Aristocratic family's career in the Red Chamber

Jia Min and Jia's mother, Jia Zheng, soon resumed the close relationship they had before. They were very close and cared for each other. Even Wang, who had lost her child, smiled when she saw Jia Min, as if nothing had happened. Same, what a good sister-in-law who cares about my sister-in-law.As Jia Min's wedding day approached, Mother Jia asked people to check again carefully the dowry box that Jia Min had set up early and had seen several times before. I picked out some better ones from the jewelry box, and replaced them with exquisite jewelry made according to the patterns that are popular in Beijing today, and added two Zhuangzi to Jia Min. It was carried to the Lin family in a mighty way, so that people can see the wealth and majesty of the Duke's mansion.

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhang curled her lips with Jia She: "My uncle also said that a mansion like ours doesn't have to respect the Lin family's face. Look at my wife. When the uncle of the Lin family was not a member of Zhongshushe, did you ever think about it?" Would you like to add Zhuangzi to my sister?" The two Zhuangzi, Mrs. Zhang, have been asked by someone, and they are both very promising, and they can earn thousands of taels a year, so they are two of the best places.The former wife didn't say to give it, but only after Lin Ruhai was promoted to a member of Zhongshushe?If there is no face for the Lin family, there is an element of favor with the Bolin family, who would believe it? !

Jia Amnesty also murmured about Jia Min and Jia's mother's sudden reconciliation. Hearing this, he didn't fly into a rage as before. If you love my sister, don't think too much about it!" It's just that he was uncertain after all, with a guilty conscience that he didn't even realize.

Mrs. Zhang didn't force him. Anyway, it's good that Jia She knew about these things. As for showing something... After so many years, Mrs. Zhang has given up all hope.Changing the subject, Mrs. Zhang said rather worriedly: "I heard that the uncle is going to formally explain the Four Books to Hu'er?"

Speaking of this, Jia She immediately burst into joy, and said with a smile: "You know it quickly. I mentioned it to my father first. The old man only agreed to me in the morning, so you will know. Fortunately, I still want to give you a surprise. "He was overjoyed, "Brother Hu is very smart, no matter what book he reads a few times, he can understand the main idea, and he can recite it fluently, and don't mention the basic learning at the beginning. Do you think he has benefited from learning Tang poetry and Song Ci? But in just two months, he learned everything I taught him, and even dug up a lot of poetry collections to read back, this cleverness is much better than that Zhu Geer!" As he said, he was quite proud of himself. appearance.That's right, he was suppressed by the second room all his life, even his son, who used to only praise the second room Jia Zhu, but now that Jia Hu is firmly suppressing Jia Zhu, Jia Amnesty didn't feel that he was venting his anger, but felt that his face was full of anger. bright?

Mrs. Zhang is naturally happy with Jia Hu's intelligence, but... "The Four Books and Five Classics are required to be learned in the serious imperial examinations. They are broad and profound..." Mrs. Zhang looked at Jia She, and was a little skeptical. With Jia She's level, can he teach Jia She well? ?This is not like the Three-Character Classic of Thousand Characters and Hundred Surnames that Meng learned. This is a serious article, which is related to Jia Hu's future. How can she rest assured that Jia She can teach it?

But Jia She thought that she felt sorry for Jia Hu who had to study so many books at such a young age, so she was a little displeased, and said with a straight face: "A loving mother is a failure, are you still a three-year-old brother Hu? In a blink of an eye he He is almost five years old. With such a rare talent, he should have been exposed to the Four Books and Five Classics early on, so as to lay a solid foundation, how could he escape from learning the books just because they are difficult?"

Mrs. Zhang couldn't say anything, how could she hesitate about this.But since Jia She said that, she didn't refute, but just bowed her head and admitted her mistake: "What the uncle said is true, I was wrong. In my memory, Brother Hu is the newborn child, little Small, soft, I hold him in my arms, and my heart really softens, but in the blink of an eye, he is already at the age of progress."

When Mrs. Zhang mentioned Jia Hu's childhood, Jia She's eyes were soft. When Jia Hu was just born, Mrs. Zhang's natal family was still strong, and Jia Daishan and Mrs. Jia's mother gave Zhang Mrs. face. Grandly set off fireworks and feasted the guests, because the old Lord Jingyuan came to the mansion in person, and even many Dukes of the Houye Kingdom also came in person, which can be said to be very impressive.Thinking of the glory at that time, Jia Shen softened the lines of his face, and said with a smile: "The child grows fast, and looks different every day. You blink, and he grows up. I still remember Brother Hu who just walked. As for his appearance, now his talent for reading has left me far away!"

Mrs. Zhang also laughed: "I'm not boasting, Hu'er can follow his grandfather, don't look at my father, he also walked like a general, but the pile of books in the study is no less than that in the literati's house."

Jia Amnesty has always respected the old Lord Jingyuan, Lord Taishan, not to mention his vicious eyes, and following the right master. Because of the old Marquis Jing Yuan, the Zhang family, how much face and glamor he has gained in the mansion is enough to make Jia She, who has always been neglected by his parents, feel grateful to the old Marquis.Mrs. Zhang also knew this, so she dared to say that Jia Hu was like the old master.

Sure enough, after Jia She heard this, not only was he not annoyed, but he said with a smile: "If Hu'er really followed his grandfather, that would be a blessing. Who doesn't know that Master Taishan was the emperor's brains, the most resourceful, even the late emperor Praise the Confucian general!"

Old Lord Jingyuan, that is really a character. When he was young, he was a well-known young talent in the capital. After he was on errands, he did everything neatly. He was highly valued by the late emperor. He values ​​loyalty, but he is still full of books. He wears a long gown and jade hairpin, and he doesn't speak. People only think that he came from a scholarly family. Who would have thought that he came from the Marquis Mansion, which started with martial arts?In the back, his eyes are even more vicious. No one knows how he got on the line with Jinshang in the first place. By the time everyone knows, Jinshang has already gained the upper hand and crushed Prince Yizhong to death. If it wasn't for old Jingyuan Hou's luck was really bad, he suddenly fell ill and died, with him sitting in the township, now enthroned and rewarded, the glory of the Jingyuan Hou Mansion will have to be continued for at least three more generations.If Jia Hu could really be as shrewd as him, Jia She could laugh out loud in his dreams.

"I don't like reading anymore, it's my father. Don't look at what he said about reading is important. If my father really likes reading, he wouldn't have taken the martial arts path back then. Most of my Jia family really don't like reading. Yes." After Jia She said a word, he suddenly thought of Jia Zheng, and he couldn't help feeling gloomy, "Second brother is an exception, he likes to read since he was a child." That's why Jia Daishan loves him in every possible way!

Mrs. Zhang didn't know about Jia She's heart disease, but a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind. After thinking about it, she said with a smile, "Second Lord, please don't blame me for speaking badly. The beginning of spring next year will be Chunwei. Second Lord is already in front of me. I didn’t come in second twice, but this time I didn’t think about it and studied carefully, but with a girl... my second brother has a heart in studying, but in terms of handling things, it’s really..." Shaking his head, the unsatisfactory meaning is beyond words.

Hearing this, Jia Amnesty felt that the words touched his heart, and he had a feeling of encountering a bosom friend. He clapped his hands and echoed, "Isn't that what I said? Fortunately, my father kept telling him to study hard. The result is very good. Review and study, and put it into practice." The girl's belly is getting bigger!" She deserves to be beaten up!Seeing how Jia's mother greeted the injured Jia Zheng, Jia Amnesty only hated Jia Daishan for not focusing on the key points at the beginning, and why he called Jia Zheng so quickly!

Mrs. Zhang, however, did not follow Jia Amnesty to share the same hatred with the enemy. Instead, she said worriedly: "Speaking of which, the second master has failed many times. It is because of himself, but it is also because we don't have a supporter in the civil service circle. If we were there There is a way around, help me to guess a question before the exam, find out what the examiner likes, and give me a good review of my homework, maybe I will pass the exam?" Jia Daishan spent a lot of effort on Jia Zheng back then, but the Rongguo Mansion As a family of the rich and powerful, it is not pleasing to each other with the literati, and even the information obtained by inquiring is limited, but it is better than nothing.

Mrs. Zhang saw that Jia She was very worried, and then said: "The second master has the master to worry about, I can't take care of it, but I am worried about Brother Hu, he is young, but he is talented in reading, and he will definitely leave in the future Got the way of the imperial examination. Brother Hu will have to go through the path of his second uncle in the future, and if Huer is in the literati circle in the future, he will have no one to help..."

It's about his son, Jia Amnesty is no more indifferent than when he heard about Jia Zheng earlier, and for a moment he forgot that it would be more than ten years before Jia Hu's final exam, so he frowned anxiously and said, "If you don't mention it, I'd forget about it." , This, this is so good!"

Mrs. Zhang explained her idea to Jia She: "Although I don't know much about the outside world, I also know that the friendship between teachers and students is also very important in this officialdom. If you want to be a promising colleague, you will also help me in the future." I thought, our brother Hu is so smart, can't we have a great Confucian as a teacher, and we can have multiple teachers to help us in the future?"

Jia She was overjoyed and exclaimed, "I forgot that there is such a way." Don't blame him. Back then, Jia Zheng never seriously asked Mr. Master to be his teacher, but just learned from his master. Jia She forgot. There is also a code that can be apprenticed to a teacher! "It's just that our family has no friendship with those great Confucians~~" After the joy, Jia She remembered the reality. The Rongguo Mansion didn't have any friendship with those famous scholars, let alone worshiped the great Confucians as teachers.

Mrs. Zhang pursed her lips and smiled: "The uncle only looked at our Rongguo Mansion, why did he forget about my natal family!"

Jia She was stunned for a while, then patted his forehead hard, shook his head and smiled, "Look at me, I forgot about this, Mr. Taishan, we met a lot of friends back then, and among those civil servants, we were also extremely friendly. There are people." Jia Hu is the grandson of the old Lord Jingyuan, with the face of the Zhang family, finding a good teacher may not be impossible! "This is going to trouble my mother-in-law."

Mrs. Zhang glared at him, and said angrily, "Look at what you said, isn't Hu'er my son?! My mother used to treat Hu'er as her own grandson, why bother?" When her mother was Jia Mu What about the eccentric?If you don't like it, even your blood relatives will ignore it?

Jia Amnesty knew she had said something wrong, so she hurriedly coaxed Zhang Shi to say a series of good things, and Zhang Shi turned her anger into joy and laughed...

After practicing calligraphy, Jia Hu went for a walk in the garden to rest, but saw Jia Zhu coming towards him from a distance, he smiled, and was about to go forward, when Jia Zhu seemed to have sensed it, and looked up.Looking at each other, Jia Hu raised a smile, but Jia Zhu's face was a bit complicated, and he greeted with a smile. He didn't pay much attention to Jia Hu's intention to come forward to speak, and made a gesture, but turned to the left while leading the person. ,gone!

Jia Hu paused, and the smile on his face faded. After looking at the direction Jia Zhu left for a while, he turned around and did his own thing.It's a pity to some extent, since we are both descendants of Jia's family, we should help each other, but it's just...

Simply, he also has a younger brother!
