Chapter 160 Volume B A good person may not necessarily be a qualified person

  Jia Baoyu met Feng Ziying at the corner gate of the mansion.

  His mood and expression are very complicated, it is difficult to sum it up in a word.

   During the past month or so, it has been a kind of torment for him, so much so that even the obstinate thoughts of going to Sister Lin's place have faded a lot.

  Master has told his ancestors that he has no choice but to let him study.

   It is said that the master and the ancestor argued for a long time in the ancestor's room. According to Sister Yuanyang, she never had such a thing after being with the ancestor for so many years.

  The master served his mother very filially. Jia Baoyu had never seen his father disobeying his grandmother's wishes, but this time it seemed that the master did not back down, but his grandmother did.

   This made Jia Baoyu feel desperate.

   Later, a dispute broke out between the father and mother. It is said that the mother wiped tears in the house for two days, but failed to change the father's decision.

  The reason why my father is so firm this time is said to have a lot to do with the high-spirited Feng Dalang in front of him.

  My mother also revealed in her words that my uncle admired Feng Ziying very much, and there was a lot of admiration in her words. It must be that my uncle and my father said something that made my father make up his mind.

   This made Jia Baoyu feel a little resentful towards his uncle. Your own son can't study, so why do you think you can?

  Feng Ziying didn't feel so much about Jia Baoyu's expression and mood beside him. At this time, he was even more interested in admiring the magnificence of the Rongxi Hall of Jia's family.

The five main rooms are lined up, and the side rooms on both sides are deer-roofed and the ear rooms are drilled into the mountains. The three big characters "Rongxi Hall" on the red gold plaque are extraordinarily magnificent, and the name is "Wanji Chenhan Zhibao". Feng Ziying knew that this should be Guangyuan Emperor's calligraphy.

   As expected of the Duke’s mansion, this luxurious style is really unmatched by others. Feng Ziying has never been to other residences of the Four Kings and Eight Dukes, but it is estimated that even the residence of the Four Kings is not much better than this Rong Guogong’s mansion.

  With 60 to 70 years of accumulation, under the deliberate management, this Rongxi Hall is really a treasure. No wonder Jia Zhengwan met him here, and he probably had some publicity in mind.

   "The pearls on the seat illuminate the sun and the moon, and the front of the hall is full of haze." Feng Ziying softly recited the couplets on both sides, and then looked at the handwriting of Dongping County King Mu Shi, and sneered in her heart.

The Duke of Dongping's family is really a restless master. No wonder the father dislikes the Prince of Dongping so much. I didn't expect that the relationship between this family and Jia's family is so irresistible. It seems that this is the real family friend, Feng This family friend really doesn't count.

   "Brother Feng, this way." Jia Baoyu led the way.

   "Okay." Feng Ziying stepped up to follow behind, "Brother Bao seems to have lost a lot of weight these days, so pay attention to your bones."

  Jia Baoyu smiled wryly, it wasn’t all caused by the things you caused, but these words can’t be said to others, “Well, I didn’t feel refreshed a while ago, but it’s much better these days.”

   "Well, take advantage of the quietness of the new year, and raise a good life." Feng Ziying warned: "You are at this age when you are growing up, so you should be careful about your diet and daily life."

  Jia Baoyu couldn't bear it any longer, "Brother Feng, I want to take good care of my younger brother. I'm afraid the master has other arrangements. When the master sees you today, I'm afraid he has something to ask."

Feng Ziying didn't pretend to be surprised, she nodded, "You're ten years old after the new year, it's normal for Uncle Shi to have some thoughts. I'm afraid uncle wants to rely on you to save face for the Jia family."

Seeing that Feng Ziying hit the point with one sentence, Jia Baoyu couldn't care less, "Brother Feng, but my younger brother doesn't like reading since he was a child, especially those classics, righteousness and policy theories. Common things, what does it have to do with my younger brother? The master only wants his younger brother to study, but he never considers his thoughts."

  Feng Ziying could understand Jia Baoyu's mood.

  No one likes someone to force themselves to do things they don't like, and Jia Baoyu has been spoiled and indulged since he was a child. For example, if a wild horse without a bridle is suddenly locked up at this time, it will naturally have a lot of resistance.

The problem is that you are the son of the second house of the Rongguo Mansion. When Jia Lian failed to study, but there was another Jia Zhu who was successful in studying but died early, it is inevitable that everyone will think that you can also read like your elder brother Jia Zhu. .

   Didn’t you have a great fortune by holding jade in your mouth? And everyone thinks that you are smart and savvy, so you can't be worse than your elder brother, right?

  Jia Zhu can be awarded as a scholar at the age of fourteen and rushed to Juren. If he had not died of illness early, he would not dare to say that he was awarded Jinshi now, at least he would be safe.

   I didn’t expect you, Jia Baoyu, to be a Jinshi, but at least you can follow your brother Zhu’s example and become a scholar, right?

   "Brother Bao, you have to be considerate of Uncle Shi's feelings." Feng Ziying didn't expect that she hadn't seen Jia Zheng yet, but she had to do some ideological work for him first, and it was estimated that this month or so would have suffocated him.

  Jia Baoyu was really depressed and distressed. There were hundreds of people in the house, but he couldn't find a suitable person to pour out his inner distress.

  Lian’s second elder brother, Brother Rong, and the like naturally wouldn’t listen to this. They had their own ideas, had their own fun, and couldn’t understand their own troubles at all.

  If you go to Sister Lin and Third Sister to talk about these things, it seems to be inappropriate. These things should be resolved by yourself. What is it if you complain to a girl younger than yourself?

  After much calculation, it seems that only this brother Feng who has become his role model is barely suitable, although he really doesn't have much affection for this brother Feng.

"Now besides you, who else is there in your Jia family? Jia Huan or Jia Lan?" Feng Ziying earnestly said, "Jia Lan is still young, so it's hard to say, but if you don't want to study, Brother Huan really needs to be able to read. what would you do?"

   "What should I do?" Jia Baoyu was stunned and didn't realize it for a while. Isn't it a good thing that Jia Huan can read? There is a scholar from the Jia family, just like the eldest brother or Uncle Jing from the Ningfu in the east, who is finally a bit of a facade.

  Feng Ziying glanced at the ignorant guy, stopped in her tracks, and didn't go any further.

   Going further in and meeting Jia Zheng, some things are hard to say.

  Feng Ziying still has the same point of view. If you say that Jia Baoyu is not a bad person, he can even be said to be kind-hearted, and he can be regarded as one of the pioneers of the concept of equality between men and women.

  Of course, his equality between men and women is based on the premise of equal status. If the status is not equal, then stop mentioning it.

  The advantages are obvious, but the disadvantages are more, um, and they are basically fatal shortcomings, especially in this human-eating society.

   One is that you can’t see the situation correctly. Your son-in-law doesn’t read books. If Jia Huan, who is a concubine, reads books, how can you deal with yourself? Have you thought about it? Especially when Mrs. Wang and Aunt Zhao are in the same situation.

The second is that there is no ideal goal, and you just want to dawdle. This is the most dangerous. The Jia family itself is in a whirlpool. If you are still in the world all day long, then there is really a comparison. A blind man rides a blind horse and faces a deep pool in the middle of the night. .

  Third, there is no willpower, determination, and courage to bear. This is not brought by nature, but acquired. Although he is still young, it is very difficult to completely reverse this kind of personality.

As for the performance, there are too many sad stories in the book "Dream of Red Mansions", all of which stem from his weakness of character. Of course, these character traits are partly due to the previous two weaknesses.

You can't see the situation clearly, you're dawdling, although you still look dignified, and you're one of the most important people in Jia's mansion, but that's just staying on your own person, and the weight of other things related to you is already huge Discounted, no one will care too much about what you care about.

  Then you have to obey the arrangements of your family. You don’t have the slightest right to speak. If you want to resist and struggle, do you have the strength? Will people take your resistance and struggle seriously?

  So in the end it was a failure, and Jia Baoyu is also the most failed person in the entire "Dream of Red Mansions".

In Feng Ziying's view, no matter how Cao Gong praised and beautified Jia Baoyu's pursuit of free personality and love, and contempt for the feudal system, you have to admit the fact that under the mainstream environment at that time, you did not have the ability to overthrow and veto this. In all cases, whether you act rashly or follow the crowd, it is a manifestation of irresponsibility and hooliganism.

  You and Lin Daiyu are so intimate with each other, you have given them infinite hope, but in the end they succumbed to the family arrangement, and they were cowarded, making a helpless girl completely desperate. Aren’t you playing hooligans?

  It doesn't matter if you tease Jin Chuan'er, you are the young master, of course you have the right, but if something happens, you have to bear it. If you don't have the courage to carry it, why are you playing suave?

  You like Qingwen's voluptuous and pungent personality, that's fine, but you have to think carefully about what this kind of personality you like or even deliberately indulge will bring? Do you have the ability to block the wind knife and frost sword from the outside outside the small courtyard door and window? If you don't have the ability, don't die.

Of course, Feng Ziying knows that these are some of the views she got from reading "A Dream of Red Mansions". Well, very manly, Jia Baoyu himself may not be able to realize it even if he dies, and others in this era may not be able to understand it, or even understand it. Nor can it be approved.

  So even if I want to have a heart-to-heart talk with him, firstly, the timeline has not yet arrived, so it is impossible to talk about it, and secondly, it is impossible to get much substantive effect at all, so it is useless to talk about it.

  So Feng Ziying planned to talk to the other party. After all, this person's quality is not bad, but he will have reservations about what he says, and how much the other party can accept depends on his own understanding and good luck.
