Chapter 81 Baoyu: They are all stupid people
In the room, Jia Mu rolled her eyes. Previously she thought Baoyu had seen the prince, so she didn't let him come forward. Now all the unworthy people have shown their faces, and her beloved cannot be left behind.
Thinking of this, Jia Mu smiled and said, "Baoyu is the younger brother of the eldest girl. It would be good for the prince to give you a few words of instruction."
Upon seeing this, Baoyu moved forward, cupped his hands and saluted, "Brother-in-law."
Everyone called him brother-in-law, so he couldn't be ostracized, not to mention that this was his real brother-in-law.
Shui Rong gently chinned his head and looked at Baoyu. To be honest, in terms of appearance alone, his face was like a spring flower and his eyes were like painted paint. Coupled with his gentle words and deeds, he was definitely the type of a humble gentleman.
It's just that "people should not be judged by their appearance." Not only did precious jade revitalize the family, shine the lintel of the family, etc., even the people around them did not dare to come forward to protect them. Even in the end, the Jia family was defeated, and they still did not want to make progress, but left their family and career to become a monk. , Belonging is empty and has its appearance.
However, who knew this was his brother-in-law, so Shui Rong would not refute his feelings, so he said gently: "Baoyu, you really live up to your name, just like 'Bao' is like 'Yu'. I heard that Baoyu was born with a jade in his head, Where is the treasure in that title? Can you take a look?"
Shui Rong was not interested in Jia Baoyu, but he was quite curious about the "psychic jade". Now that he had this opportunity, he could see what the psychic jade looked like.
Baoyu heard this and quickly took it from his clothes and handed it over.
Shui Rong took it over and looked at it. It was as big as a sparrow egg, shaped like a heart lock, as bright as a bright cloud, and as smooth as a crisp. It was wrapped with five-color patterns. The five-color crystal was very dazzling.
This is a colored stone.
If you look closely, you will find seal inscriptions engraved on the front: "Spiritual gems, don't lose them, don't forget them, immortals will live long and prosperous", and there are also seal inscriptions on the back: "One removes evil spirits, two cures unjust diseases, three knows misfortunes and blessings", which means It's quite auspicious.
This colored stone is nice and fun to play with, but Shui Rong knows that this jade is the lifeblood of Baoyu, and asking for it would be like slapping the Jia family in the face.
After praising "good jade", he immediately returned the "psychic jade" to Baoyu. As for bringing it to Baoyu himself as in the original work, he had no such leisure.
But he was his brother-in-law after all, so Shui Rong still gave him a few words of instruction, so he said to Jia Mu: "Old lady, seeing that Baoyu behaves well and behaves like a dragon, colt, and phoenix, I think that the old lady, mother-in-law and others will naturally love her." That's very true, but it is not appropriate for our descendants to indulge in pampering, otherwise they will lose their studies."
Baoyu's lack of talent actually has a lot to do with the doting of Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang. Excessive doting will only make it become a giant baby, so his words are indeed words of advice.
When Jia Mu heard this, her expression was startled, and she nodded gently and said, "Your Majesty, what you said makes sense."
Shui Rong glanced at Jia Mu and agreed quickly, fearing that she might still be reluctant to part with her in the end.
However, Shui Rong didn't care. It was just a conversation anyway. Shui Rong immediately looked at Baoyu and saw his face changed slightly. He understood in his heart that Baoyu hated the so-called academics the most.
After some calculations in his mind, Shui Rong said in a clear voice: "Baoyu, the first priority in studying is to be virtuous and knowledgeable, followed by fame and fortune. You must not become a scholar with little knowledge."
According to the description in the original work, Baoyu is actually smart and talented. If he is willing to put his heart into studying, he may not be able to achieve a career. Moreover, although he is not responsible, he has a good heart and pursues an economic and official career, which is harmless to the court.
Baoyu originally felt a pang in his heart when he heard Shui Rong talk about his studies, but then he heard that Shui Rong did not advise him to pursue an economic career like others, and for a moment his brows were filled with joy, as if he had met a close friend, and he praised angrily: "Your Majesty, this There is an old saying about great kindness: "Reading to understand reason, reading history to be wise." This is the right way. What's the use of reading those books that "explain virtue"? It's not like becoming a beetle. I smell it like a stench. !”
"Baoyu."
Yuanchun, who had always been calm and composed, couldn't stand listening anymore. The prince was teaching him, but he was better off. He said some rebellious words like "lu beetle", which made him scream and scold him. Baoyu was so frightened that he became angry and angry.
Shui Rong looked sideways at Yuan Chun, who was as cold as frost, and his eyelids couldn't help but tremble. Is this the gentle and lovely girl?
Yuanchun realized her rudeness and suddenly panicked. She had high expectations for Baoyu and couldn't control herself for a moment, making the prince laugh.
"I'm in a hurry. I hope the prince won't take offense." Yuan Chun quickly tried to make up for it, but he didn't want to be disliked by the Rong didn't care when he heard this. The original book also said that Yuanchun Black Baoyu was enlightened, and he understood that the eldest sister was like a mother.
Just looking at Baoyu's trembling body, Yuanchun's majesty stood out in his heart. It seemed that he was no less generous than Jia Zheng, his father. It seemed that Yuanchun had the attitude of a tiger mother.
Seeing that Yuan Chun Yu's cheeks were pale, Shui Xiong comforted her with a warm voice: "You and I are husband and wife, I won't be surprised, you don't have to be like this."
As the saying goes, caring leads to chaos, Shui Rong will not blame him for this, and Yuanchun feels even closer to him at this time. As for "tiger", Yuanchun is just a bigger cat in front of him, and he cannot stand up to a tiger.
However, Shui Rong still hopes that Yuanchun can thrive on the other hand, which is quite exciting! Yuan Chun felt relieved when he saw that Shui Rong was not upset. Hearing Shui Rong talk about his husband and wife in front of everyone, his plump face became slightly tipsy. He lowered his eyes and said no more, thinking about teaching Baoyu afterwards. Ichiban.
Shui Rong looked at the resentful Baoyu and continued: "Baoyu, that's not what I meant. The so-called "luxury beetles" are in the person and not in the book. If you are a person with evil intentions, you are a moth in the court. If you are an upright person, Etiquette, that is, the important minister of the country. The key point is what kind of person you want to be, rather than judging people by books. This is the reason why I teach you not to be a "white-faced scholar with a crown"."
Shui Xing disagrees with Baoyu's statement that reading books about "Ming Ming De" makes one become a wealthy person. We need to know that from ancient times to the present, scholars have been reading these books, and there are indeed so-called "Lu Ming De" books among them. There are people like "worms", but there are also famous officials who have been passed down through the ages. In the final analysis, the most important thing is to look at people's character and not be misled by books.
But Baoyu's idea was too extreme.
After the words fell, several pairs of apricot eyes fell on Shui Rong, obviously understanding the meaning.
Baoyu was dissatisfied when he heard this. In his opinion, how could it be better to study dead science?But after all, it was the prince's teachings, and Baoyu couldn't say much, so he accepted it.
Seeing this, Shui Rong didn't say much. Anyway, as his brother-in-law, he had already done his duty to teach, and it didn't matter whether he succeeded or not. For Baoyu, his brother-in-law, Shui Rong didn't have high requirements. He just wanted to be a hedonistic person with three views, and it was enough to be sensible and wise. That’s it.
Although Baoyu does not take on any responsibility in the original work, he still plays his role honestly. He is many times better than the other young masters of the Jia family. Just keep it up.
Yuanchun was very upset when he saw that Baoyu didn't pay attention to the prince's teachings. This Baoyu was really as spoiled and indulgent as the prince said.
Seeing this, Tan Chun on the side turned his bright eyes slightly and stepped forward cautiously: "Your Majesty, do you mean to let the second brother cultivate himself first, and then assist the country and govern the people?"
As soon as these words came out, Yuan Chun, Jia Mu and others all looked at Tan Chun, and they understood in their hearts that Tan Chun was rescuing Bao Yu, and they were immediately relieved.
Shui Rong also understood the profound meaning. Among the people present, Jia Mu, as the older generation, could not say much. Yuan Chun had lost her etiquette in a hurry, and the same was true. As for the sisters, they could not say anything, only Tan Tan Spring is different.
Tanchun was originally a concubine who came to Tanchun, and her duty was to help Yuanchun. Now that Yuanchun's brother was in trouble, he naturally had to step forward to solve the problem.
Secondly, Tanchun had been favored by Shui Rong before, so even if he said something, it didn't matter. With Shui Rong's temperament, he wouldn't blame her.
As expected, Shui Rong didn't care about this. Instead, he raised his eyes to look at Tanchun and asked with a smile: "Third sister, do you think what I said makes sense?"
Looking at Shui Rong's warm expression, his eyes seemed to be encouraging, Tan Chun couldn't help but feel a slight tremble in his heart, pursed his lips, and said in a clear voice without hesitation: "The so-called self-cultivation, morality, and long-term practice, the prince's words must be reasonable. "
Its sound is sonorous and powerful, which makes people feel refreshed.
When Shui Rong heard the words, his eyes couldn't help but have a look of appreciation, like a "sonorous rose", and his judgment: "talented and shrewd", hit the nail on the head.
Regarding Baoyu, Shui Xiong just said a few words for the sake of his brother-in-law. Whether he changes it or not does not affect Shui Xiong, so Shui Xiong does not intend to say anything more.
At this moment, a gorgeous and dazzling figure walked in, holding a jade bowl with lotus petals and twisting her waist.
