Chapter 1387 Xin Zi Juan, I make the decision for you
Jia Baoyu turned pale and looked at Feng Ziying in disbelief.
This was the first time he had seen Feng Ziying with such an attitude. At this moment, he truly felt that the Feng brother in his mouth was no longer the approachable, easy-going and kind brother Feng, but the Shuntian Fu Cheng who always spoke the truth.
Of course Jia Baoyu knew the origin of Feng Ziying's disdainful attitude towards Qin Zhong and Jiang Yuhan, and he did not dare to point it out or argue, but if he really wanted to stop interacting with Qin Zhong and Jiang Yuhan, it would be more uncomfortable than killing him. .
There are a few confidants in life, and Zhong Geer and Jiang Yuhan are two of them. Only they can understand their inner worries and anguish, and can comfort and relieve their inner restlessness and resentment. Now Brother Feng actually wants to prohibit himself from talking to them. How can we get along with each other?
And this is his own private matter, why can Brother Feng interfere?
How come the children of the families of King Beijing, Prince Zhongshun, Duke Zhen and Duke Qi can be so free, yet they themselves have to be hijacked by an outsider?
But under Feng Ziying's sharp gaze, Baoyu found that he did not dare to resist or argue. He murmured for a long time before weakly saying: "Brother Feng, you can't do this. I don't have many friends now. Do you want me to stay here all the time?" Are you going to die of suffocation in the garden?"
Feng Ziying looked at Baoyu, and there was a trace of tears in his weak eyes, and she couldn't bear it in her heart.
It can be said that this well-deserved Yan Wang and the first male protagonist in the book "Dream of Red Mansions" has unparalleled luck. He was born with jade in his mouth and filled the house with fragrance. After the Duke of the country, his grandmother doted on him. He was also talented and intelligent, and he spoke well. Bu Cheng's poems were a piece of cake for him. Countless people held them in their hands for fear of falling, and held them in their mouths for fear of melting. He was extremely honored.
Even if the only shortcoming is that he doesn't like to read classics, it is not a big deal for a martial arts family.
Among the children of the Four Kings, Eight Dukes and Twelve Marquises, how many of them like to read or have read books?
Jia Lian, Jia Zhen, and Jia Rong also don’t study?
There are also people like Chen Yepin, Han Qi, and Wei Ruolan who are familiar with him. Didn't they also fail to study after spending several years in the Imperial College?
It doesn't matter if he doesn't study. As long as he can inherit the family business, he can also live a life of a master. Look at the girls Dai Chai and Yun who surround him. They are all beautiful and beautiful from the country and have good family backgrounds. It can be said that you can choose whatever you want. , it can be said that as long as they don't seek death, the noble families in the feudal dynasty will live a life of wealth and leisure.
Feng Ziying didn't know if it was because of the dream she had while sleeping on the big bed in Qin Keqing's boudoir. She acted wantonly in the dream, and it seemed that all her luck had been transferred to herself.
He married Baochai and Baoqin, and was engaged to Daiyu. Even Yingchun and Xiuyan might have to join the Feng family, not to mention that he also picked up the twelve or secondary hairpins in Red Mansions such as Jinchuaner and Xiangling. Even Wang Xifeng has become his forbidden favorite among the beautiful flowers and bones.
It seems that even Jia Baoyu in the book "Dream of Red Mansions" cannot imagine such a winner in life, right?
Looking back at Jia Baoyu now, her halo has faded and she has gradually disappeared from everyone.
Jia Huan's rise, as well as Jia Lan and Jia Cong's outstanding performance, have directly impacted his status and influence in the mansion. Even Jia's mother still dotes on him, but she sees that Jia Huan, Jia Lan and Jia Cong can all study. , especially Jia Huan, who is the younger brother of a concubine, has entered Qingtan Academy and is expected to win the exam in the autumn competition next year.
But he could only polish his reputation by hanging out in the second-rate literary society in the capital city, or he could earn one or two refining fees from writing legendary paintings. Although he seemed to have a good reputation and was a member of the literati, no one could It is clear that the gap between this and the real scholars has become more and more obvious.
Even Jia Lian, another loser in the original "Dream of Red Mansions" book, has successfully turned around with his help and got the job of the shopkeeper of Haitong Bank Yangzhou. However, Jia Baoyu is addicted to himself because of his dislike of worldly affairs. in a small circle.
Can we say that Jia Baoyu really did many heinous things that were harmful to nature and justice? Really not, maybe incompetence or mediocrity is the original sin?
Jia Baoyu did not expect that Feng Ziying's words suddenly softened, and his words were also very pertinent. He also admitted that Feng Ziying's words were reasonable, but he really couldn't do it to make a clean break with Qin Zhong and Jiang Yuhan now.
"Brother Feng, I know you are doing it for my own good, but life may not be the same for everyone. I know you have made great achievements in your official career. Brother Huan, Brother Lan, and Brother Cong all regard you as an example, and every move you make I all learn from you, but you also know that I don’t like officialdom, I just like a more free life. If you want me to be like you, I can’t do it. I like to be with my friends,..."
Jia Baoyu said these words with great difficulty. He did not dare to look at Feng Ziying, and his body was trembling. The big round face of the past seemed to have lost some weight, and it looked more feminine and charming.
Feng Ziying looked straight at Baoyu, and then said for a long time: "Baoyu, I hope you will think carefully about what I said. Don't make the old lady and your mother sad, let alone make Uncle Zheng Shi lose face outside. In addition, I will give advice to the old lady and your mother later to find a suitable marriage for you as soon as possible, so that you can get married by the end of this year, and also to continue the incense of your Jia family earlier, do you understand what I mean?"
Jia Baoyu breathed a sigh of relief and nodded guiltily: "I understand, little brother."
"Okay, as long as you understand." Feng Ziying could only do the next best thing, "You and Qin Zhong and Jiang Yuhan can't be so close. You also have to respect your identity. I also have to give them a good beating and don't make trouble. Some ridiculous things come and embarrass everyone."
Baoyu could only nod and did not dare to speak any more.
This can only be done. Feng Ziying also knew that with the doting of Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang on Baoyu, he would not believe it at all if they knew nothing about his hookup with Qin Zhong and Jiang Yuhan.
It's just that Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang probably think that this is just an "elegant taste" for the children of wealthy families, and there is no need to make a fuss about it. This Jia family already has this tradition. Jia She, Jia Lian, and even Jia Zhen and Jia Lian seem to have had it. Just don't indulge in this kind of "elegance".
It's not that Feng Ziying wants to take care of Jia Baoyu's affairs. Firstly, Jia Zheng does have a commission. Secondly, Yingchun wants to be her concubine. In addition, Baochai and Baoqin are both married to her. In the future, there will be Daiyu, and even explore. It's hard to say what Chun's future will be, and it seems that he and the Jia family are no longer involved.
Although he really doesn't want to take care of these bad things in the Jia family, he can't control the original bad things in the Jia family, and even the bad things in Jia She, but at least he has to live up to his own conscience and do what he can. Do something within the scope.
Jia Baoyu is not a very bad person, but he has developed a lazy and bohemian nature since he was a child. He helps if he can. If he really can't help, then he has done his best.
What surprised Feng Ziying was that not only Mrs. Wang was in Jia Mu's room, but also Mrs. Xing, who usually didn't like to be in Jia Mu's room.
Compared with the last time she came to the house, Jia Mu, Mrs. Xing, and Mrs. Wang all felt that Feng Ziying had changed a lot.
If Feng Ziying still had some gentleness and elegance last time, this time it has faded a lot, replaced by the dignified majesty of a superior, with a unique demeanor in every gesture, and I don’t know how others are. Look, at least that's what Jia Mu feels in her heart. This boy is becoming more and more magnanimous as a fourth-grade official.
"Brother Keng, things in Shuntian Mansion are definitely much busier than those in Yongping Mansion. You must also put your official duties first. If you have free time in Rongguo Mansion, come and sit down. Baoyu, Brother Huan Brother Lang and Brother Cong are all looking forward to you teaching them more..."
Jia's mother still looked rich, leaning cross-legged on the kang. Although Feng Ziying was a fourth-rank official, she was the grandson of a family friend, so there was no need to be too particular.
"Uncle Zhengshi also told Ziying when he left. Naturally, Ziying did not dare to neglect. He had just taken over the official duties a few days ago, so he was a little busy. Now he is gradually getting used to it, so he can spare some time..." Feng Ziying Luoluo said generously: "I have been talking to Baoyu for a while just now. I remembered that Uncle Zheng Shi once told me that Baoyu was not young, so he had to consider getting married. I don't know what the old lady and aunt thought about it. ?”
Going straight to the topic, Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing were all surprised, but then I thought about it. This jade is already eighteen years old. I should have considered this matter long ago. But in the early stage, I always felt that I couldn't find it. Only when you are suitable and satisfied will you be dragged down. Now that Feng Ziying said this, could it be that there is a suitable person?
Hearing that Feng Ziying raised this matter, Jia Baoyu also turned a little pale, and wanted to argue, but when he saw Feng Ziying looking sideways, he immediately got cold feet, shrunk his neck, and did not dare to say anything.
"Ziying, have you found a suitable family?" Mrs. Wang was impatient and asked immediately: "Baoyu is indeed not young. As long as he is in a suitable family, we don't care about anything else. As long as he has the right family background and the right family, we can It is worthy of our precious jade, and we don’t care about other things,..."
These words are light and simple, but the inner meaning is not easy. Feng Ziying has been there, so of course she understands.
