Aristocratic family's career in the Red Chamber

The palace was banned again, Tu Youhao couldn't stay for long, the three of them rode horses happily, made an appointment to see each other next time, and then went back to Beijing and separated.

As soon as Jia Hu got home, he realized that the atmosphere was not right. The servants were trembling and cautious, and their hands and feet were a little lighter than before. Seeing him coming back, they seemed to be so attentive and careful that Jia Hu could be dragged out the next moment. It's the same as selling.

Jia Hu frowned tightly, and He Si hurried out from the ear room. When he saw Jia Hu coming back, a big stone fell from his heart. I'm back." As if chasing flies, he asked the concierge to lead Jia Hu's horse to the stable, and He Si whispered to Jia Hu, "There was news from the second master that Mr. Zhu failed the ranking, and the old lady heard it. I couldn't be more excited, I was lying on the bed right now, the master lost his temper, a girl made a mistake, and the master beat her ten boards and asked her family to take her back."

Jia Hu was already in a bad mood because of Tu Youhao's affairs, but now there was another moth in the house, so she couldn't help pulling up her sleeves irritably, and went to see Jia's mother first along the way - no matter what, this is the etiquette that should be given.

When we arrived at Jia Mu's house, the girl saw him with an indescribably delicate expression. The little girl ran into the house to report to Jia Mu, and soon came back with a face of embarrassment, saying: "Master, the old lady said that she is not healthy. It's comfortable, I won't see you, let you rest assured, she is in good health now, and she will be fine in two days."

Looking at the little girl's guilt-ridden stammer, Jia Hu knew that she might not be telling the truth. Jia's mother's original words were definitely not as polite as they are now, but the little girl modified it herself.Jia Hu didn't delve too deeply into it. His grandparents and grandchildren didn't have deep feelings for each other. If he really cared about Jia's mother, he would make those in the know laugh out loud, and Jia's mother treated him the same way.

But face still has to go.Jia Hu stayed where he was, thought for a while, and asked the little girl to call Yuan Chun out. Yuan Chun had obviously cried a lot. Although the surroundings of his eyes had been treated, they were still red, swollen, and looked sleepy. The kind of joy that looks flying at half o'clock in the morning.It seems that Jia Zhu's failure was a blow to her.

Jia Hu was very considerate and didn't ask her if she was sad, as if she didn't see anything wrong with Yuan Chun, but asked with concern: "It's been hard to take care of the old lady, has the doctor visited the old lady? How can I say it? What medicine was prescribed?"

Seeing that Jia Hu's face was calm, as usual, Yuan Chun didn't see any abnormality, and he didn't ask if he had cried. While he was relieved, he couldn't help feeling embarrassed.It's always like this, Jia Hu's avoidance of asking her sometimes is not so much that he is considerate of her and doesn't want to embarrass her, it's better to say that he is simply ignoring his cousin, he, he doesn't care about himself at all.If it were Jia Zhu, seeing her like this, she would have asked her where she was wronged and what made her uncomfortable.

"The doctor said it's nothing serious." Having grown up by Jia Mu's side, Yuan Chunzao has trained himself to keep his mind on the people around him no matter when and where he is, and never asks himself to be rude in front of others or to be questioned by others. Yuan Chun has never made such an impolite mistake for not answering for a long time, even though she is feeling uncomfortable now, Yuan Chun still replied with a smile, "The doctor said, as long as grandma has a good rest for two days and takes two tranquilizers, she will be fine." Don't worry, Brother Hu, don't worry." As for what the doctor said about Jia's mother's illness, Yuan Chun didn't mention it.

Jia Hu didn't ask, and said, "It's just a medicine to soothe the nerves, so I don't think she's seriously ill. Since the old lady is not in good spirits, I won't go in to bother her, and I will trouble my sister to take care of the old lady. I will come back tomorrow." Greetings to the old lady."

Yuan Chun replied politely: "It's right to take care of grandma. It's hard work. Brother Hu, don't worry, there are still many women and girls here to take care of you. I will also watch."

Jia Hu gave another polite pass, turned and left.Looking at his disappearing figure, Yuan Chun couldn't help weeping silently. This cousin of his was handsome and talented, but he was a big stone on the head of his family and his elder brother.His elder brother Jia Zhu Mingming is also a talented Pian Pian Erlang, but in front of Jia Hu, he is like dust. When the two are together, Jia Hu is the first thing everyone notices.She lived in Rongguo Mansion since she was a child, no matter Jia Hu or Jia Lian, they always kept a distance from her, even if they had a pleasant face, the smile never reached her eyes, only her own brother could coax her patiently and carefully since she was a child Playing, making myself happy, blood relationship, how can Yuan Chun not feel wronged for his brother?

In the imperial examination, how many old scholars who have studied all their lives failed to pass the exam. My brother was seventeen years old, so it was a big problem to fail once. There was a Jia Hu in front of him, and he became famous as a teenager. The sentence of high school perfectly matched her brother Became a mediocre...

"I don't know how my brother is doing now?" Yuan Chun thought of Jia Zhengwang who was looking forward to Jia Zhu's high school and went crazy, and couldn't help but feel aroused for Jia Zhu.

Jia Hu went back to visit Jia She again, but he didn't see anyone. Mrs. Zhang said that he had just left and went to the Antique Street to look at antiques to relax. When she asked why Jia She was in a bad mood, Mrs. Zhang didn't care and said, "Don't worry about it." Your father is crazy. After so many years, you still don’t know your father. The worst thing to see is that the old lady is partial to the second room. Today, the old lady is almost passed away because of Jia Zhu, and she keeps crying, so your father became it for you. Gong Sheng is happy, the old lady looks like this, he immediately got angry, and couldn't help stabbing the old lady, the old lady yelled that life is boring, and she wants to go back to the ancestral house, and there was a lot of trouble, your father He is clumsy and tongue-tied, he can't speak well, so he catches the servant to vent his anger, poor little girl who was taken home, she became a punching bag for nothing."

After hearing this, Jia Hu felt relieved, and said with a smile, "Father loves me too, it's just that the old lady is unhappy."

Mrs. Zhang nodded in agreement: "That's true. No wonder your father got angry. They are also grandsons. One failed in high school and the other failed the exam. The old lady just looked depressed and said that Jia Zhu was pitiful, which made Yuan Chun and those girls and women Everyone shed tears, today is a good day for you, don’t think it’s bad luck! Your father saw it, can you not be angry.” Let Jia Hu not worry, “Now your father’s most precious things are those antiques , seeing those, all troubles are gone, don’t look at going out angrily now, and come back from shopping for two good things on the street, all the anger will disappear.” Speaking of Jia She’s hobby, Zhang’s hands are in favor of it, and he is happy to hear it. of.Not to mention that this thing has something to do with elegance, but since Jia She has been addicted to these things, he has not even been very close to women, and there is almost no such thing as gossiping outside. She didn't feel bad at all for giving Jia Amnesty the good things from her dowry!

Jia Hu said with a smile: "Father is broad-minded, which is hard for ordinary people to reach. This is a good thing." As long as the matter does not involve Jia Mu and Jia Zheng, Jia Amnesty can be regarded as a broad-minded person.

Mrs. Zhang smiled, didn't speak, but said a little unhappy: "The old lady is so sick, the other side of the second room got the news, your second uncle and aunt came to see in the afternoon, saying that Jia Zhu was ill, I didn't even think about it." When I got up, I don’t know if it’s really sick or what, tell me, should we go and have a look?” Even so, Zhang’s words were clearly full of displeasure.Originally, who is willing to visit a person who causes trouble for his family?Even though she knew that Jia Zhu was not as annoying as his parents, Mrs. Zhang still had a lump in her heart.

Jia Hu said: "They are all relatives, and they are so close. Now that we know it, why not go? I am on the same level as him. I will go to see it on behalf of the family. My mother will help me buy some gifts. I'll take it there."

Mrs. Zhang also simply said: "Okay, then you see, when should I go there?"

"Now that you know, don't procrastinate. I'll go there now. I don't think it will be too long. I'll come back for dinner." Jia Hu thought, Jia Zheng Wang would not wait for him to stay for dinner.

Sure enough, when Jia Zheng saw him coming to the door, Jia Zheng's face was very reluctant. After knowing his purpose, he only asked his servants to take him to see Jia Zhu, and he himself said that there was something else to do, turned around and left.When she entered Jia Zhu's room, Wang Shi who was sitting on the side was smiling, but her eyes were shining with viciousness. Jia Hu was thinking, maybe she was thinking, why didn't he die? !

Jia Zhu leaned against the head of the bed with a pale face, and greeted Jia Hu with a smile: "Brother Hu is here, please sit down." She said with some embarrassment, "Thank you for coming to see me. I'm sorry I didn't get out of bed to pick you up."

Jia Hu said with a smile: "What are you talking about, you are so polite to me, you are uncomfortable, just lying down, who am I, I want you to come and greet me."

Mrs. Wang tucked Jia Zhu's quilt and said angrily, "No, who is Brother Hu? That's your cousin. How can you be so polite between you two? Your elder brother Hu is not an outsider. I'm just guarding you against this and that, and I hide all good things and refuse to say them, for fear that others will overwhelm me if they find out. Your big brother Hu is your cousin, and he has been nice to you before. You go to ask him about homework, he never hides anything, and answers you carefully, just for this, you should know who is your close person, why is he so polite to your brother Hu now."

Jia Hu has long been used to Wang's tone of gun and stick, so she is not annoyed, and just sits down and drinks tea lightly.But Jia Zhu couldn't listen anymore, looked at Jia Hu with embarrassment, and begged Wang, "Mother, let me talk to Brother Hu, just go and do your own business, I'm fine." , you don’t have to keep guarding me.”

Where is Mrs. Wang willing to go? "What is more important than you? You silly boy. You spent your whole body studying day and night for this imperial examination, and your body was exhausted. Now you are sick and lying in bed. How can I have the mood to do anything at this moment? What? You are the root of my illness, the flesh that falls from my body, you are not feeling well, how can I go? "

At the same time, he said to Jia Hu, "Brother Hu, did you get No. 2 in the exam this time? It's really a good result. Master Xu is indeed a good teacher. He taught you really well. I was going to congratulate you, but I didn't expect Brother Zhu is not in good health, so it was delayed. Auntie here, I congratulate you. I told you that you are good at studying and capable. No, you won the prize, and you will come back after being the number one in the exam. I will be your aunt. Yes, I’ll follow suit. I’m letting go now. We, Brother Zhu, are average at reading. After studying with you for so long, according to what you said, we also followed the questions assigned by Master Xu. After half a year of articles, I didn't get any rankings. I don't ask for anything now, as long as Brother Zhu is healthy and healthy, I am satisfied with everything."

Jia Hu was unmoved, and just pretended not to hear the hint of accusation in Wang's words, and said: "It depends on the individual when reading and doing the questions. What is suitable for me may not be suitable for Brother Zhu. What the master taught me, I know how to do. Whenever Zhudi comes to ask, I will explain his doubts, if he fails this time, next time Zhudi will definitely win, my aunt must have confidence in Zhudi."

Mrs. Wang still wanted to speak, but Jia Zhu pleaded with her face flushed, "Mother..." her neck was thick red, and she stared into her eyes, silently begging.Mrs. Wang wondered and hated Jia Hu because she had concealed something when she instructed Jia Zhu on her homework, and deliberately refused to teach him. Under the pleas of her beloved son, she could only calm down for a while, and said stiffly: : "Brother Zhu, be afraid, I'll go and have a look, you guys talk."

When Wang's figure walked away, Jia Zhu said to Jia Hu with a wry smile: "Brother Hu, don't mind, Madam, she cares about me too much, she didn't mean it... I'll apologize to you here, and please don't take it to heart .”

The smile on Jia Hu's face remained unchanged: "Brother Zhu is serious, but Auntie cares about her and she is confused. I understand how she loves her son." This is not the first time she has this attitude. My fault has been implicated on me, Jia Hu has long been used to it, and has learned to turn a blind eye even earlier.

The more calm Jia Hu is, the more flustered Jia Zhu's face is burning, but Wang is his biological mother, and she is dedicated to him. Jia Zhu can't say anything bad, so she can only smile and move away. Open the topic and congratulate Jia Hu High School: "I knew Brother Hu was a must, but I still want to say congratulations, congratulations on becoming a Gongsheng student. When I get better, I have to ask Brother Hu for a drink."

These words are indeed sincere, without any falsehood.As she gets older and sensible, Jia Zhu is really ashamed of the thing that she hated and alienated Jia Hu when she was a child. Jia Zhu knows that her parents coveted the title of Rongguo Mansion, but she can't say it because of filial piety. To Jia Hu, a brother, Jia Zhu was ashamed and ashamed, and even more concerned.As for Jia Hu's cousin, he is also talented in civil and military affairs. After a long time, Jia Zhu really admires Jia Hu, and doesn't hate Jia Hu because of Jia Zhengwang, or thinks that Jia Hu is because of his elders. Jia Hu may not like him if he deliberately conceals Xu Wei's knowledge and refuses to pass it on to him, but he is definitely not this kind of villain who hides and hides.Jia Zhu is an upright gentleman, Jia Hu high school, his cousin, he can't help but congratulate him both emotionally and rationally.

Knowing that he was telling the truth, Jia Hu readily agreed, saying, "It's not easy, let's choose a good place and have a good drink. For this drink, you have to get well soon."

Jia Zhu also smiled: "Yes, I will take good care of it and make myself better quickly!" He said with some comfort, "I believe in Brother Hu's strength, this time Chun Wei must have been careless this time. Giving birth to Tang Bin is definitely not your opponent."

Jia Hu laughed: "No. 1 and No. 2 are just rankings. I don't care. That Tang Bin is considered capable."

Jia Zhu was worried that Jia Hu would be unhappy because he was not number one. Seeing him like this, he also laughed: "It's my difference. How can a person like Big Brother care about such a trivial matter." If you are unhappy about this, you will feel relieved.

Jia Hu talked with him for a while, then got up to leave.Jia Zhu tried to persuade him to stay for dinner, but facing the Wang family next to him who refused to save face, Jia Hu pushed him a few times, but finally left.
