Mr. Li has been giving lectures all morning, focusing on the Four Books, which must be taken in the imperial examination. Jia Zhu listened like drinking nectar, while Jia Ke and Jia Lian felt as if they were sitting on pins and needles.
After class at noon, they ate in the study room. The three of them had four dishes, two meat and two vegetarian dishes. But Mr. Li ate alone in the side room, with eight dishes.
After lunch, the husband could rest in the wing, while the three of them could only crawl on the desk for a while.
In the afternoon, the teacher assigns homework, and then studies by himself, that is, copying copybooks, memorizing, etc. In the afternoon, the teacher has to check before get out of class.
Jia Ke tried his best to complete the large-character copying. As for the endorsement, he could not finish it no matter what. By the end of class, he could only remember more than half of it.
When the teacher checked his homework after class, Jia Zhu not only completed the task, but also memorized an extra paragraph. It was Jia Ke's turn to finish copying, and he memorized more than half of the book with stumbling steps. Jia Ke was originally waiting for the teacher to scold him, and then slapped him, but he didn't expect that the teacher not only
There was no punishment, and he even praised Jia Ke a few words, thinking that he was quite diligent. When he arrived at Jia Lian, he was furious. It turned out that Jia Lian had only completed copying and had no endorsement at all.
My husband loves and hates Jia Lian. What he loves is that Jia Lian is talented and intelligent, no worse than Jia Zhu. What he hates is that Jia Lian does not put his heart into studying. He comes to study every day just to cope with it.
Usually, Jia Ke is not very obvious in comparison, but today even Jia Ke memorized most of the book, but Jia Lian didn't do it at all. This was not bad, so he immediately ordered Jia Zhu to get the ruler, but Jia Lian looked at it with a look of aggrievedness.
He looked at Jia Ke and thought that Jia Ke had betrayed their friendship. In this way, Jia Lian was slapped five times on the hand by his husband. Seeing his handsome face change, Jia Ke felt pain for him.
After school, Jia Ke went to express condolences to Jia Lian. After all, Jia Lian was beaten alone today and Jia Ke did not accompany him as before. But Jia Lian looked at Jia Ke and refused to speak. His face was full of grief and anger, as if Jia Ke had done something harmful.
A matter of etiquette.
In the end, Jia Ke agreed to keep up the progress with him, and then expressed his arrogance that he would reluctantly forgive Jia Ke today.
But Jia Ke decided to have a showdown with his husband tomorrow, otherwise he would not be able to survive this day. As for agreeing to Jia Lian's joint progress, he felt that if his husband agreed to explain it to Jia Zheng tomorrow, then his study progress would probably not be the same as Jia Lian's.
Even worse, it doesn’t count as a breach of trust.
After returning to his own courtyard, he first went to Aunt Zhou's room to have a conversation with her. He saw a new maid named Xia Mai came into her room. As soon as he heard it, he knew that it was the name given by Aunt Zhou again.
Jia Ke was surprised. He said that a new maid was coming a few days ago, but why did she come today? When he returned to his room, Chun Cao poured him tea and said, "Let me ask you something. She came to our house."
Maid, why are you here just now? Didn’t the master make arrangements a few days ago?"
"My Lord, how did you know this? There is a certain number of maids in our house. Every one who comes in has to be sent away. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the number of maids in our family has increased several times, and all of them can come into the house. Today's aunt
If there is another person here, I don’t know how many people are waiting for me. I want to hold the door open and push my own daughter over."
Jia Ke asked again: "It's great to be in your own home. You can find a job by yourself. As long as you work hard, you won't starve to death. Why do you have to go into the house to serve others?"
"How can it be the same? The food and clothing expenses in our house are different from other families. Even for a little maid like me, most ladies in other families can't compare with me. What's more, even a third-class maid has a monthly salary of one hundred cash."
Then he put the tea cup in front of Jia Ke.
Jia Ke casually grabbed Chun Cao's hand and asked her with a smile: "What's your rank?"
Chun Cao twitched her hand a few times, so she let him hold it if she couldn't pull it out. She blushed and said a little proudly: "Since I joined you, I have been given a second-class salary, and I have a monthly salary of 500 Wen.
"
When Jia Ke heard this, he thought it was quite a lot. He seemed to remember that Liu Lao Lao said in the book Red Mansions that their family only spent twenty taels of silver a year, but their family was not an ordinary farmer's family, but a small landlord's family.
There are still maids at home, and her son-in-law can often drink wine. This shows that Chun Cao's monthly income of 500 yuan is quite a lot.
Asked Aunt Zhou how much her monthly salary was, Chuncao said it was twenty taels of silver.
Jia Ke then smiled and said, "I will also give you two taels of silver a month from now on."
Chun Cao was so embarrassed that she took out her hand and walked out of the house. As she walked, she said, "I'll go to the big kitchen to get food for you." When he reached the threshold, he lowered his head and said, "I'll wait for you to give me two taels."
Monthly money." He said and ran out.
In the evening, Jia Zheng went to Aunt Zhou's room to spend the night. After Jia Ke went to say hello, he left the main room and returned to his own room. Seeing that nothing happened, he asked Chun Cao to go back to rest first. He followed Lu Bu's method of carrying things in the room.
Qi and blood, practice the art of guidance.
Jia Ke's training is much happier than that of others. When others practice martial arts, they must first stretch their muscles and bones, and then practice their Qi and strength. But Jia Ke has the plug-in Lu Bu Zhiyong to constantly transform his body. Even after doing nothing for three years, Jia Ke can
He can reach Lu Bu's peak combat power. If he practices Qi Guidance every day, he will probably surpass Lu Bu in three years.
The next morning, Jia Ke first went to Aunt Zhou's room to greet Jia Zheng, then had breakfast and went to class as usual. When he met Jia Zhu in the study, Jia Lian hadn't arrived yet, so he walked to Mr. Li's room.
Since I have decided to explain it to my husband today, it is better to finish the matter as soon as possible, die early and take care of myself early.
Mr. Li did not have a house in Beijing. Since it was difficult to live in the capital, Mr. Li taught in Jia's house. This not only solved the problem of food and accommodation, but also provided him with money. That's why Jia Ke believed that Mr. Li was not pedantic and unlike other scholars who looked down on nobles.
.And the Jia family also found a good teacher for their children. It can be said to be a win-win situation for both parties.
When Jia Ke arrived, Master Li (the honorific title given to Li Wenbin by the three students) had just eaten and was reading at the desk. He was very surprised when he saw Jia Ke come in. Jia Ke did not come to ask for advice often like Jia Zhu.
We only met in the study and rarely interacted with each other at other times. Today I saw Jia Ke coming alone and I didn’t know what to say.
Jia Ke came to the door and said loudly: "Student Jia Ke, please see me."
Mr. Li said in the room: "Come in and talk."
Jia Ke came in and greeted Mr. Li again. After the ceremony, he stood down and waited for Mr. Li to ask questions.
When Li Wenbin saw him bowing, he asked, "If you're not studying in the study, why are you here with me?"
Jia Ke bowed and said, "Master Li, I have something to ask for, but I don't know how to ask."
Li Wenbin said: "If you have something to say, feel free to tell me, but I am just doing a small job, and I don't know whether I can do it or not."
Jia Ke said quickly: "It's not about him, it's about the students' studies."
Li Wenbin said: "That's it, I'll listen."
Jia Ke bowed and said: "Sir, the student is not very talented in reading. He has studied hard over the years, mostly because his father loves scholars, so he studies hard and hopes to have a successful career. But these days, the student has been thinking a lot during his illness and feels that the student
I’m afraid it will be difficult to achieve anything in your career. I wonder if that’s true, sir?”
Li Wenbin nodded: "You usually work very hard, but your talent is there. It will be possible to enter school when you get older and have more experience in the future."
Jia Ke felt a burst of ridicule in his heart. No need to be more direct. Doesn't this mean that I am dozens of years old? Only when I am much older can I be admitted as a scholar?
Jia Ke continued: "Actually, students, there is a secret. From birth, students feel that they are extremely powerful, and they have all kinds of weapons at their fingertips, and they are all satisfied. In my spare time, I also watch the servants and guards practicing martial arts, and my intuition is that they are incompetent.
So I would like to ask my husband to talk to my father and let the students learn martial arts. Joining the army is also a way out in the future."
Li Wenbin thought for a moment and said, "I don't believe it just because you said it yourself. If you want me and Mr. Jia to explain it to you, we should practice it to make me believe you."
Jia Ke said: "Please come out of the room, sir, and I will let you watch my martial arts."
