Chapter 93 Rumor

Sister Feng thought about it for a while and said, "I really don't know this. If the old lady is really interested, I will call two mothers who often go out to ask."

After hearing this, Jia Mu shook her head and said, "It's fine if I don't know. I'm just trying to be fresh. It's not good to have someone come over and say it's not good. But you didn't come back, but you have to be fined three cups."

After hearing this, Feng Jie hurriedly begged for mercy and said, "Oncestor, just spare me! These three cups are still great."

Jia Mu insisted on her resolutely and asked Li Wan and others to drink for Sister Feng. Sister Feng had to drink three cups. Although Jia Mu laughed a few times, she was not as interested as before. She chatted with everyone and left.

Yuanyang also went with her. After Jia Mu left, Mrs. Wang said to Fengjie with some reproachful tone: "You are really, the old lady wants to hear you, so she picks up one and says it. It won't be too late for the old lady to lose interest."

After hearing this, Sister Feng said helplessly: "Auntie, I don't want to say this. I'm really angry when I say it. There is nothing good about it outside. I'm still so strong that I won't say it." Mrs. Wang stopped saying anything after hearing it.

Jia Baoyu gathered to listen in a sensible way when the two of them were talking, so they heard clearly and immediately asked, "Sister Feng, how did this be spread outside?"

After hearing Jia Baoyu's words, Feng Jie laughed dryly and said, "Where is the way to spread it, it's just some unreasonable people talking nonsense. Brother Bao is doing what to do when he is doing on his birthday. Come on, I'll give you a cup."

When Jia Baoyu heard that Feng Jie didn't want to say it, he stopped asking, but he remembered it in his heart and made up his mind to ask someone out for the previous question.

Because there were too many people around you and some women were waiting outside, it was not too much fun for everyone, so they gathered for a while and then they parted. However, when Xiangyun left, she secretly told Jia Baoyu that she would make a fuss tonight, and Jia Baoyu didn't agree after hearing this.

Jia Baoyu did not go to search for Daiyu immediately because he was thinking about the rumors outside. Instead, he went back to his yard with Xiren and the others. When he arrived outside the yard, Jia Baoyu ordered a little maid to ask her to call Mingyan over.

Not long after, Mingyan came, Jia Baoyu called Mingyan to his side and asked, "Do you know what the mansion says outside said?"

Mingyan was confused after hearing this, not knowing why Jia Baoyu asked this, but he still answered truthfully despite his doubts: "I don't know if I know a little bit of it because I don't go out often."

"Speak out everything you know." Jia Baoyu didn't delay it.

Mingyan responded and said, "It's not a year or two that the mansion has been around for a year or two. My mother said that our Jia family was the focus of discussions around us decades ago. However, at that time, the only thing that was discussed was the great achievements of the Duke of the State, and which young lady in the mansion was outstanding and which lady was beautiful. This was the same in the past few years. The second master was the one who talked the most."

Jia Baoyu nodded after hearing this. Jia Baoyu was born with jade, so he would naturally be discussed. It was normal at this time, but this was not the focus of Jia Baoyu's concern. Jia Baoyu asked, "I only talk about what happened in the past two years. Which kind of discussion is the fastest spread, and there is no need to say anything else."

Mingyan thought for a while and then said, "There is nothing else. I heard my mother say that recently these days, it seems that there has been a lot of gold and silver in our mansion. There are also golden lions, jade qilins, etc. In short, they are all extremely luxurious things in the mansion. There seems to be a song, and I don't know what it is called, but this is what it means."

After hearing Mingyan's words, Jia Baoyu immediately understood. Is this the point? People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. Not to mention that there are not those in the Jia family, even if there are, they will definitely be doomed because of these public opinions. The public opinion that seems unimportant is actually what the effect is that outsiders can know.

Jia Baoyu was born in the 20th century and his thinking grew in the 21st century. It was the stage of rapid development of public discussions about politics. He had seen too many officials who stepped down because of the people's congress. Now, thinking about it in a few years, it seems that more discussions will be on the Jia family, but at that time, the discussions can no longer find their source.

Jia Baoyu doesn't understand politics, but he still understands some simple truths after reading books for many years. The Jia family in this vast capital can only be considered a middle-class family. Even if it is the best, there is still a little gap. It was only after Yuanchun became a concubine that he truly became a top-class person. With the Wang family, Shi family, and Xue family, it is the best. The Jia family is luxurious and confused, but there are no ten or eight families in this capital city. Why do other families have no rumors but the Jia family?

Although it was impossible to predict that someone had taken action, Jia Baoyu knew that if this matter was not solved, it would be nothing. However, at a critical moment, it might be the last straw that crushed the Jia family.

Seeing that Jia Baoyu was just not speaking and was solemn, Mingyan asked with some concern: "What's wrong, Second Master, is there something wrong?"

Jia Baoyu then came out of his thoughts, but the solemn seizure on his face still did not disappear. He was silent and said to Mingyan: "Mingyan, now you can find the right person for me to secretly investigate who is spreading the rumors. What I want is the source. If you find it, don't alert me, come back and tell me secretly."

Mingyan heard Jia Baoyu say this and knew that Jia Baoyu attaches great importance to this matter, so he nodded and said, "Don't worry, second master, Mingyan will definitely find it in the shortest time."

Jia Baoyu said again: "Don't be impatient, don't be arrogant. It's nothing if you can't find it, but don't check it wrong. You should know a lot of people outside over the years and find reliable people to check it."

"Don't worry, Master Second! Mingyan knows what to do."

"Okay, let's go down! I won't ask you again if there is no big deal recently. You can finish this matter well, let's go down!" Mingyan listened to the instructions and went down.

After Mingyan left, Jia Baoyu calmed down and returned to the yard. He told Xiren about the incident that Xiangyun was coming to make trouble in the evening. Xiren smiled and said, "I heard Miss Yun say this early. According to my opinion, it would be better to invite everyone to discuss it together in the evening."

Jia Baoyu would not refuse, so he discussed with Xiren: "Eat wine in the evening and have fun, don't be stubborn. What should I eat now? I've told them to prepare it for them."

Xiren smiled and said, "Don't worry, we made up our minds yesterday. We each offered a little, and there were ten taels of silver in total, which was enough."

Seeing that Jia Baoyu had made arrangements, he had no other things. Because time was still there, it was not very suitable for him to go out or anything else. Although Jia Zheng asked him to find him, it was also obvious. Jia Baoyu thought that it was nothing more than just checking his homework and there would be nothing else, so he was not curious or anxious.

Therefore, I just sat there reading, but after reading for a while, I couldn't continue reading. Jia Baoyu read the idle books like the West Chamber and the like and lost his mind. Seeing that the girls were busy trying to help them, they didn't let them go, saying that Jia Baoyu had made trouble, but they messed up.

Seeing that Xiangling was not doing much, Jia Baoyu thought about what he wanted to teach her to read a few days ago, so he said, "Xiangling, don't do it anymore. I have time to teach you how to read some words, so you should also become a disciple soon."

Xiangling looked eager when she heard this, but everyone else was busy, but she was embarrassed to be with Jia Baoyu. Xiren smiled and said, "Go and go with him! We have no intention of reading and reading, and it is difficult for him to find a person in this room. If you study hard, you can help him relieve his boredom, otherwise you won't know what happened."

Xiangling came over happily after hearing this. Jia Baoyu first asked Xiangling what words he learned. If this question was not done, Xiangling had learned hundreds of words. Jia Baoyu was happy to hear that everything else was easy to say after having a foundation.

Since this is the case, there is no need to start from scratch. Jia Baoyu took a book called "The Analects of Confucius" and asked Xiangling to read it in turn. Jia Baoyu didn't read it. Whenever she heard Xiangling read it wrong or didn't know how to read it, she told Xiangling, asking her to read it several times, and wrote it on a piece of paper as a mark.

After reading two volumes, he found a hundred words that Xiangling could not have been found. Jia Baoyu saw that it was almost done. If there were more, it would be difficult to remember them clearly at once. Therefore, Xiangling stopped and handed the paper to Xiangling and said, "You have memorized these hundred words well these days. If you don't know, just ask me or Daiyu and the others. After you finish memorizing, you will learn some more." Jia Baoyu just sighed that there was no Chinese pinyin at this time. If there was any, it would be much simpler. As long as you teach the pinyin first and then make the pronunciation, it would be done, but now it can only be done.

Xiangling happily took the paper from Jia Baoyu's hand, read it on the spot, and read it one by one. Whenever she encountered something she didn't know, she would ask Jia Baoyu again. Jia Baoyu replied one by one. Xiangling remembered it almost half an hour.

Jia Baoyu knew that this was just a temporary memory. If he didn't review it, he would probably forget it the next day, so he said to Xiangling: "You are studying these good things, and it's almost the same for all three. I'll ask you questions at that time. If there is no problem, learn something else."

Xiangling responded with a smile, and was grateful to Jia Baoyu again. Jia Baoyu felt very fulfilled. Every time she looked at Xiangling, Jia Baoyu, she felt that she was very close to her ultimate goal. Thinking that she could save others so easily, it was not difficult to save the Jia family. Although it was a good idea, it was enough to make people masturbate. This was not because Jia Baoyu helped Xiangling, but Xiangling gave Jia Baoyu confidence.
