Aristocratic family's career in the Red Chamber

Because of the gifts from the two grandsons, Jia Daishan's good mood is hardly concealed.He treasured the poorly written calligraphy and hung it in his study. Although he didn't praise the two children very much, his satisfaction was known to everyone in the house.

Jia She also benefited because of this, it was rare for Jia Daishan to praise him, although he only said that he "put some thought into Brother Hu", but for Jia She, who was rarely praised by Jia Daishan, this was enough for him to be happy Ruo was mad, and when he came back, he saw Mrs. Zhang admonishing Jia Hu, saying that he was too courageous and self-assessed, so he hurriedly fished Jia Hu out, and said, "The child is also a filial piety. I was afraid that you would disagree, so I gave the gift by myself." The effect is not very good now? Why do you hold on to it anymore?" He bowed his head and praised Jia Hu, "In the past, we underestimated this child, but he has his own ideas!" It made me dumbfounded.

On the contrary, Jia Hu was very satisfied with the result.He also kept the gift from everyone, just to let everyone know that although he is a child, he is not much worse than an adult. He also has ideas, filial piety, and intelligence, so that everyone dare not underestimate her—as far as the current situation is concerned, the effect Very nice isn't it?At least, Jia Amnesty valued him a little more.

Compared with Jia Hu's satisfaction, Jia Zhu's life is not so happy.Although Jia Zheng was happy that he was praised by Jia Daishan, as soon as he thought of Jia Hu's head on this matter, his mind became light.The Wang family hates iron but not steel.

"He won't let you tell me, so you really don't want to tell me?" In private, Wang pulled Jia Zhu and reprimanded him, "How did I teach you? You are still young, and you don't know many things. , you have to tell me first. You are good, you just mixed up with that Hu Geer without making a sound. You are so brave at such a young age. It may be that your grandfather is not angry today, but what if he is really unhappy What should he do if he thinks you are a waste of time? If your grandfather punishes you, can you afford it? If for this reason, he thinks that your father and I have not taught you well, so what should you do? What do you think? Have you ever?!"

Jia Zhu was so frightened by her sternness that she was about to cry, and she cried with tears in her eyes, "I, I didn't think about it that much at first... Eldest brother said..."

Wang said bitterly: "Big Brother, Big Brother! He is not your biological big brother, I gave birth to you, only you! Now you only listen to your big brother, and take my words as nothing!"

Jia Zhu didn't dare to argue anymore, sobbing and unable to speak.

Mrs. Wang was still relentless, grabbing him and sternly told him: "Listen well, I won't allow you to get close to Jia Hu any more, and you won't be allowed to do anything with him that I didn't agree to! No matter what you do, you must first follow Jia Hu. Let me report, do you understand? Do you understand?!"

Jia Zhu burst into tears, sobbing and nodding.

Wang said with a straight face: "You have to remember what you said today. If I find out that you are hanging out with Jia Hu again, it won't be like today!"

Jia Zhu didn't dare to say anything, but she buried everything in her mind that something was wrong, and nodded obediently.

Only then was Wang satisfied, hugged him into her arms, and said: "You, I just got confused when I heard your grandfather and father talk about brotherhood and friendship in the past. The so-called siblings come out of my stomach and are the same as your mother. The compatriots are the ones, who is Brother Hu, but he is the cousin in the next room, and he is far away. Mother is also doing it for your own good. You are still young, and you are not as calculating as him. Just like this time, you think it’s good to give gifts Okay, your grandfather is very happy, but you didn’t see it, he was the one who showed his face, not you. Look at these two days, is your grandfather very happy to see Brother Hu? Was it like this before? Silly boy, who is that? Using you to please your grandfather, you are a fool, thinking that people are only for your own good..."

Jia Zhu was buried in Wang's arms, her gentle tone made him relax a lot, but he was still confused about what she said, not knowing what it meant.

Why did mother mean that Jia Hu actually treated him badly?But obviously, the elder brother was very considerate of him. When they were preparing the words in private, Jia Hu was not angry when he couldn’t write well again and again. Do you have evil intentions?

In any case, after this time, Jia Hu really fell into Jia Daishan's eyes, not because he liked him for a moment, but because he really felt that Jia Hu was smart and talented, so he began to observe him carefully.Then Jia Daishan discovered that Jia Hu was really a very smart kid.Reading, those poems and articles, he can easily recite those poems and articles after reading them a few times, and he can also say three, four, five, six. Although it is jerky, the truth in it is not bad.Writing, because of his young age and weak strength, his handwriting is inevitably lacking in strokes and lack of momentum, but he can keep on writing every day without anyone reminding him, and he will automatically and spontaneously write twenty large characters—if there is a word that does not suit him. , he re-wrote the entire page without any sloppy.He even likes to read history books by himself after class. Although Jia Daishan doubts that he can see the enlightenment and lessons left by history for future generations, Jia Hu's self-motivation is enough to make him happy .

Originally thought that Jia Zhu was already a child with amazing talent, but unexpectedly, this Jia Hu who had been neglected by him was even better.Jia Daishan couldn't tell what was going on in his heart, but it was unavoidable, and he had a high opinion of Jia Hu on a daily basis.

Tomb-sweeping Day, the weather has gradually warmed up, but there is little rain in the north at this time, but there is no "rainy" scene in Du Mu's works. On the contrary, in the garden, wicker sprouts, and winter jasmine blooms without hesitation. It's a beautiful spring—it's a pity that on such a day, no one is in the mood to appreciate this spring.

Rongguo Mansion has been in a hurry since yesterday. When it was the day, early in the morning, Jia Daishan took Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng, and two grandsons to the ancestral hall to pay homage. Jia Lian was still young, so he didn't participate. Beside Zhang and others who entered the ancestral hall to worship.

The Jia family's family is in Jinling, and the family ancestral hall is naturally built there.But after a closer look, it turns out that the fortune of the Jia family is all thanks to the second Duke Ning Rong, and since the two old Dukes were rewarded, they have rarely been able to go out to Beijing to offer sacrifices. Therefore, they also built an ancestral hall in Beijing, which is not related to the Jia family in Jinling. The separation is only for the right to serve as the place of worship for the Jia family's children in the capital.

Because there are also Ningrong and Ninggongs enshrined inside, the ancestral hall is very magnificent and majestic, with three entrances and two courtyards. The one placed in the ancestral hall after Jia Jingzhong in Ningguo Mansion represented that the Jia family had finally produced a serious and famous son.

When Jia Daishan saw the flagpole stone, his face was very delicate.He and Jia Daihua are cousins, and they were also close when they were young.But after all, they are brothers who are not from the same family, and they are grown up. Although the relationship is not bad, they want to compete for superiority and inferiority.It's a pity that although Jia Daihua didn't live as long and healthy as he did, and his eldest son Jia Fu died young, the remaining Jia Jing was extremely outstanding. Some small problems like burning alchemy and refining mercury also left his two sons a few blocks away.

"If you have a son like this, brother, you can rest in peace~"

After sighing for a while, Jia Daishan glanced at Jia She and Jia Zheng in disappointment. Jia She didn't care about it long ago, he just pretended not to see it, but Jia Zheng's face turned red all of a sudden, and he lowered his head in shame.Every time Jia Daishan saw this flagpole stone in the early years, he told Jia Zhengyao to study hard when he returned home, and he also passed the examination for a Jinshi in Rongguo Mansion. It was only later that he failed repeatedly, so Jia Daishan slowly stopped talking about it.Why doesn't this look make Jia Zheng ashamed and indignant?

Looking at such a young son, Jia Daishan couldn't say anything more, he sighed again, called Jia Hu and Jia Zhu, and said solemnly: "You are young, so you should not be brought into the ancestral hall, but this time Brother Zhen Rong'er's eldest son, Rong'er, is already one year old and needs to be included in the genealogy. You have read the book and understood some things, so I made an exception and let you come to watch the ceremony together. When you see all the uncles and brothers later, there must be rules. If you understand or not, you should keep your mouth shut, but don’t embarrass our Rong Mansion? Got it?!”

The Zhang family and the Wang family had already given orders when these words came, so Jia Hu and Jia Zhu nodded obediently and said: "Grandpa, don't worry, we will definitely not let you down."

For these two smart children, Jia Daishan is quite relieved, and thinking about the current status of Yirong Mansion in the clan and his seat in town, even if the two elder brothers make some small troubles, it is nothing, Jia Daishan smiled Laughing, I stopped talking, and just led the child along the way.

Today's sacrifice, all members of the Jia family in Beijing who are eligible to come, most of them live in the Second Mansion of Rongning. Already?" "Meet the Duke." "How is the Duke?"

Jia Zhu watched it interestingly, her eyes widened, and remembering Jia Daishan's parents' instructions not to lose her composure, she rolled her eyes carefully, watching everyone's reactions greedily.However, Jia Hu glanced thoughtfully at the stern-faced and expressionless Jia Daishan. He was honest with these tribesmen, but he didn't know whether it was because he didn't feel the need to get close to these tribesmen, or because he was simply attached to them. People in the government dismissed it.

"Second Uncle is here." A group of people walked out of the hall of the ancestral hall. A middle-aged man in his thirties who led the way saw Jia Daishan, and hurriedly greeted Jia Daishan and said with a smile, "I was telling my uncles that you should be here too. Appeared." He was wearing a black robe, a white jade crown, and a short beard. He had a dignified demeanor, and he was the head of the Jia family, the current head of Ning Guogong, and the only Jia Jing in the Jia family who had won the Jinshi examination. .

After him, a handsome teenager in blue clothes stood up and greeted Jia Daishan and others: "I have seen my uncle and uncle."

Facing their father and son, Jia Daishan was very kind and said with a smile: "Brother Zhen, you don't need to be polite."

Jia Hu rolled his eyes, Lala Jia Zhu, and whispered a few words, stood up and saluted Jia Jing and Jia Zhen, saying: "Hu'er (Zhu'er) has met Uncle, Brother Zhen." Although Ning Rong The two mansions are divided, but they belong to the same clan after all, and the two mansions are very close. Jia Hu called Jia Jing "uncle", which is not out of line.

Jia Jing laughed immediately, looked at the two of them and said, "This is the eldest son of Enhou and Cunzhou, right? Uncle Dao wants to bring them to sacrifice. This prudence and intelligence can indeed participate in the affairs of the clan." His favorite in the past Nesting in the mansion to burn alchemy and refine mercury, except for going to court, he seldom attended banquets, most of which were attended by Jia Zhen, but it was rare to see Jia Hu and Jia Zhu. When I saw it today, I only felt two people in my memory. The little milk boy grew up in an instant, and he couldn't help sighing, "The last time I saw these two children was when brother Lian was full moon, right? Uncle's birthday, these two children didn't come out, so I almost didn't recognize them They have grown up a lot compared to half a year ago. I am taller, have a good appearance, behave and speak well, and behave well. If my uncle didn’t bring them here, I’m afraid I’d be just a stranger if they saw me on the street.”

Jia Daishan listened to his ears, and said with a smile: "You are still young, what can you tell? It's no different than Brother Zhen, who has already married and established a career. I only hope that they will be safe and healthy, and don't make my old man worry about any accidents." That's it."

Jia Jing said with a smile: "Brother Zhen is just taking advantage of the older ones. Just look at the cleverness of these two children. I'm afraid there will only be more promising ones in the future!"

Just at this time, a few more old people came over. They were old people born in the generation of Daizi, and they thought that they had a different relationship with Jia Daishan and Jia Jing, but they didn't have the same relationship with Jia Daishan and Jia Jing as those clansmen who were far away. Respectful and apprehensive, he walked over with a smile, flatteringly said: "Third Brother, Brother Jing, the auspicious time is coming, shouldn't we enter the venue?"

Jia Daishan glanced at them lightly, smiled at Jia Jing and said, "In that case, let's go in."

Leading the way, Jia Jing was shoulder-to-shoulder with him, followed by Jia She and Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen took Jia Hu and Jia Zhu, and behind him was little Jia Rong, who was hugged by the nanny. The group walked to the hall of the ancestral hall ...
