Chapter 103 I want to do business
When Jia Cong praised Baoyu for his intelligence, Mother Jia quickly smiled and said, "You're right. Baoyu is quite clever, and he is most similar to your grandfather. Others say that I favor him, but how do you know that I am
I really can't control myself. Whenever I see him, I think of your grandfather, and I can't help but love him more. I don't know that I'm afraid of spoiling him if this goes on, but I'm cold-hearted.
From what I can see, this Baoyu is also a good boy who knows the importance of advancing and retreating, so he may learn bad things..."
After hearing this, Jia Cong laughed and said: "The ancestors are right. In the world, how can there be any truth in the elders loving the younger ones? Besides, this family is not a place for reasoning. They have never experienced it, but I know Baoyu very well.
My brother is a man with a great background. From now on, if our Jia family wants to revitalize the family business, it will probably fall on him, so what does it mean to favor him more?"
Jia's mother was even more happy after hearing this. She nodded repeatedly and praised Jia Cong: "You are indeed a very understanding child. Compared with your uncle, my father is probably better. Both of them blame me for favoring Baoyu and are afraid that I will get used to it."
I broke him..."
Jia Cong smiled but didn't answer. Mrs. Wang was naturally very happy to listen to Jia Cong praising her son. The more she looked at Jia Cong, the more she liked him, and she really liked him in her heart.
All the beauties watching listened to Jia Cong's praise of Jia Baoyu, and they all laughed and said nothing.
Although Xue Baochai had just arrived, she had heard her mother mention Jia Baoyu thousands of times at home, and she had long been very familiar with her cousin.
She heard from her mother that Baoyu was extremely naughty and unwilling to read serious books, but he was willing to work hard on girls and coaxed all the girls in the family to be very close to him.
As for what Jia Baoyu often said: Girls are flesh and blood made of water. As long as I am with girls, I feel refreshed, but when I am with men, I feel filthy.
Baochai had heard this famous saying not just once or twice.
Whenever her mother talks about Baoyu, she just smiles and praises him. From the inside, she really looks down on her cousin: he has been a man for nothing!
As a man, career must be the top priority. No matter whether you are a scholar or go to the frontier to establish a career in martial arts, you must always work hard to become stronger. What is it like hanging around with a group of girls all day long?
?
Since I arrived in the capital the day before yesterday, I also met Baoyu and learned about Baoyu's gentle methods. Baochai despised him even more: he had such a good appearance in vain, but he was not willing to take the right path at all.
For this reason, Baochai always stayed away from Jia Baoyu intentionally or unintentionally. What's more, it was not for Jia Baoyu that she came to the capital this time. She had important things to do that related to the fate of the whole family, so she was even more lazy to pay attention to him.
Today she met Jia Cong for the first time, and she saw that although he was very good-looking, he was also glib and the best at making people happy.
At first, Baochai regarded Jia Cong as someone like Jia Baoyu: every man in the Jia family had a good skin but an empty belly.
When Jia Cong suddenly started talking about the future of the Jia family, Baochai couldn't help but pay attention: It seems that this boy is different from other men in the Jia family.
She heard Jia Cong praising Baoyu vigorously, but she smiled slightly and didn't think so: Even if Baoyu has a great history, so what? Looking at his problems, I'm afraid he won't get much better in the future. Jia Cong, this kid, will
I don't know what I want to ask the old lady for. I'll use Baoyu as a foreshadowing. Once the old lady is made happy, she will naturally not refuse.
This is human nature, so Baochai just smiled and didn't think much about it.
Just listen to Jia Cong say again at this time: "Ancestor, I can't do it in literature. When it comes to martial arts, ancestor, can you see if my body and bones can be saved? I actually thought about going to the frontier to make meritorious service and kill the enemy.
…”
When Jia Mu and everyone heard his question, they all stared at him carefully: Jia Cong was probably not much heavier than his whole body. Even if he wasn't skinny and weak, he wouldn't be much stronger. He had obvious bones in his body.
It is the result of innate deficiencies and lack of proper care.
When everyone saw that he was as thin as a chicken, although they refused to say it, they understood the reason in their hearts: He was a young master born from a concubine, no one loved him, no one loved him, and it was not easy for him to survive to this day.
Now, how can we expect his body and bones to be so strong?
For a moment, everyone was silent and looked a little embarrassed. But Jia Cong didn't take it seriously at all, and then smiled and said: "Old ancestor, with my small body, I can't lift a gun or a knife, but I want to achieve something on the battlefield.
This career can be said to be extremely difficult."
After hearing this, Jia's mother hurriedly said: "Good boy, I'm really sorry for you. According to what you said, you can't do anything as a martial artist, but what should I do? Do you have other ideas?"
Upon hearing this, Jia Cong hurriedly smiled and replied: "Yes, ancestors, I have thought of a way out. After thinking about it for a long time, I finally feel that it is quite reliable."
Upon hearing this, Jia's mother hurriedly asked: "Good boy, please tell me what it is. Just say it boldly and I will make the decision for you."
Jia Cong then said seriously: "Go into business!"
"Business?" Jia Mu was slightly startled after hearing this. Nowadays, if you want to become a successful person, you can only take the imperial examination and military examination. After passing the selection at all levels, you can finally enter the court and become an official. This is the right way to honor your ancestors. Become a businessman.
But it is something that people look down upon along the way.
Seeing Jia Mu's face hesitant, Jia Cong asked with a smile: "Ancestor, what, isn't it good to make money in business?"
Jia Mu frowned slightly and replied: "It's not bad, but just doing business seems to be better than being an official in the court with civil and military services."
After hearing this, Jia Cong even smiled and said: "Ancestor, what's wrong with this? What's more, what do I need that false name for? Since ancient times, power and money have not been separated. As long as I can make a lot of money, what else can I pay for?
Can’t you buy it?”
When Jia Mu heard what he said, her heart was shocked. She stared at Jia Cong for a long time and was speechless. It turned out that she had heard this sentence more than once. Her grandfather told her, and her father told her,
After marrying into the Jia family, her husband also told her.
Unexpectedly, decades later, one of her juniors would be able to see through this truth, which is really commendable.
At that moment, the old lady looked at Jia Cong with admiration and asked sternly: "Cong'er, you are right, but what kind of business can you do as a child?"
Jia Cong hurriedly replied: "Ancestor, I haven't thought about it all yet. But I already have some clues. I'm asking someone to help me find out. If it is really feasible by then, I will talk to my ancestor."
Jia's mother was filled with admiration after hearing this, and said: "It is said that the children of the poor become the masters early. Although you are not a child of a poor family, you know how to plan for the future at a young age, which is still very good. No matter what you want to do,
