[Red Mansions] Why does Xiaoye want to whitewash

When the meat was roasted and brought out, Dean Chen had already memorized half of the article taught to Baoyu. Jia Lian sat back again and showed off to everyone: "This meat was marinated when I was at home. It is my exclusive secret recipe, Dean Chen. Have a taste with Mr. Meng."

Mr. Meng nodded, stroked his beard and said with a smile, "I smelled it just now, and it is really fragrant."

And Dean Chen was sitting there with the old god, and directly ordered Baoyu to say: "Baoyu, bring me a copy."

At first, Jia Lian didn't understand why Baoyu had to be served by a small doll. Later, when he saw the expressions of the Meng family's grandparents and Jia Zhu, he suddenly realized and looked at Baoyu in surprise. Is this the role of the protagonist's halo? !

It's just that the Jia family is definitely happy to see such a thing come to fruition, so Jia Lian just obediently watched from the sidelines.

The greatest joy of camping is to do it yourself, so they didn't need maids to prepare vegetables like they did when they were at home. Later, Baoyu was the only one in the audience who didn't know anything and happily served Dean Chen.

Everyone sat around together, two sisters from the Jia family sat between the two elder brothers, Yuan Chun was diagonally opposite Meng Chengyun, casual glances would be thrown there, but she never looked back, and felt a little lost in her heart unconsciously .

However, Yuanchun has always been a well-behaved girl, and she paid attention to Baoyu and Yingchun the whole time, and would never do anything inappropriate, so naturally she didn't find out.

"Unfortunately, there is no wine..." Mr. Meng had a picnic with a group of children in this pleasant place, and he was in a good mood. The only fly in the ointment was that there was no wine to match.

When Jia Lian heard this, he glanced at Meng Chengyun, and said with a smile, "Lian brought a few jugs of wine, but Cheng Yun said before that you should not drink too much, so he didn't bring them out..."

"You boy!" Meng Lao stared at him, and scolded lightly: "You are so dishonest! Why don't you take out the wine?"

The maid wanted to get it, but Jia Lian shook her head and stood up herself, took a pot of plum wine and two cups, respectfully said to the two old people, "Jia Lian only brought fruit wine, you two can make do with it for now."

"Talking is better than nothing, so let's just go like this..."

Yuan Chun raised his head and looked at Second Brother Lian, she was the one who looked at the wine in the morning, and obviously brought two pots of Zhuyeqing, but seeing Second Brother Lian blinking at him, he pursed his lips and bowed his head in silence.

After drinking and eating, Baoyu was already drowsy in Yuanchun's arms, and everyone was about to part.But Mr. Chen asked suddenly: "Aren't you going back to Beijing these few days?"

Jia Lian stood beside him waving his fan and didn't make a sound. Jia Zhu stepped forward and replied, "Lian'er and his brothers and sisters are temporarily escaping the summer heat at Zhuangzi, and they won't go back for a few days."

"If there's nothing wrong, why don't you bring Baoyu to the academy." After speaking, he looked at the two of them, "is it possible?"

Jia Zhu was naturally very happy, and Jia Lian had no objection, so he watched him agree and did not refute.

When they went back, it was still Meng Chengyun who sent Jia Lian and his party away, and even ordered the servants to prepare tea for several people, and carefully divided them into several bags.

"This is the tea you drank today. Brother Lian, you can bring it back and taste it with everyone. Our Meng family has a tea house. If you like it, you can ask me to get it."

It wasn't the first time Jia Lian accepted Meng Chengyun's things, and he didn't show politeness to him, so he took it directly. When he got home, he thought that Yuan Chun liked to drink tea, so he shared two bags with her.

On the other side, Meng Chengyun returned to the small courtyard, and as soon as he entered the study, he saw his grandfather with his hands behind his back as if waiting for him, so he walked over and respectfully said, "Grandfather, Chengyun is back."

"Is the tea delivered?"

Meng Chengyun didn't think too much, just nodded and said: "It's already given to Brother Lian."

Only then did Mr. Meng turn around slowly, looking at his beloved grandson, he said helplessly, "Do you want to give it to Jia Lian? I never knew that my calm and stable grandson could be so impatient... ...I have been asking you to keep your face in front of outsiders, your behavior today is too obvious."

Meng Chengyun paused, knowing what his grandfather was talking about, he could completely deny that he didn't have that kind of intention, but saying this was really against his heart, he always knew what he wanted.After lowering his head and being silent for a moment, he spoke slowly: "The grandson has failed his grandfather's teachings, but the grandson thinks that his behavior is magnanimous, and he is not disqualified."

Of course, Mr. Meng didn't think that he failed his teaching, and he was even very proud, but what he should say was, "With Rongguo Mansion's way of doing things, the girls in their family naturally have their own requirements for marriage. You may not agree to it." It will come true..." What's more, the girl didn't show any respect for her grandson...

"grandfather……"

Seeing his expression, Mr. Meng couldn't help sighing, and said: "Although the Jia family is not as prosperous as before, and the nobles don't meet my requirements for choosing a marriage for you, that girl's family background and character are enough for you. Next If your grades are good, I will go to Rongguo Mansion for you."

Meng Chengyun didn't expect his grandfather to agree, and raised his head in surprise, "Are you serious?!"

Of course, Mr. Meng wanted his grandson to fulfill his wish, but he didn't think his grandson would satisfy the Jia family, but the most important thing at this time was being able to appease him, and we'll talk about the rest later.

Since then, although Meng Chengyun is still confident in his achievements, he still has some pressure in his heart. He thinks that if he can enter the top three, his marriage proposal will go much smoother.

Of course, at this moment, Jia Lian didn't know that there was someone coveting Yuanchun right under his nose, and he was now concentrating on dealing with Baoyu.

When Baoyu was told that he was going to play in the academy again, the boy almost instantly assumed that he would see Brother Meng again, so he naturally nodded happily to express his strong desire to go.

Jia Lian knew that Dean Chen's so-called going to the academy to play couldn't be the same as ordinary play, so he laughed inwardly without sympathy.On the first day when Jia Zhu took him there, it went smoothly, but who knew that he would say nothing and didn't want to go on the second day.

Even if Jia Zhu hated Baoyu a little, he couldn't stay here with Baoyu all the time, so he went to the academy first.Only when Jia Lian came to deal with Baoyu, he began to sympathize with himself again.

But what should be done has to be done, so when Jia Zhu left, Jia Lian glanced at Baoyu who was lying on the bed and said nothing.This kid was peeking with one eye open, he didn't look like he was cheating just now.

Jia Lian dragged a chair to Baoyu's window. After sitting down, Erlang raised his legs and asked calmly, "Tell me why you don't want to go?"

Baoyu pouted and shook her buttocks, her deceitful appearance was ridiculous.Jia Lian took off his shoes, stretched out his legs and kicked the boy's buttocks, and it felt good to the touch, so he stepped on it lightly again.

Baoyu didn't bother to put on a show at this time, and lay on the bed under his legs and laughed. After a while, she tried to get up with her arms and legs, and she wasted a lot of energy to get away. Grandpa always asks me to recite books, if I don’t recite, I will be murdered, so I don’t want to go.”

When Jia Lian heard this, although he guessed that Dean Chen wanted to teach Baoyu before, they couldn't believe it after the fact was true.Don't talk about disregarding the child's wishes, if the mansion finds out, the second uncle will definitely force Baoyu to study with Dean Chen.

Didn't even Jia Zhu unquestionably ask Baoyu to go?After all, this is really a rare opportunity, Jia Zhu couldn't ask for it, but Baoyu didn't cherish it when he got it easily, and it's no wonder he was so angry in the morning.

Shaking his head, Jia Lian asked him, "Do you know how powerful Dean Chen is?"

"I don't know." Baoyu shook his head, pouted and said, "I hate reading even though I'm very powerful."

For those who don't care, it really doesn't matter what kind of person Dean Chen is. Jia Lian can understand it more or less, just like he himself respects Dean Chen, but he is not like Jia Zhu.

It's just that this opportunity is really rare, and it's a pity that Baoyu gave up in the end.So Jia Lian said softly, "Could it be that you are willing to study because Dean Chen is not so fierce?"

Baoyu responded for a moment, then shook his head firmly, "I don't want to read."

Well, I didn't cheat, Jia Lian continued: "But everyone reads. Your second brother Lian and I don't like reading and have been studying for ten years. You always need to know how to read."

Baoyu was still unhappy, so she wanted to be coaxed, and wanted to climb onto Jia Lian's legs along the bed.Jia Lian was startled when he saw his action, and quickly stretched out the other leg to bring him together, letting him crawl over.

Hugging her in her arms, she couldn't help saying: "You still have to be a flexible and fat man?"

Baoyu sat on his lap and smiled. Jia Lian rolled her eyes and continued to ask: "Then you don't have any fun with President Chen?"

"It's not..." Baoyu became a little shy as she spoke, twisting her body and said, "There is a beautiful sister over there..."

"Oh——" Jia Lian took a long tone, glanced ambiguously at Baoyu, who was so young and full of beautiful brothers and sisters, and said with a smile: "Then you won't see this beautiful sister if you don't go. ?”

When Baoyu heard this, he twisted his fingers in a tangled state, as if he was in a very difficult situation.

"What about this? The second elder brother will go with you today, and discuss it with Dean Chen, so that he will not attack you, and then how about teaching you something you like?"

"is it okay?"

Jia Lian gave Baoyu a positive look, and said firmly, "No, we won't go in the future!"

"Then...then I won't be able to see that younger sister!" Baoyu anxiously grabbed Second Brother Lian's sleeve and said, "Second Brother Lian, please talk to me! I...I still want to play with my sister... "

Speechlessly rolled his eyes, Jia Lian said in his heart that he is not a special person, he is the dean of a capital academy and a great Confucian, although he has no official position now, but I heard that he was a tutor at the time, how could he have the ability to say Tongren...
