Aristocratic family's career in the Red Chamber

When he was thirty, Jia Daishan asked someone to pass a post to Xu's family, saying that he would go to Xu's mansion to pay a visit on time.The Xu family only thought that it was Jia She and the Zhang family who would bring Jia Hu here, secretly thinking that they were familiar with each other, and there was no need to be polite, so they didn't make any arrangements.But I didn't want to, and then the Zhang family got the news from the Zhang family, saying that Jia Daishan would come to the door in person.Zhang Houye sent the chief steward of the mansion to apologize for the incessant apology, Xu Jiang smiled to his face and said it was all right, and turned his back on him, a hand crutch hit Xu Tao's lower abdomen viciously~ This kid caused all the trouble!

The day of the second day of junior high school finally arrived. Mrs. Jia Shezhang sent Jia Daishan out. Seeing Jia Zheng standing there with Jia Zhu, what was there that he didn't understand? !Mrs. Zhang sneered lowly, looked at Jia Amnesty coldly, and said goodbye to Jia Daishan with a smile as usual.Jia Amnesty's emotions became more straightforward, and he glanced at Mrs. Zhang from time to time, not even giving Jia Zheng an extra look.

The husband and wife were worried about Jia Hu, even though he had explained a lot earlier, Mrs. Zhang told him a lot about Xu Wei last night, and now that she was about to go out, she caught him and babbled and talked a lot, It was Jia Daishan who became impatient, and the couple let go of their hands helplessly, but the look on their faces made them feel uneasy no matter how they looked.

Jia Daishan, as the Duke of the country, had his own four-horse horse carriage. Originally, the family didn't need to pay attention to that much, but Jia Zheng repeatedly said that this was against the rules and was an arrogance, so he refused to sit in it anyway. .The elders are like this, so Jia Hu and Jia Zhu can't do it anymore.The mansion then prepared an extra two-horse carriage for the use of the three masters, one, one, two, and young.

The carriage is very spacious, probably because it is afraid that the bumps will shake something next to the child. There is a thick blanket under it, and the brocade satin is used as the surface. It is soft and comfortable when you step on it.The windows and doors of the carriages on both sides are hung with green gauze curtains made by Ruan Yanluo, which are thin and transparent, beautiful and not exposed to the sun. The small incense burner in the corner emits an elegant fragrance, and the white smoke can be seen curling up in the air. cute.

It could be seen that Jia Zhu was very excited about this trip. Although Jia Zheng was hindered from moving around, the swaying around, the flushed cheeks, and the undisguised joy on his face completely exposed him. Mood.Jia Hu was very skeptical, probably because Jia Zheng had never told him that today's trip, he actually got the favor of Dafang.

With Jia Zheng around, the two children are not easy to talk nonsense. Jia Hu is in the middle of his arms, leaning against the carriage, squinting his eyes slightly thinking about things, while Jia Zhu is sitting on pins and needles, feeling very uncomfortable.Jia Zheng didn't pay attention at first, and when he was halfway through, he suddenly realized that the carriage was eerily quiet. The sound of rolling wheels and the noise of pedestrians and pedestrians outside made the atmosphere in the carriage even more dignified.

Jia Zheng hesitated for a while, then smiled rightly and said to Jia Hu: "I'm going to Mr. Xu's house today, what do you want to tell Hu'er? This trip is an opportunity that the mansion took a lot of effort to get. Don't make any mistakes! You must take the advice of your elder brother and sister-in-law to heart, and don't let your parents down."

When he spoke suddenly, Jia Huyuan was a little surprised, but when he understood what he said, he almost didn't laugh.How much effort was spent in the mansion?You are really treating me as a young and ignorant child.He only smiled and said perfunctorily, "My nephew will definitely keep the teachings of my second uncle in mind. Before my mother came, I explained that Mr. Xu is a famous Confucianist in the world, famous all over the world, and he is the most rare mentor. My nephew understands that such a person It must not be possible for ordinary people to invite here. I am afraid that the grandfather and second uncle have spent a lot of effort in it. My nephew would like to thank the second uncle, and I must be careful when I go, and I will never let the second uncle down!"

He must have put on his high hat, no matter how thick-skinned Jia Zheng was, he couldn't help but change his color.He, Jia Daishan, and even Jiamu Wang's family all know who made the most of this opportunity and who fought for it!But Jia Hu said that he contributed a lot in it~ Jia Zheng thought Jia Hu knew something for a moment, couldn't help being startled, looked up and down Jia Hu, and found nothing wrong, Jia Zheng secretly laughed at himself for being too suspicious. However, what a child who is about to turn five years old can understand is probably just a casual remark, just by chance.Feeling relieved for a while, he was unhappy after all, forced a smile, and said, "It's good that you can understand this truth." Then he kept his mouth shut, obviously he was not in a good mood.

Jia Hu sneered secretly, but she didn't ask for it.Obviously taking advantage of the big house, but still thinking that he is just a child, pretending to have worked so hard in front of him, and admonishing him righteously.I don't even look at whether my own virtue is enough for this qualification!

Jia Zhu didn't understand the trickiness of this back and forth. She only saw her father repeatedly telling Jia Hu to be careful, and remembering that before leaving the house, Jia's mother, Wang, had also repeatedly warned her that no mistakes should be made, so she thought of the previous Wang's words in her heart. Shi Jiamu taught me to review it again, telling myself again and again, I must be careful, and I must definitely leave a good impression on Mr. Xu!

When a group of chariots and horses came to Xu's house, the door of Xu's house was already wide open.Xu Jiang Xu Tao stood at the door, saw the carriage stopped, so he came up to greet Jia Daishan: "The Lord of the Kingdom came to the humble house, it will make us flourish."

Jia Daishan knew about Xu Jiang and Xu Tao. The rare young handsome man in Beijing might be inferior to Lin Ruhai in terms of writing, but the background relationship of this family is more than three times stronger than Lin Ruhai?The weight of the word Xu Wei in the court is not small.He raised his head and smiled heartily: "But I, the old man, are bothering you. I'm taking the liberty to say it. I heard that it's Mr. Xu's mansion. I'm really curious about this mansion of Confucianism. Don't be offended by the fact that the messenger who stole the boss came here, Mr. Xiao Xu." He was honest and straightforward.

"Where is that, Grandpa Guo is too polite!" Xu Jiang smiled politely, "What kind of character is Grandpa Guo? I knew it like thunder when I was young. I only regret that I was not born at the right time, so I couldn't witness Grandpa Guo's conquest in all directions with my own eyes. , defeating the enemy army is really a pity in life!"

When he was young, he followed Rong Guogong and Ning Guogong to fight on the battlefield, and made countless military exploits. Jia Daishan was the happiest thing in his life. Just from what he said at home in the past, people who worked so hard to put on a majestic posture in front of the juniors couldn't help it at that time A few more nagging words are enough to show.Jia Hu thought to himself, maybe it's because of the happy enmity in the army camp, and he is a fierce general, boasted by everyone, he is extremely glorious, much more relaxed and happy than the deep-water jars in Beijing, which makes Jia Daishan so obsessed.

This little Master Xu has inquired about Jia Daishan's preferences clearly. Didn't these words scratch Jia Daishan's itch?

Sure enough, Jia Daishan looked at Xu Jiang with a much more cordial look, and laughed and said, "I'm getting old, I can't remember what happened back then." He asked again, "Master Xu also likes martial arts?"

Xu Jiang smiled subtly and nodded: "I don't like it. I was overconfident when I was young, and I even joked that one day I would become a general and serve the country. After all, my body is not up to the mark, even if I want to, it is difficult for my wish to come true. It is really a pity in life. "

Jia Daishan said conveniently: "Serving the country, what kind of civil and military is divided? Seeing the military officers dripping with joy, it is also troublesome inside. Now that the world is peaceful, it is not the literati who need to be used. Mr. Xu has a long history of education and extraordinary talent, but the country's Pillar."

Xu Jiang hurriedly waved his hands and said: "The Duke of the State is too praised, but I can't deserve this praise. On the contrary, your son-in-law Lin Sheren is really the pillar of the country, full of talents and learning, I am far behind him!"

Choosing Lin Ruhai to be his son-in-law is also something that Jia Daishan is proud of. Xu Jiang praised him so much, Jia Daishan became more and more happy when he saw him, and looking at Xu Tao behind him, although he didn't speak much, he was also generous and decent. He just wished that these two were his sons, so he wouldn't have to worry about the future of the mansion.

Xu Jiang turned his head and greeted Jia Zheng with a smile: "It's been a long time since I saw Er Ye Jia, and I was still asking when we got together the day before yesterday, what is Er Ye busy these days, why didn't he come out."

Jia Zheng smiled: "It's nothing, just reading some books at home."

Xu Jiang then boasted: "Second Master is indeed a book lover!"

Xu Tao, however, was impatient with their hypocritical comings and goings, his eyes wandered around Jia Hu and Jia Zhu's two children, and his focus was on Jia Hu.Take a closer look at his eyebrows, his eyes, and his gentle but generous demeanor standing there, the more you look at it, the more you feel like Mrs. Zhang, that delicate and lovely appearance, no matter how you look at it, you like it.Taking advantage of people not paying attention, he hurriedly pulled Xu Jiang who was still polite.

Xu Jiang had also noticed the two children a long time ago, although he had never met Jia Hu, but seeing Jia Zhu's undisguised admiration for Jia Zheng, he naturally knew who was Zhang's child.Xu Jiang nodded slightly as he looked back and forth on Jia Hu, who had a secretive line of sight. This calmness was more than twice as strong as that of ordinary children. Lin Ruhai was right about this. "This is Brother Hu, right?" Xu Jiang asked with a smile, not surprised to see Jia Daishan nod his head, and immediately bent slightly to look at Jia Hu and said, "Speaking of that day, I was taken care of by sister Zhang a lot. In a blink of an eye, Brother Hu has also grown up to this size."

Xu Tao followed suit: "Isn't it? He's still like Sister Zhang. When I saw him, it was as if I saw the old Sister Zhang."

Jia Hu held the gift of nephew and nephew to Xu Jiang and Xu Tao: "Hu'er has seen two uncles."

Xu Tao took his hand and said with a smile, "You're calling me Uncle Shi, so you don't need to be so polite. Get up quickly." He took off a piece of sapphire around his waist and put it on Jia Hu, "Come on, this It's a meeting gift from Uncle San." As he spoke, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Jia Zhu who was standing silently, paused, took out a small white magnolia ornament from his sleeve, and handed it to Jia Zhu, " It's not a good thing, you can keep it and play."

Jia Daishan and Jia Zheng looked at the white magnolia. The top-grade suet white jade had a clear and lustrous luster. The magnolia was half contained and half exposed.Jia Dai's heart sank: "Such a precious thing, as a child, he might accidentally break it. Third Young Master Xu should take it back." Jia Hu gave it to Jia Hu as a close-fitting item, and it was given to Jia Zhu. What he got was such a precious plaything. It was obvious that Xu Tao hadn't prepared a gift for Jia Zhu at all at first, and only took it out later when he thought about it.This magnolia ornament is probably Xu Tao's favorite thing - with such a polite manner, it is obvious that the Xu family is closer to Jia Hu and Jia Zhu.

Xu Tao smiled indifferently and said, "It's just a decoration, so it can't be called precious."

Xu Jiang had nothing to do with this brother who escaped, there was no way to greet someone at the gate, but a family is a family, Xu Jiang would never lose face to his brother in front of outsiders, so he smiled and said: "That's not to say, I think Brother Zhu's appearance is just like this magnolia? The third brother's gift is just right." He said again, "It's my mistake, the meeting gift is still inside, right now But I can’t take it out. I would like to invite the Duke and the Second Master to sit inside first.”

Everyone laughed kindly, Jia Hu and Jia Zhu all thanked Xu Tao, Xu Jiang led Jia Daishan, Jia Zheng and others all the way to the mansion.Inside, Xu Wei had already been waiting in the main hall.

In fact, Xu Wei was not very willing to have anything to do with the Jia family.

He has followed Jinshang, who was not valued by the late emperor, all the way to today. No one knows better than him. Although Jinshang is a forbearing and talented man, he also values ​​old love and misses the subordinates who stand by him very much. But at the same time, as a prince who has not been favored for a long time, he can have today because of his prudence, forbearance and perseverance. This is also doomed that he will not put all his chips on others. Giving all the trust—even the veterans like him who have followed him all the way to the present can only be said to be a little more trustworthy than others today, but it does not mean that he is really at ease with them.

The emperor is suspicious, and there are hills and valleys in his chest, this suspicion will only deepen.

But in the officialdom, who dares to say that he can never make mistakes?The higher you climb, the more you are hated.Xu Wei knew very well that the Xu family's background was not deep, and he relied entirely on himself to support it. If he wanted the Xu family to pass on for a hundred years, then he must not make any mistakes!So Xu Wei pushed back the real lack that the emperor wanted to reward him, but he didn't reject the emperor's summoning plan-the ministers had too much power, even if he didn't want to form a party, naturally there were people following behind him, but the literati didn't With so many worries, even if he is famous again, he is only a scholar.To accept the emperor's summons at any time, to show the emperor's favor to him, to let people know that even if he is just an idle scholar, it is really easy to say something in front of the emperor, so that no one dares to really ignore him. !

Sure enough, after that, Xu Wei's life was very good.His reputation among scholars is getting louder and louder. Everyone calls him a great Confucian, but the emperor never suspects him because of this. Who told him that he is known all over the world as a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune?His three sons also benefited from this, and they were well-known among their classmates, and they were in officialdom, so everyone was willing to give them face.The eldest son is just standing there, but he already knows the state and holds power - this is the emperor looking at him for his face, and he is showing kindness~ It is conceivable that as long as he does not make mistakes in the future, he will stick to his duty and devote himself to the present. The future of Xu Jiang, Xu Tao, and even his concubine sons will definitely not be bad.

Xu Wei is very satisfied with the present day!He really doesn't want to change.

But just like what the third son Xu Tao said, the Zhang family's kindness to the Xu family is as great as a mountain. If it hadn't been for the old master Zhang to pull him in and introduce him to the present, today, he may not have the comfortable life he is today. .Not only that, Old Master Zhang promoted Xu Wei more times, and regarded him as a confidant. Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Zhang, and Xu Hao, Mrs. Xu’s eldest son, also have a deep friendship. The Zhang family has never asked for help. For so many years, but also He just opened his mouth this time. Could it be that he just turned people away like this?

Xu Wei's literati character made him unable to do this.Even if this were the case, the Xu family might get involved with the Jia family, which would give the Xu family a bad reputation as being friends with nobles. Xu Wei did not dare to tell the Zhang family frankly that he was not willing to accept this apprentice!All he could say was to look at people first.

In the bottom of my heart, Xu Wei also sympathized with the Zhang family. What a good child back then, he ended up marrying into such a tiger and wolf den like Jia's family. As soon as he got home, his face changed, causing Mrs. Zhang to suffer a lot of grievances!Those of them who were close to Mr. Zhang Laohou watched it in their hearts, but they all remembered it.

Xu Wei thought of Mr. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang, no amount of dissatisfaction could be suppressed. Even Jia Daishan held back his temper when he said that he would come to the door.

Anyway, let's take a look at Jia Hu's qualifications first.Just for the sake of his grandfather!

"Master Xu~"

"Jia Guogong!"

When Jia Daishan and Xu Wei met, they were all very enthusiastic. Xu Wei greeted Jia Daishan at the door, went to the room and sat down together, and said with a smile: "I just want to see the child, but I don't want to work hard for the Duke, which makes me feel uneasy. Good days."

"It's my own presumptuousness." Jia Daishan smiled lovingly, "You also know that at my age, the most important thing I care about is my grandchildren, and I know that the recklessness here is not because I am thinking about these two boys? Pointing to Jia Hu and Jia Zhu, "These two children are filial and sensible, and I am also in pain. It is not that I heard that they came to the house, I thought about it, and it is also a long time since I have not seen you, Mr. Xu, so I simply came to the door recklessly. .Master Xu, please don’t take offense~”

Xu Wei stared, pretending to be dissatisfied and said: "Look at what the Duke said, I can't even ask for you to come!"

Jia Zheng led the two children forward, and bowed deeply: "Boy Jia Zheng has seen Mr. Xu!"

Jia Hu and Jia Zhu made a big gift: "Jia Hu (Jia Zhu) has met Mr. Xu!"

Xu Wei hurriedly shouted: "Get up, get up~" He called the two children to his side, looked up and down carefully one by one, looked at Jia Daishan with a smile, and envied him: "Master Guo is very lucky, the second master is tall and straight , The grandson still looks good compared to the other, exquisite and cute, I really envy others."

Jia Daishan glared at Jia Zheng with hatred, and said: "Don't give me face, this kid is still far behind, how can he compare with your three sons, all of them are handsome and young. He, too It’s just this stinky skin that you can see too much!”

Xu Wei just looked at him and said to him: "Look at what you said, in Manjingli, who doesn't know that your second master likes to study the most, works hard and is filial, so you are not satisfied, but you are not enough!"

Xu Jiang also laughed and said: "Father doesn't know, the second master is known to be good at reading. We haven't seen him for a few days, and we only found out after asking that he is studying at home."

Xu Wei looked at Jia Zheng with more gentle eyes: "Okay, I know how to work hard and have a heart, okay!" He also said to Jia Daishan, "You are still picking on such a good son, so what kind of perfect person is needed to win you?" Okay?!" Without waiting for Jia Daishan to answer, he asked Jia Zheng to ask him about the books he had read recently, and asked some more questions, and Jia Zheng answered fluently, and he couldn't find a single mistake.Xu Wei became more and more kind, and nodded in praise: "It can be seen that he has worked hard."

A gleam of joy flashed quickly in Jia Zheng's eyes, and Jia Daishan also suppressed the joy, saying: "You praise him too much, he is still far behind."

Xu Wei didn't continue, but turned his attention to the two children sitting, looked at Jia Zhu, and asked with a smile: "This is Brother Zhu, right? appearance."

This is true, Jia Zhu inherited the good looks of her parents, her eyes and eyebrows were carved out of the same model as Wang's, but the high forehead and round ears are inherited from Jia Daishan, which is why Jia Daishan loves Jia Zhu so much one of the reasons.

However, Jia Daishan still wanted to say a few words: "The child is still young, how can I see anything, the eyebrows and eyes are more like her mother, too delicate. I hope he will be older and look more heroic."

Jia Zheng twitched his eyelashes and unconsciously stirred the corners of his clothes, while Jia Hu frowned. In terms of refinement, wouldn't his facial features of Xiao Mu be more heroic?Could it be that he actually doesn't like his appearance?

Xu Wei has seen two children. Jia Hu is worthy of Zhang's child. At such a young age, he can already see what kind of handsome man he will be in the future. Round and round, but those sparkling and watery eyes, the complexion as white and tender as snow, changing clothes, a little Zhang's alive, is more than a delicate one that can be summed up.In comparison, Jia Zhu looks more boyish, but far less refined and beautiful than Jia Hu.But that momentum has lost again, the boyish one is weak, but the beautiful one has a calm atmosphere.

Fortunately, Jia Hu is imposing enough that no one will mistake his gender.

When people are old, they like delicate and beautiful children, especially the blood of old friends. Xu Wei looked at the two children and retorted: "It's not good to be fine, and you don't look at your son-in-law Lin Ruhai, doesn't he look good? Fuck it!" Too much thought, I think, these two children are very good. Look at this appearance, how many ladies will be fascinated by them in the future!"

"That's good, it saves me from worrying about their future daughter-in-law!" Jia Daishan laughed.It's just that Xu Wei could see clearly that Jia Zheng's and Jia Daishan's eyes were clearly focused on Jia Zhu. Fortunately, Jia Hu couldn't bear it and smiled nonchalantly.

A child who is only so old knows how to restrain his emotions.Xu Wei sighed from the bottom of his heart, but he felt more fond of Jia Hu.

After all, today's topic is apprenticeship, everyone laughed for a while, Xu Wei and Xu Jiang each gave a meeting gift, and it was Xu Wei's apprenticeship exam.

Xu Wei didn't ask any questions, just pulled the two children to ask, first asked Jia Hu strangely: "Why don't you see your father today?"

Jia Hu didn't care about Jia Daishan and Jia Zheng's eyes. He stood up and said with a calm smile: "Father used to say that grandfather is the backbone of our house. No matter what happens, as long as it is in the hands of grandfather, there will be no mistakes. Today Grandpa took us out with compassion, so what is there to worry about? Although I also wanted to visit Mr. Xu, but the house is full of trivial matters, so I can only come back to apologize to him in the future. If you are rude, please don't take offense! "

He said it in an orderly and reasonable manner. He not only pointed out that Jia Amnesty respected and believed in Jia Daishan, but also said that there were so many trivial matters that he couldn't get rid of, and he paid for it in the end. Xu Wei hesitated in his heart. Some people taught Jia Hu, but all of them were Jia Hu's own thoughts.If it's what he thinks...

"Your father is also polite. If you can't get away, you can't get away. See you later, what's the big deal!" Xu Wei changed his tone and boasted, "Your father respects the elders so much, his heart is commendable! Hu Brother can learn a lot."

Jia Hu bowed slightly, and said: "Filial piety is the first thing to do. My father taught me to read, and he said the word filial piety first. The elders are respected, the kindness of birth, the virtue of upbringing, I will never forget it!"

Xu Wei was pleasantly surprised: "You are so young, you still understand these things?"

Jia Hu seemed to be calm, his expression remained unchanged, and he replied calmly: "Father once taught "Book of Filial Piety", I just have a rough impression."

Xu Wei then asked Jia Zhu, "But you've learned it too?" Jia Zhu hurriedly got up, so Xu Wei nodded and smiled, and said to Jia Daishan, "The teaching in the house is good!" Jia Daishan shaved his beard and smiled.

Xu Wei thought for a while and asked Jia Hu: "I heard that your father doesn't like studying, why do you just concentrate on studying?"

Jia Hu blinked, but said strangely: "Why study so hard? I like reading! What does this have to do with my father?"

Xu Wei was stunned for a moment, Xu Tao couldn't hold back, and laughed outright.Jia Daishan hurriedly shouted: "Brother Hu, why are you talking to the elder!"

Jia Hu was busy apologizing to Xu Wei, but Xu Wei burst out laughing suddenly: "Well said, well said! But I was delusional and asked questions I shouldn't have asked. You naturally like to read books, and your father is very close to you. It's nothing to do with it!" Taking a deep look at Jia Hu, he asked Jia Zhu again, "Then do you like reading?"

Jia Zhu also bowed slightly and said, "Reading can make you understand and broaden your knowledge. I like reading very much."

Xu Wei nodded slightly, and then asked Jia Hu: "I heard that your father likes painting and calligraphy toys? This is not a hobby. You must have been studying for a while, but have you ever persuaded your father? First, it’s the wrong way, you have to be clear!”

Hearing this, Jia Daishan's face was hot, and he felt that Jia Hu's chances of being a teacher this time were slim, thanks to him coming, if Jia Amnesty came, wouldn't Rongguo Mansion lose all face? !This rebel, look at this notorious man!Let him be ashamed!

But Jia Hu got angry, his small face became serious, straightened his waist, looked at Xu Wei, and said seriously: "The emperor keeps pearls and jade, the princes hide gold and stones, the doctor keeps dogs and horses, and the common people hide cloth and silk. You dare to ask, Master Xu." Do you like calligraphy and painting?" Her exquisite face was tense, but did she lose her temper? !

Xu Tao hadn't concealed his smile. Xu Jiang looked at Jia Hu again, and looked at Xu Wei as if watching the excitement.

Xu Wei was tongue-tied and speechless.This kid is so courageous!Good, bright brain!

Jia Zheng looked at his son with satisfaction in his eyes. Turning his head, he drank Jia Hu and said, "Fang told you, why did you commit the crime again now? Mr. Xu is your mother's elder, you should respect him, how can you?" So presumptuous!"

Jia Hu just raised his face: "Father gave birth to me, raised me and taught me, he is my closest elder. Although Mr. Xu is the elder, he is not relative. My nephew only knows that the elder is the elder, and the elder is the elder. Heaven and earth Parents and teachers, except for the monarch of heaven and earth, there is nothing greater than your parents. Although my father's collection of gold and stone is not favored by literati and gentlemen, it is common in aristocratic families, and there is nothing wrong with it! Master Xu misunderstood my father, so I naturally want to defend him! After a pause, he looked at Jia Zheng and said, "If I see my father's reputation damaged and remain indifferent, wouldn't it be a waste of my father's kindness to me in the past?" Jia Zheng was speechless.

Xu Wei nodded solemnly, and said: "Well said! Filial piety is the same as obedience without violation, justifying the name of parents, standing up to show off the lintel, this is great filial piety, it's rare that you have understood this truth at such a young age!" She laughed at herself arrogantly, "I said something I shouldn't have said again~~" As he spoke, his right eyebrow was raised high.

Jia Hu once heard from Mrs. Zhang that Xu Wei was very intelligent, but when he was young, he couldn't control himself, he was very happy and angry. When he is happy, he likes to raise his right eyebrow, and when he is angry, he likes to rub his left thumb and little finger~ So, Xu Wei is not angry anymore?Jia Hu had a clue in his mind, so he calmed down and apologized to Xu Wei: "I spoke recklessly and contradicted the elder, and I am here to apologize to Master Xu!"

Xu Wei accepted it calmly, but added another sentence: "You justified your father's name, there is nothing wrong with it. If you encounter such things in the future, you should do it again!" He praised him, "I heard that you only learned the Analects of Confucius? Why? I have read "The Book of Rites of the Great Dai" by heart, and this article on persuasion to learning is well used."

Jia Hu knew that the front was enough to show the limelight, but it was not beautiful after that, so he said humbly: "It's just what my mother remembers when she mentions it occasionally, and she hasn't read the "Book of Rites" very well."

That's it, at such a young age, it is impossible to really read the Book of Rites.Xu Wei, Xu Jiang and the others suddenly realized that they had to think again, what did Mrs. Zhang mean when she said this collection of gold and stones in front of Jia Hu?Is it because he is afraid that his son will misunderstand his father, so he deliberately uses allusions to defend Jia She?In this way, Zhang's Jia amnesty couple, but the relationship is good!

Xu Wei's heart moved, and he looked at Jia Hu with more satisfaction and kindness in his eyes: "Although your mother mentioned it by accident, you can still remember it firmly. It is rare to learn and apply it!" Jia Hu didn't say it again this time. what.Xu Wei glanced at Jia Daishan with a smile, "Brother Hu is young and intelligent, and it is rare for him to be filial and courteous. If the old Duke doesn't mind, would you be willing to let him join me?"

Is this about accepting disciples?

Jia Daishan and Jia Zheng's face all changed, he was humiliated twice, why is he still willing to accept Jia Hu as his apprentice?Especially Jia Zheng, who just laughed at Jia Shezhang for not being able to teach his son and embarrass him in front of others, but now Xu Wei suddenly wants to accept him?And he didn't mention Jia Zhu in a word, didn't he just praise it earlier?

This is also Jia Daishan and Jia Zheng's way of treating a gentleman with a villain's heart, just as if everyone is like them and can't stand others' cold jokes, but he doesn't know that Xu Wei himself is a talented and arrogant person, and his favorite is the genius who is eager to learn People, Jia Hu is young and cute, but has amazing talent. He is also the grandson of Zhang Laohou, Zhang's parent-child. Smart and filial, the son of an old friend can have this kind of behavior, Xu Wei is too late to be happy, how can he really care about a child? !

"It's rare that Mr. Xu can catch his eye. I can't be overjoyed." Jia Daishan has been in the ups and downs of his career for many years, and he is smooth after all, but he was surprised for a moment, and quickly reacted, laughing, "It's just that Brother Hu is still young, and he will be naughty when the time comes. I don't allow Mr. Xu to send him back~"

Xu Wei laughed loudly: "Don't worry, don't worry, such a good child, I just wish it wasn't from my family, so return it? How is it possible?!"

Jia Daishan took a long breath, and said, "I'm relieved by Mr. Xu's words~" After speaking, he and Xu Wei looked at each other, and they both burst into laughter.Pausing for a moment, Jia Daishan glanced at Jia Zhu, who was still young and couldn't hide his emotions, and saw that his face was pale and lost his mind, after all, he couldn't bear it, and said to Xu Wei: "Master Xu, look at my second grandson... "

Before the words were finished, Xu Wei boasted: "The grandson of the Duke is also very intelligent. He is generous and calm at a young age. He really deserves to come from the mansion. This kind of education is rare in Beijing. In the future To shine brightly on the lintel and show off the family, the Duke is very lucky!"

Jia Zheng quickly lowered his head, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and his heart was full of humiliation.No matter how nice the praise, isn't it still unwilling to accept Jia Zhu?He didn't even let Jia Daishan continue talking!
