Chapter 17: The Empress Dowager of the Red Chamber (17)
A moment later
"The nephew of the mourning family, the child who won the show, is called Zhao Tian, and sent him to the White Horse Academy.
As for whether he can be neutral in the White Horse Academy, it all depends on whether he has the ability or not, if the mourning family interferes too much, it will cause criticism, and the gossip is the most hurtful.
That family has some assets, and those who can still provide for their children to study and go to school don't have to worry about it, take care of their family's business a little, just say hello to the capital mansion, and don't pay special attention.
If they have a bad day, you go back and send people to see if they have some talent in some aspects, and if they are talented, regardless of what kind of talent they have, they will also send people to teach them, so that they can have a skill, so that they will not starve to death on the streets, and those who farm will buy them dozens of acres of land, and those who are peddlers will give them a small shop, if they are too lazy, then leave it alone, let them go.
As for those who sold themselves into the green house.
It's the same way, find a way to teach them a skill, and if you want to study, you can also arrange for them to study in a nearby private school.
So be it! ”
Qiao Mu originally wanted to say that he would directly give them a small title, but as soon as he thought about it, before he could say it, he could clearly feel a trace of unwillingness in his heart, obviously although the original body couldn't bear to let go of his mother's previous behavior, he was only willing to provide some help to his mother's family to make them less miserable.
It is precisely because of this that Arbor only provides such a little help.
Otherwise, with her current status, the Duke and Earl have no hope, but it is completely fine to let the emperor give her a few small titles.
"Yes, sis!"
Mama Qiao was clear about the contradictions between the original body and the original mother's family, so naturally she would not feel strange about Qiao Mu's orders at this time, if Qiao Mu was suddenly very good to the Zhao family now, she would feel strange.
"One more thing!
The mourning family estimates, the Jia family is afraid that it will be very lively in the recent period, you go back and send people to keep an eye on it, if there is anything interesting, remember to come back in time to report, the mourning family is quite boring to read the script every day here, and listening to the gossip of the major families in the capital can also relieve loneliness. ”
After deciding on the affairs of the Zhao family, Qiao Mu thought of the Jia family that might have crossed over or was reborn, and asked with great interest.
It's boring in this palace, and the words sent below are also screened by a group of eunuchs again and again, to ensure that there are no inappropriate boring scripts, I don't want to read two books, and it's not bad to listen to the gossip of the Jia family, so it's a lively one.
"Mother's grace!
If you want to talk about the Jia family, the slave and maid really say it. Do you want to hear about his family's past years, or more recently? Or the matter of Yuan Chun that his family sent to the palace.
There's something to say everywhere! ”
Hearing Qiao Mu mention the Jia family, the corners of Mama Qiao's mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, and she smiled.
Obviously, even if the chaos within the Jia family is not well known, there is a lot of knowledge about it, and it has even been regarded as a joke by many people in private.
"It seems that this Jia family has a lot of affairs!
Don't stand still, sit down, Cuixiang, serve two cups of tea to Mama Qiao, moisten your throat, if you're okay, come and listen!
Today, Mama Qiao is Mr. Storyteller, and we are the listeners below, and what we say is so rewarding! ”
Qiao Mu is boring, but he can't hurry up and leave Mama Qiao to talk for a while, as for the affairs of the Zhao family, he is not in a hurry for a while, and it is not too late to do it in the next two days!
"Mother, this ......"
Mama Qiao couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, it's one thing to talk to a person, but it's another thing to talk in public.
"It's okay, it's okay, just say it!
The mourning family asked you to sit down, there is no need to worry about anything, you followed the mourning family when the mourning family was not married, what are you worried about about this matter!
Let's talk about it, start at the beginning! ”
Qiao Mu urged again.
Mama Qiao sat down, cleared her throat, and imitated the storyteller:
"Speaking of this dynasty, at the beginning of the founding of the country, there were four major families who made great contributions, and they were all named the founding princes by Emperor Taizu, and they were the four founding princes.
The founding of the four princes were the Niu family, the Jia family, the Wang family and the historian, among which the Jia family has the greatest credit, the two brothers are extraordinary, Emperor Taizu felt his merits, and the two brothers of the Jia family were named Rongguo Gong and Ning Guogong respectively, a family and a surname of the two dukes, it is a rare thing through the ages.
The descendants of the two families are also heroic people, and the two of them are even more military achievements, among which Jia Daishan was authorized to inherit the original lord because of his meritorious service in saving Emperor Gaozu, and he is still the Duke of Rongguo, and Jia Daihua is much inferior, and he is a first-class Shenwei general.
However, its juniors are much inferior!
……”
As she spoke, Mama Qiao didn't know what to say next, because if she continued to talk about it, she would inevitably talk about hidden things such as the prince's rebellion, and the internal changes of the Jia family were also greatly related to the prince's rebellion.
For example, Jia Yu, the prince's reputation before the rebellion was not bad, but after the prince's rebellion, he couldn't hear a word about him, and his daughter-in-law Zhang's family died of hemorrhage during childbirth after the prince's rebellion, and Zhang's grandfather was the prince's concubine, and there were too many hidden things involved in the reasons, and Mama Qiao didn't know how to say it for a while.
I don't know where to cut, how to cut, and how to circle the deleted information, these are really not easy to do.
"Go on!
You know all these mourners, and say something that the mourners don't know, such as what are the jokes in their family and so on! ”
Qiao Mu saw that Mama Qiao paused for a long time and didn't continue, and suddenly suddenly handed her a ladder to guide her to other directions, talking about gossip that does not involve political affairs.
"Mother, I don't know how to talk when I'm in a hurry, guilty, guilty!
If you want to say that the most ridiculous thing about their Jia family, it should be the name of the general of the horse shed when the family is Jia Amnesty, a first-class general, he can't even live in the main hall of the house, he can only live in a yard on the edge of the horse shed, I heard that every time the weather is hot, there will be a smell of livestock floating to the yard where he lives, which is also one of the reasons why Na Jia Yu is often not at home!
There is also Jia Zheng, a mere five-grade official, who even has the courage to live in Rongxi Hall.
Isn't it ridiculous!
Oh, by the way, two years ago, I heard that Erfang gave birth to a child with a treasure jade in his mouth, which is said to be the size of a bird's egg, and I don't want the child to be so big when he was born, and the jade the size of a bird's egg is stuffed in his mouth and he is not afraid of choking to death, which is really ridiculous!
……”
Mama Qiao was also energetic as she spoke, and she didn't stop talking for an hour, telling all the news she knew about the Jia family.
