Volume C Section 98 Jiafu Fengyun (Middle)
Baoyu was silent.
Brother Feng, you've only been around for a few years, and you've reached the pinnacle where I can't even look up? What if you wait a few more years?
It's ridiculous to think about it, why do you want to compare yourself with Brother Feng? Who in this capital city can compare with him?
is the top student in the top department, and now he is not as good as him, how can he compare with him? Thinking about it like this, Baoyu was at ease in his heart.
It's just that now Sister Bao, Sister Lin, the second sister and the third sister, and even Sister Yun will talk about Brother Feng when they mention the outside, which still makes Baoyu a little disappointed.
Although no one is forcing himself to study now, the third child of the ring took advantage of the situation and jumped out and pretended to be a gesture, which made people panic, as if he could follow Brother Feng's example to read the book and have something to do, but it made his father smile.
Don't pee and take a picture of yourself, Brother Feng is also something he can learn?
Although I thought so in my heart, if the third child of the ring could really take the test to show off his background, I was afraid that it would have some impact on his status in the house.
Although Baoyu doesn't mind or even disdain all this, he is also about to be fourteen years old, and he is not ignorant of everything in this world, and he gradually realizes something.
Look at the Caixia next to his wife now, and the eyebrows of Huan Laosan are far less close to him than the original Jin Chu'er, don't you think Huan Laosan can read it? Thinking of this, Baoyu felt a little heartache, but Jin Chu'er and Yu Chu'er became people in Brother Feng's house.
Seeing that her son's face was a little strange, Mrs. Wang naturally understood Baoyu's thoughts, and said softly: "Baoyu, the Feng family's eldest is incomparable to ordinary people, then your uncle's words, this Great Zhou Dynasty has been able to create all kinds of qi and luck in one for so many decades, and there are few of them, and this Feng family's eldest lang has caught up, fortunately, the Feng family's eldest is friendly with you and Lian'er, which is also an opportunity for our Jia family,......"
"Old lady, my son can save it." Baoyu settled down, knowing his father's and mother's expectations, and nodded, "Brother Feng is indeed a handsome man among people, and his son will also learn from Brother Feng. ”
Jia Zheng's heart is also warm, and his mood is much better, in the past two years, the situation at home has indeed changed somewhat, Baoyu's maturity, Jia Huan's hard study, all in his eyes, the son-in-law inherits the family business, the concubine reads and enters the office, and the Jia family can continue to maintain the glory of the past in this way, this is his greatest wish.
"But father, uncle and Niu Shibo think like this, will Brother Feng accept it?" Jia Baoyu pondered for a moment before saying: "Brother Feng is in his own position, I'm afraid he has to consider the problem from his own point of view, he is now a Shujishi, and the next step is Wenchen, but I am afraid that he may not be completely considered as a disciple of Wuxun." ”
Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang were both worried and happy after being stunned for a while.
In the past, the families were indeed too self-conscious, only thinking that Feng Ziying was a son of Wuxun, no matter how much they had to think about the big guy from the perspective of the Wuxun family, but now Baoyu mentioned it so that he felt that maybe people felt that the road of civil service was his foundation in the future, and he might not be willing to contribute to it.
I am glad that my own Baoyu can actually think of this, which shows that Baoyu is indeed grown up and will consider problems.
"Well, what Baoyu said is reasonable, but after all, the Feng family has to consider his father's status in the army in the future, which your uncle also talked to his father, so he will not completely ignore it, but if he wants to completely abandon his own future and contribute to the Ma family, it is impossible to change us, so let's take a balance point, as Ma Shang himself said, just don't get too involved, don't let the Ma family be destroyed because of this,......"
Jia Zheng is also gloomy, and the sad feeling of such a dead rabbit and fox still makes people a little frightened.
Like the Gongshi family of the country, everyone knows that they are afraid that they will not be saved, so no one is willing to help, there is still hope for the Ma family, everyone is willing to contribute, and I don't know if something like this happens to the Jia family in the future, who will be willing to help?
"Master, I'm afraid it's not easy to handle the proportions of this, didn't my brother say anything?" Mrs. Wang also felt that it was difficult to grasp, this was the first time that the Jia family was so deeply involved in such a major event, and they were a little trembling.
Jia Zheng shook his head, he didn't know how deep the Ma family was, except for Ma Xia, was there anyone else? Before grasping and understanding the situation, who dares to express their position lightly?
He had never been in contact with such a thing before, and he had no experience, but now his brother-in-law, Niu Jizong, and Chen Daoxian are not easy to come forward, and they have to avoid it, but they have to push their own family up, which is not only an honor and opportunity, but it is also a risk.
"Father and mother, isn't my big sister going home tomorrow? Why don't you ask the big sister? Baoyu said suddenly.
"Oh?" Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang exchanged glances, and both nodded slightly.
Yuan Chun is now a historian by the side of the concubine, and it is rare to go home after many years, Ming'er is just returning home, she is by the side of the concubine, she has always been shrewd, and the concubine can also get some news that is difficult to know outside, maybe you can ask her.
Seeing that her suggestion was approved by her parents, Baoyu was also a little happy, "The eldest sister is very smart, and she must know how to deal with such things." ”
********
"Are you saying that Brother Feng is coming to our house tomorrow?" Jia Huanhu looked at Caixia suspiciously, "Why didn't you get any news in the house?" What kind of person is Brother Feng now, I have been to Brother Feng's mansion, according to the people in his mansion, he goes out early and returns late, either Wenyuan Pavilion or the Military Department, or the Hanlin Academy or the Ducha Academy, I don't even have time to go to Qingtan Academy, and it is usually evening when I go home, how can I have time to come to our mansion? ”
"Does the third master still suspect that the slave and maid are lying?" Caixia said anxiously: "The slave maid also saw that the third master went to Uncle Feng's mansion twice and didn't see anyone, so she deliberately inquired, and when she met Second Master Lian and Second Master Bao, she said that Uncle Feng would come over at noon, and it seemed that the master wanted to let Second Master Lian and Second Master Bao accompany him to see Uncle Feng." ”
Jia Huan snorted softly.
He knew that such an official scene would never be his turn to play, it was all Second Brother Lian and Baoyu, and Second Brother Lian was fine, but how could Baoyu be virtuous?
In the day, he either recited poetry and painted or went to the opera garden to mingle for a living, and he studied for three days to fish and dry the nets for two days.
"Okay, third master, the slave can't stay long, go first." Caixia glanced at what seemed to be a sound over there, and hurried away with the lantern.
"Well, Sister Caixia, you're bothered." Jia Huan nodded.
Caixia's face was red, her heart was sweet, but she didn't say anything, just glanced at Jia Huan, and then twisted her body and left.
As soon as I saw Caixia bypassing the rockery over there and not seeing a figure, the lantern here came over, but it was my sister and the maid who served the book.
"Brother Huan, what are you doing here alone?" Tanchun was also very happy to see Jia Huan.
This year, Li Jiahuan studied very seriously, and was praised several times by the teacher of ethnology, saying that he was expected to wait another year or two to take the Xiucai exam, and Aunt Zhao was even more overjoyed, running around to tell each other, and Tanchun was also very excited to hear it.
"It's nothing, it's just a distraction." Jia Huan said lightly.
He didn't have much of a good impression of his sister, who was a fellow mother, very simply, the third sister and Baoyu were too close, he couldn't get used to it, and his aunt often scolded her when she talked about her, which naturally left a worse impression in Jia Huan's mind.
Seeing that Jia Huan's expression was very cold, Tanchun's heart was also sour, she knew that her aunt and this younger brother were not very interested in her, but the pain was that only she understood that Jia Huan's progress made her extremely happy, but many times she could only hide it in her heart, after all, her mother and Baoyu were in front of her, and she had to restrain a little.
In this mansion, I am afraid that only my uncle and Brother Feng can show their appreciation for Brother Huan'er without too many scruples, even my father must have reservations.
Brother Feng admires Jia Huan very much, and Tanchun also learned about it from the waiter, saying that Brother Feng once talked to Jia Huan specifically and encouraged him to study hard and make progress, which made Tanchun very heartwarming.
Second Brother Bao doesn't like to study, that's no way to do it, but Second Brother Bao is a son-in-law, and this family property will be passed on to him sooner or later, and even if he can't read, with the help of the uncle of the Wang family, he can always grace the identity of a national prisoner, and he can donate an official at the worst, but Brother Huan'er may not have such good luck, and he can only rely on himself.
Tanchun also thought about waiting for another two years, if Brother Huan'er was really a seed of reading, he would have put this face on his face and asked Brother Feng to help recommend him to study in the Qingtan Academy.
"If Brother Huan'er is tired of reading, you also need to be relaxed, and it's good to rest and relax,......" Tanchun stood still, "Big sister will come back tomorrow, and Brother Huan'er will also go to see ,......"
"When the eldest sister comes back, I'm afraid I don't want to see a small person like me, I'm afraid I want to see Baoyu, how can I get my turn to do good things in this house?" Jia Huan knew that the eldest sister Yuanchun would come back tomorrow, but he had the impression that the eldest sister didn't seem to care much about himself, so he didn't bother to pick up his stinky feet.
Tanchun was startled and subconsciously looked around, afraid that someone would hear this, and saw that there was no one else around, so he said with a straight face: "Brother Huan'er, don't say such things, why did the house treat you poorly?" ”
"Really? Then why did the uncle and father specially invite Brother Feng to the mansion to talk about it, and the second brother Lian and Baoyu both knew about it and wanted to participate, but this kind of news specifically avoided me? Jia Huan said coldly.
