Chapter 31 Jia Baoyu's Explanation

Jia Baoyu waited for about a quarter of an hour before Jia Zheng came back. Jia Baoyu knew that Jia Zheng must have talked a lot with Xue Baochai during this period, but he didn't care. Jia Baoyu also summed up what he wanted to say during this time.

Sitting at the desk, Jia Zheng said, "Now we can talk, Baoyu."

Jia Baoyu nodded and then said: "Baoyu fainted a few days ago, I don't know if the master knows."

Jia Zheng frowned slightly and said, "Did you faint? What's the reason?" It was obvious that Jia Zheng didn't know.

"This Baoyu didn't know either, but Baoyu had a dream after fainting."

"What kind of dream?" Jia Zheng knew that dream was the key, so he asked immediately.

"A very long dream. In the dream, Baoyu spent her own life, and also spent the life of Jia's family."

"Why?" Jia Zheng asked again.

"Baoyu is still the current Baoyu in the dream. He likes to adjust fat and make powder, loves poetry and songs, hates the Four Books and Five Classics, and has achieved it all his life. However, Jia's family fell into poverty because of internal and external troubles. In the end, Baoyu died of poverty. It is also because people can be revitalized and then declined." Jia Baoyu wanted to say a lot, but finally decided to simply say it.

Jia Zheng was startled when he heard Jia Baoyu's dream. Jia Zheng knew that there were internal troubles in Jia's mansion, but Jia Zheng didn't think that small problems would make Jia's mansion decline, so he didn't care too much. Thinking night and dreaming, in Jia Zheng's view, Jia Baoyu would never have such thoughts, let alone thinking that Jia's mansion will decline.

These thoughts were only for a moment, and Jia Zheng then asked: "What are you worrying about, and why are you declining?"

"How did these Baoyu know that Baoyu only knew how to play at that time. When he realized that Jia's mansion had declined, the deepest experience was the hardships he experienced later. After Baoyu woke up, he decided to change and no longer be that dandy." Jia Baoyu originally planned to tell Jia Zheng some things that might happen in the future, but when Jia Zheng went out before, he thought that Jia Zheng had always been pedantic, and he really didn't know whether it was good or bad if he said too much, so he simply didn't said.

Jia Zheng heard Jia Baoyu's words and said in a low voice: "Is that so?" Then he fell into deep thought. Jia Baoyu knew that Jia Zheng was thinking about the accuracy and possibility of what he said, so he didn't bother him. He opened the mouth and said: "That's fine. When you were a child, you were born with jade and everyone thought you were destined to be a fairy, but now you are addicted to makeup. The old lady loves you and spoils you. I can't really fulfill my role as a father." I also gradually gave up on you, and now you can wake up from a dream, it must be the spirit of the ancestor of our Rongguo Mansion, Duke Rong, who has appeared in this world, and I hope you can be like this in the future."

Jia Baoyu nodded in agreement, and Jia Zheng then said: "Although I have always been strict, I am not a person who does not know how to adapt. Nothing can be accomplished overnight, and I don't expect you to achieve something immediately. Get rid of the bad habits of the past. , I just hope you will remember what you remember in your dream, remember your oath yesterday, and study hard, if you can do this, I will be very satisfied."

Jia Baoyu listened to Jia Zheng's concern, and there was a trace of warmth in his heart. He said yes again, and Jia Zheng said again: "As for the things you dream about in your dreams, you need to worry too much. Centipedes are dead but not stiff. I, Jia's mansion, don't care. It’s not so easy to fall, you just need to study hard, communicate with people more in your spare time, make some friends, and prepare for your future, don’t be too attached to the makeup.”

"Now that you are still young, when you are a few years older and take part in the imperial examination, you will be able to stand on your own after you have achieved fame. My Jia family is different from ordinary people. The old ladies and wives are also reluctant to part with you. It is impossible to move out of Jia's house." , but then you can act cheaply, and I won't restrict you too much."

After hearing Jia Zheng's words, Jia Baoyu knew that Jia Zheng still didn't have too many worries. He was still very confident about the situation of Jia's mansion and couldn't help feeling a little regretful. No problem, but Jia Baoyu knew that he couldn't talk anymore, and if he said too much, he would be wrong, and it might backfire.

As for some things that Jia Zheng asked him to do, Jia Baoyu had already prepared for it, and he could not inherit the title. If he took power, he would have to pass the imperial examination. I don't dare to think about it, but it is very possible for someone to become a Jinshi, and it will be good to use the influence of Jia's family at that time, at least to be able to protect themselves first.

Thinking of these, Jia Baoyu responded again, and then said: "If there is nothing to do, Baoyu will go back first. If I stay for a long time, my ancestors may be worried."

Jia Zheng heard Jia Baoyu's words and said: "No", but then changed his words: "I almost forgot, there is one more thing?"

"My lord, please let me know."

Jia Zheng said, "Have you read the test questions I gave you yesterday?"

"Looked."

"Is there a solution?"

Jia Baoyu shook his head and said: "I have some thoughts, but I don't know the language, so I don't know how to start."

Jia Zheng nodded and said, "That's right, I was anxious yesterday but I forgot that you don't know how to write and make art at all."

"I asked Sister Lin for some advice yesterday, and I borrowed a manuscript of Wang Shouxi from her. I plan to study it a bit before solving the problem." Jia Baoyu said.

Jia Zheng was slightly surprised when he heard this, and said: "Wang Shouxi's manuscript, it's pretty good, but the writing is unusual, and you can't understand it without studying it yourself. It just so happens that your teacher died of illness a few years ago, and I'm old and busy with business. This time I won’t be able to stay at home for a few days. I can only discuss the extension of your teacher in the future. The basics are the most important. You should go to review the old lessons in your spare time. You can only do this after you have thoroughly understood the Four Books and Five Classics. You can put your questions aside, and just focus on the Four Books and Five Classics in the past few months."

"If you can't concentrate, then go to the private school at home. I'll tell you in advance that if you want to go, ask someone to deliver a letter and let him go where you want to go."

Jia Baoyu nodded in agreement, and Jia Zheng said again: "Don't let me down, you will still have to take the school test after you are lazy, and I will test you in three months, you must be proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics, otherwise I will not spare you. "

"Baoyu knows, and he will definitely not disappoint his father." Jia Baoyu said solemnly.

Jia Zheng nodded in satisfaction, and then looked at the time. The father and son clearly said that the time was not long, but half an hour passed. This is the longest time that father and son have been together since Jia Baoyu became sensible. Zheng immediately said: "Okay, if we continue talking, the old lady may come here in person, so go back!"

Jia Baoyu responded and was about to leave when he heard the noise outside, "What are you going to do? I'll take Huan'er to hand in my homework to the master, how dare you stop me?"

Jia Zheng and Jia Baoyu frowned when they heard this voice. Needless to say, the person who came was Aunt Zhao. After hearing that Jia Baoyu had gone to Jia Zheng's study, Aunt Zhao rushed over with Jia Huan non-stop. He didn't go in hastily, because he was afraid that Jia Baoyu would go in with his front foot and he would follow up with his back foot, causing people to be suspicious, so he simply decided to wait for Jia Baoyu to come out before going in, and stopped Jia Baoyu at the same time so that Jia Baoyu would not leave.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for half an hour, Jia Baoyu did not come out. Aunt Zhao was impatient and didn't wait anymore, she rushed in with Jia Huan directly. Wang Gui couldn't let Aunt Zhao mother and child without Jia Zheng's order. She went in, but she didn't dare to stop her too much, Aunt Zhao took Jia Huan directly to the inner gate, only to be stopped by the servant guarding the inner gate.

Wang Gui is not good at stopping Aunt Zhao from guarding the inner gate, but he is not afraid. He has always only listened to Jia Zheng's words, and of course he doesn't buy anything from Aunt Zhao. Go report."

Hearing this voice, Jia Baoyu was not the same boy as before, he was puzzled for a moment, then the boy walked in, Jia Zheng said let them in without waiting for him to speak!

The boy wanted to leave after hearing this.But Jia Baoyu stopped him, and the servant turned around and said, "Does Second Master Bao have any orders?"

Jia Zheng also looked at Jia Baoyu, wondering why Jia Baoyu called the servant, Jia Baoyu said, "What's your name, why didn't you guard the gate just now?"

After hearing this, the young man replied: "The villain's name is Li Er. He went out to pay respects before, and it was Wang San who was waiting just now."

Jia Baoyu nodded and said, "I see." Then Li Er went down. Jia Zheng was puzzled, so Jia Baoyu briefly talked about what had happened before.

As soon as Aunt Zhao came in, she said: "Master, the servants are getting more and more unruly now. I want to bring Huan'er to visit the master, but I still want to stop him."

After hearing this, Jia Zheng frowned and said, "That's what I ordered. You should behave yourself in the future. Why are you making a lot of noise? Why do you come to me?" Before my aunt became a concubine, Aunt Zhao was a dutiful and sensible person. Who knew that these years had become more and more unseemly, which made Jia Zheng regret it. As for Jia Huan, Jia Zheng couldn't like it no matter what. Good-looking is still very successful in poetry and poetry, but Jia Huan is a real success.

After hearing this, Aunt Zhao said: "The master can't forget it. Didn't you leave homework for Baoyu and Huan'er yesterday? Huan'er handed in the homework on purpose today."

After Jia Zheng heard this, he remembered that Jia Huan was asked to do it yesterday, but he thought in his heart that he forgot to tell Jia Huan about the postponement of the school exam. Wanting to see if Jia Huan had made progress, he asked, "Is it done?"

Jia Huan was still extremely afraid of Jia Zheng. Ever since he came in, he had been hiding behind Aunt Zhao and dared not speak. After listening to Jia Zheng's words, he showed his head and said reassuringly, "It's done."
