Volume B Section 161 The sword goes sideways

"Brother Cong, it is impossible for Baoyu to join the army,...... "Mrs. Wang preemptively, this is not possible.

"Uh, in the army?" Feng Ziying was almost intimidated by Mrs. Wang, you dare to say it, I don't dare to respond, Baoyu's virtue, you dare to say that you are in the army? Even I never dared to think that he would join the army.

"No, no, my aunt said far away, the little nephew didn't say that Baoyu would join the army, the Jia family started with military merits, that is the road of nine deaths and a lifetime, and Baoyu can't stand it." Feng Ziying hurriedly comforted Jia Zheng and his family.

It happened that Jin Chu'er, who was beside Mrs. Wang, brought the tea in, remembering that Baoyu's absurdity caused the girl to finally throw herself into the well and die, Feng Ziying couldn't help but take a second look when she took the tea.

It's not that he hasn't seen Jin Chu'er, but that was a year ago, and after another year, this girl has grown more round and jade, plus her skin is fair and delicate, she is really a beautiful embryo, and she is sad that Baoyu is going to forcibly eat rouge.

Jia Zheng didn't care, but Mrs. Wang noticed it keenly.

Thinking of the Feng family that I heard that only a personal maid was assigned to this Feng family man, I originally thought that this was the Feng family's cold, but now it seems that this is the Feng family's intention to self-discipline and abide by their duties, no wonder this Feng Dalang can read books, but this Feng family Lang seems to have fallen in love with Jin Chu'er, this girl?

People like Mrs. Wang naturally don't look at a maid in their eyes, even if they are the big maids around them, but if they want to compare it with their own Baoyu's future, it is not a matter.

Now the Feng family is already a person, the Feng family and the Jia family are good friends, and the relationship between the Feng family and the Jia family is not a matter of giving this girl and her sister Yu Chu'er to the Feng family as a personal maid, but they can still sell the Feng family Lang, and if these two girls go to the Feng family, they can also say good things for the Jia family and Baoyu from time to time.

Feng Ziying naturally didn't expect that her casual glance at Jin Chu'er would attract Mrs. Wang's crazy brain, which also shows his status and weight in the minds of Jia Zheng and his family, coupled with the previous overwhelming favor, so every move can make Mrs. Wang pay so much attention.

"Brother Keng, what other suitable path can Baoyu have?" Since he vetoed the path of joining the army, Jia Zheng couldn't think of any other way, so he couldn't help but lean forward and asked.

This is really a matter of concern, father and son are connected.

"Uncle Shi, aunt, although Baoyu can't read, there is still a difference in this reading." Feng Ziying took a sip of tea unhurriedly and put down the teacup.

Well? What does this mean? Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang were both puzzled.

"Baoyu is not interested in the scriptures, and he can't read it, let alone the policy theory, so there is almost no hope for taking the road of scientific research, but Baoyu still has some literary talent in poetry and songs, and it is not without merit,......

Before Feng Ziying's words were finished, Jia Zheng had already shook his head and smiled bitterly.

This can write poetry and have a fart use! Hundreds of years ago, the imperial court didn't test poetry and songs!

In other words, Shilin Wenchen does not understand poetry and poetry, at most he says that you lack elegant bones, but it does not affect you to be an official, but you don't know how to be an official, and you don't understand the policy theory, and you are not even qualified to be an official.

To put it nicely, poetry and poetry are the icing on the cake to add to the compelling things, the literati have this ability to make you more famous in the Shilin, but it can't help you gain a firm foothold in the Shilin, in the final analysis, it depends on whether you can pass the imperial examination.

For Baoyu, there are no basic qualifications, even if he can make two crooked poems, what is the point?

"Virtuous nephew, Baoyu can indeed write two poems that are not in the climate, but what is the point? You can't seek an official, nor can you make a living from it, so you can't just rely on this to entertain yourself at home, right? Jia Zheng sighed.

"No, Uncle Shi, I didn't mean that." Feng Ziying was still unhurried, "I mean, since Baoyu can't read the scriptures and theories, then he might as well spend more time on poetry and songs, well, you can also let him participate in more literati field trips to increase his reputation,......"

Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang finally reacted, not to rely on this poetry and song to plan anything, but to rely on this poetry and song to increase their reputation, what is the purpose of increasing their reputation?

Seeing that the two mothers came back to their senses, Feng Ziying smiled slightly, "After all, poetry and poetry are still highly respected by everyone in our scholars, and if poetry is done well, it can also gain a great reputation, since Baoyu does not like to talk about righteousness and righteousness, and does not make a living, so if you want to maintain the future Jia family, it is very important to find a suitable marriage partner, and the little nephew feels that if Baoyu can gain some reputation in this regard, it may not be possible to find a suitable family." ”

Feng Ziying especially accentuated the tone of these words in the door, which naturally meant something.

The Jia family and other martial artists are no longer popular, they all rely on the afterglow to mess around, and they are declining day by day, everyone knows it, civil officials basically will not look for Wuxun's children, so the rest of the group is self-evident.

If the Jia family can neither produce scholars, nor enough livelihood support, then the decline of the next generation or even the fall of the family is a high probability event, Jia Zheng is not unclear about this, the Xue family and the historian have gradually emerged, and in another ten years, maybe the Xue family historian will be obscure to everyone, and after another twenty years, will the Jia family not follow in the footsteps?

If you want the Jia family not to collapse so quickly, Jia Baoyu can only rely on marriage to find a strong enough backer when she can't study and make a living.

If you want people to look down on you, you have to have something eye-catching, Baoyu has a good skin, not to mention the big face plate is quite attractive, but this is not enough, if you are famous in a little poetry, then you may be able to have some opportunities.

Jia Zheng and the others also understand that Jia Baoyu's best marriage partner can no longer be the Wuxun family, but the civil official family will definitely not find a martial artist who has not even been in Xiucai, except for the civil official, then there are only royal relatives.

Feng Ziying didn't point it out, but Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang both came to their senses.

Indeed, if you want to find a more long-term and stable backer, then the civil official group cannot be found, then it can only be the royal family.

The royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty has always liked to be vassally elegant and has great respect for the literati of Shilin, but the civil official group has never liked to marry with the royal family, that is, the emperor's harem is to be selected, and the civil official group is respectful and will never send their daughter into the palace.

Seeing Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang's heart-pounding appearance, Feng Ziying knew that she had moved the other party's mind with this hand, but it was not so simple to rely on the royal family.

There are many heirs of the emperor today, but most of these heirs are not young, such as Prince Yizhong is the eldest and is in his early fifties, and the fourth emperor is close to fifty, and Prince Zhongshun is the ninth, which is the youngest, and it is more than forty.

Baoyu is only twelve now, which means that it will be three or five years before he can talk about marriage, so these suitable women in the royal family have to choose a good target.

And if you choose others, people will also choose you, you are a declining heir of the second house of the Guogong, to be honest, there is no other addition, I am afraid it is difficult to impress people with a single face, so Feng Ziying suggested that Jia Baoyu should work poetry and literature to make a name, so that he can have the opportunity to fight for this.

I have to say that Feng Ziying pointed out a clear path for Jia Zheng and his wife, and after thinking about it, Jia Zheng and his wife felt that this was probably the most suitable and practical path for Baoyu.

Not to mention the princess, even if you can marry a more reliable county lord, the stability and wealth of the Jia family can barely be maintained for a few more decades.

Seeing that Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang were moved, Feng Ziying finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This matter finally has a clear direction, at least I know which direction to work into, and this side can be regarded as an explanation for Baoyu.

Born with a good skin, plus can play a little poetry and wine, uh, see if you can impress a certain princess county lord, how do you feel a little like you want to "serve people in Israel"?

There was a silence in the study, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang were judging the gains and losses, and Feng Ziying also knew that it was not easy to be a concubine, Da Zhou's concubine sounded very awesome, but the taste may not be good, and it depends on whether you have the ability to make the princess princess surrender, otherwise you will sleep with a certain ugly princess princess for the rest of your life.

All in all, if you have something to offer, you have to lose something, and that's normal.

Feng Ziying can think of it, Jia Zheng and his wife can also think of it, but for now, this is indeed the most reliable option, not to mention that the princess is not ignorant of the virtuous and beautiful people, like Wei Ruolan's mother is a virtuous princess recognized by the Great Zhou, and even took the initiative to take a concubine for her husband, which depends on luck and ability.

In the end, Jia Zheng nodded: "Virtuous nephew, ...... Baoyu here"

"Uncle Shi, aunt, in the opinion of the little nephew, let Baoyu stay up for a few days first, let him taste the taste of unpleasant food and sleep, so that he can cherish the hard-won opportunity in the future, don't be willful, of course, this is still a few years later, but you need to start training now, well, I don't think it's difficult for Baoyu,......"

Feng Ziying's words made Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang both nod slowly.

Let Baoyu boil it up, first try to taste the taste of all kinds of social beatings that he may face when he grows up in the future, maybe it will really help him grow up, and let him understand that nothing is easy to get.
