The eldest grandson of the Red Chamber

"It seems that such absurd things won't happen in the future." Ming Xu also laughed, although he didn't know exactly how his grandmother negotiated with the Jia family, but the Jia family's attitude can be seen from this news.It's just that it was Jia Zheng who did it, and it was the grandmother who was beaten after she came to the door. It is hard to guarantee that the Wang family and others who dote on Baoyu will not anger Daiyu.Before you go, find a chance to go to Rongguo Mansion again.

"It really made me more knowledgeable. That member of the Jia family, Wailang, really didn't know what his son was doing. If my father was left alone, there would be no such things behind." Song Feng marveled at Jia Zheng's control over Jia Baoyu The strength is so weak, if it were him, if there was a slight irregularity outside, Lao Tzu would know it immediately.

"Although you can't do such a ridiculous thing, if you can do it, you don't want to be as polite as you say, but I heard that your uncle often jumps a few feet high when you are angry." Mingxu laughed at him .Song Feng's words and deeds sometimes can be called deviant for this era.He is the youngest son, and his family didn't place high expectations on him, just a mediocre one.Song Feng was favored by his uncle the most on weekdays, and he was punished the most times. He refused to mend his ways despite repeated admonitions, and was always on the verge of death.

Although Mingxu also disapproved of Lao Tzu's control over his son's itinerary, but in this era, it's normal, if you don't hear about it for a long time, you don't want to raise it.

"His temper is really hard to explain. Why didn't he remember the gentleman's demeanor when he taught his son? It's really nonsense, and it doesn't make sense at all." Song Feng's expression was indescribable when he mentioned his father.The key is not to argue with him, if you are angry and just explain one or two sentences, you are disobeying Lao Tzu.

Mingxu listened and walked forward, ignoring him. Every time Song Feng complained that Lao Tzu complained badly, but every time he showed the most exaggerated father-son relationship, he was also the one.

After entering the house, Song Feng walked around Ming Xu's room first, and then naturally started talking about the next topic: "Cousin, look at your posture, are you heading south immediately?" Everything was tidied up.

"It was originally scheduled for the day after tomorrow, but since you heard the news, I discussed with my grandfather to postpone it for a few days, and leave in the middle of the month. Luckily, there are no outsiders, and the itinerary is optional." Ming Xu sat down at the table, gave himself Pour a cup of tea.

"I really don't understand. Although Jiangnan has a strong literary style, the capital is not as good. If you go to Jiangnan again, the Guozijian quota under my uncle's name will be cheaper than Mingxi."

"Our family is young, wouldn't it be good if brother Xi can pass the exam? In the future, we two brothers will have someone to help us."

"How can a concubine enter the Imperial Academy, and only your family can have such a handwriting."

"If you have nothing to do, go to bed early, and you will not be free tomorrow."

……

On the second day, Mingxu sent Song Feng away and came to the Sun family.When I came out again, I decided to go to Jia's mansion, and I was about to leave, and Daiyu should say hello to her, because this kind of thing happened, she had to ask face to face to be at ease.

The time was not easy, and Mingxu sent a post to visit Mrs. Jia the next day.On the other hand, Jia's mother was unhappy when she got the letter, thinking that the young man of the Ming family should come to care about the rumor of the poem manuscript, but then thought of Baoyu's high fever at night, and resentment in her heart, so she wanted to shirk away.

It so happened that Jia Lian was asking for some miscellaneous matters in front of her today, and seeing the worry on Jia Mu's face, she smiled and said, "Old Ancestor, since you are here, you might as well meet up for Sister Lin's sake. And this Ming family Boy, I have dealt with him a few times in the south of the Yangtze River, and he has the most informal temper, a temper that doesn't care about everything. I heard that he will go south every day, maybe he came here to say goodbye to the ancestor?"

"Brother Bao, you have been lying on the bed for two days and have not seen you visit once. You can tell a thing or two about the temper of outsiders." Jia Mu said lightly, and casually put the handkerchief for wiping her mouth on the tray.

"The old ancestor wronged me. I just entered the house, and Feng'er told me about Brother Bao. My brother, can you not go and see? Besides, Mingxu is no longer an outsider, but he is also an outsider." Isn't your half-grandson-in-law, since they are all a family, where is the overnight feud?" Jia Lian laughed and walked behind Jia Mu to beat her shoulders, speaking in a natural way.

Jia's mother snorted and stopped talking. Yuanyang raised her head and glanced at Jia Lian, then cleverly went down to pass on the message.

When Ming Xu came in, Jia Lian was no longer there, and there was only Jia Mu as the master in the room.Mingxu just went in and saluted: "The old matriarch is well, it's been a long time since I've seen you, and she's become more energetic."

"You child, where did you get so many gifts, come here quickly, you will think of me today." Jia's mother's attitude was the same as before, without revealing anything.

"I haven't come to visit the old lady for a long time. It's my fault. This year, it's Qiu Wei. The family is stricter. The younger generation has been studying behind closed doors for a while. Then I got some free time. Let's see if the old lady is okay." For the sake of this junior, the old lady won't care about this with me?" Mingxu answered the words naturally, making up his mind not to mention the rumor of the poem manuscript first.

"Look at this mouth, I'll tell you all the good and bad, and I'll catch up with my Feng Lazi. The old lady is old, can she still argue with you, a grandchild?" Mother Jia calmed down unconsciously. After hearing him talk about Qiu Wei, he said kindly: "Study is the most important thing. I'm here. When can't I come and have a look. I don't stick to those customs."

"The old lady is famous in the city for being fond of the younger generation. I wanted to come and see you as soon as I went out, and I wanted to say something before I left so that the old lady can rest assured."

"Didn't you just come back a year ago? Are you leaving again?"

"Old lady, forgot? You have to go back to your ancestral home to take the exam. Besides, this time I returned to Beijing because my sister left the court. I came back with my grandfather to watch the ceremony. Now that the daughter of the Ming family is Xie's wife, I should naturally return to Jiangnan." , read the book to the end."

"Good boy, you must persevere in reading. You are a sensible person, unlike the one in my family who is very slippery in reading. I just recited an unruly poem the day before yesterday. I asked him to teach me a lesson." Mother Jia seemed to mention it along the way. Baoyu.

Mingxu lowered his brows and narrowed his eyes, turning over the porcelain cup in his hand, waiting for what Jiamu would say next.

"I'm old, and I can't tell the things you children play. Brother Xu is a good reader. Why don't you tell me the rules of composing poems? When my unsatisfactory grandson recovers, he can also Talk to him." After Jia's mother finished speaking, she stared at Mingxu who was next to her, not letting his face go.

But I saw the people in the seat laughing, with a little embarrassment of a young man.Mingxu blinked at Jiamu: "The old lady is burying me. Who in the circle doesn't know that I am so dull in poetry. This time I go back to Beijing to play music with them, which time is it not?" I drink the most because they want to enjoy it."

"Really? This doesn't look like someone picked out by Ruhai."

"When I was taught by Lin Shibo before, Shibo often sighed, saying that if I can share three-point talent in poetry and poetry, I will be satisfied." Every time Lin Hai finished sighing, Lin Hai saw him study harder and harder. The rhyme of the poem is rhythmic, but it lacks a little aura.From then on, I restrained myself from saying such things, and comforted him by saying that poems are small ways, some are icing on the cake, and there is no hindrance if they are not, you are doing practical things.

"Although I can't write well, both my husband and Lin Shibo who taught me before said that poetry is about smoothness and naturalness, and if it is deliberately polished, it will lose its flavor." Mingxu's face is genuinely puzzled, looking like you The appearance of the wrong teacher: "Gentlemen should mean that poetry does not have to follow any rules. Brother Jia is still young, and aura is the most precious thing. It is not easy to wear it out."

Seeing that the expression on his face did not seem to be fake, Jia Mu recalled his words and deeds since he entered the house, and did not see any flaws.

"I also said this, the children's family is much more spiritual than the old pedant's. But my grandson is still young, and it is inevitable that he has not considered everything thoroughly. The poems on weekdays might as well be passed on by the villain. Respect, get outside."

Mother Jia paused at this point, took a sip of tea before continuing: "It's nothing, but he has a lot of sisters, so I'm afraid those who have evil intentions will make up bad words."

"In this world, women are not easy." Ming Xu sighed, raised his eyes to Jia Mu, pretending to be ignorant: "The old lady told me this, but it has something to do with me?"

"It's somewhat related. You know that among my many grandchildren, except those who are married, only Yu'er has a marriage contract with your Ming family. After my grandson's poems were spread, your grandmother came to see me. I talked to her a few words to find out what happened." Jia's mother said lightly, but she didn't care about it in her eyes, Sun's woman is so high in seniority, but she cares about trivial matters, and Baoyu is a child, too. An unintentional mistake can be said to be greedy for vanity and glory.

"So that's the case, but grandma didn't mention it to me. Speaking of it, it was a misunderstanding. The old lady said that her grandson was 'healed' earlier, but she was wronged because of it?" Mingxu asked knowingly,

"His father has always been strict with him. When he heard about this, he immediately went to the board and was still lying on the bed. The child was negligent. Although the punishment was severe, it can't be said that he was wronged. My granddaughter is the one." I was wronged." Mother Jia sighed as she spoke.

"What's wrong with Sister Lin? But what's wrong?" Hearing Daiyu, Ming Xu hurriedly asked, and got up straight away.Although I have learned about the situation from my grandmother, I still have to finish the play.

Seeing that Mingxu was so nervous about Daiyu, Mother Jia nodded slightly. "Earlier in the first lunar month, the mother in the palace ordered the sisters in the family to live in the Grand View Garden, and Yu'er naturally moved in. Everything was fine, and the sisters were happy living together. But now something happened. , your grandmother told me that maybe Baoyu can be moved out. But it is the mother's will to let Baoyu live in, and we can't refute it."

"The old lady is right. Monarchs and ministers, father and son, really cannot be disobedient."

"Daughter's family is in the world, and reputation is the most important thing. Since Yu'er's grandma-in-law said so in the future, I naturally can't ignore it, but Baoyu really can't move there. So I thought about it and told Yu'er to move out of the Grand View Garden. It can barely be regarded as having both, but I have wronged my Yu'er, who used to live well with my sisters, but now I have to move out by myself." When Jia's mother mentioned this, her heart ached, Yu'er really suffered for no reason. this time.

Mingxu didn't speak after listening, and it took a long time to make a sound, but it was a request: "Old lady, this junior has a merciless request."

"Brother Xu said it directly."

"This incident was also caused by me. Grandma was also careful for my sake. She wanted to prevent trouble before it happened and not fall into the crowd. Thinking about it, sister Lin also suffered this innocent disaster because of me. Can I get along with you?" When she met, how many words should she say?"
