"It's okay. I haven't really read all your books into the dog's belly. So, Baoyu, do you see, this is the function of reading. Regardless of whether it is true or false, you can tell some truth." Ou Mengmeng nodded. , hit Jia Zheng on the shoulder with another stick, and asked sternly, "Since you knew it, why did you agree? You don't know what the court laws are just now, do you? But you agreed after reading the letter, and then Is it like you are in the official department and have power over the government and the public?"
Jia Zheng was in pain and could only lie down again to plead guilty. My mind is confused again. Yes, I accepted the letter, chatted with Jia Yucun, and agreed immediately. I really didn’t think it was anything at that time.
Thinking about it now, brother-in-law Lin refused to recommend him and recommended him to himself. Only then did he realize the problem. But if you use Baoyu's method, it's not impossible, but it's a bit embarrassing. He is stupid, but he has been in the officialdom for 20 to 30 years. He also knows the basic rules. At least, he is not disliked in the court. This is actually not easy either.
Bian Baoyu was also confused and thought, "Then Uncle Lin was wrong? Why did Uncle Lin harm the master?"
"No one wants to harm your father. How can I put it? Lin Ruhai was born in Tanhua, the fifth generation of the Lin family, but you don't want to think about it. Your great-grandfather changed the world with Taizu. He came to you for only four generations, and the Lin family has been five generations. Then the late emperor asked his father to attack him for another life, do you understand?" Ou Mengmeng twitched the corner of her mouth and patted his little face gently.
"Old lady!" Jia Zhenghan even came down. My mother really dared to say anything! Turning to his son, "Don't think or talk nonsense."
Baoyu actually didn't understand. Talking about the fourth or fifth life, it was useless to talk about it to a seven-year-old baby. But seeing his father like that, he also knew that the old lady's words were very important, but he could only keep them in his heart but not say them.
"What your father said is right, but you can't know nothing and be fooled by others. Your father is confused about big things but shrewd about small things. This is also the reason. He has no understanding. He is almost fifty, and he is still My mind is confused." Ou Mengmeng nodded and thought about it, "Now that you hear what your father just said, do you know where you went wrong?"
"A bit arrogant?" Baoyu is actually really smart. As long as he is not allowed to read the eight-legged essay, he will be pretty smart. It is said that he doesn't like the career economy. The principle is, don't tell him, this is the career economy.
Jia Zheng gave him the feeling that the economics of official career is roughly equivalent to testing for fame; testing for fame is roughly equivalent to reading and writing. Not to mention Baoyu, a normal child, who loves to study? As Baoyu grew older, he directly found a reason for himself. I don't like these official career economics. I am not a common person. But he didn't even think about it, that all the tricks he did to please his sister were all in exchange for his official career and finances. Once his parents are gone, he will be nothing.
"Yes, it's inhumane to just run away when something happens." Ou Mengmeng nodded and smiled at Xiao Zhengtai. She didn't say 'gentleman', just 'person'. He said that this is the responsibility a person should have. If he only knows how to escape when something happens, he is not even a human being.
"What should we do?" Baoyu was also anxious. He could easily think of a way, but it didn't work.
"If it were me, I would go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to investigate Jia Yucun's experience and see what he did to be dismissed by the court. Besides, I believe that 'I am born with talents that will be useful.' Like your father, He is not suitable for working in the Ministry of Industry, so he is now a typical vegetarian. But he is a bit good. If I can't do it, I won't do it. I will stay at home and promise not to cause trouble to the court. You see, the court tolerated it. He. Now, that Mr. Jia can teach your sister Lin to study for a year. Maybe he is suitable for teaching people to study, but not suitable for being an official? Then find a position where he is most suitable, rather than letting him go As a parent official, you have to be strong to harm the people." Ou Mengmeng despised Jia Zheng again by the way.
We must know that at this time, only 300 people were admitted through the imperial examination after three years, so this time there were not enough people so old ministers had to be recruited. It can be seen that it is not easy for anyone who has become an official to be dismissed. He was dismissed, and the court had sufficient reasons. Generally speaking, it is extremely unlikely that the fault lies with the court. She is telling her children and grandchildren that they are not allowed to mess around because the court tolerated even Jia Zheng but could not tolerate Jia Yucun. This middle ground is interesting.
"Yes, yes, the old lady is really wise!" Jia Zheng nodded hurriedly. He now listened selectively. He listened very well to Jia Yucun's affairs. As for saying that he was "eating without food", he pretended that he didn't hear it.
Now Ou Mengmeng wonders if she is wearing a fake red house, but looking at Jia Mu's memory, Jia Zheng behaves like a puppy in front of Jia Mu, and he always comes to ask Jia Mu what she means. That's why Jia Mu likes him and thinks that he is her most beloved son in this house. Of course, as long as she doesn't fall in love with Baoyu, most of the time the old lady thinks it's cute to ask her little son for advice. But after having her pet Pekingese for more than 40 years, Mother Jia is really big-hearted!
Mrs. Wang next to her was going crazy. Looking at Jia Zheng lying on the ground, he looked like the poodle the old lady had raised before. But is now the time to write recommendations for others? Mainly, she found that her son looked at the old lady differently than before. Now Baoyu looked at the old lady not as a protective shield before, but as a true admirer. This was her last resort and her hatred for the old lady. The meaning is like a surging river.
"Old lady, Baoyu is still young!" Mrs. Wang decided to use her son to attract Ou Mengmeng's attention. She had just asked for a doctor, but the old lady ignored her and only asked Daiyu to come forward to greet her and said After Baoyu's fault, Mrs. Wang now really feels that the old lady has changed the core. But seeing the old lady scolding her son, she felt that the old lady had not changed. She just had this temper and insisted on holding her children and grandchildren tightly in her hands.
"Hey, I've been scolding my son and grandson for a long time, but I still haven't allowed you to get up. Why don't you think about where you went wrong?" Ou Mengmeng finally turned to her old daughter-in-law, who was also in her forties. Kneeling on the ground all the time, it was quite sad to think about it, but Ou Mengmeng really couldn't sympathize with her.
"Yes, my daughter-in-law is not good at housekeeping, and I know she is guilty." No matter how disapproving she was, Mrs. Wang also hurriedly apologized. Anyway, she felt that as long as she had a good attitude towards admitting her mistakes, the old lady could always be polite to her daughter-in-law.
But she still miscalculated. If she were Jia Mu, she might be more polite to her daughter-in-law. But now it’s Ou Mengmeng. Who was she afraid of in modern times? She was unmarried and had no children. It was written in advanced materials, "She devoted her whole life to her students, which delayed her personal life." 'She was embarrassed to say that she just hated getting along with other people and didn't want to get married and have children. I feel like when I go home, I just want to be alone and don’t want to socialize with people anymore. Why are you so determined to retire? I just don’t want to deal with people anymore.
Now she suddenly gained twenty years, and suddenly gained a family of idiots with three to four hundred people. She was so angry that she couldn't vent her anger. Her son was beaten, her grandson was scolded, and her servants tied her up. Now, am I still afraid of you as a fake daughter-in-law?
