Jia Jue suddenly panicked, and hurriedly said: "No, no, it's just that your mansion was so busy yesterday, you ......"

He whispered, "We're in trouble for you." ”

But he couldn't say anything to leave them alone. They are unfamiliar with the place, and they are shy in their pockets.

He was the oldest, and he was one of the few people who came to Jia Hu in the first place, and he was responsible for these people.

At that time, Jia Hu set the standard for teenagers between six and thirteen years old, and Lin Zhixiao's list was all.

Jia Jue is not on the list.

Originally, no one took this matter seriously, because even when the six old ladies came to persuade them one by one, they also said that after Uncle Hu saw it, he would eliminate some people.

Most people have hope, but they don't dare to think about it. Such good deeds may not be their turn.

The sixth old lady and the fourth and fifth old men all have several boys, plus the people who are more talkative in the clan, and the number of people exceeds twenty when roughly calculated.

In his busy schedule, Jia Hu took the time to inspect all the people who were willing to go to the capital one by one, and selected a few young people with good qualifications, and then a few people with good intentions and intentions to further their studies, adding up to a total of nine people.

Among them, none of the six old ladies were in the family, and the fourth and fifth old men were not convinced, and they were arguing that our family couldn't do it? In the end, he was called out by Steward Lin.

The chosen ones wept with joy.

Reading changes their fate, and only by becoming a reader can they get rid of their humble life.

Jia Jue is a clansman of the same generation as Jia Hu, and his family was in good condition when he was a child, and he only had such a child, so he was sent to the academy to study.

Jia Jue is smart, and he can study quietly, and he passed the county exam at the age of fourteen, and he is also a genius who is not big or small.

It's just that people have unforeseen circumstances, and last year his father died of illness, and the family spent a lot of money on treatment. After Jia Jue's father was buried, the family did not have much money, so the mother and son had to rely on each other.

His mother doesn't know a single big character, but she also knows that "everything is inferior, only reading is high", and she smashes pots and sells iron for Jia Jue to study.

Jia Jue is a filial person, and he is reluctant to endure hardships for his mother, so he does some work in his spare time to write letters and copy books on behalf of others, barely making ends meet.

This time it had nothing to do with Jia Jue, but when Steward Lin introduced the family studies, Jia Jue listened attentively and heard that their group of people, in addition to the allowance for the top three in the exam every year, also had additional pen and ink fees every month.

It is said that it is a pen and ink fee, but it is actually a subsidy for poor students in disguise, after all, pen and ink are supplied in the school. It is calculated on a monthly basis and sent directly to the students, or it can be sent back and forth between the capital and Jinling by the Rongfu and the people who are sent to the Jinling family together with the letters.

Jia Jue was moved at that time.

It just so happened that someone united a dozen or so clansmen who were also students of the academy and ate bran vegetables at home for them to study, and were between the ages of fourteen, fifteen and sixteen, to go to Jia Hu to recommend themselves, and to persuade Jia Jue to be one of the leaders, because Jia Jue was quite authoritative among these people. Jia Jue also responded happily.

These people found Jia Hu, who was having dinner in the restaurant box, and Jia Hu was really overjoyed.

After all, the one who can find it by himself is the talent he urgently needs now.

However, he slyly did not show it, but spoke to them quite gently, expressing his mistakes and omissions, and likewise offering to examine his conduct.

Some people are indignant, can we wait for students to accept your favor, will we not reciprocate?

Others sarcastically said that Jia Hu only chose young children in order to develop them into his loyal subordinates, and did not accept them because they were too old to control them.

Jia Hu went crazy on the spot.

He pointed out a few people who found faults, pretended to say good things to him, but actually put pressure on him, and spoke with flattering expressions, and said bluntly: "Scholars must not lose their backbone, you earn a chance for yourself, although there is nothing to blame, but I am not a person who is easy to handle!" ”

He said word by word: "Is there still less favor that my Rongfu family has given to the people? Have you ever used this to coerce you into repaying your favor and inviting you to be famous? ”

It's really not, Jia Daishan disdains it, but Jia Yu doesn't need it, as for Jia Zheng, he cares more about his reputation, so naturally he won't do this kind of thing.

Jia Hu said again: "The gentleman values virtue, my father told me to choose people with noble character and outstanding character, but I don't want to raise a white-eyed wolf!" Is this wrong? ”

Everyone was dumbfounded when they said this, and several of them were even more ashamed.

Jia Hu pointed out a few people with great momentum and said: "These people, I have been looking at them coldly, but they are of good character and have not been deceived by others, but they can go to the capital with me." ”

Everyone saw that these people had no common characteristics, and it really made people guess what criteria Jia Hu was based on.

Jia Hu said that he was destined to follow up with Lai Er throughout the whole process, and his family background had already been figured out.

There were also people who wanted to speak out and say something instructive, but Jia Hu interrupted coldly: "There are only people in the world who are willing to do good deeds, and there are no people who are forced to do good deeds by others." Are you really a bully for me?! ”

The leader was young and vigorous, and he boasted that he was extremely smart, thinking that his tricks were more than enough for a small hairy child, and then he remembered the identity of the grandson of Jia Hu Guogong, and someone must be teaching in secret, and his face turned pale suddenly, and he only hated himself for being obsessed.

The others left disappointed, leaving only a few who had been named by Jia Hu and willing to accept them.

Jia Jue saw that he was the oldest, so he had to stand up and ask, "Brother Jia, when will we leave?" What are the precautions? ”

Jia Hu's expression softened, and he didn't answer, but said with a smile: "We are all surnamed Jia here, why call me Brother Jia?" I remember you, you are Jia Jue of the sixth sister-in-law's family, the same generation as me, just call me Jia Hu. ”

These two sentences suddenly shortened the distance.

Seeing that the expressions of the four of them were a little relaxed, Jia Hu said: "Steward Lin will come to you when you go back, just listen to him." He ordered a table of banquets, told Hegui to go to the checkout first, and gave them a few words of encouragement, then left them to exchange feelings and left first.

There are a total of thirteen of these teenagers, the eldest Jia Jue, sixteen years old, as well as Jia Yue, Jia Ming, and Jia Pei, all of whom were self-recommended, and only Jia Jue passed the county examination of the four.

Now, seeing Jia Hu coming, several people were a little nervous.

In addition to meeting in the restaurant, they met before getting into the carriage, and this was the third time they had seen Jia Hu.

Jia Hu smiled: "I don't need to worry about trivial matters at home, and there is nothing to trouble." - Who are you? ”

A clever boy waved the book in his hand and said, "We are talking about the Analects." ”

Jia Hu took it and flipped it over, pointed to a line of words, and said casually: "You copied it wrong here." ”

That young man is Jia Yue, fifteen years old, except for Jia Jue, he is the biggest, and he is also the most active one among the thirteen. He took the book with a hippie smile and said casually: "Brother Hu, I heard that you have memorized the four books and five classics backwards, is it true?" ”

Before Jia Hu could speak, a child of eight or nine years old who looked younger than Jia Hu listened, looked at him enviously, and sighed loudly: "Wow, didn't you save a lot of money?" You don't have to buy textbooks! ”

Jia Hu smiled.

He is already a talented person, and it is effortless to guide everyone here. Facing the hungry eyes of several people, Rao is Jia Hu didn't feel a little numb in his scalp.

Talking about dry mouth, finally at noon, they all had a meal, and after the meal, they said that they would live here for a while, and the first month of next year when the sixteen clans would start school, Jia Hu waved his hand and left without taking a cloud.

If it is in the summer, after lunch, the entire Rong Mansion is quiet, and even the maids and women guarding the door are dozing. Late autumn is more lively.

Jia Hu didn't have the habit of taking a nap, and he was worried that he couldn't write well on the boat, so he went to the study to write more than a dozen sheets of typing, and his straight writing arm was slightly sore, so he stopped writing.

When he returned to Rongfu, Lin Zhixiao was officially given to him by his grandfather, and he only obeyed Jia Hu's orders.

I don't know what Lin Zhixiao asked to do before, how is he doing now.

Jia Hu was in a trance, when he heard the return of the crane and the report that Steward Lin was coming.

Lin Zhixiao stood respectfully, lowered his head, and said, "The things that the uncle ordered, the servants have all arranged." Yesterday, the uncle ordered to find a group of craftsmen, and now they are all waiting in the Zhuangzi, can the uncle go over and have a look? “

Jia Hu was not interested in staying to watch the excitement of a minion, so he asked someone to set up the carriage and left in the carriage.

At noon, the old ladies had lunch, and when they were resting, Zhou Rui was hiding in the account room and planning to make a plate.

Today's eggs are only six yuan, and the account report is ten yuan, and he bought a total of 200 pieces; Fresh live chickens, four dollars of silver, six dollars recorded in the account, and 97 live chickens were consumed today...... In this way, there is a lot of oil and water in the kitchen!

Zhou Rui smacked his mouth, but unfortunately, the silver he picked up had to be distributed to the other people in the kitchen, otherwise......

I don't know what he thought, a stupid smile flowed from his face, he was awakened by the shouting outside the door, touched the corner of his mouth, and saliva in one hand.

"What's it called?!" Zhou Rui angrily opened the door.

The man panicked, "Zhou Rui, something happened to your family!" Your mother-in-law told you to go back! ”

Zhou Rui suddenly panicked, and for some reason that cold voice sounded in his head, "I heard that Steward Zhou has two sons?" ”

He galloped in the direction of home.
