Volume B, Section 71: One Day at Jia's House (Part 2)
Wang Xifeng's mind was slightly moved, and she glanced at Ping'er and Feng'er beside her, and said softly: "Ping'er, take Feng'er to clean up the upper room first. Looking at this, the Feng family's elder brother and Baoyu are afraid that
You need to take a rest after drinking,..."
Ping'er knew that they probably had something private to say, so he nodded and took Feng'er away.
"What's wrong?" Jia Lian was a little surprised, and actually pushed Ping'er away. The couple usually treated Ping'er with no scruples of meat and vegetables, and he was Sister Feng's close friend.
"You said that Baoyu really wants to study in the academy, can you read it?" Wang Xifeng motioned to Jia Lian to follow him into the big house. When Jia Lian saw that Baoyu and Feng Ziying were talking enthusiastically, he followed Sister Feng into the house, "
Why do you ask this?"
"I think my ancestors and aunt still hope that Baoyu can read and at least become a scholar or enter the Imperial Academy." Wang Xifeng untied the cloak slowly, revealing her voluptuous and plump body.
"I asked Ziying just now, how difficult it is." Jia Lian didn't think too much, "Baoyu has an impetuous nature and can't control his temper, but the meaning of this scripture is learned through hard reading. He can't sit still. I'm afraid he will fail in the exam.
It’s difficult to become a scholar. I think Brother Zhu was much better than him back then, and he just passed the examination to become a scholar. I think Baoyu will have no choice but to go to the Imperial College in the end."
"You can be considered a scholar if you go to the Imperial College." Wang Xifeng said in a nonchalant manner.
Jia Lian looked at the other party and said, "What's wrong with you today? Why do you talk so weirdly? The Imperial College is indeed considered a scholar, so your husband and I are also considered scholars, and brother Rong next door is also a scholar, but is that useful? Is it Baoyu?
After leaving the Imperial College, can he go to work as an official outside the capital? With his temperament, even if he dares to go there by himself, the ancestors and his wife will not dare to let him go, right?"
In addition to the imperial examination students, other imperial examination students can also be officials. However, this status is too embarrassing. It is not as good as the official imperial examination students. They can only serve as assistant and miscellaneous officials. They also have to go to other places and cannot stay in the capital. It is just a matter of convenience.
Not even Tianfu, let alone Beijing officials.
Even so, you still have to queue up, and you have to have connections before you can be awarded an official, so the noble disciples in the capital still regard the status of Imperial College Supervisor as a way to get a false title.
To put it bluntly, it's just a cosmetic thing, such as having the identity of a Dragon Guard, without even having to click on the digits. It has the same knowledge, different approaches and performance as the one donated by Jia Lian, but it sounds a little nicer.
Jia Lian originally could have stayed in the Imperial College for two more years, but he really didn't want to wait there, so he simply took the opportunity to spend some money and directly donated a colleague to solve the problem. Anyway, he didn't feel that he was a good person.
Readers, there is nothing to be embarrassed about.
Seeing that her man was impatient, Wang Xifeng said softly: "But didn't Feng Dalang also say that Baoyu can go to the Imperial College and then go to the academy to study in the future?"
Jia Lian smiled contemptuously, "Do you really think Baoyu can compete with Brother Keng? Let me tell you, I also asked Brother Rong to inquire about Brother Keng's performance in the Imperial College. He is really serious about it for half a year.
If you really want to study, I know very well what kind of virtues there are in the Imperial College. But just like this, Brother Keng can study hard there. Even Jiang Jijiu praised him full of praise. Let me tell you, even if Brother Keng doesn’t
If you go to Qingtan Academy to study, you will be able to pass the examination, but at most it will be a few years later..."
Seeing Wang Xifeng's expression, he didn't seem to believe it. The corner of his mouth slightly turned down, but his body twisted. After eating a few cups of wine, Jia Lian, who was already a bit drunk himself, saw the woman's convex body under the fiery red satin coat, and immediately felt...
After a few moments of feeling, he reached out and pulled the woman into his arms, inserting one hand into the skirt of his clothes and groping randomly.
Wang Xifeng was caught off guard. She didn't expect her man to be so impatient, angry, funny and anxious. Over there, Baoyu and Feng Dalang were still drinking, and next door Ping'er and Feng'er were cleaning the house, but this guy was going crazy.
"Are you crazy?" Wang Xifeng twisted her body to avoid the other party, pushing her while pretending to be angry: "If you do this again, I will call Ping'er in."
"Just scream, am I still afraid of that little hoof? I've pissed you off, so I'll deal with you two one by one today." Jia Lian didn't care, unbuttoned his clothes, exposed half of his bare chest, and leaned on the bed
On his head, he became more and more wild.
"Okay, it's broad daylight. How can you be a man like you? Baoyu and the Feng family's elder brother are still over there. They have no place to teach the children." Seeing that she couldn't hide, Wang Xifeng could only let it go.
The other party was messing around for a while. There were still outsiders around, so he didn't dare to mess around with real swords and guns. "I'm telling you something, and you haven't finished talking yet."
While enjoying this rare tenderness, Jia Lian also said casually: "You said that Qingtan Academy is much shabbier and smaller than other academies, why is it so famous? That's because the rules and regulations are too strict, and ordinary people can't stand it.
, even if you go to find recommended books, those who can't endure hardship, and those who don't have the understanding of reading, will still be eliminated if they fail the monthly exam. Instead of coming back in despair, it is better not to ask for trouble, that brother Keng.
March has passed. This year is over, but you have achieved such a great reputation. Do you think you can do it without any reading skills? The other three academies are similar. Do you think Baoyu can endure this hardship? "
"So even if Baoyu went to the Imperial Academy, he wouldn't be able to go to the academy to study?" Wang Xifeng said thoughtfully.
"It's not bad if Baoyu can get along well in the Imperial College like me. I'm afraid that he will be like Brother Rong in the Imperial College and follow the example of the people there. Isn't this what the second uncle is most worried about?" Jia Lian
He smiled and said: "As for going to the academy to study, it's just a matter of saying it and letting everyone have something to think about."
"How come Brother Rong is so bad at learning?" Wang Xifeng pouted, "You spend all day having banquets and listening to plays with others, but you say bad things about them behind their backs."
"Huh, don't cover up for him. He behaves in front of you all day long, and you think I can't see it?" Jia Lian took his hand out of Sister Feng's arms, stood up with a sneer, "I have long wanted to find an opportunity.
Knock him, beat him, if he wants to eat swan meat again, be careful of his skin!"
"Oh, I didn't expect that the eldest man in our family would become jealous." Wang Xifeng stood up with a sweet smile and straightened her clothes, "Isn't he also your nephew? Come and say hello to my aunt, that's okay.
It’s perfectly normal. How can it be as unbearable as you think? It’s just you who holds these dirty things in your heart.”
Jia Lian ignored her and went out, leaving Sister Feng sitting alone on the edge of the bed.
She also saw a big fight today. The whole family was busy with Baoyu's study. From the ancestors to the second master and his aunt, no one dared to ignore this matter, not even the second son of his own family.
My uncle also mentioned this matter, which cannot be said to have not touched her at all.
The Rong Mansion is now run by the ancestors, but the housekeeper is her aunt, that is, the second family. Her aunt left the housekeeper to her, and ostensibly gave it back to the eldest brother. She cherishes this opportunity.
, take great pains to manage this house well.
There were hundreds of people in this mansion, and she worked hard to manage them. She finally won the recognition of her ancestors and aunt, and she also enjoyed the pleasure of this power.
But she doesn't know how long she can keep this power.
You can see some secrets in Baoyu's study today.
No matter what, the ancestors, the second master and his aunt still hope that Baoyu will have a good family background. In other words, he will find a study background so that he can have a serious status.
Now that Baoyu is ten years old, it will take another four or five years to get married. Once the bride comes in, will the ancestors and aunts still give them the stewardship?
All things considered, a niece is not as important as her own son. It is probably the right thing to let her daughter-in-law take care of the house. Sister Feng knows this well.
Logically speaking, my husband is the eldest son of the eldest son, and it is only natural for me, my daughter-in-law, to take care of the house.
However, my parents-in-law not only cannot talk to my ancestors, but they also have a bad relationship with me.
Even if she can get back the housekeeping rights, I'm afraid her mother-in-law will keep it firmly in her hands and won't leave a penny to herself. But no matter what, when her mother-in-law gets older in the future, she will still have to hand it over to her.
of.
Sister Feng had long known that Baoyu was the most favored one in the family, but today's situation made her realize this on a deeper level.
If Baoyu can really read, I'm afraid that the Rong Mansion will completely change its appearance. If Baoyu becomes an official by then, his wife will probably take over the housekeeper's power, and it will no longer be possible to hand over the housekeeper's power.
Are you back?
Just like now, the reason why my aunt can occupy a dominant position in Rongfu is not only because my ancestors like my second uncle, but also because my second uncle holds a position in the Ministry of Industry? My father-in-law can only support a first-class general.
It's just a false title and some salary.
Unless we separate.
But is it so simple to separate a family? Sister Feng shook her head subconsciously. She must wait until the old lady passes away before she can take that step.
Fortunately, it seems that Baoyu may not be able to study now. At most, he can just have the status of a prison student like his own men. That's about it. Things will be much easier to handle in the future.
While Wang Xifeng was lying on the bed thinking about things, Jia Lian had already joined the battle group.
Jia Baoyu didn't dare to drink more, but he persuaded Feng Ziying a lot. Now it was Jia Lian's turn. After a few more glasses of wine, Feng Ziying really felt a little dizzy.
I thought that I drank a lot in my previous life, but in this life, the strength of this wine is far less than the white wine in my previous life, so I should be fine, but I never thought that I still overestimated my drinking capacity and the weight of this sweet wine.
It was refreshing after drinking it, and I felt very clear-headed, but the energy that gradually came up made me feel very comfortable, and I subconsciously wanted to lie down on the ground.
