Aristocratic family's career in the Red Chamber

The news of Wang's happiness spread to Rongguo Mansion the next day. At that time, everyone was having breakfast. After hearing this, Jia's mother put down her chopsticks and shouted for God's blessing: "My second brother is not fat at the knees, and now I have another brother. It will be good." Yuan Chun also had a happy expression on his face, and he became an older sister himself.

Jia Amnesty was very calm, but curled his lips at this: "Now the second child is going to be happy again."

Mrs. Zhang looked at Jia Hu and Jia Lian with a smile: "no matter how happy he is, it's not sure whether he is a son or a daughter. Even if he becomes a star of Wenqu and goes down to earth, it will take at least fifteen or sixteen years to become a talent."

Jia Amnesty stared at him: "Hey, he is the only one who can give birth to a Wenqu star? Even if the fairy boy from the sky descends to the earth and falls into his family, he will have to be raised." Huanxi looked at his two sons, "His ten sons If you tie them together, they can't match my son." After being proud, he scolded Jia Lian again, "Where have you been slacking off these two days? The sixth uncle in school has come to complain, and you haven't handed in your homework for several days."

As for this youngest son, Jia Amnesty was persuaded by the Zhang family and Jia Hu, and he did not expect him to come back from the exam as a Tanhualang like his brother, but he couldn't be unpromising, just like what Zhang family said, two brothers are too poor Many, in the future, others will be able to compare the brotherhood. Therefore, Jia Lian is good at economics, and Jia She can cultivate his talents in this area, but Jia She can't tolerate him being too mixed up in reading.

Jia Lian has not yet reached the point where brotherhood is weak due to jealousy of his elder brother. Over the years, Jia Shezhang has no preference for him and Jia Hu. Jia Hu treats him very well, and the brotherhood is very good. The second time Jia Hu went to high school, Jia Lian was not only not unhappy or jealous, but even proud of it, which shows the good relationship between the two.If possible, Jia Lian also hopes that he can become more like Jia Hu, but unfortunately, his talent in reading and martial arts is really mediocre, and it's okay to use it to fool those who don't know how to do it.Especially now that he met a corrupt Confucian teacher, Jia Lian became more and more troubled about reading.

"Father, don't rush me." Jia Lian said with a bitter face, "The questions assigned by the sixth uncle are so annoying, they are completely different from what the elder brother taught. Good student trained me a lot and asked me to come back and rewrite... I really don’t know how to write it.”

Jia Amnesty picked up a piece of hair cake and threw it on Jia Lian's forehead: "You're still reasonable, if the master asks you to do your homework, then do your homework. How can there be so much nonsense!"

Mrs. Zhang waited for Jia Amnesty: "What are you doing, you throw things at your son like this?" Then she asked Jia Lian, "You said you asked your elder brother to teach you to do your homework, but the sixth uncle is not satisfied. What's the matter? Why do you have to rewrite it?" His son was selected by Tanhua, and Jia Dairu was not satisfied with the homework he taught his younger son?

Jia Lian was also annoyed when he talked about this: "The sixth uncle is annoying. Ever since Brother Zhu failed the exam and was sick at home, he deliberately targeted me in school. He knew that my progress in studying was slow, and he deliberately asked me to get up to answer questions in class. I answered it. No compliments, if I can’t answer, I will say that I am not as good as my elder brother, and I will bear the title of Tanhualang’s younger brother for nothing-it’s so annoying! My brother taught me the homework of writing, and he also said grandstanding, not orthodox, he is not Tanhua, just Said brother, father, I don’t want to go to school in the clan, those people, it’s so boring.” They all compared him to Jia Hu, especially now that Jia Hu won the prize, and those his opponents were even more sneering at him, What do you say that he is ignorant and far inferior to his elder brother? Jia Lian knows that these people are just jealous that he has a good elder brother. They want to separate their brothers because of jealousy, which is too hateful.

Jia Amnesty scowled and shouted: "What about the elders, are there any rules?"

Mrs. Zhang was obviously very displeased with Jia Dairu's actions. What did he mean? He always compared Jia Lian with Jia Hu. The two had different talents. Can they be compared together?He and Jia She have been very careful about their attitude towards Jia Lian and Jia Hu since they came here, for fear that their brothers would be divided, and this Jia Dairu would come to add to the chaos.But in front of Jia She and his two children, Mrs. Zhang really couldn't say anything wrong with her elders, so she could only give Jia She a wink and told him not to scold the children, but said to Jia Lian, "Don't listen to you. For the sixth uncle, you also said that he has been in a bad mood because of your elder brother Zhu's poor health. Just be yourself. If you really don't like going to school in the clan, I will hire you a husband with your father later. Come home and teach you alone."

Jia Lian's eyes lit up: "Can I? Then I want Jia Rong to come and study with me."

Jia Amnesty was slightly dissatisfied, and said: "Madam, don't spoil him and spoil him, a loving mother often loses her children."

Mrs. Zhang rolled her eyes at this dull man. Has he still not seen where the problem is?

Jia Hu asked Jia Lian in a low voice, "Why do you only ask Jia Rong to study with you, don't you like everyone else in the school?"

Jia Lian shook his head: "I don't like it, I'm so annoyed. I keep saying how good my elder brother is, how good I am, and how bad I am. He also said that in the future, my elder brother will be a nobleman, a high official and a rich salary. I can only rely on my elder brother for the rest of my life. I will definitely be annoying when you see me in the future..." Jia She Zhang's family and Jia Hu's face all changed, and Jia Lian laughed again suddenly, "Don't worry, brother, I won't take their words seriously. Brother treats me well, and I will definitely not in the future It will bother me, besides, I will not be so useless, I will never rely on my elder brother and tell my elder brother, I will try my best to be a scholar or a scholar, if it is not enough, I will practice my martial arts and go to the palace as a guard , from now on, I will be following my father's Blood Gold Stone Antiques, I have a lot of money, and my life must be good, those people just talk nonsense if they don't understand, I don't care about them."

When Dafang was struggling in Rongguo Mansion, Jia Lian was young and didn't remember many things, but he deeply remembered that year, when Jia Hu almost disappeared in the palace, Mrs. Zhang hugged him and kept crying. He also had a frowning face, and when he woke up at night, he could still hear the nanny Zhao and others sighing: "If Brother Hu is gone, our wife might not be able to make it through... The old lady is just as if nothing happened. After all, he is also her own grandson." During that period of chaos, what Jia Lian remembered most were Zhang's tears and Jia She's sighs, but the elder brother who had always been good to him was never there.But his grandmother, aunt, and even brother Jing in the next room just said a few words to him, and then went about their own business.From then on, Jia Lian took to heart what Mrs. Zhang said in his ear—only he, Mrs. Zhang, Jia She, and Jia Hu were the real family, and the rest were outsiders.

When he really started to remember and understand things, the family situation has begun to improve. Rongguo Mansion has become the world of their big family. The father is dignified, the mother is kind, the elder brother is friendly, and he is mischievous. Every time he makes trouble, he breaks his father's antique calligraphy and painting. Yeah, when my father was furious, my elder brother and mother would always come out to plead for mercy. My father looked angry, but in fact he was just talking fiercely, and never beat him.I heard from my mother that my grandfather used to beat my father all the time, so now my father doesn't beat them unless necessary.

When he was getting older, his talent in reading and martial arts was obviously not as good as that of his elder brother. After a period of disappointment, his parents agreed to let him learn the economic career that he was interested in under the persuasion of his elder brother. Show your true nature, so as not to let others know and underestimate yourself... Jia Lian knows this painstaking effort.

Those idiots in the school still think how smart they are, learning to sow discord, trying to destroy his relationship with his eldest brother, and make him resent his parents, hmph, really think that he can't read well and his brain is broken?Can he tell who kisses whom?Would he not believe his parents and elder brother to believe the words of this group of people?Jia Lian despises this group of brainless things, and he has no big ambitions, so he can't learn from the hustle and bustle of officialdom. The path arranged for him by his parents and brothers is just right.He will not be instigated by these people.

But if this matter is to be used to sue in front of Jia Shezhang, it would be great if he can completely break away from the ethnology of the sixth uncle.They are all fathers, saying that studying is no longer enough, so he might as well study clans to build a good relationship with the clansmen, so that they can help each other in the future - he doesn't care about those who are jealous of their good family background!

Now that father knows their true colors, he can always remove himself from the ethnology, right?He was tired of seeing the old face of the sixth uncle with orange peel.Jia Lian suppressed his joy and watched with satisfaction as Jia She and the Zhang family patted the table and were furious.

"Those bastards, how much do I donate to the clan every year, and when will I spend less on paper and ink in the clan every month? Eat what I have and use what I have. How dare you gossip like this." Jia She was furious. , waved his big hand, and said to Jia Lian, "Don't go to school there in the future, what a big deal, Uncle Liu puts on such a high profile, he is not a Jinshi who was only in his [-]s and [-]s, and now he dares to be so picky about my son. Elder, don't forget that he is a member of the family. These years, if our Rongguo Mansion has not been helping the clan, he can live so well?! Now those students come to plot against my son, he doesn't care, I think he It's been a long time, and I really think of him as my serious elder."

Jia Dairu was the child of the old Duke and his aunt, and he was still the child of a maidservant. For the sake of his elders, Jia She had turned a blind eye to Jia Zheng and Jia Zhu when he favored him over the years. This man really pushes his limits, and now he is humiliating his son.Is it tolerable or unbearable, what's the big deal, he invited a Jinshi to come back to teach his son to read alone, and then called Jia Rong over, and the cost of learning will be halved in the future. , dare to be so arrogant!

Mrs. Zhang was also very angry. Brothers Jia She and Jia Zheng had learned from the past. Mrs. Zhang was usually very careful for fear that the two sons would be separated, but she did not expect that there would be someone behind her back doing tricks.Seeing Jia She's furious, Zhang rolled up his sleeves and poured oil on the fire: "Don't be so hasty to make a conclusion, maybe Sixth Uncle really doesn't care? It's not like you don't know him It hurts Jia Zhu so much, Brother Zhu is sick and can't come to school now, he is also in a bad mood, it's normal if he can't take care of it."

It was fine if she didn't say anything, but when she said it, it aroused Jia She's thoughts, and she became more annoyed immediately, and said angrily, "Why don't you care about it, he has intentions at all. He has always regarded Jia Zhu as a treasure, thinking we Brother Hu didn’t go to school because he looked down on him. Before Chunwei, he was so swearing that Brother Zhu would pass the exam. As a result, his name fell to Sun Shan, but our Huer passed Tanhua. He had a grudge against Huer and deliberately Tossing Lian'er." While cursing, "I treat him well enough on weekdays, I don't think about it, people don't remember my kindness, okay, then everyone will go to the sky, I don't believe it anymore, it's gone Him, it's still difficult for my son to go to school." Let Jia Lian Ming'er not have to go to school, "You read the books by yourself first, and when you turn around, Dad will find you a good teacher."

Jia Lian was so happy that he almost jumped up and called out twice: "Father is wise." Still laughing, he tilted his head and met Jia Hu's helpless eyes, begging for mercy in a low voice: "Brother, I What they say is true, those people really have no good intentions. But I can’t read at first, so let them talk if they like, I don’t care.”

Jia Hu patted his head as he did when he was a child, and sighed: "Forget it, since you don't want to go to school so much, then you don't want to go. But you have to remember that you can't miss your homework, at least at least, you have to give it to me." I passed the exam and came back with a Juren."

Jia Lian raised his eyebrows: "Cheng, don't worry brother, I will never disappoint you."

Jia Hu shook his head and laughed: "You, you have such a brain, you can coax people around at such a young age, when you grow up, you will count the money for you if you don't sell people?"

Jia Lian didn't take it seriously, but said happily, "That's good. When I grow up, I'll go out pretending to be gentle, and come back with a lot of money. I have to build a golden house for myself." Gang stared straight at him, and suddenly remembered that his elder brother hated vulgar things like gold and silver the most, so he hurriedly apologized and changed his words, "No, what I mean is, collect the antique calligraphy and paintings in the whole warehouse, not only rare ones, but be filial to your father "Anyway, those antique calligraphy and paintings are also very valuable.

Jia Hu shook her head, she couldn't figure it out, how could her good brother be so rich?He is obviously a noble son, but he knows he wants to make money at such a young age...

The two brothers communicated in private. Over there, Jia She and Zhang had already deliberately targeted their eldest family from Jia Dairu to the second room to instigate them behind their backs. Jia She decided angrily to go to Jia Zheng's place for a drink in a while, and tell him that there is a son of Tanhualang. What a long face.

Make him unhappy?Hmph, he makes people even more unhappy.My son is doing well now, and his back is straight.Jia Zheng thought about failing in high school all his life, and his son also failed the exam. He, Jia Amnesty, was mediocre, but his son was struggling.Hmph, pissed off you hypocrite!

In a few days, Jia Amnesty indeed invited an unemployed Jinshi from outside to come back to the mansion to be Jia Lian and Jia Rong's husband. He went back and talked to Jia Jing, and directly cut off the annual expenses of the Rongguo Mansion for the ethnology. He didn't hide it from Jia Jing: "I donate so much money because firstly, it's all from the Jia family. I can't just care about my own wealth, and secondly, I want my son to benefit. But I don't have less money every year, but these people Stabbed me in the back, so I'm full and have nowhere to spend my money?"

Jia Jing had nothing to say, and let him go with a splitting headache.

Since then, Jia Lian has escaped the sea of ​​suffering. He read books for half a day with the invited Mr. Chen Jinshi every day, practiced martial arts in the afternoon, learned antique knowledge from Jia She in the evening, and learned to settle accounts with the account book of a Zhuangzi shop in Rongguo Mansion. But in high spirits.

Jia Hu stayed with Jia Lian for a few days to make sure that there was no problem between the brothers. At Xu Wei's request, he accompanied him to a banquet between scholars and scholars.

He is about to formally enter the Imperial Academy as an errand, and Xu Wei happened to take him to meet the old man of the Imperial Academy, to help him clear up the relationship, and to make his stay in the Imperial Academy smoother...
