The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 255

However, it is said that since Jia Baoyu was summoned by the emperor and asked face-to-face about the principles of studying things to learn, he was forced by Jia Zheng to study "Tiangong Kaiwu", "Nongzheng Quanshu", and "Fangyuan Chanyou" in addition to the Four Books and Five Classics. Kind of juggling.

The first two are fine. Although I don’t understand them very well, I can at least memorize them by rote. But the latter, which was recently published on mathematics, is like a heavenly book to Baoyu. , can't solve the problem or can't solve the problem.

Thanks to Jia Zheng and even the Qing people around him, he knew all the seven orifices and only six orifices in the calculation, and he couldn't do it if he wanted to take the school exam, which allowed Baoyu to escape for the time being.

But judging from the rumors of the government and the public, the emperor is very proficient in this, if he counts the exams when he is summoned next time...

It's okay for his fake Baoyu to show his cowardice in front of the king. How can the master be willing to forgive him after returning home?

"Ah~"

Thinking of this, Jia Baoyu sighed bitterly, threw the "Fang Yuan Shan You" on the ground in a fit of anger, and stepped on it twice with lingering anger.

Immediately afterwards, he moved to the window, waved and whistled twice to the birdcage hanging on the porch, and heard the chirping and joyful response of the oriole, his whole body felt as refreshed as if he had eaten ginseng fruit.

At this time, Jia Baoyu thought about it again when he heard a sound of thumping in the pond, and simply took a fishing rod and went to find Sister Lin to fish to relieve boredom.

Thinking of Sister Lin, I couldn't help but think back to the strange demeanor and behavior of the master and wife when some servant asked someone to propose marriage the day before yesterday.

Hey~
Jia Baoyu couldn't help but sighed again, and most of the energy he had just raised was gone.

Just at this moment, a clear and clear voice suddenly came to my ears: "Second Master, were you calling me just now?"

Jia Baoyu was taken aback when he heard the words, and turned around to follow the prestige, only to see a charming and strange little maid, holding a bouquet of cosmos and chuckling at herself.

Baoyu couldn't help but wonder: "Where did you come from? It scared me."

"I just got back the flowers."

The servant girl raised the cosmos in her hand and said with a smile: "I was passing by this corridor, and I heard the second master waving and whistling through the window, thinking that the second master had some orders--I heard what the second master said, but I Misunderstood."

Baoyu stared intently at the pretty maid, and continued to ask curiously: "What's your name?"

"Little Red."

"Are you in my house too?"

"Ah."

Seeing her nodding her head in recognition, Baoyu was even more surprised: "Since you are in my house, why don't I know you?"

"There are many people that the second master doesn't know. I'm not the only one?"

That Xiaohong shook her head playfully, and said cheerfully and cleverly: "I don't need to wait in the house at ordinary times, and I don't do anything when I see the second master, how can you know him?"

Just as he was talking, he suddenly heard the laughter of Qiuwen and Bihen from outside.

Xiao Hong immediately lowered her head and neck, concealed the sparkle in her eyes, and said softly: "Since I got it wrong, then don't bother Second Master."

With that said, he turned around and walked out.

Baoyu raised his hand behind her, hesitated for a while, but finally did not stop her.

When Xiaohong came out of the study, she saw Qiuwen and Bihen complaining to each other, one said "you wet my skirt" and the other said "you kicked my shoe", she didn't realize that she was .

If she followed her usual style, Xiaohong should stick to the wall and hide in a corner, trying to avoid the two talents, but this time she went up to meet them without dodging, and greeted with a smile: "Sisters! , let me come."

When Qiuwen Bihen saw that she had come out of the study, she became suspicious. After searching around, she found that only Baoyu was there alone, and the alarm bells rang in her heart.

You must know that Xiren and Qingwen are the highest-ranking maids in Baoyu's house, and the rest are slightly inferior to them. Now that Qingwen is having tea, it's not just one or two who are thinking about the vacancy of the first-class maid.

It would be fine if she changed to an ordinary little maid, but this Xiaohong is Lin Zhixiao's daughter, it was purely an accident that she fell into the ordinary little maid, but now that she has the chance, she may not be able to climb to the top of everyone!
Therefore, when Qiuwen Bihen saw her touching Baoyu in private, how could she not be nervous?

Without thinking too much at the moment, the two chased into the yard and pointed at Xiaohong and asked, "What were you doing in there just now?!"

"I did not do anything."

Xiaohong said calmly: "Second Master was waving through the window just now, I happened to pass under the window, and thought Second Master was letting me in, but it turned out to be a misunderstanding, so I hurried out again."

Hearing this, Qiu Wen spit out his face and scolded: "Shameless bastard! Just now I told you to go get water, but you insisted that you have some errands to be busy, and you told us to go, so it turned out that you were waiting to do this trick. What about Zong'er! You don't take a mirror to see if you deserve to be called by the second master through the window!"

Bihen also sneered at the side: "Tomorrow, I'll tell them, if the second master asks for tea or water in the study, let's not move, just ask her to go."

Qiu Wen gritted her teeth again: "If you want to say that, it's better for us to break up and let her serve in this room alone!"

Just as he was talking, Xiren came back outside with the newly-collared paper and ink. Seeing that the two were besieging Xiaohong like mules biting each other, he hurried forward to ask the reason.

After asking about the cause and effect, Xiren couldn't help laughing and said: "It's just a misunderstanding, let Xiaohong pay attention not to break the rules in the future, it's worth your yelling like this?"

These words are obviously to help Xiaohong change things around, but secretly she also believes that Xiaohong broke the rules first.

Then she pouted outside the courtyard door: "Since you are free, you just go to the front yard and ask, see if there is anything else you need this month."

Xiaohong obediently agreed, turned around and hurried out of the courtyard gate, and then stood silently outside the gate.

Across the threshold, one could still hear Qiuwen Bihen pointing and cursing inside, but Xiren didn't speak to stop her.

So her originally calm little face completely collapsed, and the two competitors, Qiuwen Bihen, were fine, but she obviously repulsed herself if she didn't want to attack others.

One must know that even if Xiaohong takes up Qingwen's vacancy, she will never be able to get past her.

But even so, Xiren still...

Xiaohong wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, then headed towards the second layman with a dull head.

Along the way, she got farther and farther away from Baoyu, and she felt a desire to retreat in her heart.

A big maid like Qingwen who is favored by Baoyu can be pushed out, and she offended everyone when she took office. Even if she can get what she wants, how can she last for a long time?

It's better to find another place, or even find a lover who can be entrusted to for life, even if it is a small family, it is better than being dependent on others.

"What a coincidence, Miss Hong, Miss Hong!"

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard someone shouting not far away. When I looked up, I saw a young servant following Baoyu, walking forward with a smile on his face.

Since Mingyan was escorted to Shuntian Mansion, these servants have obviously become much more obedient, and when they came to them, they saluted solemnly before saying with a smile: "After waiting for a long time, no one came out, good sister , please go in and bring a letter saying that the second master on the porch is here."

"What's up and down the corridor?"

At this time, I saw a handsome young man in a royal blue scribe robe, with cat eyes on his head and a jade belt around his waist, come out of the room, and said in a dignified manner: "When you met Uncle Bao, just say that Yuner is asking to see you." .”

Only then did Xiao Hong realize that it was the Second Master Yun of the family.

Because she heard that this brother Yun not only fell into the eyes of Uncle Jiao, but also that Second Master Bao once praised him for being down-to-earth and motivated, she couldn't help staring at him a few times, and her heart couldn't help but become lively.

At the same time, she said: "According to me, Second Master, please go home first, and come back tomorrow if you have anything to do. I will go back inside tonight tonight to pave the way for you."

Jia Yun was puzzled: "Why?"

Xiaohong explained: "Our master didn't sleep well today, so he had dinner early, and he didn't see any outsiders in the evening. Could it be possible to let the second master wait here to starve? Why don't we go home first and come back tomorrow?" It's serious."

As he spoke, he took out the veil and wiped his face, but when he tucked it back into his waist, his hands seemed to slip, and the veil fell to the ground.

This is also a common plot in the play, all kinds of handkerchiefs and kits are like Yuelao's red thread, but if they are picked up by men, they will be destined for three lives.

Jia Yun is a spirited person. After seeing Xiao Hong put down the veil, she sneaked a peek at herself and guessed what this pretty maid was thinking, but she smiled calmly and said, "Then I won't bother Uncle Bao." Well, these few books are new to my search, to see if Uncle Bao is suitable for use, if not, I will find another way to change them."

As he spoke, he took out a few books from his sleeve and handed them to Xiaohong.

Xiaohong quickly took it in her hand, and the two looked at each other. Xiaohong lowered her head shyly, turned around and walked back.

Jia Yun watched her go away, then dismissed the boy again, looked at the handkerchief on the ground, but couldn't help feeling troubled.

If he had been caught by such a pretty maid before, he would have happily picked up the veil long ago.

however……

Now Jia Yun is no longer the poor boy who has almost nothing but a famous surname.

In the past year, I have been with Uncle Jiao, not only eating and drinking without worrying about the family's surplus money, but also broadening my horizons in the yamen - more importantly, Uncle Jiao also promised that as long as I do my job with sincerity, when His Majesty promotes the artisan officer, Just help yourself get an official status.

If you really have an official status, it is obviously inappropriate to marry a maid as the main wife.

Let her be a concubine, but she may not agree.

After thinking about it, Jia Yun glanced at the handkerchief one last time, gritted her teeth and turned around, leaving only the glowing red handkerchief fluttering in the wind in vain.
