The heart of the red mansion is like jade

Mrs. Wang was puzzled when she heard Jia Mu's words. She always thought that Jia Mu was determined to let Daiyu marry Baoyu, but she didn't expect Jia Mu to have that intention at all, and now she doesn't know what Jia Mu really thought.Seeing Mrs. Wang's puzzled look, Jia's mother didn't want to explain, she just said: "I will calm down today's matter for you, but you have to remember to discuss with me before doing anything, and don't try to be smart again. Everything is for Zheng'er and Baoyu, if you are on their hind legs, be careful not to walk around."

Mrs. Wang Nuonuo agreed, and said: "From now on, I will listen to the old lady." Jia Mu looked at her impatiently, waved her hand and let her go down.Mrs. Wang thought about Jia Mu's ferocious face and the words that warned her, and made up her mind that she would never disobey the old lady's wishes again. As long as Jia Zheng and Yu'er were the most important in her heart, she would be at ease.

After Jia Zheng returned to his room at night, he was inevitably punished. Madam Wang accepted it silently. The little girl Que'er next to her helped Mrs. Zhao pick up the thread.Jia Zheng, who was in a rage, felt much warmer when he saw this scene.Wen Sheng said: "Tui'er, it's still making clothes so late." When Zhao Shi and Jia Huan saw Jia Zheng coming, they hurriedly got up to greet him. Let’s make a jacket for the master, it’s warm to wear, and even though it’s made of cotton, it’s still comfortable to wear.”

Jia Zheng smiled and said, "You have a heart." You said to Jia Huan, "What book will Huaner read again?" Jia Huan stood up and replied respectfully, "Go back to the university." Puzzles?" Jia Huan laughed and said, "Sister Lin marked it very clearly, there is nothing puzzling."

Jia Zhengdao: "Is this what Yu'er taught you?" Jia Huan replied: "It's the book sent by Sister Lin, and it's also marked. It's easy for my son to learn." Jia Zheng sighed in his heart. His son did not do as much as his cousin Daiyu. Seeing Jia Huan's confident look, he said, "Then now that father is testing you, may you memorize the university?"

Jia Huan was a little scared at first, but now seeing his father treating him with a pleasant face, he smiled and replied: "Of course it is possible, father, please listen: the way of learning is to be clear and bright, to be close to the people, and to be good. Know it before you stop." There is steadiness, and then you can be calm, and then you can be calm, and then you can worry, and then you can get. To govern a country, those who wish to govern their country must first regulate their families; those who wish to regulate their families, first cultivate their bodies; those who wish to cultivate their bodies, first correct their minds; Its meaning is to first extend one's knowledge, and extension of knowledge lies in the investigation of things. After understanding things, one can know them, and then one can be sincere in one's mind. The world is at peace. From the Son of Heaven to the common people, all of them are based on self-cultivation. Those who are in chaos and are not governed are not. Those who are thick are thin, and those who are thin are thick. There is no such thing. This is called knowledge. , This is called knowing the best. The so-called honesty is not self-deceiving. It is like a bad smell, like a good sex, this is self-modesty. Therefore, a gentleman must be careful about his independence. The villain is not good when he lives idle, and he does everything. See a gentleman Then we get tired of it, fight for its badness, and focus on its goodness. When people look at themselves, it is like seeing their liver and lungs. What is the benefit? "Ten eyes see, ten fingers point to, it's so strict! "Rich house, virtue nourishes body, heart is wide and body fat, so a gentleman must be sincere in his intentions. The poem says:" Zhanbi Qi'ao, green bamboo and Yiyi, there is a gentleman, such as cutting like grinding, like cutting like grinding, seizing Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, he's not going to be so loud..."

Jia Zheng saw that Jia Huan had not recited a single word wrong, so he knew what Jia Huan said was true. When he was studying, he felt that he had learned it by memorizing it. He didn't ask Jia Huan if he understood, so he praised: "Okay, Huan'er, you don't need to memorize it anymore, yes, it can be seen that a lot of effort has been put into it."

Jia Huan said: "Some fathers praised him." He looks a little bit like himself, but he likes Jia Huan a little bit more.Seeing that although Jia Huan's clothes are all plain cotton clothes, they are clean and clean, and he doesn't have a single accessory on his body, and then remembering that Jia Baoyu is not as progressive as Jia Huan in wearing gold and silver, he feels that he treats Jia Huan too much. Feeling indebted, he said to the little girl, Que'er: "Tomorrow, I will go to Mrs. Wang's to ask for some fine silk and decorations, and let him deliver them to Huan'er's room."

Que'er agreed, but Jia Huan said, "Father, my son is fine now. Why bother to wear the silk and satin? My son thinks this cotton cloth is comfortable to wear." Zhao also said, "Master, We are used to this, and Madam must be very busy with Bao Erye's marriage now, so why bother her."

Seeing that Jia Huan and the Zhao family had made up their minds, Jia Zheng no longer insisted, but his dissatisfaction with Mrs. Wang and Jia Baoyu increased a little.Then he said to Zhao: "I just feel sorry for you." Zhao said: "Master still has concubine and Tan'er Huan'er in his heart, so concubine is content. Jia Zheng was satisfied, and looked at Jia Huan again, He asked, "Huan'er, do you want to take the imperial examination? Jia Huan was naturally willing, and hurriedly said: "My son is naturally willing, but now my son is not even a scholar." Naturally, Jia Zheng knew that it was Madam Wang who wanted to stop him secretly, so he hurriedly said, "It's okay, I will donate a prison student for you and Baoyu tomorrow, and you can directly take the provincial examination." "

Jia Huan's eyes lit up, and he said again: "Thank you, father, for your kindness. It's just that the son wants to pass the exam on his own." Jia Zheng was very happy. Well, it’s just that the emperor is thinking of adding an Enke next year, and after next year, the provincial examination will be held, and then the general examination and palace examination will be held directly, this is a good opportunity.”

When Jia Huan heard what Jia Zheng said, his heart moved slightly, and Zhao persuaded: "Huan'er, this is indeed a good opportunity, you have to think about it." Jia Huan said: "In that case, thank you father. After finishing speaking, he kowtowed to Jia Zheng twice.Jia Zheng said quickly, "good boy, get up quickly. I'll find a wife to call you and Baoyu tomorrow." Jia Huan thanked Jia Zheng again and asked, "Can Lan'er participate?"

Jia Zheng was slightly taken aback, he hadn't seen Jia Lan for a long time, he always felt that Jia Lan was still a child of six or seven years old, so he said, "Lan'er is too young, let's talk about it later." Jia Huan had no choice but to agree. "Zhao also thanked Jia Zheng, and asked Jia Zheng if he could have dinner, Jia Zheng said no, and asked his servants to serve the dinner.

After the three of them finished their meal, Jia Zheng rewarded the little girl Que'er again. Seeing that Jia Zheng looked tired, Jia Huan took his books and went to his room.Que'er made up the bed and went down too.Jia Zheng and the Zhao family went to rest on their own.

Jia Huan was praised by Jia Zheng, and knowing that he could take the provincial examination next year, he was naturally happy in his heart, but Fu also felt that he could do too little, wishing to divide his time into several shares in the future. He always wanted to have the opportunity to change the relationship between himself and his mother. The situation, now that you have an opportunity, you will naturally cherish it.Jia Huan said to himself: You must work twice and three times harder to protect your mother, sister and sister Lin.For this thought, from this day until the day of the examination, I only slept for two hours a day, and never left the book except for eating.

The next day, Jia Zheng told Jia Baoyu that he was going to take the exam next year. Unlike Jia Huan's joy, Jia Baoyu was unhappy, but he was always afraid of Jia Zheng, so he had to hide that Jia Zheng was not unhappy when he saw him. Satisfied in his heart, he personally invited his master to teach the two of them, but Jia Huan was the only one who really went to study, and Jia Lan would also go, but Jia Baoyu always found excuses not to go to school, and the old master didn't care. Teach Jia Huan and Jia Lan wholeheartedly.

Mrs. Wang saw Jia Huan and Baoyu going to school together, and she hated in her heart. She always regarded Baoyu as a phoenix and Jia Huan as nothing. Feng Feng found trouble with Mrs. Zhao in addition to the busy housekeeping affairs. Mrs. Zhao endured them one by one so that Jia Huan could read the readings with peace of mind. Mrs. Wang saw that Ms. Zhao kept quiet and intensified, but she did not dare to beat her. Often abusive.Mrs. Zhao is thinking about it now, but she doesn't take it to heart, she just pretends she didn't hear it.Mrs. Wang saw that Mrs. Zhao didn't care, she couldn't get out of her heart, and felt depressed every day because of her depression, which was her own fault.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day when Jia Baoyu got married. Although she was the second wife, she was gifted by a noble concubine and Jia Baoyu thought she was Jia's mother's most beloved grandson, so it was extra grand. Mrs. Wang personally arranged her son's wedding. What I like, naturally spare no effort.There were lanterns and festoons everywhere in Jia's mansion, and because it was winter that all the flowers in the garden had withered, Mrs. Wang asked the little girls to tie silk flowers on the trees, just like when Concubine Yuan was visiting relatives.Baoyu used Jia's mother's private house to get married. Although Jia pardoned Jia Lian, Jia Zhenfeng's sister, You Shi and others, they dared not speak up, but they also had complaints in their hearts. Even Jia Zheng thought it was too much, but Jia's mother was very satisfied. Can't.

In other words, apart from Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang who are satisfied with Jia Baoyu's marriage, the rest of the masters have complaints.The servants of Rongguo Mansion are all like human beings. Except for the servants managed by Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang, the rest don't care much. They don't want to be burdened and offend their master, and they think it's too much : It's just marrying a concubine. As for what, I spent so much money on these ostentations but didn't add a penny to my monthly money.There were fewer people working, and Mrs. Wang didn't have the means of Sister Feng. After all, the whole wedding was a lot of chaos. Mrs. Wang was anxious but she couldn't do anything about it. Fortunately, Mother Jia sent a mandarin duck to watch, so everything was ready.
