The Red Chamber Collection

This year, Wang Fu'an's son passed the provincial examination and became a Juren, and will take part in the second year's general examination.Among the students taught by Jia Yucun, two of them passed the college examination and became scholars.The news shocked the ruling and opposition parties.They all inquired about the origin of Jia Yucun.Some well-informed people have already salivated, explaining that this is a corrupt official who was dismissed by the old emperor back then.He was Daiyu's husband back then, and he was a well-educated man.

So many people regret it.To be a fourth-rank official as a gentleman is really overkill.I just sigh that I don't have the chance to know this person, otherwise I would hire him as a gentleman.

Lin Fu became active.Many of them came to see Daiyu.If he wanted to enroll, without Daiyu's consent, Jia Yucun would not accept it.There are even more prosperous ones who spend a lot of money to dig Jiayu Village.Jia Yucun refused all of them.Jia Yucun is very satisfied with the current life.Why do you need money? !

Daiyu also had difficult times, for example, when Yang Mingyuan came to beg Daiyu to let his grandson go to school, could Daiyu not accept him? !There are many more such cases.Daiyu discussed with Jia Yucun, and Jia Yucun said: "One sheep can be released, and ten sheep can also be released. It's just that the teaching situation of each child is different. Some children have to beat every day before they are willing to learn, and some children have to coax them to learn. , Encourage learning, and some children need to be stimulated to learn. If some parents see their children are treated differently, they will come to argue. Say good one and bad one, what should we do?"

Daiyu said: "Then you taught like this before, and you didn't see any disrespect from your parents?!"

Jia Yucun shook his head and said with a smile: "People are different. Here, they were all from the mansion, the children of poor families. Seeing that the children are going to school, the parents respect the husband very much. I only hope that the husband will be more strict. The better. The better. The better in the future. But now it’s different. The children from rich families are spoiled and can’t stand a little grievance here. The conditions in their own family are superior. They are domineering and even bullying. Instead, they are good If you want to learn, you will make a muddy mess. If you regret it at that time, it will be too late."

Daiyu smiled and said: "I was also very naughty when I was young, and I always skipped class because of illness."

"Miss is talented and has a photographic memory. It is different from them. She is a rare genius."

"It doesn't work now. The memory and reaction ability are not as good as before." Daiyu smiled and said: "Sir, this way. In addition to raising the fees for children outside, I will see which children will be accepted in the future. It is up to you, sir. I will not Participated. Firstly, I also have a reason to decline; secondly, if it is a worthy talent, Mister can also accept it!"

"Miss, that's exactly what I mean. Children are all the same. They can master their psychology and become talented. My selection criteria is to ask the parents' attitude and see their virtues. I won't accept those who don't let the children suffer. What do you think, Miss?"

"Mr. decide this matter!" Daiyu smiled and got up.Sent by Jia Yucun.

So for Jia Yucun.What a rare opportunity.There are many rich families in Suzhou city who secretly gave Jia Yucun a lot of money, hoping to accept their children.Jia Yucun refused all of them.Bad parents.Jia Yucun is determined not to accept it.Such a family is not much better for children's education.Even become a talent.It is also [-]% corrupt officials.Finally, at this age, he used Daiyu as a private school platform to save himself a good reputation.In the end, it was not worthwhile to be ruined by the children of these people.

Jia Yucun is not greedy for money because he has long wanted to do it.Daiyu has no worries about eating and drinking here, washing and cooking, and Daiyu arranges for the mother-in-law in the house to do it.Jiao Xing takes care of women's affairs.Daiyu doesn't let her meddle in housework any more because of An Ning's sake.An Ning is the princess now, her parents should always look a little bit better.This is a superficial matter.

What else can Jia Yucun ask for?Besides, Daiyu treated him so generously, if he was greedy for money in the Lin residence, then he would really be inhuman!

In the second year, Wang Yipu, Wang Fu'an's son, passed the examination again and became a tribute.Daiyu asked Jia Yucun to tutor Wang Yipu immediately, hoping that he would make persistent efforts.After the palace examination, not to mention Wang Fu'an's family, even everyone in the mansion was looking forward to the day when the rankings would be announced.

Daiyu was more nervous than ever.You know, such a reputation is such a great joy for Wang Fu'an's family and even the whole village!How bright the face of the ancestors should be.For the Lin family, it was a miracle of Daiyu's private school.How many children should be encouraged to study hard!For Jia Yucun, the meaning is even different.

Just when everyone was looking forward to it, or one day, the government came to report quickly.

"The Prince of the Lin Mansion, Yipu, passed the palace examination and won the No. 30 eight Jinshi. I am here to announce the good news." Everyone in the Lin Mansion waited and rushed to tell each other.Ping'er is busy rewarding.The person who came thanked him and kowtowed.Zicuckoo ordered the kitchen to prepare a feast.All the people in the mansion are on holiday on the second day, put aside all the things in hand, and come to celebrate this rare celebration.There are three meat dishes and one vegetable on the table, which is a rigid rule of the Lin Mansion.

There are no rules, but on the second day, every man drank so much that he staggered around.The mothers-in-law were teary-eyed and kept encouraging their children.The man was even drunk and swayed in front of his son: "Son, did you see it! You hit it! Master Wang Yipu has become an adult, and he can no longer be called by his name! I will be called Master Wang. Son, let's see what you say next." La!"

Wang Fu'an's family was crying so hard, the peach blossoms were cooking, and the tears never stopped!The mother-in-law was overjoyed and wanted to help with the cooking.Taohua cried: "Puzi passed the exam. On such a happy day, why would you come to wait on Miss?! Without Miss, there would be no Puzi today."

At noon that day, Wang Fu'an's family gathered together to kneel down and kowtow to Daiyu Qiqi to express their gratitude!In front of Daiyu, Wang Fu'an said to Wang Yipu: "You should remember that today, everything is given by the young lady. The young lady is your reborn parents. From now on, you have to honor the master well. If you forget the master one day Alright, I will be the first one to not agree to embarrassing the Lin family outside!"

"The servant will always remember, and never forget the kindness of the master! Even if he becomes a high-ranking official in the future, he will still be a servant of the Lin family! The servant kowtows to the young lady, and the servant greets the young lady!" Wang Yipu kowtowed while saying.

Jia Yucun said on the side: "You must take me as a warning, and you must not cheat for personal gain, corrupt the law. Even if you abandon your official position, you must not join forces with others. Otherwise, your end will be worse than mine. , if it wasn’t for this, he would still be wandering on the streets.”

"Students remember the teachings of the master!"

"Be a teacher for a day, and be a father for life! You have to remember the great kindness of your husband. We can't repay you. You can only work hard as an official outside. To win honor for your husband!" Wang Fu'an said again.

Seeing that it was almost the same, Jia Lian hurriedly let everyone sit down.Jia Lian arranged for Wang Yipu to sit opposite Daiyu, but Wang Yipu refused.Wang Yipu said: "This is the family banquet of the Lin family. If the elders don't sit, but the younger generation should take this position, I dare not take it. Besides, the slaves dare not sit when the master is around."

Daiyu smiled and said, "Now you are an adult. I heard from inside sources that you will go to Shandong to be a magistrate in the near future. When you get there, you must work hard. If you encounter any troubles, you can send someone back to report. As long as you Do it right. I'll make it work for you!"

Daiyu's words surprised everyone again.Wang Yipu hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Daiyu: "Master, with the master around, the slave is not afraid of anything. The slave listens to the master's teachings. If you walk upright and walk straight, the slave is not afraid of the shadow being crooked. Please rest assured, master!"

Daiyu Fang was satisfied and gave up.

Daiyu and Jia Lian sit side by side.Wang Fuan and Liu Qibiao accompanied each other, Yu Jihai and Li's guards fought horizontally, and Zijuan Ping'er sat on the side again.Wang Yipu insisted on pouring wine, and everyone had to follow him.

Everyone is drinking boisterously.There was only a burst of laughter: "I said that my brother has become a master, so I can't forget us? Why did everyone have wedding wine and leave me in the city without notifying me?! Fortunately, my news came quickly. Hurry up. It's better to be late!"

Everyone looked up and saw that Qian Qiya was rushing in.Daiyu said: "As long as you have long legs, go to Taohua's table."

"I don't want to, but I want to squeeze with Zijuan. Zijuan, let's eat a dish for two and drink wine for each of us. Don't compete with Miss!"

Everyone laughed again.While Qian Qiya was talking, she really found Zhang Dunzi and took the table crutch.He said to Wang Yipu: "Give me a glass of wine while Mr. Wang has no chance to take office. I'm afraid it will be difficult to even see your face in the future! If you have the cheek to look for you, I'm afraid you will yell and come!" Man, call this crazy woman out! I want to take advantage of this opportunity and grab a good drink! Or show it off in front of others, look, Master Wang has poured wine for me!"

Everyone laughed again.As soon as Qi Ya came, the originally lively atmosphere was made even more lively by her.Tao Hua laughed and said, "If he dares to do this, I won't recognize him as my younger brother!"

"If you don't recognize it, that's great! Who cares about you?! Master Wang, if she doesn't recognize it, I recognize you, my brother!"

Zijuan took a piece of braised pork and stuffed it into Qiya's mouth.He smiled and said: "Look at your broken mouth, why don't you let people eat?!"

"Miss, you see Zijuan bullying me, and you don't take good care of your girl! Such fat meat makes me a big fat man. How can I walk like the wind in the future!"

"Aren't you a big drinker? She feeds you meat, and you feed her wine!" Daiyu laughed.

After a lively session, the banquet ended.

"Miss, look, can you say hello and let Xiaopu come back to us as an official?" Wang Fu'an's family asked Daiyu privately.

"No." Daiyu said, "Remember, you can never let him come back here to be an official."

Wang Fu'an's family didn't understand.But it's not easy to ask.So I came to ask Jia Yucun: "Why did the lady say that Xiaopu can't come back to be an official? Please solve it with me, sir. I feel so nervous."

Jia Yucun thought for a while and said, "If he comes back, it will be difficult to be an official!"

"I don't understand this. You are familiar with our situation here, so it should be easy to do!"

"That being said, the lady is doing it for Puzi's good! Everyone has feelings, and there are many acquaintances in my hometown, as well as relatives and friends. No matter how impartial the handling is, it will inevitably be selfish. As long as you start, it will be out of control. In order to thank you It is understandable for relatives and friends to send some gifts. Human relations. But after a long time, the stalk scale in my heart will not be leveled.

For example, if he is an official here, take the young lady as an example, who do you think he will favor in a lawsuit? !Can he forget Miss' kindness?He doesn't want to be selfish, and you will definitely criticize him!Everyone will despise him!For a long time, if you have selfishness in your heart, it is unfair, and it is inevitable that you will be reported! "

"Sir, you said that, I understand! Miss is really well-intentioned! Otherwise, I would have misunderstood Miss!"

Jia Yucun smiled and said nothing more.In officialdom, he still has experience.I can understand Daiyu's intentions.

One day, Wang Yipu came to Daiyu to read.Holding the "Book of Songs", thinking of something, he said to Daiyu: "Miss, I met a good friend when I came to Beijing this time!"

Daiyu turned around and watched him continue without saying a word.

"This friend is more knowledgeable than me, and he is Tanhua!"

"Oh! That's really good! You should ask others for advice." Daiyu said inadvertently.

"I think one of his poems is really amazing! It's written in his well-thumbed Four Books!"

"Oh! Come and listen to me! Let's see how good it is!" Daiyu flipped through the book, but still didn't look up.

"Crossing the shadow of a crane in the cold pond?"

"What what?" Daiyu looked up at Wang Yipu.Wang Yipu was startled, he looked at Daiyu and muttered.

"Crossing the shadow of a crane in the cold pond, burying the soul of a flower in a cold moon!" After Wang Yipu finished speaking, he saw the astonishment on Daiyu's face, and he was a little at a loss.

"Where is he from, tell me quickly!" Daiyu said hurriedly.

Wang Yipu looked at Daiyu, and said after a long time: "Miss, Miss let me go back and get it. When he left, he left me his address, wrote it on a piece of paper, and put it at home."

"Then go and come back quickly!" Daiyu hurriedly urged.

Wang Yipu ran away.He didn't understand why Daiyu was so excited.Is it because the poem is good?Not so excited!

Wang Yipu ran to Lin's mansion in one breath and brought the address.Daiyu saw that it was a place in Anqing, Anhui.Are there old people there?Daiyu went through the people in Jia's Poetry Club, but couldn't remember who it was.Maybe it's unknown where that girl is married.This is a famous line that she and Shi Xiangyun shared back then, and everyone in the boudoir knew it.Daiyu was so excited that she told Jia Lian Zijuan Ping'er the news, and the three of them were also very excited.How nice it would be if it was really an old acquaintance!

Holding the piece of paper, Daiyu thought over and over again, and felt that it was better to ask about this matter herself!Whether this child belongs to a young lady or girl from the Jia family is still uncertain!But where this poem comes from, the truth will eventually come to light.Daiyu made up her mind and said to Wang Yipu.

"Xiaopu, follow me to Anqing immediately, and see your friend!"

Wang Yipu hastily agreed.Zicuckoo Jia Lian wants to stop.Jia Lian said: "Sister, it's so far away, I'd better go!"

Daiyu said: "For this matter, it's better for me to go. You don't know many poems about our poetry club back then. Just treat it as me going out for a trip! I have you at home, so I don't worry!"

I heard that Daiyu is going hiking.Lin Fu made careful preparations.Xiaocui, Zijuan, Cuizhu, Banzhu, Wang Yipu, Li Shiwei, and Liu Qibiao brought six guards in black.There is a quilt in the car, so you can lie down and rest.Put a lot of daily necessities, tea and snacks.Two carriages and eight horses just hit the road.

Meeting the inn, six guards took turns to be on duty at the gate of Daiyu.Daiyu couldn't even push her away.Liu Qibiao said: "Miss, this world is dangerous, and there is no telling what will happen. It's better to be careful."

Daiyu didn't bother to pay attention, so she had to let him go.Xiaocui accompanied Daiyu, and the doors and windows were closed.

The shopkeeper of the inn saw that Daiyu and his party looked like they were facing a formidable enemy, and ordered the waiters to be careful not to spy on them.

On this day, Daiyu and his party arrived at the boundary of Anqing.According to the address, I found Xiaowangzhuang all the way.Wang Yipu inquired about Wang Xie's home, went up and beat on the courtyard gate: "Is Wang Xie at home?"

He only heard a sound from the branch of the door: "Who is it?"

This voice is so familiar!Daiyu thought. L
