The one hundred and seventy-sixth time Uncle Guo
When Jia Lian returned to Jiafu, the happiest were none other than Mrs. Xing and Wang Xifeng. Jia Lian didn't have time to see them, so he went to Mrs. Jia's house first.
Mrs. Jia also asked about the funeral of her daughter and son-in-law, but she did it all in one sentence, and asked how to settle Gusu's property, Jia Lian's mind changed sharply: "The patriarch of the Lin clan said that my uncle has no heirs to inherit, so he took back the clan and added it as a sacrificial field to prepare for the cost of sacrificial supplies." ”
Mrs. Jia almost vomited blood when she heard this, and then listened to Jia Lian: "It's my aunt's dowry, when my aunt went, my uncle handed it over to my sister to take care of, but before the funeral, my sister exchanged it for silver, and I think it was 100,000 taels." ”
When Mrs. Jia heard this, wasn't it dedicated to the emperor? For a while, he was angry and annoyed, but he didn't dare to say anything more here.
In the end, Mrs. Jia had no choice but to say to Jia Lian with a cold face: "Why didn't you bring your sister Lin back?" What would it be like for her to live alone in the Lin Mansion? I don't have to say that my grandmother doesn't know how to cherish her, it's pitiful, my heart and liver are about to break! ”
Old Mrs. Jia's eyes turned red as she spoke, and she stared at Jia Lian and said, "Go back and let people say that our elders and relatives don't care about it!" is the mother in the palace, I am afraid that she will also be implicated. Seeing this, Jia Lian hurriedly explained with a smile: "Sister Lin said that she has a hot filial piety on her body now, and it is not easy to go out, and she will come to ask her ancestors to make amends when she is out of filial piety." ”
Mrs. Jia originally said that, but now when she heard Jia Lian say this, she didn't want to say anything more, and said a few words that Jia Lian was useless, and she couldn't keep the family property for Daiyu, and said that Daiyu who Jia Lian harmed is now in decline, and she complained that Jia Lian didn't send people early.
Jia Lian didn't argue, just bowed down and stood below to listen to Mrs. Jia's chatter. After a while, Mrs. Jia saw that Jia Lian did not answer, and saw that Jia Lian was covered with dust, so she also stopped talking and sent him down to freshen up.
Jia Lian went to the east courtyard again, and after asking Mrs. Xing to report her safety, he returned to Wutong Residence.
As soon as Jia Lian stepped into the courtyard, Wang Xifeng hurriedly greeted him and said with a smile: "Uncle Guo is overjoyed!" Uncle Guo has worked hard all the way. Today, when I returned to the house, the concubine prepared a glass of water and wine to dust off, I don't know if I will receive the light? ”
Seeing this, Jia Lian was very puzzled, and hurriedly asked, "What country uncle?" You tell me clearly. Wang Xifeng saw that Jia Lian was not interesting, and he was not in a hurry to explain, he only asked people to boil water and tea to serve tea.
After Jia Lian sat down in the hall, Ping'er and the maids paid homage again, and Fang personally offered tea to Jia Lian. sent all the maids, and even Ping'er retreated with interest, and Wang Xifeng carefully explained all the things in the family.
When he heard that Yuan Chun was crowned concubine, Jia Lian was already frowning, and then hearing that it was a "virtuous concubine" who had been sealed as the head of the first palace, Jia Lian had already secretly said in his heart that it was not good! His face turned pale for a while, and the sweat on his forehead kept coming out. stared at Wang Xifeng and scolded sharply: "Don't mention the words 'Uncle Guo' in the future!" ”
After Jia Lian finished speaking, he remembered that after he left, Wang Xifeng was working at home, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "How can anyone be called Uncle Guo?" That's the Queen's brother! Otherwise, Jia Lian didn't dare to say anything, so he endured it, but his face became worse and worse.
When Wang Xifeng saw Jia Lian like this, he also knew that he was anxious, so he added half a bowl of tea to him, and then said softly: "If the master doesn't let me say it, what's the use?" Will my good aunt not say it? Isn't Baoyu now claiming to be the uncle of the country? I thought, since this is called the General's Mansion in our house, there is nothing we can do with it! ”
After hearing this, Jia Lian also took a deep breath, frowned and sighed: "How good is it now!" ”
Wang Xifeng saw that Jia Lian couldn't think of a way for a while, so he comforted: "Lord has worked hard all the way, it's better to go and freshen up first, sleep and get up, and think of ideas if you can't say it, not necessarily." Seeing this, Jia Lian took Wang Xifeng's hand, held it in his palm and said, "It's hard work Feng'er." ”
Wang Xifeng's face turned slightly red and said, "What are you talking about!" Then he retracted his hand, turned around and walked out of the house, and called for hot water to be brought for Jia Lian to freshen up.
After Jia Lian freshened up, he still thought about what Wang Xifeng said, since it was the General's Mansion, then Jia Amnesty, who was the first-class army, would never be able to get out of it, and he and others would not be able to escape. But after thinking about it, I didn't come up with a way to work, and I couldn't help but become more and more worried.
After Jia Yu returned home in the evening and talked to Jia Yu about the general manager along the way, Jia Lian said worriedly: "Now it's not a way to toss from the second room, this is the general's mansion, if there is something that shouldn't be there, I'm afraid my father can't get rid of it." ”
Wang Xifeng's news that the women who stayed in the mansion all day long knew, how could Jia Yu not know about the heavenly court? But now Jia Yu can't think of any way.
Originally, the old lady was towards Jia Zheng, and later gave birth to Jia Baoyu, who was born with a vision, and held the second room more and more, and now Yuanchun has sealed the concubine position, although he and others know that the concubine position has a mystery, but in the end he can't say it!
Wang Xifeng saw that Jia Yu and Jia Lian were both worried, gritted his teeth and looked at Jia Lian and said, "I think that the current appearance of this mansion is most likely related to these slaves. The steward's business, the slaves below are getting more and more out of order, why don't I find an opportunity to take back the stewardship and rectify it ruthlessly? ”
As soon as Jia Yu heard this, his eyes lit up, and he stroked his palms and smiled: "So excellent!" So superb! Mrs. Xing was very uncertain and asked, "Can the second room hand over the housekeeping to you?" Saying that, Mrs. Xing looked at Jia Lian, who was sitting on the side and had not said a word.
Jia Lian is not silent, but he really doesn't know what to say, it is naturally excellent to have someone to manage the slaves in the house, but now the slaves in the house are so easy to manage? The cats and dogs in the elders' house are all decent, and everyone in the house has to be respected, especially Wang Xifeng's rectification?
Jia Lian shook his head but didn't say anything, Wang Xifeng couldn't help but ask, "Don't you think it's inappropriate?" Jia Lian smiled bitterly: "Feng'er just let it go, but now it's not good to say." Speaking of this, Jia Lian looked at Jia Yu as if he suddenly thought of something.
Jia Yu was looked at by Jia Lian, and couldn't help but be very confused, so he frowned and said, "If you have something to say, just say it!" What am I doing staring at my lord? ”
Jia Lian said tentatively: "What if my father finds an expatriate position and takes our family to take up the post?" I wonder if it's possible? Saying that, Jia Lian looked at Mrs. Xing and Wang Xifeng again, and then said: "If my father is not in the house, then naturally everything will not involve my father, and my father will go outside to take office, and my mother will not care about the house, so it is okay to follow." ”
After speaking, Jia Lian's own eyes lit up, and he made persistent efforts: "In this way, it is feasible for a son to follow his father to help one or two, and Feng'er naturally has to follow his son." ”
Jia Yu didn't expect Jia Lian to come up with this idea, and she was a little stunned for a while, but Mrs. Xing immediately asked, "Is it possible that the girl will also follow her to the post?" If it weren't for your uncle's business, this would have been the time to get married! Besides, don't you want all the good family business in this house? ”
Jia Lian seemed to have cleared his mind and said: "Let's not care about anything else for the time being, it won't be a matter of a day or two for my father to get a job. Father might as well go first, let's stay here and finish the marriage of the girl. ”
Speaking of this, Jia Lian looked at Mrs. Xing, and then at Jia Yu and said, "As for the family property, it's not something we can fight for if we want to, the old lady is still there." Jia Lian paused, and saw that there was no difference in Jia Yu's face, so he continued: "My son thinks, let go when it's time to let go, we don't lack food and clothing, and it's true to take good care of our own industry." ”
After Jia Yu heard this, to the surprise of Jia Lian and Mrs. Xing, he nodded and said: "Lian'er is reasonable, I am planning the errand first, and there is no vacancy at any time, Feng'er in the house will stare at it first, if you can get the housekeeping right, you will naturally take it, and you don't have to worry if you can't get it." As for the ...... industry," Jia Yu also shook his head.
While Jia Yu and his family were discussing how to deal with the next situation, the emperor listened to the report in the imperial study and learned that Daiyu had decided to take the servants between six and sixteen years old in the palace. Regardless of gender, they were sent to Gusu Linjia Academy, and they couldn't help but be curious about Linjia Academy.
Someone came to report: "The county lord said, if you read well, you will repay the deed in the future, and continue to support them to study, if you don't read well, you have to go back to the house on an errand and return the bundle with the monthly silver." The whole house rejoiced, and behold, it was alive. ”
Then the emperor heard that a number of good men had also been sent to the army, so he couldn't help frowning. He asked, "Can I keep a caretaker?" The man replied: "I left a few housekeepers in front of Master Lin, and it is said that the kung fu is good." ”
Only then did the emperor nod and said, "In this case, you should send someone to Gusu to investigate the Lin Family Academy." Let's see what this girl has done in Gusu for a few months. There weren't many of them, they just quietly retreated after receiving the order, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
The emperor couldn't help but think of what the girl had said when he had not yet ascended the throne, as well as the "Holy Grace Hall" mentioned in the "Fold", and couldn't help but become more and more interested.
That "Holy Grace Church" sounds good, in fact, it is the compulsory education in Daiyu's previous life, everyone has to study, must study, become a law, both to protect, and to force! The state, the Holy Supreme is the Holy Saint paid for it, so it was named the Holy Grace Church.
After completing their studies, students can continue to study and apply for the Guozijian examination, but more need to learn other skills. to make a living, and suggested that the emperor stipulate that those who are over thirty years old are not allowed to participate in the autumn festival, and those who are over forty years old are not allowed to participate in the spring festival. As a result, there will be no further opportunities for many old students across the country.
Daiyu explained in her heart that these students, even if they are named on the gold list, they are already dying, how can they do things for the court and the country? And these students are not qualified for all positions after passing the exam, and many positions still need to be cultivated from the bottom. Therefore, it is not beneficial for the country to be too old.
Daiyu even said: "I haven't taken the test for many times in a row, obviously my qualifications are not good, so why bother going all the way to the dark?" It's better to let them find another way to survive. As the old saying goes: Seventy-two lines are the champion! The emperor thought so!
But this matter, even if he is the emperor, he doesn't dare to say it, let alone take it seriously! When Huang Jiyun read Daiyu's letter to the emperor, he also smiled bitterly.
Now that I heard that Daiyu had set up a Lin family academy in Gusu, I can't help but wonder how Daiyu will do it. Thinking of this, the emperor had to sigh again, this girl is really smart and keen. Thinking of Mo Xuan's expression today, the emperor couldn't help but ponder. (To be continued.) )
