The New Year's festival is approaching, and the whole capital is lively.

The street was crowded with people and vendors, and it was when petty theft was most rampant, and the eldest lord sat in the Shuntian Mansion and sent almost all the officials out to maintain order on the street and arrest the thieves who committed crimes against the wind, and his request was not to let go of a thief.

As officials stepped up patrols and deterrence on the streets, sure enough, during the most lively period of buying New Year's goods, the crime rate on the streets of Beijing was much lower than usual.

All the thieves who were arrested were reformed through labor, and in the morning and evening on the streets of the capital, you could see everywhere the scene of the thieves being escorted by officials to clean up, which became a scene on the street for a while.

The eldest man did not deliberately work overtime for himself, but went up and down normally.

On the twentieth day of the lunar month, but Jia's mother repeatedly asked that the eldest master take Yingchun and Jia Song, who lived in another courtyard, back to the house.

"Don't live outside anymore, the old woman likes the spring girl very much!"

In Rongqing Hall, Yingchun occupied the position of Baoyu before, and was held in the arms of Jia's mother, so she was not affectionate, and Jia's mother said to the eldest master.

Hehe......

Didn't you see the unpleasant eyes of the second daughter-in-law that couldn't be hidden?

The eldest man was noncommittal, smiled and said, "I will be six years old after the New Year, I have to teach her some house martial arts, and I will start reading and reading, and I will have no time at that time!" ”

"What nonsense!"

Jia Mu was dissatisfied; "What kind of martial arts do girls practice, besides, people like us, girls can learn a few words, there is no need to ask Mr. to teach!"

"This can't be done!"

In terms of children's teaching, the eldest master has no intention of backing down, and said with a smile, "It's just a trip to practice soft boxing, which is very good for strengthening the body, and it won't be practiced like a real martial artist, it's just a means of fitness and self-defense!" ”

There is no need for a heavy hammer to ring the drum, the eldest lord served as the queen of the Shuntian Mansion, but he offended a lot of powerful people, who knows if some people will use that killing method?

Jia Mu obviously understood, and nodded with a stunned expression and did not object again.

"As for the matter of asking Mr. to teach, this can't be saved!"

The old man smiled and said, "When Yingchun grows up, it is natural to contact everyone next to him, and it is easy and simple for people to make poems and lyrics one by one, and Yingchun can't even understand the words!" ”

Mother Jia was speechless for a while, she had been out of the circle of noblemen in the capital for too long, and she had no idea what the little girl was playing now, so she had to nod and say okay after listening to the words of the eldest master.

"Hehe, Uncle said he was laughing!"

Mrs. Wang didn't hold back her unhappiness, and said with a smile: "Women should learn more about knitting and embroidery, and it doesn't matter if they read or not!" ”

But in his heart, he roared wildly, Yingchun is a little girl, how can she enjoy the same treatment as Yuanchun.

And she still has a layer of worry, seeing that the eldest lord's official fortune is prosperous, who knows if he has any plans to cultivate the Spring Festival and then send it to the palace?

Just in case, Mrs. Wang must not allow the spring to shine, and there is no idea to come to fruition.

The eldest lord naturally doesn't know what Mrs. Wang thinks in her heart, if he knows, he will definitely spray her with something on her face, don't think that others are as stupid as you!

"Hehe, it's not that there is no embroidery at home, everyone understands such ideas, how can you spend time on it?"

That is to say, about his daughter's upbringing, the eldest master had the heart to talk to Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang, and said indifferently, "The most important thing for Miss Everyone, is to learn to be a housekeeper, as for reading, reasoning, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, as well as embroidery, boudoirs and other things, you can learn according to your interests, there is no need to pay too much attention to it!" ”

Why?

Yingchun is just a girl, and she has to be cultivated according to the standards of everyone's young lady?

Mrs. Wang was not happy in her heart, but unfortunately her words had no effect at all, and it was not her turn to put her beak on how the eldest master wanted to raise the little girl who welcomed the Spring Festival.

"Forget it, poor little Yingchun is going to suffer hardship!"

Mother Jia hugged the delicate and lively, the body was strong and blushing, and the little face was very good, and she smiled and had fun with the little girl.

Fortunately, the little girl in the Spring Festival has a good temperament, she can have dealings with Jia's mother, and she can calm down without making trouble, so she really won Jia's mother's sincere love.

"Boss, the old woman really likes the little girl in the spring, so it's better to put it in the house to raise it!"

Jia's mother thought for a while and proposed, "It just so happens that Tanchun will be two years old next year, so it's good to let the two little sisters learn and play together!" ”

Mrs. Wang almost blurted out that she was going to object, if she hadn't clenched her silver teeth at the last moment, she was afraid that she would make a fool of herself on the spot, but the anger in her heart kept rising.

Speaking of which, although the second master of politics is frustrated in officialdom, he is very beautiful in terms of heirs.

gave birth to the concubine Tanchun and the concubine Jia Huan for two consecutive years, and the concubine Tanchun was taken by Mrs. Wang to raise her, and naturally she didn't have a good impression of this concubine with her temperament, but it was just a face-saving feeling.

Now that I hear the meaning of the old lady, it seems that she wants to cultivate Tanchun as a young lady, so she is not happy, how can a concubine be treated like this?

"Let's let Lian Er arrange another quiet courtyard, so as not to disturb the old lady's rest!"

The eldest lord did not object, he admired the educational method of entertaining, Yingchun will only be six years old next year, and Tanchun is only two years old, there is no need to give them too much homework, and they don't need to spend that energy on the imperial examination?

"Okay, good, then the old woman will have to see the level of the gentleman you invited, boss!"

Mother Jia's heart was relieved, and she smiled and joked.

It's really not easy to let the boss loosen his mouth, but fortunately, although this guy has a weird temper, he is not so weird that he really cares about filial piety.

"By the way, the Spring Festival has been arranged, what about Zhu'er?"

After thinking about it, Jia Mu remembered Jia Song, who had never paid attention to it, and looking at the boss's posture, it was obvious that she should focus on cultivating this concubine.

If she could, she wished that the eldest master would spend all his educational resources on Jia Baoyu, that was a child with great creation, and whether Rongguo Mansion could rise again in the future depended on that child.

I just want to know that this is simply not possible.

However, Jia's mother has no intention of giving up, as long as the eldest lord puts Jia Song's upbringing in the mansion, she has the means to raise the concubine and let the educational resources invited by the eldest master be used on Baoyu.

"Zhu'er is still young, first practice martial arts with me to strengthen my body, and it's not too late to start enlightenment when I reach the age of five!"

Although I don't know what Jia Mu's idea is, the eldest master doesn't care at all, it is indeed as Jia Mu guessed, he is ready to spend energy to cultivate Jia Song, how can he make a little master come out.

If it weren't for the fact that Lian was old and married a wife and was about to have children, and he entered the officialdom and had no spare time, I am afraid that the eldest man would not let go of this guy.

The second daughter-in-law's waste policy still worked, although Lian Er's ability to work smartly was okay because of the environment in which he grew up, but his temperament was a little soft.

At the bottom of the officialdom in the capital, such a temperament is quite suitable, at least it will not give Shangguan the feeling of being too sharp.

It's just that when he is promoted to the fifth rank or above, such a temperament is not suitable for being a chief officer, and it is not a good thing for his future future.

Also, after all, this is the era of feudal dynasties, and it is very important to have a strong body, and it would be even better if there was enough force to protect yourself.

"Song'er is still so young and wants to practice martial arts with you, isn't it too eager?"

Mother Jia frowned, the eldest master's idea made her completely unaware of how to intervene, and besides, she was reluctant to practice martial arts and endure hardships.

"It's nothing, the old lady has to have confidence in my strength!"

The eldest lord didn't care, and said with a smile, "It's Baoyu, it's almost time to start enlightenment, right?" ”

"When Yuan Chun was still there, he had already taught Baoyu to learn the "Three Character Classic"!"

Speaking of her beloved baby grandson, Mother Jia suddenly had a happy face, and said proudly with such an idea, "The master of clan studies also said that Baoyu is smart and clever, as long as she goes to school and reads quickly!" ”

The conversation changed and smiled, "But at the moment, Baoyu is still young, let him relax and relax first, and when he is older, his body and bones will be better, and he will be sent to the clan to study!" ”

The eldest lord nodded and didn't say anything more.

The second room is very guarded against him, if he talks too much about Baoyu, I am afraid that he will be suspected of having other intentions, so why bother with it?

Don't you have Mrs. Wang's stiff face, I really think that the eldest lord is rare Jia Baoyu.

Speaking of clan studies, after the patriarch Jia Zhen vigorously rectified, the current school atmosphere is much better.

With the examination lifting mechanism, those children of the clan who go to school and the children of relatives can no longer regard the clan study as a place for fun and eating white food, and they are often ranked last and have a stubborn temperament, but they will be expelled from the imperial examination school, if their parents agree to directly enter the Baigong School to learn a craft.

According to the meaning of the newly hired Mr. in the school, as long as he teaches well and does not say that he is admitted to the Jinshi, most of the students can be admitted to Xiucai, even if the examination has three or four layers of certainty.

This is already very remarkable, the eldest lord, as the manager of the Shuntian Mansion, knows how deep the water of the imperial examination is, which involves the tacit suppression of the literati group against the Xungui military general group, such as Ning Rong's second mansion wants to change the court from martial arts to literature, but it has not succeeded until now and knows the difficulty.

From the founding of the country to the present, nearly a hundred years ago, the Xungui family has only produced a jinshi like Jia Jing, so you know how muddy the water is.

I really think that Xungui's children are all playboys, although Jia Jing has a good talent for reading, but if he hadn't been born in the heyday of Ning Rong's Second Mansion, I'm afraid that he would be able to take the Tongjin Shi exam at most, and many things can't stand up to careful scrutiny.

Of course, if the students in the clan studies really have the ability, the eldest master does not mind being strong, and fights with the literati group, so that they know the strength of the eldest master, at least let the children of the clan have a fair environment when they take the imperial examination!

Some people just couldn't stand the chatter, and a maid came in to report that Uncle Shangzhen of Ningguo Mansion was here.
