The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 295 Deafening
Even though Mu Xu said so, he couldn't bear to refute Daiyu's intentions, so he changed the subject and said, "I just thought of a suitable candidate, and I'm about to tell you about it."

When Daiyu and the others heard this, they all showed curiosity. When Mu Xu saw this, he didn't hold back, and said with a smile, "I'm talking about the third uncle's second grandson, Tuhong. That kid is sixteen years old and hasn't married yet. He said that he is quite motivated and has a calm and capable personality, so he is the perfect candidate." After finishing speaking, he joked, "If Sister Qiao really participates in the general election and is pointed out to one of my cousins, after that How can this seniority be calculated?"

Several people laughed when they heard the words, and Sister Qiao blushed even more reluctantly, "Oh, uncle, what are you talking about!"

After a long quarrel, Daiyu finally said to Wang Xifeng, "When I went to visit Princess Zhongli, I met that Tu Hong, he is really a young talent."

Wang Xifeng made up his mind, although that Tu Hong is not the eldest grandson, at least he can get the title of County King in the future.Furthermore, my family said it was the mansion of the Duke of the State, but in fact it was only a first-class general, and the old lady has gone now, so it might be inappropriate to hang the plaque of the Rongguo Mansion.And the most important point, if sister Qiao is asked to participate in the general election, let alone whether she can be elected, even if she is elected, she may be a side concubine, and the character of her future son-in-law cannot be guaranteed.

After thinking about these things, Wang Xifeng was very willing, and quickly bowed to Mu Xufu and said, "Then please leave this matter to my brother-in-law, you must make it happen."

Mu Xu gave a little support with his hand, but said in his mouth, "Second sister-in-law may have worshiped the wrong Buddha this time, you should ask Yu'er."

Wang Xifeng was very puzzled, and even Daiyu was also puzzled, "How did you say it was so good, it's brought to me again?"

Mu Xu shook his head and laughed, "As long as you are still court wives, let me ask you, who is in charge of general elections?"

"You mean the empress dowager?" Daiyu blurted out.

Mu Xu still shook his head and said, "If my guess is correct, the empress should preside over the general election this time. Think about it, if it is for the emperor to enrich the harem, then it must be the empress dowagers of the two palaces, but this time it is clear that it is for the children of the royal family. For choosing a concubine, of course grandma and aunt won't be needed." Seeing Daiyu and the others nodding, he continued with a smile,
"Yu'er and the queen are inseparable, so you can tell what she has to say, and I will say hello to the third uncle in advance, and I will bring sister Qiao to visit when I have time, the third aunt and cousin, so it will not be difficult. Is it safe? When it comes to the general election, let Qiao Jie go through the motions, so as not to be tossed about by those mothers in the palace!"

Mu Xu's arrangement made Wang Xifeng smile, and then he was a little worried about his gains and losses, and couldn't help asking, "It would be great to be like my brother-in-law said, but I'm afraid there will be twists and turns in the middle."

Daiyu comforted, "Don't worry, I'll enter the palace to see the queen in two days, so it won't be a big problem."

Seeing that Mu Xu and his wife were so determined, Wang Xifeng put her heart back into her stomach, and then she couldn't help feeling complacent, feeling that she was very prescient. Fortunately, she has maintained a good relationship with Sister Lin and his wife all these years. Did it come in handy?She has always been a good-looking person, and now that she has finished the important matter on her mind, she shifted the topic of the conversation to the family without a trace, and the Jia family's second bedroom was mentioned many times.For example, when she mentioned Li Wan, she called Qu Dao,
"Speaking of sister-in-law Zhu, in the early years, I felt that she was a bit cold-hearted, and couldn't tolerate other things in her heart except Brother Lang. In the past, people in the family always gossiped and said that I was greedy for money, but they I only saw me making money, but I never saw how much money I put in for the housekeeper. At that time, I almost lost the dowry. Do you think I am wronged?"

"The most irritating thing is that when everyone talks about sister-in-law Zhu, they always praise her, saying how difficult it is for her to be a widow with a child alone. But they never think about it, whether it's the monthly payment or the annual income from the mansion. For rare things, she takes as much as the two masters, but who has seen her give away a penny? She is a Pixiu, and she has never been able to get in or out."

Daiyu heard her talking more and more unlike, and hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law Zhu is not easy. After all, she is young and widowed. We should forgive her. No matter how you say it, she has raised Brother Lang well."

Mu Xu didn't agree with Daiyu's words, "You are wrong. Li's son, Jia Lan, has limited prospects in this life, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to become a noble person."

Daiyu argued dissatisfiedly, "Your words are really unreasonable, but I know that Lang Geer has been very motivated since she was a child, and she is also good at reading. It shouldn't be a problem."

Wang Xifeng didn't like Li Wan, but she had a good impression of Jia Lan, so she agreed, "Sister Lin is right, Boy Lan is indeed very motivated, he is far better than Sister Qiao and her younger brother."

In Mu Xu's previous life, he had seen posterity's guesses about Jia Lan's ending, and many people agreed with one of them, that is, Jia Lan was the last hope of the Jia Mansion, and he would get a high official and generous salary in the future.The specific reason is that there is a sentence in Li Wan's judgment, "He wears hairpin tassels on his head proudly, and a golden seal hangs on his chest shining brightly." Therefore, later generations judged that Jia Lan became a high-ranking official in the end, otherwise how could Li Wan become a first-rank imperial order.

But Mu Xu has a different opinion. He thinks that even if Jia Lan became a high-ranking official, it is not necessarily because of his studies. There is also a possibility that Jia Lan finally inherited the title of Rongguo Mansion.This is really not an unfounded guess. When Li Jia's mansion was copied in the original text, all the masters and sons did not end well, but there was one exception, that is, Li Wan's mother and son. The reason was that Li Wan was a chaste woman. amnesty of the law.

In this case, Mu Xu's conjecture made sense. You must know that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although the Rijia Mansion was defeated in the original book, the contacts left behind are still there, and they are decent in the royal family.This can be seen from the couplets in his family's ancestral hall. Among the three couplets, except for the one of the descendants of Confucius, the remaining two are written by the emperor, and one is written by the late emperor. And children and grandchildren." The other copy is even more terrible, it was written by the Taizu, and its agreement, "My descendants inherit the blessings, and Li Shu still remembers Ning Rong."

It can be said that if Jia Yan and Jia Yuan's generation hadn't had two brothers, they would definitely have been crowned kings. This shows the great meritorious service of the ancestors of the Jia family.Therefore, after the original Lijia Mansion was copied, if the later emperors recite the merits of their ancestors, it is very likely that his family will be reinstated. At that time, Jia Lan may inherit a title that is even greater than Jia She, because Jia Lan is the only child left in the first branch of the Rongning Second Mansion, and he is equivalent to inheriting the remaining veins of the two Duke Mansions.

As for how good Jia Lan is at reading, in Mu Xu's opinion, it's just a joke.Just learn that virtue from the Jia family, what kind of good reading seeds can you teach?Is it by relying on a group of classmates who are dawdling, or by Jia Dairu, a guy who is not even a man?
However, the Rongguo Mansion has not been defeated in this life, and Jia Lan has no chance to pick peaches at all, so Mu Xu said that it is difficult to enter the hall of elegance.Of course, this reason cannot be stated clearly, but it can’t help Mu Xu. He just heard him say, "The reason why I said that is the result of my mother Li. If you think about it carefully, Li is a self-defeating Menqianxue's temperament, what kind of children will she educate? I think she is withdrawn and doesn't like to socialize, am I right?"

Daiyu and Wang Xifeng looked at each other, wanting to refute a few words, but they had to admit that what Mu Xu said was true, so Jia Lan was like that!Sister Qiao didn't care about her mother's expression, she clapped her hands and said, "Uncle's words are very true, Second Grandpa always said that Big Brother Lan has a weird heart."

Mu Xu raised his eyebrows, smiled and said to Daiyu and the two of them, "I have nothing to say now, for people like us, whether they read well or not is just icing on the cake. The most important thing is to let them learn from childhood. If you want to know how to deal with people, you must know that a hero has three gangs, if you fight alone, you are destined to not go far in the officialdom."

Daiyu gave Mu Xu a white look, and said, "Since you are so powerful, why not tell me what kind of person Xia Jingui is."

Mu Xu disdainfully said, "She has nothing to say, but she's just a perverse, moody vicious shrew."

"Brother-in-law's words are really penetrating." Before Daiyu could speak, Wang Xifeng couldn't help nodding, and even agreed, "Since the old lady passed away for more than a year, Sheyue in Baoyu's room was forced to look for her. As a result of his short-sightedness, Bihen married an old widower who raised horses, and the rest of them may end up in trouble."

Daiyu frowned and said, "Second brother Bao just let his wife do what he wants?"

Just as Wang Xifeng was about to answer, he suddenly remembered that Mu Xu was a very accurate judge of people, so he simply put him to the test, "My brother-in-law's evaluation of sister-in-law Zhu just hit the nail on the head, how about talking about Baoyu?"

"What's so difficult about it? He can be summed up in two words, incompetent and irresponsible."

A girl at Qiaojie's age admires Jia Baoyu, a man who is as gentle as water to women, so after hearing what Mu Xu said, she immediately quit, "Uncle's words are too biased. Uncle Bao also has advantages, for example, he respects girls more."

"Ha, this is really a big joke!" Mu Xu made an exaggerated expression, as if he heard something extremely incredible.

Qiaojie's pretty face turned red, she took Daiyu's hand and complained, "Auntie, look at Uncle, what does he mean by that, am I wrong?"

Daiyu patted the back of Qiaojie's hand and comforted her, "No hurry, let's listen to him and finish first, then it won't be too late!"

Facing the eyes of the three, Mu Xu acted indifferently, "I heard that Jia Baoyu often said that daughters are made of water, and men are made of mud. When I see my daughter, I feel very refreshed. When I see a man, I feel refreshed." I feel filthy and smelly! Is there such a thing?"

Not only Daiyu and Wang Xifeng had heard this, but Sister Qiao had heard it all these years, so they all nodded in agreement.Seeing this, Mu Xu asked back, "Since he distinguishes between men and women in this way, why does he himself stay in the crowd of daughters all day long? Doesn't it ruin his daughter's house? How can this be respected?"

The three of them were speechless, but Mu Xu continued to chase after the victory, "Jia Baoyu also said that her daughter's family is like pearls before she is married, and she is like the eyes of a dead fish when she is married. According to him, the one who loves him the most What are grandmothers and mothers? If you look at this carefully, it is a big disobedience." At this point, he stopped to take a sip of tea, and then said,
"Sister Qiao said that Jia Baoyu respected his daughter's family. In my opinion, it cannot stand scrutiny at all. If he really respects his daughter's family, he should protect them from the wind and rain after he provokes them. But how did he do it? If You think it’s right for a guy who only covers his ears and pretends to be a coward, then I have nothing to say. There is a saying that describes his actions, which is very appropriate: I don’t kill Boren, but Boren because of me and die."

In the past, Daiyu and the others only thought that Jia Baoyu was a little weaker, but there was nothing wrong with others. But today, when Mu Xu talked about it from another angle, people couldn't help but realize that Jia Baoyu's deeds actually made people feel weak. Humans are disgusting.
