Chapter 31 Jia Baoyu's explanation
Jia Baoyu waited for about a quarter of an hour before Jia Zheng came back. Jia Baoyu knew that Jia Zheng must have said a lot to Xue Baochai during this period, but he didn't care. During these times, Jia Baoyu also summarized what he wanted to say.
Jia Zheng sat at the desk and said, "You can talk now! Baoyu."
Jia Baoyu nodded and said, "Baoyu fainted a few miles ago. I wonder if the master knows."
Jia Zheng frowned slightly after hearing this, and said, "Did you faint? What's the reason?" It was obvious that Jia Zheng didn't know.
"I don't know about this Baoyu, but after fainting, Baoyu had a dream."
"What kind of dream?" Jia Zheng knew that dreams were the key, so he immediately asked.
"A very long dream, Baoyu spent his life in the dream and also spent his life in the Jia family."
"What's the solution?" Jia Zheng asked again.
"Baoyu is still the current Baoyu in his dream. He likes to mix fat and powder, loves poetry and songs, hates the Four Books and Five Classics, and has never achieved anything in his life. However, the Jia family fell due to internal and external troubles. In the end, Baoyu died in poverty and destitute. The Jia family also declined since then because no one could revitalize it." Jia Baoyu wanted to say a lot, but in the end he decided to just say it simply.
Jia Zheng was shocked when he heard Jia Baoyu's dream. Jia Zheng had always known that Jia Zheng had internal worries, but Jia Zheng did not think that small problems would cause the Jia family to decline, so he didn't care much. People said that he had thought about something and dreamed about it at night. In Jia Zheng's opinion, Jia Baoyu would not have such thoughts no matter what, let alone thinking about the Jia family's decline.
These thoughts were only a moment, and Jia Zheng immediately asked, "What are the worries and why are they declining?"
"How could Baoyu know about these things? Baoyu only knew about having fun at that time. When he woke up, the Jia family had declined. His deepest experience was the hardships he experienced later. After Baoyu woke up, he decided to change and no longer be a playboy." Jia Baoyu originally planned to tell Jia Zheng about some possible future events, but when Jia Zheng went out, he thought that Jia Zheng had always been pedantic. If he talked too much, he really didn't know whether it was good or bad, so he wouldn't say it.
After hearing Jia Baoyu's words, Jia Zheng whispered in a low voice: "Is that true?" Then he fell into deep thought. Jia Baoyu knew that Jia Zheng was thinking about the accuracy and possibility of what he said, and did not disturb him. After a long time, Jia Zheng spoke: "It's good. When you were young, you were born with jade. Everyone thought you had a connection with immortality, but at this point, they were addicted to the beauty. The old lady loved you and spoiled you. I couldn't really perform the duties of a father, and I gradually gave up on you. Now that you can wake up in a dream, it must be the spirit of my ancestor Rongguo Mansion, the spirit of Ronggong, appeared in the world. I hope you can live now in the future."
Jia Baoyu nodded and said yes. Jia Zheng immediately said, "Although I have always been strict, I am not a person who does not know how to adapt. Nothing can be achieved overnight. I don't expect you to achieve something immediately. I don't expect you to achieve something immediately. Avoid the bad habit of going to go to it. I just hope you remember what you remember in your dreams, remember your vows yesterday, and study hard. If this happens, I will be very satisfied."
Jia Baoyu also felt a little warmth in his heart as he heard Jia Zheng's care. Then Jia Zheng said again, "As for the things you dream of in your dreams, you don't need to worry too much. The centipede insect will die without being stiff. My Jia family will not fall so easily. You just need to study hard. You should communicate with others more in your spare time, make friends, and prepare for you in the future. Don't be too nostalgic for the cosmetics."
"You are still young now. When you are in the imperial examination for a few years and have achieved fame and fortune, you can start your own business. My Jia family is no more than ordinary families. The old lady and the wife are reluctant to leave you. It is impossible to move out of the Jia family, but you will be cheap at that time, and I will not restrain you too much."
After hearing Jia Zheng's words, Jia Baoyu knew that Jia Zheng was not too worried, and was very confident about the situation of the Jia family. If Jia Zheng made up his mind and didn't say anything, he would save the entire Jia family, at least the Rongguo Mansion lineage would be fine, but Jia Baoyu knew that he could not say anything anymore. If he had too much words, he might have to backfire.
As for what Jia Zheng told him, Jia Baoyu had already prepared for a long time, and he could not inherit the title. If he was in power, he would have to pass the imperial examination. Jia Baoyu believed that with his memory and advanced thinking, he dared not think about the top scholar, but it is very possible to be a Jinshi. Then, it would be better to use the power of the Jia family, and at least he should be able to protect himself first.
Thinking of these, Jia Baoyu responded again, and then said, "If there is nothing to do, Baoyu will go back first. If he stays for a long time, his ancestors will probably be worried."
When Jia Zheng heard Jia Baoyu's words, "No", but then he changed his words: "I almost forgot, there is something else?"
"Master, just make it clear."
Jia Zheng said: "Did you read the test questions I gave you yesterday?"
"Look."
"Is there a solution?"
Jia Baoyu shook his head and said, "I have some thoughts, but I don't understand Shiwen, so I don't know how to start."
Jia Zheng nodded and said, "That's right. I was anxious yesterday but forgot that you still don't know how to make art."
"I asked Sister Lin for advice yesterday, and borrowed a manuscript from her by Wang Shouxi, intending to study it before solving the problem." Jia Baoyu said.
Jia Zheng was slightly surprised and said, "Wang Shouxi's manuscript, this is good, but the text of the times is not ordinary. You can understand it by studying it yourself. It happened that your master died of illness a year ago. I am old and busy with work. I can't stay at home for a few times this time. I can only discuss it after giving you a job. The text of the times is the most important thing. In your spare time, you will go to review the old lessons in your spare time. You can only do these things if you have thoroughly understood the Four Books and Five Classics. You can just put the topics you gave you aside. In the past few months, you can focus on the Four Books and Five Classics."
"If you can't concentrate, then go to your private school at home. I will say in advance. If you want to go, you will have someone to send a letter and tell me where you want to go."
Jia Baoyu nodded and said yes. Jia Zheng said again: "Don't let me down. It's better for you to be lazy and take the exam in the future. I will take the exam in three months. You must be proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics, otherwise I will not spare you."
"Baoyu knows, he will definitely not disappoint his father." Jia Baoyu said solemnly.
Jia Zheng nodded with satisfaction, then looked at the time. The father and son clearly said little time had passed. It was half an hour. This was the longest time the father and son had been together since Jia Baoyu became sensible. Jia Zheng immediately said, "Okay, if you continue, the old lady is afraid she will come here in person. You go back!"
Jia Baoyu responded and was about to leave, but heard the noise outside, "What are you going to do? I will take Huan'er to teach the master homework. Do you dare to stop me?"
Jia Zheng and Jia Baoyu frowned when they heard this voice. Needless to say, it was Aunt Zhao. After hearing that Jia Baoyu went to Jia Zheng's study, Aunt Zhao rushed over with Jia Huan, but did not go in rashly, because he was afraid that Jia Baoyu would come in and then come up and cause people to suspicion. So Ying decided to wait for Jia Baoyu to come out before going in, and stopped Jia Baoyu to prevent Jia Baoyu from leaving.
Unexpectedly, after waiting for half an hour, he didn't see Jia Baoyu coming out. Aunt Zhao was anxious and stopped waiting anymore. She rushed in with Jia Huan. Wang Gui didn't get Jia Zheng's instructions, so he naturally couldn't let Aunt Zhao and his son go in, but he didn't dare to stop him too much. Aunt Zhao took Jia Huan directly to the inner door, and was stopped by the servant guarding the inner door.
Wang Gui couldn't stop Aunt Zhao from guarding the inner gate but was not afraid. He had always heard Jia Zheng's decision to Aunt Zhao naturally didn't buy anything, and immediately said, "Mrs. Huan San Master, if you want to go in, wait for me to report it."
When Jia Baoyu heard this voice, he was the servant who had been the one before. He was confused for a moment, and then the servant walked in. Jia Zheng said directly to let them in without waiting for him to speak!
The servant was about to leave after hearing this. Jia Baoyu called him, and the servant turned around and said, "Does Mr. Bao have any instructions?"
Jia Zheng also looked at Jia Baoyu. I wonder why Jia Baoyu called this servant. Jia Baoyu said, "Who is your name? Why aren't you guarding the gate just now?"
After hearing this, the servant replied, "The villain's name is Li Er. I went out to Gong before, but Wang San was waiting for him just now."
Jia Baoyu nodded and said, "I understand." Then Li Er went down. Jia Zheng was confused. Jia Baoyu briefly said what had happened before. After hearing this, Jia Zheng didn't say anything, and then Aunt Zhao and his son arrived.
Aunt Zhao said as soon as she came in, "Master, the servants are getting more and more unruly nowadays. I want to take Huan'er to pay homage to the master, but I have to stop him."
After hearing this, Jia Zheng frowned and said, "That was my order. You will be more regular in the future. What kind of quarrels are so polite, so why do you come to me?" He was helpless to Aunt Zhao and Jia Huan and Jia Zheng. Before taking Aunt Zhao as his concubine, Aunt Zhao was a person of sensibility. Who knew that he had become more and more unconventional over the years, which made Jia Zheng regret it. As for Jia Huan and Jia Zheng, he couldn't like Jia Huan and Jia Zheng no matter what. Jia Baoyu was not only handsome but also made great achievements in poetry, but Jia Huan was truly nothing.
After hearing this, Aunt Zhao said, "Master, I can't forget it. Didn't you leave your homework yesterday for Baoyu and Huan'er to do it? Huan'er gave her homework specifically today."
After hearing this, Jia Zheng remembered that Jia Huan had done it yesterday, but he thought in his heart that he forgot to tell Jia Huan about the delay in the school exam. However, Jia Zheng has always been concerned about face and naturally would not admit his fault. In addition, he also wanted to see if Jia Huan also made progress and asked: "Have you done it?"
