Although Jia Cong suggested to the elder that the government should find a way to fish Uncle Lin out of the quagmire in Yangzhou, it could not be done immediately.
After all, it was the Yangzhou Salt Patrol Censor who was involved in nearly a quarter of Daqing's tax revenue. He was not the current Rongguo Mansion and could easily intervene.
The elder still has to test the old lady's thoughts. After all, most of the resources of Rongguo Mansion are firmly in the hands of the old lady.
Only when the old lady takes action in person can she mobilize the terrifying power of the four princes and eight princes, and even partially influence the situation in the court.
This is where the top noble families are the most powerful.
If the old lady has no idea and doesn't want to take action, the old man doesn't know what to do for the time being. This is the true nature of a homebody.
Jia Cong couldn't participate at all. At most, he could help make suggestions and secretly remind Lin Daiyu through letters from home.
As for the situation on Lin Ruhai's side, we can only wait slowly.
On the other hand, little girl Lin Daiyu heard that she wanted to return to Yangzhou to visit her father who was assassinated, but naturally she was unable to do so.
Neither the old lady nor Lin Ruhai, who rushed to deliver the urgent letter, allowed the little girl to take risks.
What an adventure!
No one knows whether the forces that dare to assassinate Lin Ruhai will be so mad that they continue the assassination. No one dares to ask little girl Lin Daiyu to take risks until there is a clear result.
In this dreary atmosphere, the news that Jia Yun and Jia Fang, another student of the Jia family with a cursive character, passed the exam to become a scholar, finally diluted the gloom hanging over Rongguo Mansion.
Needless to say, there was a joyous celebration. Jia Yun and Jia Fang became "other people's children" and their status in the family quickly improved.
Fortunately, these two guys have not been overwhelmed by joy and know the importance of Jia Cong, the boss.
According to the instructions that Jia Cong had arranged long ago, they expressed their willingness to teach and learn at the clan school to the clan leaders.
The patriarch Jia Zhen agreed without thinking, and Rongguo Mansion naturally had no objections.
As for the dissatisfaction of the ethnology master Jia Dairu, no one took it to heart.
Jia Dairu himself is just a scholar, and after so many years, who knows how much ink he still has left in his stomach?
Besides, it’s not like we have to drive Jia Dairu out of the clan school. Wouldn’t it be good to have two more teaching helpers at such an old age?
The reason why Jia Cong made such an arrangement was that he wanted to use the Jia Clan Academy as a training ground for his younger brothers, so that he could get a steady stream of loyal younger brothers and help him out at the same time.
Whether it is the famous Huiyou Bookstore or the rapidly expanding printing workshop, a sufficient number of confidants are needed to help take care of it.
Besides, he also needs to make good use of the power of the Jia family, and it is best to train a few officials. When the time comes, it will be more convenient for Jia Cong to do things.
The current "Three Kingdoms Fever" that has spontaneously formed in the capital has gathered a lot of popularity for Jia Cong, and condensed it into luck through the Golden Finger Luck Pagoda, which is enough for him to return to the main world smoothly, and there is still some leftover.
He is not in a hurry at all. He feels that writing novels in the world of Red Mansions is also a promising activity, which can help him accumulate the luck of being hugely popular.
The deeper the accumulated luck, the more nourishing his life will be in the future, whether in the Red Mansion World or the main world.
Instead of being cautious and unable to do anything in the main world, it is better to have a good time in the Red Mansion World.
In addition, he attaches great importance to the method of breathing, exhaling, and transporting qi and blood, which he has figured out based on the internal martial arts practice and medical knowledge in the main world, and is still being continuously adjusted and improved.
No matter what kind of existence the Red Mansion World is, it is a relatively complete world after all, and there are all kinds of knowledge he needs here.
If the time is right, he can also ask for advice from top doctors, or he can learn some special information through the Ouchi Secrets.
The current situation is quite good for Jia Cong. It is better to continue to accumulate in the world of Red Mansions. At least he must thoroughly perfect the method of breathing, exhaling, qi and blood, and learn to control all the exposed breath before he chooses to return.
.
Without mentioning other things, with the addition of two more gentlemen to family studies, and Jia Cong's suppression, Jia Clan Studies actually showed a rare style, with a very creative reading atmosphere.
However, such a good atmosphere was completely ruined by Jia Baoyu who suddenly broke in.
Seeing that Jia Baoyu's master was sick and could no longer teach him in a short period of time, Master Zheng simply sent Jia Baoyu to the clan school to attend the clan school.
This time, it was really lively...
The first day that Phoenix Egg Jia Baoyu went to school, he was surrounded by eight young boys. There was no one else in the scene.
All it took was a few more maids to surround him, and the master's character suddenly stood up.
The atmosphere in Rongguo Mansion has long been corrupted, as can be seen from the habitual snobbishness of the people below. The Jia clan members living on Ningrong Street are also infected with many bad habits.
This is also one of the reasons for the corruption of clan academic ethics. This is the saying that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked.
There are not many students who are willing to make progress in ethnic studies. If Jia Yun and others were not restrained by Jia Cong, it would be a dream to pass the exams of Tongsheng and Scholars.
The rest of the students were just dawdling in the clan school. If it weren't for the suppression by Jia Cong and his subordinates, the classroom discipline would have been completely broken.
But when Jia Baoyu came, the situation was a little different.
Some students learned at a young age to adapt to the situation, or to serve others. With Jia Baoyu's temperament, he quickly gathered around him a circle of students who were fawning.
The most speechless thing is that these guys are all so handsome and beautiful, and they quickly became one with the Phoenix Egg.
I don’t know how they reported it to Jia Baoyu, but on the first day of attending clan school, Phoenix Egg was completely unhappy with Jia Cong, his eldest cousin.
Perhaps, because of the unpleasant experience of visiting Jia Cong as a book friend that year, I felt a little repelled.
Jia Baoyu is like a child at heart, and whatever is in his heart is directly expressed on his face.
Naturally, the ethnic studies students surrounding him did not dare to speak out. Jia Cong's height of just over 1.6 meters was not something they dared to provoke easily.
Not to mention, Jia Yun and Jia Fang have become masters of clan studies, and the other younger brothers are not good at it either. Being the little overlords of clan studies is no joke.
The eight servants of Phoenix Egg didn't care about so many things. Seeing Master Bao's expression of hesitation, they immediately decided to teach Jia Cong, the eldest son of the family, a lesson.
Aren't they just a concubine of a big family? If they were beaten, they would be beaten. With Second Master Bao supporting them, there was no need to worry about future troubles.
Therefore, when Jia Cong arrived at the clan school on time before the clan school class as usual, he was immediately surrounded by four of the eight boys around Phoenix Egg.
"Mr. Cong, don't blame us for not giving you face. Who told you to offend Mr. Bao!"
