Jia Hu of the Red Chamber

There are people who worry about the historian's affairs, Jia Hu sneered and put it aside, continuing to plan Jia Lian's future.

This time, Jia Lian did not continue to study.According to the words of his uncle Zhou Ze, Jia Lian didn't take his schoolwork to heart, no matter how hard others tried to force him, it would be half the effort, so why not find another way for him to go.

Although Jia Hu hopes that his younger brother will become a dragon, he also understands that Jia Lian would not have the effort to become an official through the imperial examination without going through all kinds of hardships.Since the cow refuses to drink water, he doesn't have to force his head down.

After sitting under the lamp all night with the gauze quilt wrapped around her, Jia Hu discussed with his uncle Zhou Ze on the second day, and asked Jia Lian to take care of the manor and fields left by his late mother Zhou and the shop in Beijing.

After all, it is the most legitimate and appropriate for the two brothers Jia Hu and Jia Lian to take care of Zhou's dowry.Zhou's family helped take care of it before, so it was always a bit inconvenient to deal with.

Zhou Ze also thought that he could use this matter to test Jia Lian, to see if he was not successful in school and whether he had some talent in general affairs.

As soon as the discussion with his uncle was settled, Jia Hu called Jia Lian to his room.

Desiring to grind Jia Lian's temper, Jia Hu didn't talk about business, but asked him some trivial matters, and seeing that Jia Lian didn't have a trace of impatience, he gradually brought up business.

"Tomorrow, I will ask my uncle to tell my second uncle that since Zhu'er and I are both Xiaolian, then the quota will be given to you. This year you will end up, and if you don't win the prize, you don't have to go out of the study room, and you will spend the year with the book. That's it."

A word was spoken softly and slowly, but it was as if a thunderbolt had struck Jia Lian's heart, making him tremble. When he stole a look at his elder brother, he saw a face that was [-]% similar to his own, covered with frost.

With a shock, Jia Lian couldn't help swallowing those excuses, and replied politely: "Listen to brother, I will start preparing right now, and I will never lose my uncle's reputation."

Only then did Jia Hu nodded in satisfaction, and said what he was thinking: "I know you don't like studying, and I hope you will be happy and worry-free every day, but fame is so important, how can it make you start a family for nothing? What's more, uncle also said It’s not a problem for you to be a scholar in your knowledge. You must study hard in the past few months, and then follow me to meet the shopkeepers of the mother’s dowry shop at two o’clock in the afternoon every day. When you win, all these shops will be taken care of by you , I don't care anymore."

At first Jia Lian told Jia Hu to teach her to lower her head, but when Jia Hu changed the subject, Jia Lian was surprised and delighted, and suddenly raised her head, making the bones in her neck brittle.

Jia Hu was startled, and was about to ask Jia Lian if it hurt, when Jia Lian stood up excitedly.

"Brother must keep his word! I will definitely win!"

Zhenzhen had a hearty smile and a high spirit, as if wishing he could end tomorrow so that he could display his skills.

Of course Jia Hu knew that Jia Lian was born to be close to the abacus account books, and loved merchants, and didn't bother to see him insane. You will sleep on the inkstone on New Year's Eve this year."

Threatened and lured, Jia Lian immediately obeyed obediently and went back to the room to study hard. After a while, he clamored to take out the questions given by his uncle to solve the composition, which made all the maids very surprised.

After dismissing Jia Lian, Jia Hu suddenly felt refreshed.

——Jia Hu pondered for a long time, and felt that Jia Lian finally understood the truth in his heart, but he was still lacking in actions.Since Jia Lian likes business affairs, he might as well let him deal with the shopkeepers at home. First, he can practice dealing with people and know some ways of the world. , as long as he has the identity of a juren, it will be easier to recommend him to be an official in the future.

The plan in his heart became the first step, and Jia Hu would never be stingy about rewarding himself. It was the beginning of summer, so he put his books on the desk, dressed in a gauze dress and a folding fan, and went to the garden to enjoy the lotus and cool off.

I didn't want to bypass the main courtyard, and met my second cousin Zhou Zi, Zhou Zi was still holding Zhou Lin's eldest son Chang'an in his arms.

Just as Jia Hu taught Jia Lian to concentrate on working hard, when someone caught him taking a break from his busy schedule, he was very embarrassed, and his smile became a little embarrassing.

Chang An was not yet five years old, and it was the time when he loved to play and make trouble. On weekdays, he liked Jia Hu, a kind and beautiful little cousin, more than his serious second uncle Zhou Zi, and today he was bored around Zhou Zi again. For half a day, I was really happy to see Jia Hu, and even though my second uncle and little cousin looked a little weird, they stretched out their hands to hug Jia Hu.

Zhou Lin got the only seedling of Chang'an at a young age, and the whole family has the eyes of a baby, and now he doesn't even dare to get a big name, because he is afraid that he will not grow up.

As soon as he made a sound, Zhou Zi didn't care to smile at Jia Hu, and Jia Hu didn't care to be ashamed, and hurriedly coaxed this little ancestor together.

But Changan felt that the little cousin was very boring at the moment, he was not happy with his mouth curled up, his hands and feet fluttered from time to time, and it didn't take long for him to leave a few shoe prints on Jia Hu's blue clothes, and he took a stack of lotus flowers on the fifth day of the lunar new year It's good to coax him.

With the snacks, Chang'an didn't care about his little cousin, and just ate flower cakes around the fifth day, and asked the fifth and sixth days to play with him.

Zhou Zi and Jia Hu were left alone together, feeling a bit of sympathy for each other, and they forgot the embarrassment when they first met.

"It's hard for you to be patient. The nephews of the sister-in-law's family and the younger brothers of the third uncle's family, none of them can stand the little magic star Chang'an. Even the eldest brother has had a headache for a long time, and he has to deal with him many times."

Zhou Zi and his elder brother Zhou Lin have a very deep relationship, so naturally they love their elder brother's only son very much. He is very happy that Jia Hu can treat Chang'an so well.

Jia Hu was smiling and watching Chang'an's envoy Chu Liu do things. Hearing the words, his face became softer, as if he was afraid of disturbing Chang'an, he replied softly: "I think Chang'an is pure and natural, very cute. Children are not naughty."

In fact, Jia Hu had secretly thought about how long the Zhou family could protect the two brothers, and how long they could support each other when the brothers became adults in the future.

Now the two uncles pity them for losing their mother when they were young, and take care of them more, and betroth their cousin to him. The two families are naturally close.But in another ten or twenty years, there is no guarantee that one day they will gradually become estranged.

Especially, at the moment it can be said that the Zhou family is helping the big house of Rongfu, but they are of no benefit to the Zhou family.It doesn't matter if Chang'an is young, when Big Brother Lin is old, he and Lian'er are in their prime, so they can just help Chang'an and return their uncle and cousin's kindness.

Coming and going is the way for relatives to get along.

Seeing the sincerity of Jia Hu's words, Zhou Zi felt ironic in his heart, and thought that in the past Jia Hu studied hard and practiced martial arts, treated his father, mother, elder brother and him very respectfully, so he couldn't help getting closer to Jia Hu, He also talked more.

"I heard that Hu'er can't go to the third aunt's mother's house with us for a banquet on the sixteenth day of this month?"

Zhou Zi was very taciturn, and rarely mentioned trivial matters such as banquets and walking around. Jia Hu was a little surprised, but he didn't show it on the face. He just told the truth: "It's not that I don't want to give the third aunt face, it's just a coincidence. I do The family of Zheng Bi, the classmate of the Fifth Highness when he was studying with him, found a position for him, and he will leave Beijing to take up the post when he is sixteen. to see him off."

Zhou Zi also heard the news that Zheng Hanlin sent his youngest son to a local place for training, so he couldn't help but shook his head: "It's fine to send him off. Zheng Hanlin is the upright one, but the times are very bad nowadays, it's not easy to be one parent. "

When the times are good, it will be Zheng Bi's turn.

Jia Hu knew a little bit about Zheng Bi's thoughts, but he couldn't answer this question, so he just smiled and didn't say much.

Zhou Zi didn't want to say more, so he turned to talk about family affairs, and this time his tone was full of teasing.

"As long as you don't go, Lian'er will definitely not go when she hears that she's going to end the show, so much less fun. This time, the third aunt's family invited all the famous theater troupes around to celebrate their old lady's [-]th birthday. Almost everyone in China is going to go. We are in the Rong Mansion, but we are visiting on the same day."

Wednesday's wife, Mrs. Chen, is the granddaughter of Chen Yi, the Duke of Qi, and the direct sister of Chen Ruiwen, General Chen Ruiwen, the current head of the Duke of Qi's mansion.

This time on Wednesday, when the master returned to Beijing, he first served as a fourth-rank Hanlin attendant lecturer, and within three months, he was promoted to the fourth-rank Dali Temple Shaoqing, and then was promoted to the third-rank Shuntian Fujun. Dixin, Mrs. Wednesday is at her most honorable time. Of course, she has to make a face for her mother's family and bring her son, nephew and niece to support her mother's birthday.

The Chen family and the Zhou family are related by marriage, and they are also one of the four princes and eight princes with the Jia family, so the Zhou family and the Jia family met.

I heard that the second wife of the Rong Mansion has already started seeing her for her direct daughter, so she will definitely bring that girl there this time.Mrs. Wednesday has only three sons in her life. She loves her niece Xiao Zhou as her own daughter all these years, so she naturally wants to take Xiao Zhou to Duke Qi's mansion.

On this kind of occasion, of course, a mature and prudent person would not make any troubles to shame everyone, but the two girls are both twelve or thirteen years old, and they are spoiled and spoiled at home. If there is some quarrel, who will suffer a little loss.The tougher ones gritted their teeth, and the softer ones went home and secretly shed a few tears.

Jia Hu couldn't say that he was definitely targeting his cousin, Xiao Zhou, so he had no choice but to touch his nose and not speak, and let Zhou Zi raise his eyebrows to look at her.

On the sixteenth day of this month, Jia Hu, Liu Zhimi, and Jiang Cunxi rode out of the city to send Zheng Bi and his wife Niu Shi off. The fifth prince was unable to leave the palace, so he also sent his servants to carry out Zheng Bi's practice.

Jia Hu's divorce here is desolate, while Yuan Chun in Duke Qi's mansion on the other side paid homage to the ancestors of the Chen family with Mrs. Shi, and was also taken to meet the girls from various mansions, and was exchanging greetings with Xiao Zhou.
