The Second Master of the Red Chamber

It's a pity that after another whole month, Tuanzi was not so lucky to meet his father, but he also learned more about the reality of the current situation.

My mother, Mrs. Zhang, heard this from the nanny's mouth. She is the daughter of a scholar in charge of the Hanlin Academy and belongs to Qingliu, but his cheap father is the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion and belongs to Xungui.And in this family, apart from the mother, whether it is the grandmother or the second aunt, they are all honorable families. Although they get along with each other, although they are barely harmonious, there are constant frictions.From the fact that my mother has not been in good health after giving birth to me, it can be seen that life is not easy.

As for the cheap father, although he is the eldest son, he grew up with the old lady, that is, the grandmother. He only loves gold, jade and antiques. It is not the same.Even the treatment with him is not good, the nanny has emphasized this point countless times, "Brother Hu and brother, as the eldest son and grandson, are not as favored as the eldest daughter Zhu Geer born by the second grandmother, and I don't know that Mrs. It’s about how partial you are.”

Early in the morning, he was tossed about by his nanny, and in a daze, he had already been dressed in a colorful appearance. For a dumpling, such a dress is really ridiculous, but in this era In the eyes of many wives, this white and tender bun wrapped in red cloth is festive and pleasing to the eye.

"My brother is really handsome."

"Yes, such a handsome child is really rare."

The evaluated Tuanzi would not be so triumphant and ecstatic after being praised with such a few good words. Although he is small, his eyes are very good, and he clearly saw when these ladies were praising him, All eyes were on the two ladies in the hall.Those two have round faces and look very friendly, sitting in the middle, and the other oval face is slightly to the right, and they look quite similar to their own mothers.Of these two, the former is Tuanzi's grandmother, Shi Shi, and the latter is her maternal grandmother, Jiang Shi.

Tuanzi is now lying in his mother's arms, and it feels pretty good, and his grandmother, looking very reliable, also made his little heart that had been beating non-stop before shrink back into his chest, obediently Lying down, of course, it would have been better if his fat brother wasn't so interested in his face.

After a little struggle, he was quickly discovered, "Brother Hu, don't pinch your face casually, this is a younger brother, not a plaything." As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly turned cold.

Tuanzi tried his best to open his eyes wide and looked over. A beautiful woman in colorful embroidery was smiling, but there was a knife in that smile. , "Brother Hu loves my younger brother, that's why he wants to play with him."

"Sister-in-law is right." When Tuanzi heard this, it turned out that this was her second aunt Wang, but even though she agreed, she still clearly showed that she didn't care.

Tuanzi can also be angry, he opened his mouth hard, tried several times, and finally pronounced the word "Mother", which made Tuanzi very satisfied. He has been practicing for a while, but today is the first time. One time success.

The nanny was naturally the first to react, "My brother can talk now, my brother is really smart." The surrounding immediately became enthusiastic again, even the grandmother and grandmother,

Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but say, "My good boy, call again."

The dumpling is very face-saving, "Mother!" By the way, he stretched out his little hand and pointed to his brother beside him.

The nanny heard the string song and knew the elegance, so she took the initiative to tease and said, "Brother is saying that Brother Hu taught him how to speak!"

The fat brother over there immediately raised his small chest high, looking extremely proud, Shi Shi took the initiative to wave to Brother Hu, and said lovingly, "Brother Hu, it was you who taught me Did your brother speak?"

The little fat man nodded, "I've only taught it a few times. My brother didn't learn it at first, so I didn't expect to be able to talk about it today."

Naturally, some people around flattered and said, "Brother Hu really loves my younger brother, and even knows how to teach my younger brother how to speak!"

"Brother is also very smart, and he can speak in just over three months."

"The grandson of Rongguo Mansion is naturally extraordinary, how can ordinary children be able to reach it!"

Jiang looked at her eldest grandson, and then at her younger grandson, and couldn't help being proud of her good genes, otherwise she wouldn't have given birth to such a good child.

Mrs. Wang, who was looking for trouble over there, almost tore the handkerchief in her hand with hatred, and her eyes were about to get angry when she saw it. It was still a woman next to her who hurriedly whispered something in her ear. It got better.

Tuanzi's mood is not good now, he feels that there seems to be something wrong with his ears, why did he hear the word 'Rongguo Mansion', he doesn't know much about these three words, but the only understanding he has comes from In a copy of "Dream of Red Mansions" written by Cao Gong.

Impossible, he comforted himself, in "Dream of Red Mansions", Jia She's woman's surname is Xing, and his mother's surname is Zhang, this is definitely impossible.Thinking of this, he quickly breathed a sigh of relief, but unfortunately, the truth is a process of development, and the truth is often the one you least dare to believe.

"The master said to take my brother to the front!" A charming maid came over and said.

"Go, go." As soon as Shi Shi said, the nanny immediately went out with the dumpling in her arms, crossed the screen, and entered another room, which was full of men.

"What happened just now, and you talked so loudly?" Grandfather actually already knew what was going on, but he hoped that the nanny would repeat it, so as to show off.The nanny also had a sharp stutter, so she carefully recounted what she had just said, emphasizing that Brother Hu taught his younger brother how to speak.

"The children of the Jia family are indeed extraordinary." "Duke Rong has someone to succeed him!" "Enhou has a good son." ...

In Tuanzi's head, there is only one name left, 'Enhou, Jia Enhou', grandfather is Rong Guogong, father is Jia She, as expected, soon he has a new name that he can't avoid, " Hulian, the eldest son's name is Hu, and the second son's name is Quanlian." He was officially promoted to Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng's husband, and the future housekeeper of Jia's mansion.

As for those compliments such as "he will be a man who governs the country in the future", he couldn't listen to them at all. Sensing Jia She's gaze, he recovered in time, smiled and shouted, "Father..."

One word immediately brought a smile to the dissatisfied face, "Meet your grandfather and two uncles soon."

Grandpa is a thin literati who looks quite strong.The two uncles are not very similar in appearance. The eldest uncle Zhang Qing is deeply influenced by his grandfather, and he also has a cold face, which seems to be carved out of the same mold.The second uncle, Zhang Che, looked more handsome, even more handsome than Jia She, who had a pair of peach blossom eyes.When he saw Jia Lian, he immediately reached out and hugged him into his arms, pinched his nose unceremoniously, and said with a smile, "Well, my nephew is really good-looking."

Although Jia Lian Tuanzi thought that this uncle was very discerning in his heart, he couldn't help complaining, he was still a Tuanzi, well, how can he tell that he looks good, but he has seen all the relatives who are related by blood. After looking at the looks of family and relatives, I still have some expectations for my future appearance.Although, standing in such a sad situation, no matter how good-looking she is, it is not very useful.

The child who has just turned [-] days still needs to live a more delicate life. After only staying outside for a while, he was carried back to the room by the nanny, and then fell asleep.

When he opened his eyes again, he found that the cheap father and the beautiful mother were all around him, and he was a little surprised. Maybe the surprised expression on Tuanzi's face was so joyful, and the mother was very rude. She smiled, "Brother Lian, is this happy to see your mother?"

Jia Amnesty is still excited, today he can be regarded as a sigh of relief, he gave his second brother and that Wang a good-looking woman who dared to say that his son is not good, that woman who knows how to sow discord, "Our brother Lian Of course, my son is the smartest and cutest." He very bluntly praised his son as a flower.

"Master, don't praise him like that, lest he lose weight at such a young age." Zhang said on the initiative.

Jia Amnesty was still a little unwilling to give up, "My son is naturally the best, he must be much better than Zhu Geer and Yuan Chun, my wife is partial, and she didn't bring Hu Geer and Lian Geer I don't know where my heart is going to raise a pair of children in the second room."

"Master, be careful." Mrs. Zhang still cares about the rules, not to mention, if what they said here is known by the master and wife, it will be even more troublesome.

Jia Amnesty also understood his wife's worries, although he was not very happy, he changed the subject and started talking about his younger brother, "The second brother only knows how to please the master and wife every day, and said that he likes to read books the most, but in the end, he has been studying for more than 20 years. I haven’t seen him pass the examination as a scholar.” He contacted his Yue’s family again, “Both my elder uncle and my second uncle have been in office for many years.”

Mrs. Zhang felt a little helpless in her heart, thinking that Jia Amnesty was not as good as Jia Zheng, and she didn't even have a comment that she likes to study. Mrs. Wang dared to provoke her every day, because she saw that the second master was more favored than the uncle, and felt that The second master is more promising, thinking of this in his heart, it also brings out some meanings that Wang's disrespect for him.

Jia Amnesty was even more dissatisfied, "That ignorant woman, who can't even read a few words, dares to disrespect you!" Of course, he just had a taste of mouth, if he really wants to do something, Jia Daishan and Shi Shi Individuals are the first to tolerate him.

Jia Lian Tuanzi came to a conclusion during their conversation: the relationship between parents is not good, but when it comes to facing their second uncle and aunt, they can still fight against each other.
