Apart from anything else, everyone in the Rong family was basically numb to the matter of his long-term cultivation.
If it weren't for his good grades in the Imperial College and his hope of becoming a Jinshi, the Rongfu would have given up on him.
It's not that it's impossible to make him change, it's just that Mrs. Wang is not happy.
Jia Zhu grew up in fine clothes and fine food, but she was surrounded by maids with eyebrows sent by Mrs. Wang. How could she be able to control herself?
Li Wan wanted to resist, but unfortunately his body continued to have adverse reactions during pregnancy.
When she gave birth to Jia Lan, the first great-great-grandson of Rong Mansion, she was too lazy to spend time on her husband Jia Zhu and wanted to train Jia Lan to become a talent.
After having a son, Jia Zhu felt motivated to get up and cultivate herself for a while. In addition, the medicinal soup prepared by the imperial doctor was indeed effective, and her body and bones improved significantly.
At the same time, I have become more diligent in studying. It is hard to say whether my knowledge has increased or not, but at least my attitude is very positive.
But Mrs. Wang refused and accused Li Wan of controlling her husband and being a typical jealous woman.
Li Wan also wanted to save face. After all, he came from a scholarly family, so he simply didn't bother to pay attention to the affairs of Jia Zhu's study. As a result, Jia Zhu's self-change was completely unsuccessful.
Studying hard alone and exercising, how can there be anything more beautiful than wearing red sleeves and adding fragrance?
In fact, several beautiful maids from the first marriage were already pregnant at this time.
At the same time, my body and bones also deteriorated, and I started to drink decoctions and lie down to recuperate. In short, my life was in a mess.
Although Mr. Zheng had hope for Jia Zhu, he had experienced the thrill of the last Spring Examination, so he naturally would not force Jia Zhu to make progress.
Coupled with the promotion of his official position, he gradually became too lazy to pay more attention to it.
Of course, when the next Spring Trial Conference starts, Jia Zhu will probably be forced to study and improve again.
However, judging from the way his body is getting better and worse, no one can guarantee whether he can survive the ordeal of the Spring Festival Examination.
At this time, Jia Zhu had already stepped down from his position as Qilin'er in Rong Mansion.
Even when the government was discussing matters, he was rarely called. This was the main reason why Jia Zhu was not present in several Rongqingtang meetings.
Jia Rong wanted to invite Jia Zhu to teach in clan studies, but unfortunately, this guy was still studying in the Imperial College, and he had a newborn son to take care of, so he probably didn't have much experience to contribute to clan studies.
Of course, him living is the best situation for Rongfu.
At least, Jia Zhu, who has grown up and has offspring, has no problem at all as the heir to the second wife.
If you are lucky enough to pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi, you will immediately become the pillar of the second house of Rong Mansion. It is not an exaggeration at all.
The biggest advantage is naturally that although the old lady dotes on the phoenix egg Jia Baoyu, she doesn't regard it as a treasure.
Mrs. Wang would not put all her thoughts on Jia Baoyu.
After all, Jia Zhu has grown up and has offspring, so she has to be cautious.
If a bowl of water is not leveled, the consequences will be quite serious. At least at this time, Jia Zhu is more important than Jia Baoyu in the hearts of Mr. Zheng and Mrs. Wang.
It's a pity that if Jia Zhu wants to gain the trust of the government, take on her own role or get more resource support, she has to perform well.
On this day, Jia Zhu had the rare feeling that her body and bones were feeling refreshed, and it was a good day because the weather was refreshing. So she took her wife and children to Rongqing Hall to pay her respects.
Jia's mother was naturally very happy to see Jia Zhu.
No matter what, in her eyes, Jia Zhu is the one who is most likely to be promising among the grandchildren in the house, and the relationship between her grandson and grandson is quite good.
He invited Li Wan and his great-great-grandson Jia Lan to sit down, and asked Jia Zhu to sit down at the same time and talk with them.
While chatting, the subject naturally came up about the ethnic studies students who had returned from the south. The old lady was a little dissatisfied: "Brother Rong, I don't know what's going on. I didn't inform you in advance about such a thing!"
Jia Zhu did not feel slighted, but showed a pleased smile and said: "I don't think that all the young talents trained by ethnic studies have been training with Uncle Lin in the south for more than a year!"
"It's a pity that my grandson's body is not very strong, otherwise he would also like to go to the south for a walk and experience the flourishing style of writing in the south!"
As for studying with Lin Ruhai, it is unlikely and has not been thought about.
"Haha, how can they compare to you, Brother Zhu?"
The old lady shook her head and chuckled, and said calmly: "So what if I study and practice with your Uncle Lin for a year, I'm just a talented scholar from a young age!"
"Although the old woman doesn't know anything about scholars, she also knows that a scholar born from a young age is nothing!"
"Even if you barely enter the officialdom, it's extremely difficult to get ahead!"
"Brother Zhu, if you can pass the Jinshi examination, it goes without saying that you will have a bright future. Even if you enter the officialdom as a student of the Imperial College, the starting point and the path to promotion are not small!"
The smile on Jia Zhu's face was a little stiff, but she didn't say much rhetoric or anything like that. She was still relatively sober.
Although the old lady looked down on young scholars and the like, after all, they were talents that were rarely cultivated in a hundred years of ethnology, so she still sent someone to give each person a reward of ten to twenty taels.
That's it, let the few members of the clan who have just returned feel the wealth and generosity of the Rong Mansion.
But how did she know that these young scholars had a lot of money with them.
After practicing outside for more than a year, my experience is extraordinary. How could I take Rong Mansion's reward to heart?
On the contrary, I am more concerned about Jia Rong, the clan leader, and their future arrangements. After all, it is related to their future future.
That night, when the second master Zheng and the second master Lian went to the Yamen, they were invited to Ning Mansion for a drink, and by the way, they greeted several ethnic studies students who had returned from the south.
It was just a two-table family dinner, not ostentatious at all.
At the dinner table, Jia Rong made it clear that he would listen to the opinions of the rotation students themselves on how to arrange future arrangements.
If you feel that there is a possibility to go further, then study in ethnic studies for a period of time and strive to get a better academic record next year.
If you want to directly enter the officialdom and work hard, you can do it. The clan will arrange things properly. Of course, the official rank will not be very good at the beginning.
As for other ideas, they can also be communicated privately.
As talents trained by the Jia clan, as long as the ideas they put forward are not too outrageous, the clan will consider them.
These words made several ethnic studies students who returned from the south feel elated and at the same time completely relieved.
Mr. Zheng Er has a different opinion and wants to let several ethnic studies students continue to take the exam until they pass the Jinshi exam.
He also expressed his thoughts, which actually moved the ethnic studies students who had been practicing in the south for more than a year...
