A visit to Fangchun

Baoyu heard Daqi, why is there something about Sister Feng in the middle?Turn around and ask carefully.

Mingyan saw that he didn't know, so he hurriedly said the following section, and then talked about Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang's past, and finally sighed: "Who knows that in the end, you are all right, Miss Xue and her cheap-talking girl It's okay, Lian's second grandma is okay, the third master who was scolded and beaten was grounded, and the third girl who was in charge of her younger brother was punished for copying female rings... Those of us who have no law to start are all in private. The third girl is not worth it——in the future, if something like this happens again, it’s better to be bullied freely, that’s all. To avoid having to be punished by the master and wife. It’s too bad, isn’t it?”

Speaking of it, Mingyan had ridiculed Baoyu face to face, but Baoyu didn't take it seriously, only feeling more and more ashamed.

Baoyu dropped the book and got up to leave, but Ming Yan'er held her back and asked, "Master, did you go to Sister Hua's house to play? Do you want to go to Sister Qingwen's house today?" I heard that her aunt and elder brother are named Duoguaner, they have excellent wine hidden in the house, and their sister-in-law is also the most kind and beautiful..."

Baoyu frowned, and glared at him: "Qingwen only has such an uncle and elder brother who is drunk at home, and she is too lazy to go back. Before leaving today, she told me that she only went back to send money for the trip, and immediately after lunch Come back. What are we going to do? See someone else’s sister-in-law? Brat, thank you for thinking it out! Be careful I kick you!"

Mingyan chuckled, but she had to let Baoyu go, feeling a pity in her heart, she heard that those girls were the most enchanting and romantic, and even though she was still young, if she could relieve her greedy eyes, is also good...

Baoyu went back to the inner courtyard and came to the door of Tanchun's room again. Cuimo was no longer in the corridor, so he had to knock on the door by himself: "Third sister."

There was a response from the waiting book inside, and he hurriedly opened the door: "Why is the second master here at this time? Our girl just woke up from a sleep, and Cui Mo is waiting for her to clean up. Second master, please."

Baoyu went in, only to see Cuimo walking out with the wash water, smiling and kneeling to salute him: "It's a coincidence that the second master came."

Baoyu managed to squeeze out a smiling face, and went into the inner room, only to see Tanchun with a calm face, looking sideways at his hair style in front of the mirror, and said in his mouth, "Second brother, what's the matter?"

Baoyu looked up at the waiting book who was coming in with tea.

How smart to wait for the book, immediately took the tea tray and backed away: "Second Master, please use tea." Turning around and leaving the door, he told Cui Mo: "Listen here, Haosheng. I'll go and see my aunt and third master."

Seeing the silence in the room, Baoyu heaved a sigh of relief, lowered his head and muttered: "Third sister, what happened today..."

Hearing the words, Tanchun's face turned cold, and he turned around, his face covered with frost: "What teaching does Second Master have?"

Baoyu dared not raise her head even more, clutching her robe tightly with both hands, and said with difficulty for a long time: "Third sister, I really can't tell what's wrong with others. But what happened today was because I was impetuous and reckless, and I shouldn't have opened my mouth to send rings." It's not..."

Tanchun didn't say a word, just waiting for him to continue talking.But Baoyu couldn't go on.

He is very clear.What Tanchun asked of him was never to be kind to his family and to distinguish right from wrong, but to hope that he could study and improve and support the entire Jia family.

He doesn't like it, he doesn't want to.

Baoyu thought about it, and blurted out: "I don't like reading. It's not that the words of the sages are bad, and it's not that the classics and ancient books are bad. I read the Four Books very comfortably, I read the children's books very interesting, and I especially like the Book of Songs. But the Master Once you start explaining, those words and phrases suddenly become hideous."

"Third sister, she is a resolute monarch now, and she has always treated others without being mean and unkind. Even if the Northern King had a plan, with the power in his hands, he might not be able to have the courage to act. , but it may not be regarded as being favored..."

When Jia Tanchun heard this, he looked at him coldly.

Jia Baoyu couldn't continue, paused for a while, raised his head, and spoke fluently: "I don't want to run an official career, I don't want to deal with those beasts in clothes, I feel sick when I look at their faces! Third sister, this is a In the morally corrupt world, if you want to live like a fish in water in this world, and want to get something from this world, you have to pay only your own face and heart. Third sister, I can't do that, I will hate myself, and you will hate me too, old ancestor You'll hate me too—sister, if this is the price for letting me be an official, do you still want to ask me to be an official?"

Tanchun watched Baoyu's back getting straighter and straighter, and his face became more and more calm and determined, and sighed.

Jia Baoyu's words should be the voice of the bottom of my heart, right?

Tanchun finally restrained his harsh expression, softened his voice, and said, "Second brother, I knew what you said from the beginning."

Baoyu raised his eyebrows: "Then you still..." As he spoke, he suddenly sized Tanchun up and down, with scrutiny and suspicion in his eyes, "Third sister, don't you also fall into the ranks of the national thieves..."

Jia Tanchun had no choice but to sigh again, shook his head, and said: "At the beginning, I didn't say a single word to let you enter the official position, but I just said that I hope you can study and make progress, and set a good example for your brothers and nephews, at least not a good example." A full set of dudes."

"In the end, the eldest sister really became the empress. I hope you can study more. It is best to be full of knowledge and wealth. It is not to add luster to the empress, but to be that kind of uncle, but to hope that you can stand on your own and save others. I used you to block my mother's mouth. But in fact, I don't want you to be an official even more-our family is a noble, no matter what, we should never have the idea of ​​being an exclusive relative. The elder has a title, we As long as the master can have the position of servant before he becomes an official, it will be enough to maintain the family's honor. As for you, it will be your mother's blessing to be ordinary in the future."

"But now, second brother, open your eyes and take a good look. What kind of rotten family has become? Why does Beifu dare to look at us and take advantage of us if it wants to? Isn't it just that our family has no successors? People? No successors, you can only rely on nepotism, rely on the ancestral shadow of the powerful, and the fox pretends to be the tiger! The second brother, Huaner is still young, he does not have an uncle who is in charge of the military, nor is he an aunt who is an imperial merchant, nor is he a sister who is a concubine Even if I can teach him by hand, what's the use of teaching him? Will this Jia family, that Wang family, allow him to stand out? I'm afraid that if Huan'er is a scholar, he will be there immediately. Countless people went to kill him!"

"Second brother, you are the only one left. Big brother Zhen and second brother Lian have been abolished. After all, Brother Lan is separated by a generation. You are the only one left. Whether the Rongning Second Mansion can survive or not depends on you Alone."

"Second brother, I don't ask you to be famous in the world, and I don't ask you to be the number one scholar... I just hope that there are one or two promising and wise people in the family. When outsiders want to kill them, they have to be very cautious. Second brother, There will be a day when there will be peace in the world. On that day, even if you hang up your crown and go away, wandering around the world, wandering in the world of mortals, you can be regarded as worthy of your surname, worthy of your ancestors, and worthy of the old man who is still calculating and working hard for you at such an old age. Ma'am!"

Jia Tanchun's analysis is very good, and he speaks earnestly.

While Jia Baoyu was moved, he fell silent again.

Jia Tanchun looked at him vaguely, just like Jia Huan's stubbornness, shook his head sadly, and sighed long.

Baoyu slowly lowered his head and went back to Jiamu's main courtyard.

It so happened that Shi Xiangyun came and was talking and laughing in Jiamu's room.

This Shi Xiangyun is Jiamu's grandniece, her parents died early, and now she lives with her uncle Zhongjinghou Shi Nai.Mother Jia loved her since she was a child, and she often came to live with her.Before serving Baoyu, that Xiren served Shi Xiangyun for two years.

Jia Tanchun's relationship with her has always been indifferent, but it was Lin Daiyu who hit it off with her back then, and their relationship was very close.Shi Xiangyun has a generous personality and doesn't stick to trivial matters, so Lin Daiyu and her have a lot of quarrels. Although today is annoyed and tomorrow will be better, but after all, there is some meaning to each other.Ever since Xue Baochai came, he was generous and gentle, and Shi Xiangyun was actually very close to him. Recently, he and Xue Baochai have gotten much better, but he often talks sarcastically with Lin Daiyu.

Mrs. Wang and others were busy, so they came to see her, greeted Xiao Shihou and his wife and others, and then went to work separately.Now only Jiamu, Xue Baochai, Lin Daiyu and other sisters stay in the room.

Shi Xiangyun looked up for a long time, but did not see Tanchun, so he asked: "Where is the third sister? Wasn't she the most in front of the ancestors in the past? Why did she disappear when I came?"

Yingchun happened to be sitting close to her, so she told her sadly: "The third younger sister contradicted the second master today, and she was restrained in the room to copy the women's ring."

Shi Xiangyun suddenly became curious, and hurriedly asked Lin Daiyu: "She has always been the most observant person, how could she offend the master? Let's go and find out what's going on?"

Lin Daiyu had also just heard about this matter, so she was not very clear about it, so she hesitated for a moment.

Xue Baochai hurriedly stopped her and said, "Yun'er, don't mess around. Those who have their feet grounded will be banned. What's more, there is such a serious matter as copying women's rings? It is the housework of the third sister's family, and we will not interfere."

Shi Xiangyun thought about it, and felt that Xue Baochai's words were very reasonable.After all, it was a private matter of the father and daughter. Even Yingchun only knew that he offended Jia Zheng, and did not say anything else.After all, I, Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu are people with foreign surnames, so I really shouldn't be too enthusiastic and curious.

Amber was coming to refill tea. Hearing Xue Baochai's words, she couldn't help but look at her with wide eyes: "Miss Bao didn't know? Isn't it because your Yinger humiliated the third master in person? The third girl knew that it started with the third master." It was the fault of the master, so when I went back, I beat the third master in a fit of anger. The master and wife rushed over after hearing this. That's why I grounded both Aunt Zhao and the third master, and punished the third girl for copying the female ring. A hundred times!"

Shi Xiangyun couldn't help clicking his tongue: "A hundred times!?"

After hearing this, Lin Daiyu immediately turned to Xue Baochai, and asked in a soft voice: "Ying'er humiliated the third master in person, but sister Bao doesn't care?"
