The 38th chapter of the five-character scroll(1/2)

Back in his room, Baoyu threw himself on the bed and covered his head with the quilt.

He didn't know what was going on with him, but he felt an inexplicable awe when he saw Feng Ziying.

Especially under Feng Ziying's cold and calm gaze, he felt that his whole body was stiff, everything he was thinking was frozen, and he couldn't even speak. However, the other party's words were only submissive to him.

.

This feeling made him feel humiliated, but he was unable to change it.

Maybe in their minds, I will always be a playboy who doesn't seek advancement and only knows how to have fun, right?

Thinking of this, Baoyu squeezed the quilt even tighter. A sense of loneliness and guilt lingered throughout his body, which really made him have the slightest idea of ​​becoming a monk for peace and quiet.

Previously, he was just talking about becoming a monk casually, but now he suddenly felt that if the sisters around him looked at him in that strange way, then becoming a monk might really be a good choice. At that time, maybe his family members and Sister Bao would

, Sister Lin and Sister Yun, they may think of themselves and recall the happy times when they had themselves?

"Second Master, let's have some tea." The gentle and gentle voice brought him back from his thoughts, which made him a little angry. He muttered under the quilt: "Put it there, I'm not thirsty."

"Second Master, you'd better get up. Uncle Feng and Second Master Lian will be here soon. If you do this..."

"What's wrong with me? I didn't invite them here!" Baoyu opened the quilt, his face was red, and he said angrily: "Since I am the boss, I don't need anyone to tell me what to do."

Xiren also knew that this man only dared to say some angry words in front of him. As soon as he saw Uncle Feng, he would immediately be like a mouse seeing a cat, not daring to fly.

However, she was used to this man's temperament, so she just said gently: "Second Master, Uncle Feng is no longer an outsider. Logically speaking, you should call him brother-in-law..."

Baoyu is furious, brother-in-law?!

Thinking that Sister Lin would throw herself into his arms, Baoyu's inner feelings of anger, frustration, annoyance and desolation were mixed together, making him extremely confused and desperate.

No one in the whole family seemed to care about his feelings for Sister Lin. What made him even more helpless and desperate was that Sister Lin herself never seemed to feel or accept his feelings. This was what made him feel most powerless.

Even if Sister Lin really likes him but cannot be with him due to family reasons, he can accept it sadly. However, Sister Lin has never taken him to heart, which makes him unable to accept it.

He didn't know what he had done wrong. Not only did Sister Lin treat him coldly, but also Sister Bao, who was originally gentle to him, became increasingly cold in the past two years. Even when he went to Lixiangyuan later, he often excused himself because of illness.

It made him even more angry.

He is not stupid, let alone stupid. Brother Feng doesn’t have much time to go to Lixiangyuan, but he can see Sister Bao every time, and they talk for a long time. Not to mention Sister Lin, she has always trusted Brother Feng.

Plus, now we are even engaged.

Even Sister Yun and Third Sister were full of praise for Brother Feng after they came back from Yangzhou, which made him even more angry.

He didn't know how Feng Ziying could convince these sisters of him, but he could never get a good compliment from his sisters. Didn't he try hard?

Didn’t she often participate in the literary and poetry gatherings in the capital city, and her poems and poems were also well received. Even several of their highnesses praised her, but why did the sisters turn a blind eye?

Everyone betrayed him and turned to Brother Feng. The hurt and despair caused by this feeling of powerlessness even exceeded the cold treatment of him by Sister Lin and Sister Bao, so that it seemed that he could only stay with Qin Zhong and Jiang Qi.

They look for solace there.

Seeing that Baoyu's eyes widened with anger and his face turned red and white, Xiren was also a little worried and frightened, but she still gritted her teeth and continued.

If this knot in Er Ye's heart is not completely broken, I don't know how many things will happen in the future.

Uncle Feng is no longer the same as before, and even the two masters may not be able to suppress him. Moreover, Xiren even knows that the Jia family is increasingly relying on Uncle Feng. Even the imperial concubine has sent letters from the palace asking for help.

Improve the relationship with the Feng family inside.

"Second Master, since Uncle Feng wants to marry Miss Lin, and Miss Lin is your cousin, he will naturally be your brother-in-law. Since he is not an outsider, he must be doing it for your own good. Now Uncle Feng is a sixth-grade official, and I have seen him

In many worlds, when he talks to you, he must be thinking about you, and I think the master, ancestors and wife are also willing."

Xiren's words poured cold water on Baoyu, who was extremely furious. The matter between Brother Feng and Sister Lin was now a foregone conclusion. No matter how much trouble he made, he couldn't change it, but what should he do?

Seeing that Baoyu's servant was silent on the bed, Xiren said softly: "Second Master, today is different from the past. The eldest girl has now entered the palace and became a concubine. The Jia family is no better than other families. You are the concubine's biological brother.

It should be considered that there is some pattern. At present, the gentlemen are all focusing on building the garden so that the imperial concubine can come back to visit her relatives during the Lantern Festival and also add glory to the mansion. At this time, there really cannot be any other things to distract the gentlemen.

…”

It has to be said that this attacker also figured out some of Baoyu's thoughts. The title of imperial concubine in Yuanchun made everyone in the Jia family famous. However, it was about to visit the relatives. Naturally, several concubines who were appointed at the same time were not willing to be left behind.

, so they are all competing secretly, and Baoyu also knows it.

Even his usually stingy uncle and his indifferent father became serious this time, so he really didn't dare to disturb his father at this time.

Moreover, Xiren also said that he is the imperial concubine's younger brother. If he is still so careless, I am afraid it will also damage his sister's reputation. But as for Brother Feng...

"Also, when Uncle Feng and Second Master Lian come to talk to you, it must be for the second master's benefit. Now that Uncle Feng has married Miss Lin, the Jia and Feng families are connected together, and the second master is indeed

It’s time to listen and then make plans..."

Xiren's sincere words made Baoyu feel comforted, considerate, and a little guilty.

While I was thinking about it, I heard Meiren and Qixie's voices outside, "Second Master, Second Master Lian and Uncle Feng are here."

Taking a deep breath, Baoyu sat up, and Xiren quickly arranged his clothes, "Second Master, when Uncle Feng and Second Master Lian are talking to you, you still have to listen carefully, regardless of whether you hear it or not.

There's definitely no harm in it, don't contradict me."

Baoyu's face was dull, but he nodded in the end. He was not a ungrateful person, but he was just emotionally difficult to accept sometimes.

Seeing Jia Baoyu's suppressed emotions, Feng Ziying couldn't help but want it.

The fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy was the most rebellious in his previous life, and Jia Baoyu's life like a little sun created this person's self-centered mentality. He has never been beaten by society, so naturally he

It is difficult to truly feel the cruelty and danger of the outside world.

This setback was just a minor emotional setback for him, and it really didn't count as a beating.

Even so, this guy still has to struggle from time to time, leaving people speechless.

If it weren't for the fact that Lin Daiyu would have to live in Jia's house for a few more years, and if he couldn't handle this matter well, he would have to go crazy and harass Girl Lin every three days, so he wouldn't be too lazy to take care of this birdie.

Breaking things.

In the past few times, Feng Ziying had educated Jia Baoyu with the attitude of doing everything possible. From the bottom of her heart, she had no hope of educating Jia Baoyu well. He also had no obligation. It would be better if Huan Laosan could make him spend more time.

After all, he is my fanboy, and he can still study, so he might be able to use it to his advantage in the future.

But this time he really had to think carefully about how to teach this guy. His engagement to Daiyu had made this guy crazy. If he wanted to marry Baochai in the future, this guy might not really be angry.

Ru Kuang is in trouble?

For the sake of his woman's happiness, he had to think carefully about how to guide this guy on the right track. At least, he should make this guy a little afraid and stop being such an unscrupulous monster.

Seeing Feng Ziying and Jia Lian come in, Xiren quickly saluted, and Qiu Wen Sheyue also quickly poured the tea in. However, Jia Baoyu gradually became unable to sit still under Feng Ziying's gaze. He mumbled for a long time, but didn't know what to do.

Open your mouth.

Seeing this, Xiren quickly signaled to the other Meiren, Qi Xie and Qiu Wen Sheyue, who all hurried out. She also stepped aside, preparing to close the door and wait for these gentlemen to come and have a good talk.

"Xiren, you stay here. I'll talk to Brother Lian and Baoyu. You should also listen. Baoyu is quite old, but his temperament is still uncertain. Of the people in his house, I think you are the only one who can do it."

You know the general rules and understand them. Listen, if Baoyu does something wrong in the future, you can give me some advice." Feng Ziying sat down at the round table of rosewood and marble, and picked up the maple dew tea.

He took a sip and said, "Baoyu, sit down too."

This was the first time for both Baoyu and Xiren to see Feng Ziying with such a calm but unquestionable attitude. Baoyu naturally did not dare to disobey him and sat down honestly. Xiren hesitated for a moment, "Uncle Feng, I'm afraid this servant is not suitable."

…”

"There is nothing inappropriate. You were pointed out to Baoyu by the old lady. Aunt also values ​​​​your composure. I just hope that you can look after Baoyu more. Before I came here, I originally planned to have an affair with the two of you because of the matter with the second brother Lian.

Uncle Shibo and his aunts talked to each other, but Uncle Shibo was not here, and something like this happened again, so he planned to talk to Baoyu before going to see his uncles and aunts..."

When Feng Ziying said this, Baoyu immediately panicked. If he told the master, his butt would probably bloom again. He stood up hurriedly and said, "Brother Feng, I was confused for a moment, and I will never dare to do it again..."

"

"Sit down, Baoyu, I have no intention of filing a complaint against you to my uncle and aunt. Do you think your brother Feng is the person who does such a dishonorable thing?" Feng Ziying waved her hands indifferently, "I was talking to Lian on the road today.

The second brother said, why is it so difficult for the imperial concubine to build a garden when she wants to visit relatives? Even Uncle She Shi and Uncle Zheng Shi have to do it themselves? Is there really no one in Ningrong's second house who can do anything?"

Baoyu was a little confused and didn't know what this topic had to do with him.

But Xiren heard something. He was still hesitant at first, but now he stood calmly by the door.

"The imperial concubine's wedding is a big deal, and the garden naturally needs to be repaired, but the two uncles are old, so the next generation should take care of these matters. Second Brother Lian is going to Yangzhou.

Something happened again when I came back. It seems that there is no one in the Rong Ning Mansion. Baoyu, do you think it has nothing to do with you? Well, or you feel that you are not a member of the Rong Guo Mansion and you shouldn't think about it yourself? "

Feng Ziying's words made Jia Baoyu blush, but she didn't know how to answer.

"Brother Lian had already gone to Ping'an Prefecture in Datong when he was sixteen or seventeen years old. Brother Lian had been working there for more than half a year on Sister Lin's affairs. He had passed the test at Brother Huan's Mansion and was about to take the college entrance examination in August.

I tried it, and if he passed, I agreed to let him go to Qingtan Academy to study. Whether he can become a scholar in the future depends on his own efforts and luck. I heard that the same is true for Lange'er.

She studies hard, and Sister-in-law Zhu is very strict with her. I guess she also wants to find a way out in the scientific examination. The whole family is doing something, so what are your plans, Baoyu?"

The tone was very calm, and there didn't seem to be much emotion, but the burning eyes fell on Baoyu, which made Baoyu feel like he had no escape after being a thief.

But Feng Ziying's praise of Jia Huan still aroused Baoyu's inner anger, "Brother Feng, I know what you want to say. Isn't it because I don't work as hard as Brother Huan in studying? I said that I can do anything in my life, but only

I just don’t like reading books that are just for getting a job, and I don’t want to be a coward, so Brother Feng, if you want to use these words to provoke me, then there’s no need.”

Feng Ziying was already prepared for Jia Baoyu's behavior, and said calmly: "Baoyu, your idea is not wrong. There are three hundred and sixty professions in this world, and you don't necessarily have to study to be the number one scholar."

What does it mean? It’s just Baoyu. You are also fifteen this year. What are you going to do in the future? Brother Yu knows that you are now well-known in the capital city. Well, you often participate in literary gatherings and poetry gatherings, but I told Uncle Zheng Shi

However, this is one aspect. If you are unwilling to study and seek fame, the usefulness of this reputation will be greatly reduced..."
