The Young Master of the Jia Family in the Red Chamber

Years ago, Jia Hu received a letter but did not reply to Situ Jing. This was the first time in history. Situ Jing faintly felt something. He was not angry, but he didn't dare to think about it, so he just let it go. , no matter what Jia Hu meant, he shouldn't get to the bottom of it.

Now, Jia Hu sent a letter and a congratulatory gift, the letter said words of distress and comfort, and the big Ah Fu he gave was also hand-made, not to mention the lifelike shape, the key is the heart, it seems very sincere.Of course, Situ Jing would not treat him coldly. Not only did he reply to the letter, but he also printed his happy handprints and footprints on the letter as a thank you gift.Even so, Situ Jing could still feel that both he and Jia Hu had become more cautious when writing letters to each other. It seemed that the pen was written after a long time of deliberation, and it was no longer the intimacy and naturalness of the beginning.

Although Jia Hu himself was not in the capital, his marriage with the head of Xunyang County was not affected at all. As early as the beginning of the year, Mrs. Zhang had discussed it with Princess Zhongjing.Considering that Jia Hu will take the provincial examination next year, and the year after that, the marriage date between him and the head of Xunyang County is preliminarily set in June of the fifth year of Yonghe. If Jia Hu wins the Jinshi, it will be double happiness , if you fail to win, it can also be said that you start a family first and then start a career.Princess Zhongjing loves her daughter the most, so she is naturally happy that her daughter can stay at home for two more years.

Mrs. Zhang wanted to hug her grandson for a long time. Every time she saw Jia Rong and Jia Mao, who were born to Mrs. Zhang, she couldn't put it down.Now that Jia Hu's marriage has been settled, she hastily prepared the betrothal gift, which was full of 72 taels and cost a small 10 taels of silver.

Regarding this, Shi Taijun complained quite a bit, and felt that the dowry was a bit too heavy.Back then, when Jia She married the Zhang family, who was still the eldest son of the Grand Duke, it only cost 3 taels of silver for the engagement.Jia Amnesty was relegated to the rank of Xijue, Jia Hu was only the eldest son of the Marquis, even if the other party was the county lord, 10 taels of silver was too much to hire.Mrs. Zhang didn't understand Shi Taijun's meaning. There was no separation in the West Mansion, and all the marriages of the children in the family were paid by officials. I can't bear it.

Therefore, Mrs. Zhang took out the dowry list of the Xunyang county lord that Princess Zhongjing had given her in advance.After seeing it, Shi Taijun sighed expressionlessly and said nothing more.It turns out that although there are many sons and daughters of the loyal and respectful prince, only the head of Xunyang County is the son of the concubine, and even the eldest son is born of the side concubine.Seeing that the huge family business of the palace will fall into the hands of the concubine in the future, how can Princess Zhongjing swallow this breath, but she is not up to date, and there is no way if she can't bear a son. The only daughter is married, and the dowry must be more the better.

In this way, the dowry of the head of Xunyang County will be very considerable, even if it does not count the rewards from the palace, at least there will be nearly 20 taels. .Unexpectedly, as soon as the Jia family was hired, the head of Xunyang County fell ill. Princess Zhongjing didn't dare to delay, so she immediately invited an imperial doctor to come to the mansion. Unexpectedly, after taking two doses of medicine, the condition of the county head of Xunyang County not only did not improve, but also worsened. It's getting serious.Concubine Zhongjing panicked, praying to gods and worshiping Buddha everywhere, she is such a daughter, how can she watch something happen to her.

On this day, when Concubine Zhongjing was crying over her dying daughter, a monk suddenly came to the door and said that the Lord of Xunyang County is an extraordinary person and cannot be involved in marriage in the world. Worrying about life, only by breaking the mortal relationship can life be saved.

King Situche, how could he believe such nonsense, he immediately had the skinny monk and the lame Taoist kicked out, but that night, the condition of the magistrate of Xunyang County became more serious, and the imperial doctors said there was nothing to do. Only let the loyal prince and princess resign themselves to fate.

Concubine Zhongjing loves her daughter very much, so she doesn't care too much, and immediately sends someone to find a monk.Fortunately, the two did not go far, and were invited back soon. They told Princess Zhongjing that the only way for the Xunyang County Lord to survive was to let her become a monk, and there was no other way.

What? !Monk? !Princess Zhongjing almost fainted when she heard the words. How could her daughter who is as beautiful as a flower be always with the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng.Princess Zhongjing couldn't accept this fact at all, and hurriedly asked: "Master, is there any other way to resolve it?"

"Amitabha!" The scarlet-headed monk shook his head while reciting the Buddha's name.If the person who told Xunyang county master was someone else, even if she didn't go out, they would have a way to resolve this bad luck for her, but unfortunately that person was Jia Hu, so they could only cut off her connection with the world.

"If the concubine is reluctant to part with the county lord, she has at most three days to live." The lame Taoist said, shaking the Buddha dust in his hand.The order of heaven has long been chaotic, and the fate of those who have experienced calamities has also changed, some for the better, and some for the worse.

The county lord of Xunyang is the younger sister of Fairy Jing Huan. She has not had enough time to experience calamities in the world. If she ends early, she will fall short.That's why Fairy Jing Huan asked them to save the life of Xunyang County Master no matter what. She and Jia Hu must never be married.

"My lord, why don't we try?" Princess Zhongjing thought about it, but still felt that her daughter's life was the most important thing.Situ Che couldn't think about it, so he agreed to Wang Hao's ridiculous move. After all, it was his first child, and he was as reluctant as Wang Hao.

It's a strange thing to say, Princess Zhongjing sent her daughter to Baiyun nunnery in the suburbs of Beijing overnight, and before she was formally shaved, the condition of the county lord of Xunyang improved.Concubine Zhongjing didn't give up, and planned to let her daughter rest in the nunnery first, in case she could be raised well, she was not reconciled.

Unexpectedly, after this repetition, the condition of the Xunyang county lord has worsened. He was clearly awake before, but now he is unconscious again.Concubine Zhongjing no longer dared to play tricks in front of the Bodhisattva, and honestly let her daughter become a monk, and the illness of the county master of Xunyang, healed without medicine.

Since ancient times, marriages bestowed by the emperor cannot be reversed, and there has never been a saying of retiring the marriage.The Situ Che couple started to worry after they sent their daughter to the nunnery. How would they explain to the Jia family and how to explain to the saint? This is slapping him in the face.

The two discussed it for several days, and finally decided to tell the truth, it wasn't that they didn't want Jia Hu as a son-in-law, it was just that they couldn't afford it. Everyone in the Tai Hospital could testify to Ke'er's illness at the time. It was also because he was eager to save his daughter that he left her to become a monk.

Situ Yan had heard about what happened in the Palace of Zhongjing, but he had never believed it. Just because of the words of two charlatans, he sent the princess of the royal family to become a nun. No matter how he thought about it, he thought it was unreliable. It turned out to be true and unexpected.

Situ Jing listened to the whole process, and was stunned. After a long while, he said: "Third Uncle, Third Aunt, you didn't check the origins of the monk and the Taoist, so you sent the eldest sister to the nunnery?" Situ Jing's mentality is very complicated. He is not very happy when Jia Hu wants to marry his cousin, but he is even more unhappy when his third uncle and aunt send his cousin who is engaged to Jia Hu to a nunnery to become a monk. What's the matter.

Situ Che didn't speak, Princess Zhongjing spoke up, and cried: "We also know that it's not kind to do so. The marriage bestowed by the saint can't be changed logically. Doctor, it’s fine if you don’t want to.”

The more Princess Zhongjing cried, the more sad she became. If she had other options, could she let her daughter become a monk? No matter how luxurious they furnished the nunnery, it was still a nunnery.But no, the daughter will die if she doesn't go home, they have so much to do there, and keeping her life is the top priority.

Situ Yan and Situ Jing didn't have much experience in dealing with women, so they were immediately dumbfounded by Princess Zhongjing crying.And they didn't doubt her words. The Situche and his wife were really satisfied with their marriage with the Jia family. There are not many high-quality son-in-law candidates like Jia Hu in the whole capital. They don't know how satisfied they are with him. The preparations were also very meticulous, and in the end their daughter couldn't get married, and they were more depressed than anyone else.

After crying for a long time, Situ Yan became impatient and asked Situ Che to take his wife to see the Supreme Emperor and Concubine Shen. He came to comfort the Jia family.

Before leaving the door, Situ Che suddenly said: "Brother Huang, why don't you tell Jia Hu to wait a little longer, I still have two young daughters, and they will be married in a few years." Situ Jing was speechless when he heard that. The youngest daughter, Uncle Sanhuang has had sons for the next ten years since he got his eldest sister. His second and third younger sisters are five and three years old respectively this year. Instead of waiting for them to grow up, Jia Hu might as well wait for his own. hi hi.

After sending away Situ Che and his wife, Situ Yan sighed helplessly, "Jing'er, it seems that I really don't have the talent to be a matchmaker!" The niece and daughter who went out became a monk before getting married to avoid disaster.

The situation of the Lord of Xunyang County is too special, and the imperial physician of the imperial hospital can also prove that what the Lord Zhongjing said is true.Situ Yan said that the marriage of the two families was invalidated in public, but he also acquiesced in the resignation of the Jia family in Zhongjing Wangfu, and said that he would make up for the Jia family.

It happened for a reason, and the prince and his wife came to the door in person, no matter how awkward Jia She and Zhang felt, they could only nod.The 10 taels of betrothal gift sent back by Prince Zhongjing's mansion was quite a lot. Not only that, they also left 2000 taels of gold as compensation for the divorce.

As the person involved, Jia Hu was notified only after the dust settled. His fiancée was gone and he went to become a monk.Although Jia Hu was surprised, it was not unacceptable. Mrs. Zhang also said in the letter that because there were too many opinions in Beijing, she would not propose a kiss to him for the time being, and wait for him to finish the exam. The sound should also be lowered.Compared with Zhang's worries, Jia Hu is not worried at all. Subjectively, he has no idea about marrying a daughter-in-law.

The coming year will be the year of the Grand Competition. Jia Hu doesn't think about anything, and puts all his thoughts on the books. Although Su Yi's miracle of winning six yuan cannot be replicated, he doesn't want to go all the way to "two". He will be laughed at by Situ Jing.

Time went to the fourth year of Yonghe unknowingly, and Jia Hu brought Jia Lian back to Jinling to celebrate the first birthday of her smart and cute little cousin Lin Daiyu.In May, Jia Lian will take the college examination, and in August, he will take the rural examination. Both examinations are very important and cannot be missed.
