The Young Master of the Jia Family in the Red Chamber

Jia Hu has been ignored by Shi Taijun all year round, and she is used to her turning a blind eye to the long house. If she occasionally looks a little nice to the long house, Jia Hu will subconsciously think that it is because she has seen some good things from the long house, and wants to let him know. The second room followed suit.Otherwise, in her eyes, there will always be only the second wife. Jia Hu never extravagantly seeks Shi Taijun's attention, and when she hears her question, she repeats it neither humble nor humble, "Yes, His Royal Highness rewarded his grandson. Handwritten blessing, grandson has already gone to the East Palace to thank you."

Shi Taijun's smile became more obvious, and he even asked someone to bring out a piece of high-quality ancient jade to reward Jia Hu, but she was thinking in her heart, why didn't Jia Zhu go to study with the little emperor's grandson, if she won the crown prince because of it If you are favored, then the future is boundless, what a pity the opportunity.

Jia Hu didn't care whether Shi Taijun was sincere to him or not, she rewarded him with things, and he then said, she wanted him to do something that would embarrass him, and he would not agree.Jia Hu came here halfway through, and has no natural sense of belonging to the Jia family. He respects his grandfather, obeys his parents, and loves Jia Lian.If Shi Taijun didn't treat him sincerely, he naturally wouldn't repay him sincerely, it was very fair.

Shi Taijun asked Jia Hu where he wanted to post the letter of blessing bestowed by the prince, and Jia Hu smiled and said, of course it would be posted in Rongxi Hall.After finishing speaking, he took out the word "Fu", let Shi Taijun and Wang look at it, and went back to Rongxi Hall with Zhang. He estimated that Jia She would be very happy to hear the news.

As Jia Hu expected, Jia Amnesty was overjoyed when he saw the word of blessing bestowed by the prince himself.He said that in the past few years, all the blessings received by the family were written by the emperor himself, and later the emperor did not write the blessings, but the crown prince received them.But after Jia Daishan left, the family could only receive letters written by ordinary princes for several years. Shi Taijun was not happy, and said several times that he was useless.Jia Amnesty thought in his heart that he was useless, but didn't Jia Zheng always think that he was very useful, just like him.With the word filial piety at the forefront, Jia Amnesty only dared to think about it in his heart, never dared to say it out loud.

This time, Jia Hu saved face for Jia She again, but he made Jia She happy. He drank a few more glasses of wine in the evening, danced and said a lot, and gave Jia Hu a lot of things from his private room.Jia Hu smiled sullenly and accepted it. Seeing that Jia Lian wanted something new that he liked, Jia Hu asked him to pick it first, and then took the rest back to his room.Jia Amnesty sobered up the next day and didn't remember what he had done at all. He only found that the good things were missing a lot. Later, he remembered that they were given to his precious son, so he didn't say much, and went to show off in front of Jia Zheng.

Jia Zheng learned from the Wang family last night that the crown prince had blessed Jia Hu, and he was very upset.Why Jia Amnesty's son could do it, but his son couldn't. The more Jia Zheng thought about it, the more angry he became, and he scolded Jia Zhu again.Seeing that Jia Hu was rewarded by the prince, Jia Zhu was already in a bad mood. She was still in the wind for so long yesterday, and was reprimanded severely by Jia Zheng in the evening.It was also because Jia Zhu had a bad temper, and if he felt uncomfortable, he should call someone, but he refused, and stayed alone for most of the night.

At daybreak, Jia Zhu's nanny saw that he didn't get up on time, so she went to call him, only to find that he had passed out from fever.The nanny was frightened, and hurriedly asked the little girl to inform Wang that the uncle was served by them, and they didn't even know he had a fever in the middle of the night, which is terrible.

When Mrs. Wang came and saw it, she was terrified, and finally calmed down and hurriedly sent for a doctor.When Shi Taijun heard that her beloved grandson was ill, she came over soon. When she saw that Mrs. Wang wanted to invite a doctor, she immediately said that the medical skills of ordinary doctors were not good enough, so she had to hire an imperial doctor.

Mrs. Wang looked at Shi Taijun with some embarrassment. With Jia Zheng's status, she had to get Jia Amnesty's name card to hire an imperial doctor, so she was too embarrassed to go.Shi Taijun glared at Mrs. Wang, and sent someone to call Mrs. Zhang. She and Jia She were Jia Zhu's uncle and aunt, and it was not right for them to help when their nephew was ill.Mrs. Zhang is a well-educated and reasonable person, and when she heard that Jia Zhu was ill, she would not make things difficult for others, so she immediately sent for an imperial physician, and specifically said that it would be best to invite someone who is good at small prescriptions.Seeing this, Jia Hu sighed. For the first time, Jia Zhu was seriously ill again.

The imperial physician came quickly, and it was the Zong imperial physician who had seen Jia Zhu back then.Physician Zong took Jia Zhu's pulse and asked, didn't he say at the beginning that it is necessary to take good care of your health and not waste it too much, otherwise the root cause of the disease will be troublesome at a young age, why no one listens.

When Shi Taijun and Wang heard this, they were so shocked that they almost fainted. What does the imperial doctor mean? It means that Jia Zhu is no longer successful.Mrs. Wang couldn't care about anything else, so she knelt down to Physician Zong and begged him to save her son. She had only one son, so she couldn't lose it.

Physician Zong shook his head and asked Wang to get up quickly. He said that Jia Zhu's foundation is not good and should be taken care of carefully, but he has been working too hard. Yesterday he was caught in the wind and his thoughts were depressed, so he started to burn.If it had been discovered earlier, it would not have been so serious, but it has been delayed for several hours. Although it has not been delayed to the point where it cannot be cured, the root cause of the disease will be more or less lost. You must be careful in the future. Luo Jinxian couldn't be rescued either.Mrs. Wang nodded again and again, expressing that she must follow the doctor's advice and would never dare to commit the crime again.

Seeing Wang's sincerity, Physician Zong wrote the prescription with a pen and explained how to make the medicine, and then he took the medicine boy to leave.Mrs. Zhang had been prepared for a long time, and ordered someone to offer a thank you gift. Physician Zong only said that they were too polite, and that Jia Zhu was taking medicine first, and he would come back for a follow-up visit after a ten-day period.

After Imperial Physician Zong left, Mrs. Zhang didn't stay, and went back to Rongxi Hall by herself. She had done everything she could do, so she wouldn't stay and make trouble.After Mrs. Zhang left, Mrs. Wang ordered people to decoct the medicine, and at the same time beat all the people around Jia Zhu, and fined everyone a month's silver.

Jia Zhu's nanny yelled loudly, saying that after the uncle went to school, she retired to the second line and had no close service. The people in front of Jia Zhu were all the maids carefully selected by Wang. I don't know if the uncle has a fever, they should be punished if they want to be punished.

Jia Zhu's maids were also very wronged, not because they didn't take good care of the uncle, but because Jia Zhu didn't like people sleeping on the footsteps, so they only let them sleep on the outer couch. People, they thought he was in a deep sleep, so they didn't dare to disturb him.

Mrs. Wang was already in a fit of anger, but seeing Jia Zhu's nanny and maid shirking each other's responsibilities, she became even more angry. In a fit of rage, she kicked everyone out, out of sight and out of mind.Shi Taijun understood Wang's feelings, but felt that she could not adjust and teach others, so he gave Jia Zhu the two capable maids around him to take care of his daily life.After a while, Wang's anger calmed down, and she quickly thanked Shi Taijun, saying that she was so angry that she drove everyone away unexpectedly, and there was no suitable replacement for her at the moment, but luckily Shi Taijun gave it to someone.

Jia Zhu got better after drinking the medicine, but she was still groggy and didn't wake up.Shi Taijun was getting old and couldn't stand tiredness, so when he saw that Jia Zhu was getting better, he went back to his yard, and asked someone from the Wang family to send someone to tell her that Jia Zheng was back, and told him to go see her right away.

Only then did Wang realize that Jia Zhu was so ill that Jia Zheng, who was the chief culprit, had never appeared before, and his face flushed with anger.Fortunately, Shi Taijun expressed his position and wanted to call Jia Zheng to talk about it. It seems that Jia Zhu's life will be easier in the future.

At lunch time, Jia Zheng went out to relax and returned home, only to feel that the atmosphere at home was oppressive. After asking, he found out that Jia Zhu was seriously ill, and the imperial doctor couldn't tell.Jia Zheng had only one son, Jia Zhu. Although he hoped that his son would become a dragon, he was not uneasy. Just as he wanted to see his son, Wang told him that Shi Taijun was going to see him soon, so Jia Zheng hurried over.Shi Taijun nagged Jia Zheng for a long time. The implication was that Jia Zhu should not be forced too hard. If something really happened, it would be too late to regret it. No matter how much she hoped for her children and grandchildren, she would not die. Force him.

Jia Zheng was ashamed and ashamed by Shi Taijun's words, but he nodded in agreement, and he would treat Jia Zhu more gently in the future.Jia Zheng was terrified after hearing what Physician Zong said. Jia Zhu is considered a very good child, but if something really happened, where would he cry?

Coming out of Shi Taijun's courtyard, Jia Zheng planned to go to see Jia Zhu, but suddenly someone came to report, and someone from the palace came to pass the decree.

Jia Zheng suddenly panicked. In their family, although Jia She was the one who took over the title, he had no official position and never had to go to court. Instead, he worked in the Ministry of Industry.During the New Year's Eve, who would the imperial decree be issued to? Jia Zheng went back to his room to change while pondering, while Wang was also packing up.

The preparations for receiving the decree were all made by Zhang's order. The incense table was set up, and the angel came in to announce the decree. Everyone in Jia's family knelt down to receive the decree, and everyone felt a little uneasy, especially Shi Taijun, whose hands were a little trembling.It turned out to be a good thing, Xuan Jia pardoned the family of four to go to the palace for a banquet on New Year's Eve.

Except for Mrs. Wang, there is no one present who has not been to the New Year's Eve banquet in the palace.Jia Daishan was the emperor's most trusted confidant at the beginning, and he brought his wife and children to the palace for banquets every year.And Mrs. Zhang is Zhang Shoufu's only daughter, so naturally she also entered the palace with Mrs. Zhang, and was rewarded by the queen.

After Jia Daishan left, the Jia family kept filial piety for three years, so naturally they were not allowed to enter the palace.But even if they were filial, they might not be able to enter the palace, because last year's New Year's Eve banquet, Jia Jing, who had already filial piety in the East Mansion, did not receive the order.Jia Amnesty was not as good as Jia Jing, and it was normal not to be able to attend the banquet, but the imperial decree came down, no wonder Jia Zheng and Wang looked envious.They guessed that it was probably because of Jia Hu's embarrassment in front of the prince. Jia Zheng's dissatisfaction with Jia Zhu immediately rose again, while Wang's gritted his teeth secretly.

Mrs. Zhang ordered someone to offer a bounty to the angel. The angel accepted it with a smile, said a few more things to pay attention to, and returned to the palace to return to his command.

When Jia Amnesty learned that the imperial decree was for him, he was so happy that he couldn't find the north, and he didn't even notice that Shi Taijun's face turned darker.

Shi Taijun is also good at taking advantage of loopholes. When the angel left, she actually told Mrs. Zhang that the imperial decree said that their family of four would enter the palace, but Jia Lian was too young to do anything there. It is inconvenient to take care of the children, so it is better to leave Jia Lian at home and bring Yuan Chun into the palace to see him.In fact, if Jia Zhu was not ill and unable to get up, Shi Taijun hoped that Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Zhang would take him to the banquet.

Mrs. Zhang didn't wait for Shi Taijun to finish her sentence, her face changed, and she refused: "Old lady, the sage said, it is to announce that our family of four will enter the palace, and my daughter-in-law dare not commit the crime of deceiving the king." Zhang's partiality towards Shi Taijun , I was speechless.If their family has always been brothers and sisters, the old lady will definitely accept such words. Jia Lian is not yet three years old, and it is really inconvenient to bring him into the palace. It is not a big deal to bring his nephew and niece instead. Jun's height, but when these words came out of Shi Taijun's mouth, Mrs. Zhang felt uncomfortable after hearing this.

Jia Daishan didn't care about family affairs, and Shi Taijun had been the only one in the inner house for half his life. Suddenly, he was pushed back by his daughter-in-law, and he was so angry that he almost carried his back.But Mrs. Zhang's reason was too good, no matter how angry Shi Taijun was, he couldn't say a word of rebuttal, so he could only hold it in his heart.

On New Year's Eve, Jia Amnesty changed into the court clothes that were pressed at the bottom of the suitcase, and Mrs. Zhang put on a lot of make-up, tidied up her two sons beamingly, and the family of four sat in sedan chairs and went to the palace for the banquet.Jia Hu is very dissatisfied with her attire. Jia Lian is less than three years old, so it doesn't matter if he dresses up like a fuwa. He will be ten years old after his age. How can he still be so childish? But Mrs. Zhang insisted, Jia Hu couldn't hold back her , had to admit defeat.

Jia Hu originally thought that the palace banquet should be held in two places, and men and women should be separated.Unexpectedly, after entering the palace, they found out that there were actually three places set up this year. The emperor and the crown prince entertained the officials in the main hall, the empress received the imperial orders in the back hall, and the nine princes and the eldest grandson hosted a small banquet in the side hall to greet the children of each family.

So, the family parted ways, Jia Amnesty went to the front hall, Zhang took Jia Lian to the back hall, and Jia Hu went to the side hall.

"Xiaomin Jia Hu has met the Ninth Prince, the Eleventh Prince, the Twelfth Prince, and the Eldest Prince, and greets you all." Jia Hu found out that there were actually very few people here when he arrived at the side hall. There are four masters, and there are no more than twenty young guests at the banquet. They are generally between the ages of ten and 14. If you want to say what these people have in common, it is their grandfather or father, each with a higher official position than the other. .

"Excuse me." Situ Jing smiled slightly when he saw Jia Hu, "Jia Hu, come and talk." Beside him were Su Yi and Jian Ming.

Jia Hu looked around, but he didn't see Han Qi, so he told him in a low voice that the emperor didn't invite Uncle Jin Xiang, so Han Qi couldn't come.It was only then that Jia Hu realized that his father was able to receive the imperial edict because Situ Jing entrusted the crown prince. If Jia Amnesty could not come, he would not be able to come either.

Jia Hu asked Jian Ming again, why they held a banquet alone, and Jian Jian said that this was what the Ninth Prince meant, saying that they followed the elders, it was very boring, if they went to the apse, they would be judged by others, wouldn't it be easy to hold a banquet by themselves Freedom, Situ Jing also agreed, so he helped to speak.

As the old saying goes, the youngest son and the eldest grandson are the lifeblood of the old lady.In fact, it is also true to replace the old lady with an old man.Apart from Situ Yan, the emperor's favorite son was Situ Lv. He acted like a baby with Situ Jing, and the emperor had no reason not to agree.

Thanks to Situ Lv's wit, Jia Hu had to admit that their life in the side hall was much easier than those of the ministers in the main hall.

Even if they are different from princes and grandsons, they are people who study and get along with each other day and night after all, so they won't make people nervous like the emperor and prince.Jia Hu was convinced that Jia She would definitely not know what to eat in the main hall outside, it was not as good as eating in the side hall.

Of course, Jia Hu and the others didn't hide from Qingjing all the time. When it was time to go to the main hall to kowtow to pay their respects, they still had to go.The age of Situ Lv and the twins was among the princes, and they greeted the emperor after the seventh prince Situ Zheng.Situ Jing was the oldest among the emperor's grandsons, so he naturally led a group of little radish heads to the stage.As for Jia Hu and the others who have no official status and no titles, they will be at the end of the line.

After the kowtow was over, everyone returned to the side hall and greeted Situ Lv and the others formally, and the luncheon just started.What Jia Hu didn't expect was that such a group of children hosted a banquet, and they would also serve wine.But the others are fine, Situ Jing's body should not be able to drink, Jia Hu secretly worried.But when the wine was brought to the table, most of Jia Hu's worries disappeared, he just said, how could the emperor and the prince rest assured that they drank, it turned out that the wine served was so light that it had almost no taste.

Situ Lv and Situ Jing wanted to be lively, so the side hall was not like the main hall outside, where the two of them sat together and sat separately. Instead, a large round table was set up, with twenty or so people sitting around it, which looked like a New Year's atmosphere.Situ Lv is the direct prince, with the highest status and seniority, occupying the main seat. Situ Jing sits on his left, the eleventh and twelve princes sit on his right, and Jia Hu is pulled by Situ Jing to sit beside him. .

Jia Hu had read it in novels before, that the ancients would sing poems and songs when they drank and dined, but because of his age, he hadn't seen it in person, but today in the palace, it was the first time he encountered it.Just as Situ Lv said that drinking too much is boring and everyone needs to sing a poem, Jia Hu's scalp began to tingle.It may be because of the different education methods he received since he was a child. Jia Hu learned other things very quickly, that is, stereotyped essays, and now he can write decently. inclination.

If he was asked to improvise, Jia Hu would have to obediently be punished for drinking. He couldn't figure out how those people could compose poems without thinking when rhymes were restricted, and sing songs, just like modern people Singing popular songs is not the same thing, there is no song for you, only the name of the lyrics, you have to fill in the words yourself, and then you can start singing. After listening to these rules, Jia Hu's head was completely dizzy.

The singing and singing also started with Situ Lv, then Situ Jing, and then the Eleventh Prince.Although Jia Hu himself is not good at composing, he still has a basic level of appreciation. Although the styles of Situ Lv and Situ Jing's poems are very different, they are evenly matched, but one is beautiful and graceful, and the other is elegant and free and easy. I really can't say which one is better. a little better.The only thing that surprised Jia Hu was the poetry style of Situ Lu and Situ Jing, which was the opposite of their own impression on Jia Hu, but the contrast was cute, which was really surprising.

Compared with Situ Lu and Situ Jing, the level of the eleventh prince's poetry writing is lower, but it can be said to be quite satisfactory.On the other hand, the Twelfth Prince refused to speak even if he was beaten to death. Situ Lv had no choice but to punish him according to the rules, including six glasses of wine.Only then did Jia Hu understand that the three cups mentioned earlier were counted separately. If he could not compose a poem, he would be fined three cups, and if he could not sing a song, he would be fined another three cups.The twelfth prince also obeyed the rules, obediently picked up the wine glass and accepted the punishment. The eleventh prince was afraid that he would get drunk, so he helped him drink half of it, three glasses for each person, and it was a case of uncovering the matter.

After the performances of the princes and grandchildren, it was the turn of the children of these aristocratic families. Some of them were accompanying readers, some were not, but whether they were or not, the poetry and singing were of a certain standard.It was the conciseness that Jia Hu was used to all along, and he did it in a decent manner, with a bold style, Jia Hu suddenly became depressed.Out of so many people, he is the only one who doesn't know how to do it. Fortunately, he usually sees Jian Jian and always has a headache because of his homework, and he thinks he is a difficult brother. However, his level is far behind him, and Jia Hu feels deep malice .
