Chapter 17 Li Wan
After hearing Lin Daiyu's words, everyone exclaimed in surprise.
"Maybe this is really the case. My sister-in-law disciplines Lan Ge'er very strictly. At such a young age, he has to study and learn calligraphy every day. In the future, Lan Ge'er may really be the top scorer and become a high-ranking official!"
Jia Yingchun said happily, and the others also nodded and smiled.
Only Jia Baoyu was unhappy and frowned and said, "What are you doing to say about this? It ruins our happy atmosphere."
"Puff!"
Others dared not laugh at him, but Lin Daiyu didn't care at all. She looked at Jia Baoyu with her eyes, and looked at him blushed.
"San Lao, hurry up, keep talking."
Jia Baoyu surrounded Wei and saved Zhao, urging Jia Huan to continue telling stories.
Jia Huan laughed and said, "Everyone knows the rest. It's just that my grandfather taught me a lesson to practice martial arts. Even if I have no achievements, I can protect my family in the future."
"Tsk, we still use you to protect us? Look at you, who can you protect if you are thin?"
Jia Baoyu absolutely scoffed at this.
A few little girls who were already a little moved heard this and looked at the thin and weak Jia Huan, which made me laugh.
Several people were chattering and laughing, making it very lively.
"Brother Huan, you forgot everything before, but what do you want to know?"
Jia Yingchun has a gentle personality and does not play with the other sisters. She just sits quietly with a smile on her face and watches them make trouble.
Seeing that Jia Huan had not gotten involved, she just sat there happily and smiled foolishly, couldn't help but smile, and then asked with concern.
Hearing Jia Yingchun's words, Jia Baoyu and others stopped playing and looked at Jia Huan.
When Jia Huan saw that everyone was not talking, he looked at him and said with a smile: "I really have some doubts."
"You said you, let's keep it clear to you."
It seemed that this was a fun thing, and everyone stared at Jia Huan with great enthusiasm, as if they were going to answer questions quickly.
Jia Huan was secretly funny, but his expression gradually became serious and said, "Brother and sister, I have a few questions. The first is, how dare I ask what the world outside the Jia family is like? To put it simply, which dynasty and generation are we?"
"Hehe!"
Jia Xichun, who was sitting on the edge of the kang, suddenly laughed, making Jia Huan feel inexplicable.
Then Jia Baoyu laughed loudly, Lin Daiyu and Jia Yingchun followed...
"Hey, I'm very serious."
Looking at the boys and girls who were smiling in a ball, Jia Huan said with a smile on his lips.
But his calm expression, although he had a smile on his face, his eyes were still serious, which made Jia Baoyu and others even more breathless.
"Yo! What's wrong with this? Why is it so cola?"
Suddenly, another sound came from outside the window, mixed with a soft laugh, showing that the person was not alone.
Jia Huan, the person who was talking, could hear that it was Feng Lazi and Wang Xifeng whom he met in the morning.
As for the other person who was laughing softly, he didn't know.
"Look, she has followed her again with her after only a lot of kung fu."
Lin Daiyu also heard the person and laughed and stood up to greet him.
The others also stood up and looked at the door with a smile.
Sure enough, Wang Xifeng walked in with a brightly-colored skirt and accompanied a young woman in simple clothes.
Both of them were carrying a small bag in their hands. After coming in, they casually placed it on the table in the outer cabinet and walked in.
"I knew you were such a slutty little ghost, so please take a closer look."
Wang Xifeng stared at Lin Daiyu and cursed with a smile.
Lin Daiyu was not afraid of her, so she just spat.
Wang Xifeng was not angry either, but just pulled the woman beside her to complain: "Sister-in-law, look, she is so powerful. Unfortunately, in the future, I guarantee that there will be a sister-in-law who is as powerful as her to deal with her."
Everyone laughed out loud, and Lin Daiyu blushed.
However, before Wang Xifeng could fight back, she said to Jia Huan: "Huan'er, you probably don't recognize this person, right? This is our sister-in-law from Brother Xianzhu's family. Her surname is Li, and her name is Wan. Just call her sister-in-law. I know that you can meet people today, so my sister-in-law will come to see you."
Upon hearing this, Jia Huan solemnly bowed to Li Wan and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law, for your concern."
Li Wan exclaimed and personally helped Jia Huan up. The two were about ten years apart, so there was no need to avoid it.
After looking up and down, Li Wan smiled and said, "How great is it?"
Jia Huan nodded and said, "It's all right, I just can't remember the past."
After looking up and down again, Li Wan exclaimed to Wang Xifeng: "You said I don't believe it first, but now I see that it's really different. Compared to the past, it's better, it's really a blessing from the ancestors."
Wang Xifeng giggled and said, "This is not bad. Although Huan'er was handsome in the past, she was very energetic and had no energy all day long. She looked at people with evil spirits and was not pleasant. Now it's different. The little people are neat and clean. She dares to look at people directly, and her voice is louder. Even if the girl's voice is low, I feel that she is a boy? Look at why I like Lin Yat the most, it's not because she is sharp-tongued..."
"Pooh!"
Lin Daiyu also spat Wang Xifeng with a smile after everyone laughed and said, "You are the one you hate the most, which one you want to like?"
Li Wan hosted a fair and smooth things over: "Feng Yatou likes Lin Yatou the most because Lin Yatou is most like Feng Lazi. He dares to tell the truth, right? Huan'er, since everything is good now, let's get along with his brothers and sisters in the future, learn well together, and don't learn badly.
I heard your second sister-in-law say that our ancestors send dreams to prevent you from studying hard. In theory, our ancestors naturally have to listen to what they say. However, we don’t have to study hard, and it’s not that we don’t have to study hard. At least, you have to read, be polite, and be wise, right?"
Upon hearing this, Jia Huan laughed dryly, nodded and said, "Sister-in-law is that although I don't expect to be the top scorer in the imperial examination, I still have to learn how to be a human being."
"good!"
Li Wan praised him and said, "Huan'er, you are really sensible. Yes, even if you don't take the top scorer, you have to learn to be a human being. After two days of rest, you can go to the clan school with Lan Ge'er. The task is not heavy, it's just some enlightenment classes. It's only two hours a day, so you don't have to be afraid to worry."
What else can Jia Huan say? He can only nod and respond. It's just strange that Li Wan arranged these things.
As if seeing Jia Huan's doubts, Li Wan smiled and said, "Originally, these things were all managed by the master and the wife. But the master is an official of the court and has major things to do every day, so all the things in the back house are decided by us women themselves.
My wife is impatient with these vulgar things and spends some time, so I will leave it to your sister-in-law Lian. The simple one is my responsibility. It just so happens that my father is the Imperial College Priest, so I will be responsible for Baoyu and you and Lan Geer's education."
As he said that, Li Wan looked at Jia Baoyu, who was drooping his head and silently, and smiled and said, "Your brother Bao is weak and can't be exposed to the sun. However, he is smart and clever, so the old lady will be read in the room by himself. You can't compare with Brother Lan, so you all have to go to school honestly."
Jia Huan nodded without any objection, and said, "I remember, sister-in-law."
Li Wan smiled and said, "That's good, okay, I won't disturb your sisters' play. Feng Yatou and I have to go to the old lady and her wife to serve, so we'll go first."
Jia Huan said: "Sister-in-law, sit for a while, you've just entered the door."
Wang Xifeng, who was standing beside him, smiled and said, "Okay, your place is too small and you are so crowded. If you have time, you go to the old lady and her wife to play together. It's big. But forget it today. The old lady has not recovered yet. Yuanyang is careful to serve you. If you don't grind your teeth, we have to leave. There are a lot of things outside, and Ping'er can't be busy with it."
After a group of people sent the two men out, they saw a group of girls following behind them, turning through the drooping flower door and disappearing.
Looking at the few mothers and girls who were still standing at the door, they thought they were following Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu and others. Jia Huan secretly lamented that these people had too high professional qualities. He didn't even hear anyone outside in the house.
After looking closer, I saw that Xiao Jixiang was quietly whispering with a little maid about the same age as her in the corner, and Jia Huan couldn't help but smile.
After everyone returned to the inner room and sat down, Jia Baoyu smiled at Jia Huan and said, "You first asked, which dynasty is there now. This question is so strange. You said you have forgotten all the past, how can you know that there are dynasties? It can be seen that you don't remember anything."
Jia Huan cursed in his heart "scheming bitch", but seeing that he was just showing off his smugness and giggling at Lin Daiyu, thinking that the fat man had no real malicious intentions, he smiled and said, "When Sister Ping'er came earlier today, I probably told me a little, but I didn't explain it thoroughly, so I'll ask you."
Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "Although Miss Ping'er is good and has a good person, she is just not good."
"What?"
Although Jia Baoyu is not like a pig brother, he still follows him with a little flattering look.
Lin Daiyu raised her chin with some pride and smiled: "She is like Feng Yatou, illiterate, hehe!"
When Jia Baoyu and Jia Xichun heard this, they immediately laughed and fell down. Jia Yingchun also smiled softly. She knew that this was just a kind joke.
Jia Huan didn't think about being independent, so he followed him with a few words of face.
After playing again, Jia Baoyu said, "You talk first, what did Ping'er say to you? We will add it after listening to it, so there is no need to repeat it."
Jia Huan said: "Sister Ping'er didn't say much, just say that it is the Great Qin Empire today, and there are the fourth dynasties of the Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties ahead. She asked me to go to school to ask the Master, don't make things difficult for her."
Jia Baoyu curled his lips and said disdainfully: "I don't know much about the Master. He will read the Four Books and recite the Five Classics, or study the sour and smelly eight-legged essays. As for historical books, at most, he will know some official history compiled by officials."
Lin Daiyu said with a funny look: "Brother Bao, as you say, official history is fabricated by the officials to deceive people, but those unofficial history are the real ones?"
Jia Baoyu nodded wildly and said, "This is naturally. I love reading unofficial history the most. I think these shameful unofficial history are the real ones. Third brother, let me tell you in detail!"
