To be honest, Jia Zheng's mood is quite complicated!
If he had not read the story of the Three Kingdoms and the commentary on the Three Kingdoms, he could still confidently point his finger at the nose of Jia Cong, his careless nephew, and scold him for his misbehavior.
He's just a bit stiff and stiff, but he's not really stupid and can't tell the difference.
In particular, the existence that was stimulated by the Three Kingdoms comment and the two hints of threats are already very illustrative.
Thinking of some of the things in the Three Kingdoms Commentary, Jia Zheng felt shuddering and did not dare to participate in such things.
Not to mention that Rongguo Mansion is now less powerful than before, even when Rongguo Mansion was at its peak, he believed that his old father would not be arbitrarily involved in these matters.
The reason why he specifically called Jia Cong, his nephew, was for protection, at least he thought so.
His nephew Jia Cong couldn't bear it if he became angry at the suggestion of a threat. Of course, the Rongguo Mansion, which had already lost its momentum, would also suffer the same consequences.
Jia Zheng is a face-saving person. If it were Jia Baoyu, he would have taken action directly. He dared to ask questions about the things he ordered. Do you know what the principles of the master of heaven and earth are?
Just looking at his body shape, he is not an ordinary nine-year-old nephew at all. It’s really hard to glare at him.
According to his disciple Qing Ke, Brother Cong, who can write the story of the Three Kingdoms and the commentary on the Three Kingdoms, must be very talented.
Although Jia Zheng's face remained calm at that time, he was still very happy in his heart.
The fact that there are talented people among the younger generation in the house proves that he, the head of the family, is not without merit.
"There are some things that even the government cannot get involved in casually. It's too dangerous!"
Rarely, Mr. Zheng Er explained in a gentle tone and said leisurely: "One bad move will result in the whole family being punished!"
A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect Mr. Zheng to explain calmly. The unhappiness in his heart disappeared and he said directly: "Second uncle, my nephew can stop writing reviews of the Three Kingdoms, but some people should not go too far.
!”
As he said that, he put the review articles in the latest issues published by Huiyou Bookstore directly on the desk in front of Mr. Zheng, and said disdainfully: "Some people are so shameless that they actually compete with a nine-year-old boy like me.
, don’t you think it’s embarrassing?”
The corners of Mr. Zheng Er's mouth twitched, but he did not look at these familiar review articles. He had quietly read them before.
How should I put it? He felt that many of the comments that refuted Jia Cong were well written and were serious "master" comments. However, some of the wording was too intense and the content of "ginseng and cock" was a bit too much.
.
As my nephew Jia Cong said, it was really unseemly to argue with a nine-year-old boy like him without regard for dignity.
Fortunately, Jia Cong did not insist and must continue writing the very dangerous Three Kingdoms review. This was enough.
How did he know that Jia Cong was just following the trend?
In the commentary on the Three Kingdoms, the more controversial figures of the late Han Dynasty have almost been commented on, and Jia Cong is also about to stop.
Continuing on, it is a comment on the figures of the Three Kingdoms. Many things are actually similar to certain situations in the Daqing Dynasty. If they are said too much, it will really lead to death.
As the saying goes, there is nothing new under the sun!
Jia Cong really has no intention of challenging the bottom line of tolerance of the entire feudal ruling class. His previous comments were enough for him to steal the limelight and gain massive popularity.
The "Three Kingdoms Fever" is now about to reach a bottleneck in terms of publicity. It will still bring him a steady stream of popularity in the future, but it is unlikely to have any explosive growth.
The form of storytelling is still somewhat simple, and it only covers urban areas, that is, residents with a certain economic strength.
Although he made a lot of money by riding on the popularity, Jia Cong's main goal is not to make money, but to gain more and more popularity.
He could see clearly that this matter could not be rushed. Only when the story of the Three Kingdoms continued to be spread through various forms, such as various operas and shadow puppet carvings, could the story of the Three Kingdoms be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Now, the limelight has been enough and the popularity has been harvested. I can let go of the Three Kingdoms for the time being. There is no need to cling to the story of the Three Kingdoms.
Seeing that his nephew was so knowledgeable, Mr. Zheng was in a good mood. He changed the subject and asked about Jia Cong's homework. He said seriously: "The imperial examination is the right way. Don't waste your time on writing novels. This is putting the cart before the horse!"
Go ahead and put the cart before the horse!
Mr. Zheng's "politically correct" and rather rigid words almost made Jia Cong roll his eyes.
Before Phoenix Egg Jia Baoyu comes forward in the imperial examination, if he dares to come forward, can the house still accommodate him?
Besides, he is only in his early nine years and has made great achievements in the imperial examination so quickly. Does he think that those civil servants can't target him?
Under the double blow from both inside and outside, believe it or not, before he had any further performance, he would be slapped with a certain label and unable to advance in the imperial examination.
Jia Cong didn't care much, but he didn't have any intention of completely falling out with the civil service group or the government.
It’s just that Mr. Zheng is a little obsessed with pursuing the imperial examination. If he can’t stay in the good circle of nobles, he has to take the arduous road of the imperial examination. He has never suffered in this aspect, otherwise he would never be able to show off all day long.
He has the air of an old scholar and considers himself a scholar.
He dealt with it casually and praised Brother Bao a few times for his intelligence. As expected, Mr. Zheng was amused. He casually rewarded Jia Cong with a valuable set of Four Treasures of the Study, and then let Jia Cong leave.
Look, don’t look at Mr. Zheng’s various dislikes for the phoenix egg in person. He is not a beast when you meet him, but he is an evil when he is born. He seems to want to put the phoenix egg back into its mother and rebuild it. In fact, Mr. Zheng’s expectations for the phoenix egg are not small.
of.
‘Born with jade’ is still very interesting and magical. How can it be said that Mr. Zheng Er has no ideas in his mind?
It's just a pity that Phoenix Egg couldn't understand Master Zheng's "deep" fatherly love and was frightened into a soft-footed shrimp, thus wasting all Master Zheng's "painstaking efforts".
As soon as I came out of the second room, I was immediately invited over by the young man next to me. When I met him, he asked: "Why did the second brother call you over? Isn't it embarrassing for you?"
Look, Jia Cong wrote all kinds of routines about the Three Kingdoms in vain, and finally got the approval of the great master, otherwise why would he care about such nonsense?
He didn't hide anything. He told the second master Zheng what he meant. He ignored the angry look and pale face of the first master and directly expressed his thoughts: For the safety of Rongguo Mansion, he wouldn't bother!
At this moment, the eldest man's expression was unprecedented. He was angry, depressed, and relieved at the same time. For a moment, he was so exhausted that he didn't want to speak...
