Chapter 14 First Meeting with Jia Zheng
Every time Jia Zheng comes back, he goes straight to the study to sort things out. He is a loyal official, but because he is a legitimate son, he cannot inherit the title, so he is now just a fifth-rank official. Although he is a real power position, he is not welcomed. Those serious officials from the imperial examination are naturally not optimistic about Jia Zheng. If nothing unexpected happens, Jia Zheng's highest achievement is like this. In fact, Jia Zheng was unable to improve in the end.
Jia Baoyu thought that the reason why Jia Zheng forced himself to study was also related to his own circumstances.
Not long after, Jia Baoyu and Xiuluan, the maid who came to inform him, came to the study room. At this time, a kind of maid from Yingying Yanyan was guarding outside the study room, and there were also several servants waiting for the appointment in the distance. Looking at the servants Jia Baoyu in the distance, he had no good face. He thought that if he annoyed Jia Zheng in a while, he would be these people who came to beat him.
Thinking of this, Jia Baoyu looked at the servants a few more times. When the servants saw that Master Bao was like this, he was a little confused. As usual, Master Bao was eager to see him and others. Why did Jinri look at him for so long? They knew that Jia Baoyu just wanted to remember their faces when he saw them. If he was really beaten, he would see which bastard was the most serious and he would definitely get back to the scene.
Jia Baoyu thought in his mind that he had recorded the appearance of these people and stopped looking at them. The active atmosphere of the group of Yingying Yanyan saw Jia Baoyu coming and the original one became more intense. A handsome young man like Jia Baoyu is naturally very popular, not to mention that Jia Mu's maid who spoke to serve Jia Baoyu in the future, she could change her body if she wanted. Most of the maids hoped to get Baoyu's favor and go to serve Baoyu.
"Second Master is here."
"It's nothing serious this time. The master is in a good mood. With the wife here, the second master can rest assured!"
Everyone said one by one, if Jia Baoyu was the one before, he would definitely be at a loss, but now he doesn't know how to practice it. In Jia Baoyu's words, he has practiced it. Jia Baoyu has experienced all kinds of warm and warm jade these days. How could he fall down in front of such a few people? Therefore, the second master acted extremely calmly.
Unexpectedly, a maid who saw Jia Baoyu doing this and said nothing. Jia Baoyu was not surprised to see this. He knew that he must have felt uncomfortable seeing him so calmly. However, Jia Baoyu pretended to be afraid. Jia Baoyu wanted everyone to know that he was different from the past. It was too cumbersome for Jia Baoyu to change everyone's impression bit by bit. Jia Baoyu could not stand it if he did not live according to his own style.
A maid was indeed as Jia Baoyu thought at this time. When Jia Baoyu saw that everyone was not talking, he was about to go in. At this time, a maid said, "Brother Huan is here too."
Hearing this voice, Jia Baoyu stopped and looked in the direction of Jia Huan. However, other maids except Jia Baoyu were not interested in seeing Jia Huan. They just looked at him in a hurry and left behind. Only one was the exception. Jia Baoyu also noticed the maid. When he first came, it was the maid who was the least concerned, but Jia Baoyu did not remember who this person was.
Jia Huan paused slightly when he saw Jia Baoyu in front of him, and then walked towards Jia Baoyu. As Jia Huan approached, Jia Baoyu also saw Jia Huan's face clearly. It was indeed a bit too much to say that he was not good-looking, and he was considered a medium-sized one, but compared with Jia Baoyu, it was much worse.
But Jia Baoyu looked at Jia Huan for no reason and remembered the word "despicable", which made Jia Huan not likeable. Anyone who has such a face must have a familiar and familiar process when getting along with others. However, most of the huge Jia family girls are willing to get close to Jia Huan too much, and Jia Huan is a concubine. No one will get to the point of currying favor with him, and it is normal that they are not favored by others.
Jia Huan came to Jia Baoyu and politely said, "Good Brother Bao." He said that he was extremely serious. If it were Jia Baoyu in the past, he would definitely not feel anything, because Jia Baoyu in the past was really unwilling to have too much contact with people like Jia Huan, for fear that he would be polluted again, who was not very clean.
But Jia Baoyu does feel a different feeling now. Although Jia Huan seems to be very respectful to him, he reveals serious dissatisfaction and even resentment in his bones. Even cold, Jia Baoyu just nodded perfunctorily and went in with Jia Huan.
Since Jia Zheng had already given instructions before, the servant waiting outside did not say too much to Baoyu and Jia Huan. If Jia Zheng was not allowed to enter when he was in the study, he didn't know whether it was an illusion or something when he was about to enter. Jia Baoyu felt that Jia Huan had suddenly become much shorter, and his body was shaking a little.
Jia Baoyu chuckled and thought to himself that Jia Huan was really timid! But he forgot what he used to be. Jia Huan on the other side saw Jia Baoyu walking in indifferently, and he sneered in his heart, "Now he is still pretending, when he sees his father, you will be honest."
At this time, Jia Zheng was sitting at the desk drinking tea and waiting for Baoyu and the others to arrive. A middle-aged lady was naturally Mrs. Wang, and a middle-aged woman was waiting a little farther away. She didn't look like a maid in dress, but was Jia Zheng's concubine, Jia Huan's mother, and Aunt Zhao.
After the two of them entered, they naturally met Aunt Zhao first. Aunt Zhao did not hide her disgust for Jia Baoyu, which made Jia Baoyu, who had been doting for the past few days, very uncomfortable. However, Jia Baoyu immediately felt relieved. If everyone liked him, he would not be able to adapt to that. In that case, he would probably lose any ambitions.
Jia Zheng was discussing something with Mrs. Wang, but when he heard Jia Baoyu and Jia Huan come, he looked at the two of them with serious expressions. At this time, the two were completely extreme. One was extremely timid and trembling, which made people feel uncomfortable when they looked at them. The other was actually looking directly at Jia Zheng, neither humble nor arrogant, and seemed extremely confident.
If Jia Baoyu dares to do this, Jia Zheng would have to punish Jia Baoyu for being disrespectful. However, people are not afraid of being bad, but they are afraid of comparing. Jia Baoyu and Jia Huan stand together and their appearances, no matter who sees them, they will think that watching Baoyu is a pleasing thing, while watching Jia Huan is an annoying thing.
Compared with Jia Baoyu's disrespect, Jia Zheng had long since been thrown away by Jia Zheng. Jia Baoyu didn't know that Jia Huan had helped him a little.
Jia Zheng nodded at Jia Baoyu, and thought about Jia Baoyu who had been trembling when he saw him before. He thought that even if his studies did not improve, Baoyu could be exempted from punishment only by virtue of his demeanor.
