When they arrived at the Rongguo Mansion in the west, Jia Rong followed the servant to see Jia Zheng. When he arrived, Jia Zheng was holding the "Wanting Game Score" and playing chess with himself, having a great time.
Jia Rong came in and didn't see Jia Zheng raise his head for a long time. Finally he couldn't help but said: "The second master is so elegant."
Only then did Jia Zheng come back to his senses from the chess game. His face was slightly sullen at being disturbed, and he asked calmly: "Brother Rong is here? But what's the matter?"
Of course something happened! Jia Rong told Jia Zheng about the situation of his lectures, but Jia Zheng didn't care. He said calmly: "Brother Rong and Uncle Ru will make a decision on this matter."
See, what he means is not to disturb his stubborn chess with these things. Jia Rong really felt tired. This political master wanted Baoyu to go on a journey, but he only did superficial projects. He didn't even care to ask how Baoyu was doing, but he kept looking for Baoyu to make progress.
If the teacher is not qualified and does not teach the students, how much progress can the students make? If parents don't take the lead, what good can their sons learn?
What a terrible toothache!
If it wasn't for the sake of having a safe, relaxed and comfortable life in the future, he really didn't want to care about the Jia family. Continue to let the Jia family rot from generation to generation, or just wait for a few years and confiscate the houses in both houses and finish the game.
Brother Rong gritted his teeth. These bad guys are even lazier than me. Everyone was getting more and more anxious, so I took Keqing and took the Ningguo Mansion's money and ran away to Lingnan to become a rich man. The sky is high and the emperor is far away, no one can control it. If that’s not far enough, go to Annam to be a wild monkey.
By the way, I brought Sister Feng, Lin Daiyu, and Yingchun Tanchun and the others...
It's a pity that it's not that simple, you can just take it away with you. Although there are complaints, things still have to be done.
"Second Grand Master always wants to help Second Uncle Bao become a talented person. If he doesn't pay attention to hiring teachers, Second Uncle Bao won't be able to make much progress. Rong'er came here this time to ask Second Grand Master to find some Jinshi scholars who are at home or who have not been able to enter the Yamen. The common people came to Yi Xue to give lectures."
After hearing Jia Rong's words, Jia Zheng was stunned, dumbfounded and said: "Brother Rong has such a good intention. But who doesn't want to seek an official position after entering the palace, let alone those common people who can't enter the Hanlin? It's easy for them to find a master somewhere. No one is willing to teach at a volunteer school, Brother Rong is a little naive."
Jia Zheng is a member of the officialdom and knows a lot about these things. Things are not as simple as Jia Rong thought. Except for some weirdos like Jia Jing, all those who passed the Jinshi examination either went to work as local masters, joined various ministries, or worked as commoners in the Imperial Academy. Even if the commoner Jishi cannot officially enter the Imperial Academy after two years, he will find other ways to seek an official position.
Jia Zheng said: "I can't help with this matter, so why don't I ask your aunt? The Li family is a scholarly family. Both men and women in the family read poetry and books. The master of the Li family once served as the Imperial Academy and had countless apprentices. Speaking of which, you are considered half of his student, so just ask him."
Forehead……
Jia Rong never imagined that Jia Zheng would put the matter on herself again. I don’t even know which way the Imperial College gate opens, so I’m only half a student. Besides, Li Wan is Jia Zheng’s daughter-in-law, so why should I go find her?
well! Brother Rong was thinking about his free and easy life in the future, so he went to find Li Wan.
Unexpectedly, before arriving at Li Wan's courtyard, as he was passing by the hall of Sister Feng's yard, he heard the maid in the hall hurriedly announcing to the yard: "Uncle Xiao Rong has arrived."
Um?
What a situation.
Brother Rong's footsteps stopped instantly. He didn't know whether he should continue walking eastward to Li Wan's courtyard, or turn around and enter Sister Feng's courtyard. The maid guarding the door in the hall said: "Uncle Xiao Rong, come in. Grandma just woke up from her lunch break."
I...I'm not here to see Sister Feng! He is in a dilemma now, should he go to Sister Feng's courtyard?
Go for it!
The maids have all signed up, but if they don’t go, it won’t make sense.
Brother Rong took a deep breath, carefully arranged his clothes, and then entered Sister Feng's yard.
Sister Feng looked like she had just woken up, her eyes still bleary, and she lazily asked curiously: "Why did you think of coming to see me today?"
"My nephew came to see Aunt Zhu for something. He passed by Aunt Zhu's yard and came here to say hello."
Sister Feng frowned slightly after hearing this, with a look of suspicion on her face. "What are you looking for her for?"
"The Second Master asked his nephew, Aunt Xiangzhu, to send a letter to the Li family to recommend two voluntary teachers."
"Oh!" Sister Feng felt relieved after hearing this, "You go first."
Brother Rong agreed and was about to resign.
Sister Feng said again: "Rong'er, go and come back quickly. I took a rest at noon and my legs are a little numb."
"..."
The emotional sister Feng is addicted to leg massage! Brother Rong's eyes were also slightly excited, and his heart was beating wildly.
Brother Rong hurriedly left the courtyard and turned left into Li Wan's courtyard.
Li Wan's small courtyard is not as big as Sister Feng's yard, and it is not as gorgeously decorated as Sister Feng's yard. There is a unique atmosphere here, very elegant.
There were not many maids in the courtyard, so we had to wait until Jia Rong entered the courtyard before any maids signed up.
Li Wan was still resting at this moment. He was woken up by the maid and heard Brother Rong coming over. He was confused. Dongfu rarely interacts with her yard, and she is not a lively person. I wonder what Jia Rong wants to do with her!
Brother Rong came in and saw Li Wan, but he was also a beautiful man. She is a few years older than Sister Feng, and now in her early twenties, she does not have many decorations on her body, and is as simple as her yard style.
Jia Rong quickly invited Li Wan'an and then told her about the volunteer study.
Brother Rong saw the hesitation on Li Wan's face and didn't respond for a long time. Said: "Listening to outsiders is extremely important for students' enlightenment. Now Lange'er is also attending lectures in the free school. If the teachers in the free school are incompetent, it will be difficult for Langeer to make progress in his studies. If the Grand Master of the Li family can recommend one or two famous teachers, the two houses will I won’t treat you badly, even if Ronger personally carries the sedan to invite you.”
Jia Rong saw that Li Wan's face was slightly moved after hearing this, and knew that Li Wan only cared about her young son now. Strike while the iron is hot: "What Rong'er did is also for Auntie and Brother Lan. Auntie doesn't want to be a rich and idle person at home like Lan Geer and Uncle Bao."
Although Li Wan and Rong Geer are aunt and nephew, they are not actually close to each other. Li Wan just sighed and said nothing more. "Brother Rong, please give me a trip, I'll save it for you."
Is this considered an agreement?
Brother Rong thought to himself, said goodbye to Li Wan, and went to Sister Feng's courtyard impatiently.
"Auntie, Ronger is here!"
Sister Feng was lying on the couch with her eyes closed. Wang Xifeng, who was usually very majestic, snorted like a kitten after hearing Brother Rong's voice, and said softly: "Rong'er, come here."
Jia Rong entered the room, but she didn't expect that Miss Ping'er was there. But I was panicking. Miss Ping was the person in the room reserved by Jia Lian. Massage inevitably involves touching hands and feet, so why should she go to Jia Lian to complain when she sees him and Sister Feng like this?
Brother Rong thought to himself, Sister Feng must have been confused by her sleep.
