My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 105 Jia Yu teaches Baoyu

Psychic gem
Although he couldn't stand it, it was not his turn to talk about this kind of thing.

But when Jia Yu turned to look at Jia Zheng, who was trembling with anger, he still spoke for fear that the cheap old Taishan would get angry.

"Baoyu... Logically speaking, it's not my turn to speak on this matter today, but seeing this situation, some words are really stuck in my throat and I can't say them out."

Jia Yu's opening didn't matter, all eyes turned to him.

Ignoring everyone's gaze, Jia Yu walked to Jia's mother and said, "Old lady, is this the psychic jade that is rumored to be so magical in Jia's house? Can you show it to the younger generation?"

Jia Mu was startled, sighed softly, and handed him the jade pendant.

Jia Yu took the jade pendant and looked at it. It was indeed very beautiful. The whole piece of jade pendant was as big as a sparrow egg, as bright as a bright cloud, as smooth as a crisp, and there were five-color patterns twining around it.

On the front, it is written in seal script: Psychic gem, don't lose it, don't forget it, immortality will last forever. On the back, it says one to get rid of evil spirits, two to cure unjust diseases, and three to know misfortunes and blessings.

After reading it, Jia Yu smiled slightly, returned the jade pendant to Baoyu, and then asked casually: "Baoyu, can you tell me why you threw the jade?"

Facing Jia Yu's inquiry, Baoyu was obviously a little uneasy.

If it had been before, he might have been able to ignore it.

But after today's acceptance, no one can change the fact that Jia Yu has become his brother-in-law, not even if the entire Jia family objects.

Coupled with the almost cannibalistic gaze of his father, he lowered his head after a moment and said:
"There's no reason. I'm just very irritated by my sister who always urges me to study, so I lost my temper. I was so angry that I threw this piece of jade."

"You evildoer!" When Jia Zheng heard this, he became angry again. He was about to curse, but was glared back by Jia's mother.

"So in your eyes, this piece of jade is not important at all. You can throw it away if you want, is that right?" Jia Yu suddenly asked.

"No...actually...actually I quite like this piece of jade, but...just..." Baoyu couldn't say any more.

"You don't need to say anything, I understand." Jia Yu interrupted him.

Now Jia Yu finally understands that Baoyu is like a spoiled child. Breaking the jade is not the purpose, but a means he uses to attract others' attention.

His eyes gradually became sharp, and his expression gradually became serious.

"Baoyu, are you sixteen this year?"

"I'm seventeen years old." Someone from the side interrupted.

"Sixteen years old...isn't too young."

Jia Yu sighed softly, "When I was 16 years old, both my parents died. At that time, I was so poor in Jinling that I could hardly afford to eat, and I was doing nothing all day long despite being a scholar.

Finally gritting his teeth, he sold the only house left by his parents and came to Shenjing from Jinling alone.

From Jinling to Shenjing...it's more than 2000 miles.

I remember it was last winter, and the snow on the road was almost up to my knees. It took me three or four months of walking to reach Shenjing.

When I arrived in Shenjing, I had less than one tael of silver left with me, but I was not sad at the time, but rather excited.

At that time, I dreamed that as long as I got to Shenjing and found the Rongguo Mansion, I wanted to ask to see Butler Lai. Maybe he could arrange a job for me, Mr. Jia, for the sake of a distant relative.

Even working as a groom or a shop assistant was fine. At that time, my requirements were really not high, as long as I could have food to eat and survive.

But I was still too naive. "At this point, Jia Yu's tone became extremely slow.

"I remember that the gatekeepers looked at me as if they were a beggar who appeared out of nowhere. No matter how much I begged, they were indifferent.

In desperation, I argued with them for a few words, but unexpectedly I ended up getting killed.

Do you still remember the disciple named Yu Er who was killed by me a few days ago?

He was the one who took the lead in beating me. I was tired and hungry at the time and had no strength to fight back, so I was immediately hit here by Yu Eryi with a stick. "

Jia Yu pointed to the back of his head with a wry smile on his face.

When Jia Yu spoke, there was silence in the hall, and everyone was looking at the young man.

Some showed pity on their faces, some were deep in thought, and some were silent. The sensitive girls like Daiyu and Yingchun had already carved a picture in their minds.

In the heavy snowfall, a young man who was hungry and cold, shivering in single clothes and wearing single clothes, begged the disciples of the Rongguo Mansion to see their steward, in order to get him a job as a relative of the Jia Mansion. To make a living, even giving him a few steamed buns would be good.

But even such a humble request was rejected by those disciples with their nostrils turned upward.

Daiyu is the most sensitive person, her eyes have started to turn red, and big tears have started to fall down.

"It was this one stick that almost killed me."

Jia Yu put his hands down from the back of his head, "Maybe they were also afraid of causing trouble, so they discussed it for a while and threw him into an alley in Nancheng.

There happened to be an inn there. I struggled to find a room with the innkeeper, and then fell asleep.

I slept for three days at a time and had no money to hire a doctor to give me medicine, so I had to fight alone and almost didn't make it through.

Fortunately, I was lucky and survived in the end.

However, in the end, I was kicked out by the innkeeper because I had no money.

I used my last two cents to buy a steamed bun that didn't even eat pigs. After eating it, I told myself that I could never do this again.

I believe everyone knows what happened later. I killed a few green men who made trouble for me and was imprisoned by Shuntian Prefecture. Although I was released later, my reputation as a scholar was also revoked.

In the end, Meng Fengshibo refused to give up and recruited me into the forward selection camp. After several hard work and hard work, I became what I am today. "

"Baoyu, the reason why I said so much today is not to show off to you or anyone else, but to tell you something.

The reason why you can wantonly take this piece of jade pendant worth thousands of gold and throw it to the ground today is not because you are very capable, but because everything you enjoy today is based on your ancestors overcoming obstacles and following Taizu Taizong to sacrifice their lives. It was earned by forgetting death.

From your point of view, everything you have now is taken for granted.

But don't forget, a gentleman will be killed in five lifetimes. "

It's like although your ancestors left a large sum of money in the bank for their descendants, if the descendants don't know how to save money in it, they only know how to squander it.

Once the remaining talent left by the ancestors is exhausted, the consequences waiting for the descendants will be extremely terrible and even tragic.

If you don’t believe it, you can take the time to go to the Jiaofang Division and see who are there? "
