I pretend to be a unicorn in the Red Mansion
Chapter 56: Grandmother Jia is getting better soon
Jia Cheng cured Jia's mother's illness and she also received accurate news that she would be fully recovered after taking the medicine for a month.
Grandmother Jia's mood is now bright and she is no longer depressed.
She now saw that the sky outside was bluer and the grass was greener, and that Jia She's face was handsomer and no longer hateful.
When Grandmother Jia looked at Jia Cheng again, she felt that this was the little golden grandson given to her by the gods. He was full of blessings and made people love him very much.
Grandmother Jia was extremely curious about Jia Cheng and kept asking him questions. Only by getting to know Jia Cheng more clearly could she get closer to him.
Such a filial and capable grandson is a great fortune, so she must win him over.
Grandmother Jia thought that she had been too obsessed with appearance in the past and placed all her hopes on Baoyu.
But since ancient times, you can never bet on just one thing, you have to cast a wide net.
She can be nice to Baoyu and Jia Cheng, so why should she favor one over the other?
Being partial to one over the other would not only make Jia She angry, but would also make her miss out on a capable grandson like Jia Cheng.
Grandmother Jia suddenly realized.
She looked at Jia Cheng with even more fondness, as if she was looking at a treasure.
The favorability level also reached 80 directly.
"Brother Cheng, you said you can recite the Four Books and Five Classics by heart? Grandmother, let me test you and see how it goes."
Jia Cheng smiled slightly, not afraid at all, "Grandma, go ahead and take the exam. I'm not lying, I've read all the books needed for the exam.
But the master hasn’t found a teacher to teach me policy writing yet. He said I’m still too young and there’s no need to rush.”
With Jia Cheng's superb memory and comprehension, he doesn't need to study hard at all.
When it comes to studying, talent is more important than hard work.
There used to be a saying that genius is one percent talent and ninety-nine percent perspiration.
After reading the first half of the sentence, everyone started working hard, always thinking that the early bird catches the worm and diligence can make up for lack of talent.
But the second sentence of this sentence is that the one percent of talent is particularly important, even more important than the ninety-nine percent of sweat.
Jia Cheng has the bonus of the system and the experience from his previous life, so he is very proficient in studying in this life. He can learn in one day what others learn in ten days.
As long as he puts in a little effort, he can leave others behind. He is not comparable to those stupid birds.
Jia Cheng's words made Grandmother Jia smile even more. It was rare for her to agree with Jia She's idea.
"Yes, yes, you are still young and your body is not fully grown yet.
Fortunately, your father has a plan in mind and knows not to let you study too hard."
Grandmother Jia gave Jia She an admiring look. In her heart, although Jia She was inferior to Jia Zheng in every aspect, he was better in one aspect: he knew how to balance work and rest.
Jia Zheng attached too much importance to reading. Not only did he read himself, he also forced his children to read.
That's why Jia Zhu died of exhaustion at a young age.
Grandmother Jia didn't want Jia Baoyu to follow in Jia Zhu's footsteps, so she always indulged him, letting him have fun and read less.
Compared with so-called fame and fortune, life is of course more important. Grandmother Jia has lived a wise life.
It was the first time that Jia She heard good words from Lady Jia, and he was actually a little flattered.
Although he had long since given up hope for this mother, deep in his heart he still longed for maternal love.
If he hadn't had any hope in Lady Jia, he wouldn't have been so disappointed.
He always speaks ill of Lady Jia now, perhaps hoping that she would pay more attention to him.
So when Jia She suddenly heard Jia Mu's praise, he was so moved that he was speechless.
For a moment, the room was peaceful. The scene of loving mother and filial son was a rare sight.
When Lady Jia saw the gentle expression on Jia She's face, she missed him very much.
In the past, Jia She also looked at her with such admiration and was always very filial to her.
But she never took Jia She seriously. She was still thinking about the hatred between her and her mother-in-law, so she was particularly mean to Jia She.
But recently, Grandmother Jia has been reflecting on how she could have let her good life turn out like this.
Obviously, she has a filial son and a caring daughter, and their family should be harmonious and happy.
But she ended up making a mess of things, with brothers turning against each other and mother and son killing each other. Why bother?
Grandmother Jia knew that as long as she showed a little kindness to Jia She, Jia She would listen to her and be a good son.
It turns out that she is so stingy with her maternal love.
Jia She is also a piece of her flesh and blood. What has she been feeling awkward about all these years?
Her mother-in-law has been dead for so many years, why should she use the past events to punish her and Jia She?
Grandmother Jia intended to show her favor to Jia She, and Jia She gladly accepted it. He hated Grandmother Jia's favoritism, but if Grandmother Jia was partial to him, he would not hate it.
He also wanted to win over Jia Zheng in maternal love and make Jia Zheng envy him.
Jia Zheng: ..., childish boy.
Lady Jia and Jia She, you said nice things to me and I showed my filial piety to you. The atmosphere in the room was very warm.
Jia Cheng also came to join in the fun and improvised a passage from the Analects of Confucius.
Grandmother Jia was extremely pleased to hear Jia Cheng reciting the book fluently in his clear voice and with confidence in his eyes.
He is a studious person, completely different from Baoyu who gets a headache when he looks at books.
Jia Cheng's behavior reminded Lady Jia of Jia Zhu. Jia Zhu also loved reading. He would not go out to play and would stay in the room to write big characters and finish reading the books he was supposed to read.
Thinking of this, Grandmother Jia's heart skipped a beat, and she hugged Jia Cheng and told him: "Brother Cheng, you are really good at memorizing books, but there is no rush to learn.
You are still growing, you are still young and have a long time to study.
The imperial examination is not an easy thing, it is very tiring, wait until you are a little older before taking the exam."
Jia Cheng nodded in agreement. In his previous life, he had read popular science about the imperial examinations, and the examination environment there was very different from that of modern times.
In that small space, some people would be exhausted after enduring for several days, and some weak scholars would even die.
Jia Cheng didn't want to experience such hardship at such a young age.
Although he has taken some powerful pills now, he is in very good health.
But he was raised by Jia She and had never been able to keep his feet on the ground, so he developed some mysophobia. He didn't want to go without a bath for several days and take the imperial examination.
It’s too much suffering, he should just wait for the emperor to grant him an official position directly.
Jia Cheng felt that there was nothing wrong with taking shortcuts. Since he had the ability to do so, he certainly didn't want to suffer.
If people are willing to suffer, there will be endless suffering; if people are willing to enjoy happiness, there will be endless happiness.
Jia Cheng is well-behaved and obedient. He agrees to whatever his grandmother says. Grandmother Jia likes his well-behaved and sensible appearance. Compared with Jia She, the rebellious son, Jia Cheng, the grandson, is really a well-behaved one.
So Grandmother Jia loved him so much that she wished she could keep Jia Cheng by her side to accompany her.
So Jia's mother tentatively said: "Brother Cheng, come and live with your grandmother. There are delicious food and fun things here. You can have whatever you want."
When Jia Cheng heard what his grandmother said, he finally understood why Jia Baoyu was so incompetent in his previous life. Anyone who was spoiled like this would become incompetent.
Jia Cheng hesitated for a moment, actually he was reluctant to agree.
He can get whatever he wants in Rong Xi Tang, but a rash refusal might affect Lady Jia's favorability towards him.
So he thought about it for three seconds, and then Jia She refused on his behalf.
"Old lady, you are not well yet, and Cheng is still a little bit spoiled because of me, so I'd better not disturb you here.
Besides, Cheng'er has to come over to see you every day, and you can see him every day, so why let him live in Rongqingtang?
Rongxi Hall is a big room, and I renovated it for him. It is also close to the study, which is convenient for him to read books and medical books. "
Jia She's emphasis on this made Grandmother Jia feel a little regretful, but she wanted Jia Cheng to continue his medical studies more.
People are afraid of death when they get old. After this illness, does that mean Lady Jia cherishes her health more?
If you have a grandson who is a miracle doctor by your side, then your health will be guaranteed.
Grandmother Jia still wants to live a long life, so her future hopes are placed on her grandson.
Although she wanted to keep Jia Cheng by her side, she also didn't want Jia Cheng to delay his studies.
Grandmother Jia felt that her yard was not quiet at all, with people coming and going every day.
With a bunch of wives and old women trying to please her, how can she have a quiet environment to read?
Besides, Grandmother Jia didn't want Jia Cheng to be surrounded by women like Jia Baoyu.
Although Grandmother Jia also knew that it was wrong for Jia Baoyu to hang out with the maids every day, she was too spoiled to him and could not change her habit of indulging him in a short time.
Grandmother Jia glanced at the head maid beside her and called out to Feicui, who responded.
"Fei Cui, you must help Brother Cheng more if he has any problems in the future. Brother Cheng's words are my words."
It was just a simple sentence, but the other maids thought too much about it when they heard it.
They thought that Grandmother Jia attached special importance to Jia Cheng.
Jia Cheng can even order the maids around Jia Mu around, which shows that Jia Mu has delegated power to Jia Cheng and given him the greatest freedom.
This is treatment that even Jia Baoyu can't match.
Although Feicui is just a maid beside Lady Jia, she represents Lady Jia when she walks in other courtyards. Who doesn't give Feicui some face and call her Sister Feicui?
Even Wang Xifeng was polite to Feicui.
And now that Grandmother Jia said that Jia Cheng could use jadeite at will, it meant that Jia Cheng could use jadeite to bully others and have more say in Rongguo Mansion.
Suddenly everyone looked at Jia Cheng differently, but Jia Cheng didn't care at all.
His father is the real master of this mansion. Although he is occasionally suppressed by Lady Jia, his father is a man who will fight back if he is not convinced. No one dares to mess with him.
He won't be wronged.
After taking the pills given by Jia Cheng for several days, Grandmother Jia felt better and better. Sometimes she even had so much energy that she had no place to vent it, so she had to walk in the yard to relax.
Looking at the old lady's steady steps, she was completely different from before.
Mrs. Wang was so angry that she felt a headache when she saw that Lady Jia was in good health, even healthier than herself.
In fact, when Lady Jia suddenly fell ill, Mrs. Wang was actually gloating over her misfortune.
The mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law are natural enemies. Mrs. Wang is happy only when Lady Jia is not a good person.
She felt that it was retribution for Lady Jia taking her child away.
Now Lady Jia and Jia Cheng are particularly close, and she is no longer as cold to Jia She as before.
Mrs. Wang suddenly felt that the situation in the mansion had changed.
She had also vaguely heard that Jia Cheng was treating Lady Jia's illness and said that the medicine he prescribed was very effective.
Mrs. Wang treated this as a joke and waited for the result. She wished that Lady Jia would die from taking Jia Cheng's medicine.
Then she won without any effort.
As a result, Lady Jia's condition really got better day by day, and Mrs. Wang was really angry with Jia Cheng.
The better Lady Jia treated Jia Cheng, the more jealous Lady Wang became.
This was clearly the treatment that Jia Baoyu received, but now, Jia Cheng has become the phoenix egg in Grandmother Jia's heart and the lifeblood of her life. What about Baoyu?
At this time, Mrs. Wang no longer cared about Baoyu's studies. She had a big quarrel with Jia Zheng and asked him to let Jia Baoyu go and not let him read any books anymore.
What does a six-year-old child know? The most important thing now is Grandmother Jia's favor.
Grandmother Jia's private savings were so abundant that even if Jia Baoyu studied hard and passed the imperial examinations, all the salaries he received would be accumulated in his entire life and would not be worth even a fraction of what Grandmother Jia had.
Besides, as long as Jia Baoyu pleases his grandmother, he will be able to inherit the Rongguo Mansion in the future.
What's the use of reading? Jia Baoyu has a talent for reading anyway. At least he is good at writing poetry, and having this reputation is enough.
Mrs. Wang wanted her son to take a shortcut, which coincided with Jia Cheng's opinion.
Both of them want to take shortcuts, so naturally they dislike each other and are wary of each other.
Mrs. Wang regards Jia Cheng as a thorn in her side.
So Mrs. Wang rolled her eyes and came up with another sinister plan.
