Honglou: This bastard is too persuasive.

Chapter 173 Sister Jia Baoyulin, Jia Qi became a monk (2.5)

What else could Jia Jing say? Looking at the aggrieved and stubborn look on this kid's face, if he dared to say that he didn't trust him, he would probably cry now.

Jia Jing really doesn't understand. How can there be such people in the world who listen to advice?

Well, he had already asked someone to investigate before, and he knew that this kid was very obedient.

The servant advised him to gamble, but he listened.

His aunt advised him not to gamble, so he stopped gambling.

He listened to whatever his son said.

He even found high-yield food and became a viscount just because he listened to the old lady's advice.

I clearly know that he is very obedient, why don't I believe it?

Now it seems that all the planning and thinking I have done are completely unnecessary.

If you want this kid to practice Taoism with you, you don't have to work hard at all. You can just find a reason and just tell him.

"Okay, okay, I believe you are."

"I know you will give everything for our Jia family."

"I also know that you are only doing your best for the Jia family."

"Since you agree, then when you have time later, you can follow me to Zhenwu Temple, select a few Taoist scriptures, and study them carefully when you come back."

"I know that you are now responsible for His Majesty the Emperor's new grain planting research. The Emperor has already decreed this, and you have to do it. Otherwise, it will be disrespectful and disobedient."

"But you have to remember, when everything is successful, or there are other achievements, no matter how much His Majesty asks you to be promoted, you should not agree unless His Majesty gives you an imperial edict."

"Whenever you have free time, go to my place and sit down. We will study together how to practice Taoism. You must also let others know that you are also obsessed with Taoism now."

The reason why Jia Jing asked him to practice Taoism was actually very simple.

What is Qin Keqing's identity? He knew it, and since His Majesty the Emperor had seen it, he should already know it.

As the living daughter of the late emperor, she should have been the princess of the Zhou Empire.

But now she is married to this boy.

And since she is the late emperor's princess, there will definitely be people from the late emperor's line paying attention to her.

If more people know about it, and some people even defect to the princess, and Jia Qi behaves better at this time, some people may have some bad ideas.

Jia Jing was afraid. Wasn't the reason why he became a monk and practiced Taoism just because he made the wrong choice?
  In addition to him, there was also Jia She. They all chose the wrong candidates and ended up where they were now.

Therefore, he was afraid that the Jia family would be involved in the struggle for imperial power again.

In these years, he became a monk and practiced Taoism, staying away from government affairs and disputes.

It can be regarded as restoring peace to the Jia family.

but.

Jia Qi's sudden knighthood may drag the Jia family into the whirlpool again.

This is definitely not what he wants.

That's why he found so many reasons to let this kid practice Taoism with him, to keep him away from the court, and to keep him away from disputes.

In this way, we can avoid being involved in the struggle for imperial power.

That's a good intention.

It's just that maybe he doesn't even know it. He gave himself this reason just to make himself feel better.

No one really knows what he really thinks.

Even Jia Qi could only know through systematic judgment that this old guy was deeply malicious towards him.

but it does not matter.

The more malicious someone is, the better he is as a tool.

"I know what to do, Uncle Jing. Speaking of which, I am also somewhat interested in the practice of Taoism, but I have never had the opportunity to get started."

"Since Uncle Jing is going to show me how to get started, I would like to thank you in advance."

"I heard that there are many monastic books and monastic items in this martial arts temple. If possible, I would like to follow my uncle to take a look as soon as possible. I don't know if it is possible."

Jia Jing was a little shocked.

He just didn't expect that he would actually cultivate Taoism after he asked him to cultivate.

And he was so positive that he even offered to see Taoist books and Taoist items.

Is it possible that this kid really listened to the advice like this and could really study Taoism with all his heart and stay away from the court just because of his words?
  If that's the case, that's not bad.

Jia Jing suddenly showed a kind smile and said.

"Since you have this intention, it's no problem. After the things here are settled in a few days, I will take you to Zhenwu Temple."

As a result, Jia Qi shook his head as soon as he finished speaking.

"Why wait a few days? Uncle, you also said that if you practice Taoism, you have a chance to become an immortal and make the decision. So if I practice and study earlier, won't I be able to do it earlier?"

"Time waits for no one, I don't think it's better than this. Uncle, you can go back to the Zhenwu Temple with me today, or now, and pick out some introductory books and items for me to learn Taoism, and then we'll come back."

Jia Jing was a little confused at this time.

This kid is too anxious.

He just gave me a simple advice, but he was so obedient.

"There's no need to be so anxious. It's only going to be a matter of a few days anyway."

Jia Qi shook his head, "How can you not be in a hurry? The sooner you do anything, the better. Since I have the opportunity to practice Taoism, how can I miss these few days? Please work hard, uncle, and come back to Zhenwu Temple with me. .”

Jia Jing had just come down from the mountain and wanted to take advantage of this time to find a reason to enjoy himself at home.

So he really didn't want to leave.

But this kid is so positive, I can't dispel his enthusiasm.

It would be best if this kid could really give up everything else just because of his spiritual practice.

Anyway, after practicing Taoism for so many years, I have come to understand that the journey of cultivating Taoism is very difficult. As I am older, internal cultivation is impossible, and external alchemy is even more difficult.

This kid is not young anymore, and it is basically impossible for him to succeed in cultivation.

Since he had the opportunity to focus all his energy on cultivating Taoism and refining alchemy, how could he give up this opportunity?

Isn’t it just to enjoy less and work harder?

Isn't this exactly the result you want to achieve? Just be tired if you are tired.

After understanding, he stood up directly and said.

"It's rare that you have such a heart. Since you are so persistent, I will accompany you. Let's go to the Zhenwu Temple. I will find you some books on cultivation. You can go back and practice hard."

"Thank you, Uncle Jing. Let's set off now."

"Okay, let's go."

The two of them no longer hesitated, left Ningguo Mansion together, and then took a carriage to Zhenwu Temple outside the city.

And their side just left.

Jia Zhen in the room received the news.

"Master persuaded that boy to practice Taoism with him? Hahahahaha, good, good, good, worthy of being my biological father, I just said that if he sees me like this, there is no way he will ignore me."

"This is because that kid has tricked me so badly. I want him to focus on practicing Taoism and stay away from the court. This is really good."

"Where is Raiji? Where did Raiji call me?"

After a while, someone called Laiji over.

It's still difficult for Raiji to walk now, but he is very respectful.

Jia Zhen is feeling very uncomfortable now and has no time to care about Laiji's physical condition.

He couldn't wait to say it after seeing Laiji.

"Laiji, I remember that I collected a lot of books and secrets related to Buddhism for me before, especially some of them that required abstinence or not to be sexually involved with women. When I gave them to you, I didn't want them. You can give them to me now. I’ll find them all.”

"Since that kid wants to practice Taoism with his grandpa, let's help him. When he comes back, you can give him these secret books and say that I prepared them specially to support his cultivation."

"Even if he marries Qin Keqing, I will let him see it but not touch it."

"Go find all those books now, and take out all the other books related to monasticism and let him choose by himself."

Laiji agreed, bowed respectfully and left. .

But at this time, Jia Zhen stretched out her only good hand, stopped him and said.

"and many more."

"Master, do you have any other instructions?"

"Jia Qi actually followed my father to practice Taoism. Then help him spread the word. After you prepare the things, tell the people in Rongguo Mansion the news, and then let the Jia family and people in Ningrong Street Everyone around will know the news, and if they know it, it won’t be long before everyone in the capital will know that the viscount His Majesty just made has gone to practice Taoism. It’s really interesting to think about it.”

"Please rest assured, sir, it won't take long before everyone in Rongning Street will know about it."

After Laiji respectfully agreed, he left only when Jia Zhen had no other instructions.

Because Jia Jing practiced Taoism before, many things related to Taoism were indeed prepared in Ningguo Mansion.

But everything is exactly as Jia Zhen said, Jia Jing simply doesn't want those secret books on Taoism that require not being close to women.

Once these things are bought, it is not that easy to sell them, so they have always been piled in the warehouse. After Laiji asked someone to open the warehouse, it took him a while to find everything.

After getting everything ready, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he returned to Lai's house.

It happened that Lai Da was recuperating at home at this time, so he told Lai Da about all this.

"This is all a small matter, isn't it just to let everyone in Ningrong Street and Rongguo Mansion know the news? Leave it to me, it won't take long to complete."

For Lai Da, this is indeed a very simple thing.

Because all the servants in Rongguo Mansion are under his control, and his wife is also in Rongguo Mansion, plus there are many people leaving their house, he only needs to give an order, and it doesn't take long before word spreads about Jia Qi in Rongguo Mansion. Follow Jia Jing to practice Taoism.

In the Rongqing Hall of Rongguo Mansion.

Too many things happened today.

My mother had arranged for Mrs. Wang to rest in Rongqing Hall.

Not long after, news came that Baoyu was ill.

This worried my mother so much that she quickly went to look in the blue gauze cupboard.

As a result, when he arrived, Baoyu was lying on the bed with a look of despair.

"Oh, my precious Yu'er, what's wrong with you?"

When Jia Baoyu saw Jia Mu coming, he regained some of his energy and said to Jia Mu.

"Old ancestor, didn't second brother Qin become a viscount? Why does sister Lin always use her name when she talks about it?"

"Why did I go to play with my sisters? They were all asking about Jia Qi."

"Second brother Qin has obviously left the mansion on his own and is no longer a member of our Rongguo mansion. Why do my sisters always miss him?"

"I went to see Sister Lin and the others to play together, and they asked me to call Brother Qin. Why is that?"

"It was never like this before. The most Sister Lin could tell me was some moral articles. I didn't like to hear them, so I just left."

"Why doesn't he talk to me about moral issues now? Instead, he opened his mouth and asked me to call Brother Qin."

"Isn't he just a viscount? Is that so?"

Jia Mu finally understood.

It turns out that his precious Yu'er was left out in the cold by Lin Yatou.

These words did make her frown a little.

It seemed that in Baoyu's eyes, the Viscount was not taken seriously at all.

But he didn't know that there weren't many viscounts in the entire Great Zhou Empire.

As a result, he didn't take the Viscount seriously.

But if you think about it, it should be like this.

My own precious jade is of great good fortune.

How could the future be blocked by just one viscount?

Baoyu, you will become a duke and a prince in the future, isn't it right to look down on the viscount?
  Lin Yatou and the others are the same. Why do they say these things in front of Baoyu?
  Seeing Baoyu's loveless expression, the old lady suddenly loved him even more.

He quickly expressed relief.

"Baoyu, you are overthinking it. The reason why your sister and the others are so open-mouthed about not being separated from your second brother Qin is because he has just been knighted and asked Lin Yatou and the others to have a fresh idea. After a while, Once the novelty is over, it’s natural not to mention it anymore.”

"Anyway, Jia Qi has left me. It's not easy to come to Rongguo Mansion."

"But you, Sister Lin, and the others have been living in the house. You have many opportunities to meet them."

"After seeing it so much, naturally there is nothing new about it. Now that he is willing to share things that are new to you, it means that your status in his heart is very high."

Not to mention what Jia Mu said, Jia Baoyu actually felt that this was the truth in her heart.

I am with Sister Lin and the others every day, how could they have a bad relationship with me?

The relationship with him is definitely much better than that with Jia Qi.

It must be what the ancestors said, they are just trying to be fresh.

Yes, that's it.

After thinking about this, Jia Baoyu suddenly became energetic.

He even jumped out of bed directly.

But before Jia Baoyu could say anything, the sound of mandarin ducks came from outside.

"Ancestor, everyone came to see you because I have something to report to you."

In Jia Baoyu's memory, Lai's eldest daughter-in-law rarely came.

But every time it happens, things are not small.

So he suddenly had a curiosity in his heart.

Then he spoke for Jia Mu.

"Let him wait outside, the ancestor will go right away."

After he finished speaking, he grabbed Jia Mu's hand and said with a smile.

"Ancestor, let me go with you. I also want to hear what everyone Lai wants to say, now that this time has come."

"Okay, okay, Baoyu wants to hear it, let's go out together and listen to what he has to say?"

As long as Jia Baoyu regained his energy, nothing else mattered.

If everyone can bring some good news and make Baoyu happy, that's not bad.

So Jia Mu agreed without hesitation and let Baoyu go out with her.

After the two of them went out, everyone said quickly.

"Ancestor, I have some news that I want to report to you."

"Oh? What's the matter?"

Mother Jia had some expectations in her heart and asked quickly.

Lai said respectfully from everyone.

"That's right. News just came from Ningguo Mansion that Master Jing is back, and not long after he came back, he called Brother Qin."

"Then not long after, the two of them headed towards the Zhenwu Temple outside the city together. I heard news came from Ningguo Mansion, saying that Mr. Jing was going to take Brother Chen to practice Taoism together."

As soon as he finished saying this, a smile appeared on Jia Mu's lips unconsciously.

Everything developed exactly as he imagined.

Brother Jing was indeed back, and he even took the boy to the Zhenwu Temple. Regardless of whether he really went to practice Taoism or not, since he had brought him, he would definitely recommend the boy to the Supreme Emperor's prayer list.

Presumably the Supreme Emperor would never let him go when he saw the Jia family who had defected to the new emperor, right?

At that time, I am afraid that his title will not be preserved.

As long as the Supreme Emperor has his heart, any excuse can make him irrecoverable.

And just when Jia's mother was happy, Jia Baoyu had already jumped for joy.

"Lai, are you telling the truth? Jia Qi really went to practice Taoism with Uncle Jing. Wasn't he just made a viscount? Why did he go to practice Taoism?"

Although everyone Lai didn't understand why Jiabao was so happy, he followed his words.

"I have asked many people and confirmed it. It is true. Mr. Chen did go to the Zhenwu Temple to practice Taoism with Mr. Jingda."

"Ancestor, I have to hurry up and tell Sister Lin the news. You guys can chat slowly."

After saying that, Jia Baoyu ran out in a hurry.

Seeing Jia Baoyu look so lively and bright again, Jia's mother smiled even more kindly.

really.

That boy should be Baoyu's foil.

Only when that boy has a bad life can Baoyu live a better life.

Only when the boy goes to accompany Baoyu can Baoyu stand out more.

What I did was right. Only when that boy loses his title can more people pay attention to my treasure.

Baoyu has great fortune, and it will definitely bring greater glory and glory to the Jia family in the future.

And now that Baoyu is not too young, maybe he can think of another way to let Baoyu get the boy's title.

If possible, wouldn't Baoyu save a lot of time and go higher and further in the future?
  While Jia Mu was planning, Jia Baoyu had also arrived at Lixiangyuan in a hurry.

At this time, Sanchun was playing with Lin Daiyu in Lin Daiyu's yard.

As a result, Jia Baoyu ran in furiously.

They immediately stopped their playful movements and looked at him with frowns.

Jia Baoyu didn't feel the discomfort of the four people at all, but said very happily.

"Sister Lin, you don't know yet, right? Brother Qin went to practice Taoism with Master Jing."
