Chapter 806: Clues Revealed in the Inner Chamber

Lady Rongguo Mansion, Rongqing Hall Back Courtyard, Great Flower Hall.

Fu Fu Qiufang knew her brother's calculations in her heart. Although she was resistant and unwilling, she had to obey her elder brother as her father, and she was basically unable to be independent.

Her brother was determined to climb to a high family, but the family background was thin, and she was neither high nor low, making her waste many years in the boudoir.

Furthermore, although she was talented and beautiful, she was already twenty, her youthful beauty was gradually fading, and it was already difficult to find a good match.

Her brother often associated with and flattered Jia Zheng, but it was just to use Jia Zheng's convenience to take the opportunity to climb up to the Count of Lord Weiyuan, Jia Cong, and wanted her to give Jia Cong...

Miss Fu read a belly full of poetry and books, and also had some pride in her heart. She felt quite ashamed of her brother's various calculations.

But the young master of the Jia family was peerless in talent and appearance, famous all over the world. It would be a lie to say she didn't have any curiosity or admiration in her heart.

So for her brother's various actions, Miss Fu was somewhat half-pushing and half-accepting.

Originally, her brother had instructed her to enter the Lady Rongguo inner courtyard to pay respects to the Old Lady, and she could make friends with the Jia family's young ladies, so that she could find opportunities for boudoir interactions in the future.

But now the Jia Old Master was reprimanding his son in court, and as a female family member of an outside family, she should avoid it. If she forced herself to stay, it would be too impolite.

Moreover, this young Count was also present. If he saw her acting impolitely, wouldn't he despise and look down on her...

Miss Fu decided to say goodbye to Jia Mu. Jia Mu felt relieved when she heard this. Her son reprimanding Jia Baoyu in court was quite faceless in front of outsiders.

This girl from an outside family had some eyes. Jia Mu asked Sister Yuanyang to take a pair of gold and jade rings to give to Fu Fu Qiufang as a meeting gift, and asked Seeing Tan Chun to send her off on her behalf.

After the outside guests left, Jia Mu complained: "Why scold Jia Baoyu for no reason? He was just listening to the opera. Is it worth you getting so angry?"

Jia Zheng said: "Old Lady, it's not that I want to reprimand him. Jia Baoyu is already over the age of fifteen and is about to get married and establish a family, but he still hasn't achieved anything.

Brother Cong remembers the brotherhood and supports him to study at the Imperial Academy, but he doesn't cherish it at all, still wandering around every day, lazy to read books, which is truly too unfilial.

Now the Jia family is also a Hanlin family. Among the noble families in the capital, Jia Baoyu is the legitimate son of the Second Branch. If he can't even enter school, what kind of system is this?

The reputation of the family that Brother Cong worked so hard to win will be ruined by this evil animal. I am teaching him to let him bring glory to his ancestors."

Jia Mu was speechless when she heard this. She wanted to excuse Jia Baoyu, but the family members and juniors were all gathered, so it was really hard to speak.

When the grandson of the First Branch was studying, how hard he worked, Jia Mu knew clearly because Sister Yuanyang often entered and exited the East Prefecture.

This Cong Ge'er studied day and night, lighting lamps and burning oil, and didn't leave the mansion for half a year.

In order to focus on the imperial examination, he ignored the huge family business of the West Prefecture, leaving it to Feng Tan Yatou to manage, and at most sent a maid to watch.

Only with this kind of desperate style could he pass the imperial examination and gain fame. Jia Baoyu's weak body couldn't eat this kind of bitterness.

If she really listened to her son's idea and let Jia Baoyu gnaw on books like Cong Ge'er, he would probably be like Zhu'er back then, ruining his foundation and losing his life. How could that be?

Besides, Cong Ge'er has ability and luck, which is indeed his ability, and the family business was also given to him.

Since Cong Ge'er has already supported the family, he should protect and take care of the disciples in the family. Why does Jia Baoyu have to suffer? Being safe and enjoying some blessings is the right path.

Her son is also crazy, and there is already a successful candidate in the family, which is enough to be glorious and decent. Does he still want Jia Baoyu to be like this? It's too greedy...

It's just that these words, Jia Mu could only keep in her heart, and it was really hard to say in front of others. Moreover, Jia Cong was still present, so these words could not be spoken.

Jia Baoyu was terrified by Jia Zheng's scolding, his heart and gallbladder were cracked, and he was ashamed. Seeing Fu Fu Qiufang leave in a hurry, not even willing to look at him, made his heart ache.

Seeing the sisters like Seeing Yingchun and Lin Daiyu, none of them came out to speak for him, and he felt cold.

He was crying in his heart. Even if his father wanted to teach him, why choose this time? How could he behave in front of the boudoir beauties in the future?

The clean aspirations of this life were unknown to what extent they were slandered and smeared. There was really no place for him in this world...

Not to mention Jia Baoyu's messy thoughts, Jia Zheng saw that Jia Mu was speechless, and felt that his truth was righteous, even the Old Lady had nothing to say.

He became more and more righteous, scolding Jia Baoyu: "You useless evil animal, you don't read the Four Books, you don't study the Five Classics, and you don't understand anything.

With your sparse knowledge, entering the Imperial Academy to study, wouldn't it lose all the face of me and Brother Cong?

You actually dare to stay here and waste time. Do you want to listen to the whole opera? You shameless evil son, get out and study, get out!"

Jia Mu saw her son erupt with thunderous anger, and her old face couldn't hold it, and her complexion became ugly.

But now the Jia family's trend is prosperous. In addition to the foundation of the Duke's family, they have also gained the reputation of a Hanlin family. These old relatives and nobles are jealous to death.

Jia Mu also enjoys this good thing very much. Now, in front of everyone, to stop her son from teaching his grandson to study, if this wind spreads out, she would be slapping her own face.

She frowned and said: "If you don't like him listening to the opera, don't let him listen.

You are also nearly fifty years old, and you don't know how to cherish your body. Why get so angry? Sister Xi Ren, you take Jia Baoyu back to study."

Jia Baoyu heard Jia Zheng's words to get out, and his legs were already soft with fear, he had no master, and was ashamed.

He hoped that the Old Lady and the Aunt would speak out to stop him and save him from danger.

If the Old Lady felt sorry for him, it would be best to scold his father a few times, so he could leave some dignity in front of the sisters...

He didn't expect the Old Lady not to stand up for him, but to follow his father's wishes and let him go back to study, which broke his heart.

Wang Lady wanted to persuade him, so as not to let her Jia Baoyu lose all face, but Jia Zheng was so aggressive that she didn't dare to step on the fire.

Sister Xi Ren and Seeing Caiyun saw Jia Zheng's rage and wanted to pull Jia Baoyu away, but they were just maids without proper names, so how could they dare to make their own decisions at this moment.

Hearing Jia Mu's reminder, they were immediately relieved, and the two helped Jia Baoyu panic out of the Great Flower Hall, and Seeing Cai Xia also followed them and left.

Jia Mu sighed, where was there any interest in listening to the opera, and asked Sister Yuanyang to help her to the back hall to rest.

Jia Zheng saw the Old Lady like this, and felt bored. Now that Jia Jia Huan knows how to work hard, he originally wanted to go to Jia Baoyu's courtyard to check his homework and strictly supervise and teach him.

Seeing Jia Mu's situation, worried about making more trouble and making the Old Lady sick, it would be uncontrollable, so he had to give up and leave the Great Flower Hall in a huff.

Jia Mu and Jia Zheng left one after another, and others had no interest in listening to the opera, so everyone sat for a while and then dispersed.

Ningrong Street, Count's Mansion.

Jia Cong brought the sisters through the corridor of the two mansions and returned to the East Prefecture. It was not yet noon, the air was freezing, but the sun was dazzling, making people feel warm and comfortable.

Shi Shi Xiangyun was unhappy and complained: "This "Nanke Dream" only sang one act, and I was just listening to it with interest, but it was ruined. It's truly disappointing.

It's all the Second Brother's fault for causing trouble. Since he knew the Second Old Master wanted him to study, he shouldn't have gone out to wander, causing us to have no opera to listen to."

Jia Cong laughed: "What's there to complain about? It's just that we caught up with it.

If Yun sister loves listening to operas, I will invite an opera troupe to sing in the East Prefecture during the New Year, and no one will ruin your interest."

Shi Shi Xiangyun laughed: "That would be the best. Third Brother, don't make empty promises. I will wait for your opera troupe during the New Year."

Seeing Yingchun said: "Over the years, because of studying, the Second Old Master doesn't know how much anger he has had, and the scolding and teaching have never stopped, but Jia Baoyu hasn't made any progress.

In fact, studying and taking imperial examinations is not something everyone can do. There are many scholars in the world, but how many can pass the imperial examination? Even if Jia Baoyu can't, it's not strange."

Jia Cong said: "The Second Old Master naturally knows this truth, but he has been obsessed with studying and imperial examinations all his life, and because of family affairs, he couldn't get his wish, so he naturally pinned his hopes on his offspring.

Back then, the eldest brother Zhu was a scholar in his youth, which was the proudest thing in the Second Old Master's life, but the eldest brother Zhu died young.

Jia Baoyu is the only legitimate son of the Second Old Master, so the Second Old Master naturally transferred his wishes to him. Who knew that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

If Jia Baoyu really studied hard, but failed to achieve anything due to his talent, the Second Old Master wouldn't be too harsh on him.

But Jia Baoyu simply abandoned studying and loved to say words about scholars being worms, which went against the Second Old Master's wishes. How could the father and son be harmonious?

This is the Second Old Master's knot for many years. He can't see through it himself, and others can't help him no matter what."

Shi Shi Xiangyun laughed: "Now the Second Old Master doesn't need to see through it. Didn't he say that Jia Huan brother has turned over a new leaf and is now studying very hard.

In any case, both are his sons. The Second Brother doesn't want to study, but Jia Huan brother is willing to study, so the Second Old Master has hope.

It's just that I have always been clear that Jia Huan brother is the same as the Second Brother, and he doesn't like studying either. It's truly strange that he suddenly changed his temperament."

Jia Cong laughed: "Isn't it because Third Sister has the ability? The Second Old Master has strictly taught for many years, but couldn't do it, but Third Sister did it in less than half a month.

This ability is quite powerful. Third Sister, tell us about it, so we can see it." ===== CHAPTER 807 =====
