Jia Dairu had a pitiful life experience. He lost his father in his early years and his son in his middle age. It would be too tragic if he lost his grandson in his later years and ended up alone and died without a family.
As the saying goes, "It is not a gentleman to repay kindness, and it is a villain to know the kindness but not to repay it." If you don't look at the face of the monk and the face of the Buddha, Jia Dairu has a teacher who taught you his karma and solved his doubts, so he should know that he will repay the kindness and save him.
His only grandson Jia Rui.
However, according to the timeline of the original work, Jia Rui's teasing with Wang Xifeng happened five or six years later, so there is no rush to save Jia Rui for the time being.
However, when Jia Dairu saw Jia Rui, his face suddenly became sad.
Jia Chen naturally knew why Jia Dairu was so sad.
Normally, if something happens to Jia Dairu, he will order Jia Rui to manage the affairs of the school. However, Jia Rui is a person who likes to take advantage and has no bottom line. He often uses public affairs for personal gain in the school, blackmailing students to treat him to food and drinks.
Moreover, he was ignorant and had no skills, which made Jia Dairu anxious, but there was nothing he could do.
Jia Dairu looked at Jia Rui, sighed and ordered:
"From now on, Chen'er will come to our house to study after school every day. You must entertain her well and don't neglect her."
Jia Rui was slightly startled. Grandpa had never brought any student home. What happened to him today?
He hadn't been to Jia's school in the past two days, and he didn't know that Jia Chen was so brilliant in the school that his skills astonished everyone, making his grandpa admire him with admiration and regard him as a treasure.
Although he was very puzzled as to why Jia Chen, a descendant of a collateral line, was treated with such courtesy, Jia Rui was afraid of being beaten by his grandfather since he was a child, so he did not dare to ask, but only agreed.
Jia Dairu explained to Jia Chen the examination methods of test poems, poems, poems, policies, theories, sexual theory, and holy edicts, and asked Jia Chen to try to write a test poem.
Test post poems are also called "Fu Deti", which are named after the word "Fu De" is often preceded by the title. Most of them are arranged in five characters, six rhymes or eight rhymes, and are influenced by "Tie Jing" and "Shi Tie"
.
In his previous life, Jia Chen had read a collection of test poems, and all the test poems in it were printed in his mind verbatim.
Under Jia Dairu's expectant gaze, Jia Chen calmly spread out a piece of Xuelang paper, then dipped his pen in ink and wrote a test poem:
"Yinyin Xiamu warbles oriole"
There are thousands of trees in the long summer, and there are hundreds of warblers in the thick shade,
The double breasts are yellow like embroidery, and the green band is like a curtain.
The dark leaves linger for a long time, the branches are high and the sound is late,
The wind is blowing at the tip of my tongue, and the rain is falling outside my body.
Sitting on the clouds covering the mica, singing can compete with the snow,
It’s hard to stop listening to good music, and I don’t know the scorching scenery.
Yangliu Sanyi Road, Cherry in April,
The quiet feelings are so annoying that I write poems in paintings."
When Jia Chen finished writing the last stroke, Jia Dairu stared at the poem with his mouth open, motionless, like a stone sculpture.
After a while, he came back to his senses and exclaimed:
"This poem is really amazing! The first couplet "breaks the title", the second couplet "carries the title", the third couplet "starts the shares", the fourth and fifth couplets "the middle shares", the sixth and seventh couplets "the back shares", and the final couplet "ends the shares"
"It's all very accurate, with smooth contrast, neat rhymes, every word is precise and catchy, it's really a good poem!"
Jia Chen smiled modestly and said:
"Sir, you are overly complimentary."
Jia Dairu smiled and said:
"Chen'er, don't be too modest. If your poem is used in the county examination, the single-round test poem is enough to reach the top and rank first in the county.
Of course, the county examination does not only test the 'test poems', if you want to come out on top and become the county's chief case officer, you also need to be among the best in several other examinations."
Jia Chen said: "To follow Mr.'s teachings, students must work hard and study hard."
"Okay, you are ambitious! You are indeed my most proud disciple." Jia Dairu nodded with satisfaction:
"It's getting late. You should go back early and rest until you come back tomorrow."
Jia Chen took out the written "Disciple Rules" from his pocket, handed it to Jia Dairu, and said with a smile:
"Sir, this is the book I wrote last night. Please review it and correct it."
"What did you say? You wrote a book?" Jia Dairu thought he had heard wrongly, so he quickly took the "Disciple Rules" and opened it to browse.
Since the "Disciple Rules" only has more than a thousand words, Jia Dairu read it quickly.
After closing the book, Jia Dairu breathed heavily, his chest heaved, and he could not calm down for a long time.
After a while, he took a deep breath and asked doubtfully:
"Chen'er, was this book really written by you?"
"Yes," Jia Chen responded calmly.
Jia Dairu exclaimed:
"You, a nine-year-old child, can actually write such an exquisite book. You are truly a genius!"
Jia Chen said modestly: "Students are not worthy of this."
Jia Dairu smiled and said:
"You are definitely worthy of being called a genius. The language of your "Disciple Rules" is fluent, with three words to one sentence and two sentences to one rhyme. It is easy to understand and catchy. It is very suitable as an enlightening book for children."
Jia Chen smiled and said: "It's a pity that the student's family is poor and he has no capital to print it into a book and no channel to sell it to the outside world."
Jia Dairu waved his hand nonchalantly and comforted:
"Don't worry, Chen'er. I'll take you to see Mr. Zheng. He favors you very much. If he sees your classic Mongolian book, he will definitely give money from the Jia family to help you accomplish this."
Jia Chen's eyes lit up. His plan was to recommend "Disciple Regulations" to Jia Zheng through Jia Dairu, and then use the Jia family's strong financial resources to print and distribute the book to earn money.
Now, the first step of the plan has been successfully implemented.
Jia Dairu looked out the window and said with some regret:
"It's getting late today. I guess Mr. Zheng may have gone to bed at this hour. Come to my house early tomorrow morning and I'll take you to see him."
"Okay, thank you sir!"
It seems that Jia Dairu attaches great importance to this "Disciple Regulations" and will not even go to Jia's school tomorrow to recommend this book to Jia Zheng.
You know, since Jia Dairu took over the Jia Mansion School, he has been the first to arrive at the school every morning, unshakable, rain or shine.
However, this time, an exception was made for Jia Chen, which shows that he attaches great importance to this "Disciple Rules".
Jia Chen said goodbye to Jia Dairu, went home and had a good sleep. The next morning, at dawn, he came to Jia Dairu's house.
Jia Dairu led Jia Chen and hurried into Rongguo Mansion.
At this time, Jia Zheng had also gotten up, carrying a bird cage and teasing the birds in the garden in front of Rongxi Hall.
A boy ran over and reported that Jia Dairu and Jia Chen came to see him.
Jia Zheng hurriedly hid the bird cage among the flowers and urged:
"Master Xueli and Chen'er are both distinguished guests, please invite me soon!"
He hid the bird cage because he was afraid that when Jia Dairu and Jia Chen saw it, they would think that he was playing with things and was not doing his job properly.
He has always maintained the serious image of a modest gentleman and an elegant Confucian scholar in front of others. In fact, behind the scenes, he is lazy, idle, and a fighting dog. He is no different from those arrogant and extravagant playboys.
After a while, the boy led Jia Daishan and Jia Chen closer.
Jia Zheng said politely:
"I've met Master Xueli!"
As a junior, Jia Chen also saluted: "My nephew has met my second uncle."
Jia Dairu smiled smugly and said, "Master Zheng, I have a big happy event to tell you."
