Ai Ruo's life in the red mansion

Daishan invites Dairu and Daixiu to dinner, but Dairu and Daixiu actually don't know what happened.For them, Daishan is said to be their brother of the same clan, but their identities are actually very different, especially Daixiu. Basically, Daishan has never looked for him.Being called together to Jia Zheng's residence, it was strange that they had no idea in their minds.

Dai Confucianism and Dai Xiu entered the room to salute, and sat down as guests of honor. Dai Confucian is a scholar, no matter what he reads, but he must have more eyes than Dai Xiu, but under the pedantic mask of Dai Confucianism, he concealed Not bad.He has always been a gentleman and kept silent to show his identity as a scholar. Generally speaking, in front of Daishan and Daihua, he behaved very indifferently, as if he was on an equal footing with them.

Dai Xiu is different, although he and Dai Shan Dai Hua are of the same generation, but if they can't achieve military success, they just rely on the Ning Rong Second House to live a small life.It's just that he has a high seniority, and everyone gives him some face, but in front of Daishan and Daihua, he has no confidence.As soon as he sat down, he looked left and right, smiled at Dai Shan, "Brother Zheng is pretty good here."

"They are quite filial. They insisted on me coming, and they said that they should not be too much worse than Rongfu. They finally tried their best." Daishan also smiled, looked around, and replied in a gentle voice, whether he likes it or not, You can't lose your son's face.He was very happy now, and called Dai Xiu. With Dai Xiu here, the conversation between him and Dai Confucianism would be much easier.

"Brother Pardon is not bad. Being loyal to the country has finally inherited the mantle of our Jia family." Seeing that Dai Shan was happy, Dai Xiu also said hastily.

"The third old lady asked us to come, is there something wrong?" Dai Ru was too lazy to talk nonsense, in his opinion.Daishan called them here because he must have something to discuss, and it must not be a trivial matter, after all.Among the Jing people, the three oldest people are all here.

"It's okay, I'm old and idle. I just want to sit down with my brothers. I'm old, and there are not many days for my brothers to get together." Daishan smiled, motioned for them to drink tea, and asked people to sit down. meal.

Soon, the eight dishes and one soup regulated by the Rong Mansion were placed in the main room. Ai Ruo did a good job in this, so no matter what, it couldn't make people feel that Dai Shan was wronged in his mansion.Daishan asked them to sit down.He raised an empty wine glass and made a gesture, "Brother Zheng and his wife won't let me drink, you are also on the end of your life, so eat less."

"Brother Zheng's wife is capable." Dai Xiuzi took a sip of his wine.Xiaoyan narrowed her eyes, and said with a smile, "Before, she was the only one who could figure out how to gather the servants to learn the rules. Now, there is no servant who does not say that Rongfu obeys the rules."

"Your brother is doing a good job. She is just afraid of trouble. But it is different from not having learned the rules. Brother Zheng's servants also study. They have studied more deeply than those in Rongfu. It's getting better and better, so it can be seen that you still have to study and be polite." Dai Shan nodded, this topic is good, and the servants in their Rongfu and Zhengge's mansions have all read and learned about etiquette.If the ethnology doesn't change, it's really not as good as a servant.

Dai Xiu nodded, jokingly, Rong Mansion's servant training was done by his son, of course he was going to boast to death.Dai Shan signaled them to eat vegetables, seeing that Dai Ru remained silent, he motioned to the girl next to him to serve Dai Ru a bowl of soup.

"Brother Zheng's wife said that drinking soup before meals is good for your health."

"What kind of soup is this?" Dai Xiu also got a bowl. Looking at the clear bowl of water, there was nothing in it. He worshiped it blindly. .

"The medicinal food for invigorating qi, according to the prescription prescribed by the imperial physician, is said to be very good for the body. I think it's okay after taking it, so you should try it too."

"The smell of medicine is not strong!" Dai Xiu said exaggeratedly after taking a big sip.

"Brother Zheng's daughter-in-law said that of course the food must be delicious, otherwise no one will eat it! If you like it, ask them to copy the recipe for you later, and you can make it when you go back. The ingredients are not very expensive, but the effect is excellent." Nodding with a smile on his face, he drank the soup before asking for more food.

"Third brother looks much better now." Dai Xiu laughed hurriedly.

"Have a comfortable life! How are you? Are the children obedient?" Dai Shan looked at Dai Xiu. Why didn't he find that Dai Xiu was a good person before?

"It's not bad. I already have grandsons, so why don't you listen to me? It's my grandson. My elder grandson doesn't seem to be able to study well. Sixth, do you think my grandson is a student?" Dai Xiu looked at Daishan's attitude towards him Well, I started talking casually, thinking of my grandson, and hurriedly looked at Dairu.In normal times, Confucianism didn't pay much attention to him. If he wanted to ask him, he didn't have a chance to speak up. Now that he was here, with Daishan's backing, he naturally dared to speak up.

"You said he won't make it, so what are you asking?" Dai Ru said coldly, not seeing Dai Xiu's flattery.

"What are you talking about? You have no grandson, right?" Dai Xiu has always looked down on Dai Ru as a hypocrite. He is not like him, but a side branch. Why should he look superior to others.Normally, he would have endured it, but today, Daishan seemed to be in a good mood, and he was not as indifferent to himself as before, he was more courageous, and shouted.

Dai Ru's son was still sick, and Dai Ru was already full of anger, but when he was called to drink this unknown wine, Dai Ru was already unhappy, and he slapped his chopsticks with a hard face.He doesn't speak, but his attitude means everything.

"Okay, how old are you?" Daishan waved his hands, but still said to Dairu, "The sixth and fourth are worried about their grandson, and there is a reason for it. You are a big man, so don't compare with him."

"Anyway, the grandson of the Rong Mansion doesn't need to study ethnology, so naturally he shouldn't be in a hurry." Dai Ru moved the corner of his mouth, and said the line that should have been Dai Xiu.Dai Xiu actually thought about it, if Dai Shan spoke instead of Confucianism, he would say that, but he didn't expect Dai Ru to speak first, but he was startled, but Dai Xiu has a principle, that is, what you say is correct, I just said it On the contrary, what he dislikes the most now is that Dai Confucianism is not Dai Shan, so naturally the spearhead is directed at Dai Confucianism.

"That's right. If you teach well, why would the third brother hand over the child to outsiders? By the way, Brother Zheng worked so hard. In your hands, he didn't even pass the exam for a scholar. After going out for a year, warm yourself up." Shu, you are going to be a Jinshi soon, do you have the nerve to say it?" Dai Xiu became mean, he really has the Jia family's inheritance, directly biting Dai Ru's face turned red, and his small eyes immediately became bloodshot.

"Third old masters, please be smart!" Dai Ru stood up directly and arched his hands.Ready to go home.

"You two, I wanted to get together with old brothers, but in the end, you are still the same as when you were young. You will make a fuss when you meet. Eat first. Don't talk about it." Dai Shan held Dai Ru back, and personally brought food for him, and asked Dai Xiu to sit down too. .Let them eat. Fortunately, I just drank the soup and ate a few mouthfuls of the food in front of me. Then I let them leave the table and serve tea to rinse my mouth.

Daishan rinsed his mouth, wiped his mouth, and looked at the two who were still angry.Fu Xu thought about it, "I also know that brother Hu is studying in the Zhang family, which is very embarrassing to the sixth child. But what to do, your sister-in-law has done something stupid. The Zhang family is not forgiving, so send brother Hu to you. In the past, it was also a consolation, no. I don’t really think how well the Zhang family’s family studies are doing.”

"He has been a scholar for several generations, and he has done well." Dai Ru said coldly.

"We have money, so we should do better than them." Dai Xiu said with a jump.

"It was Ning Rong's Second House who paid the money, have you ever paid a penny?" Dai Ru snorted coldly.

"Don't talk about money, if money can be done well, it will be easy. However, there are more and more clansmen in Beijing, and their descendants are flourishing. Is there enough place for ethnology now?" Daishan waved his hand.

"It's enough." It's not good for Dai Confucianism to stop talking about Daishan, after all, Ning Mansion is now back to Jinling's hometown, and the one who can make decisions here is Daishan.It is natural to say, "Although the space is sufficient, the house has not been repaired for several years, and the wind leaks in winter. And..." No matter how pedantic the Confucianism is, the interests that should be fought for oneself should not be forgotten. You know, The money allocated by Ning Rong and the Second Mansion is all allocated to him, and he arranges how to use it.The Ningrong Second House never asked how much he used, so when he had the opportunity, he never forgot to complain and ask for money.This is what Daishan has always known. Just now when he asked, he was waiting for him to complain.So I listened very carefully, what house should be repaired, the desk should be replaced, the pen and ink should be added, although winter has passed, but spring has come, the flowers and trees of the ethnology should also be repaired...

Dai Xiu is not a fool, of course he knows that it is all money, and it is all money that Dai Ru can manage. Dai Ru finally talked about the issue of lunch fees, why outside prices have risen, and when the subsidy before lunch is not enough, Dai Xiu will not listen down.

"Bah, you have the nerve to talk about lunch and snacks, but my grandson says he doesn't have enough to eat." Dai Xiu jumped up.

"That's why the weight will be less." Dai Ru said lightly, he absolutely believed that Dai Shan trusted him.

"Sure enough, there are so many things. It seems that running a school is not easy." Dai Shan nodded, thinking about looking up at Dai Confucianism, "You are also a person of age, and now you are still in charge of ethnology, do you have enough energy?"

Dai Xiu immediately lifted his spirits, he would never let go of such an opportunity.

"That's right, Lao Liu is very stupid in studying. He doesn't know the outside world even if he is deceived by others. The world is so difficult. Tell me, he just concentrates on teaching, and leave the other things to me." Let's do it!"

Dai Hua immediately turned pale, and stared at Dai Xiu, "How much older are you than me, fourth brother!"

"I'm more energetic than you! Look at me, I'm full of energy. It's not a problem to live ten years longer than you." Dai Xiu waved his arms and almost didn't do aerobics, showing that he was strong and healthy.

"Okay, it's all getting old, and what needs to be taken care of should still be taken care of. Now I really feel that at our age, we shouldn't care about anything. We should be at home, cultivate our morality, and play with our grandchildren. Things." Daishan waved his hand, raised his head, and thought about it, "Well, the sixth son has a lot of family affairs, his health is not good, and the family studies, don't worry about it anymore..."

"Third brother..." Dai Xiu's expression brightened, and he was about to recommend himself.

"Are you still young? How can you take care of these trivial matters? I'll ask Brother Zheng to find a few young masters, and leave the small things to them. However, the sixth son has been in charge of ethnology all his life." Even if you think about it, you won't be able to let go of the children. They are all descendants of our Jia family, and we have to rely on them to shine in the future. Don't be too idle for the sixth child, and so is the fourth child. Stay with me and keep an eye on everything. What do you guys think of Jia's family finally doing something?"

"What does that mean?" Dai Xiu didn't understand.

"That is to say, for small things, they are young people to do. For big things, they can't make up their minds, so they can come and ask us. Let's discuss it together. It can be regarded as finding something to do." Daishan said with a smile.

"This is a great idea. It should be like this." Dai Xiu clapped his hands and applauded. Although he didn't mention the money, if he was asked to give him a piece, he would naturally share it.Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Dairu can't control it. If he can't get it himself, he naturally doesn't want Dairu to get it. With this main idea, how can he not applaud it.

Dai Ru gave Dai Shan a cold look. He is not a fool. When it comes to this, he said that he had a sudden whim, and he would not believe that Dai Ru was killed. Without saying a word, he just walked away.

"Third brother!" Dai Xiu pointed at Dai Ru's back, and immediately put on eye drops.

"His brother is not good, and it is understandable that he is in a bad mood. How old are you, and you still quarrel with him every day, are you not afraid of jokes from your children and grandchildren? Someone sent some good tea, you take some back, and then you also send some old six , said it was you who gave it, and there are only a few of us brothers, if we don't get closer, it will be too late." Dai Shan said softly to Dai Xiu.

"Third brother!" Dai Xiuzhen was a little moved, he didn't care about the tea, but his attitude, Dai Shan and Dai Hua didn't have this attitude towards him before, even saying a few more words was annoying.

"Okay, I was busy before and didn't have time to take care of family affairs. Now I'm finally free. I should have a good get-together with you. I remember you can play chess. Come, let's play a few games." Daishan patted lightly Dai Xiu's hand made someone set the chessboard.

The afternoon passed quickly, Dai Xiu was very good at talking, and made Dai Shan very happy. Regardless of whether he played chess well or not, it was very interesting for the two of them to talk about the ancient times and the affairs of the clan together.Daishan also left him for dinner, and gave him a lot of things, but everyone got what he wanted.

When Daixiu left, although Daishan was a little tired, he still called Jia Zheng and Ai Ruo over.

"Tomorrow, please ask a good doctor to go to your sixth uncle's house to take a look for their brother. If there is anything missing, you can fill it for them."

"That's how it should be. The son is not as thoughtful as the father." Jia Zheng laughed immediately.

"In any case, he is your mentor, and you must be courteous. Let Mr. Lu go to the ethnology school tomorrow and teach you some lessons for your sixth uncle. Don't let the children miss the class." Daishan took a sip of sheep. I also squinted my small eyes, it was too bad to drink, but at night it was said that I was going to sleep, so I was not allowed to drink tea, even if I was surrounded by confidantes, but it was exactly the same, I heard that it was good for the old man’s health, and he was not allowed to drink tea. Persuading him to follow the second wife's recipe, Daishan's objection is invalid.

"Yes!" Jia Zheng understood. He said that he was going to take classes for Uncle Liu first, but it was just a nice way of saying it. He was simply getting used to it slowly, and the ethnology had changed.

Ai Ruo didn't speak, just listened quietly on the side, and told herself to listen, and he had already given face, and she didn't need to know these words.

After finishing talking about the ethnology, Daishan looked at Ai Ruo and thought about it: "Minger, you send brother Hu to Zhang's family to study, and tell their old lady that I am getting old too, and I don't want to part with my siblings, but I am afraid that the old lady who misses my in-laws will be like me, she will be reluctant to part with brother Hu, so I ask if it is still possible for brother Hu to study in Zhang's house, but take her back for a reunion the next day."

Ai Ruo was stunned, but immediately understood that the old man was still reluctant to fight against the Zhang family, no matter what, he was helping him.For Jia Hu, the strong support of his uncle is also good for his future, so he nodded in agreement.I believe Jia Hu should be satisfied with such a result!
