Chapter VII: Seeking Help
Ningguo Mansion, study.
It was the height of summer, but a family like Ningfu never worried about the scorching heat.
In each of the four corners of the study, there is a bronze ice book, all of which are in the shape of auspicious beasts.
Bingjian, which was filled with ice cubes, constantly spewed out a faint white mist from the mouth of the beast's head, making the room cool and refreshing.
Jia Zhen was wearing a thin fragrant satin brocade robe, holding a green lotus porcelain cup in her hand, and carefully tasting the rock sugar lotus seed soup in the pot with a spoon......
After a pillar of incense, Jia Zhen put down the porcelain cup, squinted at Jia Rong, who had been standing in the hall for a long time, and let out a contemptuous disdain snort from her nose, and asked, "In the past few days, how has that evil obstacle been?" ”
Jia Rong's waist and legs were sore, and when she heard this, she hurriedly raised her head and said with a smile: "Back to my lord, Jia Qiang has been busy reading every day these days......
Jia Zhen said dissatisfied, "Hmm", "What kind of character is he, I don't know yet?" If he can settle down to study, the dragon will lay eggs. What did the master say? Didn't hit his board? ”
Jia Rong's face froze when she heard this, and she hesitated and didn't know how to answer, this slowness made Jia Zhen furious, and scolded: "Damn little beast, can't you even speak?" What do you do? Do you dare to snub me now? ”
Jia Rong was bluffed, and hurriedly said: "Master, it's not that my son dares to snub my master, I'm just wondering ......."
"What are you bored? Tell me clearly, dare to fool me, it's not as good as yours today! ”
dragged on for a long time, Jia Zhen's words made Jia Rong sweat profusely in this cool room.
Jia Rong said: "Master, my son is wondering, the master of the school has asked Jia Qiang to answer every day in the past few days, but the questions he raised have been answered by Jia Qiang......"
"What?"
Jia Zhen's eyes widened, looked at Jia Rong and said, "You said that the master in the school can't help but be able to resist that evil obstacle?" How can it be? ”
Jia Rong said helplessly: "It's true, my son didn't just ask one person, but many children in the clan saw it...... By the way, Second Uncle Bao and Uncle Xue have been going to school to see Tian'er in the past few days, just to see this strange scene. ”
When Jia Zhen heard this, her face was a little ugly, and she was suspicious: Could it be that the evil obstacle has been pretending to be crazy and stupid in front of him all these years?
Seeing that he was silent, Jia Rong was terrified, and thought for a while: "But the master has also criticized Jia Qiang for the second time......"
Jia Zhen raised her eyes and saw that the fierce gaze made Jia Rong's face pale, and Jia Zhen asked in a deep voice, "What did the master say?" ”
Jia Rong hurriedly replied: "The master said that Jia Qiang's handwriting is too second, and you must practice diligently, otherwise the examiner will not be able to write at first sight after the end, and the paper will be dismissed." Even if you have great luck and mix it up, in the future, the officials will be selected for the officials, and the words and books will be judged by the four levels, and the calligraphy will not be passed, and the officials will not be selected. ”
Jia Zhen snorted and sneered: "He still wants to choose an official to be an official?" Do his big spring and autumn dreams! If you go and tell the master, you will say that the word of evil obstacle has lost the face of our Jia family. If you can't even write well, what else can you read? Let him discipline the evil obstacle well, and let him write fifty more big characters every day! If you can't write a famous name, you will be disciplined strictly! ”
Jia Rong thought for a while and hesitated: "Master, Jia Qiang is afraid that she won't even have the silver to buy pen, ink and paper......
Jia Zhen looked sideways and said, "You don't want to trick me, you brutes, who doesn't carry twenty or thirty taels of silver with you as a cushion bag, otherwise how can you eat, drink, prostitute and gamble at any time?" ”
Jia Rong blushed and said busily: "Master Mingjian, but Jia Qiang's silver has been spent." In the past few days, he has been going to his uncle's house in Nancheng every day, his uncle's family is very poor, and there is a cousin who gave birth to a child and fell ill, Jia Qiang spent most of the money on his uncle's house. ”
Jia Zhen sneered when she heard this: "Use my Jia family's money to supplement the foreign family, it's good!" That's right, you let the master discipline the evil obstacle to practice calligraphy. If you don't practice well, you will be beaten hard!! In addition, let Lai Sheng ask again, where is the uncle of the evil obstacle to make a living, and cut off their way of life, I want to see how long the evil obstacle can use my Jia family's money to support them! ”
……
West of Rongning Street, Rongguo Mansion.
The back porch of the back door of the inner house goes to the west, along a wide north-south road, and the south-facing inverted seat is a three-room hugging hall.
Jia Rong came out of Ning Mansion and quietly rushed here.
At this time, it was the afternoon rest time, and five or six second-class mothers-in-law and seven or eight girls quietly stood under the corridor of Huxia Xiamen, and took advantage of the wind through the door.
But no one dared to make a noise.
Jia Rong admired it in her heart, and stepped forward to whisper to a woman: "Please ask Mother Lin to go in and tell the second aunt, just say that I have been ordered by the old lady of our family to discuss with the second aunt about inviting the old lady to our house tomorrow morning to enjoy the cool and cool scenery of the play......
The woman whispered, "Two. Grandma just finished dealing with things and rested, she felt light, and woke up at the slightest movement, if she woke up at this time, she would be yellow from a nap today. Uncle Xiao Rong, if there is no urgency, let's wait an hour and come back. ”
Jia Rong said in a hurry: "It's really urgent...... paused and said: "If it wasn't related to the old lady, why would I run around against the big sun?" ”
This woman and her husband Lin Zhixiao are both popular servants in the Rong Mansion, and even Jia Rong has to give them some decency.
After the woman heard this, she didn't say anything more, turned around and entered the hugging house, but a cup of tea came out again, her face was faintly bad, and she said, "Uncle Xiaorong, grandma said, if you don't have an explanation today, you won't be able to get by." ”
Jia Rong sneered, thanked her and hurriedly entered......
"Please Second Aunt An, please Aunt Ping!"
Entering the Zuo Nuan Pavilion of Baoxia, through a beaded curtain, Jia Rong asked for a salute to a beautiful woman lying in the tent, and invited a young girl who was serving outside the tent with silk and silver, gold and silver, and a beautiful appearance.
didn't wait for the girl outside the tent to return the salute, so I listened to the woman in the tent say lazily: "Don't make this strange appearance, come to disturb the old lady's dream at noon, and under the guise of the old lady, if you can't say the name of the hall, I will reward you with a big mouth for a while, and then let people set up a car to go to Dongfu, and let Brother Zhen beat your board!" ”
Hearing this, Jia Rong took two steps forward with a smile on her face, knelt on the ground, and said, "Second aunt, if you don't have any urgency, how dare your nephew disturb you at noon?" ”
The woman is naturally the young grandmother of the housekeeper of the Rong Mansion, Lian Er. Grandma Wang Xifeng, known as Feng Lazi.
The clan is known for its spicy and daring and tough methods.
People who like her praise her as a hero among women, and it is difficult for a man with an idle beard to catch her in case.
Those who hated her scolded her for being a chicken Si Chen, with a ruthless hand and a black smile on the face.
Wang Xifeng was still angry when he got up, and scolded: "Don't talk about your mother's shame, tell me what the hell is going on?" ”
When Jia Rong heard this, she first looked back at the direction outside the door, and after turning her head and smiling at Ping'er again, Fang lowered her voice and said: "Second aunt, it's not because of Brother Qiang'er's affairs, the affairs of our house have never been able to hide secrets, and the second aunt must have heard about Brother Qiang'er." No one else dared to protect him, but the nephew had to ask the second aunt to help him for the sake of my two brothers respecting my aunt in the past. Otherwise, Brother Qiang is afraid that he will be forced to death! ”
After that, he shed tears.
This appearance moved Wang Xifeng and Ping'er......
