Jia Zheng thought for a while and said:

"Baoyu is not young anymore, he is placed far away in the garden, it is inconvenient to be disciplined, he should also move out and choose a yard to live in like his elder brother, as far away as possible from the sisters, he can take care of him."

Obviously, Jia Zheng still did not give up on urging Baoyu to study.

"Besides, since Yu'er wakes up early every day and you eat breakfast, you can ask Baoyu to come with her. Just get used to getting up early, how can you be so lazy!"

Mrs. Wang did not refute.

Her starting point is different from Jia Zheng's. What she wants is to let Baoyu and Yu'er have more time and opportunities to spend time together, so that the two little brothers can increase their relationship.

They are both her own children, of course she hopes that they will have a harmonious relationship. Now that no one cares about the other, it makes her feel uncomfortable to see, but she dare not persuade anyone directly, for fear of making the other party feel unhappy and their relationship will be even worse. Far.

Jia Zheng finished his breakfast in a hurry and went to the Yamen. The concubine of his daughter did not bring much glory to the family. up court.

Before going out, he told Jia Yu that he would take him to visit some old relatives in a few days, and the gentleman who invited him today would also come, so he told him not to be rude.

Jia Yu responded, sent Jia Zheng away, and went back to Mrs. Wang's room to talk to her.

"Mother, you should take this money back. Sister Feng asked someone to send monthly money to my son. My son has some money to use."

Madam Wang smiled:

"Your elder sister Feng is very considerate. You just need to remember her favors. If you give it to you, you should take it. That's what you should take. As for this is something your mother gave you, you can just spend it. Although your mother can't Calling you rich and powerful, but it is still possible to live a rich life.”

"The son has grown up, it's wrong not to be filial to his mother, how can he take money from his mother again, the son can't take it!"

"What a silly boy, don't mother's things belong to you and Baoyu? If you don't spend it on you, who will you spend it on? There is an old lady in Baoyu's place to make up for the lack of money, but you have suffered a lot before, and now mother only I can give you more money to make your money easier."

Thinking of Jia Yu's sufferings these years, Mrs. Wang's heart ached again.

Jia Yu didn't dare to push anymore:

"My son is fine, just accept the money, mother, don't be sad, take care of yourself!"

I went to the old lady to say hello, and the old lady praised him for his hard work, and rewarded him with a set of gold ornaments, a golden crown for hair, forehead and... a collar.

Jia Yu was a little speechless, he was so old, why would he still wear this?

The gift from the elders is irresistible, so I had to thank him, and went to the study again after leaving.

In fact, he can recite all the books fluently, the only difference now is that the interpretation and stereotyped essays need more practice.

Not long after Jia Yu left, Li Wan came to greet Mrs. Wang.

It's not that she's lazy, she's only getting up now.

Li Wan has been a widow for many years, and she has long learned to read people's faces. She has long since found that her new brother-in-law is uncomfortable in the same room as her, and she understands that he is different from Baoyu in that he is a respectful and serious scholar.

So in order to avoid him, I would like to ask you to come back after he left in the morning, so as not to make him feel uncomfortable and make Mrs. Wang unhappy.

Sure enough, Mrs. Wang never reprimanded her for coming late, and she was very satisfied with her understanding.

Seeing this, Li Wan was a little happy, and flattered:

"Brother Yu is so knowledgeable, my daughter-in-law often tells Brother Lang that she wants to learn from his uncle. One day, Brother Yu can ask Brother Lang to ask for advice when he is free."

Mrs. Wang immediately put down her face:

"Lan'er has just been enlightened not long ago, and studying ethnology is enough. Yu'er will end next year and study hard every day. Where can I have time to teach Lan'er?"

The status of a son and a grandson are different. In the original book, no matter how silent Jia Baoyu is, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang are also counting on him, never thinking of counting on the eldest grandson Jia Lan.

Li Wan knew that he was wrong in flattering, so he hurriedly admitted his mistake in panic. Mrs. Wang was in a good mood and she didn't have the same knowledge as her, so she just told her to stay away from her eyes.

The ethnology school ends early, and usually they can go back home after lunch at school.

After Jia Baoyu came back, he greeted Mrs. Wang. Mrs. Wang gently asked him about today's situation. Jia Baoyu said angrily:

"The wife still knows how to care about her son, but the son thinks that the wife only has brother Yu in her heart, and doesn't remember her son!"

Mrs. Wang said angrily:

"Are you still arguing with your brother about this? I have cared about you for 15 years, and how many days have I cared about your brother?"

Jia Baoyu was not very happy.

Mrs. Wang sighed: "Furthermore, you were the youngest who was originally planned to be adopted by the third bedroom. It was only because you were born with jade, and the old lady said you had great fortune, so she kept you and chose your brother. It's a pity that you still have to throw jade all the time, if it wasn't for that jade and your brother, you would be the one who was sent away for 15 years!"

Jia Baoyu didn't know there was another one, so he sighed:

"It turns out that there is another reason. Then, don't I owe Brother Yu? No wonder Brother Yu didn't take the initiative to make friends with me. It's rare for someone who didn't come to look for me. I blame him for sharing his wife's care. Damn it! Madam, don’t worry, the next time my son goes out to meet friends, he will definitely bring Brother Yu with him, and we won’t argue with him again!”

His own son knew that Mrs. Wang didn't know that Baoyu had committed an idiot again.

But this is also good, if one is willing to bow his head first and make concessions, the relationship between the two can be restored as soon as possible.nod:

"It's good that you can take him with you, so as not to look down on him and bully him in the countryside!"

Baoyu felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavy, and he solemnly assured Mrs. Wang that he would take good care of this "brother".

But Jia Yu, who is separated from the crowd, actually has no feelings for Jia Baoyu, whether it is evil or kindness.

He always regarded himself as a spectator, except Mrs. Wang, he treated everyone else the same.

But the things that should be done are still to be done, such as observing the etiquette of this world, being filial to the elders, studying and getting honors, etc., he only considers all these as game tasks or main tasks.

Jia Yu’s life is as ordinary as an old monk’s, with a fixed daily schedule. During the day, she buryes her head in a book, or discusses with her husband, or asks her husband to write an article. , Talk to Boss Cang about the boring things of the day, relax, and let him "coax him to sleep".

Jia Yu only knew that at night, he would go in if he thought about Boss Cang's name or his half-step shape in his heart, but he didn't know how to get out, so he had to wave Boss Cang's sleeves and fan him back.

This day is the fixed monthly greeting day for the wives. After Mrs. Wang finished explaining to Jia Yu, she put on makeup and followed the old lady into the palace to see Concubine Xiande.

Mrs. Wang was very excited, she couldn't wait to tell her after seeing Concubine Xiande that her other younger brother had also returned, and he was so promising.

Concubine Xiande didn't care at first, how could she have feelings for a younger brother whom she only met once?It's not like Baoyu, who has been taken care of by her for several years since she was a child, and she is comparable to being enlightened by herself.

It's just that I was a little concerned after hearing that the other party was already a Juren at a young age:

"It seems that brother Yu can still read, so that's great. If we can make the list in one fell swoop next year, our Jia family will be more honored!"

Mrs. Wang was very happy:

"The master said that if you invite people to read the articles he wrote, there is still a good chance of passing the exam. Besides, he is still young, as long as he is willing to work hard, he will always pass."

Concubine Xiande's enthusiasm has decreased a lot. She thinks that the mother's care about the adopted brother is probably why he thinks that he is good in everything. Be patient.

Mrs. Wang didn't notice Concubine Xiande's perfunctory, but the old lady came out and hurriedly interrupted to change the topic, and the atmosphere became better again.

There is a rule in the palace that when the time comes, the mother, daughter, grandparents and grandchildren will be reluctant to leave the palace. As a result, when Mrs. Wang sees that the Xiande concubine only rewards Jia Yu with some items and doesn't give her any guarantees, she feels very sad. Then I feel uncomfortable.

The things are just rosary beads, pens and paper, and silk and satin materials. Is there still a lack of these in the family?

She wanted her daughter to have a word with the emperor when she was favored, so that Yu'er could get the emperor's common sense in advance, so that she would have a better chance of winning in the palace examination in the future.

Yes, Jia Yu hasn't won the Gongshi yet, his mother has already started to worry about the palace examination for him in advance.

Back at the mansion, Mother Jia waved back the servants, and said angrily:

"It's a pity that you are also a mother, why don't you think about it for your mother? In order to deserve the word "virtuous", she didn't even mention Zheng'er to the emperor. How can she take the initiative to support a brother next door?"

Mother Jia is used to relying on women for everything, indulges her son and grandson, and is strict with her daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law. Now she actually counts on her granddaughter to honor the family, and she still doesn't want to count on her grandson.

"The old lady's lesson is that the daughter-in-law knows her mistake!"

Mrs. Wang dared not argue with the old lady, but she was not convinced in her heart.

How could she be wrong, how much money the family has given to the empress over the years, isn't it just for her to win a high position, now that she is in the top position, but can't seek any benefits for the family, this empress is probably just a good name .

Besides, why is Yu'er an outsider? He and Niangniang are brothers and sisters of the same family, so what's wrong with helping her?She didn't care about whether he was adopted or not, as long as the one who crawled out of her stomach was her own son.

She has given birth to three sons and a daughter in her life, and the one who loves her the most is her second son, Jia Yu, who has not enjoyed her blessings for 15 years. Now that mother and son are finally able to meet again, she will do everything in her power to make up for the lack of these 15 years She is not happy with anyone saying that Jia Yu is not good, even her daughter who has high hopes.

Give a sweet date with a slap in the face.

The old lady eased her tone:

"I know you love Yu'er. That child is lovely. Who wouldn't like it? It's just that the imperial examination is a big deal. It won't be too late to make a decision until he finishes participating in next year's Chunwei. If he really wins the Gongshi exam, then Shi Niangniang will have time to make another move."

Mrs. Wang said in shame:

"After all, it's the old lady who is thoughtful, but the daughter-in-law can't think of it. She's too impatient."

For a while, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were harmonious again.

After Jia Yu read a few pages of idle books at night, she asked the girl to blow out the candle, and lay down on the bed for "half a step".

"Boss Cang, I'm coming~"
