The Red Mansions

Chapter 194 Jia Lan: I will also stand out like Brother Yun
There are not many deeds of Jia Yun added to the family tree, and they are all refined.

One is his origin, including the names of his parents, which are slightly mentioned.

The second is when he started studying, when he passed the examination of scholar and scholar.

The third is when to start to be an official, which is a little more detailed.

For the time being, I only write about Jia Yun's deeds when he was the county magistrate and county magistrate in Cixi.

In particular, the two fights against Japanese pirates were written in the most detail.

This is a major event that truly honors the ancestors!
The Jia family established their family with martial arts.

Now that Jia Yun is both civil and military, being able to make great military exploits on the battlefield is the most worthy of boasting and the most exciting thing for the clansmen.

It is also the first time for many people in the clan to hear about it.

After all, Jia Yun has always kept a low profile. Many people only said that he was promoted quickly after studying and worshiping a good teacher. They never thought of any other love.

After hearing this, the clansmen clapped their hands and applauded loudly.

Inside the school house, the clan heads and clan elders of each house were also excited and excited.

It seemed that from Jia Yun's body, he could see the shadow of the former Ningrong Second Patriarch.

After Jia Dailing finished reading the text to be added to the family tree, he began to ask the elders of each clan if they had any additions or comments, and they all shook their heads and said no.

Therefore, the next step is for the respected elders of the clan to take out the genealogy and copy the text on it.

These writings, other houses will also take a copy.

There are one or two selective manifestations in their genealogy for evidence.

"The twelfth house in Jinling can only be taken there." Jia Dailing murmured.

Jia Yun nodded and said, "There's no rush, as long as the family tree of Beijing Eight Households can be updated in time."

When the Second Patriarch Ning Rong was there, the Twelve Houses of Jinling belonged to a relatively distant existence, which is why they stayed in Jinling.

After all, who wouldn't want to be in the capital?

Jia Dailing smiled when he heard the words, and said: "This old man is impatient. He always wants to let all the Jia family know the scenery of the clan overnight."

The third house of the Jia family has only had one Jia Yun in the past few decades or nearly a hundred years.

In the past few years, it has always been the scenery of big houses.

Not to mention other things, just the fact that Jia Jing passed the Jinshi examination at that time made others envious, thinking that Jia's mansion had successfully transformed into a scholarly family.

But people are not as good as heaven, Jia Jing was trapped by love, and his beloved woman had an extramarital affair with Jia Amnesty, which he knew.

Since then, Jia Jing has been devastated. Instead of being a good official, he went to practice Taoism and alchemy.

He didn't care about anything in Ningguo Mansion, and let his son Jia Zhen turn Ningguo Mansion upside down.

This made all the clansmen feel a pity while being surprised.

Even though the clansmen of other houses are jealous of Da Fang's easy life, they still hope that Da Fang can stand up.

After all, the signboard of the Jia Mansion was left behind by the ancestors who worked hard to earn it.

The children of Jia's family in other houses were away from home, and they often pulled the tiger skin of Jia's mansion to pull the banner, and wiped their faces.

But in the end, the brand of Jia's mansion was ruined by a group of wimps in Dafang.

Especially in recent years, Jia's mansion has become more and more unbearable.

Don't talk about supporting the tribe, it's not bad if you don't cheat the tribe.

But now, Jia Yun appeared in Sanfang who had been silent for many years.

In just a few years, the rapid rise to the sky has really made the clansmen who have been supporting for many years feel proud.

Soon, the text was transcribed, and starting from Jia Dailing, the family tree was signed to establish evidence.

The patriarchs of other houses who came to watch the ceremony also left their names and acted as witnesses. This was the ultimate purpose of inviting them to come.

"Okay! The revision of Sanfang's family tree is complete!"

Jia Dailing announced loudly, and then invited the clan heads and clan elders to stay for dinner before leaving.

Since the patriarchs and elders of the various houses were able to come here today, they made preparations for eating here, so they didn't refuse.

Only Jia Amnesty stepped forward and explained to Jia Dailing that he was ill and needed to go home to recuperate, and there was no delay.

The incident happened for a reason, and everyone in the family has heard about Jia Amnesty's recent incident.

Especially seeing his listless, sallow, emaciated, and depressed appearance, I was really afraid that something would happen to him.

So Jia Dailing stayed for a while, and let Jia Amnesty go back.

Seeing Jia Amnesty being helped out, many people gloated over his misfortune.

This guy Jia She is a first-class general, his eyes are high above the top, he is famous for being strong and domineering, and he has a very bad evaluation among his clansmen.

So, now that he is sick, no one comes forward to care about him.

But for Jia Jing, many people went to say hello to him after not seeing him for a long time.

Jia Yun also stepped forward to salute.

They are all scholars, when Jia Jing saw this junior, he showed a faint smile on his expressionless face, and even praised Jia Yun a few words.

It can be seen that Jia Jing doesn't really care about nothing.

His ability to go back to Ningguo Mansion every year to worship his ancestors shows that he still cares about family affairs.

while eating.

Jia Yun didn't sit with the elders like Jia Dailing, but sat at the same table with the teachings and masters in Yixue.

Jia Jing and Jia Zheng were also invited, and the scholars sat together and shared a common language.

Seeing that Sanfang Yixue had invited so many scholars and talents to teach, Jia Zheng was deeply moved and asked:
"Zizheng, you took in all the children from the other houses, but our eldest house was excluded, why?"

Jia Yun smiled and said, "The Dafang has a ready-made free school, and the juniors don't dare to do it for them."

None of the students in Jia's free school were in good shape, and he didn't want to spoil the style of study.

What's more, what he said is not bad, the big family has a big business, and there is no need for him to help.

Jia Zheng shook his head and said, "That's not true. All your masters here are well-known, and there are three others who serve as teachers."

"Why don't I disband Jia's free school when I go back, and let those younger generations come here to study?"

"Zizheng, don't worry, all the expenses will be settled by the Jia family, and Sanfang will not suffer."

"It's absolutely impossible!" Jia Yun hurriedly stopped her and said:

"Jia's Free School has been running for so many years, and it is still running well. Why should it be disbanded? Isn't this move to put the younger generation in an unrighteous situation?"

After a pause, he continued: "Furthermore, it is still unclear how good Sanfang's free education is. It will take three to five or eight years to produce results. It is too early to draw conclusions blindly."

Jia Zheng hesitated for a moment and didn't dwell on the matter.

As for the matter of asking Jia Yun for help, there are scholars around at the moment, but it is inconvenient to talk about it in detail, so he didn't say anything.

Soon, the food and wine were brought to the table one after another.

The table is extremely rich, with all kinds of chicken, duck, fish and meat, as well as fruits and vegetables.

Not to mention the other tribesmen, even Jia Zheng, who is often well-clothed and well-fed, was a little surprised to see it.

"Zizheng spent a lot of money this time, right?" Jia Zheng asked with a smile.

No need to think about it, but with Sanfang's financial resources, there is no way to buy a banquet of this level.

Therefore, Jia Yun must have contributed to this.

Jia Yun smiled and said: "Fortunately, worshiping ancestors is a big deal, and it's okay to spend a little bit of money, and it's not always like this."

"That's true." Jia Zheng nodded, and asked again, "Will Zizheng take the Enke Exam next year?"

Jia Yun nodded and said, "I want to participate. The juniors are already preparing for the exam with all their strength."

While chatting, Jia Yun not only cared about Jia Zheng, but also toasted with other scholars and scholars.

These juren and scholars were able to teach in Sanfang Free School, not all for money, but mostly for Jia Yun's face.

After all, now that Jia Yun is the imperial censor, she belongs to the rumor official of the Qing Dynasty, and scholars who make friends with him will not only not lose their price, but also have many benefits, which are also beneficial to their own reputation.

Furthermore, the profession of teaching is also quite respected in society.

That is to say, Jia Yun only has the merits of Juren now. If he becomes a Jinshi, there will be more scholars and Juren who will take the initiative to vote. This is the benefit of being in the same circle.

If Jia Yun hadn't taken the imperial examination route back then, even if he had made great achievements and been conferred a title, it would still be difficult to get along with scholars.

After all, civil servants have always looked down on military officials, and they don't have a good impression of nobles.

It took nearly an hour for a meal.

After the banquet was over, Jia Jing didn't stay long, greeted Jia Dailing and Jia Yun, and left in a hurry.

Jia Zheng stayed behind. Seeing that Jia Yun was still accompanying Jia Dailing to see off the guests, he took Jia Lian, Jia Baoyu, Jia Rong, Jia Lan and others to look around the schoolhouse.

As for Jia Zhen, since she is the patriarch of the big house, she is naturally chatting with the patriarchs and elders of other houses.

Many pines, cypresses and fruit trees were planted around the school and dormitories.

Jia Zheng led a group of people to rest under the shade of a big tree at the back of the school. It was much quieter here than before.

"This free school will cost at least a few thousand taels of silver, right?" Jia Lian said looking at the two rows of houses.

Jia Rong answered, "These houses, tables, chairs and benches alone cost several thousand taels of silver."

"I heard that Brother Yun will provide all the expenses for the free school in the future. This is not a small expense!"

Jia Zheng pinched his beard and said with a smile: "Zizheng is promising and can give back to the clan, so he is very popular among the clan. What he does is more effective than our Jia's family distributing some rice grains to the clan every year."

Jia Lian nodded and said in agreement: "That's true. Compared with food and clothing, the tribe still hopes that the children of the next generation will have the opportunity to study. Even if they can't pass the exam, they can write and count, and they will have a better future."

After a pause, he continued: "However, I really admire Brother Yun's generosity. If I have so much money, I won't be willing to spend so much money."

Jia Zheng glanced at him and said, "That's why he is now the head of the Ministry of War, patrolling the city's censor, but you are still a fifth-rank acquaintance, and you are still a loose official."

In front of Jia Lian, he spoke mercilessly.

Today's scene in the third room really stimulated Jia Zheng. He very much hoped that the big room could produce some capable people, but among the few in front of him, it seemed that only Jia Lan had hope.

After ridiculing Jia Lian, Jia Zheng ignored Jia Lian's embarrassment, turned around and said kindly to Jia Lan:
"Brother Lan, you have to study hard. Brother Yun is a role model you can see. Do you want to be like this in the future?"

The tiger-headed Jia Lan said with a serious expression: "Lan'er will definitely study hard, and in the future, she will be as famous as Brother Yun, and she will be honored!"

Upon hearing this, Jia Zheng nodded in satisfaction.
