Chapter Nine, does the gentleman have a grudge against the Jia family

How to say?

In response to this, Jia Cong treated it as mere background noise, fulfilling his 'filial duty' before slipping away to visit Lady Xing for a meal, and only after dining did he leisurely return to his small courtyard where he resided

Previously, Jia Huan, being young, simply lacked awareness in this regard, which led him to become a victim of campus violence

Some events, although their probability of occurrence is extremely low, must still be guarded against

The circle of servants within the residence is intricately intertwined, and the wet nurse, Li, is a cousin of the wet nurse of the phoenix egg, Jia Baoyu. Such 'explosive' news is likely to be whispered about in private.

There is no other intention; if the prominent figures in the household were to hear of this, it would be best if they could step forward to rectify the clan's educational matters. After all, he is currently a member of the Jia clan, and the abundance of talent within the clan would certainly be beneficial to him.

Even if Mrs. Wang, the second wife, has any thoughts, it is not appropriate for her to present them openly and straightforwardly

Not to mention the others, the movements of this mischievous child, Jia Huan, are certainly under the watchful eyes of certain individuals with ulterior motives. It is not the gossip that is worrisome, but rather the fear that some individuals may conspire with unscrupulous characters.

When Jia Congfei made a decisive move to establish his authority and successfully became the new leader of the clan academy, he could not help but lament that the younger generation of the clan had lost their vigor

Joking, playing on the street on the first day of school, who knows what might happen

This is a family study; regardless of whether you wish to make progress or not, do not disturb your classmates around you, otherwise I will address it each time I witness it

For their own interests, completely disregarding the future of the Jia clan

Even if it has little effect, it does not matter; at least it allows him to perceive certain thoughts and intentions of the influential figures in the court, making it much easier to deal with them in the future

Jia Cong, while idly flipping through the "Three Character Classic," couldn't help but think, with a hint of malice, that Jia Daoru was indeed a ruthless person.

There are no direct descendants of the Fuzhong and Ning families in the academy, my status alongside Huan Laosan is the highest, who would dare to provoke us

The descendants of the Jia family in the study of clan culture are no exception, among them are not a few boys aged around fourteen or fifteen, who, intimidated by Jia Cong's lewdness and authority, do not dare to utter a single word more.

"Young Master San, was your journey to school smooth today"

Have you not seen that in modern schools, there are many examples of those who come from families with some wealth and influence, and even if their temperament is mild, few dare to provoke them easily

Despite his own lack of ability, Mingming insists on holding onto the position of the clan's scholar, blinded by the abundant benefits it brings

Upon seeing the new student Jia Cong sitting in the middle position, he did not say much, merely nodded and began the exceedingly dull lecture.

In the absence of the esteemed Jia Baoyu of Rongguo House, as well as the legitimate heirs Jia Rong and Jia Qiang of Ningguo House, the brothers Jia Cong and Jia Huan undoubtedly stand as the core of the clan's scholarly pursuits

Even though he is getting older and lacks energy, there is not the slightest intention to invite outside scholars to help share the burden. This seems to be a plan to completely ruin the descendants of the Jia family in the capital, as well as the affiliated students.

Jia Cong said with a smile, "My most important task at the moment is to memorize the Three Character Classic in its entirety"

He certainly wouldn't speak carelessly outside, but one cannot be so sure about Li Ma

As the clan scholar supervisor, Jia Rui, besides being the biological grandson of Master Jia Dairu, is already an adult, yet he lacks even the courage to meet Jia Cong's gaze

As soon as the time arrived, without saying a word, he packed up the paper, ink, brush, and inkstone and left, naturally accompanied by his newly recruited junior, Jia Huan

Jia Cong was at a loss for words for a while; if such a situation could truly cultivate seeds of learning, how extraordinary a talent that would be

Although Jia Dairu conducts assessments of students' academic performance across different age groups in batches, with varying instructional content, this teaching model, which is found only in the most remote and impoverished rural primary schools in modern times, is predictably inefficient

Jia Cong expressed all that he had seen, heard, and thought in the study of his clan, and finally shook his head, saying: "It is only because of the high status of his uncle's generation, and that he is the only scholar of the same generation as my grandfather, otherwise I would truly suspect that he has a grudge against the Jia family"

It truly misleads the younger generation

The key point is that there are still rural primary schools with such teaching models in modern times, where classroom discipline is exemplary. What can the Jia clan's education compare to this

Li was taken aback, his expression changing dramatically. He tugged at his sides and leaned in to whisper, "Such words should never be spoken outside!"

Not long after having just attended a class for less than an hour, I felt utterly exhausted and decided to let the students study on their own. I entrusted the task of supervision to my own grandson and turned to leave the classroom.

Li was somewhat surprised and also curious, asking about the reason behind it.

On this day, the Jia family was rarely at peace, and when the somewhat aged Jia Dairu entered, he still seemed somewhat unaccustomed to it

The provoked young men are not truly foolish; once Jia Cong and Jia Huan adopt an air of superiority, they genuinely do not dare to act recklessly

Rejected this kid's unreliable suggestion to go out and play, instructed Zhao Guoji to drive the carriage back to the residence, not giving this mischievous child Jia Huan a chance to sneak away

All that needed to be said has been said; as for whether the students in the field of ethnic studies listen or not, that is no longer his concern

Watching Li Ma leave with a sigh of relief, he smiled with an unusual sense of leisure

As he strolled in the yard to aid digestion, Jia Cong remarked nonchalantly, "The atmosphere of the clan school is rather poor; it does not seem like a place for studying at all"

The descendants of the Jia family have fallen into decline

In other words, he is here to maintain order; the noise in the classroom is not too loud, which at least allows students who are willing to learn to study peacefully on their own, otherwise it is hard to imagine how chaotic it would be.

If Jia Cong and Jia Huan were to make a scene, at most they would just receive a beating. However, those clan youths or affiliated students who dare to cause trouble or even resort to violence would have to leave. Such risks are not something the young ones in the clan school can afford to bear

Of course, there are also a few individuals who seem to be deep in thought; these are rare thoughtful people in the study of the clan. Jia Cong instantly committed their appearances to memory.

Indeed, the reason for mentioning these matters to Li Ma is intentional, as I wish to use her to disseminate the information.

In the entire Jia family clan, there was only one teacher, Jia Dairu, who did not divide students into classes based on their age and learning progress, but instead taught them together in a mixed manner.

Casting a casual glance over all the students, most wore expressions of indifference; it was evident that the Jia family descendants had already decayed to the core

I know this, it's just that I mention it in front of Li Ma

To be a leader in the clan, one must adhere to the rules of a leader. Standing in front of the teacher's dedicated desk, Jia Cong warned sternly: "Opportunities to read and learn for free are hard to come by. Among those present, apart from a few with decent family backgrounds, the rest will have to seek a living outside once they reach adulthood. Without some skills, how can one compete with others?"

Of course, this is also related to his statement, "Those who do not wish to mix in the clan studies can give it a try," after all, his identity is what it is

To elaborate further, the unfortunate student who was kicked over by Jia Cong is none other than Jin Rong, a character who made an appearance in "Dream of the Red Chamber" and later became associated with Xue Pan, a ruffian.

Nurse Li inquired with great concern: "Is there anyone who is looking for trouble without any sense?"

First, he went to the main courtyard of the First-Class General's residence to pay his respects to the esteemed elder, Jia She. As a result, he was naturally not even allowed to enter the door and was met with a few scoldings of "little brat, you are alive"
