The Young Master of the Jia Family in the Red Chamber

In order to dispel Jia She and Zhang's idea of ​​letting him get married, Jia Hu once directed and acted in a big play, and the effect was very good, scaring away many people in the capital who wanted him to be their son-in-law.Even so, due to Situ Yan's repeated praises to him, some people who are not afraid of death still come to inquire about the news.It's a pity that such a promising son-in-law let go. Some people will always imagine that their daughter's horoscope may be strong enough to hold Jia Hu down.Fortunately, these people's grades are not high enough, and Jia She and Zhang look down on them, so there is no further discussion.

However, with the successful improvement of the steam engine and the arrival of next year's spring, Jia Hu is still very worried. At that time, someone from a similar family will come to the door to say goodbye, and the person will take the initiative to send it to the door. He can't make the girl sick , Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling a little heartbroken.

How can we avoid future troubles forever? Jia Hu thought hard, but he kept thinking about entering the examination room of the conference, and he couldn't figure out why.Because it was the third time to enter the Tribute Academy, Jia Hu had rich experience and was well prepared. After the exam, he was full of confidence, and he was waiting for the palace exam.

As the saying goes, when misfortune comes, blessings depend on it, and when blessings come, misfortune rests on it. Jia's family was still immersed in the joy of Jia Hu's entry into the top ten in the examination, and a funeral report came from Yangzhou. Jia Min worked hard Panlai's son unexpectedly died, and she herself was hit by this and fell ill.

Shi Taijun only has one daughter, Jia Min, and he loves her the most in his life. Hearing that his little grandson is gone and his daughter has also fallen ill, he is very anxious and will send someone to Yangzhou immediately.Because Jia Hu still had to take the exam, this task fell on Jia Lian. He had been to Yangzhou when he was a child, and lived in the house of his uncle and aunt for a long time.Both Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng love their sister, Mrs. Zhang also has a good relationship with her sister-in-law, everyone is very worried about her, only Mrs. Wang has a sad face, but is very happy in her heart.

Wang has been competing with Jia Min for most of her life, and she was inferior in everything in the early years. It was not until she gave birth to Jia Zhu and Yuan Chun brothers and sisters, but Jia Min had no children after ten years of marriage, that Wang felt that she had the upper hand.Then Jia Zhu passed away early, and Yuanchun's marriage was not going well, so she finally entered the palace and was favored by the King of England. The few concubines in the mansion have limited time to see him, and they have to set rules in front of the princess every day, so life is hard.

But Jia Min came through all hardships. First she had a daughter, Daiyu, and later she gave birth to a son. Seeing that Lin Ruhai would return home in two years after returning to Beijing, Wang was extremely jealous. Now news came from Yangzhou that Jia Min's son had not One can imagine Wang's mood.

Fortunately, she has been restrained by Shi Taijun and Zhang's all these years. Apart from messing up her daughter's marriage, she has no ability to cause other troubles. She has learned to restrain herself. No matter how happy she is in her heart, her face is full of misery. Seeing that Shi Taijun was a little impatient.

Not a few days after Jia Lian left for Jiangnan, Jia Hu entered the palace to take part in the palace examination. The topic of this year's palace examination is related to maritime trade. It can be said that Jia Hu is best at it. No pauses, feel good about yourself.

The examination papers were graded on the spot, and the examiners presented the top [-] papers to Situ Yan for him to rank.Situ Jing brought Situ Rui to join in the fun, but he could only watch and was not qualified to speak.Jia Hu's answer sheet was also included in those [-] test papers. Situ Jing found it very complicated after reading it. As far as the content is concerned, he explained it more deeply than anyone else. The writing style is really too simple. Bonus points for good words, maybe you will miss the top [-], I don't know what Situ Yan will do, but the possibility of the top three is unlikely.

After all, the test papers of the top three must be made public, not to mention Su Yi's splendid essays, but the other nineteen people, all of whom are more talented than Jia Hu, if he enters the top three, unless he can understand the essays Otherwise, I really can't understand the reason.

The top 5 rankings in the palace examination were announced backwards. To Situ Jing's surprise, Jia Hu's name did not appear until No. [-]. Regardless of the others, the main point is that Jia Hu enters the top three.

Before Situ Jing could finish his joy, No.4's name was read out, and it was Jia Hu.After all, Situ Yan didn't let him enter the first class, but gave him the first name of the second class, which is commonly known as Chuanlu.Situ Jing thought for a while, and felt that this ranking was not bad, so he nodded with a smile.Situ Rui was not familiar with other people's names, so he didn't respond when he heard them, but when he said Jia Hu, he giggled.

After the palace examination, there are also sub-subject examinations. Everyone goes to different departments according to the direction they are good at. It is not like before, either the Imperial Academy or the outside. Knowing the exam does not mean being an official. Direction is important.

There is no doubt about Jia Hu's whereabouts, it is directly Zhan Shifu, who has been sealed as the master book of Cong Qipin.Just as Jia Hu expected beforehand, as soon as Chunwei's results came out, some people were ready to move, and his family background was better than the previous ones. He was afraid that if this continued, the Zhang family would be tempted.

Just at this time, Jia Lian came back from Yangzhou with a letter saying that Jia Min had passed away.It turned out that after Jia Min gave birth to his son, his health became very bad. In the past few years, he was struggling for the sake of the child, and he was careful in the treatment and maintenance. It is a pity that the child was sick in the womb, and it was easy to raise him until he was three years old. went.Jia Min was hit so hard that he fell ill, and his death was so violent that it was useless for Lin Ruhai to ask famous doctors from the south of the Yangtze River.

When Jia Lian arrived in Yangzhou, Jia Min was already seriously ill, and Lin Ruhai and Lin Daiyu were also ill. Fortunately, Jia Lian was able to speak kindly and help the board of directors, so that the Lin family's father and daughter would not mourn too much. Now Jia Min Even the funeral is handled by Jia Lian.

Shi Taijun passed out when he received the letter. When he woke up, he said he was going to Yangzhou to see his daughter, but was persuaded by Jia Amnesty and Zhang with tears.She then said that when Jia Min left, Daiyu was alone, with no aunt to raise her and no brothers to support her, it was really pitiful.

If Lin Ruhai remarried in the future, she didn't know what would happen to her, but if she didn't marry, Daiyu would lose her mother and her eldest daughter, and she said that getting married would be difficult in the future, so she would immediately send someone to pick up her granddaughter.Mrs. Zhang hurriedly persuaded her again, saying that Lin Ruhai is a big man, and it is true that he is not good at taking care of his daughter, but he didn't just come to Jia's house to bring Daiyu, at least he had to wait for her to pay her respects.Seeing Shi Taijun nodding in agreement, Mrs. Zhang said that she would write to Jia Lian immediately, asking him to stay in Yangzhou for a few more days, release his uncle and cousin, and come back after a while.

I didn't want Jia Lian to write back, but said that he had already arrived in Yangzhou, he was too lazy to run around, so he just wanted to stay and come back after taking the provincial examination two years later. When he was transferred back to the capital, he brought his cousin back.

Mrs. Zhang thinks about it too. Jia Hu has already entered the imperial court as an official. If he wants to pick up Lin Daiyu, Jia Lian can only run errands. He must be in his hometown in Jinling to take part in the township examination. He can stay and ask Lin Ruhai for advice, just like Jia Hu back then. , also studied hard in Jiangnan for two years, and then passed the exam.

When Jia Lian came back from the exam, he and Zhuo Wanyan were about the same age, and they were just about to get married.The eldest son is not yet married, and Mrs. Zhang is not anxious about the marriage of her younger son. Anyway, she is her niece, so it is impossible for her to run away. Moreover, Mrs. Jia is willing to keep her daughter at home for a few more years.

At first, it was said that the granddaughter would be brought back after the hot filial piety, but now it has become the filial piety period, Shi Taijun was a little disappointed, but Mrs. Zhang was right. Daiyu’s filial piety period has not yet passed. You can't go out even when you come here, so you have to keep your filial piety behind closed doors, it's better to stay at home, the place is more familiar, and you can fulfill your filial piety to your parents. She is young, and it is okay to take her to Beijing for education in two years .

When Jia Min left, Jia's family was full of grief, and the topic of Jia Hu's marriage was shelved. Besides, she couldn't show filial piety to her married aunt, but she was a real aunt, and she had to avoid it.When it comes to Shi Taijun wanting to bring Lin Daiyu home, Jia Hu didn't care at first, she is just a little girl, his mother can take care of her, and she can be with Yingchun as a company, which is very good.Then Jia Hu thought about it, no, if Lin Daiyu came to the house, she would meet Jia Baoyu, their love tragedy is the main thread of Dream of Red Mansions, things are a bit troublesome.

Because he is the protagonist of the story, Jia Hu has always paid close attention to Jia Baoyu's growth process.He was raised by Shi Taijun's side since he was a child, and he didn't have much contact with his biological mother, Wang, so he only met each other during New Years and holidays. The closest person is his sister Yuanchun.Jia Baoyu was very smart, which Jia Hu could not deny. When he was three or four years old, he was taught thousands of words by Yuan Chun. Compared with Jia Zhu of the same age, he was obviously better.If it hadn't been for Shi Taijun who made a lot of noise about Jia Baoyu being born with a jade and a natural vision, Jia Hu would be happy to see a smart cousin.

But the impact of that incident was so bad that when Jia Baoyu was catching Zhou, he was lured to grab the rouge and water rice, and spread a very bad reputation, which was offset.So Jia Hu was depressed, it didn't matter that Jia Baoyu was smart, Yuan Chun dared to teach him anything, it really taught him to be as motivated as Jia Zhu, it's no wonder that people didn't remember what happened back then.Fortunately, the age gap between Yuanchun and Jia Baoyu was quite large. Before Jia Baoyu was formally enlightened, she entered the palace. After that, Jia Hu had someone coax Jia Baoyu to play every day, making him happy.

Jia Hu has no sense of guilt at all for trying to raise Jia Baoyu. God knows if the collapse of the Jia family has anything to do with him. He dare not take risks. As long as the Jia family does not collapse, he can raise this cousin for the rest of his life and be played by him. It's too late to regret it when it's over.

Jia Hu's work was very secretive, Shi Taijun didn't notice, and she always believed that Jia Zhu's body was ruined by studying, so if Jia Baoyu didn't like it, let him do whatever he wanted.With Shi Taijun and Jia Hu cooperating internally and externally, Jia Zheng was powerless with this son.

In this way, Jia Baoyu grew up happily until he was six years old. He didn't even go to the family school, and played with the little girl every day.Jia Hu is very happy to see Jia Baoyu like this, but the premise is that he and Lin Daiyu must not be together. Let’s not talk about whether they are compatible or not. That is the main line of the story.

Shi Taijun was partial to Jia Baoyu the most. If Lin Daiyu really came, it would be difficult for the two of them to meet each other. They are not yet seven years old, not even old enough to avoid taboos.Childhood sweethearts are not uncommon in this era. Jia Lian and Zhuo Wanyan are like this. Jia Hu once thought whether their bloodlines are too close, cousins, which is not conducive to prenatal and postnatal care.It's a pity that Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Jia have made up their minds, and his persuasion doesn't work. Fortunately, Mrs. Jia She and Mrs. Jia are half brothers and sisters, only half of the same blood relationship, and the next generation may be a little better.

So Jia Hu wrote a letter to Jia Lian, asking him to take the provincial examination in the south of the Yangtze River before returning. In this way, it would take at least two and a half years for Lin Daiyu to come to the capital.At that time, Jia Baoyu was eight years old, and Lin Daiyu was seven years old, and they definitely couldn't see each other often. Jia Hu calculated very accurately.

Jia Lian has always liked Jiangnan, and he thought about it since he hadn't been there for several years. He heard that it would be okay to live there for two years, so he agreed immediately.

Things at home were settled temporarily, and Jia Hu started to go to work in Zhan Shifu. I have to say that office romance is still very good. Going to work every day is like a date. Even if you can't do anything, at least you can see Situ Jing, just for Jia Hu was very satisfied with this.

After living in peace for more than half a year, battle reports were sent from the east coast, saying that the Japanese pirates repeatedly invaded, killing, burning, looting, and committing all kinds of crimes.

Jia Hu immediately became angry, saying that the damn little Japan should be killed so that they never come back. Others were a little surprised to see him filled with righteous indignation.After all, as early as the former dynasty, Japanese pirates' invasion of the country was a very troublesome thing along the east coast.They come and go, and land in different places every time. When they land, they kill everyone they see and rob everything they see.With such a long coastline and so many landing points, it is impossible for the imperial court to station troops everywhere, and it is simply impossible to defend against.

Jia Hu also felt that his reaction was a bit extreme, so he sat down and didn't speak. He can't be blamed for this. It is impossible for any Chinese born after the twentieth century not to hate that small island country, especially when they came to commit crimes. It was an instinctive reaction for Hu to fight back.
