Chapter 254: The B-word roll has a lot of favorable impressions, showing the way

Xue Baochai was undoubtedly the hardest hit.

She has long heard about the extraordinary talents of this Feng family man.

But in the past, she had only met him once and never even spoken to him. But today, she really saw the other person's charm.

 This is the demeanor of a fourteen-year-old Juren?

 The youngest person to be elected after the capital was moved to the Great Zhou Dynasty!

 Attention-grabbing.

He is different from the young man who talked freely in front of Jia Mu a year ago. In one year, the Feng family man has not only grown a lot taller, but also has a sharper and more domineering momentum. It has an intimidating demeanor.

When spoken, the words of advice are reasonable, touching, and not offensive at all. However, if you calm down and savor it carefully, you will find that the impact and persuasiveness of the other person's words are shocking. Be convincing.

Baochai didn’t know whether Baoyu was moved or convinced, but she felt that she was deeply touched by these words.

The Xue family has been in a visible decline since she became sensible. Her father died due to this worry. In a sense, her father was under too much pressure to reverse the decline of the Xue family. , which led to the deterioration of physical condition and premature death.

It is difficult for many people to understand and understand, but Xue Baochai, who is growing up, can understand his father's difficulties.

Being an imperial merchant is not that easy, and the changes of the emperor and the courtiers above can have a huge impact on the operations of the imperial merchants below. My father is not a particularly capable person, and in this kind of situation Under such circumstances, it is inevitable to become exhausted mentally and physically.

Feng Ziying's previous words undoubtedly brought out the difficulties of running a business. Even if everything is inferior and only good at reading, not everyone can become a scholar, and every family can become an heir of poems and books, so why not Without any choice, how to maintain the livelihood of the family through making a living is also a science.

Moreover, Baochai also knew that the second uncle’s family must have taken this opportunity to get involved with the Feng family. The gold, silver and jade jewelry business in Shandong must have been supported and cooperated by the Feng family, and now they are doing well in Shandong. Shuiqi even had an intuition that it was the Feng family man who was behind the scenes.

A young man of the same age as himself not only passed the examination as the youngest candidate in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but he was also able to take care of other businesses that were not valued by many others. At the same time, he could also teach a dandy like Baoyu how not to let go. Baochai's heart is stirring?

For these girls, they usually have very few opportunities to meet men of the same age. It can be said that even if they have the opportunity to burn incense and pray for blessings once a month, or occasionally go shopping, but they can really meet them. There are very few opportunities for men of the same age who can catch your eye, and even if you glance at them, there is basically no chance to get to know them.

This is why young men like Jia Baoyu are so popular and pampered in the Jia family.

But now there is a big man from the Feng family, and every time the big man from the Feng family comes, it will bring a greater impact to the Jia family. A majestic and solid image is filling their hearts.

As girls grow up, they also begin to realize that they will eventually leave this big family. Every young girl will look forward to what her future husband will be like, and what her husband's family will be like. , Dalang Feng undoubtedly became the best target in their minds.

In comparison, Baoyu is more like a child who has not yet grown up. The girls may be friendly to him, be affectionate to him, and care for him, but they will never think of entrusting their destiny to him. How can a child who is difficult to take care of be worthy of being entrusted with him for the rest of his life?

Of course, girls cannot control these things. Their parents’ orders and the words of matchmakers can ultimately determine their fate, but this does not affect their inner visions and fantasies about their future.

Jia Zheng and his wife standing outside the house and even Wang Xifeng and Yuanyang who accompanied Mrs. Wang were shocked by Feng Ziying's words in the house.

Jia Zheng came alone after receiving the news that Feng Ziying came to see Baoyu, while Mrs. Wang came to see Baoyu accompanied by Wang Xifeng. As for Yuanyang, she was entrusted by the old lady to come to see Baoyu. She did not expect that the three groups of people would be there. They met Baoyu at the door of the courtyard, and as soon as he entered, Jia Zheng stopped Qingwen who had just arrived at the door and wanted to go in to report.

They happened to be standing outside the house, listening to Feng Ziying's baptism for Jia Baoyu, especially when Feng Ziying mentioned the hard work of Sister-in-law Lian and Master Lian, and the aging of Jia Zheng and his wife. These touching words made people feel Jia Zheng and his wife, Wang Xifeng and even Yuanyang, as well as Qingwen standing aside, were all deeply moved.

After a long time, Baoyu's muffled words came from the silent room: "Brother Feng, I understand everything you said, but you also understand my situation. Can you give me some advice and show me a clear path? "

"Baoyu, this is not a matter of Brother Yu showing you the way. Of course Brother Yu can show you the way, but are you willing to go? Can you walk and persevere? It goes against your nature. I'm afraid you yourself know that you are You can't persist, so Brother Yu just said that you should calm down and think about what kind of life you want. But there is no doubt that Brother Yu just told you that your current life cannot last long. Continuously, you have to grasp your own path. Well, no one can help you with this. You can only calm down and think about it. If you think about it clearly, I think maybe you can really do it. Come out."

“But what if I can’t understand the truth?” Baoyu’s words seemed to be a little more angry.

"What, you plan to become a monk? Then let me tell you, if there is no cover from the Jia family, in ordinary temples, besides meditating and chanting sutras, monks would also go out to seek alms from wealthy families. For example, your Rongguo Duke's mansion is probably not less visited by temples and Taoist temples. How about alms? Or you just pick manure in the fields next to the temple and Taoist temple, and dig for food in the soil. Do you think being a monk or a Taoist priest is so easy? Just sit in a quiet room in a meditation hall all day long, eating and drinking for free?" Feng Ziying had no idea. Respond politely.

Baoyu was speechless. He had no idea that even monks had so many fancy activities. But thinking about it carefully, it seems that there are quite a lot of monks who come to Jia's house for alms every year, and they come almost every year.

Seeing Jia Baoyu lowering his head in despair, Feng Ziying also knew not to push too hard. In fact, Jia Baoyu himself should also know that even if he forced him to do some things, even if he agreed with his words, he still couldn't do it. , is also in vain.

Feng Ziying never expected that the other party could change his mind and start a new life with just a chicken soup trick. That was impossible.

His purpose is very simple, to give an explanation to the Jia family, to show that he has tried his best, and to gain a good impression.

He didn't expect that Jia Zheng and his wife, Jia Mu's spokesperson and Wang Xifeng heard all this outside the house, and this wave of goodwill was almost overwhelming.

"Think about it carefully. If you can't figure it out, you can come to Brother Yu if you have figured it out." Feng Ziying stood up calmly, handed the tea cup to Xi Ren who had a complex expression next to her, put her hands behind her back and He said: "Sisters, don't stay here anymore. Give Baoyu a quiet environment and let him think about it. If you push, you may be able to find a way out."

Feng Ziying took the lead to go out, leaving Baoyu who was dazed in the room. However, she caught sight of a group of people with complicated expressions outside the room. She hurriedly wanted to salute, but was stopped by Jia Zheng's gesture. By the way, he gestured with his hand to let Feng Ziying go out.

Several girls who followed Feng Ziying out also saw this scene and did not dare to say anything. Accompanied by the maids, they could only greet Jia Zheng, his wife and Wang Xifeng before leaving in a hurry.

After walking out of Baoyu's small courtyard, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang sighed sadly and were speechless all the way to Jia Zhengwai's study.

Mrs. Wang also rarely left, but followed Jia Zheng into the study. It was obvious that both the couple had realized the seriousness and urgency of this matter.

“My dear nephew, thank you for your trouble.” Jia Zheng sighed lightly.

When they heard that Jia Baoyu was so fierce that he wanted to become a monk to fight against the family's persecution, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang couldn't help but feel frightened. They had already given in, and they couldn't let Baoyu become a monk no matter what. What would happen to the Jia family's incense? Of course there is Jia Lan, but this jade is the most favored by the ancestors and Jia Zheng and his wife.

It’s just that Feng Ziying made it very clear before. If you can’t study well, what about doing things? Worse still, where can Baoyu have the patience to do those tedious chores? Let alone making a living, I'm afraid it would be even more impossible.

“Uncle Zhengshi, aunt, actually don’t worry too much, Baoyu will definitely make some progress after this,...”

Before Feng Ziying finished speaking, Jia Zheng had already waved his hands with a wry smile, "Brother Keng, you don't need to comfort me and your aunt. Baoyu is in a situation where he may not be able to read much, but what you said before is indeed helpful to him." I'm a little touched, but he is a person who knows his son better than his father. He has no definite character. It's very difficult to stick to it. But my nephew also told Baoyu before, asking him to tell you if he doesn't understand. Come on. Determining his future, Uncle Yu also wants to ask, are the words of the wise nephew to comfort Baoyu, so that he will not be too desperate? "

As soon as Jia Zheng said these words, even Mrs. Wang couldn't help but look at him expectantly.

Feng Ziying thought for a while and then said slowly: "It's not exactly to comfort Baoyu. My nephew is just thinking that if Baoyu can't succeed in studying, taking exams, becoming an official, or doing work to make a living, I'm afraid there will be only one way."

 Is there another way? Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang looked at each other, what else could they do? Are you really asking Baoyu to become a monk?
