Jia Yujing of Red Mansion

Chapter 169 Baoyu, are you possessed by evil spirits?

At this time, Jia Zheng was reciting poems with his Qing guests, when he suddenly saw Jia Qiong coming in with Jia Baoyu.

They were stunned for a moment because there was a very eye-catching slap mark on Jia Baoyu's chubby face.

Jia Qiong bowed her hands to Jia Zheng and said, "My nephew, I would like to send my regards to my second uncle."

Jia Zheng came back to his senses, pointed at Jia Baoyu and said, "Yu Jing, has this evil obstacle caused trouble again?"

If it had been in the past, Jia Baoyu would have been scared to death.

But after Jia Qiong's brainwashing, he now sees Jia Zheng as a useless person who eats all day long and has nothing to do, and he is no longer as afraid of him as before.

Jia Qiong smiled and said: "Second uncle wrongly blamed Baoyu, and now he is determined to change his ways and work hard to make progress.

This slap mark is proof that he has changed his past and inspired himself. "

Jia Baoyu blinked and thought to himself, Brother Qiong, this slap was not given by you. Did I remember it wrong?
Jia Zheng looked at Jia Baoyu in surprise and asked doubtfully, "Is this really true?"

Jia Baoyu nodded and said, "Yes, father.

I decided to change my past. Wansong Academy is the best academy in the world and the place where Brother Qiong studied.

I have decided that I will follow in the footsteps of Brother Qiong and I will go south to study next year. "

Jia Zheng was stunned when he heard this. He didn't know how to respond for a moment. He stared blankly at this son who was deeply unfamiliar to him.

Jia Zheng didn't know how to react for a moment, but his group of purifiers had already begun to cheer him up.

"Oh, congratulations to Mr. Bao, Mr. Bao has such great ambitions and will become a pillar in the future."

"With Second Master Bao's talent, if he studies hard for two years, it will be easy to get a title on the gold list."

……

Jia Qiong waved his hand to interrupt the rainbow farts of the group of purifiers, and said: "Everyone, my second uncle and I have important matters to discuss, so please stay away for now."

"In that case, I'll take my leave first."

After these people left, Jia Qiong said to Jia Zheng: "A filial son does not flatter his relatives, and a loyal minister does not flatter his emperor. This is the prosperity of ministers.

Second uncle, although Baoyu is determined to work hard, if he is surrounded by sycophants all day long, he may not be able to achieve anything. "

Jia Qiong was simply pointing at the monk and scolding the bald donkey. If he hadn't known Jia Zheng's character, he wouldn't have been so direct.

Sure enough, Jia Zheng did not get angry, but said with shame: "What Yu Jing said is that I will fire them all tomorrow."

Jia Qiong smiled and said: "That's not necessary, the second uncle is mature and prudent, so he will not be fooled by flattery.

It's just that Baoyu is still young and mentally immature, so it's better to have less contact with these people. "

When Jia Zheng heard this, his embarrassment disappeared, and he praised him repeatedly, saying: "Yu Jing's golden words and good advice are really incomparable to others."

Jia Baoyu looked at this scene with an expression that seemed to comprehend.

Jia Qiong's words reminded Jia Zheng to stay away from villains and gave him a way to step down without being too embarrassed. It was really clever.

These things that I never thought about before seem to have become interesting now.

Jia Qiong asked Jia Zheng, "Second uncle, what do you think of Baoyu's decision to go south to study?"

Jia Zheng pondered for a moment and said: "Baoyu wants to go to the south to study. That's good. I definitely support it.

But the old lady and her mother may be reluctant to part with it. If they don't agree, this matter will be difficult to handle. "

Jia Qiong nodded and asked Baoyu: "If our ancestors and your mother don't agree, what will you do?"

Baoyu said hesitantly: "Brother Qiong, I will beg my ancestors and they will agree." Jia Qiong shook her head and said: "Baoyu, I am determined to study and advance in order to revitalize the Jia family.

This is the right thing to do, why use Qing?
If your ancestors and your mother don't agree, it's just because they are worried about you and afraid that you will act impulsively.

If your heart is like a rock and you don't change your mind, no one can stop you.

Baoyu, my second uncle and I will go with you to see our ancestors, but you have to express your feelings yourself, can you do it? "

Jia Qiong nodded heavily and said, "Don't worry, Brother Qiong, I can do it!"

Tears already overflowed from the corners of Jia Zheng's eyes. He was incompetent and wasted most of his life.

Seeing the Jia family declining day by day but unable to do anything, they can only place their hopes on the next generation.

Therefore, he urged his eldest son Jia Zhu to study very strictly. As a result, Jia Zhu suffered a bad health and died young.

He put his hope in the smart Jia Baoyu, but as Jia Zhu learned from his past experience, the old lady and Mrs. Wang doted on Baoyu too much, making it difficult to discipline him.

Seeing that Baoyu was becoming more and more ineffective, hanging around in the back house all day without making any progress, he had almost given up hope.

He never expected that he would see Baoyu work hard and make progress one day, all thanks to Jia Qiong.

He took Jia Qiong's hand and said, "Yu Jing, it's all thanks to you that Baoyu can change his ways."

Jia Qiong smiled and said: "Second uncle, you don't have to be like this. Baoyu and I are brothers, so I naturally have the responsibility of admonishing him.

Come on, let's go to the old lady's place. "

Jia Mu's room was now filled with pearls and greenery. Wang Yuyan and a group of sisters-in-law were begging Jia Mu to let them go to Qingyun Temple to escape the summer heat. From time to time, bursts of joy and laughter could be heard in the room.

When the maids waiting in the corridor saw Jia Zheng and the others coming in, they all hurriedly greeted him and their eyes involuntarily swept over Jia Baoyu's fat face.

Jia Baoyu lowered his head slightly in embarrassment, but heard Jia Qiong say: "Baoyu, raise your head.

The palm prints on your face are proof of your growth and a wound of honor. Why should you be ashamed? "

When Baoyu heard the words, he straightened up immediately, raised his head, and felt his blood boiling all over.

Everyone in the room was a little surprised when they heard the maid's report, thinking that Jia Qiong had just left Baoyu to check her homework, so why did she follow him so quickly?

And Jia Zheng also came with him. Could it be that Baoyu's homework was too bad and Jia Qiong complained to Jia Zheng?
While everyone was curious, Jia Qiong and three others walked in one after another. Jia Zheng said first: "Meet my mother."

But at this time, Jia's mother had already seen the injuries on Jia Baoyu's face. She sat up in shock and said repeatedly: "Baoyu, what's wrong with your face? Who hit you!"

Mrs. Wang was even more anxious and stepped forward to check his injuries.

"Ancestor, mother, don't panic, I did it myself."

Everyone was shocked after hearing his words, but seeing Jia Baoyu's head held high, it didn't seem like he was telling lies.

Mother Jia said anxiously: "You kid, why are you beating yourself so hard? Come here and let me take a closer look."

Jia Baoyu pointed to his face proudly and said: "Ancestor, I'm fine.

This is proof that I am determined to change my ways and work hard. This is an honor.

Ancestor, I have decided that from now on I will study hard.

I plan to go to Wansong Academy to study, strive for an early title on the gold medal list, and honor my ancestors! "

Jia Baoyu's high-spirited words did not arouse any response. Instead, Jia's mother asked worriedly: "Baoyu, are you possessed?"
