Not long after, Wang Xifeng saw that Cai Ming was walking in from outside, and Wang Xifeng hurriedly called Cai Ming over.

It turned out that Wang Xifeng sent Cai Ming to inquire about the news.

Wang Xifeng was illiterate, but she had to keep accounts and read bills, but it happened that Ping'er next to her was also illiterate.

So Wang Xifeng brought this literate boy Caiming who could read and write.

These two years of lottery will be released when they are old next year.

It happened that Lai Wang had just been beaten to death by Jia Huan, and this Cai Ming became a useful person by Wang Xifeng's side.

Hearing Wang Xifeng's summons, Cai Ming hurriedly came over and saluted: "Second grandmother." ”

Wang Xifeng smiled and asked, "How is it, Baoyu has passed the test?" ”

Cai Ming replied: "Second grandmother, Second Master Bao has never taken the exam!" I heard that Mr. Guozijian commented that Bao Er Ye is that rotten wood cannot be carved, and mud cannot support the wall. ”

What?

Didn't even pass the screening exam?

After learning the news, Wang Xifeng couldn't help but be speechless for a while.

Is Baoyu such a waste?

What has he read in the past two years in Guozijian?

The old lady and Mrs. always thought that he would definitely be able to pass the top prize, that's all?

Wang Xifeng waved his hand and sent Caiming away, but he was thinking about how to tell Jia's mother the news.

After thinking for a while, Wang Xifeng turned around and walked into the Rongqing Hall.

Seeing Wang Xifeng coming back, Mother Jia knew the result, and she asked with a smile: "Brother Feng, how is it, Baoyu can pass?" ”

Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "Ancestor, for some reason, Xu is the reason why Baoyu did not play well. I just found out that Baoyu didn't take the test this time. ”

What?

Hearing the news, Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang couldn't help but stand on the scene and couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.

They categorically couldn't believe that this news was true, their Baoyu was extremely smart, ten times higher than Brother Huan'er, how could they not even pass the Guozijian screening exam?

Isn't it a big joke in the world?

Jia Mu couldn't help but say: "You are also useless, you must be the same as the kid who came to the Wang family at the beginning, Brother Huan'er obviously won the first place in the exam, and sent him to see the list and came back to say that Brother Huan'er was not successful." ”

"Now that I've sent someone to inquire, how can my Baoyu fail the test?"

Wang Xifeng only slandered in his heart, and he didn't dare to distinguish it.

Jia Muguo sent someone to inquire about the news again.

In Rongqing Hall, Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang's faces were pale, although Jia Mu didn't believe it, but she really believed it in her heart.

The room was silent, and even Wang Xifeng didn't dare to gag casually.

Half an hour later, the person sent by Jia's mother came back to report the news, and Baoyu really didn't pass the test.

Jia Mu's face darkened, and she instantly aged a lot.

Mrs. Wang's face was pale, her body was shaky, and she almost wanted to fall.

The little girl behind her was bluffing, and she was busy reaching out to help.

Mrs. Wang staggered to her feet, said goodbye to Jia's mother, and left in embarrassment.

Let's say that in Mengpo Zhai, Jia Zheng also got the news, and he was so angry that he trembled all over, and his hands and feet were cold.

He scolded sharply: "Go to the Guozijian and tie that little animal back!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

Here, Jia Zheng had already asked the little guy to prepare ropes and sticks.

This time he didn't need to be a small man, and he clenched the stick in his hand.

Baoyu didn't take the test this time, which really broke his heart.

What has this little animal been reading in the past two years? Can't even pass the screening exam?

This time, he had to break his leg.

There is no need to go to Guozijian to study in the future.

Jia Zheng has decided to resign from the government and concentrate on teaching Baoyu to read at home.

From now on, he will stare at it day and night, not believing that this rebel will not be able to read a famous name.

Let's say that Jia Zheng's servant went to the Guozijian and called Jia Baoyu out.

The bluffed Jia Baoyu trembled and almost wanted to fall.

Then, Jia Baoyu was escorted back to Jiafu by Jia Zheng's servant.

And although Jia Baoyu is a young master, he doesn't dare to resist at all in front of Jia Zheng's little servant.

Along the way, Jia Baoyu secretly complained in his heart.

It's over, it's over!

This time, I'm afraid I'm going to be beaten badly.

The pain of the last two beatings is still vivid, and now that I think about it, I still have palpitations.

At the thought of being beaten like this again today, Jia Baoyu's heart trembled with fright.

Not long after, Jia Baoyu was escorted back to Jiafu.

But fortunately, Jia Mu had expected this scene and sent someone to wait at the door early.

After seeing Jia Baoyu being escorted back, the maid hurriedly reported to Jia's mother, and Jia's mother hurriedly followed.

In fact, the first few times Jia Baoyu was beaten, it was Jia Zheng who had a time difference, and he could only be beaten hard without Jia's mother knowing.

Now that Jia Baoyu failed to pass the screening exam, Jia's mother had long expected that Jia Zheng would beat Jia Baoyu, where would she let him fight?

Therefore, when Jia Baoyu was escorted to Jia Zheng's study, Mengpo Zhai.

When Jia Zheng saw Jia Baoyu, his eyes were red, as if he had seen an enemy, and he didn't ask him how he had studied in the past two years, and why he couldn't even pass a small test.

Jia Zheng shouted loudly: "Come on, tie up this rebel and hold it down!" ”

While eagerly raising the stick in his hand, this moment, he has been waiting for a long time.

At this moment, Jia Mu came from outside angrily.

"Which one are you going to fight?"

When Jia Zheng heard Jia Mu's voice, he turned around and looked at Jia Mu with an angry face, and he couldn't help but be discouraged.

He threw away the stick in his hand and fell to his knees, crying out loud.

The cry was so terrible that it was like a cuckoo crying blood, which was unbearable.

Jia Zheng cried and said: "Mother, every time your son wants to beat this rebel, you always protect him. You only ask him if he is forgivable? ”

"He studied in Guozi for two years, but he couldn't even pass a small exam, and what did he say to go to the township exam and win the top prize?"

"In the past, the ancestors always said that he was young, and now he is almost to the age of the weak crown, if he is placed in a poor house, I am afraid that he will already marry a wife and have children, but he is still so unmotivated."

"If this absurdity continues, what will happen in the future? Could it be that he has been messing around in the boudoir all his life? After a hundred years of my mother, my wife and me, how can he stand? ”

"Mother, the child only asks you one thing, with his current temperament, can he keep the family business?"

Next to him, Jia Baoyu, who was kneeling on the ground, listened to Jia Zheng's words, and he was also discouraged.

It wasn't because he was ashamed, but because he heard Jia Zheng say that he had already reached the age of marrying a wife and having children, could it be that he had been messing around in the boudoir all his life?

Why not?

I just want to in the boudoir for the rest of my life!

However, it suddenly occurred to him that he couldn't do it after all.

He likes Sister Lin so much, but Sister Lin still betrayed him, and she actually got along with the damn Huan Laosan.

The second sister has already married, and I heard that the third sister also wants to be allowed to be married.

After another year or two, I am afraid that the sisters around me will marry one after another.

He was left alone, like a lonely ghost, and it was better to be dead.

In a trance, he suddenly remembered the funeral words made by Sister Lin.

Try to see the remnants of spring flowers gradually falling, that is, when the red face dies of old age. Once the spring is full of red and old, the flowers fall and people die without knowing.

Thinking of such a situation, Jia Baoyu mourned in her heart and couldn't help crying loudly.

When Jia's mother heard Jia Zheng's words of blood and Jia Baoyu's cry, she couldn't help but shed tears.

She couldn't help but say: "Zheng'er, every time Baoyu is disobedient, you have to beat him, but you have beaten him so many times, have you ever beaten him?" ”

"Now that Baoyu also knows that he is ashamed and repents, as long as he studies hard in the future, why do you have to beat him?"

"Baoyu, tell the master quickly, saying that from now on, you will change your mind and face, and you must be admitted to the fame to fight for the master."

Jia Baoyu, who was grieving, after listening to Jia's mother's words, hurriedly collected her tears and hurriedly said: "Ancestor, I don't study, and I don't want to test the fame of Na Laoshizi." I only stayed at home and honored my ancestors, my lord, and my wife. ”

Jia Zheng had been softened by Jia Baoyu's crying, and was persuaded by Jia's mother to change his mind, but when he heard Jia Baoyu's words, he was so angry that he didn't come up in a breath.

He stretched out his finger and pointed at Jia Baoyu tremblingly, and his body fell backwards.

In a panic, the little guy behind him hurriedly helped him to prevent him from falling to the ground.

Jia's mother was busy ordering someone to carry Jia Zheng to the bed, and ordered someone to ask for a doctor.

After being busy for a long time, I finally invited a doctor, and after some diagnosis and treatment, I settled down.

Jia Baoyu had already been let go by Jia's mother.

Jia Zheng lay on the bed, looking at Jia's mother, there were many things to say in his heart, but he couldn't say it for a while, and finally turned into rolling tears, flowing down his eyes silently.

Looking at Jia Zheng's appearance, how can Jia's mother feel good?

She couldn't help but say: "Zheng'er, your mind, how can you not understand the truth of being a mother?" ”

However, the mother suddenly figured out one thing, is Baoyu's talent really ten times that of Brother Huan'er? Brother Huan won six yuan, but he was the first person in thousands of years. ”

"If Baoyu is ten times smarter than Brother Huan, Baoyu is no longer disgusted with reading, can't he even pass a small test?"

"The old body thinks that we are afraid that we have all been coaxed by Brother Huan! Where does Baoyu have such intelligence? ”

"Brother Huan'er said this that day, I'm afraid that I didn't deliberately coax you to send him to the Guozi Prison, so that Baoyu won't pester Yu'er every day."

"Baoyu is a smart man, but he may not be able to read well. I know, you want to say that as long as he cantiltens his head and studies hard every day, he will definitely be able to make a future. ”

"However, wasn't Zhu'er forced to study so much by you back then, and finally burned out her body? Now that you are such a son, if he has a good one, wouldn't you be the last one? ”

Hearing Jia Mu's words, Jia Zheng couldn't help but fall silent.

At this time, they all ignored that in fact, they still had a Jia Lan in the second room. Even if Jia Baoyu is really dead, he will never be extinct.

Jia Mu said again: "Zheng'er, what about you when you were young? Didn't you get a name for yourself? Baoyu may not be the material for reading, so why bother him again? ”

"Now that he's older, he's old enough to get married. Since he didn't pass this small exam, if he wants to take the exam, he will have to wait another three years to succeed. Why don't you set a family business for him and let him start a family first? ”

"The so-called starting a family and starting a business is to start a family first and then start a business. When he became a family, he couldn't say that many small problems would be corrected. ”

Most people in the world have a blind confidence mentality towards their children.

This is also the reason why Jia Huan was able to coax Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang and others to believe it to be true.

But today, Baoyu couldn't even pass a small test, and Jia's mother realized that she had been coaxed by Brother Huan at the beginning.

And now, I can't help him.

And since Baoyu is not a material for reading, if you want to pass the exam, I am afraid that you don't have to study hard for ten or twenty years to have the hope of gaining fame.

Where is the use of this in their house?

Therefore, Jia Mu didn't want Jia Baoyu to continue reading.

After listening to Jia's mother's words, Jia Zheng pondered for a long time, and finally sighed: "Everything is up to my mother." ”

Well, Jia Mu's words moved Jia Zheng as well.

It's just that he can't calm down in his heart.

It's not easy to face up to your child's mediocrity, especially if you have high expectations at first.

After persuading Jia Zheng, Jia's mother was in a good mood.

She hurriedly went to Baoyu's house, and when she saw Baoyu, she took him by the hand and said:

"Baoyu, I have already told you Lao Tzu that from now on, you don't have to go to Guozijian to study. In the future, you can play with whichever sister you want. ”

Hearing Jia Mu's words, Jia Baoyu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Ancestor, is this true?" You really didn't coax me? ”

Jia Mu smiled: "What do you mean by this, did I ever coax you to fail?" ”

Jia Baoyu suddenly said in surprise: "Ancestor, great! ”

Jia Mu took Jia Baoyu's hand and said with a smile: "Not only that, but I also told you Lao Tzu that I want to say a family affair for you." Do you have a girl you like? ”

Hearing this, Jia Baoyu suddenly became shy.

After a while, he said: "Ancestor, I want to marry Sister Lin." ”

Not again!

Mother Jia's face sank and said, "The Holy Lord has already issued an order to marry your sister Lin to Brother Huan'er. Don't say such foolish things again in the future. ”

"If it spreads, not only will you suffer, but our entire Rongguo Mansion will end up with a raid on the family."

Jia Baoyu was taken aback, and was immediately blown away.

He muttered, "If I can't marry Sister Lin, I'd rather not marry." ”

Jia Mu couldn't help but shout: "Baoyu! ”

This sound of breaking off suddenly frightened Jia Baoyu's heart and liver.

A big face turned pale with fright, this was the first time that Jia Mu reprimanded him so harshly.

Jia Mu sighed and asked softly, "Baoyu, don't think about your sister Lin." By the way, don't you like Sister Bao too? How about letting you marry your sister Bao? ”

Mother Jia doesn't like Xue Baochai, just as Mrs. Wang doesn't like Lin Daiyu.

Mrs. Wang called Xue Baochai a treasure girl, and Lin Daiyu called Lin Da girl.

Mother Jia called Lin Daiyu Yu'er and Xue Baochai as Miss Xue.

This love and hatred from far and near, you can know it when you hear it.

Mother Jia originally liked Lin Daiyu, but now that Lin Daiyu was married to Brother Huan by the emperor, she is naturally useless.

Retreating to the second, Jia Mu also remembered Xue Baochai. (End of chapter)
