Chapter 488 The Second Brother Has Changed
"Second Brother Bao, do you know what is meant by 'the old swallows before Wang Xietang flew into the homes of ordinary people'?"

Jia Baoyu's eyes showed doubts. This is a famous sentence in Liu Yuxi's "Brown Clothes Lane".
"Second brother, I just want you to help redeem Ling'er's mother from the Zhang family in Luoshui. Why are you telling me this?"

Jia Baoyu's ignorant look made Jia Qing twitch the corners of his mouth, and said in a different tone: "Okay, since Second Brother Bao asked me to save someone, then I want to know who it is, whether it was the master's order or Bao Er's." Brother, what do you mean?"

"No, it's not what the master meant. It's me. It's me who saw Ling'er's sister crying, that's why I wanted to bring her mother into our house, so that Ling'er would no longer be a lonely person in this house. She won't be sad anymore.

Besides, our family and Liu's family used to be regarded as family friends. Now that their family is in trouble, it is time for us to help them. "

Jia Qing knew what was going on as soon as she heard it, it must be that girl named Ling'er who often cried in front of Jia Baoyu, which made Jia Erbao feel pity and pity for her.Then spare no effort to run around and do things for it, and don't consider anything else, in order to be able to win the favor of the beautiful woman.

O man!

Jia Qing didn't believe a word of what Jia Baoyu said later about friendship and loyalty, so he asked: "Second Brother Bao is also reasonable. As family friends, it is also necessary to support and take care of each other. However, the combined Liu family is at least There are also hundreds of people, does Second Brother Bao want to bring them all to the mansion?"

Jia Baoyu said: "That's not true, we can't accommodate so many people in our house, but when I go back and ask Sister Ling'er, let her tell me about the girls in her family who are far more beautiful than her. The children are all born elves and gods, and should not be polluted by the filth of this world, we just need to rescue them."

"Pfft." Wang Xifeng let out a sneer, she couldn't bear it after listening to the two brothers' words for a long time.The meaning of Jia Baoyu's words is: if you look good, you shouldn't suffer. As for other people, what should you do with him.

Jia Qing didn't laugh, because he knew that this was in line with Jia Baoyu's trend of thought.

Many people, especially lustful ones, have such thoughts. Jia Qing even admired Jia Baoyu's ability to speak out without any scruples.

Jia Baoyu wanted to save people, no matter what the reason was, it was out of good intentions.However, he didn't realize that his kindness violated the way of survival of an aristocratic family.

Since ancient times, the rich and famous families have not known the old friends.Why, once a family is ransacked and a family is destroyed, there are so few people who can lend a helping hand?Is it a cold world?Indeed, but the deeper reason should be self-protection.

After the high-ranking officials and nobles were ransacked and wiped out, their wives and daughters lived in misery. This means "superior", no matter whether the superior cares or not, whoever dares to help at this time is to save the superior's face!

Especially families with good friends should be more cautious, because it is easy to be branded as an accomplice.It is not unreasonable why a big family buys a person with an innocent net worth, because it can avoid a lot of unnecessary troubles.

The house of Shoushanbo was ransacked for questioning, and the man in charge was either killed or exiled to a remote and cold place.The remaining female family members were all classified as slaves, and were resold to various places like the servants of the Hefu.

At Jia Baoyu's plea, Jia's mother bought Liu Lingshu back, which actually violated the prudence of a big family.

Fortunately, given the current situation in Jia's mansion, such a slight and inconspicuous purchase of a sinner is nothing compared to the name of benevolence and righteousness harvested.

But if Jia Baoyu followed Jia Baoyu's idea and sent all the people from Shoushanbo's mansion to their homes, not to mention whether these people would cause trouble, but to say that this matter was known by interested people, and with malicious promotion and dissemination, then Jia's mansion would be destroyed. It's really heartbreaking.At this time, others would not think that it was Jia's benevolence, but that he was stupid.

The truth is the same, but the degree is different.

This kind of good thing can only be done quietly and in other ways.

If only focusing on this issue, Jia Qing would not spend so much time talking with Jia Baoyu here...

"Second brother Bao, it stands to reason that you are an older brother, so I should obey you and respect you so as not to lose the meaning of filial piety. However, there are some things I still have to tell you."

Jia Qing's face was full of sternness, and his tone was so solemn that Jia Baoyu instantly realized that what Jia Qing said next would be very unfriendly.

"I know that Brother Bao doesn't like to study and learn, and he doesn't like the so-called high-ranking officials. As you said, become a great sage who has achieved fame and great honor in the country, because that is not you, Brother Bao, at all.

However, as a child of the Jia family, there are some basic things that cannot be forgotten!We have enjoyed the honor bestowed by the Jia family, and we must consider the word Jia on the top of our heads when we act and do things. Even if we cannot protect this honor, we must not do the act of digging boats and removing nails!
I can answer you clearly, what you just said, I can't help you.It's not that I don't want to help you, nor that I can't do it, but, I think that when you did this, Brother Bao, you didn't consider the gains and losses of the Jia family at all, and you didn't realize that your actions might affect your life. It will adversely affect the tranquility of the entire Jia family!

If Second Brother Bao thinks he is doing the right thing, then I expect Second Brother Bao to use your own ability to save people, instead of begging me or your ancestors here.If Second Brother Bao can accomplish this, it means that you, Second Brother Bao, are capable of escorting the Jia family. I believe Second Uncle will be very happy when he finds out (in fact, Jia Zheng will definitely compare Jia Qing Ten times more serious tone taught him).

In the end, I would like to say that even if a man is born in the world, even if he can’t make a name for himself and make a great contribution for the present and benefit the future, at least he must do his best to protect the safety of his home, his wife and children.This is the most basic responsibility of every good man!
Since we are all descendants of Jia's family, Jia's mansion is a place that we must protect, so that our younger generations can also be proud of being born in Jia's family.I don't want to see that one day the literati standing next to me stand in front of the gate of my Ningrong Second Mansion, reciting the song "Wow Clothes Lane" with emotion.Even if there is such a day, we must do our best to push it to dozens of generations, or even a hundred generations later!Only when this is done, are we qualified to do other things, such as helping others. "

Jia Baoyu's face turned dark when Jia Qing said he would not help him.Fortunately, he has a good self-cultivation, and he trusts Jia Qing very much, so he only heard to the end.Unexpectedly, Jia Qing not only criticized him, but also encouraged him to save others by himself?

What a joke, he went to save people!It's not that he ordered no one to help him, but that he simply couldn't resist the suppression from Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang, and even Jia's mother!This is also the fundamental social status quo that he has no control over Rongguo Mansion.

Jia Qing didn't deliberately hit Jia Baoyu to show off his ability.Rather, Jia Baoyu is indeed not an ordinary person, and in a few years, when his social circle expands, who knows what other fucking things he will do.But he is also a kid who has no ability to wipe his butt, and will only run away when things happen.Therefore, it is better to let him recognize the reality earlier!

To put it simply, what he meant was: If you don't have the ability to fart, just stay at home honestly, come out less and meddle in your own business.

Seeing that Jia Baoyu was motionless, Jia Qing didn't care. He exchanged a glance with Wang Xifeng, noticed the surprise in the other's eyes, ignored him, and let the servant girl push him forward.

Wang Xifeng looked at Jia Baoyu, didn't say much, shook his head and turned around, only to find that Jia Qing, who had just left, stopped again and raised his head to look forward.

"Uh, baby girl, when did you come here?"

At some point, Xue Baochai and her maid Ying'er were already standing in front of the carved beams, but they were facing their backs just now, but they didn't realize it.

"Not long after I arrived, Sister Feng and Brother Qing, where are you going?"

Xue Baochai walked up slowly and asked casually.

"Hey, it's rare for him to come here. He wants to see his niece, so I'll take him there."

Xue Baochai nodded and said to Jia Qing, "Is your injury better?"

"Sister Lao's note, it's almost ready."

"That's good. My mother asked me to visit you yesterday, but I know that your house is busy these days, so I didn't dare to bother you."

Jia Qing suddenly laughed and said: "What is this? If Sister Bao comes, I will definitely sweep the couch and welcome Sister Bao..."

Xue Baochai frowned and swept the couch waiting for the meaning of the word to be correct, but felt that the taste was a bit weird.

But she didn't think much about it, and after exchanging these two words of greeting, Xue Baochai looked at Jia Baoyu who was still standing there, and said, "Okay, then you go, brother Bao and I will sit in the old lady's room."

"Okay, goodbye, sister Bao..."

Jia Qing waved his hand to say goodbye, and successfully got a few beautiful eyes.

Watching Jia Qing go away, Xue Baochai withdrew her thoughts, turned around, but was surprised.

"Brother Bao?"

At this time, Jia Baoyu's face was covered with tears.

Xue Baochai really didn't expect that Jia Baoyu... was actually told by Jia Qing that he was crying?

She heard most of Jia Qing's words just now. Although she didn't know the specific reason, she could still hear that Jia Qing's words meant to mention Jia Baoyu.Although it felt a bit unreasonable for the younger brother to teach the elder brother a lesson, but he didn't cry because of it!
"Okay, brother Bao, don't cry, let people see the joke."

Jia Baoyu is the tip of Jia Mu's heart, whoever dares to make him cry in the whole house will not give up easily if Jia Mu knows.She didn't want to make this matter a big deal and hurt the relationship between the two brothers.

Jia Baoyu finally focused his gaze on Xue Baochai, was stunned for a while, and Fang mumbled, "Second brother, he has changed!"
