Chapter 160 A good person may not necessarily be a qualified person
Jia Baoyu met Feng Ziying at the corner gate of the mansion.
His emotions and expressions are very complicated, and it is difficult to sum it up in a word.
For more than a month, it has been a torment for him, so much so that even the obstinate thoughts of going to sister Lin's place have faded a lot.
The master has already told his ancestors that he has no choice but to let him study.
It is said that the master and the ancestor argued for a long time in the ancestor's room. According to Sister Yuanyang, she never had such a thing after being with the ancestor for so many years.
The master served his mother very filially, Jia Baoyu had never seen his father disobeying his grandmother's wishes, but this time it seemed that the master did not back down, but the grandmother did.
This made Jia Baoyu feel desperate.
Later, a dispute broke out between the father and mother. It is said that the mother wiped tears in the house for two days, but failed to change the father's decision.
The reason why my father is so firm this time is said to have a lot to do with the high-spirited Feng Dalang in front of him.
It was also revealed in the mother's words that my uncle admired Feng Ziying very much, and there was a lot of admiration in her words. It is estimated that uncle and father said something that made father make up his mind.
This made Jia Baoyu feel a little resentful towards his uncle. Your own son can't read well, so why do you think you can?
Feng Ziying didn't feel so much about Jia Baoyu's expression and mood beside him. At this time, he was even more interested in admiring the magnificence of the Rongxi Hall of Jia's family.
The five main rooms are lined up, and the side rooms on both sides are deer-topped and the ear rooms are drilled into the mountains. The three large characters "Rongxi Hall" on the red gold plaque are extraordinarily magnificent, and the name is "Wanji Chenhan Zhibao". Feng Ziying knew that this should be Guangyuan Emperor's calligraphy.
As expected of the mansion of the Duke of the State, this luxurious style is really unmatched by others. Feng Ziying has never been to other mansions of the Four Kings and Eight Dukes, but I guess that even the mansion of the Four Kings is not much better than this mansion of the Duke of Rong.
With six to seventy years of accumulation, under deliberate management, this Rongxi Hall is really a treasure. No wonder Jia Zheng wants to see him here, and he probably has some publicity in mind.
"The jewels on the seat illuminate the sun and the moon, and the front of the hall glows with haze." Feng Ziying softly recited the couplets on both sides, and then looked at the handwriting of Dongping County King Mu Shi, and sneered in her heart.
The Duke of Dongping's family is really a restless master. No wonder the father hates the Prince of Dongping so much. I didn't expect that the relationship between this family and Jia's family is so irresistible. It seems that this is the real family friend, Feng. This family friend really doesn't count.
"Brother Feng, this way." Jia Baoyu led the way.
"Okay." Feng Ziying followed behind, "Brother Bao seems to have lost a lot of weight these days, so pay attention to your bones."
Jia Baoyu smiled wryly, it wasn't all caused by the things you caused, but these words can't be said to others, "Well, I didn't feel refreshed a while ago, but it's much better these days."
"Well, take advantage of the peace and quiet after the new year, and take care of yourself." Feng Ziying warned: "You are at the age when you are growing up, so you should be careful about your diet and daily life."
Jia Baoyu couldn't bear it any longer, "Brother Feng, I really want to take care of my younger brother. I'm afraid the master has other arrangements. When the master sees you today, he might have something to ask."
Feng Ziying didn't pretend to be surprised, she nodded, "You're ten years old after the new year, it's normal for Uncle Shi to have some thoughts. I'm afraid uncle wants to rely on you to save face for the Jia family."
Seeing that Feng Ziying hit the point with one sentence, Jia Baoyu couldn't care less, "Brother Feng, but my younger brother doesn't like reading since he was a child, especially those classics, righteousness and policy theories. Common things, what does it have to do with my younger brother? The master only wants his younger brother to study, but he never considers his thoughts."
Feng Ziying could understand Jia Baoyu's mood.
No one likes someone to force him to do something he doesn't like, and Jia Baoyu has been spoiled and indulged since he was a child. For example, if a wild horse without a bridle is suddenly locked up at this time, it will naturally have a lot of resistance.
The problem is that you are the son of the second house of the Rongguo Mansion. When Jia Lian failed to study, but there was another Jia Zhu who was successful in studying but died early, it is inevitable that everyone will think that you can also read like your elder brother Jia Zhu. .
Aren't you born with jade in your mouth and have great fortune?And everyone thinks that you are also smart and savvy, so you can't be worse than your elder brother, right?
Jia Zhu can be awarded as a scholar at the age of 14 and rushed to raise people. If he hadn't died of illness early, he would not dare to say that he won a Jinshi now, at least he would be safe to raise people.
I didn't expect you, Jia Baoyu, to be a Jinshi, but at least you can follow your brother Zhu's example and become a scholar, right?
"Brother Bao, you have to be considerate of Uncle Shi's feelings." Feng Ziying didn't expect that she hadn't seen Jia Zheng yet, but she had to do some ideological work for him first, and it was estimated that he would be exhausted for more than a month.
Jia Baoyu was really depressed and distressed, there were hundreds of people in this house, but he couldn't find a suitable person to pour out his inner distress.
Lian's second elder brother, Rong, and the like naturally wouldn't listen to this, they had their own ideas, had their own fun, and couldn't understand their own troubles at all.
If you go to talk about these things to Sister Lin and Third Sister, it seems to be inappropriate. You should solve these things by yourself. What is it if you go to complain to a girl younger than yourself?
After much calculation, it seems that only this elder brother Feng who has become his role model is barely suitable, although he really doesn't have much affection for this elder brother Feng.
"Now besides you, who else is there in your Jia family? Jia Huan or Jia Lan?" Feng Ziying earnestly said, "Jia Lan is still young, so it's hard to say, but if you don't want to study, Brother Huan really needs to be able to read. what would you do?"
"What should I do?" Jia Baoyu was stunned and didn't realize it for a while. Isn't it a good thing that Jia Huan can read?There is a scholar from the Jia family, just like the eldest brother or Uncle Jing from the Ningfu in the east, who is finally a bit of a facade.
Feng Ziying glanced at the ignorant guy, stopped in her tracks, and didn't go any further.
When I went inside and met Jia Zheng, I couldn't say anything.
Feng Ziying still had the same point of view. If you say that Jia Baoyu is not a bad person, he can even be said to be kind-hearted, and he can be regarded as one of the pioneers of the concept of equality between men and women.
Of course, his equality between men and women is based on the premise of equal status. If the status is not equal, then don't mention it.
The advantages are obvious, but the disadvantages are more, um, and they are basically fatal shortcomings, especially fatal shortcomings and weaknesses in this cannibalistic society.
One is that you can't see the situation. Your son-in-law doesn't study. If Jia Huan, who is a concubine, reads, how can you be yourself?Have you thought about it?Especially when Mrs. Wang and Aunt Zhao are in the same situation.
The second is that there is no ideal goal, and you just want to dawdle, which is the most dangerous. The Jia family itself is in a whirlpool, and you are still in the world all day long, so there is really a comparison. A blind man rides a blind horse, and he faces a deep pool at midnight .
The third is that there is no willpower, determination, and courage to bear.This is not brought by nature, but acquired. Although he is still young, it is very difficult to completely reverse this kind of personality.
As for the performance, there are too many sad stories in the book "Dream of Red Mansions", all of which stem from his weakness of character. Of course, these character traits are partly due to the previous two weaknesses.
You can't see the situation clearly, you're dawdling, although you still look dignified, and you're one of the top figures in Jia's mansion, but that's just staying on your own person, and the weight of other things related to you is already huge Discounted, no one will care too much about what you care about.
Then everything can only be arranged by the family members, you have no right to speak, you want to resist and struggle, do you have the strength?Will people take your resistance and struggle seriously?
So in the end it is a failure, and Jia Baoyu is the most failed person in the whole "Dream of Red Mansions".
In Feng Ziying's view, no matter how Cao Gong praised and beautified Jia Baoyu's pursuit of free personality and love, and contempt for the feudal system, you have to admit the fact that under the mainstream environment at that time, you did not have the ability to overthrow and veto this. In all cases, whether you act rashly or follow the crowd, it is a manifestation of irresponsibility and hooliganism.
You and Lin Daiyu were intimate with each other, and gave people unlimited hope, but in the end they succumbed to the family arrangement and were cowardly, making a helpless girl completely desperate. Are you a hooligan?
It doesn't matter if you tease Jin Chuan'er, you are the young master, of course you have the right, but if something happens, you have to bear it, if you don't have the courage to do it, why are you playing suave?
It's okay if you like Qingwen's enchanting and pungent personality, but you have to think carefully about what will come from this kind of personality that you like or even deliberately indulge?Do you have the ability to block the wind knife and frost sword from the outside outside the small courtyard door and window?If you don't have the ability, don't die.
Of course, Feng Ziying knows that these are some of the views she got from reading "A Dream of Red Mansions". Well, very manly, Jia Baoyu herself may not be able to realize it even if she dies, and others in this era may not be able to understand it, or even understand it. Nor can it be approved.
So even if I want to have a heart-to-heart talk with him, firstly, the timeline has not yet come, so it is impossible to talk about it, and secondly, it is impossible to get much substantive effect, so talking about it is useless.
So Feng Ziying planned to talk to the other party. After all, this person's quality is not bad, but he will have reservations about what he says, and how much the other party can accept depends on his own understanding and good luck.
