Sword of the Red Chamber from Heaven

Chapter 638: Three incidents in the Jia family, the storm rises in the Xue family

"Second Master, why don't you take a rest first! You've been reading all afternoon. If you continue to read, your eyes will be damaged."

In a study room, a maid came in with tea.

If it were before, they would never have imagined that Jia Baoyu would become like this one day.

In fact, for those of them who serve Jia Baoyu, they don't want Jia Baoyu to be so motivated. In this way, the young master will no longer be stubborn with them, and they can't do anything even if they want to.

"It's still a little short. After I finish writing this policy paper, I will go out for a walk. If I don't wait for dinner, Mr. Xu will have to check it. If I can't take it out, I will get a slap in the face."

Mr. Xu was the gentleman specially invited by Jia Zheng for Jia Baoyu. This gentleman was an extraordinary private school teacher. If it had not been for the previous turmoil in the capital, the Jia family might not have been able to invite him to sit in the hall.

However, among the descendants of Jia's family, only Jia Baoyu can enter this Dharma's eye.

He simply refused to accept the rest of the playboys. Later, Jia Baoyu went to Jia's mother specifically for this matter, and finally it was decided that Mr. Xu would become Jia Baoyu's exclusive husband.

After about another cup of tea, Jia Baoyu put down his pen and took a long breath. He had not been exposed to policy theory for a long time. Writing this thing was extremely labor-intensive. Mr. Xu's requirements were extremely strict. , and more importantly, if you write something meaningful, if you write a long piece of nonsense, he will definitely tear it up and rewrite it.

Once, Jia Baoyu wrote an article. The language was extremely gorgeous, and the rhetoric was piled up. It was catchy to read, but it was beautiful, but the content was empty. After reading it, it seemed as if he had not read it.

After reading it, Mr. Xu threw it away without saying a word, and then asked Jia Baoyu to rewrite it. Later, the boy who collected the scrapped manuscript got it and gave it to Jia Zheng. After reading it, Jia Zheng and several cleaners he invited , were all stunned.

They only thought that the literary talent was brilliant and it was really a masterpiece, but in the end they were abandoned by Mr. Xu like a pair of worn shoes, and they thought that Mr. Xu was ignorant!

But later, Jia Baoyu submitted the manuscript again. Although Mr. Xu was dissatisfied, he did not throw it away like last time. Instead, he began to patiently give pointers and criticize the current shortcomings. In today's imperial examinations, Emperor Ming Kang was not the kind to pursue gorgeous words. I prefer pragmatic people.

Therefore, more of the people chosen by him are those who can really solve problems. Their own families know their own affairs. It seems that this is what the emperor likes. How can those examiners go against the emperor.

Therefore, the examination style in recent years has changed from the previous style. Truth and pragmatism prevail, and literary talent is second. So if you have to choose one of the two, it will undoubtedly be the former.

Those who are not experienced people may not be able to tell the secrets here. If you pursue pragmatism above literary talent, you will undoubtedly fall behind.

Then, when this policy paper was placed on Jia Zheng's desk, Jia Zheng felt a little displeased as soon as he glanced at it. It was ordinary and unremarkable. However, as the article progressed, he couldn't help but feel a twist. .

The more prosaic the place, the steeper the mountain. When reading to the end, he couldn't help but say "yes".

As for those Qingke, after reading it, they were stunned. Most of them were scholars. They may not be good enough for the imperial examination, but they could still tell the quality of the article.

The previous compliments were all over the top, but now that they have seen the real thing, they know that Mr. Xu is worthy of his reputation. Even if they study for another ten years, they may not be able to write this policy essay.

Later, Jia Zheng entertained Mr. Xu alone for a banquet. Although he did not qualify for the imperial examination, he liked reading and often regarded himself as a scholar. Jia Qi had been favored by him when he was young, so he also made the three agreements.

Later, when he heard Mr. Xu's request for the article from Jia Baoyu, he heard the thunder in the silence and couldn't help but scream in admiration.

So later on, Jia Baoyu was beaten, and Jia Zheng forcefully blocked Jia's mother back. Naturally, Jia Baoyu's policy was to write better and better.

Although Jia Mu doesn't understand those articles and calculations, she can still tell whether something is good or bad. Even if she can't tell the difference, isn't there Lin Ruhai, the prime minister?

Of course, to Lin Ruhai, these things are nothing but trivial matters, but as for Mr. Xu, he did not comment on it. Good is good. Although the level is not enough to teach a top scholar, Jia Baoyu can teach Jia Baoyu. It's really enough. "I heard from father that Uncle Lin is coming today. Are all the sisters gone?"

Jia Baoyu washed his hands and took a sip of tea. Behind him, there were several maids who helped him loosen the bag, rub his shoulders, and hammer his arms.

"Actually, let's say it would be best if Mr. Lin can teach the second master. That Mr. Xu is too strict."

After hearing what Musk Yue said, Xiren couldn't help but complain.

"That's right, last time the second master came back, his whole hand was swollen, which made us all cry. If that gentleman's level is really high, then ask him to take the Jinshi exam and let us see!! "

"Okay, stop talking. Mr. Xu is also doing it for my own good. Some things have to be dealt with twice, otherwise he will not remember it. As for Uncle Lin, although it is a good idea, now Uncle Lin is the prime minister and assistant. I’m so busy with work, I’m afraid I don’t have time to teach me.”

"Besides, even Sister Lin is in our house. If he had time, he would have taken Sister Lin away long ago."

Speaking of Daiyu, Jia Baoyu looked a little strange.

After a period of contact, he found that Daiyu was not kind to him, and seemed to be a little distant. Normally, she would be polite and considerate after seeing him, but the more she was like this, the more he felt the alienation. meaning.

On the contrary, the two sisters Tanchun and Yingchun were closer to him, and even Baochai and Baoqin would not make him feel that alienated.

"By the way, can Sister Baoqin leave?"

Perhaps thinking of something, Jia Baoyu asked the maids behind him.

"Not yet. Miss Baoqin is temporarily living with Miss Bao. The second master of the Xue family has bought a yard nearby. I heard that he will live in the capital for a while."

These maids like to inquire about these gossips, especially those that Jia Baoyu is interested in, and they are paying attention to them all the time.

"And sister Xichun, is she feeling better over there?"

For some reason, he was still a little frightened when he mentioned this sister.

The attacker shook his head.

"I didn't see him show up. He still closed the door. Miss Lin went there again in the morning. Miss Bao also wanted to visit, but she was stopped by Miss Lu Yi."

Just then, a boy ran in panting.

He shouted in a panic: "Second Master Bao, it's not good, Uncle Xue Pan has been beaten."
