[Red Chamber] I just want to be a dummy
Chapter 23
"What? Jia Jing's words are well written in the book?" The crown prince didn't care whether to correct it or not, and went to Jia Daihua to complain to his junior brother.
In the end, it is more important whether the script is good-looking or not, and whether it can make the princess who is pregnant with the eldest grandson in the palace happy.
The crown prince definitely believed in his eighth brother's vision, after all, his eighth brother hid a large box of scripture books in his study.
If it weren't for this, the crown prince would not have risked being reprimanded by today and ruining his brother, and asked the eighth prince to accompany him to buy the script.
However, Jia Jing's words are well written, which is a bit unimaginable. Not to mention other things, but with Jia Jing's age and experience, it is impossible to write anything good.
Is Jia Jing still a child prodigy?Putting on a dandy look on weekdays just to cover up the brilliance of being a child prodigy?
The prince's heart is hot, because of Jia Daihua's relationship, Jia Jing can be regarded as the prince's younger brother, a natural princeling.
The prince thought about Gan Luo who was worshiped as Shangqing at the age of 12, and felt that if such a person with amazing talent appeared when he was governing the world, it would be enough to be praised by future generations.
"Shopkeeper, how much is this book, I'll buy it." The eighth prince was almost insane after reading half of it, so he didn't care that he was originally here to accompany the prince to buy the book.
I just thought, pay the money and buy the script, and read it again after returning to the palace.
Originally, when a scholar came to sell the book, the bookstore would take the original manuscript or engrave it, or have someone copy the basics, and then sell it.
But the shopkeeper saw the nobleness of the two masters, and felt that Jia Jing's words were only so good that these two masters with strange eyes would find them good-looking.
Therefore, I didn't say anything about reprinting, and I didn't dare to cheat these two men who looked at their rich backgrounds, so I only quoted the price of an ordinary Chinese book, "One tael of silver."
"Shopkeeper, you are not being kind. Such a good book, how can it be worth more money? What's more, I heard that when Jia Jing came to sell it, it was only ten taels of silver?"
The eighth prince doesn't know much about money, anyway, he is a prince, and he doesn't want to be big, so if he has no money, someone will send it to him.
It's just that the things you like can't be measured by money in the first place, but now that they are measured by money, they must have a high price.
What's more, if the eighth prince is not favored, he is still a prince. How can he let the people under him lose money? This is not a fall in fame.
But what the eighth prince didn't expect was that the shopkeeper of the bookstore had already regarded the eighth prince as the second generation ancestor who was stupid and rich.
"Okay, okay, the villain's price is unfair, what do you think is a good price, my master?" The shopkeeper didn't have the slightest intention to argue, he had seen this kind of second-generation ancestor a lot.
Now no matter what price you quote him, this second generation ancestor will think you look down on him, and you will raise it yourself.
After a few days of recovery, I felt that I had been cheated. It is not uncommon for those with a good temper to come to pay back the money, and those with a bad temper to smash the store.
The shopkeeper felt that he was too old and couldn't stand this kind of trouble, so he only agreed with the eighth prince.
"That's fine, I don't want to take advantage of you. Those of you who run a shop need to make some money anyway, let's just say 20 taels." The Eighth Prince commented and gave a price that he thought was reasonable.
The shopkeeper took a look at the eighth prince, look, as expected, this is the second generation ancestor, he guessed it accurately, "Okay, okay, just follow this master."
The prince was stupefied, and the eighth prince had already bought the book, "Eighth Brother, are you in a hurry to read this book? Why don't you lend it to me first?"
Today I went through all the books in the bookstore, and they were all the words of the princess, only this one written by Jia Jing was left, and even my eighth brother said it was good.
The prince thought about the concubine's dizzy vomiting and grumpy appearance, so he decided to put down his face and ask the eighth prince to borrow it first.
The Eighth Prince loves this script very much, but he succumbed to the crown prince's power, so the Eighth Prince still gave up this script.
The left and right princesses and sister-in-laws have only watched it for a few days, and it will be fine if they don't see it anymore.The Eighth Prince secretly comforted himself.
"Brother, Second Brother, Second Brother Jing, you wait for me." After shattering her dream of writing a storybook to earn a lot of money and save her family, she didn't even want to sit in a carriage, she just wanted to walk alone on the road and have a good time.
He was dejectedly preparing to go back home when he heard someone calling himself behind him.But Jia Jing was really in no mood to talk to people today, so he didn't stop and walked forward on his own.
Baobao Jia She is suffering in his heart. Originally, he was just an uncle of the Duke's Mansion with no big ambitions. He only needs to go to the clan on time every day to learn some knives.
His father, Jia Daishan, didn't care much about his studies, and the master of ethnology let him go like a sheep.There is also a good student Jia Jing on the left and right. If Jia Jing is taught to be a scholar, then he is worthy of Shu Xiu of the Jia family.
However, what Jia She never expected was that his cousin, who loves to read, suddenly got kicked one day, and kept yelling that he wanted to be a dude, and he didn't even want to go to ethnology.
What can be done, Jia She, the uncle of Rongguo Mansion, became a substitute, forced to memorize articles and practice big characters every day by the master of ethnology.
Jia Amnesty wanted to imitate his second elder brother's respect for his son, but he was really afraid of his father's criticism.It is said that the second brother Jing was beaten by the uncle next door for not going to the ethnology school for a full month.
Therefore, Jia Amnesty changed from a scumbag who only fished in troubled waters every day, to a poor little guy who was called out by the ethnology teacher every day.
However, after all, the master of ethnology is also afraid that this little ancestor will follow suit and lose his golden job, so the requirements for Jia Amnesty are not so strict.
Although Jia Amnesty didn't like this kind of life, but the patience passed.
However, what he never expected was that the grandmother who doted on him the most on weekdays actually called all her natal nephews to teach him lessons.
In terms of seniority, Jia Amnesty still had to call him cousin.This cousin looks like a frightening face. What's even more frightening is that if he can't answer his cousin's question, his cousin will hit him with a hand stick.
This is really fucking terrible, Jia Amnesty wanted to run away from home after two days of class.
But since Jia Xiaoshe really had nowhere to go, he was afraid that the kidnapper would really abduct him.Mrs. Xu and Jia Daishan coaxed him to let Jia Jing come to study with him in a few days.
Jia Xiaoshe still did not succeed in running away from home.
Jia Amnesty thought, in the future, there will definitely be Second Brother Jing supporting him in class, he is just like the one who took care of himself in ethnology before, whoever sleeps in a daze will do.
What's more, now you only need to go to Lixiangyuan for class, and the distance has been shortened by more than half, which means that someone can spend more time with a cup of tea in the morning, and the day is also very happy.
What Jia Amnesty didn't expect was that his second elder brother Jing was not willing to come.
It's a pity that because his cousin and husband is strict and assigns a lot of homework every day, Jia She has never found the time to go to the Dongfu next door and grab his second brother by the collar to ask why he was left alone. Studying miserably, but I have lived a chic and dandy life.
At this moment, Jia She, who was brought out by his cousin to see the world, after seeing Jia Jing, he didn't care about what his cousin told him to follow him, not to run around.He ran up to chase Jia Jing in a hurry.
"Oh, it's She'er." Jia Jing walked unsteadily, but Jia She caught up within a few steps.They have already been caught up, and Jia Jing no longer has the mind to talk to him, so he has to cheer up to deal with Jia Amnesty.
His younger brother is the most difficult to deal with, if he dares to ignore him today, then tomorrow Jia She will be able to whisper in his ear for a long time.And he loves to sue, if Jia Jing meets him on the road and ignores him, Jia Amnesty will sue him to the elders tomorrow.
Before Jia Amnesty shook Jia Jing's shoulders to act out your ruthlessness and your ruthlessness, Xu Yi had already caught up from behind.
After all, Jia Amnesty was his aunt's sweetheart, if he really got lost, he wouldn't be able to compensate him if he sold him.So when Jia Amnesty was catching up, Xu Yi looked calm, but in fact his pace quickened a lot.
"Xie'er, what is this?" Xu Yi had heard Jia She call Jia Jing's second brother a long time ago, and guessed Jia Jing's identity, but after all, he was an elder, so Xu Yi pretended not to know him and asked.
The so-called unobtainable is always the best. Originally, in order to let Xu Yineng let go of Jia Jing, Jia Daishan praised Jia Jing so much.
But from Xu Yi's point of view, it was nothing more than mediocrity. After all, in terms of child prodigies, Shandong was the hometown of Sage Kong, and there were not many child prodigies at the age of eight or nine.In terms of talents, the people in the south of the Yangtze River are even more worthy of the name.
But because of Jia Daishan's cousin's face, he let go.
But later he heard that the Ningguo Mansion had rejected him. While he was surprised, he also became interested in Jia Jing, so he paid more attention to Jia Jing.
Jia Amnesty didn't know, but he heard that Jia Jing had been shutting himself in the study for the past few months to read.
Xu Yi was a little puzzled. He understood the way Ningguo Mansion took to hide its strength and bide its time, but since he had already decided to hide his strength and bide his time, and made all the effort to study, why spread the news?
"Cousin, I respect my second brother." Jia She introduced to Xu Yi, and continued to ask Jia Jing's shoulder.
"Brother, I haven't seen you for a long time, what are you doing here today?"
"Sell the storybook."
After hearing the conversation between the two brothers, Xu Yi looked at Jia Jing in surprise.
In the end, it is more important whether the script is good-looking or not, and whether it can make the princess who is pregnant with the eldest grandson in the palace happy.
The crown prince definitely believed in his eighth brother's vision, after all, his eighth brother hid a large box of scripture books in his study.
