Chapter 68: Lu Huaijin's first meeting with Jia Baoyu

At the moment of Shen Zheng, Lu Jing took Lu Zhiyu to Lin Ruhai's mansion.

After the two siblings met Lin Ruhai, Lu Zhiyu went to the backyard to find Lin Daiyu, and Lu Jing followed Lin Ruhai to the outer study.

"After a few days, is the teacher still well?" Lu Jing saw that Lin Ruhai looked good, and obviously maintained well in the past few months.

"The body is okay for the teacher!" Lin Ruhai's gloomy face showed a slight smile, since he taught Jia Baoyu a few days ago, he was very anxious in his heart, and he had a headache for Jia Baoyu's stubbornness.

Although the two did not have a major conflict, Jia Baoyu was very reluctant to study, and he also coped with his teaching, and even his attitude towards him was very perfunctory.

At this moment, he was very happy about Lu Jing's entry into Beijing, and wanted to introduce Jia Baoyu to Lu Jing, so that Lu Jing could help him guide Baoyu on the right path.

"You can be regarded as having settled in Beijing now, but Jingzhong is not as good as other places, so remember to be cautious in your actions." Lin Ruhai reminded that he did not directly mention the matter of Baoyu.

Lu Jing said: "The children remember the teacher's teachings!" ”

Lin Ruhai smiled: "You have always been calm, I just reminded you." ”

"Yu'er has been asking when Zhiyu will arrive these days, and now it's okay, Zhiyu can be with Yu'er as soon as she arrives, and the two can play together."

"What the teacher said is that Zhiyu has been thinking about Sister Lin recently, the disciple has just arrived, and there are very few relatives in Beijing, Zhiyu can be with Sister Lin, and it can also alleviate the sense of alienation when she moves into a new home." Lu Jing nodded.

"This is very good, next year there will be three people from the Gu Sulin family who will participate in the scientific expedition, and now they are living in my house, you can have an exchange!" Lin Ruhai said with a smile.

"Hehe, this is a good thing, the disciple will definitely pay a visit when he has time!" Lu Jing said with a smile, it seems that Lin Ruhai's ancestor worship has also gathered a lot of clansmen, and he has also begun to promote the descendants of the Gusu Lin family, thinking that it is for the future of the Lin family.

Now the influence of the Gusu Lin family is not as good as before, there is no one in Beijing to be an official, only the patriarch is in Jiangning Mansion and Anhui Mansion, and the highest official position is only Wupin Tongzhi.

Therefore, they were very happy with Lin Ruhai's behavior, not only strongly supporting Lin Ruhai when he worshiped his ancestors, but also letting several people who were preparing to participate in the examination of the current science and technology enter Beijing with Lin Ruhai to show their closeness.

Then Lin Ruhai and Lu Jing chatted about the recent situation, Lin Ruhai saw that Lu Jing was a little tired, so he said: "You have been tired all the way, and now you have just moved into a new home, you have a lot of things to do, and you are also relatively tired, I will not keep you as a teacher today, and I will take care of you and Zhiyu tomorrow." ”

"Thank you for your understanding!" Lu Jing said.

He is really tired these days, and when he heard Lin Ruhai say this, he bid farewell to Lin Ruhai, took Lu Zhiyu back to the house, and continued to arrange things in the house.

On the second day, Lin Ruhai held a banquet at home, one to catch Lu Jing, and the other to introduce Jia Baoyu to Lu Jing.

He wanted to take this opportunity to get close to Jia Baoyu and Lu Jing and be influenced by some scholars, so he also specially found three people from Gu Sulin's family who came to Beijing to take the exam.

After the banquet, Lin Ruhai first introduced everyone to each other.

Lu Jing was very surprised by Jia Baoyu's appearance, but he didn't expect to see this Yihong son on such an occasion.

Judging from the appearance, Jia Baoyu is indeed born with a good skin, although he is a little fat, but he is indeed a beautiful boy.

Thinking about it like this, Lu Jing can also understand, no wonder so many maids in the Jia family like Baoyu and want to climb into his bed, in addition to the bonus of identity, I am afraid that this appearance also accounts for a large proportion.

Although it was the first time to meet him, Lu Jing had collected a lot of information about Jia Baoyu in recent years, especially when he found out that he had a close relationship with Qin Zhong, and there seemed to be a broken sleeve, and his impression of him was greatly reduced.

Jia Baoyu has been very irritable recently, and was forced by his father to come to Lin Ruhai, listening to Lin Ruhai talk about those career articles all day long, if he wasn't afraid of being severely punished by Jia Zheng, he would have had a big fight with Lin Ruhai a long time ago.

He is very disappointed in Lin Ruhai now, and feels that Sister Lin should not have such a father, and he is preparing to show his ancestors and take Sister Lin back, so that Sister Lin cannot be poisoned by Lin Ruhai.

As the three members of the Lin family who accompanied the guests, they were all Lin Ruhai's sons and nephews, but they were all distant relatives, among which Lin Gu and Lin Qing were in their early thirties, and they had already started a family in Gusu, both of them came to participate in the examination for the second time, and Lin Chen was already over forty years old, only five or six years younger than Lin Ruhai, he was over thirty years old before he was promoted, and now it is the fourth time he has come to participate in the examination.

During the banquet, Lin Ruhai kept guiding Lu Jing and a few people to talk about the examination.

Lu Jing was still strange at the beginning, but later when he saw Jia Baoyu who was sitting on pins and needles, like a thorn on his back, like a fish in his throat, and frequently showed a look of disgust, he suddenly understood that Lin Ruhai wanted to use this to teach Jia Baoyu.

He was amused by Lin Ruhai's approach, I am afraid that this operation will not only not be effective, but will cause Jia Baoyu to be more rebellious.

Lin Gu and the three of them were extremely enthusiastic about Lu Jing and Jia Baoyu at the beginning, but later saw that Jia Baoyu had a bad face and ignored them, so they kept looking for Lu Jing to talk.

Especially Lin Gu and Lin Qing, they and Lu Jing are both Xinmaoke's lifters, they had seen Lu Jing at the Luming banquet at that time, Lu Jing was only sixteen years old at that time, and he was the youngest person in that department, but they didn't have the opportunity to get acquainted with Lu Jing at that time, but now they met again, and they had Lin Ruhai's relationship, and they were extremely friendly to Lu Jing.

Jia Baoyu was reluctant to come to such a banquet, and during the banquet, he listened to Lin Gu and them talk about their economic careers, his face became more and more bad, and after secretly scolding the national thief and ghost in his heart, he suddenly stood up and prepared to leave.

Lin Ruhai and the others were taken aback, and they all looked at Jia Baoyu in surprise.

Lu Jing had long paid attention to Jia Baoyu's expression, and when he saw this situation, he said: "I see that Jia Gongzi's face is not good, but he is not feeling well?" ”

Jia Baoyu snorted coldly, unwilling to deal with Lu Jing, he originally saw that Lu Jing was handsome and extraordinary, and wanted to make friends, but when he saw Lu Jing, Lin Gu and others talking about fame and fortune, they classified Lu Jing as a national thief and ghost.

Lin Ruhai's face turned blue and said: "Since you are not feeling well, wait for me in the study first, and I will tell you something later!" ”

Jia Baoyu reluctantly gave Lin Ruhai a salute, and left the banquet without looking back.

Lu Jing saw that the atmosphere was embarrassing, so he took the initiative to guide the topic and asked about the Spring Festival.

Lin Gu and the three of them made eye contact with each other, and then began to talk about their experience in participating in the examination.

Lu Jing listened very carefully, and sometimes the experience of failure can sum up the lessons.

After listening to what the three of them said, Lu Jing felt that these three people still had some knowledge, but they were a little stubborn and lacked some luck, but they didn't know what would happen to Jinke.

However, he is not very optimistic about Lin Chen, one is that he is too old, and the other is that he looks at the problem too much and follows the old-fashioned, although the court opens a department to take scholars, although he pays attention to the scholars' understanding of the scriptures, but pays more attention to the application of the scriptures, and the examination and the palace examination also pay attention to the ability to test the scholars' ability to analyze and solve problems according to the scriptures.

Because Jia Baoyu left the table halfway, Lin Ruhai's expression has been bad, and he feels very cold, he was originally a good intention, but now he has become nosy.

Lu Jing and Lin Gu took care of Lin Ruhai's face and kept actively communicating, and the banquet continued in this embarrassing atmosphere.

Lin Daiyu entertained Lu Zhiyu in the side hall, because of the small number of people, she also counted Mama Li, Mama Qi, Yinglian, Zijuan, Hongyuan, An Lan and several others, but Mama Li, Mama Qi, Yinglian and others sat in another seat, and did not join the chairman with Lin Daiyu and Lu Zhiyu.

During the banquet, Lu Zhiyu asked about Lin Daiyu's affairs in Beijing, and Hongyuan told them about their Jiafu.

Lu Zhiyu was very angry after hearing this: "Sister, don't worry, when will you see Miss Bao, Miss Shi, my sister will be angry for you!" ”

"My sister has a heart!" Lin Daiyu was moved in her heart, but she still persuaded: "I won't be in one place in the future, and there is nothing to worry about!" ”

After so many days, Lin Daiyu has already let go, thinking that there will not be many opportunities to meet in the future, and it is not worth taking seriously.

"In my opinion, my sister is still far away from that second master!" Lu Zhiyu persuaded.

"Sister will take care of herself, sister, don't just talk about me, is your painting finished?" Lin Daiyu didn't want to talk about the Jia family, so she changed the topic.

Hearing Lin Daiyu ask about the paintings, Lu Zhiyu hurriedly said as if offering a treasure to Daiyu: "Naturally, after the painting is finished, I will wait for my sister's inscription, and I will give it to my sister when I am tomorrow!" ”

"Okay, when you bring it tomorrow, let's figure out what good sentences there are!" Lin Daiyu said happily that after she came back from Jia's house, she felt very bored by herself, and she had been looking forward to Lu Zhiyu entering Beijing.

"Hehe, I'm going to bother my sister then!" Lu Zhiyu said with a smile, and then everyone said some interesting things on the way to Beijing, because Mama Li and Mama Qi were in charge, and they didn't drink or anything.

After the banquet, Lin Daiyu led Lu Zhiyu to her room and said some considerate words between sisters.

At the moment, after Lu Jing and Lu Zhiyu came back from Lin Ruhai's mansion, after explaining to his sister, he ordered everyone to go down and do their own things.

Lin Ruhai tightened his face, came to the study, and saw Jia Baoyu sitting there alone with a small face, like an angry little daughter-in-law, her heart softened, and most of her anger dissipated.

He had long heard that Jia Baoyu had never liked fame and fortune, at the beginning he only thought that Jia Baoyu was young and was spoiled too much by the Jia family, and those words were just Jia Baoyu's ignorant words when he was a child, but now looking at Jia Baoyu's attitude, he knows that his thinking has been deeply rooted.

But for the sake of his daughter, Lin Ruhai still wanted to try to change Jia Baoyu's mind, so he patiently persuaded him: "The imperial examination is the right way, if you don't get fame, how can you start a career in the future?" ”
