10

After experiencing the discomfort at the beginning, Xue Pan slowly adapted. Even though I am still facing the bitterness of books every day, the speed of this copying is slowly rising. At the beginning, the crooked words now have a bit of appearance, although they can only be horizontal and vertical at the moment, although they can't talk about the wind and bones at all, but they can also make people distinguish Ding is Ding Mao or Mao, and it is no longer a black lump of ink.

found that Jia Baoyu and Jia Tanchun, the two brothers and sisters, were not Xue Pan, who was lying on the table and grabbing a pen to compete with him, but Jia Zheng.

At first, Jia Zheng thought it was an ignorant little girl or a little girl who wanted to read and write, but after calling someone in, he found out that it was his baby son - he didn't notice Tanchun at all when he first started.

To tell the truth, when Jia Zheng saw his youngest son, he was actually very happy. is nesting at home every day, Jia Zheng also knows that his future is over, and their family wants to get up, nothing more than relying on his two sons Jia Baoyu and Jia Huan, who are babies, and then there is the baby in Li Kun's belly who doesn't know whether it is a man or a woman. Compared with the latter two, Jia Baoyu is exactly seven years old, and Jia Yuanchun had enlightened him before entering the palace, and he had already filled nearly a thousand words and three or four books in his stomach. For this older, talented and intelligent son, Jia Zheng doesn't say anything, but he really has great hopes in his heart.

Even if you can't take the imperial examination, at least you can be a celebrity. Thinking about this child, his sister had already shown her talent before she entered the palace, and now that three years have passed, she should have learned one more book.

With such hope, he looked at the two little quails standing in front of him. Jia Zheng spoke: "Baoyu, why did you come here today?" ”

Seven-year-old Jia Baoyu already has a bit of what she will look like in the future. When I saw my father, I didn't say anything, but my unresponsible temperament has already been cultivated. Something happened. Don't say that you have to bear it, even if you let him say a few more words in front of his father, it is impossible for him to say a few more words in front of his father, and now that he sees his father asking, this rhetoric is fine, but Jia Zheng is holding a strict father's face, and Jia Baoyu will be the first to coax.

There's no way, who let Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang spoil before? Even ordinary people are worried about whether this son will be spoiled, let alone Jia Zheng, who has lost face now? In order to hide his current downfall, Jia Zheng has been holding his face for a while. But I don't know that this is more and more like this.

People who have experienced a lot know that it's just that a stunned person like Xue Pan and a child like Jia Baoyu naturally can't see it. Seeing Jia Zheng's questioning, Jia Baoyu naturally couldn't say clearly. How dare he honestly say that his sister Tanchun pulled him over when he didn't want to come over? Isn't that a pit for yourself?

Jia Baoyu is not that stupid. But he was not so good as to lie and deceive his father.

Jia Baoyu hesitated, but Tanchun was not stupid, or rather, Tanchun, who wanted to please Jia Zheng, would not miss such an opportunity, he stepped forward half a step forward slightly, and said beside Jia Baoyu: "Father, today is the first day of the new year." The daughter and brother came to greet their father. ”

Jia Zheng didn't notice Tanchun at firstβ€”he thought it was Jia Baoyu's girlβ€”and when Tanchun spoke, he felt extremely embarrassed.

There are no smart people in the Jia family, and Jia Zheng is no exception - if he was a smart person, he would have been promoted by his own ability - Jia Zheng's most direct reaction was not to find a way to get through. It's not that he called his daughter to soothe her - just like his brother Jia Yu did every time he saw his daughter. Every time Jia Yu sees his daughter, he will do this, Jia Jiu will also take the opportunity to be coquettish, and his son Jia Lian, who is on the side, will also take the opportunity to observe Jia Yu's reaction. Naturally, I won't be so nervous, and the family is also harmonious and beautiful. - Jia Zheng reprimanded as soon as he opened his mouth: "What are you here to do?" I didn't know this was my outer study. Isn't it possible for a girl like you to come here? Don't get out of here yet. ”

If it is changed to other words, Tanchun is afraid that it will be better. But Jia Zheng just used a rolling word, that is, no matter how clever Tanchun is, he is only six years old, and he can't speak at the moment, so he has to bow his head and run away in tears.

Jia Baoyu on the side was originally afraid of his father, but now he was stimulated by Jia Zheng's words, and saw his sister run out aggrievedly, Jia Baoyu became even more nervous. He just didn't know that this was just the beginning.

Let's say that Tanchun went out of Jia Zheng's study, and he didn't dare to go to the inner house in the back, so he just lowered his head and came to the back garden, wanting to find a quiet place to cry secretly, but he didn't want to bump into a person.

Jia Qian was also surprised. He originally came to Cuihuang Dongfeng to see if he could find Zhusun, but he didn't expect to collide with the tearful Tanchun. He has always known about Tanchun, not to mention his high spirits, and he also values his face very much, and he doesn't want people to look down on him. can make Tanchun throw off the girls and run to the back garden to cry secretly, which can be seen that it is not a trivial matter.

Tan Chun saw that he had bumped into someone, so he immediately covered it in front of the other party's body, wiped his face and wiped away his tears, and then raised his head. It's also a shame that he is still young and has never started to use fat powder, otherwise, with his actions, his face will definitely not be visible. It's also a shame that Jia Qian is very familiar with Tanchun, and he replaced his sister Jia Qing, but I'm afraid that I will really be fooled by Tanchun.

Jia Qian waited for Tanchun to stand firm, and then gave Tanchun a salute and said, "My niece and daughter greet the third aunt, and the third aunt is auspicious." ”

Tanchun raised his eyes to look at Jia Qian, who was squatting down in front of him, and said, "That's it, you just get up." Are you a sister or a younger sister? ”

Jia Qian said: "The third aunt in prison asked, the sister is still with her aunt now." My niece and nephew came here to find ingredients. If the third aunt has time, why don't you move to accompany her niece? ”

Tanchun was very surprised: "Looking for ingredients? Why come here to find ingredients? Could it be that the big man is still short of food, and you can't eat? ”

Jia Qian hurriedly explained: "The third aunt misunderstood, what my niece is looking for is Zhusun. This bamboo sunflower is a treasure of imperial food, that is, it is found in various places, and it is also directly entered, and people who are waiting for leisure can not see the face of this bamboo sunflower. And this bamboo tree is also strange, it only grows on the bamboo roots of withered bamboo, and its shadow cannot be seen in the newly planted bamboo forest. I remember that this Cuihuang Dongfeng was created when Emperor Gaozu was in power. That's why I tried my luck. ”

Tanchun nodded and said, "I see." But isn't it written on it? This plaque should be read from right to left, right? ”

Jia Qian said: "Exactly." This plaque has been there since the previous dynasty, and the correct reading is indeed Huangcui. It's just that Emperor Gaozu made a mistake at the beginning, so now the whole family is called Cuihuang Dongfeng, in order to commemorate the old things that Emperor Gaozu was lucky to do. ”

Tanchun said: "It turns out that there is this reason, but I never know." You've got a heart. ”

Jia Qian was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that these things were because of the construction of the Grand View Garden at home in his previous life, and the people outside quarreled for several days about whether to demolish the green fence. It's just that it's impossible for a little girl like them to know about such a thing. If it weren't for the fact that he was not in good health at that time, Wang Xifeng personally guarded it, he would not have heard about Cuihuang Dongfeng.

When I think of the Grand View Garden in my previous life. Jia Qian's heart is not good. It was because of Daguanyuan that his father Jia Yu couldn't turn over from then on, and his brother and sister-in-law also left their hearts, that is, Daguanyuan made the emperor far away from Jia Yuanchun, and finally became a major evidence of the Jia family's disloyalty and filial piety. Even Lin Daiyu died because of this grand view garden. Now that I think about it, the death knell of the Jia family started because of the Grand View Garden, and the complete decline of the Jia family also ended because of the Grand View Garden, so it is strange that Jia Qian will feel comfortable in her heart.

Even if she is nostalgic for the quiet days in the Grand View Garden, Jia Qian really doesn't like the Grand View Garden.

Jia Qian was not happy because she thought of the Grand View Garden. But in Tanchun's eyes, he was embarrassed by being seen through by himself, and raised his chin slightly to demonstrate to Jia Qian. It's also a shame that Jia Qian's temperament is soft, if he changes his sister Jia Qing. I'm afraid that the first time I will be ironic.

Jia Qian didn't care when she heard Tanchun's sarcasm, she just smiled and said, "Third aunt." I don't know where your girl and grandma are? Although it is their own garden, it is not their fault to let my aunt be alone here. ”

Tanchun immediately put down his face. Said: "Are you going to take care of my girl?" ”

Jia Qian smiled: "Third aunt, your girl is naturally your girl." I'm a junior who doesn't dare to break the rules. It's just that if the old lady sees the third aunt like this, I'm afraid it will be annoying. ”

Tanchun immediately said: "That's also my business, what does it have to do with you?" ”

Jia Qian was stunned for a moment, and then realized that she was still bound by her previous life. In her previous life, Xue Baochai was in the Grand View Garden, but she looked like her sister, and she compared all the girls in the Grand View Garden to the mud with a good face. At that time, not only Jia Tanchun, but also Shi Xiangyun and Lin Daiyu, didn't they also take care of Xue Baochai? Tanchun never dared to talk much about this, and even stammered Xue Baochai, even if he was stepped on by Xue Baochai, he didn't dare to resist. It's just that she is not the Xue Baochai of the year, and she is a junior, and this third aunt has strong self-esteem. There is a way that if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves, if you let the other party hold a grudge, I am afraid that my sister will be troubled from now on. After all, the other party also has a biological mother who is very good at tossing and willing to save face.

Jia Qian smiled and said: "Third aunt, you are too careful, the younger generation just sees that you are a little wronged, so you say more." After all, my aunt also suffered such a loss back then......"

Tanchun snorted and said, "Do you think I'm the second sister, and I don't know how to say anything when I'm bullied?" ”

Jia Qian said: "I don't know if the third aunt is willing to go to sit in this green fence with her niece, and let her niece solve it for you by the way." If there is something, it is confided, and this heart is more comfortable. The third aunt looks like this now, I'm afraid that the old lady won't feel good when she sees it. ”

Tanchun snorted coldly and said, "My niece has a heart." You'd better mind your own business. I'll take care of my own business. So saying, he lifted his feet and went forward.

Tanchun is taking care of his own face, and he doesn't want Jia Qian to look down on him, but he forgot about it, and now Jia Qian is the adopted daughter recognized by Jia Yu himself, and it will be recorded in the name of Jia Yu's deceased eldest son in the future. There are people in this house who want to please him in a different way, where do you need Tanchun to open this mouth?

Soon, when Jia Qian found a small bamboo root under a bamboo root that had been cut down to only half a foot high, the people around him inquired about the whole story.

Because she has been serving Jia Qian for a longer time, Bai Lu is the same as the red leaves, and she is also familiar with the girls here. When I heard this, I was secretly speechless at the moment. said: "It's strange that the third girl is like this, it turns out that she was yelled at by the second master." ”

Tortoiseshell smiled: "Although it is a biological father." But when can't I say goodbye? I want it to pass now. You must know that the Xue family's brother follows the staff to study, and he will not leave every day when he is not in Shen. The third girl went over at this time and bumped into a foreign man, and of course the foreign man was angry. ”

The minions of the Jia family are all human spirits, and after knowing that after the division of the family and the sect, Jia Zheng is a guest, and he is no longer the master of the general's mansion, so for the sake of Jia's mother's face or to please Jia's mother. They still call Jia Zheng the second master, but when they go outside, which of them takes Jia Zheng seriously? When it first opened, only the little guy who spread the word at the door called Jia Zheng a foreigner, but now it is called, but it is just not for Jia's mother to hear.

Jia Qian listened on the side and said, "If it's just like this, then that's it." I remember that there was also a white-haired Confucian student in my hometown, who had taken the imperial examination for most of his life, and his hair was all white, and his family's hundreds of acres of high-quality paddy fields were tossed in. Still haven't made it out. When people reach old age, they become more and more left-minded, forcing their children and grandchildren to take the exam too. He has a grandson, who is not a student but has some talent for business. wanted to go out with someone to be an apprentice to get a piece of money for the family, but he was almost beaten to death by his grandfather. I'm afraid that the second master will also have a magic barrier, and I don't have to worry about Uncle Bao going to school. also used the family method against Uncle Bao. ”

Tortoiseshell said: "Girl, it's the outsider who moves the board against the second master of Bao." That was also their father's and son's, and they were guests. You're a junior again, where are you talking a lot. No matter how bad it is, there is an old lady. The girl just needs to take care of her own business. ”

Jia Qian nodded and said, "That's what I said." ”

Bai Lu is also a little bolder now, and when she saw that Jia Qian was easy to speak, she also said at the moment: "Actually, I want the servant to say that today's incident is still the third girl and the second master Bao." It's that the two of them are raised in front of the old lady, what is it to go to ask their father for peace? The second girl is so busy, especially after the flower festival, the second girl took over the matter little by little, but she had leisure every day, didn't she still make a fan sleeve for the master, and cooked duck porridge for the second master? How much older is the second girl than the third girl? I don't know how many things are more every day, but he plays every day, but he didn't go to say goodbye to the staff until today, and he went to the place where he shouldn't go, and he didn't ask for it when he was yelled......"

Bai Lu only knew that she was talking happily, where did she think that she was talking about her girl's weakness? In his previous life, he was even more unbearable than Tanchun.

Jia Qian got up and said: "Let's go, after all, it's someone else's family, don't say right in front of people, don't expose people in the future, it's not so much that these things don't have them, it's better to help me think of a way." In the past few days, the second uncle has been foaming at the mouth in order to prepare for the exam. My aunt is still in a hurry to prepare food for the second uncle, so we shouldn't be too negligent. ”

Although they didn't know why their girl was suddenly scared, but both tortoiseshell and Bai Lu knew that Jia Qian was unhappy, so they hurriedly stopped their mouths and followed Jia Qian to help. It's Jia Qian's own thoughts, and this hand has also slowed down, and he has been distracted all afternoon, which has frightened his girls a lot.

As for Tanchun, after running out for dozens of steps, he finally remembered that his brother Jia Baoyu was left with Jia Zheng. With Jia Baoyu's fear of Jia Zheng and his attitude towards Jia Zheng, Tanchun instinctively felt bad.

I only hope that my brother will not provoke my father, and I only hope that my father will not scold my brother.

Thinking of the possibility that Jia Zheng scared Jia Baoyu into tears, Tanchun's feet immediately quickened his pace. He ran out of the back garden, and saw his grandmother waiting at the door: "My girl, I just saw you running in a hurry, I am really in a hurry, and I don't know where the girl is, so I can only wait here......"

"Quick, Baoyu is in front of the master, tell the old lady."

Seeing that Tanchun was out of breath, the grandmother hurriedly came over to calm Tanchun, and said, "Don't worry, the girl has already gone to find Brother Parrot." My good girl, good and dignified, why did you pull the second master to the master? Recently, the old man's temper is very big, if he is angry with the second master and let the old lady know, what will the old lady think of the girl? ”

Tanchun said: "I just want to say goodbye to my father......"

The grandmother said: "Don't worry, girl, it's right to ask my father for An Yuan, and it's not wrong for the girl to pull the second master over." I was afraid that the old man would be angry with the second master, and the old lady would not be able to attack the old man, and she would have to comfort the second master, and in the end, the fault fell on the girl. ”

Tanchun was startled.

In other people's families, the father and son are filial piety, but Jia Zheng and Jia Baoyu, the father and son, are like enemies, and the father and son have never been together since Jia Baoyu landed.

When Jia Baoyu was born. Because of the jade, Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang were very happy. Only Jia Zheng said that he was a misfortune and wanted to throw him away. In the end, it was Jia Mu who stopped it. In order to prevent her husband from killing the youngest of her only two sons, Mrs. Wang even used chicken feathers as arrows and caused a storm in the city, so that everyone in the capital knew that his youngest son was called Jia Baoyu.

When Jia Baoyu caught Zhou, children like bright and fragrant things, Jia Baoyu grabbed rouge gouache in so many things, if he changed to someone else, I was afraid that he would laugh at it, only Jia Zheng blew his beard and glared, saying that he was destined to be a wine-colored person.

It doesn't matter whether Jia Baoyu's stone was brought from the womb or not. Jia Zheng's ideas were in line with the ideas of ordinary people at that time. changed to someone else, his son is different from others, which one is not hidden? is also Mrs. Wang, who has to make everyone know. You know, in the eyes of the world, only the true Son of Heaven will have these visions. is like Wang Huan, the biological mother of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Mrs. Gouge, who finally became the biological mother of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty. It's just that this kind of thing is just a dream, and it's just a matter of people's mouths, but what about adding this jade?

Jia Zheng wants to lose Jia Baoyu. In fact, it is also to protect his eldest son and daughter, and it is also to protect himself and his family. But the truth is that he failed. For the first time in his life, he made the right decision, but it fell short because of the union of his mother and wife.

Jia Baoyu's catch Zhou is the same. If it weren't for Jia Zheng's words over the years, Jia Baoyu would indeed not be that kind of prodigy. I am afraid that the pine trees on Jia Zheng's grave are just like the pines and cypresses on his son's grave, which have long been lush and green.

except to preserve yourselves, and to preserve the hearts of their sons. Jia Zheng is not dissatisfied with Jia Baoyu's smart and clever son, and of course he will not punish his son for no reason. Especially when Jia Baoyu is still young. Even if he asked many questions, Jia Baoyu didn't answer any of them, and Jia Zheng just asked Jia Baoyu to copy books like Xue Pan.

A large part of the reason for this is naturally because Jia Baoyu came to greet him. Another part of the reason is naturally because Mrs. Wang, who was confined to the Buddhist hall, has already borne most of the responsibility. As long as the operation is done properly in the future, his son can be a celebrity even if he is not an official.

With such expectations, Jia Zheng decided to raise his son himself.

However, Jia Zheng's good mood did not last long, because Jia's mother came with someone.

At the beginning, Jia's mother thought that Jia Zheng would punish Jia Baoyu, just like every time she saw Jia Baoyu before, so he came here to take Jia Baoyu away, and Jia Baoyu, sure enough, when she saw Jia's mother, she was in tears, which made Jia's mother think that her precious grandson had been wronged.

Jia's mother knew very well that her grandson couldn't study, of course, in front of outsiders (Xue Pan), he couldn't say it clearly, but said to Jia Zheng, who was standing on the side: "Second brother, I know your thoughts, but Baoyu is still young, and I don't expect him to take the imperial examination." Let's let him relax for two years. ”

Jia Zheng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Mother, Baoyu is now seven years old, even if you don't take the imperial examination, at least you should study and be reasonable......

Jia Baoyu was in Jia's mother's arms, and Jia's mother found that Jia Baoyu was trembling faintly in her arms, and her mood was immediately not good, and she said, "You don't know you when I do?" If you want to take the imperial examination, you have to take the exam yourself, Baoyu is still young. ”

said, and took Jia Baoyu back without saying anything.

Jia Zheng was stunned in the room for a long time, and when there were only two people left in the room, he and Xue Pan were left, and then he sat down on the chair next to him weakly.

This is the housework of the Jia family, and Xue Pan didn't dare to speak. But Jia Zheng is his uncle in the end, that is, he just asked him to copy books, and in general it is still very good to him. Seeing that Jia Zheng was in a bad spirit, he came over cautiously, brought Jia Zheng a cup of tea, and said, "Uncle, please use tea." ”

Jia Zheng sighed and said, "How's your homework?" ”

Xue Pan immediately rushed over, picked up the manuscript he had copied, and presented it to Jia Zheng with both hands.

Jia Zheng flipped through it slightly and said, "Yes, it's much better than yesterday." Go back today. ”

Xue Pan said: "Uncle, I don't have anything to do at home, and I should sit with my uncle for a while." ”

Jia Zheng sighed, and after a long time, he said, "Let you see the joke." ”

Xue Pan said: "Uncle, it's not my nephew talking nonsense, I think my cousin's heart for my uncle is real." My cousin is young and impatient to sit at his desk for a long time. That's how I came here, and now I can sit down and copy a book for an hour. ”

Jia Zheng smiled: "I know your filial piety." Go back. I heard that your sister is not doing well these days, so I care more about him. I still have something to do here, so I won't leave you alone. ”

Xue Pan saw Jia Zheng say this, so he nodded, and with uneasiness, he turned back and walked back step by step.

When Xue Pan left, Jia Zheng called someone to inquire about what happened. When he learned that it was Tanchun (the girl) who went to find Jia's mother, he was so angry that he smashed his favorite official kiln bowl, and sat in the house for a while, then got up and went back to the inner house. When I walked to the door, I heard Jia Huan's cry and Aunt Zhao's comforting voice.

Thinking that Tanchun also crawled out of Aunt Zhao's belly, Jia Zheng's mood became more and more irritable, and he shouted angrily: "Cry, cry, cry, you know crying." Can you silence him for a while? ”

Aunt Zhao hurriedly came out of the house and said, "Master, it's not that I'm careless, it's not that Huan'er is pampered, it's really that the girls are too lazy now." Look at it, Huan'er's arms are red. I don't know where that girl came up, but she dared to pinch the ring, if she hadn't found it early, I would have ...... it a long time ago."

Jia Zhengdao: "Since it's a bad girl, I'll sell it, and replace it with a good one!" I said you also have a snack, this one is only a little bigger, what about that one? It's going to play tricks on my father! ”

Jia Zheng was really angry, and actually said such things to Aunt Zhao's concubine.

Aunt Zhao looked stupid in front of others, but in front of Jia Zheng, he was shrewd, and when he heard Jia Zheng say this, he immediately burst into tears: "Master, this daughter was taken away as soon as she landed, and the concubine didn't even see it." When he was a little older, the concubine held up her big belly and opened the curtain, but how did a child of his age know that he crawled out of my belly? Even if the concubine raised Huan'er, she is not qualified to enter the old lady's house, how can she see him? ”

Jia Zhengdao: "Are you resentful? ”

Aunt Zhao said: "Master, I also know that raising the three girls in front of the wife is for the good of the three girls." Over the years, the concubines only dared to look at the three girls from afar. But every time, the concubine only dared to look down from afar......"

I have to say that Aunt Zhao is worthy of being a shrewd woman who knows how to seize opportunities. Mrs. Wang was grounded, when would he not envelop Jia Zheng at this time? expressed his grievances in a timely manner, and let Jia Zheng think about Tanchun's upbringing without a trace, and he deserved to be the only aunt in Jia Zheng's house who could raise a daughter and a son. (To be continued......)
