035 Dream of Red Mansions (9)
In front of Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang didn't dare to tell the difference, Xiaocao waited for a moment before she spoke: "This morning made me dizzy, Zheng'er, your husband and wife are now the heads of the house, go back and discuss how to deal with the aftermath of this matter, we can't let people laugh at our Rongguo Mansion for having no rules, as for the two girls found out this time, it's up to me, the old woman, to solve it for you." ”
As soon as he heard Xiaocao say that he was not feeling well, Jia Zheng panicked, and immediately found someone to ask for a doctor, and at the same time, he couldn't help but reprimand Mrs. Wang a few words.
Xiaocao was "sick", and Mrs. Wang, as her daughter-in-law, had to serve in front of the bed, and she was very tired for a few days.
Hearing the news that Xiaocao was "sick", Yingchun and Xichun both came to visit their grandmother, and the two girls were very uneasy, thinking that it was their own maiden who caused something that made their grandmother angry.
Xiaocao couldn't help but comfort them a few words, and then asked, "What are you going to do with Si Qi and Zhuhua?"
Yingchun bit her lip, as if she had made up her mind and said: "Si Qi has followed me for many years, taking charge of the big and small matters in the yard for me, and there is more merit and hard work, especially in the past, I was ignorant, she protected me, this time it was my granddaughter's poor discipline, but I also asked the old lady to look at Si Qi's loyal face, and let it fall lightly." ”
Xiaocao remembered the story she had heard before, and asked with interest, "I heard that you beat Zhou Rui's family?"
Yingchun's face turned red, and Xichun helped her sister explain: "It's Zhou Rui's family's unrelenting attitude to Si Qi and saying some unbearable faint words, that girl has a strong temperament, if she goes on by Zhou Rui's family, she may touch the pillar and die." ”
Xiaocao didn't expect Yingchun's attack to be for Yahuan this time, so she couldn't help but nod and said: "I know this girl Si Qi, it's just that her temper is too straight, she can't escape this time, after all, she was arrested and the evidence comes out," Seeing Yingchun's anxious face, Xiaocao glanced at her soothingly, "But I just took this opportunity to let Si Qi out, and she is also at an age, so you can count it as your fulfillment of her." ”
Yingchun breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't expect her grandmother to be so reasonable, and her face was full of gratitude, "Thank you old lady for making it happen." ”
Xiaocao patted the back of her hand and turned to look at Xichun, "What about you?"
Xichun is also simply, "I just put those things in the painting for my brother, my granddaughter has checked it, it's true, she is my maid, I can't let anyone wronged her." ”
Xiaocao was surprised and satisfied, thinking about the plot in the book, this Xichun felt that she had lost her in the painting, and she was desperately trying to drive her away, but now she is so maintained in the painting, it can be seen that this ice girl's heart has melted and become a normal little girl.
For the normal requirements of the granddaughters, Xiaocao of course supports it, and doesn't mind people saying that she protects her short, and what if she protects her short, anyway, she is an old lady and has the right to be willful.
She said at the moment, Si Qi is excusable but can no longer stay with the girl to serve, send out to marry on her own; into the painting to privately pass the items to punish a month's monthly money and copy ten Buddhist scriptures is counted as a punishment, the rest is not pursued, as for the collection of items for her brother, now that the road has passed, as long as you report the spring in time, it is a blessing in disguise.
And Mrs. Wang rarely appeared for a period of time after that, and after being reprimanded by Jia Zheng, she honestly stayed in the house to worship the Buddha and recite scriptures, Xiaocao didn't care about him, and only told Jia Zheng that if he had any more errands, he would go back to his hometown in Jinling, so scared that he was going to beat Mrs. Wang every three or five days.
In the autumn of this year, several children of the Jia family were sent to the examination room, Jia Lan was naturally willing, although Jia Huan was a little stage frightened, but he also knew in his heart that this was the only way he could get ahead, so he naturally did not dare to slack off.
Only Jia Baoyu is reluctant, but the grandmother is no longer favoritous, and his father almost every day examines his knowledge, and the brothers and even sisters around him also take reading as an elegant thing, in such an atmosphere, no matter how reluctant he reads, he should follow him to the examination room for a day trip.
Under Xiaocao's instructions, not only the children of the Jia family themselves, but even the children of the side branches of the clan also have a chance to end, led by Jia Zheng, if the family is really poor, there is also the support of the silver allocated from the accounts of the sect.
Many of those children are diligent and talented, and they are very grateful for the compassion of the old lady when they get such a good opportunity this time, and they have to work hard to show their kindness.
So, on the day the list was released, the Jia family actually came up with five people!
Jia Yun, Jia Rui, and Jia Qiang all got good rankings, especially Jia Yun won the eighteenth place on the B list, which is a very good result, Jia Huan hung at the end of the list, but also squeezed in.
And the most surprising thing is Jia Lan, who is silent on weekdays, but this time he won the third place on the top list in one fell swoop, and the Jia family was boiling.
Jia Zheng was happy and kind, the smile on his face almost became a standard expression, and he was kind to the little girl, and he couldn't help but smile slightly when he met the sweeping woman on the road, and even said a few words of gossip to her for the first time.
It just so happened that this mother-in-law was also a middle-aged widow, and when she saw that the old man, who had always been unsmiling, cared so much about herself, she couldn't help but blush, and secretly wondered if the old man had discovered his unusual beauty, and what special meaning did it mean to him? It was a fawn that had been bumping into him for several days.
Jia Baoyu fell off the list this time, but everyone in Jiafu, including himself, was not very surprised by this, but seeing that everyone was on the list, Baoyu suddenly felt a little lost, Jia Lan's kid has always been able to read, why are the other ones who are obviously not as good as him also hit?
Especially Jia Huan's kid is also on the list, and now everywhere he goes, he hears someone discussing this autumn festival, and the sisters and sisters talk about Jia Lan and Jia Yun's admiring tone that makes his heart sour, and even the little girl sweeping the floor in the yard talks about it with relish.
Jia Baoyu didn't think so, but there was something unpleasant in his heart, if he studied more weekdays, maybe he could be on the list, and he must be better than Jia Huan, when the time comes, Sister Feng'er, Sister Yun, and Sister Bao are hotly discussing him, and I feel proud when I think about it.
So there was a very strange thing in Rongguo Mansion, Bao Erye, who had always hated reading and going to the school the most, actually arrived at the study earlier than everyone else, and was a stick of incense earlier than the most diligent Jia Lan, and he was no longer looking around or drowsy in class, and even at night the Yihong Courtyard was brightly lit, and the attacker personally went to get the lamp oil several times, and the joy on his face could not be hidden, so he naturally would not hide the reason for the consumption of lamp oil in his yard.
As soon as the news came out, the Jia family was amazed from top to bottom, and someone specially said it to Xiaocao, she was also a little surprised, and then Daiyu was smart, and when she whispered to her one day, she got to the point.
