4. Tongling Jade

"Brother Jing, you're going to be filial this autumn, but what are your plans? Do you want to go back to the Hanlin Courtyard or seek a release? Do you want your uncle to help? Jia Daishan and his entourage were walking towards Jiajiaxue.

It stands to reason that someone should be asked to send a car, and it will take a quarter of an hour to take a carriage from Ning and Rong Erfu to Jiajia's house. It's just that Jia Daishan didn't want everyone to know, and he also wanted to take this opportunity to go outside and chat with Jia Jing and Jia Yu, so he didn't let people prepare the carriage, but walked on foot.

It's late spring, and it's neither hot nor cold. A group of three people walked on Ningrong Street and talked slowly.

Hearing his uncle's inquiry, Jia Jing said gloomily: "My nephew thinks it's better not to be an official." ”

Jia Daishan raised his eyebrows, and was about to be angry, but endured it again, "Brother Jing, what do you think?" ”

Hearing this, Jia Yu interjected: "Don't, Brother Jing, you are the only Jinshi of our Jia family, you are going to become a monk, and there is no one in our family in the court." ”

"You're going to become a monk?" Jia Daishan couldn't help it now, and scolded, "Ridiculous! You finally got a jinshi, why do you want to become a monk? ”

How did Enhou know that I had ever wanted to become a monk? Jia Jing glanced at Jia Yu in disbelief, and Jia Yu explained sneeringly, "Didn't I see that your study is full of Taoist classics......

Jia Jing was relieved.

Jia Daishan also calmed down, and scolded with a smile: "You kid, listening to the wind is rain, bluffing me." He asked Jia Jing again, "Brother Jing, why don't you want to be an official again?" But what are the difficulties in the DPRK? ”

Jia Jing shook his head again and again, but said with a wry smile: "My nephew has worried my uncle, my nephew doesn't have any difficulties, it's just that he can't get along with his colleagues." As he spoke, he said gratefully to Jia Yu: "I want to thank Enhou a lot, the brothers of the Liu family took good care of me in the Hanlin Academy." ”

Who is Jia Daishan, at a glance, you can know that this kid has been excluded. Since the Hanlin Academy is the realm of Qingliu, those literati have always looked down on the nobles, and the Jia family is the only one in it, so it is inevitable that it will be difficult to support it alone and suffer a lot. He sighed, there was nothing he could do about it.

Jia Yu doesn't think that those crooked literati are worthy of admiration, the most noble in the world are only those dragon sons and dragon grandchildren, but looking at the two dynasties, I don't know how many so-called scholarly families have broken off the inheritance, and even his future brother-in-law Lin Ruhai has not ended up with a broken son and grandson?

He opened his mouth and said, "I said Brother Jing, you just think too much, what do you have to get along with those literati?" They are pretentious, but they are just looking down on your title, and those who are really capable of entering the cabinet look down on these little tricks. ”

What my cousin said Jia Jing didn't understand, but those people wanted to stumble on you, and there were ways to do it. Jia Jing just looked at Jia Daishan, and Jia Daishan said understandingly: "Yu'er, don't underestimate those civil officials of the Hanlin Academy,—— I remember that Brother Jing has been a Shujishi for three years, right?" ”

Jia Jing nodded and said, "After leaving filial piety, it's almost time to decide where to go." ”

"Then you want to stay in the Hanlin Academy?"

After hesitating for a moment, Jia Jingcai said: "Uncle, I want to let it out, but I can't rest assured that Brother Zhen ......."

Jia Yu was stunned, and hurriedly said, "Dad, I was about to tell you, I don't know if Dad is willing to teach Brother Hu?" Brother Hu is older, and Liu and I are a little powerless......" The back disappeared silently in Jia Dai's hateful eyes.

Looking at the father and son enviously, Jia Jing felt a little unable to open his mouth, after all, his uncle was recuperating.

"Brother Jing, why don't you bring Zhen'er to your uncle too? Zhen'er hasn't taken the children's exam yet, has she? ”

Isn't! After keeping filial piety, Jia Jing checked Jia Zhen's homework and found that not only did he not grow at all, but he forgot all the things he had learned, and he was angry when he forgot what he had learned, and forced Jia Zhen to read for two years.

The three of them made up their minds, and Jia Zhen lived a life of studying with his cousin who was nearly ten years younger than him, and it was almost possible to meet Jia Zhen's miserable life after being compared to Jia Hu.

When I arrived at the home school, I saw that there were many students in the home school, and the ages were uneven, the big ones were even fifteen or sixteen years old, and the younger ones were only four or five years old, all of them were in the same classroom, and a teacher could not manage them at all. And most of them look like they have no intention of learning, most of these people are relatives of the Jia family who come to study, and they covet the pen inkstones and pastries provided by the clan for free, making the family study smoky.

I didn't expect the family study to be so unbearable, Jia Jing was a little ashamed, after all, Jia Jing was the patriarch of the Jia family. The two discussed for a long time, and finally decided to invite a few more gentlemen and make some reforms to the family school.

After they went back, Jia Daishan ordered Jia Yu to ask his wife what the Liu family's home education system was. In the next few days, Jia Daishan took Jia Yu to visit Ningguo Mansion frequently. In the end, it was already the height of summer when the home school was renovated.

The family invited three gentlemen, an old man who decided not to take the exam again, two Xiucai, plus Jia Dairu, a total of four masters. The original students were divided into two groups according to their age, and those over thirteen years old were led by Jia Dairu to continue the previous course, anyway, they would go out in a year or two. The others are divided into three classes according to the progress, namely, enlightenment, four books, and further study, and the three gentlemen each teach one class. There is an assessment once a year, and those who have passed the guò enter the next class, and they have not dropped out of school three times.

During the rectification of homeschooling, Jia Hu and Jia Zhen also met in Jia Daishan's study.

Jia Zhen is a teenager with red lips and white teeth, because he has always been under his father's nose, and he is quite honest. Seeing Jia Hu, who was only four years old, he said in an old-fashioned manner: "You are Cousin Hu, right?" I'm your big brother Jane, and I'll take care of you in the future. As he spoke, he proudly straightened his chest, obviously taught by Jia Jing.

Jia Hu thought he would meet a pervert, but when he saw it, he threw away all his previous prejudices. Maybe Jia Zhen will be in the future, but now he is still a little teenager - only a teenager, and his hair has not grown, how bad can it be?

Jia Hu also greeted Jia Zhen decently, and the two brothers sat together lovingly, whispering this, guessing how Jia Daishan would teach them.

When Jia Daishan came, he saw that the two brothers were very close to each other and whispered. He spoke up and asked Jia Zhen where he had learned, and Jia Zhen replied that he had just finished studying the Analects and was studying the Book of Songs.

Just when Jia Daishan was considering how to arrange it, Jia Hu timidly asked, "Grandfather, can I learn to practice martial arts?" ”

When Jia Zhen heard it, she also shouted to learn martial arts, and Jia Daishan really had a headache. Brother Hu is only a few years old, and his bones have not yet grown. As for Jia Zhen, she was severely drilled by Jia Daishan that morning, and she couldn't stand it anymore and didn't want to learn. Brother Hu was watching from the side, and Jia Daishan was satisfied to see that Jia Hu did not flinch, and still insisted on learning martial arts. Jia Daishan promised to teach Jia Hu when he turned six.

Jia Zhen was tired in the morning, so Jia Daishan asked him to go back first. Jia Hu had dinner with Jia Daishan at noon.

Jia Hu originally thought that his grandfather, as a national prince, would have a hearty meal, but he didn't expect it to be similar to his own. Jia Daishan saw the surprise on Jia Hu's face, and he didn't care, he touched Brother Hu'er's head and said, "Grandfather, it's easier here." If you have a favorite dish, ask them to add it next time. ”

Jia Hu hurriedly smiled: "No need, these are not much different from what my grandson eats on weekdays." It's just that the grandson thought that his grandfather was more accustomed to his wife's food. ”

Hearing the title of wife, Jia Daishan felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. This is not to blame Brother Hu, it is the Shi family who taught Jia Yu to call it so. Jia Daishan didn't think it was close enough, but Shi liked it, so he went with her.

Jia Daishan smiled and said, "That's your wife's taste, she is used to eating the dishes of the capital." Grandfather, this is Huaiyang cuisine. When people get old, they miss their hometown food. Come, Hu'er eat and watch this, I don't know if you like it or not. ”

A dish of West Lake vinegar fish was sandwiched with chopsticks and sent to Jia Hu's bowl, Jia Hu tasted it, and it tasted very good. He said shyly: "My mother said that I am not a picky eater, and I am a good child." However, the food at home is delicious, and my grandfather's food here is also delicious. ”

Jia Daishan happily gave him a few more chopsticks before stopping to eat his own. During the meal, Jia Daishan really found that this grandson eats a little bit of everything, especially likes to eat vegetables and fish.

Classes only start in the afternoon. Jia Daishan told him that they would come here at six o'clock in the morning in the future, start to endorse, and at about eight o'clock, start to write big characters, and Jia Hu was not yet ready to write (Jia Hu asked why, Jia Daishan told him that this would hurt his wrist, and when the time came, Jia Daishan would naturally assign tasks. Jia Daishan taught him to read. At ten o'clock, Jia Hu reviewed the newly learned words, Jia Daishan gave Jia Zhen a lesson, and half an hour later, Jia Zhen's class today was over. After the afternoon lunch break, Jia Daishan explained a series of enlightenment books to Jia Hu, such as "Qionglin Kindergarten" and "Zengguang Xianwen", while Jia Zhen wrote articles in the small study. Jia Zhen went back to Dongfu for dinner, and came back tomorrow morning. Jia Hu followed his grandfather to Rongxi Hall for dinner.

Some people say that there are three kinds of friendship that are the most reliable: they have been through the window together, they have carried a gun together, and they have prostituted together. Jia Zhen and Jia Hu study together every day, and the relationship between the two is also growing by leaps and bounds. After seeing Hu's cousin's intelligence and hard work, Jia Zhen didn't dare to relax, Jia Hu estimated that if his grandfather could live a few more years, Jia Zhen would not go down the wrong path.

Jia Zhen felt that every day was very tired and painful, but Jia Hu felt that every day was very fulfilling, he went back every night, and pestered Jia Yu to teach him to identify the golden stone. Jia Yu didn't say anything long, but only explained to him in detail the utensils in the room.

On this day, when it came to the jade he carried, Jia Yuyin said that the jade on his body was not a good jade, and there was a kind of warm jade, which was most suitable for people with cold bodies,...... He also asked someone to open the treasury and take out those old jades that were very old to teach him to distinguish the quality of jade. What made Jia Hu cry and laugh the most was that Jia Yu gave him a piece of jade every few days, as big as a bird's egg, as bright as a bright glow, as smooth as a crisp, and entangled with five-color patterns. The front is engraved with the seal text: Tongling Baoyu, don't forget it, Xianshou Hengchang. Seal inscription on the back: One eliminates evil, two cures unjust diseases, and three knows good and bad. It is a pirated copy of Tongling Jade. Jia Yu said proudly, this is what he ordered someone to beat, if you like it, you can bring it on your body to press the corners of your robe, and if you don't like it, throw it at the bottom of the box.

Jia Hu was shocked at the time, it turned out that Jia Yu was reborn! Jia Yu saw that Jia Hu was very moved to look at him [Great Fog], and his heart was happy. It didn't take long for him to think, no, how can my brother Hu pick up the things that the broken stones don't need? Although no one knew, Jia Yu just felt uncomfortable. He picked out another piece of fine black jade, and asked people to simply engrave the word "Hu" on the front, and watched with satisfaction as Jia Hu replaced it with this piece of jade.

However, what Jia Hu didn't know was that Jia Yu actually asked someone to carve two pieces of jade. Exactly the same material, one is "Hu", the other is "Lian".

If Jia Lian's kid pleases me, I will reward him with this piece of ink jade with the word "Lian". ╭(╯^╰)╮
