Aristocratic family's career in the Red Chamber

What can happen in a month and a half?

Xi Yan, who had a broken leg, was able to slowly move a few steps in the room under the doctor's open treatment; Tang Bin quickly got engaged to the young daughter of Kong Duan's scholar's family, just in time for the death of Prince Ke, Before the concubine of his family became the princess of the county; after the concubine of the Tang Dynasty became the concubine of the county, the second daughter of the fourth master Li of the Li family made a marriage contract with Tang Ning. The fourth brother, who is currently the prefecture of Tongzhou, is said to be very satisfied with Tang Ning's status as the grandson of Tang Ge and the nephew of the princess of the county. Tang Ning followed his cousin, the new prince of Ke County, and went to the palace to meet the empress...

There were more and more things about the Tang family. Jia's mother was as immobile as a mountain, just waiting to see Jia Hu's misfortune. For this reason, Wang went back to her mother's house several times, and secretly laughed with her sister-in-law Zhou.Jia Amnesty was timid, so when he came back, he dragged Jia Hu to talk, blaming him for bringing back a hot potato.But things have come to this, Jia Hu has never regretted what he has done, even if Jia Amnesty gets angry again, he can't persuade him to drive Xi Yan out, so in the end he can only complain to Mrs Zhang helplessly, the older his son is, the more disobedient he is, Up to now, it is only pointed to his master who can protect him.

"How good is that Tang Bin with Brother Hu? Brother Hu helps him like this? Now that the Tang family has climbed up to the eldest prince and empress, I'm afraid that if I'm not careful, we Hu'er will suffer." Jia She said Thinking of this incident, he was very worried. Zu Youde gave birth to such a handsome and capable son. Jia She was really afraid that if he was not careful, his good son's future would be delayed. He is still so young.

Ms. Zhang is full of complaints. It's not that she doesn't believe that her son is incapable of dealing with the difficulties in the officialdom. After all, she doesn't have the support of relatives, friends and old friends. It's not certain whether she will be involved. What worries her is, For no reason, such a trouble occurred, and the originally good situation was completely ruined. Jia Hu's marriage made her very worried.

"It's very rare for my son to pass the exam as a Tanhualang. He is a noble man in Beijing. Whose sons and grandchildren are as promising as my son? Can he be literary and martial, have outstanding looks, and have a good temper? I'm not boasting. Which girl can marry me? My son, it was really cultivated in my previous life. After Hu’er won the exam earlier, how many people came to talk to me and wanted to match Hu’er? Now it’s good, one by one, they still shirk me, looking at me and trying to sit still Gao Tai looked at it first, bah, they pick and choose my son?" Her own son was in pain, and Mrs. Zhang thought of the changes in the faces of those people, wishing she could spit on their faces, her liver trembled with anger, and she was so angry Jia Hu was disobedient, and there were so many troubles at the moment of marriage negotiation, and he hated those people who talked about marriage repeatedly without sincerity, "My son has such a character, why can't he find a good marriage? These people dare to do this today Treating me is obviously not a good thing, my son will never marry a girl from such a family!"

But having said that, Jia Hu could see that he was going to be in trouble, who didn't want his daughter to live a good life, Jia Hu was really unlucky, they married their daughter, didn't they just push her daughter into the fire pit?It's just that I don't feel sorry for my daughter. After raising her for more than ten years, it doesn't matter whether she can benefit from sending her to the fire pit. There are so many families in Beijing, so it's not difficult to find another one by myself?Why hang yourself in your Rongguo Mansion?Those who love their daughter are even more so, they have a wait-and-see attitude in their hearts, just waiting to see if Jia Hu can cope with the current test, this is because Jia Hu is really a good boy.

The Zhang Family's Jia Amnesty sighed. At the beginning, everyone was praising the situation. It was because the Tang family's direct branch was now connected with the eldest prince and queen's faction, and his son did a little favor for his friend, but ended up in such an embarrassing situation. situation.

The couple sighed in silence for a long time, feeling particularly uncomfortable.Especially Jia She, when his father Jia Daishan was alive back then, four kings and eight princes, who would dare to disrespect the Rongguo Mansion?Not to mention a clan of Prince Ke's Mansion, even the princes and grandchildren are polite when they come to Rongguo Mansion.Now that he has only been a prince for more than ten years, the scenery of his old father has become a thing of the past. His son is outstanding, but he has no one to help him, and he is helpless in everything he does.When I think of these things, I feel so panicked that I can't sleep all night.

Mrs. Zhang knew that he was unhappy. Although she felt sorry for her son, she had been in love with Jia She for decades, and it was not fake. She hesitated to discuss with him: "Why don't we talk to Hu'er and let him send him away?" , Although it’s a bit late, it’s still a statement, isn’t it?” Even though his family has declined a lot, after all, Jia She still has the title of first-class general. A little bit, the eldest prince will not embarrass his family if he thinks about it.

Jia She flatly refused. "Handing people over now, what do others think of Hu'er?" Don't look at Jia She's yelling fiercely, scolding Jia Hu bloody and useless, the outstanding eldest son, the eldest son who gave him a face, Jia She How can there be no pain in the bottom of my heart?Born in an honorable family, even if you have never experienced those tricks in the officialdom, have you heard of them?Jia Hu is not a member of the family of honorable military generals, but Tan Hualang, who is serious about taking the imperial examinations.If Jia Hu kicks people out today, someone will poke Jia Hu in the back the next day and say that he is afraid of the powerful and has no integrity. Then how will Jia Hu hang around in the literati circle in the future?Jia Amnesty was not pleased with his son's confusion, but the situation had deteriorated, so he could only continue on this path, so that Jia Hu could still gain a good reputation for being affectionate, and at least it was not a full loss. "It's really a son and daughter's debt. I owed this kid in my previous life." Jia She scolded, and let Mrs. Zhang take good care of Xi Yan as before, "Hu'er has always been smart. Since he wants to make friends with Tang Bin, let's take him again." No way, just do as he says."

As for Jia Hu's marriage, Jia She was discouraged and told Zhang not to pick it up: "It is said that a friend in adversity sees the truth. We are in trouble now, and we can still marry our pampered daughter. The character is not bad." Where to go, if the son is also satisfied, you can settle it, the second brother Zhu Ge'er has already passed the decision, Hu'er's marriage can't be delayed any longer."

Why doesn't Mrs. Zhang know this, although she is still a little unwilling, her son is obviously able to marry the princess, so now she will be wronged.He didn't dare to say it out of his mouth, but in his heart he only felt that the empress and the eldest prince were extremely domineering.

Jia She thought the same thing in his heart, and felt that he was useless, unable to provide his son with a good background, and was even more angry. He didn't want to go out and offend others, so he stayed in the Rongguo Mansion, not happy to see anyone, and made a fuss. Everyone is silent like a cicada, and no one dares to make mistakes.

These days are not easy. Fortunately, Jia Hu’s good friend Han Yan soon got engaged to the third daughter of Prince Kang’s mansion. Prince Kang specially went to the palace to ask for a title for his daughter. With the title of "Ning", this is worth a hundred times. The second room of Jinxiang Hou's Mansion is full of joy, and Han Yan has also attracted much attention. In this way, Han Yan has not been less likely to go to the gate of Rongguo Mansion. What happened to Jia Hu in the past? , how is it now.Although Tu Youhao had never been here before, he had a lot of courtesy, and he was not unfamiliar with Jia Hu at all. Even behind Jia Shezhang's back, he put away his disapproval of Tu Youhao in the past, and only said that the prince in the palace, I didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince would be so affectionate and righteous.

It's not that Jia Hu doesn't know his parents' worries, but there are some things that he really can't tell his parents about. Could it be that he followed Tu Youhao, but he never planned that Tu Youhao would become a virtuous king in the future, and he would do it himself. Between Hao and Hao, each other is tacit, but they all know the ambitions in each other's heart. They have never been the kind of people who are content with the status quo.The reason he put so much effort into wooing Tang Bin is to train Tu Youhao to be a capable minister in the future, so that he can use him in the future.Every step he took, he had a plan in his heart, and he would never put himself in danger... How could he say these words to Jia Shezhang?I was afraid that Jia She Zhang would faint out of anger just after he finished speaking.

There is no other way, Jia Hu can only bite the bullet and do his own thing every day with Jia Shezhang's meaningful eyes, do his work with all his heart, check repeatedly and never let himself make any mistakes, he can't afford to make mistakes at this stall!

Tang Bin blamed himself: "I didn't expect that you would be dragged down to this extent." Tang Bin really did not expect that Tang Ning would climb into the Li family.Before stepping down, Elder Tang Ge had never stood in line and had always been neutral and loyal to the emperor. Therefore, even when he succeeded to the throne today, Elder Tang Ge did not follow the merits of the dragon. With his own ability, he was still reused later.Although Tang Bin hated his own family, he respected Tang Ge, the pillar of the Tang clan, and followed the same route as Tang Ge. Even if he said that he was married, he was married to the senior scholar Kong Duan. Who knew, Tang Ning This grandson of Tang Ge's grandson actually fell to the queen's side so bluntly, and the letter sent by his father later told him to bow his head, and the Tang family was about to fall to the big prince's side.

It never occurred to Tang Bin that the Tang family, which had never participated in the struggle for succession, would now be involved in such a thing that could destroy the family if one was not careful. Why?Could it be for Tangning's smooth career because he married the Li family?How could Tang Ning and his father be involved with one of Tangning's direct descendants?They just want to revitalize their own branch. Everyone's surname is Tang. If their own branch is prosperous, isn't it also the glory of the Tang family?Why can't the direct branch be tolerated so much?

The elders who have been respecting and studying since childhood are not what I imagined, so is it wrong for me to want to stand in the clear stream, be impartial, and be a neutral official?For a while, Tang Bin's ambition to become stronger grew vigorously.I am in such a dilemma now, isn't it because I am not strong enough?In front of the clan, the direct branch, and the Queen's faction, even if he is not reconciled, what's the use?It's better to give it a try, and fight hard in the officialdom. One day, he will let everyone understand that he, Tang Bin, is definitely not something you can suppress if you want to!He is gold, even if they try to cover him with sand, his light will one day bloom in front of the world.

And before that, he could just see who was his true friend and who was just pretending.

To Jia Hu, he felt really guilty, this is a sincere friend, and he obviously dragged him down. "For my business, let me make it difficult for you." Tang Bin pulled the corner of his mouth with difficulty, and said, "If it's not convenient for you, then, then sell the inkstone and find a place far away , let someone take him away..." Anyway, it can save his life.

Jia Hu frowned and looked at him: "In your eyes, I am such a cowardly person? Don't say that no one has done anything to me now, even if people really stand in front of me, I will never Frowning, you are insulting me by saying this now!"

Tang Bin was ashamed: "I'm afraid it will be difficult for you..." The rumors spread all over the world, and he insisted not to go to the Kejun Palace to make an apology. Marriage has become more difficult now. Obviously, Jia Hu used to be such a young talent, how many people want to recruit him as a son-in-law...

Jia Hu patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, we are all colleagues and friends. Don't talk about these nonsense, I am not a vegetarian. Anyway, my father is also a first-class general. Who can do anything to me? You just Do not worry."

Tang Bin was not relieved when he heard the words, and the troublemaker came to the door.

The prince of Kejun appeared in the Hanlin Academy and shouted loudly: "Master Tang, long time no see." The eyes that shot over were sharp
