Jia Baoyu from the Red Chamber

.

spnChapter 98 had a good time talking

Jia Baoyu figured out the relationship and couldn't help but angrily said: "What are you? Who made you interrupt, why don't you get out of here."

The woman still didn't know it, and said stiffly: "Second Master, this is something that the old lady and the wife told me, but I didn't do it on my own. If I don't do it, the old lady and the wife will blame me."

Jia Baoyu was even more angry when he heard that the woman still wanted to use Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang to oppress him, "The old lady and the lady complained about what you have to do with me. If you are afraid of complaining, it's easy to say. I will go back to the old lady when I go back." Wife, madam said that you are high-minded and afraid of being blamed, so we can't accept you in our house, how good is that?"

The woman wanted to be tough at first, but when she heard Jia Baoyu's words, she knelt down and said, "Second Lord, calm down, I overstepped, please don't kick me out, our family has been in the mansion for generations. , if I go, I won’t be able to live!” [

Jia Baoyu naturally knew this truth, and he didn't have the intention of pushing people away. Seeing that the woman gave in, it was fine, so he said: "Apologize to the two uncles. If they forgive you, I will not pursue it."

After hearing this, the old woman asked Li Shouzhong and Li Shouyi for forgiveness. They knew that the servants of Jia's mansion had been expelled. I have long been used to such things, so it's fine to see this woman begging for mercy.

The woman was dismissed by Jia Baoyu, and Jia Baoyu apologized to Li Shouzhong and Li Shouyi again, and then sat down again. At this time, Li Shouzhong thought Jia Baoyu was very pleasing to the eye.

Li Shouzhong didn't like the people in Jia's house if he insisted on it. Li Shouzhong didn't like Li Wan and Jia Zhu's marriage at the beginning. , for the yearning for power, with the help of his wife and because Jia Zhu is really a good person, he agreed.

Because of Jia's house, Li Shouzhong's unhappiness was less because of the rise of the tide. People like Jia's house looked down on such a small family like himself. Li Shouzhong also knew it well, so he never went to Jia's house if necessary.

After Jia Zhu's death, Li Wan was pregnant with Jia Lan, but a 15-year-old girl was going to be widowed for nine years. Li Wan was from 15 to 24 years old. Li Wan was the only daughter of Li Shouzhong. He wanted to bring Li Wan back, but was forcibly stopped by Li Shouzhong.

The Jia family was dazzled by his love for his daughter, but Li Shouzhong couldn't. He knew clearly that it was impossible for a family like the Jia family to let Li Wan come back, let alone remarry, even if they met Li Wan every year. A large number of maids, wives, and servants followed, and it was clear to everyone what they were guarding against.

People in Jia's house looked down on the Li family from top to bottom, so although Li Shouzhong hated the Jia family, he had a good impression of him. Today, knowing that Jia Baoyu was coming, he deliberately refused to welcome Jia Baoyu. Unexpectedly, Jia Baoyu was extremely modest. It turned out that just now he reprimanded Na Li's mother-in-law again.

In this way, Li Shouzhong's impression of Jia Baoyu is obviously better, and his words are also intimate from the inside. He first asked about Jia Baoyu's studies, and Jia Baoyu replied truthfully, saying that the Four Books have been thoroughly understood, and the Five Classics The Book of Songs and the Spring and Autumn Annals in the book are also good, and made the Spring and Autumn Annals into the classics, and said that they can do some simple stereotypes.

Li Shouzhong does not believe that Jia Baoyu has learned so much. At such an age, this kind of knowledge is considered to be superior in those ordinary families. Li Shouzhong would believe it, but Li Shouzhong didn't believe that a family like Jia's would produce a person who studied extremely hard.

Therefore, Li Shouzhong deliberately asked some questions, and Jia Baoyu answered them one by one. The more thoughtful the questions, the more in-depth the questions that were originally simple, and Jia Baoyu answered them one by one.

Li Shouyi is also a scholar. The questions Li Shouzhong asked at the beginning were okay, but at the end Li Shouyi couldn't answer them himself. Jia Baoyu didn't look bored, and Li Shouyi also wanted to see how Jia Baoyu's knowledge was, so he turned a blind eye.

This question was asked for half an hour, until Li Wan and Jia Shi over there stabilized their emotions, and they spoke again, but they saw that Jia Baoyu went to see Li Shouzhong and hadn't come back, so the two came together to check what was going on. Finish.

Jia Baoyu hurriedly stopped Li Shouzhong when she saw that Li Shouzhong was taking the school exam, and said with some blame: "Master, you have to pay homage to the grandfather in a while, you are not forgetting yourself."

Li Shouzhong was really upset that his head was interrupted, but he also knew that he had really lost his mind. This was because Li Shouzhong hadn't seen Jia Baoyu for a long time as the sacrificial wine of the Imperial Academy in the capital. Time asked Jia Baoyu as an ordinary prison student. Of course, the so-called talents that can be made are not knowledge, but some new ideas from time to time, otherwise Jia Baoyu's level is only average.

"Nephew, don't blame me, the old man has lost his mind." Li Shouzhong said to Jia Baoyu with a correct expression.

After hearing this, Jia Baoyu bowed quickly and said, "Where, Baoyu has benefited a lot."

Li Shouzhong laughed out loud when he heard it. Jia Shi and Li Wan didn't know what was going on. Jia Baoyu's words were indeed not empty words. He couldn't stand it anymore, but when Li Shouzhong saw that Jia Baoyu was showing signs of weakness, he would finish his sentence and put on a new one, so Jia Baoyu could keep talking to Li Shouzhong for such a long time.

The question and answer for half an hour made Jia Baoyu realize that he was really ignorant, and at the same time he did learn a lot. With the ability of never forgetting, it is equivalent to Li Shouzhong instilling in Jia Baoyu half an hour. The general knowledge is what Jia Baoyu doesn't know, which is more effective than Jia Baoyu's own learning for a week. [

Therefore, Jia Baoyu was full of expectations for the Guozijian. There were at least a dozen people in the Guozijian who were as educated as Li Shouzhong, and some were even better. Thinking of this, Jia Baoyu was full of confidence in the next year's provincial examination.

Li Wan came back on the pretext of the anniversary of his grandfather's death, but in fact these have nothing to do with Li Wan, they are all done by the men in the family, besides, the ancestral grave of the Li family is not here, but thousands of miles away. In Jinling outside, this worship was just a worship in his own ancestral hall, and it was done early in the morning. Li Wan just came back to visit his parents.

It wasn't too early for the group of people to set off, and it took a little longer on the road, and because of Li Shouzhong and Jia Baoyu's questions and answers, it was almost noon.

There are not many people in the Li family, they are Li Shouzhong and Li Shouyi in total, and the two parties are actually the same male. Li Shouzhong only has one daughter, Li Wan, but Li Shou's family is better with two. Daughters, the eldest is named Li Wen, the younger is named Li Qi, one is fourteen, and the other is the same age as Jia Baoyu, twelve this year.

It seems that there are some successors, but because Li Shouyi and his wife Li Shi are still young, they don't need to go to the Yangshengtang for adoption, but the family members have counted. If there are still no males in the family in two or three years Either Li Shouyi took a concubine, or adopted one.

After leaving the yard, Jia Baoyu looked at the sky and sighed that it was indeed summer, and it was so unusual. When Jia Baoyu came in, the sky was still sunny, but now it was covered with dark clouds. It didn't seem like it was almost noon. It was just like Xu Shi, but Jia Baoyu knew that the summer sky was overcast and the rain would come and go very quickly, so he didn't care.

Jia Baoyu was taken by Jia Shi, Li Wan, and Li Shi to the backyard, and met the female relatives in the mansion. Only then did Jia Baoyu know that Li Shouzhong had another concubine, but it was the same as Jia Zheng's Aunt Zhou. That's all.

As for Li Shouyi, he didn't take a concubine, but he didn't know if it was because of his specificity or fear of guilt, but it was all related to Jia Baoyu.

Li Wan's two cousins ​​are also very beautiful. Jia Baoyu is not just an illusion or something, but he feels that the two of them are giving him secret glances frequently. However, there are so many sisters in Jia Baoyu's family who don't know how to arrange them. Thinking about the thoughts of being promiscuous outside, Jia Baoyu couldn't help but think that his xinxing is really high!

Over there, Mrs. Li had been watching Jia Baoyu's expression, seeing that Jia Baoyu was just talking to Li Wen and Li Qi in a polite way, she couldn't help showing a regretful expression.

Since Mrs. Li heard yesterday that Jia Baoyu is coming today, she has made up her mind to see if Jia Baoyu can take a fancy to her two daughters, so she specially dressed up Li Wen and Li Qi early in the morning. .

This Mrs. Li did not tell her two daughters, because that would be unnatural, but it is a pity that Mrs. Li saw that it was her own daughter who wanted to invite Jia Baoyu, and at the same time she felt regretful and at the same time lost her desire to climb high.

How did Jia Baoyu know so many things, and after talking with someone here, someone in front of him passed on that lunch was ready for Jia Baoyu and Li Wan to eat.

Jia Baoyu and these women had nothing to say, so they were very happy to hear this, so they went with Li Wan and the others.

The Li family is different from the Jia family. Although Li Shouzhong is strict but also frugal, it is impossible for several people to sit at one table and prepare two meals like the Jia family. Therefore, everyone gathers together, and Jia Baoyu is so happy, not to mention He didn't pay much attention to these things, he sat down under Li Shouzhong, and Li Wan was under Jia Baoyu. Jia Baoyu felt that it was not in compliance with the rules but knew how to do as the Romans did, so he didn't say much.
