After a few perfunctory words with Jia Huan, Jia Baoyu pulled Jia Huan away in disgust and went straight to Rongqing Hall.
Not long after, Jia Baoyu entered the Rongqing Hall, and was pulled into her arms by Jia's mother, who had been waiting for a long time. She screamed loudly.
Jia Baoyu couldn't help but burst into tears. He was crying so hard that his heart was broken, and he was out of breath.
It really got to the point where those who saw it were sad and those who heard it shed tears.
Jia's mother was so distressed that she burst into tears and comforted her. It took a long time to persuade Baoyu to stop crying.
Jia Huan watched from the side and shook his head slightly. The big-faced baby is not good at acting. If you just fall asleep crying, you might really be able to impress the old lady.
But the current performance is always a little less interesting.
Jia Mu asked with tears in her eyes: "Baoyu, what kind of injustice did you suffer in the Imperial College? Just tell grandma? Grandma will make the decision for you."
Jia Baoyu choked and said: "My ancestors, in the Imperial College, no one made the bed and folded the quilt. My grandson doesn't know how to make the bed himself, and he wakes up from the cold every night."
"No one combs his hair, so my grandson combs it by himself every day. No one packs food for dinner, so he has to do it himself."
"The food there is inferior to pig food and is hard to swallow. There is no place to take a bath. My grandson hasn't taken a bath in ten days and his body stinks!"
"Old Ancestor, my grandson is afraid that if he goes to the Imperial College again, he may not be able to come back next time. Oooh! Old Ancestor, my grandson is not filial. If his grandson really cannot come back, I hope that my grandson will never think of Baoyu."
"When the time comes, my ancestors must not be too sad. The Jia family has Brother Huan on the left and right, and he won the first prize. I am just a waste. It doesn't matter whether I am there or not. Brother Huan on the left and right can still be proud. I am the lintel of the Jia family."
Jia Baoyu's words made Jia Huan's face change slightly.
Unexpectedly, the good-for-nothing big-faced boy has made some progress, and what he said was very high-level. He did not directly state that he did not want to go to the Imperial College, but used his filial piety to impress the old lady.
He hinted to the old lady that if he went again, he would have to die in the Imperial College, so the old lady should not be sad when the time comes. He even pulled himself out as a shield, implying that he was dead and it was this bastard who ultimately benefited.
I'm afraid he didn't do anything else during the ten days he entered school. He only thought about how Xiumu would file a complaint when he came back every day, right?
It's a pity that in the end, my experience was too little and I couldn't achieve perfection. If it were him, he would do better.
Of course, if it were you, no matter how perfect you were, it would be useless.
After hearing Jia Baoyu's remarks, Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang began to look strange.
Jia's mother looked at Jia Huan and asked sternly: "Huan'er, now that I think about it, you were the one who instigated Baoyu to go to the Imperial College to study!"
"Where is the Imperial College? Don't you know? What's your intention in coaxing Baoyu to go there? If Baoyu is put to death, what good will it do to you?"
"If Baoyu has three advantages and two disadvantages, which one of you do you think I can spare?"
Jia Baoyu, who was leaning in Jia Mu's arms, couldn't help showing a proud look on his face when he heard Jia Mu's words.
Mrs. Wang stared at Jia Huan with cold eyes.
Jia Huan sighed and said, "My grandson doesn't know how to respond to my ancestor's words."
Jia Mu said angrily: "You must be feeling guilty. You don't know how to answer it?"
Jia Huan said calmly: "Ancestor, now, the decision of Brother Bao to go to the Imperial College is decided by the master himself. What does it have to do with me?"
"Secondly, my ancestors thought about it carefully. My grandson said something disrespectful. It means that Brother Bao has a lot of advantages and disadvantages. What good can it do to me?"
"It should be noted that there is another brother Lange in this second house. He is the eldest son and grandson and the legitimate heir. In any case, he has nothing to do with the grandson. Besides, the grandson doesn't take this family property seriously."
This sentence made Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang's expressions change slightly. Just now they mistakenly thought that if Jia Baoyu died, the property of his second wife would belong to Jia Huan, and they had completely forgotten about Jia Lan.
At this moment, they realized belatedly that Lange'er's succession ranking was even higher than Baoyu's.
Then I heard Jia Huan continue: "My grandson wants to ask my ancestor one more thing. If Brother Bao wins the first prize again, what good will it do to me?"
"If my grandson really has bad intentions, I really wish that second brother Bao would keep hanging out among the maids and continue to be ridiculous."
This sentence made Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang feel moved again. If you think about it carefully, it actually makes sense.
As a concubine, Jia Huan won the first prize. But if Baoyu also wins the first prize, he can immediately suppress Jia Huan again. All the resources of the Jia family will be directed towards Baoyu.
And if Baoyu continues to be ridiculous and incompetent, then the Jia family's resources can only be piled on Brother Huan. After all, the only person the Jia family can use to support their appearance is Brother Huan.
From this point of view, if Brother Huan had bad intentions, he would never let Jia Baoyu go to the Imperial College to study and get the number one scholar in the future.
Jia Huan paused and continued: "Brother Bao just said that the food in the Imperial College is pig food and is difficult to swallow. The old lady asked me where the Imperial College is?"
"My answer is that the Imperial College is the holy place for scholars in the Great Xia Dynasty. How many scholars in our Great Xia want to enter the Imperial College but can't? How come it has become a place of harm?"
"In the Imperial College, everyone from the top to the professors to all the students dine in the Imperial Canteen. Do they all think that the food there is pig food and difficult to swallow?"
As soon as these words came out, Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang came to their senses completely.
Jia Mu finally came to her senses. It turned out that she just loved her grandson very much, and the accusation just now was unreasonable and untenable.
And all this was because Baoyu cried and complained, which made her confused.
Two years ago, Jia's mother would have been dissatisfied with Jia Huan, even if she was making unreasonable troubles. She would definitely have criticized him a few more times.
But now, Jia Mu couldn't help but become silent.
Jia Baoyu felt bad, and he hated Huan Laosan to death.
He couldn't help crying: "Ancestor, if my grandson goes to the Imperial College to study again, he will have to die there! It's a small matter if my grandson dies. I'm afraid that my ancestor will be heartbroken by it. If there is something wrong with our ancestor, It’s my grandson’s fault.”
Hearing these words, Jia Mu was heartbroken by Baoyu's tears. She hugged Baoyu and couldn't help crying: "I won't go, I won't go. We will study at home and not go anywhere."
Hearing these words, Jia Baoyu couldn't help but feel elated as if he were listening to the voice of a fairy. His goal was finally achieved!
Jia Huan, who was next to him, smiled slightly.
If he didn't come today, the big-faced boy would really be able to escape this disaster.
It's a pity that he is here. Does the big-faced boy want to go to the Imperial College? It’s just a dream!
