This old father-in-law's home is no longer in Gusu, but in Daruzhou. What kind of state is Daruzhou, what kind of place is it, in fact, it is also a homonym, which means that it is probably a state with such customs. What kind of custom is it, it is like Zhen Shiyin's old father-in-law, who is cunning and robbing his son-in-law, and is full of the hot and cold state of the world.

The old father-in-law was busy laughing and asked these tolerances: "We have all finished the tax, what do you have to do?" The tolerance only shouted: "This family is surnamed Zhen, please ask Zhen Ye to come out." The old father-in-law said: "The villain is not surnamed Zhen, but the villain's son-in-law is surnamed Zhen, but he has become a Taoist priest." The man shouted: "We don't care, since it's your son-in-law, you can follow us to meet the grandfather, don't run around." After speaking, he couldn't help but say, and hugged the old father-in-law and went. The family was frightened and panicked.

In the evening, the old father-in-law came back with a red face, took the taxi fare of two taels of silver, and announced the news to the family: "That's the case, this is the newly promoted grandfather surnamed Jia Mingyu Village, but it is the old friend of our son-in-law, I just passed by the door, and saw Jiao Xing's girl buying thread in front of the door, and when I thought about it, I thought that our son-in-law was here now." That's why you called me. I explained it clearly, but the grandfather was so sad that he gave me two taels of silver before leaving. (Let me take a taxi back.) "-Only sent two taels, this Jia Yu Village, hate less!

The family settled down. The next day, Jia Yucun sent two more letters of silver, as well as four pieces of silk - this Jia Yucun still knows the Thanksgiving Picture Newspaper, and sent a lot of silver and cloth - unexpectedly, he put down the silver and cloth, but said to the old father-in-law: "Can you ask you to add Jiaoxing's girl to me as a second room?" "—Alas, it turned out to be a second room, so I sent silver. The value of this maid is more expensive than Zhen Shiyin's "two taels".

The family naturally had nothing to say, and they were so happy that they immediately plucked the maid - it was Jiao Xing. At that time, the maids were bought, and they were slowly raised, and they were married, but who to marry, the main family was very powerful, and I don't know if the maids themselves were very happy, in short, that night, Jiao Xing was carried in a small sedan chair and sent to Jia Yu Village.

This is carried in the middle of the night, and it is not carried by eight sedan chairs, that is the treatment that only the husband enjoys. Jia Yucun was naturally happy when he saw that he had married Jiao Xing, needless to say, and sent another hundred taels of silver to the "old father-in-law" the next day, and Zhen Shiyin's old daughter-in-law also got a lot of things, and the old father-in-law's family here has nothing to say from then on.

Jiao Xing was originally a maid, that is, when Jia Yucun was flipping through the books, she saw it from the study, and when she saw it by chance, she didn't think that she finally achieved a positive result today and became a second aunt. Soon, the aunt suddenly fell ill and died, and Jia Yucun straightened Jiao Xing. In short, Zhen Shiyin's investment is not as good as a glimpse of this girl, and the return is harder.

Jia Yucun continued to serve as an official here - he had been sent to be an official here after passing the Jinshi examination. According to the customs of ordinary officials at that time, Jia Yucun also had to be greedy for some money and accept some bribes or something. But it's okay to be greedy for money and take bribes, and you have to be perfunctory to the people above. However, Jia Yucun's nature as an arrogant scholar has not changed, and he often insults his superiors. was so angry that his superiors took him into a book, so he was laid off, sent the snowflake silver accumulated in the past few years and Fuzheng's daughter-in-law to his hometown, and then wandered the rivers and lakes by himself. Play everywhere.

On this day, he wandered to the boundary of Huaiyang, and the magistrate of Huaiyang was named Lin Ruhai. Lin Ruhai was originally the Tanhua of the last college entrance examination (the third place in the college entrance examination), and his ancestors were also magnanimous, he used to be a Hou, and when he was the fifth generation, he was no longer a Hou (Hou is only hereditary for three generations, too many Hou, and the country can't afford to raise it, the so-called five generations are beheaded), so Lao Lin started from the new department, took the third place in the exam, and is now a magistrate here. There is only one daughter under her knees, her name is Daiyu, and she is five years old. Lin Ruhai still has a few concubines, but none of them can give birth to sons. It was Mrs. Changfang who gave birth to such a Daiyu, so the couple regarded her as a treasure, and because they had no son, they wanted to raise her as a son. The so-called raising a son is to teach her to read and read or something, it just so happens that Daiyu is smart and delicate, so it is suitable for knowing a few words. (The girl at that time was so miserable, if she had just been raised as a girl, there would have been no need to even be literate.) ）

Jia Yucun heard that this Lin Ruhai is about to hire a private teacher for his daughter (it is inconvenient for girls to go to school, maybe there is no toilet for girls in the school, even if there is no aristocratic school, so I have to find a private teacher to tutor). Jia Yucun just ran out of coils, and wanted to find a place to stay and a place to live (this is unreasonable, after all, Yucun is also a dismissed official, and there is snowflake silver at home, why do you have to do this, but that's what the original story says). So Jia Yucun asked someone he happened to know in Huaiyang to introduce him, and went to Lin Mansion to be a private teacher. Fortunately, there is only one female student, two maids to read with (this companion reading maid is the most effective, if for example, Daiyu is not good at studying, the teacher will play this companion reading, it is said that this is the rule handed down in ancient times, before Zhou Chengwang studied, Zhou Gong's son Bolu read with him, Chengwang did not study well, the teacher Zhou Gong beat his son - this companion read Bolu, so this rule was handed down), this female student is young, and her body is particularly timid, so there are not many daily work classes, so Jia Yucun is very labor-saving.

Who knew that a year later, the schoolgirl's mother (surnamed Jia) died suddenly after a trouble. (Whoever arrives in Jia Yucun will be mourned, and he is also Huo Qi.) The female student was grieving for the death of her mother, and she was already weak and sickly, but she suddenly became even sicker, so she didn't go to school for days.

After Jia Yucun was "on holiday", it was okay, so he went to the suburbs to play, and walked to a temple on this day - there were so many temples at that time, and the monks occupied a lot of social wealth - wrote three big characters "Zhitong Temple", and there was a couplet below: "There is more than enough behind me to withdraw my hands, and there is no way to turn back." When Jia Yucun looked at it, he said in his heart that it was so strange, this is about a temple opened by laid-off officials. I have visited many temples, but I have never seen anyone write such a couplet. So I was curious and stepped in. Unexpectedly, I met an old monk and said a few words, but he was deaf and faint, and he was not clever.

Jia Yucun was impatient, so he came out of the temple and went to a nearby village wine shop to eat. As soon as he entered the door, a guest eating wine on the seat got up and laughed: "Adventure, adventure, isn't this Rain Village?" ”

Jia Yucun took a look and knew him, and it turned out to be an antique dealer he knew when he was taking the college entrance examination in Beijing, and the famous name Leng Zixing. sat down at the moment, the two chatted and drank slowly, Leng Zixing also went home to visit relatives and passed by here, and the two talked about some things after parting.

Jia Yucun then asked, "Is there any news in Kyoto lately?" (I'm looking for news again, people at that time were bored, and the authoritarian society was very stagnant, so I always had to find some news to listen to so as not to be hungry.) ）

Leng Zixing said: "There is no news, it's just that there is something new in the Jia Mansion of Rongguo Mansion, which has the same surname as you." ”

Jia Yucun said, "Oh, what's wrong? ”

Zixing sighed and said, "This family is not good at the beginning, it is not as good as before!" ”

"No, I used to go to Jinling to play and pass by their hometown (they now live in Kyoto, Jinling is their hometown), the east of the street is Ningguofu, the west of the street is Rongguofu, the two houses are connected, and most of the street is occupied. Looking inside from the wall, the palace hall and pavilion are towering, and the garden is full of greenery, doesn't it seem to be decaying? Jia Yucun said.

Leng Zixing smiled and said, "How did you get this Jinshi?" It turns out that I didn't take the dialectics either. The ancients had a cloud: 'A hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff', although it is not as prosperous as before, but it is still different from the general eunuchs. It's just that now, there are more and more people in the family, the master and the servant, huhula, are all enjoying wealth and wealth, and there is no one who can do things and strategize, and they talk about daily pomp and circumstance all day long, and they don't know how to save at all, so although the outer shelf has not fallen, the inner money bag has begun to be empty. And now the children and grandchildren are not as good as the generation. ”

Jia Yucun said strangely: "I heard that such people attach the most importance to education, and they invite private teachers, is there something wrong with the education system?" How can one generation be inferior to the next? ”

Leng Zixing said: "You listen to me slowly (I like gossip the most)." At that time, Ning Guogong and Rong Guogong were brothers, Ning Guogong (Duke, older than Hou) was the eldest son, and gave birth to four sons, after the death of Ning Guogong, his son Jia Daihua attacked the official, and now he is also dead, and his son Jia Jing attacked the official again, but Jia Jing blindly alchemy and seeking immortals, and simply gave his official to his son Jia Zhen. Jia Zhen also has a son named Jia Rong, who is sixteen years old this year, refuses to study, blindly enjoys himself, and actually turns Ning Guofu upside down. On the side of Rongguo Mansion, since the death of Rongguo Gong, his son Jia Daishan attacked his official and married a daughter-in-law, who is the young lady of the Jinling family Shi Hou (the marquis), and gave birth to two sons, the eldest is called Jia Yu, like the general boss, honest, nothing special, attacked his father's official - Jia Daishan has already died, and his wife is still there. The second son's name is Jia Zheng. This Jia Zheng is different from his brother, but he loves to read since he was a child, he is exquisite, square and straight, and has a hard temper, and now he is a foreigner in the ministry. This Jia Zheng also married the Wang family of a large family, and gave birth to a son named Jia Zhu in the first child, and later married a daughter-in-law (named Li Kun), but he died unexpectedly. The second child was born strangely, she was a young lady, born on the first day of the Lunar New Year, so she was called Yuanchun, she was talented and virtuous, and she was selected to be a female historian in the palace (female Sima Qian). The third child was born even more strangely, what I said was new, that is, he: as soon as he was born, he had a piece of colorful and crystal jade in his mouth (this is either that his mother Mrs. Wang has a stone in her stomach and is smooth to the touch, or Mrs. Wang is deliberately funny, and after giving birth, she quickly presses a jade in the child's mouth, and she is also decent in the family, and her son has been strange since he was a child, and he may be compared to the children in the eldest brother Jia Yu's family in the future. This second branch, even good things can't catch up, and hereditary can't talk about anything, so I'm so angry and trying to be strong), there are words on this jade, in short, you say it's news. ”

Jia Yucun said: "This is fresh, and I think it has a history." (Look, outsiders Jia Yucun said so, how the family doesn't blame him.) ）

Leng Zixing continued: "Everyone also said that, so his grandmother (Jia Daishan's daughter-in-law, Ms. Shi - that is, 'Jia's mother') loved him like a treasure. When he was one year old, Master Jia Zheng wanted to try his ambition, so he put countless things in the world for him to catch. Who knew that he didn't catch anything, and only reached out to grab the fat powder box and the girl's hairpin and jade ring to play with (he lost his mother to press the jade to make him funny, or he was timid). So the old man Jia Zheng was not happy, saying that he would be just a drunkard in the future, so he didn't like it much. Only Na Taijun (grandma, Jia mother) still loves him like a life. Strange to say, now that he has grown into a teenager, he is not only naughty, but he is also one in a hundred smart, and he also speaks strangely, saying, 'Daughters are flesh and bones made of water, and men are flesh and bones made of mud.' When I see a woman, I feel refreshed, and when I see a man, I feel that it stinks. 'You say it's funny or not, you must be a pervert when you grow up in the future! ”

"Hehe," Jia Yucun said with a smile, "This is genetically a mother-love complex, his father Jia Zheng is such a dignified and strict second child, so he must not have a good temper, so he must be afraid of his father when he is young, and he always has a tendency to kill his father and marry his mother." But this tendency has to be controlled.,So I like girls.,I hate men when I see them.。 Maybe the children born to the second child are like this. ”

Leng Zixing looked strange: "Is this the result of your Jinshi's study and scientific research?" Do you take this in the college entrance examination in the temple examination? ”

Jia Yucun said: "Hehe, that's what I said, in short, it's wrong for you to treat him as a **pervert." In fact, he is very loving. This is what Confucius said, benevolence, love for mother, is also love, but also benevolence. By extension, all women love, hate men, and hate them, in short, this is a bit of perverse habits in the benevolence, and the essence is still good! There are many pure and pure and great people in the world, and there are only Yao, Shun, Yu, Tang, King Wen of Zhou, King Wu of Zhou, and there are not many pure evil and traitors in the world. More people are all perverse in Renli, but the proportion of benevolence and perverseness is different, such as Ruan Ji, Ji Kang, Tang Minghuang, Liu Sanchang, and recently Tang Bohu, Zhu Zhishan (it is undoubtedly a matter of the Ming Dynasty), and many other mortals are like this. ”

Leng Zixing said: "According to you, there is some truth, it seems that it is not possible not to study." ”

Jia Yucun said: "Hehe, I'm also blindly analyzing. ”

Leng Zixing said: "Now there are really a few good sons and daughters in Jiafu. Needless to say, the Yuanchun born to Jia Zheng (the second child), there is also one born to Master Jia Yu and his aunt's wife, called Yingchun, and the third miss is born to Master Jia Zheng and his aunt's wife, called Tanchun, and the fourth miss is the sister of Jia Zhen in Ningguo Mansion of the same clan, called Xichun. (The two ends are from the concubine, and the two in the middle are from the concubine, and their background is not high enough.) Mrs. Shi loved these granddaughters very much, and they all followed this grandmother and studied together, and they were all good. Rattling. ”

Jia Yucun said: "It's interesting. ”

Leng Zixing said: "Actually, Jia Yu and Jia Zheng, the two masters, and there is a sister below, named Jia Min, who is the daughter-in-law of the family of Chief Lin Da who you work for." ”

Jia Yucun clapped his hands and smiled: "Yes, yes, yes, my female student, my name is Daiyu, when she reads and writes, whenever she encounters the word 'Min', she pronounces it as 'secret' (confidentiality can't be said, at that time, I had to avoid the secrets of my parents, because I directly called my parents' names, which was too big and small - not like Americans). I was still puzzled at the time, but now that I understand, there must be no doubt about it. It seems that I, a female student, is also the granddaughter of Mrs. Shi (Mother Jia). Alas, unfortunately, last month, her mother accidentally died. (Where Jia Yu Village falls, then the family will be ruined.) ）

Leng Zixing said even more gossip: "Alas, I don't know who this Miss Daiyu will be in the future?" ”

Jia Yucun said: "Hey, when it comes to men, you talk about it, it seems that there are quite a few boys in Master Jia Zheng's family, such as the one who holds the jade, then Master Jia Yu's knees are all girls, and there is no male heir?" ”

Leng Zixing said: "There is one, named Jia Lian, who is now in his twenties, and is married to the niece of the wife of Master Jia Zheng (second uncle) Wang, the great name Wang Xifeng. This Lian Ye now donated a Tongzhi (a subordinate official of the prefect), and he is also a person who doesn't like to read, but the world has changed so much, and he talks so that he is now helping with housework. Unexpectedly, after he married his daughter-in-law, he praised his daughter-in-law from top to bottom, so he retreated and let his daughter-in-law take care of the housework. Her appearance is extremely symbolic, her speech is crisp, and her scheming is extremely fine, and she is not as good as her in ten thousand men. ”

Jia Yucun said: "This is exactly what I said, people, they are all an integration of benevolence and perverseness, all these individuals you just mentioned, including Jia Lian, are all people who make trouble by stacking good and evil." If you don't believe me, we'll see. (In that case, then we can't talk about hating or praising them, but I just think people are so amiable.) ）

Leng Zixing said: "Whether it's good or evil, just take care of these accounts of other people's families, you can also drink a cup and move your chopsticks." ”

Jia Yucun said: "Alas, just now I drank several more glasses when I was talking. Can't drink anymore. ”

Leng Zixing said: "Let's talk about other people's affairs, just under the wine, why not drink a few more glasses?" ”

Jia Yucun said: "It's not early, the city gate is going to be closed, and we will talk about it on the road." ”

The two of them were about to drive away, when they suddenly heard someone shouting behind them: "Brother Yucun, congratulations, I'm here to report good news!" ”
