The troubles in the house were almost settled, and some ordinary and trivial matters could not trouble the elder. The elder, who was suddenly free, began to think about other things.
That is the care and subsequent upbringing of Dafang’s two children. Now we can start planning them bit by bit.
No, when he had free time, the elder went to Rongqing Hall in person to take the little Spring Festival girl who was raised there back to the east courtyard, and prepared to cultivate his relationship.
It's not that the eldest master has any thoughts about Yingchun, nor does he want to take advantage of Yingchun's marriage, he's not that bad.
It's just that since the eldest master has taken over the original owner's body, he naturally has to assume the original owner's responsibilities. He must take good care of both Jia Lian and Yingchun. This is the basic quality of a warrior.
The nanny who quietly dealt with little Yingchun before was one of those things. Little Yingchun did not suffer the bad things in the original novel of The Red Mansion. She grew up to be five years old happily, with a calm yet lively temperament, and a lovely look.
Judging from his appearance, his life at Rongqingtang was pretty good.
It's ridiculous to say that the children of wealthy families are basically raised by wet nurses.
Not to mention the fact that the child will naturally get close to the nanny, the key point is that no one knows whether the nanny chosen by the government for the child is a good or bad one.
Especially here in the Rongguo Mansion, I don’t know if it is imitating the real century-old family’s homelessness, so that the nanny has the right to dispose of the house of the child she nursed. It’s okay for an honest person, but if you meet an old nanny like the little Yingchun nanny
, it’s like tricking children from childhood to adulthood.
The Rong Mansion still needs to talk about dignity. I don’t know whether it’s Mrs. Jia’s poor management or Mrs. Wang’s deliberate behavior. She treats the servants so kindly, but in the end, the servants’ hearts are raised and become wild.
The eldest master is not interested in paying attention to these chaos, as long as it does not interfere with the eldest son's children, otherwise he does not mind letting those daring servants know what thunder means.
The five-year-old Yingchun was having fun, and the old man was hanging around the little girl all day long. He didn't feel it was degrading at all, and he enjoyed it so much that Lian Er secretly became sour.
The only drawback is that the five-year-old Yingchun can't walk yet. This is a joke.
Children from ordinary families of the same age can probably do soy sauce, and rural children can even help with some simple chores at home, but little Yingchun can't even walk.
Taking good care of the child too well, not even allowing the child a chance to learn to walk, is actually harming the child. Compared with ordinary and farm children of the same age, little Yingchun's body bones are definitely weaker.
After the elder got to know little Yingchun, he tried to take her out for a walk every day. This little kid was really good at learning, but he learned to walk in just a few days, even though he still walked crookedly.
It has to be said that the genes of the Jia family are really good. Not only are their looks outstanding, their bodies and bones are also very healthy. The elder was surprised to find that little Yingchun is actually quite talented in learning martial arts.
He has already made up his mind to start practicing martial arts when little Yingchun is one or two years older. He doesn't expect her to be successful, but she must at least have the basic ability to protect herself and a healthy body.
As for some other study items for girls, the elder said he was at a loss and couldn't figure it out. Xing's side was not much better, so he could only ask Mother Jia to help with some guidance.
Apart from anything else, Yuanchun was well-educated. He sat up straight and looked very elegant, with such a graceful temperament that the eldest man really didn't understand, but he just listened to Jia Mu's compliments.
As the only girl in the eldest house, Xiao Yingchun's education level should not be much worse than that of Yuanchun. The eldest master said that he could still afford to pay for her education and a female teacher.
Jia Cong is still young, so there is no need to worry so much about how to train him in the future, but one thing is certain, the elder will not let him go, a good material for martial arts training, and he must be trained by Jia Cong no matter what. An Jin Level is the lowest standard.
If Jia Cong has a talent for reading, I wouldn't mind hiring a special tutor to teach him. If he really wants to pass the exam, it won't be difficult to get a place in the Imperial College.
Speaking of enrolling in school, not long ago the elder secretly took a look at the 'famous' Jia Family School.
Sure enough, as described in the novel "Dream of Red Mansions", ethnology is in a terrible state. Jia Dairu is even more like a monk every day. He, the only gentleman in ethnology, cannot really be said to be qualified.
Through the tribe's news channels, we learned that Jia Dairu's spirit has been greatly reduced since the death of his son and daughter-in-law, and he treats ethnic studies students perfunctorily.
If it weren't for Jia Dairu's seniority and the fact that clan studies were not a place where Rongguo Mansion could interfere at will, the eldest man would not have given this old man any good looks.
Do you really think that the dirty things that the old man did can’t be found out? There were several gentlemen in the ethnography school before, but these people left one after another for some reason, so that there was only one gentleman in such a large ethnology school.
Jia Dairu's intention was too obvious, but he just wanted to monopolize the cultivation of all students. In addition, the money allocated by Ningrong's second house every year, the total amount is definitely quite large, at least it can allow their family to live a fairly comfortable life.
It's just this kind of behavior that makes the elder feel very disgusted.
This is to exchange the future of the next generation of the Jia family for the nourishing life of the Confucian family of Jia generation.
Fortunately, the split-class policy devised by the eldest master has solved the educational problems of the eldest family and the descendants of the families who depend on the eldest family. It is quite good to not have to go to the clan school and suffer disaster.
In addition, the eldest master also asked Lian Er to set aside a small courtyard facing the street to be used as a private school for Dafang. He would spend a lot of money to hire knowledgeable teachers to sit in the classroom, so that the descendants of the tribe who depended on Dafang would not be left behind in the early stages of their studies. Even the children of older families will receive enlightenment education in private schools.
…
Just when the elder was enjoying his family happiness, Jia Zhen suddenly came to visit him.
"What a rare visitor. How could you, nephew Zhen, think of coming to see me?"
He took Jia Zhen to the study, and after the maid served tea, the eldest man smiled and started teasing her.
Jia Zhen's character is not very good, and she is an extreme hedonist. She is proficient in eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling. She hangs out with a bunch of bad friends all day long, and her recklessness makes the Ningguo Mansion a mess and has a bad reputation.
Naturally, the eldest master does not have much friendship with him. Unless something big happens or we meet at the ancestral hall during the New Year, we rarely have the opportunity to talk together.
"Uncle She was joking, Ning Rong and Ning Rong are one. Isn't my nephew coming to visit you?"
Jia Zhen smiled and said flatteringly.
The old man had goosebumps all over his body. He waved his hands in a hurry and said angrily: "If you have something to say, please leave if you have nothing to do. I still have something to do here!"
Just kidding, he still has to play around with Xiao Yingchun, so how can he have time to waste with Jia Zhen?
Isn’t that too disrespectful?
The smile on Jia Zhen's face froze, but thinking of the instructions of the ancestral spirit old Ning Guogong, she had to smile and said: "Uncle Pardon is like this. My nephew feels that Dafang's future is limitless, so he wants to follow Dafang's footsteps. No.
Do you know what Uncle Pardon’s orders are?”
This is the rhythm of surrendering to the younger brother!
The elder showed a playful smile on his face and said slowly: "Tell me, what's going on?"
"Uncle Pardon, my nephew is really optimistic about the future of the big house, so he wants to follow him and get some glory!"
Jia Zhen smiled apologetically and said, "In addition, the clansmen who follow Ningguo Mansion will also obey Uncle Pardon's instructions!"
Haha, the cost is quite high!
If it were Jia Mu and Jia Zheng, I'm afraid they would agree immediately, but the eldest master looks down on these tribesmen. Except for a few old stubborns who still keep the bottom line, the rest of the tribe are not fuel-efficient lamps. Most of them are
He and Jia Zhen are the same.
However, seeing Jia Zhen looking at her eagerly, with a worried expression, the elder's heart moved, and it was really hard for him to refuse this guy's service rashly.
After all, Ningguo Mansion is a lineage of clan leaders. Even if their power is not as good as before, they still have enough influence in the Jia clan, which can be seen from the number of clan members who are willing to follow Ning Guo Mansion.
Although the eldest master does not care about the support of Ning Guo Mansion, he has no intention of pushing the power of Ning Guo Mansion to the second son of the government. Besides, with the help of Ning Guo Mansion, many affairs in the clan can be handled according to the eldest master's idea in the future.
, I feel a little excited just thinking about it.
"Nephew Jane, I'll give you a chance to straighten out your clan studies!"
Thoughts flashed through his mind, and the eldest master directly made a request: "Not to mention that you can improve the family education to be comparable to those famous academies, as long as it can be restored to normal standards, how about it?"
"Uncle Shen, just look at your nephew's performance. He will never disappoint Uncle Shen!"
Jia Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly patted her chest and promised, her expression suddenly became high-spirited, but she couldn't help but think in her heart that she had lived up to her ancestor's order after all.
It turned out that Jia Zhen was quite dissatisfied with the elder because of the division of the church. According to this guy's temper, he was quite restrained by not secretly asking someone to correct the elder. As for the so-called communication, there was no such thing.
It's just a pity that Jia Zhen doesn't want to be the grand master, but the Duke of Xianning who has become the ancestral spirit is not alone.
I don’t know if he was frightened by that ancestral hall, but the Duke of Xianning, who had turned into an ancestral spirit, had a very good impression of the elder and knew the powerful strength that the elder might have, so he used the method of entering a dream to remind Jia.
Jia Zhen asked him to establish a good relationship with the elder, so Jia Zhen came to visit him.
Of course, he wouldn't say this carelessly even to death. At this moment, Jia Zhen's heart was filled with joy of completing the instructions of her ancestors. As for the quality of the eldest master, he didn't bother to care at all.
In his opinion, rectifying the clan culture is just a piece of cake. As long as he can get on the line of the great master, good things may come to him in the future.
The ancestor Ning Guogong all valued the eldest man very much. No one knew what the eldest man was capable of. Jia Zhen was quite confident in this...
