Two new temporary workers were recruited that he was very satisfied with. Jia She was in a good mood, and fell asleep early after doing evening classes that night.

Early the next morning, Shan Yong took Shanzi and Shitou to wait for the servant at the gate of the east courtyard.Last night, according to Jia She's order, Shan Yong introduced the general situation of the Rongguo Mansion to Zhou Shanzi and Zheng Shitou. They heard that the old man and the second wife were at odds, and that Zhou Rui was the wife of the second wife, so they took the At the beginning, I heard that I was worried about working in Jia's mansion, and I let go of it.

After Jia Amnesty woke up and took a shower, he was thinking about how to take back the main house that should belong to him, when the old lady sent word that Mother Jia had sent someone to invite the elder.

After Jia She woke up, he only went to Rongqing Hall once. That day Jia's mother asked him for a seal, but Jia She didn't give it to him, and the mother and son broke up unhappy.Jia's mother told him not to go to pay his respects in the future, and Jia Amnesty never went there again.Today, Mother Jia sent someone to invite her again. Jia Amnesty thought about it for a while, and guessed it was because of the matter of hiring two long-term workers for herself.

When we arrived at Rongqing Hall, after Jia She had greeted him, Mother Jia glanced at Jia She and said, "Son, Mrs. Liuhou celebrated her birthday, and I went too. Mrs. Liuhou is a lucky person. After becoming a general, the mother is kind and the son is filial, and the children and grandchildren are around their knees, envious of others. But in this world, some people are blessed, and some people are not. Not only did she disobey her mother everywhere, but she was also very perfunctory in asking An."

Jia Amnesty turned his head and thought for a while, and then he remembered who the Liu family was with the help of his original body's memory.After Liu Biao, the Duke of Li among the original Four Kings and Eight Dukes, the current head of the family is Liu Fang, the first-class Viscount.Mrs. Liu Hou mentioned by Jia's mother is the mother of Liu Fang. Mrs. Liu Hou also has a second son named Liu Fu, who is the one who became a general.

Mother Jia's unreasonable remarks are naturally beating Jia Amnesty for being unfilial.But Jia Amnesty didn't answer her, but gave Jia Zheng a look and said, "Second brother, what did you do to make mother angry?"

Not to mention Jia's mother, even Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang were shocked by Jia Amnesty's shamelessness.Jia Zheng did not miss out on morning and night, only Jia Amnesty, the last time Jia's mother said a few words to him and never came to invite Ann again, and even Mrs. Xing was left behind every day.Everyone knew what Mother Jia said meant Jia Amnesty, and he had the nerve to scold Jia Zheng, shameless.

Jia Zheng also blushed, and said, "Brother, what nonsense are you talking about? I have never done anything unfilial. You haven't come to pay your respects to your mother for two days. Isn't it too impolite?"

"What do you know, I came to pay my respects the other day, and the old lady told me not to get in the way of her eyes, so as not to make the old lady angry. I didn't come to pay my respects, it was for the happiness of the old lady, naturally it is an act of filial piety. Filial piety , obedience is filial piety, if I don't come to ask Anne, I am obeying my mother's order.

You are different. My mother also said before that she would live in Rongxitang whenever she wanted any son to be by her side.Since you live in Rongxi Hall, it is your duty to serve your mother and make her happy.Today's mother is not in a good mood, of course it is because you did not serve well, and if you did not serve well, it is because you are not filial!It's just the first time, if there is a next time, don't blame the elder brother for asking for family law. "Jia Amnesty took it for granted.

Not to mention Jia Mu and Jia Zheng, even the others were stunned by Jia Amnesty's fallacies and heresies.But if you want to say that he is completely unreasonable, he has a little reason: Mother Jia did say that she would not let Jia Amnesty come to pay her respects, and she also said that she would live in Rongxi Hall whoever she wanted to serve.But if you want to say that he is right, the one who doesn't greet him is actually more filial than the one who greets him every day. Who can accept this statement?

"Brother, you...how can you be so reasonable, how can you be so reasonable." Jia Zheng can't say no to Jia She, why let him pretend to be a gentleman, and the whole Rongguo Mansion says Jia She is a scoundrel?Scoundrels can talk nonsense all they want, but a gentleman must be reasonable and rational.Jia She can't be as nonsense as Jia She, arguing indiscriminately, and tying hands and feet when arguing.Jia Zheng felt like he was fighting with Jia Amnesty, who was tied hand and foot and used both hands and feet, scratching his hands and biting his mouth, not to mention how aggrieved he was.

"Jia Enhou, let me ask you, what happened to the two long-term workers you hired yesterday, and the monthly salary is so high? People like us naturally don't care about the monthly salary, the important thing is the rules! There is no such thing. It is a precedent, let’s make a point today, and it will be the beginning of chaos in the future, how can you change the rules set by the ancestors casually?" Jia Mu interrupted the younger son's words, and asked Jia Amnesty directly.

Jia's mother really didn't care about the few months' money, but she didn't allow Jia Shen to hire people at will without even telling her. , out of her control.

Jia Amnesty guessed that Mother Jia asked him to come here for this purpose, and replied truthfully: "It is true. The two long-term workers are both natives of the capital. They live in Nanwa Village outside the South Gate. Duty is much better than some servants in our family who are bullying, cheating, stealing and playing tricks. I have made a clear investigation a long time ago, and it is my idea to invite two people to do long-term work."

Everyone thought to themselves: Jia Amnesty has lost his mind and gone crazy. I don't know how he was deceived by two poor ghosts, so he belittled his own slaves and elevated two people of unknown origin.

"No! Our family only buys slaves, and we don't hire anyone to do long-term work. If the two of them want to stay, we can follow the ancestor's rules, sign a contract of sale, and start as a third-class slave." Jia's mother refused to budge.

Jia Amnesty looked up at Mother Jia, and suddenly smiled very innocently. "Mother's words are serious? Regardless of the first and second householders, you are not allowed to hire people, only slaves?"

Seeing Jia She's smile, Jia's mother thought that Jia Zheng's house also hired a long-term worker, but Jia She took advantage of it, and Jia She came here to deliberately mess around, and looked at Jia Zheng with a guilty conscience.Seeing Jia Zheng holding his head up and chest up, looking as if nothing had happened, Jia's mother reassured, "That's natural."

Jia Amnesty turned to Jia Zheng and said, "Since we want to talk about the rules, let the second brother show the personal deeds of the eight servants including Zhan Guang, Shan Pinren, and Bu Guxiu."

Shanpinren and other eight people are Jia Zheng's caretaker, each of them gets ten taels of silver a month, and does nothing, but spends all day in Jia Zheng's study, writing some sour poems and playing bad chess with Jia Zheng. .When Jia Zheng heard this, his face turned purple with anger: "What are you talking about, brother? Those eight old gentlemen are scholars and guests of my staff, so I naturally treat each other with courtesy. Everything is inferior. Only reading Gao, are they comparable to the few slaves that elder brother found in Nanwa Village? What elder brother said is an insult to gentleness, insulting to gentleness."

Jia She said with a smile: "It's just a group of disciples, all of them are thieves, what kind of scholars are they? Who are the eight people raised by the second brother who are Jinshi in the dynasty? How many people are there? A group of things to make the second brother happy It's no different from the little Yao'er behind my Lian'er, what kind of a scholar master. Since they can get twelve months' money as cleanups, the two I hired are also counted as cleanups, and they also get twelve months It’s all about money, I’ll go to the accounting office to change the registration soon.”

The women in Jia's mansion don't read books. What is the allusion about chickens and dogs, who is King Qin Zhao, and who is Meng Changjun? Jia's mother doesn't know; Jia Wang's family doesn't know either;

But the women didn't know it, but Jia Zheng knew it well.Lord Mengchang, one of the four sons of the Warring States Period.In the past, when he was sent to Qin State as an envoy, he was detained by King Qin Zhao. It was all because Meng Changjun's disciples entered the Qin camp and stole the white fox fur to offer to Zhao Wang's favorite concubine.Later, King Zhao repented and sent someone to hunt him down.It was another guest of Mr. Mengchang who pretended to be crowing chickens, which attracted all the chickens crowing together to deceive the gate of the city, and Mr. Mengchang was able to escape.Qing Ke Xianggong is a door-keeper, and door-keepers can do it like chickens and dogs, Zhan Guang, Shan Pinren and others can do it, as can Zhou Shanzi and Zheng Shitou.

Jia's mother was about to stop Jia's amnesty, but seeing that Jia Zheng's momentum was short, she said without confidence: "How can it be the same, how can it be the same?" Jia Zheng couldn't say what was different.So Jia Mu said without confidence: "Then add these two people to do long-term work in the old courtyard. Only these two people are not allowed to increase in the future."

Opening such an opening, just adding two long-term workers and wanting to send people away, that is to treat this Jia as the other Jia's pardon.But the Jia She in front of him is not the original body who is easy to fool.

Jia Amnesty refused to accept this, looked at Jia's mother and said, "Didn't the old lady just say that we should follow the rules of our ancestors? Then let's have a look at the rules. I am the eldest son of Xijue of the Rongguo Mansion, and my second brother is a worker. The head of the sixth rank. It doesn’t make sense that the number of my disciples is less than that of my second brother. Since it is in accordance with the rules, no matter what the identity of the chicken and dog, as long as he is a good citizen, no matter how high or low, I want to hire him as a disciple. It is up to me to decide the monthly rules. From the official. If the second younger brother has more followers than mine, if there is any surplus, the second room should either use the money to subsidize the monthly allowance of the followers, or wait for me to slowly find the right person to invite the followers. In short, my followers can’t Less than the second brother."

Speaking of this, Jia She pretended to raise his head to calculate, and then said: "Second brother, a sixth-rank master, has eight retainers, and I need sixteen for a first-class general. As for the servants, I will send people to my house in the future." The total monthly rate is two times higher than that of the second brother's room."

After hearing this, Jia's mother couldn't help being furious: "You! It's just nonsense. Your second brother is a scholar. He is an official in the court. He raised a few gentlemen. That's for your second brother's reference. Your second brother To be able to do something in the officialdom is to honor your ancestors. Did you spend too little money on raising a little wife? If you want to raise a bunch of cockfighting and lackeys to accompany you to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, you are ruining your ancestors’ foundation!"

Jia She was not at all interested in the beautiful concubines and pretty girls in the room, and said with a smile, "What's the point? I'll get rid of all those concubines tomorrow, or they will take care of the house, or they will be released to choose their own son-in-law. Just rewarding them with a dowry, and I will never take concubines again. Speaking of which, rewarding them with their dowry can get you out of the officialdom.

But I must hire the Qingke disciples, so temporarily change the identities of Zhou Shanzi and Zheng Shitou to Qingke, and each of them will send ten taels of silver per month to the East Courtyard together with my monthly silver.As long as one point is missing, no matter how Zhou Rui was beaten yesterday, and the second younger brother's disciples were also beaten, none of them can escape.Even if I sue before the Holy Master, there is no reason why my treatment is lower than that of my second brother. "

Speaking of Zhou Rui's beating yesterday, everyone in the room was stunned, and a trace of panic inevitably flashed across their faces.

Yesterday Zhou Rui was beaten out of thin air, and now the swelling on his face has not disappeared.In order to avoid repeating Zhou Rui's mistakes, Lin Zhixiao helped Jia Amnesty register the two newly hired long-term workers, etc., and told Mrs. Wang about it, and Mrs. Wang told Jia's mother.

At first, when Jia Mu and others heard that no one had touched Zhou Rui, he shook his head vigorously a few times, and his face became swollen. Jia Mu and others still didn't believe it.Fortunately, there were still a few young men in the accountant's room at the first time. These young men saw the situation with their own eyes, and Jia's mother and others heard it. There was still a fear of pretending not to come, and Jia Mu and Jia Wang couldn't help but not believe it.

Jia's mother wanted to refute Jia Amnesty's words, but Jia Zheng came out in a hurry and said, "Arguably, the younger brother can't surpass the elder brother. Since the elder brother says so, let's do as the elder brother says."

Jia Zheng is not used to common affairs, and he doesn't know how many long-term workers can be hired with 160 taels of money per month. He only remembers meeting Jia She on Ningrong Street that day. I was kicked by someone, and I looked back, but there was no one behind me. I asked my easy-going boss and the driver, and they said they didn't see anyone kicking me.Later, Jia Zheng showed Aunt Zhou his buttocks, and there was indeed a bruised footprint on it.

So when he heard that Zhou Rui was beaten out of thin air, Jia Zheng must have taught him a lesson before, but now he was the first to believe it, without any doubts.

Mrs. Wang heard that Jia Zheng had agreed, and couldn't help feeling a pain in her flesh.Where is this about the monthly silver of the sixteen clean-ups?I don't know how much the second house of Jia's family received over the long house. In the future, Jia She used this as an excuse to increase expenses, and I don't know how much money he would have to pay from the officials.Jia Wang's regards all the money in the officialdom as the second wife's pocket. Isn't this Jia Amnesty stealing her second wife's money?

Besides, as Jia She said just now, the cost of the long room will be [-]% higher than that of the second room in the future. Thinking that Mrs. Xing, a small woman, will surpass her, Jia Lian is higher than Jia Zhu, and Yingchun is higher than Yuanchun. How can Jia Wang be willing?She cares about money, and even more about her status in Rongguo Mansion!

The author has something to say:

Next, I will take back the custody of the baby in a not-too-long space, and continue to encounter supernatural events after taking it back.

This Wendou Erfang face-slapping and monster spawning upgrade are interspersed.

Explain why the women in Jia’s mansion don’t read books: First, Mother Jia. Later, when visiting the Grand View Garden, there was a couplet on the pavilion. Mother Jia asked Shi Xiangyun to read it to her. For recreational activities, it is reasonable to infer that Jia's mother does not study;

Mrs. Wang is the daughter of the Wang family, and Wang Xifeng does not study, so it is reasonable to push the older Mrs. Wang not to study;

Mrs. Xing is the daughter of a small official's family. In order to fill in the house for Jia Amnesty, she married with the whole family's belongings. There is no description of Mrs. Xing's culture in the book. It is reasonable to infer that Mrs. Xing does not study.

Women in Jia's mansion, starting from Sichun, "can read a few words, don't be blind", and in a sense they can't be regarded as reading.At that time, reading refers to reading the Four Books and Five Classics, and governing the country. Lin Daiyu said, "I have just read the Four Books. What books are the sisters reading?"

Later, Jia Baoyu asked Lin Daiyu what books she was reading, and Lin Daiyu replied: "I have never read it, I only went to school for a year, and I must know a few words." It can be seen that at least in the eyes of a scholarly family like the Lin family, literacy does not count as having read books. Yes, you have to read serious books like the Four Books and Five Classics to count as reading.According to this standard, is it unfair to say that the women in Jia's mansion don't study?Not wronged.

Let’s talk about the first eighty chapters of Dream of the Red Chamber, except when Lin Daiyu entered Jia’s mansion, Jia’s mother said, “I don’t need to go to school today” (according to Lin Daiyu’s standard, the previous year’s schooling is not counted as studying), and Jia’s daughter was studying. description?No, the daughters of the Jia family were raised in the Grand View Garden, and the sisters were all self-taught about what they were interested in.

So much so that later Lin Daiyu sighed: I grew up so big, and no one taught me (I won’t read the original text, that’s what it means), which proves that the Jia family really didn’t ask girls to be properly educated by female gentlemen.

The girls in Jia's family are all well-qualified, even the most cowardly Jia Yingchun can also play Go, which is a sport with a high IQ.If Jia's daughter was studying, she wouldn't let Xue Baochai, a merchant girl, drop her book bag and preach, and step on her head.After all, she is the daughter of the government.

Because several readers raised objections to the sentence 'the women of Jia's family don't read books', the author specially came back to make a long-winded one.If you disagree, please disagree. Everyone has their own interpretation of Dream of the Red Chamber. The above is only the author's personal understanding. At the same time, the author respects everyone's different opinions.
