The phoenix egg Jia Baoyu fell ill just in time, which suddenly attracted all the old lady's attention, and Jia Cong naturally retreated.
At this time, the results of Jia Yun's ethnic studies students who participated in the Tongsheng Examination had come out, and they all passed.
When the news came out, the entire Jia family in the capital was immediately excited.
This is a child born from the Jia family in the capital who passed the imperial examination after the previous head of the Ningguo Mansion, Jia Jing, became a Jinshi. It cannot be overemphasized.
Jia Cong couldn't help but shake his head and sigh when he saw the joyful appearance of the tribesmen.
Tsk tsk...
They were just four boys. In the eyes of those academies and the families of the civil servants, they were probably nothing.
But in the eyes of the Jia family in the capital at this time, it was the first time in many years for a mere four children to be born, so they simply should not be too happy.
It can only be said that the teaching level of Jia clan studies is too low, and Mr. Jia Dairu is simply unqualified.
If you think about it carefully, you will find that in fact, Jia clan science has made no achievements at all from its inception to the present.
Even if the head of the Ningguo Mansion of the previous generation respected the eldest master and passed the imperial examination, it had nothing to do with clan studies.
At the beginning, Mr. Jing's studies were all taught by famous teachers who were heavily paid to invite him, and had nothing to do with clan studies or Jia Dairu.
Similar to Master Jing's situation, Jia Zhu, who had already gone to the Rongguo Mansion, was admitted as a scholar and had nothing to do with family studies. He was hired as a tutor.
It can be said that Jia clan studies are useless!
Mr. Jia Dairu is a master at harming students!
But what left Jia Cong speechless was that this time, four children were born in the Clan School at once, and the reputation of the Jia Clan School was greatly boosted.
Of course, it was the noble circle of the four princes and eight princes who were shocked, and the civil servant group would not pay attention to it at all.
What makes Jia Cong even more speechless is that Mr. Jia Dairu, who had done nothing, actually received the greatest benefit. He was praised by many nobles and even intended to send children from the side branches of the family to the Jia clan to study.
Looking at Jia Dairu's face full of contentment and accepting it calmly, Jia Cong really had the urge to hit someone.
When the news came that Jia Yun and others had passed the Tongsheng examination, Jia Dairu happened to be in class. At that time, his old face was full of shock. How could he forget all about it so quickly?
Of course, Jia Cong didn't care very much. Anyway, the place where Jia Yun and his younger brothers really studied was in the book club next to Huiyou Bookstore.
As long as the family knowledge is not rotten to the core, and even Dian Mao will be affected, Jia Cong and his subordinates will not care too much.
I heard that the old lady and the second lady in Rongguo Mansion were a little unhappy, but at this time their minds were focused on the sick Phoenix Egg Jia Baoyu, and they didn't care about anything else.
By this time, Jia Yun and others did not have to worry about the suppression from Rongguo Mansion after they had been hit by Tong Sheng.
At this time, Jia Yun and other children were definitely the focus of attention of the Jia clan. As the patriarch of the clan, Jia Zhen, the head of the Ningguo Mansion, even held a banquet to celebrate, which was regarded as a clear path for the clan.
If the old lady and the second wife wanted to do something at this time, the older generation of the clan would not agree.
Don't think that because the Rongguo Mansion is so powerful, it can really do whatever it wants.
The world of Dream of Red Mansions is a standard ancient Chinese feudal world. It is a fairly traditional clan society, and the prestige of the clan elders is not weak.
Not to mention, the old lady and the second wife are still women. Women's right to speak in the clan is really average. In this case, they don't dare to make too many mistakes.
Jia Yun and other four newly promoted students were also very motivated and expressed that they would continue to work hard and continue to participate in the subsequent government examinations and college examinations, hoping to obtain the title of scholar.
The elders of the clan, as well as Jia Zhen, the current patriarch of the Jia clan, were quite cheerful and expressed their opinion that even though Jia Yun and others worked hard to study and take exams, the clan would bear all the rest.
At this point, Jia Yun and the other four new students can just study and prepare for the exam without worrying about those who are there or not.
It's just that what Jia Yun and other new students did next was a bit of a slap in the face to Jia Dairu, a master of ethnic studies who has been quite popular recently.
They did not return to their clan studies, but put their study place in the book club next to the Huiyou Bookstore, and directly made the book club public.
Most of the tribesmen didn't quite understand, and even felt that Jia Yun and others had some disrespect for their husband, Jia Dairu, and were being too arrogant.
Of course, there are also smart people who saw some clues but did not say anything out loud.
The existence of the newly promoted children helped Jia Cong attract enough attention, and even overshadowed certain situations caused by the Three Kingdoms Fever, at least in the Jia family in the capital.
It can be said that Jia Cong's luck is really quite good.
Not only has the risk of taking the lead in writing a book by himself has almost disappeared, but it is estimated that the government's restrictions on him will be relaxed a lot in the future.
No matter how much the old lady and the second wife have their own ideas, it would be inappropriate for them to interfere frequently in clan affairs.
With Jia Yun and his younger brothers attracting attention, Jia Yun, who writes novels, is not so eye-catching.
And he is just ready to take the next step!
Don't get me wrong, the reason why Jia Cong wrote vernacular novels such as "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" before was not just for fame and money.
Of course, at this time, the novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" had sold hundreds and thousands of books, and Jia Cong earned almost tens of thousands of taels of silver in one go. This is a fact.
At the same time, as the novel continues to be popular, the author Jia Cong's popularity continues to increase, and all of it is transformed into luck through the golden finger. This is naturally a good thing for him.
The harvest was great. Jia Cong was not dazzled by the prosperity in front of him, nor did he forget that the most important purpose of writing the novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was to comment.
Yes, Jia Cong spent a lot of energy to create the novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". In addition to using the novel to promote the story of the Three Kingdoms, the most important purpose is to comment on it later.
Just like some modern commentators, by commenting on the characters and events of the Three Kingdoms, as well as some of his own thoughts, readers who have read and liked the story of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" will understand that he is not just a novelist.
In the story of the Three Kingdoms, there are many military strategies and political ecology.
Otherwise, there would be no saying in modern society that "Young people don't read Water Margin, old people don't read Three Kingdoms." This is because there are too many conspiracies and intrigues in the Three Kingdoms stories, and they all involve power disputes between the court and wealthy families.
Once Jia Cong's comments on the story of the Three Kingdoms are widely recognized and even affect the judgment of the boss of Rongguo Mansion, will he be able to participate in the decision-making of some affairs in the mansion?
It doesn't matter if the old lady and the second madam don't let go, as long as the eldest master and the second master have such a consciousness.
What he needs is the right to speak in some government decisions...
