Chapter 36: The Case of Quanmei
In the early morning of the next day, after the attacker and Musk Yue washed Jia Baoyu, they were getting dressed, and they couldn't help laughing when they looked at Xiangling, who was walking out of the bedroom with two "panda eyes".
"Second master, what did you do to her last night, you look at her eyes, and the feeling is that you haven't slept all night......"
Musk Yue's personality is similar to that of the attacker, but it is more "spicy", and he joked.
Xiangling suddenly covered her eyes in shame, and she didn't know whether to run out or come forward to help.
Jia Baoyu asked rhetorically, "What do you think I can do to her?" ”
Saying this, Musk Yue herself was ashamed, glanced at Jia Baoyu, and didn't dare to make fun anymore.
Jia Baoyu glanced at Xiangling twice, and a smile appeared in her eyes, and she said to the attacker: "Give her a vacation today, let her make up for sleep in her own room, this girl is very stupid." ”
"Yes. The second master just didn't command, who would dare to call her in this house in the future. ”
The assailant laughed.
Xiangling's face next to her turned even redder.
Jia Baoyu saw it in his eyes, and said in his heart, Xiangling, this little girl, didn't seem to understand anything, why was she like a quail in the quilt last night, and he was embarrassed to do something, for fear of scaring her. Suo Xing really treated her as a bed warmer, plus a pillow, and slept until dawn......
If this girl had been a little more "sensible" last night, it would have been estimated that her status would have really surpassed that of the attacker.
Thinking of the two attackers who came in to serve him to get up this morning, his eyes were always peeking at the sheets, Jia Baoyu felt funny......
When I went to Jia's mother's room, I had a simple breakfast, and I didn't have time to talk to Daiyu much, so I went to school.
Since the three sisters Yingchun, Tanchun, and Xichun moved to Mrs. Wang's courtyard, they didn't go back to Jia's mother's house for breakfast, but at noon and evening, they still came to accompany Jia's mother to eat.
The private school of Rongguo Mansion is an independent courtyard to the east of Mengpo Zhai.
The master Liu is innocent, born in Jinshi, and a bachelor in the Hanlin Academy, even in the Hanlin Academy, he is very old and has a very high status, and he is also quite famous in the Shilin.
However, Jia Baoyu felt that he must not be good in the imperial court, otherwise he would not have stayed in the Hanlin Academy for the rest of his life to compile history and tell history, and then retired with honor......
Then again, this person who has been a scholar all his life really has nothing to say in terms of knowledge. So far, apart from Liu Qingbai, Jia Baoyu has the best contact with Jia Yucun, but the vulgar atmosphere is too heavy, and compared with Liu Qingbai, the "fairy qi" is too bad.
In comparison, Jia Baoyu actually found that he preferred to deal with people like Jia Yucun.
Because......
"Why were you absent yesterday afternoon?"
As soon as Liu Qingbai, who was dressed in a long Confucian shirt, walked into the school, he called Jia Baoyu and asked.
There was such a big movement in Rongguo Mansion yesterday, Jia Baoyu didn't believe that Old Man Liu didn't know what was going on. Besides, before he left, he called the little guy to the school and asked Jia Lan to help him ask for leave.
"Mr. Hui, yesterday there was a sudden holy parable in the house, because the father and brother Gu were not at home, the student had to take the order on behalf of the father, and then go out to inform the father. Because of the urgency, I didn't have time to say goodbye to my husband, so I had to ask my nephew to take leave on my behalf. ”
Jia Baoyu bent down and bowed.
Liu Qingbai said: "There are many people in the house, who can't pass it on on behalf of them?" You are only a schoolchild, why are you so diligent, could it be that at such an age, you are already dedicated to power and wealth?
Besides, I already have a rule, unless I ask for it first, I can't take leave!
Yesterday you were absent, thinking that there is still a reason for the incident, I will only do a small punishment, beat you five prototypes, do you have any dissatisfaction? ”
Liu Qingbai held the ring ruler in his hand and walked up to Jia Baoyu.
"Don't dare." The corner of Jia Baoyu's mouth twitched, and he obediently stretched out his hand.
To be honest, Jia Baoyu can be completely exempt from this "punishment", after all, he delayed his homework yesterday in order to complete the holy parable. Liu Qingbai punished him for this, which can be said to be contempt for imperial power......
But master and apprentice are like father and son, although Jia Baoyu can fight with reason, but in the end, even if he wins, Liu Qingbai admits his mistake, and he can't run away with a reputation of disrespecting his master.
Therefore, the best option is to accept punishment obediently.
After snapping five hands, Jia Baoyu felt that his palms were also hot, this old man Liu was unsympathetic when he beat people.
Jia Baoyu secretly scolded this damn oppression in his heart, so that these students have no human rights, but he immediately repented, if it weren't for this feudal system, how could he be the "second master of Bao", and justifiably let Mei Xiangling warm the bed?
Quickly throwing this wrong idea out of his mind, Jia Baoyu thought about it again, the five handboards were already like this, and he thought that Jia Huan often had twenty or thirty of them...... Jia Baoyu's heart was already very calm.
After Liu Qingbai beat someone, his mood seemed to change a little better, and he silently walked back to the sacred podium, slowly turned around, faced the only three students in the hall, and said, "Today, we will continue to talk about the Book of Rites, and before that, I want to tell you something else. ”
Liu Qingbai glanced at the three students who were no more than two feet away from him, and saw that they were all sitting in a precarious position, so he continued: "You Houmen Mansion, there should be a lot of drama at home, has anyone heard of the play "The Case of Quanmei"? ”
"Yes, I know!"
Liu Qingbai's class, he usually talks about it, the disciples only need to listen, it is rare to ask questions directly at the beginning, and it is also something "outside of learning", Jia Huan rarely seized such an opportunity, so as soon as Liu Qingbai finished speaking, he stood up and replied loudly.
"This drama is about the big villain Chen Shimei After becoming a colt, he didn't want his wife, and sent someone to kill his wife, the killer called, called...... Anyway, in the end, all the bad things he did were discovered by Bao Qingtian, and he was beheaded with a dog's head......"
Jia Huan touched his head, went all out to use his brain, and said the content of this play he had seen before. He felt that this play was wonderful, especially when the black-faced Bao Qingtian beheaded Chen Shimei, who looked like his second brother, it was really exciting.
Liu Qingbai frowned quietly, let Jia Huan sit down, and then added: "Jia Huan is right, Chen Shimei was just a poor man, ten years of cold windows, how difficult, unexpectedly, once he got the Tao, he was the champion of high school, he was ungrateful, not only abandoned his bad wife, in order to cover up the facts, climbed the dragon and attached the phoenix, and actually killed his wife, such a tiger and wolf's heart, a person who is notorious in crime, it is no wonder that he will be beheaded under the dragon head in the end." What can you learn from this? Jalan, tell me about it. ”
Liu Qingbai saw that Jia Lan had a contemplative look in his eyes, so he nodded.
Jia Lan got up, finished saluting, and replied: "Mr. Huiyu, the student feels that good and evil will be rewarded in the end. There are wicked people in the world, and there are Qingtian masters like Lord Bao to eliminate evil and promote good, and proclaim justice. My mother often taught me to study hard, so that I could serve the court in the future, achieve a career, and become a person like Lord Bao who punishes evil and promotes good! ”
Liu Qingbai nodded quietly, not wanting this elementary school student, who is usually silent and looks well-behaved, to have such ambitions. It's just that I hope he can always keep his heart, and he may become a Qilin son of the Jia family in the future.
did not comment on Jia Lan's words, and turned his head to look at Jia Baoyu who was looking down at the book: "Baoyu, what do you think?" ”
Jia Baoyu stood up, pressed one hand on the opening and closing "Book of Rites", and thought for a while: "Mr. Hui, the student thinks that Chen Shimei's fault is not in good and evil, but in the court and the emperor. Thinking about Chen Shimei, who is poor by nature, although she has more than enough learning, how can she withstand the sudden wealth and wealth?
The princess is not in one room. The affairs of the princess cannot be judged as a matter of one thing.
It was Renzong who didn't notice it, and easily married the princess, putting the power and wealth of the princess's mansion in front of the young champion Lang who had been poor for a long time, and lured him into the abyss.
The emperor's ignorance is the court's insight.
How glorious it is for the champion of a country to be unable to check his family history and innocence, and mistakenly make the lord of the country marry his beloved daughter to a married man. It was the officials of the imperial court who did not notice, blindly colluded with the powerful, opened the door to the horses who had no real power, and even a nest of snakes and rats, colluding with each other, and finally the situation was corrupt and the world was sluggish.
In this world, there are many evildoers, but how many people can be like the scholars of Longtu Pavilion, and how many people dare to be like him?
Therefore, instead of confronting evil with good and right and wrong, it is better to take a strategic position, eliminate maladministration, and reform the system, so that the upper and lower levels are clear, and the sea and the river are clear, so that those who are evil have nothing to hide, and those who have evil thoughts dare not take action.
The sages have a cloud that 'reach will help the world at the same time', and the students have a humble opinion, which is not to give a porridge and a meal, and kill ten or hundred villains, but to implement the policy of benefiting the country and the people in order to calm the people in the world. so that there may be no more hunger in the sight of the eyes, and that the noughty will pick up the hoe in the dominion.
This is a great good, and I feel it. ”
Although Jia Baoyu talked eloquently, the two uncles and nephews next to Jia Huan and Jia Lan had already opened their mouths in shock.
Didn't Mr. just mention the issue of Chen Shimei's ingratitude, why did even the feelings of the family and the country and the strategy of governing the country come out......
Second Uncle (Second Brother Bao) is alright?
Liu Qingbai also had an almost stunned expression, he claimed to be a famous man, but he thought to himself, he couldn't say such righteous and awe-inspiring (shameless) words.
