Chapter 213 The fourth scroll of B enters the Jia 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 Feng family's eldest son hasn't come to our house for a year of study, right? He's also a good family man, so why not Ask Lian'er to invite him over, and ask Baoyu to follow, so we can hold an extra table here together."
Hearing what the old lady said, Youshi and Qinshi hurriedly said, "That's good. I'll tell you and Brother Rong, and we can 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 at first, and then his expression became complicated, but in the end he still showed some relief and happiness.
Although his feelings towards Feng Ziying became more and more complex, Feng Ziying's words to him last time were still very enlightening, and he also knew that the weight of Feng Ziying's words was 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 Can be slightly better.
Feng Ziying and Jia Lian were both a little surprised when they received Jia Mu's call. Wang Xifeng explained that this had been decided by Dongfu, but they just happened to catch up.
Seeing Yuanyang hesitate to speak, Feng Ziying's heart moved slightly.
He has always had a good impression of this smart and sensible pretty maid. Ping'er, the two maids of the Jia family, is the favorite of Jia Lian. Even if he has a good impression, he will not think too much about it, but this one does not have so many scruples. looked up and down.
Faced with Feng Ziying's unbridled 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 some 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.
"Today, after the snow, the plum blossoms are just right, so my ancestors told the second master to let Baoyu enjoy the plum blossoms together and write poems at the same time."
Is this also the reason? Do we have to rely on plum appreciation to write poems in this autumn and spring? If your Baoyu is as capable as Xu Xie, he can enjoy plum blossoms, compose poems, drink and paint every day, but you are still far from good at reading. Your father is driving you crazy. How long has it been before you are back to your old ways? Already?
It's just that it's not his turn to say anything more about such matters. Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang are both here, 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 on good terms with them, but now such a big business was blocked by Jia Lian. Although Feng Ziying was the one who pulled the strings, everyone knew that he should be the biggest beneficiary.
"Second Brother Lian, we are also relatives after all. Are we going to stop seeing each other for drinks in the future? This business is not just for this one time, maybe it will happen again in the next year?" Feng Ziying could only forgive, he and Jia Zhenjiarong were even more If we don’t have much in common, we can’t just have a meal and be lectured by Jia Baoyu all the time, right?
“Really, can you still make such a living after a new year?” Jia Lian asked anxiously.
Didn’t expect Jia Lian to take it seriously. Feng Ziying bit the bullet and said: "Look, I guess there will be some other things to do, 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 there is 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.
In his opinion, Feng Ziying is very friendly to him, and it is not at all because of his relationship with his wife, so after so long, he has become closer to Feng Ziying.
Jia Lian himself is not a scholar, so he is still looking forward to Feng Ziying being able to study and even pass the examination. It would be an honor for him to have such a friend. If Feng Ziying can have greater success in the future With the good fortune, I can also cling to this big tree and make a living.
Jia Lian is becoming more and more disappointed with the situation of the Jia family, especially after hearing that his wife has to **** 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 succeeds in studying and achieves great success in the future, he will simply leave Jia's family, including his wife, and make a living on his own.
People in this house are also getting angry in various ways. 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 is all about keeping up the outer skin. It is okay to make a living by doing some crooked ways of lending money and soliciting lawsuits, but if he wants to really do something serious, he has 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 rare. Now after all calculations, this brother Keng is considered to be a promising person. Now he is betting on a cold stove. On the body, you may not be able to feel proud in the future.
"You have to pass this level after all. If you are sure, then you have to give it a try." Feng Ziying naturally would not let down her own ambition and prestige, "Even in Chun Wei, I dare not say, but in Qiu Wei, I am still somewhat sure. .”
Seeing Feng Ziying's affirmative attitude, Jia Lian was both happy and worried.
If 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 found someone to bring a message to the Feng family, but there is no news from there. , it seems to mean that he is still young and is a little slow, I don’t know if it is an excuse.
Of course, for me, it will definitely be good for me if Brother Keng is successful in the middle age. This is really exciting and worrying.
Each of them went to Huifang Garden with their thoughts in mind.
This Huifang Garden is a first-class place for Ningguo Mansion. Passing from Dengxian Pavilion and the courtyard of Doufengxuan is Tianxiang Pavilion. This is where Ningguo Mansion banquets are held. If you go back on 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 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 withered 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 even greater than before. There were a dozen or so people in the pavilion, standing in layers according to their seniority. On the contrary, the girls of the junior generation were clustered around, and there was only a little red among the green bushes - Jia Baoyu is dressed in a bright red Luo Jin 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 over to greet them from afar and said, "I've 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 Bao, how many poems have you written? You 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. 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? Am I 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 flattering expression was still a bit uneasy, Feng Ziying also burst into laughter for no reason. Maybe this was their fate, so why did she have to change their life trajectory? you are not a fish, how to know the joy of 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 love and reason, in public and private matters. It needs to be so.”
