I am a miracle doctor in Dream of the Red Chamber
Chapter 15 Jia Yucun goes to the Jia Mansion to be a teacher
Just when Lin Daiyu seemed to have a lot of questions and wanted to ask An Wuxia, she spoke first. "Miss, think about it, can Baoyu and Qin Zhong go to the school in the family?!"
Lin Daiyu said immediately: "Nowadays, the young men here are not doing their jobs properly. In my opinion, they must not go there."
An Wuxia said thoughtfully: "As expected, Qin Zhong will come to visit the old lady today, and will go to the school on a chosen day."
Lin Daiyu said thoughtfully, "Sister Zhaoxia, although Qin Zhong is shy and quiet, and behaves politely, I always feel that he is shy and timid like a girl, and I don't want Baoyu to have too close contact with him."
An Wuxia smiled and said, "It's fine for us to study together, but please don't let your bad habits corrupt Baoyu."
Lin Daiyu said: "I hope that the two of them can make progress together and learn from each other, which is also precious."
An Wuxia directly expressed her worries: "But young lady, how can we stop them from going to school? Otherwise, Baoyu has just returned to the right path, and I'm afraid he will be led astray by those playboys again."
Lin Daiyu's eyes rolled around, and after a while, she leaned over to whisper a plan into An Wuxia's ear. "My girl is smarter than Bi Gan, so this is the most appropriate way to handle this matter."
So Baoyu was also woken up at this time.
Xiren said, "Miss Lin, what's the matter? Why are you calling for help before daybreak?"
Qingwen also said unhappily, "Sister Zhaoxia, Miss Lin must have had some unpleasant experiences again, causing our brother to suffer as well."
I have always known that Qingwen is sharp-tongued, and seeing her like this today, it is indeed true. An Wuxia thought to herself: "Since I am serving Miss Lin, how can you say such harsh words here?"
So An Wuxia crossed her arms, walked to Qingwen's bedside and said confidently, "Oh, Miss Qingwen, you are so arrogant! Baoyu and Daiyu are dear to me, but how come it is your turn as a servant to criticize our Miss Lin! I guess you think you are noble and prestigious because you serve Baoyu?!"
When Xiren heard An Wuxia's words, she got up from the bed and apologized without waiting for Qingwen to reply. Qingwen was not one to be taken advantage of. She got dressed and got out of bed and said, "Oh, you are just a servant like us, and you are an outsider. Why are you trying to be so proud of yourself?"
Xiren hurriedly scolded Qingwen, "Little ancestor! You'd better restrain yourself! After all, we can see each other every day." Qingwen got out of bed and went out angrily.
Baoyu had already gotten up, rubbed his eyes, and put on his clothes without waiting for Xiren to come over. At this time, Lin Daiyu also came over and whispered in his ear for a while.
Baoyu immediately understood, and hurriedly washed and dressed up, and went to meet Grandmother Jia with Daiyu. Early in the morning, the two little ancestors knelt in front of Grandmother Jia, which frightened Grandmother Jia. "Grandma, please send the attendants away. Your grandson has something important to discuss with you."
Grandmother Jia waved her hand hastily, asking Yuanyang and the other maids to leave. "Baoyu, girl Lin, what is it that you two are so anxious to find me about?!"
Baoyu then said, "Grandma, I originally made an appointment with Qin Zhong, the brother of Grandma Xiaorong from the East Mansion, to go to the private school together."
Grandmother Jia smiled and said, "This is a great thing. You have a companion. Wouldn't it be better to work hard together?"
Baoyu then said, "But grandma, think carefully, what is the learning style of our school like now?!"
Grandmother Jia asked in confusion: "Baoyu, why are you asking this question now?!"
Lin Daiyu said at this time: "Grandmother, I have been here for such a long time, and I see that the young men here are only engaged in cockfighting, running errands, eating, drinking and having fun, and have never put their minds on their studies."
Grandmother Jia thought for a moment and said, "Every school has those second-rate students who are not diligent. This is the most normal thing. Children raised by families like ours will naturally not be the same as them."
Baoyu went on to say, "Grandmother, please think about it carefully. The people in our private school are all the children of our clan members who cannot afford to hire a teacher, and the children of our relatives. It is inevitable that there will be a mixture of good and bad people."
Lin Daiyu said, "Grandma, take a look around. In our Rong Mansion, apart from Brother Lan'er who is really working hard, the rest of the people are just useless. Isn't it only recently that Baoyu has stopped being scolded by his second uncle?!"
The old lady fell silent and stopped talking. She leaned on the couch and closed her eyes, thinking.
Baoyu took the opportunity to continue, "Grandma, think about it. Since our great-grandfather founded the Ning and Rong mansions, our grandfather's generation has inherited the title. There is no one in our father's generation who has made great achievements. We are just relying on the protection of our ancestors to barely continue the glory of the past."
As soon as these words came out, Jia Mu suddenly opened her eyes. She stared at Baoyu for a long time, then she sighed deeply and said, "Baoyu, please continue!"
Baoyu then continued cautiously, "I think that my great-grandfather risked his life to create this family business, so each generation cannot be worse than the previous one. We should be prepared for danger in times of peace, study hard, and make achievements in civil and military affairs, support the country, and revitalize the family in the future."
Lin Daiyu also said at this time: "In the past, if a family with wealth and power did not have a far-sighted and wise elder to take charge, and the descendants did not know how to make progress, wouldn't each generation be worse than the previous one?!"
Grandmother Jia said meaningfully, "My dear children, I have not loved you in vain! I have been worried about what you are talking about for decades! Since I came here, I have seen prosperity and wealth for three generations, and by Lan'er's generation, it has been five generations. But now these descendants are just empty positions, or they donate money to be officials. There is no one with real ability! If this continues, I am afraid it will not last long!"
Baoyu said, "Grandmother, what you said is very true. I am thinking of working with Lan'er. From now on, uncle and nephew will work hard and learn a lot of skills. In the future, we will continue the glory of our family and benefit the court and the people."
These words made Jia's mother's eyes well up with joy. She said excitedly, "Among all the children and grandchildren, you are the only one who looks most like a grandfather. I have brought you up by my side since you were a child. You must strive to be a good person, my Baoyu!"
Baoyu kowtowed and said, "Don't worry, grandma. I was naughty and indulged myself before. From now on, I will study hard with Lan'er and live up to your hard work."
Lin Daiyu said, "Grandmother, I have another suggestion today. Although I am a girl, my father has always been strict with my studies. My teacher has been idle at home since I came here, and has never held an official position. It happens that he lives outside the capital with his wet nurse Wang Ma. I want my father to write a letter to continue to employ this teacher to teach in our private school."
Baoyu said: "It is said that Mr. Jia Yucun is also a Jinshi and once served as an official. He was dismissed for some reason and became Lin Daiyu's teacher."
Lin Daiyu said, "I heard from Sister Chaoxia that Mr. Jia was originally going to Beijing with me, with his father's handwritten letter of recommendation to meet my second uncle. But he lost the letter of recommendation, and lost the opportunity to use the old man. He has been living in the suburbs of Beijing with Nanny Wang ever since."
Grandmother Jia said, "It's not difficult to hire a private school teacher, but how is Jia Yucun teaching? What does Miss Lin think of him?!"
Without waiting for Daiyu to speak, Baoyu said hurriedly: "Grandma, you can tell from my sister's knowledge and behavior that she must be very learned, talented and extremely strict!"
Lin Daiyu also smiled and said, "Speaking of teaching, Jia Yucun is a well-known and good teacher! Whether it is recitation, explanation, calligraphy or writing, he is extremely strict and meticulous. I also respect him very much."
Grandmother Jia said, "In that case, let your father write a letter and ask her to continue to come to our private school and continue to teach you children."
Baoyu said happily: "So, Lan'er, Qin Zhong, Sister Lin, Third Sister, Second Sister and Fourth Sister and I can all study at home in the future, and don't have to go to the clan school."
Grandmother Jia smiled and said, "Look at how pretty you are, little monkey! You are bringing trouble to your sister Lin!"
Here Baoyu turned around and bowed to express his gratitude, saying, "Thank you, sister Duoduo. I hope you will give me guidance on my studies in the future. I am right!"
Lin Daiyu blushed and spat, saying, "You don't have to thank me so early! When you pass the imperial examination tomorrow, just don't forget me, your sister!" After that, she ran out of Jia's grandmother's bedroom, and Baoyu chased her out.
Grandmother Jia looked at their backs as they ran away, her heart filled with relief and love.
