Chapter 161 The Road of Jia Baoyu in the second scroll

"Brother Bao, if your brother Huan can study, passed the examination, became an official, and you are at home like this, then when Brother Huan comes back in the future, how will you see your brother Huan? If you are proud to see your brother as a brother, will you feel that you are short and feel uncomfortable? How will your mother and your aunt feel? And you are holding you in your hand all day for fear of falling. What should the old matriarch who is afraid of melting in his mouth think about? Have you thought about it?"

  Feng Ziying stood still, with an indifferent tone and cold eyes, staring at Jia Baoyu who was a little at a loss.

"If your mother and your aunt got into an argument over trivial matters, would you feel uncomfortable in your heart, your mother's heart? Well, do you think this possibility is very high? And the third ring ring will become an adult in a few days. Officer, I want to ask Uncle Shi for a girl in your house to be a concubine, do you think Uncle Shi will agree or not?..."

   Randomly listed several possibilities, all of which made Jia Baoyu sweat coldly this winter, tongue-tied and speechless.

   He never considered what Brother Feng said.

  Jia Lan is nothing more than that, although he can't say how much affection he has, after all, he can't even remember the appearance of Big Brother Zhu, but Jia Lan is also a legitimate son, and he is too young to think of going there.

As for that brat Huan Laosan, with a wretched face, he followed his **** all day long, thinking about asking himself and his third sister for some pocket money, and he would like it if he gave him a little bit of money. Dazzling smile, can he read?

   But what if it is read out?

  Who can guarantee that he can't read the book?

  Everyone in the family thought they could read books, but only they knew how much they hated reading.

   Didn’t this Brother Feng have never been optimistic that he can read? But now?

   Played very well in the famous Qingtan Academy, even his father, uncle and even mother and ancestors often talked about him, and they all had sighs and emotions, can you believe it?

   His face was pale, sweat profusely, Jia Baoyu's lips were a little blue, his originally suave and handsome face seemed lost at this moment, his whole body was like a yellow leaf swaying on a dead branch in the wind.

Patting Jia Baoyu's shoulder with some pity, Feng Ziying looked like someone who had come here, and said softly: "Brother Bao, think about it carefully. Whose parents don't do it for their own children? Uncle Shi did it for your own good, otherwise why bother?" The New Year's Eve recruited Brother Wei to advise you?"

Like a drowning man catching a life-saving straw, no, it should be a small boat, Jia Baoyu grabbed Feng Ziying's arm and said, "Brother Feng, you are very capable and have many ways. You must have a way to solve these problems. Help me. Give me some advice, I really don’t want to read, when I see things like “Four Books and Five Classics”, I get a headache,…”

  Feng Ziying really wanted to say, so what do you want to do? But when he saw the expectant eyes of the other party, he couldn't bear it, thought for a while and said: "Brother Bao, let's do this, I will see Uncle Shi later, let's listen to Uncle Shi's thoughts first, and we can discuss it later, okay?" good?"

Nodding like a chicken pecking at rice, now Jia Baoyu really regards Feng Ziying as a life-saving straw. The previous dissatisfaction and resentment towards Feng Ziying have long been left behind. As for the future, let’s talk about it, at least Now he is grateful to Feng Ziying.

   Seeing Jia Zheng standing in the middle of Rongxi Hall with his hands behind his back, Feng Ziying stepped into the threshold and bowed deeply, "My nephew has seen Uncle Zheng Shi."

   "Ziying is here?" Jia Zheng held back a little, and raised his hand, "They are all from my own family, why should you be so polite, sit down, sit down."

  There are two red sandalwood official hat chairs on the top of this Rongxi hall, which look like old things at first glance. The backs of the dark armchairs have been polished as smooth as mirrors, and there are two smooth nanmu chairs on both sides.

  Behind it is the majestic ink dragon painting. The bronze tripod and the secret color porcelain vase on the red sandalwood carving case complement each other, which is really magnificent.

  The ground is paved with Suzhou gold bricks, which is the atmosphere of a famous family.

   These gold bricks are only now being gradually opened to the public. Twenty years ago, they needed the approval of the Ministry of Industry to allow them to be used. The Jia family must have obtained special approval from the imperial court.

This decoration alone is not comparable to others like the Feng family. The emperor gave the plaque and the prince wrote the couplets. In addition, these are all antiques and old things. It is afraid to take one out. It can be worth eight thousand taels of silver. Anyone who comes here and takes a look at it will feel that the Jia family is afraid to be rich for thousands of years, right?

   After sitting down, it was natural to exchange greetings, and then asked about the daily life in the academy before the topic started to get down to business.

  Feng Ziying had already guessed what Jia Zheng was thinking.

  Jia Baoyu must go to study, but his temperament is still there, how to read, how to read, so that he can continue to read, can read well, and won't be like his elder brother who is exhausted physically and mentally and eventually dies.

   This is also the most troublesome thing for everyone in the Jia family.

Jia Baoyu slumped in the chair next to him like a **** quail. He knew he couldn't get in the way of such topics, and interrupting rashly would only attract his father's scolding, and only Brother Feng could probably speak in front of his father. Only then can I hear it.

   "Ziying, to tell you the truth, Uncle Shi has always hoped for a decent scholar in his family all his life, and your elder brother Zhu did the same..." Mentioning his eldest son, Jia Zheng's eyes are a little moist, it's a pity that he lost a seed of reading.

"... You have seen Baoyu's current situation. The other day, his uncle also said that Baoyu should go to study, but his body and mind are really embarrassing for Uncle Shi. You studied in Datong a few years ago and returned to Beijing. Afterwards, he studied in the Imperial College, and now he is studying in Qingtan Academy, so you can help Uncle Shi with an idea, how should Baoyu go to study next?"

   Didn't say what Baoyu should do, but directly said how to study, which settled the sex, and Jia Baoyu next to him immediately turned pale again.

"Uncle Shi, my nephew understands what you mean. Baoyu must go to study. The Jia family cannot live without a scholar..." Feng Ziying immediately pointed out the topic, and Jia Zheng nodded again and again. I understood what I meant.

"Then nephew, can I ask Uncle Shi what he expects from Baoyu's study?" Feng Ziying needs to determine the strategy according to the other party's request. It's a strategy to win the goodwill of the Jia family, which is not a bad thing, anyway, there is still a girl living in his house.

   One sentence asked the key point again.

Jia Zheng glanced at Baoyu, who was not daring to look at him with his head down, and sighed: "Ziying, you are not an outsider, and Uncle Shi won't hide it from you. Uncle Shi hopes that Baoyu can study hard like his elder brother and become a scholar. To Juren, but his temperament is uncertain, Uncle Shi has no idea."

Feng Ziying nodded. In fact, he didn't have any expectations. He just hoped that Jia Baoyu could go to school. "Accidentally" admitted to a Juren?

  Feng Ziying pretended to be pondering and bowed her head in silence, and Jia Zheng didn't urge her. For a while, there was silence in Rongxi Hall, only Jia Baoyu's slightly rapid breathing could be heard clearly.

   "Uncle Shi, since you asked my nephew, I can only talk about my nephew's own opinion."

   "Ziying, you don't have to worry about it." Jia Zheng nodded.

"Since Baoyu's reading is the general trend, it is always necessary to read, but he is too young, and his body is not as rough and durable as my nephew, who has been in the wind and rain, so my nephew's idea is to let Baoyu at home. The private school teacher in the government, or the private school set up in the government to study, of course, the school teacher must be invited well, and you can't fool around,..."

  Feng Ziying’s words made Jia Zheng nod slightly. Now it’s unrealistic to ask Jia Baoyu, who has just turned ten, to go out to study.

"Right now, all the academies basically only admit students over the age of fourteen. Well, students who are twelve or thirteen years old like my nephew are special cases. My nephew said it before, and I'm used to hanging out in the border areas. , with strong bones, probably not many think that my nephew is only thirteen years old,..."

  Jia Zheng also laughed. Indeed, Feng Ziying's skeleton stood there, and coupled with his bearing, no one would doubt that he was fifteen or sixteen.

"So my nephew thought about letting Baoyu study at home for three or four years now, and if possible, then find a chance to enter an academy. It's just that Qingtan Academy is too poor, so it may not be suitable for Baoyu, but Tonghui and Chongzheng Academy still have opportunities... "Feng Ziying thought for a while and said: "If it is not suitable to enter the academy, you can still consider entering the Imperial College. If the shadow prison is not enough, you might as well ask Lord Wang to ask His Majesty for a favor."

   According to the regulations of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Beijing officials must have the fourth rank of civil servants and the third rank of military officials before they can have their nephews and nephews alone. Otherwise, the emperor can only give special favors.

Lunguan Pinyi, Jia Zheng is not qualified, but Jia amnesty is enough, but Jia Lian should have used this opportunity, so Jia Baoyu will have to take the road of grace if he wants to be a prisoner at that time. With Teng's current state, this is not a problem.

   Or go to donated prison, it would be too embarrassing, the Jia family could not accept this method.

  Of course the best place to go is to enter the academy.

  Feng Ziying did not point it out, that is, any of the four major academies will not accept it if they have not passed the examination of scholar or supervisor status. It is impossible for you to go to the academy to study and then take the examination of scholar.

  Both Jia Zheng and Jia Baoyu should know this, that is to say, if you want to study in an academy, at least you have to take the examination of a scholar, or get a shadow prison status.

   Jia Zheng pondered for a long time, and finally nodded.

It should be said that this was the best idea Feng Ziying gave him. If Jia Baoyu can pass the examination of scholar in the next three or four years, everyone will be happy. He can try his best to go to the academy to study. If he can't go to Qingtan, Chongzheng, Tonghui and Diecui are all Yes, it can be regarded as one of the four major academies, with a name and style.

   If it’s really not possible, take the road of Yinjian, find a student of the Imperial College, just like Feng Ziying, and then enter the academy. Of course, this may take a lot of effort. Not everyone can have the opportunity and courage of Feng Ziying.

  Seeing this plump, tall, elegant woman pouring tea for her, Feng Ziying couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

This house of hairpin tassels, which is full of bells and bells, is indeed different. I'm afraid I can't find anyone in the whole house who can stand up to the water-dripping girl in front of me. Wearing a moon white hang silk sweat towel, she has a dignified and beautiful duck egg face, and a few small freckles landed on her white face, which is actually a little playful.

  Feng Ziying didn't notice that Jia Zheng and Jia Baoyu were both taken aback when they saw the girl who was pouring water.

This girl had been standing outside the door before, but it was not far away, and Feng Ziying didn't care. She didn't expect that when she poured tea here, her expression was neither humble nor overbearing, her hands and feet were quick and skillful, and her movements were quick and flexible. She was obviously used to it. Coupled with this appearance and demeanor, Feng Ziying can also be filled with emotion.

It's just that after taking a second look, he felt a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while. He had been to Rongguo Mansion three times in total, but he had seen quite a few Yingyingyanyans. It's just that it's not easy to look at the flowers that time, I only have a general impression.

  Seeing that the woman went away gracefully after pouring the water, Feng Ziying didn't care, so she started chatting with Jia Zheng.

   "Here we come, we come, old ancestor, Sister Yuanyang is back." A girl's voice sounded from far away outside the upper room in Jiamu's courtyard.

   "Are you back? Let her in quickly." Mrs. Shi was still in good spirits, sitting on the kang and hurriedly beckoned the little maid to let the mandarin ducks in.

  The room was warm and harmonious, and Yingying Yanyan sat in a large group, surrounding the old lady.

   Sitting below are Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Li Wan and Wang Xifeng, surrounded by a few girls, and the maids are all standing behind their own girls, whispering.

Daiyu couldn't help stretching her neck and looking out. She knew that Brother Feng had entered the mansion, but it was definitely not her turn to meet at this time and on such occasions. Second Brother Bao greeted him personally, and Uncle met him in Rongxi Hall in person. , is enough to show that this must be the right thing.

  Later, she found out that her uncle was looking for Brother Feng to learn about the academy, and it seemed that he was planning to study for Brother Bao in the future.

  Thinking of this, Daiyu couldn't help but want to know what kind of idea Brother Feng could give her uncle. During this period of time, her ancestors and aunt were all worried about it, and her uncle, who rarely got angry, also got angry several times.

  A servant broke a vase, which would have been scolded once in the past, but that day he was ordered to be dragged down by his uncle and beaten severely.

   If there is no result in this matter, I am afraid that the whole family will not be at peace.
