"Yo, of course it's okay for Ziying to come back to me for a drink, but why did I drink with my fox friends and dogs all day long?" Jia Lian's voice appeared outside the door just right, "It can be regarded as a time to slander my reputation in front of the old ancestor, no wonder the old ancestor and my mother don't like me all day long, and you dare to love you behind this." ”

Jia Lian said with a smile in his words, and Wang Xifeng was also trembling with laughter, "Look at this one in our family, no one is allowed to say it, Ping'er, do you tell me if this is the truth?" ”

Feng Ziying noticed the woman standing behind Wang Xifeng, her beautiful eyes were longing, but her cheeks were dignified and charming, a red piping and gold silk long skirt, and a red polka dot sweat towel on a white background in her hand, which was really a character who could compete with mandarin ducks in the book.

Seeing that Wang Xifeng handed over the topic to her at once, he was not in a hurry: "You are the master's family, don't you want to pull us people in, the city gate is on fire and affects the pond fish, where can we afford it?" The old ancestor has to make decisions for us, otherwise there will be another Dou E in the house. ”

A sentence Dou E made everyone present laugh, and Jia's mother laughed so much that she only fell: "Ping girl, you don't let your grandmother with this mouth at all, and Dou E is back, what has become of the phoenix girl?" Lord Prefect? ”

The whole room was filled with the sound of warblers and swallows, and there was a lot of laughter.

After a while, Jia Mu stopped and said: "Yo, there are still guests here, but it makes people see jokes, Brother Keng, the family is like this, a bunch of pungent people, and they don't pay attention to ,......"

"Didn't the ancestors say that they should belong to one family, so how can they divide each other? What's more, such a happy scene, I'm afraid that other families can't think of it, as the saying goes, there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, it is also thanks to the living Bodhisattva like the ancestor you sitting here, the children and nephews in the house can be so stable, Ziying is envy can not envy ah. ”

Jia Mu was even more dazzled and smiling when she said this, especially when she heard Feng Ziying say that she was a living bodhisattva, she felt comfortable in her heart, and her impression of Feng Ziying became better and better.

However, Mrs. Wang still remembered her son's affairs, and changed the topic: "Brother Cong, I heard Mandarin Duck also talk about it before, and your Uncle Zhengshi also talked to you about Baoyu's reading, I don't know if you think Baoyu is ...... studying."

Although she feels sorry for Baoyu's hard work, Mrs. Wang is not unaware of her husband's thoughts.

If you don't study, there will be a lot of problems in inheriting Jiafu in the future, no matter whether Rongguofu will be divided in the future or not, Jia Lian is the eldest son of the long house, and he will definitely attack the lord, and if Baoyu does not divide the family in the future, and there is no interest, I am afraid that he will be squeezed by the long house.

If you split up, you don't read this book, you can't attack the lord, you can't be an official, you can't do anything, and Baoyu is not the kind of person who can make a living, then you will really become a loser and just wait for the gloom to fall.

This kind of situation is very common in the homes of nobles, especially the two-bedroom and three-bedroom houses that are not long houses.

"So that Auntie can rest assured, Uncle Shi and Ziying have also discussed, at the moment, Baoyu should still find a suitable tutor in the house, or set up a private school, and invite a more clever tutor to teach Baoyu to read, and after the Bao brothers turn fourteen, according to the situation at that time, whether to enter the academy or go to Guozijian to study."

Feng Ziying patiently explained again, and Mrs. Wang nodded again and again.

Coming out of the mouth of this Feng family elder, she was down-to-earth, and she also felt that this opinion took into account the actual situation of her son, and also gave two paths, and did not forcibly require Baoyu to be admitted to Xiucai or lifted.

"Brother Cong, you have also come into contact with a lot of students from the north and south in the academy, right?" Thinking of her husband being so preoccupied, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but look forward to it, "Then do you think Baoyu can enter the academy in the future?" ”

This sentence immediately made the entire originally noisy room suddenly silent, and everyone's eyes converged on Feng Ziying, obviously wanting to hear a satisfactory but solid answer.

Even Jia Baoyu looked at Feng Ziying nervously, her heart was full of hesitation, apprehension and contradictory, and she didn't know how Brother Feng would answer this question.

Feng Ziying was also choked.

How to answer this question? I'm afraid it's hard to be satisfied with good or bad, and this is what will be revealed in three or four years, how can you be liar?

After pondering for a while, it seemed to be weighing and assessing the current status of Jia Baoyu's qualifications, Feng Ziying coughed dryly twice before saying slowly: "Ancestor, aunt, Brother Bao must be much stronger than the little nephew in terms of qualifications and understanding, and the little nephew has also heard of the articles and poems written by Brother Bao Pingsuli, and he is quite talented, but in front of the old ancestor, aunt and Brother Bao, the little nephew also told the truth, in the past, he was too lenient with Brother Bao, maybe this is related to Brother Bao's age is too young, and the next step is to hire a more clever teacher, Brother Bao, a normative professor, only needs to make up the foundation of scripture and righteousness, and I don't think it is a big problem for Brother Bao to enter the academy,......"

If you don't like it, Feng Ziying will never do it, a group of women and Taoist families, you dare to say that Jia Baoyu is not good, no matter how true and objective it is, it will not be pleased, especially people like Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, who have long regarded Jia Baoyu as rare in the sky and unparalleled in the ground.

You can only say a little euphemism what you need to do to make its "golden and jade" side fully revealed, if you still don't reach the goal in the future, it must be the teacher's fault, how can it be Baoyu's problem?

Sure enough, Feng Ziying's very "objective" words made Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang smile happily, yes, it is understandable to be a little less lenient, the next step is to standardize, Baoyu is still okay to study.

As soon as this "conclusion" came out, the atmosphere in the whole room immediately became lively again.

Feng Ziying really didn't want to stay in this environment anymore, even if the Yingying Yanyan in this house were all kinds of girls who praised the reputation in the book, but under this dazzling situation, she had to deal with it in a polite manner, which was too hard.

Fortunately, Jia Lian is also an interesting person, and hurriedly came forward to excuse Feng Ziying, and said goodbye again, Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang also took turns to tell them to come often, and after Feng Ziying had to agree, Jia Lian led Feng Ziying out.

"Second Brother Lian, you have to suffer such a 'condemnation' every day, and your life is not easy." Feng Ziying and Jia Lian stepped out of Jia's mother's courtyard before they said with a smile.

"Who's to say it isn't?" Jia Lian also sighed, "Our Jia family is still a little bit yin and yang, and Baoyu is messing around in this fat powder pile all day long, which is really not a problem." ”

"Is he still a child, just wait two more years." Feng Ziying said indispensably: "Isn't there still you who is the second brother?" Rongguo Mansion will depend on you and your second sister-in-law to carry it in the future,......"

Jia Lian glanced at Feng Ziying with a strange expression, and lowered his voice: "You swore so much in front of the old ancestor and the second aunt before, and now ......"

"Second Brother Lian, what I'm talking about is that if you can make up your mind to hire a serious and standardized professor Baoyu in the past four years, and Baoyu can also calm down and study, then maybe you will be able to enter the academy, but if you can't do this, then I can't help it."

Feng Ziying spread her hands very calmly, "I will also solemnly warn him on Baoyu's side, he must study hard, otherwise he will only have the share of entering the Guozijian in the future, and when the time comes, he will not be able to complain about me, well, Second Brother Lian, have you and I also been in the Guozijian?" It's not a bad idea, is it? ”

Jia Lian laughed, this topic is really interesting, entering the country is indeed a way for Wu Xun's children, but I am afraid that it may not be able to satisfy many people with too high expectations.

There were no more outsiders invited for this meal.

There are only two brothers, Jia Lian, Jia Baoyu and Feng Ziying.

Jia Baoyu naturally can't drink, ten years old is too young, but Feng Ziying is also very restrained, but under Jia Lian's courteous persuasion, Feng Ziying also drank a few glasses.

I have to say that this age and physique still have some influence, the last time Feng Ziying didn't drink much, she felt a little drunk, and today she drank it in the warm pavilion, the earth dragon burned too hot, and the strength of this wine came up faster.

Although Jia Baoyu was afraid of the hard life of going to the academy, he was particularly interested in all kinds of things in the academy.

Feng Ziying didn't have anything to hide, she told some stories about the academy with a big grin, and made Jia Baoyu envious, but when she thought of her own situation, she could only shake her head and sigh.

This is easier said than done, if you really want to enter the academy, I am afraid that there will be no such infinite scenery as Brother Feng said, that day the three watches are lit up and the five watches are chickens, and the days when the head is cantilevered and the cone is pierced, it is really difficult, and I am afraid that no one in the academy will recognize you as the grandson of Rongguo, they are all ordinary people, and they are treated equally, and if you want the scenery, you have to have your own skills.

As bullish as Brother Feng, he had to walk dozens of miles to study in the academy by himself, and seven or eight people slept in the Chase Bunk together, and even had to grow vegetables and pick dung to irrigate the garden, Jia Baoyu couldn't do this alone.

When Wang Xifeng came back with Ping'er and Feng'er, it was already afternoon.

Seeing that a few people were still drinking happily in the house, he was also a little surprised, and when Jia Lian came out, he asked: "What's the matter today, why is Baoyu going to drink secretly, and I'm not afraid that my wife will blame you?" ”

"After the Chinese New Year, I drank one or two cups of sweet wine, Baoyu is afraid that she also wants to study, but she is afraid that she will not be able to endure hardship, so she is changing her way to inquire about the situation of the academy." Jia Lian didn't care.
