Aristocratic family's career in the Red Chamber

Regarding Jia Hu's self-assessment to reject Jia Daishan but asked to study with Jia She, Zhang was naturally unhappy at first, thinking that Jia Hu wasted a great opportunity, but the matter is a foregone conclusion, Zhang calmed down and went back to the house to think. Come to think of it, this might not be a bad thing.Probably because of being suppressed by Jia Daishan and Jia Mu for a long time, Jia She is used to living in her own small circle with her heart, and doesn't pay much attention to the outside world, although she has some respect for her first wife and some love for her son , but this feeling is not deep, and it is weak and cannot withstand any wind and rain.This dystocia is also a reminder to Mrs. Zhang. In the past, she was naturally not afraid of being plotted by others, but it would be really bad for her. No one can count on her two children. There was an 'accident', and my life returned to Huangquan.She thought, it's rare that Jia Hu is not afraid that Jia She is willing to get close to him now, so it's better to let the father and son kiss together, maybe this teaching and learning can really make the father and son have a deep relationship, that's her fault mind.Wanting to understand this, Mrs. Zhang called Jia Hu Haosheng in private and told him that he was worried that he would not understand when he was young, so he only picked up superficial words like "get closer to your father, don't talk back, and be obedient" to teach him , Jia Hu has a clear eye and a bright heart, and she already had such thoughts, so naturally Wei Wei agreed.

Helpless, no matter how good their calculations are, they can't stand a group of people stirring up trouble and making trouble. It's not happy to catch up with Jia She, and in the end they can only light the candle blindly, wasting their efforts.

One day, Mother Chen packed up Jia Hu's books and ink, and was about to send him to Jia She's place to study, when Qing'er ran in in a hurry and said anxiously: "It's not good, Mother Chen, the old master, the second master, and the uncle Speaking of brother Hu's studies, he satirized the uncle a lot, and the uncle's expression became ugly, and Sister Sangyu sent word that the uncle dropped all the books when he returned to the study."

Chen's mother Jia Hu's color changed in an instant, and Chen's mother urged, "What's going on? Did you find out clearly? Tell us carefully."

Qing'er paused, gasped for breath and became a little more stable, and then slowly talked about the news he had inquired about.

It turned out that after Jia Hu overwhelmed Jia Zhu in the limelight last time, Wang was full of displeasure, but Jia Daishan even proposed to let Jia Hu study with him—even if Jia Hu didn’t refuse anyway. Yes—Jia Zheng inevitably felt a little strange, and with Mrs. Wang blowing the pillow wind in his ear later, Jia Zheng had some thoughts.It just so happened that Jia Daishan did not go to court today, and the two brothers came to pay their respects together. While sitting down and chatting, Jia Zheng asked about Jia She's current teaching situation intentionally or unintentionally.

"What has Brother Hu learned recently? But has he improved?" Jia Zheng asked Jia She with a smile like every elder who cared about his nephew, "In the past, Brother Hu didn't know how to be so smart. These days, I have been taught by my elder brother, so I am afraid that I have made a step forward? Zhuer has been studying with the master these days. Although she is not as good as Brother Hu who can recite the thousand-character prose backwards, she can barely catch her eyes... I don’t know that Brother Hu is now What did you learn? Let me go back and teach those who are useless."

What Jia Zheng said was exactly what Jia Daishan was thinking about. Although he didn't say anything these days, he was still thinking about Jia Hu who suddenly showed outstanding talent. Immediately, he also looked at Jia She: "Hu My brother insists on following you, so I won’t say anything because of his filial piety, but you have to know it well, don’t drag that child’s future down.” In the end, he asked with concern, “You have taught me all these days. He what?"

Jia Amnesty was naturally unhappy. Jia Zheng's question made him feel hypocritical, and Jia Daishan's attitude made him feel ashamed. What do these two people mean?Do you suspect that he can't teach his son well?Jia She was angry in his heart, but for a long time, Jia She had been suppressed by them so much that he was almost numb, so even though he was unhappy, he still held his breath and replied: "Brother Hu has finished reading Enlightenment of Rhythm, and I like it very much. Those catchy pairs, so I found some pairs for him, and he can read well, he can recite the hundreds of pairs I found for him, and he can also tell the inside Well, the discussion also urged me to find some more for him, saying that I need to learn more..." Speaking of this son, Jia She was overjoyed. But he looked up at and respected him as a real mountain—this made Jia She feel a strange feeling, joy, joy, and complacency...all of them, together, he looked at Jia Hu as his son. , is more and more pleasing to the eye.

It's a pity that Jia Daishan and Jia Zheng didn't think so.pair?This kind of thing is just a boring gadget in your spare time, just learn to know something, and deliberately take it out as a serious thing?But it was very unnecessary, and it seemed that Jia She couldn't distinguish between the primary and the secondary, and it was not the general situation.Jia Daishan was very unhappy, and scolded: "Stupid! Brother Hu is such an intelligent talent, you use these useless things to delay him, just to teach him rhythm, at least it is such serious things as Tang poetry and Song Ci. What's the use of getting some pairs? In the imperial examination, there is still an item of doing pairs? I don't know what it means!" He asked again, "Brother Hu has been following you for a long time, don't you just teach this?"

It was the first time someone rejected Jia Daishan's choice of Jia She, so these days, Jia She really put all his heart into teaching Jia Hu, and he was really good at teaching himself. Although it was a simple pair, he chose it carefully. Yes, everyone praised it.It's just that these intentions of his fell into Jia Daishan's eyes, and I'm afraid they were useless.Jia Amnesty suddenly became discouraged, and the initial complacency was gone. He restrained his smile, lowered his head and said, "Brother Hu is good at learning the rhythm and rhythm of the Thousand Character Classic, but there are still some allusions in the Three Character Classic that I don't know. So my son is also teaching him the allusions these days..."

"The Three Character Classic..." Jia Daishan still seemed very dissatisfied this time, "He has already learned the basics of rhythm, why is he still learning this?"

Jia Zheng also had some regrets and said: "Brother Hu's talent is amazing, it's time to learn something more difficult."

Jia She felt more and more that Jia Daishan and Jia Zheng looked down on him for everything he did, so he said with a gloomy face, "Brother Hu is only three years old, and it was only because he was injured that Mama Chen taught him the beginning of vocal rhythm. But I haven’t learned the Three Character Classic for long. Even if I know the characters in it, I still need to know the meaning inside. If I just skip over it like this, then I have to spend a lot of time explaining it to him? Why not? It is better to lay a good foundation for him now, and learn other things later.”

This is not unreasonable. A three-year-old child is just learning how to read. Jia Zhu is also learning characters from the Thousand-Character Classic. The Three-Character Classic can learn characters and also learn some superficial allusions. It should take some effort to teach the children.Jia Daishan's face finally relaxed a little, and he wanted to say that Jia She should teach him well, but when he looked up, he saw Jia She was sitting there with a stern face and pursed lips, his whole body was gloomy, as if no one was sorry for him, and suddenly he was angry again If you don't come here, no matter how you look at it, Jia She is not pleasing to the eye, "You are used to being useless, and I don't count on you anymore, but Brother Hu followed his mother. He is a sensible person. He has to learn from you in filial piety." , I can't help it, but you have to dare to teach him with your messy things..." Before he finished speaking, Jia Daishan just looked at Jia She with piercing eyes threateningly, and the meaning was self-evident.

Jia Amnesty clenched his hands tightly into his sleeves and glanced at Jia Zheng from the corner of his eyes. Sure enough, he was sitting there calmly with his eyes half-closed as before, as if he hadn't heard anything. It was a humiliating tightening, but it was really his good father, who stomped him to the ground in front of his younger brother, no matter how ineffective he was, he grew up beside the old man and the old lady, teaching a child to be enlightened, just Keep telling him so, for fear that he will cause trouble—is he so useless in their eyes?Jia Amnesty thought that after the old Duke and Mrs. Guo left, having parents would be the same as having no parents. He would be compared with his younger brother everywhere, not to mention his younger brother's foil, and would have to be reprimanded and admonished by Jia Daishan and Jia Mu from time to time. , Losing all face in front of his siblings, a wave of hatred rushed straight up.Scold it, scold it, you can scold it now, now I have no power or power, I can't help you, it depends on who dares to say this in front of me after you lose me and inherit the Duke's mansion!Jia Amnesty went over in his mind carefully how he should behave in the Rongxi Hall after Jia Daishan left, how he should go out to entertain relatives and friends, everyone only flattered him and belittled Jia Zheng, and the anger that was full of him could be eased Somewhat, replied in a rough voice: "I know."

Jia Daishan looked at the eldest son who was obviously unconvinced, and his heart became more and more panicked. He was shrewd all his life, but he didn't want to give birth to such a waste. , and then looked at the silent youngest son who was sitting on the side. Although he was a little pedantic, compared to his elder brother, he was already satisfied. It's time to talk, waved his hand impatiently, and said: "Boss, go back and teach brother Hu to read, you don't need to stay here." He changed his face to Jia Zheng again, and said, "Second brother stay here, I'm here I just got a painting by Mi Fu, you can take a look with me."

Jia Zheng was very pleasantly surprised: "My master got such a good thing? Then I naturally want to keep it."

Jia Amnesty is not interested in these things the most. Seeing Jia Daishan and Jia Zheng's close relationship, he can only tell himself over and over again in his stomach that Jia Daishan is old and will not live for a few years. The situation is coming——Brotherly holding back his temper and resigning, he left with a livid face...

"The servant over there replied that when the master returned to the study, everything he saw was not pleasing to the eye. Hongxia, who was the most beloved in the past, served tea and thought the tea was too hot, so Hongxia had a violent attack." When Qing'er talked about this, she couldn't hide her worry, "Hongxia can be regarded as a face in front of the master, but now she is being attacked like this, and the master is reprimanded by the master because of Brother Hu. This time I really saw Brother Hu Son, wouldn’t that make you more angry? Mom, why don’t you take a day off today and say you’re sick, so you’ll have a lot of trouble in the past.”

Chen's mother also knew about Hongxia. She was originally a second-class girl next to Jia She, but she had a good appearance with enchanting clothes. Since she caught Jia She's eyes, in the past two or three months, she still had some dignity. That's it. At this moment, I was also angered, Brother Hu went over, I was afraid that I would not be able to please him, so I couldn't help being moved: "Brother Hu's body is just right, even if there is a headache, it's nothing~ , just give my brother a leave?"

Huizhi also thinks it's okay, but because of this Erfang stabbed a few words, brother Hu's body is weak, no matter what, she is stronger than the anger towards Jia She in the past, so she immediately nodded in agreement.

But Jia Hu didn't take it seriously. He understood Jia She from the way he got along these days, because he had been favorably treated by Jia Daishan and Jia Mu for a long time. Now he can say that he hardly cares about the outside world, not to mention his parents and brothers, but his wife Sons and daughters, it is only because of the long-term need for sons that they feel better towards Jia Hu. In his heart, he is an extremely cold person. Thinking of begging him, no matter what happened, he would be impatient to help. Seeing Jia Hu's injury earlier, he knew it. Although Jia Amnesty was full of anger and dissatisfaction, but because he knew that this matter must have something to do with the second room, Jia Daishan and Jia Mu agreed. It's partial, so no matter how unwilling it is, I can bear it. As for Jia Hu's son, Jia Hu never thought about going out and making a fuss.

The love between father and son is weak and pitiful.

That's why Jia Hu is more eager to appear beside him as a person who supports him, worships him and affirms him when Jia Amnesty is humiliated by Jia Daishan and Jia Zheng, and let him know that he, Jia Hu, is with Jia Daishan, Jia Zheng, and even anyone in Jia's mansion. All are different.In this Jia's mansion, Jia Daishan and Jia's mother may despise his son, Jia Zheng and Jia Min will look down on his brother, Wang's and Zhang's will think he is useless, and the servants will not take him seriously, but he Jia Hu , is his Jia She's blood, inherits his blood, respects him and respects him, more than anyone else, will not betray him and look down on him, Jia She can get from him the dignity and pride that he has neglected for a long time, Respect... Jia Hu wants to let Jia Shen know that everyone in this world thinks he is useless, but he, Jia Hu, will definitely not be one of them.

The more people who have been considered useless for a long time, the more they hope to gain the respect and trust of others. Today is a good opportunity for him to break down the barrier between him and Jia She, and truly cultivate a father-son relationship.There were thousands of thoughts in his mind, but in action, Jia Hu ordered Chen's mother to take out the suit he asked to make a few days ago, and resolutely refused to call sick: "He is my father. What else can I do? My father is feeling uncomfortable right now, and I am a son of man. I don’t talk about comforting him, but instead try to lie to avoid him. How can I still be worthy of being a son of man?”

Chen's mother, Huizhi, and others tried hard to persuade him to no avail, so she had to give up in the end and dress him up according to his words.Clothes, shoes and socks are not the festive colors prepared by Zhang's Jiamu for the children in the past. The childish jacket and trousers are instead blue robes with dark blue embroidered borders, adult robes, and the hair is also loose. A small bun, tied up with a small jade belt, and tied around the waist with a small purse made by Hui Zhi herself, it is like a smaller Jia She - this dress is Jia Hu's order, Jia She's favorite in the past He did exactly the same set of clothes as Jia Amnesty, but didn't it mean that the three-point similarity also turned seven-point?

Although Chen's mother, Hui Zhi, waited until Jia Hu persisted to dress him up, but after she put them all on, she couldn't help praising him: "In the past, we always dressed up Brother Hu in festive ways. Now this body suits Brother Hu's heroic vigor, but it lacks the beauty of grandma and adds a bit of handsomeness of grandpa."

Qing'er also echoed: "That's not true. In the past, Brother Hu was only said to look like grandma, but now he is dressed in a similar attire to Grandpa, but he knows him seven to eight percent." Not to mention, take a closer look Brother Hu, when you think about Grandpa again, you really realize that if Grandpa doesn't have the black eyes, no matter how good his complexion is, and if he is more energetic, he still has the appearance of Zhilan Yushu.Of course, Qing'er only dared to think about these words in her heart, and really didn't dare to say them.

Chen's mother's eyes lit up suddenly, and the way she looked at Jia Hu changed suddenly, and she exclaimed, "I was thinking wrong, but my brother is smart, and knows how to use this outfit to cater to the uncle's favor." Who Don't like a child who looks like yourself?Especially since this is his own son, who is usually well-behaved and pleasant.Jia Amnesty has only just been angered at this moment, but a talented son who is only half-heartedly imitating his clothes, who is almost similar to him, won't his heart soften into a puddle of water and hurt his son to the bone?Mother Chen only hated herself for not thinking of this, and almost missed the big deal, and marveled at Jia Hu's intelligence, "The people in front said that there are children who can write at the age of three and can be talented at the age of five, aren't they just talking about my brother? ! Our brother Hu will definitely have great promise in the future!"

Jia Hu smiled when she heard this, and urged her to take her to Jia She's study...
