Aristocratic family's career in the Red Chamber

There were four people on the trip, two of them wanted to be apprentices, but it was Jia Hu who managed to get Xu Wei to speak and stay behind. When Jia's mother heard it, she thought it was something wrong with her ears, and she got confused when she waited until she was sure that it was correct. After listening to Jia Daishan's advice, he threw the high-quality Hongsang embossed inkstone carefully selected as a gift for Jia Hu's fifth birthday, and threw it back on the table. There was a gap in the cloud pattern, and a treasured Duan inkstone was destroyed in an instant.

Mrs. Wang sat beside her, hating that the occasion was wrong, that it was not good for her to throw her hands at things, and she felt panicked.

Both of them were in a bad mood, so they felt that the smiling Zhang was an eyesore.

Waiting for Jia Daishan in the evening, Mother Jia immediately asked: "Why did Master Xu just accept Brother Hu? Brother Zhu is such a smart person, he is not as good as Brother Hu in any way, why is Brother Hu accepted now?" It’s gone, but Brother Zhu has been left behind!”

Jia Daishan was also feeling uncomfortable. Hearing Jiamu's aggressive questioning, his face darkened, and he said, "You didn't go back to the house to rest and wait for me so late, just to ask me about this?"

Jia Daishan has a violent temper, and Jia's mother was too anxious, so she forgot for a moment. If she had to put it aside, she would never have such an attitude in front of Jia Daishan. Said: "Aren't I anxious after hearing the news? The person who came back to report the letter didn't say clearly. He only said that Brother Hu was accepted by Mr. Xu. I was also worried about Brother Zhu." He asked him again, "Why is this so? Come back late, Master Xu left you? What did you say?" While smiling, he asked someone to go to the kitchen to fetch the stewed ginseng soup, "You didn't come back for dinner, I'm afraid you won't be used to eating elsewhere, early Let people stew it, and keep it warm on the kitchen, you can drink more later."

Jia Daishan felt more at ease, his complexion eased, and he nodded with a hum.Mother Jia asked someone to bring hot tea again, and she personally urged the girl to change Jia Daishan's formal attire into regular clothes, and waited until everything was in order. Jia Daishan sat comfortably on the chair, then stopped and sat down for another On one side, Baba asked: "Master looks not in good spirits, could it be that he was tired in Xu Mansion?"

Jia Daishan glanced back at Jia Mu, although she tried her best to conceal it, but the worry and anxiety in her heart could not be hidden from her eyes. Thinking of Jia Zheng and Jia Zhu, Jia Daishan secretly sighed, but somewhat understood Jia Mu's urgency , and said: "Actually, it's nothing, but this Xu Wei is actually more slick than I thought, and it took some time to talk together for a while."

Jia's mother didn't like Xu Wei at the moment, and she frowned when she heard the words: "How dare he refute the master's face?! It's too ungrateful." In her opinion, Jia's family is a duke's family, and Xu Wei is No matter how talented and famous he is, he is only a bachelor, so how dare he not give Jia Dai good face.

Jia Daishan also knew that Jia's mother was a person, and he was really unhappy in Xu's house today, but now he felt that Jia's mother's proud attitude of Jia's family was very caring, and said with a more pleasant face: "What nonsense are you talking about, Xu Wei Jane is in the emperor's heart, and I can't blame others for not giving me face."

It's not that he didn't want to save face, he took Jia Zheng and Jia Zhu with him, and he showed his attitude when he was outside. Jia Hu and Jia Zhu were more partial to Jia Zhu, let alone Jia Zheng. Go, everyone in the officialdom has a bright eye and a bright heart. He has behaved to this point. Xu Wei actually said that he would not give face if he didn't give face. In the end, he just praised Jia Zhu a few words and only accepted Jia Hu. Under the door, he didn't give him face at all!

Looking at Jia Daishan's displeased eyes, Jia's mother panicked even more, and said angrily, "This Xu Wei, fortunately he is still a bachelor, is so blind! Brother Zhu is such a bright and intelligent child, he is no better than Brother Hu. A hundred times, but he only looks at Brother Hu."

Jia Daishan glared at her: "Just shut up, after all he still accepted Brother Hu." No matter how dissatisfied, Jia Hu is Jia Daishan's grandson after all, and Jia Daishan is still satisfied that he can worship Xu Wei as his teacher.

Jia's mother didn't think so, she had a weak feeling for Jia She and Jia Hu, now that Jia Hu was in the limelight, but her beloved youngest son and grandson were at a disadvantage, she just wished she could teach Jia a good lesson. What is brotherhood, not to mention any good feelings towards Xu Wei: "Where did I make a mistake, it's not like you don't know how filial Zhu Geer is on weekdays, and what delicious food and drink is there?" Remember to give us a taste first, motivated and sensible, how hard-working and hard-working in reading? Brother Hu, the most restless, ran into the garden when he had nothing to do, at a young age, chasing chickens and dogs, alive and well It's a monkey. No matter how you look at it, Mr. Xu should accept Brother Zhu."

Jia Daishan's eyes stood up: "You are getting more and more energetic. Brother Hu is more lively, but it's not like what you said. He is just more active. He told me before that he will practice martial arts when he grows older." Well, once it got into your mouth, it turned into chasing the chicken and the dog!"

Jia Daishan fought with his father on the battlefield when he was young, and his martial arts skills were not weak, but neither of the two inherited his martial arts. As time passed, Jia Daishan put away his son's desire to practice martial arts, and instead valued it. son learning.It's rare that Jia Hu has a good talent for reading and is also interested in martial arts. It's too late for Jia Daishan to be happy. How can Jia's mother say that he is not good.In particular, Jia Hu's performance has been getting better and better in recent years, which can be regarded as being in Jia Daishan's eyes. When he is old, he always misses his grandson, but he feels that Jia's mother is too demanding of Jia Hu.

"It's better that the child is more lively. Brother Hu is very active, but you still want him to sit in the house every day?!" She glanced at Jia's mother angrily, "I know you love Brother Zhu, but don't forget Xu Wei doesn't have any friendship with our family, but it's just for the sake of the eldest daughter-in-law. What's the relationship between the Zhang family and the Xu family? Can Xu Wei accept Brother Hu?" Jia Daishan also liked the good relationship between the two families. That's why he didn't dare to ask Jia Amnesty to go with him.I thought that I would go there in person, anyway, Xu Wei should give some face, but I didn't expect... Jia Hu's performance in Xu's mansion can be described as filial and intelligent. Jia Daishan only likes his grandson more, but Xu Wei is unhappy He didn't give him any face and refused to accept Jia Zhu, so he got angry, but he was satisfied with Jia Hu.

Jia Mu's impression of Jia Hu and Jia Zhu has been deeply rooted in her bones. As long as Jia Zheng is there, it will never change. Hearing this, she sneered and said: "The eldest daughter-in-law has already entered our house, so she is our Jia family's daughter-in-law." Man, isn’t Zhu Ge’er her nephew? It’s good to be out of the house, and they have become two families. Why are Hu Ge’er and Zhu Ge’er strangers? Isn’t that a blood relationship that breaks the bones and connects the tendons? Xu Wei only gives face to the elders, but not to the master?"

Jia Daishan also had this feeling in his heart, holding his breath and said: "That's because Brother Hu behaved well, he was really filial and sensible to his father and the child, Xu Wei looked at the face of the elders, so he just accepted it." It's gone." Then, he told Jia's mother what happened during the day again, "Fortunately, the child can have such a bearing at such a young age, and he is not surprised when he changes, he is worthy of being the seed of my Jia family!"

Mother Jia snorted and turned her face away, disapproving.Thinking of Jia Daishan's satisfaction with Jia Hu in his words, he turned his head, looked at Jia Daishan sarcastically, and said, "Yes, yes, that child is filial and caring to his father, so that's a thousand blessings. The Zhu Geer I taught I can’t compare to others, I am no better at teaching children than the elders, Brother Zhu grew up beside me, I have delayed him, even half of Brother Renhu can’t match! Can’t blame Xu Wei for looking down on him!”

Jia Daishan put on a straight face and said angrily: "What kind of anger are you, Brother Hu is good for you, you are good, not only unhappy, but angry!"

Mother Jia was so angry that she couldn't bear it anymore. She pinched the veil and covered her eyes, choked up and said, "I'm not angry, Brother Hu Jinyi, I'm just unhappy. Brother, you don’t save any face for the master. Brother Zhu is so young and shameless in front of so many people, how sad is he?!" The voice became more and more sad for a while, "Brother Zhu was taught by you personally , is it not as good as Brother Hu who was taught by the boss in a nonchalant manner? Xu Wei did this, didn’t he slap you in the face again? If you spread the word, what will others think of you?!”

Why didn't Jia Daishan think of this?Otherwise, Mr. Jia wouldn't be so unhappy. At this moment, Jia Mu was still pouring salt on his wound, slapped the table, and scolded: "A woman's opinion!" She shook her sleeves and went to the study.

Mother Jia tore off the veil angrily, and clenched her teeth...

Jia Zhengyuan's place is similar to Jia's mother's. Wang waited for Jia Zheng and Jia Zhu to come back and asked what happened in Xu's mansion. She didn't understand. Her heart was a thousand times better than Jia Hu's. How could Jia Zhu, who was twice as tall, be outmatched by Jia Hu?

His son was compared by Jia Amnesty, and Jia Zheng who was regarded as better than Jia Amnesty was also feeling uncomfortable. Wang was so obsessed, he couldn't find an outlet for his anger that had been suppressed all day, and sneered Throwing away Wang's hand holding his arm, he sneered: "Why didn't you get selected? You take care of him every day and you don't know what to do? Look at your son who is well-raised. You are not good at studying, Brother Hu. I won’t talk about it for a long time, why didn’t even Brother Hu’s understanding and filial piety learn 01:30? How do you teach your son?!”

After all, he ignored Wang's discolored face from the blow, and turned around to go to the concubine's room. Wang called him several times from behind, but he just pretended not to hear, and didn't even look at him much. give one.

Wang was so angry that her eyes were red, and she gritted her teeth and cursed the concubines in the backyard in a low voice: "Damn it, Hu Meizi!" It was Zhou Rui's family who pulled her, and she came back to her senses, and turned her head to look at the remaining concubines. Jia Zhu, who came down, was already out of breath from crying.

I can't blame Jia Zhu for being sad.He was just a child under the age of four, no matter how precocious he is on weekdays, he was spoiled and spoiled since he was a child, even if someone was around to hold a cup, he would worry about whether he would be too heavy and tired, how could he suffer at all? ?Although Jia Hu was one year older than him in the early years and took the title of eldest grandson, who in Jia's mansion paid attention to this?With Jia Daishan and Jiamu's love, Wang's family and Jia Zheng's attention, and the girls and servants holding her up, although Jia Zhu didn't develop an arrogant temperament, she also subtly believed that she was more than a hundred times better than Jia Hu.

When Jia Hu changed later, he was diligent and motivated, and he was better than him in everything, and Jia Mu Wang kept whispering in his ears that Jia Hu was not good enough. The most important thing was that Jia Daishan, the top of the pyramid in the Rongguo Mansion, was always Although Jia Zhu had gradually developed feelings for Jia Hu who personally taught him to read and write, the honor Jia Daishan gave him made him never feel that he would be inferior to Jia Hu.Jia Zhu could always remember Wang's words, even though Jia Hu was smarter and more sensible, with his uncle Jia She's nonsensical teaching, he would never be able to compare with him in the future.In Jia Mansion, he is the most honored one!

But just today, his cognition was slammed to the ground by Xu Wei, and the truth that had been concealed by Wang's and Jia's mother in the past was mercilessly revealed in front of his little eyes—it was Jia. Hu was not taught by Jia Daishan, and was not loved by Jia's mother. This brother, who is one year older than him, is much better than him in the eyes of outsiders!

Master Xu accepted the eldest brother, but did not accept him, because he was no match for the eldest brother!Jia Zhu had been thinking about this when he was in the Xu Mansion, and then remembered that Jia Hu first proposed to give gifts on Jia Daishan’s birthday. During the sacrifices, those tribesmen also praised Jia Hu more...he was treated like an eyeball and grew up with care. Jia Zhu suddenly found out that someone thought Jia Hu was much better than him, and he immediately felt indescribably sad.Sitting in the car on the way back, Jia Daishan and Jia Zheng looked very ugly. When Jia Zheng led him back to the yard, he looked at him with cold eyes.In the end, when he returned to the house, his mother, who loved him the most in the past, was also in a bad mood, only caring about his father and ignoring him.

Because I can't compare with my eldest brother, my grandparents and parents are angry and don't like him!Thinking of this, little Jiazhu couldn't hold back her sadness, sobbing and crying loudly.

This cry broke Wang's heart.

She just lost a child, and Jia Zhu is her heart, but now she has suffered such a big grievance!Thinking of Jia Zheng's indifference to her just now, Wang couldn't hold back, tears streaming down her cheeks, stepped forward and hugged Jia Zhu in her arms, resting her chin on his little head, and followed She burst into tears: "My poor Pearl, how wronged I have suffered~~"

It was fine if Wang didn't hug him, but after this hug, Jia Zhu felt more and more sad, grabbed Wang's lapel with her small hands, and threw away all the etiquette she had learned in daily life, like an ignorant child, tearing at him. He opened his voice and began to wail: "Mother~ mother~~ woo woo, Mr. Xu doesn't like me, and father is also angry with me~~ woo woo~~~"

Those cries pierced into the bottom of Wang's heart like a knife, making her breathless in pain: "It's all right, Zhu'er is good, don't cry, don't be sad, ah~ Father is just in a bad mood, I'm not angry with Zhu'er. Master Xu has no vision, he didn't see our Zhu'er's goodness, our Zhu'er is so good, how could he not like it~~"

Jia Zhu just couldn't believe it, her little head was buried in Wang Shi's arms, and Wang Shi couldn't cry no matter what, she wept bitterly, the warm tears wet Wang Shi's skirt, and burned Wang Shi through her clothes. into his heart and lungs.

"Zhu'er, my poor Zhu'er!" Mrs. Wang hugged Zhu Ge'er in her arms, tears stained her makeup...

Compared with the gloom and mist here, on Jia Shezhang's side, the two couples can't wait to set off two firecrackers to celebrate, and they are very happy.

As soon as Jia Hu returned to the yard, she was hugged by Zhang's heart and soul, and Baba kissed him several times until his face turned green, and she struggled for a long time before breaking free.For this, Mrs. Zhang complained all the time: "Brother Hu is getting less and less close to me, and now he won't even give me a few kisses."

It was not that Jia Hu was unwilling, so he blushed and said, "Mother, don't treat me like a child. I'm not a younger brother. Now I'm a teacher and I'm going to enter school formally. It's too bad~"

The appearance of the little adult made everyone in the room laugh.Mrs. Zhang tapped him on the forehead lightly, and scolded him: "Just how old you are, you dare to say that you are old?! Isn't it just learning from a teacher, is it amazing?!"

Jia Hu took two steps back and stood next to Jia She, touched her forehead, and ignored her, since she refused to let her hug her anyway.

Mrs. Zhang was angry and funny, and what's more, Jia She over there pulled the newly-produced Xu Dashi's closed disciple with a rare glance: "Hu'er is right, he has already worshiped a famous teacher and wants to formally enter school." , is not a child anymore, you, don’t think of him as a three-year-old child in the future. You must know that a loving mother often loses her son!”

Mrs. Zhang was not happy to hear this, so she pretended to be unhappy, and said, "How can a loving mother lose her son? My son is so promising, and it hurts me so much?" Dodging away, he cursed angrily, "But you have no conscience, you have studied with your father for a few days, and only turned to him, throwing my mother aside!"

Jia Hu stood behind Jia She, looking at Zhang with a smile: "Mother, don't say that, the son misses you, if there is no mother, where would the son be?"

"Hmph!" Mrs. Zhang gave him a blank look, and sat sideways.

Jia Amnesty asked Jia Hu to come over and asked, "You are at Xu's house today, what did Master Xu say? I heard that Master Xu only accepted you? Your grandfather didn't say anything at that time?"

Mrs. Zhang also asked: "What's the attitude of Mr. Xu? Do you like you? How do you treat you? You have dinner at Xu's house, right? Are you full? If you are hungry, mother will let you go down in the kitchen."

Jia Hu smiled and stopped Zhang Shi: "Mother, don't be busy, my son is full. Master treats me very kindly, and even asked about mother, son is all right." Looking at Jia She, said, "Master It is true that only me was accepted. My grandfather asked my younger brother Zhu and me to kowtow to the master. The master asked his son a lot about things at home, and also asked about his father and mother. After a few words, he decided to accept me. .Grandpa didn't say anything, he just said that he was bothering the master."

Jia Amnesty and Zhang Shi looked at each other and exhaled lightly.Xu Wei likes Jia Hu, that's good~ Jia Hu smiled again and said to Zhang: "The master said, let the son call the master first, pay homage to the master, and wait until the two senior brothers come to do it in a few days, and let me recognize the person." .”

Xu Wei took two disciples at first, and Jia Hu wanted to call him senior brother.Jia She and Mrs. Zhang all nodded: "This is as it should be, as it should be."

"The master seems to have a good impression of the second uncle. After talking a lot, the second uncle was very happy at first. Later, the younger brother Zhu failed to learn from the teacher, and the second uncle was not very happy." Jia Hu said casually, "Grandfather Although I was still laughing, but when I was eating, I accidentally caught garlic sprouts that I never ate, and I think I might not be very happy. Brother Zhu failed to learn from his teacher, and my grandfather and second uncle seemed quite disappointed."

Hearing this, Mrs. Jia Shezhang gloated a little: "Yes! Your grandfather thought that he would be safe if he went out, but he left us behind and took your second uncle with him. He didn't think that your master was a famous Confucian, so the most famous The most important thing is the strength of character. How old is Brother Zhu? He hasn’t finished his elementary school, and he hasn’t walked steadily. Make do with those who accept apprentices!"

Jia Amnesty looked at Jia Hu, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked him, his good son, but he gave him a face!Pooh, he's the second wife, he's usually domineering and domineering, he's holding Jia Zhu up to the sky, now it's all over, why shouldn't Jia Hu be compared to him? !Jia Amnesty was even more self-satisfied. So what if Jia Daishan looked down on him? Isn't the Jia Zhu he taught himself inferior to the Jia Hu he taught? !

In the future, who would dare to say that he is not as good as a big house? !

Jia Hu nodded with a smile: "When I came back, my grandfather also explained that the master is a famous Confucian, and his knowledge is the best. Let the grandson follow suit in the future. Don't worry, parents, my son will not let you down."

Jia She and Mrs. Zhang were very pleased, even Jia She, who always had a stern face and put on a strict father's face, smiled and said with a rare smile at this moment: "It's good if you have this kind of heart, you are still young, the most important thing is to your body."

Jia Hu nodded and agreed: "Son must remember." After a pause, he asked Zhang again: "Mother is very familiar with the master's house? Today my son is at Xu's house, and the master and several senior brothers are all asking how my mother is. "

"How many senior brothers?" Mrs. Zhang was a little puzzled at first, but after a while she came back to her senses and couldn't help laughing, "You are talking about Xu Jiang and Xu Tao from the Xu family. I am not familiar with them? Back then I brought They played." He glared at Jia Hu again, "It's not polite, they call me sister, you have to call me uncle."

Jia Hu chuckled twice: "My name is Shifu, Shifu, aren't they my senior brothers?!"

Mrs. Zhang refused: "Even so, we should talk about seniority!"

Jia Hu just chuckled: "The master said, if the elders are not together, they are called senior brothers. Wait until the mother waits for the elders to be there, and then talk about seniority!"

Mrs. Zhang stopped talking, and asked about the situation of Xu Wei's family. Jia Hu answered them one by one, and asked Mrs. Zhang to send a box of hand-made snacks to Xu's family during the apprenticeship ceremony: "Ms. I still remember that the snacks my mother made were delicious, and my brother gave me a lot of good things today, so my mother has to help me return the gifts."

Mrs. Zhang was asking for a good relationship with the Xu family, so no one would refuse, so she agreed with a smile. Jia Hu focused on talking to Jia She, and didn't elaborate on the matter of defending him in the Xu mansion. These things will naturally happen in the future. It will be heard in Jia She's ears, it only means that he must study hard in the future, give Jia She a good face, and make Jia She very happy. If it is not too late in the end, I am afraid that he will be reluctant to let Jia Hu go.On the way, Mrs. Zhang went to see the sleeping little Jia Lian. When she came back, she stood at the door and looked at the father and son under the light. She felt that this was the happiest thing in the world...

In the study room, the emperor's confidants discussed the affairs of the court, and today he laughed and asked everyone to laugh, Xia Zheng, the second brother of Concubine Shu's natal family in the palace, suddenly laughed and said: "Speaking of recently, the emperor has to congratulate Mr. Xu, but it's a good morning." Hui's good disciple."

Xu Wei's heart trembled, and he glanced quietly, the emperor's eyes had already looked over, and there was a chill on his back...
