Chapter 801: Phoenix Egg Goes to School (please vote for me)
For most residents of the capital, the Lantern Festival is full of beautiful memories, and they wish they could come there every day.
But for some families, it is a heartbreaking disaster.
Even Rongfu, who was close to the point, had a more intense reaction.
The old lady directly said that Sanchun and Phoenix Egg would not be allowed to go out alone in the future. They must be protected by elders and adult clan members before they can be allowed to go out.
Jia Min naturally meant the same thing. She couldn't imagine how chaotic it was outside.
But soon, all the attention of the Rong Mansion was attracted by the matter of Phoenix Egg going to school. This was the focus of attention within the Rong Mansion.
"If you don't go, I won't go. Isn't it good to stay in the house? Why should you go to clan school?"
When Jia Baoyu heard that he was going to go to a clan school by himself, he immediately acted like a fool.
He is seven years old this year and went to ethnic studies last year when he was six years old.
Being restricted by the strict rules of the clan school made Phoenix Dan, who was used to being free and loose, very uncomfortable. Within a few days, he pretended to be ill and got away with it.
Naturally, his little plan could not be hidden from the eyes of the adults, but the old lady felt that Phoenix Egg was still young and did not need to be burdened with going to school too early, so she gave up.
But Phoenix Egg is seven years old this year, and it will be too late if he doesn't go to school.
If the clan school was still the same as before, the old lady and Mrs. Wang would be happy to help Phoenix Egg cover it, but now the Jia clan academy is one of the top 'prestigious schools' among the noble families, so they cannot take it lightly.
There was no need for the clan leader Jia Rong to urge him. After the Lantern Festival, Mr. Zheng kept urging him, and eventually he even started to lose his temper.
Even the old lady is unwilling to face the always serious Mr. Zheng when he loses his temper. After all, the son is still closer than the grandson, right?
In the story of Red Mansions, the phoenix egg is treated like an eyeball by the old lady, who has to go to ethnic studies, let alone now.
With Jia Zhu in the second room and Jia Lan in the fourth generation, Phoenix Egg's status naturally dropped drastically.
Mrs. Wang felt sorry for her youngest son, and she didn't have much idea about studying and progressing. When she saw Phoenix Dan acting recklessly, she felt soft and discussed with Mr. Zheng that it would be better to just ask him to teach Phoenix Dan alone in the house.
Mr. Zheng Er only said "You are responsible for the results of the second son" and Mrs. Wang was completely defeated.
Just kidding, she doesn't want to take on such a responsibility.
What if Jia Baoyu came to his senses and complained that she was too pampered, the scene would be unimaginable.
Master Zheng's attitude was firm. He still remembered what Jia Rong said.
'If Uncle Bao doesn't go to clan studies and doesn't build good relationships with his peers, then don't blame Uncle Bao for being ostracized by his peers in the future!'
This is a very serious problem. Just thinking about it makes Mr. Zheng's scalp numb.
In a clan society, it is definitely not a good feeling to be ostracized by your clan members.
Even if Jia Baoyu is the legitimate son of the second wife of the Rong Mansion, once he is rejected by his peers, his life in the future will definitely not be easy.
Of course, Mr. Zheng would not express such worries.
What he can do is to use a stern attitude to urge Phoenix Egg to go to the clan school and study, and he must perform well.
At this time, Jia Clan Studies was a 'prestigious school' among the elite circles.
As batches of students become talented, there are a lot of noble families who want to send their children to study.
In addition, the management system introduced by Jia Rong is very strict, and the competition among students at all levels is very fierce. It is not easy to achieve good results.
Apart from anything else, wanting to get good grades without studying hard is simply a dream!
Mr. Zheng Er made his attitude clear. The old lady and Mrs. Wang couldn't stand each other, so they could only persuade Phoenix Dan to go to school peacefully.
Mrs. Wang privately promised that as long as Phoenix Egg goes to school honestly, he can get some of the naughty things he likes, and other conditions can also be met.
As a result, Phoenix Egg said: I want to go to a girls' school, which made Mrs. Wang so angry that she almost beat her.
If the Phoenix Egg made such a request when he was six years old, it would be a sign of ignorance on the part of the child.
But Phoenix Egg is seven years old, and he still thinks that there is something wrong with his brain, and it will be a joke if it gets spread.
Women's school is naturally a school for girls. Phoenix Egg wanted to go to a women's school, but even Mrs. Wang was a little suspicious of her younger son's thoughts.
Naturally, she would not blame Phoenix Egg, but could only secretly scold Lin Daiyu for being a little vixen who had confused her little son to the point of confusion.
As soon as Phoenix Egg came out, Mrs. Wang also became cruel and demanded that Phoenix Egg must go to a clan school to study.
As for the old lady, she didn't say anything.
When Phoenix Egg saw the two backstage actors acting like this, they were acting like cowards and coquettishly, but in the end it didn't work.
Finally, under the intimidation of Mr. Zheng, I had to go to school in tears.
Ahem, Phoenix Egg is going to school, and the momentum is not as big as usual.
In addition to the long attendant Li Gui, there are four young servants with him. If traveling, there are also carriages and coachmen. The lavishness is much greater than that of the second master Zheng's Yamen.
However, when Jia Baoyu entered the clan school with his eldest servant, the servant was immediately taken away by the school staff, leaving only one eldest servant, Li Gui.
The first thing you do when entering school is to change into the school uniform!
"I won't wear it if I don't want to. This dress is too ugly, and the fabric is scratchy!"
Phoenix Egg, who always only wears custom-made splendid clothes, casually threw aside the uniform issued by the clan school, shouting that he was not polite.
"My little ancestor, please stop making trouble. This is not a mansion. You can't enter the school without wearing uniforms!"
Li Gui, the chief disciple, looked depressed and hurriedly persuaded him: "Although uniforms are a bit plain, all students in the ethnic studies must wear them. The second master can't be too special!"
"How about this? Second Master, please bear with it for a while, and after returning home from school, let the embroiderer in the mansion re-make it according to the uniforms of the school until Second Master is satisfied?"
"That's pretty much it!"
Phoenix Dan's temperament is a bit soft-spoken, but since Changsui Li Gui made it so clear, he can't really mess around.
After putting on the uniform of the school, Phoenix Egg took Li Gui to the teaching building.
Li Gui, the long-term follower, will only follow Phoenix Dan for half a month. During this half month, he will take classes together and help Phoenix Dan get used to dealing with personal problems by himself.
Once the half-month adaptation period has passed, Li Gui, the long-term follower, will not be allowed to enter the formal school building. He will naturally have other places to go.
Such regulations naturally aroused Phoenix Egg's dissatisfaction. Unfortunately, his arms could not twist his thighs. Even if he was dissatisfied, there was nothing he could do. The rules of the school were not something he could ignore at this time...
