Jia Baoyu is an elegant man, at least he thinks so.
Even though he hated the imperial examination and the reading related to the imperial examination, he did not hate reading itself. Ever since he was a child, he learned to read and write from his half-sister Yuanchun, and he had fallen in love with reading.
However, what he likes are usually miscellaneous books that have little to do with the imperial examination, such as poems and songs, such as "Nanhua Sutra", also known as "Zhuangzi"...
Jia Baoyu also had a self-titled name, "King of Flowers of Jiangdong". His current residence in Rongguo Mansion was also named "Jiangyunxuan" by him, and he wrote the plaque himself.
It was already midnight. At this time in the past, Jia Baoyu would have gone to bed early.
An accident happened today. I saw that the lights in Jiangyunxuan were still on. Jia Baoyu was sitting at the desk writing lyrics. There were two maids serving in the room, one was She Yue and the other was Qiu Wen.
Since being stimulated by Lin Daiyu today, Jia Baoyu has been staying in Jiangyunxuan to write lyrics.
On the surface, Jia Baoyu did not dare to tell Mrs. Jia, Mrs. Wang said so. After all, he was now an imperial examination student in the Imperial College, and writing lyrics was not a serious matter for him, let alone staying up late to write lyrics.
What Jia Baoyu said was that he was studying hard, well, studying related to the imperial examination. This made Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang very happy. Baoyu actually studied so hard. It seems that going to the Imperial College is really beneficial.
Yes, if this continues, maybe he will actually be able to pass the imperial examination and enter an official career in the future!
Joy is joy, expectation is expectation, but Jia Mu still dotes on Jia Baoyu. Not only did she personally come to tell Jia Baoyu to rest early and not to hurt her body by staying up late, but she also specially asked Yuanyang to sleep late tonight to help keep an eye on Jia Baoyu.
, be sure to let Jia Baoyu fall asleep before midnight, but not still studying in the middle of the night.
It was midnight at this time. Yuanyang walked into Jiangyunxuan, Sheyue and Qiuwen walked up to her. Yuanyang asked quietly: "What time is it? Why don't you let Mr. Bao sleep?"
She Yue couldn't laugh or cry: "We have said this several times, but he refused to go to bed. Just now, we said it to him again, but he scolded us."
mandarin duck:"……"
Yuanyang knows that although Jia Baoyu is incompetent, he is generally gentle and kind to his sisters in the family, not to mention his personal maids like She Yue and Qiu Wen, even the little maids and rough maids.
, he rarely scolds, but now, Jia Baoyu actually scolded She Yue, Qiu Wen.
After Yuanyang reacted, he couldn't laugh or cry: "This is really crazy!"
She Yue whispered: "It's not Miss Lin who caused it. It's all good, it made him rack his brains to write the lyrics. He has been writing for two or three hours, and he still doesn't know when he will fall asleep after writing.
, he might not be able to sleep tonight."
Through Qian Xue’s mouth, we all know the mandarin ducks, musk moons, and autumn patterns. Jia Baoyu is not studying hard tonight, but writing lyrics. The reason is that after he came home from the Imperial Academy today, he suffered from Lin Daiyu.
Exciting, I want to write better words than "Linjiang Fairy - Catkins".
They did not dare to tell Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang about it, for fear of offending Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang would be angry, and for fear of Jia Baoyu, and Lin Daiyu would be criticized for this.
Yuanyang said: "It's not entirely Miss Lin's fault. Although I haven't read any books, I also know that the emperor's poem published in "Qingbao" today is excellent. Second girl, third girl, fourth girl They all like her very much, even the old lady and the second master praised her, so it’s no wonder that Miss Lin likes her very much."
"It happens that Second Master Bao cares about Miss Lin. Seeing that Miss Lin likes the emperor's words very much, he actually wants to compare. This is wrong with Second Master Bao. How can he compare with the Emperor? If this matter spreads If the Emperor hears it, it might even cause trouble!"
Another reason why Qian Xue, Yuanyang, She Yue and Qiu Wen dare not tell Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang about this matter is that this matter involves the current emperor, and it would be a crime for Jia Baoyu to compare with the emperor!
She Yue said: "What should we do now? Is it possible to let him stay up like this all night?"
Yuanyang said: "I'm just afraid that he won't be able to write anything better than the emperor's poem after staying up all night. He will continue to write it tomorrow, and he will continue to stay up tomorrow night or even the night after."
Qiu Wen was anxious: "Good sister, go and persuade him. If we continue to persuade him, we will be scolded again. If you persuade him, he will not scold you."
Yuanyang nodded: "Forget it, I'll try to persuade him, but I don't know if it will work or not."
Alas, what kind of thing is this? Meeting such a master and young master who does not do serious things all day long!
Yuanyang sighed in his heart and walked to Jia Baoyu. Jia Baoyu didn't notice that he was concentrating on writing lyrics, and a pile of crumpled scrap manuscripts had been thrown on the desk...
Well, if Jia Baoyu can maintain such enthusiasm in writing, with his talent, even if he cannot pass the imperial examination and enter an official career, he will probably become an accomplished poet and writer.
Unfortunately, this kind of thing is impossible. For Jia Baoyu, apart from liking his sisters, he has almost no perseverance in doing anything else.
"Second Master Bao." Yuanyang shouted first.
Jia Baoyu then raised his head and looked at Yuanyang. After being stunned for a moment, he smiled and said, "Good sister, you are here again."
Although he has written lyrics like crazy tonight, even scolding She Yue and Qiu Wen, he is still gentle and kind to Yuanyang, because Yuanyang is beautiful and is one of the good sisters who I heard he wanted to get close to but is not easy to get close to. .
Even though Jia Baoyu is the treasured young master of Rongguo Mansion, there are still three good sisters in Rongguo Mansion that he is not easy to get close to. One is Yuanyang, the other is Ping'er, and the other is the beautiful nun Miao who lives in the Grand View Garden Cuicui Nunnery. Jade, there used to be a Xue Baochai.
The reason why it is not easy for Jia Baoyu to get close to Yuanyang is that Yuanyang is Jia Mu's chief maid, and Yuanyang is a steady and law-abiding person, so he will not get close to Jia Baoyu easily.
Yuanyang squeezed out a smile and said: "Second Master Bao, don't blame me for being verbose. It's already midnight, why don't you go to bed? Don't forget, you have to go to the Imperial College tomorrow morning. If you continue tonight If you keep going through it, I'm afraid I won't be able to get up early tomorrow. Even if I can get up early, how can I have the energy to study in the Imperial College?"
Jia Baoyu said: "Good sister, please leave me alone. I have something important to do tonight. You can go to sleep. It doesn't matter if I stay up late, but I can't drag you into staying up late. If you get hurt because of this, I will feel sorry for you."
Already."
Yuanyang smiled bitterly and said: "I want to sleep too, but the old lady told me before going to bed that I must look after you. I can't sleep until you fall asleep. If I fall asleep before you, the old lady will sleep tomorrow."
You’re going to scold me.”
Jia Baoyu frowned and said, "Just go to bed first. If you don't tell me about this, and I won't tell you either, how will the old lady know?"
Yuanyang said: "That won't work. I can't lie to the old lady."
Jia Baoyu said: "But I really have something important to do tonight. I won't be able to sleep until I finish it."
Yuanyang couldn't help but said bluntly: "The important thing? It's just that you saw that Miss Lin liked the emperor's poem, so you became interested in comparison and wanted to write a better poem so that Miss Lin would also like it."
Jia Baoyu: "..."
Yuanyang continued: "Don't blame me for talking too much. What's the big deal about this kind of thing? Since the second master asked the emperor for permission to become the school supervisor of the Imperial College, you should cherish it, study hard, and be admitted to the Jinshi in the future, and then become a
Officer, how can you spend more time on things like poetry?"
When Jia Baoyu heard these words, he immediately didn't care that the other party was Sister Yuanyang, and his face darkened: "Sister, please go back quickly, don't stay here anymore, you know the imperial examination career!"
Yuanyang couldn't help but blush: "..."
Under the embarrassment, Yuanyang had no intention of persuading him any more, and immediately turned away and said to She Yue and Qiu Wen: "Second Master Bao is really crazy tonight, that's all, I don't dare to persuade him anymore, at worst I won't be here tonight."
Go to bed, stay up all night, and get scolded by the old lady tomorrow."
After saying that, Yuanyang walked away, and Sheyue and Qiuwen looked at each other.
…
…
That night, Jia Baoyu really didn't sleep at all and spent the whole night writing lyrics.
From being stimulated by Lin Daiyu yesterday to this morning, Jia Baoyu wrote more than a dozen poems in one go. It must be said that he was really productive!
This morning, Jia Baoyu picked out a few songs that he thought were good and brought them to Lin Daiyu's room. He handed several lyrics to Lin Daiyu, who was dressing up in the mirror: "Here you go!"
Lin Daiyu smiled deliberately and asked: "What is this?"
She also knew that after she provoked Jia Baoyu away yesterday, Jia Baoyu had been staying in Jiangyunxuan to write lyrics. She even knew that Jia Baoyu stayed up all night last night.
If it were based on the original work, Lin Daiyu would feel very sorry for Jia Baoyu in this situation, and she would even stay up all night last night.
However, due to the appearance of Jia Yun, a time traveler, Lin Daiyu's current favorable impression of Jia Baoyu is not as strong as in the original work. Her favorable impression of Jia Yun is now higher than that of Jia Baoyu.
Therefore, Lin Daiyu just felt a little distressed at the moment.
Jia Baoyu said: "A few of the new poems I wrote, do you think they are good or not?"
After Lin Daiyu paused, she still read a few poems, while Jia Baoyu stood motionless and stared at her, eager to hear her say that his poems were better than Jia Yun's...
Unfortunately, the result disappointed Jia Baoyu.
After Lin Daiyu carefully read a few poems, she smiled at Jia Baoyu and said: "There are indeed good poems among these, but none of them can compare with "Linjiang Fairy - Catkins"."
As expected of Lin Daiyu, the truth is there!
Jia Baoyu: "..."
Resisting the urge to cry, Jia Baoyu said depressedly: "Why can't it be compared to his poem? I think that more than one of these poems is better than that poem, but you can't tell it.
!”
Lin Daiyu suddenly frowned: "Since you think so, why did you bother to show it to me? I saw it and told my opinion, but you just said that I couldn't see it!"
Jia Baoyu: "You...you..."
Seeing that Jia Baoyu's face was red with anger and he was about to use his big move to hit the psychic Baoyu, Qianxue hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Second Master Bao, it's getting late. You should go to the Imperial College to go to school. If you don't leave, be careful of the Second Master."
coming soon."
When Jia Baoyu heard this, he was immediately frightened. He immediately didn't care about making a big move against Lin Daiyu. He let out a "hum" and walked away.
Lin Daiyu glared at Qianxue: "You are the weird one who always scares him with such words."
Qianxue smiled and said: "I am doing it for the girl's own good. If I don't scare him away like this and let him cause trouble in front of the girl, it will hurt the girl again."
Lin Daiyu let out a "hum" and looked at the mirror in front of her, looking at herself in the mirror. As she looked at it, she couldn't help crying, woo woo woo...
Qianxue: "..."
I thought to myself that you didn’t suffer much grievance this time, but Mr. Bao was very wronged. Why are you crying again?
But Qianxue is already used to this. If Lin Daiyu doesn't like crying, is she still Lin Daiyu?
…
…
On this day, Jia Baoyu listened to his classmates in the Imperial College discuss the matter of submitting articles to "Qing Bao".
Suddenly, he had an idea and thought: "Sister Lin looks down on my lyrics, why don't I submit my poems to "Qingbao". With these few poems of mine, they will definitely be published. Once published, they will definitely be published.
It will be praised and praised by others. In this way, it proves that my lyrics are also excellent, and it also proves that Sister Lin is wrong!"
Thinking of this, Jia Baoyu did not go back to Rongguo Mansion immediately after school that day. Instead, he went to the "Qingbao" newspaper office in Dongsuier Hutong, which was near the Imperial College.
After arriving at the newspaper office, Jia Baoyu found that there were several guardsmen and soldiers standing guard at the door of the newspaper office. He was frightened and immediately flinched. After hesitation, he gritted his teeth, stepped forward, gave his name and family, and asked to see Cheng Huanian.
Cheng Huanian, who was staying at the newspaper office, was surprised when he learned that Jia Baoyu suddenly asked for an audience. Then someone took Jia Baoyu into his office. When Jia Baoyu handed some of his poems to Cheng Huanian, he said that he wanted to submit them.
, Cheng Huanian was surprised again.
Although many people have come to the newspaper to submit articles recently, including many noble princes and many students from the Imperial College, Jia Baoyu still surprised Cheng Huanian. Cheng Huanian knew Rongguo Mansion and Jia Baoyu.
.
"Sir, I want to publish these poems in Qingbao. Please take a look at them carefully," Jia Baoyu said to Cheng Huanian.
Cheng Huanian couldn't laugh or cry, thinking that even if you wanted to publish poems in "Qing Bao", it would be great to publish just one poem. How many poems do you want to publish at once?
Cheng Huanian carefully reviewed a few poems, and after a while he put down the manuscript.
Cheng Huanian said to Jia Baoyu: "Brother Bao, you are not old, but your poetry writing is not bad. You are worthy of being a son of Rongguo Mansion. However, your poems are still not ready for publication in Qingbao"
, if you really want to publish poems in "Qing Bao", you can continue to practice, and you may have the opportunity in the future."
Jia Baoyu: "..."
In my mind: Oh my God, it’s just that Sister Lin looks down on my words, but she even looks down on my words like this idiot in front of me? He...he...hum!
Alas, the big-faced baby is wronged again.
What he didn't know was that he was about to be beaten again...
