Jia Qiang's Ordinary Life

Chapter 7 Baoyu is Born

The Xu family is also a big family, and the population is quite prosperous.This time, Xu Siqi and Xu Sixian went to Beijing together to earn a good future for their children.Xu Siqi has two daughters and one son. Both daughters are married, and his son Xu Haoming has already won the exam. Although his ranking is not high, at least his status is different. Now he plans to study hard for another year and participate in the next year's Qiu Wei.Xu Haoming got married in his hometown and gave birth to a son named Xu Pingchao, who was two years older than Jia Qiang.And Xu Sixian also has two sons, one Xu Haoan and the other Xu Haoning. The age difference between the two is only a few months. Now they just go to Guozijian to study together.The two brothers got married not long ago, but Xu Hao'an's wife has just been diagnosed with pregnancy.Xu Pingchao is still a young lady. Hearing from his grandfather that this cousin, who is younger than him, is studying the fourth book, he is quite unconvinced, but the temper of a child comes and goes quickly, and Xu Pingchao is usually not about the same age. His playmate, the two of them played together for a while, and they became like brothers.

In the afternoon, when Mrs. Xu was going to take Jia Qiang back, Xu Pingchao was quite anxious: "Cousin Qiang, come to my house to play when you have time!"

Jia Qiang also said: "If you have time, you can come to Ningguo Mansion to play with me!"

The adults couldn't help laughing, Xu Siqi twitched his beard and smiled and said: "Pingchao, in two days, grandpa will find a husband for you two brothers, and the two of you will study together, okay?"

Xu Pingchao nodded repeatedly, and looked at Xu Siqi eagerly: "Then, Grandpa, you have to hurry up!"

Several adults laughed out loud.

On the way back, Mrs. Xu looked at Jia Qiang lovingly while sitting in the carriage, and said, "Both your uncles and grandpas came from serious Jinshi backgrounds, and they are both very knowledgeable. Even if you worship other gentlemen, what's the matter?" If you don’t understand, you can ask for advice! There are also your cousins, although they are not very old, but they have already written articles for several years, so you can also get close to them! Big brother Jia Zhu, no matter how good-for-nothing you are, don’t hang out with a bastard like your big brother Rong, study hard and take the imperial examination is the right way!”

"Well, madam, Qiang'er understands!" Jia Qiang nodded.

Second Master Xu and Third Master Xu really kept their promises, and within a few days, they found husbands for the two children.That gentleman's surname is Sun, his name is taboo, and his name is Zhongping. Only those with the best looks can be selected as Tanhua, and this second place is a bit embarrassing.Mr. Sun Wenli's essays were the best in his year. Even if he was the number one scholar back then, he cannot say that his essays are really better than Mr. Sun's. Mr. Sun has a cousin who was the emperor's favorite concubine. In order to show that he would never give up reason because of circumstances, Mr. Sun could not be the number one, but had to be the second.When the first emperor was alive, as a relative, Mr. Sun took a idle position in the Imperial Academy in order to avoid suspicion. Later, when he came to the throne today, the so-called emperor and courtiers, he wanted to use his own staff again. Therefore, Mr. Sun It's just that he was transferred from the Hanlin Academy to the Ministry of Rites to be a third-rank servant. In order not to waste his talent and learning, he also got a name in the Imperial College, and occasionally went to the Imperial College to give lectures to the students of the Imperial College.After such a long time, Mr. Sun's original ambition to serve the country has almost worn out, and now he is concentrating on his studies. The Sun family and the Xu family are also family friends. Bring it over for a test.Although it is said that the teacher should be tested first, in fact, most of them have already agreed.

Whether it is Jia Qiang or Xu Pingchao, they have already completed the task of enlightenment when they were at home, and their qualifications for studying are not bad. Mr. Sun Wenli asked the two of them to memorize a few poems, and then asked them to write a few words , then nodded, and accepted these two students.

So, on the second day, Jia Qiang and Xu Pingchao each offered Shu Xiu, offered tea to Mr. Sun, and kowtowed, they were regarded as Mr. Sun's disciples.

Mrs. Xu privately felt that Mr. Sun had little strength in the court, but she heard from her two elder brothers that although Mr. Sun was not valued by the sages, his knowledge was rare. People want their children to worship under the name of Mr. Sun, but Mr. Sun has never agreed.Speaking of this, Xu Sixian sighed, this time Xu Pingchao's apprenticeship was probably due to Jia Qiang, but he was incidental.

I have already worshiped as a teacher. After all, Mr. Sun is still an official of the imperial court. He is not at home, but he will give a lecture every afternoon, and then assign the homework and hand it over to Mr. Sun for comment the next day.They still have to read the Four Books and Five Classics, explain and interpret the articles in them, learn to solve the problems, and lay the foundation for writing stereotyped essays.

Every day, Jia Qiang chanted Ziyue, Shiyun, trying to memorize the Four Books and Five Classics thoroughly, and at the same time practiced calligraphy under the guidance of Mr. Sun. According to Mr. Sun, Jia Qiang’s character structure already exists, but It is still a bit stiff and rigid, and it lacks vitality. It needs more practice.

When Jia Qiang learned "The Doctrine of the Mean" and "University", Mrs. Wang of the Rongguo Mansion gave birth to a son. When he fell into the grass, he was still holding a piece of psychic jade in his mouth. The writing on it was faint, which made people wonder.The child was born in the jade family, so he was simply named Baoyu. Because the child was born in summer, he suffered from heatstroke, and his body was a little weak. The old lady even ordered him to write his name on a piece of paper and post it everywhere. Order the trafficker to read it, and ask the maids and servants at home to call his name directly, so as not to ruin the child's blessing.The entire Rongguo Mansion was attracted by this extraordinary child.

Mrs. Wang was very proud. This child of extraordinary background was born by herself. Seeing the appearance of the old lady, Baoyu was regarded as a pity in her heart. The son is still a concubine, and the elder is worthless, so it can't be said that this Rongguo Mansion is still her own Zhuer's. Thinking of her pride, Mrs. Wang almost woke up from her sleep with laughter.

However, Mrs. Wang still couldn't really wake up with a smile in the end.She was just out of confinement, and while looking at her pink and cute little son who is like a Guanyin sitting down and descending to the earth, she is vigorously controlling the power of the housekeeper, and seeing Mrs. Xing's sour appearance, she is very proud. However, the so-called blessing is unparalleled , Soon, there will be something blocking my mind!

"Ma'am!" Zhou Rui's family hurried over, "That bitch in the west room is pregnant!"

Mrs. Wang was taken aback for a moment, and then she realized that the house on the west side was Jia Zheng's housemate. After Mrs. Wang entered the door, she rectified and kicked out those dishonest ones, those who sold them, and even those who sold them. , and gave away a pregnant Tongfang to a bowl of safflower soup. The old lady couldn't see it. First, she turned the Tongfang into an aunt, and then deliberately taught Mrs. Wang to eat a vegetarian meal in the Buddhist hall for a month. , counted a large bag of buddha beans before releasing her, and Mrs. Wang dared not do any small tricks from then on.Now there is a housemate named Yun Hui who lives in the west. Her maiden name is Zhao, she is pretty and charming. Jia Zheng likes her very much. She spends half of the year at Yun Hui's place. If it weren't for Mrs. Wang It's hard to see, she already has a child, but who knows, that bitch actually seduced the master while she was in confinement, and got pregnant.

"Does anyone else know about this?" Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth and asked awkwardly.

Zhou Rui's family sighed: "Ma'am, that bitch passed out in front of the master. This time I invited a doctor and found out that I was pregnant. Almost everyone in the house knew about it. How can I hide it!"

Mrs. Wang twisted the veil silently, and finally said: "It is also the blessing of the master and me, let's go, go and tell the old lady, so that she will be happy too! Yun Hui has served the master for so many years, so she should lift it up." It's here!"

Zhou Rui's family was stunned: "Madam?"

Mrs. Wang snorted coldly: "Master has always liked her. If I really make things difficult, someone will immediately say that I am jealous and can't tolerate others! What happened to Aunt Zhou back then..." Heartbroken, Mrs. Wang clenched her molars, and Yun Hui you bitch, if you are lucky enough to give birth to this child and live, just wait and see!
