Chapter 8 Jia is not fake, white jade is a horse for the hall, and Qiong is not poor, and the side branches of Jiafu are really poor

The fish in the middle of the stream are plump, and I thought that if I brought a few back every day, I would definitely improve the food of my mother and sister.

Just now, I was thinking about how to do it, and I was studying, so I couldn't go fishing, and I didn't have a hook.

The salt and iron official camp itself is very scarce due to the problem of production, and some people even do not have complete iron pots and iron knives. And there are fishing hooks there. He couldn't steal his mother's needlework needle to make a fishing hook.

It is also a misunderstanding of thinking.

It wasn't until he saw the thorns under everyone's crotch that he remembered that he could weave a simple fish cage by himself to catch fish.

You don't need to be staring all the time.

And you don't need to be delicate and good-looking, you just need to shape, the mesh doesn't need to be too big, and it's convenient to run water, so it's still very simple. Not only have I seen it in my previous life, but I have seen it many times in this life, and in the chessboard alley south of Ningrong Street, there is an old man Hu who specializes in basketry. Jia Qiong has also seen it many times.

Think and do it.

Then he got up, straightened his clothes, and shouted to Jia Yun, "Brother Yun, accompany me to the back of the academy." ”

By the stream, Jia Qiong put a few stones into the fish cage that had just been made.

and stuffed in the bird, which had been peeled all the time.

This little bird is the bird's nest that Jia Yun just dug up the tree.

Originally, Jia Qiong just wanted to get a few bird eggs, break them and put them in.

I didn't expect to get a baby bird.

"Brother Joan, what are you and Brother Yun doing here? Fishing? ”

The sudden sound startled Jia Qiong and Jia Yun.

Looking back, I don't know when, in the shadow of the tall red maple tree, this person was standing.

At noon, the sun was particularly dazzling, making people dizzy, and the two people who were squatting suddenly got up, their vision was blurred, and they put it away for a long time, but when they looked closely, it was Jia Zhu standing in the shadows.

"I'm in the front yard, and you're asking them where the wattles are? I don't look like you like someone who likes to play with them, so that's why you come along. ”

"If there is anything missing, please ask Brother Qiong to understand."

After speaking, Jia Zhu put his right hand in his left hand, folded his hands, and bowed his head in the direction of Jia Qiong.

Even if it is an apology, it gives people a sense of humility and elegance, which makes it difficult for people to feel any dissatisfaction.

"Brother Zhu, this is not a confidential matter, besides, they are all their own brothers, and they have nothing to say to others. Why? ”

Looking at Jia Zhu with a sincere face, Jia Qiong also immediately tidied up the clothes that had just been messed up and bowed back.

"Brother Joan, I have a question for my brother, please help me solve my doubts."

After Jia Qiong stretched out his hand to signal. Jia Zhu continued:

"In the morning, even if I was tired, I took a break, only Brother Joan has been working hard to write, I see that Brother Joan is quite eager to learn, not afraid of tiredness, nor has he looked left and right, and must be a person who does not change his will for other things.

Now that you and Brother Yun are playing such a game here, wouldn't you put the cart before the horse. I think Brother Qiong must not be such a person, so I invite my brother to do so. I hope my brother will give me advice."

Jia Qiong looked at Jia Zhu in a daze, first dazed, then stunned, and finally relieved.

Jia Zheng's eldest son, he must not touch the spring water with his fingers, and someone will help him with all the dishes, so he doesn't need to think about superfluous affairs, and it is not too unusual to ask this question.

Some of them are amazing.

Not to mention anything else, in terms of mentality, it is far beyond his peers, and in the scene in the hall, Jia Qiong dared to come to this conclusion. At that time, when Jia Dairu punished Jia Yun and Jia Qiang, Jia Zhuna smiled without any disdain, let alone contempt. It shows that his heart must be far more than people of the same age.

Secondly, judging from the Analects he reads, his talent is far beyond that of others. Originally, Jia Lian, Jia Rui, Jia Heng, and Jia Chen were a few years older than him. The books I read are hard for others to beat.

There are 20 Analects, totaling 492 chapters and about 16,000 words. If you add all kinds of notes, there are two or three hundred thousand words. In addition, the Analects are mainly in the form of quotations, supplemented by narratives, and present the political ideas, ethical thoughts, moral concepts, educational principles and other theories of Confucius and Confucianism, covering a wide range of topics.

And the university that others read was originally the forty-second chapter of the "Little Dai Li Ji". It's just one of them.

started reciting yang goods at this age, and had to let Jia Qionggao take a look.

However, after all, the experience is still shallow.

Jia Qiong immediately glanced at Jia Zhu a few more times, and in his puzzled gaze, he said bluntly: "Brother Zhu, it's serious." Fishing, naturally, is for food. ”

Unexpectedly, Jia Qiong's explanation made Jia Zhu even more confused, and then asked:

"Mr. Today also once said, 'The school will provide us with pen, ink, paper, inkstone, clothes, food, tea, and snacks, and we only need to study hard, and we don't need to think about trivial chores.' Why do the Joan brothers still fish and eat? ”

These words also made Jia Qiong even more convinced that the two governments only focused on the knowledge in books for his training, and cultivated very little for others, and his experience was seriously insufficient.

In addition to books, the education may also be the personal contacts of the prince's mansion, at least the etiquette is impeccable. However, not much is known about people's livelihood.

Jia Qiong felt that Jia Zheng was a bit of putting the cart before the horse, if he didn't pay attention to the people's livelihood, it would be okay to say, but he didn't know the approximate living standard of the clan's children, how to be kind to the clan brothers, even if he rewarded the silver, he didn't know how much to give. I was relieved when I thought of Jia Zheng's description in the original work of Red Mansions.

How similar father and son.

Then he explained: "Although the clan provides us with pen, ink, paper, inkstone, clothes, food, tea, and snacks, they also say that we only need to study hard, and we don't need to think about trivial matters.

However, our family was struggling to make ends meet, and although I had enough to eat in the canteen, my mother and sister could not. and we are not allowed to bring back what we have eaten.

My heart is not at ease, today I have this opportunity, knowing that the fish here are fat, just make baskets to fish, in order to help the family's rations, and in the future, only need to harvest at night, that is, there is a harvest, I should eliminate all difficulties, in order to help the family. ”

"Brother Joan, why is your family so difficult. You need to do this with this six-year-old body. ”

Jia Qiong looked at the surprised Jia Zhu again, and muttered in her heart: "These sons and brothers who are raised in these deep mansions are really comfortable, and they can stretch out their hands and eat to open their mouths, how good it would be if they were reincarnated in their family at that time." ’

After a while, he said: "Brother Zhu, your monthly silver is about five taels." However, these five taels are enough for our family to live a little harder for a season. ”

Jia Zhu looked at Jia Qiong with a blushing face, he was a little ashamed to speak, and he also silently calculated in his heart, "His Jia Zhu's monthly example is five taels a month, a full twenty taels of silver a month, which is used for his extra expenses."

According to Brother Qiong'er, he can spend money in January, which is enough for a family like Jia Qiong to live for a year. ’

seemed to understand why Jia Qiong said this to him. Then he made a deep bow to Jia Qiong and said: "Thank you Brother Qiong, for brother, this is the mistake of 'why not eat minced meat'"

Looking at Jia Zhu's serious appearance, Jia Qiong couldn't help laughing. Carefully lowered the fish cage into the stream, tested the buoyancy, and added a few more stones to completely sink the fish cage into the water.

"Brother Zhu, when the clan brother from the old house in Jinling came to Beijing to play, he once said a sentence that was widely circulated in Jinling. But it is a ridiculous remark from outsiders about how rich our Jia family is, and Brother Zhu may have heard it. ”

Jia Qiong, who was half-squatting, looked back and saw Jia Zhu looking deferential, and then said with a smile.

"Although the two mansions are rich, Brother Zhu doesn't know the hardships of our side branches, so I will echo it with my name, and smile with Brother Zhu."

"Jia is not pretending to be white jade for Tang Jin as a horse, Qiong is not poor, and the side branches of Jiafu are really poor."
