Chapter 198: A chapter that is not allowed to be released
Daiyu’s evaluation confirmed Lin Ruhai’s rumors about Baoyu.
He was born with a beautiful jade in his mouth, and only wore a hairpin and hairpin ring. His body shape, speech, and actions were very much like his grandfather's when he was young. Therefore, he was doted on by his grandmother, and he blamed his son every time he insulted his teacher.
Fortunately, the nature of the jade is not bad, and it also has a certain aura of cleverness. However, even though it is handsome and intelligent, it just refuses to base itself on the principles of Confucius and Mencius, and devotes itself to the economy. Every day, it cherishes the fragrance and cherishes the jade, is as tender as water, and only lives as a rich and idle person.
These children, who neither follow the instructions of their teachers nor have the ambition to advance in scientific research, will certainly not be able to uphold the foundation of their ancestors.
Looking for sorrow and hatred for no reason, sometimes it seems stupid and crazy.
Even though he was born with a good skin, his belly turned out to be rough.
I am poor and ignorant of worldly affairs, and I am stupid and afraid of reading articles.
It's a pity that I have wasted my good time, and I have no hope for my country and my family.
Abbreviation: Golden jade and phoenix egg outside, just eat and wait for death.
.
Although Baoyu is a prodigal son with little potential, Lin Ruhai understands that this is not a big problem.
In other words, a "perfect little waste" like Baoyu is the Jia family's blessing.
The Jia family is a founding hero and has a deep foundation.
However, Mencius said: The beauty of a gentleman will be cut off in five generations.
In other words, a gentleman with noble conduct and outstanding ability can achieve a career and family property through hard work throughout his life, and can leave the conduct, family tradition, favor, fortune, wealth and family property to his descendants. After several generations of descendants, they will be able to
It will inevitably be exhausted and cease to exist.
In order to avoid such a decadent fate, the ancestors of the Jia family have decided to start planning since the second generation of the Jia family, and strive to transform from a pure "hero sect" that relies on martial arts.
I hope that more descendants of the family can pass the imperial examination, and rely on the career of civil servants to enable the descendants of the Jia family to embark on a virtuous cycle of long-term development.
Therefore, Jia Daishan, the second generation of Rongguo Mansion, betrothed his youngest daughter Jia Min to Gusu Lin Ruhai. The reason why he did not enter into a political marriage between his beloved daughter and the "four major families" was that he took a fancy to the Lin family's "Although related
The "Zhongding Family" is also the future of the "Scholarly Family".
Jia Zheng, the third generation of the Jia family, was originally a person who indulged in poetry and drinking, but later he was "set on the right path" by Jia Daishan. So he studied hard, was full of ambition, high-spirited, and was determined to glorify his ancestors.
A person with "a background in science and technology" comes to shine.
Even the eldest son of Jia Zheng, Jia Zhu, is married to Li Wan, the daughter of the Imperial Academy. I hope that the help of such a noble daughter will be of great benefit to Jia Zhu's future imperial examination.
These moves were all correct, but unfortunately, they were completely wrong for the emperor.
The royal family does not need a faction of heroes who hold high positions of power for generations.
Therefore, after Jia Daishan's death, the Supreme Emperor showed his favor and granted Jia Zheng the official position of director of the Ministry of Industry for free. In fact, he used a sixth-grade official to completely ruin Jia Zheng's career in the imperial examination.
Road.
The other two moves, one was canceled due to Jia Zhu's early death, and the other was due to Jia Min's death. When Lin Ruhai passed the exam, the new emperor had just ascended the throne and was eager to recruit talents and form his own team, so Lin Ruhai
It was taken into the hands of the current emperor.
As a result, Jia Daishan's hard work back then was all in vain, and the glory of Rongguo Mansion could only rely on "the grace of ancestors" and "the grace of the emperor", and each generation was inferior to the previous generation.
On Ning Guogong's side, Jia Jing, the only one who passed the imperial examination in Yi Mao, had to stay at home for three years because his father Jia Daihua passed away when he passed the examination. p>
After waiting for three years, the situation suddenly changed.
Jia Jing, the third-generation patriarch of the Jia family, the heir to the title of Ning Guofu, and a Jinshi from the imperial examination, suddenly changed his temperament for some reason.
He abandoned his family and career and went to Duwai to practice Xuan Zhen Guan alone. He was obsessed with seeking the Tao, burning elixirs and refining mercury all day without caring about worldly affairs. From the beginning to the end, he, the only descendant of the Jia family who passed the imperial examination, was actually an official.
Never done it either.
The future of Ningguo Mansion has also been wasted, and it is even worse than Rongguo Mansion.
The Jia family didn't understand that it was because the authorities were so deluded that they "didn't know the true face of Mount Lu, just because they were in this mountain."
As Lin Ruhai watched from the sidelines, it seemed that there were some secret thoughts of the emperor.
Because they were afraid of this group of meritorious officials, the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor were especially afraid of the Jia family, the leader of the four princes and eight princes. The tree was a big tree with deep roots and many knots, so they could only appear to reward them, but in fact they suppressed them.
Both the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor sincerely hope that the descendants of these meritorious officials can only enjoy the glory brought by the title, and will no longer have the ambition to ascend through the imperial examination and gain more power in the court.
This truth can be seen through, but never explained.
Although Lin Ruhai had always admired Jia Zheng for being "humbly and kind, with the legacy of his grandfather, and not a frivolous official like me", during the frequent correspondence between the two, Lin Ruhai could only vaguely advise Jia Zheng: Don't blindly force your nephew.
They study hard.
Jia Zheng sometimes had some insight, so he lamented in his letter, "Each of our ancestors is like this. Although there are some who are very dedicated in their careers, none of them has ever become successful. It seems that this is also the case with Jia's family." p>
But most of the time, Jia Zheng still lamented that his descendants were unworthy and academically incompetent.
.
"Perhaps this is also the strength of his Jia family. It may not be possible to revive the family business by relying on the imperial examination. The sun and moon in the pot are not wrong. Baoyu's behavior may not be more stable."
Lin Ruhai sighed and said something like this.
He must not say anything about the royal family, even behind his back, otherwise he will harm his children.
Daiyu didn't quite understand what she heard. After thinking for a while, she still didn't understand, so she frowned and asked:
"Doesn't his stable life depend on someone being outside to protect him from the wind and rain?
Nowadays, in my grandmother’s house, most of the external affairs depend on Brother Lian, while the grandmother is responsible for the internal affairs. Second sister-in-law Lian is responsible for ordinary matters. Brother Bao can’t do anything.”
Lin Ruhai thought about it and thought that she still had to ask her daughter what she was thinking - unfortunately Jia Min was no longer alive, otherwise the mother should ask these questions.
"Then - do you want to live such a stable life?"
"Me?"
Daiyu was startled, and suddenly seemed to understand a little bit, and immediately lowered her head in shame.
Seeing her like this, Lin Ruhai thought she also had a heart for Baoyu, so she smiled and said:
"When the peach blossoms are young, their flowers are shining brightly. When the son returns, he will be suitable for his family.
Husbands are born with the desire to have a wife for them, and women are born with the desire to have a family for them. This is the case for everyone.
Although you should have the orders of your parents and the advice of your matchmaker, as a father you also want to see that the person you choose is in line with your wishes.
Since your grandma is determined to set things up, as a father, I would also like to see the precious jade..."
"Dad." Daiyu suddenly raised her head, with tears in her eyes, "Second Brother Bao... is inappropriate."
Lin Ruhai saw her beloved daughter acting like this and quickly advised:
"Don't cry, don't cry, let's just not talk about this."
