Chapter 216 B Scroll Four Enters Jia’s Mansion (Part 2)

  Feng Ziying and Jia Baoyu had just returned to Rong Mansion when they were stopped by Li Shi'er who was guarding the corner gate.

  Feng Ziying also recognized this Li Shi'er, knowing that he was Jia Zheng's first-class follower, similar to Ruixiang beside her, but stopped her at this time, I am afraid that Jia Zheng came back and waited for her.

   "Uncle Feng, the master told you to go to the master's inner study as soon as you come back." Li Shi'er's words surprised Jia Baoyu, "Did the master not call me?"

   "Master didn't say anything, just let me invite Uncle Feng." Seeing Baoyu's happy smile, Li Shi'er also found it funny.

  This Second Master Bao is really like a mouse seeing a cat when he sees the master, but this Uncle Feng is really neither humble nor overbearing when he sees the master. On the contrary, the master is still a little worried.

Seeing that he had escaped the "bad luck" of going to see his father, Jia Baoyu was so excited that he didn't know what to do, so he told Li Shi'er that if the master asked, he would say that he had a few more drinks with Brother Feng at noon. So this time I went back to the yard to sleep.

  Jia Zheng's inner study is behind the courtyard where Jia She lives, in a small courtyard with a "Tiren Mude" plaque hanging on it.

  Seeing Jia Baoyu slipping away like flying away, before he slipped away, he gestured to himself frequently, obviously hoping that he would show mercy.

  Feng Ziying also had no choice but to follow Li Shier.

  Different from the past, this time I saw myself in the inner study. Is this also an attitude of getting closer and even treating myself as a family?

   It's kind of like that.

   There are generally two places for Jia Zhengjian’s guests. The ones that are particularly important or formal are in the Rongxi Hall, and most of the guests are in the study outside, including chatting with students and Qing guests.

  The inner study room is generally accessible to everyone including family members, which means that I really don’t avoid suspicion of myself.

I have to say that the Rongguo Mansion is big enough to do whatever it wants, and the inner study is so elegantly built, it is indeed a pity to put it on someone like Jia Zheng. Feng Ziying is also complaining in her heart, following Li Shi'er. enter.

There is a small courtyard outside, and there are side rooms and main rooms. After entering the courtyard, there is an inner door to the east, which is the real inner study room. But looking at the layout of the inner study room, it is completely a small courtyard alone. Feng Ziying knew that this was actually Jia Zheng's private courtyard.

At Mrs. Wang's age, it is estimated that Jia Zheng seldom went to rest in Mrs. Wang's courtyard. Most of the time should be spent resting with the young and beautiful Aunt Zhao, or he lived here. Small, well-equipped feel.

   "Ziying is here." Jia Zheng stood at the door with his hands behind his back, as if he was looking at the osmanthus plants in the small courtyard, thinking about something, when he saw Feng Ziying coming in, he smiled.

   "I met Uncle Shi." Since everyone was so friendly, Feng Ziying simply omitted the word "Zheng" and called him Uncle Shi directly. Sure enough, Jia Zheng's face was even more happy.

   "Come in, come in and sit down." Jia Zheng let Feng Ziying into the study, and Li Shi'er retreated cautiously. Naturally, a maid brought tea in.

  Feng Ziying took a look at the inner study room. The white walls on the wall are a bit old, but they look very comfortable. There is a moon window, and there is actually a potted plant in the corner. There are also northern bonsai these days?

There is a word on the wall, "Indifferentness leads to enlightenment, tranquility leads to distance", well, Feng Ziying still knows this, it is in "Huainanzi", and many officials like to hang in their offices now "Indifferent to enlightenment, tranquility leads to distance" "Slightly different.

   I don't know whether Jia Zheng really felt that he was not virtuous enough, so he could only be indifferent to his desires, or he still had the same thoughts, but no one gave him a chance?

"This is where Uncle Yu usually lives." Jia Zheng was not so pretentious, and even wanted to show off, "You also know that Uncle Yu is just a idle job in the Ministry of Industry, and he doesn't have much business on weekdays. Uncle reads here a lot when he returns home, and sometimes he gets tired of reading, so he rests here."

   "Uncle Shi is in a good mood." Feng Ziying praised.

   Looking at the poised young man in front of him, Jia Zheng had complicated emotions.

A year passed in a flash, but this kid's reputation became bigger and bigger. My brothers and sisters-in-law still praised him full of praise when they came back, but they no longer mentioned Tanchun and his marriage. It should be that the Feng family received rumors What a reaction.

  I heard that the Feng family meant to wait until this kid Qiu Wei before talking about the marriage, but now my brother-in-law and myself already feel that it is difficult for Tanchun to marry into the Feng family.

  My brother-in-law has even been lamenting that Yuan Chun should not enter the palace, so that he would have the best marriage partner, and he sighed endlessly in his words, which made Jia Zheng very embarrassed.

  Jia Zheng actually liked Tanchun very much, but Tanchun's background was a shortcoming.

It would be fine if you marry an ordinary martial arts son, but the Feng family is clearly on the rise now, Feng Tang is recovering again, Feng Ziying has also made a big name in the capital city, once won, it will basically be the same as that of the Jia family. Even if the marriage is broken.

  Thinking of this, Jia Zheng became more and more worried about the future of the Jia family.

  Why didn't he know about Baoyu's study in ethnology? But so what?

The only thing he hopes is that Baoyu will be two years older, and even if he fails the examination of scholar, he will go to the Imperial College to study, and find an opportunity to send him to the academy to be restrained for two years, so that he can really be honed and polished, lest he really go astray in the future .

  Inquired about Feng Ziying's study in the academy, and heard Feng Ziying talk about Xu Xie, Han Jing, Lian Guoshi, Fan Jingwen, etc., and said that Zhou Yongchun officially took over the academy as the head of the academy years ago. Jia Zheng was also very envious.

  Xu Xie, Han Jing, Lian Guoshi and others are all well-known scholars in the northern and southern scholars, and they are also popular candidates for the first and second ranks in Xiake Chunwei.

  Zhou Yongchun is a well-known scholar in Shandong, with an excellent character. This time, after Qi Yongtai became the left servant of the official department, the senior management of Qingtan Academy was exchanged, which also made the reputation of Qingtan Academy rise to a higher level.

  If Baoyu can go to Qingtan Academy to study, that would be great.

  Jia Zheng thought to himself that this kind of arduous and strict discipline can give Baoyu the best tempering and training, and it can also sweep away the absurdity, profligacy, and laziness in him.

   "Ziying, August is Qiu Wei, you must be sure in your heart?" Jia Zheng asked with a smile.

"Uncle Shi, no one dares to promise such things. My nephew has really worked hard for more than a year, but you also know the difficulty of Qiuwei, my nephew can only say that I will do my best and live up to my teacher's kindness." .”

   He spoke impeccably, but Jia Zheng could still hear the confidence in the other party's words, which made Jia Zheng feel a little bitter in his heart.

Shaking his head slightly, putting aside some unrealistic fantasies, Jia Zheng pondered for a while before saying: "Ziying, you are not an outsider, Uncle Yu has something to ask, I know that Qingtan Academy has strict discipline, and students love themselves and strive for progress, yes , but after all, the number of candidates who pass the exam is limited every year. If there are students in Qiuwei Middle School who fail the exam and are unable to continue their studies for the time being, you can ask Uncle Yu to see if anyone is willing to come to my residence for a while. Ethnology, or specialize in teaching Baoyu, Huan'er, Lang Geer, and others..."

   It turned out to be this idea, and Feng Ziying also found it interesting.

   It seems that Jia Zheng also knows that this kind of ethnology cannot be read in books, but he can understand his eagerness.

Moreover, most of the 70 or 80 people in the East Garden A and B buildings of Qingtan Academy will still fail the rankings in Qiuwei, even if a considerable number of people will continue to study and try again, there will still be some people who will either go back to their hometowns or go to another school. Find another way.

   Either stay in the imperial capital to find a background, this background is either to be a teacher in a wealthy family, or there is a way to be a staff member with that bureaucrat.

  It’s really not good, so I can only be like Zhan Guang in Jia’s mansion.

Qingtan Academy only has a higher relative probability of passing the exam and being a Jinshi. With such fierce competition, it is normal for most of them to fail the rankings, and it is also normal for them to be unable to study because of their own age and family background. This is also the most true truth of this era. one side.

Just like countless unsatisfactory students who came out of famous high schools and even universities in the previous life, countless students from the four major academies silently disappear into the crowd every year, but everyone only remembers the hundreds of top three in each subject. There is also remembered behind them a huge group of pyramid tower bases.

"Uncle Shi, my nephew must keep this matter in mind." Feng Ziying nodded solemnly, "Maybe many people in our academy will fail the exam, but what they have learned in the academy for a few years is not only In terms of Jingyi policy, more importantly, the cultivation of moral character, my nephew thinks this is probably the most important thing in our Qingtan Academy,..."

   It's inevitable to brag, but it's telling the truth, and isn't that what Jia Zheng values?

Every year in Qingtan Academy, many students who missed Qiu Wei will leave, especially some "old students" who have passed three or four subjects but still can't pass Qiu Wei. There are students in their twenties, if they are not good enough in this subject, I am afraid that many of them will not be able to persevere.

  The family background is not good, and they are all dragging their families. No matter what, they have to make a living for their own family. In fact, this Jia Mansion is actually a good choice.

   Coming out of Jia Zheng's study, Jia Zheng naturally couldn't send him out. After Feng Ziying asked him to stay, he stepped out calmly.

   Li Shi'er was naturally going to be sent out, but just as he was leaving the courtyard, he saw a skinny young man walking from the other side.

   "Brother Huan." Li Shi'er's greeting made Feng Ziying stop immediately, and looked up and down this character who played the leading role among countless Red Chamber fans.

In terms of image, it is indeed too far from Jia Baoyu, with a big forehead and slightly high cheekbones. Of course, she is still young and has not yet finalized her shape, and her eyes are also a little smaller. They are completely different from Tanchun's phoenix eyes. I don't know this mother How big is the gap between compatriots? But fortunately, it is still spiritual.
