Chapter 25 The twenty-fifth day of being dressed as Jia Mu

"Master, you are trying to kill me." Mrs. Wang heard the beating as soon as she arrived. Before she could figure out the situation, she rushed over to hug Baoyu and yelled, and the room suddenly became quiet.

The old lady and the audience were all confused and speechless.

Mrs. Wang realized something was wrong after being reminded by Wang Xifeng beside her.

At this time, Jia Zheng's veins jumped, "You reminded me that this evil creature can cause trouble just by reading a book. Drag this shameful thing out..."

"No, Master!" Mrs. Wang was unwilling to do so. She protected Baoyu with one hand and turned to the upper head for help, "Grandpa, please save Baoyu. He has never been beaten."

Will the old lady save him? She was a little hesitant, but as long as she thought of Jia Baoyu reciting books at night, seemingly well-behaved, but messing around during the day, she was very angry.

Although the beating in the Red Mansion was not at this time, Jia Baoyu could not escape the beating anyway. It is better to be beaten earlier and wake up earlier.

So, she just pretended not to see it.

Jia Zheng didn't know what the old lady was thinking. Seeing that the old lady didn't react, he waved his hand decisively. Needless to say, the servants following Jia Zheng dragged Mingyan and Jia Baoyu out neatly.

Mrs. Wang's eyes were red with anger, "Let's see who dares!" She waved her arms, and her delicate nails scratched the servants' arms, but she couldn't stop the people from taking Baoyu out.

When the first board was hit, Baoyu and Mingyan screamed heartbreakingly, and Mrs. Wang's tears finally fell, "Master, Master, Baoyu is still young, you just teach him well."

"You know what he did in the private school" Jia Zheng was really angry. He always knew that Baoyu was a student who didn't go to school, but he knew it, but he didn't know that he could be so ignorant.

Jia Zheng felt sick just thinking about Xianglian and Aiyu.

"Dad, Dad, I didn't, I...ah!" Baoyu screamed, tears and snot. He just liked the good looks of Qin Zhong and the others. He didn't do anything, so why should he be beaten? "Ah! Dad..."

The old lady turned her head away, thought about it and said something to Yuanyang. Yuanyang nodded quickly, turned around, took a booklet and walked into the yard.

Mrs. Wang, who had been paying attention, looked at the old lady hurriedly, and then turned to Yuanyang hopefully.

Yuanyang stood in front of Baoyu, but said to Jia Zheng, "The ancestor ordered that if Master Bao can recite "Mencius" completely, he will be exempted from beating. If he can't recite it completely, he will still be beaten." Jia Zheng

frowned, but didn't say anything. Mrs. Wang's face was bleak. The hope that had just risen was shattered. She staggered and would have fallen if Wang Xifeng hadn't supported her.

She sobbed on Wang Xifeng's shoulder, Baoyu, how could she not know Baoyu's progress in reading, it's over, it's over! Old ancestor, how could the old ancestor be so cruel!!

But Baoyu's eyes lit up. He had been reciting "Mencius" in his dreams during this period, but he was very resistant, so he never showed it in the daytime. Unexpectedly, it has become a life-saving straw now.

So, when Yuanyang asked "King Xuan of Qi said: I have an illness, I am lustful. Mencius replied", Baoyu endured the pain and recited without thinking "In the past, the king was lustful and loved... At that time, there were no resentful women in the house and no lonely men outside..."①

When Baoyu finished reciting while panting but not stuttering, Mrs. Wang, who was sobbing beside him, stopped, and even Jia Zheng was a little surprised, but he didn't show anything on his face, just thinking that Yuanyang was deliberately asking about the passage that Baoyu knew.

He waved to Yuanyang, "Let me ask."

Yuanyang handed the book to Jia Zheng and stepped back.

Jia Zheng did not look through the book, but thought about it and asked, "A child sings a song." Baoyu leaned on the stool, sweat rolled down his forehead, but he quickly caught "Canglang water..." in his mouth.

Then, Jia Zheng asked a few more questions, but seeing that Baoyu could recite them one by one, he couldn't help but lose some of his temper. He snorted coldly, "Since you haven't fallen behind in your studies, I'll let you go this time."

Mrs. Wang was relieved and rushed over to help Baoyu off the stool.

"I didn't expect Baoyu to really memorize it these past few nights."

"He just doesn't like reading, but compared to being beaten with a stick, isn't it easier to memorize?"

"People really need to be pushed." "

In the face of reality, ideals are not worth mentioning."

"Not really, it should be said that Baoyu is too idealistic, but if you want to build an ideal country, you still have to integrate into the world first. '

The old lady also nodded at the head, but then she heard Baoyu say to Jia Zheng with difficulty, "Master, Mingyan fought with others in the clan school for me. Do you think you can forgive him this time?"

Because of Yuanyang's previous behavior, Mingyan's board was also suspended. He looked at Baoyu with a touching face.

'Baoyu actually pleaded for Mingyan. '

'Hahaha, who lost the bet just now? Is there a prize? '

'Shocked. '

'Shocked. '

'Poor Jinchuan and Qingwen. '

'Jia Baoyu should take the initiative to protect others because he sees that he is safe. He is merciless to his own wet nurse. This kind of person still has class privileges in his bones. ' '

Maybe, or maybe Mingyan is a cup of fragrant tea that quenches thirst, and Li Ma is just a useless old woman. '

'Dead fish eyes'

'... Old woman' '

Speaking of which, the old lady often calls herself an old woman. '

The old lady: ...

I am offended, thank you!

However, the old lady was indeed a little surprised that Jia Baoyu spoke up. As for Li Ma, the old lady had seen that plot. At that time, Jia Baoyu heard from the maid twice in a row that Li Ma touched his things.

One was a steamed bun that he specially left, and the other was a maple dew tea that he specially left for three times to be excellent.

People with a strong sense of territory will be disgusted by anyone, not to mention that someone touched their things twice, and they were specifically told to leave them, so they will definitely be angry.

Of course, there are also some aspects of Baoyu that are not very human, but it is not completely incomprehensible. Li Ma also has a posture of relying on her seniority and seniority.

Therefore, in this regard, the old lady does not comment too much.

At this moment, Jia Zheng listened to Baoyu's words, pinching his beard and about to nod, but heard the old ancestor speak, "You have a servant around you, you like him the most"

Baoyu knew that it was all thanks to his grandmother, and hurriedly said, "Mingyan is the smartest. He did it for me this time. If he is still beaten, how can I feel at ease?"

"Then I can't tolerate him." The old lady didn't care whether her turn was reasonable in the eyes of others, and said very calmly.

"Old ancestor!" Baoyu was really shocked.

"He went to make trouble for you. This time it was the clan school. If you fight with Qingyuan and others next time, will he also go up and shout "Ming Da Ye" and say dirty words all the time?" The old lady didn't really dislike Mingyan's cleverness and his flattery to Baoyu.

The servant around Jia Baoyu, this one understands Jia Baoyu's heart the most. Knowing that Baoyu doesn't like to go to school, he got him the books of Feiyan Hede, Xixiangji, etc. For Jia Baoyu, it is indeed a capable and clever servant.

But from the overall perspective, he is not as useful as Li Gui.

"Old lady, if you really want to punish Mingyan, Mingyan was misled by Jia Qiang and thought that Jin Rong had also involved Baoyu."

"Yes, if it was really the Prince of Anguo and Jia Baoyu who were fighting, Mingyan was not stupid, and she would not have

dared to be so rampant at that time." "More than rampant, Mingyan did not take the side branches of Huang Da Niang into consideration at all."

"This kind of dog relying on the power of others is very annoying, okay!"

"But he also helped Jia Baoyu to liberate his personality. Unlike Li Gui, the feudal remnant, he would only listen to Jia Zheng's orders. " "

But Mingyan's behavior is just to indulge Baoyu blindly, and it is just to gain a firm foothold beside Baoyu. " "

What the above said is also interesting. When Jia Baoyu was surrounded by a group of people who persuaded him to go to school, Mingyan did the opposite. Isn't it more heartwarming for Jia Baoyu? '

But Mingyan is also very loyal. As a personal servant, loyalty is what she wants. For example, she helps Baoyu with his books, pays tribute to Jinchuan, and helps him with Daiyu. Without Mingyan, Baoyu would definitely be inconvenient to act as his master. '

But in the long run, it is very disadvantageous. Jia She and Jia Zheng in Rongguo Mansion have not made any achievements. Jia Lian may inherit the title in the future. Baoyu has only the imperial examination. Mingyan is going against him at this time. How can it be good for Baoyu? '

A servant can't see that far.

'If such a spiritual person is the same as Li Gui, I would find it boring if I were Baoyu. '

But since he is a personal servant, he should also have the role of persuasion. How can he just obey? '

...

In fact, the old lady has the second view. The old lady's thoughts are still quite conservative. She admits that Mingyan is loyal, but he is like those "little yellow texts". In the eyes of the old lady, he is not suitable for Baoyu at this time.

Because Baoyu did not have a clear sense of right and wrong at this time, he was easily led astray.

In addition, Mingyan's arrogance of wanting the world to be in chaos was also disliked by the old lady. What's more, he was easily instigated and fooled, and he was spreading words everywhere to show off his ability. He himself could not see the context clearly, and might cause trouble one day.

Therefore, the old lady said to Jia Baoyu: "But considering his loyalty, first demote him to a rough servant in your yard, and then promote him back when he performs well."

Baoyu's nervous expression relaxed. He thought that as long as he was still in his yard, Mingyan would be able to return to him sooner or later, so he nodded in agreement. He did not see that the light in Mingyan's eyes dimmed for a moment.

This matter seemed to be resolved in this way, but it also exposed many problems within the Jia family school.

The old lady looked at Jia Zheng, "Jia Zhen is a person who doesn't care about things, and your elder brother is a fool in this regard. I will leave the clan school to you. If you mess it up again this time..." The old lady

glanced at Jia Zheng, who tightened his skin and nodded quickly, "My son will definitely reorganize the clan school." After that, he was relieved, knowing that this meant that the previous Heku Road incident was over.

After Jia Zheng and his people left, the old lady looked at the prince of Anguo, "This time it is all thanks to the prince."
