[Red Mansion] Master Jia Dadi

"Kang——" There was a sound of heavy objects smashing into pieces from the room, seeing the maidservants' chilling appearance, Jia Zhu secretly gave a wry smile, and walked towards the main room.

"Ma'am, the uncle is here." Nanny Chen hastily reminded Mrs. Wang who was furious.

Mrs. Wang held back her anger and glanced at the ground. Nanny Chen and the other maids wisely picked up the debris on the ground.

"Ma'am." Jia Zhu stepped into the room, her gaze gliding past the smashed vase from the corner of her eyes, her eyes full of helplessness.

Mrs. Wang smiled and took Jia Zhu's hand to sit down, and sent her maid to serve tea, before she said, "Did you just finish school?"

Jia Zhu nodded: "Mr. Bai had a reunion with his classmates tonight, and left school half an hour early."

Mrs. Wang nodded. She thought that this is not the time to finish school on weekdays. It turned out that Bai Zhiming had something to do, "That's fine, take advantage of this time, and you can take a rest. I'll let the small kitchen cook your favorite dishes." .”

Jia Zhu agreed.

And Bai Zhiming was on the first floor of Chunfeng Building with his classmates. There were quite a few of his classmates, and at this time two tables were full.

Most of these literati are either secretly coquettish like Liu Qiuzhi, or they are open coquettish.Sitting together, apart from talking about some recent poems, they just chatted about recent events in the capital.

I don't know who was talking about what happened in front of the Confucius Temple today.

Although it is said that literati are relatively light, Jia Lian is young after all, and his father has a good reputation, and he worships Mr. Liu Qiuzhi, a great scholar in the dynasty, so these people praise him more than criticize him.

Bai Zhiming listened to it from the side, feeling very uncomfortable, as if sitting on pins and needles, he was drinking with his head bowed.

Suddenly someone said: "Brother Bai is working as a teacher in the Rongguo Mansion? Have you ever taught that son of Jia Shilang?"

Bai Zhiming didn't expect that he would be named. He raised his head, and everyone was looking at him. He was very uncomfortable. He didn't know whether to shake his head or nod, so he could only stammer and say that he was teaching Rongguo Mansion. Uncle Jia, who was selected as a scholar not long ago.

Everyone is not stupid. When they saw Bai Zhizhi's face, they knew that there must be some articles here. It's not enough to take it seriously, then Jia Lian joined Mr. Liu's family, and once again became famous, the fortune will be great in the future.

Bai Zhiming became more and more uncomfortable the more he sat, so he found a reason to relieve himself and let him breathe.

As soon as he left, some people who knew the inside story couldn't hold back and told what Bai Zhiming had taught Jia Lian. Of course, he didn't add any embellishments, but just told the truth.

After the man finished speaking, everyone's perception of Bai Zhizhi was very complicated. Some of the students here have also been in the Western School, so they knew that what Bai Zhizhi did was quite irresponsible. As a teacher, he teaches and educates people. , Teaching and solving doubts.In order to save trouble, Bai Zhiming turned a blind eye to Jia Lian's situation. In the eyes of these people, it was a very dishonest thing, that is, Jia Shilang was really kind and didn't care about it. Don't even think about becoming an official!

After Bai Zhiming came back, he was still drinking with his head down, but he didn't notice that everyone was gradually alienating him.Talented but not virtuous, they would be ashamed to be with him even if he was a top-ranked high school student in the future.

Prince Gong and Prince Yu also smashed a lot of things that night.

The two brothers, Tu Jin and Tu Feng, have always been at odds with each other, and it's rare for the two of them to hate someone so unanimously for the first time.

The fact that Jia Lian paid homage to Mr. Liu's door reached the ears of the saint that night. There is no secret at the feet of the emperor, not to mention that this incident happened in front of the temple of Confucius.

"It seems that Jia Shilang is good at teaching his son." The saint said with emotion.

Concubine Rong, who was pouring tea attentively, looked a little displeased, but she still smiled and said: "No, it's his luck to be able to worship under Mr. Liu."

Yuan Chun, who came up with a teacup, was startled when he heard this, the tea cover shook and made a slight noise, Concubine Rong raised her eyelids, and glanced at her lightly, Yuan Chun quickly withdrew his little thoughts, respectfully He offered the tea respectfully, and stood aside to serve him with his hands down.

The sage didn't notice this, picked up the teacup, brewed the Tieguanyin tribute from Guangdong and Guangdong this year, it was clear and elegant, and the mouth was full of fragrance, "This old man Liu is lucky, he has taken in a good apprentice."

Concubine Rong said jokingly: "Mr. Liu's ability to accept so many good apprentices is all because of His Majesty's face. If His Majesty hadn't given him face, would Mr. Liu's temper have such a great reputation?"

The sage chuckled and said nothing.Old man Liu is indeed bad-tempered, but he is also really talented, otherwise he would not have asked old man Liu to enlighten the boss.

Thinking of this, the sage couldn't help but feel a little sad.

After many years of husband and wife, Concubine Rong couldn't see that the saint was feeling sad, so she quickly changed the topic and talked about Prince Gong's eldest son. He showed a little smile, but today, the more he listened to it, the less he liked it. He always felt a burst of colic pain in his heart. After barely drinking a few sips of tea, he interrupted Concubine Rong's words, "An'er's matter is up to you and His sixth daughter-in-law should just worry about it."

Concubine Rong closed her mouth wisely, held up the glazed porcelain kiln tea cup, and gently brushed the tea foam with the tea lid, looking calm and breezy.

The sage thought for a while, and waved to Wu Xun: "Since Jia Shilang's son has joined Mr. Liu's family, I might as well give him a name, and it can be regarded as a little bit of disrespect for that old man Liu."

Yuan Chun's expression was almost frozen, and his fingers holding the tea tray were almost tense. Men's characters are usually bestowed by their elders at the crowning ceremony. The sage bestowed characters on Lian'er, which is undoubtedly to praise Jia Lian. Today, he Since he joined Liu Qiuzhi's sect and received the words bestowed by the sage, his future achievements cannot be underestimated!You must know that a single brick dropped in the capital can hit seven or eight dignitaries, how can a saint recognize each one of them, but with the characters bestowed by the saint, it is different, everyone has to pay three respects wherever they go.

Yuan Chun barely gritted his teeth, why did all the good things fall on Da Fang!

Although Concubine Rong doesn't like Rongguo Mansion, she also knows what to say and what to do at this time, and said with a smile on her face: "Since His Majesty has bestowed the child with calligraphy, the concubine will also be a bonus and reward him with a pair of four treasures of the study." , I hope he will study well, don't disappoint His Majesty's expectations."

Wu Xun replied yes, and took the things from Concubine Rong.

He was about to turn around and go, Concubine Rong rolled her eyes, caught a glimpse of Yuan Chun's expression, and said suddenly: "Speaking of which, I happen to have Mrs. Jia's niece in this palace. It's a pity that I've been learning the rules these days. How about Let her go back home to meet her parents."

The sage glanced at it, and said without exception: "You can arrange this kind of thing."

Concubine Rong smiled and nodded, her eyes turned around Yuan Chun, Yuan Chun's heart skipped a beat, and after thanking the grace, she followed Wu Xun and left the palace.

The palace gate has already been keyed, but Wu Xun had His Majesty's orders, so he naturally left the palace smoothly all the way. Along the way, Yuan Chun thought about how he should take this rare opportunity to talk to his parents. Not long ago, she had a hard time After spending money, Concubine Rong relaxed her mouth a little. Who knew that Concubine Rong would treat her with noses and eyes instead of eyes when she turned around, and even detained her in the palace and prevented her from going out. He also used the family background of the Rongguo Mansion to persuade the Concubine Rong, I am afraid that he will really be rubbed in this deep palace for the rest of his life.

This opportunity, you have to grasp it well!A cold light flashed in Yuan Chun's eyes, and seeing Prince Gong, not only would she have hope for the rest of her life, but her father's official career would also be smoother. In the future, if her elder brother was admitted as a Jinshi, even if their second wife was separated from the Rongguo Mansion, they would be no worse than the elder brother. Bad room!And now the eldest uncle seems to be in full bloom, but both Prince Yu and Prince Gong have been offended by him. It was okay when the saint was there, but when the saint is gone, the eldest uncle has no choice but to die!

Having made up his mind, Yuan Chun finally had a smile on his lips.

Seeing that the Rongguo Mansion was getting closer, her heart jumped with joy. As long as she talked to her father and mother, their second wife's bright future is just around the corner!

Wu Xun is old and mature, let alone immersed in the palace for many years, how can he not know that Yuan Chun came out this time with intentions, but for the sake of Concubine Rong, he also turned a blind eye.

The masters of Rongqingtang, Rongxitang, and the East Courtyard were still asleep at this time. Jia's mother was worried, and Jia Amnesty was thinking about sending Liu Xiu to Liu Qiuzhi tomorrow, while Jia Zheng in the East Courtyard The couple were too angry to sleep.

The door of the night watch was stunned when he heard the sound of horseshoes coming towards the Rongguo Mansion. After a closer look, the person sitting immediately was not the father-in-law in the palace. He didn't recognize Wu Xun, but Rongguo Mansion. Anyway, it's a rich and powerful family, and the family welcomes and sends them off every day, so it's impossible to see things without a little vision.

The doorman stood up in a panic, not sure whether the person coming from the palace was a good thing or a bad thing, so he saw a person getting off from the sedan chair behind him, and looked intently, it was clearly the eldest girl from their house who had entered the palace!

Some of the sects were flustered, some were happy, and some were clever enough to go inside to reply. Whether it was an announcement of good news or bad news, the masters of the mansion had to come out to greet anyone coming from the palace.

Yuan Chun stood still in front of the gate of Rongguo Mansion, looking at this familiar yet unfamiliar mansion, his eyes couldn't help sore, and he clenched the handkerchief tightly.

"The eldest girl and the father-in-law in the palace are waiting in the hall?" Mother Jia sat up from the couch in shock when she heard the boy's reply outside, and called for Tassel repeatedly to change her clothes.

In the east courtyard, Wang Shi and Jia Zheng received the news from front to back. Both husband and wife were refreshed. The eldest girl came out with the father-in-law in the palace. What could have happened?

Jia Amnesty dismissed the young man who came to deliver the message, but this young man was smart enough to reply only after he had asked the father-in-law.

Jia Lian had already fallen asleep, and today he and Liu Qiuzhi's master-student status has been decided, but it is still not official, and tomorrow they have to perform the apprentice ceremony according to the ancient rituals, and this will be considered a real success, in order to leave Liu Qiuzhi tomorrow. For the next good impression, Jia Lian rested early and was awakened from a half-dream, still a little ignorant.

"Father, what's the matter?" Jia Lian rubbed his sleepy eyes and tried to pull himself together.

Jia Amnesty patted the top of his hair: "Good thing, you boy, luck is better than your father." Few people can share such a good thing as getting the characters from a sage, except for those princes and grandchildren, Jia Lian can be said to be only one.

Jia Lian let out an ah, with a dazed expression, and followed Jia She into the hall.

They came late, Erfang and Jia Mu had already received Wu Xun and other father-in-laws in the hall. When Mrs. Wang met Jia Yuanchun and her mother, they couldn't help but hold hands with tears in their eyes.

Wu Xunzheng talked to Jia Zheng all the time, and at his position, at most he only needed to treat people like the left and right ministers a little bit less. Jia Zheng, a member of the fifth rank, was not in his eyes , but——Wu Xun can be considered to have seen what it means to have no eyesight. Jia Zheng is a complete sour Confucian, his knowledge is not very good, but the temper of sour Confucianism has been learned by ten percent, and he wants to curry favor with him. Relying on his own status, looking down on eunuchs like them, it's like being a whore and setting up a memorial archway!

"Jia Shilang is here." Wu Xun was completely relieved when he saw Jia She and his son coming. He would rather chat with Jia She all night than ask Jia Zheng to say a word.

Jia Zheng couldn't hold back anymore.

Jia Amnesty cupped his hands and said, "Eunuch has been waiting for a long time."

Wu Xun helped him up with a smile, and his eyes slid over Jia Lian who was behind Jia She, "This is the son, he is indeed a good-looking talent, no wonder he can worship under the old Mr. Liu."

Jia Lian was embarrassed by the praise, and thanked him shyly.

Jia Mu and the others were wondering what Wu Xun was going to say when he came to pass on the sage's oral order. When they heard Wu Xun's words, they understood in a vague way.

Yuan Chun noticed that Mrs. Wang was holding her hand a bit stiffly. She was not happy, but Eunuch Wu is the No. 1 capable person in front of His Majesty. Yes, he patted the back of Mrs. Wang's hand reassuringly. After a few words of exhortations in a low voice, Yuan Chun stuffed the small note written hastily on the road into Mrs. Wang's hand.

Mrs. Wang hid the note and forced a smile.

After Wu Xun uttered the sage's oral oracle, everyone's expressions became more and more strange.

The expression on Jia Zheng's face instantly distorted, and he clenched his fists tightly. Since Taizu Taizong opened the dynasty, few families have received such an honor. Dafang is really lucky!

Wang's smile was a little stiff, and she forced a smile and said: "This is Lian'er's blessing. After receiving the word from the sage, you must be hardworking and diligent in the future. Don't be like the past, fishing for three days and drying the net for two days. , so as not to fall into the expectations of saints."

Wu Xun's words to Wang sounded like persuasion, but in fact they were slanderous words. He just laughed and said: "The madam has filtered it, and the young master can worship Mr. Liu at a young age. His knowledge must be getting better and better in the future." Diligent."

Mrs. Wang was speechless, she said yes, her heart felt like she had knocked over the bottle of vinegar. Her Zhu'er studied hard since she was a child, with her head hanging from the beam and her buttocks pierced. On the contrary, it was Lian'er who was so useless that he joined Mr. Liu's sect, and even got the gift of a saint. How could this be so unfair!

The handkerchief in Wang's hand was almost crumpled, and the jealousy in his eyes was clearly visible.

"I'm sorry to bother you, father-in-law, to pass on the word of mouth." Jiamu calmed down and gave Liusu a look. Tassel understood, stepped forward to salute, and quietly stuffed Wu Xun with a purse.

Wu Xun squeezed the weight in the purse, and finally there was a genuine smile on his face, "Then our family will go back to the palace first, and the girl can go too."

With tears in his eyes, Yuan Chun took Jia Mu and Wang's hands and expressed his parting feelings. After Wu Xun urged him again, he reluctantly left.

Hidden in Wang's sleeve was the note from Yuan Chun. When she returned to the east courtyard, she unfolded the note and saw that what was written in it was a heart-pounding passage. Suddenly, there was a glimmer of joy.

Nanny Chen came over with hot tea, and glanced over the note in Wang's hand without a trace. Wang hid the note calmly, and seven or eight thoughts flashed in her mind.

This is a big matter, and I have to discuss it with the master.

If it really works, the daughter will have a good home, and their second wife can get back everything that belongs to them.

The more Wang thought about it, the faster her heart beat, and the mood that had been stimulated by Jia Lian just now turned from anger to joy. Once such a thing can be accomplished, the honor and high salary will definitely not be able to escape in the future. Wouldn't it be better than the boss to work hard for those credits? How come?
