Rongguo Mansion, Jia Zheng's study. Jia Cong obtained two places in the Imperial College and wanted to let Jia Baoyu and Jia Lan go to the Imperial College to study.
After Baoyu's butt healed, he ran to the Grand View Garden every day and stayed there all day long. He couldn't come out until dark, which made Jia Cong an eyesore, so he had to let him go to study.
"Second uncle, these are the two admission quotas for the Imperial College. I want Baoyu and Lan Geer to go to the Imperial College to study. They are the only two in our Jia family. They are a bit talented in reading, and the others are not that good. Lan Ge My son studies very hard and will definitely achieve something in the future. Baoyu has a good talent, but he is not too interested in it. Now that he is older, he can no longer hang out blindly. It is time to study hard. I wonder what the second uncle thinks? "Jia Zheng said: "I naturally hope that they can all become useful and can bring glory to our ancestors. My face will also be shining. But you also know the situation of Baoyu. The old lady protects her very well. I don't want to make the old lady unhappy. This thing What can you do?" Jia Cong said: "The last time Baoyu was beaten, I told the old lady, I said, the second uncle beat Baoyu because he hates iron and cannot become steel. As long as Baoyu knows that he is making progress, the second uncle likes to return the favor. It's too late, why are you willing to beat him? When he recovers, let him go to study." Jia Zheng smiled and nodded: "Brother Cong, you are right, it touches my heart, that's what I do I thought about it, what did the old lady say?" Jia Cong said: "The old lady neither agreed nor objected. She just said that we would wait until Baoyu gets better. Seeing that, she was a bit loose. Although the old lady doted on Baoyu, she also hoped that he would get better. You can get ahead. Second uncle can be tougher on this matter. As long as you don’t beat Baoyu like last time, the old lady will not go against you. If Baoyu can make progress, the old lady likes it." Finally, under Jia Cong's lobbying , Jia Zheng made up his mind, and the two found Jia's mother together and told her about the matter.
Although Jia Mu was a little worried that Baoyu would be unhappy, she also knew that this was all for Baoyu's good. After a moment of hesitation, she agreed.
Baoyu and Jialan were called over, and Mrs. Wang and Li Wan also followed. Jia Zheng directly told them that they should go to the Imperial College to study.
Mrs. Wang and Li Wan were naturally very happy after hearing this. Who doesn't want their son to have a promising future? If you really can achieve something and stand out, then you will be proud of yourself.
Ever since Jia Cong rose to prominence, Mrs.
Besides, there are no elders in Dongfu, so Jia Cong still regards them as his elders and respects them equally, but there is not much difference.
If Baoyu and Lan Geer can live up to their expectations, I won't have to suffer anymore. Jia Lan focused on studying, so he was naturally very happy to be able to study in the Imperial College, and he quickly bowed to express his thanks.
Baoyu was different. His mind was not on studying. His greatest pleasure was playing with his sisters and maids.
Although he was deeply unhappy, in front of Jia Zheng, he didn't have the courage to refute at all and could only nod obediently in agreement.
But I made up my mind to act coquettishly in front of my ancestors when I am gone. He asked his ancestors to stand up for him and refused to go out to study.
Going out to study is not as good as having fun at home. Jia Cong said: "In order for you to quickly integrate into your classmates, you should live in the Imperial College and go home once every half month. Don't lose the face of my Jia family outside. Baoyu, you are an uncle. You should take more care of Brother Lan and study hard. If you can't even compare with your nephew, it will be a joke." Jia Baoyu glanced at Jia Cong and cursed in his heart, it's all you bastard. Damn it, why did you let me go to school? Did I provoke you?
But in front of Jia Zheng, he didn't dare to make a mistake and nodded reluctantly. After everyone left, Baoyu said pitifully: "Ancestor, I don't want to go to the Imperial College to study. I can also study in the clan school. Go and talk to the master for me." Jia Mu saw Baoyu. He suddenly felt a little soft-hearted. He was about to agree, but thinking about Jia Cong's words, he gradually calmed down.
He sighed helplessly and said: "Baoyu, I can't bear to let you leave. Your father has been very cruel this time, so I can't stop you too much. After all, it's your father, and it's for your own good. If you don't want to You can also study. Just like Brother Cong did before, I will give you a village and you can move to live in the village. If you can support yourself, you can do whatever you want in the future and no one will care about you. "
"Ancestor, are you going to drive me to Zhuangzi?" Jia Baoyu was a little dumbfounded when he heard what Jia Mu said. What is going on?
Why doesn’t my ancestor love me anymore? Jade cannot be used until it is polished. Thinking of this, Jia Mu said: "It's not that I want to drive you away, it's your father's wish. You can think about it yourself. Whether to study or go to Zhuangzi, you can make your own decision." Jia Baoyu was stunned. After a long while, he left in despair.
The next day, Jia Baoyu and Jia Lan each brought a boy. Under the leadership of Jia Zheng, they went to the Imperial College and began their studies.
······Jia Cong’s life gradually became normal. In addition to going to Dai Quan's house every now and then to sow seeds and make out with the beauty.
The rest of the time, I practiced martial arts with Lin Daiyu in the morning, went to talk to Baochai in the afternoon, or went to Miaoyu's place to drink tea, and occasionally played with Sanchun for a while.
In the evening, there are many beauties in the company, and the days are spent happily. This morning, after exercising with Lin Daiyu, we had lunch together, and then went to hang out in the garden together.
He saw Tan Chun walking over from a distance, came closer and said with a smile: "Third brother, sister Lin, you two are too attached to the lake. You are tired of being together every day, and my sister is getting a little tired of it." Lin Daiyu smiled at Jia Cong and said nothing.
But I was secretly proud of myself. Although Brother Cong had many women, he spent the longest time with me. During this period, he stayed with me almost every day. Brother Cong liked me the most.
Being with your sweetheart every day makes you naturally happy. Jia Cong smiled and said, "Where are you going, third sister?" Tan Chun said, "Third brother, come with me, can my sister say a few words to you?" With that, he pulled Jia Cong aside. .
Lin Daiyu glanced at the two of them and joked: "What are you two brothers and sisters talking about in secret? You even hid it from me?" Tan Chun turned around and said with a smile: "Sister Lin, isn't it enough that you occupy the third brother every day? My sister just borrowed it. If you don't want to after a while, be careful we come here to snatch people from you every day." Lin Daiyu's face turned red when she was told that, and she spat: "Bah, I don't care about it. If you like it, I'll leave it to you. I'll go to Congcui Let's go drink tea in the nunnery. I won't disturb you brothers and sisters for whispering." Before she finished speaking, Lin Daiyu walked forward along the path at her feet.
Jia Cong smiled, turned to look at Tan Chun and said, "You girl, you were still so mysterious. Now it's better. There's no one here anymore. Can you tell me something?" As they spoke, the two of them The man came to a pomegranate tree.
Tanchun glanced at Jia Cong, hesitated and said, "Third brother, it's like this. My aunt has been coming to me these days. She said that third brother has something against her and wants me to help her get it back." .Originally I didn’t want to take care of it, but my aunt bothered me every day, and my sister really had no choice, so she came to see the third brother. If possible, the third brother should return the evidence to my aunt. My sister would like to thank the third brother here. Brother." Jia Cong understood in his heart that it turned out to be about Aunt Zhao.
This is understandable. After all, Aunt Zhao is her own mother, so there is no way she can ignore her. It's just that I don't have any evidence in my hands, and I can't give it to you even if I want to. The reason why I said that in the first place was just to scare Aunt Zhao, so that she wouldn't learn a lesson and keep doing random things.
Jia Cong thought for a while and said: "Third sister, if you speak, my brother should not reject you. It's just that I really don't have anything to do with my aunt. I did get some evidence from Ma Daopo at that time. Just for the sake of third sister, I burned Brother He Huan's face along with Ma Daopo. The reason why I told my aunt that I had her evidence was just to scare her and not want her to take the wrong path again." Tan Chun listened. After hearing Jia Cong's words, he looked at Jia Cong suspiciously, and couldn't help but think about it in his heart.
I don’t know if what the third brother said is true or false. Is it true that there is no evidence as he said, or does he not want to give it?
Based on the relationship between the third brother and himself, since he didn't tell the truth last time, he shouldn't be looking for trouble again, and he has no need to lie to himself. It should be true that there is really no evidence as he said.
It seems that I can only go back and tell my aunt the truth. Tanchun said: "Thank you, third brother, for taking care of my sister all the time. My sister will be a host in the afternoon. I will treat third brother to have a few drinks to express my sister's feelings. I also ask third brother to show your respect." See Tanchun. Believe in yourself, Jia Cong is still very pleased.
He opened his mouth and said with a smile: "Third sister invites you kindly, brother will naturally not refuse. I will go there later and treat third sister to a meal." Tan Chun said with a smile: "Then sister goes back to prepare first, and third brother will come by himself later. Just Qiu Shuangzhai." Jia Cong nodded and said, "Third sister, let's go and do some work first, and I'll go for a walk. I'll be there later." Watching Tan Chun leave, Jia Cong turned around and walked towards Hengwu Courtyard.
When I came to the yard, I saw Ying'er sitting at the door, tying her ribbon there. Seeing Jia Cong coming, he stood up quickly and said with a smile: "My uncle is here, our girl is leaning inside." Hearing that Baochai was resting, Jia Cong didn't rush in and sat at the door, watching While Ying'er was tying her ribbon, she was chatting with her.
"How old is Ying'er this year?" Ying'er answered while holding a ribbon in her hand: "Uncle, this slave is fifteen years old." Jia Cong took a ribbon and looked at it while asking: "What's your original surname?" Huh?" Ying'er said, "My surname is Huang." Jia Cong smiled and said, "That's the right name. It's indeed 'Huang Ying'er.'" Ying'er said with a smile, "My name is originally two words, called Jinying. , the girl found it difficult to speak, so she just called her Ying'er, and now she's gone." Jia Cong said: "Ying'er, why does this ribbon look a bit like the one on my body?" Ying'er pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "Uncle, The tapes you are wearing and the tapes you use in your house were all made by me. Sister Xiren saw that I was good at weaving, so she gave me this job." Jia Cong smiled and said: " So that's it, why do they all look the same in workmanship? Xiren is lazy, but it's troublesome for you, but you are indeed ingenious." Hearing what Jia Cong said, Ying'er's face was full of smiles .
"It's not troublesome. I don't have much to do. I just make up some when I have free time. It's enough for my uncle." Seeing Ying'er's coquettish voice and sweet smile, Jia Cong said with a smile: "Wait for Sister Bao and I. We're married, you can come with us." Ying'er raised her head and glanced at Jia Cong, nodded shyly and happily, and said with a smile: "Uncle, you don't know that our girl has a few things that no one else in the world has. The good thing is, appearance comes second." Jia Cong smiled when he heard this and was a little noncommittal about Ying'er's words.
I have explored everything about Sister Bao. Apart from not having sex as a couple, I have done all the other things that I can and cannot do. What are the benefits that I don't know about?
However, she still asked with a little interest: "Oh, what kind of benefits are they? I have been exploring for so long and I haven't found them yet. You should tell me about them." After hearing this, Ying'er said,
"Pfft" he burst out laughing, his uncle was so interesting. Before the two of them could speak again, a cold snort came from behind.
"Hmph, not only are you two disturbing people's dreams, but you are also talking nonsense together and arranging people behind their backs." Jia Cong looked back, and he didn't know when Xue Baochai was standing behind him.
He stood up and smiled and said: "I just came over and saw Sister Bao resting. I was afraid that you wouldn't have a good rest, so I didn't go in to disturb you. Why don't you sleep a little longer?" Xue Baochai said: "You two kept talking. You're laughing, can I still sleep? Why did you come here by yourself today? Where's Sister Lin? Not with you?" Jia Cong said: "Sister Lin went to Miaoyu's place for tea, and I came over to look for the treasure. Sister." Xue Baochai was a little curious. They used to come together. Since they moved into Hengwuyuan, Jia Cong came alone less often. Could it be that they were quarreling? I have never heard of two people quarreling.
"Brother Cong, have you made Sister Lin angry?" Jia Cong said with a smile: "What are you thinking? I met Third Sister looking for me on the road, and Sister Lin left by herself. I said a few words to Third Sister and came over. Yes." Xue Baochai said with a smile: "So that's it. I thought you two were at odds. Would you like to come in and sit down for a while, or go to the Cuicui Temple to have tea with Miaoyu together?" Jia Cong said with a smile: "Laidu Now that I'm here, I naturally have to sit down for a while. I heard Ying'er say that Sister Bao has some benefits that no one in the world has, and I can just explore and experience them." When Xue Baochai heard this, his face instantly turned red.
"Bah" he said, "You're a disciple."
