The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 168

Today, Jia Min dealt with Baoyu's affairs in front of Baochai and Qin Keqing. Apart from letting them go back to the mansion to explain, he also had a secret purpose: to let them fully recognize Baoyu's true face—this person is An irresponsible piece of trash.Don't expect him to be successful in the future.

When Jia Min watched Dream of the Red Chamber in his previous life, he also thought that Baoyu was a rebel of feudal ethics and a maverick like some people did.

Only now did he realize that this was purely a false proposition.

Baoyu can be regarded as a maverick, but it is a big mistake to say that he is a rebel of feudal ethics.

His rebelliousness was actually superficial.In his bones, the concepts of patriarchal clan, lineage, hierarchy, and concubines are all deeply rooted.These things are the core of feudal ethics.Therefore, Baoyu is not a rebel in essence, but a defender.

In his view, he himself is always right, and others are always wrong.It is right for others to treat him well, but he does not have to make any corresponding returns to others.

Without letting Xue Pan and others leave, Baochai and Qin Keqing accepted it calmly.However, Jia Min said that he would punish them in front of them, which still made Baochai feel a little embarrassed.

Qin Keqing can think about it.It's not because she can think about it rationally, but because she now thinks that whatever Jia Min does is reasonable.

This is the mentality of Aiwujiwu.

That's it, so Baochai and Qin Keqing bid farewell to Jia Min and left.

Baochai left the house first, and Qin Keqing was last.Before going out, he whispered to Jia Min that she was going to Mantou Temple the day after tomorrow.Because Miaoyu is now in Mantouan, she is going to see Miaoyu.

Jia Min naturally understood what Qin Keqing meant, which was to tell him to go to the Mantou Temple, where she would wait for him the day after tomorrow.

Jia Min was thinking of looking for Qin Keqing, but he was worried that there was no suitable opportunity.Unexpectedly, Qin Keqing asked him out first, so she was naturally very happy.

Fearing that Baochai would find out something unusual, the two of them didn't dare to say anything, they just smiled at each other, keeping everything in silence.

When Baoyu left, no one came out to see him off.Shou'er asked Baoyu whether he should change his clothes before leaving. Baoyu said, "If I don't change, I will go back in this dress, so that everyone in the house can see how the fourth brother Min abused me."

Jia Min listened and just smiled slightly.But Baochai and Qin Keqing sighed inwardly when they heard this.

As soon as Baochai and his carriage left, Jia Huan took Jia Ping and ran towards the horizontal bar.It turned out that after hearing that Jia Min was going to punish them, he discussed it with Jia Ping.Go out first and strap yourself to the horizontal bar.

When Xue Pan and Jia Rong reacted, there were only two cages left, so they had to get in by themselves.When Lin Dajiang arrived, the two chain heads were locked by themselves.

Xue Pan and Jia Rong stayed in the cage, looking at Jia Huan tied to the horizontal bar, feeling angry.

Tied to the horizontal bar, even though he couldn't move, he was still standing, which was much more comfortable than being in a cage.

Baoyu bewitched them to go home, and he himself had gone back now, but he implicated them in cages and suffered.

When they arrived here, they were picked up by Jia Min at every turn, living a life that would be worse than death.

The more they talked, the more angry they became, and the more they talked, the more they felt that the three brothers Baoyu, Jia Min and Jia Huan were nothing.Although they were not born by the same mother, the bad water was born in the same strain.When they saw no one was around, the two scolded the three brothers thousands of times.

After Baoyu returned to the mansion, he loved Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang very much.In front of the crowd, Jia's mother scolded Jia Min like a dog.Let go of your rhetoric and say that tomorrow you will call someone to bring Jia Min back, and the family law will take care of him.

Baoyu became more and more complacent, and when he saw someone, he was like a person showing off, saying how smart he was, successfully evading the clutches of Min Lao Si, and escaped from the hell on earth in Yeduju.

As for Jia Min's practice of walking and folding quilts, he also made fun of it everywhere.

In the evening, he went to the girls' rooms one by one and publicized his intelligence and wisdom, which made Baoyu very unhappy when he heard the girls startled.

Just when people were waiting for the old lady to send someone to call Jia Min back to enforce the family law.The next day, the old lady didn't move much.No mention of sending someone to call Jia Min back.

Wang Xifeng asked Yuanyang twice if the old lady sent someone to hand over Jia Min and came back, but she was disappointed in the end.

Only then did she realize that the old lady was just talking.He really asked Jia Min to come back. If the old man Min dropped his rake and quit, there would be no one to do the military training.

Baoyu stayed in Yeduju for several days, and was already very depressed.Qin Zhong ignored him there, so he went out, trying to hook up with Liu Xianglian.I didn't find Liu Xianglian, but I ran into Niu Jizong.

Niu Jizong just wanted to know how Jia Min trained soldiers, and when he saw Baoyu came back, he wanted to invite Baoyu to drink.

Baoyu was worried that no one would play with him, and felt that Niu Jizong and the others were tricked by the fourth brother Min in the bus business.

When the two arrived at Yuhua Tower, Liu Fang, Chen Ruiwen, and Ma Shangde were already waiting there.After a while, Luo Hanlin also came.

So I started drinking.While drinking, we talked about military training.Naturally, Baoyu didn't hide anything, so he told what he had seen and heard in the past few days while living in Yedu.

For Jia Min's practice of walking and folding quilts, he naturally focused on it, shouting, ridiculing and lashing out.

Even Jia Min didn't hide the fact that Jia Min wanted to be the No.Of course, Baoyu didn't forget to add: He couldn't pass the exam.

As for his being punished to be locked in a cage and fighting with Xue Pan over food, he still knew it was embarrassing, so naturally he didn't say anything about it.

Li Gui was left in the barracks by Jia Min, only put Mingyan back, and continued to follow Baoyu.Seeing Baoyu talking nonsense, and talking badly about Jia Min to outsiders like Niu Jizong, Mingyan felt that Baoyu had gone too far.

But after all, he is just a servant, and it is hard to say anything.

Baoyu soon drank almost, so he was going home.Niu Jizong was afraid that he would not be able to ride a horse, so he hired a carriage specially, told Mingyan to take good care of it, and made an appointment with Baoyu to see you later, and Baoyu left.

After Baoyu left, Niu Jizong and others continued to drink.

"I originally thought that Jia Laosi would be good at training soldiers, but I didn't expect that I thought highly of him."

Liu Fang suffered a loss from Jia Min, and now she finally feels a little balanced in her heart.

"This Jia Laosi does have some talent for doing business, and he didn't say anything about his poetry. However, human talents are limited after all. Now when it comes to military training, he is an amateur. It can be seen that God is fair."

Niu Jizong was still a little apprehensive about Jia Min leading the army, but now he felt relieved when he heard what Baoyu said.

He has a military position, so he is naturally familiar with military training.Hearing that Jia Min was practicing walking and making quilts, he knew that Jia Min didn't know how to train soldiers at all.

"Little brothers, it seems that Jia Min has nothing to worry about training soldiers. It's just that he wants to take the martial arts championship, you should pay attention to it."

Because Jia Min and Fang Xiucai are promoting Chinese Pinyin, Luo Hanlin has now listed Jia Min as a serious problem.

It was just because Jia Min was from the Rongguo Mansion, and recently the Rongguo Mansion managed to do a bus job, which made him famous for a while, so it was not easy to take too obvious measures.

If Jia Min wins the No. [-] Martial Arts Scholar again, it will be even more difficult to deal with.

"What does Luo Hanlin mean...?"

Liu Fang caught Luo Hanlin's train of thought, but he didn't want to say it directly.

"Although Jia Min is an amateur in military training, he does have the means of combining vertical and horizontal forces. Now, he has brought together the Jia family, the Shi family, the Feng family, the Chen family and the Wei family. , It reached 1300 people all of a sudden, this is a force not to be underestimated."

It has to be said that Luo Hanlin still has some vision.

"Military training, after all, has to come down to money, and Jia Min is the one who can make the most money. Even if he doesn't understand military training himself, if he has money, he may not be able to hire some people who understand. This is one of his strengths. "

"If he wins the champion of martial arts in the future and has fame, then it will not be difficult for him to ascend to the top, and if he has money and capable people from all over the world, he will gather under his command. When that time comes, don't Say you want to overwhelm him, even if you are acting as a foil for him, I am afraid it will depend on his face."

"The four families of King Jia, Xue and Shi have always been in the same spirit. Now that historians have joined Jia Min, if Jia Min becomes popular in the future, it is not impossible for the Wang family to unite with him. You are also aware of the power of the Wang family. , when the time comes, when they join together, the four of you will be far from rivals."

"There are quite a lot of martial arts champions. Even if they are admitted, it may not be smooth sailing in the future. There are also many martial arts champions who have no ambitions."

"However, it depends on who the champion of martial arts is. If it is Jia Min, this champion of martial arts is worth a lot of money. He can make money himself, his poems are good, and he has the title of champion of martial arts. Behind him are Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion. With uncle Wang Ziteng and sister Jia Yuanchun in the palace, the road to promotion in the future will be unstoppable. At that time, you will only be hopeless."

"Why let him do all the good things? No, we have to find a way to prevent Jia Min from succeeding."

Luo Hanlin analyzed one by one, and everyone understood what he meant.It's just that others are more mature, good at hiding their inner thoughts, and didn't say it directly.

Only Ma Shangde has a straightforward temper, and he speaks out what is on his mind.

"After all, it is Luo Hanlin who is far-sighted and his eyes are as bright as a torch. If Jia Laosi wins the first prize in martial arts, it will indeed be disadvantageous to us, but we have never passed the martial arts exam, so I don't know how to start. I also ask Luo Hanlin to give me some pointers."

Seeing that the time was ripe, Liu Fang showed her attitude.

"What can I tell you? I have only taken the Wenju exam, and I don't understand martial arts. I heard that many of the people who participated in the martial arts are from the martial arts. These people are the most competitive. Fight bravely, sometimes, if you have no eyes, something may happen. Come, drink, drink, I have nothing to do."

"Thank you Luo Hanlin, come, let's toast Luo Hanlin!"
