Red Mansion Jia Enhou

"Mom, Mrs. Zhen is coming to our house?"

Jia Zheng walked excitedly to Jia Mu's house.

Mother Jia's eyes fell on Jia Zheng's hand, which was holding a familiar post.

Seeing this, Jia Mu's eyebrows instantly frowned.

Why does he have it?

Surprise flashed in Jia Mu's eyes.

"Do you know everything about the Zhen family's visit?"

Jia Mu asked Jia Zheng, and Jia Zheng nodded.

"The Zhen family also sent me a post early in the morning!"

Jia Zheng waved the post in front of Jia Mu, which made her feel inexplicably disgusted.

What does the Zhen family mean?
Mother Jia's eyes fell on the post in her hand. She handed it to her, then turned to hand it to Jia Zheng.

Are you here to see her or Jia Zheng?

Feeling disrespected, Mother Jia threw the post on the ground.

Jia Zheng noticed what Jia Mu threw on the ground. It was a post exactly like the one in his hand.

After seeing this post, no matter how stupid Jia Zheng is, he knows how his mother is feeling now.

Jia Zheng quickly stuffed the post into his sleeve before talking to Jia Mu again.

"Since my eldest brother has taken power in our family, he has done many things that are harmful to our relatives. He usually breaks off all the relatives he can."

"The fact that the Zhen family can visit our house now means that they haven't abandoned our family yet. This is a good thing, mother!"

Jia Zheng's voice was full of excitement about the Zhen family's visit.

Jia She came in from Jia Mu's door. Hearing Jia Zheng's words, Jia She's eyes flashed with disdain.

"How come I didn't know this was a good thing?"

Jia She opened the curtain without warning, and all the servants at the door lowered their heads and glanced at Jia's mother carefully.

As expected, Jia Mu, who was eavesdropped, became angry.

"Boss, why don't you let your servants inform you when you come to my room?"

Jia's mother questioned Jia She. Jia She's eyes glanced at the servants outside the curtain. The servants all listened with eyes and noses.

Jia She saluted Jia Mu.

"A son is his mother's child, why should mother and son be so open to each other!"

"I haven't seen my mother for a long time. Is she in good health?"

Jia She asked about Jia Mu's health, and also wanted to know whether the imperial doctor's medicine was effective.

He had asked the imperial doctor to give Jia Mu more soothing medicine before, in order to make her sleep more and worry less in the future.

The most important thing is not to be like Pao Zhan, either fighting with him or causing trouble for Mrs. Xing every day.

Not to mention giving people a headache, it is even more annoying.

The imperial doctor agreed, but he didn't know whether Jia Mu would drink it or not.

Jia Mu snorted at Jia She.

"You have this job, why not come see me more often!"

“It’s better to talk a thousand words and preach ten thousand than to actually take action.”

Jia's mother seems to be complaining, but in fact she is connoting that Jia She is unfilial.

Jia She slapped Jia Mu in the face.

"My son is usually busy with official duties and goes to the capital camp every day before dawn. But when he comes back in the evening, his mother has stopped talking and the courtyard door is closed."

"How can I see it like this?"

Jia Mu snorted again.

"Then you won't come earlier in the morning?"

Jia She couldn't help but laugh at this old lady.

In the past, he was not even allowed to come, but now he is clinging to this point.

"What mother said is that when the son goes to the father-in-law, he will definitely come to visit his mother!"

Jia She saluted Jia Mu again.

Jia Mu's eyelids couldn't help but twitch.

Although Jia Mu didn't care what time Jia She went to see her father-in-law every day, she knew it.

If Jia She came every day, wouldn't she have to stay with Jia She?

It is difficult to go from luxury to frugality, but it is easy to go from frugality to luxury.

After so many years of prosperity, Jia Mu knew how difficult it was to get up.

Thinking of this, Jia Mu felt a little regretful.

"You don't have to come, just have a dick!"

Jia Mu refused to let Jia She come again. Jia She looked at Jia Mu with speechless eyes.

It’s you who wants him to come, and it’s you who doesn’t want him to come.

Why are you doing this?

"Must come!"

Jia She, who wanted to cure Jia Mu, became serious.

How could you not come?

Mother, you have spoken. As a human son, he must filially meet all the needs of the old mother.

Jia She said: "Mother does not need to feel bad for her son, he can come!"

"As for the second brother, the second brother is the second brother, and the son is the son."

"The second brother cannot replace the son, just like the moon cannot replace the sun."

"So my son must come!"

"Otherwise it would be unfilial!"

Jia She learned to put the hat on himself. Instead of letting Jia Mu put the hat on, he would put it on himself first.

Jia Mu waved her hands in panic.

"No need, boss!"

They said they wouldn't let him come, so why did he have to come.

Are you looking for trouble for yourself?
Jia Mu's face started to look painful, she didn't want to suffer along with her!

Jia Mu began to persuade Jia She.

"You don't have to blame yourself, boss!"

"Your second brother is enough for me. Now the whole family depends on you. The most important thing is that you take good care of yourself."

Jia Mu began to speak human language, and Jia She was a little uncomfortable with it.

"Mom, you really don't need it?"

Jia She scratched his chin and looked at Jia Mu thoughtfully. His eyes seemed to say, you want to harm me again.

Jia Mu was really about to cry.

"It's really not necessary!"

"If you really want to be filial, help your second brother. It's not a problem for your second brother to be at home every day."

"Then Sister Yuan is not young yet. Although she is already engaged, her father is a white man. It would be hard to tell but it would be hard for others to look down on her."

"So boss, see if you can"

Jia Zheng's ears trembled. If Jia She could really help him find another official position, why would he pay him some respect?

"cannot!"

Jia She looked at Jia Mu and refused without hesitation.

Jia Zheng's eyes flashed with disappointment, and he knew that Jia She was unwilling to help him.

Why should he respect such a big brother?

"My second brother wants to seek an official position again, unless there is a change of dynasty!"

"His Majesty once said that he would never hire his second brother. If I help him seek an official position, wouldn't I be resisting the decree?"

"Does mother want to watch our family be confiscated and exterminated?"

Jia She stared straight at Jia Mu, who gasped at Jia She.

She didn't think about it.

"Boss, you misunderstood. If you can't seek official positions, you can't seek them!"

"Then can you help your second brother find a job?"

"It's not a problem for him to be at home every day now."

Jia Mu spoke again. Jia She's eyes fell on Jia Zheng. Jia Zheng straightened his waist and let Jia She look at her.

Not to mention anything else, he, Jia Zheng, still looks like Zhou Zheng.

Yes, Zhou Zheng's is just a bit ordinary.

"Can my second brother's shoulder resist?"

Jia She asked teasingly, Jia Zheng and Jia's mother were both dumbfounded by the teasing.

Finding something to do has nothing to do with whether you can resist or not.

Could it be that Jia She wanted Jia Zheng to carry the big bag?
Jia Zheng's face darkened, Jia She was insulting him.

If you don't want to help him find something to do, then you don't want to help him, so why insult him.

Jia She said: "I want my second brother to practice martial arts. Our family is a family of military commanders."

"It's easy to find something to do. The Ning Mansion is not busy recently. I can ask Jiao Da to come over and teach my second brother martial arts."

"This way, when my second brother goes out and offends others, he won't be beaten passively!"

Jia Zheng's face turned darker.

Jia Mu's face also darkened. "Your brother is already in his thirties, and you want him to practice martial arts?"

"You don't want his life!"

"Then let him continue studying literature?"

Jia She proposed again.

"Although my second brother has never succeeded in studying literature, he can continue to study."

"When I have accumulated enough experience in the coming year and come back to be a scholar or something like that, I will tear off my face and ask my elder brother Jing to arrange for my second brother to go to the clan school to be with the same generation of Confucian uncles."

"This is a good way to pass the time, and at the same time, it sounds nice to talk about it."

Jia's mother felt that Jia She's arrangement was good, and that clan studies could indeed help Jia Zheng advance.

Just to teach a bunch of enlightened urchins, you still need talented people.

"Can't you just let your brother go directly?"

"If I remember correctly, your uncle Confucius is just a boy."

"It takes a scholar to teach a bunch of naughty boys."

Jia's mother, who knew what Jia Zheng was capable of, hoped that Jia She could get through the connections and let Jia Zheng go directly.

"Does mother know the level of gentlemen in ethnic studies nowadays?"

Jia She asked Jia Mu.

Jia Mu was once again stunned by Jia She's question.

"Isn't it you who are teaching on behalf of Uncle Confucius?"

Jia She couldn't help but laugh.

It seems that Jia's mother is really not interested in things outside Rongguo Mansion, and Jia's family education has long been reformed.

It should be said that not everyone can teach in the past.

"I can let my second brother, Xiucai, in, just by opening up the door."

"My mother now wants her second brother to be white and join the clan school. Has my mother asked the clan members?"

"Do you think the tribe agrees?"

Jia She directly criticized Jia Mu.

Jia Mu was stunned by Jia She.

"The clan academy is funded by the Rong and Ning governments. Why can't Zheng'er be allowed in?"

"I think you just don't want your brother to have a career in business!"

And again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again.

Why doesn't he want Jia Zheng to have a living?

Didn't he give Jia Zheng some advice?
"Does mother know what the current level of ethnography is?"

A flash of doubt flashed in Jia Mu's eyes, what level is not Jia Dairu's level?

Why can't he, Zheng'er, do what a half-hearted rotten scholar can do?
Jia's mother looked down on Jia Dairu in her heart, but she didn't know that Jia Zheng was not even as good as Jia Dairu.

Jia She explained to Jia Mu.

"The clan school is no longer what it used to be. After Brother Jing came back, he found that the students in the clan school were mixed."

"Uncle Dai Confucian is old and in low spirits. I respect my eldest brother and understand that it is not easy for Uncle Dai Confucian. I also feel sorry for the younger members of the clan who are having a hard time studying. I have reformed the clan's studies one by one and invited several people to come back to teach the younger members of the clan."

"Second brother, tell me, didn't I help you?"

Jia She changed the target and pointed it directly at Jia Zheng.

Jia Zheng's face turned red when Jia She asked him, and he looked very helpless.

It’s not like he’s begging you to find trouble for him, so what are you asking him for?

"Mom, stop talking, I'm fine at home!"

Jia Zheng retreated first. Jia Mu hated the fact that iron cannot become steel. If you don't go out, will you stay at home and gnaw at your old age?

"No, you have to go!"

"Boss!"

Jia Mu looked at Jia She again.

"Except for Mr., is there no one else suitable for your second brother in the clan school?"

Listening to Jia Mu's words, Jia She began to think deeply.

just
"Can mother be able to withstand Uncle Confucianism?"

"Except for Mr. Xu, the only person who is decent in clan studies is the Confucian uncle."

"As long as my mother can hold on, I will make the decision to resign Uncle Confucius and let my second brother do it!"

Listening to Jia She's words, Jia Mu's face darkened instantly.

Although Jia Dairu was nothing, he was not easy to mess with. If he died in front of her, she would be disgusted if he didn't say anything, and she would be criticized even more.

"Boss"

"Okay, I'm going to go find Brother Jing now to discuss resigning Uncle Dairu!"

Jia She interrupted Jia Mu, and Jia Mu quickly stopped Jia She.

"You stop!"

"Why are you in such a hurry? Is there nothing else besides your replacement for Uncle Confucius?"

Jia She's eyes turned to Jia Zheng, and then he looked up and down at Jia Zheng.

No matter how he looked at it, Jia Zheng was a waste.

"He still needs someone to take care of the ringer!"

"The bell ringer?"

"What's a bell ringer?"

What Jia She said was beyond Jia Mu's understanding, so Jia She explained to Jia Mu.

The one who rings the bell is in charge of getting to and from get out of class and taking roll call.

It can be regarded as a position of small official power.

Now it has been left vacant and has been replaced by a servant.

"Second brother, are you willing to go?"

"If you are willing to go, Brother Jing and I will tell you who should go to the back of the line first instead of Uncle Xiu, and let the second brother come first."

Jia Zheng's face was full of resistance. If he was asked to do such a thing, it would be better to let him die!

"Second brother, have you listened to your elder brother?"

"You've been at home all this time, and you really can't do it. Why don't you listen to your elder brother and go to the clan to learn. This will also benefit the children of the clan."

At this time, Jia's mother was really annoyed by Jia Zheng. Now she hoped that Jia Zheng would go out and find something to do for herself, so that she would bother him less.

Jia's mother persuaded Jia Zheng, but Jia She looked at it as if it were a joke.

Jia Zheng's face turned redder and redder. How could he be allowed to do such a job?

Although he, Jia Zheng, had passed the exam for many years and was still a white-collar student, his talents were no worse than those of outside candidates. It was just that his luck was a bit worse and he had never passed the exam.

Now he was humiliating him in this position.

Jia Zheng spoke in silence.

"Mom, I think I can still go to the academy and try my best."

Jia Zheng said that he was going to study, and Jia Mu's face showed a look of disdain.

"Can you?"

Why can't he?

Jia Zheng tried to restrain himself and said: "I think I can do it. Over the years, I have never lost in arguments with my disciples."

"Coupled with all these years of experience as an official, it's easy to become a scholar!"

Jia Zheng patted his chest and assured.

Jia's mother really didn't believe that Jia Zheng had this ability, otherwise he would have passed the exam twenty years ago.

"Boss!"

Jia Mu looked at Jia She, hoping that Jia She could help persuade her.

However, Jia She admired Jia Zheng's determination not to admit defeat.

"Mom, stop talking, just let the second brother go!"

"If my second brother can pass the Jinshi examination, your majesty may look at him differently and reinstate him to his original position. Wouldn't he have a bright future in the future?"

Jia She persuaded Jia Mu to let Jia Zheng go, and Jia Mu's face became darker and darker.

"You are all kidding!"

Jia She can trust him, so why can't mother trust him.

Looking at Jia's mother trying to stop him, Jia Zheng felt that his heart was hurt.

Jia She came carrying Jia Mu.

"Why is this nonsense? It's a good thing that the second brother wants to make progress. How can mother stop him?"

Jia She spoke for Jia Zheng. Jia Zheng was warmed by Jia She's words, and then his eyes filled with tears. There were still people in this family who understood him.

But this person is Jia She.

Mother, you really disappoint me. Jia Zheng wiped his tears in grievance.

Jia's mother had no intention of paying attention to Jia Zheng's situation and stopped her anxiously: "Your brother has failed to pass the exam for so many years. Now you expect him to take the exam?"

"Do you want him to hang?"

"I think you just don't want to help him!"

"That's all, I won't beg you anymore. You don't have to worry about your brother's affairs anymore!"

Jia Mu waved towards Jia She, and Jia She's eyes spread across Jia Zheng and Jia Mu.

"Then this." (End of chapter)
