Chapter 590 Jia Baoyu Was Dazed
After seeing off Cheng Rixing, Jia Zhengli sighed in front of the corner gate.
They are all young men, why are their sons so smart, so knowledgeable about current affairs, and so good at being an official.
And why is his son so useless?
No wonder brother-in-law Lin Ruhai wholeheartedly married his daughter to Chen Zhao, such a unicorn, who would give up!
If you don't marry your daughter to him, don't you marry your useless Baoyu?
Just thinking of Baoyu, it happened that Baoyu came from the opposite side. This guy was walking in and almost bumped into Jia Zheng.
Jia Zheng shouted, "Stop!"
Baoyu was taken aback, and when he looked up, it was not someone else but his father. He gasped unconsciously, and had to stand aside with his hands down.
Jia Zheng said, "Well, what are you downcast about? Just now Mr. Cheng came to see you and asked you to come out for a long time. After you came out, you didn't have any generosity in your conversation, and you were still luxuriant. I think You have a brooding look on your face, and now you cough and sigh again. You are not enough, you are not comfortable? There is no reason for this, but why? "
Although Baoyu used to be very eloquent, but every time he saw Lao Tzu, it was like a mouse seeing a cat. At this time, when he heard Lao Tzu's question, he didn't know how to respond, so he just stood aside in a daze.
Jia Zheng wasn't very angry at first, but when he saw Baoyu's cowardly appearance, he immediately became angry and scolded: "You are a coward, who will you show it to? Chen Zi is not a few years older than you, and he is already Jinshi and the first degree, high-ranking officials and generous salary, should be favored by the king and caressed by the common people; appreciated by your uncle; Sun Erlang, who your second sister is going to marry, has never studied, and he has done well in the government of Tianfu. This is your cousin Brother Pan , and now you are also a headhunter in Jinling, maintaining law and order, only you are not young, and you are not doing business all day long, hanging around in the Grand View Garden every day..."
Jia Zheng scolded Baoyu so hard that all the spirit of Baoyu's scolding flew away. Fortunately, Jia Zheng only scolded him as usual. He scolded him for a long time. When Baoyu didn't respond, he was afraid of scolding him and making the old lady unhappy, so he waved him away. gone.
As if being pardoned, Jia Baoyu flew back to her room, where she sighed and fidgeted, as if she had a needle stuck in her buttocks.
"Second Master, what's the matter with you?" Xiren saw Baoyu's abnormality and asked quickly.
"Hmph, I feel restless, remembering that Chen Zhao became a high-ranking official in the south of the Yangtze River. I also thought that Xue Pan, a foolish overlord, actually became a headhunter under his command. This gang of official fans is really ridiculous." Jia Baoyu was indignant. Of course.
"Second Master, Uncle Chen and Uncle Xue are motivated people, you should think about studying more. Today, someone from the ethnology school came to ask, and they said that Second Master had been ill for more than a month and hadn't been there yet. In the school, I asked the second master what was going on and went to school. Second master, you really should go to study hard, if the master takes the second master's homework in the exam one day, I'm afraid it will be a catastrophe. "
Originally scolded by Lao Tzu Jia Zheng for a long time, Baoyu's brain hurts, but he didn't expect Xiren to be a good wife and mother, Baoyu immediately stood up and walked away, "I'm looking for the third sister, so that you won't bother me again. "
Xiren looked at Jia Baoyu's retreating back and couldn't help but shed tears.
When they arrived at Tanchun, the third sister, they saw Jia Huan talking there.
It turned out that Jia Huan Xiumu, after going home and talking to Aunt Zhao, came to find Tanchun.
He bought a lot of presents outside, and he carved a lot of trinkets with his own sword, all of which were exquisite and refined, and Tanchun liked them very much.
After Jia Huan saluted Baoyu, he said, "The superiors have talked to me. After I graduate from Jinyiwei Academy, they will let me go to Jinmen to work. As soon as I go, I will start with a small flag."
Xiaoqi has also become an official of the seventh rank. Although the gentlemen are noble and the martial arts are cheap, Jia Huan is already considered to be a leader when he has an official job.
Tanchun knew that his younger brother was going to be successful, so he was very happy, so he hurriedly taught him: "When you arrive in Jinmen, you must be careful in doing things, respect your superiors, and don't play on your prestige as Huan Sanye. My aunt and sister are looking forward to your success. , the old lady, the master and the wife know that you have made great achievements, and they are all very happy, Second Brother Bao is not coming to see you specially."
Baoyu: "...Yes."
Thinking that it was not quiet in her own mansion, Baoyu sat for a while and left.
Walking in the courtyard of Rongguo Mansion, Baoyu suddenly realized that he didn't know who to ask to play.
On the side of the male friends, Feng Ziying went out, Xue Pan ran to become an official fan, Liu Xianglian went to do business, Qin Zhong devoted himself to studying, and occasionally went for a walk to exercise when he had time. His posture became like that of a wild man.
As for those beautiful girls, Sister Lin went with her parents, and got engaged to that nasty Chen Zhao. kiss...
Baoyu found painfully that although the world is big, there is nowhere to go.
As he was lamenting, he suddenly heard two maids chatting in the bushes at the corner, vaguely talking about him, so he couldn't help sneaking in to eavesdrop.
It turned out that a servant girl was Xiaohong who went to Sister Feng's place from her own room, and she only heard her say: "I heard from a female storyteller outside that young people have many dreams, but they don't know the fireworks in the world. But in the future, they will always have a family and a family. The government can't close its doors and take care of itself, so my father ruthlessly asked my brother to learn his skills in the shop."
"I heard from people from the south that the Zhen family also has Baoyu, who is similar to our second master Bao. He is happy and happy every day, but once the building collapses, the second master Bao doesn't know about economics, official career, and human relationships. Women are inferior, it has become a joke in Jinling."
"That's right, Jinling Zhen's family doesn't have a title, and that Young Master Zhen doesn't care about his career and finances, but his career and finances are looking for him. I live in a dream every day, isn't it just a laughing stock!" Another maid said.
Xiaohong sighed: "Yes, my father often teaches my brother, if you don't learn some economics and take care of this family business, the money will not fall from the sky. Businessmen these days are cunning and only seek profit. If you don't care , what should we do if we are defrauded of our money? We have been slaves for a lifetime, and we can’t bear to accept it when we are old and enjoy happiness, but we have to live a life where the whole family often eats porridge and wine on credit?”
The two maids walked away while talking, but Jia Baoyu was dumbfounded.
Although Xiaohong and that maid were talking about other people's affairs, because of today's encounter, Baoyu also realized her own affairs. If the old lady, master and wife are gone, Rongguo Mansion will naturally be inherited by Brother Lian.He, Baoyu, is just a white man, so how could it be possible for someone else to be his cousin and he worked so hard to earn money for himself to spend?
Even if the old ladies and wives leave some money for themselves, if I don't care about it, won't I waste my family business?
It's no wonder that sister Lin treats her indifferently, so she looks like this in his heart!
"What should I do? If we really want to get to that point, it would be better to end up in a vast expanse of whiteness and cleanness. Could it be that in the end, I can only find a quiet and remote place, where we can grow grass for a hut, where there is only light food and tea, and I have only been to the wild cranes in the wild life?" Jia Baoyu murmured.
Poor Baoyu, in such a daze, went back to her room, slept deeply all night, and woke up in the morning, still feeling a little uneasy.He hurriedly called Mingyan, and asked him to go outside to find out how much money it would cost to build a bamboo hut in a quiet and remote place with beautiful scenery.
Outsiders heard that it was the Second Master Bao of Jia's Mansion who inquired about it, and it was such an elegant and out-of-the-ordinary matter, so it goes without saying, naturally they have to settle the matter with the lenient.
This place must be good, it must be beautiful and elegant, with mountains and rivers, and it must not be disturbed by ordinary people.
Then you have to buy a large area, and you have to spend money.
Bao Erye's thatched cottage and bamboo house can't be simply weeds and dead bamboo?At least we need winter ling grass, and we need to use Xiangfei bamboo for bamboo. These are special products in the south, so they have to cost money, right?
And you have to burn incense and play the piano every day, right?Do you have to be accompanied by wild cranes every day?
There is also the labor for the construction, the filial piety of all the stewards, after all, it is only five thousand silver?
Are you kidding me?
Is this worthy of Second Master Bao's tolerance?
Add and count.
Last total!
Got it!
1 taels of silver.
It really fits the status and bearing of the Second Master Bao of Rongguo Mansion.
Ok, deal!
Jia Baoyu finally received the news that it had risen to 5000 taels of silver.
He was dumbfounded.
Although Second Master Bao doesn't eat fireworks in the world, he knows how much money he has.
That Chen Zhao has the name of a good fortune boy, kneaded the salt merchants in Yangzhou into dough, and only squeezed out more than 1000 million taels of silver a year.
And how much money can I buy with my monthly bill?
Comparing these few times, Baoyu's heart suddenly turned cold.
It's just that I have been to the days of idle clouds and wild cranes, and it costs so much money.
Where can he get so much money?
So, our Second Master Bao got into trouble again, this time because of the filthy money.
