Aristocratic family's career in the Red Chamber

After driving away Tu Youang, Tu Youhao, Han Yan, and Jia Hu went to the restaurant to drink tea by themselves. Before leaving, Jia Hu smiled and asked Tang Bin if he wanted to go together, and introduced to Tu Youhao: "I'm afraid you don't know him yet." Him? I've been looking for a chance to let you know each other, but I haven't found a suitable one, or how about going to drink tea together today?"

Tu Youhao stared at Tang Bin with icy eyes, but his mouth was very polite: "I have heard about Mr. Tang's reputation. This year's No. [-] Scholar is young, romantic, and full of talent. Who in Beijing doesn't know? It's a pleasure to meet you."

Tang Bin hastily saluted and dared not say: "I can't take it as the praise of the Fourth Highness, it's just an exaggeration from outsiders, and the humble minister is just an ordinary person. If you really want to talk about literary talent, Zifang is a real gentleman worthy of the name."

Tang Bin is not a fool, he was able to get the No. [-] Scholar, he was not just doing a good job, although he didn't know why Tu Youhao seemed to be full of hostility towards him, but he was sure that Tu Youhao must not like him, since In this way, he would not disturb the gathering of Jia Hutu Youhao's three friends without seeing, and just made up a reason, saying: "It is my honor to have the opportunity to drink tea with His Highness, but today here ..."

Seeing his distressed face, Jia Hu immediately smiled and said, "Since you have something to do, let's do it next time." Seeing Tu Youhao, Tu Youhao was in a better mood, and the corners of his mouth curled up, noticing Jia Hu's gaze , Smiled very face-savingly and said: "Master Tang, don't bother me if you have something to do. You are Zifang's friend and also my friend. Next time you are free, come out and have a cup of tea together."

Tang Bin repeatedly said, "Definitely." Jia Hu entrusted him to help tidy up the things on his desk, and left with Tu Youhao and Han Yan.Tang Bin stared at their backs as they walked away, and was stunned for a while. Wang Hanlin, who usually gets along with him in the Imperial Academy, came over, looked at the direction they left, and said enviously: "Jing Everyone in the village knows that the fourth prince Jia Hu and Han Yan are close friends, and now it seems that it is true. The fourth prince actually stands up for Jia Zifang, even Prince Ke's son is merciless. Zifang is very lucky."

Tang Bin did not forget that when Tu Youang came to trouble him just now, this man was just watching the excitement, not daring to say a word, although he also understood that it would not be easy for Wang Hanlin to climb to where he is today if he is wise and safe. But there was a thorn in his heart, and he said lightly: "Zi Fang treats people with sincerity. His Highness knows him, so naturally he also treats him with sincerity. It's not surprising." He turned around and left.

Wang Hanlin stood where he was, his face turned blue and white, seeing people coming and going, he quickly recovered his emotions, forced a smile, and walked away...

Not to mention how the three of Tu Youhao, Han Yan, and Jia Hu were reminiscing about the past and joking together. Here, Jia pardoned Jia Zheng, but they also drank together in the restaurant.

As for the disharmony between the two brothers, everyone in Beijing knows it, but they didn't get it out and say no. It so happened that Jia She heard that there was a batch of good goods in Liuli Street, so he rushed over to see it. That's just the case, I didn't feel disappointed and returned, I wanted to go to the restaurant for a drink, before I went to the second floor, there was a noise at the door, and someone shouted: "Isn't this Mr. Jia?" Thinking about who would call him the old man, he looked back and saw that standing beside the man who pointed at him was not "Second Master Jia" Jia Zheng, who else could it be?

Jia She secretly called it unlucky, I'm afraid I didn't read the almanac when I went out today, that's why I didn't find my favorite item before, and then I met such a frustrated person later.

Jia Zheng was not happy, he happily went out with Qing Ke to drink and discuss books, but it turned out to be good, and he met someone he didn't want to meet, and all the good fun of the day was ruined.

But no matter how upset he is, he will always face it, and this is still outside, a restaurant where people come and go.

Jia Zheng was the first to say hello to Jia Amnesty: "I didn't expect to meet elder brother here. I'm going to have a party with my friends. If elder brother has nothing to do, let's go together?"

If Jia She said that there is something to do on weekdays, it would be over, but today's Xiaoer doesn't know if it's a newcomer who doesn't recognize the two of them or what, but he is not open-eyed. Hearing that the two are brothers, he immediately smiled and said : "This master came alone and didn't invite friends."

Hearing this, the eyes of one of Jia Zheng's Qing customers lit up, and he said with a smile, "Isn't this a good time? Drinking and chatting, it's lively when there are many people."

Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng were all unwilling, but in the end they sat at the same table.A few people called a box, ordered wine and food, and chatted.There were two Qing guests brought by Jia Zheng, one surnamed Wang was a clerk from the Ministry of Industry, the other surnamed Zhou was a son of a poor family. The Wang scribe was the one who was called Jia Amnesty at the beginning. Since he sat down, he has been pestering Jia Amnesty spoke and toasted one cup after another: "I heard that the Elder Master is the elder brother of the Second Master, and his attainments in gold and stone are so proficient that everyone in the capital knows that there are many things on Liuli Street that you must pay attention to. Don't be afraid." You are joking, I am a humble and poor man, so I don’t know these things, but I also know that these calligraphy and painting antiques are good things that have been handed down from generation to generation, the Elder Master is proficient in this way, and his attainments are extraordinary, it is truly remarkable.”

Jia She was born rich and powerful, and I've seen this kind of sycophant a lot. Hearing his toss-up flattery, I got bored and laughed in my heart. It's not shameful to call yourself a brother!Just as he was about to reprimand the scribe Wang, he suddenly caught sight of Jia Zheng's livid face from the corner of his eye. Looking at the scribe Wang's eyes full of anger and resentment, his mood suddenly improved. In the second child's heart, he already hates him so much that he wants to kill him!At this thought, Jia She became cheerful, from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, there was no discomfort on his body, and he smiled kindly at the Wang scribe, "Your Majesty Wang, you are welcome, I am just playing around with nothing to do, my friend." You only give me some face because you give me face. But Mr. Wang, are you working in the Ministry of Industry?"

When talking about his errands, Wang Shuli was full of bitterness: "My lord, don't embarrass me, I am just a little scribe, I can't be called your lord, but I just work for the lords on weekdays." Job, you are the 'adult'!"

Jia Zheng's lips were tightly pursed. Jia Amnesty knew him best, but he knew that he was extremely angry, and felt that Wang Shuli, who had no wink, was really an idiot who didn't even have the vigilance to look at people's faces The second child was about to turn his back on him, he flattered himself without feeling it, he was not sure why the second child would wear small shoes for him, but what business did it have to do with him?The man was brought out by the second child, but people still looked down on him. Knowing his identity, he came over to please himself. Speaking of everyone, the second child had no ability to judge people!

Jia Amnesty was in a very good mood, smiled and said to Wang Shuli: "Although you are a scribe, you have entered the Ministry of Industry and lead an errand, right? I think you are a good person, and you will definitely be promoted."

Wang Shuli's eyes lit up immediately, and he said excitedly, "My lord really thinks that I am a good person?" It was as if Jia She's words were his life-saving panacea, and he was very happy.

Jia Amnesty began to understand how Jia Zheng would deal with such an idiot. Although he is a bit stupid, it is still fun to talk with him, especially his flattered appearance, as if you can make a decision with just one word. He lived and died, in front of Jia Zheng, Wang Shuli raised Jia She up in Jia Zheng's face like this, Jia She was about to fly up, not to mention how happy he was!Just let the second child suffer such a big loss from Wang Shuli, if he can help, he will definitely help!

Jia Zheng felt Jia Amnesty's sneering eyes, his cheeks twitched twice, and his eyes darkened.It's a shame, this old king, if he hadn't been flattering me all the time, how could I have brought him out for a drink together? Unexpectedly, I used him as a springboard, and in front of him, I was so shameless and eager to face him. Jia She wags her tail...

Today, I lost my face!

Zhou Juren has been with Jia Zheng for a while. He is a poor student. He came to Beijing to take the exam three years ago, but he failed the ranking. He missed the prosperity of Beijing and did not go back to his hometown. How difficult is it to gain a firm foothold in China?After struggling for a few months, I almost couldn't make it through. When I was planning to go back to my hometown, I met Jia Zheng. Yes, you're welcome.

In fact, Zhou Juren also understood that Jia Zheng took him in as a clean guest, but it was only for face. Intersecting, being a guest at his house, outsiders know that he also has a radiant face.In the early years, Zhou Juren could still look down on Jia Zheng's repeated trials and failures, and he didn't even get a Jinshi. With Jia Zheng's monthly money, this time the imperial examination was also called Luosunshan. Zhou Juren lost the pride of his early years, and followed Jia Zheng wholeheartedly to solve his problems. He was afraid that Jia Zheng would be displeased for a while, and he would be driven away. Leaving Jia's house, if he wanted to live such a good life again, he couldn't do it anymore.

At this time, seeing the scribe Wang flattering Jia Amnesty without regard for Jia Zheng's face, Jia Zheng was extremely angry, his heart moved, and he said with a smile: "Young Master Jia visited the streets and went to the Imperial Academy. I don't know how many people he envied. It is really a blessing for the elder to have such a son."

Jia She stroked his beard, nodded with a smile and said, "It's all the blessings of the ancestors, and the blessings of the ancestors!"

Jia Zheng gritted his teeth in hatred, and glanced coldly at Zhou Juren, wishing he could be stripped alive.Eat his food and use his food, dare to eat the inside and outside?Praising Jia Hu in front of him, he forgot that his own Jia Zhu failed the exam?Look at what Jia She said, the ancestors bless and accumulate blessings, isn't he from the Jia family, the ancestors don't bless him?

Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng's brothers were like Zhou Juren, like a king's clerk, ungrateful for profit and flattering a villain. The next moment, he heard Zhou Juren say: "Master Jia became famous at a young age, and his journey to success is really admirable. Literary and elegant, let me wait for these old people, but I am so ashamed." Jia She laughed complacently, only to hear him go on to say, "It's just that the villain is here, so I have to say something more. Literary talent is very important, but people are born In this world, this truth must be understood even more. Filial piety is the first thing to do, but the number one scholar in the current family has many disagreements with the elders of the clan. As the saying goes, those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black. Good friends? You need to know that you have been in the place of abalone for a long time without smelling its stink, sir, you need to persuade Xiao Jia more to be a good person, so as not to damage your reputation."

The anger on Jia Zheng's face melted like ice and snow in an instant. Seeing how gentle Zhou Juren's eyes looked, he said, this old Zhou is a good man. Sure enough, he did not disappoint himself.

Jia Amnesty looked at Zhou Juren with a cold air, and was silent for a while, then suddenly sneered, picked up a pot of vinegar and lotus root on the table, and smashed his head on his face...
