Chapter 14: Poor Girl, Fight! (4)
After Liu's death, Hong Zhiliang was greatly grieved and was in a state of confusion all day long. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 I don't have to worry about studying, and I can't do the homework laid out by my husband, and the whole person is extremely depressed.
In this regard, Zhang's was overjoyed, and he smiled so much that there were two more crow's feet at the corners of his eyes. Hong Zhiliang, who is always more stupid and ignorant than her, is finally useless.
Falling into the well is Zhang's forte. When Hong Zhiliang was slacking off in her homework, she used silver to win over Mr. Teach, and together with her, she slandered Mr. Hong. It is said that Hong Zhiliang is not specialized in studying, and he is not suitable for taking the path of the imperial examination at all.
Zhang also pretended to be virtuous and generous, and suggested that Master Hong let Hong Zhiliang abandon literature and engage in business, saying that he had a good abacus and was sensitive to numbers, and that he might have a better way out of business.
Master Hong has two sons, the Hong family is rich, and someone must inherit his mantle and take care of the Hong family's shops and granges. Seeing that his second son had no hope of studying, he felt that Zhang's words were reasonable, and he didn't ask Hong Zhiliang, so he cut off his studies, stopped letting him go to school, and threw him to the big shopkeeper in the shop outside Hong's house, and let the big shopkeeper take him to learn how to do business and take accounts.
After that, Hong Zhiliang will stay in Hong Mansion for three or five days except for Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and Chinese New Year's Eve. The rest of the time, I rotated in various shops and granges outside, learning business knowledge from different shopkeepers and stewards.
The Zhang family cut off Hong Zhiliang's future, threw him into the ranks of merchants, and expelled him outside the Hong Mansion, not to mention how happy he was in his heart.
Seeing the concubine who had made her itchy teeth and hate for many years, solving the thorn in Liu's eye, and without the control of her mother-in-law, Zhang's only felt that the days were extremely sunny for a while, and she was more harmonious with Master Hong. Of course, in the backyard of the Hong Mansion, she has the final say.
At the same time, Hong Zhiliang learned and succeeded outside. He was already gifted, and by the time he was fifteen years old, he had taken over half of the shops and granges in the Hung Mansion, and ran them well, making them even more profitable and becoming the treasures of the Hong family.
In this regard, Zhang and Master Hong were overjoyed, and their husband and wife became more and more kind and caring for Hong Zhiliang.
Especially Zhang's. She saw that Hong Zhiliang could make money, and thought that her son had studied for many years, and even took the exam three times, and in the end, she bribed the examiner to let him win. In the future, the imperial examination is mostly hopeless. And Master Hong has been sick from hard work for many years, and his body is getting worse, and he can't take care of their mother and son for too long. carried forward his acting skills, pretended to be a kind and considerate mother, and persuaded Master Hong to let Hong Zhiliang go back to live in Hongfu and reunite their family.
After Hong Zhiliang returned home, she cared for him in all kinds of ways, and cared for him even more than her own son, which made Master Hong and Hong Zhiliang particularly moved.
Hong Zhiliang lost his mother at a young age, and returned home after wandering for many years, and was extremely warm and thoughtful by Zhang's care, and felt that Zhang's was a hundred times stronger than his cowardly mother who only persuaded him to please his father and grandmother!
Most of the money he earned outside was handed over to his mother-in-law, who was disappointed and sad because of the hopelessness of her eldest son's study, hoping that the money could heal her wounds. Usually I often go out to buy some precious silk, jewelry and jade, etc., to honor Zhang's family and make her happy.
Zhang's is indeed very happy about this.
In order to pretend to be more real, she coaxed Hong Zhiliang, a concubine, to be filial to her, and snubbed her unsuccessful biological son. Although this move made Hong Zhiliang and Master Hong very useful, it made Hong Zhishan, who had been doted on by Zhang and Master Hong for many years and was narrow-minded, angry.
Hong Zhishan therefore dislikes to study even more, he doesn't want to work hard for himself at all, and fight for his eccentric parents. He was very unhappy to see his parents in the house praising his brother and belittling him. He abandoned his books and went outside to spend all day drinking, wandering around gambling houses, theaters and flower buildings all day long.
Seeing that her relatives were so unmotivated, she didn't listen to any persuasion and scolding, so she was anxious, so she made the decision to marry her niece to Hong Zhishan, hoping that after her son got married, he would be able to make progress.
It's a pity that Hong Zhishan is stubborn, and after marrying a wife, instead of restraining himself, he has intensified, and even moved to live in a flower building and a gambling house.
The Zhang family was almost angry with this son of a crime. She was ruthless, ordered the family to tie him back to Hongfu, begged Hong Zhiliang to take his relationship, and stuffed Hong Zhishan into the best academy in Jiangsu and Zhejiang - Songlu Academy with silver.
I hope that Hong Zhishan can be edified and slowly enlightened in Songlu Academy, which is surrounded by books and full of talents. Not to mention the jinshi, give her a test and come back, and let her be a squire and an old lady.
lest every time she goes out, those official gentry wives will think that she is a merchant, look down on her, and make her unable to raise her head.
After Hong Zhishan was sent to the Songlu Academy, which was closed for teaching and had difficult and simple conditions, he made a lot of noise inside for a while at first, wanting to anger Mr. Shan Changhe and let them send him home to enjoy happiness.
It's a pity that the mountain chief and the gentlemen are used to seeing him like this, and some have a way to clean him up. Coupled with what he had done before, Master Hong and the Zhang family were greatly disappointed. The couple, who had always spoiled him, were unanimous and ruthless, turning a deaf ear to his letter of writing home and crying begging to leave the academy, and let Mr. Academy and the mountain chief toss and sharpen him.
However, in just three months, Hong Zhishan put an end to his nonsense. Although I don't study very hard, at least I stop, occasionally flip through the books, and do my homework. Although there was no progress, he was willing to study, which still made Zhang and Master Hong happy.
Zhang was very grateful to her concubine, and she helped Hong Zhiliang persuade the stubborn Master Hong, so that Hong Zhiliang successfully married his sweetheart, a small family Jasper with a stubborn illness in the teaching gentleman's family.
It's a pity that rotten wood is rotten wood after all, and no matter how good the growing conditions are, it will not become a timber.
Hong Zhishan was finally expelled from the academy for cheating many times and refusing to change his teachings. And his bad reputation has also spread all over the country, and no academy is willing to accept a rotten student with bad morals like him.
So, he could only roll up his baggage and sneak home.
……
Jing Lin saw this memory of Lian Xiang and knew that it was when the Zhang family received the news that her own son had been expelled from the academy and his reputation was infamous all over the world, so she was furious, ate and drank in despair, and drunk herself. It happened that she was serving by Zhang's side that day, and she unintentionally heard Zhang's "drunken mantra", only to know that she was so vicious and hypocritical!
Lian Xiang suddenly heard the shocking secret, and was very frightened for a while. After she went to bed that night, she went back to her small room shivering, and almost stayed awake all night. She was afraid that after Zhang woke up on the second day, he would recall it and kill her.
She was lucky after all. Zhang was overdrunk, and when he woke up the next day, he forgot everything he had said the night before. Reika thus escaped.
She is simple and kind, and she has also struggled with whether to expose Zhang's evil deeds.
But at that time, Lianxiang's deed of sale was still caught by Zhang's hands. She is timid and more afraid of death, she just wants to earn money peacefully and silently to redeem herself. After hesitating for a long time, he still buried those truths in his heart and did not tell others.
Besides, Master Hong and Hong Ershao had already been coaxed by the Zhang family and believed in her. If she rashly ran to tell them how vicious the Zhang clan was, they wouldn't believe it. will only say that she has sinister intentions, framed her master, and punished her severely in turn.
Of course, she was also afraid that she would say something she shouldn't say and be discovered by Zhang. Let her also take a handful of poison, let her completely silence her.
Seeing this, Jing Lin was very satisfied with Lianxiang's caution. If she had opened her mouth then, I am afraid that her grave would be overgrown with grass now. She didn't have a chance to retrieve her soul silk embedded in the soul of the Mercy Fragrance.
