The eldest son of the red mansion

As soon as the two of them came to the old lady's courtyard, the maid hurriedly informed Li, "Master and grandma came to see the old lady."

When the two of them came to the door of the main room, some servant girls rushed to open the curtain and lead them into the main room.

As soon as Jia Ke entered the old lady's room, she saw that Wang Xifeng was sitting beside the old lady, making the old lady laugh.

Not only Wang Xifeng, Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, Yingchun and other sisters were also there.Everyone was talking and laughing together there, it was so lively.

After Jia Ke came in, they all stood up quickly and saluted Jia Ke first, especially after Jia Baoyu saw Jia Ke, he immediately became reserved.

There is a rule in Jia's family, that is, the younger brother in the family is afraid of the elder brother.Although Jia Ke and Jia Baoyu are not siblings of the same mother, Jia Baoyu has no less fear of Jia Ke.Compared with Jia Zheng, he is no different.

Jia Ke asked them to excuse them and then came to Jia Mu's side, knelt down on both knees and kowtowed to Jia Mu, "Grandson Jia Ke greeted the old lady."

"Get up quickly, why do my family always make such a fuss when we meet every day? If you do such a big gift in the future, I will beat you." When Jiamu saw Jiake, she bowed down to him, and quickly ordered the mandarin duck next to her to help Jia Ke up. , and then a complaint.

After Jia Ke got up, she smiled and said to Mother Jia: "Is it normal for us grandchildren to kowtow to the old lady? Besides, birthday stars like the old lady. If I kowtow to you, I will be blessed."

Jia's mother beamed at Jia Ke's words, "You are still a monkey who can talk, your mouth is almost as good as Feng girl's."

Wang Xifeng listened nearby, Mother Jia compared her to Jia Ke, glanced at Jia Ke with her watery eyes, and then said: "The old lady is laughing at me. How can I compare with the uncle? "

Standing beside Jia Ke, Qin Keqing watched Wang Xifeng keep glancing at Jia Ke in public, and hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Old lady, we are here this time to say hello to the old lady. This time before Going to Qingxu Temple to have a funeral, our uncle also accompanied the old lady. It can be regarded as a filial piety to the old lady."

When Jia Mu heard that Jia Ke was willing to go with him, she was even more happy.Originally, Mother Jia was a person who liked to show off and be lively.If Jia Ke went with her, the scene would be different from before.

"Accompanying me, an old lady, won't delay the official affairs of the court. If you have something to do, you can go." Although Jia's mother hoped that Jia Ke would go with him, she still put on a show to persuade him.

Jia Ke said to the old lady with a smile on her face: "I don't have anything to do these few days, so I can go for a walk with the old lady. After two days, I will be busy with things and have no time to be filial in front of the old lady."

At this time, Mother Jia was already grinning from ear to ear, "Then it's settled, let's go together in the first day of junior high school."

Jia Ke cupped her hands and said, "Don't worry, the old lady will let Keqing arrange that day, and then bring all my personal soldiers with me, in case someone bumps into us on the road."

Jia Ke now felt that the Rongguo Mansion was different from the past. I don't know how many eyes were staring at him. It was better to bring his own soldiers. If something happened, it would be too late to regret it.

Jia's mother was very satisfied with this arrangement. In this way, I don't know how majestic the road will be.She hadn't experienced such a scene in decades.Now that I can feel such majesty again, I am naturally full of joy.

Chapter 441 Negotiation

After Jia Ke discussed with Jia's mother about the ritual ceremony at Qingxu Temple.He also turned his attention to Jia Baoyu.

Jia Baoyu is very happy now, with Qi Guan at home to accompany them, the two of them are in pairs, very good.Coupled with Qi Guan deliberately flattering Jia Baoyu, Jia Baoyu is now deeply infatuated with this actor who disguises himself as a woman.

This incident has already caused a commotion all over the capital, because everyone knows that the prince with jade in the Rongguo Mansion is infatuated with an actor.Even Jia Ke has heard people talking about it.

Although Jia Ke hated Jia Baoyu a little, but as an elder brother, he still had to bear some responsibilities. Now that Jia Baoyu is so ridiculous, if he doesn't say a few words, others will have something to say.

Jia Ke looked at Jia Baoyu and said, "I hired a gentleman for Qin Zhong at home. That gentleman is a learned man. He was recommended by the head of the Imperial Academy. Why don't you go to Marquis of Wuyang with Qin Zhong during this time?" Studying in the government, do you think it is good?"

As soon as Jia Baoyu listened to Jia Ke's question, he felt a big reluctance in his heart.He is now in the family school, just to deal with an errand.Every day is very free and easy, how can I follow Jia Ke's order and go to Wuyang Hou's mansion to study seriously.

Besides, even though he and Qi Guan'er are getting along very well now, Qin Zhong has not been forgotten.

Now Jia Baoyu has to go to the Marquis of Wuyang to meet Qin Zhong every now and then, although every time he meets Qin Zhong, there are always a few annoying and scary servants standing beside him, preventing him from getting close to Qin Zhong, but he has great respect for Qin Zhong. Qin Zhong's current situation can be regarded as understanding.

Every time I went to see Qin Zhong, his hands were beaten red.He had to keep writing there to cope with the husband's spot check the next day. Jia Baoyu felt distressed when he saw that hard work.

Because of this gentleman, Qin Zhong often complained to Jia Baoyu. Jia Baoyu had long been afraid of this gentleman he had never met, and he was not willing to give up his current happy life and suffer that crime.

But Jia's mother next to him became happy. You must know that this is a gentleman recommended by the head of the Imperial Academy. Staring at him did not let go.

Besides, with Jia Ke's current status, Jia Baoyu's status doesn't have to be too scruples.There is no need to taboo against the royal family as before, but raise Jia Baoyu in the wasteland.

"Then let Baoyu go. Anyway, Jia Dairu from the family school has no intention of running the school. It's better to let Baoyu learn more from Qin Zhong." Jia's mother agreed wholeheartedly on Jia Baoyu's behalf.

Jia Baoyu saw that something was wrong, if Jia Ke forced him to study every day, wouldn't it kill him?

"Old lady, I haven't recovered from my injury during this period. Going now may not only delay Qin Zhong's study, but also my own body will not be able to bear it." Jia Baoyu thought for a long time, and finally came up with a reason for himself.

Jia's mother just thought that Jia Baoyu could learn from a famous teacher, but she didn't expect Jia Baoyu's words to remind her that this Baoyu had just been injured and had not been cared for for a long time.If you go now, I'm afraid his body will really not be able to bear it.

So Jia's mother changed her tone and said: "Oh, I really forgot about this. Baoyu's body has just been beaten by his father, how can he stand the hard work of studying every day. I think it will take a while Let's go again."

Although Jia's mother said so, her eyes were full of deep disappointment. In the past, there was no way to raise Jia Baoyu in the wasteland. Now that the Jia family has risen, they want to give Jia Baoyu a chance.

Jia Baoyu, who was next to him, breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, cupped his hands and said to Jia Ke, "Brother, it's not that I don't want to go to study, it's just because my body is really unbearable. After a period of time, when I feel better, I will go to school with you." Qin Zhong is studying together, what do you think?"

Jia Ke's thoughts on Jia Baoyu can be said to be insightful. He looked Jia Baoyu up and down, and then said slowly: "Although the matter of studying is requested by adults, it is also related to your future. You should have it in your heart." The number. When your second brother studied hard every day when you were so old, even I admired him. Don't let him compare you."

As Jia Baoyu's elder brother, Jia Ke is also the pillar of the Rongguo Mansion, so he still wants to remind Jia Baoyu of some things.Otherwise, everyone will probably blame him in the future.

After Jia Baoyu listened to Jia Ke's lesson, he hurriedly said, "Don't worry, brother, I will recover from my injury in a while, and I will definitely go to school."

Jia Ke replied to him blankly, "Look, no matter how anxious others are about some things, it won't work. It depends on whether you have the heart."

After listening to Jia Ke's words, Jia Baoyu stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to do?

Seeing Jia Ke scolding Jia Baoyu, Wang Xifeng felt a little awkward, so she hurried out to smooth things over and said, "How do we go on the first day of the new year? How many cars do we need to take, and how many maids and wives are needed for each person?"

Jia's mother also saw Jia Baoyu's embarrassment now. Although she hated him for not being up to date, Jia Baoyu had been with her for so many years. , you and your sister-in-law each have to take one. The rest Daiyu and Baochai will take one, and Yingchun and her sisters will make one. Then prepare some ordinary vehicles for the little maids to sit on, otherwise they will be on the road It’s not good to let the neighbors see you while walking.”

Wang Xifeng replied with a smile, "It's still the old lady who is thoughtful. If we do this, we will definitely make mistakes in the end. Once the old lady gives such an order, we will have a solid foundation in our hearts."

While they were talking, Jia Baoyu quietly retreated to Lin Daiyu's side, and let out a long breath.

Lin Daiyu looked at her from the side, covered her mouth and said with a smile: "But someone cured you. Otherwise, you will not be able to go to heaven."

Seeing that Lin Daiyu made fun of him, Jia Baoyu hurriedly defended himself: "Those gentlemen are not teaching anything good, they just repeat those few sentences for you to read. I thought it would be the same if I learned it at home."

Xue Baochai, who was sitting next to them, glanced sideways at Jia Baoyu, then took out a handkerchief as if to wipe her mouth, but actually blocked her disdainful smile.

Now Xue Baochai completely despises Jia Baoyu, this Baoyu is simply the most incompetent in the world.With such a good condition, I don't know how to cherish it. I just hang out with my sisters every day, so what can I do in the future.But he has a little self-motivation, and his future fame will definitely not be small.

Then there is the Rongguo Mansion in the future. She thinks it will belong to Jia Zhu in the future. Jia Baoyu is so worthless, and the empress Lin Daiyu can only buy a small courtyard near the Rongguo Mansion like those offshoots. I've been a wimp for a lifetime.

After all, Jia Baoyu was not like Jia Ke, who had already been conferred at a young age, and had set aside such a large property, so naturally he was not indifferent to the little money from the Rongguo Mansion.

And Jia Baoyu is indeed incapable of running these economic careers, and in the end he can only barely survive on some of the family property that he has shared. If the old lady loves him, he may be able to share more of the old lady's private house, but the old lady agrees. According to the clan rules, Jia Pearl also has to take the first share.

Jia Tanchun, who was sitting opposite Jia Baoyu, saw Xue Baochai giggling there, and asked in front of everyone, "Sister Bao, what are you laughing at? Is there anything funny in this room?"

Xue Baochai changed his face all of a sudden, but immediately changed back to the original virtuous and dignified Xue Baochai, "I just saw Brother Bao and Sister Lin making love to each other, so I smiled. Sister Tanchun watched carefully. "

Although Jia Tanchun was born by Aunt Zhao, she has always been raised by Jia's mother.To be honest, she didn't have much affection for Aunt Zhao.

Instead, Jia Tanchun has been watching these servants since he was a child, intrigues for a little benefit.My heart has also become much richer than my peers.Therefore, she flattered Mrs. Wang to the utmost, just to make her life better in Rongguo Mansion.

Just now she saw Xue Baochai showing a disdainful smile at Jia Baoyu, and in order to please Mrs. Wang, she stabbed Xue Baochai out on the spot.
