Chapter 38 Viewing
Helping his uncle escape, Jia Zhu stood in the bustling crowd, watching his father's servant riding a horse to chase the receding carriage, with a slight smile on his face.
My father himself can't do anything about my uncle, so what's the point of sending a few servants?
When he returned home last night, although the father and son did not have a good conversation, Jia Zhu knew why his father was so angry. His father could not bear the label of being blind and unable to judge people, so he wanted his uncle to take the blame!
Jia Zhu felt a little amused and a little sad. His father was spoiled by his grandmother. Things in officialdom were not that simple. In fact, it would be good for him to stay in the Ministry of Works and be an official who was not noticed by others.
But grandma lived in the glory of the past.
She seemed to have forgotten everything her grandfather, her great-uncle Dongfu, and her uncle Jing had done.
But maybe not forgotten.
She had lived in the inner palace all her life, enjoying the flattery of others. How could she know the difficulties of officialdom? Jia Zhu sighed softly and walked forward slowly.
He should go read a book! Books can help him answer all questions and make him forget his troubles.
The servant Lai Fu followed obediently.
All those who were too active were driven away by the old man, but he, who was honest and obedient, stayed behind.
Therefore, if you want to stay by my side, the best way is to just do whatever I say. I don’t need to have my own brain.
A master and a servant walked into Shanhai Bookstore, and Jia Zhu picked up a copy of Zuo Zhuan.
If Confucius wanted to say that a person's behavior was very upright and that he was a gentleman, he would say that he was a person. If Confucius wanted to say that a person's behavior was very improper and that he was a villain, he would say that he was a "only" person.
My father didn’t understand these abusive words and the hidden meanings of officialdom.
But he...must understand.
After a while, Jia Zhu was immersed in Zuo Zhuan, which he had read countless times, and forgot everything around him.
…
At Ningguo Mansion, Shen Ning, who had just woken up from her lunch break, walked slowly in Huifang Garden accompanied by Youshi.
"Mother!"
You supported her and whispered, "Over at the West Mansion, Uncle She has escaped from the city. He is very likely going to my father's Taoist temple."
"oh?"
Shen Ning didn't care much, "He was smart for once."
Just hide for two more days and everything will be settled.
By then, the old lady couldn't do anything to her own son just because of a servant.
"Don't worry, your father won't do anything."
Jia Jing, who has fallen into another kind of delusion, will not do anything.
After seeking the immortal way, he didn't want to be involved in any worldly cause and effect anymore.
His wife, daughter and grandchildren were not in his eyes, so what was Jia She? He already felt like an immortal, standing on the clouds, overlooking all living things.
What can he see?
Shen Ning sighed slightly in her heart, "Send two people to check and see if he is washing his own clothes now."
If you have too much free time, you will easily think about all sorts of things.
Trapped in the delusion of thought.
"I remember that the Taoists there all grew their own vegetables at the beginning. They ate whatever they grew. Later... let them return to the way they were before!"
After Jia Jing left, although they still grew vegetables, it felt much more utilitarian.
For example, Jia Jing likes to eat tender young vegetable seedlings, so they have never run out of supplies.
In the past, they would wait until they grew up before eating them.
"……yes!"
Yu Shi hesitated for a moment, but didn't dare to say anything in the end, thinking that her father-in-law might be hiding something.
Anyway, the people she sent out had checked from a distance and found that although her father-in-law's food and drink were not as good as before, there were always little Taoist boys to help wash his clothes, shoes and socks.
Of course, this may have been arranged by Master Jia Zhen.
After all, he is also my father-in-law's son.
"Clothes, shoes, socks, etc..."
Shen Ning thought for a moment and said, "Let Zhen'er take care of her as before, and let the mansion provide for her."
What people say is scary!
It’s okay for her to be a shrew, but Jia Zhen should still be a filial son!
"You don't need to do more. Your father... won't want any."
"yes!"
This time, Youshi agreed immediately, "Mother, there is tea in Tianxiang Tower, would you like to go over and sit for a while?"
Tianxiang Tower stands high and sees far.
After she found out that her mother-in-law liked going there very much, she would ask someone to prepare tea and snacks early every time.
"Then go sit down."
Shen Ning's mood was higher than before.
It has been more than a month since she came here. Although she has gone crazy three times, visited the school, the Lai family, and even the long-famous Rongguo Mansion, but she has not visited these three places.
Her current physical condition and current environment do not allow her to wander around, but it is always good to watch her from afar.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were about to go upstairs when they heard Jia Zhen's voice in the distance.
Shen Ning stopped.
"Mother!"
Jia Zhen, who was in the prime of life and had a short beard, strode over with his light grey robe with scattered flowers thrown up. Seeing her smiling face, his joy did not seem fake. "My son has already seen the village head. They are all honest and hardworking people."
The most important thing is that these two farms are not far from the capital.
It is obvious that the best things in the house are with the father.
At this moment, Jia Zhen finally no longer felt sorry for his 3,600 taels of silver.
"There are many medicinal herbs grown on the mountain in Xixiaozhuang."
Jia Zhen felt that other farms in the family could follow suit.
After all, the mountains are empty anyway.
Moreover, growing medicinal herbs does not require too much care.
"Hmm~"
Shen Ning nodded, "Did you find the person I asked you to find?"
“I actually found two.”
Jia Zhen laughed, "Li Dagui, a tenant farmer in Xixiaozhuang, has two daughters, one seven years old and the other five years old. They both inherited their mother's great strength, but they can also eat a lot. Li Dagui just got married and doesn't want them anymore, so he asked his son to bring them here."
"Where are the people?"
"Give it to Li Ma and Jiao Da." Jia Zhen said, "They will learn the rules and practice martial arts with Jiao Da at the same time. When their younger sister is born, they will be able to come over."
His mother kept saying it was a younger sister, so Jia Zhen gradually began to hope it was a younger sister.
There are too few girls in their family.
If the second little one was really a younger sister, they probably wouldn't fight as soon as they meet like the two uncles from Xifu.
Jia Zhen felt that he could still hug his soft sister.
"That's good!"
Shen Ning nodded, "Are you tired? Have you had lunch? If not, Youshi..."
"My son has eaten at the farm."
Jia Zhen rode back at top speed, "The food at the farm has a unique flavor." He smiled and said, "There is one dish that I think is very good. I asked someone to buy it and asked Aunt Chen to cook it for you tonight."
"What's the dish?"
Shen Ning couldn't help but laugh.
Jia Zhen likes to be extravagant and wasteful when it comes to food, and he is very picky about food.
Shen Ning couldn't help but look forward to the dish that he praised.
"Haha, you'll know tonight."
Jia Zhen was reluctant to say it right away, "Mother, do you want to go to Tianxiang Tower to enjoy the view? Come on, let your son and daughter-in-law accompany you."
He actually didn't know that Shen Ning came here not only to see the scenery, but also because she came here often in case something really happened during childbirth, so he wouldn't want to have an affair here in the future.
