Chapter 114: Digging the Foot of the Wall
picked up the person and sent it directly to the green rhyme community. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
This place, Oriental Painting Brocade has not set foot in for a year.
In fact, she also wanted to visit Ahn and her younger siblings, however, when she sent someone to summon her, she was ruthlessly refused. Even, she sent Ye Mao or Feng Yunjin to pick up her younger brothers and sisters to live in the palace, but she was simply refused.
After several times, Dongfang Huajin's heart was also cold, and he didn't pay too much attention to An's anymore. It's just that every month, Ye Mao will send grain, oil, cloth and meat and vegetables over, and she will also send her younger brothers and sisters one or two comic books drawn by herself to maintain the friendship between sisters and brothers.
However, in a year, Ye Mao still secretly brought his younger brother Dongfang Jinzhi and his sister Dongfang Mojin to the palace three times. Having lunch together and shopping together, I finally let my younger brothers and sisters not be too rusty with her eldest sister, and they still have a lot of feelings for her.
Standing at the door of the house, Dongfang Huajin handed Dongfang Zhongzhong a purse: "Father, there are one hundred taels of silver here, buy whatever you want to eat, I will also send some supplements over regularly, don't gamble anymore!" You can recuperate for five months, and then go to Huali Academy to be a master, and then bring your family over to live! By the way, Huali Academy is Huali Villa. Now, it is being rebuilt, and in three months, it will be completed! The main courtyard where I used to live will be left to you and my mother, as well as Mo Jin and Jin Zhi. ”
Dongfang Zhongzhong smiled faintly and stretched out his hand to take it: "I know, I won't gamble." ”
He also knew that his daughter only gave him a hundred taels of silver because he was afraid that he would gamble again. Therefore, he was not dissatisfied, even if he gave only one hundred taels of silver. A year of mine work has made him know how to be grateful and content.
Moreover, he is not stupid, his daughter stands at the door and does not enter, which means that the relationship between his daughter and his wife should not be very close. It's not close, and when the daughter arrives at the door, she doesn't even go in.
This problem seems to be very serious!
"Huajin, it's been hard all the way, why don't you go in and wash up, drink a cup of hot tea and go?" Dongfang Zhongzhong hesitated for a moment, but still spoke.
Dongfang Huajin categorically refused: "No, there is a carriage from the palace, and it won't take an hour to return to the palace!" ”
The carriage of the royal palace walked on the street, and when passers-by saw it, they would automatically avoid it, and no one would stop it. If there is a traffic jam, the officials in charge of patrolling the streets and the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division will quickly dredge it. The carriage of the palace has been improved by the master craftsmen of Huali Villa, and the anti-theft and shock-proof speed is much faster than that of ordinary carriages.
Dongfang Zhongzhong's eyes were very complicated, and he sighed slightly: "Okay, then you go back quickly and have a good rest." Don't worry about me, if anything, I'll send someone to you! ”
The eldest daughter's painting brocade made him very emotional, and he couldn't tell what he felt. Speaking of resentment, there have indeed been, but now it is impossible to talk about it; said that there is no resentment, it seems that it is not completely nothing, it seems that there is still a little bit of a star; said he liked it, but he didn't want to deceive himself, after all, this daughter could be said to be dead and couldn't be saved, and watched the people in the gambling house send him to the mine to work as a coolie; Speaking of pride and pride, there is indeed a little bit of it, whose daughter can be so capable and courageous, and still hold the famous King Qin in the palm of her hand, and she doesn't even have a roommate?
Let's just let the past go with the wind! He didn't want to worry about the past, and he didn't have the face to care!
In the past, he was indeed a bit of a bastard and a little confused. It's no wonder that his daughter Huajin will treat him so much, and it is indeed that he makes her feel too cold. She hates concubines and girls who have sex so much, and she hates men gambling so much, and she can go to the mine in person today and bring him back, it should be a little difficult for her.
thought that at the beginning, she could ignore King Qin because King Qin had other women. If it weren't for the emperor's marriage, it is estimated that now, she still refuses to forgive King Qin and refuses to agree to be with King Qin.
Come to think of it, she is quite tolerant of his father!
Thinking about it this way, Dongfang Zhongzhong's heart is much more comfortable and brighter. The only bit of unhappiness with the eldest daughter's painting brocade gradually dissipated and faded a lot. I believe that one day, it should completely dissipate and no trace will be found.
Cheap Dad's attitude seems to have changed significantly, and his gaze at her seems to have warmth. Dongfang Huajin couldn't help but be very surprised, but he didn't get to the bottom of it, and smiled warmly at him: "Okay, take care of Dad, if there is any difficulty, just let people go to me!" When I had time, my father took Mo Jin and Jin Zhi to live in the palace for a few days. ”
A trace of joy flashed in Dongfang Zhong's eyes: "Okay, Dad knows." Let's go back quickly, it's freezing, go back early to rest! After ten days and half a month, my father will take your younger brothers and sisters to the palace. ”
He was a little curious, why didn't the painting brocade have a Tyranny? Could it be that the mother and daughter are really incompatible? Even if Mo Jin and Jin Zhi went to live in the palace, the An family had to restrict them, and they refused to agree?
Dongfang Huajin nodded, and with the support of Song Ci, he got into the carriage. More than a dozen guards rode tall horses, guarding the carriage that was simple on the outside but very comfortable on the inside, and left quickly.
Dongfang Zhong watched the direction of the carriage in the distance, and his mood was a little heavy.
It seems that the eldest daughter does have a dislike for An's family.
Alas, what does this Ann think? Moreover, in the past year, she had never visited him in the mines, but at the beginning, she sent some clothes, shoes and socks, as well as fifty taels of silver. In addition, there was no news from her all year round.
On the contrary, every month in the year, Huajin will send his henchmen to go to the mine. He brought chickens, ducks, fish, and seasonal clothes, shoes and socks, and stuffed him with three or five taels of silver, so that he could bribe the manager of the mine so that he could suffer a little less.
Of course, he also knew very well that in fact, Huajin had already taken care of the management of the mine. Otherwise, why could he do relatively light work as soon as he went to the mine, and could live in an adobe house for four people?
When he left, he finally learned that the three tall and martial arts workers who lived together were actually the guards under Huajin. These three people left with him, and escorted Huajin back to the palace together.
So, what else doesn't he understand?
In the past year, he has actually encountered several life-threatening situations, and it was the three of them who desperately rescued each other, which allowed him to save the day. For this reason, one of them was also injured at one point. Fortunately, the three of them brought good medicine with them, otherwise, I am afraid that they would have left sequelae.
It is also because of knowing these inside stories that Dongfang is loyal to the eldest daughter, so there is no resentment. It was also because of this that his heart suddenly opened up and he figured out many things.
When An heard the news, he rushed over, and saw that his husband was fine, not only did he not lack arms or legs, but he was also in good spirits, and he was immediately full of joy and shouted happily: "Xianggong, you are back!" ”
Dongfang Zhong's eyes glanced at her sharply, his voice was faint, and he couldn't hear joy and anger: "Well, let's go in, I'm tired, I have to wash up well!" ”
After coming out of the mine, his daughter and Song Ci took him to a nearby inn and took a good bath. I shaved my beard, changed into new clothes, had a good meal, and slept beautifully. However, from the mine to the capital, it took five or six days to walk quickly. The road was dusty, but he was very tired, and now he just wanted to wash up and rest.
An Shi was a little disheartened by him, and quickly nodded: "Okay, I'll let people prepare meals and hot water!" ”
In the past year, she has not visited him once, and her heart is certain. Originally, she thought that once he went, he would never come back. Even if he can come back, he will not lack arms or legs, he will inevitably be riddled with diseases, and he will not have many days to live.
Thinking about it like this, I remembered that in the past days, he doted on his concubine, was so cold to her, and swept her face so much. So, my heart gradually became cold, and I naturally refused to travel for a few days to visit him in the barren mountains and mountains.
She had heard from the nurse who gave him clothes, shoes and socks that there were wolves and tigers in the area of the mine. The mine, enclosed with a high wall, was strong enough to withstand the beasts. However, around the mine, no one dares to walk around casually.
Because she felt that there was little hope for her husband to come back safely, she would have to be widowed and alone in the empty house for a long time to come. Therefore, she resented her eldest daughter Huajin, and only felt that this daughter was ruthless, and she didn't even care about her own father, which also caused her to have no good life.
In this way, this year, she has been ruthless and ignores her eldest daughter. even, manage a pair of children to death, and easily prevent them from coming into contact with the eldest daughter. She knows very well that the eldest daughter cares about the younger siblings below. If they are not allowed to contact the eldest daughter, the eldest daughter is estimated to be very depressed and uneasy.
This can be regarded as her mother, seeking a little justice for the father of the children. Of course, the more important thing is to get a little justice for herself! It doesn't make sense, a daughter who has a loving husband who guards her heart every day, but she, a mother, has to fall to the miserable point of being alone in an empty bed.
If Dongfang Huajin knew that she thought so, it is estimated that from now on, he would never look at her again. Originally, there was not much emotion, but for the sake of Yun Jin and Ye Mao, Dongfang Huajin was a little more attentive to her. Later, after returning to the capital, Dongfang Huajin saw that she was still a loving mother and a good person, so he paid her heart to her and treated her as her biological mother.
The premise of all this is naturally that she behaves in a way that does not make Oriental Painting Brocade annoying. As a mother, if you are not loving enough, it is difficult to tolerate Oriental Painting Brocade.
Without a motherly heart, no matter how pitiful this person is, Oriental Painting Brocade will not sympathize, let alone be kind to a woman.
After bathing and changing, sitting at the dining table, Dongfang Zhongzhong looked at An Shi, who kept serving him vegetables, and asked lightly: "How did I hear that in the past year, you have not allowed Huajin to enter the house?" ”
He had already asked the scholar about this matter, that is, his henchmen.
An Shi glanced at him with an angry look: "Hmph! Who told her to be reluctant to give money to help you pay off your gambling debts, so that you went to the mine to suffer and suffer! If God forbids you, it's hard to say whether you can come back safely! You say this dead girl with no conscience, can I let her enter the house again? Don't even think about it, if she doesn't kneel down at the gate and beg for mercy, for a day and a half, I will definitely not let her step into the house for half a step! ”
In the past year, she has not visited her husband, and her heart is very empty. I always felt that there was something wrong with her husband's gaze at her. Therefore, as soon as my eyes rolled, I thought of such a way, to practice the brocade hard, win the favor of my husband, and maybe I can get over this pass.
What she thought of was very beautiful, but Dongfang Zhongzhong listened to her words, but her heart was full of disappointment and coldness. The eldest daughter is really not good for his father, mainly because the eldest daughter can't get used to him pampering his concubine and snubs An's. Later, he caused such a big disaster that the eldest daughter could not understand.
However, the eldest daughter is very good to An's mother. Looking at the entire capital, there are not many daughters who are so good to their mothers. In comparison, what An's is doing now is really sorry for the eldest daughter's maintenance and care for her.
Moreover, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that An was very weak in front of him. Could it be that he did something sorry for him? So, apart from not visiting him, did she do anything unreliable?
Dongfang Zhongzhong's eyes were full of frost, as cold as ice and snow that could not be melted in that winter. Handsome and with vicissitudes of life, at this moment, full of sharpness and heaviness.
He smiled coldly and scolded mercilessly: "What qualifications do you have to resent the painting?" That's right, she didn't help me pay the 50,000 taels of gambling debts at the beginning, but over the past year, she has spent a lot of money in order to protect me! It's a lot of effort spent on me! ”
Speaking of this, he raised his voice abruptly, and his tone became more and more aggressive: "And you, what have you done for me?" Don't think I don't know, since you returned to the capital, how much silver has Huajin given you? As far as I know, it's no less than 20,000, needless to say, I don't know! Also, Huajin also helped you buy a grange with 300 acres of fertile land, two three-entry houses, and two prosperous shops. ”
When An Shi heard this, he couldn't help but feel numb in his scalp, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at her husband again. He actually knew all this. In this way, she didn't pay for him at the beginning, which must have left a very bad impression on him!
Sure enough, Dongfang Zhong sneered: "You obviously have the ability to help me repay my gambling debts, but you refuse to take the money out, but instead go to force the painting brocade." It's ridiculous and cruel enough for you to do this! I don't really feel that angry when you refuse to bleed, after all, human nature is selfish. However, you still have to put on a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, forcing the painting to fail, and even using this as a threat to sever the relationship between mother and daughter! ”
The more Dongfang Zhongzhong spoke, the more angry he became, and his eyes were full of coldness: "It's a pity that the painting brocade is not Yunjin, if you don't threaten her, she will obediently obey!" Not to mention that she is protected by King Qin, even if she is not the princess of Qin now, she is still just a small countryman, she will not be threatened by you! ”
I don't know why, but in his heart, there was a sudden sense of pride and pride. I didn't expect that he would have such a capable and courageous daughter if he was loyal to the East!
He felt extremely proud and proud to have such a daughter who did not let her eyebrows go.
This feeling is unprecedented!
At this moment, he was sincere, full of joy and relief to have such a daughter!
An was struck by the chill and contempt in her husband's eyes, and was paralyzed in her chair. For a long time, they were silent.
Woo woo, it seems that she will not have a good life in the future!
has no conscience, she fell out with her eldest daughter, isn't it to defend him? Woo woo, one by one, it's not a good thing, the daughter is like this, and the husband is like this! Even the two little ones, who looked at her closely, didn't look right, and the two little things often muttered together with their heads together, and when they saw her coming, they immediately stopped talking.
Yun Jin and Ye Mao were also much colder to her.
Also, there is also the son-in-law Fang Jin, who was originally very respectful and respectful to her, and he is obviously avoiding her. Every time he sends Yunjin to the Luyun Community, he doesn't come in if he can. Well, it seems that the two times I came in, it was pouring rain?
Could it be that this is a betrayal of relatives?!
Leaving the Luyun community, on the way back to the palace, Oriental Painting Brocade sighed deeply.
Crossing the door without entering, this is not what she wants.
It's just that An's attitude of refusing her to come to the door is too insistent, she can't force her in, right? Well, actually, she doesn't have to break in, as long as she insists on going in, presumably the porter won't dare to stop her. It's just, that's not interesting, it's not interesting at all!
Of course, if An is her own mother in her previous life, she must resolve the impasse with her mother as soon as possible no matter what. Let's put it this way, even if she had to kneel in the courtyard for hours, she might consider taking a look.
However, she will definitely not do the unreasonable request to kneel at the gate for a day and a half! True filial piety is not foolishness, not blind obedience.
Song Ci stretched out his hand and took her into his arms, and comforted her softly: "Don't be sad, since she doesn't want to see you, then you just don't want to see you!" There is no need to be sad, you have fulfilled your responsibilities and obligations, then you can do it! Over the years, you have helped her take care of her younger siblings, and you have done enough and done well! ”
People who are not greedy enough do not need to pay attention to it at all.
It's just that An's used to be a good one, and it was okay for the painting brocade. Now, how did it become like this? Unreasonable!
Fortunately, Dongfang Loyalty has changed a lot, and it should not cause trouble to the painting in the future. In this way, there is finally a little comfort.
Seeing that the painting brocade was not happy, he couldn't be happy.
In the future, he has to find a way to spend more time with her, and try not to go far away! When she was at home, she also tried to be kind to her to make up for the damage her parents caused her.
Thinking of this, he subconsciously hugged her again. And, with his other hand, gently patted her on the back, as if he were a child.
Dongfang Huajin's heart was warm, snuggled up to his chest, and a drop of tears fell quietly.
These are tears of happiness and tears of sadness.
How unfortunate it was that she met such a father and mother; How fortunate she was to meet such a husband. Also, a few such good younger brothers and sisters, they are sensible and obedient, rely on her and trust her, and never take the initiative to cause trouble for her.
Back at the palace, the children pounced and shouted happily: "Father, mother!" ”
I haven't seen each other for more than ten days, and the children's thoughts about their parents have reached a peak.
Ye Mao also hurriedly greeted affectionately: "Eldest sister, eldest brother-in-law!" ”
The two went to the mine to pick up people and entrusted the children to Ye Mao. During this time, Ye Mao took leave to stay at home and take care of the children. Hanlin Academy is too far away from the palace, and it takes more than three hours to come and go. Going to school every day is not very practical.
Fortunately, Song Changhui and Song Ruhui's master is also a well-educated person and used to be Tanhualang. Ye Mao stayed in the palace to study by himself, and if there was anything he didn't understand, he asked the little masters.
The two little children, who are still in the enlightenment stage, have already learned the "Three Character Classic", "Thousand Character Text", "Hundred Family Names", "Disciple Rules", "Music and Rhythm Enlightenment", and are now learning "Kindergarten Qionglin", as well as "Zengguang Xianwen".
After discussing with Song Ci, Dongfang Huajin and Song Ci unanimously decided to let their daughter Ruhui follow Changhui and study together. In the future, we will enter Huali Academy together, and what Changhui will learn, what Ruhui will learn.
The two are planning to persuade the emperor to open a women's imperial examination. In the future, let talented and courageous women get out of the small world of the back house, enter the society, become female officials, be husbands and so on.
Changhui is only thirteen years old, and when the time comes, he will take the two younger ones to go to school at Huali Academy together.
The head of Huali Academy, Oriental Painting Brocade has been invited, and it is her previous master, Master Meng. Qi Fuzi also promised her that he would go to Huali Academy to be the dean of the Qinqi, Calligraphy and Painting Academy.
Now there are thirteen masters living in the scholarly house, and nine of them have very good character and knowledge. These nine people, five of them, were also targeted by Oriental Painting Brocade and planned to dig the foot of the wall. In fact, she hoped that all nine of them would join Huali Academy, but she also knew that she couldn't go too far. Otherwise, she was worried that the mountain chief of Hanlin Academy, Master Zhuge Fenfen, that is, Zhuge Fenfen's father, would cry to the emperor.
You must know that these nine people are all the elites of Hanlin Academy.
When it comes to Huali Villa, Oriental Painting Brocade is very reluctant: "It's a pity, such a good place, transformed into a academy, I'm really a little reluctant!" However, the location of the academy is the best! ”
Song Ci nodded: "Well, it's not far from the capital, and it's shaking at Hanlin Academy." The surrounding environment is also very good. Huali Villa, there is also a back mountain, there are so many fields, it is indeed a good place. ”
According to the vision of Huajin, Huali Academy mainly recruits children from ordinary families and provides a place for work-study programs. For example: farming, chopping wood, fish farming, shopkeepers, sweepers, canteen helpers, etc. And the bad environment of Huali Villa can just meet all this, much better than Hanlin Academy!
Oriental Painting Brocade: "This place is said to have been left by the ancestors of Prince Gong's Mansion, so you don't have a pity at all?" ”
If it is transformed into a college, people will come and go in the future, and it will even become unrecognizable.
Song Ci said indifferently: "We don't live in that villa now, even Ye Mao and Xunfeng also live in the house of Shuxiangju." It's a shame to just leave it like that! Now, I can only be happy to be able to come in handy! ”
Dongfang Huajin smiled happily: "Thank you, you can understand, that's good!" ”
Ye Mao and Xunfeng don't live in Huali Villa because Huali Villa is too big, and if the two of them live there, they don't have enough guards to protect them, and Oriental Painting Brocade will definitely not be at ease. Forests, lakes, crop fields, and bushes in gardens can all be hidden. There are so many houses in the main courtyard, and it is impossible to prevent them.
In the house of the scholarly house, the Oriental Painting Brocade also left a set of small houses with two entrances for the two younger brothers to live in, which was just right. One person with a scholar, two guards, a porter, a coachman, a cook, and a rough maid-in-law who cleans. These people live in a two-entry house, which will not be crowded, and the safety is much more reassuring.
Moreover, next door, it happens to be Qi Fuzi's house.
Song Ci: "It's just that I still don't quite understand, the origin of Huali Academy, why do you want to focus on the children of ordinary people?" ”
Oriental Painting Brocade smiled slightly, and the smile was very bright: "I opened Huali Academy, I am not famous, and I am not profitable. Mainly for my father and Xunfeng Ye Mao, none of them are very suitable for officialdom. Father, I am worried that he will be used, and I am worried that he will be corrupt and take bribes, and I don't want him to set foot in officialdom again. Xun Feng and Ye Mao are both relatively pure-minded people, I don't want them to be poisoned by the competition for fame and fortune in the officialdom! As a master, after ten or twenty years, the world is full of peaches and plums, which is actually quite good! ”
"The reason why we mainly recruit civilian children is also because ordinary children are relatively pure and good, and they don't have so many weird thoughts. I don't charge much for tuition and miscellaneous fees, only one-fifth of Hanlin Academy. The homework offered will also be very different from that of Hallym Academy, and I hope to recruit enough students, so that more people can enter the academy, no longer be illiterate, and become knowledgeable people! ”
"These people, who will enter the career in the future, will definitely be much less than ordinary colleges. However, these people have learned a skill and will become the elite of society when they enter the society. For example, shopkeepers, chefs, pastry chefs, carpenters, bookkeepers, tailors, embroiderers, etc., these elite talents will play a great role in promoting the society and contribute to the prosperity of the green country! ”
In the future, these people will be the help of her children and younger siblings. In the days to come, if her children and grandchildren and relatives encounter any trouble, if a few of these people are willing to lend a hand, then her opening Huali Academy will play a great significance!
Moreover, she still doesn't believe it, ten years after the academy was opened, there is not even one percent of those who are willing to sincerely help her children and grandchildren and relatives! The size of the academy is about 1,000 students, and it is divided into a men's academy and a women's academy. The men's college plans to enroll 700 students, and the girls' college plans to enroll 300 students.
There are three stages: beginner, intermediate and advanced.
For each stage, two years of study, and a total of six years for the three stages.
In addition, there is also a class dedicated to training students for scientific examinations, that is, scientific examination classes. The students in this class continue to study after completing the advanced class. After completing the advanced class and studying for another year, you can go to the children's exam.
Master Meng, as well as Qi Fuzi, including Zhuge Fenfen and her husband Murong Yingfeng, were all shocked by her idea and sincerely admired. So, without much thought, I agreed to her invitation and decided to join Huali Villa.
For this reason, Zhuge Mountain, the head of Hanlin Academy, was so angry that he was about to go crazy!
Not for anything else, just for his daughter and son-in-law, he actually abandoned him as a father, regardless of his high salary to keep him, and resolutely planned to jump ship to a college that had not yet been built in the spring of next year!
In the spring of next year, Huali Academy will officially open.
The Oriental Painting Brocade was also handed over to Master Meng, Qi Fuzi, Zhuge Fenfen and Murong Yingfeng, each of whom had one task: that is, each person pulled a master Ali Huali Villa, and if it succeeded, one person would give a bonus of one hundred taels of silver. If you can bring in elite talents, that is, the kind of character and talent are particularly excellent, you will be rewarded with five hundred taels of silver.
"The more the merrier, the more good talents, the better!" Oriental Painting Brocade said to these four people.
Zhuge Fenfen shook his head violently: "Master of Hanlin Academy, forget it, if you dig the foot of the wall again, it is estimated that my father will cut off the father-daughter relationship with me!" ”
Master Meng also said compassionately: "Yes, Hanlin Academy, don't make up your mind." Otherwise, Zhuge Mountain Chief will probably rush to the palace and fight hard with the painting brocade! ”
Qi Fuzi also nodded violently: "That's right, so many talents have been lost all of a sudden, if Huali Academy hadn't been opened by Huali Academy, Zhuge Mountain would have made a big fuss a long time ago!" Those of us, he will definitely not let go easily! ”
He is willing to let go like this, or because Zhuge Fenfen's family lives in Shuxiangju, which is very close to Huali Academy. In addition, Zhuge Fenfen's children are also very close to the younger brothers and sisters of Huajin, just like their brothers and sisters. In this way, for the sake of his daughter, Zhuge Shanchang reluctantly cut his love.
Murong Yingfeng shook his head helplessly: "That's right, my father-in-law is probably angry, and I don't dare to see him now." Ever since I submitted my resignation application, he has been looking at me unpleasantly, and he seems to have a knife in his eyes! ”
Zhuge Fenfen laughed heartlessly: "Hey, princess, let me tell you, my father is so angry that he hasn't eaten for a day!" When he saw me that day, he directly gave me a violent shudder, and yelled at me to buy him a roast duck and a pound of pastries from Cui Ge every day, so he was willing to let me continue to call him dad! ”
"Your father is actually a very good person, otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed to the resignation of a few of you!" Oriental painting brocade can't help but be happy.
Zhuge Mountain Chief is an old naughty boy and a respectable scholar.
