The Young Master of the Jia Family in the Red Chamber

Before today, Jia Hu had never thought that Situ Jing, who was still a half-grown child in his opinion, had already reached the age to marry the princess.Situ Jing said that he was 16 years old, but the ancients counted their ages as imaginary years. In fact, they have passed their 15th birthday. In modern times, they are just at the age of high school. If they dare to fall in love, they will definitely be labeled as puppy love , but in this day and age, he is able to marry a wife in an upright manner. No wonder Situ Yan would say such a thing, it is really enough to shirk his responsibility.

Jia Hu has been studying with Situ Jing in the palace for many years, and he also knows a thing or two about the reason why the East Palace is empty all the year round.

When Situ Yan was in his teens, his health was even worse than it is now. An imperial physician once told the emperor in a cryptic manner that if he wanted the prince to live a few more years, he had better be pure-hearted so as not to hurt his lifespan.Therefore, the emperor never sent people to the East Palace, and if he found a court lady who had misbehavior, he would directly punish them to the Ye Court. .

Jia Hu has never seen the relationship between Situ Yan and Jian's, and he has no right to speak, but he heard from the old people in the Eastern Palace that the Crown Prince indulged the Crown Princess back then. As long as it is within the scope of the Eastern Palace, he can do whatever she wants. Almost never stopped.

The princess was rescued and died. The prince was sad for a long time, and he didn't intend to marry again.Considering the status of the eldest grandson and his son's health, the emperor did not persecute Situ Yan on this matter, and it dragged on until today.

Seeing that Situ Yan was about to ascend the throne as emperor, it would be outrageous if the sixth palace was empty. Everyone guessed that he might choose one or two beautiful women to enter the palace. Even if there was no queen, four concubines and nine concubines would have to Seal one or two, it can't be that there is not even a person in charge in the palace.

Unexpectedly, Situ Yan didn't have such a plan. He planned to follow the example of the Tai and Zu emperors, and let the crown prince take charge of the affairs of the harem.

Seeing that Situ Jing was still frowning, Jia Hu couldn't help asking curiously, "Your Highness, don't you want to get married?"

Situ Jing shook his head slightly, and said in a muffled voice: "How could I like it? When I was a child, I met the cousins ​​of the Su family and the Jian family. They all said that they were famous ladies in Beijing, but I am not interested in what they say. What I say, they I don’t understand it, it’s boring.”

The Su family is Empress Su's natal family, which has been handed down from generation to generation, and the girls in the family are known for their talents.The Jian's family is the natal family of the Crown Princess Jian's family. Like the Jia's family, they started their business with military exploits.The most interesting thing about their family is that raising their daughters is the same as raising their sons, they are all raised in a heroic manner.

It can be said that the girls from the Su family and the Jian family are typical representatives of noble girls in the capital, and they are among the best. If Situ Jing and his cousins ​​do not have a common language, the girls from other families may be even more Will not be seen by him.

Thinking of this, Jia Hu immediately felt sympathy for Situ Jing, and it would be a shame to marry a concubine who was like a chicken and a duck back to the palace.

Before he could say words of comfort, Situ Jing suddenly said, "Jia Hu, it would be great if you were a girl."

"Why?" Jia Hu was at a loss. He didn't understand why Situ Jing said that. No matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like a girl.

Situ Jing raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "If you are a girl, I will marry you as the crown princess. Isn't it just right."

Although he was joking, but Situ Jing thought about it in his heart, but found that if there really was a princess like Jia Hu who was interested in everything and could chat with him, get married or something, he would be happy. I won't be so contradictory anymore, but it's a pity that Jia Hu is not a woman.

Jia Hu sighed, and said helplessly, "Your Highness, if I were a girl, I would not be able to enter the palace, and we would have no chance of knowing each other." I had never heard of girls being able to accompany the prince, so Jia Hu was Situ Jing's whimsical ideas made him a little dumbfounded.

Situ Jing smiled, raised his eyebrows and said, "I know, it's just talking." After a pause, he suddenly asked, "Jia Hu, do you have any sisters who are about the same age as you in your family?" If Jia Hu's sisters If he could be somewhat like him, it would be okay to marry and return home.

Jia Hu shook his head with a bitter face, and explained: "In our room, there are only me and my younger brother. In my second uncle's house, there is a cousin who is three years younger than me. She has been with my grandmother since she was a child. She was brought up by an old man, and we don't have many contacts."

Situ Jing originally thought that if Jia Hu had a sister, as long as they were of the same age and temperament, he could consider it, but the cousin in the next room was still not familiar with Jia Hu, so forget it, he didn't want to find a sister for himself. Trouble, it's still a headache for the imperial grandfather and father.

Regarding the matter of getting married, Situ Jing and Jia Hu discussed it once, but they didn't mention it afterwards.Situ Jing didn't mention it because the matter is a foregone conclusion, and it's useless to talk more.Jia Hu didn't say anything because Situ Jing's joke vaguely aroused some thoughts in him.

After returning to Beijing from Jinling, Jia Hu had a wonderful sense of sight when he saw Situ Jing.But he couldn't figure out where this feeling came from, but it became clearer and clearer as time went by.Until that day, when Situ Jing said that he was going to get married, Jia Hu didn't think anything of it at the time, but after thinking about it, he realized that his mood was exactly the same as when he received a wedding invitation from a male god.

Jia Hu was terrified by his own hindsight, he seemed to like the future prince, why should he be so unlucky.What's even more unfortunate is that, let alone a confession, when Jia Hu realizes his feelings, that is when hope is dashed, and it is completely impossible for him and Situ Jing.

Fortunately, Jia Hu has a lot of experience in secret love, and he found that his own thoughts are nothing, and he can live his life as he wants. Anyway, Situ Jing is about to marry a wife, and nothing will change. He will continue to stay by his side, silently. Just like him.

When Situ Jing asked Jia Hu, he didn't have any biological sisters, but by the beginning of next spring, the answer might be certain.

Speaking of this matter, it has a lot to do with Shi Taijun.After Jia Zhu was gone, she was afraid that Mrs. Wang would not be able to give birth, so she put two girls in Jia Zheng's house.It's just that, that's all, Wang's is the only one who is depressed, who knows that Shi Taijun thought that there was no one around Jia She, so he stuffed two of them for him, and Zhang was so angry.Shi Taijun has always favored the second wife, Zhang has been used to it for more than ten years, and doesn't care about anything.I don't want to think that her old man is not partial to things like Sai Yatou, and Mrs. Zhang is so heartbroken.

In the past few years, Mrs. Zhang was not the only one around Jia She, but also had a few housekeepers. Because they had no children and they were getting older, they were sent out by Mrs. Zhang one by one.Unexpectedly, after a few years of peace, Shi Taijun stuffed people in again, how could Mrs. Zhang get up happily.

What's even more depressing is that one of the two girls, who has been with Jia She for less than a year, actually broke the good news in the middle of this year.

Although Mrs. Zhang was unhappy in her heart, she didn't show it on the surface. She spared the girl surnamed Tong from saying hello in the morning and evening, and only let her raise her baby with peace of mind. Said that when she gave birth to the child, she would officially be made an aunt.

The girl was naturally thankful and grateful to Mrs. Zhang, even if she didn't say hello every day, she closed the door and made two pairs of shoes for Mrs. Zhang. The embroidery was exquisite and she handed them over.Mrs. Zhang saw that she kept her own place, and did not take pride in being favored, and treated her well.

Jia Amnesty already had two sons, it didn't matter if the concubine could have children or not, but Jia Zheng's need for sons was extremely urgent, but his two girls were silent.Shi Taijun would not think that it was her son's responsibility, but would only blame Wang, blaming her for keeping Jia Zheng in the room, so she couldn't have a son.Mrs. Wang felt aggrieved, but she didn't dare to defend herself, so she lowered her head silently, because Shi Taijun wanted her to learn more from Mrs. Zhang, so she secretly laughed at Mrs. Zhang, who already had two sons, and couldn't control men. It really deserves it.

Mrs. Zhang has been with Jia She for so many years, so she doesn't know his temperament. Of course, she doesn't dare to mess around outside, but she can't resist touching the girl who enters his house.She's just a housewife, and the child is also a concubine after birth, and her future fate is in her hands, so there is nothing to worry about.On the other hand, Mrs. Wang, who has no son of her own, may have to live on the bastard's son in the future, and she will suffer a lot.

Jia Hu and Jia Lian didn't have any sense of the upcoming siblings, there was a difference between the mother and daughter, regardless of men and women, it was the same thing.

On the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, the last court meeting in the 30th year of Yuanchang, the emperor officially announced his abdication, and the crown prince Situ Yan ascended the throne.

Since then, the emperor was renamed the Supreme Emperor, the empress was renamed the Empress Dowager, and concubine Shen Shu, Chen Zhaoyi and others became concubines and concubines respectively.

On the first day of the first lunar month of the first year of Yonghe, Situ Yan worshiped his ancestors at the Taimiao Temple and worshiped heaven at the Temple of Heaven.On the second day of the junior high school, Jane was named queen and Situ Jing was named prince.On the fourth day of the lunar new year, the new emperor entrusted three adult younger brothers as kings, Situ Che was named Zhongjing King, Situ Yu was named Zhongxiao King, and Situ Lu was named King Ying.

Situ Jing became the prince, and Jia Hu and others rose to the top, and they were also upgraded from the companions of the emperor's grandson to the companions of the prince.

However, Jian went to Europe before next year, and Su Yi was going to take the provincial examination in August, and she also took leave to study at home. The only ones who really stayed with Situ Jing were Jia Hu and Han Qi.After Situ Jing was appointed as the crown prince, he began to listen to the imperial court, and his daily class time was reduced to half a day, so he had no plans to add any more companionship.In another two years, Jia Hu and Han Qi will either take the exam or join the army, and they will go their separate ways.

On the day of Lichun, Jia Hu got a younger sister. Because she was well raised in the womb, she was born white and tender. Mrs. Zhang liked it, so she hugged her to her side to raise her.Seeing this, Aunt Tong was both happy and reluctant. His wife was willing to raise her. This daughter of hers could be counted on in this life.

The little girl's baby name was chosen by Shi Taijun, and it was called Yingchun, which didn't fit the Zhang family's aesthetics, but she was a concubine and was born on the day of the beginning of spring. The scientific name is, don't worry about it with the old lady.

Mrs. Zhang didn't have a daughter herself, and Aunt Tong was a knowledgeable and knowledgeable person who only knew how to serve her instead of pleasing Jia She, so she was somewhat sincere towards Yingchun, and all the treatment was not worse than Yuanchun's at the beginning.Mrs. Wang took care of the trivial matters at home, and seeing that Mrs. Zhang cared so much about this concubine, raising her more delicately than her own Yuan Chun, she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.Don't want Zhang to say, although Yingchun is a concubine, she is also the eldest daughter of Lord Hou, and her status is by no means lower than Yuanchun's. Compared with her treatment, it is considered inferior.

The implication was that she didn't have a biological daughter. If she had, Yuan Chun would not be able to match her. Wang was so angry that she almost lost her temper.

Jia Hu has never been a real child, and Jia Lian is also in his teens, so how could he care about a little sister? He would take the initiative to buy something fun and new for her. Who does it hurt? The right is to make Mrs. Zhang happy.

Yuan Chun regarded herself as the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion since she was a child. It wasn't until Ying Chun was born that she realized that her status may not be higher than that of a concubine's daughter in the eldest house.She is a concubine, but her father is just a minor official from the fifth rank, and Yingchun is a concubine, but she has a father who is a marquis.Moreover, she has no brothers or sisters at all, but Yingchun has an elder brother who is the prince's companion. The combination of these differences makes Yuanchun shocking.
