Chapter 12: The First Study in the World
The sun is shining, and the three poles have passed.
Jia Huan, who was dressed in white, was walking towards the outside of Jiafu, and met Jia Lan on the way, which was to explain the reason and go out to play together.
It just so happened that Jia Huan had just gone out, and he missed the big girl mandarin duck who came to invite Jia Huan to Jia's mother to take the school examination.
But it was said that the mandarin duck went to find Jia Huan and pounced, and after asking Aunt Zhao's maid Xiao Jixiang, he knew that Jia Huan's front foot had just left the house, and he was really a step late.
When the mandarin duck returned to Jia's mother, everyone was joking and having fun, especially Wang Xifeng, who was quite pleased with the old lady, one joke after another, making Jia's mother laugh, leaning forward and back.
As soon as the mandarin duck standing at the door came in, he made everyone stop being funny, looked at the mandarin duck, and said with a puzzled face: "Mandarin duck, didn't you go to find Jia Huan's evil obstacle and come to ask?" How can you come back empty-handed, that wicked man? ”
"Qiyu, old lady, wife, it's unfortunate today, the third master of the ring led Lan Ge'er out to play. I'm afraid I'll be able to get out of the house a little later. ”
Even though the mandarin duck has some opinions and prejudices about Jia Huan in his heart, he is still a kind-hearted person, and he knows in his heart that if he says bad things about Jia Huan, Jia Huan will have to be beaten, and the person who almost lost his life a few days ago has not yet raised his body, and if he is beaten again, he is afraid that he will die.
Even if the mandarin duck has an idea, he will not do anything to kill the lives of others.
In the next report, Mandarin Duck stated the facts, and did not add oil and vinegar to say that Jia Huan was not, but made Jia Mu and the others' faces soften a little.
Otherwise, Jia's mother would have to summon the little girl to come in, go to the street to arrest Jia Huan, and beat him up, so as to dissipate her anger.
In the final analysis, Jia Huan is just a concubine who is not favored after all, and he has no status to speak of.
The maids still cared about the identity of Jia Huan's master, but Jia's mother didn't care about these things, and once she made a move, she had to let Jia Huan's skin bloom.
The mandarin duck next to him also sighed slightly and didn't say anything else.
On the contrary, Caixia looked at the mandarin duck with a grateful face, and there was an indescribable complex emotion in her heart.
Out of Jiafu, it is a lively street market.
There is an endless stream of street vendors.
Even shadow puppetry, acrobatic troupe performances, etc., which have gradually disappeared in modern society, can be found.
Along the way, Jia Lan looked excited and happy, looking east and west, reluctant to go.
On weekdays, although Jia Lan is the third generation grandson of Jia Mansion, he is not favored and treated.
Jiafu is a feudal patriarchy.
Jia Zhu, as Jia Lan's father, died too early, leaving orphans and widows, and it was not easy for Li Kun to take his son to make a living in Jiafu.
A young woman with her own son, her husband died!
This is Kefu in feudal society, broom star, and there is little gossip in Jiafu, even the old lady and Mrs. Wang are also prejudiced because of this, as if seeing Jia Lan is like seeing his dead son and grandson.
Mrs. Wang doesn't like Jia Lan, because Mrs. Wang has Jia Baoyu.
Jia's mother doesn't like Jia Lan, because Jia's mother has Jia Baoyu.
The attitude of other people towards Jia Lan also needs to look at the faces of these two Jia Mansion family members.
Since Jia's mother, the eldest in Jia's Mansion and Mrs. Wang, who manages the inner courtyard, doesn't want to see Jia Lan, do you say that these subordinates dare to curry favor with Jia Lan? Isn't that unpleasant for yourself? Even if it is to please an orphan and a widow, there is no benefit to take it.
As a result, Jia Lan also became such a transparent person in Jiafu, with the same identity of the lineage, but he was not as treated as Jia Baoyu.
Moreover, Li Kun is strict in discipline, that is, the contemporary people of feudal society, since he was a child, he has been educating his children in various ways, forcing them to study, not to be greedy for fun, and the young man's heart is already lively, and he is suddenly suppressed, and he also needs a channel for catharsis.
Coincidentally, Jia Huan, like Jia Lan, was not favored and was excluded, so the two naturally came together.
Moreover, Jia Huan often takes Jia Lan out to play, and it can be regarded as one of the few good brothers and friends who are willing to look up to himself, play with him, and bring him to eat and drink in Jia Lan's gloomy study life.
"Third Master Huan, there are people here who are performing a performance and throwing boulders on their chests!"
"Third Master Huan, there are people here who sell sugar gourds, and I don't have any money with me, why don't you invite me to eat it once?"
"Third Master Huan, there are ...... here"
Along the way, Jia Lan chattered and shouted non-stop, always begging Jia Huan to buy this and that, hoping to feast on it and have a good meal.
Seeing this, Jia Huan weighed the silver taels he carried out in his pocket, smiled slightly, and gladly agreed to Jia Lan's proposal.
As the soul of future generations, from Jia Huan's point of view, Jia Lan is a child who is still in elementary school.
Jia Lan entered the school in the fifth school, and this little brother can be regarded as one of Jia Huan's close figures in Jiafu.
In Jia's Mansion, Jia Huan has very few friends, and he can have Jia Lan as his follower, and his mood is much better.
So, Jia Huan took Jia Lan to play around, and bought Jia Lan a string of rock sugar gourds, a piece of cooking cakes, and a ragdoll tiger doll.....
When it was close to noon, Jia Huan took Jia Lan to the study.
The study is located in the core business circle of the downtown area, which belongs to the noble territory of every inch of land.
Shenjing is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and the people who can open a study in the core business district are naturally extraordinary.
Jia Huan's status is very low, and he has few friends, so he can't get in touch with upper-class figures.
But with a little mental arithmetic, Jia Huan knew that the owner of this place was not simple.
Since you want to distribute books and transcribe novels, you must choose a high-end and high-grade study.
Only such a study can have a nationwide circulation channel, and cooperation with it can also obtain amazing benefits.
The silver taels are in front of the immortal cultivators, that is, the objects of mortals.
Jia Huan doesn't plan to make much, and it doesn't matter if he earns less.
It is undoubtedly the best policy to make appropriate concessions in the early stage and gain time for future development.
Jia Huan thought about it, so he stepped out and walked towards the store with a plaque "The No. 1 Study in the World".
"What a big breath, the first study in the world? Could it be that this study has a royal background, and it is not the study opened by the prince and grandson? Otherwise, how dare you say that you are the best in the world? Before Jia Huan entered the door, he looked up at the plaque again, and said silently in his heart.
There are many taboos and unspeakable places in Shenjing City, and there are not many cases where scholars are convicted for their words.
The plaque here is so sharp, behind it is either the royal family or the top cultivation force between heaven and earth.
Otherwise, how many dignitaries and dignitaries in Shenjing City are?
You dare to be so swaggering in the downtown area. Sao, I'm afraid that the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it, how can I sit here safely for many years?
The reader sitting inside was whispering the name of the book in his hand.
"The Four Books and Five Classics" ......"
"The Ghost Novel" ......"
Their voices were low, but after a night of cultivation, with the blessing of the talent of a martial arts genius, Jia Huan's cultivation in one day was better than ordinary days, or even dozens of days of penance, and he already had a certain special ability, but he could hear it well, and every word was clear and clear, like the sound of a clear spring, which was unforgettable.
At the counter in the distance, a delicate female shopkeeper gently shook the feather fan, quite graceful.
"You have novels for sale here?"
