Volume B, Section 119, Four Entering Jia's Mansion (Part 1)
No one responded to Wang Xue's words, and the situation became even more embarrassing. Mother Jia pondered for a moment: "The eldest son of the Feng family has not come to our house for a year of study, right? He is also a good general manager.
It's better to ask Lian'er to invite him over, and ask Baoyu to follow, and we can just set up an extra table here."
Hearing what the old lady said, Youshi and Qinshi hurriedly said: "That's fine, I'll tell you and Brother Rong to accompany you."
Jia Mu nodded, and the matter was settled.
Hearing that Feng Ziying was coming, Jia Baoyu, who was still climbing branches and plum blossoms under the flower tree, was stunned for a moment, then his expression became complicated, but in the end he still showed some relief and happiness.
Although his feelings towards Feng Ziying have become more and more complex, Feng Ziying's words to him last time were still very enlightening, and he also knows that the weight of Feng Ziying's words is far greater than his own in the minds of several elders in the house. It can be said that as long as
When it comes to reading, Feng Ziying is the unwavering "authority".
In order to have a "happy life" of studying in the future, he has to please Feng Ziying, and even if he is very reluctant to accept it, he still has to admit that Feng Ziying crushes him in all aspects. Well, maybe in this handsome face, he
It can be slightly better.
When receiving the call from Jia Mu, both Feng Ziying and Jia Lian were a little surprised, but Wang Xifeng explained that this had been decided by Dongfu a long time ago, but they just happened to catch up.
Seeing Yuanyang's hesitant expression, Feng Ziying's heart moved slightly.
He has always had a good impression of this smart and sensible pretty maid. The two maids of the Jia family, Ping'er, are Jia Lian's favorites. Even if he has a good impression, he won't think too much about it, but this one doesn't have so many scruples.
looked up and down.
Facing Feng Ziying's somewhat wanton look up and down, Yuanyang also felt a little flustered.
As Jia Mu's maid, she has seen a lot of various scenes, but it is rare to see someone with such piercing and unceremonious eyes as Uncle Feng, and there is always some unspeakable teasing in his eyes.
Tasty, but not offensive.
"Miss Yuanyang, if you don't tell me what's going on, why would the old lady summon me for no reason? I still have something to discuss with Brother Lian." Feng Ziying asked with a smile.
Yuanyang hesitated for a moment and then said: "Perhaps the ladies accidentally talked about studying, and Second Master Bao is also here, so I would like to ask Uncle Feng to go over and teach Second Master Bao more."
"Baoyu is here too?" Feng Ziying frowned: "Aren't there a few ladies admiring the plum blossoms and flowers? Why is Baoyu also mixed in? He doesn't study?"
The word "mixed" made both Yuanyang and Wang Xifeng feel that Feng Ziying was dissatisfied with Jia Baoyu's behavior. It seemed that Uncle Feng really thought that Jia Baoyu should change his ways after he taught him a lesson. This
It's a bit wishful thinking.
"The plum blossoms are just right after the snow today, so my ancestors told the second master to let Baoyu enjoy the plum blossoms together and compose poems at the same time."
Is this also the reason? Do you have to rely on plum appreciation and poetry in this autumn and spring? Your Baoyu must be as capable as Xu Xie. He can appreciate plum blossoms and compose poems every day, drink wine and paint, but you are still far behind in reading. You old man
Dad is driving you crazy. How long has it been since you've been in your old ways again?
It's just that it's not his turn to say anything more about such matters. Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang are both there, so they obviously approve of it.
Feng Ziying could only agree, but Jia Lian didn't want to go there, probably because he felt embarrassed to see Jia Zhen and Jia Rong.
After all, Wei Ruolan and Han Qi were originally good friends with them, but now such a big business has been blocked by Jia Lian. Although Feng Ziying was the one who pulled the strings, everyone knows that he should be the biggest beneficiary." Lian Er.
Brother, we are all relatives after all, so why don’t we meet and drink together from now on? This business is not just for this one time, maybe it will happen again in the next year?" Feng Ziying could only forgive, because he and Jia Zhenjiarong didn't have much in common.
When it comes to language, you can't just eat a meal and teach Jia Baoyu all the time, right?
"Really, can you still make such a living after a new year?" Jia Lian asked anxiously.
Not expecting Jia Lian to take it seriously, Feng Ziying bit the bullet and said, "Look, I guess there will be some other ways to make a living, but we can't leave Brother Lian idle, right?"
"That's right, brother Keng, your second brother Lian is most afraid of being idle. If you can do something, it doesn't matter if you make more or less. If you practice your skills, you can continue to do it if you have a big business in the future, right?"
Jia Lian nodded repeatedly, as if Ziying knew my heart well.
Wang Xifeng had already taken Ping'er to follow Yuanyang, and Jia Lian and Feng Ziying walked behind.
"It seems that Da Lang is quite confident about the coming autumn?" Jia Lian was actually still very concerned about whether Feng Ziying could read the book.
In his opinion, Feng Ziying was very friendly to him, and it was not at all because of his relationship with his wife, so after so long, he became closer to Feng Ziying.
Jia Lian himself is not a scholar, so he is still looking forward to Feng Ziying being able to study well, and even being able to pass the imperial examination. In this way, it would be an honor for him to have such a friend. If Feng Ziying can have greater success in the future
With good luck, I can cling to this big tree and make a living.
Jia Lian is now increasingly disappointed with the situation of the Jia family, especially after hearing that his daughter-in-law has to pawn or even mortgage some old things every year to make ends meet, otherwise she can only go to the old lady's place to have sex.
He barely supported Jia's family and walked away, feeling even colder in his heart.
In addition, he has no hope at all whether the Jia family can be handed over to him, and even if it is to be handed over to him, how much of the property will be left, so he has such an idea.
According to his idea, if Brother Keng really achieves great success after studying in the future, he will simply leave the Jia family and even his wife behind and make a living on his own.
There are also many people in this house who are being criticized. The ancestors above are partial, the master and the wife are also strict, and Sister Feng below is also guarding her in every possible way, making herself look like a thief whenever she wants to do anything in the house. It is better to be like this.
Find another way.
Now he has seen through the Jia family. It's okay to make a living by holding on to this outer layer and doing some crooked ways of lending money and soliciting lawsuits, but if you want to really do something serious, you have no money and no means.
, in this case, why not plan to find some ways as soon as possible?
It's just that his own contact area is not wide, especially the friends who can really come in handy are very rare. Now after all calculations, this brother Keng is considered a loser with a promising future. Now he is betting on a cold stove.
On the body, you may not be able to feel proud in the future.
"After all, we have to pass this level. If you are not sure, then you have to give it a try." Feng Ziying naturally would not let down her own ambition and majesty, "Even in Chun Wei, I dare not say it, but in Qiu Wei, I am still somewhat sure.
."
Seeing Feng Ziying's positive attitude, Jia Lian was both happy and worried.
If this brother Keng really passes the examination, his sister will have no hope at all. Until now, her father has not given up. It is said that he has also found someone to bring a message to the Feng family, but there is no news from there.
, it seems to be that he is still young and is a little slow, I don’t know if it is an excuse.
Of course, for me, Brother Keng's success in the middle examination will definitely be good for me, which is really exciting and worrying.
Everyone went to Huifang Garden with their thoughts in mind.
This Huifang Garden is a first-class place in Ningguo Mansion. Passing from Dengxian Pavilion and past the courtyard of Doufengxuan is Tianxiang Tower. This is where Ningguo Mansion banquets are held. If you go back through the arrow path on the right, you can cross the garden.
From the back door to Ningxixuan, you can also go out directly from Doufengxuan, which is a sparse forest.
There are several pavilions built against the mountains in the southeast, and there are three pavilions facing the water in the northwest. The trees are sparse and the streams are crisscrossing, adding to the charm.
Feng Ziying followed Jia Lian as she walked in, and her eyes were dazzled. Although it was winter, the snowy scenery alternated with the black and yellow residual trees and dead grass. It was a unique scenery, which made people feel relaxed and happy.
Feng Ziying and Jia Lian met Jia Mu and others at Ningxixuan.
This time the momentum was greater than before. There were ten or twenty people in the pavilion, standing in layers according to their seniority. It was the girls of the junior generation who were clustered around. There was only a little red Jia Baoyu among the green bushes.
Wearing a bright red brocade robe with arrow sleeves, and a purple-red black fox cloak with inner fur, he is indeed first-rate handsome and unrestrained, with extraordinary appearance.
Fortunately, Jia Baoyu also knew the rules. When he saw Jia Lian and Feng Ziying arriving, he came to greet them from afar and said, "I have met the second brother Lian and the eldest brother Feng."
Seeing that Jia Baoyu was so sensible, Feng Ziying couldn't bear to be sarcastic, so she could only say something lukewarm: "Brother Baoyu, how many poems have you written? I might as well show it to Uncle Zheng Shi this afternoon.
Don’t let Uncle Zheng Shi find trouble with you again.”
Jia Baoyu's face was also a little hot. He also knew that his study situation in the past six months could not be hidden from Brother Feng's ears, so he muttered: "Brother Feng, I have been much more diligent than before in the past six months, even if I can't compete with Brother Feng.
Comparatively, but it can be considered as an improvement,..."
Feng Ziying couldn't laugh or cry. Are you reading for me? I'm your father?
But think about the fact that Jia Baoyu is like this in the original book. His country is easy to change, his nature is hard to change, and he still has the backing of the old lady and Mrs. Wang. Even if Jia Zheng wants to change this ending, it is not so easy.
of?
Seeing that Baoyu's fawning expression was still a bit uneasy, Feng Ziying also laughed for no reason. Maybe this is their fate, so why would she bother to change their life trajectory? How can a fish know the happiness of a fish?
Even if the Jia Mansion collapses in the future and Baoyu becomes a monk, people may think that this is fate, an unchangeable fate, and the principle that man can conquer nature is not recognized in this world.
"Just work hard, don't let Uncle Shi look down upon you." Feng Ziying patted Baoyu on the shoulder, "You are still young, but after all, you need to read some books, both in terms of emotion and reason, in public and private matters.
