Receiving Jia Hu's refusal, the six old ladies turned black.

The third master and the fourth master fanned the flames and said: "Even if you are the grandson of the princess, you can't disrespect the clan elders, right?" Sixth old lady, if he doesn't come here in person, he won't take you seriously. ”

"Shut up!" The sixth old lady snorted.

Jia Taigong gave birth to two sons, the eldest son Ningguo Gong Jia Yan, and the second son Rongguo Gong Jia Yuan. Ningguo Gongjia gave birth to four sons, the eldest son Jia Daihua, and the other three sons are all concubines, and the sixth old lady is the youngest of them. Now that his three elder brothers have gone, it can be said that the Ningfu is in the same vein, and the six old ladies are the highest. Therefore, all the people in the clan took him as their head.

However, Jia Daishan is of the same generation as him, and the sixth old lady does not dare to show his seniority in front of him. Compared with Jia Jing, the patriarch who was born in the imperial examination a generation lower than him, it is obvious that Jia Daishan, who has a strong blood, makes him afraid. Therefore, the warning in Jia Hu's words was well received by the sixth old lady.

He didn't want to mess with this grandson who Jia Daishan had raised himself. Besides, I chose the wrong time. Who told the chief steward that the old lady didn't want to see this grandson? Jia Daishan is much more deterrent than Shi.

"Alright, let's eat. Since this meal is invited, let's wait for when he will come to the door. The sixth old lady calmed down, and then said lightly.

The six old ladies all said so, and the third and fourth masters who took the lead in the next generation had to give up.

At this time, the second master, the son of the sixth old lady, spoke, and he said unwillingly: "We don't care about the big steward?" ”

The sixth old lady said lazily: "How can we take care of other people's housework?" Let's see how Hu Ge'er responds. If he doesn't get it done and gets fooled by the big steward, what are we going to do. ”

He muttered: "Really, I wanted to say it tonight, who let him not appreciate it." ”

A few masters had no choice but to give up, eat wine and food, and be happy.

On the second day after Jia Hu arrived at the old mansion, he visited the elders in turn.

Before leaving, Jia Yu told him about the genealogy of Jinling. Lin Zhixiao also knows, and he has everything for gifts.

I went to the house of the sixth old lady with the highest rank first.

The sixth old lady happily praised Jia Hu's young talent, and gave him the guarantee book that he had prepared before. Jahu is also mainly here for it.

The rest of the old men also gave gifts in person.

After such a circle, basically the clansmen have changed their tone, Uncle Hu is really generous and polite.

What do they think? Jia Hu invited the banquet, and the rich gifts were given, and Jia Hu expressed his intention to study behind closed doors, which is not an obvious statement, he doesn't care about anything in the clan, just take the exam.

The accounts of the clan do not stand up to scrutiny. Although disappointed that Jia Hu did not renovate the chief steward of the old house, but Jia Hu was here, and the chief steward probably shrank honestly during this time, and he never appeared.

Unexpectedly, Jia Hu didn't care, it was a blockbuster if he didn't make a sound.

Within a few days, the Jia family's subordinates were bullied, and the news that the eldest young master of the Jia family was angry and rectified the subordinates spread all over the city.

On this day, having visited all the elders, Jia Hu rarely had time to continue his previous life.

When Lin Zhixiao was about to come in, Xia Yu waved his hand to him. At this time, it was the time for Jia Hu to write big characters, and no one was allowed to disturb him. Lin Zhixiao patted his head, too, he has been crazy busy these days and forgot the time.

Three moments later, Jia Hu finished writing the last stroke.

At the beginning, when I painted red, I was always unaccustomed to using a brush, I felt that it was soft and lying on my stomach, and I unconsciously used force, and the words were messy. It was only when his grandfather taught him to hang a heavy object in his right hand or to hang a calligraphy on the wall, and he mastered his strength.

After painting red, his grandfather gave Jia Hu a variety of famous calligraphy, and asked Jia Hu to choose which one he would face in the future, and Jia Hu did not hesitate to choose the thin gold body created by Zhao Ji of Song Huizong. Zhao Mengfu said: "The so-called thin gold body, the bones are beautiful, and the fun is kind." Jia Hu loves his handwriting thin, sharp and sharp, "like bending iron and breaking gold".

Jia Hu has been practicing thin gold for four or five years, and his pen and ink are magnificent and sharp, but his grandfather still says that he has not learned the essence.

"However, at your age, it is already very good to write the characters like this, how many literati have learned the thin gold body, but they have not even learned a single point of strength, and so far no one has been able to learn eight points of Song Huizong's true works." These are Jia Daishan's exact words.

Jia Hu looked at his own words, and couldn't figure out what was missing. It's a pity that Song Huizong's authentic handiwork, even his grandfather didn't have it, and he didn't have the opportunity to see it. He only used someone else's "Qin Fang Poem", which was married by his mother from his mother's family.

Jia Hu sighed and threw it away. When he was writing, he saw Xia Yu playing ghosts, and guessed that Lin Zhixiao was coming to do something, so he called him in.

Lin Zhixiao shook off the things he found neatly: "The steward of the old mansion, none of them are clean." Our family's fields in Jinling, the old lady clearly said that they would collect forty percent of the rent, and they would receive sixty percent, and now many tenants say that our Jia family is too harsh. There is also the Zhuangzi that was purchased in the past, and every year they say that the harvest is not good, but the people in the Zhuangzi say that the steward has to collect several carts of things every autumn. Also, our old house was actually rented out by this slave before, and the rent went into their pockets. Now the stewards of the old mansion, large and small, have been placed in the outer house. ”

"Even the old house dares to rent out? These people are quite bold. Jia Hu said unexpectedly, "Why didn't anyone sue Grandpa?" What about the clansmen? ”

"Everyone in the clan knows that the sixth old lady acquiesced. Those subordinates also had oil and water to take, and those who did not join the steward were all squeezed into the Zhuangzi. ”

Jia Hu laughed angrily: "The sixth old lady acquiesces? Who gave him the power to acquiesce to the old mansion of our Rong Mansion? ”

Lin Zhixiao didn't dare to make a sound.

It took a while for Jia Hu to calm down.

"Wait for me to repair a book, and you can send someone to the capital and send it to your grandfather."

"Since there is no innocent one, then all of them will be raided and sold to remote places."

"By the way, bring more people. If people outside have doubts, they will say that our Jia family cleans up moths. ”

Lin Zhixiao really took a lot of people to raid the house. Jia Hu is well versed in rumors and gossip, so he released the news in advance, and rumors also spread in Jinling City, and the Jia family was a big bully, which angered the little master from the capital.

Lin Zhixiao copied the house, and when the sixth old lady heard the news, he hurriedly ran with people and wanted a piece of the pie.

"Nephew Hu, these subordinates never take us down-and-out clansmen in their eyes, and they usually oppress us!" The third master spat bitterness at Jia Hu.

Jia Hu raised his head and asked, "What does the sixth uncle think?" ”

The sixth old lady touched her beard and said, "We don't care, but there are many people in the clan who have suffered from it. In my opinion, it is better to hand over 30% of the income from the family to the clan? ”

"I don't know when I will raid the house of my own minions, and I need to hand over my belongings to the clan."

The sixth old lady said with some embarrassment: "It's not that it's in the clan, it's just that only we know how much the clan has been pitted." It's easy to return to the clansmen. ”

Do you believe this yourself? This sentence was clearly expressed in Jia Hu's eyes.

The second master was a little impatient: "Brother Hu, my father is a clan elder, if you don't believe him, who else can you trust?" ”

Helplessly, at this time, Jia Hu didn't want to tear his face with them, so he said, "Then Sancheng." However, 20% is enough to compensate those people, and I will personally send someone to their homes. The remaining 10% is used for homeschooling. ”

"Homeschooling?" Several old men looked at each other, and the third old man couldn't help but say, "Nephew Hu, we don't have a home school here in Jinling." ”

Jia Hu said slowly, "I know. ”

Just when they were scratching their heads, Jia Hu announced a decision: "I know that there are many clansmen in Jinling who are living in difficulty, and they really can't afford to pay for studying in the academy. If there is a young man between the ages of six and thirteen, who is poor and studious, and is willing to go to Beijing with me and go to Jia's family to study, he will go to Lin Zhixiao to sign up. If it is true, when I finish the exam, I will go to Beijing with me. ”

The second master couldn't help but say, "Go to the capital to study?" And what about their families? Do you want to go with you? ”

Who lives with their children at school? Jia Hu gave him a strange look: "The family naturally stayed where they were. ”

The sixth old lady shook his head: "Brother Hu, this can't be done." If it is a teenager, it can be regarded as the labor force of the family, and I am afraid that I can't leave lightly. There are also many families who have only one child at home, so where are they willing to leave home to endure hardship. ”

Jia Hu finally glanced at him squarely, and the old man of this clan still made sense. A smile hung on the corner of his mouth, "It's up to the sixth uncle." ”

"Me?" The sixth old lady had a bad premonition.

Seeing off the clansmen, Jahuton felt relieved. Seeing the evidence collected by Lin Zhixiao for their crimes, a group of old men dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and there was a big cake painted by Jia Hu, they could only pinch their noses and obey the command of this little boy who didn't have any hair.

After going back, according to the list of poor students given by Lin Zhixiao, the six old ladies lobbied one by one, hoping that they could send their sons to study at home. To the surprise of the sixth old lady, many people were willing.

The sixth old lady's family is still passable, and several grandchildren are studying in Jiangnan Academy, so naturally they don't understand their hard work. Reading books costs money, and their own children can go to school for free, and the Rong Mansion is responsible for food, housing, textbooks, pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, where can I find such good things?

As for the parents who don't want their only son to leave home, there are them, but the son's future is more important than anything else, not to mention that he is really not talented, and if he comes back after recognizing two words, he can also find a good livelihood, right?

When you think about it this way, there is hardly anyone who does not want to.

Except for an old lady and two people who depend on each other for their lives, Jia Wu who can't bear to leave her mother.

Jia Wu is thirteen years old, and he doesn't know a few words, so it's not interesting to learn again. There is only one old lady, his mother is blind and can't do without the care of people, Jia Hu can't take special care of him alone, so he has to give up.

In this way, after the hospital examination, there were more than a dozen teenagers who returned to the capital with Jia Hu.
