[Red Mansion] Master Jia

What Xue Pan was going to do today, Jia Lian didn't know in advance, it was a coincidence that today was also the day of the yamen's rest and bathing. Let's talk about poetry.

Taking a small path, Jia Lian walked through a verandah and came to Jia Zheng's outer study, where the boy went in to report.

Not long after, Jia Lian went in. After meeting Jia Zheng and paying tribute to a group of Qing guests in the study, a Qing guest named Bu Guxiu smiled at Jia Zheng: "The second master Lian in the house is very romantic. Elegant, a rare character. I heard that they are all admitted to the scholar? This is a very happy event, if the family holds a banquet, they will also ask for a glass of wine."

Jia Zheng twirled his short beard and said, "Lian'er has finally found his way back, and is smart and motivated. If Baoyu can be like Lian'er, I will die in peace, alas."

"Mr. Zheng, I think your son is extremely smart. You can know that he is elegant and elegant just by listening to his poems on weekdays. This is only because he is still young. I guess, in another ten years, I will wait for the vulgar I can only look up to you, the father of the No. smile.

Jia Lian was blushing when he watched, but time waited for no one, and he didn't want to delay here any longer, so he couldn't help saying: "Second uncle, Lian'er is here to invite second uncle to the school together, and ask Dai Confucian Mister something."

Jia Zheng was slightly surprised: "What's the matter?"

Jia Lian was "shy" and said in a low voice, "I just want to ask if Lian'er needs to continue to take the rural exam, and what should I pay attention to in the rural exam..."

Jia Zheng said "Oh", and didn't think much about Jia Lian's intentions. He just thought that he was respected by the juniors, so that Lian'er didn't look for his father.However, Jia Zheng turned his attention to the behavior of elder brother Jia She, and suddenly realized that the elder brother would not worry about such things for Lian'er, and would instead take the initiative to ask Jia Dairu to come to the mansion for questioning. Wouldn't it affect the mansion? Gained the reputation of "respecting teachers and respecting Taoism".

Jia Zheng glanced at Jia Lian appreciatively, Lian'er was more measured, and knew that he had to find himself in this matter.

At this time, the cleaners in the house wanted to show their skills in front of Jia Zheng, pointing out Jia Lian's exams, but after thinking about his highest fame as a scholar, he felt a little ashamed.In the past few days, the only one of Jia Zheng’s disciples had gone home to study, and was preparing to try the water again before the age of 45, to participate in the next year’s general examination.

The Qing guests, Jia Zheng and Jia Lian, had business to do, and they bid farewell tactfully, but Jia Zheng waved his hand and said, "It happens that the children of my family and relatives are all studying in the school of the clan. Let's go and see them together, and we can also take the school exam." The school, if there are outstanding children, the gentlemen can choose the one they like, and they can also teach them individually, the Jia family is not stingy with training."

When the Qing guests heard that it was profitable, and the Jia mansion was generous to them, they usually had a leisurely time with Jia Zheng, so three or four went to the school together with Jia Zheng and Jia Lian.

After arriving at the school, Baoyu, Qin Zhong and the others had already finished their tea. Since Jia Dairu didn't come, Jia Rui only needed them to study by themselves after class. A quarter of an hour has passed.

Just at this quarter of an hour, Baoyu and Qin Zhong, Lianxiang and Nayuai, the two lovers sat together and glanced at each other for a few moments. Their eyes were full of autumn water, and their brows were full of affection. hand.

Jia Baoyu and Qin Zhong have had the experience of being together for a long time, and it is not the first time. Even the young Jia Lan in the school has already seen the signs, and Jia Huan knows that he has no personal servants to serve him. , During the recess, no one played with him, so he could only sit in the house. At this time, seeing the man in front of him was so numb, he couldn't help but shouted in disgust: "Mandarin ducks play in the water and find a shade under a tree, and some But people are like hungry dogs who will eat meat and bones regardless of the occasion!"

Both Jia Baoyu and Qin Zhong were not stupid, so they naturally understood the meaning of Jia Huan's words. Qin Zhong's face was flushed with anger, and Baoyu also stood up with a "huh", turning around and glaring at Jia Huan.

Jia Huan couldn't help feeling guilty, but then he remembered that his wife had caused trouble for him and his aunt again last night, causing her to embroider until midnight, and her eyes were red when she woke up in the morning.With a cold heart, he straightened up on purpose, and looked at Baoyu provocatively, without hiding the displeasure in his eyes at all.

Baoyu was about to lose his temper, but Qin Zhong was shy, and being poked in the center of his heart, he was so ashamed by Jia Huan's words that he pulled Baoyu's lapel with his hand.When Baoyu saw it, he knew that he didn't want to be troublesome, so he looked away as if he saw something dirty, and stopped looking at Huan'er.He only said warmly to Qin Zhong: "The air in this room is really oppressive! Jingqing, let's stay outside for a while, and there is still a quarter of an hour left. Besides, even if we come back late to meet our son, Brother Rui won't say much. something..."

Qin Zhong nodded, and went to the backyard with Baoyu, looking for a quiet and solitary place, and the two of them sat together alone.The remaining Lianxiang and Yuai also glanced at each other at this time, they were both impatient in the house, and they also found another hidden place in the backyard.

Jia Zheng and Jia Lian, together with Qingke and others, entered the front yard of the ethnology school, and unexpectedly saw that not only the accompanying servants of Jia's family were sitting in the yard, but also a few serious people who should be sitting at the desk at this time. The students are playing each other in the middle of the yard.

Jia Zheng frowned, his face turned gloomy, and he scolded: "It's so unbecoming to sit here! Hurry up and go into the room to study!"

When the students saw Mr. Zheng, they flew into the house in a swarm to finish the work. The servants all shrunk their necks and bowed. Jia Zheng entered the house and took a look.Jia Rui reported that Jia Dairu was visiting friends and only returned to school in the afternoon, so he was more relaxed in the morning, and only let them review their homework in this class.

After speaking, Jia Rui's face turned a little blushing.It's not easy for Jia Zheng to blame anything.

He glanced at the vacant seat, and asked the other students in front of him: "Where's Baoyu?"

No one in the room answered.

Jia Zheng looked at Jia Rui, and Jia Rui also had a look of ignorance.Jia Zheng lamented in his heart.This beast must have played truant again!This morning, he specifically asked him to study hard with Qin Zhong's child, but in a blink of an eye he came by accident, and there was not even a trace of him—"Where did Baoyu go? Tell me, Huan'er."

Jia Zheng named Jia Huan.

Jia Huan shook his head and didn't know, "Second Brother Bao and Qin Zhong went out together..." After finishing speaking, he wanted to talk to the master about the troubles between the two, but he recalled the piles of Buddhist scriptures at his wife's place and only lit a lamp. A dark room with oil lamps—he flinched and kept silent.

Seeing Jia Huan's cowering appearance, Jia Zheng felt very displeased, so he didn't pay any more attention to him.

The room lacked seats for five people, except for Baoyu and Qin Zhong, Lianxiang and Yuai, Xue Pan didn't know when he was going to get out of the yard on tiptoe.

He really didn't expect his uncle Jia Zheng to come here. Originally, he gave Baoyu the medicine just to see him and Qin Zhong make a fool of themselves by doing that in broad daylight, but who would have thought... well, if someone finds out that it is If he moved his hands and feet, not only his mother would beat him to death, but his uncle and his uncle Wang Ziteng, whom he had never met, would also beat him to death.

Xue Pan couldn't help shivering when he thought of this, and he was about to successfully step out of the school yard, but at this moment Jia Lian shouted with a smile: "Brother Pan, you are—"

When Jia Zheng heard this, his eyes fell on Xue Pan.This is another worry. If Baoyu doesn't make progress, Xue Pan will be even more hopeless.

Jia Zheng only asked Xue Pan to study in the school because of the affection of his relatives. There is no distinction between teaching and learning, and he still hopes that he can change for the better. "Pan'er, are you playing truant again?"

"No, no...Uncle, I have something to do with the business at home, so I'm going back to deal with it." Xue Pan was called and had to stand in front of Jia Zheng.

"Really?" Jia Zheng was suspicious.

"Really." Xue Pan nodded, wanting to swear by raising his hand. "I really want to go to the shop to see the shopkeeper."

"Then you can see your brother Bao?" Jia Zheng asked casually, he didn't expect Xue Pan to know where Baoyu had gone, he guessed that he had gone out shopping or just stayed in his room.

But Xue Pan was in a hurry to leave, guilty and impatient, blurted out: "Isn't Baoyu just behind—" In the end, he forced his tongue to turn, "Yes, it's in the room. Hehe."

Although Jia Zheng was not good at reading words and demeanor, looking at people like Xue Pan who were "straight and naive", he could still tell that he was lying. "Pan'er, where is Baoyu? You have to cover it for him—" He sternly tried to scare him.

Xue Pan had never seen Jia Zheng treat him like this. He even saw the shadow of his father who was about to beat him with a big stick. He said the truth: "There—" pointing his finger to the backyard.

Jia Zheng snorted coldly, let Xue Pan go, and walked straight to the backyard.

There were only three people in Baoyu's servant yard, and only Mingyan always followed Baoyu.

Shuangrui and Shuangshou, who were waiting on Baoyu, wanted to go to the backyard to inform the second master to avoid it, but the front yard of this school was too empty, they were standing on the other side of the yard just now, and Jia Zheng Not only did he bring Er Ye Lian with him, but he also brought a group of cleanups to stand in the yard. If they walked to the backyard, it would be too obvious.Shuangrui and Shuangshou have always been timid, otherwise Mingyan would not be the dominant family, and even Hoe Yao, who was the first to serve Master Bao, had to retreat to the second line now.

The faces of the three young servants were bitter at this moment, and Jia Lian scolded them at this moment: "Hurry up and follow! Wherever the master Baoyu is going, shouldn't you be there to serve him?"

Then Jia Lian also followed Jia Zheng to the backyard. A group of Qing guests looked at each other in blank dismay. Some of them were clever and wanted to avoid it, but then they thought about it. After seeing them, they can persuade Jia Zheng one or two. Afterwards, the wife of the host family listened to it, and would privately back up a generous gift and send it to the house... If they couldn't bear the hardship and had less money, they wouldn't do it either. Clean up.

Therefore, Shan Pinren said "seriously" this time: "Let's persuade the Zhenggong, because Baoyu is still young, and I fear that the Zhenggong will be cruel."

"Exactly." "Exactly."

"We should go together to persuade..."

At this time, Jia Zheng entered the backyard alone. He first saw Mingyan who was bored to watch over Baoyu, kicked him down, scolded him to keep quiet, and knelt on the ground not to move.Then Jia Zheng continued to walk forward quickly, he insisted on seeing what this evil person was doing at this time, and Jia Lian behind him paced leisurely, without any trace of panic, only occasionally a few mocking smiles leaked from his lips meaning.

Wang Xifeng is now his wife, and he also took over the unborn child in his womb. Since she didn't want them to disappear, what right does Mrs. Wang have to want to do it under his nose many times?Overreaching!

The sorcerer has always had the temperament of retaliating fire with fire and using violence to control violence. When he encountered such a ready-made opportunity in front of him, he only let Wang's precious lump be humiliated once in school, how could he be satisfied.

Jia Lian caressed with two fingers, and looked up to see behind a tree, two figures with white skin and flesh between their buttocks...

He suppressed his smile silently, and quietly stood behind Jia Zheng.

At this time, Jia Zheng was really jealous!

"You bastard—"
