Listening to Baoyu's eloquent talk, Lin Ruhai didn't loosen his brows at all.

This matter is really absurd to say, how can anyone dream of such a thing that benefits the country and the people?But if you don't believe it, then that precious jade is convincing, and there are things to find to prove it, and you can know how to plant it.

If Baoyu let him know about these two things through hearsay on weekdays, but he doesn't go out on weekdays, and the servants in front of him are all from family backgrounds, and they have never even been to Zhuangzi, I want to say I don't know where to start with Baoyu.

After all, Lin Ruhai has been an official for many years. After thinking about it, he said to Baoyu: "The most important thing for you now is to try the courtyard. Otherwise, I will feel sorry for the old lady and your master."

Baoyu knew that what he said was right, but he didn't want to give such credit to others, so he asked anxiously: "Uncle, do you think my nephew is talking nonsense? Such a thing is just giving up the two acres of land at home. After a try, it will be easy." I know. If there is such a thing to offer to the sage, maybe the sage will let my uncle go back to Beijing."

Hearing that Baoyu was still thinking about how to return to Beijing, Lin Ruhai became more and more satisfied with Baoyu, wishing that this was his child.There was a smile on his face at this time: "That's what you said. It's just a matter of a few acres of land, and your uncle's house still has it. Plus you have explained how to plant it so clearly, it seems to be planting It's not difficult either. You don't have to worry about it."

When Baoyu saw that he had agreed, he let go of his worries.Even if he knew that Lin Ruhai had his own means, but forced the emperor to let him go, it would be better to let the emperor use him willingly——if Lin Ruhai can continue to be an official, it will be good for Daiyu in the future, not to mention the future of Rongguo Mansion. It's better to be ransacked like in the original book, and it's better to have an official to take care of it than a group of people trapped in the prison temple in the original book.

When Jia Lian and the others returned to Jinling, they brought the Lin family's chief steward—Lin Ruhai, who was worried about others, thinking that the chief steward always had more knowledge than others, so that in case the precious jades were found by others, but they were just rare playthings, they would not be reassured. It's not worth the effort to grow it.

When the big butler saw the two things brought up by someone, he had never seen them before, so he couldn't help being surprised, but he still took them over with a serious face.Jia Lian didn't know what was in it, but Baoyu only said that he would know when Uncle Lin planted it, so he covered it up.But he still left some seeds, thinking that the people in Jinling Zhuangzi would plant some.

At this point, Mr. Tan knew that Baoyu had a real idea, and it wasn't just the child's stubbornness, and he didn't intervene, but just urged the two to study.

Fortunately, the examination was also held in Jinling, so the two of them didn't have to travel any more, so they took advantage of it and didn't have to suffer from the hassle of running around.But this also made the two of them feel like they had shed a layer of skin, after all, this trial was also a sad one.

The two of them who had recovered from sleep for two days had to open the door of the mansion again, posting posts everywhere to thank their brothers for not having the crime of visiting during the Chinese New Year.Other people's houses are especially good, but the Zhen's house is still a must-see.

But Jia Lian only went out once by himself, and told the Zhen family that Baoyu had caught a cold, and it would be over if he couldn't go out—he taught Lin Ruhai well this year, and he knew that in the officialdom, there were traps everywhere. Don't let people be led into the ditch, you can only stand upright and upright, so that people have nowhere to start.

At this point, there was nothing else to do except waiting for the list, Baoyu wanted to go to Zhuangzi to see how the corn and potatoes were growing—even if he gave Lin Ruhai some seeds, he still felt that it would be safe to experiment more.

Jia Lian didn't stop him, because he also wanted to go to the village to avoid those people who came to make connections.Mr. Tan was also interested in the two things Baoyu said, and the three of them went to Zhuangzi together.

It was the time when the land was covered with greenery, and although the weather had already warmed up, seeing the pleasing growth of the crops, even Jia Lian felt open-minded, and smiled at Mr. Tan and said, "Baoyu's idea is a good idea."

Mr. Tan nodded slightly: "Let's take a look at his two things first. Otherwise, Second Master Bao is thinking about it every day, and I'm afraid he will not be safe when he returns to Beijing."

Baoyu followed suit and nodded: "That's right, you have to see me before you can rest assured. It's because the second elder brother Lian misses his nephew, or I must watch the things come up before you can rest assured."

Jia Lian patted him lightly: "What do children know about everything? You have been out for more than a year, why don't you think about how much the old lady is worried?"

Baoyu also felt a little embarrassed when he heard this: "Oh, what can be done, who made the exams not all arranged together? But if there is no delay, we can't grow these two things."

Zhuangzi was not far from the city, and the three of them didn't think it was too tiring to take the car. Once they entered Zhuangzi, they were led by Zhuangtou to the field where two things were grown.

I saw that most of the surrounding plants were rice, only the corn stood out from the flock, with straight roots and thick shoots, and just looking at the straw, it was thick and pleasing.

There are also one or two that have begun to ear, but they are still thin and not small, which makes people feel a little surprised.Mr. Tan pinched the tassel with his hands, and felt that it was so soft that nothing could be seen, so he asked worriedly: "But such a thing?"

Baoyu nodded affirmatively: "Exactly. Wait for another month or two, and I'm afraid it will be done."

In the potato field again, this thing grows very well, but I can only see a field covered with blackened green leaves, and I can't tell whether it is good or bad.Baoyu said to Zhuangtou, "Let someone dig a tree and have a look."

He had an order, what could Zhuangtou say, and ordered the people to go down to the ground.The potato has been planted for nearly three months, and only the part on the ground is growing well, and white flowers have bloomed. Zhuangtou is also curious about what it looks like underneath.

When one was dug out, a few soil eggs were hanging on the root. The digger wanted to pull it down, but only after he moved did he realize that it was growing on this root.

Baoyu beckoned to people, asked people to bring the things over, and said to Mr. Tan: "It looks good." Regardless of whether there is soil or not, he picked one up and handed it to Mr. Tan to see.

What can be seen from such a thing?Seeing Baoyu's high interest, Mr. Tan still nodded his head so as not to dampen his interest.Baoyu also knew that there was no real effect. A person like Mr. Tan who has experienced a lot of experience will not easily draw conclusions on anything, so he said to the village head: "Dig two more trees in a while, and pick the potatoes below. Wash it, put it in water and cook it for us to taste."

After a while, the potatoes were cooked and served hot and steaming.Mr. Tan was at a loss when he saw the layer of hemp skin on it.Baoyu just pretended not to see his embarrassment, and regardless of the heat, she reached out and picked up one, and peeled off the skin while breathing.

After taking a bite, the noodles were not as good as I imagined, but I could still eat them.Then he said to Zhuangtou, "you should bring some fine salt." Zhuangtou turned around and ordered people to go down to fetch it.

When the salt arrived, Mr. Tan and Jia Lian had already followed Baoyu's example, peeled the potatoes, dipped them in salt carefully, and chewed them in their mouths.I just feel that the entrance is still soft, with a little salt on it, which stimulates the taste buds, and both of them nod: "Very good."

Baoyu knew that these two were both masters of eating and drinking, so he was able to praise Tudou in this way because of himself, the "starter".He smiled at them and said, "Taste is still second. Look, sir, this thing hasn't grown yet, and it's just two more trees, which are enough for the three of us. The yield, sir, wants to go."

Not really.When Baoyu introduced these two things to the two of them that day, he also focused on its output.Now that I have seen it in person, even Mr. Tan has to pay attention to it: "How much can one mu get for such a thing?"

Zhuangtou said beside him: "If the second master Bao said that it hasn't grown yet, but this is the amount of four trees. It is not a problem to calculate the yield of six or seven hundred catties per mu."

Mr. Tan couldn't sit still: "There is such a production volume? Then what are you waiting for, why don't you hurry up and report it to your gentlemen."

Baoyu hurriedly said to him: "It's the first year that this thing has been planted, and I don't know if the output is stable. Also, although I heard that this thing doesn't pick the ground, I have to plant it before I know." Lin Ruhai was still counting on this thing to enter Beijing, but Baoyu didn't dare to take the lead.

Mr. Tan also knew that what Baoyu said was the right one, so it is better to be more cautious about such things.But since there are already seeds and a way to plant them, it will be easy to handle.He glanced at Jia Lian, Jia Lian understood what he was thinking, and said to the village head:

"You have to take care of these two things. And the method of planting, you can't let it out first. Remember, if you can promote you to be the leader of this village, there will be a way for your family to remain. Go plant it."

The Zhuang head was so frightened that he refused to agree, and carefully sent the three of them out of Zhuangzi.

After returning to the old house, the three of them deliberated and decided that only Jia Lian and Baoyu would go back to Beijing together, and Mr. Tan would stay in Jinling to see how the two things were produced before discussing with Lin Ruhai. How to report.

Professionals do professional things, and Baoyu knows that in the eyes of others, he is just a young man with a little talent for reading, and he can't discuss such a big matter, even if he is the first person to find out this thing.

He didn't argue, he just practiced his handwriting every day as if nothing happened.

Today is the opening day.Not only the members of Jia's family are waiting for Baoyu's exam results, but also the similar families in Jinling City are also setting their sights on the little scholar's ranking——Baoyu County Examination and Government Examination are all sixth, which is The youngest one in many years, so everyone wants to see if he can maintain this achievement. At the age of nine, he is only a scholar.

Not disappointing everyone, Jia Baoyu passed the hospital examination again and became a nine-year-old scholar!However, this ranking is a bit later than in the government test, and he won the tenth place.This alone is enough to cause a sensation in Jinling City!

Think about it, the children of other people's families started early, and when they were nine years old, they were just familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, and those who started late could not even read through.But the children of Rongguo Mansion have already won the prize of scholar.

Baoyu's light suddenly covered Jia Lian, who was also a scholar.Jia Lian's score this time was actually a little higher than in the government test, a serious 22nd place.Except for Baoyu who laughed at him in his heart, even Mr. Tan said that he was taught by Lin Ruhai.But compared with Baoyu, it is not enough at all.

The members of the Jia family who are still in Jinling also forgot that when Jia Lian first came to Jinling, he cleaned up the servants in the old house, and even let them follow along without shame. Came to congratulate with a smile.

I can't always write two Jia characters in one stroke. Even if I am not ashamed of these clansmen back then, they are willing to join with a few slaves and devour the clan's prosperity like moths. Jia Lian can't do what Baoyu does, ignoring people The appearance, but also with people hello me hello everyone hello.

Mr. Tan also persuaded Baoyu in private: "You are already a person with fame and fame, so it's not good to be like this, lest people think you are arrogant. Besides, you will always be an official in the future, and you can't think that there is nothing but black or white. , and should be as good as the light."

But Baoyu didn't take it seriously. Being an official is so tiring. Now that he has the reputation of a scholar, his reputation for writing well has spread. Maybe in the future he can also become a celebrity with this word.Who heard that famous people don't have one or two tempers?It's better to have your own wishes.

Seeing that he didn't listen to persuasion, Mr. Tan also thought that he was still a child with a temper, so he thought of this world simply.Waiting to experience this matter, it will be good to hone it for a few more days.So I didn't go too deep, but just told Jia Lian to take Baoyu with him no matter how he looked, whether he was entertaining guests or visiting people.

The Rongguo mansion over there also got the letter, and they started tossing and singing.Not to mention that Jia Amnesty's face was full of light, even Jia Zheng felt that his face was brightened, and even his face towards Mrs. Wang improved a little.

Jia's mother was even more delighted, and said to Jia She and the two: "Everything else is false. The two of them have been away for more than a year. I can't think too much. Write quickly, just say that I said Yes, let them catch up with me to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with me this year."

Jia She said with a smile: "There's no need to believe it. I think the two of them will return home after they get the result. Maybe they're already on board."

Mother Jia felt distressed: "Why do you still take the boat? Didn't Baoyu say he was seasick when he went there? How can he bear the crimes along the way?"

Mrs. Wang also wiped her eyes.Over the past year or so, she has become more and more out of power. Even Li Wan asked Jia's mother to control the internal affairs of the second room.Jia Zhu was even more chilled by Mrs. Wang's time and time again taking the future of her younger brothers and sisters, so she didn't do much to help her.Yuan Chun is also a married woman, so she has limited time to come back, not to mention she has separated from Mrs. Wang.

Thinking about it this way, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but put her mind on Baoyu. She had long forgotten that Baoyu threw jade because of her anger at a word. She only thought about being her own son, how could she not be close to herself?Besides, at such a young age, he has already gained a great reputation. Who can say that he has no great fortune!

Baoyu was struggling with seasickness again, but she didn't know that she was being missed by Mrs. Wang again.Fortunately, the symptoms of seasickness were finally alleviated this time, which made Jia Lian feel a lot easier—Mr. Tan did not come back with them this time, which made Jia Lian feel that the burden on his shoulders was two points heavier, but Baoyu’s request was not satisfied. It was too much, so I followed him.

So it became Jia Lian's task to read to Baoyu every day.It's not that Baoyu doesn't know that the smell in his cabin is bad, so he has to torture Jia Lian.But the boat trip was boring, if he didn't listen to some books, he didn't know what it would be like to be bored.

A poor Taoist is not as good as a dead Taoist. Anyway, Baoyu has cheated Jia Lian more than once, and it is not less than two days.

Suddenly arrived in Tongzhou early, the two got off the boat and changed to a carriage, and arrived outside the Rongguo Mansion in the evening of that day.Before I got out of the car, I heard the sound of firecrackers.After the firecrackers stopped for a while, I got out of the car and saw that Jia Zhu was already waiting there with a smile.Against the smoke that has not yet dissipated, there is an inexhaustible scholarly spirit, and an endless bookish romance.

Since it was a long trip before returning, Jia Lian took Baoyu and went forward to salute Jia Zhu: "Brother Labor came to pick us up, which makes us feel uneasy."

Jia Zhu hurriedly pulled the two of them up: "Both of you are up-to-date, better than me as an older brother. This time, I'm just picking up two scholars. Next time, I'm going to pick up two masters."

The three of them looked at each other and smiled, and it was still Jia Zhu who took the lead and entered the side door together.

I don't say anything about washing or not. I have to see Jia's mother first to make the old man feel at ease.The reporter over there ran very fast, and before the two of them arrived at the second gate, Mrs. Zhang had already brought Jia Mao and Jia Lan to wait at the second gate.

Others are okay, but it's just a salute.But Jia Mao is only four years old now, and Jia Lian didn't remember anything when he left. He only heard people say that his father and second uncle were both selected as scholars, and they had great abilities, but he had forgotten what his father looked like.

Hearing Jia Lan calling Second Uncle there, the little guy looked at this and then that in amazement, and then bowed cautiously to Jia Lian: "Father."

Jia Lian also missed his own son, but he was used to seeing his father's arrogance to him from time to time, and when he heard the child's call, he also put on a straight face: "Yes. Are you obedient at home? Are you sure? Enlightenment? When your Uncle Bao was your age, he was already enlightened."

Jia Mao didn't expect his father to be so strict, so he curled his mouth.I want to cry, but I also think that now that the master is not around, even if the old lady is not here, I am afraid that crying will be useless.Only red eyes.

Jia Zhu has a different heart from Jia Lian. He was reprimanded by Jia Zheng that day with a straight face, and he really disagrees with him from the bottom of his heart.He stepped forward and took Jia Mao's hand: "How old is Mao'er, how many are there like Baoyu? You are too impatient. Lan'er is two years older than him, and I don't care about him. You also Just use it here for a while, and if you do this again after seeing the elder, no one can save you even if you are a scholar."

Then Jia Lian stopped talking.He wanted to take Jia Mao into his hands, but he was a little embarrassed, so he gave Zhang Shi a sly look, as a way of saying hello to her.Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhang was about to look at him with a smile or not, as if she was asking: You have grown a lot when you go out this time.His face burned even more.

On the other hand, there is such a scammer as Baoyu. After saluting to Mrs. Zhang, he said, "Thank you for the second sister-in-law's life someday. If I didn't watch closely, the second elder brother Lian didn't know how much trouble he caused. There is trouble."

Mrs. Zhang smiled when she heard this: "Okay, someday I will cook by myself and cook a few delicious dishes. Brother Bao can talk to me about it."

Jia Lian's face hardly made Baoyu understand what he said, and he stared at him.I didn't want Baoyu to step up and walk into the Rongqing hall early, and shouted as he walked, "Old lady, I'm back, and I brought Lian's second brother back."

Jia Lian had no choice but to take Jia Mao's little hand under Jia Zhu's amused gaze, and they walked towards Rongqing Hall together.When I entered the room, I saw that Baoyu had already saluted Jia Mu, and was saluting Jia Amnesty, Mrs. Xing and his own wife.

Sitting on it, Mother Jia smiled again, with two tears in her eyes.Seeing Jia Lian coming in, he smiled and said, "Okay, okay. Another master scholar is back."

Jia Lian hurried forward to kowtow, and Jia Mao followed suit.Jia's mother laughed: "Why is Mao'er kowtowing? Do you also think that in the future, like your father, you will be selected as a scholar to show the old lady? How can the poor old lady see it?" It was really sad when she said it stand up.

At this time, Baoyu was being pulled by Mrs. Wang and asked about the length of the journey. Hearing what Jia Mu said, he felt that it was a good opportunity to break free from Mrs. Wang, so he turned around and smiled and said to Jia Mu: "The old lady is blessed with good fortune and longevity. Take good care of your body now, not to mention looking at Maoer Zhongxiucai, but there will still be a day when you drink the wine of Maoer's son Zhongxiucai."

Everyone laughed, especially Jia She's old wrinkled face was shocking: "Baoyu is accurate in her words, the old lady just waits."

Everyone nodded, and Baoyu greeted her sisters-in-law again, and her sisters again.But a good sign is Zai Daiyu, although that jade is still a little hot, but it is no longer as hot as before.

Secretly looking at the jade on his chest, Baoyu has a care in his heart.Don't look at him who has been reading and practicing calligraphy, but he never relaxes his consumption of this jade before going to bed every day.According to his judgment now, [-]% of the structure of the jade inside has been destroyed by him, just waiting for an opportunity, and he can finish the task with another hard fall.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard someone reply from outside: "Old lady, Uncle Zhen and Grandma Zhen are here."

Jia Mu hurriedly said please.Baoyu understood in his heart that it seemed that the two mansions were no longer as close as they were in the original book.If it is still like the original book, then Jia Zhen and his wife should have been waiting for themselves and Jia Lian, just like Jia Zhu and Li Wan, instead of going to the mansion to meet each other when they hear that they are back.

fair enough.Looking at Xichun, who was still indifferent when she heard her brother and sister-in-law coming, Baoyu secretly sighed, it has been several lifetimes, and Jia Zhen still seems to have nothing to do with her sister.

But now is not the time to sympathize with Xichun, Baoyu also greeted Jia Zhen at the door with Jia Zhu and others, and saluted Jia Zhen.Seeing that face that was addicted to wine no matter what, Baoyu felt that he really found a good candidate for him to throw jade!
