Mrs. Wang came out of Wang Xifeng's house angrily. She was so frightened that Ping'er and others hurried after him to send him away. Mrs. Wang said angrily:
"No need, whatever you want to give, it's better to take good care of your Mistress Lian! Don't let her scare people with life or death at every turn."
Ping'er didn't know what happened, so he could only lower his head and keep talking.
Mrs. Wang angrily took the little girl and went away. Ping'er arrived at the gate of the courtyard, and then hurried back to the house to see Sister Feng. However, she saw that Sister Feng was already paralyzed on the ground, and her three souls and seven souls were gone.
Two souls and six souls are the same.
Ping'er is a son of the Wang family, and he has served Sister Feng since he was a child. He still understands in his heart that if something happens to Sister Feng, he will inevitably suffer the consequences. He was so frightened that he hugged Sister Feng and cried. p>
The eldest sister's wet nurse also carried the child out of the house to take a look. The child was startled by Ping'er's cry and immediately started crying.
For a moment, everyone in Sister Feng’s yard was in chaos.
.
But it is said that Jia Zheng was questioned by Mrs. Wang, and in desperation, he hid in his study and sat in Mengpo Zhai, just when his Qing guests Zhan Guang and Shan Pinren came to pay their respects.
These two people were also wealthy in their early years. They were originally scholars, and both of them were awarded the title of scholar.
According to the two of them, the reason why they only work as a Qing Ke Mian Xiang Gong to help others for fun is because Zhan Guang later lost his eyesight and cannot write in small regular script, while Shan Pinren has a weird habit of getting upset as soon as he enters the examination room.
Because of his illness, he had to give up the scientific examination with great regret.
Fortunately, these two are masters of all the "Top Ten Weapons" for Qingke literati:
A good word
Second-class talent
Three pounds of alcohol
Clothes for all seasons
Go Go
Six Kunqu Operas
Seven-character crooked poem
Eight Zhang Ma Diao
Ninth grade title
Very kind
In particular, these two people also have exquisite minds, are very good at reading people's faces, detecting people's moods and anger, and their words will always cater to their master's preferences. All these things made Jia Zheng think highly of these two people. Especially because they are two
Everyone has been selected as a scholar, so Jia Zheng called these two "sir" and often praised them as "the best in literature".
At this time, the two men could tell at a glance that Jia Lian's complexion was not correct, so they both had sad and miserable expressions on their faces.
When Jia Zheng saw the two of them like this, he temporarily abandoned his depression and asked in surprise:
"Is there something unhappy at home between the two gentlemen?"
Those two people were so smart. Just from Jia Zheng's question, they already understood that Jia Zheng's troubles were due to family matters. Although they didn't know the specific reason, it was enough to please them.
.
So Zhan Guang beat his chest and stamped his feet and said:
"If Mr. Jia asked, he would really embarrass me as a scholar.
I just said that my little dog didn’t know how to make progress in his studies, so I paid for him to study outside, but he came back confused after studying.
I asked him yesterday what the teacher had taught him to recite in the past few days, and he actually said: The teacher had taught him to recite "Mao Shi" these past few days, and he was reciting the section "The Bastard Rides a Horse"."
Jia Zheng frowned and said:
"There is no such nonsense in "Mao Shi"!"
"That's not true! I was so angry that I grabbed him and started beating him. He was crying and arguing with me: This is what my husband asked us to carry. 'The bastard rides a horse, and my relatives ride a donkey, so I ride you.'"
In fact, Shan Pinren understood Zhan Guang's intention, so he deliberately helped, stamping his feet deliberately:
"What kind of bastard is this, sir, teaching children to read such things!"
Zhan Guang saw Jia Zheng's serious face and knew that it was time to "shake off the burden", so he said loudly:
"That's right! I forced him to pull out this paragraph from the book and show it to me.
As a result, what he found was 'yellow to fight with his horse, to marry with his tangle, and to be ninety with his appearance'."
When Jia Zheng heard this, he burst out laughing.
Zhan Guang still said with a bitter face:
"I gave birth to such a useless person who was able to make every mistake. I didn't mean to worry myself to death.
If my dog could have even 10% of Brother Bao's literary talents, I wouldn't be so worried that I would grow old."
When Shan Pinren saw that Jia Zheng was so happy with just two words from him, he was not to be outdone and sighed:
"Brother Zhan is worried about his son, but I am worried about my wife. Every day I am so worried that I dare not go home.
When I came home yesterday, she was playing cards with her neighbors. In front of several neighbors, she insisted on asking me if I was afraid of her.
I was forced to have no choice but to say:
When my wife was newly married, she was as beautiful as a Bodhisattva. I dare to ask, who in the world is not afraid of a Bodhisattva?
Later, when my wife gave birth to children, she was like a tigress protecting her cubs. I dare to ask, who in the world is not afraid of tigers?
Now my wife is as vicious as a ghost demanding life. I dare to ask, who in the world is not afraid of ghosts?"
When Jia Zheng heard this, he couldn't help laughing. He laughed for a while, then shook his head and sighed:
"We are both fallen people at the end of the world. We are in ecstasy under the flowers, in ecstasy under the moon. The rain beats the pear blossoms behind closed doors."
The two men immediately praised Jia Zhengwen for his brilliant thinking.
Jia Lian couldn't speak openly about Mrs. Wang's affairs. He just sighed and said that the budget of the Provincial Family House had been overrun too much, and now he really couldn't find the money to continue building it, so he was worried.
Zhan Guang heard this and took the opportunity to say:
"Oh, Mr. Jia, don't worry, this is just a temporary setback.
The Provincial Family Courtyard must not only be built, but also built in a good way. After all, Jia Gong is the head of the country. This is just using the royal money to use the royal family. If the emperor is happy, he will be rewarded with a good job, and everything will be available.
."
Jia Zheng shook his head repeatedly:
"There is really no place to make money."
Zhan Guang pretended to be surprised and said:
"I heard from Brother Zhenshi a few days ago that a few small shops have to be temporarily given up. Wouldn't this put an end to the money problem?"
Jia Zheng waved and shook his head:
"That shop is an ancestral property and cannot be sold. If it is sold, how will I face my ancestors in the future?"
Zhan Guang had already figured out Jia Zheng's temperament accurately, and now he followed his lead and said:
"Exactly, the ancestral property is left by the ancestors, and it cannot be sold.
But why did I hear Brother Zhenshi say that it was not for sale, but that it was temporarily taken to the pawn shop as a deposit for temporary turnover?
Come to think of it, everyone has a time when they don’t have enough money, so just exchange it for a while and then redeem it later, that’s it.”
As he spoke, he quietly kicked Shan Pinren.
Shan Pinren had already received Zhan Guang's instructions and quickly said:
"That's exactly what I said! I think now that there is a person like the virtuous concubine in the palace, who has a glorious ancestor, and it is the time when the emperor Long En has allowed me to go home to visit my relatives, how can I not try my best to curry favor with her?
Nowadays, Zhou Guiren's father's family has built a provincial residence, and Wu Guifei's father Wu Tianyou's family has almost finished building a garden outside the city. How can our mother-in-law fall behind? Everyone outside is watching."
After the two of them said this, Jia Zheng already lowered his head.
Zhan Guang took the opportunity and said:
"The family in your mansion has a big business, how can you just point out how much money you make from just these few small shops?
Brother Zhenshi is not a fool, so what else is Mr. Jia worried about?
If you are still worried, the two of us, together with Cheng Rixing, will help keep an eye on it and we won’t find anything wrong again.”
