Those rich relatives were not easy to get rid of, especially when Mrs. Wang was stirring up trouble and causing trouble, which made her almost crazy with depression.
"We are all relatives, so please help if you can!"
I went to the old lady to ask for an explanation, but I was lectured on, as if she was cold-blooded and heartless.
After all, doesn't the old lady only care about the interests of the Rongguo Mansion, and doesn't care about ethnic studies, tribesmen, etc.?
Returning to Rongxi Hall, I told Lian Er about the matter when he returned to the government office, and finally said angrily: "We can't make up our minds about this matter, so we can only ask the great master to come forward!"
No way, the old lady and the second wife living in Rong Mansion are her elders, so some things should not be overdone.
"That's all it can do!"
Lian Er also had a headache. He didn't expect that the family science matter would cause such a big disturbance, which really made him very depressed.
But he didn't dare to make the decision without permission, so he could only follow his wife's suggestion and ask the elder for help.
"This is an easy matter, let your second uncle do it!"
After listening to Lian Er's complaint, the elder waved his hands and looked relaxed: "It just so happens that he has been fine recently, so let him follow the Dian clan and learn well. I'm afraid your second uncle will be very happy!"
The second master Zheng was naturally very happy. Not only did he easily take over the task of supervising family studies, but he also brought his eldest son Jia Zhu with him. Are both father and son scholars?
By the way, Mr. Zheng Er has been having a very unhappy life in the past year.
The reason is very simple. He took several jobs from the Ministry of Engineering, but ended up failing at each one. There was no end to them.
What made him even more depressed was the loss of money. Since the road construction work was not completed on time, every time he bought a project, the price kept rising.
In one year, he took on three more medium-sized projects, spending a full 140,000 taels of money on the projects, but all of them failed.
Because too much money was spent, even though it was all his own private money, it was still exposed in the end.
The second master Zheng was summoned by Jia Mu and scolded him severely. He asked why he didn't discuss such a matter with his family. If she had known earlier, she would have personally come forward to ask the elder master for help. His own brother actually went so far as to spend money to buy the project. It was really
a shame.
This time, Mr. Zheng Er did not dare to agree with the old lady's statement. He thought this model was very good.
If he really wants to follow the old lady's wishes, he will probably give him one chance at most and then he will be done with it. After that, he can go wherever he wants.
This is pretty good now. In almost a year, Mr. Zheng has done five projects in a row. Although every one of them was successful, such an experience is quite rare for Mr. Zheng.
Because he had successively obtained the right to construct projects, his colleagues in the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry all knew that the elder was supporting him, which made the situation of the second master Zheng in the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry much better.
If there wasn't a steady stream of projects to be done, how could his colleagues in the Ministry of Works take him as a transparent person seriously?
Although the eldest master made him a lot of money, the second master Zheng didn't care too much. The second master Zheng had almost never encountered such a glorious life that made his colleagues look at him with special eyes. The current situation is just right. There is no need.
Make the big boss angry.
For this reason, he even said a lot of good things to the elder, and finally persuaded the angry old lady and stopped her from getting angry at the elder.
However, the failure of five consecutive projects, not to mention the loss of Mr. Zheng's money, had a huge impact on his confidence, and for a while he even began to doubt his life.
At this time, he was in a state of self-cultivation and recovery. Lian Er came to ask him to help supervise the clan studies, which just suited Master Zheng Er's wishes.
However, the first trouble I encountered after arriving at the clan school was that it was difficult to arrange for the children of my relatives.
"Foolish woman, she wants to ruin the Jia Family School!"
After knowing the whole story, Mr. Zheng's face was terrifyingly gloomy, and his heart was full of anger or curses.
Even Jia Zhu, who was brought in to make up for the money, did not agree with the methods of his mother, Mrs. Wang, in amassing money.
Mr. Zheng Er is not a vegetarian, and the children from his relatives are not good at first sight. If they are forced into a school that specializes in imperial examinations, I am afraid it will ruin the atmosphere of the school.
With a wave of his hand, another branch was arranged to accommodate them. The location was right next to Baigong School. This shows how displeased Master Zheng was.
Jia Zhu kept persuading from the side, and Master Zheng did not get angry on the spot, but his anger was already raging, which could not be suppressed by Jia Zhu's few words of advice.
Just kidding, the performance in family studies is so good that Mr. Zheng plans to send Baoyu to school. If the atmosphere in the school is ruined by his own children, who should he cry to?
The situation on Jia Zhu's side is similar. He is also planning to send Jia Lan to study in the clan. As for the master he invites, he will just tutor Jia Lan in his studies during the days of Xiu Mu.
After all, Jia Lan is still young, so it is best to go to school with his peers. Otherwise, he will inevitably become tired of studying alone, even if he has the best tutor for guidance.
In this life, Jia Zhu did not die, so Li Wan naturally would not place all his hopes on Jia Lan, and his discipline on his son was not as strict as in the original work.
Jia Zhu was not stupid. He used himself as a benchmark and his elder brother Jia Cong as his goal, which made him realize that blindly forcing his son to study was not good. The young boy was too playful and blindly suppressing him would only be counterproductive.
Anyway, with him here, Li Wan, mother and son will definitely not be ignored by the second wife and the entire Rongguo Mansion. The pressure of survival will not be so huge. The burden on Jia Lan's little friend will naturally be much lighter than in the original work.
Not to mention, the "serious" temperament that Mr. Zheng has developed over the years is really suitable for supervising the operation of the clan school. At least the restless boys in the clan school are very afraid of the stern-faced Mr. Zheng.
It brings a lot of convenience to the management of ethnology.
Whether he is sincere or pretending, Mr. Zheng Er has great respect for the teachers of ethnic studies. Of course, this is limited to the teachers who specialize in teaching the Four Books and Five Classics. As for the teachers of Baigong School, although he cannot be said to be discriminatory, it is difficult for him to have any admiration.
thoughts.
I heard that after Mr. Zheng returned to the second room, he had a fierce quarrel with Mrs. Wang.
Mrs. Wang was quite reluctant the next day and returned all the benefits given by her relatives, causing quite a stir.
As for the children of relatives, if they are willing to send them to the clan school to study, they must abide by the rules of the clan school.
If you don't want to, you don't have to force the family to study. Originally, the children of these relatives are not within the scope of training of the family, and rushing them in will not do any good to the family.
"Second brother, don't be so harsh, it's just a matter of being a relative and getting along!"
Unexpectedly, Jia Mu was not willing to be left alone, and she heard the news from somewhere, so she actually called Mr. Zheng to give him a lecture.
According to her old man's opinion, since the children of relatives are willing to go to the clan school, let the clan school accept them. Anyway, a sheep is herded, and a group of sheep are herded.
It's just that she doesn't know the importance of ethnology at all, and she still looks at it from the same perspective as before.
The second master Zheng only nodded and did not refute. Naturally, he was not willing to compromise. Clan science is a place for cultivating the younger generations of the clan, and not just anyone can enter.
"Mother, I want to send Baoyu to study in the clan!"
After Jia Mu finished her lecture, Mr. Zheng put forward his own opinion: "If you just study hard in school for a few years, you might be able to take the exam when you are seventeen or eighteen!"
"No, Baoyu is so weak and young, so why should he go to school?"
Jia Mu categorically rejected it and said dissatisfiedly: "Second brother, didn't you invite your husband to teach at home? After all, we are all learning things. It doesn't matter where we learn?"
Mr. Zheng Er's face froze. Even though he was very unhappy, he still maintained a respectful expression on his face.
Jia Baoyu studies at home?
Are you kidding me?
Do you really think he doesn't know? This boy is surrounded by a group of pretty maids. Every time he receives instructions from his teacher, it either hurts or feels uncomfortable. As soon as he shows such a reaction, the pretty maids around him will be killed.
Not only did he disturb the primary school with his zahahuhu, but he immediately reported it to Jia Mu and took this bastard Shang Baoyu away to be raised.
Fortunately, the gentleman I invited had a good temper, otherwise such a student would have left in a hurry.
What makes Mr. Zheng even more unhappy is that Baoyu's behavior has affected Jia Lan, who is studying with him. His eldest son Jia Zhu has spoken about this matter several times, and his husband has said it explicitly or covertly several times. Mr. Zheng is deeply concerned about this.
I have already held back a breath of evil fire.
At present, the atmosphere of studying in ethnic studies is very good. Mr. Zheng feels that if Baoyu studies in such an atmosphere, he will definitely do well.
Unfortunately, he encountered the biggest obstacle - Jia Mu!
"Mother, Baoyu is nine years old!"
This time, Mr. Zheng was ready to show off and said bravely: "I have arranged a small courtyard for Baoyu in the courtyard outside the second house. Baoyu will move there in the future!"
"What, you bastard, you want to take Baoyu away, isn't this ripping out my heart?"
When Jia Mu heard this, she was unhappy and said angrily, "If you don't believe it, I will definitely not agree. Baoyu must stay in Rongqing Hall to accompany the old lady!"
Mr. Zheng Er's face turned a little blue, but he still said bravely: "Then he must move to the outer courtyard to live alone, and he must go to the clan school to study honestly!"
"What, my dear, are you bargaining with me?"
Jia's mother didn't take the bait and sneered: "I said I won't let Baoyu go to school, so I won't let him. Just ask Mr. Baoyu to teach him alone!"
"I don't agree!"
Mr. Zheng Er took the risk and said with a pinched neck: "Conner in the first house has almost finished reading the Four Books. Baoyu is still studying in elementary school. Anyway, I can't afford to lose that person!"
Big room, big room again!
Mother Jia was so angry that she rarely persisted. Although she was extremely unhappy, she knew that she could not stop him. After all, the second son was Baoyu's biological father. If he really made the second son angry, he would not be as good as Baoyu in the future.
Live your life.
"Okay, it's okay to ask Baoyu to learn from the clan. As an old man, you can't be too harsh!"
After thinking about it for a while, Jia Mu finally compromised.
Let me tell you, there is a limited exemption this afternoon. During the limited exemption period, there will be two updates a day. I just have a few chapters saved.
