Chapter 289: Contradiction (Subscription Requested)
Wang Xifeng was pitted by Mrs. Wang!
Those rich relatives are not so easy to deal with, especially when Mrs. Wang fanned the flames on the side, which made her so depressed that she almost went crazy.
"They are all relatives, so if you can help, you can help!"
went to the old lady to ask for an explanation, but was preached as if she was cold-blooded and ruthless.
Speaking of which, doesn't the old lady just focus on the interests of the Rongguo Mansion, and doesn't care about what ethnicity, what clansmen, etc.?
returned to Rongxi Hall, and when Lian Er returned to the house, he told him about the matter, and finally said angrily: "It's not easy for us to make up our minds about this matter, so we can only ask the eldest master to come forward!" ”
No way, the old lady and the old lady in the second room living in the Rong Mansion now are her elders, and some things are not easy to do too much.
"That's all there is to it!"
Lian Er also had a headache, he didn't expect the matter of clan studies to cause such a big turmoil, which really made him depressed.
But he didn't dare to make his own decisions, so he could only follow his wife's advice and ask the eldest man for help.
"It's simple, let your second uncle go up!"
The eldest master listened to Lian Er's complaints, waved his hand and looked relaxed: "It just so happens that he has been fine recently, let him stare at the Dian clan and learn well, I'm afraid your second uncle is very happy!" ”
The second master of Zheng was naturally very happy, not only did he easily take over the task of supervising the clan study, but also brought his eldest son Jia Zhu with him, are both father and son scholars?
In other words, the second master of politics has had a rather unhappy past year.
The reason is very simple, he took several errands in the Ministry of Engineering, but the result was to do one failure after another, and it was endless.
What made him even more depressed was the loss of money, since the road construction work could not be completed on time, every time he bought a project, the price rolled up.
In one year, he took on three more small projects, and paid 140,000 taels of money to buy the project, but all of them failed.
Because the money spent was too much, although it was all his own private money, it was still exposed in the end.
The second master of Zheng was called by Jia's mother to reprimand him fiercely, and asked why he didn't discuss such a thing with his family, if he had known that she would have personally come forward to ask the eldest master to help, his brother was even mixed up to the point of spending money to buy a project, which is really embarrassing.
This time, Master Zheng Er didn't dare to agree with the old lady's statement, he felt that such a model was very good.
If you really want to follow the old lady's meaning, it is estimated that the eldest master will give him a chance at most once, and then it will be cool.
It's good now, for more than a year, the second master has done five projects in a row, although each one is successful, but this kind of experience is quite rare for the second master.
Because of the continuous acquisition of the right to construct the project, the colleagues of the Ministry of Industry Yamen all knew that the eldest master was supporting him, which made the situation of the second master of the Ministry of Industry much better.
If there is no continuous flow of projects to do, how can colleagues in the Ministry of Engineering take him as a transparent person in their eyes?
Although the eldest lord made him a lot of money, but the second master didn't care too much, so the second master of politics had almost never encountered such a beautiful day when his colleagues looked at each other differently, and the current situation was just right, and there was no need to provoke the eldest master.
For this reason, he even helped the eldest master say a lot of good things, so that he finally persuaded the angry old lady to stop her from getting angry at the eldest master.
It's just that the failure of five projects in a row, not to mention the loss of money and property of the second master of Zheng, has dealt a huge blow to his confidence alone, and even for a while he began to doubt his life.
At this time, he was in a state of recovery from cultivation, and Lian Er came to ask him to help supervise the clan study, which happened to be in line with the mind of the second master of Zheng.
It's just that after arriving at the clan school, the first trouble I encountered was that the children of relatives were not easy to arrange.
"Foolish woman, foolish woman, she wants to ruin the Jia family!"
After understanding the whole story, the second master of Zheng's face was gloomy and terrifying, full of anger or scolding again and again.
Even Jia Zhu, who was brought in to fill the number, did not agree with his mother, Mrs. Wang's means of collecting money.
The second master of Zheng is not a vegetarian, and the children of those relatives are not good birds at first glance, if they are forcibly stuffed into the school specializing in the imperial examination, I am afraid that it will not ruin the atmosphere of the school.
With a wave of his hand, another branch hall was arranged to accommodate them, and the location was next to the Baigong School, which showed how strong the displeasure of the second master of politics was.
Jia Zhu kept persuading on the side, and the second master didn't have a seizure on the spot, but his heart was already full of anger, which was not something that Jia Zhu could suppress with a few words of persuasion.
Just kidding, the performance of the clan study is so good, the second master of Zheng has plans to send Baoyu to school, if the atmosphere here in the school is damaged by his in-laws' children, who should he go to cry to?
The situation on Jia Zhu's side is similar, he is also ready to send Jia Lan to study in the clan, as for the master who was invited, he will tutor Jia Lan in his studies during the days of rest.
After all, Jia Lan is still young, and it is better to go to school with his peers, otherwise he will inevitably become bored with studying alone, even if he asks the best master to tutor him.
In this life, Jia Zhu is not hanging, Li Kun naturally will not put all his hopes on Jia Lan, and his discipline of his son is not as strict as in the original book.
Jia Zhu is not stupid, taking himself as the benchmark and Jia Song of the big house as the goal, he knows that blindly pressuring his son to study is not good, and the little boy's playfulness is too heavy, and blindly suppressing it will only backfire.
Anyway, with him here, it is definitely impossible for Li Kun's mother and son to be ignored by the second room and the entire Rongguo Mansion, the pressure of survival is not so huge, and the burden on Jia Lan's little pot friend is naturally much easier than the original book.
Not to mention, the 'false serious' temperament that the second master of the politics has cultivated over the years, it is really appropriate to supervise the operation of the clan studies, at least the kids who jumped out of the clan studies are very afraid of the second master of the politics with a straight face, which brings a lot of convenience to the management of the clan studies.
Whether it is sincere or pretended, the second master of the political department has great respect for the gentleman of the clan study, of course, this is limited to the gentleman who specializes in teaching the four books and the five classics, as for the gentleman of the Baigong School, although he can't say discrimination, it is difficult to have any admiration.
I heard that after the second master returned to the second room, he quarreled with Mrs. Wang.
Mrs. Wang was quite reluctant the next day, and returned all the benefits sent by her relatives, causing a lot of turmoil.
As for the children of relatives, if they are willing to send them to the clan school to study, then they have to abide by the rules of the clan study.
If you don't want to, you won't be reluctant to study ethnology, and the children of these relatives will not be within the scope of ethnology, and it will not be of the slightest benefit to ethnology to rush in.
"Second child, don't be so harsh, it's all relatives who can get by on face!"
But Jia's mother was unwilling to be lonely, and she didn't know where to hear the rumors, so she actually called the second master of politics to preach.
According to the meaning of her old man, that is, the children of relatives, since they are willing to go to school in the clan school, then let the clan study accept it, anyway, a sheep is a drive, and a group of sheep is also a drive.
It's just that she doesn't know the importance of ethnology at all, and she still looks at ethnology with the old eyes.
The second master of politics did not nod or refute, he naturally refused to accommodate, clan science is a place to cultivate the juniors of the clan, and it is not something that anyone can enter.
"Mother, I want to send Baoyu to the clan to study!"
After Jia's mother finished preaching, the second master of Zheng put forward his opinion: "I just want to study in the school for a few years, maybe I will be able to take the exam at the age of seventeen or eighteen!" ”
"No, Baoyu's body is so weak and she is still so young, what kind of school do you go to?"
Jia Mu categorically vetoed and said dissatisfiedly: "Second child, didn't you invite Mr. to teach at home, anyway, they are all learning things, where to learn is not the same?" ”
The second master of Zheng's face stiffened, although his heart was very unhappy, he still maintained a respectful demeanor on his face.
Jia Baoyu studying at home?
Are you kidding?
Do you really think he doesn't know, this kid is followed by a beautiful maid, every time he is taught by Mr., it is either this pain or that uncomfortable, as long as he shows such a reaction, the pretty girls around him are like asking for their lives, not to mention disturbing the primary school, but also to report to Jia's mother as soon as possible, and take away Shang Baoyu's bastard.
Fortunately, the invited gentleman has a good temper, otherwise such a student would have left long ago.
What's even more unpleasant for the second master of politics is that Baoyu's behavior has affected Jia Lan, who is studying together, for this matter, the eldest son Jia Zhu has said it a few times, and Mr. has said it a few times, either explicitly or secretly, and the second master has already held back a breath of evil fire in his heart.
At present, the culture of studying and reading is very good, and the second master of Zheng feels that if Baoyu studies in such an atmosphere, Jinyi will definitely be quite good.
It's a pity that he encountered the biggest obstacle - Jia Mu!
"Mother, Baoyu is nine years old!"
This time, the second master of Zheng was ready to take a hand, and said stubbornly: "I have arranged a small courtyard for Baoyu in the outer courtyard of the second room, and Baoyu will move there in the future!" ”
"What, you bastard still want to take Baoyu away, isn't this gouging out my heart?"
Jia Mu was not happy when she heard this, and said angrily; "If you don't believe it, I resolutely don't agree, Baoyu must stay in Rongqing Hall to accompany the old woman!"
The second master of Zheng's face turned a little blue, but he still stubbornly said: "Then he must move to the outer courtyard to live alone, and he has to go to the clan school to go to school honestly!" ”
"What, second brother, are you bargaining with me?"
Jia Mu didn't take it, and sneered: "I said that if I don't let Baoyu go to the clan to learn, I won't let you, just ask Mr. to teach alone!" ”
"I don't say yes!"
The second master of Zheng went out, and said with a stiff neck: "The Zhu'er of the big house is almost finished reading the four books, Baoyu is still studying Mengxue, anyway, I can't afford to lose that person!" ”
Big house, big room again!
Jia's mother was angry enough, but seeing that her youngest son was rarely persistent, although she was extremely unhappy, she also knew that she couldn't stop it, after all, the second child was Baoyu's father, if she really made the second child angry, she would not have a good life for Baoyu in the future.
"Okay, if you want Baoyu to learn from the clan, you can't be too harsh!"
After thinking about it, Jia Mu finally compromised.
