"Mother"
"Baoyu is already twelve years old"
"The age of a child is not a child"
"Today, we need to ask him what good things he has done."
Facing the gaze of Lady Jia, Jia Zheng said solemnly with a straight face.
As a pedantic person, he has always adhered to the educational methods in Confucian classics, so he naturally cannot tolerate Jia Baoyu doing things that ruin the family reputation.
"you..."
At this moment, Jia's mother was also angry at her second son who didn't know how to adapt.
Others couldn't understand it, but couldn't Jia Zheng?
Once Lady Wang and Jia Baoyu were exposed in front of everyone, could the second house still sit in Rongxi Hall without any worries?
By then, the order of Rongguo Mansion would be in chaos. In order to deceive the royal family, they had been making a joke of reversing the order for decades. Could it be that it would be exposed now? This was something Jia's mother didn't want to see.
""Second brother, what you said is very true!"
Even Jia She had to give Jia Zheng a thumbs up, what a saint!’
"........."
Jia Zhen, Jia Lian and the others looked a little strange, as if they were trying to hold back their laughter.
"Let me go, what are you going to do with me?"
Suddenly, the figure of Jia Baoyu was heard outside the hall. He was wearing a silver crown to hold his hair, a headband with a double dragon pattern on it, white python sleeves, a silver belt with pearls, his face was like a spring flower, his eyes were like lacquer, and who could not help but praise him as a rich and noble prince.
But seeing this look in Jia Zheng's eyes, he became more and more angry. Scholars have always been simple and elegant. This look was not the style of a scholar, but rather like a dandy who was seeking pleasure from women. He shouted angrily,"You evil creature, I've asked someone to bring you here, what do you want to do?"
"Master!"
When Jia Baoyu heard the voice, he didn't dare to look at Jia Zheng at all, and lowered his head, like a mouse seeing a cat.
"Baoyu"
"Let me ask you, what about men and women?"
Jia Xuan's sudden words attracted everyone's attention.
Hearing this, Jia Baoyu secretly glanced at Jia Xuan, as if he wanted to say something, but when he looked at Jia Zheng, he didn't dare to speak.
"Brother Xuan asks you a question"
"You answer first."
Jia Zheng said expressionlessly.
At this time, Jia Baoyu boldly stood in front of Lin Daiyu and said loudly:"Girls are made of water, and boys are made of mud. I feel refreshed when I see girls, but I feel a foul smell when I see boys."
‘?????’
The whole hall suddenly fell silent. Jia Zheng's eyes widened, somewhat unable to believe that these words came out of his son's mouth.
It turned out that when Jia Baoyu was one year old, the Jia family put countless good things on display and asked him to grab them. Unexpectedly, he refused to take any of them. He just stretched out his hands to grab some cosmetics, hairpins and rings to play with them. Jia Zheng was not happy and said that he would be a drunkard and a womanizer in the future. In addition, Jia's grandmother loved him deeply, so he did not cherish him much.
But who would have thought that Jia Baoyu was now twelve years old, so naughty, smart and perceptive that he could utter such words.
If outsiders heard it, wouldn't it be said that the Jia family had a playboy who only knew how to have fun with women.
Jia Zhen, Jia Rong, Youshi, and Qin Keqing were all a little surprised. On weekdays, they only knew that Master Bao from the West Mansion was absurd, but they didn't know that he was so absurd.
"Humph!"
Jia She waved his sleeves without even looking at Jia Baoyu.
Only Mrs. Xing, Wang Xifeng, Jia Lian, and Li Wan seemed to have gotten used to it and were not surprised.
"Baoyu, let me ask you again"
"How about being an official? How about taking the imperial examination and becoming an official?"
Jia Xuan casually set a trap for Jia Baoyu.
At this time, Jia Baoyu saw that everyone was focusing on him. Jia Zheng did not scold him. He thought that what he said won the support of the whole hall, and his voice became louder and louder:"Some people who only know economics and seek fame have become traitors and greedy ghosts. These are all the corrupt people who made trouble for no reason in the past and made up their words to guide the future generations."
"I didn't expect that I would be born in such misfortune, and that even my boudoirs would be infected by this trend. I really failed the grace of the world that has endowed them with such talent and beauty." As soon as the words fell
, everyone in the Rong Xi Hall couldn't help but look at him sideways.
It would not be surprising if such words came from a sour scholar or a corrupt scholar, but it was different when they came from Jia Baoyu, a member of the Jia family.
The Jia family has three dukes. In Ningguo Mansion, Jia Jing was a Jinshi in Yimao year and ranked first in the list of top scorers. Jia Zheng especially loved to study literature and specialized in Confucian classics, but he failed in the imperial examination. The emperor, for the sake of the Jia family, rewarded him with the position of Director of the Ministry of Works, and later promoted him to Deputy Director of the Ministry of Works.
Jia Zhu, the son of Jia Zheng, passed the imperial examination at a young age and was diligent and studious, so he died early.
It can be said that Jia Baoyu's words not only scolded the two mansions, but also blasphemed his deceased eldest brother.
"Evil, you...."Poof!"
Jia Zheng was so angry that his blood rushed up and he couldn't help but spit out a large mouthful of blood.
"master!"
"Uncle Zheng!"
"Zheng'er!"
All the Jia family members were horrified when they saw this. Even Mrs. Wang wanted to step forward to support him, but Jia Zheng pushed her away. He sat on the chair beside him, trembling, and said with a gloomy look,"I didn't know I gave birth to such a rebellious son. I am unworthy of being a father."
"Uncle, Brother Bao is still young, it was just a joke."
Wang Xifeng wanted to smooth things over and started to talk.
However, before she could finish, Jia Zheng mocked himself and said,"He is twelve years old, still young. Brother Xuan was sixteen years old and went to the battlefield to fight for the country."
"But he was full of foul language, which was unbearable to hear."
"Listen to those words, are those words something a human being could say?"
"What should the Jia family and Brother Jing do? How can Zhu'er rest in peace in the underworld?"
Hearing this, Li Wan's pretty face showed sadness. Unconsciously, her husband had passed away for a long time.
Jia's mother on the couch could not sit still and said,"Zheng'er, it's just a joke, why do you care so much?"
"Baoyu is a good child. He loves his sisters and cares about family affection. He will grow up in the future."
"Mother!"
Jia Zheng was filial to begin with, and when he heard what Grandmother Jia said, he could only hold back his anger in his heart, unable to express it.
The others all shook their heads. Even so, she still had to cover up for Jia Baoyu. Grandmother Jia was indeed worthy of being his biological grandmother.
It was a pity that Jia Xuan did not indulge Jia Baoyu's habit, and sneered:"You care for your sisters and take into account family affection, but I can't see it, right?"
"When Baoyu was in the inner courtyard, he often hung out with the maids. He had never been unaware of the rouge on their lips."
"I see that his primordial Yang has already leaked, so I think he has already had sex."
What?
Hearing this, everyone in the Jia family looked at Jia Baoyu with different expressions, staring at him intently.
It was just some rouge, harmless, and there were countless children of noble families who did this.
But he leaked his primordial Yang at the age of twelve, especially when the Jia family was a military family, how could this be possible?!
"The evildoer has not yet come to you. Who on earth did you do this with?"
Jia Zheng suddenly slapped the chair beside him, straightened up again, and glared at Jia Baoyu.
"me..."
Jia Baoyu was so frightened that he almost cried and didn't know what to do.
""Xiren, right!"
Jia Xuan smiled and uttered a name.
Mrs. Xing, Wang Xifeng, and Li Wan's eyes lit up. Xiren was the head of the maids in Jia Baoyu's room. She was sold to the Jia Mansion because of her poor family. She was originally a maid of Jia's mother, and later served Shi Xiangyun for several years. Jia's mother liked Xiren's pure heart and fulfilled her duties, so she gave her to Baoyu.
She was gentle and pretty, and did things properly. Even Mrs. Wang was very satisfied.
"Come, bring Xiren here."
Seeing Jia Baoyu's evasive look, Jia Zheng knew what was going on and gave another order.
"Yes."
The doorman and the servant in front of the hall left in a hurry without saying anything.
"Xuan Ge Er"
"I know you are close to Lin Yatou, but what's wrong with Baoyu being close to his sisters?"
"It's just a quarrel between children. How can it become so filthy in your mouth?"
Grandmother Jia asked Jia Xuan in a serious manner.
From the perspective of an elder, Grandmother Jia's words seemed to be a censure to Jia Xuan, which made everyone think about it.
"Grandmother, you are wrong!"
Lin Daiyu stood up again, wearing a blood-stained light blue brocade skirt, which made her look even more solemn and cold, making it hard to ignore her.
"Yu'er?!"
Grandmother Jia's wrinkled face was full of doubts, and the majesty of the old lady of the Jia family for decades was revealed.
The eyes of the entire Rong Xi Tang were focused on Lin Daiyu. Could the only daughter of the Lin family withstand such pressure?
Facing Grandmother Jia's oppression, Lin Daiyu gritted her teeth, and her little face, which had gradually revealed her stunning beauty, was full of determination. She said crisply:"Mencius: Li Lou Shang: Men and women should not touch each other, and etiquette is also"
"《The Book of Rites says:"When men and women are differentiated, then the father and son are close. When the father and son are close, then righteousness is born. When righteousness is born, then the ritual is established. When the ritual is established, then all things are at peace. Without differentiation and righteousness, it is the way of animals.""
"May I ask, Grandmother, has the Jia family ever studied?"
Boom!!!"
As soon as this word fell, everyone in the room was shocked. This was undoubtedly an accusation of Jia Baoyu's behavior, and it was also using the iron-like classics of the ancient sages to refute what Grandmother Jia said.
No one expected that Lin Daiyu not only became decisive and ruthless in her heart, but also sharp in her words, and even more than Jia Zheng in citing classics. They remembered that Lin Daiyu was the daughter of Lin Ruhai, the top scholar.
""Haha!"
Mrs. Wang had already gnashed her teeth with hatred. Lin Daiyu's words completely nailed Jia Baoyu to the identity of a playboy.
From then on, Jia Baoyu would never be able to wash away this identity in his lifetime, not to mention the Jia family, the capital, or even the country. How could he have the opportunity to strive for progress?
"Yuer"
"You are more like Min'er after all."
Sitting on the couch, Jia's mother looked at the graceful Lin Daiyu, and memories appeared in her old eyes.
This scene made many people present fall into confusion. Why didn't Jia's mother get angry, but showed such a look?
Jia She seemed to have thought of something, and couldn't help but look at Jia Zheng. The hearts of the two brothers were stirred.
"Yuer"
"Uncle is sorry for you, my sister and Ru Hai."
"I didn't know you went to the East Palace, and this wicked boy still dared to pester me.
Jia Zheng bowed deeply to Lin Daiyu, his face full of guilt.
"Second uncle!"
This move not only made Lin Daiyu pale, but others could not believe that Jia Zheng, as an elder, would pay such a great tribute to Lin Daiyu, a junior.
Even Jia Xuan had a new idea about the head of the second house of Rongguo Mansion. Now it seems that Jia Zheng is not hopeless.
"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step; a dam of a hundred miles is breached by an ant hole"
"Old lady, do you think that no one in the whole house knows what you are thinking?"
"You want to find him a rich and noble life for the rest of his life. A daughter of a noble family, a close relative, nothing could be better than this."
"But look, are the others willing?"
Pointing at Jia Baoyu, Jia Xuan glanced at Mrs. Wang, and a cold smile appeared on his lips:"After all, she is a stupid and foolish woman from a small family. If she had one tenth of your shrewdness, this family would not be like this."
"Alas!!"
Grandmother Jia couldn't help but look at Madam Wang, her originally old face seemed to have aged even more. She had been scheming all her life, for what? To keep the Jia family going and the Rong family prosperous. But in the end, all her scheming was in vain, ruined by the second daughter-in-law whom she had personally decided to marry. What a twist of fate!
"Mother, you...."
Jia Zheng looked at his mother, then at Mrs. Wang, and everything was clear.
The former wanted to find a good match for Jia Baoyu and let him go to the East Palace, while the latter disliked Lin Daiyu, so she ordered people to throw dirty water on him. All of this was because of the son he gave birth to. Now, Jia Zheng has regretted why he didn't strangle Jia Baoyu.
Even the look in his eyes when he looked at Jia Baoyu was full of murderous intent. This is a stain that he can never erase in his life.
"There are some things that I didn't have time to explain. Uncle Lin only said in the letter that he would ask the family to take good care of Miss Lin."
"Uncle She, Uncle Zheng, don't you understand?"
With cold eyes, Jia Xuan scanned the people in the hall, his expression full of disdain.
From top to bottom, they were a bunch of useless people who could do nothing but cause trouble. They wasted great opportunities on unnecessary things, and gave away the favors left by their ancestors one after another to outsiders as if they were free. They even handed over such an important position as the governor of the Beijing camp.
As a result, the Jia family had no military power at all, and could only be slaughtered and exploited by others.
In the capital, the founding lineage, the Yuancong lineage, and even the civil servants, never looked down on the Jia family. If they had 50,000 troops in the Beijing camp, Emperor Yongping would be in trouble. They all have to consider whether their bodies are strong enough.
Who is Lin Daiyu? She is the only legitimate daughter of the Lin family, and she is also the last"gift" that Lin Ruhai uses to complete the Jia family.
Once Lin Ruhai dies, all the family property will be entrusted to the hands of the Jia family. As an orphan of the Lin family, Lin Daiyu will definitely be looked at by Emperor Yongping. It is reasonable for the royal family to give her some care and protection.
But Lin Daiyu died in the Jia family, and ended in an indescribable sad way. Not to mention other people taking advantage of the situation, who among the Yongping emperor and the civil officials can spare the Jia family?.
