Chapter 9 The Trap
Jia Mu was looked at with expectant or anxious eyes by everyone, her heart felt slightly depressed, and she couldn't help but turn the rosary beads in her hand.
School reform is supposed to be a matter for men, but Shen Ning is overstepping the bounds of being a substitute.
But with her background and status, coupled with today's incident, it is logical for her to intervene in the reform of the school.
Didn’t you notice that everyone who was dissatisfied just now was now expecting her to agree to Shen Ning’s proposal?
The only person who didn't want her to agree was her second daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wang.
Jia Zhu, a scholar from last year's middle school, is now studying in the Imperial College, where his father-in-law, Mr. Li, is taking care of him. Their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have no worries, and the Jia family's clan studies can't control him. But what about Baoyu? ?
Baoyu is six years old this year. When he was three or four years old, he learned many words from his eldest granddaughter Yuan Chun. Now it is a good age to study. He has already hired a teacher, so there is no need to come to the clan school to study.
But if you don’t read..., you will be given five hundred taels of silver a year.
This money is nothing, but the problem lies in her second son Jia Zheng, who likes to commit crimes. If one of them is not good, he will probably let Baoyu come over every seven days to eat Yikusi sweet rice.
Although I don’t know what the specific taste of this meal is, I can tell it’s not good just by looking at it.
Thinking of this, Jia Mu sighed, "Okay, okay, that's right. You also know that Zhu'er is studying in the Imperial College, and you let him come back to eat the sweet rice of remembering hardships and thinking..."
"Zhu'er has already passed the examination as a scholar, so naturally she is not included in this list."
In fact, Shen Ning said that it was time for Jia Zhu to come back and follow Jiao Da to give her body a good workout.
It's a pity that if she really wanted Jia Zhu to come back, even Jia Zheng would not agree if Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang could fall out with her on the spot.
Shen Ning smiled and said: "In the Jia family, all those who have passed the examination are not bound by family studies. As for the others..., they have become the children of the Jia family and enjoy the wealth of the Jia family, so not Forgetting your roots, you should be the first."
Jia Mu: "..."
Mrs. Wang: "..."
Both of them want to grind their teeth, but this time. If they object at times, they have forgotten their roots.
Hmph~
The two of them couldn't help but glance at her belly.
"That's it...okay!"
Jia Mu sighed in her heart, "The old woman is also a Jia family, so the old woman will be like you and donate 300 yuan to the clan school every year. "Two, buy some pens, ink, paper and inkstones for the children!"
"The old lady and sister-in-law have donated." Mrs. Wang's tone was gentle, but the smile in her eyes was inexplicably a little fierce. Then my sister-in-law and I should donate a hundred taels to the clan school every year!”
Mrs. Xing: “…”
She doesn’t want to donate, and she has no children to study.
It’s just that everyone donated, and based on her status, she... had to donate.
When Shen Ning looked over, Ms. . ”
She got up with the help of Qingzhu and blessed the three of them.
Except for Jia Mu who didn't move, the two ladies, Xing and Wang, could only avoid it.
“Oh, eldest aunt, why are you so polite to us?”
At Jia Mu’s signal, Wang Xifeng hurriedly came over to support her, “It’s all for the sake of the clan. You are not well. Okay, my sister-in-law and I will take care of what happens next. You and the old lady, my wife, and the second wife should go back and rest early.”
“Feng’er still loves people.”
Shen Ning patted her hand, "But the old lady and the two younger siblings still have to be served by you. Leave the affairs here to Lian'er!"
She glanced at him encouragingly. Youshi, who wrote down the rules of rewards and punishments in pen and ink, "Write it all down? After writing it down, give it to Lian'er and let him discuss the details with Shedi, Zhen'er and the others."
"Write it down."
Youshi put down her pen calmly. It was only then that everyone realized that she, who was standing farthest away, had memorized more than half a page.
Hiss~
No wonder she can marry into the Ningguo Mansion and become the eldest daughter-in-law.
The admiration in the eyes of all the ladies and grandmothers cannot be faked.
The regulations just written on paper and pen will basically not be changed again.
Not all of them live a good life.
With this reward of several hundred taels of silver, the children are more motivated to learn.
The days are promising. Even if the screams of the children in the middle courtyard are still occasionally heard, there are more smiles on their faces. Jia She, who was drinking tea at this time, watching Jia Zhen beating someone and listening to the noise outside, seemed to be thinking of someone, his eyes were distant and sad.
The women from the outer courtyard came crying and making a fuss. He originally thought they would knock on the door and make a big fuss, but he didn’t expect that they would stop crying and making a fuss after a while. .
Mr.
My mother will not intervene until she knows the specific reason, then only my sister-in-law.
Jia She sipped the tea and felt the bitterness in the tea.
"Uncle Pardon!"
After knocking three boards on the last person's butt, Jia Zhen left the job to the boy and came over while wiping her hands, "I should inform Uncle Zheng about today's matter. ?”
“Hmm~”
Jia She raised his eyelids and said with a half-smile: “Aren’t you going to tell your elder brother too?”
His father? ?
Thinking of his father, Jia Zhen's face turned pale and her calves were spinning a little, "Of course I have to say that."
I just hope that my mother can still protect him as before.
“I also plan to expel Jia Dairu and Jia Rui from the Jia family, but I don’t know you...”
“It’s up to you, I have no objection.”
Jia She should give up. The shopkeeper is used to it, "As long as you can handle it yourself."
Just as he was about to say something else, he saw the courtyard door being opened by the boy guarding the door. His son Jia Lian came over, "Father, Brother Zhen."
Jia Lian held the piece of paper and said, "This is Uncle "It's a lie to say that I don't admire the new school regulations formulated by my mother. "It looks very impressive. Even the old ladies and ladies support it."
No wonder there is no sound outside.
Jia She and Jia Zhen looked together, and soon there was a smile on their faces.
"Where is the old lady? Your daughter-in-law left with you?"
"Yes!"
You's handwriting is not easy to see, and Jia Lian is still copying it in the school. After saying it again, "I'm afraid they will all be home by now."
"Well~, let's do it like this!"
Jia She glanced at his son and said in a tone of voice Rarely gentle, "Your elder brother Zhu is still studying, Lian'er, from now on... you will also go to school to study."
What?
Jia Lian was shocked, "Dad, I, I...haven't I already donated Tongzhi?"
When he got married, his family specially donated the fifth-grade Tongzhi to him because he was afraid that his name would not look good!
Brother Zhu didn’t donate his official position because he wanted to be an examiner.
He also has the ability to pass the test.
But at my age, if I still come to study with a bunch of brats...
"If you donate your classmates, why don't you learn to be a human being?"
Jia She's When his face suddenly turned cold, Jia Lian almost knelt down, "Dad, don't I still have to take care of the house?"
"Scoff~"
Jia She's contempt was beyond words, "I'll steal it from your wife." Guan Jiaquan is very interesting?”
Jia Lian: “…”
He wanted to ask Jia Zhen for help, but Jia Zhen looked at the sky and the earth, looked at her butt and looked at the pillars, but didn't look at him.
Son of a bitch, are you trying to trick him?
“Yes!”
Those who know how to do things are distinguished. Jia Lian didn’t want to be beaten by his father in public, so he was dejected and could only temporarily agree, “I’ll come to school.”
