Aristocratic family's career in the Red Chamber

The appointment came down soon, and Jia Hu's official position was transferred up, and he was officially promoted to the same rank as Tang Bin.At this time, it had only been more than three months since he was selected as an editor in the Imperial Academy, and Jia Hu had jumped a level. This promotion speed was fast enough.

The rest of the Imperial Academy were startled, no matter what they thought in their hearts, they congratulated Jia Hu on the surface, and tried to find out that Jia Hu had gone that way.Jia Hu was only confused, he talked about him from left to right, and didn't answer him at all.

Speaking of which, if Tu Youhao hadn't found out that Master Ding had recommended him, Jia Hu was afraid that he wouldn't even know how he could be promoted. Although he intended to do this, he really had no friendship with Master Ding after all.

Jia Hu is not a reckless person, although I don't know how Mr. Ding, who has always shown that he doesn't like him, would suddenly praise him, but it is not a bad thing after all, is it?Not long after, it was the birthday of Mrs. Ding's old lady. Jia Hu got together and sent a generous gift to Ding's residence to express her gratitude.Unexpectedly, the next day, Master Ding took him to drink tea, looked up and down Jia Hu with unclear eyes, and suddenly sneered: "Sure enough, talented people come out from generation to generation. I am old and old. If the younger generation has your sharp eyesight, my old bones will be able to retire safely."

Jia Hu couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Master Ding's gourd, so he said he didn't dare to take it.Master Ding waved his hand, as if he was also unwilling to talk nonsense with him, and said bluntly: "I saw the gift you sent yesterday, Wu Daozi's ancient painting, this gift is too rich, but since you gave it, I also want to give it to you." No retreat, but some things have to be made clear in person, this time I submitted your name, you must be very surprised? Do you wonder why I did this?" Jia Hu was silent, Master Ding leaned on the chair and looked at it lightly. Looking at the young man in front of him, he said, "In my whole life, I, Ding, have hated people who bully men and women. I have not had a good impression of Xungui for so many years. Your master should have told you about this. See In terms of friendship with your master, I have never made things difficult for you when you entered the Imperial Academy. I have looked at you coldly these days, and you are indeed born to be an official. Right and wrong, there has never been a conclusion in the officialdom. It is rare for you You can see it so clearly at a young age.”

I don't know if it was Jia Hu's delusion, but he always felt that Master Ding's words contained a sense of irony. Jia Hu bowed and did not refute, but said calmly: "I think you have heard my conversation with Li Jun. , let adults laugh."

Seeing that he is still so indifferent up to now, Master Ding has to admire his composure. When he was his age, he didn't have such concentration. "Aren't you laughing? What's there to laugh at? I've been an official for many years to really understand the truth you said. It really deserves to be raised by a high-ranking family. The real knowledge is beyond the reach of ordinary people."

Jia Hu stood upright, eyes slightly lowered: "Your Excellency is absurd."

Master Ding stared at him for a long time, and Jia Hu could feel that his scrutinizing eyes kept wandering around him, as if he wanted to find out some weakness from him.Jia Hu's thoughts turned sharply, she really didn't know Master Ding's intention, she still smiled calmly, calm and composed.

There was appreciation in Master Ding's eyes: "Such a calmness at such a young age is really rare!" When the words fell, Jia Hu suddenly raised his head in surprise and met his gaze, only then did Jia Hu realize that his emotions had already been revealed. Soon he lowered his eyes again, as if nothing had happened.

Master Ding finally let go of his heart at this moment.Although it is rare to see a child who is extremely intelligent, he is much, much better than the average person in the same grade, but it is okay at last, and he is not so smart as to be close to a demon!

In fact, as everyone knows, Mr. Ding has disgust and disdain for noble children in his bones, especially those noble children who are born rich but are poor, he is even more disgusted, just like Jia Hu An outstanding character, thinking of his background, Mr. Ding is unwilling to have more contact with him.

However, Mr. Ding has the righteousness of serving the country and the people in his heart, but he can't let him see that there is a talented person who can be worthy of a pillar, but deliberately suppress him.Master Ding, you can't do this kind of thing.

The change in the impression of Jia Hu is due to the previous turmoil with Tang Bin.As a scholar, love and character are more important than talent and learning ability in the eyes of Mr. Ding.Jia Hu was inexplicably involved in Tang Bin's turmoil. Since then, he has been in constant trouble and rumors, but he looks at it coldly, even in the most difficult time, how Jia Hu and Tang Bin got along in the past, and now they are still the same. Unchanged by external turmoil, this kind of loyalty, even if Mr. Ding is prejudiced against Xungui's children, it has to be said that it is really rare.

This means that Jia Hu came from a noble family, and if he wanted to put away the ordinary Qingliu children, Master Ding had already invited him home and had a good chat with him over wine.But even so, since he knew that Jia Hu could be reused, Master Ding would never allow a great talent to be buried.It was an accident to hear the conversation between Jia Hu and Tang Bin with Master Zhou that day, but Jia Hu was young, but he knew the way to be an official, which really shocked Master Ding. Your son is so familiar with the way of life in the officialdom?Jia Hu is well aware of the three flavors of officialdom, if given a chance, he will be able to fly to the sky and show his talents to the world.

After returning home, Lord Ding hesitated again and again, and finally decided to recommend Jia Hu, not for anything else but because Jia Hu is indeed a talent.

But he inevitably harbored worries in his heart. Jia Hu's wisdom can be said to be innate and intelligent, or it can be said to be deeply scheming.Will I be mistaken and take a wolf for a harmless house cat?

Until just now, when Jia Hu heard his praise, she suddenly lost her mind in surprise, and Ding was completely relieved. Although smart and capable, she is still young after all, and lacks some knowledge.Heaved a sigh of relief, Master Ding said again: "Jia Hu, you are capable. I recommend you because you are talented. Now in the Imperial Academy, your ability is considered first-class. You can be promoted. To be able to handle errands well, the second is to look at your master. I have been friends with him for many years. Since he entrusted me to take care of you, I will take care of you once. This time you sent the painting, and I also accepted it. After the Qing Dynasty, your future depends on what you can do!"

The words were quite blunt, and he didn't even have the idea of ​​entrusting him to Jia Huxu. He looked straight at it, as if everything was just a deal.Jia Hu could imagine how much Master Ding hated seeing him.

After so many years of going smoothly, I really think that I am invincible.Jia Hu smiled wryly to himself, and immediately put away the carelessness that had developed smoothly over the years. He still has a lot to learn, so he can't become arrogant because of this. , I still have a long, long way to go!

"My lord's words, I will remember my lord's words, and I will not dare to bother my lord." Jia Hu said, and he saw the undisguised satisfaction on Master Ding's face. Thinking about it, this lord helped him this time. Just by the way, I couldn't help but rejoice that I was hiding my clumsiness and deliberately showing timidity just now. I think if I had performed perfectly just now, in the eyes of this adult, I'm afraid it's unpredictable, maybe I would regret recommending myself.

After dealing with Master Ding, Jia Hu got out of the house and walked back to the wing where the editor of the Imperial Academy was on duty. Jia Hu looked at the bright sun in the sky and sighed a long time. His own background was a flaw, and now the court is paying more and more attention to literature. Qingwu, if he wants to gain a firm foothold in the Qingliu, he may not be able to rely on Master Xu Wei alone.

Rubbing the Xiuzhu purse at his waist, Jia Hu recalled the scene when Mrs. Zhang gave him this purse: "I only got this purse in half a year, and it looks really nice when I hang it on my son." Mrs. Zhang looked at it with a smile Jia Hu sighed again, "You're so grown up, yet you want me to be a mother to make you a purse. When you marry a daughter-in-law and come home, you don't need me to do it anymore."

That's right, he should think about it carefully, he has chosen the one to marry...

These days, Tu Youhao always feels a fire in his chest, and his mind keeps replaying that handsome face that he approached in front of him when he was joking with Jia Hu that day, that warm breath, that pleasant fragrance on his body... …

It's as if it has taken root in my mind, no matter how much Tu Youhao tells himself not to think anymore, no matter how much he diverts his attention, but when he is a little free, these scenes come out in an instant, clearer and clearer each time , It made his heart pounding.

During the day, when he was on errand, he was in a trance several times and was almost discovered by others. At night, he kept pestering him all the time. He even dreamed about the contents of that book. Jia Hu and him...

Tu Youhao felt that he must be sick, otherwise, how could he suddenly be thinking about it, if he could really "have a try" with Jia Hu that day, how great would it be?

If I had known, I shouldn't have read that book.Annoyed, Tu Youhao tore off the pages of the book that An Yi had brought into the palace with great difficulty and burned it to ashes—unfortunately, it was of no use at all. At night, Jia Hu's figure became more and more clear When he got up, even his voice became softer and deeper...

Waking up again with discomfort all over, Tu Youhao drank water from the palace man with a straight face, picked out clothes and changed them himself, while washing his face, the beautiful maid raised her head and looked at him shyly and affectionately, The pink clothes lined the little face so cute, Tu Youhao sneered, and threw the handkerchief back into the basin forcefully, the water splashed and hit the palace lady all over the face, the blood on her face faded instantly, Kneeling on the ground trembling.

Tu Youhao frowned in disgust: "If you don't have the rules, hurry up and drag them out!"

An Yi secretly spat that the maid was so clueless, who didn't know that Tu Youhao was most afraid of being in a bad mood during this period, but she hurried up to this stall, wasn't she courting death?After the maid was dragged out, An Yi wanted to ask Tu Youhao if he wanted some breakfast, but when he turned around, he was ready to go to court.An Yi hurriedly took a few pieces of pastries by himself and put them away in his purse, waiting for Tu Youhao to present them when he wanted to eat, while trotting along along the way to follow.

Standing in the middle of the court hall in dismay, Tu Youhao was in a daze and didn't get into his heart at what the monarch and ministers said. After a long time, he finally went to court and was free. Tu Youhao was fidgeting in his room for a long time, An Yi really couldn't see it Eye, tentatively said: "Your Highness, I heard that the preparations for Mr. Han's marriage are almost ready. Why don't you go out of the palace to see him? Also get together with Mr. Jia."

Tu Youhao's eyes lit up, no, Han Yan's marriage was well prepared, and as a good friend, he should go and see it, and it was justifiable to see Jia Hu in this way, and he looked at Anyi with happiness He praised directly: "It's still your idea."

He didn't realize it at all. In the past, he wanted to find Jia Hu, so why did he need any reason?
