The Young Master of the Jia Family in the Red Chamber

Before Situ Jing's marriage leave was over, Su Yi stepped forward on behalf of the Su family and returned the 20 taels of silver owed to the state treasury for many years, which caused quite a stir in the court.If this matter is initiated by others, it will definitely cause countless controversies, especially those whose families are in poor condition and do not have enough money, they will complain [-]% of the time, and the saint has not even mentioned the matter of paying back the money. If you are so active in doing something, you can forget about it if you want to earn performance, and drag everyone into the water. It is really unkind to be a human being.

But Su Yi was different. People would not think so when he did this, but they would think that the sage was implying something.What kind of family is the Su family? It is the mother's family of the sage and also the natal family of the princess. Su Yi lost her father when she was young. The sage simply took him into the palace and raised him with the prince. Now he has made his younger sister Su Yue the prince. concubine.The sage treated the Su family so favorably. He was afraid that they would suffer some grievance. Su Yi didn't want to use such an outrageous way to get closer to the Tian family. If it was said that he was acting according to the order, the courtiers would be more likely to accept it.

After Su Yi, Marquis An Yuan also returned the 25 taels of silver owed by his family.First the Su family, then the Jian family, the people who were still waiting and watching gradually saw the name, it seems that the saint really wanted everyone to pay back the money, but it was not easy to speak, so the Su family and the Jian family took the lead .Jia Hu saw that Su Yi and Jian Jian had taken action, so he quickly reminded Jia Amnesty and Jia Jing that they could also take action.Due to their status, the Jia family can't be the first to pay back the money, but they can't fall behind either. Be active and leave a good impression on people.

There are few people in Dongfu, and the wealth accumulated over several generations should not be underestimated. Although 40 taels is not a small amount, it can be used.The population of Xifu is slightly larger, but the family has not been separated yet, and the warehouse needs to take out 40 taels of cash, so there is still some.

So within two days, Jia Amnesty found out the court clothes that had not been worn a few times at the bottom of the box, followed Jia Jing to the court, and the two went to the household department to write off the accounts together.Like the Jia family, those who responded quickly include the Shi family of Shan Guogong, the Zhuo family of Fushun Hou, the Bo Han family of Jinxiang, and the Zhang family of the former chief assistant.

Jia Hu does not keep his secrets in his work, and it is better to pay back the money sooner rather than later. He asked Jia She and Zhang to notify all relatives in the family who owed money, such as the Shi family, Zhang family, Wang family, Zhuo family, etc. Wait, as for whether people listen or not, he doesn't care, anyway, I told you.

Needless to say, the Zhang family, Mr. Zhang is still alive, the money has been prepared long ago, and when Situ Yan showed his intentions, Mr. Zhang went to the household department to settle the account.Zhuo Yun was young and didn't know about the borrowing of money by his grandfather's generation, but he was quick-witted. Seeing that both the Su family and the Jian family were disturbed, the eldest brother asked someone to come over to remind him, and immediately opened the warehouse and started to prepare for it. The silver that pays back.The reaction of the Shi family and the Wang family was about to be delayed by half a beat. Shi Nai and Wang Ziteng both wanted to take another look to see how other people did it.

Due to the Supreme Emperor's thoughts, Situ Yan couldn't take the initiative to ask the minister to pay back the money, but he had absolutely no reason not to accept it if he was willing to pay back the money, and even praised these courtiers who sympathized with the Sacred Heart.As a result, those who have spare energy and are still watching can't sit still, and start to think of ways to raise money, and paying it back by themselves is much better than being forced to pay it back.Some people really didn't make it, and they tried their best to pay back part of it first. In any case, they had to show their attitude.

In just over ten days, five or six million taels of silver were returned to the household department, accounting for almost half of the total arrears, and the household secretary rolled his eyes with joy.The sage is determined to forge ahead, which is a good thing for the country and the people, but the stalls are a bit bigger, and there are places where money is spent everywhere. If it weren't for the property confiscated by the Zhen family and the money returned by the courtiers, he would not be able to stand up Yes, thank goodness Amitabha.

Jia Zhen is an intern in the Ministry of Household Affairs. Although she has no official grade, she is busy these days.The longer he was in the court, the more he felt that his cousin was a powerful figure, and it was not easy to be so embarrassed in front of the saint and the prince.

There was too much commotion in the previous court, and the Supreme Emperor also heard a lot of rumors, so he asked Situ Yan what was going on.Situ Yan smiled and shifted the responsibility to his son, saying that it was Situ Jing's intention, starting from the companions around him, to make people owe money to the state treasury.

The Supreme Emperor was old and always soft-hearted towards his courtiers, so he hurriedly asked Situ Jing if he had pushed people too hard.Situ Yan shook his head, and explained in detail: "Father, don't worry, these people are all making money from Haimao, otherwise, I wouldn't mess around with Jinger."

The Emperor Taishang felt relieved when he heard the words. When the ocean-going fleet went to sea, he was also a part of it. He knew very well what the income would be.Situ Yan saw that the Supreme Emperor didn't want to ask any more questions, so he changed the topic. He said that the portrait of Queen Jane was about to be completed, and it looked like a real person. He also said that when Chris finished painting this painting, he would ask him to refer to Su Yue. Draw the Empress Dowager Su too.The Supreme Emperor repeatedly said yes, when it comes to spending time with him, Empress Dowager Su is not as good as Empress Dowager Chu, but that's how people are, the lost ones are the best in retrospect.

After spending the Mid-Autumn Festival at home, Jia Hu started to order people to pack his luggage. This time, he said that he would stay in Jiangnan for two years, and he brought more things, so it was slower to pack.Before leaving, Jia Hu entered the palace to resign. Situ Jing's marriage leave was over, and he was reading the booklet in the study.

The last time Jia Hu saw Situ Jing was on his wedding day, and the two of them had no chance to speak alone.But just like that, Jia Hu also got half-drunk at the wedding banquet, so as not to lose her manners.He went home and drank himself another jar of wine. He was so drunk that he fell asleep in a daze.

The next day, Jia Hu woke up from the hangover with a splitting headache and took a whole day's rest before recovering.After that, he studied and practiced martial arts at home every day. After adjusting for more than half a month, he finally adjusted his mentality to a calm state of mind, so that people would never look suspicious.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the palace, the words "No, I can't let him see that I still miss him" flashed in his mind, and Jia Hu was stunned.He was stunned at the door of Situ Jing's study, then walked in quickly, knelt on one knee and said, "Kowtow to His Royal Highness the Prince."

"Exemption, peace." Situ Jing's voice was flat, without any turmoil. If Jia Hu hadn't seen the thoughts in his heart, he would have mistakenly thought that he had let go of the past and went to sleep and fly with the princess .

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness." Jia Hu stood up calmly, with a calm expression.He had never hated his special ability so much as at this moment. If he didn't know Situ Jing's thoughts, he might be able to let go of this fruitless relationship slowly, but now, his heart is confused.

Seeing Jia Hu walking in front of the book case, Situ Jing put down the booklet in his hand, raised his head and asked, "When do you plan to leave?" The last time we met before parting, he couldn't help but want to look at Jia Hu more, wait for him When he came back, he was probably going to marry his eldest sister.

Jia Hu smiled lightly, and said indifferently: "We are going to leave in three days. My mother asked someone to check the date and said that it is a good day to go out."

Situ Jing was silent for a moment, and said for a moment: "Since that's the case, I wish you a smooth journey and return home with laurels."

"Thank you for your auspicious words, Your Highness." Jia Hu cupped his hands. He wanted to say a lot to Situ Jing. After thinking about it carefully, he still felt that it was inappropriate. What he finally said were these simple six words, his expression As calm as water, no one can see anything unusual.

Situ Jing desperately told himself that Jia Hu was just going back to his hometown to take the exam, and when he passed the Juren exam, he would go back to Beijing to take the Jinshi exam. It's not like they couldn't see each other again.It's good to separate temporarily, when they meet again, all the troubles now may be gone.

After chatting and laughing, Situ Jing suddenly teased Jia Hu and asked him if he would go back to his hometown for two years, and if he had spoken to the county magistrate of Xunyang.

Jia Hu was stunned by the question. In his opinion, as long as he was not married, the marriages of his children in this era seemed to have nothing to do with him. All matters were discussed and prepared by the elders of the two families. Wait with peace of mind, the wedding day will be fine.

Seeing Jia Hu's dazed expression, Situ Jing felt a little regretful, why did he remind Jia Hu to be nice to his eldest sister.

Later, Situ Jing inquired quietly, and learned that before Jia Hu left Beijing, he sent a hand-carved tumbler to the county magistrate of Xunyang, and the magistrate returned with a delicate and gorgeous pouch.Situ Jing was not happy. It turned out that apart from him, Jia Hu would also give other people things made by himself. He secretly made up his mind not to prepare gifts for Jia Hu's birthday next year. Anyway, he would not care about it.

Jia Hu and Jia Lian stayed in Yangzhou for a few days because they brought the festival and congratulatory gifts from the Jia family to Jia Min. When it was time to leave, Jia Min stopped them, saying that although Jinling had clansmen, they were not as close as their uncles and aunts. It's better to stay in Yangzhou and return to Jinling during the holidays.

Jia Hu thought about it carefully, and felt that Jia Min's words were very reasonable. Jiangnan's literary style was very prosperous, and there was no difference between them living in Jinling and Yangzhou.Moreover, with Lin Ruhai in Yangzhou, it would be much more convenient for him and Jia Lian to ask for homework, so they asked Jia Lian for advice.

Jia Lian lived in the Lin family for more than a month last year. He felt that his uncle and aunt were easy to get along with, so he was naturally willing to stay.In Jinling's hometown, let's talk about the clan members, they are all out of five uniforms, so it's enough to live for three to five days before and after the exam, and he can't bear it for two full years.

So Jia Hu and Jia Lian lived in Lin's house.The Lin family had a small population, and there were only two masters, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min. Seeing that Jia Hu and the others were willing to stay, Jia Min was overjoyed, and immediately asked someone to buy something for them, and asked Lin Ruhai to recommend a school for them.

After all, Lin Ruhai is busy with business, it is fine for them to ask him for homework occasionally, but it is better to go to the academy if they study every day.The township examination will be held two years later, Jia Hu is not in a hurry, but Jia Lian will take the children's examination next year, and Jia Hu is a little worried about his level.

Living in Lin's house for a while, Jia Hu keenly noticed that Jia Min's health was not very good, and his complexion was much worse than when we met last year.From Jia Hu's limited understanding, all women will gain weight after pregnancy, at least that's the case for the few he has met.

Jia Min was not the case. Apart from a slight bulge in her belly, she was extremely thin, and her face was also unhealthily white.Jia Hu felt uneasy after seeing it, so she asked her if she had seen a doctor. Jia Min's health is so poor that the child may not be healthy after birth.

Because he is a nephew of her natal family, they usually have a good relationship. Jia Min didn't mind Jia Hu's abrupt speech, but said that she knew it well.Jia Hu is a junior, and she doesn't understand these things, but it's just a matter of point, Jia Min's body still needs her own attention.

In the days that followed, Jia Hu could see the doctor coming in and out of Lin's house from time to time. Although Jia Min's condition didn't get better, it didn't get worse either, so he didn't ask any more questions. Apart from studying hard every day, he just urged Jia Lian Homework, forcing him to jump up and down.

At the end of October, the royal fleet went out to sea again, and Jane led people to go east. It was a route that people in the Central Plains had never traveled before. It is said that on the other side of the ocean, there is a huge unowned continent. Discovered there more than 100 years ago.

The other fleet is going south, passing through Southeast Asia, heading for Europe.Unexpectedly, Situ Lv was also among those who went to sea. Jia Hu couldn't imagine how he persuaded the Supreme Emperor and Queen Mother Chu, and he lit the wax for the newly married Princess Ying at the same time.

In the twelfth lunar month, Jia Hu took Jia Lian back to Jinling. It was okay not to live in his hometown, but he would always come back to worship ancestors during the New Year, meet clan elders and clan members, and check the sacrifice fields and clan studies.When Jia Hu did these things, he took Jia Lian with him and explained everything to him in detail.

This is the first time for Jia Lian to return to his hometown, and he has been greatly touched. It turned out that most of the members of his Jia family are ordinary people in the countryside. If a child can be selected as a scholar, the whole clan should be happy for it.

After returning to Yangzhou from Jinling, Jia Hu received a letter from Situ Jing, which only said one thing, the princess is pregnant and he is going to be a father.Jia Hu felt a little sore in his heart, the only time, the person he had a crush on also liked him, but they still ended like this.

Jia Hu didn't reply to Situ Jing's letter, he thought it was unnecessary, besides congratulations, what else could he say, or not.

Jia Lian didn't know what stimulated Jia Hu, but he was not in a good mood, and he could see it, so he tried different ways to tease him, and assured him again and again that he would work hard and strive to pass the examination as a scholar in one go. , to catch up with his brother's progress.

Due to the arrival of the Jia Hu brothers, this new year of the Lin family was extraordinarily lively.Looking at her nephew, Jia Min couldn't help but think about the unborn child. Jia Hu is stable and reliable, and Jia Lian is smart. If her son can be like her two cousins, she will be very satisfied.

The four generations of the Lin family were single-handed, and there were girls in the first two generations. From Lin Ruhai's father's generation, there was only one son.

Jia Min's pregnancy was not easy, and she had been looking forward to it for more than ten years. She prayed to gods and Buddhas, sought medical advice, and tried all kinds of folk remedies and secret remedies. So this child must be a son.

At the end of the first lunar month, Jia Hu and Jia Lian returned to Jinling again. Besides Jia Lian, the family also had two children who participated in the childbirth test this year, so everyone could be a companion.The difficulty of the county test is not high, the three children referred by the Jia family have all passed, and their rankings are not bad.

The government test was just in March, and Jia Hu didn't want to run around, so she planned to stay with Jia Lian in Jinling, pass the government test and then return to Yangzhou.Unexpectedly, two days after the results of the county test came out, news came from Yangzhou that Jia Min gave birth prematurely and gave birth to a daughter one month early.

Jia Hu couldn't stay here any longer, he asked Jia Lian to stay in his hometown to prepare for the government examination, and he went back to Yangzhou first to have a look.Jia Lian wanted to go with him, but was persuaded by Jia Hu, who said that the Lin family was in turmoil at the moment, and he just concentrated on reading, and said that he would go back after the exam.

After Jia Lian settled down, Jia Hu went back to Yangzhou alone, and met her newborn little cousin.Although he was not the son he had been looking forward to for many years, but Lin Ruhai had been empty for many years, and it was very rare to have a daughter. As soon as he landed, he chose his baby name and called him Daiyu.

Daiyu, Lin Daiyu, and Jia Hu were dumbfounded. It turned out that this is the heroine of the Dream of the Red Chamber. It was really unexpected.
