Chapter Forty-Eight: Own Plans
The huts are knotted, and the fences are sparse.
Jia Yucun danced the sword in the courtyard, the white sword was like a cloud, the sword light was like a dragon, and occasionally the sword qi shot out, definitely cutting off weeds, dead branches and other things, and turning the courtyard into an extremely neat one. Lin Xiuzhu waited on the side, and whenever there was a dead grass and a dead branch that was cut by the sword light, he would take a dustpan and a broom and shovel away the dirty things.
Suddenly, Jia Yucun put away his sword and stood.
The quaint and atmospheric long sword was put into the sheath casually, but he picked up the plain white folding fan and played with it, and chuckled in his mouth: "Since you are here, don't wait outside, we don't have so many politeness." ”
Jia Huan pushed the door in, and said with excitement on his face: "Teacher, something happened to Baoyu!" He said that Baoyu was 'protecting' the half-demon, Xu was excited and a little incoherent. Jia Yucun listened carefully and said with a smile: "So, I know, you go back to study." ”
"Teacher!"
"Go back to studying. ”
Compared with Jia Huan's mood, Jia Yucun's face was calm, and his usual elegant smile was still on the corner of his mouth. He saw Jia Huan go out with hatred, shook his head, and continued to look at the plain white folding fan.
Lin Xiuzhu bowed down and asked, "Teacher, Brother Huan'er hates Baoyu ruthlessly, why don't you take the opportunity to help him once?"
"How can I help?"
"Jia Baoyu humiliated himself and protected the half-demon for no reason, which is a taboo thing. As long as we criticize the outside world, his literary reputation will be bad, and his cultivation will be stagnant. Lin Xiuzhu's smile was equally elegant, as if he was not talking about people, but reasoning, "This matter is Jia Baoyu's fault, even if it is from the principles of heaven, it can't be left to him." ”
Jia Yucun looked at his disciple and smiled later, "You really think so?"
Lin Xiuzhu replied: "It is the disciple's heartfelt words, and it is not because my brother has selfish intentions. ”
"It's fine, do whatever you want, and if necessary, I'll come forward. ”
"Brother Nahuan ......"
"Ignore him. Jia Yucun sighed and said: "With Brother Huan'er's current mentality, where can he fight Jia Baoyu? Jia Baoyu is a dragon circling the mountains and forests, and he has already emerged, but he is a loach in the underground silt, and his scales and claws have not yet been born. At least you have to cross the dragon gate and be able to ride the wind and clouds, so that you can compete with Jia Baoyu. ”
"The disciple understood. ”
Lin Xiuzhu looked indifferent and left.
This is a poetry meeting.
Jinling prodigy Lin Xiuzhu is naturally the finale of the venue.
...
A poetry meeting, rolling up the snow.
There is Lin Xiuzhu, a prodigy from Jinling, a song "Sighing Snow" is only six feet high, Xuanhe is on the side, and then he attacked on the spot, and the rhetoric was fierce, no less than the word "Sighing Snow". The central capital city is widely spread and is regarded as a classic.
Generally speaking, it means that good and evil cannot be the same, good cannot be lost, and evil cannot be long, and Jia Baoyu is openly and secretly criticized for misconduct and misconduct. As a prodigy, it was the second master of Bao who has become increasingly famous recently, and for a while, it caused the limelight.
Some people speculated that it was because of Lin Hezheng's matter, but when they thought of whose disciple Lin Xiuzhu was, they smiled. How could a disciple of Jia Sanjia maliciously attack?
As a result, Baoyu's literary name became sluggish, and even went to a bad point.
...
"Master, someone outside said bad things about you!" Qingwen rushed in angrily.
Baoyu looked up and smiled, "I see." ”
"Master, Feng Lazi has robbed you of your business. After a while, Qingwen came in again to speak, and her eyes were distorted.
Baoyu still smiled: "I know...... Wait, what business did she steal from me?"
I really don't know about this.
Baoyu has never heard of criticism from the outside world, but he reads, practices calligraphy, and simmers, and the growth of talent can be reflected. Since a few days ago, the growth rate of talent has been slowing down, and today, it is only a little better than when I just learned the text, perhaps, it is not as good.
He asked Li Gui to go out to inquire and knew about Lin Xiuzhu's criticism of him.
Baoyu smiled at Qingwen, and only said how big it was, and when Qingwen brought Feng Lazi to the craftsman and robbed him of his business, she was a little concerned - the relief for the victims was not over yet, and he needed silver.
brought Wang Shanbao and Li Gui. Mingyan, the monkey who thought he was going to fight, rubbed his hands, and showed Baoyu the household goods he learned from Jiang Liu, but Baoyu glared at him and obediently followed behind.
When a few people arrived at the east city gate, they saw Liu Shengquan at the door, looking at Baba.
"Second Master Bao, I knew you were coming. "Liu Sheng is dressed in white, and he looks good, and he can't tolerate sand in his eyes. He greeted Baoyu and said angrily: "I know about the matter from Bai Huayi, but it is because of your kindness that I was maliciously attacked. It doesn't matter, I have hundreds of students and talents with Xiangxianglou, and I will definitely save your reputation. ”
Baoyu shook her head, this is okay. It's just Lin Xiuzhu, he can't put it in his eyes, he is waiting for more and better opportunities.
After appeasing Liu Shengquan, Baoyu began to ask for the account, and was shocked to hear that the silver taels earned were enough to help the victims. There are millions of victims in the middle capital, can he earn so much silver?
Liu Shengquan said with a smile: "You gave a head, naturally someone will follow the trend to please you." Those wealthy nobles and literati, in order to win their literary fame, actually gave up their mansions to accommodate the victims. There are more than 300 Dongcheng mansions, but the victims have entered the Dongcheng area, which is the first time in history. ”
"Second Master Bao, it's all up to you. Liu Shengquan flicked the sleeves of his robe, knelt down on his knees, and said: "After the end of school, I will enter Liu Shengquan and thank the second master for the great grace of the people of the world." ”
Baoyu hurriedly took a step back to the side. This Liu Shengquan is not knowledgeable enough, and his talent is average, but when it comes to worrying about the country and the people, he is also the number one in the middle capital.
Liu Shengquan stubbornly bowed again, was picked up by Baoyu, and said with a smile: "Thanks to Scrooge's financial blessing, the three hundred mansions in Dongcheng have all paid a fixed amount in our store." Feng Lazi ...... remembered that Feng Lazi was Baoyu's sister-in-law, so he smiled embarrassedly and changed his words: "Wang Xifeng also got a craftsman, but it won't be much to make some money from rich merchants in Xicheng." ”
Baoyu nodded, yes, not much. The West City is different from the East City, and those wealthy merchants are the most calculating, and rarely use outside craftsmen. No matter how busy Wang Xifeng is, it will be a profit of one hundred and eighty taels of silver at most.
He raised his head, looked at the wordless plaque on the doorman's face, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, there is no need to do the fire kang." Let the subordinates inform the mansion that has paid the fixed money, and say that the fire kang will do it, but no new orders will be accepted. Close the door and do other business in the future. ”
"Still doing business?" Yanagi was shocked.
Businessmen despise it, doing the fire kang business is for the disaster victims, no one can say anything, but if you do other business, it is for the money, and you want to destroy Baoyu's literary name.
Baoyu looked at him sluggishly and said with a smile: "A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way." Don't be afraid, just do it. Jia Yun, you also follow, so that you can assist Liu Gongzi. ”
Jia Yun nodded yes and pulled Liu Shengquan away.
...
White flowers, of course Baoyu likes it. The money earned from the fire kang business was all for the relief of the victims, and he didn't leave a penny, which made him a little pity - he still remembered the floral soft topaz square inkstone, which he liked very much.
[It's time to look at the next business, but I don't know what to make money. Literati, literati, everything you do costs money. In terms of paper, Jia Zheng sent someone to send two pieces of ten-button paper worth 50 truckloads of silver, and on behalf of Mr. Confucian, he devoted his wealth to two pieces of fine ten-button paper worth 500 taels of silver, which was also enough; the ink strip had the spirit grease ink given by the ancestors, but the inkstone was the only one...... This luxury is really flattering. 】
Baoyu thinks like this, just reading and writing every day, and doesn't hear anything outside the window.
He is leisurely, but he doesn't know how many people he is happy and how many people he is anxious about.
Lin Daiyu looked at him with gloomy eyes, and said angrily: "It's all your fault, there is no reason to help the half-demon, I don't know that the half-demon is the root of all evil, and is disgusted and rejected by the world? ”
Baoyu pursed her lips, not taking it seriously.
But when I think about it, I'm a little speechless.
He just helped the stone, didn't do anything else, and became annoying in vain. Bai Nanyan kept the stone by his side, and I heard that he also gave him a surname, called Bai Shi...... White stone, white stone, what a ...... What a cute name.
People did this, and the outside actually said: Bai Oiran is kind-hearted, and Bai is a good person. Oh my God, is it so unequal? Thinking of this, Baoyu almost laughed out loud.
Daiyu said angrily: "Are you still smiling?" The handsome melon seed face flashed with a flame similar to a red candle, and snorted coldly: "You are reading and writing now, and you don't even have one-third of the effect of some time ago." Na Lin Xiuzhu ...... Bastard!"
As he spoke, a real candle lit up in his eyes, Baoyu was startled, and hurriedly helped the person up.
"What are you doing? Don't hurt your spirit. ”
"It's nothing, it's Lin Xiuzhu, don't think about adding fragrance to red sleeves in this life. ”
Daiyu slapped him on the head coquettishly, and when it came to his hair, he was reluctant to exert himself, and finally he couldn't get angry, and went straight through the cyan gauze tent and returned to the blue gauze cupboard.
Baoyu wanted to chase in, but someone came in to pass the word, worried: "Master, the ancestor called you over." ”
"Got it. ”
Baoyu patted the assailant on the shoulder and comforted him. He knew what the attackers were worried about, what the ancestor thought, he also knew. It's just that when I think about it, it's really not time.
[It's just Lin Xiuzhu, it's nothing. Since someone has made a move on me, he has to step on a valuable head to help me reach a higher level. 】
[Impatient, this Jiafu is full of splendor, why is there no one who is patient? 】
Baoyu ate and smiled, and went along the covered bridge to Jia Mu Nuan Pavilion. As soon as I entered, I saw Jia's mother half-lying on the cyan satin backrest pillow, Mrs. Wang sitting next to her, and Feng Lazi waiting behind her - since he opened Wenshan, Feng Lazi has been a lot more honest, but recently, it seems that he is about to jump again.
He is not surprised, Feng Lazi is meticulous and scheming, but he also has big shortcomings. In Feng Lazi's eyes, his father and mother have no silver relatives for nothing.
And he just has a way to get the money.
Baoyu made a gesture to greet the ancestors, but as soon as she felt a flower in front of her, she was hugged into her arms by Mother Jia, and her heart and liver cried out in pain. He squinted his eyes and looked back, Jia Zhenggong stood on the side of the door, refusing to sit down, waiting with a bitter face.
Jia Mu hurt him for a while, and reprimanded Jia Zhengdao: "Do you know those pickled words that are said outside?"
Jia Zheng smiled bitterly: "Mother, these children have their own plans, so you don't care." ”
Baoyu followed: "I also have my own plans. ”
He and Jia Zheng glanced at each other, and they both saw a smile in each other's eyes. They are all scheming, but Baoyu turned his face away and disdained Jia Zheng.
This Jia Zheng is just a fool.
