The Red Chamber begins with a bastard

Chapter 53

Lin Daiyu spat lightly: "Come on, I won't worry about your weird ideas."

Jia Huan said with a smile: "Sister Lin, don't you think these weird ideas are very interesting? By the way, I have more strange ideas. For example, the book says that the sky is round and the earth is square. Is this true? Could the earth be round? After all, the moon is round and the sun is also round."

Lin Daiyu couldn't laugh or cry and said: "How can the earth be round, Huan'er, if you think about it wildly, you will be in a daze."

Jia Huan shook his head and said, "That's not the case. I always believe that continuous exploration of the unknown is the source of our human civilization's continuous progress."

Lin Daiyu couldn't help showing a thoughtful look when she heard the words, Jia Huan said again: "By the way, chickens are hatched from eggs, and eggs are laid by chickens. So in this world, did the chicken or the egg come first?"

Lin Daiyu was immediately stopped by the question again, and was so angry that she wanted to hit someone with a handkerchief wrapped in petals, she turned around and left, not wanting to pay any attention to Jia Huan.

But Jia Huan chased forward very ignorantly and said: "Sister Lin, I still have many questions that I can't understand, such as why summer is hot and winter is cold, why do leaves turn yellow in autumn? Do fish have to live in water? Are people really made out of mud by Empress Nuwa? Is it possible that they were transformed by monkeys?"

"Don't ask me, I don't know anything, it's just nonsense, how could a person be a monkey..." Lin Daiyu felt that she would go crazy if she said one more word to Jia Huan, his questions were simply... nonsense.

Jia Huan stopped in his tracks and said with a smile, "Okay, I won't ask any more, but where is the sachet that Sister Lin promised to make for me last time? Could it be that she forgot?"

Lin Daiyu turned around suddenly, stretched out her hand and said angrily, "Where's the script of the Palace of Eternal Life? You won't forget it too, right?"

"Of course not. I'll let Xueyan come and pick it up later. I've finished writing." Jia Huan said.

Lin Daiyu turned angry when she heard the words. Since the last time she sent Xueyan to ask for the script but failed, she thought that Jia Huan blamed herself for the jade falling, so she stopped going to Jia Huan.

"No need, I'll go get it with you now." Lin Daiyu couldn't wait.

Jia Huan said with a smile: "I still have to go to the third sister's place, or you can go get it yourself, Ping'er knows where I put it, but it's agreed, you can't write comments on it."

Lin Daiyu teased: "I see, Jia (fake) talented person has devoted so much effort to the masterpiece, how dare the little girl criticize it indiscriminately, isn't she afraid of making the generous family laugh?"

Jia Huan couldn't help being dumbfounded, Lin Daiyu's characteristic is her barbed speech, and in the original novel, Shi Xiangyun was often ridiculed by her.

Lin Daiyu burst out laughing, turned around happily and moved away, just now she was confused by Jia Huan's series of strange questions, and now she finally returned to Yicheng.

When Lin Daiyu came to Jia Huan's residence, Ping'er was quite surprised when she saw her. After the former explained her intentions, she quickly took out the bound "Palace of Eternal Life" manuscript and handed it to Lin Daiyu, and said: "Miss Lin, let me say something more, this is written by the third master after a busy month. You must keep it safe and don't write on it."

Lin Daiyu chuckled and said: "As expected, like a master, there must be a servant, that's why he told me to come. Do you two have a good understanding?"

Ping'er couldn't help but blushed and said: "Miss Lin's mouth is really unforgiving."

Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "My good sister, don't be angry, it's just a joke, I'm leaving, by the way, this is the sachet I promised to make for Brother Huan last time, you can pass it to him for me."

Lin Daiyu took out an exquisitely crafted sachet, with light red silk thread as the base, embroidered with two emerald green lotus leaves, and decorated with wheat yellow silk ribbons, it was really beautiful.

Ping'er took it and looked it over carefully, and praised: "It turns out that Miss Lin's female celebrity is also doing so well, teach me someday, and I will worship you as my teacher."

Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "I'll just be more familiar with this. If I do anything else, it will be unsightly. Don't imitate me. I'm leaving!"

After Lin Daiyu finished speaking, she took the manuscript and hurried away, unable to wait for the slaughter.

As the saying goes, it takes three hours to write a book and three minutes to read a book. Lin Daiyu finished reading all fifty of the "Palace of Eternal Life" in just one day.

"Girl, it's just past the second watch, it's time to go to bed." Zijuan reminded.

Only then did Lin Daiyu realize that it was almost midnight, so she yawned, washed up and climbed into bed, but just as she lay down, the question Jia Huan asked during the day suddenly popped up in her mind: Why do flowers only fall to the ground and not to the sky?Are people transformed from monkeys?

Lin Daiyu was both angry and funny, she spat secretly, she didn't know how Huan'er's little head grew, and why there were so many strange questions, thanks to him he could figure it out!
Little do they know that children and adolescents are the most curious stage, and their desire for knowledge is also the strongest during this period. As they grow older, the curiosity of adults will continue to weaken, and the same is true for their desire for knowledge.

Lin Daiyu is only nine years old this year, and now she is only a third-grade elementary school student. It is the stage when her curiosity and desire for knowledge are strong. The reason why Jia Huan asked her these "weird" questions is to guide her to spend more time on seeking knowledge, instead of being sentimental and hurting the spring and autumn.Be lively and cheerful, don't cry all the time, this is undoubtedly very good for Lin Daiyu's illness.

…………

On the fifth day of February in the fourth year of Qiansheng in the Great Jin Dynasty, the weather was sunny and gentle, and the Jia Mansion also welcomed two distinguished guests, that is, Beijing Jingwang and his wife.

The main entrance of Rongguo Mansion, which was not opened several times all the year round, is now wide open. Jia Zheng personally welcomes Prince Beijing Shui Rong in, and sits down in Rongxi Hall for a conversation.

It is said that the "Four Kings and Eight Dukes" who founded the Jin Dynasty belonged to the old Wuxun Group, and their relationship with each other is still very close, especially the King of Beijing, who has a family friendship with the Jia Mansion.

In Rongxi Hall at this moment, I saw Wang Shuirong of Beijing and brothers Jia Zheng were divided into guests and hosts. Of course, Jia Zheng didn't dare to take the host seat, but just sat opposite the King of Beijing, very respectful.

Jia Amnesty sat under the King of Beijing Jing, sluggish, with an appearance of excessive indulgence. In terms of appearance and demeanor, he was far worse than Jia Zheng. It is no wonder that Jia's mother loves his second son Jia Zheng even more.

At this moment, King Beijing smiled and said: "Xiao Wang wants to congratulate Shi Weng, so brother-in-law (Wang Ziteng) is afraid that he will be promoted this time."

Jia Zheng said happily, "Do you have a letter?"

King Beijing nodded and said: "It's almost ten, the court meeting and the cabinet have passed, and my brother-in-law will be promoted to the nine-side general system, and the emperor will issue a decree."

Jia Zheng is only a member of the Ministry of Industry of the fifth rank, Wailang, and is not qualified to participate in the court meeting. The news is naturally not as good as that of Beijing Wang. Hearing the news, he knows that his brother-in-law's promotion to the Nine-Border General System is a certainty, because the court meeting and the cabinet have passed, and the emperor cannot object unless the Supreme Emperor has objections.

Therefore, the matter of Wang Ziteng's promotion to the head of the Nine Frontiers has been settled, and even the emperor dare not disobey the emperor's will.

Jia Amnesty glanced at Jia Zheng, who was mixed with joy and sorrow, but he was filled with jealousy. Wang Ziteng's official position became bigger and bigger, and Mrs. Wang had his backing, so her position was naturally even more unshakable.

At this time, I saw Jia Zheng stroke his beard, and said with a little worry: "As the saying goes, fortune depends on misfortune, and misfortune rests on blessing. It may not be a good thing for my brother-in-law to be promoted to the nine-sided general system."

King Beijing nodded and said in a low voice, "That's true. Now the frontiers of our Great Jin Dynasty are not as stable as they were when the Emperor Taihuang was in power. Since he ascended the throne, he has prioritized culture over military affairs. The treatment of border guards has declined, and their military equipment has been slack. It is said that the remnants of the Tatars in the north have shown signs of resurgence, and they have invaded the borders from time to time. And the establishment of slaves in the northeast is also growing day by day. He is a strong enemy of the Jin Dynasty, so if my brother-in-law is promoted to the Nine Frontier Commander at this time, I am afraid that there is a high possibility of fighting against this person during his term of office, so we have to be cautious!"

Jia Zheng took a deep breath and said, "Your subordinate also heard that Nurhachi is not an easy man. My brother-in-law has met a strong enemy this time."

The king of Beijing comforted him, "You don't have to worry too much, I have established the Jin Dynasty for more than [-] years, and now the country is at its peak, with a strong army and millions of soldiers, and a small slave is not enough to cause trouble."

Jia Amnesty is in a better mood at this moment, and he only hopes that Wang Ziteng will be unlucky soon so that Mrs. Wang will lose her backing. But if Wang Ziteng falls, how will the Jia family, which is inextricably linked with the Wang family, be better?
Therefore, the situation of Jia She is just like that, he is really a short-sighted person, otherwise, a man who inherits a lord will not think about how to make meritorious deeds, but will only focus on the power in the back house all day long.

King Bei Jing and Jia Zheng chatted about court affairs for a while, and then asked with a smile: "By the way, Xiao Wang has long heard that there is a brother who was born with a jade title under Shiweng's knees. He is beautiful and beautiful. He is a dragon and phoenix that is rare in the world. Xiao Wang has been in love with him for a long time. Why don't you call me now?"

Jia Zheng hurriedly said: "The dog is stupid, but it is really a stubborn rock. I'm afraid the prince will be disappointed if I see it. It's better not to see it."

King Beijing smiled and said: "The old man is too modest. Your son is good at calligraphy and painting, and his poetry is not hindered. He can be called a child prodigy, so how can he be a stubborn stone? Call and see!"

Jia Zheng couldn't help being stunned for a moment, wondering to himself that Baoyu's poems do exist, but calligraphy and painting is something he never dares to be. I don't know where the king of Beijing got such an evaluation.

　It's another new week, please ask for tickets, please collect, and please follow up.
