Jia Hu of the Red Chamber

Jia Hu was startled, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but look at Anping who was sitting upright behind the case, not sure what he meant.

Although Yingchun and he and Lian'er were not born of the same mother, their biological mother has passed away. At the age of the master Jia She, there are only one daughter in this generation who will have only one daughter, Yingchun.If Anping wanted to bestow any favor on his sister, it would naturally fall on Yingchun.

However, the situation is not stable at this moment, General Yuan repelled the barbarians, and there is also an emperor who thinks that the country is safe and regrets that he is too hasty to take the throne, gesticulates behind him, and is always going to blame Anping for his mistakes. Where is the time for grace?

Jia Hu looked at Shui Qing suspiciously, and Shui Qing also looked up at him, his eyes were clear and calm, if he wasn't acquainted with him, he would definitely miss the faint touch of care contained in it.

"The eldest brother is like a father. Lian'er is a promising person, so you can teach the rest, and it will be your face in the future."

After saying that, Shui Qing slightly raised her hand to stop Jia Hu's unspoken words, and ordered Dai Quan to send Jia Hu out with a smile.

Jia Hu's heart skipped a beat, but on his face he showed a mature and prudent look, bowed respectfully and retreated.

Maybe my second younger sister, who died shortly after she got married in the previous life, will have some good luck in this life. When I go home tonight, I should mention Yingchun's upbringing to my wife. Don't be as dull and weak as in the previous life, and then something will go wrong. , it is not a marriage, but an enemy.

——In Jia Hu's mind, it's probably because Anping thinks there are too few loyal ministers, and he wants to find some good in-laws for their families, so that they can be mutual horns.Although it will take six years for Yingchun and Ji to get married, it is an honor to marry early.What's more, the emperor is in good health, let alone six years, maybe 16 years.

But before going home and telling Zhou Jie not to neglect Yingchun's upbringing, Jia Hu had to have a small gathering with Jiang Cunxi and Liu Zhimi to discuss various affairs in the court.

Ever since the emperor passed on the throne to Jinshang on the pretext of being old, Jia Hu and Shui Qing's companions in the early years seemed to be set on fire.

It's all right when the barbarian army is pressing down on the border. All the important officials in the court can't sleep at night. Help young courtiers?

People who have spent their entire lives in officialdom don't have sharp eyes. As soon as the emperor abdicated, everyone knew that the capital was in danger this time. It can be regarded as pure filial piety, and by the way, it can get rid of the reputation of killing parents and children, after all, the imperial decree was issued by the new emperor.

But the barbarian department was repelled.

The calamity of doom disappeared, and the emperor came back to his senses and was naturally very angry. Even if he couldn't go back and drive Shui Qing off the dragon chair, and he was concerned about his face and never set foot in the main hall, he still put on a posture of pointing the country. Read the memorial before the water was clear, and reprimanded one or two at every turn.

There are quite a few veterans who have no clear connection with the former Concubine Zhen. I'm afraid that Shui Qing's position is too stable at this moment, and they all hold on to the emperor as a life-saving straw, and they will fight against Shui Qing every now and then.

In addition to those who watched the fire from the other side, Shui Qing had few available ministers in the court, and was constrained by the emperor everywhere, and the days of these few companions became more and more difficult.

According to what Shui Qing meant when he ascended the throne, he wanted to raise their ranks and find an opportunity to transfer Zheng Bi back to Beijing, but now the emperor firmly suppressed them.

They don't need to care about the official rank, but they are frequently suppressed when they are about to flex their muscles.

"On a day like this, I don't know when it will end."

Leaning on the railing, Jiang Cunxi drank by himself, looking at the drizzle outside the curtain, he couldn't help sighing, his brows and eyes were full of lingering fatigue.

This is still in the yard set up by Liu Zhimi, if he was outside, he wouldn't even dare to show his tiredness.Even the servants of the six yamen knew that Chief Jiang of the Ministry of Rites was always gentle and refined, and he was the most kind to others. No matter how rude the other party was, he would never blush.

Liu Zhimi glanced at Jiang Cunxi, but did not persuade him to be cautious as usual, but followed Jiang Cunxi's gaze to look between the heavy rain curtains.

Jia Hu survived a hundred times worse days than this in his previous life, but now he is still in the mood to savor Liu's chef's skills.After taking a few mouthfuls, seeing that the two of them still looked worried and stared at the outside in a daze, they couldn't help coughing lightly.

"When it should be sunny, it will naturally be sunny. After all, this rain is not endless."

Smiling with peachy eyes, Jia Hu raised his glass to Jiang and Liu: "The cook of Zhimi's family should be rewarded with a top-notch seal, and the dishes are ready to go with wine."

Liu Zhimi couldn't help but startled.

So far, Jia Zigui, the youngest of the four companions, is the most open-minded when encountering problems. No wonder even the saint entrusts the eldest prince to him and recognizes him as half a gentleman.

If the lord is still the lord at this moment, and the rain is beating on the plantain leaning on the railing to drink, and he and Cunxi will write poems and Fu, but the lord will definitely ask Zigui to pour wine for him.

"Now Zigui is free."

With a change of mood, Liu Zhimi swept away the previous depression, and laughed and teased Jia Hu.

Jia Hu also recalled the private meeting of several people before Shui Qing ascended the throne, and couldn't help smiling.Strange to say, every time they get together in private, Shui Qing will let Liu and Jiang do as they please, preferring to ask him to bring tea and water, and enjoy it.

It's just that time has changed and the world has changed, and there will be differences between monarchs and ministers in the future, so the days when two people compete with each other and watch on the sidelines will no longer exist.

Sighing softly in his heart, Jia Hu talked about the rebellion of several masters of the Zhen family.

I don’t know if it’s because after the emperor’s abdication, he had a lot of time to mourn the spring and autumn, and he remembered the benefits of the late loyal prince. Concubine Jing was favored again. All the men from Zhen's family who were dismissed from office have all recovered one after another, and they seem to be making a comeback.

When the emperor declared Shuiqing to pass by for the Zhen family affairs, none of them drove there, but they could also figure out a thing or two from Shuiqing's forbearance afterwards, not to mention the change in the direction of the wind after the Zhen family revived. .

Even if they are quiet people at the moment, they can't sit still.

Fortunately, Shui Qing took the position in the end and took the righteousness.

After discussing in secret for more than an hour, when it was time for the curfew, Jia Hu left and Jiang Cunxi took a rest directly at Liu Zhimi's place.

After talking for a long time, Jia Hu was really exhausted, and wanted to go back to the house and tell Zhou Jie, telling her to persuade his wife to teach Yingchun to rest, but who knew that he got Baoyu again and ran into Lin's cousin, and the two sides had a quarrel. It's such a bad news.

After Zhou Jie and Jia Hu got married, the piano played harmoniously. Seeing that he was tired at this moment, it was natural to feel distressed, but they all knew who the Lin family sister and brother came to Rongguo Mansion. In this way, she was really worried, so she could only talk to Jia Hu and ask him to make up his mind.

It turned out that Baoyu lost his mind when he saw Miss Lin for some reason, and his two eyeballs were so glued to Miss Lin. On one side, they only circle around Miss Lin, who is accompanied by sisters Ying and Tan.His demeanor was so blatant, anyone present with eyes could see it, Miss Lin, Uncle Lin's face turned red at that moment.

Miss Lin kept her eyes down, unable to see her happiness or anger. Uncle Lin's rosy face was really angry, but the old lady didn't know whether she really couldn't see it or turned a blind eye on purpose, she smiled kindly.

Baoyu quarreled with Qian'er all by herself, bowing to each other with a smile on her face until the end, and suddenly asked Miss Lin if she had any jade.

The in-laws and old relatives of the Ningrong Second Mansion don't know that the second master Bao was born with a jade, and there will be a great fortune in the future, and the jade is also extraordinary. Miss Lin said no, but the master had a fit on the spot. , smashed the jade hard, and turned the old lady's upper room upside down, and shocked her eyes out of the ground.

Uncle Lin's face turned blue at the time, Zhou Jie took a few glances, and the little child's lips trembled a little, I don't know whether it was from shock or anger, and Miss Lin was also terribly frightened, tightly clutching her younger brother's hand , lest Uncle Lin might make a mistake.

Speaking of this, Zhou Jie couldn't help sighing: "It's only the first day, and it's like this. On the ninth day of the first day, I went to the kitchen to get food boxes, and I saw Baoyu standing outside the yard of Lin's cousins, trying to go in and make amends. The girl and woman from the Lin family just refused to let go, saying that Miss Lin and Uncle Lin have all rested, and only the parrot Thrush coming out of the old lady's yard persuaded him a little."

From Zhou Jie's point of view, Erfang's little uncle is really out of character, no wonder the Lin family siblings are annoyed.The old lady, the wife, and the second wife don't care, and it's hard for her cousin to say anything.

As for the gossip about the second wife, Mrs. Wang, in the Lin family's yard during the day, and Baoyu's overbearing girl's rampant behavior, Zhou Jie didn't mention a single word.

If it wasn't for her husband's external affairs, she really didn't want to add to Jia Hu's troubles by talking about trivial matters in the back house.

Jia Hu was so busy these days that she was a little dizzy, and after listening to Zhou Jie's talk, she vaguely remembered that sister Lin had such a trouble when she entered the mansion in her previous life.

Pursing his lips, Jia Hu grabbed Zhou Jie's hand: "I still have to work hard for you, so I'll treat my cousins ​​and cousins ​​in the Lin family. When I leave for office, I'll personally go and annoy Uncle Lin. It's just that have you ever drank calming decoction? But don't be surprised by other people's phoenix eggs."

Jia Hu knew Jia Baoyu's temperament very well, he knew that the emperor would not care about his idiot, lest he would offend his wife.

Under the candlelight, Jia Hu looked at her with gentle eyes that were mesmerizing, and Zhou Jie felt extremely ironic in her heart: "I use the anti-fetal medicine every night, and I just invited a female doctor to take the pulse. If I can’t come back in time, I’ve seen people at my brother and sister’s place.”

Zhou Jie said lightly, but Jia Hu always felt that there was something wrong, so he didn't say anything, but just followed his wife's words, and asked her to take the trouble to send a nun to the Yingchun room, so that he could teach me a thing or two, but she concealed the current mention. The matter of welcoming the spring.

Jia Hu also had good intentions, Zhou Jie is pregnant, so don't overthink.

This was originally the responsibility of the eldest sister-in-law, Zhou Jie naturally agreed, and the husband and wife undressed and rested.

It's just that on the way to the yamen the next day, Jia Hu finally called Shi Mo over and asked him to find out if Second Master Bao had said anything unpleasant to Grandma.

Shi Mo took the order to leave, and before he could find out why, something happened in the Ning Mansion.

The current head of the Ning Mansion, Uncle Jia Zhenzhen, fell down from the Tianxiang Building in the middle of the night for no reason, and flinched, lying on the bed humming and chirping.

As soon as the news reached the Rong Mansion, the wives were about to send someone to look at it, when they heard that Uncle Xiao Rong had somehow annoyed Grandma Zhen and told Grandma Zhen to hit her head with a teacup, causing a big hole , Grandma Xiaorong was so frightened that she was already crying.
