Aristocratic family's career in the Red Chamber

Linglong, silver and red are indeed very stable and capable. Linglong probably served Jia Daishan for a long time. Jia Hu's task of reading often "reminds" Jia Hu that it is time to study and practice calligraphy - with a sense of superiority "given by the elders", but generally speaking, he is still honest, putting on airs to the girl below is a Yes, but he was very polite to Chen's mother.

Yinhong and Linglong are exactly the opposite, the teacher is the most peaceful, ever since she came to Jia Hu's place, she has been obediently listening to Mother Chen's orders, doing whatever she is asked to do, never shirking the excuses.Mother Jia said that she is good at dim sum and food, and she was right. She made Jiangnan dim sum exquisitely, beautifully and deliciously, but she was never greedy for merit. Make trouble—quiet and sensible as if invisible.

Although the two are more sensible than Yinhong, Jia Hu, Chen's mother and others cannot help but prefer Linglong.Although Linglong's temperament is not stable, she is a bit flamboyant, but Yinhong is half a year younger than Linglong, but she can calm down like that without being surprised. This kind of thinking makes Chen's mother Jia Hu have to be afraid, and she is After coming out of Jiamu's place, Mrs. Chen's mother, Mrs. Zhang, felt somewhat estranged.

Jia Hu accidentally heard Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Jin talking about Yinhong, and there was an indelible coldness in her voice: "...Mum helped me find out about the two girls Mulan and Mujin. Mulan's whole family was sold to the mine. After going up to that kind of place, even good people can be ruined. Mulan's bones are not strong, and she will die soon. Her old parents are also disabled, except for the elder brother. , although the whole family was sold out of town, they were taken in by a farm, but nothing happened. The difference between the two was too far, and my mother felt that something was wrong, so she asked someone to check the hibiscus. There was no problem at all, only one , Do you know who owns that farm? But it belongs to a distant relative of the Xue family in Jinling. If it wasn't for the mother's worry, she asked people to check it over and over again, but they couldn't find it out. The Wang family is very capable! I In the past, I only said that my wife was eccentric, but I didn’t think she would even care about her grandchildren for the sake of the second room. How could I trust her? Yinhong looks honest at this time, but we used to look at Mulan Mujin, which one was dishonest? People’s hearts, No one can say for sure, you are not allowed to take it lightly and stare at that girl carefully. It is Linglong, even though it was sent by the master, but the master is also partial to the second room, he is still unbelievable...Let Hui Zhido is staring at Hu'er's food and clothing, don't let anyone take advantage of it..."

Jia Hu, who has received the education of "family inheritance is above everything else" since he was born, can't understand Jia Daishan Jiamu's simple behavior of helping the younger son and planting a deep hatred between brothers and nephews. In his opinion, they are not at all. Do love your son, but destroy your son. As the second son, his status will be inferior to that of the eldest son. Jia Hu looked at him coldly. Jia Zheng didn't have much ability. , It is also lacking in being a person and dealing with the world. Such a person cannot stand up on his own.What will his life be like in the future when he loses his status as the second master of the Rongguo Mansion?If Jia Amnesty stepped on it again, it would be difficult to stand up again.The beloved son of the parents has a far-reaching plan for it.Jia Hu shook his head, fortunately he didn't have too much hope for Jia Daishan's repayment, so he was not disappointed at this time.It's just that, although Jia Hu still laughed and talked to the two girls Linglong and Yinhong afterwards, she was on guard and couldn't trust her.

As the weather got warmer, Jia Lian became more white, fat and cute. Jia's mother, Jia Daishan, didn't show much love for the little grandson, and Mrs. Zhang was also happy to take the little son by her side to take care of her carefully.Jia Hu likes this younger brother very much. One mother and a compatriot did not say anything. Now it is still a blank sheet of paper. There is more room for cultivating trust in the future. As long as you teach carefully, don't be affected by the evil spirits in this house. , Jia Lian will be his best companion and ally in the future.Therefore, when I have time, I often go to Zhang's place, one is to deepen the bond between mother and child, and the other is to see Jia Lian.Both Zhang and Jia She are extremely satisfied with this affection.Mama Jin also said in private: "Brother Hu has become a big brother since he became an older brother, but he is becoming more and more like a big brother. Look at how happy he is with Brother Lian now. In the future, the two brothers will help each other, and they will have a bright future."

Mrs. Zhang was even more careful: "They are brothers and sisters, they naturally have affection. It's just that they are still young and don't know what to do. If they grow up in the future and each marry a wife and have children, they will still have the affection they have today. That's really my luck." Reminding myself, I can't favor anyone else, "Both the uncle and the second master, Miss Min, are not from the same mother, but it seems that the relationship between them is worse than that stranger. I can't control them, but my child, this must not happen." Just let Jin's mother, Su, remind her all the time, and she can't be confused.

Mother Chen knew about this, and she and Huizhi praised Zhang Shi's wisdom in private, and Jia Hu couldn't help admiring Zhang Shi even more after listening to some sporadic things. He treated her with a little more sincerity - not for anything else, but for Zhang's character and wisdom.

Not long ago, Mrs. Zhang told two close mothers that Jia Hu had been more than respectful to her since she was studying with Jia She, but she was not close enough to her. Not long after she finished speaking, Jia Hu changed her attitude, and she was not surprised. ?After that, when Jia Hu came to say hello again, she sat on the side, watching the two brothers Jia Hu and Jia Lian getting close, reading a book by herself, or talking to Mama Su and Mama Jin. , then she will not waste her life.

It's a pity that such a peaceful day lasted only a few days, and the news from outside completely broke the tranquility of the Dafang.

On this day, Jia Hu went to Jia She to study as usual. He had already learned the three-character scriptures and rhythm enlightenment books. Jia She chose Tang poems and Song Ci for him to recite for him. Jia Hu is a new thing, so he studied it very carefully, and he did not stop doing his homework every day, even more serious than before when he was studying. Jia She was relieved, and forcibly changed his habit of lying down in the red silk tent Every day, I waited for Jia Hu to come over early in the study, or pointed out homework, or explained famous allusions, or commented on calligraphy—Jia She is not good at orthodox stereotyped essays, but he is good at miscellaneous studies. Hu benefited a lot, and became even closer to Jia She. Jia She also gained more and more deep respect from Jia Hu, and loved him even more, and the relationship between father and son grew rapidly.

Therefore, when Jia Hu entered the study room but was told that Jia She hadn't come over today and asked Jia Hu to read the book first, he was very surprised.Jia Amnesty treats him no more now than in the past, and that is the most important thing. He obviously agreed yesterday to tell him about the Kaiyuan Chronicle today, so why is he late all of a sudden?It's just a trivial matter, although Jia Hu was surprised, but he didn't take it to heart, and put it away in a blink of an eye.No, he had only read the book for a while, when Qing'er hurried over and said that Zhang Shijue had passed away.Jia Hu was taken aback, dropped the book and hurried to see Mrs. Zhang, grabbed Qing'er on the way and asked what happened, only then did she know that it was Zhang's natal family Jingyuan Hou's mansion who sent someone to report the funeral, saying that it was from the mansion. The second master is gone, Mrs. Zhang used to serve Jia's mother, but when she heard the news, she passed away after being stimulated. At this moment, Jia Daishan and Jia She are still greeting people from the Jingyuanhou's mansion.

Because of his biological mother's mistakes, Zhang Erye lived in trepidation in Jingyuanhou's mansion, but he is good at drilling and pretending, and he is also good at studying. After all, the old Jingyuanhou thought about the relationship between father and son, and he cultivated him very much. However, now that he has just passed through, he has already served as a fourth-rank official. It has to be said that the old Jingyuanhou has put in a lot of effort in it.The eldest brother of the Zhang family, the current Marquis of Jingyuan Hou Mansion, is weak and not really bad, and the fourth son of the heir is still young, so Zhang Erye seems to be the representative of Jingyuan Hou Mansion in the court, very respectable.The emperor looked at the old Jingyuanhou's face, and he also valued him a lot. After the old Jingyuanhou left, Zhang Erye's life can be described as a happy spring, with unlimited scenery.Unexpectedly, good fortune and misfortune depend on it, Mr. Zhang was only happy for a few days, once someone went out to drink, and after drinking too much, he caught a cold when he came back. The symptoms worsened. At the beginning, ginseng and cinnamon were pressed forcibly, but it didn't show up. When the condition got worse, it broke out completely, but it collapsed all at once. After a few days, I didn't even have the strength to speak.The Zhang family invited the imperial physician to come to see him. The continuous supply of high-quality medicinal materials failed to keep him. Mrs. Zhang went to see him last night, but found that he had no pulse...

"Second brother, second brother..."

When Jia Hu rushed to Jia Mu's place, Mrs. Zhang was lying on the couch with a handkerchief and weeping. Her eyes were red and swollen like walnuts. Tears washed away most of her makeup. She cried so hard that Mrs. Zhang covered her chest He gasped, his voice became hoarse.Jia's mother, Mrs. Wang, sat on the side, comforting her in a soft voice, but Jia's mother's face was more disdainful than sad, while Mrs. Wang was glaringly happy and gloating.

"You can't come back to life after death. Sister-in-law, please give me condolences. At any rate, take care of yourself first." Wang comforted, "When Second Master Zhang fell, most of the Hou's mansion will fall. Now you have to be too sad and ruin it. How can I call Mrs. Zhang the Marquis of Jingyuan? Even for them, you should take good care of yourself."

But Mother Jia was a little impatient: "I heard that Mr. Zhang is a measured person in the past, why is he so careless this time, and he went to a banquet after being exposed to the wind and cold, which made his body worse. As long as he is more careful, he will not be so careless. That's it. It seems that the emperor is about to praise him, but at this moment... it would be better to ask someone to say something."

Zhang's cry became even more sad: "Second elder brother is always cautious in doing things, but this time there are rumors from above that the emperor intends to promote second elder brother to be in charge of the Sixth Division of the Inspectorate, so second elder brother insisted I went to socialize for a while... Who would have known that it was just a few glasses of wine, but the condition would worsen? My mother wrote a few times ago to say that I would wait for the second master's birthday and make him a good wine. It's separated..." Wuwu just kept crying.

It's a pity for Jia's mother, the Sixth Section of the Inspectorate is really lacking in the matter, if Zhang Erye can sit in this position, it will help the Jia family to some extent, who knows... they are also unlucky.As long as Jia's mother thought of the fact that the Jingyuan Hou's mansion was so sick, and none of them could do anything, she would feel dissatisfied in her heart.In-laws and in-laws are two surnames who get married to each other through marriage and help each other. Now, most of Jingyuanhou's mansion has collapsed, and they can't help Jia's family at all. I'm afraid Rongguo mansion will help Zhang family again in the future!Mother Jia never looked down on Mrs. Zhang, but now she felt that Mrs. Zhang's crying was harsh: "Stop crying, it's been a long time. After crying for a long time, do you want to lose your body? Second Master Zhang It's your elder brother, Hu'er and Lian'er are your own sons, think about them, you have to stop your tears and cheer up." Thinking of Jia Hu and Jia Lian's two grandsons, Mother Jia tried to persuade her, "Zhang Although the second master has gone, at least Jingyuan Hou is still there, and the emperor misses the old Hou Ye, so he can't lose the Hou Mansion. I heard that your younger brother is promising, and the Hou Mansion has him, so nothing will happen." It's just It may be difficult to restore the situation when the old Hou Ye was there.No matter how capable the younger brother is, he is only the younger brother of the Marquis, not his son. Once the family is separated... Mother Jia thought that she had no hope for the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion, and she took back all the care she had. It was a calm and waveless appearance again.

Mrs. Wang followed suit and said, "Madam is right. I also heard Second Master mention Zhang Siye, but he was young and promising. How much praise did he get when he was only seventeen and passed the Jinshi exam? When he is awarded an official in the future, he will decide If you can bless one side, you will be promoted step by step." Jia's mother frowned, what kind of important job can young people take on?A low-level official, wait until one level after another, and slowly rise to the top, every 20 years, but there is no hope!Immediately, a little more impatience came.Wang rolled her eyes and lowered her head to hide the smile on her lips.The room was filled with the sound of Zhang's choked-up and sad weeping.

Jia Hu rushed in, threw herself into Zhang's arms, wiped Zhang's tears with her small hands, and shouted distressedly: "Mother, don't be sad, the second uncle has gone to the sky, and Hu'er is with you. You Now crying so sadly, Hu'er feels very uncomfortable."

Hearing these words, Mrs. Zhang felt her nose sore, and she was extremely pleased: "Hu'er is so good~"

Jia's mother felt that Zhang's crying was harsh, and with Jia Hu, she said: "Look, Hu'er is scared, mother and child are connected, you cry like this, don't you make him worry about his son? Let’s go, those of us who are alive should think more about the living. Stop your tears now.”

What else could Mrs. Zhang say, although she still couldn't hide her sadness on her face, she finally calmed down and stopped crying.Mother Jia asked Jia Hu to spend more time with Mrs. Zhang: "Your mother is feeling uncomfortable, so you can persuade her to make her happy. It's also your uncle. For these two days, don't go to school and stay with your mother. Seeing that Jia Hu obediently agreed, Mother Jia took Wang Shi away first, and only said that she would go to ask carefully about the current situation in the Jingyuan Hou Mansion.

After all the outsiders dispersed, Mother Su went to fetch a basin of water for Zhang Shijing herself. Zhang Si sat on the couch with Jia Hu in her arms, touched his little head, and said with a smile, "Hu'er is so filial, but Mother has already It's okay, don't worry."

Jia Hu was not worried, she smiled as if relieved, and sat aside obediently.Sure enough, not long after, she heard Mrs. Zhang sternly say: "The second child is dead, but they don't even do superficial skills. They really think that I will never be able to get up in the Jingyuan Hou Mansion!"

Mother Jin snorted coldly: "It's not unusual for them to see the high stepping on the low one more than once." On the other hand, she said happily, "The old lady has sent a letter. The county magistrate of Tai'an is a rich place with a flourishing style of writing, but it is rich and deficient."

Mrs. Zhang sneered: "The one who can have the last laugh really wins. Just wait and see, my Zhang family hasn't completely fallen yet!"
