After Jia Ke discussed with Jia Mu about the marriage ceremony at Qingxu Temple, he turned his attention to Jia Baoyu.
Jia Baoyu is now very happy. Qi Guan is with him at home. The two are in love with each other, and they are very good. In addition, Qi Guan deliberately pleases Jia Baoyu, so Jia Baoyu is now deeply infatuated with her.
This is an actor disguised as a woman.
This incident has caused an uproar all over the capital. Everyone knows that the handsome young master in the Rongguo Mansion is obsessed with an actor. Even Jia Ke has heard people talking about it.
Although Jia Ke hates Jia Baoyu, as an elder brother, he still has to shoulder some responsibilities. Now that Jia Baoyu is so ridiculous, if he doesn't say a few words, others will say something.
Jia Ke looked at Jia Baoyu and said, "I have invited a gentleman for Qin Zhong at home. That gentleman is a learned man. He was recommended to me by the head of the Hanlin Academy. Why don't you go to Wuyang Marquis with Qin Zhong during this period?"
I'm studying in the government, do you like it?"
As soon as Jia Baoyu listened to Jia Ke's question, he felt the reluctance of the boss in his heart. He was now in the clan middle school, just doing an errand. He was so free and relaxed every day, how could he be willing to follow Jia Ke's instructions and go to Wuyang
The Hou Mansion studied seriously.
Besides, although he is very close to Qi Guan'er now, he has not forgotten Qin Zhong.
Now Jia Baoyu has to go to Wuyang Hou Mansion to see Qin Zhong every now and then. Although every time he meets Qin Zhong, there are always a few annoying and scary boys standing next to him, making it impossible for him to get close to Qin Zhong.
Qin Zhong now understands the situation.
Every time I went to see Qin Zhong, his hands were all red. He had to keep writing there to cope with the husband's spot check the next day. Jia Baoyu felt distressed when he looked at the hard work.
Qin Zhong often complained to Jia Baoyu because of this gentleman. Jia Baoyu had long been afraid of this gentleman whom he had never met before. How could he be willing to give up his happy life to suffer such a sin?
But Jia Mu who was next to her became happy. You must know that this is a gentleman recommended by the Imperial Academy, which is not bad. If Jia Baoyu goes to study with this gentleman, he will definitely make some progress in the future, and I will not continue.
Keep staring at him.
Besides, with Jia Ke's current status, there is no need to worry too much about Jia Baoyu's identity. There is no need to be taboo about the royal family and raise Jia Baoyu to waste as before.
"Then let Baoyu go. Anyway, Jia Dairu from the clan middle school has no intention of running the school. It is better to let Baoyu learn more from Qin Zhong." Jia Mu agreed on Jia Baoyu's behalf.
Jia Baoyu saw something was wrong. If Jia Ke forced him to study every day, wouldn't it cost him his life?
"Old lady, I haven't recovered from my injury during this period. Going now will not only delay Qin Zhong's studies, but my own body and bones will also be a little unbearable." Jia Baoyu thought for a long time and finally came up with a reason for himself.
Jia's mother just thought that Jia Baoyu could study with a famous teacher, but she didn't expect that Jia Baoyu's words reminded her that Baoyu had just been injured and had only been raised for a short time. If he went now, he might not be able to bear it.
.
So Jia Mu changed her tone and said: "Oh, I really forgot about this. Baoyu's body has just been beaten by his father. He can't stand the hard work of studying every day. I think it will take some time."
Let’s go over there again.”
Although Jia's mother said this, her eyes were full of deep disappointment. In the past, there was no way to raise Jia Baoyu in ruins. Now that the Jia family has grown up, they wanted to give Jia Baoyu a chance, but she didn't expect that he himself would not live up to the expectations.
Jia Baoyu next to him breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and said to Jia Ke: "Brother, it's not that I don't want to go to school, it's just because my body is really unsatisfactory. After a period of recovery, I will get better, and then we can work together again."
What do you think of Qin Zhong studying together?"
Jia Ke had a clear idea of Jia Baoyu's thoughts. He looked Jia Baoyu up and down, and then said slowly: "Although it is requested by adults, it is also related to your future. You must have some thoughts in your heart."
A few. When your second brother was your age, he studied hard every day. Even I admire him. Don’t let him compare you."
As Jia Baoyu's brother and the pillar of the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Ke still has to remind Jia Baoyu of certain things. Otherwise, everyone may blame him in the future.
After Jia Baoyu listened to Jia Ke's lesson, he quickly said: "Brother, don't worry, I will recover from my injury in a while and I will definitely go to school."
Jia Ke replied to him expressionlessly, "Look, no matter how anxious others are about some things, it won't work. It still depends on whether you have the heart."
After listening to Jia Ke's words, Jia Baoyu stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to do.
When Wang Xifeng saw Jia Ke reprimanding Jia Baoyu, the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so she quickly came out to smooth things over and said, "How are we going to go on the first day of the new year? How many cars will we take, and how many maids and ladies will each person need?"
Jia's mother now also saw Jia Baoyu's embarrassment. Although she hated him for not living up to expectations, Jia Baoyu had been with her for so many years. It would be false to say that she had no feelings, so she quickly followed Wang Xifeng's words and said: "Prepare more trains."
, you and your sister-in-law will each take one car. Daiyu and Baochai will take one car, and then Yingchun and her sisters will make one. Also prepare some ordinary vehicles for the little maids to sit in, otherwise they will be on the road.
It’s not good to let the neighbors see you while walking.”
Wang Xifeng smiled and replied, "The old lady is very thoughtful. If we do this, something will definitely go wrong in the end. With the old lady's instructions, we are all sure of it."
While they were talking, Jia Baoyu quietly retreated to Lin Daiyu's side and let out a long breath.
Lin Daiyu looked at her from the side, covered her mouth and said with a smile: "But someone has cured you. Otherwise, you will never go to heaven."
When Jia Baoyu saw Lin Daiyu making fun of him, he quickly defended himself: "What those gentlemen taught was not very good. They just asked you to read those few sentences over and over again. I thought I would learn the same thing at home."
Xue Baochai, who was sitting next to them, glanced sideways at Jia Baoyu, then took out a handkerchief as if to wipe her mouth, but in fact it blocked her disdainful smile.
Now Xue Baochai completely looks down on Jia Baoyu. This Baoyu is simply the most incompetent in the world. He has such good conditions and doesn't know how to cherish them. He only hangs out among his sisters every day. How can he be successful in the future? But he
If you have a little bit of self-motivation, your future fame will definitely be huge.
Then there was the Rongguo Mansion in the future. It seemed to her that it would definitely belong to Jia Zhu in the future. Jia Baoyu had no future, and she and Lin Daiyu would probably be like those side branches, buying a small courtyard near Rongguo Mansion and living there.
I've been living my whole life cowardly.
After all, Jia Baoyu was not like Jia Ke, who had already been granted a title at a young age and had acquired such a large property. Naturally, he did not care about the money from the Rongguo Mansion.
Jia Baoyu was indeed incapable of running these economic careers, and in the end he could only live on some of the family property he was allocated. If the old lady loved him, he might be able to share some of the old lady's private house, but even if the old lady agreed, according to the clan rules, Jia Baoyu could
Beads also have to get the first share.
Jia Tanchun, who was sitting opposite Jia Baoyu, saw Xue Baochai snickering there, so he asked in front of everyone: "Sister Bao, what are you laughing at? Is there anything funny in this room?"
Xue Baochai suddenly changed his face, but immediately returned to the virtuous and dignified Xue Baochai, "I just saw Brother Bao and Sister Lin making love to each other, so I smiled. Sister Tanchun looked carefully.
"
Although Jia Tanchun was born to Aunt Zhao, she has always been raised by Jia's mother. To be honest, she didn't have much affection for Aunt Zhao.
On the contrary, Jia Tanchun has watched these servants scheming for some benefits since she was a child. She has also become much richer than her peers. Therefore, she is extremely flattering to Mrs. Wang, just to make herself in the honor.
Life is better in the government.
Just now she saw Xue Baochai smiling disdainfully at Jia Baoyu, so in order to please Mrs. Wang, she stabbed Xue Baochai out on the spot.
Fortunately, Xue Baochai was smart and well-calculated, and he was thorough in everything he did. He saved the matter in just one moment.
After everyone heard that Xue Baochai was laughing at Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu, they all followed his eyes and saw that they were indeed together. They murmured and didn't know what they were talking about, so they laughed together.
Xue Baochai turned everyone's attention to Jia Baoyu and breathed a sigh of relief. Then he glanced at Jia Tanchun gently.
Seeing Jia Tanchun now beside the old lady, saying flattering words that made the old lady bend over and over. It seemed that he was talking about how well-matched Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu were.
Apparently Lin Daiyu also heard this, and hurriedly pushed Jia Baoyu away and sat on the other side of Xue Baochai, her face flushed with shame, and her original sharp mouth could not open.
Jia Ke sat in the corner and looked at this scene. He looked like the people in the court. It was just that the two sides had different structures and fought for different things.
When Wang Xifeng saw Jia Ke sitting alone in the corner, she went over and said, "Brother, what are you doing sitting here alone? Wouldn't it be nice to laugh with everyone?"
"I'm used to being alone, you don't have to worry about me, just laugh by yourself."
"Look what you said, now you are the pillar of our Rongguo Mansion, how can we ignore you." Wang Xifeng said delicately.
Qin Keqing saw Wang Xifeng and approached Jia Ke again. He hurried over and separated the two of them. Then he took Wang Xifeng's hand and said, "Second daughter-in-law Lian, how many tanks of gas do you think we need to buy this time when we go to Qingxu Temple for a ritual ceremony?"
money?"
After Wang Xifeng responded, she turned to look at Jia Mu. They had just discussed going to watch the fun, but had forgotten about it. But for things like this, Jia Mu still had to make the final decision.
"What's the matter? Since my eldest brother is also going this year, it will naturally be a bit heavier than in previous years. I think it will be enough to prepare three hundred taels of incense money and another one hundred kilograms of sesame oil." Mother Jia was very concerned about these things.
It's calculated. After all, the rules have been there for so many years. You can't change them just because the Jia family suddenly became rich. So it's just fifty taels more than in previous years and it's not an excessive increase.
After all, this kind of thing is easy to add, but difficult to reduce. Jia Mu also has to think about future generations.
Otherwise, their generation has nothing to do with it, but if the next generation has no future and continues to be so extravagant, then it will be the same as the scene in Rongguo Mansion in the early years. I am afraid that it will be nothing but nothing, and in the end it will be like those in Beijing.
