Spoilers for The Red Mansion, Daiyu’s mentality is broken

Chapter 21 Reading Seeds
After thinking about it for a while, Jia Huan remembered that this was the content above the third section of Gongsun Chou's chapter in "Mencius".

His memory was divided into pictures and shapes, and he soon found the content of this chapter.

Jia Huan said: "Mencius said: It's all true. When I'm in the Song Dynasty, I will have a long journey. Travelers must give me money, and I say: 'Feed money.' Why should I not accept it? When I am in Xue County, I will have it." Be wary. The words said: "Hear the warning." So why should I not accept it if it is given to the soldiers? If it is in uniform, there is no place for it. Feeding it from nowhere is just a commodity. How can a gentleman take it? Huh?"

After hearing Jia Huan recite it very skillfully and accurately, Jia Zheng showed a look of satisfaction on his face.

After asking Jia Huan a few more chapters of Mencius, Jia Zheng asked about the Doctrine of the Mean.

"Zi Lu asked Qiang."

Jia Huan quickly replied: "Confucius said: Is the south stronger? Is the north stronger? Is it more restrained and stronger? Teach with lenience and gentleness, and don't repay the unjust. The strong in the south is where the gentleman lives. Don't be tired of it, the north is strong, and the strong live there. Therefore, if a gentleman is harmonious but not sloppy, it is strong and correct! If he is neutral but not dependent, he is strong and correct! If the country has a way, it will not be blocked, so it is strong and correct! If the country has no way, It will not change until death, so strong!"

Jia Zheng became more and more satisfied, and then asked about the university and the Analects of Confucius. Jia Huan blurted out all of them without making any mistakes.

Jia Zheng became more and more satisfied with this.

He couldn't help but said to Jia Huan: "Huan'er, your recitation of the Four Books is pretty good, but you have to guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and memorize all the Five Classics as soon as possible. Then you can study some topic-breaking compositions. In two years, you can give it a try. ”

"You do have some talent for studying. But talent is not enough. You also need to work hard to study. From now on, you should study with peace of mind and don't do any messy things."

Jia Huan nodded and said: "What my father taught me was true, and the child has memorized it. Please rest assured, father, that the child will no longer write poems in the future, and will only focus on studying hard."

Hearing these words, Jia Zheng couldn't help but be stunned.

What?
Will you stop writing poetry in the future?How can this be done?

When I say don’t do messy things, I don’t include writing poetry!

Thinking of this, Jia Zheng hurriedly said: "Huan'er, poetry can cultivate sentiments, not to mention that even during the imperial examination, you have to write examination poems. So it's not a bad idea to do it occasionally."

"But next time you write a good poem, don't forget to show it to me as soon as possible."

Jia Huan nodded and said, "Yes, father, I have remembered it."

Jia Zheng nodded and said: "Father, I have a set of good pens, inks, paper and inkstones here for you to use. If you want to read any books in the future, just come to my study to find them. If you are missing any books, just tell me and I will know them. Arranged for you."

Jia Huan said: "Thank you very much, father."

Jia Zheng waved his hand and said, "Okay, take your pen, ink, paper and inkstone and go back to study."

"Yes, father."

The set of pens, inks, paper and inkstones given by Jia Zheng are all of high quality.

In terms of reading, Jia Zheng still strongly supports it, which is a good thing for Jia Huan.

At this time, Jia Huan also knew the purpose of Jia Zheng calling him.

I'm afraid that the few poems I wrote have already spread and others ask about Jia Zheng. Jia Zheng doesn't know yet, so he will naturally have emotions in his heart.

How could the poetry show that was only held the day before yesterday spread so quickly?
……

After Jia Huan left, Jia Zheng's Qingke praised Jia Huan highly.

Everyone said that Brother Huan had already made a name for himself, and in two years' time he would definitely be able to win the title of Toad Palace.Shan Pinren asked again: "Dong Weng is so happy today, but what happy event is there? Tell us and let us have fun together."

This question immediately scratched Jia Zheng's itch.

Jia Zheng immediately wrote out the three poems written by Jia Huan on the spot, which immediately aroused praise from his guests.

They tried their best to flatter Jia Huan and praised him as a genius who could punch Li Taibai and kick Du Gongbu.

He also praised Jia for his rigorous political science and his ability to teach his children, and he said a lot of good things.

Under a burst of praise, Jia Zheng could not help but be as majestic as Feng Xu flying against the wind without knowing where it stopped; fluttering as if he was left alone in the world and became an immortal.

After finally calming down a little, Jia Zheng suddenly thought that such good news must be told to the old lady.

And I must also tell my wife that Huan'er's supply must not be short-changed in the future, and Huan'er's reading seed must not be distracted by foreign affairs.

Thinking of this, Jia Zheng quickly stood up and walked to Jia's mother in Rongqing Hall in front.

Not long after, Jia Zheng came to Rongqing Hall.

Xiao Jiao'er, who was named the general of curtain rolling by Jia Mu, rolled up the door curtain from afar and shouted loudly: "The master is here."

Jia Zheng walked into Rongqing Hall with a smile on his face, and saw Jia Baoyu hiding in Jia Mu's arms like a cat and mouse, shivering.

Jia Mu comforted her in every possible way.

Jia Zheng suddenly became unhappy and snorted coldly: "You evil beast, you are such a grown-up, you don't know how to read, you don't even know about filial piety? You are not young anymore, what are you doing in the old lady's arms? Why don't you do it yourself?" Sit down?"

Jia Baoyu was so frightened that he quickly sat aside.

Mother Jia quickly changed the subject and asked, "Zheng'er, why are you here now? Is there something wrong outside?"

Jia Zheng said with a smile: "Mother, it's a good thing. Brother Huan has made great progress in studying now. The three poems he wrote have been spread throughout the imperial capital. He is even nicknamed " Where is Jia Sanshou?"

"Today I specially called Brother Huan to come to my study. I took the exam myself. Brother Huan actually recited all the Four Books and is now reciting the Five Classics. If he keeps working like this, I'm afraid it won't take more than two years. Let’s give it a try.”

Hearing these words, Mother Jia had a look of disbelief on her face and couldn't help but ask: "Who are you talking about? The poem written by Brother Huan? Not written by Baoyu?"

Baoyu smiled and said: "Old ancestor, it was really written by Brother Huan! Two of the poems were written by Brother Huan when we started the poetry club the day before yesterday."

"The three poems he wrote are really excellent. Even if I look at them in the entire Daxia, they are still among the best."

Hearing this, Jia Mu was happy and disappointed at the same time.

The happy thing is that a useful kid finally comes out of the family, but the sad thing is that this person is not Baoyu.

Mother Jia couldn't help but said: "I saw Huan'er being so anxious and angry in the past, but I didn't expect that he would have such a future now. He can make my Jia family famous, which shows that he is a good person."

Jia Zheng said with a smile: "What my mother said is that in my son's opinion, Huan'er is a good scholar. It is absolutely necessary to support him from now on, so as not to distract him from trivial matters."

Mother Jia nodded and said, "What you said, Zheng'er, is right. If the family has the seeds of learning, we must do our best to cultivate them. Just leave this matter to my wife. Brother Huan will definitely be indispensable."
