The Young Master of the Jia Family in the Red Chamber

Situ Jing knew that Jia Hu was not good at reciting poems and composing Fu. He was speechless after reading the two poems Jia Hu had written before.

But the lively New Year's Eve luncheon, how can there be no poems and songs to add to the fun, Situ Jing did Jia Hu a small favor and ranked him last.Situ Jing thought with all his heart that with so many people in front, one by one, he would be able to write a five-character poem when it was time for Jia Hu. into his hands.From Situ Jing's point of view, Jia Hu would definitely be able to pass the test after he had helped to such an extent, and it was impossible for him to be fined for drinking because he couldn't do it like the Twelve Princes.

What Situ Jing didn't know was that when Jia Hu wrote poetry, he had to make a rough draft, and then dig out word by word until it met the requirements.

Let him go through it in his head, and he has to write the poem. No matter how long the time is, it is useless. Besides, there are so many people singing poems and singing songs, and the side hall is always noisy. It is strange that Jia Hu can calm down. After stuttering and reading a sentence and a half, I got stuck.Among the companions of many princes and grandchildren, Jia Hu has always been more in the limelight. Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince regards him differently, and others naturally love to watch him liven up.

If Jia Hu's poems are well written, it will definitely be full of applause, but if he can't write them well, he will only be greeted with booing.

Immediately, some people began to yell, "Fine wine, fine wine, Jia Hu fine wine." At this time, Jia Hu was still holding the note Situ Jing gave him, if his poems were written smoothly, others would not be so closely watching him , he could sneak a few glances at her.Now that he has become the focus of the audience, naturally he can't cheat, he can only accept the punishment obediently.What's even more unfortunate is that the twelfth prince is a prince, and the eleventh prince said he wanted to help him drink. Others dare not have any objections, even Situ Lv didn't say no, but Jia Hu didn't have such a good life, so he had to do it all by himself. drink.

Jia Hu's drinking capacity in his previous life was so-so, he could drink half a catty of baijiu, half a glass of beer, and a mixture of white beer could last two glasses.But his current body has never touched a drop of wine since he was born. No matter how low the alcohol content is, if he drank six glasses in one go, Jia Hu still felt that the world was shaking.Fortunately, everyone was already full of wine and food, Situ Lv took the lead and took a group of people to visit the Imperial Garden.Situ Jing didn't want to go, so he asked someone to help Jia Hu, who couldn't stand still, to the back hall of the side hall to rest, while he and Su Yi played chess outside.

After all, it was a low-alcohol fruit wine with a low alcohol content. Jia Hu woke up after a short nap and felt refreshed, without any dizziness and head-swelling sequelae of drunkenness.But Jia Hu was a little suspicious, whether there was something wrong with his eyesight, why did he see Situ Jing sitting in front of his bed, with an obvious blush on his face.Jia Hu looked down, only to find that his hand was actually holding Situ Jing's hand in it, he was startled, and quickly let go.Apart from shaking hands, he didn't do anything rude to Situ Jing, right? Jia Hu was worried.

In the previous life, Jia Hu had a little habit that was not humane, that is, he had to hug things when sleeping, and he couldn't fall asleep without hugging.Their family has laughed at him many times, saying that he looks like a girl doll, but after all, Jia Hu’s former parents, grandparents, and grandparents bought double copies every time they bought a doll. One for him and one for my sister.When he arrived at Jia's mansion, Jia Hu kept this habit. Ever since he could speak, he pestered the maids around him and made several plush dolls with different shapes.

Jia Hu was very worried, he just regarded Situ Jing as one of his dolls, if that was the case, Jia Hu almost wanted to die.He quietly raised his head, glanced at Situ Jing, and found that his expression was quite normal, not as angry as he was.

Seeing that Jia Hu woke up, Situ Jing let go of his hand suddenly, the expression on his face didn't change, he just asked him if he was dizzy or not, and if he wanted to go for a walk, there was still a while before leaving the palace.Jia Hu nodded hastily. Ever since he entered the palace, he wanted to find a chance to be alone with Situ Jing. He wanted to tell him something, but there were so many people that he couldn't speak.Jian Ming and Su Yi were playing chess in the outside room. Seeing Situ Jing and Jia Hu walking outside, he asked, "Your Highness, are you not coming to play chess?" He couldn't play against Su Yi.

Situ Jing waved his hand and asked Jian Ming to go out with Su Yi, and he and Jia Hu went out for a stroll.Jian Ming looked puzzled, what does His Highness mean by this, he and Su Yi were obviously playing chess, halfway through the game he said to go in and watch Jia Hu, and asked him to help him play, but he never came back after he left, he even lost two games in a row, could it be Are you going to lose the third set?Su Yi tugged Jian Jian's sleeves, signaling him not to talk too much, and the two continued to play chess.

Walking to an empty and deserted place, Situ Jing asked the little eunuch behind him to take a few steps back, to a position where he could not hear them clearly, and asked in a low voice, "Jia Hu, do you have something to tell me?" It is because there are too many people in the palace who are hostile to him. Situ Jing has always been very sensitive to people and things. Besides, Jia Hu is not the kind of person who has a lot of thoughts, so as soon as he enters the palace, he can see that Jia Hu Hu has something to say to herself.

Hearing Situ Jing's question at first, Jia Hu was stunned. He felt that the longer he had been in contact with Situ Jing, the less he could understand him.

In some respects, Situ Jing is like a child who is overprotected by his elders, which is worrying naively, but in other respects, he has an innate sensitivity to threats from the outside world, so that Jia Hu doesn't even know what to do. How to describe him.But for a child who grew up in the palace, it is always a good thing to have more eyes. Jia Hu stopped thinking about it when he couldn't figure it out, and said softly: "Xiao Min does have something to say, if it is inappropriate, I hope His Highness forgive me."

Seeing Jia Hu's extraordinarily serious expression, Situ Jing's expression also became more serious. He nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice, "You mean what you say, and I'm wrong. I don't blame you." His eyes were clear and bright , When talking, it seems that there are stars twinkling, which makes people unable to move their eyes.

"May I ask His Royal Highness, is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Seventh Prince on good terms?" Jia Hu thought about it for several days at home. With his current status, without the help of Situ Jing and even Situ Yan, it was impossible to find out the inside story of the Eastern Palace. impossible.If it was said that before, Jia Hu took refuge in the prince because he wanted to avoid the family's risk of standing in line as much as possible, but after getting along for more than half a year, Jia Hu's thinking changed a little, and he wanted to do more.

Compared with the emperor who became a monk halfway, the prince received a much more systematic education since he was a child. The emperor was afraid that others would spoil his son, so he appointed many teachers for him. There were not only famous Confucian scholars, but also elites from all walks of life, even Western Come missionaries.The emperor thought very simply, the prince will rule the world in the future, he doesn't have to know everything by himself, but he can't be completely ignorant, otherwise he will be deceived in the future.

The emperor may have no intention of doing so, but his diversified education made Situ Yan one of the few people in this era who knew something about Western learning. It was only after Jia Hu saw this that he strengthened his mind.If the prince's poor health is really caused by human factors, he must help him. Standing at the turning point of history, it is too obvious that a less closed emperor can play a role in future generations.

Situ Jing didn't expect Jia Hu to ask such a question, so he couldn't help being stunned, Fang replied: "Yes, Yin Meiren was the emperor's grandmother's dowry maid in the early years, she was brought into the palace from the Su family. After the emperor's grandmother passed away, she She once helped the royal grandfather take care of her father, and her father has always respected her very much."

It's okay if Situ Jing doesn't say it. As soon as he explained this, Jia Hu was very sure of his doubts.Yoon Mi-in has issues, absolutely.

Before time-traveling, Jia Hu loved to read online novels, and so did his sister, but the two were a little different, and their favorite books hardly overlapped.Jia Hu likes to watch upgrades and fight monsters, and my sister likes to watch Gongdou and Zhaidou. Both of them expressed disgust for each other's preferences, and found it unreasonable.

Once, Jia Hu's sister recommended a novel to him, saying that he might like it, so Jia Hu tried to read it.It was the only Gong Dou Wen that Jia Hu had read, and it is still fresh in his memory, especially Yin Meiren's means of ascending to power, which is exactly the same as that of Ling Fei in the text.

Jia Hu clearly remembered that the beginning of the novel was like this: The concubine Ling turned out to be the maid of Empress Xiaoxian. Later, in her name, she hooked up with Emperor Qianlong and became his favorite concubine, and the one who finally became the heir to the throne was the fifteenth prince born to Concubine Ling.Of course, this is just the prelude to that novel. The focus is on the process of Empress Xiaoxian’s son Yong Lian being reborn and taking revenge, strengthening the country and enriching the people. After reading it, Jia Hu felt that it was not bad.

Situ Yan's luck was better than Yong Lian's. He didn't die before Empress Su, but Yin Meiren hooked up with the emperor through him.In an instant, Jia Hu's mind had already completed a complete story of the palace fight, and the ones who had the last laugh were Yin Meiren and the Seventh Prince.

Seeing Jia Hu's strange expression, Situ Jing didn't say a word, so he added: "When my father was young, there was a concubine of the imperial grandfather who wanted to kill him, and it was Yin Meiren who saved him twice. Later, Yin Meiren Having given birth to the Seventh Emperor Uncle, the father and king have always been very kind to their mother and son."

It turns out that there is a life-saving grace in it, no wonder Yin Meiren can gain the trust of the prince, but in this way, it becomes easier for her to attack, because no one will doubt her.Without further ado, Jia Hu leaned close to Situ Jing's ear and whispered, "I think there is something wrong with Miss Yin."

"What's wrong with her? How did you find out?" Jia Hu's words were astonishing, Situ Jing not only did not reprimand him, but instead asked, it can be seen that he did not trust Yin Meiren and the seventh prince as much as the crown prince.The stone in Jia Hu's heart fell half because of this. Anyway, Situ Jing is vigilant. If he doesn't believe him, calls him nonsense, or even kicks him out of the palace, he doesn't have the energy to play with death to remonstrate, or just forget it. However, if the crown prince is really killed by Yin Meiren, it can only be said that it is the destiny, which cannot be changed by manpower.

Jia Hu pondered: "That day I went to the Eastern Palace to thank you. We were so close together that we didn't know the news that the crown prince was ill. We only found out when we arrived. Yin Meiren was in the harem, so she sent someone to visit her. What's weird, I just don't think it's right."

Situ Jing waited for a while, and when he saw that Jia Hu had nothing to say, he urged: "What else? What else?" Situ Jing has always disliked Situ Zheng, even everyone in the palace said that the Seventh Prince is the most respectful and virtuous corporal , but Situ Jing still doesn't like him.He always felt that it was impossible for a person to please everyone while he was alive, but Situ Zheng was such a person, who could make so many people say good things about him inadvertently, this person was too scary.Situ Jing hated Situ Zheng far more than Situ Che, Situ Ye, and Situ Lv.

But every time he mentioned this matter in front of Situ Yan, Situ Yan didn't believe it. He said that among the older princes, Situ Zheng had the lowest background, and his biological mother was just a beauty promoted by a court lady. He had nothing. How could he be like Situ Yan? Like Che and others, he has no right to be proud.

Situ Jing really wanted to find out what was wrong with Situ Zheng, but he never found it. After several failures, Situ Yan told him not to do useless work.Situ Jing was not reconciled, but he didn't know what he could do. At this moment, Jia Hu stepped forward, still on his side.

But Jia Hu shook his head and said: "I know this, nothing else." Is this not enough? At least one thing must be explained, either Yin Meiren has someone in the East Palace, or she has done something to the prince. Otherwise, the prince suddenly fell ill, how could she know so quickly.

Situ Jing disappointed and said: "I see, you let me think about it again." The information is not enough, he has no way to verify it, and his father doesn't believe his words.

Seeing Situ Jing's embarrassing expression, Jia Hu guessed that this matter was not easy to handle, so he persuaded him: "Your Highness, don't worry, you should observe secretly first, unless Yin Meiren and the Seventh Prince really did nothing, otherwise it will definitely happen." It will show your feet, and then you will have evidence."

Situ Jing was silent for a while, and said helplessly: "This is the only way to go now, let's go back first, you are about to leave the palace."

When the two returned to the apse, Su Yi and Jian Ming were no longer playing chess. In Su Yi's words, it would be boring to win every game.Jia Hu followed Situ Jing and laughed at his simple chess skills, and the four of them went to the side hall. It was almost time, and the main hall should be dismissed.

Entering the palace for a banquet today, the happiest member of Jia She's family of four is Jia Lian. For children of his age, when they go out during the New Year's Eve, they receive red envelopes and various rewards. Each has its own difficulties.Jia Shekong had a title but no official position, and he had few acquaintances when he sat in the main hall, and he couldn't find someone to chat with, so he sat stupidly for half a day without even eating enough.The husband is not up to the mark, and Zhang's face is not very honorable in front of many orders, but fortunately, there is Jia Hu's existence, so people dare not completely underestimate her.

Needless to say, Jia Hu was overwhelmed by the matter. He told Situ Jing his doubts about Yin Meiren and the Seventh Prince, but he was not at all sure whether Situ Jing could find anything useful. Watch it later.Jia Lian sat in the same sedan chair as his elder brother, and seeing that Jia Hu was only thinking about his own affairs and kept ignoring him, he was a little unhappy, so he reached out to tug on his sleeve, and even took out the good things he had received as a gift.Jia Hu came back to her senses, lowered her head and teased her younger brother, "Lianer, brother likes this piece of topaz, can you give it to him?"

Jia Lian is a small money fanatic. Usually, the things that his elders reward him are locked up by his own nanny, so that they are not easily seen by others. It is even more difficult to coax something out of his hands than going to heaven.Jia Hu was also teasing him, never thinking about what he really wanted from him, but unexpectedly Jia Lian frowned, and although he was a bit reluctant, he carefully put the piece of topaz in Jia Hu's hand, saying, " Since my brother likes it, I'll give it to you, and if it's someone else, I won't." After speaking, she pouted, with a heartbroken expression on her face.

Jia Hu was immediately amused and laughed, his brother is so funny, at least he still thinks about his brother in his heart, it's not in vain that he loves him so much.With Jia Lian interrupting him, Jia Hu's mood improved a lot. He decided to think less about things and spend the New Year happily.

It was quite late for Jia Amnesty and the others to return to the mansion, but Jia Jing and his wife were in charge of the ancestor worship, and the family banquet in the West Mansion was also prepared by Wang's.After the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the ancestors, Mrs. Li kept Mrs. Zhang, thanked her, and said that after a few days, she came to invite her personally.Mrs. Zhang waved her hands again and again and said it was nothing, she was just helping to spread the word that this marriage could be accomplished because of the predestined relationship between the two families.

Don't think that Jia Amnesty was neglected in the palace, but when he was in front of Jia Jing and Jia Zheng, he was still very proud, who made them unable to enter the palace.It doesn't matter to Jia Jing, he has always taken these mundane things lightly, besides, he is a serious second-class Jinshi, as long as his qualifications are enough and his official position is promoted, he is eligible to enter the palace for banquets, unlike Jia Amnesty, he actually entrusted his son face.Jia Zheng didn't have the mentality that Jia Jing had, and he had no chance of being promoted, so he was naturally upset, but he couldn't show it, he could only hold it back, and almost got internal injuries.

On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Shi Taijun and Mrs. Zhang went into the palace to pay their respects to the queen with heavy make-up. Although Wang's imperial order was approved, but the grade was not high enough, they had to stay as housekeepers. Jia Zhu was ill, and she complained to Jia Zheng many times in her heart.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Mrs. Li really came to Xifu, and invited the whole family to watch a play and have a drink on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. Shi Taijun is used to joining in the fun, so she immediately agreed. She always felt that Jia Zheng should have a good relationship with Jia Jing. Everyone They are cousins, and they are officials in the same dynasty, so they should help each other.

Jia Hu asked Mrs. Zhang what Mrs. Li thanked her for, and whether the marriage between elder brother Zhen and second cousin of the Zhang family had come to an end.Mrs. Zhang nodded with a smile, and said that this was the matter. Mrs. Zhang hadn't called her back for several months.

At the beginning, Mrs. Zhang revealed Jia Jing and his wife's thoughts when she went back to her natal home. Both Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang thought it was good, so they asked someone to inquire carefully.

The Zhang family has always been very particular about marrying their daughters. It can be said that they want fame and benefits.It is strange to say that in the last two generations of the Zhang family, there were very few daughters. In Zhang's generation, she had only one daughter. In the next generation, there were around ten nephews and only two nieces.Zhang's eldest niece got married several years ago, and she is very well married. She has three children, and there is only one young niece left in the family. The whole family is very cautious about her marriage.The Zhang family not only inquired about Jia Zhen's situation, but also inquired about Jia Jing and Li's family. They must be perfect before they are willing to betroth their daughter.

Mr. Zhang San used to work in the Ministry of Rites. Although he went to Honglu Temple later, he still has colleagues in the Ministry of Rites. He quickly found out that Jia Jing is not bad, although he is a descendant of the Duke's Mansion, he is a descendant. He became a marquis, but he was a Jinshi who was admitted by himself. He was also conscientious, down-to-earth and steady in doing things in the Ministry of Rites, which made people feel at ease.Not to mention the Li family, generations of scholars still have some connections with the Zhang family.Jia Zhen was detained for studying since she was a child, and she was preparing for the examination when she came back from being a scholar.

After three or four months of investigation, the Zhang family finally approved the marriage and sent someone to tell Zhang.Mrs. Zhang turned around and told Mrs. Li, and Mrs. Li invited the official media to come to her door to propose marriage. It was agreed in advance, and the Zhang family had no reason not to agree. This marriage was settled just like that.
