Aristocratic family's career in the Red Chamber

Jia Zhu had a cold and fever, and was not seriously ill. At least, compared to Jia Hu who was lying in bed for a month with bleeding all over her face, Jia Zhu just drank a medicine and slept for a while, and immediately regained her spirits. It's just a small problem that doesn't need to be taken to heart.

It's just because he is Jia Zhu, the darling of Mrs. Jia's wife Wang, Jia Zheng's eldest son, this little cold has caused extremely serious consequences.At the beginning, no one noticed it. It was not until later that everyone realized that the conflict had already been lifted at this moment because of such a trivial matter~ and at this time, everything was still calm.

After Jia Zhu got better from the cold, he continued to study and study with Jia Daishan as usual. He worked harder and harder, but everyone paid more attention to him, fearing that he would hurt his body again. His mother, Bai Shuang, urged him to rest quickly, and even Jia Daishan couldn't help but relax his demands on Jia Zhu. Often, when he saw Jia Zhu's tired face, he was dissatisfied with his homework progress that was no better than Jia Hu's. He swallowed the reprimand he was about to spit out, for fear that he would make Jia Zhu sick again, but he was not happy in the end, and when he occasionally talked to Jia Mu, he was a little dissatisfied with Jia Zhu's frailty.

"Brother Hu is also studying hard day and night, working hard every day, practicing calligraphy and reading books, only no less than Brother Zhu, and he has suffered such a serious injury in front of him, but you see, there is nothing wrong with him, he is healthy and healthy Kang is more and more cute." Jia Daishan's eyebrows were beaming when he talked about Jia Hu, and his face was gloomy when he talked about Jia Zhu, "Brother Zhu, I haven't been so strict yet, so I boiled myself until my face turned pale and I lost all energy and energy." I don’t know how to cherish myself, but I’m trying to be brave...it’s hard for me to teach him.” Finally, he muttered, “Obviously he’s a cousin, so it’s okay to look at him when he was young, but within a year, he became That's it."

Mother Jia just listened silently, no matter what Jia Daishan said, she just smiled lightly and said nothing.

Jia Amnesty became more energetic, and every time he led his son to give Jia Daishan the school exams, he held his head high, and when he entered Jia Daishan's study, he was no more frightened than before, on the contrary, he was in high spirits. I stopped being jealous, and said very generously: "Second brother is better at reading than me, and he is able to work hard. He is no better than me, even if he reads it many times, he just can't understand it. I am ashamed of myself." Looking back at the crowd, he praised Jia Zheng to the sky, "The master said that the second brother has grown up, this year's autumn, the second brother will definitely be able to win the gold list, and set a good example for Brother Hu and Zhu Geer."

When Jia Zheng heard it in private, his heart felt as if a wall had been blocked, causing him to toss and turn in his sleep.He has failed twice in the three-year imperial examination, and now Jia She is so swearing that if he fails... Jia Zheng thought of this possibility, and he shivered. Zhu paid more attention.

For a while, the reading atmosphere flourished in the Rongguo Mansion—Jia Daishan, who originally wanted to say a few words for Jia Zheng, was surprised.It's about the youngest son, Mother Jia is not confused, people in the house just pass it on, but outside, it is strictly forbidden for the servants to gossip, once they find out, they will rush to Zhuangzi without any sympathy.Seeing her attitude, the servants dared not be careless, and they thought about it three times in their minds when they spoke, and praised Jia Zheng to the sky one by one. Well, this year's imperial examination must be no problem - calling Jia Zheng is dumbfounding, but the pressure in his heart has increased.

Mother Jia took everything in her eyes and said nothing, which made Zhang Gaogao aroused abnormally, and secretly discussed with Jin's mother, Su's mother: "I'm afraid something is going to happen again."

Guai Dao said that the person who knows a person best is his enemy, but Zhang's conjecture is not wrong at all.Of course, in the eyes of Jia She, it is not a moth, but the mother's heart.

One day, after Jia Amnesty taught Jia Hu the Analects of Confucius, he took Jia Hu to pay his respects to Jia Mu. Seeing them, Jia Mu was very happy and warmly greeted them to sit down: "It's a coincidence that they just met. I have something good here." Smiling, he said to the people beside him, "Go to the kitchen, take out the plate of shortbread I ate just now, and ask them to taste it too."

Jia She looked surprised, and said with a smile: "What kind of shortbread makes my mother so happy? I have to try it."

Jia Hu acted like a child greedy, nodded heavily: "I want to eat!"

With such support, Jia's mother smiled more and more from ear to ear: "It's because you haven't eaten it." Just as they were talking, a servant brought in a few small plates. Jia She and Jia Hu looked up and saw that they were carefully stacked. The round pieces of golden shortbread sprinkled with sesame seeds are no different from the ones we eat on weekdays. We can't help but look at Jia Mu strangely. Jia Mu smiled and said, "See what you can see. Then you will know."

Jia She and Jia Hu were not disappointed, so they pinched a piece and stuffed it into his mouth. Before he took it in, he realized something was wrong. The filling, as soon as he bit it open, was full of the salty aroma of dried vegetables and ham, and it was roasted and crispy. Jia Daishan and Jia Hu fell in love with the cake crust and fragrant sesame immediately: "If you eat too much dessert, you will get tired of it. You can prepare more of this kind of dessert. When you are hungry while studying, you can still stuff a few more pieces."

Mother Jia put on a straight face: "What a serious and serious thing reading is. It's good for you, and you are still thinking about eating while studying!" After a while, she laughed, "I don't blame you, this shortbread is indeed the same as the ones that are usually cooked in the kitchen. The dim sum is different. But the authentic Jinhua shortbread in the south, the fillings are all carefully selected and made, can there be any bad taste?" Looking at Jia Hu lovingly, "Brother Zhu told me However, sweets are delicious, but easy to get bored. The master is also worried that the child will hurt his teeth if he eats too much sweets. It just so happens that the chef has hired a new cook, and his family is from Jinhua in the south. Authentic. I was thinking that I could prepare more for your children. If you are hungry at night, you can eat a few more pieces.” Then, let Jia She and Jia Hu taste a few more pieces, “It’s not just one kind of stuffing, it’s better. What about the taste. They are all salty, fragrant and crispy, if it doesn’t hurt my stomach if I eat too much, I will eat a few more yuan at my age.”

Jia She and Jia Hu agreed in a hurry, and picked up a few pieces of different colors from the plate and put them into his mouth, some with spicy flavor, some with stewed meat filling, some with ginger paste...the taste is really good .It's just that both father and son have doubts in their hearts: it's just a small meal, but is it worth Jia's mother's happiness?

Just when she was wondering, she heard Jia Mu laughing again: "If you say that this shortbread is just a gadget, it's nothing. It's just that the person who makes the shortbread suits my old lady's wishes. He has a good appearance and skillful hands. At a young age, I have learned my parents' good skills, and I am sensible and obedient. If I am not older, I would want to keep it by my side and accompany me well." There was a bit of regret in the words.

Jia She and Jia Hu suddenly realized that it turned out that they were not interested in shortbread, but in people, no wonder.Jia She then said: "After entering the mansion and working as a servant in the mansion, she is also a member of the mansion. Mother likes it, no matter how old she is, just stay by her side to serve her. That is also her blessing."

Jia's mother crossed his eyes at him: "You haven't seen that kind of appearance, she is so considerate when she speaks, she didn't sell herself, she just helped her parents in the kitchen. If it wasn't for helping to bring some snacks here today I didn't know there was such a lovely person." Sighed, "When a person is old, he should accumulate blessings. The child's age is just when he sees others. What's the matter with serving me for nothing? That's not me. Delayed her life? No way~~"

Jia's mother is very kind and amiable today, Jia Amnesty couldn't help showing more concern for her, and said: "She is a girl from an ordinary family, what kind of good marriage can she find? It's better for the wife to take her by her side for a few days and let her learn how to be an eyebrow." High-sighted and low-spirited, isn't there only better ones? In the future, if mother chooses a good family for her, it will be better than her cook and cook's parents."

Mother Jia thought about it and smiled: "You reminded me, isn't that the reason? But I'm confused." Then she called someone over, "Go ask Shilei, but are you willing to come to my side to serve? I I won't treat her badly."

After a while the girl came back, and said that Chu Lei agreed after thinking for a while, and came to thank her personally: "Sister Shi Lei said that being appreciated by his wife is a blessing she has cultivated in her life, I just want to thank my wife personally , kowtow to my wife is also her wish."

Jia Mu was elated when she heard this, and said to Jia Amnesty, "Look, isn't she a polite and sensible person?" She agreed, "Since she has the heart, let her come in."

Jia She and Jia Hu turned their heads to look at the door, somewhat curious, what kind of character could make Jia's mother like it so much at first sight?

A pair of slender white hands gently lifted the door curtain, and then the goose yellow skirt flashed, and a person in a red winter jasmine pattern stepped into the door with small steps. She was very polite, with her head half bowed, only showing her Her white chin and earlobe were full, and she prostrated herself in front of Jiamu, and said in a clear voice like a yellow warbler: "Thank you, Madam, Shilei. I will serve my wife wholeheartedly in the future, and I will never let her down."

"Okay, okay~" Mother Jia hurriedly got her up, "As long as you put your heart into it, I will definitely not treat you badly."

Shi Lei thanked her again, then slowly stood up.She was not far behind and below Jia She, but when she got up, Jia She could see her clearly.

Jia She was dumbfounded at the time, her face was like a delicate flower, a girl like water in the south...

Jia Hu suddenly realized that today's mother Jia's purpose is not just for people, but this person is not a girl, it is Jia She who is!She curled her lips, pinched a piece of shortbread out of boredom and took a bite: Isn't she just a girl, even if she gave it to Jia Amnesty, wouldn't she be beaten and sold?Could it be that Jia Amnesty could spoil her concubine and destroy his wife?Really superfluous!
