It is said that Jia Muyou is not dead and wants to let Su Zheng get started with Baoyu. Jia Huan didn't know how to talk to the old man! In the current situation, the old man obviously didn't have the interest to say anything, and he didn't occasionally mention Baoyu on weekdays. But he thought about it for a long time, and he really couldn't find a way. The next day, I went to Su Mansion for routine relief, and after being entangled for a long time, I said stubbornly: "Sir, there is something that the disciple doesn't know what to say. ”

Su Zheng looked at him and said, "I see that you are restless today." ”

Jia Huan hung his head and gritted his teeth: "My grandmother ordered me to come and tell my husband if I can accept Brother Baoyu as a disciple." ”

Su Zheng raised his eyebrows: "What?" ”

Jia Huan said quickly: "I said it horizontally. Then he pursed his lips and stood beside him.

Su Zheng suddenly felt amused: "Your grandmother didn't order you to do this?" ”

Jia Huan said: "No. She thinks that everyone in the world will like Brother Baoyu, just mention it, and you will be very happy. ”

Su Zheng snorted: "Did your father also order you?" ”

Jia Huan said: "I have passed twice, and I have let Cong'er try to fool me." You have been missing for a long time, and Brother Baoyu also returned home from Yuntai Academy when the first emperor died. Therefore, he hasn't remembered it for the time being, but he will be able to remember it in a few days. ”

Su Zheng glanced at him: "Can't you fool around?" ”

Jia Huan said honestly: "If Brother Baoyu says that it is not good for him to worship you as a teacher, I really can't argue with reason; If the gentleman says that you are bad, I don't want to speak ill of you. ”

Su Zheng smiled and took a sip of the teacup and said, "What kind of brother are you?" Listen to what your brother said casually, as if he did not understand things very well. I saw him quietly that year. ”

Jia Huan thought for a while and said, "Compared to me and Cong'er, Brother Baoyu is kind and upright. He is gifted and intelligent, not to mention 10,000 times smarter than me. ”

Su Zheng frowned, the old man was sick.

Jia Huan continued: "Actually, he is very transparent, really transparent, a natural and clean person, and he hates to carve hypocrisy. The so-called extreme must be opposed. The world is not naturally clean, and if it is too natural and clean, there will be something wrong with it. In the early years, Baoyu's brother was the phoenix egg of the house, the flower in the greenhouse; Later, the uncle became stronger, and our second room was weak, so he moved to the outside of the greenhouse. Although it is not dead, it is still a flower, not a tree. I'm not as clean as he is; But my son may not be able to call the shots about his affairs, and he probably can't intervene in his own affairs. When Cong'er and I encounter troubles, we will discuss ideas to solve them, and he will do nothing but cry and write poems; If the matter is too big, so big that he really doesn't want to do what the old man and ancestors say, he is afraid that he will become a monk and avoid it. Cong'er and I have a lot of headaches for him. ”

Su Zheng thought for a moment when he heard this: "Hearing you say this, it's just a scholar with a soft personality and a little dull, but it won't give you two a headache." ”

Jia Huan smiled bitterly: "It's been a little better in the past few years, and it's only a little better." Once upon a time...... I really don't know what to say. He is unguarded, unwilling, untrustworthy, unyielding, and inherently benevolent. The pity and cherishing of jade is to respect and trust beautiful women when they see them. The current situation of our family...... Sir knows that too. Big families lack anything, and there is no shortage of all kinds of beautiful women! Fortunately, no one paid attention to him at the moment; If anyone pays attention to him, he is one of the biggest flaws in our family. In the early years, Cong'er and I felt numb when we thought of someone he might become, be seduced by someone or do something bizarre! I can't ignore him alive or dead. Cong'er once said that the most terrible thing is not the pig teammates, but the glass pig teammates - they can't help but add to the mess, and they are easy to break, and the broken glass ballast is still on the ground. ”

Su Zheng laughed "poof" and said, "That's it, I know what your brother looks like." You are so young and old, you are a brother to the family! It's really weird. ”

Jia Huan sighed: "Where do the two of us like to intrigue with these princes and fathers-in-law outside? The capital is full of jackals, tigers and leopards, if we don't step forward, the family is not sure. Sir, the youth is forced! ”

Su Zheng suddenly felt that the disciples were pitiful, and couldn't help but reach out and stroke his head, and Jia Huan took the opportunity to pouting and pretending to be pitiful. Su Zheng said again: "Your Lao Tzu is a person who can't do anything, Jia pardon me looks quite appropriate." ”

Jia Huan said: "Uncle he is an old man, and his fighting spirit has long been exhausted, and he can't defend or attack." The situation is like sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat. I won't tell you the truth, many people think that our family is smart about the treasury money, but in fact, it was the sage who ordered Uncle Lin to ask for debts, otherwise his old man would not have thought of this matter, so it can be regarded as a crooked fight. ”

Su Zheng was stunned, a little suddenly realized, and a little ridiculous, and said: "He still understands things after all." The saint also asked others for debts, why didn't anyone pay back the money? ”

Jia Huan said casually: "Therefore, cowardice has the advantage of being timid." He said that it was too contrary to his intentions to slander himself.

Su Zheng thought for a while and said, "Since it is your grandmother's father's intention, you can't get around it, so let Ling Zun lead him to see me." If you want me to accept it, you have to put it to the test. ”

Jia Huan nodded, and said, "Sir, are you ready to accept him?" Don't see him if you don't prepare to take it. Otherwise, he will have to be sad for a long time at that time, and I will not persuade or persuade him. ”

Su Zheng only felt a little strange when he heard this, and was about to speak, when he suddenly remembered something and asked, "You have always said that your grandmother and Ling Zun, could it be that he himself did not have this intention?" ”

Jia Huan said: "Where would he have such thoughts!" He didn't know about it. My brother is not very motivated. ”

Su Zheng blurted out: "How can this be reasonable! ”

Jia Huan hurriedly said: "No desire, no desire." ”

"Even the matter of going to school is read by my father and grandmother, what does he think about every day?" Su Zheng shook his head, "In that case, let Ling Zun bring his homework." ”

Jia Huan agreed, coaxed the old man for a long time, and went home.

Jia Huan was originally kind-hearted and wanted to save face for Jia Baoyu; Who knew that Jia Zheng heard that Su Zheng wanted to read Baoyu's article, and was overjoyed, so he immediately ordered someone to call Baoyu over, let him prepare clothes and articles, and ordered Jia Huan to say more about Su Zheng's preferences. Jia Huan naturally knows everything and speaks endlessly. Baoyu also knew that Su Zheng was a great Confucian, so he hurriedly went back to the detailed preparatory articles and poems without mentioning them.

Three days later, Jia Zheng led Jia Baoyu and Jia Huan to accompany them to Su Zheng's mansion.

Su Zheng saw that Baoyu was born white and pure, and her appearance was excellent, so he praised a few words. Jia Huan said enviously on the side: "I heard from the cousin of the Gao family that the second brother looks very much like my grandfather when he was young. Jia Zheng echoed and couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Su Zheng took his article and took a look. Sure enough, Wen is like his person, a gentle courage, a delicate heart, but useless. Nai Dao: "Second son Jia, do you prefer Zhuangzi?" ”

Baoyu was overjoyed and said, "Yes." Loved by late life. ”

Jia Huan couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth. Su Zheng smiled when he saw it: "Don't Huan'er like Zhuangzi?" ”

Jia Huan's eyelids jumped, and he said in his heart, why did your old man come and pull me again! I had to be honest: "It's not that I don't like it, it's just that I like it generally." ”

Su Zheng couldn't help but smile and asked him, "What is a general like?" ”

Jia Huan glanced at the old man complainingly and said, "It's like seeing a very fine jade on the street, I like it, but I don't think about buying it." ”

Su Zheng asked: "If you like it, why don't you want to buy it?" ”

Jia Huan said: "That kind of jade must be extremely expensive, and the disciple is not willing to spend so much money to buy a thing that can only be put on display, and it is useless." The disciple didn't think it was a good deal. ”

Su Zheng said: "If everyone thinks like you, wouldn't the jade be unsellable?" ”

Jia Huan said: "I have others who are extremely wealthy, and they regard ten thousand taels of gold as ten copper coins, and they can buy them casually." It's like I'll spend 10 copper coins to buy a sugar gourd. ”

Su Zheng couldn't help but show smugness on his face, and turned his head to look at Baoyu again: "Zhuangzi is not for material service. It's just that where do ordinary people not have to be servitude? Those who are not servitudes are only those who have great ability or those who have a very high status, as Huan'er said, regard ten thousand taels of gold as ten copper coins. Ordinary people, learn from small profits, delve into flattery, in order to understand the world, practice human feelings, in order to seek the economy. I see that your article has the meaning of 'seeking self-purification', and this article needs to be changed. Jia Zheng twisted his beard and nodded repeatedly.

He just talked about the "career economy", and Baoyu's face was already a little unsightly; The back is getting uglier and uglier.

Jia Huan couldn't help but say: "Second brother, even if Mr. Su's words are a little unsatisfactory to you, you have to pretend to be humbly taught." ”

Baoyu stood up and said, "I don't pretend to be a late student. ”

When Jia Zheng heard this, he shouted "ignorant karma", and was about to stand up to play a round, Su Zheng waved his hand to him and asked Jia Huan: "Huan'er, will you pretend?" ”

Jia Huan pouted and said, "I will." ”

"How did you learn to pretend at such a young age?"

Jia Huan said: "There are always times when you have to coax others against your will. ”

Su Zhengnai looked at Baoyu and said, "Why doesn't Bao Second Master have it?" ”

Baoyu said: "I'm not used to saying things against my heart. ”

Su Zheng looked at Jia Huan again: "Why is Huan'er used to it?" ”

Jia Huan muttered: "There must be someone in the family who is used to this......

Su Zheng sighed and asked Jia Zheng: "Zhenggong, how old is Huan'er?" How old is Ling Ergongzi? ”

Jia Zheng was speechless. Half a day before he said: "Baoyu has been raised by his ancestors since he was a child, and he is a little used to it, and it will be good to understand things after two years." ”

Su Zheng said indifferently: "Two more years?" He was seventeen years old, but he relied on a fourteen-year-old brother to protect him from the wind and rain. Zhenggong, with all due respect to the old man, your mansion is now supported by a small child in Huan'er. In the palace of the virtuous king, he went to inquire about the news; In the family of the powerful, he also carefully accompanied the conversation; In the market, he mingled with peddlers and pawns. The situation in the DPRK is turbulent, and the danger is like a tired egg, how difficult! Nai turned his head to look at Jia Baoyu, "Huan'er said that you are a natural and clean person, and you hate carving hypocrisy. This is because you have a soft temperament, and if you are arrogant, you will be a madman. Don't forget, Youheng is a well-known madman. ”

Baoyu had already heard what he meant, and lowered his head and said, "I don't dare to beat the drum and scold Cao in my later life." ”

Su Zheng said: "Although you don't dare to beat the drum and scold Cao, you won't endure the humiliation of the thief." Let me ask you, if Fang Xiong took a fancy to the exquisite and chic house in your house and wanted to force you to move out and vacate it for him, how would you stay? ”

Baoyu was stunned. After a while, he said, "He didn't!" ”

Su Zheng said: "I heard that Fang Xiong did not raid his house in Beijing. If he does, how will you be? ”

Baoyu thought for a long time, gritted his teeth and said, "I'd rather die than obey!" Even if one dies on a stone lion, it is a soul! I don't believe he can live in peace. ”

Jia Huan couldn't help it, and rolled his eyes: "Spend the evil belly with the heart of a scholar!" He kills people like hemp, and there are countless unjust souls under him, there are not many of you, and you have to line up if you want to seek revenge from him! ”

Su Zheng smiled and asked him, "What about Huan'er?" How are you staying? ”

Jia Huan said: "Let's go and shoot the horse first, nonsense, what is the feng shui in our house that does not match him, and he will be defeated like a mountain if he lives in." ”

Su Zheng said: "What if he doesn't agree? ”

"The capital is so big, we can always find a better yard and garden than our house, pick a family that does not have an elderly person over 70 years old and a child under 10 years old, and encourage him to take that house."

As soon as these words came out, even Su Zheng gasped. Su Zheng raised his eyebrows and pointed at him, "What did you say?!" ”

Jia Huan said: "Li Dai Tao Stiff." Benevolence, righteousness, etiquette and faith in prosperous times, swords, guns and swords in troubled times. Although others didn't mess with me, I didn't mess with anyone, and it was the same for whoever suffered innocently. My grandmother is eighty-one, and my nephew is twelve. When you can't take care of it, you should focus on your own family first. Sir, there is a proverb in the English country that says, give people roses, and your hands will have fragrance. And most of the things in the world are that the garden is planted with roses, and there is a lingering fragrance in the neighborhood. If the neighbor thinks that the incense in the courtyard of the neighbor is not pleasant, he should have planted a pot himself, not me and gave mine to him. The latter words do not match the previous one at all, and there is a vague sense of the same. Jia Huan was purely concerned about him and diverted Su Zheng's thoughts.

Su Zheng really let him be crooked, and it made sense after thinking about it, but he didn't know how to refute it for a while.

Jia Baoyu said: "What you said is not right. If Fang Xiong had already taken a fancy to others, he would have harmed others; If you pry it, you are harming others. ”

Jia Huan almost wanted to kick him! It was easy to fool Old Man Su, and after hearing this, the old man's eyes immediately lit up. I had to say: "Then according to your wishes, even the old ancestor took Lan'er to death together, and then Fang Xiong sent someone to clean the body and live in it?" ”

Baoyu hurriedly said: "Naturally not! I only said that I was killed by one person, don't bring others to be tired! ”

"After you died alone, the old ancestor watched as your body was swept away by Fang Xiong, and he lost about half his life. If Fang Xiong is happy, Lan'er and I will work together to carry her old man to live in the temple; If he is not happy, he thinks that you have polluted his yard, and he cuts down all of our family with a knife, and there is not even a corpse to collect. ”

Baoyu stumbled and said, "I only said don't hurt anyone!" ”

Jia Huan spread his hands: "You have an idea!" How, exactly? ”

Where did he come up with the idea? I was choked and speechless for a long time.

Jia Huan said: "If others are righteous with me, naturally I will be righteous with them." Most of the people in the world today are not benevolent, so how quickly and how quickly they die if they are righteous alone? When he met Fang Xiong as vicious and different, self-protection in the sinister realm was the first major thing, and he couldn't care about it. I'm not done yet. If our mansion moves out honestly and gives up the Rongguo Mansion to Fang Xiong, if others don't say it, the old ancestor will be angry to death. I picked a family with no old people and young children and instigated him to take it, but if there was no brother Baoyu like that in that family, eighty percent could only swallow the humiliation and move away, and I would quietly give them some silver. I can give more, which is to thank them for preventing the disaster for us. Though they are innocent, they do suffer because of me; As I said, I can't care about that season. ”

The room was quiet again.

Jia Huan sighed lightly: "Brother Baoyu! You don't hurt anyone, someone harms you. You can't just stand and let people hurt, right? You have to be clean, I have to be unclean. Who made me your brother? Jia Huan really doesn't have much brotherhood with him, but he just can't ignore him. These words made Baoyu Jia Zheng's tears fall.

After a while, Baoyu sighed and said: "The mansion is only handed over to you, this kind of dirty world, it is better to be a monk." ”

Jia Zheng was in a hurry, and before he could speak, Jia Huan hurriedly said: "You first take a concubine and give birth to a son and then leave the house." My lord and me; Old lady and wife, you can't live without any of them, and you have a son for them, and they also have a thought. Don't expect me to honor my wife; I honor her, I'm not you, she still can't live. ”

Baoyu was dumbfounded! He stumbled to his feet and said, "Why can't you even escape from the world and get clean?" ”

Jia Huan said: "The ancients have to pay it back. You have been loved by her for two seventeen years, and you want to leave if you don't pay it off? There is nothing so cheap in the world! If you want to be carefree, pay off your debts first. ”

Baoyu was dumb again.

There was silence in the room for a long time.

Su Zheng remembered at this time, Jia Huan and Jia Cong's brother asked someone to rescue a group of their elders from the edict, and heard that they had forged the holy decree! Fang Xiong killed many people in the capital, and these thirteen loyal and good people and their entire families were saved. Huan'er Fangcai's idea is not good; As he said, in that situation, he couldn't care about protecting his family. Nai sighed and asked Baoyu: "Second Master Jia, if you want to study with me, are you willing to go with those thoughts from the past?" From now on, the world is full of knowledge, and the practice of human feelings is the article. ”

Baoyu lowered his head and thought for a long time, and said admittedly: "I'm afraid I won't be able to get rid of it." ”

Su Zheng nodded and said to Jia Zheng: "This son has nothing to do with me. The world is sinister. Let him read and write poems at home, and don't make friends with nobles indiscriminately, for fear of causing trouble. ”

Jia Zheng finally sighed and said to Su Zheng: "The political calculation is understood. Baoyu, this child, is not as good as Huan'er. ”

The father and son of the Jia family then said goodbye and left.

Coincidentally, only a few days after this incident, there were vast masters and misty real people pinching their fingers to calculate the time, although they knew that there were people who did not know the origin of the world to disturb the world, and they wanted to go to the Shenying attendant and cross to him.

Baoyu was surprised to see the two of them, but he was still polite. Listening to the two of them say "let us go" for a long time, he only shook his head and said: "The previous debt is unpaid, and I dare not die." "Jia Cong, the bear child of the Red Mansion
