Chapter 714 Shi Naian (Cao Zhan) who was buried in the Wu-zi scroll
When the third post was sent from Rongguo Mansion, Feng Ziying finally couldn't remain indifferent.
It seemed that Baoyu really planned to change his mind and start a new life, but Feng Ziying was still skeptical.
However, Jin Chuan'er still inquired about it when he returned to Jia's Mansion. The reason why Jia's Mansion was so attentive in inviting him to come over to have a talk was probably related to the fact that Concubine Jia brought Xin'er from the palace to Jia's Mansion.
Jia Yuanchun seemed to have gradually realized a lot in the palace and was no longer as confused as before, but this was not necessarily a good thing.
The more you know about things in the palace and the more deeply you are involved, it means that the worse your end will be, the faster you will die, and the more people you will be implicated in.
Emperor Yonglong seems to be in good health now. It is said that he pays strict attention to conditioning from diet to work and rest. In addition to court affairs, returning to the palace is to cultivate his moral character. All other entertainment is prohibited. He even wanted to go to the theater in the past, but now it has been cancelled. .
This point was also confirmed by Feng Ziying from Prince Zhongshun.
So King Zhongshun was quite dismissive of the Jia family, and even disrespectful to Concubine Jia. He greatly praised Jia Lian for taking the initiative to leave Rongguo Mansion and join Haitong Yinzhuang to work. He said that Jia Lian had vision and courage.
When Li Shi'er came to deliver the post, Feng Ziying asked Li Shi'er what Mr. Zheng's plan was.
Li Shier didn't dare to talk nonsense. He only said that what the royal concubine in the palace meant was that Uncle Feng and the Jia family were both related by marriage, and Miss Lin was the direct niece of the Jia family. This marriage was an extraordinary relationship. Baoyu handed over to Feng Ziying to manage and educate, and asked Feng Ziying to take more care.
This stumped Feng Ziying.
This Jia Yuanchun used a good trick and actually gave himself a difficult problem, but he still had to think about what he had planned.
"Jin Chuan'er, Yu Chuan'er, do you think Baoyu can really change his past mistakes and return to the right path?" While sitting in front of the window waiting for Yu Chuan'er to tie his hair, he raised his hand to ask Jin Chuan'er to tie it for him. Clothes, Feng Ziying asked casually.
"Who knows this? Second Master Bao has such a temper that he can't be sure when it comes out. Even the Second Master can't control it. It's hard for me to let you control it for the Second Master."
Yuchuaner didn't think too much and said what she had to say. She tied Feng Ziying's hair carefully and meticulously.
"There are also a bunch of people in that room who are all careless. Apart from Xiren, who can also give some advice, there are others like Meiren, Qixi, Zixiao, Sheyue, Qiuwen, which one is not Who only cares about holding Baoyu's smelly feet and pleasing Second Master Baoyu? I'm deeply afraid that I will offend Second Master Baoyu and be sent away in the future."
Jinchuaner glared at her sister and signaled her not to say anything out loud.
"Sister, what do you think I'm doing? Am I wrong? Even Sister Qingwen was too lazy to talk about these things when she was in Mr. Bao's room. She didn't have any thoughts, so she relied on others to control her. I think after all It’s useless.”
"Yuchuan'er said it well." Feng Ziying pinched Yuchuan'er's pink cheeks and praised: "If Baoyu realizes the absurdity before and wants to change his mind, I think even if he doesn't study, he can still do it. Some luck, but if it is just due to the pressure from all aspects of the government, it is just going through the motions, fooling Uncle Zhengshi and Auntie, but that's fine, I don't have to worry about it. If he really wants to show off Repent, don’t I have to put a lot of trouble into trouble?”
"Actually, it depends on whether Second Master Bao can improve. We will know if he is still close to Uncle Xiao Qin and that Jiang Qiguan." Jin Chuan'er said unexpectedly.
Feng Ziying chuckled. It seemed that these maids still had traditional ideas and were extremely disgusted with certain things. Fortunately, she was not good at it.
Seeing Feng Ziying's meaningful smile, Jin Chuan'er was a little flustered, "Don't think bad things, I just said that Second Master Bao has been playing with them and Gao Le all day long, and he has lost his temper."
"I didn't say anything." Feng Ziying couldn't help but patted Jin Chuan'er's plump buttocks, which made Jin Chuan'er's whole body tremble. This was all his own work, "Let's go."
Jia Lian ran to the front of Feng Mansion to pick up Feng Ziying, which made Feng Ziying very puzzled. Is it necessary to be so attentive?
"Sister Feng is tossing around in the house. She has been quarreling with me all day long. She has a nose that is neither a nose nor an eye. I guess she is looking for something." Jia Lian had a gloomy look on his face and sat in the carriage and sighed. More than that, "So Ziying, you really have to be careful about this important matter of marriage."
"Second brother Lian, are you really planning to reconcile with your second sister-in-law? I see that you are doing quite well in the capital now. I am still thinking about telling my cousin that I might as well leave this to you. There is no need to go to Yangzhou. As for the one you have in Yangzhou, whether you want to bring it back to the capital or leave it in Yangzhou is up to you. I guess you haven’t had much thought about this in the past year and a half."
Feng Ziying's words caused Jia Lian to fall into silence for a while, "Ziying, I won't hide it from you. When I left, Guirong was pregnant."
“Huh?!” Feng Ziying was startled. This was different. What if Wang Xifeng knew about it?
Seeing that Feng Ziying was all shocked, Jia Lian felt even more frustrated. If even Feng Ziying was not optimistic about the game between himself and Wang Xifeng, then he might really be out of luck.
"I can't let Guirong enter the house with a pregnant belly. Who knows what Sister Feng is thinking?" Jia Lian sighed: "She has been unresponsive since she gave birth to Sister Qiao. If the eldest brother does not have a son, I will What’s the point of attacking the nobility in the future?”
"Second brother Lian, you are still young, so you don't have to rush for this moment, right? But you said that Guirong is pregnant, so what are you going to do? Go to Yangzhou?" Feng Ziying doesn't want Jia Lian to go to Yangzhou, and he doesn't think Duan Xigui will do it when he comes back. Better than Jia Lian.
"I haven't thought about it yet, but Guirong must not enter the house before she gives birth, otherwise something will definitely happen. We will have to wait until she gives birth to the child to worry about it." Jia Lian was quite sure of this.
Feng Ziying couldn't help but think that in "A Dream of Red Mansions", Jia Lian also considered Second Sister You the same way, but was fooled by Wang Xifeng, who was ruthless and sweet-talking. Second Sister You was also simple-minded and easily believed in Wang Xifeng. If so, naturally we can only lament.
Of course Eryou no longer exists, but this Yangzhou thin horse has appeared again. If he comes to the capital, he will still be unable to escape from Wang Xifeng's murderous hands.
"Brother Lian, my opinion is that we should wait until we give birth to the child in Yangzhou. Now that I am pregnant and traveling thousands of miles, if something goes wrong, people over there in Yangzhou may not be able to adapt to the weather in the capital city. "Feng Ziying gave Jia Lian a piece of advice, which can be regarded as a sign of good deeds.
Jia Lian's shortcoming is that he lacks courage and decisiveness. This is both an advantage and a disadvantage.
One aspect is caution and meticulousness, and another aspect is lack of decisive courage to make breakthroughs.
So it is appropriate to maintain the status quo, but not to initiate it.
For example, if the original layout of the Capital Hao had not been laid out, and King Zhongshun and other clans and merchants from Shanxi and Shaanxi were waving flags, Jia Lian would still be in trouble. But once he got used to it, Jia Lian's advantages would be revealed. He is meticulous and thoughtful. Being comprehensive can avoid many risks.
It can be seen in things like this. Even though I gave him suggestions, he was hesitant.
The carriage arrived at Rongguo Mansion, and Baoyu was waiting for him.
Looking at her big face, she didn't seem to be much thinner. Feng Ziying suspected that she was a little weak after sleeping in the house for more than ten days without eating or drinking. Even if she practiced the Big Gu Technique, she wasn't that powerful. She couldn't take in water or rice for half a month. Still such a round and big-faced baby.
"Really?" Feng Ziying was a little surprised. She hadn't gone anywhere for more than a month, which was not easy for Baoyu.
"Really, if you don't believe Brother Feng, you can ask Brother Lian. I haven't been able to leave the house this month, so I've been practicing calligraphy at home." Baoyu said categorically.
"Okay, but since you spent a month thinking about things, have you figured out what you plan to do?" Feng Ziying felt that if Jia Baoyu could really cheer up, he might be able to do something.
Facing Feng Ziying's question, Jia Baoyu fell into hesitation and pain again. He hesitated for a long time before shaking his head and saying in frustration: "Brother Feng, I have been thinking for the past month, what can I do? Right?" When it comes to reading, you mentioned that I am still somewhat interested in poetry, poetry, and poetry. I can also socialize with it by participating in poetry and cultural gatherings, but I am really not interested in classics, meanings, and current policy theory..."
In a word, if you have no interest in reading, you will naturally have no interest in reading.
"Well, what about learning to do things?" Feng Ziying said calmly, "First, learn what Brother Lian did before, go to your shop and village in Rongguofu to have a look, check the harvest, understand the market, and then come back and do it yourself Think about it, compare it with the income of your family a few years ago, and find some ideas on how to improve it, how about you?"
Baoyu hesitated again, and finally shook his head, "Brother Feng, I'm afraid I don't have the ability. I have never been exposed to it before. I don't understand how the shop makes a living or what is produced in the village, let alone settling accounts."
Feng Ziying cursed in her heart, what else can you do? You also told me that you want to change your mind and be a new person. How else can you be a good person? Become a rich idler who is just waiting to die? Then you have to ask your sister to give birth to a son for the emperor, not even a princess!
Suppressing the anger in her heart and walking slowly into the yard, Feng Ziying tried her best to keep her words from being filled with anger, "Tell me, Baoyu, what kind of life do you really want to live? You all know how you are. It can’t last long, there has to be a right path, right?”
Baoyu finally shook his head in frustration, "I don't know either. The master also asked me. I said that I had never thought about it before. After thinking about it for so long, I still can't figure out what I can do. Later, the eldest sister sent a letter from the palace. , just said that I should listen to Brother Feng, and I will do whatever Brother Feng asks me to do. Big sister said that Brother Feng will not ignore me..."
Jia Yuanchun, Jia Yuanchun, you have really tricked me. What else does Jia Baoyu have besides a skin, and you actually left it to yourself to control? He does whatever I ask him to do. The question is, can he do it? I've never slept with you, why do I have to pick up such a living treasure in my hands?
Feng Ziying was also sulky in her heart. You said you were planning for Jia Huan, but that was because Jia Huan had a good attitude and wanted to make progress, and he also had some affection for Tanchun.
You Jia Baoyu has nothing and is nothing, why should you let yourself plan his life for him? Lin Daiyu is just his cousin, and Xue Baochai is just his cousin, not his biological sister!
After getting the same answer from Jia Zheng, Feng Ziying really felt a little desperate.
It seems that Jia Yuanchun is relying on himself and must give Baoyu to himself to train and control, but how can he have the ability to train the big-faced Baoyu?
This article cannot be picked, and Wu can not raise a gun. What can you do?
It turned out that I had considered letting him get famous by being a good person and mixing in poetry and prose, and find a princess or princess or something, so that he could enjoy long-lasting wealth and honor for a lifetime. But as soon as Jia Yuanchun entered the palace and became a noble concubine, this was the prince-consort's dream. It was shattered all of a sudden.
The sons and daughters of the princesses who are of the same generation as Emperor Yonglong are already as old as Jia Baoyu, such as Wei Ruolan, and the daughters of other princes of the Supreme Emperor's generation are not even as old as him.
Of course, it's not impossible to fool Jia Zheng and ignore Jia Yuanchun. But looking at Jia Zheng's earnest eyes and Baoyu's confused expression, Feng Ziying felt that she really couldn't bear to treat the father and son.
Jia Zheng has no bad intentions, he just has no ability, and Baoyu is just a child who was spoiled by his family, and unfortunately he was born in an era that does not belong to him. What can he do?
"Baoyu said he has been staying at home for the past month~www..com~thinking about something. I wonder what book Baoyu is reading?" Feng Ziying really couldn't think of a better way. He looked at Baoyu's face. The look is also emotional.
Jia Yuanchun probably felt something, but some things cannot be changed by just feeling them. It can be said that people cannot help themselves in the world, whether in court or in the palace.
Jia Baoyu showed a rare shyness on his face, "I haven't read many books, just some miscellaneous books and some legendary novels..."
Legendary storybook? Feng Ziying was stunned, and Jia Zheng's face was even more angry.
"Baoyu also likes to read these legendary storybooks?" Feng Ziying did not expect that Jia Baoyu also had this hobby.
This legendary story novel originated in the Tang Dynasty, such as "The Biography of Liu Yi", "The Biography of Yingying", "The Biography of the Bearded Guest", etc. Later, it further evolved in the Song Dynasty and the pre-Ming Dynasty, and was combined with poetry, storytelling and other content forms to become more and more popular. enriched.
The storytellers in the teahouses and theaters in the capital city are actually mostly based on such legendary novels.
Therefore, these legendary story-telling novels in this era are somewhat equivalent to the online novels of later generations. Although they are difficult to be considered elegant in the eyes of many people, they are just like operas. They were not considered elegant at first, but By now, it has become an indispensable form of social entertainment for the upper class.
"Yes, I like it." Seeing that there was no contempt or dissatisfaction in Feng Ziying's voice, Baoyu cheered up, "I have read a lot of these legendary novels and feel that the plots of these legendary novels are very exciting, and they can also be combined with the dynasty at that time. Its history is full of ups and downs and fascinating..."
Seeing that Baoyu talked endlessly about this legend, even ignoring her father's unkind eyes, Feng Ziying estimated that Jia Baoyu was probably feeling uncomfortable during this period of time.
And Jia Zheng has probably given up on Jia Baoyu a long time ago. As long as Jia Baoyu doesn't do anything extraordinary, he will be left alone.
Jia Baoyu is already fifteen years old, and it’s time to talk about marriage.
Feng Ziying thought about it. Originally, he did not have much idea about how to control Jia Baoyu, but now he sees that Jia Baoyu is so interested in legendary novels, and he also knows that Jia Baoyu still has literary talent. If he can Some people are so good at it that they can't find a new way and find a way out.
Of course, it seems that this road is not a good road now, but with the development of the times, many things have developed and changed. Maybe this guy can really have some attainments in it, just like Liu Xianglian, who has some It's wonderful that they have different approaches but similar approaches.
"Uncle Zhengshi, let me have a good talk with Baoyu, and you can go and do your work. After all, since even the imperial concubine has entrusted me with her entrustment in the letter, it would seem inappropriate for me to shirk it again." Feng Ziying made up her mind. So he sent Jia Zheng away first.
After Jia Zheng left, Feng Ziying raised her hand and said, "Let's go, Baoyu, let's go and have a look in your room."
Baoyu also understood. Seeing that Feng Ziying was going to his room, he didn't know what to say, but he didn't dare to ask. Even the master had already nodded to hand her over to him for control, so she could only bow and obey. Ordered.
When I arrived at Baoyu's room, I saw the Four Books, Five Classics and various annotations neatly arranged on Baoyu's bookshelf. I could tell at a glance that they had not been read for a long time, but the various miscellaneous books piled aside were bookmarks. The folder was full, and Feng Ziying flipped through it casually, including "Snow on Liangshan", "Liangshan Biography", "Changban Slope", "Liu Yi Biography", "Three Heroes of the Fengchen", and a lot of legendary novels in various scripts. Feng Ziying even I saw something densely written on several pages hidden on the bottom pieces of paper.
Seeing that Feng Ziying discovered the secret, Jia Baoyu's face turned red and he immediately went to cover it up, but Feng Ziying, who was quick-sighted, snatched it and took it over to take a look, "In the last years of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and the heroes were fighting for control in the Central Plains..."
Why does it sound so familiar? Feng Ziying couldn't help but scratch her head, which seemed to bring back some long-lasting memories.
“The thousand-year-old Shaolin Temple has eight hundred monks and soldiers, and the Shaolin stick monks...”
Feng Ziying couldn’t bear it any longer, “Thirteen stick monks rescued the King of Tang? Baoyu, are you writing the story of thirteen stick monks saving the King of Tang?”
Seeing Jia Baoyu blushing and finally nodding anxiously, Feng Ziying couldn't help but think to herself three times in a row: Could this guy really be the buried Shi Naian or Luo Guanzhong, or Cao Zhan? Discovered by yourself?
