Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

Chapter 381

During Jia Daishan's Spring Festival holiday, he took time to receive several guests who came to his house, mainly to teach Jia Zheng and Jia Jingzhong, and it was extremely painful.

"Tomorrow, I can finally go to court."

After the vacation is over, other people may not want to go back to work, but Jia Daishan hates not to see his son and nephew again.He didn't understand, Jia Jing, a serious second-ranked Jinshi, would make mistakes when thinking about problems?

Alas, in just a few short days, his worrying hair became a few more gray.

In the end, he realized that the prince hinted that he should send Jia Jing to Honglu Temple.There are people from Qingliu and Xungui who come from mixed backgrounds, and they usually have nothing to do, and there is the chief executive of Honglu Temple.When there is a big event, the sage will assign another person to take charge.

Thinking about his nephew, Jia Daishan, Honglu Temple is really suitable for him.What did the saint think in the first place?Let Jia Jing go to the East Palace, how can this look like a future important minister.

Such a person, the crown prince kicked him out of the East Palace was really right.

Jia Daishan rubbed his temples and sighed, Shi Shi stretched out his hands and gently rubbed them for him.She could see that her husband was holding back his anger after teaching his second son and Jia Jing from the East Mansion these days.After a few days, the husband was not only very dissatisfied with the second son, but even more dissatisfied with the nephew in the East Mansion.

Shi helped her husband massage for a while, and Jia Daishan pulled her hand down.

He frowned, forming a distinct Sichuan character between his brows, "Okay, take a rest too, and be careful of your fingers hurting tomorrow."

Shi carefully inquired, "Why is the master worrying about something? Tell me about it?"

"Ah!" Jia Daishan sighed and let out a deep breath.

"How can you not worry about being a husband?! That Jinger of the Eastern Mansion was born as a second-ranked Jinshi. It has been so many years since he came from the Imperial Academy to the Eastern Palace. However, he is so sophisticated, he..."

"What's wrong with Jing'er?"

"That's right, I blinded a second-ranked Jinshi for nothing."

Jia Daishan sighed as he hated iron for being weak.

Then he pointed to his head, "The person who can be a minister or above in the six departments must be at least a Jinshi in the second list. Although the starting point of anyone is no worse than the other, do you know why some people become ministers and ministers? And some People who are not able to ascend to the fifth rank will be wasted all their lives?"

Shi smiled gently, "Master, if I understand this, I will become a servant or a minister?"

Jia Dai smiled at himself, it's not good to say these things to others, but it doesn't hurt to talk to his wife.

"My husband has been in the cabinet for so many years. Those who can go up are all smart. Not only smart in reading and doing things, but also smart in life. Do you understand?"

Shi Shi didn't understand these things, but she understood that her husband needed someone to listen to him at this time.She responded softly and said: "I am waiting to hear my husband's detailed explanation."

"Jing'er in the East Mansion is a rare high-ranking man. He is with the nobles. He looks down on others and thinks that others are not as good as him in studying. When he comes to Qingliu and those who come up through the imperial examination, he has a title. Poor Those who are envious or jealous will naturally reject him. Do you understand this?"

Shi Shi nodded, she understood this.Jia Jing didn't think much of his second son, so my husband didn't see it.

"But those Jinshi who come from a scholarly family and aristocratic family, people also look down on him."

"Why?" Shi felt that apart from looking down on his second son, Jia Jing was really a good boy next door.

"I despise those of us who are noble and vulgar who have been promoted by martial arts."

Shi frowned.Her husband's family and her mother's family are honorable. Wherever she goes, all she sees are praise, envy, flattery, and fawning on herself. In the past 40 years, she has never met anyone who looks down on her.

"Why do you look down on us nobles?"

"It's because of the profound family background. We have been farming for several generations. The mud on our legs hasn't been washed away yet."

Shi was not reconciled, but what her husband told was the truth.Those women from aristocratic families, wherever they go, they always bring a style that is completely different from that of nobles.

Jia Daishan patted his wife's hand, "It's not worth getting angry about. After five generations, the Rongguo Duke's Mansion will be a great family after two or three hundred years."

Shi Shi smiled, thinking about it is also the same reason.

"Master, it's not easy to pass on the inheritance."

"That's right. For the sake of family inheritance, Dongfu let Jing'er read books. Jing'er's book has been read. But this doesn't care about common things, it doesn't understand the world, and you can't get along with Xungui, and you can't get along with Qingliu. How do you think he will go up as an official?"

Shi was silent for a moment, "Master, what do you mean...?"

I can't blame Shi Shi for thinking too much, his second son is not as good at reading as Jia Jing, and he never pays attention to ordinary things.Could it be that... the master is using Jia Jing from the East Mansion to talk about politics?

"To be a servant, to be a minister, to be a cabinet minister, every step is inseparable from common affairs. After the year, a group of bachelors from the Imperial Academy will be released after passing the examination. You know what they do when they are released? County magistrate! To be the magistrate's deputy, plowing fields in spring, weeding in summer, harvesting in autumn, and repairing water conservancy in winter."

"This..." is too shocking!Those civil servants that Shi Shi thought of were all well-dressed, gentle and delicate people, and now they are released outside, and they actually want to do such a tricky thing?

Jia Daishan didn't notice Shi's expression, and continued talking on his own.

"Only by doing all these things well, can you be promoted from the county magistrate to the county magistrate, and have the possibility of being promoted. If you can't manage a county well, how can you manage a government or a state well, and how can you be a good servant, minister. You I don’t know, the cabinet discusses and quarrels every day, and the court quarrels every day, that is, eating—how to feed the world; dressing—how to make the world warm.”

Shi stared blankly at Jia Daishan, "The court is like this..."

"Yeah, so this spring, Zheng'er has to learn how to take care of ordinary things."

Upon hearing this, Shi became anxious, "Master, Zheng'er will go back to Jinling for the exam next year, so there is no time this year!"

The marriage between the Rongguo Mansion and the Wang family has finally been settled.

However, Wang Hanlin asked Jia Zheng to take the children's examination next year.

He directly told Jia Daishan that if he went to the Tongsheng examination this year, he would fail in ten out of ten.Even if one is lucky enough to pass the county examination, there is only one or two chances in a hundred miles to pass the county examination.It's better to pass the county and government examinations next year. As for the hospital examination, let's wait and see.

After hearing Wang Hanlin's words, Shi was so angry that he and Jia Daishan murmured a lot, saying that Wang Hanlin looked down on people.Jia Daishan asked Jia Zheng to listen to the arrangements of his father-in-law's family for studying and taking exams.

"Jing'er just doesn't listen to things outside the window, so what if he becomes a Jinshi? It doesn't make sense, and he won't be able to take charge of a department in the future. You want Zheng'er to be like Jing'er in the future, with no future? Let him follow you to learn how to manage the house, how Arrange Zhuangzi's affairs, how to arrange the shop's affairs."

Shi's mouth was tongue-tied, and shame and anger welled up on his cheeks, "Master, Zheng'er is a man, and a man learns to be a housekeeper, taking care of these trivial matters? If word spreads, how can Zheng'er go out!"

"The affairs of the world that the sage manages are just such trivial matters, which are accumulated."

"What's the difference..."

"Why is it different! From childhood to adulthood. Only those who can manage family affairs well are qualified to manage affairs of the world. If you expect him to be successful in the future, you should teach him well. Otherwise, he will not have a title, and he will be a fifth-rank official in the future." , it’s all because the ancestors burned the incense.”

Jia Daishan was tired, alas, his son was not enlightened, and his wife could not teach him.

"My lord, otherwise, otherwise," Shi Shi said eagerly.

"Otherwise what?" Seeing Shi's hesitation, Jia Daishan felt that it was not a good thing to say.

"Master," Shi plucked up his courage, "this concubine said this for the good of our son. She'er and Zheng'er were both born of concubines, and the palms and backs of their hands are all flesh. She has no title. He can also make a name for himself. He follows the prince, so maybe in the future, the prince will be rewarded with a title."

Jia Daishan understood the meaning of Shi Shi's words, she was talking about the emperor's grandson's affairs, and she was thinking about the title of Duke Cheng'en before she left a word.

But it is also right to think about the title of Lord Cheng En.

Shi Shi looked at Jia Daishan who was listening seriously, and with a heartbreak, he said what was buried in his heart.

"My lord, why don't you give up She'er's eldest son to Zheng'er?"

"Confused. If you say this again, go back to the historian's house."

Jia Daishan was so angry that his beard trembled, he raised his palms high, and looked into Shi's eyes with a look of fear.

"Master, you, you want to hit me?" Shi's eyes widened in horror.

"My lord, I have been married to Rongguo Mansion for 30 years. I have served the second generation of the old man, grandma and mother-in-law. During those years, when you were at the border, I kept the vacant room alone and worried about you day and night. The mother-in-law took it away. Over the years, I have given birth to two sons and a daughter for you, and you want to beat me?"

Shi Shi looked at Jia Daishan in disbelief, and the tears that had just brewed fell down his cheeks.

Jia Daishan put down his slap dejectedly, "It's not that I want to hit you, it's your own muddled thinking that will harm the Jia clan. Even your natal clan can't escape."

"My husband is a sage's companion and a confidant. If I dare to reveal that I want to change the son of Chengjue, abolish the eldest son and make a second son, let alone whether the sage will allow it. All the civil and military officials in the dynasty will think—Yes It’s not that the sage wants to change the crown prince, so he asked me to change the crown prince to test everyone’s thoughts. You said that if you caused such a disaster, the sage will spare me? Or will you spare Shihou?”

Shi Shi suppressed her tears and muttered softly.

"Where is it so powerful? The title of Duke Rong belongs to our mansion, who will inherit it, and meddle in outsiders' business."

"Nonsense, how can the succession of titles be related to national laws, how can it be a private matter. You must not let Zheng'er know such thoughts. Otherwise, you will harm him if you stir up his unreasonable thoughts."

Shi nodded, and said casually: "Master says no, it's just not." Seeing that Jia Daishan's face changed again, she quickly added: "Master, don't worry, I won't tell Zheng'er myself."

Jia Daishan looked carefully at Shi's face and found that Shi's promise did not seem to be adulterated, so he was relieved.

"Zheng'er, he hasn't gotten the hang of it yet. If he keeps doing this, he'll be attached to Xi'er's wings in the future. If you plan for and are good for the second child, you must let the relationship between the two brothers be good. Don't After a hundred years, the boss won't take care of him."

Shi Shi nodded, and said in his heart—the husband claims to be smart, but he doesn't even know that his two sons are not on good terms with each other? !What else do you say that you are qualified to manage the affairs of the world if you manage the family affairs well, hum!

But no matter how Shi Shi thought about it, she would not tell Jia Daishan the truth about the relationship between the brothers, otherwise there would be accusations aimed at herself.
