Chapter 1074: Geng Zijuan accepts a disciple and gives a gift
For a moment, Feng Ziying didn't know what to do. She could only help the other person up and said dryly: "Okay, okay..., Langeer, get up..."
Seeing Feng Ziying raise her hand to help herself, Jia Lan stood up gracefully. After bowing his head, he 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 sentence. I will not be surprised by the favor or disgrace. I will watch the flowers bloom and fall 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, and he is more capable in terms of being favored. 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.
Especially, the ancestor’s doting on Uncle Bao was unrivaled 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 grandparents, which makes it difficult for him all the time. Jialan, who grew up in such a big family, 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 of contempt that Uncle Huan has received in the house, Jia Lan also feels the same. Once Huan San Uncle Zhen had passed the exam, 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 as a Jinshi. A situation of bossing around and rolling eyes.
It’s just that Uncle Huan climbed onto Uncle Feng Shi’s thick legs early. From the beginning of studying 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. The 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 not interested in studying 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 outside, was getting wider and wider. However, his age and the fact that he had not yet obtained scholar status made him confined to his home, which made Jia Lan 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 at the door of the mansion, he took the initiative to follow the two uncles. Now he finally stood out and won Uncle Feng Shi's favor over him. He looked at him with admiration, and his impression was probably deeper than when he appeared in front of Feng Shishu in the past few years.
At this time, when Jia Lan heard that Feng Shishu gave 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 keep them in mind 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 bit 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, my age and experience were not enough to accept you as a student, but your mother has said it many times, Langeer, and you are interested in learning, so I will reluctantly accept you as a disciple." 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, and you also have this ambition, it’s just a coincidence.”
Jialan then stood up and stood aside respectfully.
At this time, Baoyu and Jia Huan came to their senses 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 city.
"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 Jingyi teacher at Qingtan Academy has resigned from his position as an academy teacher. He has 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 specialized in studying classics and meanings under him, he was famous in the academy. Unexpectedly, Zhou Jiaoyu actually resigned and went to 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 simply overjoyed. The master arranged for his Jingyi 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 compare with him. He can't catch up to Uncle Huan's current level.
Thinking of this, Jialan 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 he had overturned a jar of jealousy. He was no more greedy than Baoyu in this regard. In the future, he would also be rushing to take the exams for the imperial examinations in the autumn and spring. Now Langeer suddenly made a move and wanted to win. 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. You gave Brother Lang a It’s a classic gift, and I 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, you should be calmer because of your Qi and body. 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 while 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 without even 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 him over and over again. The more he chewed and tasted, the more frightened he became.
I went to the academy to study, met many friends and classmates, and my academic performance became better and better. I inevitably felt a little complacent and high-spirited. My normal behavior seemed to be a bit high-key, and 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 felt slightly satisfied. This guy Huan Laosan is like this. If he doesn't knock for a little bit, he will raise his tail and make mistakes. Just look at his attitude towards Baoyu and you will know that this guy is going to do something wrong again. You are starting to be arrogant, and I don’t want to think that you haven’t even passed the examination yet. 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 pass the Qiuwei exam before talking about other things? Just such a small amount of the city government's measures?
"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 he gave to Jia Lan and Jia Huan, and smiled and said: "I hope you can appreciate the true meaning and pursue what you want. Brother Feng will always support you."
Baoyu, who was carefully savoring the true meaning of his words, his eyes lit up and he suddenly wanted to say something, but in the end he nodded silently.
