Jia Lian mocked,"It's not that your uncle is favored by the emperor that he got the position of military governor, but because your uncle is the military governor of the capital." To put it bluntly, your uncle's power and position are like a castle on the beach. It looks majestic and magnificent, but it will collapse with a flood.”
Sister Phoenix's expression was ugly." Hmph, I don't believe you! Jealousy is jealousy." Although he said so verbally, he already believed it in his heart.
Jia Lian laughed,"It doesn't matter if you believe it or not." We're just chatting behind closed doors. Anyway, I'm not afraid of Feng Ziying setting up a trap for me to give them some of the profits. I'm just worried that the Military Department is sent by King Zhongshun's side. Originally, I only wanted to keep a low profile and make a fortune, but I ended up standing at the center of the vortex. This is really not what I want!"
"Brother Lian, what should we do now?" Feng Sister asked worriedly.”
She was mighty in the Inner Residence, but she was powerless in the outside world.
"Feng 'er, let me ask you, in this world, who is the most powerful?" Jia Lian asked with a smile.”
"Of course it's the Emperor!"”
Jia Lian asked again,"Then is the Emperor or the Retired Emperor the elder?"”
Sister Phoenix thought for a moment and said uncertainly,"It should still be the emperor, right? After all, the Retired Emperor has already abdicated. Besides,"she said softly this time," there are only a few years left. At that time, won't the Emperor's world still belong to him?”
Jia Lian praised,"My Feng 'er is still smart." Such a simple logic, how could those people not understand?”
Sister Phoenix didn't understand and wanted to ask.
Jia Lian smiled and said,"You don't have to worry about such a small matter outside. I'll take care of it myself." Just wait to count the silver at home!”
"If you don't tell me, I don't want to know!" I won't argue with you anymore. At this time, the old lady wants to eat. I've already instructed the kitchen to prepare your favorite Rouge Goose Pork. Let Ping Er and the others eat it with you! Also, let's eat. You're not allowed to touch them.”
Jia Lian agreed one by one.
Hence, Sister Feng came out of the courtyard, went around the pink and oily big screen wall, and rushed to the old lady's main room with her clothes fluttering in the wind.
The old lady hugged Baoyu, who was like a pink ball, and said lovingly,"Baoyu has been weak since he was young. Therefore, I specially arranged for it to be in the green gauze cabinet and had people look after it at all times. It was not easy for me to grow to this size, but thanks to the blessings of the gods and buddhas, I was not affected by any disasters or illnesses. You are still not satisfied. Today you force him to study, tomorrow you force him to write. You will only be satisfied when you force him to be bad!”
Madam Wang was sitting on a chair on the ground floor. She quickly explained,"I'm not forcing him. It was just that Baoyu was already so old and had yet to start learning. He should find a teacher to teach him how to read.”
Baoyu was not happy to hear the word "study" and begged the old lady,"Ancestor, your grandson has been taught by Eldest Sister-in-law and has already learned how to read. Moreover, the teachers taught him to shake his head. When the students occasionally had questions, they would only stare at him and let him read. He must not have any real talent. It's better for me to read it myself."
Madam Wang said unhappily," Don't talk nonsense. The Mr. Wang I found for you a while ago was from a proper high school. How could he be without talent?"”
Tears welled up in Baoyu's eyes.”
When the old lady heard that this gentleman would hit someone, her expression immediately changed and she reprimanded,"This kind of person is not worthy of teaching my precious jade! Go, give him a few taels of silver and send him away. Don't let him come to our door again!”
Madam Wang quickly stood up and replied,"Old Lady, please calm down. My wife has already asked him to go back."”
The old lady's anger had yet to subside when Sister Phoenix came in. Seeing Madam Wang standing in the middle, she smiled and said,"Old Madam, I have an idea for you. I guarantee that if you and Madam agree, Baoyu will agree too!”
The old lady turned from anger to joy and asked,"Do you have any ideas?"
" I heard that there's a very talented aunt in the Muni Yard outside the west gate," said Sister Phoenix." Why don't we invite her to teach Yingchun and the others? Since Baoyu doesn't want to be taught by the teachers outside, we can let her listen to the girls." This is killing two birds with one stone."
Baoyu could listen with his sisters, so what was there to be dissatisfied about? Even if he still called Mr. Wang back, he would gladly do so.
"How old is this sister-in-law?" Madam Wang asked.”
"She's only in her forties. Even the concubines in the palace often invite her to talk about poetry. It can be seen that she's different from ordinary sisters-in-law."”
The old lady nodded slightly." Then bring it over in a small sedan chair every three to five days. Don't neglect it." However, there is one thing that you need to make clear to her. You only need to teach the three hundred thousand ancient scholars and add some four books. You must not teach the Buddhist scriptures and Zen principles, which will change your temperament.”
"Don't worry, Old Lady and Lady. I'll go invite them tomorrow." He would first let Baoyu and his sisters meet him and only teach him if they were willing.”
Madam Wang also felt that it was appropriate and naturally agreed.
Little did they know that the Zen master taught Zen not by words but by example. Even if he did not say a word, those with wisdom would naturally understand. This was a story for the future.
The old lady caressed Baoyu's head." When Baoyu recovers in two years, I'll let him out. When that time comes, I won't care who you get to teach him.”
Baoyu beamed and bowed to Sister Feng." Thank you, Sister Feng!”
Sister Phoenix quickly helped him up." How can I get your thanks? I'm just saying. You should thank the old lady and madam!”
"I know you also care about Baoyu and don't want him to suffer." This is what a sister-in-law should look like."
"Sometimes, she reminds me of things that I don't even notice." However, Old Mistress shouldn't spoil her too much. If she continued to praise her, she would fly into the sky.”
The old lady hugged Baoyu lovingly as she said,"Little Feng hasn't been here for a long time, but the family is well organized and can suppress those old women and daughters-in-law. She's ten times better than her mother-in-law! Little Feng, I have always been fair. You have done well, so I naturally have to reward you. Those who should fly into the sky should fly wantonly."
The smile on Lady Wang's face never faded, and her eyes never left Baoyu.
Sister Phoenix smiled." Old Lady, Madam, don't worry. No matter how high I fly, the thread is still in your hands!" If you leave me alone, I'll be gone.”She went forward and squatted down beside the bed, gently tugging at the old lady's lapel." Old lady, you must hold on tight. The wind is strong up there!”
The old lady used her finger to point at Sister Feng's forehead." If you want to pinch, let Brother Lian do it. Let's see if he's pestering you or you're pestering him.”
"Old Lady, he and I were enemies in our previous lives. We were entangled in a ball and couldn't be separated!"”
The old lady laughed heartily, and Mrs. Wang smiled faintly.
