Jia Yujing of Red Mansion

Chapter 168: Wake up Jia Baoyu

Wang Yuyan wanted to take a group of girls back to Rongguo Mansion to look for Jia's mother, and Jia Baoyu naturally wanted to go back with her.

Everyone said goodbye to Jia Qiong, but he said unexpectedly: "Baoyu, please stay here for a while.

I happen to have time today, so I'm here to teach you about your homework. "

Jia Baoyu was stunned when he heard this, and said stumblingly: "No... don't bother Brother Qiong."

Jia Qiong smiled and said: "It's not troublesome, it's just idle time anyway."

Jia Baoyu looked at Wang Xifeng and others for help, hoping that someone could save him from the sea of ​​suffering.

Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "Brother Qiong, Baoyu finally got a holiday, please let him go."

Jia Qiong glanced at her lightly and said, "I don't know how to beat him, so how can I forgive him.

I finally have a little free time. There are not even [-] but [-] people in the world who want me to teach them, and I'm not too lazy to teach them. "

Wang Xifeng was stunned when she heard the words. She was usually eloquent and few people could say that about her.

But Jia Qiong was always frustrated and couldn't even say anything to refute.

Tanchun pushed Jia Baoyu and said, "Second brother, please ask Brother Qiong for advice. This is an opportunity that no one else can ask for."

Jia Baoyu looked at Lin Daiyu, this was his last hope.

But I heard Lin Daiyu also say: "Just listen to Brother Qiong, he is also doing it for your own good."

In Jia Baoyu's eyes, Jia Qiong has always been someone he looked up to. Although Jia Qiong was not much older than him, he was as awed by him as his father.

This was the first time he was alone with Jia Qiong. He stood there awkwardly, waiting for Jia Qiong to lecture him.

Jia Qiong looked at the 13-year-old boy and had many thoughts in his mind.

As far as Jia Qiong himself is concerned, he doesn't like or dislike Jia Baoyu.

Many people in later generations hated Jia Baoyu. In Jia Qiong's view, Jia Baoyu was just a spoiled child.

What's hateful about him is that he doesn't take responsibility, but what's valuable is that he's kind-hearted and really treats Lin Daiyu well.

Jia Qiong didn't have any feelings for Lin Daiyu, he just regarded her as a younger sister.

Since she still likes Jia Baoyu in this life, Jia Qiong might as well try to broker this alliance of wood and stone.

But the premise is that Jia Baoyu must make a change and become a man who can protect Daiyu from wind and rain, instead of just being a useless rich idler.

Jia Baoyu is the sweetheart of Jia's mother and the legitimate son of Jia Zheng.

If Jia Qiong can persuade him to take the right path, he will definitely win the favor of these two people.

It will also be helpful when he wants to seize the right to speak in the Jia family in the future.

Thinking of this, he pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Sit down, Baoyu, don't be so restrained.

I heard from Sister Lin that you like reading miscellaneous books very much, and you have also read the martial arts novels I wrote. What do you think of my writing? "

Jia Baoyu didn't expect that Jia Qiong would ask him this question. He was stunned for a moment and then said: "Brother Qiong's book is very good. I like to read it very much."

Jia Qiong smiled and said: "Then let me ask you, which character in the book do you most want to be?"

Jia Baoyu thought for a while and said, "Little Dragon Girl."

"...I'm talking about men."

"...Huang Yaoshi."

Jia Qiong nodded and said, "Many people like Huang Yaoshi.

Some people like his erudition, others like his unrestrained and unrestrained. What do you like about him? "

Jia Baoyu said: "Brother Qiong, among the characters in the novels you wrote, Huang Yaoshi, the owner of Peach Blossom Island, is the most carefree and carefree, like a fairy..."

Jia Qiong chatted with Jia Baoyu for a while. Seeing that he relaxed, she changed the subject and asked, "Baoyu, do you like Daiyu very much?"

Jia Baoyu was not ambiguous and admitted directly: "Yes, Brother Qiong, I like Sister Lin very much."

Jia Qiong nodded and asked, "Then do you want to marry her?"

"..." Jia Baoyu.

Before Jia Baoyu could answer, Jia Qiong continued: "Baoyu, you also know that Daiyu and I are sworn brothers and sisters.

When I returned to Beijing, Uncle Lin once asked me to take good care of her.

Daiyu is twelve years old. In three or four years, she will be talking about marriage.

The fifth generation prince of the Lin family, Uncle Lin Tanhua was noble and an important official in the imperial court.

Daiyu is Uncle Lin's only daughter. She will inherit all the Lin family's property in the future. There are countless people who want to get married.

Uncle Lin told me that he asked me to help him find a good marriage for Daiyu.According to Uncle Lin's wishes, the worst he could do was help Sister Lin find a Jinshi.

You know, I know a lot of young talents, so this is not difficult for me. "

Jia Baoyu was a little confused when he heard this, and he said nonchalantly: "Sister Lin doesn't care whether someone is a Jinshi or not, she won't."

Jia Qiong said calmly: "Parents' orders, matchmaker's words, children's marriages are naturally decided by parents.

You don’t know such a simple truth, right?

Not to mention Sister Lin, even if you are yourself, can you be your own master? "

Jia Baoyu was speechless. Facing Jia Qiong, he didn't even have the courage to lose his temper and throw the jade.

Jia Qiong continued: "Baoyu, the reason why I am telling you this today is to make you understand.

If you don't study hard, Sister Lin will leave you soon.

You like Huang Yaoshi's carefreeness, but do you know why he can be carefree and carefree?

Just because of his incredible martial arts skills, no one dares to mess with him.

If he was just an unknown person with low martial arts skills, any expert could kill him.

How could he keep his Peach Blossom Island?

How could he be carefree and at ease?

Even Huang Yaoshi was not the best in the world, so his wife Feng Heng died of physical and mental exhaustion in order to help him memorize the Nine Yin Sutra.

Baoyu, if you are not good at literature or martial arts, you will just be a wealthy and idle person at home.

Once the family falls, even if you marry Sister Lin, how can you protect her for the rest of her life? "

Jia Baoyu had begun to doubt himself at this time, and he stared at Jia Qiong with blank eyes.

Jia Qiong continued to give strong medicine: "Baoyu, do you know why Sister Yuanchun was sent to the palace at such a young age?"

Jia Baoyu shook his head blankly.

"Because the men in the Jia family are incompetent, if something happens and the Jia family is ransacked and questioned, no one can protect the family.

If that day comes, you and your parents will be exiled to the frontier, starved and cold, and die in a foreign land.

Your sisters will be sold into slavery, or even sold into brothels, where they will be humiliated and played with at will.

In order to prevent this tragedy from happening, Sister Yuanchun endured the pain of separation since she was a child, and went to the palace to serve as a humble female history.

She is for you, for your parents, so that you can enjoy wealth and prosperity.

Sister Yuanchun is a weak woman like this, but you, a young man, have the nerve to be a wealthy and idle man with peace of mind?
The ancestors of my Jia family are so heroic. When did our descendants fall to such a low level? How come they all became useless people who relied on women to keep their wealth? "

Jia Qiong's words were like a bolt from the blue. Jia Baoyu, who grew up in a wealthy village, had never thought about these cruel issues.

So when Jia Qiong put these bloody facts before his eyes, Jia Baoyu's outlook on life began to collapse.

His mind kept replaying the tragic scenes of Jia's family being confiscated, his parents being exiled to a bitter cold land, and Sister Lin and Sanchun being sold into a brothel.

He felt a sharp pain in his heart, his eyes were blurred, and he murmured to himself: "I am a useless person, I am a useless person, I can't protect you..."

Seeing that he was confused, Jia Qiong slapped him hard on the face.

Jia Baoyu was instantly awakened by the pain on his face. He covered his face and looked at Jia Qiong blankly.

Jia Qiong looked into his eyes and asked word for word: "Tell me, do you want to be a useless person?"

"No, I don't want to."

"louder please!"

"In no mood!"

Jia Qiong smiled with satisfaction and said: "Very good, this is what the son of the Jia family should be like.

Baoyu, I am telling you all this just to give you a chance to make your marriage with Sister Lin come true.

You are extremely smart. As long as you do what I say, you will definitely be on the gold medal list within three to five years.

Only in this way can you be qualified to marry Sister Lin, and be able to protect her throughout her life, and only then can Uncle Lin betrothed her to you with confidence. "

For Jia Qiong, it is easy to brainwash a twelve or thirteen-year-old child with an unsound mind.

His preaching has completely changed Jia Baoyu's thinking and made him regard Jia Qiong as a guiding light.

Jia Qiong then gave him some intensive education and instilled some chicken soup for the soul.

Then he took him back to Rongguo Mansion and went to Mengpo Zhai to look for Jia Zheng.
