Red Mansion Royal Cat

Chapter 241 The Beginning of Shilin's Layout

Wu Zonghui, who had been carefully studying the tea cups in the Wei Mansion, couldn't help shaking when he heard Jia Cong yelling about smashing Kong's house.

As expected of the son of Marquis Jia En, he dares to say anything!
Confucianism in the world, the Confucian family is respected.He didn't accept Jia Cong's words in Literati House for a long time, because he didn't dare to offend the Kong family.

Look at them, they just opened their mouths and shut their mouths, but they smashed the Kong family, and they even pulled the cabinet chief assistant with them.

"Old man, the Kong family's arrogance is so arrogant that it killed your grandson and sent only one servant to deliver the letter, are you not angry?"

"Let's talk about it first, I'm here to fight for your injustice. How about it? Do you want to do him a big favor, first smashing the capital, and then smashing Qufu."

"Demolish Yan Shenggong's mansion and move the grave of Kong Shengren to your home, you can forget it as Yan Shenggong..."

Snapped!
Jia Cong was slapped on the head, holding his head in aggrieved way: "I was thinking of you wholeheartedly, and you still hit me."

"Speak out loud, dare to say anything!"

Wei Qinghe withdrew his hand, carefully put away the poems on the table, and then looked at Wu Zonghui, who had always bowed his head in silence.

"Qingmo, the old man remembers that you are from Huizhou, right?"

Wu Zonghui was overwhelmed by the flattery, quickly put down the teacup in his hand, and replied respectfully: "Your official is indeed a native of Huizhou Prefecture."

"Mountains are surrounded by clear streams and waters are surrounded by the city. It is difficult to paint a picture of white clouds and blue peaks. There are wild colors hidden everywhere on the buildings and terraces, and the sound of reading books is lit up in every house. Huizhou is a great place with outstanding people!"

Wei Qinghe admired one or two, and suddenly changed the subject: "Qing Mo, do you know why the old man didn't want you to enter Beijing early?"

"Old Qi Ge once told the subordinate officials that you think that the subordinate officials are not qualified enough to take on great responsibilities."

When he said this, Wu Zonghui couldn't help being a little bit aggrieved.

Wei Qinghe was not angry, but laughed instead: "What he said is true, and this old man really thinks so. Even today, this old man still thinks you are not qualified enough!"

Wu Zonghui was taken aback for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "I also ask the Grand Minister to clear up the confusion for the subordinate."

"You were born in the Hanlin Academy. After leaving the hall, you went to the Ministry of Rites to serve as a foreigner, and then went to Henan to serve as an academic officer. What do you think the qualifications the old man mentioned? Are these noble officials who do not understand the people's livelihood and economics?"

Wei Qinghe shook his head: "No, the old man said back then that if you don't go to the prefecture or county, you are not allowed to enter the ministry hall. You have no experience in being close to the people and the people's livelihood economy. If you enter the ministry hall, you will end up with a rich wall. The site. Originally, the old man wanted you to serve as an official close to the people for a few more years, but unfortunately..."

It's a pity that Wu Zonghui returned to Beijing with all his heart and worshiped under Qi Bohan's sect. Although Wei Qinghe was very optimistic about this young man, he still wanted to give Master Cifu some face.

The 40-year-old Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Officials is better than Jiuqing, and Wu Zonghui is not without pride.Although I was a little unhappy in my heart, I also listened to it a little bit.

He expressed his displeasure in silence, but Wei Qinghe didn't care, and continued: "You know everything about that kid in your family, right?"

"General Xiao Jia has already told the subordinate officials what happened, but the subordinate officials did not expect..."

Wei Qinghe took Wu Zonghui's words: "You never thought that Kong Lingren, or the people behind him, would set his mind on you, the left servant of the official department. And with such a dirty method, you are afraid! "

Wu Zonghui gritted his teeth, stood up and bowed: "Please teach me, Grand Master."

Wei Qinghe didn't respond directly, but he took out two posts from the table and gave each of Jia Cong and Wu Zonghui a copy.

"It's not urgent. The grass snake hasn't moved yet. Everything now is just an appearance. Wait a little longer. The old man's birthday will be half a month later. Come back and be the door boy for the old man, okay?"

Wu Zonghui took the post in a daze, dazed.

Jia Cong took the post and muttered, "It won't delay me from smashing the Kong family..."

Wei Qinghe chuckled: "What's the use of smashing Kong's family? Didn't you just say that you want to take this old man to do something big? Then we have to recruit more helpers, don't we?"

He stood up and rubbed Jia Cong's head, then turned his head and asked, "Qing Mo, what do you think?"

Wu Zonghui's eyes lit up, and he bowed and said, "Your official understands, if you cut the weeds, you won't get rid of the roots, and the spring breeze will regenerate you. If you want to catch all the black hands behind the scenes, you need to involve more like-minded people."

Wei Qinghe nodded in satisfaction, it is comfortable to deal with smart people.

Seeing the old man holding the teacup, Wu Zonghui took the initiative to say goodbye.Wei Qinghe personally delivered it to the front door, but left Jia Cong behind.

The two watched the Wu family's carriage leave, and Jia Cong asked in puzzlement, "Aren't you worried that Wu Zonghui will betray us?"

Wei Qinghe replied confidently: "He won't, other people's knives are on his neck, and now he needs someone who can protect the Wu family."

"Uh... Isn't Wu Zonghui from Qi Ge?"

"Qi Bohan doesn't have the guts to go all out with the Kong family, not to mention the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Officials is not unable to change people."

Wei Qinghe suddenly lost interest, and sighed: "Cliques, cronies, when disaster strikes, there are no cronies. Wu Zonghui came from a poor family, he wanted to prove himself too much, and if he listened to my persuasion back then, he would not get involved early In this mud."

"Then which party are you, Grand Master? The Saint Party? The Emperor Party? Or is it a party of its own?"

Snapped!
Jia Cong was hit on the head again, Wei Qinghe Youyou said: "Master said: A gentleman is reserved and does not fight; "

"National...cough cough, that's a bad word!" Jia Cong scratched his head, thinking for a long time before choking out this sentence.

Wei Qinghe didn't know what Jia Cong was thinking, he laughed and said, "Okay, don't talk about this. The old man asked you to tell you to study hard at home these few days. On the day of the old man's birthday, there will be many Xianda is here. Whether you can seize the opportunity at that time depends on yourself."

"Father..."

Jia Cong bowed gratefully: "Thank you for your cultivation!"

Wei Qinghe leaned over and pulled Jia Cong up, and said with a smile: "But it's a little effort, and I'm paying you back. The way you read it, I can take advantage of it."

……

A case shocked the government and the public, and Kong Lingren immediately became the most famous name in the capital.

But the reaction of the court was confusing. The chief minister of the cabinet, Wei Qinghe, was recuperating at home. Except for occasional visits by close people, the door was closed.

The Secretary of Tongzheng received enough petitions to burn a kang every day, but Qinzheng Palace never sent them out.

Master Cifu was almost driven crazy, Kong Lingren was imprisoned in the Imperial Prison, the Third Division couldn't intervene, and Beizhen Fusi couldn't get any news out, no one knew whether Kong Lingren was recruited or not, or who he confessed to .

Qi Bohan wanted to ask Cao Jiugong, the Commander of the Dragon Guards, for three consecutive days to inquire about the situation, but Cao Jiugong was ill when he went to ask the question the next day, except for the first time he showed his face.

On the third day, Cao Dudu went to Qufu, Shandong by order, and brought a large team of people with him.

When the news spread, Beijing and China were in an uproar.Could it be that the palace is going to attack Yan Shenggong's mansion?
"Undecided is the scariest thing!"

For the past few days, Jia Cong didn't even leave the gate of Rongguo Mansion, hiding at home while reading and watching a play.

Qi Bohan also sent someone to invite him to meet the cabinet, but Jia Cong declined.

In the words of Mr. She, Qi Bohan was forced to stand on the opposite side of the emperor, not to mention asking for help. As a confidant of the imperial party, Rongguo Mansion would only go to meet him if it was a fool.

It's easy to find excuses, headache today, buttocks tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, fingernails hurt!

Anyway, it hurts every time, as for where it hurts, it depends on my mood.

The family visit in Yuanchun is coming soon, these few days Jia Zheng has gone to the Ministry of Industry for leave, and is at home directing blindly.

In the end, the old lady got angry and drove him out of the family-senting garden, and finally let the servants make the final preparations in an orderly manner.

But Jia Zhengren was idle, and his heart became more anxious.

If the father is anxious, the son will be miserable.It turned out that Baoyu followed the sisters to write poems and lyrics for the various scenery in the garden, named them, and had a good time playing in the garden.

He was suddenly called into the study by Mr. Zheng, and after a short while, he heard screams from inside...

"Second brother Bao is going to suffer this time, the old lady can't take care of him right now!"

Jia Cong and Xichun grabbed the candied fruit on the plate, threw one into their mouths, and sighed: "Second Uncle has been on fire for the past few days, I guess Second Brother Bao's ass will not be safe!"

"Vulgar language!"

Daiyu frowned and said with a smile: "I also blame Baoyu for being playful. She knew that there would be many guests at home that day, so she didn't study hard. If the elders take the exam, wouldn't it be a shame if they made a fool of themselves?" It hurt our family's face, you see grandma won't help him this time."

"That's right, Brother Lianhuan was beaten several times by his father, saying that he memorized the wrong book..."

Tanchun rubbed his nephew Jia Lan's head, and said with emotion: "It's still Brother Lan who is so good that he was praised by Daddy."

Li Wan smiled, with a proud look on his face.Her only hope in this life is that Jia Lan will be successful. Fortunately, her son has inherited his father's intelligence. He is only four years old and can memorize quite a few words.

It is no exaggeration to say a child prodigy.

Of course, there is no comparison with Jia Cong, a monster.

"Lang Ge'er is a child prodigy in my family, and it will be no problem to be the number one in the exam in the future!"

Jia Cong stretched out his hand to Jia Lan, and the little baby showed his dimples obediently, and trot towards him.

"Third uncle, cat, cat!"

Jia Cong picked it up, put it on his lap, and squeezed his soft face: "I want to play with the big cat, okay, do you still remember the "Disciple Rules" that Uncle San taught you yesterday? Let the third uncle listen to it. After you recite it, the third uncle will take you to see the big cat."

"Disciple rules, sages' instruction. Filial piety is the first, and faith is the second.

Pan loves all but kindness.If you have enough energy, you can learn literature.

Parents call, do not slow down, parents order, do not be lazy,
Parents teach, you must listen carefully, parents take responsibility, you must obey.

In winter it is warm, in summer it is warm, in the morning it is peaceful, in the evening it is calm. "

……

About halfway through the memorization, Jia Lan started stuttering, and finally buried her little face in Jia Cong's robe in shame, and whispered, "Lan'er is not good, I can't remember."

The full text of the "Disciple Regulations" is more than a thousand words, and Jia Lan can do this in just one day, which completely beats the rest of the Ningrong and Rongfu.

This is only four years old, in the entire capital, which four-year-old doll can be so smart?

Jia Cong finally understood how Elder Xi never forgets Jia Zhu. It is said that Jia Zhu is also like this.

Whose family has such a baby, can the head of the family be unhappy?
"Brother Lang, your third uncle and I couldn't remember so much when you were your age."

Jia Cong rubbed his nephew's head, stuffed a candied fruit into his mouth, and comforted Jia Lan who was still sad about it.

"Sister-in-law, I'm afraid Brother Lan is going to be our family's No. [-] scholar, but don't push him too much. Children should play and learn. A combination of work and rest is the long-term solution."

Li Wan was startled when he heard the words, and seemed to be thinking.

She put all her energy on teaching her son, always acting anxiously.

Jia Cong clearly pointed out the inadequacy: "Brother Lang is only four years old, and I have lost weight in the past few days. I think it's because my sister-in-law has given me a lot of homework. To put it bluntly, sister-in-law , I don't want what happened to Big Brother Zhu to happen to Lang Geer again."

When Jia Zhu was mentioned, Li Wan burst into tears instantly.

Alas, Jia Cong kept holding back and didn't say anything, so he knew it would be like this.Several years have passed, and Jia Zhu is still Li Wan's indelible demon.

Yingchun and others surrounded the crying Li Wan to comfort him.Unexpectedly, after crying a few times, Li Wan got up and knelt down to Jia Cong.

"If Brother Cong hadn't reminded me, I would have almost made a big mistake..."

Jia Lan was still sitting on his lap, Jia Cong couldn't get up, and waved his hands again and again: "Don't, sister-in-law, get up quickly...you are ruining my life like this, we are a family, how can a family talk about two things?" Family talk. Second Sister, Sister Lin, quickly help the eldest sister-in-law up."

"Brother Cong said, sister-in-law, get up quickly."

Yingchun and Daiyu helped Li Wan up.

After sitting down again, Jia Congcai continued: "Sister-in-law's family has a long history of education. I told Uncle Li the day before yesterday that it would be best for Lan Geer to study in Li's school in the future."

"Go to Li's Academy? Why?"

Li Wan was a little puzzled, if the Jia family had been poor in education before, it was because she didn't want her son to study there.

But now there is the rectification of the old patriarch Jia Jing, and the second-class Jinshi is the master. Which school can compare with Jia's family school.

I just heard Jia Cong say: "The Li family is a scholarly family, and there are many seeds of reading in the family. The difference from our family is that Lang Geer went to the Li family school, and the classmates and friends he made will all be his help. To say something utilitarian If so, our family doesn’t lack anything now, what we lack is the help from Shilinzhong.”

Yingchun, Tanchun and Xiangyun couldn't understand Jia Cong's words, but Li Wan and Daiyu did.

This is the second time for his father, Li Shouzhong, to be in charge of the Guozijian. Shilin has a very good reputation, and there are many children from various families who go to Li's Academy to study, forming a large circle invisibly.

Perhaps these families are not of high rank and family background, but they all have a lot of prestige among the elites.

Jia Jing is the only one in the Jia family, and he is Gao Juexian, but his influence in the scholarly circle cannot be compared with that of the Li family.

If his son is allowed to study in the Li family, as Jia Cong said, in the future, his classmates and his classmates' families can be his son's help.

But... is it really possible?Will the elders in the family agree?
