[Red House] Jia Yun's leisurely life
Chapter 40
It has been eight years since I left the capital, and now I have returned to the capital to settle down. It is inevitable to visit relatives and old friends.
The Rongning Second Mansion is the most outstanding two houses of the Jia family, especially the Ningguo Mansion is still the direct branch of the Jia family, and Jia Zhen is the current patriarch of the Jia family.
In the end, Jia Yun decided to go to Ningguo Mansion first and meet the patriarch before talking about it. After all, unless you want to separate the clan on your own, otherwise, you absolutely cannot leave the clan.
There are different seats for men and women, Youshi receives Mrs. Jia, and Jia Yun follows the servant to see Jia Zhen.
Speaking of which, Jia Yun still had to call Jia Zhen her uncle, but they were not that familiar, so Jia Yun called Jia Zhen patriarch directly.
"You don't have to be so polite, we are all the flesh and blood of the family." Jia Zhen herself was not used to hearing the title of patriarch suddenly. Usually, he would ask the old lady of Rongguo Mansion first about any important matters. Nothing much to do.
"Yun has been away from Beijing for a long time, and I haven't seen the patriarch for a long time, so I was excited for a while." Jia Yun said, his teeth were sour.
Jia Zhen was very happy. He was young, and few people respected him so much. Jia Yun's words made him very happy. If Jia Yun hadn't acted like a nerd, he would have wanted to include Jia Yun in his circle up.
"You are very good. The Jia family has finally produced another scholar." Jia Zhen sighed. Her father was the first Jinshi of the Jia family, but he went to a Taoist temple to practice alchemy.
The last time Jia's family was selected as a Juren, he also studied in Jinling. Could it be that Jinling is an outstanding place, and it is easy to become a scholar? Shouldn't the son be sent to Jinling, at least to inherit his father's tradition of being a scholar?
Jia Zhen's thinking has already turned Jinling, and she still has Jia Rong's idea.
"I just read more books. Isn't Jia Rong also reading? I don't know where he is. When will he be free to discuss the books of sages?" Jia Yun said with a smile. People of his same generation.
"It's his good fortune that you think highly of him." Jia Zhen said, this is what he said in his heart, he knows exactly how capable his son is, "Look where the young master is, let him come over."
The tea in Ningguo Mansion is still very fragrant. Jia Rong has arrived before the tea in the cup is finished. When she comes in, she greets Jia Zhen first, with an honest and pleasing expression.
Sure enough, are the father and son of the Jia family all like this?A son meeting his father is like a mouse meeting a cat.
"Go and meet your elder brother Yun. He used to live on the back porch. You played together when you were young." Jia Zhen pointed to Jia Yun and said to Jia Rong.
Live in the back porch?Jia Yun?For a moment, Jia Rong couldn't believe that this person who looked like a scholar was Jia Yun.
Concentrating, Jia Rong greeted Jia Yun, but her ability to conceal her emotions was not good enough, and her face was a little distorted.
"Oh, by the way, where do you live now?" Jia Zhen asked. He didn't care about these things before, but now he feels that he and Jia Yun can still talk, so of course he should care.
"I bought a house in Jinquan District, and it's comfortable to live in." Jia Yun smiled and said, Jia Zhen finally knew that as the patriarch, she should care about her fellow clan.
Housing prices in the capital are not cheap. Although there are some small officials living together in Jinquan District, most of them belong to the Hanlin Academy, and the expensive ones are not good.
Youshi had already sent someone to say hello to Rongguo Mansion, so Jia Yun got up to leave. What he didn't know was that after he left, Jia Zhen stared at Jia Rong for a long time, and Jia Rong thought she had done something wrong again. What is there to be punished for?
"Yun'er, this is your Aunt Zhen." Mrs. Jia said to Jia Yun with a smile. It seems that their meeting just now was very pleasant.
Jia Yun glanced at Youshi, she was still a young daughter-in-law.
"Jia Yun met Auntie."
"This is the new recruit from our Jia family. He really is a good-looking talent." Youshi looked at Jia Yun from top to bottom, and boasted, "I don't know which girl will be cheaper."
"When the time comes, I need your help as elders." Mrs. Jia smiled. It's time to start preparing for her son's marriage. I have been away from Beijing for so long. It is always good to have someone to help. Besides, Ningguo Mansion is in the capital. The people who communicate with each other in China are also wealthy.
It doesn't mean that you must find a daughter-in-law from a wealthy family, but if you can find a good one, your son will also have a good wife to take care of him in the future.
Youshi nodded, secretly sighing in his heart that his two sisters could not get on the stage.
"Old lady, Grandma Zhen, Mrs. Fifth and Master Yun are here."
As soon as Jia Yun and the others arrived at the door, someone sent a message inside, and after a while, someone greeted them and opened the curtain to let them in.
Another greeting is over.You Shi laughed and said, "The old lady enjoys it."
The old lady on the seat was full of silver hair, with a kind smile on her face, lying on her side, two little girls were beating her legs gently, one girl was peeling grapes beside her, and the old lady was eating casually from time to time.
At this moment, the old lady had already started to do it, and said with a smile: "Since when did you grow a sharp mouth? This young man is Brother Yun, he is really handsome."
"Thank you, old lady, for your compliment." Jia Yun laughed. The old lady started as a great-grandson daughter-in-law, and finally she is now the old Fengjun, the super-ranked lady, and her every move has a different aura.
"I can't compare to Baoyu. I heard that Baoyu was born with a good jade. He is indeed born rich and noble. He will definitely have a future." Mrs. Jia laughed. When Baoyu was born, not all the people in the clan were surprised. Is it okay?
"Baoyu is a good person, but she is too delicate." The old lady said so, but she was the one who spoiled Baoyu the most in the whole house.
"Old lady, the master invites Master Yun to come over." Xiaohong came in and said, she saw Jia Yun sitting at the side at a glance, thinking that this Jia Yun was not very similar to the man from Jia's family.
"That's it, then you can take Brother Yun to see the master." The old lady agreed.
Along the way, Xiaohong was secretly looking at Jia Yun, but Jia Yun seemed not aware of it, and let her look at her.
The place where the housekeeper lives is Rongxitang, so he will be there in a while.He also sent a post to Jia Amnesty, but Jia Amnesty knew that Jia Yun was a scholar, so he just used an excuse to ignore it.
Seeing that Jia Yun kept quiet and didn't say a word along the way, and she didn't seem to flatter her, Xiaohong couldn't help being a little disappointed, but after thinking about it, she was indeed different from other families.
Jia Zheng was waiting for him in the study, and at the same time there were a few Qing Ke raised by him, discussing something together.
Jia Yun went in, glanced casually at the decoration of the study, famous calligraphy and paintings, high-quality inkstones, and antiques that were playing around. It really is the most noble master of the Jia family.
"Brother Yun is here, come in quickly." Jia Zheng was in a good mood, and the guests just now were flattering him openly and secretly, especially when it came to Baoyu.Don't look at him usually beating or scolding Baoyu, the expectation of Baoyu in his heart is not false.
Jia Yun blinked and saw clearly that there was a painting on the table, and it turned out that they were discussing this painting.
"Okay." Jia Yun smiled and walked over gently, Qing Ke automatically stepped aside so that he could see the paintings on the table.
"Just now we were looking at whether this painting is genuine or a fake, please tell me, Brother Yun." Jia Zheng stroked his beard and smiled.
"Actually, I don't know much about calligraphy and painting, but this painting should be fake, but the skill of copying is really good." Jia Yun laughed and didn't look at it seriously.
"How do you know it's a copy?" One of Qing Ke frowned, said with some displeasure, and looked quite nervous.
Jia Yun glanced at him, and under the eyes of everyone, said slowly: "I saw the original work a while ago, it's in the collection room of the Hu family."
Jia Yun chuckled, and everyone could see the change in their expressions.
"Is it Hu Gong's Hu family?" Jia Zheng asked eagerly.
"Yes, it happened that I was lucky enough to go in and take a look." Jia Yun said, never expecting that the trip to the Hu family could be used here.
"No wonder..."
"How do you know that the Hu family's painting is not fake?" the Qingke asked sharply, his breath a little unsteady.
Everyone frowned after hearing this, and the Qing guests who came with them all planned to alienate this person in the future.
And the cleaner regretted it after he finished speaking.
Everyone knows that the Hu family has always been a scholarly family, and it has never declined. Of course, there will be no unfilial descendants to sell their paintings.
Today they will discuss whether this painting is genuine because the Qingke said that the origin of this painting may not be very clear, and they thought it was obtained from special channels. If everyone has seen the real thing, then there is no need to doubt the authenticity of this painting.
"Zhi Yu probably drank too much." Someone said so, and rolled up the picture on the table.
The matter passed like this, and Jia Zheng began to investigate Jia Yun's knowledge.
For the sake of the elders, Jia Yun cooperated with him to be a junior. In fact, she has been complaining in her heart all the time. It is really cheeky for a scholar to examine the knowledge of a juren.
Stopping with unfinished thoughts, Jia Zheng was very satisfied with me, and the guests began to flatter me, saying that the Jia family had produced another hero.
"You are very good. Baoyu needs to learn from you. You are all about the same age. In the future, you will guide him a lot in learning." Jia Zheng laughed.
"Well, I'm afraid not. I heard that Baoyu has always lived with girls. Here, men and women have different seats at seven years old." Jia Yun lowered her head, nervous, ashamed, and somewhat regretful that she shouldn't have spoken out.
Jia Zheng's face darkened in an instant, and the guests all lowered their heads, not daring to look at Jia Zheng.
"Is this how it's spread outside?" Jia Zheng gritted his teeth and asked, he only felt that the Jia family's reputation had been ruined by Baoyu.
Everyone didn't speak, but the expressions on the faces of one or two Qing customers showed that what Jia Yun said was correct.
Of course Jia Zheng knew that what Jia Yun said was probably true. After all, Jia Yun had only just arrived in the capital, and Jia Yun would not have known if it hadn't been widely spread.
"Go and tell your wife that we have to go home early." Jia Yun smiled and asked Qing Mo to find Mrs. Jia.
Now we can't take care of Sister Lin openly, but we can separate Sister Lin from Baoyu.
It wasn't that he wanted to break them up. The teacher never asked Daiyu to get engaged to Baoyu, so he knew what the Lin family was thinking.
This time, after Jia Zheng inquires clearly about the rumors outside, Baoyu will definitely be removed from the Grand View Garden, and he will definitely be watched closely. A person like Jia Zheng who cares about face, especially has a daughter in the palace Well, this time it's not that Baoyu can escape with the old lady Jia protecting her casually.
The Rongning Second Mansion is the most outstanding two houses of the Jia family, especially the Ningguo Mansion is still the direct branch of the Jia family, and Jia Zhen is the current patriarch of the Jia family.
