Chapter 15 Jia Baoyu cannot be helped

 When Tanchun returned to the backyard, he happened to see Jia Baoyu sitting in Xichun's yard.

"What do you mean you are so happy?"

Xichun has a cold temperament and a cold mouth.

"Brother Bao made the master angry and drove away."

Jia Baoyu was so angry that Leng Zixing left. There happened to be no one to teach him.

He can go play among his sisters.

"What a coincidence. I heard some things from my ancestors." Tan Chun thought this was a good thing.

So he told Jia Baoyu about Chongming Academy.

Jia Baoyu was immediately unhappy, "Only those few books are worth reading."

"It is much more comfortable to sit in my sisters' boudoir than to read those vulgar things."

Tanchun, who has long been familiar with the world, feels that he still needs to study and pass the Jinshi examination.

People who pass the Jinshi examination are so glorious, and they can still become officials.

"How good Chongming Academy is, even women like us in the inner house have heard about it..."

Jia Baoyu stood up and looked at Tanchun coldly, "You are so vulgar, how could you imitate those men?

What are you going to do at the academy? If you like nephew Rong, you can just move there."

Tanchun's eyes immediately turned red when Baoyu said this.

The poor little man said with tears in his eyes: "My mother is here and you are here, why should I live in someone else's house?"

"If you don't like hearing this, I'll just leave it alone in the future. Why are you inserting a knife into my heart?"

Jia Xichun on the side felt even colder after hearing this.

What does this mean?

This is an insinuation that something is wrong with her.

Ningguo Mansion is someone else’s house.

Then she, a girl from Ningguo Mansion, is someone else.

Xichun Leng's face turned cold, and she didn't look good on anyone.

Xiren defended Baoyu, "Girl, you know that I don't like to talk about studying, so how can you never stop studying?"

The gentle and silent Yingchun is in a dilemma, not knowing who to persuade.

When the maid below saw that something was wrong, she ran to find the second grandma (Wang Xifeng) to seek justice.

Wang Xifeng, who is in charge of all the affairs of the family, is in a hurry and can resolve the conflicts between the children in just a few words.

At the same time, she also got some new news.

After she comforted Jia Baoyu and made him happy, she went to Li Wan and told him the news.

Li Wan is the wife of Jia Baoyu's late brother.

Li Wan had a son, Jia Lan, who was educated in the small study room at home and studied with Jia Baoyu.

Jia Lan is the son of Jia Zhu, the nephew of Jia Baoyu, and the same generation as Jia Rong.

Li Wan was both excited and a little embarrassed, and finally decided to stand still.

When it comes to the female relatives in the house, who is the smartest is undoubtedly Li Wan.

Li Wan has a good mind, but his mobility and communication skills are not as strong as Wang Xifeng's.

She not only hopes that her son can go to Chongming Academy, but also feels sorry for her young son.

Jia Zheng was also very happy to receive this news.

He wanted Jia Baoyu to go, and everyone sat in Jia's mother's room to talk about it.

Jia Baoyu acted coquettishly in Jia Mu's arms, and Jia Mu softened her heart.

"He is still so young, how can he get up? Then let him study at home."

Jia Zheng: "Mother, this is an excellent opportunity. Zhushan layman is not an ordinary person."

Mrs. Wang was also reluctant to let her son endure hardship. The eldest son died young because of excessive persecution.

Jia Mu also thought of this and immediately became displeased, "Think about your eldest son. If it weren't for you, Brother Zhu wouldn't have died at such a young age..."

Mother Jia couldn't speak anymore, and she burst into tears when she thought of her filial grandson who loved to study.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, Master, do you want me to lose a son?"

Mrs. Wang cried and said to Jia Zheng: "We have lost a son, and this is our only son."

Jia Rong, who was sitting in the last seat, watched them cry, thinking that spoiling a child would be a harm to the child.

If Jia Baoyu was not the protagonist, he would not be able to pass the exam.

Jia Baoyu, the little fat boy, was buried in Jia Mu's arms, not daring to speak, let alone look at his father.

This kid doesn't like reading, so he won't convey information to his father at this time.

Jia Rong withdrew her gaze, fell on the teacup in her hand, and studied the patterns on the teacup carefully.

None of those weeping words fell into his ears.

"Brother Rong, what do you think?" Jia Mu suddenly clicked Jia Rong's name.

Jia Rong suddenly looked up.

Wang Xifeng covered her mouth with her handkerchief and said with a smile: "Brother Rong's soul may have been seduced by the God of Tea."

She added: "This bad-hearted person brought a good date, but it made my ancestor and wife feel bad.

We have to let him resolve this matter."

Wang Xifeng's joke broke the embarrassment in the room.

"Second Uncle Bao has outstanding talent and appearance. It doesn't matter where he goes to study. If you don't want to go to an academy, then don't go.

It’s a pity that this good quota was wasted.”

Jia Rong sets her sights on Li Wan.

Li Wan happened to catch his eye. She was a little anxious, but she didn't dare to express it too much.

Wang Xifeng is a thoughtful person who is accustomed to observing words and emotions.

Seeing the two of them like this, she knew what she should do.

"Brother Rong said, what's so pity? Why not give it to Brother Lan."

"Lang Geer not only inherited his father's appearance, but also inherited his father's brain. He is also a good candidate for reading."

Wang Xifeng stood up and walked to Li Wan. She took Li Wan and waved her handkerchief to Jia Rong and said, "If you recommend Lan Geer, you won't have to worry about your clothes, socks and shoes in the future."

Jia Rong looked at Jia Zheng and saw that Jia Zheng nodded, so he responded.

"Then let Lang Ge'er go over, prepare the apprenticeship ceremony tomorrow, and go out with me."

Li Wan was overjoyed and stood up to salute Jia Rong, then turned sideways and saluted Jia Zheng.

She also said many good things to Mrs. Wang and Jia Baoyu.

Li Wan came from a well-known family, and there was nothing wrong with his etiquette.

Her husband died young and she had no one to rely on. She was left to fend for herself. She didn’t want to offend anyone and devoted herself to her son.

She is also a rare sober woman in Dream of Red Mansions, a woman whose mother is more valuable than her son.

Although she is now full of twilight, like an ancient well without waves, in fact, these are all just an act.

Later, after she entered the Grand View Garden, she regained her youthful vigor. Not only did she lead the poetry club to prosper, but she also managed the Grand View Garden into a pure land and paradise for young daughters.

Now that the matter was settled, Jia Rong stood up and said, "My grandnephew has gone back to read."

Jia Mu waved her hand, "Go ahead."

Jia Zheng also stood up and said he wanted to leave.

According to etiquette, Jia Rong can only leave after Jia Zheng leaves.

He never thought that Jia Zheng would let him go to his study.

Jia Rong: What do you and I have to talk about?

The curtain was opened, and a cold wind rushed in. Jia Zheng shivered, pulled up his robe and walked out.

I don't know when it started to snow outside, and there was a layer of snowflakes on the ground.

A servant had already brought a cloak, and as soon as Jia Zheng walked out of the house, someone was waiting for him.

Jia Rong was just wearing cotton clothes.

Jia Zheng ordered his servants, "Go and get Brother Rong a cloak."

Jia Rong waved her hand, "No, I need to exercise my muscles and bones so that I can face the cold spring and the cold winter in the future."

He didn't want to die in the winter when Ningguo Mansion ransacked his house.

Jia Zheng admired him very much and said, "Good boy, don't be cold." Jia Zheng walked a few steps quickly and went into the study to warm himself up early.
