No one can disturb my retirement life in the Red Mansion

Chapter 613 Independence

Waiting until September, Ningrong Street was finally renovated, according to the previous design, but with some differences. Previously, Jia She chose a larger place to build a house for his younger brother and his family, and wanted Jia Zheng to stay. But after the old lady rejected it, the blocks built around Ningrong's Second Mansion before Ningrong Street are now all schools except for Ningrong's Second Mansion. This way, the design can be less broken.

Ningrong Street was originally dominated by the Ningrong Second Mansion, two large square houses, and the other places, strictly speaking, were also very regular. Since there was no need to separate a separate area, then the place for ethnic studies would naturally be Get straightened up. The teacher's residence, various classrooms, martial arts training hall, and horse farm are all available. Reasonable planning mainly saves money because demolition is the main task and subtraction is done as much as possible. The entire Ningrong Street becomes a large open school. As for the archway that had been demolished before, they did not rebuild it, but demolished it completely. The streets seem to be a little cooler.

Ou Mengmeng returned to Rong Mansion at this time and got off the car in front of Rong Mansion. She looked up and saw that the half-burned gate had been replaced. On the red lacquer gate, there were two big characters "Rong Yuan" hanging on it. All the plaques with the title "First Rank General" are gone, it's Rongyuan, that's enough.

"Can we use the word "Rong"? Ou Mengmeng thought about it and looked back at Jia She. When I mentioned Jia Mansion before, it actually included Ning Mansion and Rong Mansion. Sometimes those in Rongfu are called Ningfu and those in Ningfu are called Dongfu; Jia Rong and others are called Rongfu and also called Xifu. Now instead of displaying the title of general on the door, directly displaying the title of Rongyuan, Ou Mengmeng was a little unsure.

"When we changed the plaque before, we said that our ancestors' military achievements in the founding of the country deserved the word 'Mansion', but you didn't let it go because you were afraid of trouble for your descendants. Now that it has been rebuilt this time, Lian'er said, the world only knows Ning Rong. I don’t know who the general is, so I might as well just call him Rongyuan. My son asked Mr. Zhou from the Ministry of Rites, and they thought it was okay. Many people in Beijing also had elegant names, such as "Suiyuan" and "Yuyuan". We called it Rongyuan. It's just a name. Brother Rong also thought it was good, so he named their house "Ningyuan"." Jia She said hurriedly.

"That's okay." Ou Mengmeng nodded, holding the hands of her two sons and slowly went in. The west yard was renovated again, but she tried her best to restore the old lady's habits, but her onion garden was a little larger, so she You can plant something else. Of course, it is a little shorter than before. They feel that the old lady had to straighten her back to take care of these onions, which was too tiring. If she is shorter, she can relax a little more.

Ou Mengmeng smiled and sighed softly. She felt that she was actually more rickety, right? Sometimes when I watch some old people on TV slowly bending their waists, now that I think about it, I seem to be developing in that direction.

"You, plant it slowly. The children in the school also want to eat the onion pancakes made by the onions you grew yourself, so that they can go to school well." Jia Zheng hurriedly joined in the fun.

"Okay, no one would like to eat the green onions I grew. It's just for fun. School has started, have they gone out to play?" Ou Mengmeng didn't care. She heard Zhao Chong say in the garden that the older children in the school were rushing out to study abroad. In fact, another batch of graduates had graduated this time. They thought that since they had graduated, they could go on a graduation study tour. Anyway, they were not that old. It's not big, just go out for a walk and expand your knowledge. However, Jia She and Jia Zheng did not dare to leave the capital and were dragging their feet.

"That's right, that's right. Mother should cheer up. We are studying the route. Mother's health is getting better. We will go out again next year." Jia She said hurriedly.

"Okay, I won't die for a while, so you don't have to tease me like this. Just go and do whatever you need to do." Ou Mengmeng drove away. Now, Jia She and Jia Zheng finally have some experience of their parents traveling not far away, and they don't dare to stay away from them, for fear that something will happen and they won't be able to come back. When I think about it, I feel that I have heard a lesson from an old writer in modern times, saying that when he was young, he yearned to leave his parents, leave home, go to a big city, and realize his dream. Later, he also got old and his parents were gone. Looking back on my life, I find that the person who really stays with my parents is often the so-called ineffective child. These so-called successful people provide nothing more than a little emotional value to their parents.

Now Ou Mengmeng looks at these two. Strictly speaking, they are not the perfect cubs. However, because of them, Jia Mu's life is actually successful. Even without him, they would bite each other's backs and bleed, sometimes making Jia's mother jump with anger, but in fact they were still filial. Now I really envy Jia Mu. Her two cubs, well, so success cannot be used to define filial piety. They are very good, but I am not good enough, right?

In the evening, the Jia family held a family dinner. After all, it took several months to repair it. It was considered a new residence. The two houses were united and they did not dare to put up lights and decorations, but they also gathered together happily. The children gathered together again, like locusts, running around in groups. The adults naturally want to set up a few tables in the garden at the back so that everyone can chat together.

Zhang Zhen also arrived, but returning to Beijing this time was different from what he thought. Not long after returning to Beijing, he entered the Supervisory Yuan as censor, rising from the fifth rank. He said he was supervising hundreds of officials! Zhang Zhen was shocked. Is this suitable for me? Although he was promoted half a level, he really didn't want it. I have always loved doing practical things, but now I am doing this. What does this mean?
However, thinking about what happened in the capital, he also felt confused. The old lady kept silent about the chaos in the capital. And what he heard from the Zhang family was not accurate. Anyway, he had heard several versions. But the only thing that was the same was that the old lady was in the palace at the time, and the imperial concubine held the palace lottery to defend the imperial city. Even the role of the Supreme Emperor and Wang Ziteng were so controversial that Zhang Zhen didn't know which one was true and which one was false.

This truth or falsehood is no longer about whether the Jia family has made great achievements, but about the purpose of the new emperor placing him here. Supervisory officials, this is more offensive than Jia Xuan, and also, who is the target?

So his hair has really turned white these days. When asked about this, Zhang Shangshu said directly that this is a test, whether one's position is firm or not, one must show some results.

Asked Jia Yuan, Jia Yuan was speechless and said directly, why does the old lady like Jia Yuan and Zhao Chong? It’s just professionals doing professional things. I do what I have to do, and as for the result, that’s someone else’s.

Zhang Zhen thought about it, why did the old lady enter the imperial city? To protect the imperial city? No, she was there to protect the imperial concubine. Waiting for the imperial concubine to be fine, she apologized and left the city without taking any clouds with her. Look at the sign hanging at the door just now, Rongyuan, they don't want a mansion, a house, or a house. They only wrote the word "Garden"! This was their position and they distanced themselves from the imperial power. He also maintained his independence.

I have finished writing four thousand words today. Let’s take a rest.
