Aristocratic family's career in the Red Chamber

Once Zhang Erye died, only the vain Marquis Jingyuan was left in the Zhang family, and the missing Zhang Fourth was no more than seventh-rank. The whole Rongguo Mansion had the habit of being red-topped and white. How low is it?Coupled with Jia's mother's indifference towards Mrs. Zhang, although the servants did not dare to neglect Mrs. Zhang openly, their attitude was much more contemptuous than before.

Mrs. Zhang didn't care too much, she just hid in her small yard to take care of Jia Lian on the pretext of being stimulated by her brother's death, so she just let her stay on her own. Take a good rest in the yard, and Mrs. Zhang seldom goes out in order not to invite people to gossip. Therefore, when she suddenly saw Jia Hu covered in grass clippings, she hurried in and said that Mrs. Wang vomited suddenly in the garden. She was taken aback, especially the content of the words, which shocked Zhang even more: "Hu'er, what did you say? Your aunt vomited? And vomited very hard? How did you know?"

Jia Hu blinked his eyes wide and said, "Of course I saw it. I was still studying with my father in the morning, but Uncle Liu from Li Guogong's mansion later posted a post saying that it was a good item from the Tang Dynasty. I just can't be sure. I wanted to invite my father to help appreciating it, so my father sent me back first. When passing by the garden, I also met Aunt Min." His tone sank, "But Aunt Min didn't seem very happy to see me. " But soon became high again, "Later Aunt Min left first, and I played with Qing'er in the garden. The bamboo is very beautiful, and there is also a flower stand for winter jasmine. Now some flowers have bloomed. I am looking at the flowers. At that time, I saw my aunt and Mrs. Zhou also came out for a walk. I wanted to say hello to my aunt, but my aunt seemed to be very uncomfortable, and she leaned over the grass and vomited violently." Scratching her head, she seemed a little embarrassed, "I At that time, my aunt didn't see me behind the flower stand. My aunt didn't want people to see her uncomfortable. When she saw someone coming, she asked Aunt Zhou to push them away. I was afraid that my aunt would know that I was angry. I didn't dare to go out. Mom, I didn't mean it, I was afraid that my aunt would be angry, so... I didn't mean to be rude."

How could Mrs. Zhang get angry at such a trivial matter, patted his little head, and said, "Mother knows you didn't mean it, so she wasn't angry." After a pause, she carefully asked, "Hu'er, tell me, your aunt doesn't want people Knowing her, feeling uncomfortable? And deliberately asking Mrs. Zhou to dismiss her? Are you sure you read it right? Instead of asking them to ask a doctor, get water to find medicine, but let them go away?"

Jia Hu nodded: "That's right, I just sent them away. The two sisters were originally cleaning girls. When they came over and were about to see their aunt, Mrs. Zhou went over and said that she left a purse in the west courtyard and let them go there Bring it to her. I didn’t ask them to wait on my aunt, and I didn’t say to find a doctor. I think my aunt must feel that she is too embarrassed, embarrassed, and doesn’t want to be seen. My mother doesn’t know, and my aunt vomits so badly It’s amazing, I couldn’t vomit anything in the end, and I still retched all the time. In the end, Aunt Zhou gave her sour plums, and my aunt was better.” Not without liking, “The plums look delicious look."

Mrs. Zhang's heart skipped a beat, and she exchanged glances with Mrs. Su and Mrs. Jin, dragged Jia Hu and said solemnly, "Hu'er, what happened before and after this? Mom is still in a daze. You should carefully talk to your mother about what happened today." Let me say it again, everything, everything, can't be left behind!"

With such a serious matter, Jia Hu seemed to be a little nervous and lowered his head, but the corner of his mouth clearly burst into a smug smile. "Today, I came back from my father..."

Linglong was originally Jia Daishan's waiter for pen and ink. After joining Jia Hu, she took the place of Chen's mother and accompanied Jia Hu to study in Juaishe's study every day. Let's go together, after all, a second-class person is justifiable even if he is a helper.

This time Jia Hu was unexpectedly free, so Linglong said that the weather was just right, so she could go for a stroll in the garden.Jia Hu naturally knew that this was actually because she wanted to be lazy and go shopping in the garden, but now that the weather is getting warmer, Jia Hu is indeed a little tired from studying every day, and going for a walk is indeed in his mind, Jia Hudang even agreed .

The Rongguo Mansion was the residence of officials in the former dynasty. After the founding of the country, it was given to the Rongguo Duke who was enshrined for meritorious service. Not to mention its geographical location, the buildings inside were also extremely exquisite and luxurious. A few more repairs will give it a burst of magnificence, but generally speaking, it is still extremely exquisite.In the garden, the gardener planted a lot of exotic flowers and weeds according to Jia Mu's liking for gold, precious and rare things. There are many varieties that were improved by grafting. Some ordinary flowers and plants were also taken care of extremely delicately. Looking at it along the way, Jia Hu didn't care at first, but now he really has some interest.Ask Linglong to tell him one by one that Jia Hu went from the small garden all the way to the big garden. When he saw pavilions, pavilions, rockery and waterfalls, he felt dazzled, but he had an intuitive understanding of the financial resources of the Rongguo Mansion. As expected of a nouveau riche who has made military achievements, it seems that taking advantage of the chaos of war, he has made a lot of benefits.

But Jia Hu is also very curious, even if he accumulated a large amount of property back then, in this peaceful age, there is no windfall, and the Rongguo Mansion is so extravagant, is it really all right?At the current speed of squandering in the mansion, I'm afraid Jinshan Yinshan can't support it~ I was so happy to see that a group of people came from the opposite side. Gemstone steps, pearl tassels shining beautifully under the eyes, a small jacket embroidered with smoky green lilies, and a yellow ancient pattern double butterfly cloud-shaped thousand-water skirt meanders and drags the floor, occasionally raising hands, a pair of warm and white wrists like snow The top-grade mutton fat white jade bracelet exudes a transparent beauty - such a simple but extremely extravagant and bright dress, who in the whole house has the qualifications except Jia Min?

Linglong hurriedly led Jia Hu over to pay her respects. Jia Hu didn't say what she was thinking to this aunt, but she was very polite and respectful on her face. She looked up at her cute little face and smiled sweetly at Jia Min. , Shouted crisply: "Aunt Min~"

It is said that such a cute little person, Jia Min, who is at the age of loving all kinds of delicate, beautiful and lovely things, should be very fond of it, but unfortunately, the fact is the opposite. Facing such a well-behaved little person, Jia Min frowned directly, and asked Linglong impatiently, "This is the time when Brother Hu is studying, right? Why did you come here to play?" Finally, she still remembered that Linglong came out from Jia Daishan's side Yes, not terribly mean.

Linglong is also a smart person. Judging from Jia Min's posture, she knew that she might not be very happy to see Jia Hu, so she immediately gave up her intention of flattering her, and replied politely: "Young Master Liu from the Duke of Liguo's Mansion is here!" The post asked the uncle to go out to the party, and the uncle gave my brother half a day off. He told my brother to complete twenty large characters after lunch break in the afternoon." Simply recounting the facts, without a half-sentence of superfluous words.

Jia Min didn't say much when he heard the words, but just glanced at Jia Hu lightly, and said with some bluntness: "Brother Hu is just at the time when he is making progress in his studies, so he should pay more attention to the books. Since the elder brother let him go on vacation, then it's fine." It's just that you have to write carefully in the afternoon." There is no intimacy, no concern, but just a face-saving greeting, and this is only for a child under four years old, which shows how much Jia Min hates Jia Hu.In fact, Jia Hu did nothing wrong. In fact, if he was not Jia Shezhang's son, but Jia Zheng's child, Jia Min would be more than happy to love this smart and lovely nephew. Unfortunately, His mother is the Zhang family who has always made Jia Min unhappy, and Jia She is also the elder brother that Jia Min has always looked down upon.The most important thing is that after Jia Hu's cleverness was shown, Jia Zhu in the second room was overwhelmed, mediocre and incompetent. For this reason, Jia Zheng has been staring at Jia Zhu for two or three months. If it wasn't for hindering Jia Daishan and Jiamu, he wouldn't even be given a chance to catch his breath.Jia Zheng is Jia Min's favorite elder brother, and Jia Zhu was brought up by Jia's mother, and Jia Min grew up with her care. Naturally, Jia Hu's affection cannot be compared to that of Jia Hu who is not used to being valued by others.Looking at Jia Zhu's little face that is quickly haggard and thin because of studying hard, and looking at Jia Hu's blushing face and sweaty forehead, white, tender and healthy appearance because of walking too much, Jia Min's heart is naturally straight. He leaned towards Jia Zhu, but he didn't have a good look at Jia Hu.

Originally, one didn't like it, and the other didn't matter. After a few pleasantries, they could separate and go back to do their own things. However, Jia Min was unhappy, so he muttered casually: "Brother, too. If you can't settle down and teach your son to read, I shouldn't have taken up this burden back then, and now I'm committing this old habit of wandering around again, and it's wasted delaying Hu'er's studies!" Xing Xing glanced to the side, and curled her lips, isn't she very contemptuous? !

Jia Hu was instantly unhappy.It's not a big deal. It's not the most normal thing to hang out with family friends in a big family. How can it be called wandering around?He is a child who has just been enlightened, even if he has half a day to spare, what can he have?Judging by Jia Min's statement, it seems that he knew that Jia She was not promising, and now he has the attitude that he can't even do such a trivial thing as teaching a child. Deep, but there are also some feelings, and Jia Hu thinks that he is now a big family member, so he and Jia She are both honored and humiliated. Jia Min looks down on Jia She so much, Jia Hu has a very face ?

"Uncle Liu is the second young master of the Duke's Mansion. He specially invited his father to appreciate antiques. He said that his father was quite insightful in the field of gold and stone. Auntie, in ancient times, there were not famous people who were obsessed with studying gold and stone? I have read many related works on my father's bookshelf. Book of Gold and Stone, why isn’t this a good thing? Why did my aunt say he was wandering around when my father went out?” Jia Hu blinked her big eyes and looked at Jia Min innocently, “Father taught me that wandering is not a good word, then It's something that idlers would do. Why did father go wandering by himself?"

Jia Min is the old daughter of Jia Daishan and Jiamu, who has always been held up in the sky for offerings, and she has always been the only one who trips people up, so has anyone dared to run on her?Hearing Jia Hu's words, his face turned red, his bright eyes were burning with fire, and he wanted to reprimand him, but Jia Hu was only so old, his small body was not as tall as Jia Min's waist, and he looked ignorant and ignorant. Jia Min was so angry that she fell on her back, looking from left to right. If she really wanted to lower her face and explode because of the child's childish language, she couldn't afford to lose him.

After holding back for a long time, she squeezed out a sentence through her teeth: "You have only been reading for a long time, so you know so much. I just said that, but it doesn't make any sense."

Jia Huna was willing to let her go like this: "But my father said that day that this is not a good word..."

Jia Min could almost sense the smiles of the servants around her, and she became more and more embarrassed, and shouted: "How old are you, can you know so much? If I say no, then I don't!" After she finished speaking, she regretted it, and Jia Hu pursed her mouth. The eye sockets were red, as if he had been frightened. Seeing this without knowing it, he might have thought that she had bullied him, and who knew that Jia Min's stomach was on fire.

I was not happy, and my little nephew was almost made to cry by me. Jia Min was very bored, and persuaded softly: "Brother is still young, and most of the time, what you say may not be the literal meaning, or it may be a joke. , You can’t just look at the surface.” Jia Hu nodded half-understanding, and finally calmed down, without the previous fear.Jia Min might as well find himself shameless, let her be lazy and pester her here again, and ask Linglong to take care of Jia Hu, shake her sleeves, and leave resentfully.

Jia Hu stood where he was, and sent her away respectfully, his eyes were icy cold.It's just that the youngest girl thinks so little of her elder brother who is going to be the king in the future? !Who is this influenced by?

Linglong Qing'er saw that he was standing there silently, but she thought he was frightened first, so she coaxed him softly and said: "The gardener over there urged a shelf of winter jasmine flowers, they are so beautiful, let's take my brother How about going to see it?" It was said to be an inquiry, but in the end it was half-pushed and half-pushed to take Jia Hu there.

The winter jasmine shelf is right next to the small lake in the garden. It is as long and tall as a wall. Behind it is a rockery. A small waterfall pours from the top of the rockery into the lake on the left. Light, crystal clear and shining, goose yellow winter jasmine dotted among the emerald green flowers and leaves, delicate and delicate, just like the gentle and graceful girl, blending with the noisy water sound, hard and soft, so beautiful .On the right is a winding bluestone path, connecting the corridor with a plum blossom forest in front.At this moment, there were few people coming, and it was very quiet. Standing by the lake and taking a long breath, I felt that all the gloom in my heart dissipated in an instant.

Linglong carefully led Jia Hu around the jasmine trellis, but it was quite unique. There was a long corridor about shoulder length between the two of them, leading to the edge of the lake. There was a large space in the middle, and the craftsman ingeniously placed a stone. The four stone benches on the table are there. Sitting there, you can see the winter jasmine blooming everywhere when you look up. When you turn around, you can see the water color of a small waterfall falling into the lake. What's even better is that there is a big stone blocking the lake. On the side, the inner side of the calf-high stone was cut into a smooth piece, but it just happened to be a guardrail.Aside from the fact that it is a bit colder due to the steam, this place is really a good place.

Linglong smiled and said: "It's very cool in summer, but it's a good place to escape the heat, but after all, it's smaller, the master doesn't like to come here very much, but it's cheap, we servants often come here in summer." Don't dare to call Jia Hu approached the lake alone, and wanted to pick him up, but Jia Hu didn't want to, so he had no choice but to hold his hand tightly, and let him take a look at the exquisiteness of the lake.There are some koi in the lake, the colors are lively and bright. Linglong thought that Jia Hu might like it, so she took out the lotus seed pastry from the purse she carried with her, broke it into pieces and put it in Jia Hu's hands. He threw it into the water, and soon there were koi swimming over to grab food. The gold, red, and black and red ones were vying for each other, but they were pretty.Jia Hu didn't feel it yet, but Linglong herself fell in love with it, and took out two more cakes, feeding the koi to play with.

Jia Hu felt bored after staying for a while, so he sat down on the stone bench to rest.Seeing that he was just sitting and not running around, Linglong felt relieved and ignored Jia Hu.Qing'er is young, but he is more interested in the blooming winter jasmine, looking here and there, and there are many flowers carefully cultivated by the gardener.But she is also tricky, she only picks the best looking ones and picks them off together with the branches and leaves, and refuses to take the ones that are a little bit bad, jumping up and down, it's so boring.

Jia Hu thought that they were serving him with all their heart, and didn't care about such trivial matters. He just looked at the surrounding scenery and saw Zhou Rui's family walking over quickly with Wang's arm in the distance. Uncomfortable, Jia Hu walked a little further, and suddenly saw Mrs. Wang breaking away from Zhou Rui's family, holding on to the trunk, and vomited heart-piercingly into the grass.Zhou Rui's family didn't care about whether the smell was good or not, they patted Wang's back nervously, and exclaimed, "How come the reaction is so big, how good this is."

But at this moment, a human voice came faintly from the front, and two little girls came over together. Zhou Rui's family was anxious and angry, and said: "Grandma, please take a breath, I will send them away." He walked away with a bit of anger Go forward, drink two people to help her go to the West Garden: "I left a purse there earlier, in the shape of Tuanhua Fu, you go and get it back for me." The two girls are only eleven or twelve years old. , Seeing that they were dressed like rough envoy girls at most, they dared not delay this order from Zhou Rui's family, and hurriedly turned back to the West Garden.Zhou Rui's family turned around and looked at Wang worriedly and said: "Grandma's reaction has become more and more serious in the past two days, and you can't hide it. It's better to talk to the master and wife earlier, and ask someone to help you." Come and see, sir."

Wang just barely spit out all the acid water, wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and rubbed his chest in pain for a while.When Zhou Rui's family saw it, they quickly took out a small oil-paper bag from their chest, opened it, and found it was plum blossoms. They picked one and handed it to Mrs. Wang, but Mrs. Wang didn't pick it up. She frowned and covered her mouth. Zhou Rui's family said anxiously: "Grandma, it's not a good time. You are so uncomfortable, you can't bear it if you don't use sour plums to suppress it."

Although Wang Shi was still a little reluctant when she heard the words, she still took the sour plum and stuffed it into her mouth. After a while, her brows eased a lot, and she sighed: "If you say this time, it's really hard. I don’t have a comfortable time, even when I wake up in the morning, I just want to spit out my whole lungs.”

Zhou Rui's family persuaded her: "Although this is also a common situation, after all, grandma is precious, so you should find a doctor to take a good look at it, just in case..." After two bah bah, she slapped herself , "Look at my stinky mouth." Fu looked at Wang Shi with a smile and said, "It's not a problem for Grandma to be sick all the time, it's hurting her health!"

Mrs. Wang was not angry. She rubbed her stomach and said, "You think I don't want to tell anyone? It's just that I'm still early and I haven't stabilized. You think that brother Hu can do it so easily." Forget it? Although I couldn't find anything, but what is she, if she wants to treat her body in her own way, then I will regret it!" Lowering her eyes, she said softly, " Besides, it is time to find a good time to say something like this, so as to get good results. It will be the old man's birthday soon, and if he can tell this matter in time for that good day, the old man and wife will only be happier. It can also be more important.”

Zhou's mother still disagreed: "That being said, it was grandma who suffered the crime. I just saw you suffering, and my heart was in a panic."

Wang laughed: "This discomfort is nothing, as long as it gets better in the future, no matter how much you suffer today, it will be worth it." He stroked his chest, and it was already much better, "Okay, find someone later Cleverly tidy up here, and don't let anyone see it." Zhou Rui's family agreed neatly, and helped her walk away slowly.

Jia Hu watched them leave quietly, then turned around, Qing'er stood quietly aside, beside the lake, Linglong leaned half of her body out of the water, staring at the group of koi so happy...

After a series of words, Zhang's complexion changed again and again, and finally, facing Jia Hu who was puzzled and didn't know what happened, she already had an idea in her heart, and smiled and asked Mother Chen to take Jia Hu to change clothes first. : "Look at the dirty body."

Jia Hu had already done her childish form today, and she felt very tired, so she obediently followed Mama Chen away. Behind her, Mrs. Zhang called Mama Jin: "Bring Qing'er here, I have something to ask her."

Jia Hu sneered suddenly, it's a good idea to use his own way to treat his own body!
