The Imperial College Jijiu, also known as the Principal of the Imperial College, is a fourth-grade civil servant.
Jia Yun was very "careful" about Jia Baoyu and Qin Zhong. Not only did they become special shadow supervisors of the Imperial College, but they were also prohibited from fooling around together. In addition, Jia Yun also specially greeted the Imperial College with a wine offering.
Let the Imperial Academy offer wine and strictly discipline the two of them.
Although Jia Yun's main purpose of doing this is to restrain Jia Baoyu and Qin Zhong, this kind of thing is also an opportunity for Jia Baoyu and Qin Zhong. If the two become successful and study hard in the Imperial College, Jia Yun will not be the same in the future.
I don't mind letting the two of them pursue official careers.
He didn't dare to neglect the Imperial College's offering of wine, but he was very busy himself and had no time or energy to strictly discipline the two boys, Jia Baoyu and Qin Zhong, so he asked Meng Peida, the director of the Imperial College, to be responsible for this matter.
The Secretary of the Imperial College is equivalent to the vice-president of the Imperial College. This is a full-grade civil servant of the sixth grade.
As the director of the Imperial Academy, Meng Peida was also very busy with his work. It was an honor for Jia Baoyu and Qin Zhong to have his special care.
Ever since Jia Baoyu became a special graduate student of the Imperial College, his performance in the Imperial College has not been good these days, especially today...
Meng Peida felt that he had to do something. After all, the emperor personally ordered Jia Baoyu to be strictly disciplined. If he continued to let it go like this, Meng Peida was worried that he might be punished for it in the future. If this happened, it would be ridiculous.
How could he, the dignified Imperial College Secretary, be punished because of Jia Baoyu?
In the evening of that day, Meng Peida specially rode a carriage to Rongguo Mansion to ask for an audience with Jia Zheng. When Jia Zheng learned that Meng Peida was coming, he did not hesitate and personally greeted Meng Peida at the door of the study outside.
In terms of official rank, Meng Peida, the Imperial College Secretary, was only a sixth-grade civil servant, while Jia Zheng, as a member of the Ministry of Works, was a fifth-grade civil servant, one level higher than Meng Peida. In terms of family background, Meng Peida was not as good as Jia Zheng.
, After all, Jia Zheng is the head of the Rongguo Mansion, but Jia Zheng respects Meng Peida!
Those who hold the Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine service and the Imperial Academy's office must be a Jinshi or a Hanlin scholar. Meng Peida was a Jinshi scholar and also served as a Hanlin scholar.
Jia Zheng took Meng Peida into the outer study room very politely. After the two sat down, Meng Peida said: "I have an impromptu visit today, and I'm coming in the evening. I apologize for the inconvenience."
Jia Zheng smiled and said: "Meng Siye's presence is a great addition to the sky. Why bother? I just don't know why Meng Siye came here today."
Although Jia Zheng always attached great importance to studying and respected Meng Peida as a Jinshi, Hanlin, and Siye, he had no friendship with Meng Peida. In his opinion, Meng Peida's visit today was probably related to Jia Baoyu.
Sure enough, Meng Peida said: "To be honest, I am temporarily disturbing you today because of the affairs of Mr. Zheng's son."
Without waiting for Jia Zheng to ask, Meng Peida continued: "The emperor has ordered the Master Jijiu of the Imperial Academy to strictly discipline Brother Bao. The Master Jiujiu has assigned me this job. How can I dare to neglect him?"
When Jia Zheng heard this, he thought it might not be a good thing, and his expression became serious.
Meng Peida said: "According to my observation, Brother Bao has not studied hard in the Imperial College these days. He is not paying attention in class and is often in a daze. Today he frequently fell asleep in class. At the end of the day, he fell asleep in the Imperial College for three or four days.
hour."
"I asked him why he was like this? He first said that he stayed up late last night studying, so I asked him how he studied last night, but he hesitated and couldn't answer. I knew I was cheating, so I asked him a few more stern questions, but he didn't know what to do.
Responded."
"It can be seen that it is true that he stayed up late last night, but it is false that he studied hard. I don't know what he did that was not serious last night. What is even more annoying is that he actually lied to me."
"Although the emperor ordered the Imperial College to strictly discipline Brother Bao, Brother Bao is the son of your mansion after all. We cannot easily scold him and beat him. We can only inform the government official and let the government punish him."
"I know that the reason why Brother Bao was able to come to the Imperial College was because the Lord Master sought the emperor's favor. In this case, Brother Bao should study hard in the Imperial College after all, and then he can move towards a glorious career. If the Lord is so indulgent,
Brother Bao, on the one hand, the hard work and efforts of the political lord have been wasted, and on the other hand, the emperor's holy family has been let down."
"Having said that, Mr. Wang Zheng must give him a punishment, and please discipline him strictly in the future. You and I will work together to make him read books well and correct those weird problems in the past."
After hearing this, Jia Zheng felt angry, of course, not at Meng Peida, but at Jia Baoyu!
This damn beast, I told him time and time again to cherish the Holy Family and study hard in the Imperial College, but he just refused to listen. Last night, he stayed up late and did not do serious things, and also lied to the Imperial College Secretary. How can this be so?
Just recently, Jia Zheng was angry because of the incident between Jia Baoyu and Qin Zhong. Just a few days later, Jia Baoyu actually made Jia Zheng angry again. It can be said that he was even more angry!
Jia Zheng said to Meng Peida: "Meng Siye has a lot of official work, but he disciplines my son strictly because he is distracted. This is my son's honor and my honor. Don't worry, Meng Siye, I will definitely punish him."
, I will definitely discipline them strictly in the future, try to make it less difficult for the Master Jijiu and Master Siye, and strive not to let down the Emperor."
Meng Peida nodded: "I can trust Mr. Zheng. Since you said so, I think it can be done, so I can rest assured."
After saying this, Meng Peida stood up and said: "Today is really annoying, I don't dare to stay longer, so I will say goodbye."
Jia Zheng sent Meng Peida away with extra courtesy.
Immediately afterwards, Jia Zheng ordered the boys: "Bring the jade quickly!"
The boys were all stunned: "..."
Is there any mistake? This incident happened just a few days ago, and now, just a few days later, this incident is happening again? Oh, Second Master Bao, Second Master Bao, you are really going to cause trouble!
While the boys were thinking about it, they went to the inner house again to get the jade.
This time, it was still a long time before Baoyu came. Mother Jia, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Li Wan, Wang Xifeng still followed, as did Aunt Zhao and Aunt Zhou.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Jia Mu said with a dissatisfied look on her face: "I asked Baoyu just now, and he said that he has not interacted with that Brother Zhong in the past few days.
Why do you want to beat him again? Is it possible that you are addicted to beating him? "
Jia Zheng had a big head, but he still held back his anger and responded: "Old lady, although Baoyu is your grandson, don't spoil him too much. The so-called spoiled son is unfilial, look at how he has been spoiled.
What’s going on!”
Jia Mu was angry: "Yes, you are a spoiled child and unfilial. It is because I spoiled you that you are now unfilial to me, a mother, and you are ready to beat my precious jade at every turn!"
Jia Zheng: "..."
After calming down, Jia Zheng told Jia Mu in detail what Meng Peida said.
After hearing this, Jia's mother subconsciously said: "Although the matter was said by the Secretary of the Imperial College, the words of the Secretary of the Imperial College may not be credible. I know that Baoyu did study hard all night last night."
Jia Zheng: "..."
After calming down again, Jia Zheng glared at Jia Baoyu: "Beast, tell the truth, what did you do last night? If you lie again, I will treat you as my son from now on!"
Jia's mother scolded Jia Zheng again: "What are you talking about? If you think you don't have his son, I will think you don't have my son!"
Jia Baoyu lowered his head and did not respond, his face turned red.
He was not good at lying, and was very afraid of Jia Zheng and Meng Peida, the director of the Imperial College. Now that things had reached this stage, even though he wanted to continue lying in his heart, he could not speak out.
Jia Zheng shouted angrily: "Why didn't you reply?"
Jia Baoyu still lowered his head and remained silent.
Seeing Jia Baoyu like this, Mother Jia felt depressed. She had already seen that Jia Baoyu was probably lying about this, and he probably wasn't studying hard last night.
Out of excessive doting, Jia's mother not only did not immediately blame Jia Baoyu, but continued to defend her, saying to Jia Zheng: "He has always been very afraid of you. Seeing you is like a mouse seeing a cat. Now you are like this."
Wouldn't it scare him to yell at him? Even though he studied hard last night, he didn't dare to speak."
Jia Zheng: "..."
Jia's mother hurriedly said: "How big of a deal is it to cause such anger? Let's just drop this matter for now, Baoyu, come back to the inner house with me."
After saying this, Jia Mu took Jia Baoyu and started to walk away.
Jia Zheng was anxious: "Old lady, you can't be like this! This beast is obviously lying, and he hasn't studied hard in the Imperial College recently! I just said it in front of the Imperial College Secretary, he must be punished.
After a while, I will discipline you strictly in the future!"
"I haven't said anything to him yet. If the old lady takes him away, won't I become a person who has broken her promise? How will I have the face to see Mr. Si Ye of the Imperial College in the future? What dignity will I have as a father in the future?
To discipline this beast?"
"If this continues, won't this beast never study hard in the future? This will also make things difficult for the Master Jijiu and Master Siye of the Imperial College, and it will even let down the Emperor's holy family!"
Jia Mu looked at Mrs. Wang and said, "Your master insists on beating the jade, so why don't you say a word?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Wang hurriedly stepped forward to persuade Jia Zheng and said a lot of nice things, just to calm Jia Zheng's anger and stop him from hitting Baoyu.
When Aunt Zhou, Li Wan, and Wang Xifeng who came with her saw this, they could no longer sit idly by and began to persuade her. Mrs.
OK!
Despite the gentle persuasion of Mrs. Wang, Aunt Zhou, Li Wan, and Wang Xifeng, Jia Zheng still refused to give up and said to Jia Mu: "Old lady, please stop doting on this beast today!"
Jia Mu was angry again: "I let you beat him last time. I won't let you let me go now. If I let you go now, I'm afraid you will often beat Baoyu in the future."
, Baoyu, do you want to live anymore?"
Jia's mother was already irritable. After saying this, she no longer cared about Jia Zheng, who was angry, depressed and embarrassed, and directly led Jia Baoyu to the inner house.
Haha, last time she asked Jia Zheng to beat Jia Baoyu, mainly because she was afraid that Jinyi Mansion would hit Jia Baoyu. Even if Jia Zheng didn't beat him this time, no one from Jinyi Mansion would come to beat him, and Jia Mu wouldn't.
It's up to Jia Zheng.
Jia Zheng: "..."
It has to be said that even if Jia Zheng has always been a good man, this situation now makes him feel very embarrassed. Embarrassed that he failed to fulfill his promise to Meng Peida, and that he, as a father, seems to have been deprived of the right to discipline his legitimate son.
, and also embarrassed that he was laughed at by some people at the scene.
In extreme embarrassment and depression, Jia Zheng, Cheng Rixing and other two Qing guest husbands drank a lot of wine together in the study outside that night and became quite drunk.
After drinking, Jia Zheng came to Aunt Zhao's residence and asked Aunt Zhao to serve him to bed. Unexpectedly, Aunt Zhao suddenly reported: "Master, do you know what Mr. Bao did last night?"
Jia Zhengdao: "I don't know, I just know that he must not have been studying hard last night."
Aunt Zhao immediately said: "I heard that Mr. Bao came back from school yesterday and saw that Miss Lin liked one of the emperor's poems very much. He was dissatisfied and said that he could write a better poem than the emperor's poem, so last night
He stayed up all night and wrote lyrics all night."
Jia Zheng was stunned when he heard this: "..."
After realizing it, Jia Zheng was so angry that he not only wrote poems all night, but also wanted to compete with the emperor. Jia Zheng subconsciously ordered: "Bring the jade quickly!"
Then I thought, no, this is not an outer house or an outer study, but Aunt Zhao's small courtyard. What's more, it's night, how can there be a servant here to obey the order to fetch Jia Baoyu? Even if a servant is found,
Go get it, that beast will definitely ask Mother Jia for help again...
Thinking of this, Jia Zheng, under the influence of alcohol, immediately left Aunt Zhao's courtyard, not forgetting to bring a stick, and walked towards Jiangyunxuan, Jia Baoyu's residence.
At this time, Jia Baoyu was writing lyrics in Jiangyunxuan again. He had not given up yet, and wanted to write better lyrics, and strive to be praised by Lin Daiyu for writing better lyrics than Jia Yun's poem, and also strive to be published in "
"Celebration"...
Jia Zheng rarely comes to Jiangyunxuan on weekdays, especially at night. Tonight, when Jia Zheng suddenly came to Jiangyunxuan angrily and brought a stick, She Yue and other maids were shocked. Because Jia Zheng glared at them, they were silenced.
, they did not dare to shout to inform Jia Baoyu.
So, when Jia Zheng met Jia Baoyu, Jia Baoyu was writing lyrics.
Jia Baoyu made a "hum" sound, and then Jia Baoyu discovered him. He was so frightened that he even forgot to put away the manuscript on his desk. Even if he hadn't forgotten it, he couldn't hide it for a while.
Jia Zheng stepped forward, picked up the manuscript and checked it, and then he became even more angry.
With a "pop" sound, Jia Zheng hit Jia Baoyu with a stick and ordered: "Get down here!"
Jia Baoyu was stunned and thought: "It's over. I'm afraid the old lady won't have time to save me this time!"
In desperation, Jia Baoyu could only lie down on a bench.
Immediately afterwards, the room remembered the sounds of being beaten with sticks one after another, including Jia Baoyu's screams. This time, Jia Zheng's attack was considered serious!
At the same time, Jia Baoyu's maids quickly went to notify Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang. When Jia Mu arrived, Jia Baoyu had been beaten so many times that he was completely limp.
"It's over, my Baoyu has been beaten again!" Jia Mu said anxiously.
