Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 11 Jia Lian's Study Room

She just listened to her advice: "Yun Luo doesn't like the way I look angry. He's just a yellow-haired boy. What achievements can he make? Not to mention whether he can pass the child examination at a young age. Even if he passes by luck, But he is also a low-ranking person from a merchant. Don’t you know that the more you are like this, the easier it is to climb up and down. How can a little person know the importance? How can he be as good as the master, who has a prominent family background, is knowledgeable about the world, has writing skills, and You have talent. Don't be angry now, and smell the fragrance in my arms. Do you like it?"

After all, it was Jie Yuhua, two or three words made Jia Zhu's expression soften, and she was holding her slender hand at this time, and said with a smile: "You little rascal, I'm having a banquet, so you hooked up with me to come here, it's just a It's just a vulgar smell, but it has seduced me several times and I can't stop, come here for me, and see if I don't take good care of you!"

Jia Zhu spoke harshly, and her hands were not idle, Yunluo co-operated softly, and she never forgot to beg for mercy, which made Jia Zhu even more reluctant to go back to Lao Shizi's banquet.

On the other side, Xue Hong was walking with his head down, but he didn't want to be stopped suddenly.

"Brother Hong, why did you come here?"

Xue Hong looked back and saw Jia Lian.

He was also angry and walked away sullenly. He didn't know the way at first, but now he didn't know where he went.Seeing that Jia Lian was born with beautiful features, she seemed to be a bit of a daughter, but she laughed at everyone.

Xue Hongxin said, this must be the wrong way to open it.

How is this ridiculous playboy in front of him, who drags all good-looking women into his house regardless of their status, disregards the filial piety of the country and the family, and stops his wife to remarry?He is basically a handsome young man, and he has the feeling of being a celebrity in his previous life.Could it be that his own existence has changed Jia Lian's character?

If this is the case, could it be said that Jia Lian would be a good match for Wang Xifeng?

Xue Hong also smiled and said: "Brother Lian, forgive me. I just left the table for a walk, but somehow got lost."

Jia Lian heard this, and called for the inkstone beside him: "Go and pass a message later, tell my aunt, just say that Brother Hong and I will sit together for a while and then go back, so that my wife will not be anxious if I can't find Brother Hong."

Holding the inkstone to take the order, Xue Hong was taken to Jia Lian's study.

It turns out that Jia Lian also came home to change clothes. He didn't want to see Xue Hong walking dully as soon as he left the hospital, as if there was money on the ground.

"Brother Hong looked worried just now. Who provoked you?"

Xue Hong curled her lips, seeing that Jia Lian was born amiable, she didn't intend to hide it, but she also refused to provoke the relationship between the two brothers with words, but said lightly: "I just came from Big Brother Zhu's side, It's just that I was naughty and wanted to use my own memory to return the same way, but I turned around and still couldn't find the way, so I was a little anxious."

After hearing this, Jia Lian did not doubt that he was there. He smiled at Xue Hong's childish nature and invited him to have tea and rest. Xue Hong agreed.

Jia Lian saw that he was courteous and decent, and sighed: "Brother Hong is young, but he has learned a lot. He was able to pass all the way to the last test of Tongsheng after the end of the first year. It's a shame how old you are, brother. Your classmate."

Xue Hong was surprised: "Why is Lian's second elder brother also taking the exam this year? I don't know."

"Yes. This is the second time. It was the first time that the mansion also attached great importance to it. There were lanterns and festoons everywhere, and they talked a lot. Unexpectedly, only the mansion had tried, and the subsequent exams failed one after another. There are so many people in this mansion. Miscellaneous, although it is not a big deal, but my brother has really suffered a lot.

But since I was young, my uncle ordered me to study in the Zhang family's family for a few years, and I soon cheered up.This year my wife purposely kept her secret, she was afraid that she would fall heavily when she ascended a height, but she did not expect to break into the courtyard test.Speaking of which, I am already very satisfied, even if I fail this year, it’s okay, it’s okay to study hard and take the exam again.I just envy Brother Hong for your quick thinking, which is beyond the reach of foolish brothers. "

Jia Lian said this sincerely, with a humble attitude, and the envy on his face was also fair.Xue Hong couldn't help but slander, Jia Lian said lightly, "there are many people in the house with mixed mouths", doesn't Xue Hong know how broken-mouthed Jia's servants are usually?
In the original book, Xue's family sprinkled money all over the sky as soon as they entered Jia's house, and even the sweeping woman got the benefits of Xue's family. Isn't it just to stop Youyou's mouth?
That villain, climbing high and stepping down, does not get up early without profit.With the benefit of the Xue family, it is natural to hear something.

It's not that the Xue family is shameless and afraid of being exposed, but even though they are the four major families in Jinling, their family background is much lower than that of the Duke's mansion, so it is not acceptable to do so.

Only Xue Hong felt sorry for the money given to the slaves of the Jia family.If you have the spare money, it is better to help the poor and accumulate virtue and do good deeds than to fill the desires of those pigs and skinny dogs.

It's just that he just came back from Jia Zhu, and when he met Jia Lian's frank and lovable behavior, Xue Hong immediately felt more amiable.

No matter how it is described in the original book, anyway, Xue Hong thinks that Jia Lian in front of him is worthy of friendship.

"Grandpa, look."

Xue Hong was distracted here, Tang Jiu pulled Xue Hong's sleeve quietly, and then looked at Jia Lian's room, Xue Hong understood it with Tang Jiu's small eyes.

What he meant was: Look, Mr. Lian’s study is much more elegant than Mr. Zhu’s. No wonder he is always so yin and yang in his words. I’m afraid he is secretly envious and jealous.

Xue Hong smiled to himself, then took a closer look at Jia Lian's study.Let’s not talk about how big the place is. After a quick glance, we can see that the interior of this study is very elegant.Not to mention anything else, the furniture in the house made of high-quality old elm wood is already worth a lot of money, not to mention the four treasures of the study on the table and even the paperweight, pen washer, etc., most of which are made by famous people. The ones inlaid with gold are the ones carved with jade, which makes people dazzled.

What surprised Xue Hong the most was the collection on Jia Lian's bookcase.

Regardless of the collection of classics and history, common bibliographies such as the Four Books and Five Classics, let alone the rare books on the shelf, the travel notes of the story books, and the biographies of celebrities, etc., are all rare and good books.

Even the well-informed Xue Hong opened a few books at random and couldn't help but marvel.

As far as Jia Lian's study is concerned, book lovers will be reluctant to leave even if they come in. It is no wonder that Jia Zhu is so eccentric. Xue Hong's collection of books has reached the point where Xue Hong can't put it down.

"Brother Lian, can I borrow these books?"

Jia Lian had known that Xue Hong had a great talent for reading. Seeing his love for books, Jia Lian was not surprised at all. He smiled and said: "What is it worth? Although I have many books here, most of them are handwritten copies, which are truly unique relics." They are all in the hands of my uncles. If Brother Hong is interested, just show them, no need to be polite."

In fact, in this day and age, people who really love books are stingy with the relics of orphaned copies. They are afraid that others will read them, spread them out and destroy their original value, or they will be damaged or dirty.

Seeing Jia Lian being so generous, Xue Hong had to wonder, could it be that Jia Lian had more precious books in his hands?Or does he really not care about books at all?
Well, no matter what the reason is, Jia Lian's generosity is Xue Hong's blessing.He carefully selected a few books that interested him, thanked them, and chatted with Jia Lian.

After talking, Xue Hong discovered that Jia Lian was a very talkative and quick-witted person.

He understands that he doesn't have much talent for reading, but under the half-forced by his mother, he has to work hard. Be filial.

I only heard him sigh: "I am not attached to the scientific examination, and I always think about donating to the official.

But I am not a poor person who suddenly got rich, rich but not expensive, with a fly in the ointment. I need to donate my fame to increase my status. I am not a person who loses every year in the three-year competition. I have to donate my official position to find a way out when I am older.

Now that I'm so young and my family is so rich, I don't want to study hard and flatter me on the right path, but I only want to donate to an official. Isn't it worthless?
So knowing that there are good connections in my family to find real vacancies, I dare not even mention the words of donating officials in front of my parents and uncles. . "

Xue Hong said with a smile: "Brother Lian, please don't belittle yourself. Why did you lose confidence in studying after failing the exam once? As the saying goes, 'thirty old masters, fifty young scholars', the road to the imperial examination is long, how can we make rash conclusions? Besides, , I’m not in a hurry to become an official. With my brother’s talent and background, are you afraid that he won’t be able to become an official in the future?”

Jia Lian shook his head repeatedly: "They say you are a child prodigy and you are very knowledgeable about the world. Why do you say such childlike things? No one knows better than myself whether I am reading the material.

You know, our Jia family is still a relative of the emperor, but the situation has become worse and worse in recent years, but we just look good on the outside.I am the eldest son and grandson of Rongguo Mansion, how can I not think about my family?
I want to be an official, and I have to be a good official, so that I can honor my ancestors and revive my family.It's just... hey, I can only blame me for not being a material for studying. If I had half the talents of Big Brother Zhu, I wouldn't be so troubled.

Who doesn't want to be an official through the imperial examination, which is justified?Isn't this a lack of energy?If it is true that he fails every year, procrastinating again and again, not to mention affecting his official career, and failing to do what he can do, then he is really called the eldest son and grandson of the Rongguo Mansion in vain. "

Talking here, Xue Hong not only wants to look at Jia Lian with admiration, but also has some sincere respect.

The Jia Mansion is said to be the mansion of the Duke of the State, impressive and rich, but in fact it has been passed down to this generation, and the status of the Jia Mansion in Beijing is already very embarrassing.

In the Qing Dynasty, those who could be called "gong of the country", according to common sense, must be from Aisin Gioro's clan before they could be granted the title. They were divided into four levels, namely, those who were able to subdue the country and those who were able to assist the country. The duke, the duke of the town who does not enter Bafen, and the auxiliary duke of the country who does not enter Bafen.

The title of the minister is naturally the title of Gonghou, Bozinan and so on.
