Chapter 184: Eulogy and Writing

Speaking of the gardens of Suzhou, there must be a Humble Administrator's Garden, which is called the two major gardens in Suzhou with the Lingering Garden, which has always been inhabited by the most noble people in Suzhou, and the Lingering Garden is now private, and the Humble Administrator's Garden has become official after the establishment of the Chinese Dynasty for more than ten years, and the successive prefects of Suzhou will live here.

Bai Liang, the current prefect of Suzhou, was born as a jinshi, and after studying in the Hanlin Academy for several years, he left Beijing to become an official, and he remained here until he became the prefect of Suzhou five years ago.

Jia Baoyu is holding a shelf, but he has neither a reputation nor a title, and it is impossible for a prefect to come to him in person.

The Humble Administrator's Garden is surrounded by mountains and rivers, exquisite halls and pavilions, and lush flowers and trees, which makes Jia Baoyu feel that this looks like the Grand View Garden after it is completed, but after looking at the plaques and couplets left by the previous owners, this trace of humanity is definitely incomparable to the Grand View Garden, which is a kind of heritage.

"It would be nice to study in a place like this! Haoran righteousness may be able to raise faster, but it's a pity that it is taken up by people who connive at the younger generations of the family like that. ”

With such an idea, Jia Baoyu saw Bai Liang, the prefect of Suzhou, and was very surprised, it was not the face of a corrupt official as Jia Baoyu imagined, but it was full of bookish atmosphere, if he just sat down, it would make people think that he was a great Confucian.

"I have long heard that Cun Zhou's second son is dignified, but I didn't expect to meet under such circumstances." Bai Liang said with a smile after gesturing to look around.

Cun Zhou is Jia Zheng's word, which can only be called by extremely close people, which adds to Jia Baoyu's surprise. "Lord Bai knows my father."

"Not only do I know each other, but I also have a lot of friendships, and my uncle and your uncle Yangzhou Salt Patrol Imperial History Lin Ruhai are still fellow scholars." Bai Liang motioned for Jia Baoyu to sit down, and at the same time poured him a glass of wine.

Ordinary people may not be able to see it, but in Jia Baoyu's eyes, Bai Liang's whole body exudes a sense of righteousness, and it is not much different from Haoran's righteousness, which can be described as the best among all the people Jia Baoyu has seen, if such a person connives, his relatives and the people, Jia Baoyu will not believe it anyway.

"Although I don't know the specific reason. But I think adults need to give an explanation. Otherwise, if my nephew does not kneel down and beg for mercy, I will not give up. ”

Bai Liang frowned when he heard Jia Baoyu's words, "Young people, don't be so angry, since you know that there are other reasons, don't ask too much." ”

"I don't know if it's angry or not. But according to the laws of the Chinese Dynasty. It is illegal to take out a private loan with interest in excess of the prescribed amount. The prefect can't hide such a thing if he wants to! ”

Bai Liang smiled after hearing this, "It's very similar to Brother Cunzhou's personality, but you shouldn't know about this." If you really want my nephew to kneel down and beg for mercy, it's okay, but I'm afraid that you will be punished by Brother Cun Zhou after you return to Beijing. ”

"Is that so?" Jia Baoyu thought for a moment, "Forget it." Then he left.

It is absolutely impossible to say that because of one or two sentences, he doesn't care about anything, but this Bai Liang's impression on Jia Baoyu is so good that he can't believe it, and he has to investigate it clearly.

After Jia Baoyu left, a person appeared in the secret place, if Jia Baoyu saw this person, he would be afraid that he would recognize it, this person was Zhao Quan, the commander of the Jinyi Army, Jia Baoyu had seen it after Yuanchun sealed the concubine.

"He's not going to be bad! White-sama. Zhao Quan had a trace of worry on his face, he had been in a place like Duzhong all the year round, and he couldn't be more clear about the situation in that place, and it was possible to make any trouble.

Bai Liang shook his head, "Don't worry! Commander Zhao, this Jia Baoyu looks like a gentleman, and his heart is like a mirror, I'm afraid that our little tricks have been seen through. ”

"Lord Bai thinks too highly of him, although he has emerged in the past two years, he is only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy no matter how he says, what can he see."

"That's just as well." Bai Liang had no intention of refuting with Zhao Quan, and said: "How is the progress of Commander Zhao's envoy over there, if it doesn't work again, I won't be able to hold it anymore, the reputation that the old man has saved over the years is about to be ruined by my nephew." ”

"Don't worry, Lord Bai, according to the informant's report, the fish has already taken the bait, and it is a great credit to become an adult in this matter."

……………………………………

Zhao Quan has always been hiding on the side, and Jia Baoyu is naturally aware of it, but in Jia Baoyu's opinion, it is normal for a prefect to have one or two masters around him.

"Second master, how is it? Did you make that rude kid kneel down and apologize. The hoe medicine and the group who were waiting outside hurriedly stepped forward when they saw Jia Baoyu coming out, and Xiangling had already asked people to escort them back to the Lin Mansion first.

"You're in a hurry than I am, go back."

From time to time, when he returned to the Lin Mansion, Jia Baoyu stopped and said to the hoe: "Find a way to find out who that Bai or something is befriending me." ”

After entering the mansion and changing clothes, Jia Baoyu arrived at Lin Ruhai's courtyard, and Lin Ruhai must have known about such a conflict with the prefect for the first time, and he also had some questions to ask Lin Ruhai.

At that time, Lin Ruhai was practicing calligraphy, and when he saw Jia Baoyu coming, he just signaled to wait on the side, Jia Baoyu walked to Lin Ruhai's side, looked at the words he wrote, and there was only one Min character over and over again, which was already written on a whole piece of paper.

"Your aunt liked to watch me write the most when she was alive, and every year on her memorial day, I would write a pair of words for her and burn them."

After a cup of tea, Lin Ruhai finally wrote it, Jia Baoyu thought he was very satisfied with it, but he didn't want Lin Ruhai to directly throw aside the hard-written words, so it can be seen that he was still not satisfied.

"Baoyu let's write one!" Lin Ruhai handed the pen to Jia Baoyu.

Jia Baoyu shook his head, "The words given to my aunt can only be written after bathing and burning incense, otherwise it will be disrespectful." ”

Lin Ruhai smiled, "I didn't know that Baoyu was so old-fashioned." ”

After washing his hands, he sat down and said: "I have also heard about today's events, and I dare not guarantee others, but Bai Liang is extremely upright, and it is impossible to do that kind of thing for the common people, I am afraid that there is a reason why you and I can't know." ”

"Baoyu is not suspicious of Bai Liang, and even if he is really a fish and a common man, I can't manage and can manage it, along the way, I've been thinking about what kind of secret things can make such an upright person willing to let his family do evil things outside and support him."

Lin Ruhai was a little surprised, but he didn't seem to be as if everything was under his control as before, and fell into contemplation, "It's definitely something beneficial to the country." ”

This is equivalent to not saying this, but Lin Ruhai also knows these things, Jia Baoyu is not disappointed, but he has already asked people to check the news, I believe that if there is enough information, he should be able to analyze some clues.

"Baoyu, you don't care about this matter, what you have to care about now is another matter." Lin Ruhai took a sip of tea and said: "Next year is the centenary of the founding of the Chinese Dynasty, according to the temper of today's saints, you should be able to open Enke, you should prepare early, even if you can't be admitted in a year, it can be regarded as an experience, and the opportunity is rare." ”

"Baoyu is already preparing, and at the beginning of this year, he will devote himself to studying in the academy and studying scientific examinations."

How could Jia Baoyu not know such a thing, he had already made up his mind to shine on Enke, such a big thing may not be said by others, but Jia Baoyu can say that with his current situation, if he can't be lifted, he can only be regarded as too incompetent.

"Write a eulogy to your aunt! At the beginning, I was just looking for someone to write it, and if I knew that you wrote it, she would be very happy. ”

"There is knowledge under the spring!" Jia Baoyu sighed in his heart, and he didn't know if Jia Min had entered the underworld.

Back in his yard, Jia Baoyu asked Xiangling to prepare for a bath, but he was calm, thinking about how this eulogy should be written, this is the first time Jia Baoyu has written a eulogy, and the object is Jia Min, so he naturally attaches great importance to it.

When the water was ready, Jia Baoyu also had a preliminary draft and took a bath quietly, which made Xiangling a little strange, although Jia Baoyu didn't really want them, but it was very rare to take a bath like this.

After bathing, he went to Jia Minling to incense, this is really the beginning of writing, a "mourning aunt text" written in one go, a total of three hundred and six crosses, take the number of a year, and there is also a sense of perfection in my heart, which is directly sent to Lin Ruhai.

After doing these things, he was undoubtedly relieved, and when he turned around, he saw that Xiangling was holding a brush and was eager to try, Jia Baoyu smiled when he saw this: "If you want to write, write it!" It's been a long time since you've practiced calligraphy. ”

Xiangling usually spends some effort to write one or two notes every day when she is in Rongfu, these days she has been outside naturally without such conditions, she is so fond of writing poetry, she definitely doesn't want to be bad at writing, she has long been itching, listening to Jia Baoyu's words, she really started writing.

Jia Baoyu approached and watched Xiangling write, the words written by Xiangling earlier were indeed not very good, but now it is beginning to take shape, but there are still some gaps, Xiangling has been imitating Jia Baoyu's font.

"That's not how it's written." Jia Baoyu stepped forward and grabbed Xiangling's wrist, and his body was close to Xiangling's back.

Xiangling's face suddenly turned red, feeling the heat of Jia Baoyu's body, and suddenly felt that it was a little hotter this day, but then his attention shifted to the words written by Jia Baoyu, only a slight change, and the words were much smarter.

"The second master is too powerful." Xiangling turned around excitedly, but forgot that the whole person seemed to be in Jia Baoyu's arms, and only turned her head, and Jia Baoyu was a stone's throw away.

Jia Baoyu's attention was also on the body of this glamorous maid at this time, and a hand holding Xiangling's wrist unconsciously slipped into the light yellow clothes, bowed her head and kissed it. (To be continued......)
