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

The sisters were chatting and laughing, and after a while Xue Baochai followed Aunt Xue and they arrived. They looked up and saw Yinger behind Xue Baochai was also holding a bundle in her hand, and they couldn't help but smile tacitly at each other.

Xue Baochai had just greeted Jia Mu, and as soon as she came over, she saw them smiling at her inexplicably. When she looked carefully, their eyes were on the bundle in Yinger's hand, and when she looked up again, she saw the maid behind them also They were all holding their bags, and immediately understood their smiles. They also smiled for a while, walked over and said, "It so happens that we have a good understanding, and we didn't discuss it, and we all brought things here. It's really rare!"

"I don't think we have a good understanding, but Brother Yue is really annoying." Tanchun said with a smile, "I don't know how many younger generations come and go in our family. Some of them please the old lady and some of them Yes, there are those that the gentlemen like, some that we sisters and brothers get along with, some that please only one person, and some that several people like, but there has never been one that everyone likes from top to bottom like Brother Yue."

The others bowed their heads and thought for a while, but couldn't help nodding and said, "It's really rare."

"If you want me to say that Brother Yue should be likable, in terms of talent and appearance, it is rare in our family, and those families who have made good friends with our family are rare," Xichun, who has never talked much, also I couldn't help but say some praises for Wang Yue: "It's also fortunate that brother Yue was not born in our family, otherwise, even you might have to back off."

Xichun's words were naturally addressed to Jia Baoyu, and Tanchun, who had always been particularly protective of Jia Baoyu, also spoke at this time, and this time he didn't even refute Xichun's words: "Although the fourth sister said this because she loves Brother Yue too much. But it's not too exaggerated. Brother Yue is really born in our family. The old ladies and gentlemen are afraid that they will hurt like eyeballs, so they don't put you in front of them.

"That's good too," Baoyu said indifferently, but agreed very much: "It would be great if brother Yue could be born in our family."

In fact, it is not without reason that these ladies and gentlemen in Jia's mansion like Wang Yue so much.

On the surface, it is said that he is talented and good-looking, but in fact it is only part of the reason.

Another thing is that although Wang Yue's story about Flowers in the Mirror in the morning is largely based on Li Ruzhen's original work, many plots have been modified by Wang Yue.

Li Ruzhen's thoughts in "Flowers in the Mirror" have improved a lot compared with most ancient men. For example, he fully affirmed the social status of women, and criticized the feudal concept that men are superior to women and that women's lack of talent is virtue.

Just like Tingting and Honghong from the Black Tooth Kingdom, at such a young age, they sweated profusely when they questioned Duo Jiugong, the most sage and talented man, scratching his ears and scratching his cheeks, his face was blushing, and he hated that there was no place to drill.

Yan Zixiao is a swordsman in the female middle school, flying over eaves and walls, appearing and disappearing, Zhi Lanyin and Lin Wanru are proficient in phonology, and Milan Fen is like a mathematician.In addition, Shangguan Wan'er, the maid of the palace, has extraordinary knowledge, quick talent, beautiful breasts, pearls in the mouth, fast and good poetry, and all courtiers admire her.

Especially in the daughter country, men wear dresses and skirts instead, as women, to manage internal affairs; women wear boots and hats instead, as men, to govern foreign affairs.Women's intelligence and talent are not weaker than men's. From the emperor to the ministers are all women.

Even though the Kingdom of Daughters appeared in Journey to the West, the Kingdom of Daughters described by Li Ruzhen at that time was one step closer than that in Journey to the West. progress.

This rare progress, Wang Yue, will naturally be preserved.

But this does not mean that all the ideas in Mirror Flower are progressive, it also contains dross.

For example, sometimes Li Ruzhen occasionally reveals his thoughts of belittling women, and another example is his admiration for the defense of men and women, and even his opposition to free love between men and women.

These were naturally deleted by Wang Yue.

Although Wang Yue tried his best to grasp the size and not let his story arouse the resentment of Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, but his thinking is indeed more thorough than Li Ruzhen. From the ears of the sisters, it is natural that Wang Yue understands them very well. .

For example, Tanchun, she is no better than Yingchun and Xichun, one is Ermutou, the other is cold-hearted and desolate, no matter what, after all compared to them, Tanchun was born by her aunt, but it is her aunt who is in charge of her future Mrs. Wang, she wanted to please Mrs. Wang and strive for a better future for herself, but her biological mother, Aunt Zhao, held her back everywhere. The only person she could rely on was Jia Huan, who could not be supported by mud. It's no wonder that sometimes she feels emotional, wishing she was a man.

This is her occasional complaint, but she may not have hoped that this fantasy will come true.

And Lin Daiyu also thought the same way. Although she was born noble and her parents were loving, her mother always regretted that she could not give birth to a son for the Lin family. Of course Jia Min and Lin Ruhai loved their daughter very much, but sometimes they would inevitably show some regret when they saw their daughter.

Even though the parents are not willing to reveal these things in front of Lin Daiyu, occasionally revealing a little clue is enough for the sensitive Lin Daiyu to discover.

Moreover, the servants of the Lin family would sometimes sigh, which also affected Lin Daiyu.

Especially when her parents passed away at a young age, sometimes Lin Daiyu couldn't help but think that if he were a man, maybe the family situation would be different.

Especially when she heard the gossip and rumors from the servants of the Jia family in Jia's mansion, and the golden and jade words passed down by the servants of the Jia family, at that time, she would always think that if she was a man, she would just leave the Jia's mansion and wander outside You don't have to stay in the mansion to suffer this kind of grievance, let alone pin all your expectations on Baoyu.

As for Xue Baochai, it is even simpler. The Xue family has now fallen. Although it is still among the four major families in Jinling, it can barely maintain it by relying on the power of the Jia and Wang families.

Her father passed away a long time ago. Although her mother is a bit clever, she has soft ears and is even more indecisive. Although her brother loves her, she knows that her brother's temper has been spoiled by her mother, so she only knows how to go out with the family's money. Playing around, he doesn't care about the family's business at all. If it weren't for a few loyal old servants to help him, those businesses in the family would have been wiped out by him long ago.

Although Xue Baochai is a daughter, she has been very smart since she was a child. The old man of the Xue family loves her very much. Not only does she let her study and practice like a boy, but he never avoids her even when dealing with business. Therefore, Xue Baochai understands the current situation of the Xue family very well. .

But what about understanding?After all, she is a daughter's family, so it is not easy to go out to show her face to handle the family's business, and her brother is not willing to listen to her persuasion, but if she is born as a man, she has already taken over the family's business and took care of the family's business properly. up.How could he hide in the Rongguo Mansion, try his best to bribe his servants, even disregarding the shame of his daughter's family and spreading rumors of a good marriage, just to find a backer for the family.

If she is really a man, she will definitely make the Xue family business flourish, and there is no need to go around to make connections.

The daughter country in Wang Yue's story naturally coincided with their thoughts.

As for Yingchun and Xichun, Xichun is simply because Wang Yue also knows how to paint, and she herself is obsessed with painting skills, so she will like Wang Yue who is also proficient in painting skills.

And Yingchun is also very simple, Shanyi has his own ups and downs in his heart, Yingchun has already guessed what the sisters will do from the reaction when they heard the story, it is not difficult, and Yingchun acts in Jia's mansion The biggest criterion is to conform to the crowd, she will do whatever the sisters do, the sisters like Wang Yue, and if they want to give him a gift, then Yingchun will naturally be given.

As for Jia Baoyu, he also likes the view of equality between men and women reflected in Wang Yue's story, but there is another point that attracts him very much.

Although Wang Yue has tried to cut it down as much as possible, so as not to make the irony of the officialdom in his story too obvious, because when Li Ruzhen wrote Jinghuayuan, she had no hope of official career, so naturally she didn't care if the irony in the story would offend People in the officialdom, but Wang Yue is different from him.

Wang Yue has not yet stepped into an official career. Although he does not pursue high officials and high salaries, at least he must have a good relationship, so the irony of officialdom in the story is naturally as little as possible.

However, sometimes in order to make the story complete, some irony of the officialdom is still reserved. This idea naturally coincides with Jia Baoyu's idea.

Therefore, in Jia Baoyu's mind, although Brother Yue has already taken the imperial examination, he himself is very repulsed by this. Maybe he was actually forced by his father to take the exam, and then he thinks that he is forced to study by the master every day. , Jia Baoyu felt that he and Wang Yue had the same disease and sympathy, and at the same time introduced him as a confidant.

Although Jia Baoyu was a little bit like Qin Muchu, thinking of one person who was kind to her, and throwing away the previous one when another appeared in front of him, but it is undeniable that when Jia Baoyu really wanted to be kind to someone, it was true. Heartfelt good.

Now that Jia Baoyu regards Wang Yue as his confidant, he naturally wants to give him all the good things, but he also knows that if it is really a gift to Wang Yue, Wang Yue himself will definitely not agree, not to mention whether his family agrees. It's the next best thing to accept, the silver is not easy to give away, but the gold collar and long life lock he once wore can be given away.
