Chapter 298: What is knowledge? The progress in the garden
Even though Qingwen had a free and easy temper, she was still defeated by Jia Lan's gaze. She turned around quickly, and after a moment she said behind Jia Lan's back: "You can see it yourself! If you want to experience it for yourself.
, there is a broom in the corner!"
"That's fine!"
Jialan responded cheerfully, jumped down from the corridor, picked up the broom in the corner of the yard and joined in the cleaning.
"You!" Qingwen couldn't help but become a little anxious when she saw that Jia Lan actually started cleaning.
Qingwen now insists on doing her job well, so...how can I trouble my master to do this kind of cleaning?
"It doesn't matter, I'll just scan around in my side yard, and I'll explain it to you mother."
Seeing that Jia Lan wanted to sweep, Qingwen couldn't. She stopped for a moment and found that Jia Lan just swept east and west, so she shook her head helplessly, looked at Ling Guan, and the two followed him in tacit understanding.
Sweeping behind you.
Although he was sweeping randomly, in Jia Lan's eyes, cleaning the yard was also a kind of experience.
What is seeing and hearing? Seeing without seeing, hearing without hearing, knowing without knowing.
From the entry level to the knowledge level, it is a process from discovery to understanding.
The so-called state is a certain state that the body and mind can achieve.
From the moment he advanced, what Jia Lan mastered was no longer a few independent skills, but a state of transcendence. This was not achieved out of thin air, but was based on long-term visualization training.
.
When he reaches the realm of knowledge and knowledge, he must expand his collection and learn more.
One master and two servants sweep east and west.
Until a burst of laughter suddenly came from behind the three of them.
Jia Lan turned around and saw Li Wan leading two maids, Su Yun and Bi Yue, standing at the moon gate of the side courtyard, looking at him funny.
"Mother!"
Jia Lan handed the broom to Ling Guan, patted the dust on his body, and walked to Li Wan. He only heard the other person laugh and said: "I said it's lunch time, why haven't you come yet? You are here."
Sweep the floor."
Jia Lan laughed: "I am also bored from reading, so I came out to move my body and change my mind."
Seeing Jia Lan taking everything on her without hesitation, Qingwen and Ling Guan felt warm in their hearts.
In fact, Li Wan had no intention of blaming Qingwen Lingguan at all. Ever since that night a few years ago, when Jia Lan solemnly discussed with Li Wan that he would go out to study at Diecui Academy, she knew that the child had grown up and had his own opinions.<
/p>
When it comes to treating the maids around them, Jia Lan and Jia Baoyu, the uncle and nephew, are completely opposite to each other.
Compared with Jia Baoyu's unbridled pampering, Jia Lan has his own unique "rules". In his words, "let go, but don't let go."
Therefore, except for some daily explanations, Li Wan basically did not interfere in his son's house.
Li Wan glanced at Jia Lan angrily, but did not say anything, and even said in a cooperative manner: "Lunch is ready, come and eat."
"Oh!"
In the room, Jia Lan, who had finished his bowl of food, started talking to Li Wan again.
Although Jia Mu and Li Wan both exempted Jia Lan from greeting her every day, he still abided by the etiquette and went to say hello to Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang at noon every day.
Wan Du praised Jia Lan for his etiquette, which put a smile on the face of Li Wan, who always abides by etiquette.
Jia Lan felt that Li Wan had gained the false reputation of a great Bodhisattva out of thin air, which was really not worth the gain.
What Li Wan received was only a lifetime of illusory kindness in the mirror, but what he paid for was his own personality and interest in life, which turned into a dead man.
As Jia Lan and Daiyu said when discussing the characters in the book, life in reality and life in the book are two completely different things. The life in the book is processed, and so are the people in the book.<
/p>
In reality, Li Wan is a person of flesh and blood. She is pure and virtuous. She reads "The Biography of Women" and does textile embroidery. She is a model of a virtuous and martyr woman.
But she also has her own little thoughts. She doesn’t know what to do when asked, and doesn’t care about what she says. She pays great attention to protecting herself.
Translated into modern terms, Li Wan has some tea.
But Jia Lan actually understands Li Wan very well.
It is difficult for people who have not experienced pain to think about the pain of others.
Her husband died young and her son was still young. Seeing the favor of the whole family transferred to Jia Baoyu, as a mother, Li Wan could only live a cautious life.
Coupled with the decline of his natal family, Li Wan developed the temperament of a petty money lover over time.
She takes money seriously beyond others, which shows that she is not the kind of noble person who doesn't love money.
You can usually hear Li Wan complain a little about Miaoyu, who has a noble temperament and dislikes money.
However, this actually made Jia Lan feel that his mother was particularly real and lovely.
While chatting, Jia Lan asked: "How good is the progress in the garden this year?"
Li Wan glanced at Jia Lan and looked at the bare piece of food in his bowl, his eyes speechless.
This child, Shi Bu Yan, was made like this by him. After you finish eating, will others still eat?
Helpless, Li Wan could only put down his chopsticks, wipe his mouth with a handkerchief, and then replied: "It's pretty good. I can make an income of 500 taels of silver in one year."
"So much?" Jia Lan was really surprised now. You must know that he was only asking about the income of Daoxiang Village. The income of 500 taels is already comparable to the annual income of a middle-to-upper class landlord.
"Isn't it?" Speaking of this, Li Wan couldn't help but smile proudly.
It turns out that after a year of rice cultivation, rouge rice was also planted in Daoxiang Village last year. Under the careful cooking of the peasant women sent by Beizhuang, they had a good harvest. They harvested dozens of stones of high-quality rouge rice and donated one-third to the government.
The rest were taken to the market and sold for three hundred taels.
Later, at the suggestion of an old farmer in Beizhuang, crabs were raised in the rice fields, and some chickens were raised nearby, which were directly supplied to the government, and they also made an income of one or two hundred taels.
Jia Lan was filled with admiration. He didn't expect that Li Wan had considerable business talent.
The Rongguo family has a big business, so buying a position is naturally a good job, but there are also big and small jobs. For example, Wang Xifeng, Lai Da and others are naturally in charge of the big ones, but after all, the cost of eating for a room of people is not small. This kitchen
The purchasing work is also a steady stream of work.
For example, chickens, or eggs, cost one yuan each outside, but the price has risen to ten yuan in the government.
Obviously, the difference in price was completely stolen by the house purchaser and the woman in charge of the kitchen.
Li Wan's behavior will undoubtedly drain the salary of some people in the government.
"I'm afraid my mother will suffer some criticism if she does this."
Jia Lan expressed his worries tactfully. He had a great reputation and was not afraid of idle gossip, but he could not figure out what Li Wan was thinking.
According to the original book, Li Wan was a person who "didn't know what was going on when asked, and didn't care when she said she was going to do it." It's hard to imagine that she actually set off such a big change.
"You think I don't know how powerful it is?"
Li Wan glanced at the child, smiled mysteriously, and then opened his mouth to clear up Jia Lan's doubts.
Upon hearing it, it turned out that this matter was related to Miharu.
