The Young Master of the Jia Family in the Red Chamber

When Jia Wei was three years old, Situ Jing asked Jia Hu if he would like to study in the palace school. He only had one son, Situ Rui. In the current palace school, there are mainly his cousins—the princess. The trend of the county princess entering the palace to study is thanks to Princess Jinxiu - with Situ Rui and Situ Lianyi covering her, no one would dare to bully Jia Wei.Jia Hu thought for a while, and declined politely. He said that Jia Wei was still young, and it would be too hard to get up early every day to go to the palace. OK.

Seeing that Jia Hu's words were sincere and reasonable, Situ Jing didn't insist. Anyway, even if he didn't study in the palace, he often saw Jia Wei, and the twins had no younger siblings, so he treated Jia Wei as his own younger brother and loved him. When you go to study in the palace, you have to be more restrained.

Mrs. Zhang is not the kind of mother-in-law who is obsessed with power and clings to the power of the housekeeper. On the contrary, she has long hoped to have a daughter-in-law who can share the burden of giving.Therefore, as soon as Zhuo Wanyan came in, she began to slowly hand over the family affairs to her, along with Yingchun and Daiyu along with her.The girls in their family are destined not to marry into ordinary families, even if they are not the mistresses, they have to take care of the affairs in their own yard.Zhuo Wanyan is the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Fushun, she learned a lot from her mother at home, so she got started very quickly.

If Zhuo Wanyan hadn't given birth to two sons in succession three years after entering the door, Zhang's transfer of account books would have proceeded more smoothly.After Jia Wei and Jia Rui were born, Mrs. Zhang completely let go of the housekeeper's responsibility, and handed everything over to her daughter-in-law.

The same is true for Jia Amnesty, he used to be the head of the family, Jia Hu and Jia Lian were young, and no matter how they didn't like the family property, they had to take care of it themselves, otherwise what would happen if they were all moved to the second room by Shi Taijun.Later, when Jia Hu grew up, he was very capable if he was capable, but he was too busy to take care of family affairs, and Jia She could not count on him.Fortunately, there is Jia Lian, who is not as good as his elder brother in reading. He failed the Jinshi examination twice, so he simply gave up and took the special examination of the Ministry of Households. Position.

Jia Lian was very sensitive to numbers, and others were upset by the complicated accounts of the household department, but he was like a fish in water and could calculate clearly, so he was appreciated by his superiors.This is true of business affairs, not to mention family affairs. Since the property of the Jia family was changed to Jia Lian, the annual profit has increased by at least [-]%, which made Jia Amnesty regret it.If he had known this, he should have let go earlier, so that he could relax and the family could earn more money.

When Jia Wei was three years old, he went to home school to study. He was very interested in this matter. He listened carefully every day without talking, and even taught his younger brother when he got home, so that Jia Rui could recite his homework.Later, Mrs. Zhang saw that her two grandsons were sticky, so she simply sent Jia Rui to Jia Wei for company.

Not long after Jia Rui entered the family school, Wang's third sister who married into Xue's family in Jinling encountered a trouble, and wrote her a letter for help.

In the past, Mrs. Wang wouldn't worry about such a thing at all, just take out the name card in the mansion and say hello to someone, it's not worth anything.But not now, ever since she was found out that she used the official money to go out for interest, her status in the Jia family has plummeted. Not only that, even her brother Wang Ziteng, who has always loved her, is also involved Afterwards he distanced himself from her.

Today, the Jia family is very good in the eyes of outsiders. Jia She was promoted to the Duke of the State because of Jia Hu. Must be reused, the future is limitless.It's a pity that all of these belonged to the eldest room and had little to do with the second room. When Mrs. Wang went out occasionally, they would not neglect her for the sake of the Rongguo Mansion, but they would not get too close.The reason for this is simple, Jia Hu and Jia Lian are both children of the eldest room, while the second room is just a worthless Jia Baoyu, the difference is too great.

However, the matter of the Xue family is neither big nor small.After Situ Yan came to the throne, he vigorously encouraged overseas trade, and the status of merchants rose compared to before. However, the Xue family that Wang's younger sister married was still an imperial merchant, so the status was even different.The Xue family was originally wealthy, and when the Tai and Zu emperors conquered the world, they even sponsored money, so the ancestors of the Xue family got the title of Ziwei Sheren after the founding of the country.Xue Jian, the patriarch of this generation, is even more visionary and courageous. He bought a boat early and went to sea, and he did not know how much money he earned from the sea trade.

It can be said that compared to the Wang family who gave interest money for thousands of taels of silver, Aunt Xue never worried about money before Xue Jian passed away, and she could spend it as she wanted. Can't run out.Xue Jian was good at everything, but he was not good at all, and his life was not long. After he died, the Xue family was in chaos.With such a capable patriarch gone, who will lead everyone to continue to make money? Xue Jian’s only son, Xue Pan, has been spoiled by Aunt Xue for a long time, and Xue Jian is busy with business and has no time to discipline him.

After several years of disputes, the Xue family finally divided the property. As the only son of the former patriarch, Xue Pan got the big head.The most profitable industry of the Xue family is maritime trade, but that is really not something ordinary people can play with, at least Xue Pan does not have that ability, so Aunt Xue, on the suggestion of her brother Wang Ziteng, distributed ships and other related industries to the clan. , and left a large amount of fertile land and excellent land for Xue Pan. These things are easier to manage, as long as Xue Pan is not too extravagant, it is enough for several generations of them to squander.

Xue Jian had few heirs, and besides Xue Pan, he had only one daughter, whose baby name was Baochai.Aunt Xue was worried that her orphans and widows would be bullied, so she planned to return to live in the capital. Her brothers and sisters were all in the capital, and they were obviously closer than the members of the Xue family.

Unexpectedly, on the eve of returning to Beijing, Xue Pan caused trouble and came out. He fell in love with a girl who was sold by a kidnapper, so he insisted on buying it.It's not a big deal, but it's just a matter of spending some money, Xue Pan doesn't take it seriously.But the problem is that the kidnapper has no professional ethics. Before he sold the girl to Xue Pan, he had already sold her once, to a squire named Feng Yuan.Xue Pan was born in a wealthy family. He got what he wanted since he was a child. There is nothing in his world that cannot be bought with money, even a girl. As long as he likes it, he will buy it.

Because Feng Yuan insisted on refusing to give in, Xue Pan, who had always been domineering, ordered someone to beat him to death, and then he was taken into custody by the local government.Aunt Xue has only Xue Pan, a single seedling, seeing him causing trouble, she can't think of a way, but although the Xue family is rich, but no one is in the official position, she has a lot of money, and Xue Pan can only make Xue Pan suffer less , but cannot save people.Aunt Xue was in a hurry, so she wrote to her brothers and sisters to ask for help. In her opinion, both the Jia family and the Wang family were gaining power, and they would definitely be able to help their son out. Spending a few more coins was nothing.

I don't want Wang Ziteng to be sent to the north by Situ Yan to patrol the border last year. He is not in the capital at all, and Wang's, she just brags to Aunt Xue in the letter. In fact, she is in Jia's house and has no right to speak for a long time. Zheng was dismissed from office again, how could he help with this.Thinking of this, Wang couldn't help complaining that her nephew was troublesome, if it wasn't for Xue Pan's troubles, how could she be so embarrassed.In fact, it's not that Mrs. Wang can't push this matter away, just tell Aunt Xue that there is nothing she can do, but she can't afford to lose face, so she refuses to say it for a long time.

Besides, Mrs. Wang still has a lot of calculations in her heart, that is, the Xue family is rich, and very rich. If she helps to rescue Xue Pan, Aunt Xue will definitely thank her.After thinking about it, Wang quietly told Shi Taijun, but what she said was of course not the truth, she only said that Xue Pan was wronged.Shi Taijun was old, and when he heard that it was a relative's child who was wronged, he said that he couldn't ignore it, and told Jia Hu about the matter, asking him to help find out.Jia Hu readily agreed, but felt very depressed in her heart, this Wang family is really a troublesome spirit, and troubles keep happening.

Originally, Jia Hu didn't want to care about the affairs of Wang's relatives, but thinking about the matter of the four major families, he reluctantly asked people to ask.This question does not match what Wang said, Xue Pan was not wronged, it is clear that he personally ordered people to beat him to death.

Jia Hu immediately raised his vigilance, the embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in an ant's nest, maybe the Jia family in the original book was protecting the Xue family.Beating people to death is nothing when the family is prosperous, and you can get by with a little money, but it is also a straw when it is declining.

He didn't know anything about the plot of the original novel, so he could only cover it up with soldiers.In order to prevent problems before they happen, Jia Hu asked the people in his hometown to help him find out what happened in detail, and learned that Xue Pan was definitely not wronged, so he sent people to the government to say hello and deal with business as usual.

What's even more amazing is that during the process of investigation, the life experience of the abducted girl surfaced. Knowing that his biological father became a monk with a monk, and there was an old mother at home, Jia Hu directly sent her to the When they got home, they gave some silver taels to their mother and daughter.

Officials in this era are basically admitted by studying hard in the cold window. Unless they are greeted by important figures who cannot be offended, most of them can still enforce the law impartially. Especially in cases like Xue Pan, the process is very clear, that is, The Jia family and the Wang family are not easy to mess with.

The magistrate of Jinling did not punish Xue Pan for a long time. Firstly, the money given by the Xue family played a role, and secondly, because of their two powerful relatives, he could not afford to offend.Unexpectedly, the people from Jia's family who came to greet him said that the prefect of Jinling was happy to let him do business, and immediately sentenced Xue Pan to exile.

Aunt Xue waited hard for several months, and she fainted when she got such a result.When she woke up, she wrote a letter to Wang, asking her why she did this. Wang was also stunned when she received the letter. Didn't Jia Hu agree to help? How could this be the result.Mrs. Wang couldn't question Jia Hu face to face, so she asked Shi Taijun to ask, but Jia Hu said innocently, didn't they say that Xue Pan was innocent, so he asked someone to tell, this matter must be thoroughly investigated to the end. When the truth came out, who knew that Xue Pan was not wronged, and it turned out like this.

Wang was speechless for a moment, knowing that the relationship between herself and her younger sister could never be restored. At first, she was thinking that the girl from the Xue family was no more than two years older than his Baoyu. Yes, now it is empty, there is no possibility anymore.

No matter how unwilling Aunt Xue was, Xue Pan also embarked on the road of exile. She took her daughter around to manage, just to make the journey easier for her son.After Xue Pan left, the mother and daughter who planned to return to the capital changed their minds and stayed in Jinling. Compared with uncle and aunt, Xue Baochai still felt that the tribe was more reliable.Moreover, with the development of various factories in the south of the Yangtze River, more and more women are leaving their homes to work. There are also old-fashioned people who say that they are immoral, but they can't stand the high wages. For most people, reputation is not as important as benefits.

It is under this atmosphere that some families in the south of the Yangtze River have begun to let their daughters or daughter-in-laws come out to do business, because they find that women's business is more effective if it is done by women, especially gold and silver jewellery, rouge, water and rice, and Clothing and other industries.

The Xue family is very conservative in some respects, no matter how incompetent Xue Pan is, Xue Baochai has no chance to contact the family business.But now, Xue Pan has been exiled for three thousand miles. If Xue Baochai can no longer come out to take charge of affairs, it will be tantamount to distributing his family's property to the tribe for nothing.
