Chapter 98 Fly high
The old lady asked a few boys in the family to go to Kaoqiushan Academy, and Aunt Cui was very surprised. She thought about it for a few days, and finally figured it out. It seems that Youyi not only didn't help, but also seemed to be doing the opposite. Of course, she couldn't say such elegant words, but it probably meant the same thing anyway.
Aunt Cui felt that Youyi was sincerely working against her, just to get rid of Brother Jin completely, so as not to drag her back in the future. Thinking of this, Aunt Cui was so angry that she jumped to her feet, but she didn't dare to go to the East Cross Courtyard to find Youyi.
After enduring it for two or three days, she finally seized the opportunity and saw Youyi passing alone in the garden with the girl.
"Girl, I have something to ask you." Aunt Cui's face was ugly, and she pulled Youyi into the corner, "I asked the girl to beg the old lady and let Brother Jin go to the account room to learn some skills." It's good that the girl actually got Brother Jin out of the house all at once! The girl's heart is really more ruthless than that of the wife, and she does not leave any room for her siblings. Although Mrs. didn't want to see Brother Jin, she still tolerated Brother Jin to stay in the house, and there was never a shortage of food and drink. But the girl regards Brother Jin as a thorn in her eye, and she can't wait to get rid of it quickly!
If the girl is angry that I have caused you trouble, I swear that I will never go to her again. I begged the girl, so I let Brother Jin stay in the house. As long as the girl agrees, it will be done if I kneel down and kowtow! After saying that, he knelt down. Although this Aunt Cui doesn't have too many brains, she is good at the shrews in the market, and she is simply self-taught. She first choreographed the Youyi pass, and then pitifully begged to use such a big move as kneeling.
"Auntie, this is breaking my birthday!" Although she is just a little aunt, she is Youyi's mother anyway. She was so bluffed that Youyi jumped, and hurriedly dodged.
"Girl, slave begs for mercy." Aunt Cui saw that Youyi's attitude softened, and she became more and more inch-in. She hugged Youyi's thighs and cried and wiped away her tears.
Two girls passed by in the distance, probing their brains and gesturing towards this side. Youyi was reborn for the first time, and she was really angry for the first time. Scolding doesn't matter, there are a lot of big truths, but Aunt Cui just doesn't eat oil and salt. The key is that you can't do it yet, so that Youyi has nothing to do. In the end, it is connected to the bloodline, and if it is mixed with emotions, it is inevitable that it will not be able to cut through the mess quickly.
"Auntie, you stand up first." Youyi took a deep breath and calmed down her anger, "If you spill like this again, I really want to pull you to see the old lady without any affection." ”
Hearing the old lady's three words, Aunt Cui's body was obviously stagnant. She has been a girl by the old lady's side for several years, and she knows the old lady's decisive skill. Besides, the old lady can't see the concubine room making waves, and several of the old lady's concubine rooms were cleaned up in the early years. The old lady died early, and the concubine waited in front of the old lady more diligently than the girl, and she didn't see the slightest displeasure and laziness.
Especially the aunt who gave birth to two aunts and grandmothers, she didn't even dare to say anything casually when the old lady approached, for fear that if she didn't say anything, she would anger the old lady and cause trouble to her own girl when the time came. Later, Aunt Ma always pleaded with the fourth aunt and grandmother behind her back, and was beaten by the old lady who knew about it, so she directly found someone to sell it! was scared that the fifth aunt's mother fell seriously ill, and after she got better, she was always weak, and she died until the fifth aunt got married.
If the old lady knew that she was in trouble with Youyi, she wouldn't just kill her! Aunt Cui stood up quickly, and said as she got up: "The girl told the old lady that I definitely don't have good fruit to eat." It doesn't matter if I'm punished, other people will be laughing at the girl, so why bother? ”
"My aunt also has a time when she is smart, and this is true. Why don't I want to see Brother Jin'er have a future, my aunt's words are probably angry, otherwise she wouldn't stop me when there was no one halfway. Youyi sighed lightly and said, "Aunt is right, I asked Brother Jin to go to Kaoqiu Mountain Academy from the old lady. My purpose is to keep Brother Jin away from my aunt and away from Jinfu! ”
"Girl......" Although Aunt Cui also guessed like this, she still felt sad and sad when these words really came out of Youyi's mouth.
"My aunt will always be Brother Jin'er's mother-in-law, and Jinfu will always be Brother Jin's roots! Far away, you can only reduce right and wrong, and the bloodline foundation cannot be broken. After Brother Jin returned from his studies, my aunt would understand my hard work today and know whether this decision was correct. ”
"But ......"
"My aunt is just worried that there is no one to take care of Brother Jin'er's life outside, and she is worried that Brother Jin will go out for a few years and waste his efforts, and finally come back in disgrace." Youyi's words hit Aunt Cui's thoughts, "Brother Jin is a concubine, and if you want to go out to set up your own door in the future, you should accumulate more connections." I heard that the students of Qiushan Academy come from all over Dayu, and there are all kinds of people from peddlers and pawns to nobles and magnates.
Brother Jin can not only learn poetry, calligraphy, etiquette, eight strands and six arts, but also learn how to contact all kinds of people, which is undoubtedly a good thing for him. If you can make three or five friends, why not have a lot of contacts in the future? These are better than going to plan the plate!
I also heard that the environment of Qiushan Academy is elegant, and although you are not allowed to bring an entourage, you don't have to take care of mundane things by yourself. Meals are distributed in a common kitchen, and the rooms are cleaned by fixed people. You are allowed to go home once every half a month to change your clothes, and if you are too dirty, you can also pay money to find someone to wash it. If you don't like the food in the big kitchen, you can also spend money to let the small kitchen make another meal. In short, in Qiushan Academy, all kinds of people can live well. As long as you are willing to give money, you will be more comfortable than in the house.
Besides, this matter is decided by the old lady, and there is no room for change, and my aunt's move today is really redundant! I think my aunt should go back and worship the Bodhisattva more, and it is imperative to prepare more silver taels for Brother Jin'er! After saying that, he turned around and left.
Aunt Cui also knew in her heart that since the old lady had decided, there was no room for a turn in this matter. She was just aggrieved in her heart, and she made a fuss about Youyi, and when she heard that she was reasonable, she had to go back to burn incense and worship the Buddha. However, what she asked for was not to let Jin Ge'er be admitted to Qiushan Academy, but
Li was admitted to Qiushan Academy, but it was the opposite!
She also hinted to Brother Jin'er, saying that Qiushan Academy was difficult to examine, and the life in it was hard, so it was better not to go. But Brother Jin seems to be very yearning for going to Qiushan Academy, and in addition to eating and sleeping all day long, he is endorsing. Brother Jin also told Aunt Cui that life is nothing, and the sky will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds...... Anyway, Aunt Cui heard the clouds.
The day Brother Yu went to Kaoqiu Mountain Academy happened to be the day he entered the palace. Brother Yu kowtowed three times at the gate of the east courtyard, holding his words in his throat, and finally squeezed out a sentence, "Please be sure to wait for the masters in the palace, don't worry about the family!" ”
It was like sitting in the room, and when I heard the eunuch come in and come back, I couldn't help but turn my eyes red.
Seeing this, Mama Wang said: "The little lord is about to enter the palace, and he will become a mother when the emperor is lucky." The old slave was fortunate to wait for his mother for half a month, and he did not have this blessing when he entered the palace. Right now, the old slave has a word to give to the little master. In the harem, you can't laugh when you're happy, and you can't cry when you're sad! From now on, cut off the seven emotions and six desires, practice joy and anger are invisible, honor and disgrace are not shocked, and you can be invincible! ”
"Mention a lot, I remember!" As if he was busy holding back his tears, he got up and wanted to salute.
Mama Wang hurriedly helped her up, "The auspicious time is coming, the little lord hurry up and make up, and the carriage in the palace will come in a while." It is a good thing that the little master's brother went to Qiushan Academy to study, and he won the Toad Palace every day, which is also a big help for the little master. ”
This Wang Mama was assigned to teach etiquette and rules here, and she was reluctant to do so. She thought that she was just the daughter of a small county magistrate who had died of her father, and she was only named a beauty, and she was afraid that there was no possibility of promotion in the future, and there was little oil and water on this errand and no hope!
But when she arrived at the Jin Mansion, she found that this beauty was quiet and didn't like words, there was no gossip at all, and although she had the temperament of a little jasper, she was not stingy. Keeping oneself is the first important thing to ask for life in the palace! And I heard that this beauty is in the eyes of the Queen Mother, gentle and demure, and knowledgeable Buddhism, but the type that the Queen Mother likes. Leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade is the second most important thing in the palace to ask for life!
This beauty doesn't look clever, but she can learn the rules very quickly and steadily, although she is not very likable but not boring, although she will be favored by the emperor in the future, although she cannot be favored alone, she will not be buried if she is taken care of by the queen mother. Besides, she has good relatives, even the emperor praised the Jin family girl and gave a plaque, as the saying goes, a person gets the way chicken dog ascends to heaven, she has not yet entered the palace has already had an impression in the emperor's heart, which is a good thing.
The most important thing is that her family background is not high, and she is not a threat to the queen, as long as she abides by the rules, she can live a stable life. Her brother is not a layman, if she can enter the court as an official in one fell swoop, then her position in the harem will be more and more stable.
According to all indications, the little master he was waiting for had some potential. No matter what I say, I have a sense of teaching, although I don't necessarily get the benefits, but there will always be no disadvantages. Besides, Aunt Li has made a lot of money, and she stuffs red envelopes every three or five days, and she sends any good things to Mama Wang. After a long time, Mama Wang felt that it was much better than being in those families who looked down on people! Therefore, before entering the palace, Mama Wang was willing to give advice.
While speaking, a eunuch outside replied that the auspicious time had come, and it was as if you were moving to the sedan chair. A soft sedan car stopped at the door, as if he couldn't see his mother and others when he went out of the door, although he knew that it was the rule, he was still full of melancholy. On the sedan chair, the eunuch sang and lifted it, and when he walked near the second gate, he heard a crowd saluting and sending him off. It was as if she couldn't help but quietly open the sedan curtain and look outside, and when she saw Aunt Li and Wanrou among the others, she couldn't help but shed tears anymore.
She hurriedly let go of her hand and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. Today is a good day for her, and it is unlucky to shed tears. Aunt Li lowered her head and didn't dare to raise it at will, and she couldn't help crying when she caught a glimpse of the sedan chair past. Wan Rou watched the sedan chair go away, and helped her mother up and comforted her softly.
Feng Shi and others also said: "Why should my aunt be sad, the little master is going to the palace to wait for the emperor, which is a blessing that has only been cultivated in several lifetimes." When the little lord arrives in the palace, if he is loved by the emperor, he will allow his aunt and Wanrou to visit in the palace, and then he will be called majestic. ”
Aunt Li could only smile when she heard this, although she was ignorant, she knew that not any concubine's family could enter the palace to meet her. It's like just a little beauty, and she's more than one level away from the concubine, it's difficult! Wan Rou was concerned, her eyes were shining, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
The old lady saw Aunt Li's eyes red, and said with a smile: "The Jinli family is counted, including distant relatives and close friends, but it is the first time to be a mother!" In the past, I looked at the beauty of the little lord as a blessed person, and I didn't want my granddaughters to say that the blessings were gone. ”
"That granddaughter will pretend to be dumb from now on, and she will be drafted in three years, I don't know if she can be a mother?" Yun Yi didn't know how to joke with shame, which made everyone laugh. The sadness in Aunt Li's heart was also diluted a little, and she just thought that she had become a nobleman, and she didn't delve into anything else.
Feng prepared the next table of wine and food, and invited the troupe to the mansion to sing in the hall. Now is the time for the spring breeze to bring warmth, and a banquet is set up in the small pavilion in the garden, and a stage is set up to sing in the open space below, but it is really bright and can be heard clearly.
The first play was naturally ordered by the old lady, but the old lady handed the excerpt to Aunt Li, "Mrs. Aunt is a guest, of course she is the first." ”
Aunt Li pushed it a few times and took it, and ordered "Point Champion", she still remembered Brother Yu who went to the academy in her heart. This play is about the emperor hand-picking the champion above the court, which is a good sign. Seeing this play, Feng Shi was also a little uneasy, and she didn't want Brother Han to go to Qiushan Academy. The house set up a family school, invited a famous old master, and spent money to learn outside? Besides, there are children from all the three sects and nine streams in the Qiushan Academy, so they don't have to learn badly!
At this hour, the exam has already begun, right? I don't know how hard Brother Han'er has been all the way, the child has been a little dizzy since he was a child, although he brought medicine and put it under his nose to sniff, Feng Shi was still worried. Don't feel bad when you come back from this trip
It's uncomfortable again, she can't eat and sleep well because of the headache she tosses, and she, as a mother, feels distressed when she looks at it.
Aunt Cui was even more absent-minded when she waited beside Feng's side, so she didn't pour the hot tea on Feng's body. Because today was a good day to enter the palace, the Feng family couldn't hold back their anger, glared at her a few times and asked her to retreat. Youyi looked calm, whether she could be admitted or not was Brother Jin'er's chance, and she did her best to obey the destiny of heaven.
Halfway through the play, a girl came back and said, saying that there was news from Qiushan Academy. Brother Yu and Brother Jin were admitted, Chang Cun and Brother Han fell to the ground, the little guy came back with Pegasus first, and several young masters came back later.
Feng Shi frowned when he heard this, and asked, "Did you hear it right?" Brother Jin was admitted? ”
Aunt Yun and the others also wondered in their hearts, they all said that Brother Han'er was smart and clever as a material for reading, how could the person who was admitted to the exam be Brother Jin'er? It's not that the little guy is in a hurry, and the person who passed the word is wrong.
"Mrs. Hui, the slave and maid heard me right. It was indeed the sixth young master who was admitted. The girl replied, "It's just that there is a setback here, it seems that the sixth young master didn't get admitted at the beginning, and then I don't know how to get into it again." The little guy who passed the word couldn't say clearly, the slave and maid went back and forth first, and the details had to be known by a few young masters when they came back. ”
These words made everyone look forward to it, and they couldn't even listen to the play, just waiting for Brother Yu and a few of them to come back.
After a while, everyone finally looked forward to Brother Yu and the others coming back. They had seen the old lady and others, and when Feng saw Brother Han'er's pale face and blank eyes, he knew that he was suffering from motion sickness, and hurriedly ordered someone to help him go down and rest.
The old lady asked Brother Jin what was going on, and Brother Jin couldn't help but blush.
He replied ashamedly: "Sun Tzu is not talented, and he is a shame for the Jin family." It turned out that he took the exam with Brother Yu, but unfortunately he didn't pass it. After getting the result, Jin Ge'er was unwilling, so he found the academician of the academy to beg. He begged in every possible way, saying that as long as he was allowed to stay, he was willing to listen, and he was willing to help with the cleaning and heavy work.
Seeing that he was so determined, the academician agreed to let him sit in for a year. If you fail the exam, you will leave immediately, and only if you are admitted can you officially become a student of Qiushan Academy.
Feng's mood suddenly brightened when she heard this, and Aunt Cui only felt panicked on her face, and looked at Brother Jin with anger and distress. If you can't pass the exam, why doesn't a good young master go to the academy to work as a coolie? This is really a shame for the Jin family!
Sun Tzu thought, the sage has a training: learn the sea without end, and work hard. Doing scholarship is not a comfortable thing in the first place, and grandchildren are not afraid of hardship. The grandson stayed in Qiushan Academy to observe, and if he took the exam again in a year, he would be ashamed of today! "Brother Jin is not very old, and he looks a little wooden on weekdays, but he didn't expect that there is indomitable strength in his bones.
"Hmm." The old lady nodded, "Okay, this is the descendant of our Jin family!" I think that the ancestor of the Jin family started with thirty taels of silver and earned everyone's business, what hardships have you not suffered? It's just that from generation to generation, when you come here, you will only see the blessings, but how can you know the difficulties of your ancestors in starting a business? I agree that you will audit for a year, it is good to be admitted, but if you fail the exam, it will be regarded as an experience. ”
Brother Jin hurriedly kowtowed when she heard this, and Aunt Cui rolled her eyes anxiously. But in front of the old lady, she didn't dare to be presumptuous, so she could only endure it.
Everyone dispersed, and Aunt Cui went back to the room, crying for a while and then hugged Brother Jin to wipe her tears. The thought of his precious son having to do the heavy work is worse than killing her.
The Feng clan naturally got the news, and couldn't help but sneer: "Who can be blamed for this?" A good young master is not right, and if he has to go to such a place to be tortured, it is the result of her teaching! I watched, Brother Jin said it well, I don't know how many days it will last! ”
The next day, Brother Jin and Brother Yu packed their bags and went to Qiushan Academy. In a blink of an eye, it was half a month, and the two of them came back again, Brother Yu didn't change much, but Brother Jin became almost unknown to everyone.
