48 Zhiliu

PS: I added a paragraph above, about 800 words. It's kind of anti-theft......

Mrs. Liang Xiang still couldn't ask after all. During the lunch break, Liang Lihua dug out of Jia Jiu's mouth.

Children always have to take a nap, and Mrs. Liang Xiang is getting older and pays more attention to maintenance. Every day at noon, even if you can't sleep, you will close your eyes and squint for a while, so that Jia Jiu and Liang Lihua, who basically don't need to sleep, can only go to the piano room to pass the time.

There were several pianos hanging in the piano room, but what attracted Jia Jiu's eyes at the first time was a white jade piano carved from a whole piece of white jade. Jia Jiu had also seen a whole piece of pure white Kunlun jade, but he had never seen a whole piece of jade so gorgeous that people couldn't take their eyes off this qin, as if the light in the entire room and the courtyard outside was concentrated on this qin.

At this moment, Jia Jiu had no way to think about whether Bai Yu could achieve the resonance of his voice and make the timbre more beautiful, and there was only one sentence hovering in his mind:

Purple gold flute, white jade qin, the palace lamp is bright and prosperous at night, drunk and lying freely.

Looking at the stupid Jia Jiu, Liang Lihua just raised her eyebrows slightly, and then sat down on the top seat, until Jia Jiu reacted himself, he said slowly: "How is it?" ”

Jia Jiu blurted out: "There is Bai Yuqin, but there is Zijin Xiao?" ”

Liang Lihua didn't speak, but he really had an unusually gorgeous Xiao in his hand.

The cold sweat on Jia Jiu's body came down.

It's as if he's hit something remarkable.

Sure enough, I only heard Liang Lihua say: "Do you want to play an ensemble?" ”

Jia Jiu immediately said, "Me." I'm going to make a tune, and I'm not skilled enough to play him from beginning to end. If it's an ensemble. That's what stained my sister's piano. I'll be able to practice a little bit more. ”

Liang Lihua is not reluctant.

Jia Jiu was in the mood to observe the surroundings. This is obviously a Han and Tang Dynasty style room, the floor is as bright as a mirror, if you lower your head, you can almost see your own face. Sitting on the ground, if the etiquette is not good, the shadow on the ground will look good. Seeing such a bright and mirror-like floor, Jia Jiu couldn't help but feel that it was reasonable for the ancients to use kneeling and prostration. At least I can hide my gaffe. You don't have to let others find clues from your own reflection in the first place.

sat down opposite Liang Lihua, and Jia Jiu realized that Liang Lihua had been looking at him for a while.

And the other party's eyes. Jia Jiu shivered, like ice and snow!

Jia Jiu stiffened, and sure enough, he only heard the other party's voice ringing in his ears: "I know Zijin Xiao, I know Bai Yuqin." I also know that the palace lantern is blooming. Who are you? ”

Jia Jiu hurriedly waved his hand: "That, I just read such a sentence in the book and remembered it." I don't really mean anything else. ”

Liang Lihua said: "What you saw in the book? ”

"Yes."

Liang Lihua's voice lowered three degrees again, it was already winter, Liang Lihua was full of cold air again, and the room was about to become an ice cellar: "I remember you said that "Tao Te Ching" is the first book you got. ”

How can Jia Jiu say that he read it in his previous life? All he could say was, "yes." "Tao Te Ching" is indeed the first book I got, but the first book I saw was not "Tao Te Ching". At that time, my cousins and I were raised in our old lady's house. Although our old lady doted on my cousin and played every day when he didn't study, my cousin still had what he should have. He doesn't look at it himself. But it doesn't stop me from flipping through it. As long as no one complains to the elders, it's fine. ”

Liang Lihua said again: "But you also said that you are illiterate. ”

Jia Jiu said: "Most of the characters are really unrecognizable, especially those with many strokes. Before this year, the family did not invite a husband for me, but my cousin had a husband when she was at home, otherwise how would my cousin enlighten my cousin? Although when my cousin taught my cousin, I was not qualified to sit next to them, so I could only sit down and eat snacks, but it did not prevent me from guessing what the word was based on the red strokes of my cousin. However, it is difficult to guess if there are many strokes. ”

Such an answer, although bizarre, makes sense.

Liang Lihua withdrew the internal energy poured into Zijin Xiao and said, "You mean, guess which word is based on the number of strokes?" ”

Jia Jiu nodded hurriedly: "Yes." ”

Liang Lihua smiled: "Can you do it?" ”

Jia Jiu thought for a while and said, "It's difficult. However, although my cousin has all kinds of problems, he is actually very good to his sisters and sisters in the family. When he knew I wanted to be literate, he went out of his way to teach me secretly, even though in exchange I was asked to help him with his homework. As he spoke, Jia Jiu's voice suddenly lowered.

Jia Jiu was just using Jia Baoyu as an excuse, but at the moment when these words came out, several images flashed in his mind, and it was really Jia Baoyu who taught him to read and asked him to help complete his homework.

Could it be that this is the memory left by this body?

Jia Jiu hesitated.

Jia Jiu has never liked to owe favors to others, if Jia Baoyu really not only taught in private in order to make Jia Jiu literate, but also let the original body use his pen and ink to do the homework assigned by Jia Yuanchun to consolidate knowledge, then, these days, Jia Jiu's attitude towards Jia Baoyu is inevitably biased.

Looking at Jia Jiu's silent appearance, Liang Lihua said, "Sister? Sister of the Jia family? But what happened? ”

Jia Jiu suddenly came back to his senses, but saw Liang Lihua looking at him quietly. Jia Jiu opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything, just said, "It's just that I suddenly remembered the past." Maybe my cousin wasn't that bad. It's me who is too fastidious. ”

Liang Lihua said: "People always make mistakes. ”

A plain sentence, under Liang Lihua's special accent, there is a deep taste, it seems that these seven words contain countless stories and accidents.

The two of them were relatively speechless, each holding a bowl of tea and thinking about something.

After a long time, I heard Liang Lihua say: "My sister used me as bait last time." aroused the interest of Daomen, so can I, the poor bait, get a glimpse of my sister's layout today? ”

Jia Jiu was shocked and immediately replied, "About this plan." I've handed it over to the Daomen. If Dao Kui thinks it is necessary to let his sister know, he will inevitably let his sister know through Senior Brother Guò Yan. If Senior Brother Yan didn't tell his sister, it would be because Dao Kui had other plans. Good sister, can you spare my sister this time? ”

Liang Lihua said slowly: "What a clever mouth, I can push it clean with one sentence, but I am sure that the Daomen will act according to your wishes?!" Anyway, since my sister didn't say it. I won't ask either. Just one sentence, next time my sister has something, don't ask my sister for help. ”

Jia Jiu said: "If it is related to my sister and the Liang family. Can my sister stand by and watch? ”

Jia Jiu's meaning is very simple, if it is time to drag Liang Lihua into the water, he will definitely not be polite.

Obviously, it is impossible for Liang Lihua to ignore Prime Minister Liang, Mrs. Liang Xiang, and the Liang family. had to be won by Jia Jiu.

Liang Lihua said slowly: "It seems that someone has forgotten about jì." His father and brother were at the border. ”

Jia Jiu immediately begged for mercy: "Good sister, I was wrong." ”

Jia Jiu has obviously obtained the true inheritance of the three sect hooligans, and he admits his mistakes neatly, but he is absolutely unrepentant. Of course, the main thing is the violent one.

The poor are rich, which is Jia Jiu's current state.

He had been bullied before, so he was very careful to pretend to be his grandson, and now he knows that his force value is very high. And he staggered. I've been thinking about raising my eyebrows, and once I really have chips in my hands that can crush others and are still chips that others can't snatch. This state of mind naturally changed.

The most obvious thing is that he lived up to his calmness in front of everyone, and even shouted loudly in front of Mrs. Liang Xiang. If it weren't for Jia Qian and Jia Qing's best efforts, I am afraid that his image would be gone. If it weren't for Mrs. Liang Xiang's concern for her maiden nephew, she wouldn't have tolerated him so much.

However, Liang Yaru's impression of Jia Jiu was not good.

Liang Lihua was very clear about this, but he didn't think about what to do at all.

If a poor person suddenly becomes rich, if he wants to change from this huge surprise, he must either rely on time and let the experience of time and life make his heart overcome impetuousness and return to peace, or, like Jia Jiu, someone must beat him hard and beat him down completely.

Liang Lihua found out that Jia Jiu's state of mind was wrong, but he didn't do anything.

Because he doesn't have that obligation.

Or that he has already done it, but whether he can come to his senses depends on Jia Jiu himself.

Fortunately, Liang Lihua mentioned Jia Jiu's big plan, and this plan is Jia Jiu's long-planned ideal, and it is also Jia Jiu's ideal to prove himself. and used Jia Yu and Jia Lian as a threat, what else can Jia Jiu do?

Jia Jiu immediately picked up his mask and said, "Sister is clean here, and there is not even a girl, so I will choose the most important thing to talk to my sister." The thing is because I can't bear to see the people of Jingshi starving and cold in the cold winter, always relying on alms, and there is no meal, and those empty-handed homeless people are eating the rice porridge that is not steady. I'm just asking the Daomen to hire them this winter, so that they can have a warm room to settle down and fill their stomachs every day. It's not a big deal. ”

"Then why do you want me to help?"

"It's natural. The children of the homeless are also human beings, and I want to get a Mongolian school so that they can recognize a few words, know how to plan, understand contract documents, and not be deceived in begging for a living in Beijing. ”

Liang Lihua said: "Reading and literacy? You've made it too easy. ”

Jia Jiu said: "It's not that they want to take the exam or go to the imperial examination, it's just that they can recognize three or four thousand common words and be able to cope with daily life." Where is so exquisite. ”

Liang Lihua glanced at Jia Jiu deeply and said, "Do you know that if you let them hear this, they will definitely scold you for not respecting knowledge enough and coping with things." ”

Jia Jiu said: "Why don't I respect learning? Even Confucius himself said that there is no class in teaching, is it possible that in their eyes, ordinary people do not have the right to read and write? Moreover, it is impossible to ask those who have a meal but not a meal to take the test, and a single letter of recommendation can make them sell their sons and daughters, and their wives and wives are separated. I just want to give these people one more way to make a living, not to make them real readers. Of course, if any of them has this talent. I wouldn't be so stingy either. How is it? Regarding my plan, Sister Liang can be seen? ”

Liang Lihua tapped Zijin Xiao in her hand and said, "Fortunately, you told me this." If it were someone else, for example, that Yan Wei would definitely not work. Well, if you need it, send me a letter, and I'll arrange it. Are you satisfied? ”

For those things in Confucianism, no one knows better than Liang Lihua. Just like he said. If Jia Jiu only taught those homeless people three or four thousand common words, plus planned to do this kind of thing, there would definitely be a large group of Confucian students waiting to spray Jia Jiu. If Jia Jiu hadn't talked to himself about this matter today. I'm afraid that there will be some twists and turns in the future.

This matter may seem like a problem to others, but in his hands, it is not a problem, and he has several ways to solve it. No matter how bad it is. He could also use his prestige in Confucianism to silence all the voices of opposition.

Therefore, Jia Jiu was completely lucky and asked for the right person.

Looking at Jia Jiu, who was obviously relieved, Liang Lihua's eyes narrowed, and said, "Probably you don't know, your nephew Zhiliu is my cousin." ”

Jia Jiu was stunned and said, "Could it be that Mrs. Liang Xiang was born in the Cao family?" Or ......"

Liang Lihua couldn't help but knock Jia Jiu's arm with the Zijin Xiao in her hand, and said, "Where did you think of it?" Although the Cao family has ancestral training, they are not allowed to be officials. But he didn't say that they were not allowed to test for fame. The contemporary head of the Cao family is still a fellow jinshi. ”

The Cao family's behavior was quite typical at the time. Although it is a merchant's family, it is also a descendant of the descendants and a side descendant. They are all famous. Others will try to get a better ranking in the exam, but they don't. Once you are in the middle of the examination, you will immediately participate in the examination, and then mix in an inconspicuous position in the palace examination to be an alternate official of the seventh or eighth grade for a lifetime.

Liang Jian, the contemporary head of the Cao family and Liang Chengxiang, was the middle of the same year, but after the middle lift, the young master of the Cao family, who was only a descendant of the Cao family at that time, immediately participated in the examination, but Liang Chengxiang, married his wife after the middle lift, and studied for six years behind closed doors before participating in the examination. At that time, his brother-in-law, who had already passed the examination, went home to do business.

Prime Minister Liang regretted more than once that if the Cao family did not have that family rule, Daqi was afraid that there would be an extra group of officials who could do things.

The six arts of a gentleman, number, is just one of them. It is not a big deal that a scholar is calculating and can plan a plan. If you go into business after you have a fame, you are just doing it as a person. Just like the Cao family, the heads of their families in the past generations were at least a lifter, so in the eyes of the world, they were just weirdos in the family.

Outsiders describe the Cao family as: a family of scholars who are keen to make money.

This is different from the average merchant's house. Although Daqi is much more relaxed than the previous dynasty in many places, people's perceptions are not so easy to change. If the children of merchants want to participate in the imperial examination, they will be hindered in many places. There will also be people who point fingers behind their backs and say that they are not doing their duty. Even though there was no explicit provision in the laws of the Great Qi, the people still strictly followed the laws and regulations of the previous dynasty, and merchants and their children were not allowed to participate in the imperial examinations.

This is also the reason why the Xue family began to cultivate Xue Baochai after seeing that Xue Pan was not in trouble. Because Xue Pan is the son of a businessman, he has no other way out except to do business. Since Xue Pan is stupid and has no talent in business, his remaining value is to pass on the lineage to the Xue family.

As for Xue Baochai, as long as he marries well, he can still help his mother's family and his mother and brother.

He just can't help if he doesn't want to. Because the world's public opinion will definitely force him to do so.

Jia Jiu was dumbfounded.

Where did he think that there were such strange people in this world, this fame had already been obtained, and he didn't let the children and grandchildren of the family come out to be officials, it was really strange in the world.

Jia Jiu thought for a while and said, "Zhiliu is the reason why Mrs. Xiangguo invited me?" ”

Liang Lihua glanced at Jia Jiu with a smile and said, "Do you think that the people from the Cao family, the world's largest grain merchant, will not be able to see your little calculations?" If his father hadn't stopped him in time, his mother would have asked the Cao family to take care of all the projects to clean up the Jingshi River. ”

Then the Cao family got the gratitude of the people of Jingshi and the side eyes from above, and there will be more and more people who go to the Cao family to blackmail, and the appetite will also increase, and finally even Prime Minister Liang can't suppress them. The final outcome of the Cao family is destruction. ”

Liang Lihua said: "It looks like your brain hasn't been lost yet." ”

"What?"

This is a brainless sentence that is really hard to understand.

Liang Lihua was also reluctant to dwell on this topic, and said: "You are a little more pragmatic than I imagined. ”

Jia Jiu said: "Sister mentioned Zhiliu, but what do you have to explain?" ”

Liang Lihua glanced at Jia Jiu and said, "Since you are an elder and a junior, you should call him hard." Some people, if you don't keep his feet on the ground, he won't believe you. ”

"Sister is talking about Zhiliu?"

It was Liang Lihua who answered Jia Jiu with a look.

Jia Jiu understands in seconds.

It is estimated that his nephew offended the person in front of him, so he was in trouble. But I don't know that my conjecture really fulfills the old saying: a mistake is a thousand miles.

Jia Jiu only remembered that Zhiliu was Liang Lihua's cousin, but he forgot that Zhiliu was a member of the Daomen, but Liang Lihua was not a member of the Daomen, on the contrary, it was very likely that he was a high-ranking person in the Confucian Sect. Of course, the recognition of Confucianism by those who have already gained status in Confucianism is not the same.

The contradiction between Liang Lihua and Zhiliu is actually the contradiction between Taoism and Confucianism. (To be continued......)
