[Red Mansion] The third master of jade-like stone treasures

He said he was going to school, but in fact Bao Cong went to play truant every day like Xue Pan after he went there for two days.

As long as Jia Zheng doesn't ask, Jia Dairu actually doesn't care.

The first time Baoyu saw Baocong skipping school, he was surprised for a while, but then he was ecstatic.

Now he might have shown off how much better he is than Bao Cong!

Therefore, when talking to Lin Daiyu, Jia Mu, he inadvertently mentioned Bao Cong playing truant from school and playing business with Xue Pan outside.

Mother Jia was naturally displeased when she heard this, she said a few words about Baocong's naughtiness, and then ignored it.

After all, she didn't have any academic expectations for Bao Cong, and she thought it would be good for him and Xue Pan to learn some market economics. To be a rich man, one must know how to manage property, right?

Lin Daiyu was listening, frowning, feeling a little puzzled.

She didn't believe that well, Bao Cong would do such things as playing truant.Maybe there is something wrong with homework, or there are other more important things to be busy outside.

It's just doing business... Xue's family is an imperial merchant, and it's more honorable. Other people who do business can be regarded as merchants.For a family like Rongguo Mansion, the family property is handed over to the shopkeeper's servants.How could Baocong think of going into business by himself?

Seeing Lin Daiyu's expression, Baoyu thought that she disliked Baocong's business, and was very happy. Since then, she has been more active in going to home to study.

In the evening, when Bao Cong went back to his residence, he went to see Lin Daiyu as usual, and Lin Daiyu asked him about playing truant.

Sure enough, Bao Cong explained: "There is a bit of a mess in the family school. Mr. Jia doesn't care about his age. He just reads the textbooks in class. It's not very interesting. Why don't you come back and study with you!"

Lin Daiyu smiled and said: "I didn't see you come back to study with me, but I heard that you and Brother Xue are learning to do business!"

Bao Cong asked in surprise, "Who did you hear that from?"

Lin Daiyu said, "Baoyu came back to tell you." Holding the handkerchief again, her eyes rolled around and she said with a smile, "I don't know, when did you like doing business again?"

If you talk about the root cause, it would be too much effort to explain. Bao Cong didn't think about what to say, so he just said: "Where do you like doing business? When I was young, I carved too many messy stones and piled them up in the room. I couldn’t let it go, so I just moved out and sold it.”

He said again: "Didn't my grandpa Wu become crippled last year? Now, setting up a store and letting him be the shopkeeper for the elderly care can kill two birds with one stone."

Lin Daiyu nodded after hearing this, and said, "You and Madam Wu's family are on good terms. Sheyue came to talk the day before yesterday and said that Baoyu was angry with Madam Li and wanted to kick her out!"

Baocong lives with Baoyu, why doesn't he know about that?

So he sneered and said, "Although Baoyu has passed away, Nanny Li is too disrespectful." He explained to Lin Daiyu: "I said at the time that she had taken care of Baoyu for many years, and she couldn't be kicked out. , it is better to give some generous gifts, so as to send her home to retire."

"Guess what? Li Nanny insisted on not going. She ran to his wife and cried for a while, saying that she took Baoyu as her heart and soul, and if she left, she would be dug out of her heart, and would die or live."

"Ah?" Lin Daiyu was taken aback and became curious, "What happened later? What did your wife say?"

Baocong said: "What else can I say? I have to appease her and let her stay by Baoyu's side!"

Lin Daiyu was taken aback when she heard this, and then burst out laughing suddenly!

Seeing that she was half-covering her handkerchief and smiling really nicely, Bao Cong couldn't help asking: "What are you laughing at?"

Lin Daiyu laughed for a long time, then put down the handkerchief she was covering, stretched out her slender fingers, nodded her head, and said cheerfully, "I'm laughing at myself!"

"If Nanny Li was kicked out, why did I see her yesterday? I really asked you that question for nothing!"

Bao Cong was also amused, and said happily, "My sister is really interesting. You can be as silly and happy without drinking as if you were drunk. In the future, when we go out to a banquet, I can have an extra glass of wine, and take my sister's wine." I also ate that glass of wine!"

As soon as Lin Daiyu was teased, she became annoyed. She stood up and threw herself at Bao Cong to tickle her body, "You're just drunk! How dare you laugh at me!"

Bao Cong laughed while avoiding the itch, and kept pulling Lin Daiyu from time to time to prevent her from knocking and falling.

After retreating to the rocking chair where Lin Daiyu often lays, Bao Cong might trip over one of them, pulling Lin Daiyu and both of them rolled into the rocking chair!

Lin Daiyu finally pinched Bao Cong's waist, scratched it hard a few times, then pinched the soft flesh lightly, and half sat up panting, half annoyed and half playful, and said, "See if you still laugh at me!"

How dare Bao Cong make fun of her? Lin Daiyu's black hair is disheveled, her usual pale face is powdery, and her eyes are like crescent moons when she smiles, she is so beautiful!

Seeing that Bao Cong didn't answer, but just stared at her, Lin Daiyu was inexplicably embarrassed, straightened her clothes and hair, stood up proudly and said, "What are you looking at!"

Bao Cong was naturally shameless, and said with a smile: "My sister is beautiful, like a little fairy!" Lin Daiyu instantly blushed!

The next day, Bao Cong went to drink with Xue Pan again.

Bao Cong found out that although Xue Pan is a bastard, he is really good to his relatives, relatives and friends.

Some time ago he cheated Xue Pan of 500 taels of silver, but Xue Pan knew that he wanted to solicit business, and led him to meet many dudes and business owners, all of whom were rich.

He doesn't need to promote it himself, when Yushixuan opens, no matter for Xue Pan, or for the sake of him, the son of the Rongguo mansion, everyone he knows or not will come to the door.Many people didn't even ask the price, and just chose one or two pieces of jade to buy.

Bao Cong realized how easy it is for a wealthy family to do business, anyway, he doesn't have to worry about his Yushixuan.Not only did he not have to worry about it, but he also had to ask a few carvers to carve more jade, lest there were not enough in the store to sell.

One day, Feng Ziying passed by the alley street, remembering Xue Pan's introduction to him, so she stopped by Yushixuan for a stroll.

Bao Cong happened to be in the store, and when he saw that it was Feng Ziying, he didn't fool him, so he asked Father Wu to show him the jade he had carved himself.

Because the business was good before, he had sold a lot of his own engravings, and Bao Cong picked some good ones left, and asked Mr. Wu to put them away, and then sold them when people he knew came.

After all, the jade he carved is exquisite and has attributes, so it cannot be sold at will.

Feng Ziying is the son of General Shenwu, he is bold and capable of both civil and military skills.Bao Cong happened to have engraved a few small jade swords that he held in his hand for playing with, some of which had added strength, so he showed them to Feng Ziying.

Feng Ziying really liked it so much, she bought all the small swords, and planned to go home and string them together with silk thread, so that she could hang them around her waist and play with them all the time.

Bao Cong felt that he didn't look like a dude like Xue Pan, so he asked him if there was any good teacher and which private school he went to study.

Feng Ziying didn't have a good impression of Xue Pan and the people from Ningrong's two mansions, and his father told him not to associate with them, so he gradually distanced himself from them.

Now listening to Bao Cong asking about the teaching teacher, I was surprised, and secretly said: "I have seen other people in Ning Rong's Second House, all of them are either hypocritical or reckless. Same."

Bao Cong asked sincerely, and Feng Ziying replied sincerely: "I went to study at the home of my father's family friends. In addition to official studies, the children of our rich and noble families are either taught by ourselves, or sent to study at home, or Invite professors from acquaintances, rarely go to private schools outside."

"One is that most of the teachers outside are just scholars and can't teach much. The other is that the classmates are all from poor backgrounds. Let's not say it when we go, and the elders will pass it on. It's not good."

Speaking of Jiangnan, Shandong and other places, there are one or two good academies, but it is too far away, and it is difficult for them to go.

Bao Cong thinks about it too. In ancient times, studying was costly and time-consuming, and the aristocrats of the aristocratic families took advantage of cultural, financial, and personal connections.Like Ruan Zhongwen, the impoverished family has a juren, and the probability of winning the lottery is comparable to that of winning the lottery.

He was in the Rongguo Mansion, and it was his luck to find Ruan Zhongwen to teach him for a few years. When he went outside and searched around, did he really think that he could easily meet a good gentleman again!

So he smiled and said: "If you have the opportunity to ask Brother Feng for advice, don't be stingy with Brother Feng!"

Feng Ziying smiled and said, "It's not enough to teach me, I'm also knowledgeable, let's discuss it together."

Bao Cong was about to invite Feng Ziying out for dinner again, but Chen Ping hurried in.He was about to say something, but when he saw Feng Ziying was there, he hesitated to speak.

Seeing this, Feng Ziying was about to leave, so Bao Cong sent him all the way out the door, and made an appointment to have dinner with him another day.

After returning to Yushixuan, Chen Ping reported to Bao Cong: "There is a fight in the family school! Someone bullied Mr. Qin, Baoyu protected him and refused, so Mingyan rushed in and made a move. The old man is not here, and Master Rui can't suppress it!" People, I'm afraid it's going to be a lively fight now!"

It turned out that even though Bao Cong played truant, he still asked people to pay attention to the family school all the time, and told Chen Ping to report as soon as there was any movement in the family school.

Bao Cong was waiting for them to make trouble, and when he heard that the family school was fighting, he was not worried, but happily said, "It's good to fight! The more lively the fight, the better!"

So he went out quickly, rode his horse, and was going to join in the fun at the family school and make things bigger.Suddenly thinking about it, he stopped again.

Why did he fight and make Jia Zheng more famous and punish him?

It's better to file a complaint directly and let Jia Zheng go and see the mess of Jiaxue himself!

Thinking about it, Bao Cong pulled the horse rope and went directly to the house.
