Aristocratic family's career in the Red Chamber

Jia Hu fled from Zhang's place, and when he arrived in the garden, he couldn't stop smiling wryly.If you want to say that he is really old or young, it is true that some of his peers are married and have children, and some of them have not even settled on their marriage. Now Mrs. Zhang is anxious to let him make it quickly. After coming down, he even let out the words of the matchmaker who made him "please" the woman, which obviously violated the orders of his parents, which shows how anxious he is about his marriage.

Speaking of it, there is also his own fault. Now that he is seventeen, Jia Hu is very self-sacrificing and doesn't have any feelings for ordinary women. Mrs. Zhang was very happy to see this situation. , but when the sixteenth and the crown came, Mrs. Zhang personally picked two maids and sent them to his courtyard to serve them. Jia Hu just pretended to be confused and had no favors for them. He also questioned whether there was anything wrong with his body.This made Jia Hu dumbfounded, and had to go out with a few friends to play a few times before Zhang felt relieved.

In fact, it’s not that Jia Hu is completely dismissive of women’s sex. It’s actually the women of today. Most of them are submissive and obedient like puppets. The famous ones are all the women who have read the Four Books and Five Classics thoroughly, and regard women as women.Jia Hu respects Mrs. Zhang and is happy that his mother is such a woman, but his future wife?He couldn't bear to be happy.

Back then, the noble daughters of aristocratic families who were as proud and bright as fire, their family background gave them proud qualifications, and their talents gave them the capital to enjoy life. Instead of crying and crying in place, he worked hard to find a way out for himself.Fierce as fire, it warms the heart when it is warm, and can burn the malicious person when it is angry.This kind of woman is the woman Jia Hu saw and lived with all those years ago, and she is the qualified wife candidate in his mind.Such a wife can support the whole family even if he is not around.

As for today's women, Jia Hu has to say that etiquette is harmful, and Cheng Zhu Neo-Confucianism has completely restrained women from life to life. In the Sui Dynasty, Jin Gui, a noble daughter of an aristocratic family, now, except for the royal princess, is the prime minister's family. The woman is nothing more than a bargaining chip that can be said to be sacrificed according to the two calculations, and she has no meaning in existence.If it was back then, the delicate and noble ladies were for the sake of the family, who would dare to abuse them like this?

There are also things like favoring concubines and destroying wives, and not distinguishing between concubines and concubines, which abound. Jia Hu has seen it too much, and she is too lazy to entangle with these women.After studying for more than ten years, I have learned that in the back house, following concubines, concubines and concubines are all thinking of tricks, but they are just slaves and maids. If they don't like it, they just sell it. What is it worth spending so much thought on?

Of course, it’s not that there are no such neat girls. It’s possible that those who live as they please must be the daughters of the concubine who have a huge background and can spend their whole lives without looking at people’s faces. If you can't marry into the family, even if you marry back in the end, it will be a lot of trouble.When Jia Hu thought of these things, it was a lawsuit all over his head, so how could he even think about it?Simply put his hand away, let Zhang take care of it, he just has to take a last look.

Jia Hu thought, if he really married a wife, he might as well not have a concubine room, so as to save his wife from having so many thoughts, which would waste the relationship between husband and wife in vain.In his life, he still has a lot to do. He is really impatient to be busy outside, but at the same time, he has to take care of the back house so that there is no fire.

Jia Hu first went to greet Jia Mu along the way, and when he got there, Mrs. Wang was still there, sitting beside Jia Mu and talking, while Yuan Chun gently patted Jia Mu's back.

Seeing him coming, Mother Jia also got up from the crooked couch, and said with a smile, "I heard you went out today? You just finished the exam. Why don't you stay at home for a few more days to have a good rest?" She asked again, "But Did you go back to see your mother?"

Jia Hu saluted Jia Mu with a smile, and paid respects to Mrs. Wang, before saying, "I went back and changed my clothes, and met my mother. Although I was a bit tired after staying in the Gongyuan for a few days, I can bear it, master." The brothers there are back, I'll go see them."

Mother Jia thought of Jia Hu's senior brother, and it took her a long time to remember: "It seems to be two from the Liu family and the Zeng family, right? Why are they both back?"

Yuan Chun came over to greet Jia Hu, Jia Hu accepted it, greeted him, and then said with a smile: "Senior Brother Liu didn't come back, it's because Master Zhang, who works in Hunan, is back, and Senior Brother Zeng is also back, so I will Let’s go see him. Senior brother Zeng’s old man has passed away, so he has to go home to observe his filial piety, so he came back from Yongzhou.”

Mother Jia sighed, shook her head and said, "I remember that he is the governor of the state now, right? Coming back to observe his filial piety has delayed his future." She said sadly, "It's really useless when you're old. It's not good to make your old bones crooked, and it's not good here or there all day long, so that you, the younger generation, worry about it. If you don't look back, you have to bring the future of your family's children and grandchildren, think about it, it's really boring."

Jia Hu hurriedly said: "Grandmother's words are terrible. Who doesn't say that an old man is like a treasure? Don't say anything else, just like your grandmother, as long as you are here, there is a Dinghai Shenzhen in your home. Who doesn't know that you are a grandmother?" What are you capable of? Our juniors still have shortcomings, and we need your teaching."

Jia Mu couldn't help laughing: "You have a sweet mouth."

Wang also laughed and said: "Brother Hu has always been filial, what you said is true, old lady, you are the backbone of all of us, no one can do without you."

Mother Jia became more and more happy when she heard it, and burst out laughing.

Some words, although everyone knows that they are false, but they still have to be passable on the surface.Jia Hu chatted with Jia Mu for a while, and Jia Mu sent him away: "You are old, reading and reading are all things, you don't have to waste time here with my old lady, I am tired from going out today, go back Take a break at noon and have a good rest."

Naturally, Jia Hu had to say some polite words about "being with grandma is not tiring", and then left.Before leaving, Yuan Chun hurriedly stood up, gave him a half-gift, Jia Hu walked out, and heard Jia's mother behind him say: "Yuan girl, sit down quickly, you don't need to knock on my back for me, you are a child, you are filial." " Then he said to Wang, "You have raised a good girl. I can't leave her for a moment because she is caring. At such a young age, whose girl can be as sensible as our girl Yuan."

Yuan Chun said shyly from the side: "Grandmother..."

Jia Hu walked away impatiently, so he didn't like these noble ladies nowadays.Life is badly educated.Jia Mu Wang's family is also the daughter of a high-ranking family, married to the mansion of the Duke, but it can be seen that Yuan Chun is raised according to the model of chastity, tranquility and virtuousness.Yuan Chun is only eight years old now. She has mastered the female precepts of poetry and calligraphy. She usually does not step out of the gate, smiles without showing her teeth and walks without showing her feet. Son, at noon, standing behind Jia Mu and beating her back.As a mother, Mrs. Wang can't bear it!

Jia Hu also knew that although the Wang family and Jia Zheng had moved out of Rongguo Mansion a long time ago, they still hadn't given up. They were still dreaming of returning to Rongguo Mansion one day.For this reason, Yuan Chun was born eight years ago. Seeing that Jia's mother liked her daughter, she sent the child to Jia's mother to raise. Fortunately, her biological mother was so cruel that the only daughter was sent away before she was one year old.But it can't be said that it didn't work. Jia's mother was partial to Jia Zheng, and she loved Yuan Chun, the only granddaughter in the mansion, like something. After eight years, even Jia Zhu had to retire in front of Yuan Chun. One shot.

Mrs. Zhang only had a son. When Yuanchun came to the mansion, she saw Yuxue was cute, and when she returned to the house, she told Jia Hu and Jia Lian that it would be nice if they had a younger sister.Speaking of it, if it weren't for the deep grievances between the first and second families, Zhang's treatment of Yuan Chun would not be the same as it is now, but it's just superficial.Now the house looks at Jia Mu's face, and has not neglected Yuan Chun. If you want to say that you have paid attention to it, you have not. It's fine if you didn't compare it in the early years. Last year, Jia Amnesty's Aunt Qian gave birth to a concubine daughter, Ying Chun, who is now one year old. There are too many, and the treatment is no worse than that of Yuanchun back then.This is because Yingchun was not raised under Zhang's name, but was handed over to Jia She's other aunt, Ning, to be raised. If it was recorded under Zhang's name, the treatment would be more than that.

Thanks to this, Yuan Chun can be regarded as seeing his identity clearly. In the early years, relying on Jia's mother's love, he was young, and made a lot of troubles in the mansion. Mother Jia gave Yuan Chun the first step, and she was so annoyed with this cousin in private that she yelled at Mrs. Zhang to drive her back home. She was punished several times by Mrs. Zhang before she learned to be good.Yuan Chun is now eight years old and knows a lot. She has finally learned to be a man with her tail between her legs. She no longer shows off her power in front of servants. She also knows that she has nothing to do to do needlework for the Zhang family, Jia Hu and Jia Lian. She just started learning needle and thread. With this intention, It is rare.It's just that she polished off everyone's love for her in the early years, and she had a pair of parents like Jia Zheng Wang, Zhang and others who were superficially affectionate. Looking back, she just threw those things aside and never looked at them again.

When you live under the fence, you must always be conscious. How can you make the host happy if the guest bullies the host?It's too late for Yuan Chun to learn how to behave now.Not to mention, Jia Hu is a person who likes to be quick-tempered, and compared to her current double-faced, docile appearance, and hidden traitor in her heart, she would rather she be that difficult girl who had no intentions.

"Marrying a wife is a trouble no matter what time it is." Jia Hu, who had never been married in the past and present, rubbed his nose, feeling bored.

Originally, I wanted to greet Jia She, but the servants said that Jia She had gone out, so Jia Hu transferred to the martial arts field.Jia Lian was playing with Jia Rong there, and Jia Hu had to take him back to study.

As far as Jia Lian is concerned, he also doesn't like reading, and his martial arts practice is average, but he is particularly interested in money. Jia She is lenient to himself and strict to others, and he himself is an ignorant master. But he was scolded once every three days and beaten every five days. He was required to study hard and practice martial arts hard. He didn't expect him to become famous as a young man like Jia Hu, and he was full of knowledge. He complained again and again.It was Jia Hu who gave him an idea in the end, let him learn the art of gold and stone antiques from Jia She, firstly, he can be liked by Jia Shen, and secondly, these are also economic items, the value is not lower than gold and silver vulgar objects, in the eyes of others, It is the way of elegance.

Jia Lian got this idea, and sure enough, he went to Jia She every day. At first Jia She wanted to scold him a few words, but after he taught his son to have fun, he stopped talking.But Jia Lian still can't let go of his studies, no matter what, he has to get a reputation as a scholar, and with the help of his family, he can get an official status.Otherwise, in the future, Jia Hu will be a middle official, and he will be promoted day by day, and Jia Lian will be empty, and it will be a vain job, and it will be just a thing to fool ordinary people.

When Jia Hu arrived at the martial arts arena, didn't Jia Lian teach Jia Rong how to practice archery?This kid is eleven years old this year, and he is only two or three years younger than Jia Lian. He thinks he is having a good time. Although he is a nephew in name, he is actually like a brother.In the early years, Jia Rong studied with Jia Jing, but in recent years Jia Jing has become obsessed with alchemy and Taoism, and he has let go of this grandson. Jia Zhen’s wife Huang, who has been in charge of Jia Rong’s studies these days, is not in good health. Well, Jia Rong came to play with Jia Lian when she was free.Jia Lian has been practicing archery with his martial arts master for the past two months. Compared with Jia Hu's ability to shoot through Yang with a hundred steps immediately, it is enough to stand on the ground and fool Jia Rong.Now you can just point to Jia Rong arrogantly: "You are so stupid, I have said it all, your feet can't be straight like this, your feet have to be slightly apart, and your legs have to be slightly bent, so that you can stand firmly and shoot. Arrow~"

Jia Rong felt wronged: "First of all, you said that my legs are not straight, so the arrow is not aimed properly."

Jia Lian yelled, "You still want to aim. Look at your arrow, it fell halfway. You didn't even reach the target. What accuracy do you need?"

Jia Rong was so angry that she swung the boy's small bow up and down, almost rushing to fight Jia Lian.

Jia Lian raised his chin: "Are you still learning archery? If you do this again, I won't teach you?"

When Jia Rong heard this, she could only hold back her breath aggrievedly, and said in a muffled voice, "I'll learn."

"You're so stupid, I'll shoot again, you can see it." Jia Lian was very proud, took his own bow and arrow, loaded the good arrow, drew the bow, and stood firmly in front of Jia Rong, holding his hand. As soon as it is released, the arrow leaves the string and hits the target. Although it misses the heart, it is not far away.When Jia Rong saw it, she didn't care about what was going on before she got angry, and exclaimed with bright eyes: "Second Uncle Lian, I want to learn, I want to learn, you teach me quickly."

Jia Lian was very proud, and put away his bow and arrows—this was specially made by Jia Hu for him on his 12th birthday. He walked up to Jia Rong, taught him, and said to him: "You only How much can you practice here with me, and you can't be left behind at home. Why doesn't my sister-in-law allow you to learn martial arts?"

Jia Rong had a bitter face: "It's not that you don't know my mother. My grandfather's family is all scholars. How could she let me practice martial arts? I've said it many times, but it's useless!"

Jia Lian had a subtle sense of superiority, and raised his head high: "Sister-in-law is short-sighted. What's wrong with scholars? Scholars can't practice martial arts. Look at my brother, how good is his knowledge? Masters all praise him. Practicing swords and riding horses is better than martial arts. Everyone is good. Last time, the three guards at home couldn't beat my elder brother!"

Jia Rong's eyes turned red with envy: "It's great that you have an older brother, and I really want to have an older brother like Uncle Hu."

Jia Lian stared at him from the corner of his eyes: "Dream, my elder brother is like a brother that anyone can have? You didn't listen to what my father said, my elder brother is hard to see even if you pick one out of ten thousand miles in Beijing." Yes." When he said this, Jia Lian must have forgotten, he was still complaining in the morning, why is he so miserable, and met a brother who likes to give him a lot of homework? !

Jia Hu looked at the pair of uncles and nephews, shook his head, turned around and left, he is a little tired today, and will be out of the list in a few days, so he should rest at home for a few days, so as not to save some people from getting red-eyed.
