Chapter 255
However, since Jia Baoyu was summoned by the emperor and asked in person about the truth about studying things, he was forced by Jia Zheng to study "The Creation of Things in Heaven", "The Complete Book of Agricultural Affairs", "The Square and the Elegance of the Quiet" by Jia Zheng, and "The Elegance of the Quiet" in addition to the Four Books and Five Classics. Miscellaneous arts of sorts.
It's okay to read the first two. Although I can't understand them very well, I can at least memorize them by rote. However, the recently published math theory for Baoyu is like a heavenly book, even if I memorize the formulas in the book. If you know how to solve the problem, you can’t solve the problem or not.
Thanks to Jia Zheng and even the Qingkes beside him, they only had the seven orifices to understand the numbers. He had no idea how to start the school entrance exam, so Baoyu escaped for the time being.
But according to rumors in the government and the public, the emperor was very proficient in this. If the number of students was taken to take the next time he summoned him...
It’s okay if he shows his timidity in front of the king, how can the master be willing to forgive him after he returns home?
"Oh~"
Thinking of this, Jia Baoyu sighed bitterly, threw the book "Fangyuan Chanyou" to the ground with anger, and stepped on it even though he was still angry.
Then he moved to the window and waved to the bird cage hanging under the corridor while whistling twice. Hearing the yellow oriole chirping and cheerful echo, he immediately felt as if he had eaten ginseng fruit.
At this time, he heard a sound of thumping in the pond, Jia Baoyu thought about it again and simply took the fishing rod to find Lin Meimei to fish and relieve her boredom.
Thinking of Lin Meimei, I couldn't help but recall the strange expression and behavior of the master and wife when a minister asked someone to propose marriage the day before yesterday.
Alas ~
Jia Baoyu couldn't help but sigh again, and most of the energy he had just lifted was dissipated.
Just then, a crisp and refreshing voice suddenly came to my ears: "Second Master, are you calling me?"
Jia Baoyu was stunned when he heard this, turned around and looked in the sound, but saw a cute and unfamiliar little maid holding a bouquet of cosmos and chuckling at him.
Baoyu couldn't help but say, "Where did you come from? It scared me."
"We just got the flowers back."
The maid raised the cosmos in her hand and smiled and said, "Just passing by this corridor, I heard the second master whistle through the window, and thought that the second master had something to say - I misunderstood by what he said to me Now.”
Baoyu stared at the pretty maid with decent eyes and continued to inquire with curiosity: "What's your name?"
"Little Red."
"Are you a person in my house?"
"Um."
When Baoyu saw her nodding and admitting, he became more and more surprised: "Since he is from my house, why don't I know you?"
"There are many people whom the second master doesn't know, not just me?"
The little red swayed Zhen's head playfully and said happily and cleverly: "I don't need to serve in the house. I don't do anything about seeing the second master. How could you know him?"
As I was talking, I suddenly heard the laughter of autumn patterns and Bihen coming from outside.
Xiaohong immediately lowered her head and neck, covered the bright colors flashing in her eyes, and whispered: "Since I heard it wrong, I won't disturb the second master."
As he said that, he turned around and walked out.
Baoyu raised his hand behind her, hesitated for a moment and still couldn't stop him.
Xiaohong came out of the study room and saw Qiu Wen and Bihen complained to each other. This one said, "You wet my skirt" and the other said, "You kicked my shoes", but she didn't find herself for a moment. .
If she is always a daily routine, Xiaohong should have shrunk into the corner against the wall and tried to avoid the two of them, but this time she went up to meet her without dodging, and greeted her with a smile: "Sisters, Let me do it.”
Qiu Wen Bihen saw that she came out of the study, and became suspicious. After searching around, she found that only Baoyu was alone inside, and she immediately felt an alarm in her heart.
You should know that the highest status in Baoyu's house is Xiren, Qingwen, and Yuzhe are slightly inferior to them. Now that Qingwen is leaving, there are not only one or two who are thinking about the first-class maids.
It would be fine if it were an ordinary little maid, but Xiaohong was Lin Zhixiao's daughter. It was a pure surprise to fall into an ordinary little maid. Now that I have the opportunity, I may not be able to climb onto everyone in one fell swoop!
Therefore, when Qiu Wen Bihen saw her contact with Baoyu in private, how could she not be nervous?
Without thinking too much, the two chased into the yard and pointed at Xiaohong and asked, "What have you done inside just now?"
"Nothing was done."
Xiaohong said frankly: "Second Master waved through the window just now, and I happened to pass under the window. I thought Second Master asked me to go in, but it turned out to be a misunderstanding, so I quickly withdrew again."
Qiu Wen spat and cursed, "Shameless vulgar things! I asked you to urge you to go and urge you to do something. You insisted that you have to be busy with your job, but you asked us to go. It turned out that we were waiting to do this coincidence.
Where is Zong'er! You don't even look at the mirror, but you don't want the second master to call you through the window!"
Bihen also sneered from the side: "Tomorrow I will tell them that if the Second Master wants tea, water and everything in the study, we should not move, just ask her to go."
Qiu Wen gritted his teeth again: "If you want to say that, it's better for us to part with you. Just let her serve you in this room!"
As he was talking, Xiren brought the newly-collared paper and ink and came back from outside. When he saw the two of them besieging Xiaohong like a mule, he hurriedly stepped forward to find out the reason.
After finding out the cause and effect, Xiren couldn't help but smile and said, "It's just a misunderstanding that Xiaohong should pay attention to not breaking the rules anymore. Is it worth your screaming?"
This was explicitly helping Xiaohong make a comeback, but secretly it was Xiaohong who broke the rules first.
Then she whispered outside the yard: "Since you are idle, you just happened to go to the front yard to ask, and see if there is any other key points this month."
Xiaohong agreed obediently, turned around and hurried out of the yard, and quietly stood outside the door.
Through the threshold, you can still hear the autumn patterns and green scars inside pointing to mulberry and scam, but Xiren cannot stop him.
So her calm little face completely collapsed. Qiu Wen Bihen and the two competitors were fine, but Xiren was obviously very repulsive to her.
You must know that even if Xiao Hong is overwhelmed by Qingwen's lack, she will never be able to surpass Xiren.
But even so, Xiren still...
Xiaohong wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and headed to the outsider of the second door.
As she walked along the way, she was getting farther and farther away from Baoyu, and her heart also felt like she was retreating.
A big maid like Qingwen who is favored by Baoyu can be squeezed out. She offended everyone as soon as she took office. Even if she can really get what she wants, how can she last forever?
It would be better to look elsewhere or even find a good person who can be entrusted to life. Even if it is a small family, it would be better than being in a place where people are unable to do so.
"This is a coincidence, Miss Xiaohong, Miss Xiaohong!"
Just as I was thinking, I suddenly heard someone shouting not far away. I looked up and followed a servant Baoyu, who was smiling and quickly approaching him.
Since Mingyan was sent to Shuntian Mansion, these servants have obviously become much more obedient. When they came to the front, they even gave a solemn greeting, and then smiled and said, "After waiting for the past half day, no one came out, good sister.
, please come in and bring a letter, and say that the second master in the corridor is here."
"What kind of corridor is on and under the corridor?"
At this time, a handsome young man wearing a royal blue scribe robe, with cat eyes on his head and jade belt around his waist came out of the house and said proudly: "When you meet Uncle Bao, you just say that it's Yun'er asking for a meeting.
.”
Only then did Xiaohong realize that it was Mr. Yun of his family.
Because she heard that this brother Yun not only caught the eye of Mr. Jiao, but even Mr. Bao praised him for his down-to-earth work and his motivation, she couldn't help but stare at him for a few times, and her heart was also involuntarily alive.
At the same time, she said, "As far as I tell you, the second master will ask you to go home first. If you have any questions, wait until tomorrow. I will go back tonight if I have time to do it, so as to lay the groundwork for you."
Jia Yun was puzzled when she heard this: "Why is this?"
Xiaohong explained: "Our grandfather didn't sleep well today, so he naturally ate early for dinner. He didn't see any foreign guests at night. Could it be that the second grandfather was waiting for hunger here? Why not go home first and come again tomorrow
It's serious."
As he said that, he took out the handkerchief and wiped his face. When he tucked it back, his hand seemed to slip, and he directly let the handkerchief fall to the ground.
This is also a common plot in the play. What kind of handkerchiefs and tips are like the moon-old coaxing thread. If you are picked up by a man, you will have to be determined to be a life of three lives.
Jia Yun was shocked. After seeing Xiaohong drop the veil, she looked at her and guessed the pretty maid's thoughts. But she smiled quietly and said, "Then I won't bother Uncle Bao."
Now, I have searched these books for new purposes. If you don’t work, I will try to change them.”
As he said that, he took out a few books from his sleeve and handed them to Xiaohong.
Xiaohong hurriedly took it in her hand, and the two looked at each other. Xiaohong lowered her head shyly, turned around and walked back.
Jia Yun watched her go away and sent the servant away again. Looking at the handkerchief on the ground, she couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
If he had been liked by such a pretty maid in the past, he would have been happy to pick up the handkerchief.
However……
Jia Yun is no longer the poor boy who has almost nothing except his surname.
In the past year, following Mr. Jiao has not only avoided the wealth of food and drink, but also broadened his horizons and insights in the yamen. More importantly, Mr. Jiao also promised to do the job by himself and wait until His Majesty lifts the craftsman,
Just help yourself get an official.
If you really have an official position and marry another maid as your official wife, it would obviously be inappropriate.
She may not agree to let her be a concubine.
