry, Wailang, and Enyin entered the job, and would arrange errands according to their specialties.Jia Zheng should have dabbled in Confucian classics and current affairs policy.

Jia Zheng responded: "All sons listen to their mothers!"

Shi Mei was very happy: "It's better to be Zheng'er, smart and filial..."

At this time, Nanny Lai tiptoed in and reported: "Madam, the uncle came back in a huff!"
