Winning every step of the Red Mansion

89

After completing the apprentice ceremony, the teacher's admonitions and teachings are naturally indispensable.Peng Luo happily asked, "Jia Hu, have you ever been beaten at home?"

Jia Hu tilted his head and thought about it. Although every time he got into trouble, his father said that he would expose his skin, but when he thought about it, it was just a few slaps on the buttocks.Although I asked for family law last time, I felt that I couldn't avoid it.Unexpectedly, in the end, she was only punished by the old lady for copying books.In this way, he should have never been beaten.Jia Hu replied truthfully: "Mr. Hui's words, I haven't endured it yet."

"Oh, have you never been through it before? Then you have to be careful when I am here. My title of cold-faced and strict teacher is not for nothing. Jia Hu, do you know what these students of mine call me behind their backs?"

Jia Hu was a little dumbfounded. Although he had heard of Peng Luo, he had only heard of it. When his father talked about Peng Luo, he only said that he was a good scholar and that he was a great student of his grandfather.Why did I meet today, although I don't know how knowledgeable this teacher is, but I feel that he has a strange temper, and he is suddenly happy and angry.What's more, how can a teacher ask a student if he knows what nickname the student gave the teacher?Jia Hu really felt that this teacher was different from all the masters he had ever met.

"Then let me tell you, my students call me a cold-faced evil teacher behind their backs. When studying here, if you can't memorize books, you have to type, if you don't write well, you have to type, if your handwriting is not neat, you have to type, and if you can't answer questions, you have to type." Hit. Hit when you are late for class, hit when you are distracted from class, skip class due to illness, and even trick the teacher! Jia Hu, are you afraid?" After finishing speaking, Peng Luo picked up the ruler on the table and gestured.

Jia Amnesty on the side stared blankly, no wonder this Peng Luo has such a name!As long as you make a mistake, you will be punished.This time Hu'er, the monkey cub, is afraid that he will be unlucky, usually at home he only takes a couple of photos at most, so how could he be willing to do it.But this Peng Luo seems to be a black heart, and he will definitely not show mercy.Jia She suddenly had a second thought, Peng Luo wouldn't deliberately find a reason to punish Hu'er by then.If it is true, I will go to my old father-in-law and ask his teacher to punish him.After all, Hu'er is still the grandson of the old father-in-law, so if you don't believe it, don't protect her.

After hearing this, Jia Hu shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid. If the teacher punishes you, there must be a reason for it. Learning has its own rules, and students should be punished if they don't obey."

Peng Luo listened and nodded: "In my class, I only have a rest on the first and fifteenth day of the month, and I can go home. If there are three festivals and two birthdays on weekdays, I can ask for leave. The rest should not be short of a day."

Jia Amnesty nodded, this is indeed good.My home school rests for two days every ten days, if it is every three festivals and two birthdays, it will be longer.Although Peng Luo had many rules, he was still much stricter.

"And the most important thing is that if you want to take the scientific examination in the future, you must have my permission to take the scientific examination before you can go. If I don't allow you, you can take the examination by yourself. Whether you pass or not, you are no longer my student. "Peng Luo said this while looking at Jia Amnesty.

At this moment, Jia Amnesty was a bit puzzled, let alone whether Hu'er decided to take the imperial examination in the future, why did you need your permission for this examination?If you don't allow it all the time, wouldn't it mean that you can't take the exam all the time? This is too overbearing.

Seeing Jia She's expression changed, Peng Luo said, "General Jia has objections? It's okay, if you don't agree, today it's you and me who settled the grievances that have accumulated for many years. It's okay to take Hu'er back and not be a teacher."

Jia She was stopped by what Peng Luo said out of the blue.Who knows if this Peng Luo will come to pick on Jia Hu in the future.But going back after tossing for a long time because of this is too uneconomical.

"Hu'er has the guts to say something on behalf of her father. It shouldn't be a problem. I think the teacher is doing this because he is afraid that the students will be proud. He thinks that he has studied as a famous teacher. After studying for a few years, he thinks he has some skills and will not want to make progress." Jia Hudun After a pause, she said: "Hu'er listens to the teacher. If you want to take a scientific test, you must first ask the teacher. If the teacher agrees, you will go. You should not go."

Peng Luo nodded when he heard the words, "You kid, you are smart even though you are not young, you must be stronger than many people who waste their time." After speaking, he purposely glanced at Jia She, and Jia She saw the contemptuous look in his eyes , knowing that these words were aimed at him, he heard Peng Luo suddenly change the subject: "Hu'er, if one day I had a dispute with your father, who would you protect?"

Jia Hu was a little confused, so he looked at Peng Luo and then at Jia She, "Why did the teacher argue with my father? If so, the students would help me or not at that time. Because my grandmother said that this arguing is even knowing it is unreasonable. For the sake of face, whether to help relatives or not, it’s just that he doesn’t know, which will only make the matter worse, it’s better to distinguish right from wrong, it’s easier, and he has a clear conscience. Besides, I don’t think father and teacher should have any conflicts.”

Peng Luo laughed aloud after hearing this: "That's right, it suits my heart. For the thirty rulers, the ten rulers will be exempted first. The remaining twenty will be settled at the end of the month." Said this, looking at the steward who was waiting on the side: "You take Hu'er goes down to resettle, today the brothers and sisters are complete, take him around to recognize each other, and we will study together in the future."

Jia Hu was taken aback: "Sir, Hu'er is unclear about one thing."

Peng Luo smiled and said, "I don't know where the thirty rulers came from? Just think about it, if you want me to tell you, the ten rulers are inevitable."

Jia Hu rolled her eyes: "Don't bother Mr. Hu'er, I understand. The twenty rulers should be settled at the end of the month. Hu'er will go back today and find out where the three problems of Mr. Today came from, and what is the solution."

"Sure enough, he is smart, you go with him first." After saying that, he asked Jia Hu to go with the steward. Jia Hu turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly remembered something and turned to his father and said, "Please go back to the mansion and ask the old man for your son. Madam told me that I will go to the old lady and wife to explain after Hu'er returns home on the fifteenth day. I will trouble my father this time." After saying that, he bowed again before leaving.

Seeing Jia Hu gone, Jia Amnesty felt a little bit reluctant.My well-behaved child taught others like this and was beaten and scolded.

"It's getting late today, and there will be no General Jia left in my house." Peng Luo looked at Jia She who was still a little dazed and said.

This eviction order is too straightforward!Jia Amnesty rolled his eyes, if it wasn't for Hu'er, he really wanted to go up and beat this kid up, even if he didn't have the same knowledge as him.Jia She turned around and was about to leave, but Peng Luo said again: "General Jia is returning home, please bring Hu'er's daily necessities, and it would be best to have a book boy. By the way, now you and I have become acquainted. I’ll give you a cheaper price for the daily and food expenses in the house, with a 80% discount, [-] taels is enough.”

"80 taels? If you go for 80 taels, then it's 80 taels."

"Oh, it's 80 taels in January." Peng Luo added with a smile. Looking at Peng Luo's smiling eyes, Jia Amnesty felt like an old fox squatting in front of him.Angrily, Jia She took out the 500 taels of silver ticket that Peng Luo had stuffed into him for buying an inkstone, and slapped it on the table: "I'll give it for half a year first, and I'll give you a drink for a fraction. Farewell!" , Jia Amnesty left the Peng residence without looking back.

Peng Luo put away the banknote, shook his head and said, "Why don't you know how to be funny at all? But this Jia Hu is much smarter, luckily I won't go with this Jia Enhou."

Jia She went back to the mansion in a huff, Mrs. Zhang waited for a long time, and she was finally looking forward to Jia She's return, she was naturally happy, it can be seen that she was angry, thinking that the apprenticeship was not completed.It is even more strange to see that Jia Hu is not seen behind Jia She.Could it be that Jia Hu was punished by Jia to kneel in the ancestral hall today because he failed to become a teacher?

Mrs. Zhang brought out a cup of tea, handed it to Jia She and said, "Master, have a sip of tea first. It's hot today, so let's worship the anger first. All these things are God's will, so don't be too forceful."

Jia Amnesty took the tea and drank it all in one breath, remembering that he was going to Peng's mansion, Peng Luo was even annoyed that he didn't even serve him a cup of tea, so he put the teacup on the table: "Not at all, not at all. You Hurry up and pack things for Jia Hu. Yes, and send the book boy to Peng's residence."

Hearing what Jia She said, Mrs. Zhang was taken aback. Was this Jia Hu accepted by Peng Luo?That's a good thing!But why doesn't the master look happy at all?Mrs. Zhang hesitated and did not move.

"Go clean up! Let me calm down the fire. I have to talk to the old lady later. Hu'er will be beaten and scolded by others in the future. If you don't help me, this boy will forget his father when he has a teacher. Finally But it’s that Peng Luo, who has a mind as good as a needle’s nose, and an inkstone, so why remember it for so long!” Jia Amnesty muttered to himself.Mrs. Zhang didn't say much, she poured a cup of tea for Jia She herself, packed Jia Hu's daily necessities one by one, and then asked Jia She if there was anything else she wanted to explain?

At this time, Jia Amnesty's anger dissipated, and he instructed the bookboy a few more words, and then he asked the mansion to prepare a car and send him to Peng's mansion.Seeing that Jia Amnesty had calmed down, Mrs. Zhang came to ask for details.Jia Amnesty only informed them one by one this time.

"Master, don't be angry," Mrs. Zhang said comfortingly, "my father once said that this talented person always has some vices, probably because no one is perfect. My father admired Peng Luo's character quite a bit, saying that he has integrity in major affairs, He treats his disciples with care, but he likes to tease people. My elder brother has also been teased by him before." Mrs. Zhang continued after a pause, "He accepted Hu'er today, so it can be seen that he agrees that Hu'er is a good person. Master, you don’t have to be nervous about Hu’er. As for the grievances you two had accumulated many years ago, you have settled down. Think about it, he didn’t pay for the inkstone, and our family didn’t lose it. Wouldn't it be a good thing to get the best of both worlds if you settled the old grievances with one hand?"

After hearing this, Jia Amnesty felt that what his wife said was reasonable, but why was he so angry at the Peng residence?It is estimated that this is also his vice.

Later, when Jia Amnesty reported the matter to Jia Mu, Shi Feier nodded, knowing it.This can be regarded as another boost to Dafang's lineage.Jia Hu's child, who would have died a long time ago, had such an encounter today. It seems that this fate is not a certainty, so if he seized the opportunity, he would change it.

Jia Hu joined Peng Luo's sect, Jia Zhu knew about it, and was very envious.Seeing Jia Zheng, he was also planning to seek another famous teacher for Jia Zhu.
