Concubine Wen Xi of the Red Chamber Cheng Jia Min

Seeing that everyone looked ugly, Jia Min raised his eyebrows and didn't say a word. He just took the bird's nest porridge that Jing Ke handed over to fill it up, and said casually: "Mother, don't worry, Baoyu is young, and he can't talk nonsense. Nobody cares."

Jia Mu frowned, disliking Jia Min's attitude very much, and said, "What are you talking about? No matter how Baoyu is, he is also your nephew."

Jia Min collected her expression, put the bowl on the table, and there was a bang. She looked at Jia's mother, sneered, and said, "Mother, I don't know if my daughter should say something." She didn't wait for Jia's mother to say something. When the mother spoke, she said directly, "You protect Baoyu too much." She frowned and looked at Baoyu, and then said, "Look at him, he can't study now, let alone practice martial arts, and he doesn't even know anything about economics. , so, do you still think that he will have great fortune in the future?"

"He's still young..." Mother Jia muttered.

Jia Min sneered, pointed at Jia Hu, and said, "When Brother Hu was Baoyu's age, what did you do, mother?" She paused, then said, "You don't love him, you are kill him."

Mother Jia glanced at Jia Hu, but her eyes seemed displeased. After a moment of silence, Mother Jia sighed, "Min'er, I know you don't like Mrs. Wang, but Baoyu is your nephew. You can't just ignore him." She saw Jia Min frown, and Jia's mother said again: "Baoyu has been smart since he was a child, and he has a bit of talent, but now she has no famous teacher to teach him, which delays him."

"So." Jia Min lowered her eyes slightly, her voice soft and gentle.

"I was thinking..."

"Mother." Jia Min didn't wait for her to finish, and said directly: "I know what you want to say, if you can't do it or you can't, you can send Baoyu to Qingshan Academy." She knew what Jia Mu meant, she just wanted to Lin Ruhai taught Baoyu.

"How can that be done?!" Mother Jia quickly retorted, "The academy is very poor, how can Baoyu bear it?"

"Ha." Jia Min said happily, "Don't act like he can pass the exam."

"Wait, aunt." Jia Hu interjected, "Are you talking about the quota of Qingshan Academy?" His eyes lit up, obviously very interested.

Jia Min gave Jia Hu an interesting look, nodded reservedly, and said, "So what?"

This Qingshan Academy has existed longer than the Qing Dynasty. In the previous dynasty, the head of the Qingshan Academy had always been the Li family. If this is true, this Qingshan Academy was originally the property of the Li family. He accepted students regardless of their backgrounds. As long as you can pass the exam, no matter you are poor or aristocratic, you will be treated equally. Qingshan Academy is very popular in the Jiangnan area, and it is one of the best academies, and it is respected by scholars.

There is also Qingshan Academy in Beijing, which is only famous but not obvious. After all, there is Guozijian and Tongen Academy in Beijing. Most noble children are more willing to go to Guozijian or Tongen Academy. Few noble children are willing to go to Beijing. The Qingshan Academy among them, after all, only Qingshan Academy, values ​​talent and learning, not background.

There are also many noble children who look down on students from poor families. They only think that being in Qingshan Academy seems to be an insult to their noble background, so they disdain Qingshan Academy.

Little did they know, these people were not unwilling, but unable.

Jia Min's proposal to let Baoyu enter Qingshan Academy definitely gave the Jia family a great deal of face. In her opinion, she is innocent and naive. Now that Baoyu is young, if she teaches her, she may still be able to become a great weapon.

She plotted against Baoyu, so if she gave him a place in the academy, she wouldn't owe the child anything.

One drink and one peck is also a fixed number.

Jia Hu took a step forward, kowtowed respectfully to Jia Min, and said, "Auntie, my nephew is willing to go to Qingshan Academy, please help me!" Ring your head.

Jia Mu's face was very ugly, she didn't want Baoyu to go, but it didn't mean she was willing to let Jia Hu snatch Baoyu's spot, but Jia Hu was her grandson after all, so naturally it wasn't good to favor one over another, after all, she didn't say anything to refute words come.

Jia Min glanced at Jia Mu again, bent her lips and smiled softly: "Okay." She gave Jia Mu a chance, but Jia Mu didn't want Baoyu to suffer. Incomplete?

Yingchun secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although she didn't know what Qingshan Academy was like, she could see that her brother valued it so much.

Seeing Jia Hu's happy smile, Jia Min chuckled and said, "You don't have to be grateful to me. If it wasn't for Li Xin, I wouldn't have given you this spot."

Jia Mu frowned and said, "Min'er...Baoyu..."

"Mother." Jia Min spread her hands helplessly and said, "You also said that Baoyu is still young, and no one will care about what he said inappropriately." Seeing that Jia's mother seemed to be angry, she just Said: "In the future, you can just walk around more in various government festivals, and you won't be defensive if you think about it."

Jia's mother took a deep look at Jia Min and sighed: "Now that's all there is to it." Seeing that Jia Min hadn't spoken, she had to say, "Min'er, I know you're angry in your heart, we just need to vent your anger." They are still mothers and daughters, don't hurt your relationship because of outsiders, understand?" After speaking, she sighed and took Xing and others to leave.

Jia Min looked at the back of Jia's mother leaving, her eyes were indistinguishable.

But Jia Hu, he got such a big benefit, so he naturally smiled. Jia Lian looked at his brother sympathetically, and said: "When I go out on weekdays, I heard people talk about Qingshan Academy. The place I just went to is poor and miserable, how can there be a good teacher to teach in such a place?!"

Jia Hu rolled his eyes, looked at Jia Lian with contempt, and said: "You are asked to study more on weekdays, but you never take it to heart. What do you know?!" He taught Jia Lian a lesson, and saw The younger brother looked rather unconvinced, and said: "In Beijing, although Qingshan Academy is not as good as Guozijian, Tongen Academy is famous, but where is Guozijian? Even Tongen Academy is a place where the children of officials and nobles gather. It is naturally good to be able to enter these two academies, which will be of great benefit to becoming an official in the future, but Qingshan Academy is different. It does not care about the background, it only cares about the intellectual level of the scholars. Qingshan Academy is none other than Qingshan Academy.”

No one had ever mentioned this to Jia Lian before. Hearing Jia Hu's explanation, he immediately widened his eyes and said, "If that's the case, brother got a big deal today."

Jia Hu snorted, but he had to admit that with his current level, it would be quite difficult for him to be admitted to Qingshan Academy, but who would have thought that his aunt would have a place in Qingshan Academy, but...

Jia Amnesty also stepped forward and said: "Brother Hu, since you have asked for a quota, naturally you must study hard, don't let it down."

Seeing the trusting gazes of his father and younger brother, Jia Hu gradually lost the sense of uncertainty just now, even if he is the worst in knowledge, as long as he works harder, he can always catch up.

Jia She frowned and thought for a moment, then whispered to Jia Hu: "Brother Hu, you said your second uncle..."

Jia Hu's complexion turned dark, and he said through gritted teeth, "Second Uncle must know the benefits of Qingshan Academy."

"What should I do?" Jia She was full of worries, looked at Jia Hu and said, "If your second uncle insists that Baoyu go to the academy, your grandmother..." After finishing speaking, Jia She gritted his teeth and said to Jia Hu: " Don't worry, leave this matter to Dad!"

As expected, when Jia Zheng heard that Jia Mu had resigned Baoyu from the Qingshan Academy, he almost pouted in anger. He cried, "Mother is confused! Mother only knows the same kindness, but she doesn't know that the threshold of Qingshan Academy is high." If you rely on Baoyu's current talent and learning, it is simply wishful thinking to enter Qingshan College, now that you finally get this opportunity, how can you give up!"

Mother Jia was shocked, and quickly asked: "Didn't you say that Qingshan Academy is a place for sour Confucians?!"

"That's just some sour words." Jia Zheng sighed.

Mother Jia frowned, looked at Jia Zheng and said, "Are you serious? Isn't our post from the Rongguo Mansion too good?"

Jia Zheng sighed, and said, "Mother doesn't know, Qingshan Academy has been a famous academy in the south of the Yangtze River since the previous dynasty. Every year in the imperial examination, there must be students from Qingshan Academy in the top three." Jia Zheng told Jiamu in detail , "It's just that in the present day, when ** was involved in Tu...Qingshan Academy, it slowly declined. Only later, the imperial court used a large number of Han officials, a Manchu family, and many of these Han officials came from Qingshan Academy. It's slowly recovering."

Jia Mu frowned, not knowing what she was thinking, she pursed her lips after a while, and said, "Brother Hu is in his early twenties now, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to go to the academy."

Jia Zheng's heart fluttered, but he didn't dare to answer.

Jia Mu lowered her eyes, snorted, and said, "Go and call Brother Hu, I have something to say."

When Jia Zheng saw the mandarin duck leave, he pretended to say, "Does mother want Brother Hu to let Baoyu go?"

"What do you mean by letting?" Jia Mu raised her eyes and said sharply, "The seat in this academy originally belonged to Baoyu, and he snatched it away."

Jia Zheng quickly lowered his head, bowed and said, "What mother said is true." He was a little relieved, and it was because of his father's kindness that he was able to send Baoyu to the academy.

As soon as Jia Hu saw the mandarin duck, he knew what was going on. He sneered and said, "Hmph, my good second uncle, is he also at the old ancestor's place?"

Yuanyang laughed dryly, greeted Jia Hu and Li Wan, and then lowered her eyes and said in a low voice: "Master, Grandma, I heard something about the academy in a trance, and it's not very real."

Jia Hu sneered, Li Wan looked worried, she walked to Jia Hu's side, and said softly: "Master, if not, I will go to find my father."

Jia Hu sighed softly, took Li Wan's hand, and said in a warm voice, "I'm sorry for you, but I don't need to bother my father-in-law with this matter." Then she followed Yuanyang and left.

Yuanyang followed Jia Hu, seeing Jia Hu's gloomy face, and sighed softly.

"Why should Yuanyang girl sigh?" Jia Hu raised her eyebrows, "Grandmother only has Baoyu in her heart, and Yuanyang girl understands it when she thinks about it, so why should she sigh?"

Yuanyang paused, she pursed her lips, and said, "I'm just sad for the uncle." She looked at Jia Hu's slightly thin back, gritted her teeth, and thought of the secret she kept in her heart...

Baoyu, your love is your original sin!
