Chapter 23 Sister Lin's Teaching
Chapter 23: Lin Meimei’s Teaching
After hearing this, Jia Baoyu said in confusion: "Didn't my sister say no?"
Daiyu nodded and said, "I don't know, but the gentleman who taught me since childhood is very familiar with these things. In order to enable me to better master the poems, Brother Bao has always been afraid of these tigers, and he may not even know the most basic ones!"
Jia Baoyu knew that Daiyu didn't want to ask her anymore, so she wanted to teach her. She felt funny. Daiyu usually discusses poetry with her and other things, but she was a little disgusted when talking about her eight-legged essays.
It is definitely not possible for Jia Baoyu to understand a woman's thoughts with a man's idea, let alone a woman like Daiyu. The reason why Daiyu is unwilling to teach Jia Baoyu is because she is unwilling to be a teacher. The two of them discuss poetry and lyrics. It is not necessary to comment on Jia Baoyu's poems, but it is just a communication between peers.
But it is different to start from scratch. Although neither of them was the same as the same thing at that time, they seemed to be a master and apprentice. Daiyu thought too much, so she was unwilling to have any inappropriateness. She was afraid that Jia Baoyu would ask questions, but she added a husband in the middle.
Seeing that Jia Baoyu didn't say anything, Daiyu continued, "I'm told me by the teacher. I'll repeat it to you directly and just treat it as my husband taught you."
Jia Baoyu naturally couldn't think of the deep meaning. When he heard Daiyu say something about his husband several times, he remembered someone and asked, "Who is my sister's husband!"
After hearing this, Daiyu said, "Mr. His name is Jia Yucun. Speaking of which, his family has some relationship with your family. He also sent me all the way here. After that, it seemed like he had paid a visit to my uncle. As for what happened afterwards, I don't know."
"How is your gentleman?" Jia Baoyu immediately asked a question when he heard that it was Jia Yucun. Jia Yucun was really an important figure in Dream of Red Mansions. Throughout the whole story, Jia Baoyu felt that he would have to contact him in the future, and it would be good to know more about it now.
Although Daiyu was puzzled when she heard this, why Jia Baoyu asked Jia Yucun about his character, she didn't ask, and said, "Mr. I have always asked me to study, but I have no contact with him the rest of the time. I don't know whether he is a person, but I should be an upright person based on my feelings."
Jia Baoyu also knew that he was a little anxious after hearing Daiyu's answer. Daiyu seemed to be only six or seven years old at that time, so how could she judge a person's character? Besides, time and status can change too many people, and the past and present should not be confused. Thinking of this, Jia Baoyu smiled and said, "Then sister starts teaching me!"
"What you are thinking about is that, and the problem is also a mess. There is no source of the problem. It seems that you should really learn to write eight-legged essays, and there are some regulations for doing things like that." Daiyu said this casually, but after saying that, she regretted it because Jia Baoyu has always been the most disgusting about these things. She thought that he finally wanted to learn something and I was unwilling to do what if I had a bad temper again. It would be fine if he didn't say he wanted to learn it. If he didn't want to learn it, it would be mine.
If Jia Baoyu heard Daiyu’s voice, you would be very wise. You are really thinking too much. Now you just bowed to Daiyu and taught her a lesson. I also asked her to pass on my eight-legged outline.
Daiyu felt relieved when she saw Jia Baoyu's actions. Thinking that Brother Bao had indeed changed a lot, he told the eight-legged essay method he knew. Jia Baoyu also listened carefully, remembering that there are not many key points of eight-legged essays. The art of writing is the simplest and most difficult essay. It is easy to get started. The essay has a fixed format. It consists of steps such as solving the topic, inheriting the topic, starting the lecture, starting, starting the stock, starting the stock, medium stock, back stock, and binding stock. If you learn from it, you will get started after practicing hundreds of articles by yourself.
However, it is really too difficult to write well. It is not easy to write different things in a fixed framework, but it is even more difficult to make achievements in the imperial examination. I don’t know how many famous talents have not even passed the exam for a scholar in their entire lives.
Daiyu said everything she knew, but she didn't know the basics as he said. Jia Baoyu even suspected that if Daiyu was asked to take the imperial examination, there would be another female top scorer. However, this idea was just to think about it. If Daiyu really said it, she would probably say something to her again.
Because they had to remember too many things, Jia Baoyu was afraid of forgetting some of the key points and asked Daiyu to say it again, so he found a piece of paper to remember what he thought was the key points. The two of them said one by one and remembered it seemed that they could not tell the harmony. During this time, Zijuan came and served two cups of tea and went out.
Daiyu said so hard that she stopped after she was a little dry. Seeing this, Jia Baoyu put down the pen in her hand and hurriedly brought the tea on the table to Daiyu. Daiyu took it lightly and took a sip and put it down and said, "It is also very important to learn it well. When I first learned it, I memorized Wang Shouxi's manuscript. Wang Shouxi is a master of the time. No one has compared the eight-legged essay he wrote yet. Brother Bao can also try it."
Jia Baoyu nodded and said, "Since my sister said that there is no problem. I will ask someone to find a collection of Wang Shouxi's essays."
Seeing that Jia Baoyu adopted his own opinions without hesitation, Daiyu became more and more happy. She remembered that she seemed to have brought this book to her collection and said, "No need to be so troublesome, I have it here. I'll send it to you."
Jia Baoyu became interested when he heard this, and said, "Then use Mingri, it's better to find it now and save trouble." After that, he wanted to search on the bookshelf.
Daiyu heard this and said, "Don't make trouble. It's not on the bookshelf, but some luggage I haven't opened. Now I don't know where to put it. Then I told Zijuan and the others to find it." Jia Baoyu turned off the thought of reading it.
It was almost noon, and it was about to start dinner soon. Originally, Jia Baoyu could wait for Daiyu to go there together, but Jia Baoyu was waiting for him when he was thinking about the beauty at home. When he went out, they were frightened. Although Xiren had already returned and the news of his nothing was going to be heard, he felt a little unbearable if he didn't see anyone in the morning.
If Jia Baoyu was really Jia Baoyu, who was born in a wealthy family, it would be fine. In that case, Jia Baoyu would naturally feel at ease with such things, but Jia Baoyu was not. Although he had some thinking habits in the Red Chamber, Jia Baoyu's main body was still the original Jia Baoyu, a 21st century young man who had received many years of equal education.
Jia Baoyu would not say that he would stick to principles and marry only one in his life. Jia Baoyu would definitely not be able to stand such a thing, because the beauty around him is like a guard, and Jia Baoyu was not Liu Xiahui and could not do it.
Jia Baoyu would not instill the principle of equality in the beauty around him. If that is not to say it would be a burden to himself, it would not be a blessing for those maids. Living in such an era is destined to be driven by the general trend, and the times create heroes. Heroes create momentum often happens. However, it would take so long to change the tradition of a nation for thousands of years, but one-tenth of time is necessary. Jia Baoyu, who thought that the Jia family would decline in a few years, was not the intention to do such a thing.
What Jia Baoyu can do is to be better for the people around him and let them feel more warmth. Moreover, Jia Baoyu knows their ending, their habits, and their feelings for him or for the original Jia Baoyu, so that Jia Baoyu can't treat him as before.
Daiyu originally planned to leave with Baoyu, but seeing that Jia Baoyu was very determined, he did not keep him. Anyway, the distance between the two was only a few minutes, and we would see each other again soon.
When Baoyu just left the door, he suddenly remembered that some of the notes he had heard Daiyu talk about were still left on Daiyu's desk. Although he had already recorded them, Jia Baoyu had not confirmed whether his memory was permanent or had forgotten it in a day or two, so he asked Zijuan to help him take it. After hearing this, Zijuan hurriedly took it out. Jia Baoyu borrowed the notes and said goodbye to Daiyu and went back.
At this time, Aunt Zhao sent the little maid waiting to wait impatiently to wonder if she would just give a random answer and leave. She was so excited when she saw Baoyu coming out. When she saw Baoyu really left with a piece of paper, she also happily went back and was about to give Aunt Zhao her own reward.
Before Jia Baoyu could return to his residence, a few little maids saw him going back to the house and asked someone to go. When Jia Baoyu arrived at the door, all the maids of all sizes were greeted by him.
Seeing this, Jia Baoyu smiled and said, "Why are you all coming out? I haven't been back for so long? Okay, we're all gone! Do whatever we should do."
After Jia Baoyu finished speaking, the little maids dispersed, leaving only a few big maids, "Second Master, come in quickly! Although it is not cold today, it is always bad for him to stay outside for a long time." Xiren hurriedly pulled Baoyu in.
Jia Baoyu walked in with the force from Xiren's hand. Qingwen, who was at the end, walked up to the front and said in a slightly cold tone: "If you want to come back, you won't send someone to communicate with us, as we are not prepared. If you fall and freeze there, it's our fault."
If you say that Jia Baoyu might have to complain a few times when he heard this, but now he doesn't. Because Jia Baoyu knew that Qingwen was concerned about her, she said such things. Jia Baoyu smiled and said, "I know, I'll ask you to come back next time, so you don't let it go."
Qingwen thought Jia Baoyu would explain or get angry, but she didn't expect that Jia Baoyu would follow her words. She was immediately happy, but Qingwen was unwilling to show it in front of several people, and just said, "Who dares not go if you have instructions?" After that, she turned around and walked into the house.
Seeing this, Xiren shook his head gently and entered the house with Baoyu.
