Chapter 277: Grandma’s old stories: Thinking about it
Yuanyang is right, Jialan does lack a few nuns who can hold up the scene.
Reminded by this, Qingwen exclaimed: "I forgot this, Sister Yuanyang is still a sharp-sighted person!"
Qingwen looked at Jia Lan and blurted out: "It's been so long, but I didn't realize that there are a few nannies missing from the young master's side, not even a nanny!"
It’s not that she deliberately forgot about this. In the past, Jia Lan lived in a small courtyard in Guancheng. The courtyard was extremely small. Qingwen took Lingguan and two little girls from Beizhuang, plus a few rough envoys and women, to have the manpower
That's enough.
Qingwen was naturally not as good at handling things as Xiren, but after following Jia Lan to the small courtyard in Guancheng, her temperament also calmed down a lot, and she took care of the courtyard neatly.
There is another reason why Qingwen was almost kicked out of Jia's house because Baoyu's nanny was making trouble in front of Mrs. Wang. Although Jia Lan offered her a helping hand and repeatedly enlightened her, Qingwen still subconsciously disliked her.
This word is quite resistive.
Intentionally or unintentionally, out of inner resistance, Qingwen naturally ignored this issue.
Yuanyang looked at her and said angrily: "You have been following Brother Lang for such a long time, and you didn't find out until today?"
Perhaps because he felt that this sentence was a bit harsh, Yuanyang paused for a moment and then explained in a slower tone: "You see, all the girls and brothers in the family have nannies. In the past, there were more than four of them around Mr. Bao. Here is Brother Lang.
Shouldn’t it be obvious at a glance?
The first priority for these nuns is to find some old people who have been around for a long time. Let’s not say whether they can do it. At least they know the basics.
The nuns in Lange’s Children’s Home are all from Grandma Zhu’s family. They are reliable, but as they are getting older, if there is an urgent need one day, there will be a shortage of people..."
Qingwen pursed her lips and remained silent. This was indeed her fault. Although Qingwen usually had a temperament that refused to admit defeat, she also understood right and wrong and would not forcefully defend herself.
Yuanyang looked at Qingwen lowering her head and pouting, and suddenly thought of something, sighed, and said softly to her: "You have a grudge in your heart, but for this person, having her and not having her are two different things after all, even if
It doesn't matter if he is greedy for money. At least he can see this person clearly, which is much better than those who don't know the depth..."
"Actually, it's not Qingwen's fault for this. I was negligent and didn't tell her..." Jia Lan opened his mouth at this time and took the responsibility.
Speaking of which, there was something strange about this matter. He himself had never seen his own nanny.
Li Wan just sent someone to give him a gift during the holidays, and there was no interaction at all. Qingwen herself was very careless and would definitely not pay attention.
As soon as Jia Lan opened his mouth, it triggered Qingwen's guilt and made her take the initiative to admit her mistake.
"It's okay. Now that Miss Yuanyang has discovered the problem, I wonder if Miss Yuanyang has any solution?" Jia Lan comforted Qingwen, turned away and asked with a smile.
"If Brother Lang doesn't mind, there are some things in the house..."
Just in the middle of speaking, Yuanyang suddenly stopped.
She suddenly realized that the person in front of her was none other than Jialan, who was very independent. Is it taboo for her to point fingers at the people around her when she first arrived?
For a moment, Yuanyang hesitated, not knowing whether he should say something or not.
In the past, Yuanyang asked himself that he could face it calmly, but after seeing the account books today and being shocked by Jia Lan's career, Yuanyang felt that his confidence was getting weaker and weaker.
Seeing that Yuanyang didn't speak, Jia Lan spoke up: "I do lack a few capable nuns around me. If Miss Yuanyang really has any good candidates, just say so."
He knows that Yuanyang has always been decent, so he can rest assured.
Jia Lan's clear eyes made Yuanyang's pretty face turn red. At the same time, she cursed herself for being careless. She quickly calmed down her expression and said, "There are a few nuns in the house who might be useful."
"The nuns in the mansion?" Qingwen asked strangely: "Most of the nuns in the mansion are the companions of the ladies, or they are the old people in the mansion. Who are the other nuns?"
Yuanyang smiled and said: "There are indeed none in the mansion, but the old lady has a few of them."
It turns out that when Jia Mu married into the Jia family, she also brought several nuns from the Shi family. As she got older and Jia Mu's position in the family became more stable, these nuns have retired and returned to their hometowns. However, several of them were originally from the Jia family.
They were orphans adopted by the Shi family. Mother Jia took pity on them and raised them in Zhuangzi, where she was dowry.
These nuns all have sons and daughters, and have become stewards of Jia Mu's village. They will come to the house to pay respects to the old lady during holidays.
"I heard from the old lady that some of them were trained by her. They know the rules and are of the right age."
Jia Lan suddenly realized that he was the old lady.
"The people from our ancestors are naturally trustworthy. Miss Yuanyang, please bring a few of them over so that I can inspect them.
But Yuanyang girl, first of all, I don’t like those who like to chew their tongues..."
Yuanyang nodded and responded: "Don't worry, Brother Lan, I know I'd rather lack than abuse."
After seeing off the mandarin ducks and talking to Qingwen and Lingguan, Jia Lan started reading again.
At this time, he had already passed the stage of relying on tactics to prepare for exams. He had read all the popular books such as "Da Ti Wen Fu", "Small Ti Wen Fu" and "Ce Lun Yuan Hai".
There are indeed many famous works by famous writers, but since winning the election last year, Jia Lan rarely reads these books.
Li Xuanzhu once said that with Jia Lan's talent and learning, it is almost not a problem to pass the Jinshi examination, but it is not easy to get the first place.
Lao Shanchang believes that Jia Lan has not yet truly formed his own writing style. Although he has written many good articles, his craftsmanship is often too heavy, and he is obviously imitating his predecessors, with too many carving marks.
In a blink of an eye, it’s time for the lanterns to come on again.
Looking at the "Book of Secretaries" placed on the desk, Jia Lan's thoughts were filled with thoughts.
This is a classic written by him. I have read it back and forth many times. I read it again today, but I have a different experience.
The first one to bear the brunt is "Yao Dian", which is the first chapter of "Shang Shu".
The ancients paid great attention to the outline and outline, and they should be coherent from beginning to end. As the saying goes, a thousand words must have a general outline and an essential point.
"The Analects of Confucius" begins with "The Master said: 'Learn and practice from time to time, don't you also say it?'", which highlights the style of explaining people through words throughout the text.
The opening chapter of "Spring and Autumn", "The Spring of the First Year, the First Month of the King" shows its subtle meaning. Just the three characters "Wang Zhengyue" alone, the footnotes handed down by the Guliang School are over 100,000 words. You must know that "Spring and Autumn" only has more than 10,000 words.
Words.
So what does "Shang Shu" say at the beginning?
Talk about the creation of the world.
Emperor Yao said: "Fang Xun". Qin, Ming, Wen, Si, An'an, Yong Gong and Yi, the four forms of light are arranged in the upper and lower parts. They must be bright and virtuous to be close to the nine tribes. When the nine tribes are in harmony, the common people will be harmonious. The common people will be clear and harmonious.
When the people of all nations are in a state of change, they are commanded by Xihe. He looks up to the sky like the sky, and the calendar resembles the sun, moon and stars, and he respectfully teaches the people the time.
After that, he elaborated on how to "calm the sun, moon and stars":
Xizhong, Zhaiyi, Yanggu. Yinbin rises and the sun rises, Pingzhidongzuo... Sun is in the middle, the star bird... Sun is everlasting, star fire... Night is in the middle, the star is empty... The day is short, the star is in the Pleiades...
…
A simple explanation in one sentence is to judge the change of seasons based on changes in the stars.
However, just this paragraph will be regarded as iron-clad evidence for future generations, confirming the five thousand years of Chinese civilization.
