Aristocratic family's career in the Red Chamber

Because Jia Daishan and Jia's mother love the second room, Jia Zhu is also loved by the younger generation in Rongguo Mansion, especially after Jia Zhu can speak and read, he has shown intelligence and talent, and even Jia Mu regards him as his heart. Flesh loves her, but as for Jia Hu, she has long since thrown him out of the sky.

Such a eccentric mother Jia suddenly asked about the affairs around Jia Hu of the Zhang family in a pleasant manner. It was impossible not to surprise the mother of the Zhang family Chen and others, so that they didn't recover for a while to answer Jia Mu's question. question.

Mother Jia was naturally very dissatisfied, and her gloomy face immediately became a little colder. It was only because of Jia Daishan's presence that she had to repeat the first question patiently: "Master, I'm asking What about you, the big girl beside Brother Hu hasn't been added since last time, right? Who is serving Brother Hu now?"

This time Mrs. Zhang finally came to her senses. She had a bad feeling when she heard the words, but everyone in the room was waiting for her to reply, and she didn't dare to express her thoughts, so she could only reply cautiously. "Yes, after the two girls Mulan and Mujin left, I have been busy taking care of Lian'er, so I let Mother Chen lead Huizhi to take care of Hu'er." After a pause, he smiled, "Master and wife may not know, Hui Zhi is the daughter of Su’s mother. I watched her grow up since she was a child. She is very smart and sensible. I was worried that she would not be able to take responsibility because she was young, but I didn’t think that she would grow up. It’s well-groomed, not bad at all, I thought, after a while, I’ll raise her so that I can take care of Hu’er.”

Mother Jia didn't take it seriously: "Hui Zhi, is that the little girl I saw in Brother Hu's house a few days ago? She looks young, only twelve or thirteen, right? At this age, she is capable and lacks composure. Let her be a first-class girl? Can you rest assured?" He frowned again, "Qing'er? Why have I never heard of this name before? How old are you? How old were you before? What did you do? Errands?"

Mrs. Zhang really didn't want to let Jia's mother pick a thorn to make trouble, but she couldn't find an excuse, so she could only bow her head and laugh with her: "Qing'er used to work in the third-class sewing room in Brother Hu's yard, but now she's too old." She is 11 years old and has a lively personality. She is with Brother Hu, but Brother Hu likes it very much. I saw that she is well-behaved, so I let her serve Hu'er for the time being. Thinking of being a second class in the future. Whatever you do, just do some sewing for Hu'er, and talk to Hu'er." Mrs. Zhang was in a panic, and she never saw Mother Jia caring about the affairs of the girls around Jia Hu, but it made her relax her vigilance. With Mother Chen around, she was not in a hurry to add new staff to Jia Hu. Now... Mrs. Zhang only hoped that Mother Jia wouldn't make any trouble for a while and would bring disaster to their eldest family.

As soon as she heard that Qing'er was only 11 years old, Jia's mother pulled her face down in an instant, and said angrily, "How old is Brother Hu? When I really love to run and dance, I haven't told you about the fall this time." Wake up? It's good for you, I don't want to arrange more stable and big girls to serve him, but these young girls come here to serve him. These little girls are still childish and can hold Hu Brother Hu is taking care of you? Confused! Even if you really don’t have anyone in your hands, you should go back to me. There are fewer people around my wife, so there will always be someone who can pick a safe one for Brother Hu.”

Jia's mother was so angry that Mrs. Zhang couldn't sit still. She hurriedly stood up and apologized: "What the lady said is that I was wrong. I'm more concerned about Lian'er, thinking that Brother Hu still has Mother Chen by my side, so it's okay to pick a girl for Hu'er later... It's my daughter-in-law who wants to make a mistake."

She poses in such a low posture, and the reason she is looking for is not unreasonable, and with so many people watching, it is not easy for Jia Mu to continue to criticize her for a while, but the bottom of her heart is really suffocating, so she can only say in a muffled voice: "It's you Busy with Lian'er, brother Hu is your eldest son after all, and you are injured, why are you willing to be so careless?" Seeing that Zhang's face flushed instantly, she lowered her head in embarrassment and was speechless , Mother Jia calmed down a bit, and took advantage of the situation to ask, "Brother Hu is young, but according to the rules of our house, one mother, two big maids, two second-class maids, four third-class maids, What's the matter, besides these two little girls who are only eleven or twelve years old, can't you pick anyone out? These people have been serving you for so long, and I have never seen you say anything bad in the past. How come they suddenly , all of them can’t compare to the young girls who just came up? Boss wife, how long has it been since you bothered with brother Hu? Even if you are pregnant, you should pay more attention to brother Hu’s house The personnel affairs here are now overstaffed, what can you tell me to say?!"

Mrs. Zhang was so angry that she almost didn't laugh. Is Jia's mother accusing her of favoring the younger son more than the older one?Does she have the nerve? !She didn't touch her own conscience and thought about it, the people around Jia Zheng were all carefully selected by her, but what about the people around Jia She, who followed outside?Which one was not found by Jia She himself?In terms of shrewdness and ability, in terms of talent, appearance and conduct, they are far inferior to others.If Jia's mother could give half of the concern for her youngest son to Jia Amnesty, there would be no such situation!

It's too much to criticize her so aggressively now!Mrs. Zhang didn't want to start a fight with Jiamu in front of so many people. After all, she wanted to embarrass Jiamu in front of Jia Daishan and Jia pardoned Jia Zheng. She was afraid that the bad relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would worsen. Jiamu didn't say anything to her face. There must be some obstacles behind her, but Mrs. Zhang didn't expect that Jia's mother said that she was not doing well, but she also said that she didn't care about Jia Hu?This is still in front of the child.During this period of time, Jia Hu's mother Chen had told Zhang Shi about Jia Hu's intelligence. In front of such a precocious child, Jia's mother bluntly said that she didn't care about the child?This is absolutely intolerable to Mrs. Zhang.

In a big family, the relationship between husband and wife is all fiction, only the son is real.Mrs. Zhang is not Jia's mother. The same biological son has to be divided into three, six, or nine grades. With her, Jia Hu is as heavy as Jia Lian, and even the considerate and careful Jia Hu is heavier than the newborn Jia Lian. .Now in the Rongguo Mansion, she has no support from her parents-in-law and husband, and if her son is to leave her, Mrs. Zhang doubts whether she can survive.Mother Jia's sowing dissension like this has touched her rebellious scales.

"The old lady has made my daughter-in-law feel ashamed." Zhang's eyes were red, and the water was shining, and he lowered his head and choked up, "Daughter-in-law dare not argue for herself that she really cared for Brother Hu wholeheartedly that day. I'm also not mentally good, and I really neglected Brother Hu. After careful calculation, Brother Hu fell off the rockery, and I can't get rid of it. If I didn't get distracted and didn't keep an eye on those two girls, they I didn't have the guts to let Brother Hu play alone in the garden. At such a young age, he even climbed onto the rockery and fell off... The daughter-in-law was really scared. Back then, there were two Mulan and Hibiscus, but everyone in the house praised it A steady man, he is an old man in the mansion again. My daughter-in-law never expected that such a steady two would knowingly commit a crime, and dare to leave the master alone in front of a job. The daughter-in-law was worried, and the others in Brother Hu's yard were watching. A sensible girl, maybe what will happen behind her back? I also thought that being younger would be easier to train than those who are more thoughtful... It was my daughter-in-law who made a mistake. If my wife hadn’t reminded me today, there would be girls saying one by one later. If something happens, leave Brother Hu alone, and if something happens, that daughter-in-law will really not be able to live..." Zhang's handkerchief wiped the corners of his eyes, his face full of grief, and at the end, he couldn't bear it any longer. I stopped, and burst into tears, "Although two or three months have passed, I can't forget the bloody appearance of Brother Hu lying on the ground that day. As soon as I think about it, in my heart, that is It's like being pricked by a needle. Ma'am, I feel sorry for Lian'er who was born with difficulty, but Hu'er was also born in my October pregnancy. I was wrong, I was really wrong, how could I think about it just because I cared about Lian'er? Postponing the matter of Hu'er..." She cried uncontrollably, only preventing Jia Daishan and other men from crying loudly, but she was sobbing and unable to hide her sadness.

Jia Amnesty felt distressed at once, glanced at Jia Mu, and shouted to Zhang: "Where is this place, you are crying?" Like Jia Daishan, Jia Mu confessed, "Master and wife, don't blame her, she is also like this." I was terribly frightened, but I was a bit of a stalker, and I saw that everyone was careful. It was I who said, brother Hu is studying with me now, and I spend most of the time in the study, so I don’t need to wait for you, take your time. , Pick carefully, and things like Mulan and Hibiscus won’t happen again.” He’s not an idiot, how tricky was Jia Hu’s falling off the rockery back then?In the end, the big thing turned into a small thing?Those two girls who were sold off in a hurry said that there was a ghost in it.Jia Amnesty just didn't have the guts to quarrel with Jia Mu, Jia Daishan, but it doesn't mean that he can tolerate Jia Mu again and again, after Jia Mu stomped on him hard, and then used this matter to embarrass Mrs. Zhang .Especially now that Jia Hu is getting more and more intimate with him, and he still says in front of him that Mrs. Zhang doesn't care about him?As long as Jia Amnesty thinks of Jia Hu's worried and nervous appearance just now for Mrs. Zhang, his heart aches for a while—Madam, this is too compelling!

Naturally, Zhang's mother Jia didn't care, but Jia Amnesty opened her mouth, and Jia's mother inevitably felt a little guilty.Others don't know, but she knows it in her heart.That day Mulan Mujin was arrested and interrogated if she deliberately harmed Brother Hu. Although these two girls refused to admit it to death, how could Mother Jia believe it?Just ask people to check secretly, is this matter related to Wang's?Jia Hu was her own grandson, if Mrs. Wang dared to harm him, Mrs. Jia decided at that time that even if she offended her youngest son, she would punish Mrs. Wang to go to the ancestral hall to reflect on her mistakes.

Who knows, although it was found out that something was wrong in the end, this person was not the Wang family, but Jia Zheng, the youngest son Jia Mu loved most.Jia's mother still refused to believe it at the time, but everyone swore to her and told her that Mulan was getting old, she looked good, and learned poetry, calligraphy and painting. For some reason, she had an affair with Jia Zheng. Underneath, there is a secret behind it—Mother Jia naturally does not believe that Jia Zheng can murder his nephew, but who knows if Mulan deliberately killed Jia Hu because she wanted to remove the thorn in Jia Zheng's side?At that time, Mother Jia was in a cold sweat from fright, fearing that this incident would upset the two brothers Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng, so she hurriedly sold Mulan Hibiscus.

Jia's mother also knew that her actions were more or less guilty. Maybe Jia She and Mrs. Zhang would suspect that this was done by Mrs. Wang, and she was partial to the second wife and concealed it. It's better to implicate Jia Zheng.Mother Jia doesn't like Mrs. Zhang, no matter what Mrs. Zhang is, she thinks that she is a mother-in-law, so it doesn't matter if she makes things difficult for her. .But Jia Amnesty was different, even if he didn't like it, he was the eldest son after all, and he was worried that he would pursue him again in a fit of anger, and finally pulled Jia Zheng out.

With a stern face, Jia Mu suppressed her guilty conscience and said a little impatiently: "Okay, okay, I just said a few more words, but it caused you to talk a lot, don't I also care about it?" Brother Hu’s intentions are not enough?” Paused for a moment, but finally let go, “Let those two girls come over and I’ll take a closer look, if it’s really good, I might as well wait on the second class now.”

Jia Daishan had been sitting silently, now he followed suit and said: "Mother Chen next to Brother Hu is polite, and she does things safely, but one or two people are missing, and I will find them slowly in the future." She glanced at Jia's mother inexplicably, "It's because you have caused so many things that it made the eldest daughter-in-law feel so sad for nothing."

Mama Jin next to Mrs. Zhang went to call someone, but Mrs. Su didn't dare to say a word because she was involved, and only persuaded Mrs. Zhang in a low voice.Jia Amnesty sat with a stern face, occasionally looking at Jia Hu who had been silent all this time, his eyes flashed with distress.After a while, Huizhi Qing'er came over, knelt down restrainedly and kowtowed to Jia Mu Jia Daishan, cautiously did not dare to look up and look around, half lowered his head and waited respectfully for Jia Mu Jia Daishan to ask questions--that was a bit of a normal day Lively.

Mother Jia asked the two of them to raise their heads and looked at it carefully. She wanted to say something, but Jia Daishan asked first: "You are all serving by brother Hu's side. What are you doing serving the master on weekdays?"

Huizhi lowered her head a bit, and said, "Ever since I learned the Three Character Classic, I like the allusions in it very much. Sometimes when I go back to the room after school, I like to read the book again. Most of the things around me are related to Mother Chen. Take care, the younger one is dedicated to serving my brother to eat and drink, and because I can read some words, my mother asked me to read to my brother at night, for fear that the candlelight would hurt my eyes at night."

Qing'er was a little nervous, and waited for Huizhi to finish her sentence, and hurriedly continued: "I can't read and write better than sister Huizhi, but because I came from the village and knew something about farming, grandma asked me to pick up some old people's clothes. The stories I’ve told you, the interesting stories on the farm, I tell my brother to listen to, and let my brother relax when he’s resting.” After speaking, he felt something was wrong again, kowtowed, and his forehead touched the marble floor, making a muffled sound Xiang Xiang said, "The little one once learned some needlework from the mother in the mother's house. Grandma praised that the embroidery of grains and flowers is different from that in the house, and it is very wild, so she asked me to take care of my brother's needlework."

"Each has its own strengths." Jia Daishan nodded, as if he didn't see Qing'er's nervousness, and said to Zhang with a smile, "It's hard for you to remember Brother Hu's studies, so you chose these two on purpose. Very much, Even when you are reading, you have to be careful with your eyes. People like us can’t make jokes about ‘why not eat minced meat’. It’s just that what my wife said makes sense. After all, I’m young, and some things may be too late. Okay. Let them serve in the second class." Then she said to Jiamu, "I didn't notice the lack of people around Brother Hu in the past, well, Linglong on my side stayed in my study for a few years, and still After learning some poetry and books, let her go to Hu'er, and she can also urge Hu'er to work hard on weekdays, so you can give her a promotion."

Mother Jia had no objection, and said with a smile, "Linglong was taught by the master, can she be worse? I don't have the skills anymore. The girl I taught is shameful, but it's just my intention." Pointing to the right side of the room A girl about fifteen or sixteen in blue clothes said, "Don't look at the silver and red needlework, but the snacks are very well made, so go and serve Brother Hu. Poor Hu'er, look at the little girl." His face is thin, so he needs to make up for it." He felt distressed and complained about Jia She, "Hu'er is still a child, if you force him to study like this, don't you worry about tiring his body?"

Jia Amnesty has long been used to being complained by Jia's mother from time to time, whether true or false, and was about to admit his mistake, but Jia Hu suddenly smiled and said: "Mrs. Playing is much more interesting, and I would like to be with my father." Jia She frowned, turned his head to look at Jia Hu, met his smiling eyes, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

Jia Mu froze for a moment, and smiled dryly, "Brother Hu is really sensible." It was just that she felt that she was being humiliated, and she was a little indifferent towards Jia Hu.

Jia Daishan pretended not to see Jia's mother's embarrassment, took a sip of tea slowly, and said to Zhang with a pleasant face: "Lian'er is still young, and you are just about to take care of yourself. You don't have to worry about other things, just one or two things." It's no big deal if you don't take care of things, there is always your wife watching. You just need to take care of your body first and take good care of Lian'er. Brother Hu is studying with his father now, nothing will happen!"

Mrs. Zhang leaned down gratefully: "Master Xie, my wife understands." Not to mention the fact that Jia's mother made things difficult for her, the excuse she made was that she neglected Jia Hu in order to raise her health, and her calm and grateful smile seemed to be really good to Jia on behalf of Jia. My mother burst into tears of gratitude.

Jia Daishan was very satisfied with Mrs. Zhang's knowledge and interest, so he turned his head and gave Jia Mu a warning look where everyone was not paying attention.He also found out about Mulan. Compared with the grandson who doesn't pay much attention, the son is naturally more important, so he also acquiesced in Jiamu's decision to sell Mulan, but he didn't expect that Jiamu's matter has not passed yet When he is young, he can impulsively make things difficult for Mrs. Zhang, which is good, stealing chickens won't cost him a lot of rice. Jia She's already had a hidden fire in his heart, and now it's all exposed.I only hoped that his smoothing the game would make Da Fang less angry, so that he would not go after Mulan again.

People's hearts are biased, even though he is the eldest grandson, Jia Daishan loved Jia Hu in the past, but when it comes to Jia Zheng, Jia Daishan is just an ordinary person, so he is not willing to ruin the future of his younger son.No matter how unbelievable Jia Amnesty is, he is also the eldest son, and there is no big mistake. In the future, the Rongguo Mansion will always be his. Man, should be the best candidate to inherit the title, but now he has no chance of this title due to the order of seniority. This matter should be regarded as compensation for the second child, let's wrong the boss first.And it's not necessarily that Jia Zheng did it, it's just that it was somewhat involved. Fortunately, Jia Hu is safe now, so why make a big fuss?

Incompetent bungler!Jia Daishan secretly scolded Jia's mother, and had to take another look at Jia Zheng—a useless thing, but a maid, if you really like it, just tell his mother clearly, how decent it is to come and go in secret, and make people appear in a crowd things come.Naturally, Jia Daishan did not believe that his youngest son, who is used to being filial and sensible, would harm Jia Hu and Mrs. Zhang, but after all, Mulan had a relationship with him, and Jia Hu fell strangely. If Jia She was to know about this, the two brothers would not be inseparable. of?Jia Daishan sighed, Cunzhou is young after all, he has too little experience, and he doesn't think carefully about things...
