Chapter 237: Baoyu is a stone
"Cai'er listened, the son of Zhenggong wants to teach and educate people? But the son born of jade?" The new emperor understood, think about it, just now in school, the old lady deliberately read that Baoyu's article, Baoyu's idea is to teach, want to inherit the Jia family school. The old lady praised it, and also said that a private school is not so easy to inherit, not because your surname is Jia, but because you need more knowledge reserves and better conduct than students, so your road is tens of millions of times more difficult than being an official. The new emperor who listened to it from the outside wanted to cry, can your Jia family have something like that? Is it okay to coax a seven or eight-year-old child like this? But think about it again, isn't that the little boy who was born with a jade? The Jia family doesn't think they can't even accommodate one, right?
"His mother, who was nearly forty years old, was ashamed and let people talk nonsense. How big is a child's mouth, how can such a big piece of jade be contained?" Ou Mengmeng smiled and waved her hand, took a purse from her neck, took out the piece of jade, put it on the tray, and asked Eunuch Xia to send it to the imperial front, "You see, there is still an inscription on it, but it is just a piece of the heart of the ignorant woman in the family. Coaxing the child to make him feel that he was born extraordinary, and he can learn better and make a difference. However, Baoyu was warm and filial to his uncle, and his father was generally warm and filial, and when he saw that the old woman was seriously ill, he was busy taking the jade and giving it to the old body. Whether it is useful or not, the old body is also worn close to the body, and it should be a child's heart."
Jia Yu and Jia Zheng looked sideways at the old lady, and it took a while for Baoyu to give her the jade. Before, the old lady regarded this piece of jade as the lifeblood of Baoyu, and also regarded this as the lifeblood of Rongfu. I think Rongfu Zhongxing has to rely on Baoyu, what does this mean now? The gold tray on the jade was missing, and it was a multicolored stone the size of a pigeon's egg. Looking at it from a distance, I don't feel how glamorous it is.
"It's very exquisite, what kind of jade is used?" The new emperor took a closer look, and the Tongling Baoyu "has four characters on the front" "Don't forget it, Xianshou Hengchang", and on the reverse side there are 12 golden characters "one to eliminate evil, two to cure wrongs, and three to know the blessings and misfortunes". It is the size of a pigeon's egg, and the five colors are like a crisp. The new emperor also checked it, and felt a little handy, but it was still a little different from the jade he knew. Let Eunuch Xia show everyone to watch.
"It's our Jinling's rain flower stone, not beautiful jade." Ou Mengmeng hurriedly said with a smile, "The old surname of the Jia family Jinling, even if he has been in Shenjing for a long time, he is afraid that the child will not adapt to the water and soil, in fact, he pardons the child, and when the government is young, he also uses the rain flower stone to raise water. Baoyu is the old son of the Wang family, and he is afraid that he will be weaker than his brother and sister, so according to the customs of his hometown, he wears an object from his hometown, and he is afraid that he will dislike it, so he has been coaxing him to wear it before."
Ou Mengmeng said it very carefully, she seems to have heard someone say that the jade written in the book is similar to Nanjing Yuhua Stone, and it is suspected that it is Yuhua Stone, anyway, Baoyu is also a stubborn stone, and it is also worthwhile. And when she was chatting with her sons, she talked about it. At that time, her parents were still there, and they were busy saying that there was such a saying, taking a stone from her hometown and putting it in the child's swaddling clothes, there was a saying that she would be killed. Therefore, it makes sense to give Jia Baoyu a piece of Jinling's Yuhua Stone.
Originally, she had been looking for an opportunity to show the jade to the new emperor, and if she really handed it over, it would be a photo. On the contrary, it made the royal family feel that they had a plan, or rather, let the world think that the royal family destroyed them for the sake of this auspicious thing.
Now, she is so calm to show everyone in her hands, which is to show that this is just Mrs. Wang's old clam and pearls, which was used to cover up her ugliness and motivate her son.
The point is that although this stone is not jade, it is really a children's talisman stone. The more bland it is, the better, because in this way, it can be shown that this story is for children to play.
"Raising water?" This Xiong Er was interested, and looked at Ou Mengmeng busily. He is interested in everything that is unknown.
"Some cylinder stones will be used in the tank where the water is stored in the house, and good cylinder stones can also be used for medicine. Like Rongfu, it is made of rain flower stone, and after soaking, it can remove the disease of water and soil adaptation. In this way, it is for the sake of water! It's all passed down from the elders. Like a child who goes out far away, he must dig up a stone from the house and let them take it, and put it in a tank of water, so that they will not get sick." Ou Mengmeng hurriedly waved his hand and smiled, "Let everyone laugh."
This is true, each water tank will put a cylinder stone, and the water tank will not be changed if the stone is changed, and the Jia family will naturally not be vulgar. It just corroborates the life of the rain flower stone.
"It's no wonder that the Zixi of the Rong Mansion is more prosperous than the Ning Mansion, and the younger generations are taught." Several of the scholars of the Guozijian were busy getting up and shaking each other
The bits are all studying at home like Jia Zheng, where can I know these traditions. Now that I hear what the old lady said, I feel refreshed.
"You are all well-read people, don't laugh at the ignorance of the old body, the old body will be happy." Ou Mengmeng laughed, "Things are not valuable, children are valuable. The old body, the Wang family, just hope that the children and grandchildren are safe."
The jade was passed to Xiong Second-hand, he looked at it carefully for a long time, thought about it and said to the new emperor, "The word must be engraved, whether it is a rain flower stone, but I want to see it again, of course, it must not be a jade."
"It wasn't jade in the first place." Ou Mengmeng still has a casual face.
"Why don't you use jade?" Of course, the new emperor believes in Xiong Xing, and he can also see this, of course the words are engraved, if it can be proved that the jade is engraved, then the natural possibility is not high. The old lady said that it was a stone, and he didn't believe it very much, because how to say it, the Jia family was not poor, and when Baoyu was born, it was even more poor, so why did the Wang family use stone instead of jade.
"Children are cheap and easy to raise, and miscellaneous stones can be crushed, and if you really use jade, the child will not fall or break lightly, how unlucky." The disdain on Ou Mengmeng's face was about to overflow, "This stone can't really be broken with a hammer. Of course, the main thing is the hometown stone, which tends to disasters and avoids evil."
Zhao Chong smiled, seeing the old lady glaring at him, he hurriedly smiled, and hurriedly bowed his hand to the new emperor, "Your Majesty, the ministers have been in the Jia family for a long time, but I think that they are very subtle in raising water, everyone in Shenjing drinks mountain spring water, and there are also several wells in the house, which are also used for daily life. There is a saying that there is water in Injia Mansion, and in the previous paragraph, the old lady asked people to add some charcoal. Even if it is bitter water in Fuzhong, after being nourished, the bitterness will be greatly reduced. It's magical. The old lady said that she used charcoal to absorb the flavor, and she thought it was effective."
"Charcoal smells?"
"Charcoal is originally baked, there are many gaps inside, the most hygroscopic, moisture-collecting, there is a smell in the water, but also in the water is afraid of something invisible, with charcoal, stones to raise water. It's good to think." Can Ou Mengmeng say that suction and filtering are the knowledge points in primary school students' nature classes? It is said that it is to raise water, but in fact, it is just to use charcoal, stones, and sand to make a filtration and adsorption layer. Some trace elements in the stone are precipitated after blisters, which are beneficial to human health.
