"Well, very good, Brother Huan, you just need to have this kind of magnanimity!" Feng Ziying waved her hand vigorously and gave the other party an encouragement. Seeing Jia Huan's heart racing, she listened attentively.
"You and Baoyu are different. He is the legitimate son, but he doesn't study or take the imperial examination. In any case, he is just a master who sits at home and has nothing to do. That's why I criticized him so harshly that day.
, I just want to enlighten people and make them wake up. It’s okay not to study, but you have to learn to do things. In the future, Brother Huan and Brother Lan will both study and go out, and Brother Lian will also work outside. Then
Who in Rongguo Mansion will support the situation?"
"According to the rules, the second brother Lian is also the second brother to the title of the Rongguo Mansion. But the second brother Lian has to do something, so sooner or later, the eldest and second rooms of your Rongguo Mansion will have to be separated. Now it is also because the old lady is still here. Once the old lady
A hundred years later, the Rongguo Mansion is divided. I am very optimistic about the second brother Lian as the eldest brother, but what about you, the second brother? Logically, Jia Lan should inherit the second house, but Jia Lan is still young, and you still have two uncles. You
If you go out to work after studying, and Jia Lan also wants to study, what will Baoyu do?"
Feng Ziying was talking eloquently. He didn't even shy away from Tanchun who had already walked outside the door, and deliberately raised his voice.
"So I said, Baoyu, you can't do this. If you don't study, you have to learn to do things. If you don't have the ability to go out to do things like Brother Lian, just learn to do something at home. People like Brother Zhen and Brother Rong can't do it.
You have to go south and north to inspect the harvest of Zhuangzi. Could it be that you, Jia Baoyu, are not as good as Brother Zhen and Brother Rong? You spend your whole day thinking about that little thing with your sister, sister, maid, and boy. How can you spend the rest of your life thinking about it?
"
This last sentence was a bit harsh, but Jia Huan was very happy when he heard it, and Tan Chun even blushed a little when he heard it outside the door.
In addition to Baoyu's love of entangled with girls, Baoyu also had several unclear and ambiguous relationships with Brother Zhong and Jiang Qiguan that could not be hidden from the government, but everyone pretended not to know.
It seems that this kind of thing is not uncommon in the wealthy families in the capital city and Jiangnan, and it has even become an elegant thing. However, decent people still find it disgusting, and it is even more unbearable for girls.
"Brother Feng, I, Jia Huan, will never imitate Brother Bao. I want to study, and I must pass the exam to be a Jinshi. I will also learn from Brother Feng in the future and take Brother Feng as my example...
"
Jia Huan's face turned red and he expressed his stance firmly.
"Brother Huan, studying is a good thing, but you can't say that doing things is bad. After studying, you will still have to do things after you become an official, but you will just do things for the court." Feng Ziying taught earnestly, "Working is actually a kind of experience...
"
Jia Huan nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
"..., I went back to Qingtan Academy the day before yesterday and told Chief Zhou about you. After your academy has passed the exam, I will write a letter of recommendation for you, and you can take the letter of recommendation with you.
Study in the academy and strive to pass the imperial examination in Qiuwei. As for whether you can pass the Jinshi test in one fell swoop, it depends on your own efforts."
Hearing what Feng Ziying said, Jia Huan couldn't help but burst into tears. He could only choke and stand up and bow deeply. If it weren't for the inappropriate seniority, he would have knelt down and kowtowed three times.
He had been bullied in the Jia family for so many years, especially the whole family looked down upon him and all revolved around Baoyu, boasting that Baoyu was the only one in the sky and unparalleled in the earth. He never accepted this tone.
It's just that his endless ambition was ignored. It wasn't until Brother Feng appeared that he truly saved himself.
Brother Feng's encouragement became his biggest motivation, and he was finally able to pass the county and government examinations. He was also absolutely sure that he could pass the college examination. All that was left was to study in an academy.
If it weren't for Brother Feng's help, there would probably be something in the family that would force him to continue studying in clan studies. He had already heard some opinions from the family, that is, his wife said that if someone could read, he could read anywhere. Obviously, he didn't want to let him go. Go out and study by yourself.
If all these people can pass the examination in ethnic studies, then why do they need to go to academies outside?
Those people in the government simply didn't want to let themselves stand out. They were deeply afraid that if they passed the exam, they would embarrass Baoyu even more in the future.
"Okay, Brother Huan, you are a man, don't act like a woman, and there is no need to say any words of thanks. Your ability to study hard is the greatest thank you to Brother Feng."
Seeing Jia Huan's eyes were red and he was choked and speechless, Feng Ziying quickly waved her hand.
"You also have to thank your third sister for caring so much about you all day long. She is deeply afraid that you will hate your wife and not allow you to study. Who do you think she respects your wife and befriends Baoyu for, and not for you?"
Jia Huan was stunned, and Tan Chun outside the door was also shocked.
Tanchun didn't expect Brother Feng to even notice this.
She respects her wife and cares about Baoyu, although it is because of her biological mother and biological brother, but she also has the intention to deliberately maintain a good atmosphere.
Baoyu can't read, but he is a legitimate son, and Brother Huan can read, but he is a concubine. I'm afraid the wife must have a thorn in her heart. If she wants to find some reason not to allow Brother Huan to study, It’s really hard to say, after all, the legitimate mother is supreme, how dare you brother Huan resist?
"Brother Huan, please think carefully about some things. Your third sister and your first compatriot are related by blood. How can they still harm you?" Feng Ziying sighed.
Jia Huan took a deep breath, nodded silently, and said after a long time: "Brother Feng, there are things I shouldn't say at first, but I really can't stay in this house any longer. I have to go out to study anyway, but Third Sister is like this Bian, I can see that Third Sister likes Brother Feng, and Brother Feng, you also have some feelings for Third Sister, but I don’t know how Brother Feng plans to settle Third Sister in the future?"
Feng Ziying was startled. Who said that the third child in the ring had bad intentions? He could even see this. Was he going to ask for Tanchun?
Jia Huan's question shocked Tanchun outside the door. With this important matter of marriage, parents' orders, and matchmaker's words, Brother Huan actually dared to question Brother Feng face to face?
But this question made Tan Chunfang confused. For a moment, she didn't know what to do. She wanted to leave, but she wanted to hear Brother Feng's thoughts, but she was afraid of hearing a result that she couldn't accept.
.
This entanglement caused Tanchun to twist the sweat towel in his hand tightly outside the door, his face flushed, and he didn't even know that Jinshi was withdrawing.
Feng Ziying was also stunned by Jia Huan's sudden question.
If there was no commitment to Baochai, Feng Ziying felt that it was not a bad idea to choose Tanchun, as he liked Tanchun's temperament very much.
However, he also knew that even if he did not have Baochai, even if he got the opportunity to have a second wife and a noble family, Tanchun's status as a commoner determined that he would not be able to marry Tanchun as his head wife. Even Shi Xiangyun was more suitable than Tanchun.
.
These days, the difference between concubines and concubines is so great. Men can still use the imperial examination to change this status difference, but it is difficult for women.
To Jia Huan and Tan Chun outside the door, Feng Ziying could not lie, and he was unwilling to lie.
Tanchun didn't know that he had seen her. Although he didn't know Tanchun's expression and mood, Feng Ziying believed that Tanchun must be very confused and confused at this time.
She probably doesn't know where her own destiny will go. Although she once expressed her affection very implicitly (flirtation), the reality before her is that her eldest daughter is a daughter of the Shen family and her third daughter is a daughter of the Lin family. Unless she finds out,
Spring as a concubine.
Not to mention whether Tanchun herself is willing to be a concubine, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for the Jia family alone.
"Brother Huan, you should know the current situation of your elder brother Feng. My marriage is not just my problem, it involves many things. I don't deny that I have some feelings for your third sister, but there is a problem between me and your third sister.
Sister, this gap before was a natural chasm. You should understand what I mean. To cross this natural chasm, it takes time." Feng Ziying carefully considered every word.
Jia Huan perked up and said, "Brother Feng, I know your ability. You will definitely be able to convince the people in the house, right?"
"Brother Huan, do you plan to let your third sister become Brother Feng's concubine?" Feng Ziying said with a bitter smile: "This is not just a problem for your family, your third sister also wants to save face. If she is so unknown,
If I don’t get a share, I’ll be your concubine for Brother Feng. Brother Feng also feels a little wronged by your third sister.”
Tanchun outside the door was almost in tears. He couldn't help but raise his head and took a deep breath. Then he wiped away the tears with a sweat towel and lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was looking for.
Although birth is destiny, Tanchun has always refused to be inferior to others. However, some things are not dependent on human will. Why doesn't Tanchun know this?
It's just that if she is the daughter of the Shen family, she is not familiar with it anyway. Being a concubine in the past is nothing. But Sister Lin, who I have befriended in the past, is my wife, but I have to be a concubine in the past. How can I explain this complicated feeling to others?
No matter how broad-minded they are and how deep the love between sisters is, who can really ignore them?
In fact, Tanchun also knew that as a commoner like himself, if he wanted to become a wife, he could only marry into an ordinary family, and even a slightly promising scholar would not want to marry a commoner daughter of a martial arts family.
This embarrassing situation is often the most difficult thing for a concubine woman, but Wu Xun is disdained by scholars. With such status combined, it is no wonder that women like Yingchun and Tanchun are narrow in their marriage choices.
Already.
What Brother Feng said today touched the softest part of the always proud Tanchun's heart. Who else could be such a considerate and well-informed man?
"Brother Feng, how do you plan to solve this problem?" Jia Huan asked impatiently: "The third sister is also fourteen this year. She is not young. Maybe the next step in the house will be to find someone for her. If so,
If a man like the second sister fills a house for a man in his thirties, and that man is said to be of despicable character, wouldn't the third sister's life be ruined?"
