Chapter 25 of the Geng Volume: Accepting Disciples and Giving Words
For a moment, Feng Ziying didn't know what to do. She could only help the other person up and said dryly: "Okay, okay..., Brother Lan, get up..."
Seeing Feng Ziying raise her hand to help herself, Jia Lan stood up gracefully, bowed her arms and stood aside, as if waiting for Feng Ziying's teachings.
Seeing this situation, Feng Ziying knew that it would be unreasonable not to say a few words to the other party. She pondered for a while and then said: "The words just now were just because of the three younger generations of your Jia family. I feel that
And Fa came out casually. If I want to give it to you, it is not appropriate. Well, it is better to give it to you. I will give you a word. I will not be surprised by the favor or humiliation. I will watch the flowers blooming and falling in front of the court. I have no intention of leaving or leaving. I will watch the clouds rolling and relaxing in the sky. "
This sentence is like a drum in the evening and a bell in the morning, hitting Jia Lan's guard exactly.
As the eldest grandson of the second eldest son of the Jia family, due to his father's early death, although Jia Lan has the protection of his mother, his position in the Rongguo Mansion is extremely embarrassing. In terms of the eldest son, the eldest son also has his second uncle Lian. In terms of being favored, he is more capable.
Fang's second uncle Bao, and in terms of reading, he has his third uncle Huan Huan. After all the calculations, Jia Lan found that he had become a somewhat redundant person.
In particular, the ancestor's doting on Uncle Bao was unmatched by anyone in the mansion. The reason why Uncle Huan left the mansion to study hard at Qingtan Academy was probably because Uncle Bao was too favored in the mansion.
It's just that the third uncle Huan is a concubine, so it's fair to say that he was slighted, but he is a direct descendant, and his father is the eldest son, but it is still difficult to get even the slightest benefit of the second uncle Bao from his ancestors and his father and mother. This has always made him
Growing up in such a big family, Jialan found it unbearable.
But reality is stronger than people. No matter what ridiculous things Uncle Bao does, he will still receive unanimous protection from everyone in the house. Looking at the various looks that Uncle Huan has received in the house, Jia Lan also feels the same. Once Huan San
Uncle Zhen had passed the examination, but he was afraid that the cold treatment would slowly be transferred to him, which made Jia Lan even more worried.
Similarly, his mother's earnest teachings and warnings also made him realize that he could not compete with Uncle Bao. The only way out was to follow Uncle Huan's example, study well, and be admitted to the Jinshi.
A situation of being manipulated and looked down upon.
It’s just that Uncle Huan climbed onto Uncle Feng Shi’s thick legs early. From the beginning of his studies to Uncle Feng’s advice to Uncle Huan, this made Jia Lan extremely envious, but he still couldn’t find the right opportunity to get closer to him.
Relationship with Feng Shishu.
He has also told his mother many times about the difficulties he is facing while studying in ethnic studies. The teachers hired by ethnic studies are now unable to pay attention to their studies because of Uncle Bao and others, so the professors just muddle along. Jia Lan also clearly feels this.
The gap between himself and Uncle Huan, who was studying abroad, was getting wider and wider. However, his age and the fact that he had not yet obtained the status of a scholar made him confined to his home, which made Jia Lan very anxious.
Today, he heard that his grandfather mentioned that Uncle Feng Shi might be passing through the mansion. When he saw Uncle Bao and Uncle Huan coming to greet him, he took the initiative to follow the two uncles. Now he finally stood out and won Uncle Feng Shi's favor over him.
I looked at him with admiration, and my impression was probably deeper than when I appeared in front of Feng Shishu in the past few years.
At this time, when Jia Lan heard that Feng Shishu had given him a personal message, his heart warmed up, his nose became sore, and his eyes became hot and red. After chewing on Feng Shishu's words, he bowed again and choked with sobs: "
Thank you very much, Uncle Shi, for your words. My nephew will definitely remember them in his heart and never forget them."
"It doesn't have to be like this. I know that although you are young, you are ambitious. Your mother has told me a few times. I originally intended to find an opportunity to talk to you and listen to you talk about your wishes and ideas...
…”
Feng Ziying pondered for a long time, and saw that the other party's red eyes were full of admiration, coming from the bottom of his heart. If he just sent a few words casually, it seemed a little too cold, so he said: "Today is a good day, you are sincere
Want to read?"
Jia Lan was overjoyed for a moment. Before Jia Baoyu and Jia Huan could react, he threw himself to the ground and kowtowed three times: "Disciple Jia Lan, I have met the master."
"That's all. Originally, I was not qualified to be a student because of my age and experience. But your mother has said it many times, Langeer, and you are interested in learning, so I will accept you as a disciple.
Let's go." Feng Ziying waved her hand and signaled Jia Lan to get up, but Jia Lan refused to get up easily, and just choked and sobbed, "This disciple sincerely admires the master, and now he can fulfill his long-cherished wish, but for a moment he didn't know what to do...
…”
"Okay, get up. I'm not a famous teacher, but I have some connections with your Jia family. Plus, you also have this ambition. It's just a coincidence."
Feng Ziying suddenly got such a student, and she felt a little overwhelmed for a while. But now that the matter was at this point, she couldn't regret it, so she could only act calmly.
Jia Lan then stood up and stood aside respectfully.
Only then did Baoyu and Jia Huan react and came over to express their gratitude and congratulations.
It's just that although Baoyu felt a little complicated, he still expressed his sincere thanks and congratulations, but Jia Huan felt a little unspeakable in his heart, feeling that his position in Brother Feng's mind was suddenly threatened by someone, but
In this situation, he couldn't say anything, but he knew a little more about his nephew's scheming.
"By the way, you should also tell your mother about this situation when you go back." Feng Ziying is not worried about Li Wan's objections. She is just afraid that it is too late to rejoice. "But I have to serve as an official in Yongping Mansion in the near future, so I may not be able to do so in the short term."
When I return to Beijing, even if I am busy with official duties, I may not have much time to teach you. Well, in this case, my original teacher of Jingyi at Qingtan Academy has resigned as a professor at the academy, and I have other plans to return to Beijing.
I also know my brother, Mr. Zhou Chaozong, who is also outstanding in classics and righteousness in the academy. I will edit a book. When the time comes, you will take this letter and spend more time to study with him for more than a year.
He has plans during the day, so I'm afraid he can only arrange them in the evening..."
Jia Huan was so jealous that he almost went crazy.
Zhou Chaozong was the master of classics and meanings at Qingtan Academy. Even though Brother Feng was dedicated to studying the classics and meanings under him and was famous in the academy, he didn't expect that Zhou Jiaoyu would resign and work in the capital. Brother Feng didn't say anything about Zhou Jiaoyu.
Jia Huan didn't dare to ask what he wanted to do.
Hearing Feng Ziying's arrangement, Jia Lan was overjoyed. The master arranged for his teacher to teach him, which really means that he has recognized himself as a disciple. Even if he can't compare with the master in the future, he may not be able to compete with him.
He can't catch up to Uncle Huan's current level.
Thinking of this, Jia Lan could not help but choke and sob. For a moment, he was speechless and could only nod his head with tears in his eyes.
Seeing this, Jia Huan felt as if his jealousy was overturned. He was no more greedy than Baoyu in this regard. In the future, he would also be rushing to pass the examinations for the imperial examinations in Qiu Wei and Chun Wei, and now Lang Ge'er suddenly made a move.
Part of his favor with Brother Feng is that he can't have an attack, but he can't just sit back and acquiesce.
It's just that it would be inappropriate to say anything else at this time. On the contrary, it would make Brother Feng feel that he is narrow-minded. So Jia Huan changed his mind and said: "Brother Feng, you can't favor one thing over another. What did you say to Brother Lang?"
It’s a classic gift, and you can’t help but leave it here, little brother…”
Feng Ziying glanced at Jia Huan and said calmly: "I said, of course I will fulfill my promise. I think that although you have made great progress in your studies since you arrived at the academy, your Qi has been transferred to your body. You should be calmer, but why am I not?"
Do you feel like you are more impetuous?"
Jia Huan was shocked and realized that Brother Feng seemed to have seen something. He quickly lowered his head and said, "Brother Feng, if I have any imprudence, please ask Brother Feng to teach me."
Feng Ziying didn't say anything else, but just thought for a moment before saying: "When you are in adversity, you are surrounded by needles and stones, and you work hard without realizing it; when you are in good times, you are surrounded by weapons and spears, and you are burning bones and bones without realizing it. I feel
It turns out that when you were studying hard in the mansion, you were like the former, but when you came to the academy, you read a lot of books, but your Qi nourishment seemed to be much worse, just like the latter. You should have a good taste of it yourself. "
Jia Huan chewed the words Feng Ziying gave her over and over again, and the more she chewed and tasted, the more frightened she became.
When I went to the academy to study, I met many friends and classmates, and my academic performance became better and better. I inevitably felt a little complacent and high-spirited. I seemed to be a bit high-profile in my daily life. Even my third sister was reminding me.
, but I didn’t seem to care. It wasn’t until Brother Feng reminded me today that I felt that it was indeed a bit too much.
Seeing Jia Huan's face become solemn, Feng Ziying was slightly satisfied. Huan Laosan was like this. If he didn't knock for a little bit, he would raise his tail or make a mistake. Just look at his attitude towards Baoyu and you would know that this guy is going to do something wrong again.
You are starting to be arrogant, and I don’t think about it. You haven’t even passed the examination yet, and you are so arrogant. Are you trying to make Mrs. Wang find an excuse to deal with you?
Just one unfilial label can make you unable to stand up for the rest of your life. No matter what, you have to wait until you have passed the Qiu Wei test before talking about other things? Is it just a small amount of the city government's judgment?
"Baoyu, I am also going to give you a message. Although it is different from the two of them, I think it may be more in line with your temperament. If you have no material desires, you will be like the autumn sky and the sea; if you sit with a qin and a book, you will become a stone room."
Feng Ziying noticed that Baoyu was interested in the gifts she gave to Jia Lan and Jia Huan, and smiled and said: "I hope you can understand the true meaning and pursue what you want. Brother Feng will always support you."
Baoyu's eyes lit up while he was savoring the true meaning of his words, and he suddenly wanted to say something, but in the end he nodded silently.
