I pretend to be a unicorn in the Red Mansion

Although Jia She felt a little jealous, he couldn't delay his son's business. Since Jia Cheng wanted Jia Zheng to present the cement recipe, he didn't stop him.

I just feel that the second child got a bargain.

Today, Jia Zheng did not go out to attend the poetry meeting, but instead taught Jia Baoyu in the study.

Seeing how successful Jia Cheng was, Jia Zheng was a little jealous, but he would not want to destroy Jia Cheng out of jealousy. Instead, he wanted Jia Baoyu to work hard to catch up with Jia Cheng.

Jia Zheng's envy and jealousy are just about wanting to emulate others, and he doesn't fantasize about dragging others into the quagmire and degenerating together with them.

This is the difference between Jia Zheng and Wang Fu-ren.

Jia Cheng is eloquent and has won the favor of the two princes in Prince Yong's mansion. Jia Zheng believes that his nephew's success is due to his good academic performance.

Jia Zheng hopes that Jia Baoyu can study hard and learn one or two points of Jia Cheng's skills.

Jia Baoyu felt hopeless as he read those obscure and difficult articles under the supervision of Jia Zheng. He even wanted to die.

At this moment, he missed his mother even more. If his mother were still alive, perhaps he wouldn't have to study here.

It's a beautiful spring day outside, a great day for picking flowers, catching butterflies and going out for fun.

But in such good weather, he could only be locked in the study to read and had to face his ferocious father. It was really a great regret in his life.

Seeing Jia Baoyu's reluctant expression, Jia Zheng was furious and could not help scolding him: "You evil creature, you act like a dead man when I asked you to study.

Look at Cheng, he is the same age as me, but why does he always go into the study whenever he has free time?

I don't ask you to be as successful as Cheng, but at least don't embarrass me."

After hearing Jia Zheng's words, Jia Baoyu's favorability towards Jia Cheng dropped another ten points. He recalled his elder sister's words in his mind, "Then Jia Cheng was born to be your nemesis. If he is good, you will be bad."

Although Jia Baoyu felt that this statement made no sense, he could not get rid of the thought at this moment.

Jia Baoyu pursed his lips and said to Jia Zheng in a timid voice: "Master, I am willing to study, but I am too lonely. I want to go to the family school."

When Jia Zheng heard this, he sneered, "Don't mention the word school in front of me, it's really ridiculous.

You want to go to the family study to play with people? Well, I see you don't have the heart to study, go away quickly, be careful not to dirty the quiet place of my study."

Jia Zheng was also a child, and he saw through Jia Baoyu's thoughts at a glance.

The Jia family's school had only Jia Dairu in charge, but over the years no one had made any progress, not even one who passed the examination to become a student.

What can you learn from studying there? Jia Dairu is just teaching these relatives of the Jia family a few words. Don't be a blind man and be laughed at.

It is obvious that Jia Baoyu has ulterior motives when he wants to go to a private school. He simply relies on his high status and the fact that no one can control him and he can play around as he pleases.

Jia Zheng estimated that Baoyu could no longer be satisfied with the playmates in this mansion, so he wanted to find some friends outside to have fun with.

Jia Zheng sighed and began to miss Jia Zhu again.

If Zhu'er were still alive, she might have been serving as an official in the same court with him, and the father and son could have created a beautiful story.

He didn't know whether he could live to see the day when Jia Baoyu would become successful. Maybe by the time Jia Baoyu passed the imperial examination, he would already be buried.

When Jia Zheng saw Jia Baoyu, he got angry and picked him up and put him at the door. "Alright, alright, go and play, don't get in my way here."

Jia Baoyu shrank his neck and felt a little uncomfortable.

He was unwilling to study, but he also didn't want to be abandoned by his father.

Without Mrs. Wang's mediation, Jia Zheng became increasingly disappointed with Jia Bao.

Jia Baoyu is not stupid, so of course he can see that his father's attention to him is gradually decreasing.

But when he was asked to sit still and read in the study, he just couldn't sit still.

His head hurts whenever he sees those economic questions.

In the end, the child's nature overcame reason, Jia Baoyu walked out of the study and ran towards the sunshine.

Jia Zheng looked at Jia Baoyu's hurriedly leaving back, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

He wanted to train Baoyu well. Baoyu was his only legitimate son, so how could he not love him?

His parents love him deeply and discipline him harshly. They are strict with him because they want him to have a bright future.

But Baoyu didn't know his painstaking efforts and only wanted to play, which made him very disappointed.

Jia Zheng pounded his chest, feeling very upset.

At first, he hoped that this child born with a jade in his mouth would have great fortune, and it would be best if he could grab a book or a seal during the one-year-old ceremony.

As a result, Jia Baoyu actually grabbed a box of rouge. He was so angry that he blurted out that this child would become a sex-hungry ghost when he grew up.

Later, Jia Zheng regretted it and felt that he should not speak like that about his son.

Later I realized it was too early to regret it, he was really good at judging people.

Jia Baoyu really lived up to the box of rouge. At such a young age, he knew how to play and laugh with the maids, which looked very frivolous.

Just like his uncle Jia She.

Jia Zheng sometimes wondered if the child was taken away by mistake.

Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang gave birth at the same time, so it is possible that mistakes were made in the chaos.

Jia Zheng knew that this idea was ridiculous, but he couldn't help thinking about it. What if he was wrong?

Cheng'er likes reading, just like he did when he was young.

Cheng'er has a delicate little face, and his face shape is exactly the same as his, while Jia Baoyu has a big face.

Jia Zheng, who had become obsessed, completely ignored the fact that he and Jia She had the same face shape. Is it possible that Jia Cheng took after his biological father?

He also forgot that Mrs. Wang had a face as white as a silver plate, and Jia Baoyu took after his mother.

He ignored the facts he didn't want to accept and looked for every clue to prove that the child was taken away by mistake.

He really didn't want to admit that he had given birth to a little playboy who didn't like to study.

Jia Zheng sat at his desk and began to imagine what it would be like if Jia Cheng was his son.

Jia Zheng was daydreaming happily when suddenly two coughs were heard outside the door and Jia She's slightly gloomy face suddenly appeared in front of Jia Zheng.

Jia Zheng was startled and woke up as if from a dream, with a hint of disappointment on his face.

He greeted Jia She reluctantly, and the expression on his face seemed to ask, what are you doing here?

When he turned his gaze behind Jia She and saw Jia Cheng's exquisite little face, an ecstatic smile immediately broke out on his face:

"Oh my! Brother Cheng is here too? Come on in! The sun is so scorching outside, why did you come here in person?

If there is anything, just send someone to let me know and your uncle will come to you directly.

How could those people who serve you be so careless?" Jia Zheng said as he glared at Jia She fiercely.

But then he waved to Jia Cheng with a smile on his face and said, "Come, come to your uncle, I will wipe your sweat off. Sweating and being exposed to the wind will easily make you sick."

Jia Zheng treated Jia Cheng with extraordinary enthusiasm, and his eyes when he looked at Jia Cheng were full of deep fatherly love.

Jia She stood in front of Jia Cheng speechlessly, not knowing what Jia Zheng was up to.

He felt that something was wrong with Jia Zheng's words, as if he was implying that his father was careless.

How could a father like him harm his own son? What's wrong with Jia Zheng?

Jia Zheng walked around Jia She and pulled Jia Cheng to his side. He wiped the sweat from his forehead with a slightly clumsy but extremely serious attitude.

Jia Cheng was very well-behaved and sensible. He enjoyed Jia Zheng's unskilled flattery and greeted him respectfully.

When he looked up, he was surprised to find that Jia Zheng's favorability towards him had suddenly increased from 70 to 80.

Jia Cheng was a little confused as to what caused his good uncle's enthusiasm and trust in him to turn into infatuation.

This word representing favorability may not be accurate. Infatuation probably represents a higher level of emotion than trust. The concubine system always uses the wrong words.

When Jia Cheng saw the words "80, Obsession" above Jia Zheng's head, he was very upset.

However, Jia Zheng's improved impression of him made him feel that this was the right move.

Given his Second Uncle's current favorable impression of him, it would be worth it for him to push his Second Uncle up a step, which would definitely come in handy in the future.

Jia Cheng's little mouth was as sweet as honey. He would quote classics to praise Jia Zheng. Jia Zheng was flattered by him and his favorability rating rose by another five points.

Life is indeed as easy as pie, and no one can escape Jia Cheng’s sweet trap.

Jia Zheng and Jia Cheng were having a great time, and the atmosphere was so harmonious that no one else could interfere.

Jia She felt that he seemed a bit of an eyesore.

You two are fine, who is he?

Humph, Cheng'er is his own son, why should Jia Zheng be so attentive to him?

Jia She didn't want to listen to Jia Zheng's nonsense to please Jia Cheng, so he interrupted the two of them and said directly: "Second brother, I came to you today for something serious. Do you know about the flood in the south?"

Jia Zheng was a little unhappy that his conversation was interrupted by Jia She.

Didn't you see that he was happily talking to Cheng'er? Isn't this delaying the development of his relationship with Cheng'er? How tactless.

Jia Zheng could only complain in his heart, but he was angry but dared not speak out. After all, Jia She was his elder brother, and he was naturally superior to him.

And Cheng'er is the eldest brother's son, so he has to bow his head under the eaves.

Jia Zheng replied somewhat aggrievedly: "Everyone in the capital knows about this. The emperor had many people killed because of this. Those officials who are just sitting there doing nothing are really despicable."

Jia She said straight to the point: "Now Cheng'er is going to give you wealth and honor. When you get promoted and become more capable in the future, don't forget Cheng'er."

Jia She handed the cement recipe to Jia Zheng, who was stunned. "What is this?"

Jia Cheng took over and explained: "Uncle, this thing is called cement. In short, cement becomes extremely hard when it comes into contact with water, almost like stone.

The advantage of cement is that it can be made into a wall without any gaps, which can effectively resist flooding."

Jia Zheng had been in the Ministry of Works for so many years and had some brains. He understood the benefits of this thing as soon as he heard it.

At the same time, I thought that if this thing could be made into a wall without any gaps, it would be a magical weapon whether it was used to resist floods or build houses.

This good fortune, Cheng Ge'er just gave it to me?

Jia Zheng looked at Jia Cheng with softer eyes. This child was destined to be his.

Otherwise, why didn't Brother Cheng give the cement to others but only to himself? This is the bond between father and son.
