At night, East Mansion.
Ping Anyuan.
In the bedroom, Ping'er, who had just returned from Xixie Street, heard Feng Jie'er complaining to Jia Qiang and said: Why are you doing this?Even if it's lively, can it still break the sky?I have to keep a little bit of affection. Just watch it, the old lady must cry tonight.
Jia Qiang said lazily: You can't penetrate the sky, but it's still okay to penetrate you. If your hair is long and your knowledge is short, you don’t know how to get involved in the outside world. As expected, it was really lively and the face became brighter. When the imperial concubine in the palace was about to be in trouble. Even if I am, I will have to suffer a lot of trouble. What's the use of collecting a bunch of unused gifts in Xifu?
Feng Jie'er was about to say something, but Jia Qiang turned over and sat up, and smiled and said: Sister Ping'er is back!
Ping'er walked in bypassing the Yuke Lake and Mountain Screen, and said with a smile: What are you arguing with grandma?
Feng Jie'er was so angry that she had nowhere to say anything. Now she happened to complain: You are not your good man. The old lady has her 70th birthday and will not allow her to do it all.
Jia Qiang ignored her and pulled Ping'er to let her sit on the bed of the rosewood Chahuayue Cave.
I also picked the candle on the coral wooden screen-style lamp stand next to me to make it burn brighter.
He also helped Ping'er remove the embroidered shoes on his feet, changed into looser pairs of home fur shoes, and poured half a bowl of warm tea from a small round table with a lotus petal pattern chicken heart bowl from the small round table with a small golden silk sandalwood pattern outside the screen, and handed it to Ping'er.
Seeing that Ping'er had actually taken it to eat, Feng Jie'er was so sore that she couldn't sit still. She gritted her teeth and said: One of you two is willing to come down and dare to serve, and the other is also willing to enjoy it with thick face. I think you two are going crazy!!
Jia Qiang sneered and said: Where are the evil jealousy you have eaten?Ping'er goes to Xixixi Street to work hard before dawn every day, and does not come back until nightfall.Is she for her?Not for this home!Shouldn’t such a wife be more caring and respecting?
Feng Jie'er was furious and blurted out: What about me?
Puff!
Ping'er's heart was about to melt by Jia Qiang's service, and his eyes were full of him.
But when I heard Feng Jie'er's words, I couldn't help laughing out loud.
Jia Qiang also laughed and said: You are also a good wife!Come on, my husband will take off your shoes and socks, and bring you tea and water.
After saying that, he pressed Feng Jie'er to the bed and sat down.
Feng Jie'er's pretty face was like a burning cloud. How could she afford to struggle if she wanted to struggle?
After being removed from his shoes and socks, he took the tea in his hand, and couldn't help but bent the corner of his mouth and spat: This is almost the same!
There are no outsiders in the room, so what can’t be said openly?
Ping'er smiled angrily and said: Are you still an aunt? Do you want to have a face?
Feng Jie'er immediately got started, and Ping'er made a fuss about blocking her left and right.
Jia Qiang watched the two of them play for a while and felt pleasing to the eye. But unfortunately, he couldn't continue and said: Just make the fuss almost the same. You two are not feeling well these days. Let Jin Chuaner and Yu Chuaner prepare more hot water and soak their feet.Don’t bother with the warm tea recipe that I was looking for someone before. Ping'er is better, but the second aunt is unlucky. It will be half a lifetime when it hurts, but she is still showing off her strength and holding on.After soaking my feet and eating tea, I went back there. There was nothing serious about the West Mansion now.
After hearing his advice, although the two girls blushed, they were obedient and listened to their voices. Feng Jie'er said strangely: Are you going out?
Jia Qiang nodded and said with a smile: Didn’t you also doubt before that Aunt Zhao’s tricks have gone through a bit?
When Feng Jie'er heard this, she was shocked and said: Is there any expert behind?
Ping'er also saw it. After all, even she was moved by Aunt Zhao's performance in the previous few times.
A concubine, who colluded with a lustful Taoist nun like Ma Daopo, could even escape unscathed. With such a method, there were not many concubines in the world.
Jia Qiang nodded and said: There is a master, let’s take a look now and be with Xiao Jing.
Feng Jie'er ruthlessly said: The people who dare to play with the Duke's Mansion are colluding with people like Aunt Zhao inside and outside. If you are aware of who he is, you will arrest him first and beat him half to death!
Jia Qiang smiled and said: I don’t care, but Xiaojing thinks talent is rare and wants to see if she can take it for herself.
Feng Jie'er smiled angrily and said: Why can anyone use it? Besides, your young leader is still a woman.
Jia Qiang raised his eyebrows lightly and said: Don’t look down on women. The one who gives advice to Aunt Zhao is a woman.
After hearing this, let alone Feng Jie'er, even Ping'er couldn't sit still.
Jia Qiang smiled and said: Do you want to go and see each other?
Feng Jie'er and Ping'er nodded repeatedly, and Jia Qiang smiled.
……
On the west of Rongfu, the row under the back corridor was originally a house for the people of the Jia family to live in.
The two rooms at the west end have mottled exterior walls, but the courtyard in front of the door is neat and there is no fallen leaves and weeds.
Although the ground is soil, it is compacted and flat.
He looks like he lives a family life...
After Jia Qiang, Feng Jie'er and Ping'er got out of the car, Li Jing came out of the yard and saw that three people came. After nodding and smiling with the two, she said to Jia Qiang: He is quite calm. He was shocked at first, but when he heard that he was coming, he was not afraid.
Jia Qiang harshly and turned to Feng Jie'er and Ping'er and said: Have you seen it? What is extremely smart?
Feng Jie'er was thinking, Ping'er was a little puzzled, and Li Jing smiled and said: If you just want to punish her or kill her, why should you come forward?
Ping'er is also a smart person in Bingxue. She understood it instantly, but she said astonished: Did she figure it out in one go?
Li Jing smiled and said: This is true for talented people.
Feng Jie'er couldn't figure it out and said: Is this amazing woman willing to marry a car driver?
Li Jing shook her head and said: The Tao family and the Zhao family have some connections, but Tao Erniang, who was born in a young juren family, looked down on Aunt Zhao, who was born in the Shinu family, and Aunt Zhao always remembered it in her heart. When the Tao family's eldest son was involved in the murder lawsuit, Tao Erniang was still young and no one in the Tao family could do anything. The Tao family's master had long died. When he was desperate, in order to save his brother, Tao Erniang found Aunt Zhao. Aunt Zhao gave birth to the third girl at that time, and she was very fond of the master. She was busy looking for maids around the Western Palace to tell Zhao Guoji about marriage. Tao Erniang begged to come to the door and was hitting the knife. She remembered that Tao Erniang looked down on her and Zhao Guoji when she was young, and now she insisted that Tao Erniang, who was born as a lady, marry Zhao Guoji and call her grandma. Tao Erniang had to marry, maybe she was a little unwilling to accept her two years ago, but after giving birth to her son Zhao Dong, she accepted her fate. I haven't walked around with Aunt Zhao much over the years until Zhao Dong reached the age of school...
Feng Jie'er and Ping'er were silent when they heard this.
Not usually women...
Jia Qiang raised his eyebrows lightly and said: In other words, all the advice she did for Aunt Zhao was to let Zhao Dong join the clan?
Li Jing nodded and said: I have asked someone to check it carefully. There is no one behind it. Tao Erniang has been studying since she was a child and learns the style of a lady from a family. She will never see a man.
Jia Qiang nodded and said: Is Zhao Guoji back?
Li Jing smiled and said: If the man has not come back, so how can we come here to ruin our innocence?
These words made Feng Jie'er and Ping'er look at someone and laugh.
But when Li Jing shook her head again, he said: Zhao Guoji is also useless. After our group of people entered the house, he just squatted down and hugged his head. He was not as good as his wife. At least he knew how to protect his son.
Feng Jie'er sneered: Whenever this man is useful, Tao Erniang still uses her face to curry favor with Aunt Zhao?
When Jia Qiang heard this, he looked at Li Jing and smiled.
It is also good to have someone that can make her desperate.
After leaving, go in and take a look.
Jia Qiang took the lead and entered Zhao Guoji's house.
There were two people in the room, both of whom were good at Li Jing. Because they were two young people, Feng Jie'er and Ping'er also took a special attention.
I didn't pay attention until I saw that I looked average.
After the two met Jia Qiang, Li Jing said to her: Take Zhao Guoji out first.
The two walked to Zhao Guoji. Zhao Guoji buried his head and slowly raised it up. He looked at the people in the room with fear, and finally landed on Jia Qiang's face and knelt down, unable to say anything nervous and afraid.
Jia Qiang said lightly: Nothing big is going on, Aunt Zhao asks you to ask your son Zhao Dong to join the Jia family to study. I had nothing to do, so I came over and took a look. You are waiting outside, I will ask him a few words.
When Zhao Guoji heard this, he responded quickly, then glared at a boy only five or six years old and said: Please reply to the master, otherwise you will be able to hit your legs!
The little boy was a little thin and nodded in fear.
Looking at the woman who had already seen a little vicissitudes of life but still had bright and cold eyes, Jia Qiang suddenly felt that when he was studying the Red Mansion in his previous life, Zhao Guoji died so early, and perhaps he might not have died...
After Zhao Guoji went out, Jia Qiang first found a wooden stool. The trial was quite solid and asked Li Jing to sit down.
Li Jing hurriedly avoided her, and Ping'er smiled and said: Sister, who has a body, sit down quickly.
Feng Jie'er was too lazy to be jealous, and she looked at Li Jing's belly full of envy in her eyes...
Jia Qiang looked for two more little boys and asked Feng Jieer to sit down with Ping'er. He just stood there and smiled at the three of them: I've been lying for a day, stand.
After saying that, his eyes fell on Tao Erniang's face, and after facing the cold eyes, he sighed and said: But the parents in the world may not be right, but the mother-in-law in the world has no big problem.Tao Erniang, for the sake of Zhao Dong's entry into the clan, you got involved in the family affairs of the Duke's Mansion. According to the rules, you would be severely punished.But thinking of your kindness, it is really not easy, and... He pointed to Li Jing and said: This marquis's concubine thinks you are rare, so he decided to give you a chance.
What opportunity?
Tao Erniang's voice was a little hoarse and low, and she looked at Li Jing and asked.
Li Jing smiled and said: It is really hard to find a smart person like Erniang.People in the world, even me, are mostly ordinary people, and have no intelligence.People who are so intelligent like our master and Er Niang are rare.
Tao Erniang never dreamed that these wealthy and powerful people would come to the door and would be such a reason, and she was stunned for a moment.
Jia Qiang said lightly: The people who work under this marquis do not distinguish between men and women, but only look at their intelligence and talents.You will naturally understand this matter in the future.What I just want to tell you is that if you really have the ability to do something and have the talent to give Aunt Zhao the few ideas you gave Aunt Zhao, then even if you are not a relative of Aunt Zhao, it will be enough to send your son to the Jia family.Xiaojing has a Madam Sun who has no relatives and no reason to do so. It is because Madam Sun is resourceful and helps Xiaojing a lot, so her grandson is now studying in school.In the future, if you go to the official position after the exam, you will also help me.You are the same. You don’t need to rely on the Zhao family, you can raise your son well.Do you want to?
Tao Erniang's cold eyes showed excitement, but it quickly calmed down and asked: I am just a woman and have no knowledge, what can I do?
Seeing her like this, Jia Qiang and Li Jing looked at each other again and smiled.
As the saying goes, one person will prosper the country, and there will be another soldier and a general. It can be seen that as long as a person's talent is on a suitable platform, it will play an extremely important role.
However, it is rare for people who can promote the country and lead the generals of the yam army.
This is the reason why a thousand golds are easy to get, but it is hard to find a general.
Most of the people in the world, and the vast majority of people, are actually mediocre people.
Therefore, Jia Qiang and Li Jing reused old women like Madam Sun, and there were seven or eight talents obtained from Yangzhou salt merchants.
This group of people is indeed amazing, especially Madam Sun, who has made a great guess about the layout of the world and the people's hearts.
However, after all, they are old and lack energy.
Therefore, it is very important to search for talents who can succeed them.
Tao Erniang has no experience or insight in the world, so it doesn’t matter.
Li Jing has sufficient experience and insight in the martial arts world, but she cannot do what Madam Sun and the others do.
Because Li Jing is very skilled, it’s a pity that she is talented...
Although Tao Erniang has no foundation, she can learn and be a disciple of Madam Sun and others.
With her intelligence and talent, I think she will be able to become a teacher in a few years.
After revealing what he could say, Tao Erniang decisively agreed, but she made a request:
I want to divorce Zhao Guoji, and Zhao Dong changed his surname to Tao.
……
On the carriage on the return trip, Jia Qiang saw that Feng Jie'er was silent for a long time, and then comforted her softly: You and Tao Erniang are in a different situation. She just needs to think about her son, and you have too much more than she has to shoulder.However, if one day you want to do this, just do it, I will be there for everything.
Feng Jie'er's eyes turned red when she heard this, but she cried, and said with a self-deprecating smile: I was not thinking about this, but the women in this world were mostly just pity people who were attached to men and wanted to live. I really looked down on that. Unexpectedly, there is such a wonderful woman. She really had this courage and took her son and Xiaojing away that night.
Ping'er smiled and said: This is nothing. Tao Erniang is indeed smart, but there are a few girls at the Xixie Street Guild Hall. She is so smart that she is becoming more organized and independent. They are also very knowledgeable about literature and ink, which is very amazing. After being a gentleman for half a year, the accountants over there are now some of them.
When Feng Jie'er heard this, she was more and more shocked and said: It's strange. Why didn't she see so many capable people in the past, but now she's worthless, and she's blunt and blunt.
Ping'er smiled and said: Even if there were in the past, who dared to let them do these big things?Even if my grandmother is capable of doing things like that, she is just taking care of others at home.After all, it was my unfamiliar who gave them that opportunity.
Feng Jie'er said angrily: Your words are so sour that I want to spit on you!
Ping'er tilted her head and smiled like a flower.
Jia Qiang looked at Feng Jie'er with difficulty and said: I can arrange for you to do a good job, but... you are illiterate.
Puff!
Ping'er couldn't help but laugh.
She was not able to read, but for the past six months, she has been learning from people around her. Now she can recognize hundreds of big words. At least she can recognize books and letters on weekdays.
And she is still studying hard.
But these words annoyed Feng Jie'er and rushed to Jia Qiang and fought with her.
As a result, I was naturally cleaned up, but unfortunately I have not been able to enjoy myself these days and I am happy.
When I arrived at the second gate of Xifu, I returned to the house angrily.
Jia Qiang and Ping'er returned to the East Mansion. Because Ping'er was not helpful, she asked her to go back to the backyard to rest early.
Jia Qiang, on the moonlight, headed towards the east road courtyard.
When he arrived at a small courtyard, he pushed the door open and knocked on the door gently. The door opened. When a maid saw that it was Jia Qiang coming, he was immediately surprised and turned around and said to the other maid: Ruizhu, go and tell grandma, the marquis is here!
……
Rongguo Mansion, behind the flower hall.
Baoyu Courtyard.
The bedroom is like a girl's room, with green embroidered soft curtains hanging on the door, the walls in the room are exquisite and transparent, and the piano, sword, bottle and stove are all attached to the wall, covered with brocade gauze, golden pearls, and even the bricks stepped on the ground are green and chiseled flowers. The bed tent on the bed is also the most exquisite warm yellow gauze.
The atmosphere in the room was a little wrong. Baoyu lay on the bed and cried constantly. The maids such as Xiren, Musk Yue, Qiu Wen, Bihen looked ugly, and seemed to want to persuade him, but they didn't know where to start.
Baoyu was scolded by Jia Qiang today. After Jia Qiang left, if it weren't for Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang's stopping him, he would have been beaten to death by Jia Zheng!
Jia Zheng didn't dare to brag about it, but when it comes to protecting the women around him, he felt that Jia Qiang was not as good as he did!
What made Baoyu feel most heartbroken was that the eyes of the sisters who looked at him had clearly changed, so sad...
Bihen has always been a sharp-tongued person, but he didn't dare to scold Jia Qiang, and only cursed the culprit Qianxue and then:
How could a shameless vulgar thing have been treated like a shameless person in the past?Even if the old lady and her wife sent her out this time, she gave up money and clothes. How could she treat her badly?It's like forcing her to die!
I said I would never leave this place even if I died. What was the result?I heard that I could go to the East Mansion, but I ran away like a puppy!
Xiren advised: OK, don’t say it.It is also a good thing for people to go to a higher place and water to flow to a lower place.He also advised Baoyu: This matter has nothing to do with the Lord. The Marquis must not understand it, so he was so angry. Why should the Second Master feel wronged like this?
Baoyu raised his head, looked back at Zhu Yatou, and said: I just can't understand. What we said privately that day, how did the wife know?It's strange that there are no outsiders who are in the wind.
Xiren said: What are you taboo? If you are happy for a moment, you will not care about anyone or not. I have also winked and handed over a code, but others have already known it, but you don’t realize it.
Baoyu said: Why isn’t everyone’s wife knowing that you and the ones from Musk Moon Qiushi are just picking out?
After hearing this, Xiren moved his heart, lowered his head for half a day, and had no answer, so he smiled and said: That's right, if we also have Meng Lang's place of laughter and carelessness, why did the wife forget it?I think there is something else, and it is unknown if we will post it after we have finished.
When Baoyu heard this, he no longer thought about anything else and said heartbrokenly: If you were going together, I would rather become a monk than become a monk.
After saying that, tears came again.
……
Not far from Baoyu Courtyard is Li Wan and Jia Lan's residence.
An oil lamp lightly ignited. After washing up, Li Wan looked at Jia Lan reading and smiled and said: It's almost midnight, don't look at it.How did your elder brother teach you before?Reading and writing under the candle hurts your eyes. You concentrate on your work during the day, so you don’t have to endure hard at night.
Jia Lan said ashamed when she heard this: Mom, it’s her son’s fault. Bai Tian and Uncle Huan San were stubborn.
Li Wan smiled and said: Your eldest brother didn’t say that you went home during the holidays, just to relax. If you should, go and go.
Jia Lan said strangely: Hey, my mother used to ask her child to study hard and go to school earlier. How can she still make her son so stubborn now?
Li Wan smiled and said: Your eldest brother is right. If you don’t have a good body, you won’t be able to do anything. When you come back, you also meet your Aunt Lin?
Jia Lan nodded and said: Aunt Lin also gave me a set of pens and ink, which are all excellent.Mom, Aunt Lin doesn’t wear a jacket this year.
Jia Lan remembered that in previous years, as soon as autumn began, his aunt would wear a thin coat. After the frost fell, she should change to a thick coat.
Li Wan smiled and said: It was your elder brother who took good care of him! I watched from the side and realized that this man, Ah, really needs to have a good body to stand firm, otherwise everything will be empty.
Jia Lan suddenly laughed and said: Mom, now you believe in the words of my elder brother.
Li Wan was calm in her heart, shook her head and smiled: It’s not just her mother who believes in him, look, now, no one of the old ladies, masters, your second aunts, aunts, and others don’t believe in him? In previous years, Baoyu was like a phoenix, but he was only treated as a child. Now the eyes of the family members are all on Qiang'er, why?
Jia Lanruo realized something: Is it my elder brother that the Jia family has changed a lot, or is it a good change?He really can do it, so everyone convinced him.
Li Wan stroked Jia Lan’s forehead and chuckled softly: This is just one side, not all. Look at how he taught you Uncle Bao Er a lesson today? Do you know, what is that?
After all, Jia Lan is still young, so she said: Mom, is the eldest brother asking Uncle Bao Er not to blame others?
Li Wan smiled and said: Your eldest brother is teaching you that you can do your best and do whatever you want. The important thing is that men must be responsible and cannot let the girls around you die for him. Such men cannot be considered men or descendants of Ning Rong's second husband.
To be honest, when Li Wan heard Jia Qiang's words in Rongqing Hall today, even though Li Wan's heart was like a dead tree, she couldn't help but feel it.
It’s not that I have any thoughts about Jia Qiang, but I just simply think that having such a man in the world is a blessing for my daughter’s family!
If so, if she could find such a husband in her next life, how wonderful it would be...
Lan'er, remember to be a man like your eldest brother, who stands tall and upright!
……
Ping Anyuan.
In the bedroom, Ping'er, who had just returned from Xixie Street, heard Feng Jie'er complaining to Jia Qiang and said: Why are you doing this?Even if it's lively, can it still break the sky?I have to keep a little bit of affection. Just watch it, the old lady must cry tonight.
Jia Qiang said lazily: You can't penetrate the sky, but it's still okay to penetrate you. If your hair is long and your knowledge is short, you don’t know how to get involved in the outside world. As expected, it was really lively and the face became brighter. When the imperial concubine in the palace was about to be in trouble. Even if I am, I will have to suffer a lot of trouble. What's the use of collecting a bunch of unused gifts in Xifu?
Feng Jie'er was about to say something, but Jia Qiang turned over and sat up, and smiled and said: Sister Ping'er is back!
Ping'er walked in bypassing the Yuke Lake and Mountain Screen, and said with a smile: What are you arguing with grandma?
Feng Jie'er was so angry that she had nowhere to say anything. Now she happened to complain: You are not your good man. The old lady has her 70th birthday and will not allow her to do it all.

But when I heard Feng Jie'er's words, I couldn't help laughing out loud.
Jia Qiang also laughed and said: You are also a good wife!Come on, my husband will take off your shoes and socks, and bring you tea and water.
After saying that, he pressed Feng Jie'er to the bed and sat down.
Feng Jie'er's pretty face was like a burning cloud. How could she afford to struggle if she wanted to struggle?
After being removed from his shoes and socks, he took the tea in his hand, and couldn't help but bent the corner of his mouth and spat: This is almost the same!

It is also good to have someone that can make her desperate.

Jia Qiang took the lead and entered Zhao Guoji's house.
There were two people in the room, both of whom were good at Li Jing. Because they were two young people, Feng Jie'er and Ping'er also took a special attention.
I didn't pay attention until I saw that I looked average.
After the two met Jia Qiang, Li Jing said to her: Take Zhao Guoji out first.
The two walked to Zhao Guoji. Zhao Guoji buried his head and slowly raised it up. He looked at the people in the room with fear, and finally landed on Jia Qiang's face and knelt down, unable to say anything nervous and afraid.
Jia Qiang said lightly: Nothing big is going on, Aunt Zhao asks you to ask your son Zhao Dong to join the Jia family to study. I had nothing to do, so I came over and took a look. You are waiting outside, I will ask him a few words.
When Zhao Guoji heard this, he responded quickly, then glared at a boy only five or six years old and said: Please reply to the master, otherwise you will be able to hit your legs!
The little boy was a little thin and nodded in fear.
Looking at the woman who had already seen a little vicissitudes of life but still had bright and cold eyes, Jia Qiang suddenly felt that when he was studying the Red Mansion in his previous life, Zhao Guoji died so early, and perhaps he might not have died...
After Zhao Guoji went out, Jia Qiang first found a wooden stool. The trial was quite solid and asked Li Jing to sit down.
Li Jing hurriedly avoided her, and Ping'er smiled and said: Sister, who has a body, sit down quickly.
Feng Jie'er was too lazy to be jealous, and she looked at Li Jing's belly full of envy in her eyes...
Jia Qiang looked for two more little boys and asked Feng Jieer to sit down with Ping'er. He just stood there and smiled at the three of them: I've been lying for a day, stand.
After saying that, his eyes fell on Tao Erniang's face, and after facing the cold eyes, he sighed and said: But the parents in the world may not be right, but the mother-in-law in the world has no big problem.Tao Erniang, for the sake of Zhao Dong's entry into the clan, you got involved in the family affairs of the Duke's Mansion. According to the rules, you would be severely punished.But thinking of your kindness, it is really not easy, and... He pointed to Li Jing and said: This marquis's concubine thinks you are rare, so he decided to give you a chance.
What opportunity?
Tao Erniang's voice was a little hoarse and low, and she looked at Li Jing and asked.
Li Jing smiled and said: It is really hard to find a smart person like Erniang.People in the world, even me, are mostly ordinary people, and have no intelligence.People who are so intelligent like our master and Er Niang are rare.
Tao Erniang never dreamed that these wealthy and powerful people would come to the door and would be such a reason, and she was stunned for a moment.
Jia Qiang said lightly: The people who work under this marquis do not distinguish between men and women, but only look at their intelligence and talents.You will naturally understand this matter in the future.What I just want to tell you is that if you really have the ability to do something and have the talent to give Aunt Zhao the few ideas you gave Aunt Zhao, then even if you are not a relative of Aunt Zhao, it will be enough to send your son to the Jia family.Xiaojing has a Madam Sun who has no relatives and no reason to do so. It is because Madam Sun is resourceful and helps Xiaojing a lot, so her grandson is now studying in school.In the future, if you go to the official position after the exam, you will also help me.You are the same. You don’t need to rely on the Zhao family, you can raise your son well.Do you want to?
Tao Erniang's cold eyes showed excitement, but it quickly calmed down and asked: I am just a woman and have no knowledge, what can I do?
Seeing her like this, Jia Qiang and Li Jing looked at each other again and smiled.
As the saying goes, one person will prosper the country, and there will be another soldier and a general. It can be seen that as long as a person's talent is on a suitable platform, it will play an extremely important role.
However, it is rare for people who can promote the country and lead the generals of the yam army.
This is the reason why a thousand golds are easy to get, but it is hard to find a general.
Most of the people in the world, and the vast majority of people, are actually mediocre people.
Therefore, Jia Qiang and Li Jing reused old women like Madam Sun, and there were seven or eight talents obtained from Yangzhou salt merchants.
This group of people is indeed amazing, especially Madam Sun, who has made a great guess about the layout of the world and the people's hearts.
However, after all, they are old and lack energy.
Therefore, it is very important to search for talents who can succeed them.
Tao Erniang has no experience or insight in the world, so it doesn’t matter.
Li Jing has sufficient experience and insight in the martial arts world, but she cannot do what Madam Sun and the others do.
Because Li Jing is very skilled, it’s a pity that she is talented...
Although Tao Erniang has no foundation, she can learn and be a disciple of Madam Sun and others.
With her intelligence and talent, I think she will be able to become a teacher in a few years.
After revealing what he could say, Tao Erniang decisively agreed, but she made a request:
I want to divorce Zhao Guoji, and Zhao Dong changed his surname to Tao.
……
On the carriage on the return trip, Jia Qiang saw that Feng Jie'er was silent for a long time, and then comforted her softly: You and Tao Erniang are in a different situation. She just needs to think about her son, and you have too much more than she has to shoulder.However, if one day you want to do this, just do it, I will be there for everything.
Feng Jie'er's eyes turned red when she heard this, but she cried, and said with a self-deprecating smile: I was not thinking about this, but the women in this world were mostly just pity people who were attached to men and wanted to live. I really looked down on that. Unexpectedly, there is such a wonderful woman. She really had this courage and took her son and Xiaojing away that night.
Ping'er smiled and said: This is nothing. Tao Erniang is indeed smart, but there are a few girls at the Xixie Street Guild Hall. She is so smart that she is becoming more organized and independent. They are also very knowledgeable about literature and ink, which is very amazing. After being a gentleman for half a year, the accountants over there are now some of them.
When Feng Jie'er heard this, she was more and more shocked and said: It's strange. Why didn't she see so many capable people in the past, but now she's worthless, and she's blunt and blunt.
Ping'er smiled and said: Even if there were in the past, who dared to let them do these big things?Even if my grandmother is capable of doing things like that, she is just taking care of others at home.After all, it was my unfamiliar who gave them that opportunity.
Feng Jie'er said angrily: Your words are so sour that I want to spit on you!
Ping'er tilted her head and smiled like a flower.
Jia Qiang looked at Feng Jie'er with difficulty and said: I can arrange for you to do a good job, but... you are illiterate.
Puff!
Ping'er couldn't help but laugh.
She was not able to read, but for the past six months, she has been learning from people around her. Now she can recognize hundreds of big words. At least she can recognize books and letters on weekdays.
And she is still studying hard.
But these words annoyed Feng Jie'er and rushed to Jia Qiang and fought with her.
As a result, I was naturally cleaned up, but unfortunately I have not been able to enjoy myself these days and I am happy.
When I arrived at the second gate of Xifu, I returned to the house angrily.
Jia Qiang and Ping'er returned to the East Mansion. Because Ping'er was not helpful, she asked her to go back to the backyard to rest early.
Jia Qiang, on the moonlight, headed towards the east road courtyard.
When he arrived at a small courtyard, he pushed the door open and knocked on the door gently. The door opened. When a maid saw that it was Jia Qiang coming, he was immediately surprised and turned around and said to the other maid: Ruizhu, go and tell grandma, the marquis is here!
……
Rongguo Mansion, behind the flower hall.
Baoyu Courtyard.
The bedroom is like a girl's room, with green embroidered soft curtains hanging on the door, the walls in the room are exquisite and transparent, and the piano, sword, bottle and stove are all attached to the wall, covered with brocade gauze, golden pearls, and even the bricks stepped on the ground are green and chiseled flowers. The bed tent on the bed is also the most exquisite warm yellow gauze.
The atmosphere in the room was a little wrong. Baoyu lay on the bed and cried constantly. The maids such as Xiren, Musk Yue, Qiu Wen, Bihen looked ugly, and seemed to want to persuade him, but they didn't know where to start.
Baoyu was scolded by Jia Qiang today. After Jia Qiang left, if it weren't for Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang's stopping him, he would have been beaten to death by Jia Zheng!
Jia Zheng didn't dare to brag about it, but when it comes to protecting the women around him, he felt that Jia Qiang was not as good as he did!
What made Baoyu feel most heartbroken was that the eyes of the sisters who looked at him had clearly changed, so sad...
Bihen has always been a sharp-tongued person, but he didn't dare to scold Jia Qiang, and only cursed the culprit Qianxue and then:
How could a shameless vulgar thing have been treated like a shameless person in the past?Even if the old lady and her wife sent her out this time, she gave up money and clothes. How could she treat her badly?It's like forcing her to die!
I said I would never leave this place even if I died. What was the result?I heard that I could go to the East Mansion, but I ran away like a puppy!
Xiren advised: OK, don’t say it.It is also a good thing for people to go to a higher place and water to flow to a lower place.He also advised Baoyu: This matter has nothing to do with the Lord. The Marquis must not understand it, so he was so angry. Why should the Second Master feel wronged like this?
Baoyu raised his head, looked back at Zhu Yatou, and said: I just can't understand. What we said privately that day, how did the wife know?It's strange that there are no outsiders who are in the wind.
Xiren said: What are you taboo? If you are happy for a moment, you will not care about anyone or not. I have also winked and handed over a code, but others have already known it, but you don’t realize it.
Baoyu said: Why isn’t everyone’s wife knowing that you and the ones from Musk Moon Qiushi are just picking out?
After hearing this, Xiren moved his heart, lowered his head for half a day, and had no answer, so he smiled and said: That's right, if we also have Meng Lang's place of laughter and carelessness, why did the wife forget it?I think there is something else, and it is unknown if we will post it after we have finished.
When Baoyu heard this, he no longer thought about anything else and said heartbrokenly: If you were going together, I would rather become a monk than become a monk.
After saying that, tears came again.
……
Not far from Baoyu Courtyard is Li Wan and Jia Lan's residence.
An oil lamp lightly ignited. After washing up, Li Wan looked at Jia Lan reading and smiled and said: It's almost midnight, don't look at it.How did your elder brother teach you before?Reading and writing under the candle hurts your eyes. You concentrate on your work during the day, so you don’t have to endure hard at night.
Jia Lan said ashamed when she heard this: Mom, it’s her son’s fault. Bai Tian and Uncle Huan San were stubborn.
Li Wan smiled and said: Your eldest brother didn’t say that you went home during the holidays, just to relax. If you should, go and go.
Jia Lan said strangely: Hey, my mother used to ask her child to study hard and go to school earlier. How can she still make her son so stubborn now?
Li Wan smiled and said: Your eldest brother is right. If you don’t have a good body, you won’t be able to do anything. When you come back, you also meet your Aunt Lin?
Jia Lan nodded and said: Aunt Lin also gave me a set of pens and ink, which are all excellent.Mom, Aunt Lin doesn’t wear a jacket this year.
Jia Lan remembered that in previous years, as soon as autumn began, his aunt would wear a thin coat. After the frost fell, she should change to a thick coat.
Li Wan smiled and said: It was your elder brother who took good care of him! I watched from the side and realized that this man, Ah, really needs to have a good body to stand firm, otherwise everything will be empty.
Jia Lan suddenly laughed and said: Mom, now you believe in the words of my elder brother.
Li Wan was calm in her heart, shook her head and smiled: It’s not just her mother who believes in him, look, now, no one of the old ladies, masters, your second aunts, aunts, and others don’t believe in him? In previous years, Baoyu was like a phoenix, but he was only treated as a child. Now the eyes of the family members are all on Qiang'er, why?
Jia Lanruo realized something: Is it my elder brother that the Jia family has changed a lot, or is it a good change?He really can do it, so everyone convinced him.
Li Wan stroked Jia Lan’s forehead and chuckled softly: This is just one side, not all. Look at how he taught you Uncle Bao Er a lesson today? Do you know, what is that?
After all, Jia Lan is still young, so she said: Mom, is the eldest brother asking Uncle Bao Er not to blame others?
Li Wan smiled and said: Your eldest brother is teaching you that you can do your best and do whatever you want. The important thing is that men must be responsible and cannot let the girls around you die for him. Such men cannot be considered men or descendants of Ning Rong's second husband.
To be honest, when Li Wan heard Jia Qiang's words in Rongqing Hall today, even though Li Wan's heart was like a dead tree, she couldn't help but feel it.
It’s not that I have any thoughts about Jia Qiang, but I just simply think that having such a man in the world is a blessing for my daughter’s family!
If so, if she could find such a husband in her next life, how wonderful it would be...
Lan'er, remember to be a man like your eldest brother, who stands tall and upright!
