My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 156 Clear and stupid eyes
"What did you see?" Baoyu still had a question mark on his face.

Yuan Chun sighed softly, with a trace of sadness on her pretty face. She turned to Mrs. Wang and said, "Mother...it seems that Baoyu's temperament is indeed not suitable for being an official. In this life, he should just be a wealthy idler."

Mrs. Wang's face froze. If the person speaking was not his eldest daughter, she would have gone crazy.

She looked unhappy and said, "Girl, what are you talking about?

You are Baoyu's sister. Have you ever said that about your younger brother? "

Yuanchun glanced at her helplessly, turned to Jia Mu and said, "Old ancestor...what do you mean?"

Jia Mu pondered for a moment, seemingly unwilling to do so, but then she sighed helplessly: "Baoyu mother, although what the eldest girl said is a bit unpleasant, it is generally correct.

Baoyu's temperament... is really not suitable for an official career. "

"Mother... Baoyu is still young now. He will get better in a few years."

Mrs. Wang was a little anxious. Since Jia Zhu's death, she had placed her only hope on Baoyu. She also expected him to stand out and honor his ancestors. How could she accept the results of a wealthy and idle man?

Now seeing that Jia Mu actually agreed with Yuan Chun, the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She glared at Yuan Chun and said, "You damn girl, I have raised you for so many years in vain, and I don't even help my own brother."

Mrs. Wang's words were already a bit harsh, but Yuan Chun also understood her mother's mood. Of course she knew how much her mother valued this precious brother.

She frowned her beautiful eyebrows: "My mother said so, but my daughter has nothing to say.

Since the mother doesn't like to hear it, the daughter just doesn't talk about it from now on. After all, a married daughter throws away the water. "

"you……"

Mrs. Wang couldn't help but feel angry. She pointed at Yuanchun and looked at Jia Mu with red eyes: "Old lady... look... this girl has only been married for a few days, and she actually started talking back to me."

Mother Jia ignored Mrs. Wang's cry, but turned to look at Baoyu, and said seriously: "Baoyu... Grandma asks you, do you know why your aunt just named her specifically to ask your sister to come and celebrate her birthday?" ?”

Baoyu paused for a long time and said with some hesitation: "My grandson guesses that there is something he wants to ask of his sister, right? But as for what it is, my grandson doesn't know."

Jia Mu stared at him and continued to ask: "Then do you know why your sister insists on not going?"

Baoyu scratched his ears and cheeks for a long time, and finally said dejectedly: "My grandson doesn't know."

Mother Jia turned to look at Mrs. Wang: "Mother Baoyu, do you understand now why the eldest girl said she wanted Baoyu to be a rich and idle man?"

Mrs. Wang still said angrily: "Old lady, Baoyu is just..."

"He's just young, isn't he?" This time, Mother Jia interrupted her and said coldly before she could finish speaking.

"Old lady...you..."

Mrs. Wang looked at Jia Mu in disbelief, wondering how her attitude towards Baoyu, who had always loved Baoyu the most, had changed 180 degrees.

Jia Mu sighed: "Originally, the old woman thought so too, but after experiencing so many things these days, the old woman finally understood.

This man, sometimes he has to believe in fate.Baoyu was not born to be an official. If he were forced to push him out, it would only harm him. "

All the girls were silent when they heard this. They silently looked at Baoyu who was sitting next to Jia Mu and holding her arm, with confusion, puzzlement and innocence on her face, as if she understood what Jia Mu said.

"Pfft!"

Suddenly, a laugh suddenly sounded.

Everyone looked around and found that the person laughing was actually Qingwen standing next to Yuan Chun.

Seeing that a maid dared to laugh in such a situation, Mrs. Wang was immediately furious.

She was so angry that she raised her eyebrows. She slapped the table and shouted angrily: "You're such a charming maid, you don't even look at where this place is. You actually dare to make fun of the old lady without permission. What crime do you deserve?
Someone... drag this maid who has no regard for dignity out of the house and open her mouth for twenty! "

"Here!"

Two women stood up on the spot, rolled up their sleeves and walked towards Qingwen.

Seeing Mrs. Wang getting angry, Daiyu, Baochai and other girls were so frightened that they turned pale. They didn't expect that Mrs. Wang, who usually had a kind-hearted face, would be so cruel.

In the eyes of people of this era, Qingwen's appearance is that of a standard vixen, especially her water snake waist that looks like it will break if the wind blows.

If he was really slapped twenty times, I'm afraid not all the teeth in his mouth would be knocked out.

But something that everyone didn't expect happened. Seeing the two women walking towards her, Qingwen was so frightened that her face turned pale at first, and then she stood up straight again, put her hands on her hips and angrily yelled at the two women:
"Blinded your dog eyes, don't forget that I am not from your Rongguo Mansion now.

What qualifications do you have to teach me a lesson? "

Qingwen's scolding didn't matter, everyone was stunned.

Only then did everyone remember that what Qingwen said seemed to be reasonable.

As the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat a dog.

Qingwen's body contract has long been in Jia Yu's hands, and now she is Jia Yu's personal maid. Rongguo Mansion seems to be really not qualified to teach her a lesson.

After being surprised, everyone couldn't help but be stunned.

This vixen-like girl really has a bad temper. Even Mrs. Wang dared to contradict her.

Mrs. Wang was so angry that she turned green after being contradicted.

The hand holding the handkerchief was so tight that it almost tore into pieces.

She turned to look at Yuanchun, and her expression became a little ferocious: "Girl, this is the person who was trained by your general Zhaoyong's mansion.

As the mistress of General Zhaoyong's Mansion, is this how you discipline your servants? "

Looking at the woman who was trembling with anger, Yuanchun also felt a headache.

She glared at Qingwen and scolded angrily: "Look at the good things you have done, you actually dare to contradict my wife!"

Even though Qingwen was not afraid of Mrs. Wang, Qingwen was still a little afraid of Yuanchun, the mistress of General Zhaoyong's Mansion.

He lowered his head and said in a low voice: "I just saw the appearance of Second Master Bao and thought of what Uncle Yu said, so I couldn't help but laugh out loud. Please forgive me, Madam."

Yuanchun glared at her, gritting his silver teeth: "What are you talking about?"

"Uncle Yu said...Uncle Yu once accidentally said that Mr. Bao would often have a clear and stupid look in his eyes.

When this slave saw Master Bao, she couldn't help but think of what Uncle Yu said, so she laughed out loud. This slave is really not..."

"Hahaha..." Before Qingwen could finish her words, the entire Rongqing Hall was silent for a moment, and then slight chirping laughter began to ring out in the lobby.

It seemed that a few people turned their backs, lowered their heads, and shrugged their shoulders, but soon the sound became louder and louder, and finally turned into a roar of laughter.

No one present expected that the final culprit would be Jia Yu.

At first, the only ones laughing were Shi Xiangyun, Xichun, Tanchun, Daiyu, Baochai and other young girls.

Later, the older women such as Wang Xifeng, Li Wan, and Mrs. Xing thought about it more and more, and they felt that Qingwen's words made sense.

Baoyu's personality, at best, is innocent, straightforward, and somewhat ignorant of the world, but at worst, isn't it clear and stupid?

The more I think about it, the more I feel that Jia Yu’s description is so accurate. Isn’t Baoyu just such a person?
And laughter is contagious. For a moment, everyone except Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang couldn't help but laugh.

Even Yuanchun couldn't help laughing, but she also complained about Jia Yu in her heart. Her husband was too bad. How could she describe her brother-in-law like this.

She glared at Qingwen fiercely, sighed softly, and said to Mrs. Wang, who was still pale with anger: "Mom, Qingwen just made an unintentional mistake.

In my daughter's opinion, you have a lot, so don't argue with her.

After all, Qingwen is her husband's personal maid, and she is extremely efficient in serving him on weekdays.

Moreover, the husband also said that when he returns from this expedition, he will take this girl in. If she is really punished, it will be difficult for the daughter to explain when the husband comes back and finds out about it and questions her daughter. "

Seeing that even her own daughter was persuading her not to make a big move, although Mrs. Wang was unwilling to do so, she also understood that without her daughter's nod, she might not be able to touch this foxy child.

Just when he was about to get angry, Baoyu unexpectedly grabbed his arm: "Mother...it's rare for eldest sister to come over, so please don't argue with her."

"You!"

When Mrs. Wang saw her son arriving at her door, she immediately found a way to vent her anger. She raised her hand and patted him on the arm.

She took advantage of the situation and started crying, "You guys are all heartless. I have given birth to three of your brothers and sisters in my life.

Pearl left me without a conscience, and the remaining daughter also started to learn to disobey me after she got married. Do you want to make me angry too? "

It didn't matter that Mrs. Wang was crying. When she mentioned the deceased Jia Zhu, Li Wan's eyes turned red and he started wiping his tears with a handkerchief.

For a moment, the atmosphere in Rongqing Hall became sad.

Jia Mu dislikes this kind of atmosphere the most, and she is the eldest daughter of the historian family.

She may not be clear about important matters in the court, but she is very knowledgeable about things like house fights. How come Mrs. Wang doesn't know what Xiao Jiujiu has in mind.

She frowned when she heard this and said unceremoniously: "Mother Baoyu, it's right for the eldest girl from your mother's family not to get involved, so don't embarrass her."

Mrs. Wang wiped the corners of her eyes and cried: "Old lady, my mother's family is in trouble now. What's wrong with the girl going to help out as a niece? Could it be that after getting married, she didn't even care about the friendship between relatives?"

Mother Jia shouted: "Is that a favor? The Wang family wants Brother Yu to block the gun for him. Do you want the eldest girl to spend all the credit that Brother Yu has finally accumulated on your mother's family? ?”

Seeing his mother being scolded by his grandmother, Baoyu still looked confused and tugged on Jia Mu's sleeves.

"Ancestor, what are you and your mother talking about? Why can't I understand you at all?"

Mother Jia glanced at him angrily at first, and then said with a bit of hatred: "It seems that the big girl is right, you... just stay rich and idle for the rest of your life.

Can't you tell by now that your aunt is here to invite me, an old woman, in name, but in fact she is a drunkard and is not interested in drinking. The person she really wants to invite is the eldest girl. She wants your brother-in-law to take over for their Wang family. Making a raft! "

"Making a raft...why?" Baoyu continued to ask.

"Why else?" Now that she had said it, Jia Mu no longer wanted to save face for the Wang family.

"Not to mention that your uncle left Tongguan behind a few days ago, but the [-]-strong army came back with less than [-].

For such a defeat, as the commander-in-chief of the army, he was naturally responsible.

The reason why Your Majesty did not punish him now was just because he was seriously injured and His Majesty did not want to have a reputation of being mean and unkind.

However, Wang Ziteng's defeat must be explained to the court, otherwise not only will His Majesty not be able to spare him, but neither will the civil and military officials.

Now there is only one way for Wang Ziteng to reduce his charges or even get away with it, and that is to get your brother-in-law to stand up.

After all, you saw your brother-in-law leading the army on the expedition a few days ago.

If your brother-in-law wins the battle and recaptures Tongguan, your brother-in-law's contribution will naturally reduce or even eliminate your uncle's guilt.

If your brother-in-law is defeated or even dies on the battlefield, the Emperor will not be too harsh on your brother-in-law because he died fighting to defend the country.

Now do you understand why your aunt must drag your sister to celebrate his birthday? "

Jia Mu's words can be said to have dissected the shady thoughts of Wang Ziteng and his wife and exposed them to the sun.

Not only Baoyu, but also Yingchun, Xiangyun and other girls turned pale after hearing this. They had lived in a boudoir since they were young and never thought that people's hearts would be so gloomy.

Seeing the girls who were so frightened that their faces turned pale, Jia Mu held Baoyu's hand and said earnestly to the girls: "Before, when you were young, I couldn't bear to tell you these dirty things.

But now that you are getting older, you will eventually get married.

It would be better if you married an ordinary person, there wouldn't be so much trouble, but how can a girl from our Jia family marry an ordinary person?

So if you encounter this kind of thing in the future, you must be very alert, otherwise you don’t know when you will bring death to your husband’s family and yourself! "

Seeing that Jia Mu's words were so serious, all the girls were frightened.

Yingchun was so frightened that she hid behind Tanchun, her eyes red with fear.

Xiangyun also held Daiyu's hand and couldn't help but said: "Auntie, what you said is too scary. Then I will never marry again!"

Jia Mu smiled, stretched out her hand and touched her little face: "Silly girl, how can a girl's family not get married?

Old lady, the reason why I say this is just to remind you that you should be more careful when encountering problems in the future and don't be betrayed. "

"And you." After Jia Mu finished speaking, she looked at Daiyu, Tanchun, Xichun, Baochai and other girls.

"As the old saying goes, if you have a good wife at home, nothing will happen to you. The girl can have this vision because she has experienced it in that shameful place over the years. Although you don't have that experience, you can learn from Yuan Chun. This girl is learning.

Follow her more in the future. If you encounter anything you are unsure about, you might as well ask her for advice. Do you understand? "

"Yes!" All the girls agreed in unison.
