"Grandmother, grandmother, I don't want to go to school, I want to accompany my grandmother!"

In the main house of Rongqing Hall, Baoyu, who had just come back from playing happily outside, suddenly heard the 'bad news' conveyed by Jia's mother, and suddenly hugged Jia's mother's arm and made a fuss.

"Baoyu, don't make trouble, grandmother is reluctant for you to go to the clan school to suffer, but this is your Lao Tzu's decision!"

Mother Jia hugged Baoyu and said with relief, and directly sold the second master of Zheng.

Hearing that it was his own Lao Tzu's decision, Baoyu's cute and coquettish voice stopped abruptly.

The tradition of the Jia family is that when a son sees Lao Tzu, it is like a mouse seeing a cat, Jia Baoyu is in this situation, and he is very afraid of his own Lao Tzu and the second master.

"Don't worry, Brother Lan is going to the clan study with you!"

Jia's mother was very reluctant, and secretly scolded the second child in her heart for being ruthless, and she had to force Baoyu to go to the clan school, which was really unreasonable.

Jia Baoyu's whole spirit was sluggish, knowing that he couldn't avoid the stubble of going to school, his heart was so depressed that he almost cried and rolled on the ground to express that he couldn't go.

What's so fun with a group of scholars, it's better to be chic with your sisters and sisters at home.

Xue Baochai, who was sitting with him, was envious and disdainful, and his mood was complicated for a while.

I envy Jia Baoyu for having such good conditions, not to mention that he was born as a noble son, and he is very liked by the old lady of Rongfu, so he is regarded as an eyeball.

Now that he can go to the famous Jia clan to study, he is simply envious of the dead.

Disdainful, such a good opportunity to advance, is not happy to see Jia Baoyu's appearance?

There was a sense of unease in his heart, and the Xue family wanted to send Xue Pan to the Jia clan to study, but they couldn't find a way.

That's right, Aunt Xue really wanted to send Xue Pan to the Jia clan study, and when she first came to the capital, she would go in for a while, but unfortunately soon the clan study was rectified, and Xue Pan was directly dismissed because of her poor performance, so Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai were not embarrassed.

I didn't think anything about it before, but now that the Jia clan has suddenly risen and cultivated twelve talents in one go, the mother and daughter of the Xue family regretted it and were even more annoyed with Xue Pan.

Such a good opportunity to advance, Xue Pan didn't know how to seize it, and was extremely embarrassed and was kicked out of the Jia clan study, which made the mother and daughter of the Xue family so depressed that they almost vomited blood.

Even Xue Pan himself, after seeing the momentum of the Jia clan, regretted it, and was even more annoyed by his mother and sister all day long, and he hoped to enter the Jia clan again for further study.

He doesn't have any long-term vision, but he just thinks that the current Jia clan has learned from the cow competition, and if he becomes one of them, he will also have the qualifications to brag in front of outsiders in the future.

A group of relatives sent money to Mrs. Wang before, hoping that their children could go to the clan school to enroll, and the Xue family was also one of them, but it was unfortunately destroyed by the second master of Zheng.

At present, Baochai saw that Baoyu had the opportunity to enter the clan but did not cherish it, and at the same time he despised it in his heart, and at the same time, he also had some thoughts, did he use this opportunity to stuff his brother into it?

On the other side, the eight-year-old Tanchun also moved his mind.

If Jia Baoyu can't enter the clan study, Jia Huan, as a cousin, don't expect to be able to get in and study.

Even if the second master agrees, Mrs. Wang will do everything to stop her, who calls her a mother-in-law, and has the responsibility of 'upbringing' the concubines and concubines?

Don't look at Tanchun's single-minded follow-in footsteps of Mrs. Wang, and directly step on his mother and brother into the mud, and he still hopes that his brother Jia Huan can be motivated.

It's not that she has any family affection for Jia Huan, but she knows that once Jia Huan rises, she, a concubine who mingles in front of her mother-in-law, will have a better life.

I didn't have a chance before, but now I have an opportunity.

The second master attaches great importance to the education of his children in the next generation, as long as his mother Aunt Zhao blows a little pillow wind, it is quite easy to let his brother Jia Huan follow Baoyu to enter the school together.

After coming out of Rongqing Hall, Xue Baochai hurriedly returned to Lixiangyuan, where he lived.

"Mother, mother, is the eldest brother at home?"

As soon as she entered the door, she couldn't wait to ask.

"What's wrong with my son, why are you so anxious?"

Aunt Xue got up and walked over, sat down in front of Xue Baochai, and said curiously: "Isn't it your eldest brother who caused trouble outside again?" ”

Speaking of this, even if Aunt Xue has always preferred Xue Pan, her tone is quite bad.

Xue Pan is really a stupid overlord, taking advantage of the convenience of living in Rongguo Mansion, he soon mingled with the people of the Jia clan, eating flowers and wine all day long, and spending money like water.

Fortunately, the previous lesson of Ludi gave Xue Pan a very deep impression, and he did not make much trouble in Beijing in the past two years, but the small troubles continued.

That is, the Jia family's restraint on the children of the clan is becoming stricter and stricter, and the Jia clan who hung Xue Pan before and called the dumb overlord as a fool was recalled, and the lessons learned were much more honest, otherwise with Xue Pan's somewhat stunned temperament, he might not be able to be conceived.

But that's the case, as the only adult male in the Xue family, he needs to go out from time to time to take care of the business in Beijing, and Aunt Xue's coercion of Xue Pan is really average.

I don't know how he hooked up with the bastards on the street recently, he hasn't been at home every day recently, and the money is even more spent, and Aunt Xue's heart is very unhappy.

Seeing Xue Baochai's anxious face now, he thought that Xue Pan had caused trouble outside again, and the anger in his heart suddenly rose.

In order to settle those small troubles, the silver given to Mrs. Wang alone was almost 50,000 taels, although she knew that Mrs. Wang opened her mouth widely, but the Xue family had no connections in Beijing, so they could only honestly admit it.

Someone wants to ask, the Wang family's power in the capital is not weak, right?

Hehe, Aunt Xue herself is from the Wang family, how can she not know the greed of the Wang family?

Otherwise, their family came to the capital thousands of miles away, why did they stay in Rongguo Mansion and didn't want to move, it was not because they were afraid of being bullied, but the Wang family was the most unreliable relative.

"Mother misunderstood, it's not the eldest brother's business!"

Xue Baochai hurriedly waved his hand and explained: "It's Baoyu who has just been advised by the old lady to go to school in the clan school, and he is still a little unhappy and doesn't want to go!" ”

"Hmph, it's just that the old lady and your aunt treat Baoyu as a treasure!"

Aunt Xue sneered: "What can I do if I wander around the back house all day long, playing with a group of maids?" ”

As the saying goes, there is no harm without contrast.

If it is the same as the original book, the entire Jia family revolves around Baoyu, and all the resources are invested in Baoyu, and the rest of the Jia clan is secretly in secret, maybe Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai will treat Baoyu as a fragrant dumpling.

But now the situation is different, Jia Chung of the big house is both civil and military, and there are twelve talents among the children of the Jia family in one go, as well as more than 20 children, and the rest of the clansmen who have achieved martial arts are not a few.

Even if there is Jia Zhu in the second room, Jia Lan is also a person who can read, although Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang still regard Baoyu as an eyeball, the resources that can be invested in Baoyu are limited to the limited support of Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, and the momentum is much worse than the original book.

And Baoyu behaves like a gentleman, indulging in 'women' all day long, and can't extricate himself, and he can't see any self-motivation.

When there was a blowout of the Jia family's talents, the mother and daughter of the Xue family were all promising and outstanding young people, where would they still put Baoyu in their eyes?

is to want to marry the Jia family, there are not a few outstanding young people, and if there are enough candidates, I am afraid that Aunt Xue will be dazzling, and Jia Baoyu is not in the scope of her son-in-law at all.

"Mother, how Baoyu has nothing to do with us!"

Xue Baochai said with a smile: "But the eldest brother can take the opportunity to find a way to enter the Jia clan again!" ”

"What can I do?"

As soon as she heard this, Aunt Xue suddenly became interested, and she really wanted to send Xue Pan to the Jia clan for cultivation, which was better than not being at home all day now.

"Mother, we can't be too demanding this time!"

Xue Baochai muttered: "There is no need to count on the school specializing in the Four Books and Five Classics, not to mention the identity of our family's businessmen for three generations are not allowed to participate in the imperial examination, and the eldest brother's temperament is not suitable for staying there, maybe he can't befriend the students there, not to mention, he will also have a bad relationship with them!" ”

"Your eldest brother isn't that bad, is he?"

Aunt Xue was a little unhappy, but she didn't refute Xue Baochai's statement.

"I mean, let the eldest brother go to the Hundred Crafts Academy!"

As soon as Xue Baochai's words came out, he was immediately interrupted by Aunt Xue: "No, don't you know what the Hundred Crafts Academy is learning?" ”

"Mother, which is the difference between the way of business and economics taught by the Baigong Academy, and the martial arts?"

Xue Baochai said solemnly: "Learning the way of industrial and commercial economics is just right for our family's situation, if my brother has perseverance and good martial arts, maybe there will be a great opportunity in the future, don't forget that the second uncle is a general in the army!" ”

Aunt Xue was moved, and if she thought about it carefully, it was really reasonable.

She doesn't know what Xue Pan's temperament is, she must not be a material who can read the Four Books and Five Classics quietly, otherwise she would not have been categorically dropped out of school by the Jia clan before.

"Then how can we operate so that your eldest brother can enter the Hundred Engineers Academy?"

Aunt Xue felt that it was nothing to give it a try, so she directly asked about the feasibility of the operation, and suggested, "Why don't you go and ask your aunt for help?" ”

"No, Auntie's appetite is getting bigger and bigger, you can't beg her all the time!"

Xue Baochai shook his head and vetoed, chuckling: "This time, let's go find Big Brother Zhu!" ”

Aunt Xue's eyes lit up, why did she forget Jia Zhu, no matter how she said it, she was the eldest son of the second room, and now she was on an errand in the officialdom, and she was dragged by the second master of politics to supervise the clan study together, so she was the best candidate.

"We can't sign the contract of the school this time, but my mother doesn't have to worry, this time I will accompany my eldest brother, but there are ring brothers!"

Xue Baochai smiled and opened her mouth, seeing Aunt Xue's puzzled face, she chuckled and explained: "If Tanchun wasn't a fool, he wouldn't let Brother Huan read any Four Books and Five Classics, but went to the Baigong Academy like his eldest brother, otherwise Auntie wouldn't agree!" ”

As expected, not long after, news came from the second room, and the news that Jia Huan, the third son of the second room, was going to enter the clan school, but he went to the Baigong School!
