[Red House] Ban'er's Road to Imperial Examination

As soon as Jia Baoyu entered the gate of Yihong Courtyard, Xiren greeted him and said, "I heard that a little child prodigy came to the house today. From top to bottom, not only the old lady likes it, but even the ladies like it. What did the boys pass on! It's a pity that I didn't catch it."

"Then what's the matter?" Jia Baoyu waved his hand casually, and said indifferently, "Isn't Brother Yue still there? I don't see you today and see you tomorrow. I think the old lady means to keep Brother Yue." I stayed at home for two days, and besides, I haven't seen you this time, so it's not like Brother Yue won't come in the future."

Xiren smiled and took off his overcoat for Baoyu, and said, "I'm just asking for nothing, but I've led you to say this big story. In the end, it's just a curious question. Have you seen anyone?" What matters?"

"You should see him, this man is really rare."

"Then I'm still gone. If I can let you say such a sentence, I'm afraid my temper is also weird."

"That's different. Brother Yue is different from the people I've seen before. I thought he was going to take the imperial examination at a young age. Although his parents' urging was the majority of the reasons, I'm afraid I'm also a mouthful." Zhe Ye is a nerd, but I never thought that after this meeting, I found that not only is he not a pedantic nerd, but I am afraid that he is much more advanced than me."

"Then it seems that he is indeed destined for you. In the future, you can keep in touch with him often. Isn't it better than those young masters outside?"

After hearing this, Baoyu didn't refute directly as usual, but thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Brother Yue is indeed better than them!"

Xiren was overjoyed when he heard the words, but to be honest, the direct descendants of the duke's mansion like Jia Baoyu should associate with those princes and young masters in a serious way, and this is the circle they should be in.

But Xiren knew Jia Baoyu's temperament very well. With Jia Baoyu's temper, the sons and brothers who made good friends with him didn't care much. They only ate wine and spent money every day. When we are free, we make an appointment to have a banquet together. To be honest, we are just friends with wine and meat.

Such friends are fine for having fun, but they are useless when it comes to serious business.

Xiren has already regarded herself as Jia Baoyu's person from the bottom of her heart, and naturally she has to consider everything for Jia Baoyu. In her opinion, the people Baoyu wants to associate with when he goes out to socialize should also be those who have a bright future and can really do something. People, messing around with those wine and meat friends, in the end they just spoiled Baoyu, and they would rather not go out than associate with those people.

But at first Baoyu had this temperament, and Xiren had told him countless times since he served him, and he promised well on the surface, but he just ignored it and let it go.

Secondly, it is an outside matter, and Xiren just inquired about the situation from the boys who followed Baoyu, and she didn't know the real situation very well, and she was just a maid in the back house after all. , It will not affect Baoyu's social situation outside.

So Xiren hoped to find someone who could influence Baoyu's temperament. Qin Zhong seemed to be fine, but at least Baoyu was willing to study with him.

But no one thought that Qin Zhong was short-lived, he left at a young age, and Xi Ren also heard from Ming Yan who was beside Baoyu that Qin Zhong seemed to have something wrong in private, so Xi Ren refused to appear in front of Baoyu Let's talk about Qin Zhong's words again.

But now there is another Wang Yue, but Baoyu is still willing to associate with him, not because he takes part in the imperial examination, as usual, he is very repulsive to him.

This far exceeded Xiren's expectations, but Xiren was happy to see it happen.

Xiren made up his mind to report to his wife when he turned around, and asked Baoyu to have a good relationship with this Wang Yue, but it was not easy to show this thought in front of Baoyu. Xiren just smiled and took off his clothes for him, and pressed him down. On the bed, he said: "There are so many things going back and forth today, shouldn't you be tired? Have a good rest!"

Baoyu was pressed on the bed by the Xiren. His face was a little tired, but he still refused to fall asleep. As soon as Xiren saw that he had something else to do, he asked, "What's the matter? But Miss Lin Is something going on again?"

Baoyu nodded and said: "The story that brother Yue told today is indeed good, but there is a person in that story who is quite similar to Uncle Lin. I think sister Lin seems to be drawn to Uncle Lin by this story. Missing, when she was walking on the road just now, her eyes were already a little red, but she was trying not to cry in front of outsiders. I wanted to follow up to comfort her, but sister Lin only said that she wanted to be quiet. Yi Jing, refused to let me go, so I had no choice but to come back."

Xiren nodded when he heard this, and said, "At this time, Miss Lin should really stay quietly for a while. Every time I think of my father, I also want to stay quietly by myself."

After hearing Xiren's words, Jia Baoyu finally calmed down a bit, but he still ordered: "Help me remember something, I..."

"Don't tell me, it's useless to tell me, you always put Miss Lin's affairs on top of your heart, you forget your own affairs, and you won't forget Miss Lin's affairs, I won't help You remember!"

Jia Baoyu was about to say something, but was interrupted by Sheyue, who was sitting and chatting: "Oh, my young master! You can save yourself, everyone is going to be exhausted today. , Seeing that we are going to move in two days, things haven't been packed yet, I've been busy for a long time, but I just figured it out, so I can take a rest at noon while you are asleep, why are you Make trouble for nothing!"

Hearing Sheyue's complaint, Jia Baoyu smiled embarrassedly, and he apologized with a smile: "It was my fault, please worry about it!"

"Knowing that we are bothering you, why don't you hurry to bed!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Jia Baoyu quickly lay down and let the attacker cover him with the quilt, but just after lying down for a while, Jia Baoyu suddenly remembered something, sat up quickly, and faced the person guarding his bed. Xi Ren said: "I remember the clothes I wore when I was a child, and the things I used are still there!"

Xiren sat on the edge of the bed and guarded the bed for Jia Baoyu, and waited for Baoyu to fall asleep. Seeing that there was nothing wrong here, and there was a musk moon guarding her, she wanted to lean against the bed post for a while, but just closed her eyes. Baoyu woke him up again.

Xiren forced his eyelids which were so hard to open, forced a smile, and said, "What's the matter? They're all still there. Nanny Li handed them over to me back then."

"It's good that they are all there! You find out the ones that you can wear, and when the time comes, Brother Yue will bring them to him when he goes home. I haven't worn those clothes too much, and they are still half-new. Brother Yue, go back to yourself. It’s good to wear it, give it as a gift, or cut it to make a shoe upper! Oh, by the way, I also found those collars and longevity locks, and brought them to Brother Yue.”

"Find them all? Clothes are nothing. Those collars and longevity locks are all gifts from old ladies. Don't say keep them well, how can they be given away so easily?"

Hearing Baoyu's words, Xiren didn't say anything, and Sheyue objected first, but Baoyu didn't take her words to heart, and said: "It's just some necklaces and long-lived locks, and they are not valuable things. Or I can’t use it now, but it’s just left in the box and moldy, so it’s better to give it away.”

Seeing that Sheyue was still somewhat dissatisfied, Baoyu's face also became serious: "I can't decide this kind of thing anymore? Even if I bring it to the old ladies, they will definitely agree!"

Musk Moon was about to say something, but she swallowed the words with a look.

Seeing that Sheyue didn't reply this time, Baoyu smiled again: "I'll tell my wife about this later, and I won't embarrass you!"

After hearing this, Xiren laughed and said, "It's not a big deal. It's worth telling your wife about it. After all, it's not a valuable thing, but it's because you have brought those things close to you, and they are all The things given by the elders are not easy to throw away, they have just been collected, if you want to give it away, then give it away!"
