Besides, when Jia Ke came home from school, he just arrived at the courtyard gate to see Aunt Zhou. Chuncao looked outside the courtyard gate in the direction he came from. When Jia Ke came back, he welcomed him into Aunt Zhou's room.
"I heard that you performed martial arts in the study courtyard today?" Aunt Zhou asked impatiently.
"Yes, I gave a small demonstration." Jia Ke said in a very calm tone, but his expression was like saying come on and praise me, he was very arrogant.
Chuncao next to her looked at Jia Ke with admiration.
"You really want to practice martial arts. Do you know that the master likes scholars? If you don't study hard, what are you doing with swords and guns that makes the master displeased? If the master hates us, those who flatter us and despise us will not do anything.
Our mother and son were bullied to death, so how can we live in this house?" Aunt Zhou was so anxious that she almost shed tears.
"Auntie, don't worry, our ancestors started their careers with martial arts. My father has seen his grandfather make great achievements with martial arts, so he will definitely not dislike us." Jia Ke comforted Aunt Zhou while giving her analysis.
At this time, the little maid Xia Mai came back from fetching the meal. As soon as she entered the door, she excitedly said to several people: "Auntie, don't you know, sir? It has been spread in the house, saying that the uncle's martial arts are so good, and the old man who went there
Just as powerful, I might be able to be named Prime Minister in the future."
Aunt Zhou glared at her and said, "Why should I be granted the title of a marquis or not? I just hope that he will be safe and sound, just Amitabha."
After that, we called for spring grass and summer wheat for rice.
In the evening, Jia Ke was reading in the room when he saw Chuncao coming in from outside. Before Jia Ke could ask questions, he said anxiously: "The master is here, tell him to go see him." There was worry on his face.
Jia Ke knew that he would be facing Jia Zheng one day after he showed off his martial arts skills in the morning, but he didn't expect it to be so soon. However, he already had a countermeasure. People at this time were very superstitious, not to mention that there are gods in the world of Red Mansions.
As a wealthy and aristocratic family, the Jia family should know some secrets about the secrets of the gods. Jia Ke is determined to start from this aspect and make Jia Zheng believe that his talent is from heaven. This can strengthen his influence in the Jia family.
status.
Jia Ke said to Chuncao: "Nothing, I just want to ask me something."
Jia Ke walked towards Aunt Zhou's room with a calm face.
As soon as they entered the house, Aunt Zhou was busy serving tea and water to Jia Zheng and served her diligently. Jia Zheng was sitting in the middle and was being fiddled with by Aunt Zhou. When Aunt Zhou saw Jia Ke come in, her face was full of worry for him.
I winked and told him to be careful.
Jia Ke agreed and immediately saluted Jia Zheng, then stood aside and waited for Jia Zheng to ask questions.
Jia Zheng took the tea and looked at Jia Ke while drinking it. He saw that he was quite honest and did not get carried away because he was in the limelight in the morning.
"I heard that you were so majestic in the morning that you alerted everyone in the house." Jia Zheng put down his tea bowl and said calmly.
"I don't dare to hide it from my father. My son really has no talent in studying and taking the imperial examination. If he takes the imperial examination, he may never pass it. I can only make other plans for the future. Fortunately, my son still has some talent in martial arts.
, so I used Mr. Li’s mouth to report it to my father.”
After hearing this, Jia Zheng nodded and said, "You are quite honest and did not bluff me with lies. Let me ask you, who did you learn your martial arts from? We don't have such a good player in our family now."
Jia Ke had been waiting for Jia Zheng's words for a long time. He didn't answer, just looked left and right without saying anything.
Jia Zheng understood what Jia Ke meant. This was a secret that could not be told to outsiders. Jia Zheng said to Aunt Zhou: "Take your maid and go outside to watch. Don't let anyone who doesn't dare to break in."
Aunt Zhou asked, and immediately took Chun Cao and Xia Mai out. Aunt Zhou asked Chun Cao and Xia Mai to watch at the courtyard door, while she personally guarded the door.
When Jia Zheng saw that everyone had gone out, he said to Jia Ke, "Go on, let's see what amazing words you can come up with."
Jia Ke said to Jia Zheng: "It's not that my son is hiding it, it's just that what happened is so unbelievable. When my son was four or five years old, he often had a similar dream at night. In the dream, the child was a military general. He often wore a trident on his head.
The hair is tied with a purple gold crown, the body is hung with a red brocade robe of flowers, the body is covered with an animal-faced head-swallowing chain armor, and the waist is tied with an exquisite lion belt; the bow and arrow are carried with him, and he holds a painted halberd. He sits down on a red rabbit horse hissing in the wind. The bow and horse are brave, and their arms are strong.
People are good at fighting and are always fighting from east to west in the enemy's formation, as if they were in no one's land. For decades, no one has been able to defeat me in the world. When the heroes of the world heard my name, they became frightened. Over the years, I have unknowingly fallen into my dreams.
When people learn martial arts, they feel very familiar, as if they already know it. Because the father is strict, the son dare not report it to his father. If he didn't really have the talent for the imperial examination, how could the son dare to use this little cleverness."
"I often hear Taoists talk about reincarnation. Seeing Jia Ke's appearance now, it is possible that there is real reincarnation. This is the awakening of Jia Ke's martial arts in his previous life." Jia Zheng thought as he sat on it.
Jia Zheng asked again: "What do you remember?"
Jia Ke was afraid that Jia Zheng might become suspicious, so he said, "I only remember fighting on the battlefield, arranging troops, and military strategies. Nothing else."
Jia Zheng thought in his mind that his eldest son was probably someone with a good background and would definitely achieve something in the future. He was very happy in his heart, as his Jia family would definitely prosper in his hands.
Jia Zheng, who has been in charge of the Rongguo Mansion for these years, looks majestic on the surface, but in fact he is not worried every day. Mrs. Wang only knows how to fight for power in the inner house. Although he himself thinks that he is not a frivolous official, he is not capable.
He had no choice but to pretend to love scholars, treat virtuous corporals, and help the weak and those in need, just to raise his hopes. He worked conscientiously in the court, and was only promoted from the director of the Ministry of Industry to the rank of Yuanwailang, which can only be regarded as a small achievement. And Jia Jianing, Rong Erfu is now
That is to say, to save face. Except for him, no one in the two houses is not sensual and oblivious. He sees it in his eyes and is anxious in his heart, but there is nothing he can do. Talking about poems and poems with Qing guests every day is just self-escape.
He was strict with his son, but he was just pinning his hopes of shaking up the Jia family on his son. In the past, only Jia Zhu was smart, and he pinned all his hopes on Jia Zhu. Now his eldest son, who is inconspicuous, also possesses unique skills and martial arts.
In this way, the Jia family has double insurance. In the future, the eldest son can develop in the army and inherit the connections of the two old princes in the army, while the second son can take the imperial examination route. The two brothers take care of each other, so if this fails, he will
In my lifetime, I can still see the grand scene of Mrs. Wang Jia's house, a family of two princes. Thinking of this, Jia Zheng couldn't help but feel elated.
After Jia Ke finished speaking, Jia Zheng didn't speak for a long time. He couldn't help but look up and saw a smile gradually appeared on Jia Zheng's serious face. Knowing that he had passed the test, he felt relieved.
When Jia Zheng saw Jia Ke looking at him, he suddenly woke up. His face returned to seriousness.
"Who else told you about learning martial arts in Meng?"
Jia Ke replied: "I didn't tell anyone except my father."
"Shouldn't we talk about your mother?" Jia Zheng asked
Jia Ke was confused. He and Mrs. Wang were not familiar with each other and there was nothing wrong with him. He insisted on giving his information to Mrs. Wang and what to say to her.
Jia Zheng knew at first glance that he had misunderstood. In the Jia family, where the ethics were strict, Jia Ke was just a concubine, but his mother could only be Mrs. Wang, and he could only call Mrs. Wang "mother". But his biological mother could only be called "Mother".
Can be called "aunt".
So Jia Zheng pointed to Aunt Zhou outside. Only then did Jia Ke understand and replied: "No."
"From now on, don't talk to anyone. If anyone asks, just like you said before, you are born with divine power and martial arts and you just figure it out by yourself. Remember?" Jia Zheng said seriously.
Jia Ke also replied solemnly: "I remember."
Jia Zheng nodded with satisfaction and said, "I want to talk to the old lady about your martial arts practice. Only the three of us in the Jia family know about your martial arts practice in your dream."
After saying that, seeing that it was getting late, he asked Jia Ke to go back and rest, and called Aunt Zhou to come in.
At night, Jia Zheng was tossing and turning on the bed and couldn't sleep. Aunt Zhou was advising him: "But Ke'er did something wrong and made the master angry? What's wrong with the master? Just scold him more, don't make him angry."
Jia Zheng didn't say much. He just said: "You gave birth to a good son." He grabbed Aunt Zhou's hand and stopped talking.
