Chapter Ninety-Eighth
Chapter 98: Talk to each other very happily
Jia Baoyu thought through the relationship and couldn't help but angrily said, "What are you? Who made you interrupt? Get out of here?"
The old lady still didn't know it and said voluntarily: "Second Master, this is what the old lady and her wife told me, and it's not something I'm going to do. If I don't do it, the old lady and her wife will blame me."
Jia Baoyu was even more angry when he heard that the woman wanted to use Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang to suppress her. "The old lady and the wife complained about what relationship you have with me. If you are afraid of complaining, it would be easy to say. When I go back, I will go back to the old lady. The wife said that you are very angry and afraid of being blamed. Our mansion cannot accept you. I am so good?"
The woman wanted to be tough for a moment, but when she heard Jia Baoyu's words, she knelt down and said, "Second Master, please calm down. I'm past the enemy. Please don't drive me away. Our family has been in the mansion for generations. If I go, I can't live!"
Jia Baoyu naturally knew this truth, and he didn't have the intention to chase people away. Seeing that the woman had surrendered, it would be fine, so he said, "Apologize to your two uncles. If they forgive you, I will not pursue it."
After hearing this, the woman asked Li Shouzhong again. Li Shouyi asked for forgiveness. The two knew that the slaves of the Jia family had been driven away, but it would be inappropriate if they were driven away because of their own. Besides, they had long been used to such things, so it would be fine if they saw the woman begging for forgiveness.
The woman was sent off by Jia Baoyu. Jia Baoyu apologized to Li Shouzhong and Li Shouyi again, and then sat down again. At this time, Li Shouzhong saw Jia Baoyu very much, compared to before, one underground and one in the sky.
If he said it hard, Li Shouzhong had no good feelings for the people in the Jia family. Li Shouzhong was unwilling to have the marriage between Li Wan and Jia Zhu. Even if Li Shouzhong was as proud as a literati, he also had another problem with a literati. His yearning for power, and his wife's matchmaking was really good, so he agreed.
Because of the Jia family, Li Shouzhong felt a little less unhappy. People like the Jia family looked down on small families like him, and Li Shouzhong knew very well, so he never went to the Jia family if it was unnecessary.
After Jia Zhu's death, Li Wan was pregnant with Jia Lan. A girl who was only fifteen years old would be widowed. This time, Li Wan went from fifteen to twenty-four years old. Li Wan was Li Shouzhong's only daughter. In recent years, Jia family wanted to bring Li Wan back more than once, but they were forcibly stopped by Li Shouzhong.
Jia was blinded by the love of his daughter, but Li Shouzhong could not. He knew clearly that a family like the Jia family could not let Li Wan come back, let alone remarrying. Even if he meets Li Wan every year, there are a large number of maids, mothers, and servants following him. This is something that anyone knows.
The people in the Jia family looked down on the Li family from top to bottom, so although Li Shouzhong had no hatred for the Jia family, he had no good feelings. Now he knew that Jia Baoyu was coming and did not want to welcome him. Unexpectedly, Jia Baoyu was extremely humble and scolded the rude woman again.
In this way, Li Shouzhong's perception of Jia Baoyu was very good, and he was also close to him from the inside. He first asked about Jia Baoyu's academic performance, and Jia Baoyu replied truthfully, saying that the Four Books are already clear, and the Book of Songs and Chunqiu in the Five Classics are also good. He also made Chunqiu this sutra and said that he could make some simple eight-legged essays.
Li Shouzhong didn't believe that Jia Baoyu had learned so much. At this age and such knowledge were also of high quality in ordinary families. He was already the kind of scholarly level. He was not good at all. He had a child. If he had been in an ordinary family, Li Shouzhong would have believed it, but a family like the Jia family would have a very hard-working person, which Li Shouzhong did not believe.
Therefore, Li Shouzhong deliberately had some problems, and Jia Baoyu replied one by one, from shallow to deep. It is possible for people like Li Shouzhong to stay up all day and night when they do research. Jia Baoyu became more and more concerned about this question, so the original simple questions were asked more and more, and Jia Baoyu replied one by one.
Li Shouyi is also a scholar. The question Li Shouzhong asked at the beginning was fine, but in the end, Li Shouyi couldn't answer it himself. Li Shouyi wanted to remind Li Shouzhong to ask, but Li Shouzhong was in the mood and did not see Jia Baoyu being bored. In addition, Li Shouyi also wanted to see how Jia Baoyu was knowledgeable, so he turned a blind eye.
This question took half an hour, until Li Wan and Jia stabilized their emotions and said again, but they saw that Jia Baoyu went to see Li Shouzhong but had not come back yet, so the two of them came over to check together to see what was the end.
Seeing that Li Shouzhong was actually taking the exam, Jia Baoyu quickly stopped him, and said with some blame: "Master, you will pay homage to the great master later. You are not so obsessed with it."
Li Shouzhong was indeed a little unhappy when he was interrupted by his head, but he also knew that he had been a little lost. This was because Li Shouzhong, as the priest of the Imperial College in the capital, had not seen such a craftable material as Jia Baoyu for a long time, so he asked about Jia Baoyu as an ordinary prison student for a while. Of course, this so-called craftable material is naturally not knowledge, but something new to him from time to time. Otherwise, Jia Baoyu's level would be just medium.
"Don't blame me for being a clan, I'm forgetting myself." Li Shouzhong said to Jia Baoyu with a correct expression.
After hearing this, Jia Baoyu quickly greeted him and said, "Where, Baoyu has benefited a lot."
Li Shouzhong laughed loudly after hearing this. He didn't know the truth about Jia and Li Wan. Jia Baoyu's words were indeed not false. He was just having a question and answer with Li Shouzhong. Fortunately, in the early stage, Jia Baoyu couldn't resist it anymore. However, when Li Shouzhong saw that Jia Baoyu showed signs of decline, he would finish his words and change it to another statement. Therefore, Jia Baoyu had been talking to Li Shouzhong for such a long time.
The question and answer for half an hour made Jia Baoyu realize that he was really a little talented and learned a lot. With his ability to remember, this is equivalent to Li Shouzhong instilling knowledge in Jia Baoyu for half an hour. It is also something that Jia Baoyu doesn't know. This is more effective than Jia Baoyu's own learning last week.
Therefore, Jia Baoyu was full of expectations for the Imperial College. At least a dozen people in the Imperial College are no worse than Li Shouzhong's knowledge, and some are even better. Thinking of this, Jia Baoyu was full of confidence in the provincial examinations next year.
Li Wan came back under the pretext of her grandfather's taboo, but in fact, these had nothing to do with Li Wan. They were all done by men in the family. Moreover, the Li family's ancestral tomb is not here, but in Jinling, thousands of miles away. This worship was just a sacrifice in his own ancestral hall. It was done early in the morning, and Li Wan just came back to pay homage to her parents.
The departure time for the few people was not early, and it took a little time on the way, and it was because of the questions and answers between Li Shouzhong and Jia Baoyu, so it was almost noon after that.
There are not many people in the Li family. The two sides are Li Shouzhong and Li Shouyi, and there is no male. Li Shouzhong has only Li Wan, the daughter. Li Shou's family is better than Li Shou's family. The older one is named Li Wen, the younger one is named Li Qi, one is named fourteen, and the other is of the same genius as Jia Baoyu, this year's twelve.
It seems to be a bit like no successor, but because Li Shouyi and his wife Li are still young, they don’t need to go to the Health Hall to adopt them. However, the family has only decided that if there is still no male in the family in two or three years, either Li Shouyi will take a concubine or adopt one.
After leaving the yard, Jia Baoyu looked at Tianse and sighed that it was indeed Xiali. It was so capricious. When Jia Baoyu came in, the sky was still shining brightly. At this moment, it was dark clouds. It didn't seem like it was almost noon, and it was clearly the Xushi. However, Jia Baoyu knew that Xiali's Tianyi was almost at a rapid pace, so he didn't care.
Jia Baoyu was taken to the backyard by Jia, Li Wan and Li. When he met the female relatives in the mansion, Jia Baoyu realized that Li Shouzhong had a concubine, but he was just as ignorant as Jia Zheng's aunt Zhou.
As for Li Shouyi, he did not take a concubine, but I don’t know if it was because of his loyalty or because of fear, but this has nothing to do with Jia Baoyu.
Li Wan's two cousins were very beautiful. Jia Baoyu was not just an illusion or something, but she felt that they were often sending love to her. However, Jia Baoyu's family had so many sisters and sisters who didn't know how to arrange them and they were thinking about being flirting with flowers outside. Thinking of this, Jia Baoyu couldn't help but think that his heart was indeed high!
On the other side, Li kept staring at Jia Baoyu's expression. Seeing that Jia Baoyu was just polite to Li Wen, Li Qi couldn't help but show a regretful expression when she spoke.
Li heard that Jia Baoyu was coming yesterday and decided to see if Jia Baoyu could fall in love with her two daughters, so he dressed up Li Wen and Li Qi early in the morning.
Li did not tell his two daughters, because that would be unnatural. Unfortunately, Li saw that it was his daughter who invited Jia Baoyu unintentionally. He felt regretful and also had the idea of climbing to the top.
Jia Baoyu didn't know so many things. After talking to people here for a while, someone in front of him passed the message saying that lunch was ready and asked Jia Baoyu and Li Wan to have a meal.
Jia Baoyu and these women had nothing to say, so they were very happy to hear this. They asked someone to lead the way and went with Li Wan and the others.
