Chapter 68
On the second day, Su Zheng led three disciples to Hanlin Academy to organize books and volunteer. He went into the gate at midnight. Someone laughed and said, "Mr. Su, we came earlier today."
Su Zheng also bowed and said, "Mr. Mei is so early."
When Jia Huan and Jia Cong heard this surname, he couldn't help but look up at him. He was a middle-aged uncle. He looked really good. I think his son would not be bad either. As soon as they showed up, they immediately attracted many people to come. Su Zheng guessed that it was probably because the disciples showed their faces yesterday, so he couldn't help laughing and his eyebrows were very helpful.
Jia Huan rolled his eyes a few times, and quietly pulled Jia Cong and said, "Cong'er, look at these people, they are all staring at Brother Yao'er."
Jia Cong said: "That's right. He received a lot of praise yesterday."
Jia Huan pinched his flesh and slapped him: "Look at their eyes! It's like my aunt looking at my father."
Jia Cong beat up a cold man and quickly looked up and looked around. Sure enough, no matter the middle-aged and old people around them, they looked at the young man with a smile, like a group of wolves staring at the young man, and quickly bit his ears with Jia Huan and said, "It's probably all of them have sisters and daughters, and they have a fancy to Brother Yaoer."
It turned out that Su Zheng's granddaughter was very young and had never thought about marriage. The other adults were thinking about this volunteer gathering for many days. The daughter who was waiting to marry at home discussed countless times early, and even had to check with each other about the age and character of the children and grandchildren whom the colleagues were preparing to receive. The three-day volunteering for many Hanlin families was a blind date meeting. Therefore, yesterday, most of the young men were dressed brightly, because they could not guarantee that any adult would become their father-in-law. When they went back at night, every household was talking about the various young people he saw in the Hanlin Academy. Although there were all young talents, many people regarded their young son as a candidate for a cute son-in-law.
First, the youngest son is calm and has a lot of talent and knowledge. He also worships Su Zheng, a great scholar, and has a future for a long time. Second, everyone agrees that Jia Cong and Jia Huan are his cousin. Judging from the talent of Jia Cong and his father, the youngest son's father must be not bad. Third, his uncle actually gave Su Zheng such a precious marten fur coat. From this, one can see that their family is rich, generous and kind, but the three of them are extremely simple. Fourth, the merchant family is inferior to the Shushang Party, and his two younger brothers are good. Just listen to him. If his daughter gets married, he will probably live a comfortable life.
Although Jia Cong showed his cleverness twice, no one looked at him because he was specializing in catching the tips and firing firecrackers; on the contrary, Jia Huan was young and cute, and there were a few people who were thinking about it.
Today, many people came here on the orders of their wives and mothers at home, so the four masters and apprentices were surrounded after they got started. Su Zheng didn't expect this at all and even chatted with others.
As if he noticed that others were planning to do so, Mei Hanlin winked at a colleague who was close to him. The man took the lead and pulled Su Zheng aside and asked, "Mr. Su, do you know if your disciple Jarvis has ever discussed marriage?"
Su Zheng was stunned and suddenly understood why these colleagues came over to this day, and became more and more happy. He knew that his youngest son had not yet discussed his marriage, so he pretended to be contemplative and said hypocritically: "I don't know this, I'm afraid I have to ask his father."
The man smiled and said, "Mr. Mei has a girl who is gentle and gentle. She is also very good at looking. She is just as old as Weis. He met Weis yesterday and likes him very much. I have a lot of things to do. I hope Master Su will help me ask, and the officials will also need two thank-you media money."
It would be fine if he was talking about other families; last night, Jia Cong was chatting in a carriage, which made Su Zheng mistakenly think that the Mei family is quite utilitarian, and he frowned and said, "It's just that I remember hearing his father say that it's important not to let him marry early, it's important to study with peace of mind first."
The man said, "Since the children are still young, just discuss first, and are not in a hurry to get married."
Su Zheng sighed, "To be honest, he has a brother. Because of his poor family a few years ago, he has never hired a suitable wife."
The man whispered and stamped his feet: "It seems that this matter is not appropriate for now." The brother did not discuss the marriage, but the younger brother was not inconvenient to discuss it first.
Su Zheng said: "The child is still young, and the future is long."
The man nodded, exchanged a few more greetings, and turned around to tell Mei Hanlin that he had gone. Although Mei Hanlin felt a little regretful when he heard this, he had no choice but to complain.
Later, a few people came to find Su Zheng to ask her for marriage. Because she had rejected the Mei family before, she was inconvenient to say something else, so she had to refuse them according to his brother's excuse. The old man secretly regretted that the excuse was too real.
When the young man started to make a book again, Jia Congfang realized that his three brothers were still too simple. Today, few of these young men were wearing gorgeous clothes, and they started chatting more. Yesterday, most of the friends were called old acquaintances; just look at the ones who came to find the young man to speak today, and it was obvious that they wanted to win over. But there were still no ones who were sincere in promoting talent, and there were no ones who were provoking. So he quietly said to Jia Huan: "I'll have a good sleep tonight, and I want to have fun tomorrow."
Jia Huan hurriedly asked, "What should we prepare tomorrow?"
Jia Cong shook his head and said, "We are too young, so let's live a peaceful life. My youngest brother has already been attracted by someone, so don't be too arrogant."
Jia Huan was originally an irresistible person and said, "Okay, then prepare snacks to watch the show."
Jia Cong pulled the corner of his mouth: "Brother Huan, wait, sooner or later, you will be as fat as me!"
Therefore, both of them were very peaceful today, and they should follow their youngest son obediently.
There was nothing wrong all day, and when leaving the Hanlin Academy, Jia Cong shook his head in the carriage and said, "It's so boring today, there's not even a hustle and bustle."
Seeing that they were much more honest today, Su Zheng nodded and told them about the marriage that Mei Hanlin and others asked someone to ask their son.
Jia Huan was so scared that he sat up: "Thank you, Mr., found a good excuse! If Brother Baoyu really stole their wife in the future, the two families might be very embarrassed."
Jia Cong also said: "Brother Yaoer has not discussed marriage in recent years. You are still in the abyss. It is not too late to discuss marriage when you see dragons in the field."
Su Zheng thought it was true. At this time, he was afraid that he would be dragged down by his family from the market. He was still young, so he said, "Well, why not discuss the fame and fortune in the future." With one sentence, countless matchmakers later blocked the financial paths of the later matchmakers.
Back at Rongguo Mansion, Jia Cong and Yao'er walked slowly into the yard. Yao'er said, "These two days are so chaotic that I can't check if there is any book that Mr. Lin wants. Even if I look for it, I'm afraid that the time will not be enough for a day to copy the book, so you two are still slow to write."
Jia Cong curled his lips: "Brother Yaoer is too honest. It is an excuse to copy books for one day, so you can check the catalog! Otherwise, what do you think I have so much effort to help Hanlin Academy organize the books? There are too many books~~ I can't find someone to help organize them. If you can check it yourself, let's go. At that time, each of the three of us will be responsible for checking the catalogs of several study rooms. If there is anything Sister Lin wants, copy it down, and then go to the spot to see where it is placed."
The youngest man was stunned.
Jia Cong said, "My good brother, my dear brother! Your father and my father are now from the Green Forest. If you know where to place the books, you can pick them up and copy them slowly. After copying them, you can then put them back on the dark and windy night? These books are hard to find, and I think they don't like to read them. No one will notice them if they disappear for a few days."
The young man couldn't help laughing and said, "It's hard for you to come."
Jia Cong said proudly: "Stolen books cannot be considered stealing! Besides, we are just borrowing them for a while to copy them."
After a while, the youngest man thought about it and laughed again: "We are all children from the Green Forest." He sighed, "The general is now a different person from what I saw at home in my early years."
Jia Cong smiled and said, "Everyone has a talent. He forced people to do things without regard for their talent, but he was afraid that nothing would happen. Only by following the path where talent was, would he not delay himself. My father looked bad in the past, but he was in the wrong career. He was not a good person to be a loyal minister and a filial son. Look at him now as the leader of the Green Forest, he is getting better, right?"
The youngest man was speechless. After half a day, he pointed at him and shook his head and said, "I don't know where you learned these many fallacies, so I can't refute them!"
Jia Cong smiled and went back to the house.
The next day, because they were preparing to be low-key, humble and unpretentious, they were late to go with sincerity. At the gate of the Hanlin Academy, they met an acquaintance. The old chatted with the old, and the youngest greeted each other. A group of people slowly walked in. Unexpectedly, when they entered the gate, they saw the Sixth Prince and another powerful middle-aged man standing in the courtyard and talking to everyone. They were shocked! Jia Cong grabbed the youngest man's arm and wanted to dodge him. He heard someone shouting "Master Su!" The Sixth Prince turned his head and looked over, and had a very positive meeting with their master and apprentice.
Fortunately, Jia Cong's acting skills were pretty good. He pretended not to recognize him, and just followed Su Zheng in a daze. The youngest son smiled and calmly. Su Zheng led his disciples to greet him and introduced: "Two princes, these are bad disciples." He also said to them, "These two princes are the fourth princes and the sixth prince."
Although Jia Huan participated in the plan of Hezong, he had never seen the master before and was shocked when he heard this. Jia Cong also opened his mouth wide and turned his head to see Jia Huan in surprise. Yao'er's face was not moving at all, and led the two of them forward to salute properly. Jia Cong secretly twitched the corners of his mouth. Yao'er's acting skills were still monotonous, and he could only have a poker face, but now the poker face has two kinds of smiles and no smiles.
The Sixth Prince had long recognized the youngest man as his genius young man whom he could not find, and also recognized Jia Cong. His eyes were full of smiles and he hurriedly asked Su Zheng: "Don't you know the great disciple's name?"
Su Zheng said: "The surname is Javier."
The Sixth Prince nodded repeatedly: "Wes is majestic and has extraordinary appearance. I think there must be a talent in his belly."
The youngest man bowed and said, "Students are ignorant and shall not be praised by the prince."
The Sixth Prince said again: "Looking at Weiss, he looks familiar, as if he has seen it somewhere."
The youngest man smiled and said, "The students have seen the prince, but the prince and nobles are forgot about it, and are afraid that they will not recognize the student."
The Sixth Prince hurriedly said, "Wes is not a good person, how can Gu not recognize him? Gu just said he looked familiar. Do Wes remember where we met?"
The youngest man said, "That year my father's job opened, and I was there to help. It happened that the prince once came with his friends to join in the fun and watch lion dance. I thought it was inconvenient to show off the white dragon fish suit, so I never mentioned that you are the prince."
On the day when the Taiping Escort Agency opened, the sixth prince followed Jia Zhen to find Jia She but was in a bad mood. How could he remember a boy who ran errands? Therefore, he didn't recognize him in Ningguo Mansion that day. At this moment, he remembered: "Yes, the shopkeeper called you to invite your boss..." So he immediately went to see Jia Cong. Seeing the child bowing his head to cover up his panic, he asked Su Zheng with a smile, "Where are you little disciples?"
Su Zheng introduced the two little ones again, and they quickly saluted again. At this moment, both of them felt at ease. They looked at me and I looked at you, and they were panicking, but they knew that the other party was pretending.
Su Zheng thought they were afraid and was amused. One of them was as brave as a fight, and the other was deaf and dumb. It turned out that he would still be afraid of seeing the prince. He hurriedly said, "He is young and may be a little rude. I hope the prince forgives his crime."
The sixth prince smiled and waved his hand, "Where are you who are a good person? Look at the two young masters who are born with great fortune, and I like you very much." Seeing that the youngest son stood calmly behind Su Zheng, he thought to himself that he was the son of the shopkeeper of Jia She. He heard that the Taiping Escort Agency had not had much business, but to support his personal soldiers back then, he was so coincidental that the shopkeeper of the shopkeeper was also surnamed Jia. Now he knew his name and origin, and he was not afraid of not being able to find anyone. This place was not a place for conversation, and the future was long. So he looked at the youngest son happily for a while, praised a few words, and turned to someone else.
Seeing that he finally finished greetings with the master and apprentice, the fourth prince praised him and let them go.
Leaving the two princes, Jia Huan immediately grabbed Yao'er's hand and said, "Brother Yao'er, I'm sweating!"
The youngest man smiled and said, "So too."
Jia Cong smiled and said, "Brother Huan is the least courageous, so I'm not afraid."
Jia Huan snorted, "Who knows if you are afraid?" He asked Yaoer again, "But he has discovered it now, wouldn't he come to find you?"
The youngest man said, "I think it's inevitable to meet again. Let's discuss it when I go back. The soldiers come to block the water and soil. Now I am not even a scholar, so it's natural that studying is important." He followed Su Zheng to the lobby.
The Sixth Prince accompanied the Fourth Prince to pretend to be respectful to the wise and polite people for a while, so he came to Gao Hanlin and asked him if he knew about Su Zheng's disciple.
Gao Hanlin then replied carefully about the incident in the past two days and said, "Although the little fat man was attracted by the day before, according to my opinion, the most effective one was the young man."
The Sixth Prince praised: "I also feel so."
Gao Hanlin hurriedly praised "The prince's wise eyes!" Because he explained, "The little fat man was very smart, but his temperament could not be resisted. He was suddenly extremely well-behaved yesterday, as different as the day before yesterday. I saw that Lord Su was quite spoiled by him, and probably had less restraints. Therefore, I guess it was probably Mr. Jarvis who went back to teach him in the evening."
The Sixth Prince nodded repeatedly. He also thought that the incident happened that day was because the youngest son regarded himself as a ship to sink, and ordered the child to deceive Jia Zhen. Jia Cong was the son of his father's boss, and he could be subdued by him! Sure enough, this is the subjective consciousness of a person. He first identified the youngest son as a talent in his heart, and he saw that he was stronger than ordinary people everywhere. And the children who like to pick the best always did not like the older generation. He couldn't help but turn his head and look at their whereabouts and said, "Javis is an independent person. If he wants to serve him, it's not easy."
Gao Hanlin hurriedly said: "Yesterday, many people also fell in love with him. I heard that there was still a brother in his family who had never discussed his relatives and was inconvenient to overthrow it. None of them said it was true."
The Sixth Prince waved his hand and said, "This kind of person cannot be conquered by a few decent marriages. It's all, I have my own opinions."
Gao Hanlin responded quickly.
In the lobby, it was indeed different from the previous two days. There were more and more talkative talks, and there were many people who recited poems and essays, which attracted several tables to watch the fun. Only the youngest son led his two junior brothers to divide the books, and Jia Huan was not a dim sum or a meal; some people who didn't like gossip and made a name for themselves, and they were dedicated to their work with them.
The Sixth Prince looked around and ordered Gao Hanlin, "Those who are only concerned about dividing books, neither show off their talents nor join in the fun, have all inquired quietly and write a list for me tonight."
Gao Hanlinqi said: "The children did not show their talents and learning two days ago. Everyone had long guessed that there must be some literary content today. You all understand it. Those who are afraid that most of them are incompetent, so why do the prince appreciate them?"
The Sixth Prince sighed: "After understanding, it is ultimately understanding. They were here to do a volunteer book, but now they are busy with other things. This is like violating military orders."
Gao Hanlin was startled: "The prince is serious. The original intention of this is to make the children familiar with each other."
The Sixth Prince shook his head: "No. This is done to organize books for the Hanlin Academy." He walked out because he was holding his hands behind his back.
On that day, because there were so many people stumbled on fish and the books were not completed, Su Zheng suggested that if he had time tomorrow, he would just go back. Most of the young men were willing to come back. They also sorted out the poems they wrote today, and there were as many as hundreds of them, and the capital was good. At one time, it was a beautiful story in the scholars and six or seven outstanding names in the world. Naturally, there were no young children.
The saint also received a detailed report afterwards. He was like the Sixth Prince. He ordered people to check the children who were always busy dividing the books and list them for half a day. He looked at Situ Pan and said with a smile: "Su Zheng and Lin Hai have taught three good students."
Situ Pan said: "Two are from Rongguo Mansion, and one is the son of Jia She's personal soldiers."
The saint said: "No obstacle, two concubines and one commoner."
