Take the farm down to earth

Chapter 144 Please enter the urn
Yu Tongfu was taken aback again, and Shi Zhongkui said with a smile, "Leave what you shouldn't do, it's not that you don't care about your own affairs, that you are friendly and alienated to your colleagues.

He was not flattering or flattering to Shangguan, and stayed in the Imperial Academy to read history books, and worked hard to study the history of the country.

After ten years of hard work, he is still better than those fellow Jinshi who have been released from the outside world.
After 30 years, a third-rank is still no problem, after all, no matter how you say it, you are still a Tanhualang.If you are lucky enough to retire as a Shangshu, it is enough to be regarded as the most promising ancestor by the descendants in the genealogy. "

When Zhang Juzheng was in the Hanlin Academy, he also read history books for five or six years, and worked hard to study the history of the dynasty.

It really made Zhang Juzheng better understand how to be an official.

But even so, Lao Zhang is not without fault.

Yu Tongfu didn't laugh and scolded, "Fuck you."

Yu Tongfu couldn't tell that Shi Zhongkui was teasing himself, but he sent Shi Zhongkui away and went back to his study to calm down and think carefully.

This suggestion is really suitable for me, and the word "boil" has indeed exhausted the first half of the Hanlin's life.

Young Hanlins suffer in the Hanlin Academy, and those who have a deep-seated heart, don’t they also suffer in the local and court halls?

Back then, Wang Anshi had been raised by Wang Anshi for many years. After all, didn't he survive?
"Hey", with a sigh, Yu Tongfu sorted out his thoughts before writing a letter to Yu Honggao.

After receiving the letter, Lao Yu sighed for a long time.

Some truths are common to modern people, but the ancients rely on their own reading, whether they can realize the truths in the books depends on the talent.

Look more at the future life experience.

Even if there are teachers who teach by precept and example, how much you can learn depends on yourself.

After finishing Yu Honggao and Yu Tongfu's father and son, Shi Zhongkui took his people to the Ministry of Industry the next day.

In addition to solving some things about dredging the river, the more important thing is to see Jia Zheng.

To be honest, dredging the river is actually not difficult for Shi Zhongkui, even very easy.

It's not as difficult as he said when he frightened Yu Tongfu before.

Where there is a lot of mud, Liu Yu'er and Chang Baiyu have already checked it out.

I have no shortage of money, food and manpower, and I have the right to be an imperial envoy. If this is still not possible, I might as well hide in the Imperial Academy to study history books.

Moreover, when dredging the river, the interests of the gentry that were damaged could be made up for by land reclamation.

To see Jia Zheng, one thing is not good, go directly to Rongguo Mansion to find Jia Baoyu.

Second, after getting the Vermilion Fruit before, I was worried that planting this kind of spiritual fruit would probably break the balance of spiritual energy in the space farm.

Even if it can be filled with the power of incense and merits collected, since Jia Baoyu's psychic jade is there, why waste incense and merits?
Three of my goals this time are directly on the psychic gem.

That piece of jade looks like a piece of good quality jade, that is to say, I have a chance to fake it.

But if you want to replace the psychic treasure jade without any future troubles, at least you have to fool the psychic treasure jade that already has spiritual intelligence.

Therefore, these days, Shi Zhongkui let Chinchilla visit jade shops and pawnshops in Gyeonggi.

Finally, I found a few pieces of jade that looked very similar to the texture of the psychic jade.

After waiting for the psychic gem to get started, in the space farm, he carved a gem with a high degree of acquaintance with his mind.

Moreover, if he wanted not to be suspected, at least he had to take Jia Baoyu out for a trip.

At that time, the piece of jade is lost, and if it is found again, basically no one will doubt it.
-
Finish the things you have to do when you come to the Ministry of Industry, and finish meeting the people you want to meet.

Only then did Shi Zhongkui come to Jia Zheng's side.

At this time, it was already the noon meal period, and ordinary officials would bring their own meals, or eat what was provided by the yamen.

But Jia Zheng is not used to eating unusual food.

Only at this time are the servants of Jia's family eligible to enter the yamen with food boxes.

And after serving Jia Zheng, he had to go to the side room specially provided by the front office for the servants and servants of the officials.

Shi Zhongkui had a thought, so he simply waited until a quarter of noon.

People at noon usually have the idea of ​​​​dozing off after eating a full meal.

Seeing a few servants leaving Jia Zheng's office with food boxes, "Well, is Mr. Zheng taking a lunch break?"

The servant next to Jia Zheng saw that Shi Zhongkui was wearing an official uniform, and hurriedly bowed to salute, "I've seen you, sir."

Hearing Shi Zhongkui called that again, he was surprised at the same time, so he dared to look up.

Seeing that it was Shi Zhongkui, they knelt on the ground excitedly, "I have seen my uncle, the master has just finished his meal and is resting."

"Who is talking outside?"

When Jia Zheng's servant heard this, he hurriedly stood outside the door and reported, "My lord, it's the second son-in-law who came to see you."

When he heard that it was Shi Zhongkui, Jia Zheng hurriedly stood up, "Quickly invite Boqian in."

Shi Zhongkui pushed open the door with a smile, bowed his hands to Jia Zheng who stood up to greet him, and said, "My nephew has seen Mr. Zheng."

Hearing that Shi Zhongkui didn't show respect to his official position, Jia Zheng immediately nodded happily, and blamed him, "Boqian has come to the yamen of the Ministry of Industry several times, but this is the first time he has come to look for me."

Shi Zhongkui heard that this was a joke, "The elder sister didn't make the concubine and the younger nephew to avoid suspicion, because she was worried that the imperial envoy would not be completed and would implicate the second uncle.

But now that the eldest sister has become a concubine, if she avoids seeing her at this time, it will appear too deliberate. It is better to come to see the second uncle openly. "

These words were actually just to fool Jia Zheng.

But after he finished listening, he suddenly realized without any doubt, "Bo Qian is still too far-fetched, you are the son-in-law of my Jia family, no matter good or bad, you and I should share weal and woe.

Shi Zhongkui who said this directly was a little ashamed, but when he thought of Jia Amnesty and Jia Zhen, that embarrassing thought was immediately thrown away.

Seeing his shyness, Jia Zheng mistakenly thought that Shi Zhongkui had listened to what he had just said.

He smiled and said, "This time I came to see the old man, but it was about dredging the river?"

Shi Zhongkui secretly lamented that Jia Zheng was indeed considered a good man, although he admired Jia Zheng a little, but he would not give up on what should be calculated.

Deliberately mentioning Xue Pan and Shi Guangzhu, "For the imperial envoy, brother Pan and Uncle Shi's uncle from Shan Guogong's mansion will help, so it's not a big problem.

And the little nephew still has some tricks to ask himself, so he came to see the second uncle because of Lang Ge'er's studies. "

Jia Zheng was taken aback, worried about Jia Lan, but at the same time thought of Shi Guangzhu and Xue Pan being appointed officials by the emperor at the same time, from the sixth rank to Xuan Delang and the seventh rank to declare that Lang was dismissed.

It is impossible to say in my heart that I am not envious.

Although scattered officials do not have any real power, they are still officials who enjoy official treatment.

Once you have made meritorious service, you have the qualifications and opportunities to become a real-time official.

And Wang Ziteng promised to help Jia Baoyu with some good errands and official positions when he got married.

If there was no comparison between these words, Jia Zheng and the Jia family would not be envious.

But a libertine like Xue Pan is now a serious seventh-rank official.

Immediately, it seemed that Shi Zhongkui was not only capable, but also more real than Wang Ziteng.

For the benefit of Xue Pan, the eldest brother-in-law, he doesn't have so much utilitarianism.

Thinking of this, Jia Zheng suddenly felt that it was necessary to deepen his relationship with Shi Zhongkui.

Maybe it could also be Jia Baoyu's background.

He hurriedly asked, "But Lan'er doesn't concentrate on studying?"

"Secretly on the contrary," Shi Zhongkui sighed, "My nephew has recently seen from Lang Ge'er's reading progress that he studies too hard, which is actually not a good thing."

Jia Zheng was suddenly surprised, "Why?"

Shi Zhongkui couldn't help sighing, he wanted to use Jia Lan to implicate Jia Baoyu, but talking to this kind of old master is troublesome.

"Lang Geer's 7 years old is indeed the time to lay the foundation, but the most important thing for him at this age is to maintain his health. Otherwise, even if he is successful in his studies, the loss of his body will not be worth the loss."

These words instantly reminded Jia Zheng of his dead eldest son, Jia Zhu.

Jia Zhu became a scholar at the age of 15, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the Jia family hopes.

It's a pity that he studied too hard and married too early, so he died of illness.

As for the reason for staying up late, whether it was reading or something else, only the Jia family knew.

This caused Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang to never dare to force Jia Baoyu to study.

It is impossible for Jia Zheng's own father to say that he has no regrets.

Seeing Jia Zheng's expression darken, Shi Zhongkui immediately knew that his plan had come true.

Pretentiously persuaded, "Second uncle, based on my nephew's observations during this period, Lang Geer is well-behaved, sensible and studious, and he is indeed the seed of reading.

Three to five years later, it is still no problem to be a scholar.

Ten years later, it will not be difficult to pass the exam, and Lang Geer will only be 17 years old by then, so the second uncle must not overthrow it. "

"Bo Qian didn't deceive the old man with his words?"

Looking at Jia Zheng who was overwhelmed with surprise, Shi Zhongkui laughed, "My nephew can't guarantee anything else, but my nephew still has some knowledge and experience in matters of career."

Jia Zheng patted himself on the forehead, "Nephew is the leader of Liuyuan, and among all the scholars in the world, no one knows career better than you."

"Don't dare, dare not", Shi Zhongkui hurriedly became polite.

Then Jia Zheng really thought of Jia Baoyu.

Comparing with Jia Lan, who was praised by Shi Zhongkui, Jia Zheng suddenly felt that Jia Baoyu was a waste.

But thinking so, he couldn't help thinking about letting Jia Baoyu study with Shi Zhongkui.

Even if Baoyu doesn't want to study the Four Books and Five Classics, it's better to spend more time with Shi Zhongkui than to let him stay with his daughters all day long.

What's more, if you get Shi Zhongkui's favor and ask the emperor for a loose official to do it for Baoyu, even if there is no hope for the imperial examination in the future, it is better to have an official status than to be a white man.

"Lan'er's matter, after I go back, I will explain to Lan'er's mother and his grandmother that they are only allowed to study for 3 hours a day. Boqian will see if it is possible?"

Shi Zhongkui nodded, and thought for a few seconds that since he was Jia Lan's teacher, this kid really knows how to make progress, so he should teach him some boxing and kicking skills for health and fitness.

Although Tai Chi and Wing Chun in modern society are no longer battlefield fighting skills, it is still no problem to practice them for ten or eight years to strengthen the body and deal with a few ordinary people.

"Second uncle, young nephew can not only read books, but also teach Lan Ge'er a lot of ways to keep fit.

When he becomes an adult, he won't be just a weak scholar with no power to restrain himself.And take my nephew as an example, he has a strong body, which is good for reading."

Jia Zheng had heard from Jia Lian and Xue Pan a long time ago that Shi Zhongkui smashed the solid wooden table with his palm.

Of course, if other people said these things more to him, Jia Zheng would definitely say that the other party misunderstood his son, but Shi Zhongkui was the leader of the six yuan, and no one in the whole world could compare with him in the imperial examination.

At this time, when Shi Zhongkui was compared with himself, there was no thought of refusing.

But it doesn't matter whether Jia Baoyu practices martial arts or not, the key is to be able to get in touch with Shi Zhongkui from time to time.

In addition, Shi Zhongkui had always treated Jia Baoyu differently before, which made Jia Zheng mistakenly think that he really thought Jia Baoyu was smart.

A little embarrassed, he asked, "Can my nephew teach you, Brother Bao, too?"

"One is to teach, and the other two are also to teach, and Baoyu is smart, my nephew really likes to be close to him."

After Shi Zhongkui finished speaking, his expression changed, and he said with some embarrassment, "It's just that Baoyu is a flirtatious young man, so it's not good to sweat profusely every day.

And if there is a cold, my nephew can't afford it. "

"Where is this?" Jia Zheng never expected Jia Baoyu to practice martial arts.

And thinking about Baoyu's so many servants and maids, if he can't take good care of his master, then what's the use of these people?

Besides, Shi Boqian is Baoyutang's brother-in-law, so he will definitely take good care of him.

"That's the decision. From now on, on the first, fifth and twentieth day of every month, let Baoyu and Lan'er go to the nephew's home to test their studies together. Even if these two children can't study and become talented, they can keep fit, and being an uncle is worthy of their ancestors gone."

Shi Zhongkui understood what Jia Zheng meant by being worthy of his ancestors, and hoped that Jia Baoyu and Jia Lan would grow up safely.

Only in this way can we get married and have more children.

There are many children and grandchildren, and to a large extent, it is true that they are more motivated than studying, and they are more favored by the elders.

After all, if the son does not live up to expectations, it seems that he can put his hopes on his grandson.

"Second Uncle, please don't worry. Since Baoyu and Lan Geer are my nephew's cousins ​​and nephews, how dare they not be dedicated."

After finishing speaking, under Jia Zheng's unbelievable eyes, he picked up the lid on the tea bowl, clasped his hands together, and used his palms to grind the tea lid into fine powder after only a dozen strokes.

"This this,,,."

While Jia Zheng was astonished, he became more convinced of Shi Zhongkui.

Even the two ancestors of the Jia family have never heard of them being able to do this.

He sighed and said, "My nephew is really a god!"

At this time, Shi Zhongkui finally explained why Jia Lian was placed under house arrest by his side.

Hearing about the [-] mu of newly reclaimed farmland, even Shi Zhongkui himself was unable to leave a single mu of land.

Moreover, those lands were all divided up by princes, princesses, and officials above the third rank, and the dissatisfaction in Jia Zheng's heart disappeared immediately.

Instead, he opened his mouth to comfort Shi Zhongkui.
-
When Jia Zheng returned home, he went to Jia's mother's house immediately.

Seeing that Mrs. Wang, Li Wan, and Jia Baoyu were all there, Jia Zheng waved his hand and did not let Mrs. Wang, Sanchun, Lin Daiyu and other female relatives leave.

Instead, people called Jia Amnesty, Jia Lian and Jia Lan over.

Then, in a somewhat excited tone, he told the story about Shi Zhongkui grinding the tea cover with his palm.

Jiamu and the others listened with astonishment and surprise on their faces, and only then did they say Shi Zhongkui's praise and worry for Jia Lan.

Li Wan quickly knelt down on the ground, "The old lady, the master, the madam redeemed her sins, the daughter-in-law is stupid, she almost hurt Lan'er."

Before Jia Zheng could speak, Mother Jia spoke first, "You are a housewife, how do you know about career matters, since my uncle praises Lan'er, it means you have meritorious service."
