Jia Lian was forced to kneel for more than an hour today, so the congestion on his knees naturally had to be removed early. Fortunately, the soldiers of Rongguo Mansion were very proficient in these injuries, and Jia Qi was able to walk freely within a short time of taking action.
In Jia She's study outside Dongkua Courtyard, father and son sat facing each other. It was the first time that his father cared about him so much. Jia Lian's nervous hands didn't know where to put them.
"It's because I'm a bad father. I've neglected you all these years. You should blame me..."
"Father, my son dare not..."
"Listen to what I have to say first!"
Jia She raised his hand to stop Jia Lian's panic, and said with emotion: "Your uncle Jing and I are involved in the prince's affairs. One of us is hiding at home, and the other is hiding outside the city. One is to eliminate the saint's anger, and the other is It was also to lower the vigilance of those people. I originally thought that the Ning and Rong mansions would be quieter from now on, and those people would not kill them all, but I didn’t expect... Alas!"
"Father, who are those people?"
Jia Lian really didn't understand. He was not stupid, but no one had ever told him this in recent years.
Jia She said leisurely: "If he were your brother, he wouldn't ask this question. It's normal. In the final analysis, it's because my father failed to teach you. Do you know why my father planned to destroy Prince Zhongxin's palace today?"
"Father, you said you wanted to avenge your third brother!" Jia Lian was even more confused. Didn't his father already say this?
I saw Jia She's face full of sarcasm, and sneered: "It's my brother who took advantage. What revenge? My father is telling Liu Yi and the Zhen family that I, Marquis Jia En, am back. From now on, I want to plot against Rongguo Mansion. , first consider whether you can withstand the knife in my hand!"
hiss!
Jia Lian took a deep breath. At this moment, his father completely lost the cynicism and mediocrity that he had in the past. His words were domineering, allowing Jia Lian to see for the first time the aura of the head of the Rongguo Mansion.
"Of course, not only Liu Yi and the Zhen family, but your wife's second uncle Wang Ziteng, the Huo family of the Nan'an County Prince, and the 'Wise King' Beijing Wang Shuirong, none of them are good. When dealing with them in the future, You have to be careful!"
Jia She had already made up his mind to teach his two sons, so naturally he would not favor one over the other. Some things must be explained clearly to this silly son early, otherwise he will have to count money for others if he is sold in the future.
Now that Wang Ziteng was mentioned, Jia Lian asked the doubts that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.
"Father, did the Wang family have any deal with the old lady and the second uncle? Is the entry of the eldest sister into the palace a part of it? What attitude should the son use to face the Wang family in the future? After all, it belongs to Feng'er. My mother’s family.”
"When Baoyu was born, that stupid wife of the Wang family made a trick about being born with jade in her mouth. Perhaps the old lady was obsessed with worshiping Buddha and thought that Baoyu would bring her great blessings. Later, your grandfather died of illness, and the prince Something happened, and your father and I saw no future. You also know what happened later. Our eldest brother fell out of favor, ha... The old lady put all her thoughts on the second house, and Wang Ziteng used this to make a deal with her. …”
Jia She recalled the changes in the past few years with infinite emotion in his heart.
If he were still the Marquis Jia En back then, let alone Wang Ziteng, not even the old lady would dare to pressure him with filial piety.
He sighed: "As for the specific transaction, I will tell you in detail later. The most important thing right now is to find you a job. With an errand, the old lady will not make excuses to torment you. Get rid of those chores, you You can truly be the Second Master Lian for once. Go and make it clear to your wife, if she still thinks of you as the daughter of the Wang family, then divorce. The only person standing next to you is the wife of the Jia family, do you understand?"
…
Daiyu tilted her head and looked at the line Jia Cong had just written. After hesitating for a long time, she finally expressed her opinion.
"Brother Cong, your handwriting is too ugly. You can't even pass the boy's test with this handwriting!"
It was pitiful to say that Jia Cong didn't want the old lady to see him. Wang Xifeng thought about it and took Sanchun and Daiyu directly to Dongkuaoyuan to play with Jia Cong.
Otherwise, when the flowers are blooming in the small garden of Rongxi Hall, wouldn't it be better to talk and play in the pavilion?
Jia Cong, who was lying on the stone table, chewed the penholder and looked at the crooked line of large characters on the paper: The way to a university lies in Mingmingde...
Okay, this word is really ugly!
Among the people watching at this time, his words could not even compare to Xichun.
Cluck cluck...
Xichun's little face showed two smiles, and she said one word when she opened her mouth: Ugly!
Yingchun stuffed a piece of orange into Xichun's mouth, and Xichun immediately wrinkled up her little face. After a short period of sourness, the sweet oranges whetted her appetite. She dug into Yingchun's arms and began to pull her second sister to peel the oranges for her to eat.
When it comes to this knowledge, the men of the Jia family, except for Jia Zhu who died young, Jia Lian, Jia Cong, Jia Huan and phoenix egg Jia Baoyu, together cannot compare with a few girls.
Yuanchun didn't say much, he couldn't find anyone in the capital who could compare with him. She is good at playing chess in welcoming the spring and good at counting in the spring exploration. Even the young Xichun has shown her talent in painting.
Not to mention Li Wan, the eldest sister-in-law who comes from a scholarly family, and Daiyu, who has a father who is a prostitute.
Oh my god, did Wenquxing give all his talents to these girls?
"Why don't you let Sister Lin teach you? Her knowledge is one of the best in our family." Yingchun secretly winked at Jia Cong and suggested.
Wow, what a great idea! It should be easier to have someone to teach you.
Jia Cong didn't think he had any talent in reading. Although he was not one of the nine-year compulsory education students in his previous life, he had only turned a few pages of the set of four books and five classics on the table, and he felt as if he had been poisoned.
If you have to learn a book without punctuation marks on your own, it would be better to give the book to Baoyu. A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist, but the second brother of Keng Keng Bao is quite good.
Jia Cong stretched his little hand into the clothes on his chest, dug and dug, and took out a wad of silver notes amidst everyone's doubts.
God of Wealth... No, the golden legs of Uncle Wang Ji are so fragrant!
After Jia Cong took out the banknotes, he divided them into several pieces. Each person, including Wang Xifeng who was watching the excitement, gave several pieces.
"Sister Feng gave this to Sister-in-law Zhu for me, and said that I wanted to borrow the books left by Brother Zhu for use. I would return them after using them, and the money would be used as tuition!"
In fact, with Taishi Yan's annotated books, the books left by Jia Zhu are really of little use. But Jia Cong understood the situation of Li Wan and his son. The second wife had a phoenix egg, and their life was quite difficult.
Studying is an extremely expensive thing. Do you really think that a noble son from a so-called poor family is from a poor family?
Wang Xifeng took the banknote handed over by Jia Cong, her eyes full of surprise and exclamation. The total of these banknotes is almost one thousand taels. You must know that Li Wan and Jia Lan's monthly income is only twenty taels. This is because the old lady took pity on their mother and son and specially allocated ten taels from Rongxi Hall to make up for it.
However, she didn't say much. She just touched Jia Cong's head and said, "Okay, I'll take care of this."
Of course, Ji Wang Liu Hong was very wealthy, and the banknote he gave Jia Cong was what he planned to use to go shopping in Dongshi. It was only a few thousand taels of silver. His brother, the Supreme Emperor, gave him as much as eighty thousand taels, if not one hundred thousand.
Jia Cong is really not short of money, and he uses various methods to add wealth to his sisters. Wang Xifeng, Sanchun, and Daiyu each have six or seven hundred taels each. If they use their monthly money to save, they don’t know how long they will be able to save.
Looking at the people in front of him holding banknotes in a daze, Jia Cong stood back with a smile and imitated the Confucian scholars in bowing: "Students pay homage to you, masters. Please pay more attention to them in the future!"
