Every Red Mansion dungeon must play the ending of Long Aotian

The housewarming banquet on this day can be described as a joy for the guests and the host.

Xing Zhong and his wife were simply happy that their daughter was affirmed by Jia's mother, but the Jia's evaluation of the Xing family was much more complicated.

Jia's mother had intended to promote Xing Xiuyan to compete with Xue Baochai, but now that the Xing family is not that bad, their family background seems to be well-off, and Xing Xiuyan's talent is also extraordinary, so she naturally became active.

Soon, the Jia family began to gossip, saying that the Xing family was not so miserable, but was caused by current events.When the old Prince Yizhong did something bad, the bloody storm in the court, so many people followed him, and the older generation dare not mention it.The Xing family used to be a tenant for others, probably not because of poverty, but to avoid disaster!You see, how many officials who were dismissed from office in the past have been used when Long live ascended the throne today?The Xing family probably came out after hearing about it.

He speaks with a nose and eyes, as if he saw it with his own eyes.

Needless to say, Xing Zhong passed the county and government examinations once, which became the best evidence for this argument.

If when the Xing family first came to Beijing in the twelfth lunar month last year, some people in the Jia family said that the Xing family might have come to beat the autumn wind, but now no one would say that.Xing Xiuyan's identity also changed accordingly, from a poor girl who had been visiting relatives to fight the autumn wind, she became a lady from a serious scholar's family.

Scholars, farmers, businessmen,

Although this dynasty is not as harsh on businessmen as the previous dynasty, but businessmen are businessmen after all, and they cannot be compared with scholars.

Although Xue's family is an imperial merchant, what they do is to buy miscellaneous materials for the palace, and this kind of work is originally a high-quality, cheap and quick-selling job, and what is needed is a man to run in person.Today's Xue family, Xue Pan, how can he do such a job?Not to mention Xue Pan's performance, everyone in the Jia family saw it.

Compared with the Xing family, although the Xue family is rich, anyone with a discerning eye can see that their family is going downhill, and their assets are still shrinking rapidly.

As for the Xing family, it looked inconspicuous, but it was steadily going uphill step by step.Everyone is convinced that Xing Zhong passed the hospital examination in the coming year, and the Xing family will change their family soon!

A rich woman with the identity of a merchant girl, her family is still going downhill.

A daughter who looks like her family is not bad, but is a serious scholar, and her family is still going uphill.

Comparing the hatchbacks, it is natural to be superior.

Afterwards, Jia Zheng's evaluation of Xing Zhong greatly increased the weight of the Xing family.

Jia Zheng liked to socialize with scholars the most. Seeing that Xing Zhong had passed the county and government examinations, he naturally wanted to send Xing Zhong a post to invite Xing Zhong to be a guest.

But what about Xing Zhong?He had already heard that the first and second house of the Jia family were not on good terms, so naturally they favored his sister.And he also knows his own affairs.This exam was luck, the Lin family helped him to bet on the questions, but if he didn't work hard, he would be dismissed if he failed the exam next year, it would be a big embarrassment!

Therefore, Xing Zhong politely declined Jia Zheng's invitation and stayed at home to study every day, just because he had something to do. He either went to the suburbs to inspect the property, or went to the Lin family to receive Lin Ruhai's teachings while Lin Ruhai was resting.

Where does he have so much time to go to Jia's house for a drink?

Because Xing Zhong rejected Jia Zheng's invitation and let Jia Zheng take a high look at him instead, Jia Zheng's high evaluation of Xing Zhong naturally benefited Xing Xiuyan.

The first thing to show is Xing Xiuyan's residence in Jia's house.

Xing Xiuyan is Mrs. Xing's niece. Generally speaking, when she comes to Jia's house as a guest, she either lives with Mrs. Xing or squeezes with Yingchun.But Mother Jia thought Mrs. Xing lived far away, and Mrs. Wang's Baosha behind the Rongxi Hall was already crowded for three springs, so she ordered people to clean up the west wing of her main courtyard for Xing Xiuyan to live in.

You know, Jia Baoyu lived in Jiamu's yard, and when he drove Qianxue away, he smashed a teacup in the house, and Jiamu heard it in front of him.It can be seen how close his house is to Jia Mu's house.

The door opposite Jia Baoyu is Lin Daiyu's room.Before Lin Daiyu moved here, Shi Xiangyun came to live for a while, and lived in the green gauze cabinet in Jiamu's main room.Later, when Lin Daiyu moved here, Shi Xiangyun came to live for a while and slept in the same room with Lin Daiyu.

As for Xue Baochai, although she was flattering, Mother Jia never let her live in her yard seriously.

It can be said that apart from Shi Xiangyun and Lin Daiyu, Xing Xiuyan is the only one.

Mother Jia told Wang Xifeng in front of Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, and Aunt Xue: "You don't think that girl Xing is young, she is a decent lady, she was spoiled and spoiled when she was young, and she is also particular about her actions. Your mother-in-law’s niece and niece just ignored her. She loves reading and painting. You can go to the old library to find the painting guy. I’m afraid there’s still something in the box. If there’s anything missing, make a list. Let it be bought outside. It is better to be rich than to be short, and don’t let her be insufficient.”

Mother Jia had given such instructions, so Wang Xifeng was naturally very attentive.

The west wing of Jiamu's main courtyard is naturally tall and spacious, and there are about three rooms with side rooms.Wang Xifeng reckoned Xing Xiuyan's habits and made the room to the south a bedroom, and the room to the north a study room, and moved two large desks into it, one of which was filled with a pen holder for a desk. , are all pens, and there is a special large bookshelf in the study room, where there are all kinds of paper, plain silk and various plates, brush washers, and pen holders, which are full of piles.

Not to mention the decorations and tea in the house, everything is available.

On April 23rd, Xing Xiuyan really cleaned up decently, and brought two maids, Ding Xiang and Zhuan'er, here.

Then the Jia family clearly felt the difference between the Xing family and the Jia family.First of all, the time to wake up. Because of Jia Baoyu, the Jia family’s daily morning and evening settling time is also late, because when Jia Baoyu wakes up, it is basically after Mao hour, and when everyone gathers at Jiamu’s place, it is almost Chen hour. the end.

But what about Xing Xiuyan?She got up at dawn in the morning, and when the sun rose, she was already sitting at the desk and started copying books. By the time everyone went to Jiamu's room, she had been sitting at the desk for at least an hour and a half.

When Jia Zheng found out, he was very angry, and praised Xing Xiuyan: "This is the child of a serious scholar!" At the same time, he called Jia Baoyu to scold him.

If it wasn't for Jia Baoyu's birthday approaching, he would definitely knock this son down and beat him up!

In front of Jia Zheng, Jia Baoyu was as silent as a cicada, not even daring to vent his breath, and even more listless when he returned to Jia's mother.

Knowing the cause and effect, Jia's mother was naturally unhappy, and looked at Xing Xiuyan more than once.

Xing Xiu smoked his mind and said with a smile: "Although it is said that my cousin is young and playful, which makes the second master in the house hate iron and steel and follow him anxiously, but I want to say that the second master in the house is too strict with my cousin. A little bit."

Mrs. Wang paused in her hands, and said, "Oh? What is this saying?"

If the words are not right, let's see how she will tease this little girl who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth.

Xing Xiuyan said: "There are two kinds of people in this world. One is the one who is gifted and never forgets. I don't know my cousin, but I know that Sister Lin is such a person, so she has learned the Four Books at a young age. This kind of person To be loved by God, ordinary people can’t learn it. The other is ordinary people like us, who can only rely on hard work to make up for one’s weakness and strive to catch up. Confucius once said that teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, how can this talented person be like us? What about human upbringing? Let me tell you, if my cousin can remember it with his eyes like Sister Lin, he doesn’t need to do these hard work. It’s better to take advantage of his youth, see more, experience more, and grow up in the future. The same thing can be easily avoided like a spring breeze and drizzle, or the disaster can be easily resolved with ease, which is better than being restricted to study at home."

Hearing that, both Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang were moved in their hearts.

These words did not speak to their hearts!

No one knows better than them what the Jia family's situation is now.When Jia Daishan and Jia Daihua were here, how rich the Jia family was, Mrs. Jia's mother and wife have all experienced it. Compared with the present, Jia Amnesty's first-class Shenwei general and Jia Zhen's third-class Weilie general are both titles. There is no position, and Jia Zheng's Ministry of Industry Yuan Wailang is also a title, and there is no actual dispatch.

In other words, today's Jia's family is just an empty shelf, with a decent and empty appearance.

Jia Baoyu was gifted and intelligent, and he was smart since he was a child. Both Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang had high hopes for him.

But Jia Baoyu was born weak, which is also a weakness, which is why Jia's mother can't bear to force her.

Mrs. Wang felt a little stronger than Jia's mother in this regard. She hoped that Jia Baoyu would make progress and bring glory to the Jia family, but she was also hesitant because of Jia Zhu's tragic lesson.

After hearing Xing Xiuyan's words now, Mrs. Wang couldn't help blurting out: "Then tell me, how should Baoyu be raised?"

Xing Xiuyan smiled and said: "Second wife is making things difficult for me. I am a girl and young, and even if I know a thing or two, it is only superficial. If you ask me, there are ready-made candidates in the house. Why don't second wife ask for advice?" them?"

Mrs. Wang asked who it was.

Xing Xiuyan replied: "One is the aunt of the mansion, Sister Lin's father, Mr. Lin. Mr. Lin is Tanhualang, the top of the three tripods, so I need to talk about it in knowledge? The other is naturally the elder of the East mansion. The girl's father. I'm a junior. I don't know why this old master lived in the Taoist temple. But his Jinshi was also passed the examination in a serious way. Now the serious Jinshi is not going to ask for advice, but let my cousin follow a When an old scholar reads, isn’t it a waste of time to go by picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons?”

I heard Madam Wang's heart move.

Although Jia's mother didn't like Jia Jing, she had to admit that what Xing Xiuyan said was reasonable.

Mrs. Xing interrupted: "Girl Xing, you don't know, why didn't the old Hanlin be invited to this mansion back then?!"

It's just that they were all driven away by Jia Baoyu's petty temper.

Xing Xiuyan thought for a while, and said: "Auntie, some people in this world study for the sake of reading and understanding. In their hearts, reading is for clean knowledge. Some people study for fame and fortune. What they do here is a matter of thieves. Although Hanlin's knowledge is good, if he has real skills, he may have been appreciated and promoted long ago. The Hanlin, who has been admitted seriously, came to teach a Mongolian boy. I'm afraid he didn't have his heart In terms of teaching, I want the family to help with activities, so that he can get promoted and make a fortune! Such a person, not to mention the family, even I feel bored when I meet him."

Hearing this, Jia Baoyu immediately jumped up, clasped his fists and bowed to Xing Xiuyan, and said: "I have only met my sister a few times, and I don't know that my sister is also a bosom friend!"

Jia's mother immediately realized that Xing Xiuyan had hit the mark.

She quickly hugged Jia Baoyu in her arms, and said, "Baoyu, my darling! Why didn't you say so earlier! In no way, how much wronged you have suffered!"

Since it is Hanlin and an adult, it is not easy to train a child!Presumably Jia Baoyu was full of grievances back then but couldn't say it.

Mrs. Wang also turned angry and said, "my son, thanks to having you today! I didn't know that my Baoyu had been wronged so much!"

Mrs. Wang may be stupid, but she is a master of house fighting, knowing how easy it is to destroy a child.

To put it mildly, it was that Hanlin didn't teach her son well, but to put it more seriously, it was Jia Baoyu's desire to study and his future that were almost ruined!

It's no wonder she can let it go!
