  Chapter 1074 Geng Zijuan accepts disciples, gift words

  For a moment, Feng Ziying didn't know what to do, so she could only help her up and said dryly: "Okay, okay..., Brother Lang, get up..."

   Seeing Feng Ziying raised his hand to help her, Jia Lan got up gracefully, and after bowing, she stood aside, as if waiting for Feng Ziying's instruction.

Seeing this situation, Feng Ziying knew that if she didn't say a few words to the other party, it would be a bit hard to justify it, so she pondered for a while before saying: "The words just now were just because of the three younger children of your Jia family. And it’s not appropriate to give it to you if you say it casually, um, how about this, I’ll give you a word, don’t be surprised, watch the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court; stay or leave, look at the clouds in the sky.”

  This sentence is like a drum in the evening and a bell in the morning, hitting Jia Lan's defense.

As the eldest grandson of the second wife of the Jia family, because of her father's early death, although Jia Lan has the protection of her mother, her position in the Rongguo Mansion is extremely embarrassing. Fang's second uncle Bao, when it comes to reading, has his own Fanghuan third uncle. After all the calculations, Jia Lan found that he had become a somewhat redundant person.

  Especially the pampering of the ancestors to Uncle Bao is unparalleled in the mansion. The reason why Third Uncle Huan left the mansion to study hard at Qingtan Academy is probably because Uncle Bao was too favored in the mansion.

It's just that Third Uncle Huan is from a concubine, so it's fair to say that he was slighted, but he is a descendant from a direct line, and his father is still the eldest son, but it is still difficult to get even the slightest benefit from Uncle Bao from his ancestors and grandparents. Jalan, who grew up in such a big family, felt unbearable.

But reality is stronger than people. No matter what absurd things Second Uncle Bao does, he will be unanimously protected by the whole house. Looking at the various looks that Uncle Huan received in the mansion, Jia Lan also feels the same way. Uncle really studied and passed the exam, and he was afraid that the cold reception would slowly transfer to him, which also made Jia Lan feel very worried.

The same mother's teachings and exhortations also made him realize that he can't compete with Uncle Bao, and the only way out is to follow the example of Uncle Huan, study well, and get admitted to Jinshi, so that he can get rid of being judged by others. A situation of manipulation and superciliousness.

It’s just that Third Uncle Huan climbed onto Uncle Feng’s thick legs early on. From the beginning of his studies to Uncle Feng’s persuasion to Uncle Huan, Jia Lan was extremely envious of him, but he couldn’t find a suitable opportunity to get closer to him. The relationship with Feng Shishu.

He has also told his mother many times about the difficulties he is facing in studying in the ethnology. The teachers hired in the ethnology are now because Uncle Bao and others don't pay attention to their studies, so the professors have to muddle through. Jia Lan also obviously felt it. The gap between himself and Uncle Huan, who was studying outside, was getting bigger and bigger, but his age and lack of status as a scholar made him confined to the mansion, which made Jia Lan very anxious.

Today he heard his grandfather mentioned that Uncle Feng might be going to the mansion, and when he saw that Uncle Bao and Uncle Huan were coming to meet him at the gate of the mansion, he took the initiative to follow the two uncles. Looking at it with admiration, I am afraid that the impression will be deeper than when he showed his face in front of Feng Shishu in the past few years.

At this moment, when Jia Lan heard that Uncle Feng had given him a single message, Jia Lan's heart felt warm, his nose became sore, and his eyes turned red. After chewing the words of Uncle Feng's gift, he bowed again and said with a sob: " Thank you Uncle Shi for your words, my nephew will definitely remember them in my heart and never forget them.”

"You don't need to be like this. I know that although you are young, you have ambition. Your mother told me several times. I intended to find an opportunity to talk to you, to listen to you talk about your wishes,... "

Feng Ziying pondered for a while, seeing that the other party's red eyes were full of admiration, from the bottom of her heart, if she sent a few words casually, it seemed a bit too cold, so she said: "Today is just right, you are sincere Willing to read?"

  Jia Lan was overjoyed for a while, and before Jia Baoyu and Jia Huan could react, he fell to the ground and knocked his head three times: "Disciple Jia Lan, I have seen Master."

"That's all, my age and experience were not enough to accept me as a student, but Brother Lang, your mother has said it many times, and you have the desire to learn, so I will reluctantly accept you as a student." Feng Ziying waved her hand, motioning for Jia Lan to get up, but Jia Lan refused to get up easily, just choked up and sobbed, "This disciple sincerely admires Master, and at this moment, he can get his long-cherished wish, and he doesn't know what to do for a while..."

   "Okay, get up, I'm not a famous teacher, but I have some connections with your Jia family, and you also have this ambition, it's just a coincidence."

  Feng Ziying suddenly got such a student, and she couldn't turn the corner for a while, but the matter has come to this point, but she can't regret it, she can only pretend to be indifferent.

  Jia Lan just stood up and stood aside respectfully.

   At this time, Baoyu and Jia Huan came to their senses and came over to express their gratitude and congratulations with their hands clasped together.

It's just that although Baoyu felt a little complicated, he still expressed his sincere thanks and congratulations, but Jia Huan felt a little indescribable in his heart, feeling that suddenly his position in Brother Feng's mind was threatened by someone, just In this situation, he couldn't say anything, but he knew a little more about the scheming of his nephew.

"By the way, tell your mother about the situation after you go back." Feng Ziying is not worried that Li Wan will have any objections, but it is too late for joy, "But I will be an official in Yongping Mansion in the near future, and I may not be able to do it in the short term. Returning to Beijing, even if I am busy with business in Beijing, I may not have much time to teach you. Well, in this way, my former teacher Jingyi at Qingtan Academy has resigned from the teaching position of the academy, and there are other arrangements when returning to Beijing. My brother also knows Mr. Zhou Chaozong, Jingyi is also outstanding in the academy. I will write a book. When you take this letter, you will spend more time studying with him in this year or so. Time He has arrangements during the day, I'm afraid they can only be arranged at night,..."

   Jia Huan was almost mad with jealousy.

Zhou Chaozong is a master of classics and righteousness in Qingtan Academy. Even if Brother Feng specialized in tutoring scriptures under his school back then, he enjoyed a high reputation in the academy. Unexpectedly, Zhou Jiaoyu would resign and go to work in Beijing. Brother Feng didn't say that Zhou Jiaoyu What to do, Jia Huan did not dare to ask.

Hearing Feng Ziying's arrangement, Jia Lan was ecstatic. Master arranged for his teacher Jingyi to teach him, which really recognized him as a disciple. Even if he could not compare with Master in the future, it may not be He couldn't catch up with Uncle Huan's current level.

  Thinking of this, Jia Lan couldn't help choking and sobbing again, but couldn't speak for a while, and could only nod repeatedly with tears in his eyes.

Seeing this situation, Jia Huan felt as if he had knocked over the vinegar pot. He was no better than Baoyu in this regard, and he would also rush to the examinations to raise scholars in the autumn and spring. Now Lang Geer suddenly inserted a stick to ask Even if he can't get angry if he shares his favor with Brother Feng, he can't sit idly by and acquiesce.

It’s just that it’s definitely inappropriate to say something else at this time, but to make Brother Feng feel narrow-minded, so Jia Huan thought for a while, and said: “Brother Feng, you can’t treat one more favorably than another. You have to leave the classic gift words here, little brother,..."

Feng Ziying glanced at Jia Huan, and said lightly: "I said, naturally you will keep your promise. I think that although you have made great progress in your studies after you arrived at the academy, you should be more calm when you move your body. Why do I not?" Do you feel more impetuous?"

  Jia Huan froze, realized that Brother Feng seemed to have seen something, and quickly lowered his head: "Brother Feng, if there is anything wrong with my younger brother, please teach Brother Feng."

Feng Ziying didn't say anything, but thought for a while before saying: "In adversity, the whole body is full of needles and medicine stones, and you don't realize it; in good times, you have weapons and spears in front of you, and you don't know it. I think It turns out that when you were studying hard in the mansion, you were like the former, but when you came to the academy, you read a lot of books, but you seem to have lost a lot of energy, like the latter, you should have a good taste."

   Jia Huan repeatedly chewed on the words Feng Ziying added to himself, and the more he chewed, the more frightened he felt.

When I went to the academy to study, I met many friends and classmates, and my grades got better and better. It was inevitable that I was a little complacent and high-spirited, and I seemed to be a bit high-profile in my daily life. Even the third sister was reminding myself , but I didn't seem to care about it. It wasn't until Brother Feng reminded me today that I felt that it was indeed a bit too much.

Seeing Jia Huan's serious face, Feng Ziying felt a little satisfied. Huan Laosan is like this. I started to show off, and I don't think about it, you haven't even passed the Juren exam yet, so you are so arrogant, is this to make Mrs. Wang find an excuse to deal with you?

  Pressing down an unfilial hat can make you unable to turn over for the rest of your life. No matter what, you have to pass the Qiuwei exam before talking about other things, can't you? Just such a small amount of city government equipment?

"Baoyu, I am also going to give you a word. Although it is different from the two of them, I think it may be more in line with your temperament. If you have no desire for material things, you will be in the autumn sky and the sea; if you sit with a piano book, you will become a stone chamber." Feng Ziying noticed that Baoyu was interested in the words he gave to Jialan Jiahuan, and also smiled and said: "I hope you can appreciate the true meaning of it and pursue what you want. Brother Feng will always support you."

   Baoyu, who was savoring the true meaning of the words, his eyes lit up, and suddenly wanted to say something, but finally nodded silently.
