In the side hall, a room of girls, plus their respective maids, are fragrant, sometimes laughing. Writing "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info entering it is like entering a daughter country. Of course, Brother Bao's year is very conspicuous among the flowers.

Seeing the eyes of the sisters, Jia Huan smiled and agreed, and then sat down next to Tanchun and Shi Xiangyun. Cuimo, the maid who visited spring, served tea to Jia Huan.

Jia Huan happened to be face to face with Baochai. She is wearing a goose yellow coat today, elegant and beautiful. Baochai chuckled implicitly, nodded, and picked up the teacup to sip tea. Bright emotions floated in my heart.

Jia Huan smiled slightly, enjoying this tacit and brisk subtle emotion. He couldn't sit next to Sister Bao. Sister Bao is everyone's best girl with a tender face.

"Brother Huan, how is the matter of your clan?" Shi Xiangyun asked about Jia Huan's family studies, and Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun, and Baochai all interjected from time to time. Just now, Tanchun and Baochai were secretly worried.

Baoyu sat next to Daiyu, and when she saw Jia Huan coming in, she felt uncomfortable. Because, as soon as Jia Huan came, except for Sister Lin, the sisters and sisters all liked to talk and chat with Jia Huan.

Seeing Jia Huan chatting, Wang Xifeng smiled and said to Li Kun, who was wearing a cyan cloak: "Sister-in-law Zhu, the old lady will come over in a while." ”

Li Kun Xiuya chuckled, "Well, it's all ready." After getting the gap, he asked Jia Huan, "Brother Huan, do you want to stay for dinner?" ”

Jia Huan smiled, "Sister-in-law, don't worry about me." I'm coming in to talk to my sisters and sisters for a while. Oh, I'm busy these days, but I haven't told my sister-in-law about Brother Lan's schoolwork. Does my sister-in-law have free time now? ”

Jia Lan told him early that Li Kun wanted to visit him. It's just that because I'm busy with family studies, I haven't had time to talk to Li Kun in detail.

"Okay." Li Kun just smiled, washed his hands in the basin brought by the maid, and talked with Jia Huan to the small hall outside the side hall.

Baoyu breathed a sigh of relief and whispered to Daiyu: "Amitabha, he is finally gone." ”

Daiyu covered her mouth and smiled. In the end, who is the elder brother and who is the younger brother!

…

Entering the small hall, the lights are bright, and you can see the rain in the courtyard outside mixed with the night, which is miserable and cold.

Li Kun has a slender posture, a beautiful appearance, and a full of beautiful young woman's style, looking at Jia Huan with wonderful eyes, slightly worried. It's about Lan'er's future, and she is very concerned.

Jia Huan pondered for a while, and said to Li Kun: "Sister-in-law, I have inspected Brother Lan'er's homework, and it is still very good. Sister-in-law don't worry. The tutor I hired was my classmate at the College, Hui Yinglang. Meritorious service. His father was from Hanlin. His knowledge is solid. Lan Ge'er will study for another two or three years, and he can take the county exam. ”

In the eighth year of Yongzhi, he was in Jiafu, and he, Jia Lan, and Jia Cong studied together under the mentor Lin Juren. Jia Lan's progress in reading was already lagging behind him. After Lin Juren left Jiafu, Jia Lan's knowledge did not grow greatly in the past two years, and the progress was in "Mencius". But Jia Lan did not have a deep understanding of universities and the Analects.

Jia Dairu's four books are at a level of five scum, and their understanding is plausible and there are many fallacies. And Li Kun should have taught Jia Lan at home. But she also did not have a thorough understanding of the Four Books and the Five Classics. This is also normal. Even though her father Li Shouzhong was the chief priest of the capital Guozi (Zheng Sipin), she is a daughter after all.

Jalan was actually deserted for more than two years. But Jia Huan is not good to say it to Li Kun so directly. His sister-in-law looks at acting amiably and kindly, but she is actually a strong character in her heart.

Li Kun smiled reluctantly, "Hmm." "It will take two or three years to take the county exam? The county examination is only the starting point of the imperial examination. As soon as she heard it, she knew what level her son was at.

Jia Huan smiled and comforted: "Sister-in-law, don't be disappointed in Brother Lan. I am the youngest child prodigy of the dynasty. It's normal for Rangore to be a few years behind me. is usually twelve or thirteen years old to take the county exam, and Lan Geer is only twelve years old three years later. ”

Li Kun thought about it, and couldn't help laughing when he told Jia Huan, so he boasted about himself? Knowing in her heart that she was anxious, she said softly: "Brother Xie Huan, Brother Lan Ge'er's knowledge will have to ask Brother Huan to bother more in the future." ”

Jia Huan smiled: "Sister-in-law is polite. Brother Lan is my nephew, how can I not be unsatisfied. Sister-in-law, don't worry. Let Brother Huan study in the family science for two or three years.

When I have learned the Four Books and the Five Classics, I will recommend him to study at the academy. There are the best gentlemen there, who are profoundly knowledgeable, and there are classmates who sharpen and learn from each other. As long as Lan Geer is willing to work hard, it is not difficult to title the gold list. ”

Of course Li Kun understands the meaning of the title of the gold list. Jia Huan means to ensure that Jia Lan has a Jinshi fame. Isn't that what she's after? Li Kun sighed with emotion in his heart, and there was some warmth, and he solemnly saluted Jia Huan, "Brother Xie Huan!" ”

Jia Huan stretched out his hand to help Li Kun, who had bent down to salute, to get up, and said, "Get up quickly." Sister-in-law, what is this doing? Lan Ge'er has the talent for the imperial examination, and I will help. ”

The matter of Jia Lan Zhongjinshi, the original book is very clear. Jia Huan's promise to Li Kun is not a favor for her. Because, if Jia Lan can go to Wendao Academy to study, he will definitely be named on the annuity list several times in advance. Li Kun will not stay up until the oil runs out, and when Jia Lan becomes an official, she will die.

Li Kun got up, smiled gratefully, and said, "Lan'er's reading is a big thing in my heart. Brother Huan deserves to thank me like this. "I didn't say anything superfluous. In my heart, I have made up my mind.

Jia Huan shook his head with a smile, comforted Li Kun a few words, and went into the house to say a word to Baochai, Tanchun, Shi Xiangyun, Yingchun, Xichun, and Daiyu, and took Qingwen back to look at the Moon House.

…

The night is getting dark. Lai Mama's case of accusing Jia Huan in front of Jia's mother because of ethnography spread all over Jiafu and Ningrong Street at night.

In Lai's Mansion on Ningrong Street, Mama Lai sat in the back room, occasionally sighing, and the maids burned charcoal pots and served on the side. Lai Da, Lai Sheng, and Lai Da's son Lai Shangrong accompanied them to speak.

Seeing that the old lady sighed again, Lai Sheng couldn't help but say, "Mom, the old lady has deceived Jia Huan's words." You were there, how..."

Lai Mama said: "Why didn't you say it? Inseparable from each other! The old lady obviously believed Jia Huan's words more.

Lai Sheng was speechless.

Lai Da said calmly: "Mother, it's not so scary." Our family has been on an errand in the house for generations, and we still have some face in front of the old lady. What can the third master of Huan do to us? Let's go with him first. ”

Mama Lai nodded lightly, "This is the right reason." It's just that I've been hanging in my heart! She vaguely heard that the third master of Huan and the second grandmother of Lian had settled the accounts, and she had taken back all the grievances she had suffered in the house a few years ago.

What her eldest son said, the truth is this. Be a slave in the house, and listen to the orders of the master. I'm afraid, I'm afraid, Huan Sanye is a person who can't rub sand in his eyes.

…

On Jiafu East Road, Jia Yu called his son Jia Lian, who came home, to him and asked about Mama Lai's complaint today.

In the exquisite little hall, the maids all went down. Just Jia Yu and Jia Lian. Jia Yu was drinking a little wine at the table, Jia Lian stood and replied, turning the words he heard from Sister Feng'er, and said, "Father, this thing is the same as I expected." Lai Da really couldn't sit still. ”

He is responsible for doing some trivial affairs outside Jiafu, and often deals with Lai Da and others. He didn't have any thoughts about Lai Da in his heart. However, in May this year, I saw Jia Huan's majesty in Dongfu. As a housekeeper, Jia Huan did not dare to discount it in private.

He only came back to his senses at this time, he was the master of the Jia family, and Lai Da and the others were slaves. Courtesy is grace. You're welcome is the norm. Jia Rong, Jia Qiang and others called Lai Da "Grandpa Lai", which is really a bit harsh.

Jia Yu laughed lightly and smacked his wine, "How much do you think what Brother Huan'er said is true?" ”

Jia Lian smiled, "Brother Huan'er's temper..., he is not a humble and gentle person. However, the affairs of the house are still decided by my father and grandmother. He couldn't make much of a fuss. It's not necessarily a bad thing to let Brother Huan mix and mix. ”

Jia Yu nodded, smiling slightly, his expression slightly gloomy. Because, he saw an opportunity to accumulate wealth.

…

The matter of Mama Lai's complaint is covered by the upcoming Spring Festival. In addition to the parties, after tea and dinner, the maids in the house got together to mutter, laugh and laugh.

Mandarin Duck, Jade, Amber, Ping'er, and Raider gathered in the Mandarin Duck House to talk about this matter: Lai Mama wanted to find trouble with the third master, but she really miscalculated.

On the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, after worshipping the ancestors in the new year, the smell of the New Year in the air became more and more, and Jia Huan went to Shasheng Mansion to get back his notes on the Four Books and Five Classics. It is already full of dense fly-headed letters. It's all the annotations, corrections, understandings, and opinions of Shatiology.

Jia Huan and Wang Xifeng took 200 taels of silver for the purpose of ethnology, and accepted the pawnshop in the Four Seasons Square. I had a drink with Wu Chaofeng. Jia Huan planned to keep the pawnshop as it was for the first time, and wait for him to free up his hands before operating. He is ready to operate the pawnshop as a bank. He just shot in front of Jia Mu.

As for the operating expenses of ethnography, he has other plans. In the past two days, he has already instructed Qian Huai and Jiang Xingsheng to buy duck eggs, and prepare to make a batch of preserved eggs for the students of the steward training class to sell. No training can grow as fast as practice.

Jiang Xingsheng is a horse-faced teenager, 16 years old this year, the son of Jiafu, and his parents are both on errands in the house. It's hard work, the family is poor, and there are two younger brothers and a younger sister below. He is smart, heavy-hearted, willing to work hard, and is a good seedling.

Jia Huan arranged for the steward training class to be closed on the 25th day of the lunar month. Xu Yinglang, Zhang Sishui, and Liu Yichen all have to go home for the New Year. Ethnography is not closed here, and students who want to study can come during the holidays. Help each other learn from each other. The first thing to address is literacy. In fact, the clan has a food supply, and those who don't come are from better families. And there won't be many of them. Jia Huan also wants to use this to eliminate a group of students.

Attitude is always more important than ability and talent. Qi Ji jumps, can't take ten steps; Ten horses, the merit is relentless. Perseverance, rotten wood does not break; Perseverance, gold and stone can be carved.

On the afternoon of the 26th, when Jia Huan was compiling textbooks in the inner study, Qingwen came in and said, "Third master, a word came in from outside, saying that you came to you in the same year." Well, here's the post. ”

Jia Huan was slightly strange. What did you come to him for the same year? I haven't been on a trip lately, have you?

Jia Huan took the name card in Qingwen's hand, didn't look at it first, but said with a smile: "Still entangled, I'll chat with you for a while at night." "The relationship between Qingwen and Mama Lai, Mandarin Duck sent a little girl to talk to him. Only then did he understand why his eldest maid had something on his mind recently.

Qingwen pursed her lips and smiled, nodding.

Jia Huan opened the name post, and was the fifth place in the township test of Renzi Nian in Beizhili, and was visited by Kui Xingzheng. Jia Huan, Senior Brother, and Luo Junzi drank wine with him and Shangguan Chang. immediately put away the doubts in his heart, got up and went outside to meet Xing Zheng. (To be continued.) )
