Aristocratic family's career in the Red Chamber

As the new son-in-law of the Jia family, Lin Ruhai had a very good impression of Jia Hu.

The white and delicate little face, although it still has the roundness of a child, but standing there, it is polite and restrained, and it is not timid and shrinking in front of the crowd, which makes the small body that was still young show a trace of calmness the demeanor.The flowing light in the bright black eyes turned, and it was obvious at the first sight that this must be a smart child.What happened to Lin Ruhai when he was welcoming the bride that day is particularly vivid in his memory - Jia She and Jia Zheng didn't make things difficult for him, but at the end of the day, he fell into the hands of a child!Because of this, his group of bad friends laughed at him a lot, so they had to praise Jia Hu for being clever, so he stumped Tan Hualang!

Lin Ruhai was a genius praised by everyone when he was young. Later, when he became a teenager, he was a little unsatisfactory. With his own ability, he overcame them one by one. Now, everything is going smoothly, and a bright future is in sight.Such a talented man naturally fell in love with the clever Jia Hu.At the door-to-door banquet, Jia Hu followed Jia She, smiling slightly. He was dressed in a sapphire blue cloud-patterned shirt, making him look like a fairy boy. Lin Ruhai heard that he had finished his basic studies and was about to start reading the Four Books and Five Classics , but I was shocked, at such a young age... I thought Jia She was talking nonsense and trying to save face for himself. After all, compared to the gentle and gentle Jia Zheng, the lively and joking Jia She has a lot of reputation. Look. Not very reliable.But when Lin Ruhai carefully examined Jia Hu, he realized that Jia Amnesty was not talking nonsense, he was clearly being modest.What did you finish your studies?This little child, even talking about the Analects of Confucius in Shiji, is also well-founded. Although he can't go deep into it, how old is Jia Hu?It is extremely rare to have this kind of knowledge now.Lin Ruhai asked himself, when he was four years old, he couldn't do this.

At a gathering of friends, and talking about the little child who made things difficult for him before the wedding day, Lin Ruhai couldn't help but praise him: "This son is extraordinary~" The Jia family has such a beautiful son, and their wealth can last at least three generations!

Who is Lin Ruhai?Young and handsome, smart and capable, relying on himself step by step to climb to the position of Jane in the heart of Zhongshushe today, he is smooth and exquisite, and he is the best friend with others. I also have to praise the Lin family for having a son like this, but he was blessed in his previous life.There are even those who are familiar with him, who doesn't know that he looks easy-going on the surface, but he cherishes words like gold the most, and rarely judges others.Such a person, at this time, praises a child so much, just because of his in-laws, isn't there a better-known Jia Zhu in the second wife of Jia's family?

As the news spread, everyone became more curious about the children who had left a deep impression on the wedding day.Could it be that bad bamboos really produce good bamboo shoots, and the Rongguo Mansion produced a notorious eldest son, Jia She, who really gave birth to a good son? !

Xu Wei's third son, Xu Tao, Xu Zixian and Lin Ruhai are Jinshi of the same discipline, but they are slightly behind Lin Ruhai, and they are the second-class passers-by.Even so, he still admires Lin Ruhai's talent, learning and personality, and thinks that if Lin Ruhai is not young and handsome, he should be the No. Intentionally asking his old man to accept Jia Hu as his apprentice, he hurriedly went home and praised Jia Hu in front of the old man: "I also went to the wedding that day. It looks like a good seed at first glance. Brother Ruhai has never been the one who talks nonsense, and if my father accepts this apprentice, maybe he will be the number one in the exam for you in the future."

Xu Wei himself became an official with the number one scholar, and after he entered the official position, he rose steadily. Everyone knows that he is full of talents, but his three sons, although all of them are Jinshi in the imperial examination, the best grades are only the third son Xu Tao. None of the top three entered.This has almost become a heart problem for Mr. Xu, and Xu Wei couldn't help but twitch his brows when he heard Xu Tao's swearing.

The eldest son of Xu, Xu Hao, Xu Zijing, the foreign governor of Changsha, is not in the mansion at this time, and the second son, Xu Jiang, Xu Ziyou, takes on the responsibility of the elder brother. He rolled his eyes at the impassioned younger brother, and said angrily, "You are already a good man now. No matter how you speak, you are still so ignorant. Jia Hu is only four or five years old, and no matter how smart he is now, there are still fewer things like hurting Zhong Yong? You can guarantee that he will be the number one in the exam and come back. ? He is from the Jia family, the eldest grandson of the honorable family! My father accepted him, and he fell into the eyes of others, what should I think?"

Xu Tao was not convinced: "What's the matter, he is the son of Zhang's elder sister. The second brother has a really bad memory. When we were young, Zhang's elder sister was very kind to us, and the second elder brother got a lot of pocket money from him. What will happen now?" My son turns his face and doesn't recognize anyone, and thinks of Sister Zhang's son!" The old Jingyuan Hou Ye and Xu Wei were very different in age, because he admired Xu Wei's character, he formed a long-term friendship with him, and the two families had a relationship. But she has received many favors from the Zhang family. The Zhang family is not yet married, and she often goes to and from the Xu family with her mother. She treats Xu Jiang and Xu Tao's two younger brothers who are five or six years older than her as if they are real brothers. What does Fourth Master Zhang do? , they have exactly the same share, and they love each other very much. It wasn't until she got married that it was inconvenient to come to Xu's house again, and then they gradually became strangers.Although Xu Tao was young at the time, he always firmly remembered that Zhang's elder sister who was kind to him back then had a good impression of Jia Hu, and urged Mr. Xu to accept this apprentice. Now there is Lin Ruhai's factor, so he watched Xu Jiang, who disagreed life and death, was very dissatisfied.

Xu Jiang was so angry at his younger brother who was turning his elbow outward, he was no older than Xu Tao, but now he was out of breath, jumped up and scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about, when will I Say I despise Sister Zhang's son. You think you value love and righteousness, and I am that heartless? You don't even look at the Jia family, who are the people who come and go with the Jia family? He has such a great reputation! All he associates with are honorable families. Jia Daishan is in the court, and he also stands on the side of honorables with clear barriers. He is not the same as us! How did the eldest brother teach us in the early years? Our Xu family’s foundation is too weak It is the time when we need to be cautious. My father keeps a low profile in order not to poke the emperor's eyes. Don't forget that the Jia family was on the side of Prince Yizhong back then. Speaking of which, if the emperor misunderstood you, would you still have to pay for our entire Xu family?"

Which son of a master didn't grow up with an education dedicated to the family?Speaking of the Xu family, Xu Tao's arrogance fell, but You was not convinced, and said with a straight neck: "Then we don't care about Sister Zhang? How well did Zhang Shibo treat us back then? How much did he help our family? It was my father. It also reminds us to remember the kindness of the Zhang family?! In the whole capital, who doesn’t know that Jia Daishan, the Duke of Rongguo, is the most eccentric? My mother sighed that Sister Zhang was not in Rongguo Mansion last time when she returned to the mansion. Fortunately, the old lady is worried, and now people are begging to come to the door, and we still refuse him, so what is it!" Glancing at Xu Wei who was sitting silently at the head, Xu Tao murmured softly, "I often say that To repay the kindness, people asked for such a thing, and we still push and procrastinate, what is the kindness to repay~~"

Although he spoke in a low voice, there was silence in the room, who really couldn't hear it?

Xu Jiang's face darkened, a little embarrassed.Just as Xu Tao said, the Zhang family did have kindness to the Xu family. Before the Zhang family got married, they were kind to their brothers. For so many years, the Zhang family has never asked for anything. , I didn't even beg for the Xu family's help, but now I just beg for such a thing, and I still shirk it in every possible way. It's really... But this is not a trivial matter, it concerns the entire Xu family!

Seeing that Xu Jiang was speechless, Xu Tao came back confidently, straightened his waist and said: "Second brother always said that we were afraid that we would get involved with the Jia family and be misunderstood as having a relationship with Prince Yizhong, so he didn't even think about it. Prince Yizhong was killed by the emperor." How are we all cleaned up? How else can we be threatened? Our family has meritorious deeds from the dragon, who doesn’t know where we stand?! It’s the Jia family, and there’s no way they’re going to rebel. Besides, what about Jia Hu? People, that's sister Zhang's son, the nephew of the Jingyuan Houfu. Who does the emperor suspect, and can he suspect that the grandson of the old Houye Zhang can be related to the rebellion?"

Xu Wei twirled his beard and nodded.Xu Jiang thought about it carefully, but what he said was right!It's just... "We said earlier that we wanted to see the child first, but people still put off and said that we should wait until after the wedding. Is this an attitude of sincerely asking for a teacher?" His father was a famous scholar back then, and they all said that Seeing the person first, the Jia family didn't rush to send the person, and even postponed the date. Although the Zhang family later sent someone to negotiate, but this attitude...

Xu Tao said bluntly: "Second brother, have you forgotten the Duke of the Jia family? The one who favors the youngest son and daughter the most, don't you know?! In the end, the Jia family is still in charge of Jia Daishan, and Jia Amnesty just wants to Ask your son to come, but he doesn't speak, can Jia Amnesty bring Jia Hu here by himself?"

Xu Jiang fell silent immediately when he thought of the news that his mother had returned from the Zhang Family.After all, he is not really such a cold-blooded person.He is two years older than Xu Tao. He was sensible when the Zhang family was in contact with the mansion, and he was thinking about her well. If he could help a group of Zhang family without harming the Xu family, he would not object. of. "But Jia Hu, is it really as good as it is said?" A child under five years old?

"Okay!" Xu Wei frowned and said, directly interrupting the endless debate between the two sons, and directly making a decision, "Third son, you can go to the Zhang family to report a letter later, and ask them to send a message to the Jia family. , it's me, Xiu Mu, when the time comes, bring Jia Hu over and let me have a look!"

"Yes, Father!" Xu Tao was overjoyed, nodded heavily, cheered, turned his head and gave Xu Jiang a hard look, lifted his chin slightly, and snorted coldly.

Xu Jiang secretly rolled his eyes, too lazy to pay attention to this jumping brother...
