Chapter 859 The Embarrassing Situation Phoenix Egg
Chapter 859 Phoenix Egg in an Awkward Situation
It’s another early morning!
Some of the servants in Rong Mansion got up early and started a new busy day.
It's not as busy as Ningfu next door, but has the unique laziness and leisureliness of Rongfu.
When Jia Baoyu came over in a hurry, accompanied by his young servant, all the servants he met on the road were very enthusiastic and behaved very positively.
Watching Jia Baoyu and his entourage go out of the gate, they couldn't help but gather together and talk about it.
"Second Master Bao, this is too much effort. The sky has just brightened!"
"What do you know, lateness is not allowed in the clan school!"
"What's the big deal? Don't look at Mr. Bao's identity?"
"Haha, I heard that clan studies don't care about this. Second Master Bao will be punished if he is late. Still in full view of the public, how embarrassing that would be!"
"The rules of clan studies are too strict. Second Master Bao is a direct descendant of the Jia family!"
"Haha, if the rules of clan studies were not so strict, how could there be scholars and children appearing every year?"
"With the power in the government, is it still necessary to take the imperial examination?"
"The power in the mansion is indeed amazing, but how much does it have to do with Second Master Bao?"
"As you said, Mr. Bao is highly valued by the old lady and the second wife!"
"So what? The eldest son of the second wife in the house is Uncle Zhu, and the eldest grandson is Mr. Lan. It's not Mr. Bao's turn to be the master of the family!"
"Shh, keep your voice down. If the boy next to Mr. Bao hears it, it will not be as good for you."
"Oh, I'm really not afraid of this. You may not know that Second Master Bao is having a very difficult time at the Clan Academy!"
"Who doesn't know this? Second Master Bao doesn't care about his studies at the clan school, and his grades are not much better, if not worse!"
"I heard that the second wife went to the clan school to attend a parent-teacher meeting, and she said nothing in the future. She didn't want to go there. Didn't it mean that Second Master Bao failed in his studies and embarrassed the second wife?"
"I've heard about this too. Every time Mr. Bao attends Mr. Bao's parent-teacher meeting, he will be in a bad mood for a few days, and Mr. Bao often asks for beatings!"
"Isn't this the end of it? With Second Master Bao's performance, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get ahead in the imperial examinations in the future!"
"Yes, if you don't work hard to make progress, even if you have the old lady and the second wife to protect you, how long can they protect you?"
"Don't you know? Second Master Bao has repeated a grade. He is currently studying in the same grade with Third Master Huan, who has just started school, and Third Master Cong from the big room. Oh, I heard that he and Master Lan are classmates in the same class!
"
"What, uncle and nephew who are three years apart are in the same class, it's really embarrassing to say that!"
"Now that we have reached this point, if Mr. Bao doesn't work hard, he will really fall out of favor. The old lady and the second wife's favor are also limited!"
"..."
The Zhou Rui family quietly walked past these gossiping children, without disturbing these gossip-loving guys.
I feel a little depressed in my heart, I feel like my face doesn't have much brilliance, and I can't even stiffen my waist.
Right now, Second Master Bao's studies are the biggest headache for the entire second family.
The second wife was really worried about Master Bao's studies, but there was nothing she could do.
All I can say is that if Mr. Bao continues to let things go badly, I'm afraid there won't be any good fruits to eat.
Although he looks smart and smart, why is Mr. Bao so repelled by reading and can't even get into it?
Fortunately, the clan school has strict management, and those people who gossip about having children don't know that Second Master Bao's recent monthly exam results are a bit far behind Master Lan, otherwise he would probably talk even more energetically and go too far.
But because of this, Mr. Bao was under considerable psychological pressure.
According to his talents in poetry and miscellaneous studies, he should have no problem dealing with elementary school. Unfortunately, the result was just the opposite.
If Mr. Bao is not interested, even a fool will not believe it.
Because of Mr. Bao's studies, the second wife suffered a lot from Mr. Bao, and everyone in Zhou Rui's family had a crush on Jia Baoyu.
If he hadn't felt the extremely disappointed attitude of the second master and the urging of the second wife, how could the second master Bao be so active in going to school?
The most disgusting thing is Jia Huan, the son of Aunt Zhao.
I don’t know why, but I have been working very hard since I started studying in the clan school, and my performance has been very good. In terms of test scores, I also left Master Bao far behind.
The key point is that every time the results come out, Aunt Zhao, who is not on the stage, will show off in front of the second wife for some reason.
The Zhou Rui family knew this. Even though the second wife looked expressionless every time, secretly she was very angry.
Because Jia Huan was boarding at the family school, it was not convenient for the second wife to find trouble, so she could only ask Aunt Zhao to give her some small shoes to wear.
When Jia Huan came back from vacation, he would find an opportunity to ask him to copy Buddhist scriptures. He would not be allowed to return to study until he finished copying.
But the teacher at the ethnography school was not a vegetarian, and he didn't know the situation of the second roommate. Every time Jia Huan didn't go to school on time, he would directly send a strongly worded letter asking Jia Huan to go to school immediately.
In order to avoid the further embarrassment of the situation, the second wife had no choice but to let him go reluctantly. The gentleman at the family school was not easy to mess with.
Not only Jia Huan, but also Brother Cong of Dafang, whose academic performance is also higher than that of Second Master Bao.
Coupled with Lan Ge'er, no one in Zhou Rui's family knew what to say about Second Master Bao.
Sometimes she really wanted to catch Mr. Bao and tell him that if things continued like this, the situation would get worse.
As long as he spends more time on his studies, given Master Bao’s intelligence, it’s easy to get good grades. Why doesn’t he understand?
Just as those gossipers said, there is a limit to the favor of the second wife and the old lady.
At present, most of the resources of the Jia clan in the capital, and actually Ning Rong's second mansion, are devoted to clan studies.
The most important way for the children of the Jia family to stand out in the future is through civil or military examinations. There must be one who excels, right?
As for the human resources in the hands of the old lady and the second wife, they need to be used once and less once, and they cannot be easily disposed of.
The Zhou Rui family understands clearly that the old lady can be willful, but the second wife cannot.
The eldest son of the second wife is Uncle Zhu. The second wife’s heart must not be too biased. What will Uncle Zhu think then?
If the second wife hadn't always insisted that Mr. Bao was born with jade and was born extraordinary, she would have lost interest in continuing to dote on her.
The second wife is quite strong and has a face-loving personality, but as a result, the second master Bao is often embarrassed, and even the Zhou Rui family can't stand it.
Mr. Bao, can you please serve some snacks?
Slowly arriving at the courtyard where the second bedroom lived, Zhou Rui's family felt very uneasy.
"Baoyu, have you gone to school?"
The first time she saw Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Wang looked tired and concerned and asked...
