The Zhou Mansion is not as big as the Jia Mansion, and its level is not as grand as it is. This is a matter of heritage. The Jia Mansion has been achieved by the efforts of several generations of people over the past century. Of course, it would be fine if Zhou Ping wanted to be more grand. His daughter was the crown princess, but this was related to Zhou Ping's style. Even a steady person did not want to be luxurious even if he lived in a place.

Unlike Ning Rong, the two palaces occupy a street, next to the Zhou palace are homes of officials of all sizes and small cities. The Zhou palace lives in it. If you can look down from a high altitude, you will find that the Zhou palace is guarded by the surrounding official houses. It can be seen that Zhou Ping also considered a lot and chose this place.

Jia Baoyu followed Zhou Ping, and nodded when he saw anyone on the road. From time to time, a few little maids did not hide and saw Jia Baoyu hurriedly avoided. The Zhou family's rules were not as strict as the Jia family, but some things were still not much worse.

When he arrived at Zhou Ping's study, Zhou Ping asked Jia Baoyu to sit down. The servant served tea. Zhou Ping asked Jia Baoyu: "What do you think next year's chun exam?"

Jia Baoyu knew that this was the key point. Although he didn't know what Zhou Ping and the others meant, it was not wrong to directly explain his intentions. "I plan to slow down for a year and improve myself, and wait until the next year to participate in the Enke Association Examination and achieve a good result at a time."

When Zhou Ping heard that he had never shown too many expressions, he was more happy. This was just right for his own wishes, so there was no need to say anything. Such a form of knowledge made Jia Baoyu’s image in Zhou Ping’s mind a little higher. Jia Baoyu had a pursuit, which was also crucial.

Jia Baoyu has been caring about Zhou Ping. Seeing that he naturally knew that his choice was very suitable for him. Zhou Ping said: "It's good, it's better to settle for more last year." Since Jia Baoyu has already fulfilled his wish, there is no need to say something he is ready to say.

"Baoyu also means that." Jia Baoyu was a little confused about Zhou Ping's intentions, but nothing bad was left.

Zhou Ping stood up and took out some paper from behind, "This is what Professor Shiri wrote on this." He took out another book. This is my experience when I was diligent in my study. You can take this book first. If it is helpful to your knowledge, you can come to me to get the remaining books.

Jia Baoyu bowed to take it, which was a surprise. Although the doctor of the Imperial College was also knowledgeable and talented, he was not as high as the top scorer, the second place, the third place, the likes of Tanhua, etc., let alone the Tanhua who became the elder of the cabinet like Zhou Ping.

Zhou Ping said a few more words to Jia Baoyu and was about to let Jia Baoyu go back, but a servant came over. "What's wrong?" Zhou Ping looked at the servant and was not angry. He was the servant in the yard of Mrs. Zhou.

The servant came in and said, "When you say it to the master, the old lady wants to meet Mr. Jia."

Zhou Ping's first reaction was doubt. Mrs. Zhou loved her grandchildren the most, and the one she loved the most was Zhou Xi. Since Zhou Xi entered the palace, Mrs. Zhou has been depressed. No matter who persuaded her, there was no way for anyone to persuade her, and many people were reluctant to see her. Zhou Ping was also anxious in his heart. Why did she think about seeing Jia Baoyu this time?

However, no matter how confused Mrs. Zhou was confused, Zhou Ping would not refuse the request of Mrs. Zhou. He was the most filial person. In this life, he would have let Zhou Xi marry Shui Fu go against the meaning of Mrs. Zhou. "It is rare for an old lady to see someone, so she will delay Baoyu for a while." Zhou Ping said to Jia Baoyu.

Jia Baoyu naturally obeyed the orders. This was not a big deal. As Zhou Ping went to Mrs. Zhou's place with her, when Jia Baoyu arrived at Mrs. Zhou's yard, he was surprised to find that the yard was very similar to Mrs. Jia's yard, and the decorations were almost the same.

Old Mrs. Zhou was about the same age as Mrs. Jia, but her jing was not as good as Mrs. Jia. Jia Baoyu suddenly thought of the way Mrs. Zhou she met when she was a child. At that time, Old Mrs. Zhou seemed to be more spiritual than Mrs. Jia, and she didn't know what she had thought over the years.

"My son pays me a blessing."

"Jia Baoyu has seen an old woman."

Old Mrs. Zhou ignored Zhou Ping, but was very kind to Jia Baoyu. "Child, come to me, you can't take it seriously when you get old."

Jia Baoyu glanced at Zhou Ping and saw Zhou Ping nodding and going up as he said. Old Mrs. Zhou looked at Jia Baoyu and became more and more happy. "I just said that Old Mrs. Shi's baby grandson will be very likable when he grows up." Jia Baoyu felt that he understood a little when he heard Mrs. Zhou's words. Old Mrs. Zhou might be a fan of Jia Mu, otherwise many things would not be referenced by Mrs. Jia Mu.

After hearing this, Zhou Ping catered to it and said, "Baoyu is extremely promising. She also ranked seventh in the provincial examination. After two or three years, she is afraid she will be able to get a gold medal."

Old Mrs. Zhou was even happier when she heard this, "Isn't this? Old Mrs. Shi is very good at teaching future generations." For a moment, Old Mrs. Zhou praised Jia Baoyu. Zhou Ping followed Jia Baoyu to promote Jia Baoyu in this way, and Jia Baoyu was a little uncomfortable, but seeing that Zhou Ping's apologetic eyes were nothing, and this was not belittled.

After finally praising it, Old Mrs. Zhou said to Jia Baoyu again: "Baoyu, is your jade worn on your body?"

Jia Baoyu nodded, "I always carry it, and my ancestors won't let you leave it for too long."

Mrs. Zhou wanted to see it, Jia Baoyu took it off her neck and handed it over. Mrs. Zhou just looked at it missed her, but she cried as she looked at it, "You may not remember that Xiaoxi, our family was in poor health when she was a child. I wanted her to get some auspiciousness, so I took Xiaoxi to your house to see the jade. At that time, you were still a little kid with a snot. Haven't you grown so big now? Our family's body has gradually improved since then."

Zhou Ping quickly comforted him when he saw this: "Mom, don't be sad, Xi'er has lived in the palace very well."

When Mrs. Zhou heard this, she said angrily: "Where is it? I have never seen her since she entered the palace. Where is it."

Jia Baoyu looked at Zhou Ping who was a little embarrassed when he didn't know how to speak, saying, "I still remember what happened when I was a child. At that time, the old lady came with a sister with a braided braid."

Old Mrs. Zhou's attention was only changed when she heard Jia Baoyu's words, "Isn't it? Then I gave our Xiaoxi a trick, she liked it very much."
