At the beginning of April, Mr. Qin's breaking point was mostly taught, poor pampered Qin Zhong, the four books have not been read through, Jia Cong looked at the changes in the grass and trees in the courtyard, the buds of spring have already become the bright lights of summer, it turns out that time flies so fast, a soul from another world, to a strange and familiar time and space, has gone through more than a quarter.

He is such a diligent and studious person, always unwilling to live a mediocre life, that life, the interest in Chinese studies, in reality is completely useless, but at this age of scholars as the backbone, there is an ambition, but at this age, this back to the light of Jiafu, the era of harsh etiquette, thinking back to what he has done, it is really not much, and every step is taken carefully, not to show mistakes.

Later generations say that feudalism is sad, but people are nostalgic. In that era of less innocence, people in the early 21st century miss the purity of the 20th century, just like Maggie Cheung's "In the Mood for Love", and the more ancient is the era he returned to, Yangzhou Jinling Suzhou, which is already full of red sleeves, just like the ancient down-and-out genius, dreaming of a beautiful story. But in any era, there is a pain that belongs to it, everything in the past, bloody in front of us, the new century of the previous life, there is no three, six, nine, etc., the society still divides people into hierarchies, how many people have become slaves of money?

Teacher Qin said that the eight-strand essay should be closely related to the topic, to the point, and clear atmosphere, Qin Ye taught him with the experience of people who came to him, and to solve the problem, he must break it well. How many hundred candidates are there in a county exam? How can the county have time to take a closer look? If it's not good, the first impression is not good.

These have something in common with the exams in his previous life.

Fortunately, it is not in the south of the Yangtze River, that place of cultural prosperity, the competition is particularly fierce, in Nanjing of the Qing Dynasty, the candidates of the Jiangnan Tribute Academy reached more than 20,000, and the admission was only more than 200.

Candidates in the southwest are lucky and unlucky, fortunately the admission line is low, the number is fixed, it is said that a candidate in the southwest only wrote the broken question, the question, followed by the word "and husband", originally only wrote the beginning of the eight-strand text, but the examiner said "there is a great intention to speak", admitted.

In this regard, the candidates in Jiangnan are going to express their grief and indignation.

However, the education level and conditions of that place are far inferior to those in Jiangnan, and if they are admitted according to the same level, Yunnan and Guizhou provinces may be wiped out, and the education level is uneven, and the same is true in ancient and modern times.

……

Riding a donkey and mule to relax, when he learned to ride a horse and shoot arrows, the thighs on both sides were worn out of the skin, fortunately, the emperor lived up to his heart, how did the two hands also train the muscles, a hard lump, so that he was a little gratified. This night or in front of the Tianqi Temple dismounted, a few small Taoist priests were sweeping the steps, walked into the Taoist temple, and saw two waves of people arguing, one side was the king Taoist, and the other side was blue-eyed and high-nosed.

Lustful people? From a foreign country? Jia Cong felt novel, and it is not strange to see foreigners in modern times, which country are the missionaries of this era? When they finished arguing, the group of foreigners were chattering, as if they were indignant, and Jia Cong tried to step forward and wave his hand, saying in old English: "Hey! How are you guys? It's a sunny day! ”

The group of foreigners was silent for a moment, and James, the leader, opened his mouth wide, and suddenly was ecstatic, and wanted to give him a hug, but thinking of the different customs, he stopped, and replied in Old English in surprise: "Oh! My God! I'm fine, what about you? ”

Wang Daoist stared wide, Jia Qing happily communicated with this group of foreigners, they also know Chinese, but it seems blunt, it turns out that they are missionaries from Great Britain, who crossed the ocean to Middle-earth, to convey the gospel of God, after all, time and space have changed, Jia Qing does not know how the West is developing, he learned that this group of missionaries is not treated by the Celestial Empire, they went to Beijing to give gifts to the ministers, the emperor gave a decree, not allowing them to open churches, if it is a foreign envoy, the Celestial Empire thinks that "all nations come to the dynasty", would rather lose money, it will also be very favorable, Missionaries are not easy to mix. The two of their leaders are called William and James, Western science and technology are still advancing in this time and space, Jia Cong communicated with them, but he was powerless to help them.

Outside the door on the right, there was a man in civilian clothes with a knife who had been watching, and when Jia Cong came out, the man said lukewarmly: "Little brother, do you speak a foreign language?" It's a pity not to be a generalist. ”

The general officer is the translator, well, that is, the kind of traitor who often appears in TV dramas. Jia Cong quietly glanced at the scabbard and handle of the man's waist, knowing that it was Jinyiwei, and replied, "I was lucky enough to learn a little from people from the south coast." ”

The brocade-clothed guard, his eyes are as sharp as an eagle's falcon, not to mention the person who spies on the missionary, he is full of evil energy, tall, with a pointed chin, dark and yellow skin, and a cold temperament.

Jia Cong hugged his fists and left, he has always had the idea of opening a book club to make money, and by the way, he also wants to properly guide the progressive doctrine of the West, and today I saw a few Westerners, and I even came up with this idea, but I have to wait until I have a firm foothold.

Back in the study of Qin's mansion, Qin Zhong fell asleep on the table, under his white little face, his cheeks were squirming, he was grinding his teeth, and a few pieces of saliva were dripping from the rice paper on the case, Jia Cong was secretly funny, Sun Fu was back, Jia Cong didn't bother him, went to the kang in the east wing, and asked Sun Fu to return the situation truthfully one by one.

Jia Cong frowned: "Ning Guofu expanded the yard and encroached on the homestead along the street, is it indeed true?" Have you ever been asked? ”

"I've asked, Master Cong, these are old cases, and Uncle Zhen doesn't dare to blatantly encroach on them, there are many Zhuangzi in the house, and there is a lot of money, so it's okay to send them away, but ...... The upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, those housekeepers are also greedy for money, some households can't get money at all, and they are in the hands of the slaves, how dare they sue the officials? Sun Fudao.

In fact, although Jia Mu of Rongguo Mansion is eccentric, she is unambiguous in major matters, just say that Mama Wang, even if Jia Cong doesn't let the law go away now, later Jia Mu ordered to play the board and drive away, and it can be seen that he does not hinder his study. And Ning Guofu is even worse and more defeated than Rongguo Mansion. Leng Zixing told Jia Yucun that Jia Zhen turned over Ning Guofu.

recorded well, Jia Cong sent Sun Fu thirty taels, a total of fifty taels, Sun Fu didn't dare to overcharge, Jia Cong didn't take it back, he did what he said, and said that he would go to see the little pomegranate more, which was regarded as making up for his own burden, and Sun Fu became more and more desperate for him.

Jia Cong didn't think about it first, he did push-ups and sit-ups on the bed, it was already hot in summer, and there were mosquitoes, soaking wet, going to bathe, Sun Fu and Qin Tong came in to light incense, closed the door and went out, Jia Cong practiced Xiaokai meditation again, and showed his homework to Qin Ye in the west wing, before returning to the room to open the file and thinking silently.

First of all, the official prostitute Peifeng, it was the eunuch Dai Quan who ordered it to be released, and Jia Cong crossed it out, this article is unacceptable: whether Dai Quan has returned to the emperor or not, it involves Dai Quan, and he can't get through it in the celebrant eunuch, maybe he can't get through it with the political secretary!

Secondly, the matter of Kailuan can be attributed to the robbery of the people's daughter, with her parents and neighbors testifying, they dare not testify and are not afraid, Liu Yushi can be heard, according to the "Dashun Law", the nobles robbed the people's daughters are also punished with rods.

Third, in the Zhuangzi of Ningguo Mansion, tenants collect rent in a variety of names, exacting taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and land annexation, and some relatives and households attribute the land to Dongfu and evade taxes, which can make a big fuss.

Fourth, unreasonably encroaching on people's houses, the minions are up and down, and they don't give silver, including the tenants above, the people's hearts are available, a little bewitched, Jia Cong has a way to make Jia Zhen ruined, is Jia Zhen's combat effectiveness high? Otherwise, if he takes off his title and the power of the patriarch, Jia Cong can kill him!

Of course, now it is immortal, except for picking up ashes, Jia Zhen is much better to Jia Mansion? Worse more?

Jia Cong looks at Jia Zhen's problem without much emotion, picking up ashes? Is it just Jia Fu? Tracing back to the source, by extension, many nobles of the Shun Dynasty are the same, and it is useless for you to criticize, ask yourself, are you perfect?

He is inseparable from Jiafu now, it is difficult to divide the family and the sect, Jia Zhen is a person, not to mention the above, but it is still a scourge in the back.

In all fairness, Jia Zhen's ability to do things is not at all, at least not like Jia Zheng, who was teased by the minions, and most of the people in Jiafu went out to the Tieji Temple to pray for blessings, and Jia Zhen was still able to organize and arrange his subordinates and clansmen.

However, Jia Zhen is a complete sensual dog and horse in her bones, insatiable, not to mention picking up ashes and playing with her sister-in-law, there are three acts in Dream of Red Mansions, which laid the groundwork for the demise of Ning Guofu.

The first is that Qin Keqing's funeral was extremely arrogant, and it is obvious that Jia Zhengdu's reminder is inappropriate, and Jia Zhen insists on going her own way. The second is that Zhuangtou Wujin Xiaojin entered Beijing to pay tribute, Jia Zhen and Jia Rong talked to him about the situation in Xifu, saying that Wang Xifeng was also poor, and Mrs. Wang couldn't afford to give gifts for entertainment, so she asked Mandarin Duck to steal Jia's mother's things, and then, Jia Zhen said, he has a way to make money, what is the way?

Don't worry, I will prompt later, that is, the third, through You Shi's hearing and witnessing, it is implied that Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen both received the stolen silver of the Zhen family in Jiangnan, and the Zhen family had been copied at that time, Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen harbored the stolen silver, and the degree of death was really speechless!

Moreover, Jia Zhen harbored stolen silver, all for his own use, they did not have the slightest sense of danger, precautions, extravagance, in the name of martial arts, openly gambling, singing every night, drunk and dreaming of death, that happy, dirty and ugly words made You Shi blush, this is the so-called aristocracy? Descendants of the Duke of Guo? Superior?

The patriarch Jia Zhen is like this, the clansman Jia Qin and the like are even more powerful, Jia Qin is also gambling and drinking in Shuiyue Nunnery, the nuns of Shuiyue Nunnery, I am afraid that they have all been greeted by him, this temple is so clean!

After thinking about this large number of things, Jia Cong copied another file that could be used, smiled weirdly, used his brain, writing, and made up a few stories.

The next day, Jia Cong told Qin Ye that he wanted to go home, although there were letters exchanged in the past few days, but it was only half a day back and forth, Qin Yeci and Zhong were stern: "You can't fall behind in your homework, your problem-solving, the county test is enough, but you can leave the hometown test, the meeting test is still far away." ”

Jia Cong does not reject this kind of strictness, think about his previous life, how much he hates the strict teacher, only after graduation does he know that this kind of teacher is good, that kind of hatred, but just laugh it off, the teacher's strictness is a kind of responsibility, he nodded obediently, Qin Ye sighed: "I have been sick for the teacher for a few days, and the court ordered me to take the officials and engineers of the Ministry of Industry to Yongding River." ”

"When did the teacher leave?"

"Leave in May, you don't have to come, come back in July or August." Qin Ye knew that this disciple had helped him spend a lot, and he didn't say anything, but he was happy in his heart for his understanding.

Is there still a rule for the imperial court to send officials of the Ministry of Works out? Local river governance has always been the business of local officials, however, Qin Ye is afraid that he understands these things, and Jia Zheng can do academic politics, and the Shun Dynasty can't take the Ming and Qing dynasties, Jia Cong worried: "The teacher is old, and it is inconvenient to go out of Beijing, why don't you let the students accompany you?" The teacher knows that the students are quite interested in the management of the river, and besides, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books, and the students will ask for the consent of their families. ”

Qin Ye thought to himself: "At his age, it is really rare to have this kind of thought, no matter how heavy the eight shares are, they can't be as heavy as the national economy and people's livelihood......" and nodded.

Qin Zhong shouted that he was going to go, Qin Ye didn't allow it, because Jia Cong interceded, he reluctantly agreed, in the end, his son was different from his disciple, he was old and had a son, for fear that something would happen to his son, although Jia Cong was younger than his son, he was more at ease, and the two packed up and went back to Jiafu first.

On the way, the two brothers watched the city's popular customs, and their moods were very cheerful, Qin Zhong thought for a while and asked, "Zili, do you and your sister have something to hide from me?" ”

"No, you're thinking too much." Jia Cong didn't plan to tell him that Qin Zhong couldn't help, and it would be bad to know.

Qin Zhong didn't ask, returned to Jia Yuyuan, and asked An to meet, Qin Ye's letter praised Jia Cong a lot, and Mrs. Xing didn't blame him, if it was before, she would have said that he wasted money, Mrs. Xing was also perfunctory to Qin Zhong, she only had money and face in her eyes, and she didn't look down on Qin Zhong. Jia Yu was probably also satisfied, and took the letter to Jia Zheng's study to show off at night.

Qingwen didn't see Jia Cong for months, but she was a little unaccustomed to it, and wanted to ask him about his condition, but Jia Cong said that there was something urgent, so she hurriedly served two cups of tea, and he and Qin Zhong went to Dongfu again.

……

"Didn't Uncle Cong come with you?" Qin Keqing took his younger brother's hand in the flower hall, shushed the cold and asked for warmth, and only treated him as a child.

"Zili went to find Uncle Zhen." Qin Zhong rubbed in her arms: "Sister, why don't you call him junior brother?" ”

Qin Keqing said angrily: "Qin Mansion is Qin Mansion, Jia Mansion is Jia Mansion, the generations can't be messed up, and they can't be wrong." Come, my sister has made it to the exam. ”

The sleeves of the shirt were lightly rolled and the ink was polished, but the eyes did not look at the inkstone, but only stared at the lotus leaf duckweed in the pond outside the flower hall.

As soon as the file was placed on the table between the cousins, browsing at will, Jia Zhen's face became more and more ugly.

Jia Cong clenched his fists and knocked on the table, matching his eight-year-old face, which was particularly cute, and he was heartbroken: "Brother Zhen! This Liu Yushi is too arrogant! I don't take our Jia Mansion seriously at all! He said that he was the imperial history of Xicheng, we are in Xicheng, and he has the right to play the matter of Brother Zhen, saying that he wants to go straight to the sky! How big is this! ”

Jia Zhenhu said suspiciously: "Brother Cong, is this true?" How do you know? Does Liu Dongsheng, who killed a thousand knives, really want to join me? ”

"More than just a book? It's several, Brother Jane! Jia Cong gritted his teeth: "It's a coincidence, Liu Yushi saw that I was doing a good job, so he praised it, and allowed me to visit him in his study...... Brother Jane, little brother is talking about your safety......"

Jia Cong frowned and was indignant, this acting skill can win the Oscar.

Jia Zhen believed it a little, he wanted to break his head, he would not think that Jia Cong was calculating him, even if Jia Cong defeated Wang Xifeng, after all, the two had no discord or grudge. The color on his face, red for a while, white for a while, people are complicated, Jia Zhen is a bully at home, but when he was scolded and ridiculed by Third Sister You, he immediately blushed and fled.

In other words, Jia Zhen is unscrupulous behind his back, but in front of people, he is still ashamed, so many illegal incidents have been known by his cousin, what about his face? Uncomfortable!

At the same time, I was worried that he was just a nobleman, he had no power, and he was included in the imperial history, wouldn't it be a great shame to cut off the title? This kind of glory, wealth and power, he doesn't want to lose.

"How is it good? Big brother knows that you are smart and not like an ordinary child. Jia Zhen was anxious.

"Alas......" Jia Cong sighed, in terms of treachery, Jia Zhen is not as good as him in two lives: "No matter how smart I am, I am also a child, then Liu Yushi, in the end, found out about the little brother's move, so he said: If Brother Zhen releases the Qin family and advocates that the Qin family and Uncle Xiao Rong reconcile, he can not blame the past......"

"Huh?" Jia Zhen said gloomily: "How can this matter involve the Qin family?" ”

Jia Cong said bitterly: "Brother Zhen, don't you understand the relationship network of officialdom? Our four major families can protect each other, Liu Yushi and Qin Langzhong are Jinshi in the same year, what's so strange about the relationship between the two? Moreover, the younger brother is also selfish, and we are fellow clansmen, not only to share difficulties, but also to maintain the reputation of our own lintel. ”

Jia Zhen became uneasy, could it be that the Qin family and Qin Langzhong hinted at it? Qin Langzhong asked Liu Yushi to come forward again? It's hard to say about being impeached, it may fall here, or it may be fine, release the Qin family, how is it possible, I just want to succeed...... No, it's a big deal to ask the second master of Xifu to ask him to help intercede with Wang Ziteng, and then send some more things to Grandpa Dai, so that Liu Yushi's recital is stuck in the celebrant supervisor...... Finally slowly clean him up......

"No! The Qin family didn't commit the seven rules, even if they were reconciled, Rong'er and the Qin family didn't have anything to discord with, how could it be like words? Up and down the mansion, even the old lady loves the Qin family, how can she be reconciled? Brother Cong, this is Liu Yushi framing me indiscriminately, maybe he has some grievances with me, such as his relatives and my minions fighting for land and real estate. You did a good job, big brother doesn't know how to thank you, don't worry, I can settle this matter. ”

Jia Zhen's tone was resolute, domineering and abnormal, and she was also deeply moved by Jia Cong, so she didn't care about her thoughts of flirting with her daughter-in-law, arranged a thank you gift for Jia Cong, and hurriedly instructed Xi'er and Shou'er to go to Dai's mansion to give gifts, and she went to Xifu to intercede.

Throwing a few pieces of silk to Sun Fu, although Jia Cong's face was expressionless, his heart was gloomy, he originally planned to deal with Qin Keqing's matter simply, where did he think that Jia Zhen didn't know how to lift, then don't blame him for being more ruthless!

A qualified politician will not let the finger point at himself from the beginning, and how many cabinet ministers' official fights, monarchs and ministers' fights are all taking advantage of the young imperial history and giving the first place in the matter, making these little brothers rush forward with a roar, it is better to do it. Jia Cong will not let himself be in the open, the enemy is bright and I am in the dark, so I can prepare countless follow-up moves.

A violent storm is coming.
