Aristocratic family's career in the Red Chamber

The servants of the Rongguo Mansion can clearly feel that Jia She and the Zhang family are very different from before.

In the past, for food and clothing costs in the mansion, the second room was the first to choose everything, but now Mrs. Zhang is not polite at all, but on such occasions, she personally takes people to greet Jia Mu, and after she picks first, she goes straight to the first room. pick well.Mother Jia didn't want it at first, but Mrs. Zhang just sneered: "Could it be that the second room doesn't know what is the way to grow up? The second brother has been studying for so many years, but he failed the exam. At least he should know that these three-year-olds know it." That's the thing." Jia's mother was so angry that she was half dead, Wang's face was flushed, and she couldn't refute a word.

In the past, when guests came to entertain them, most of them were Jia Zheng, and Jia Zheng also had many friends, and they kept coming and going, so the mansion was very lively.It's just as lively now, but the protagonist has changed, Jia She replaced Jia Zheng, and the guests are no longer those literati and students who talked about articles and poems, but the children of the rich and powerful, who eat delicacies from mountains and seas and speak like gold and stones Jade.Several times when Jia Zheng came across Jia She entertaining guests, he muttered, "Playing things and losing one's ambition." Seeing that his expression was wrong, Jia She was definitely not saying something nice, so he just smiled and said: "Second brother, it's been a long time since he invited guests to the house to play? Mo Why don't you post a post and ask people to come? It's not good to be bored by yourself!" Jia Zheng's face turned gloomy for a moment—who doesn't know his current reputation, and who else would dare to accept his invitation?

The most peculiar thing was Jia Daishan's reaction.In the past, Jia She and the Zhang family dared to release their birthdays like this. Jia Daishan had taught them a lesson, but this time, Jia Daishan didn't seem to see it.The servants all discussed, could it be that the master is really disappointed in the second master?But it's clear that the master is always kind to the second master, right?

In any case, the servants of Rongguo Mansion are the most adaptable people, and their attitude towards Dafang gradually became respectful.

In fact, not only these servants were puzzled, but even Mrs. Jia She Zhang was also confused and didn't know why.

When Jia She and the Zhang family began to change their attitudes, they were still worried that Jia Daishan and Jiamu would suppress them harshly. They had already prepared several plans, and they planned to use them to defend themselves when Jia Daishan blamed them. Acknowledge their struggle.But to say that he agrees, Mingming stood up several times to hint that they are not allowed to make too much trouble.What on earth does this mean?

Zhang and Jia She talked about it in private, but neither of them could tell why.

Since you can't figure it out, forget it!Jia She Zhang is also busy now, so he doesn't care about this much.

First, Jia She attended Mr. Hydrograph's Jinshi Banquet. Sure enough, as the rumors spread, celebrities from the world of gold and stone antiques gathered, and there were too many rich and powerful children in Beijing. Hearing famous or wealthy faces, one's breathing becomes short of breath.

He simply remembered Xu Wei's admonition, he didn't show off his background everywhere, but humbly only reported his name, and then quietly listened to other people's discussions, not to mention interrupting at will to show off his talents , just expressing one's opinion with questions or simply, learning from others, not being arrogant, not being humble, not being humble, being able to speak less, but not being rigid - in order to do this, Jia She has practiced at home for a long time, and finally the effort is not lost As a caring person, his attitude finally won him the favor of this group of lovers of gold, stone and antiques.

It is said that antiques are the favorite things of the rich and powerful, and this is absolutely true.In troubled times, antique calligraphy and paintings may not be as valuable as a steamed bun, but in today's peaceful and prosperous times, antique calligraphy and paintings are worth sky-high prices.Ordinary people can sell an ancient painting, and immediately become a small landlord and live a good life, how can they afford such things.Those who love antiques and gold stones and can immerse themselves in them for a long time are mostly from rich and noble backgrounds, just like Mr. Hydrology!

Jia Amnesty was born, had good eyesight, and acted sensibly, and for Xu Wei's sake, during the banquet, Mr. Hydrograph personally introduced several well-connected old people to him and entrusted them to take care of them.He gave Jia She face like this, and when others saw him, they would naturally think highly of him. By the time the banquet was over, several people had already planned to invite Jia She to attend the banquet at their residence.

With the invitation and acknowledgment of these people, Jia Amnesty can be regarded as having paid homage to the mountain gate in the antique world, officially entered the industry, and it is good to say that he has a good reputation.Jia Amnesty was grateful, and when he turned around, he took some rare ancient artifacts passed down by the old lady, and personally went to the County Ma Mansion to thank Mr. Shuiwen.Mr. Shuiwen turned around and talked to the princess, the couple said: "Sure enough, the rumors from the outside world are not credible, and they say that Jia She is out of tune. I think he is very orderly, but he is very good!"

"It's just that Duke Rong and Mrs. Guo are partial to the youngest son, and they said a few words casually, which were spread by others, and finally ruined their reputation." He sighed, "It's really a pity! It's been misunderstood for so many years."

The princess saw Zhang Shi from behind, thought of Jia Amnesty, and was very kind to her. Seeing the harmony between the two, others naturally looked up to Zhang Shi more.It added a brilliance to Mrs. Zhang, who was always going well.

As far as Zhang's socializing outside, it is indeed much better than Jia She.She came from a good background, although her father passed away, the Zhang family's reputation is still very good, there are few gossips, everyone trusts Zhang's upbringing.Before Mr. Zhang left, Zhang's handkerchiefs were better, and the friendship was good. However, after Mr. Zhang passed away, Mother Jia changed her attitude and forbade her to leave the house casually, so she gradually drifted away. contacts.Now, she has Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Zhang to help her. Later, her husband's prodigal son turned around and his reputation is getting better. His son is getting older and younger, and he has already worshiped a famous teacher. She is still the daughter-in-law of the Rongguo Mansion. A welcome situation in the middle.

Furthermore, Jia Hu's homework was praised by Xu Wei, Jia Lian could already speak and make people walk, and the two couples were very satisfied with the life in front of them.

They are satisfied, so naturally Jiamu Jiazheng is not satisfied.

Once again, she was contradicted by Mrs. Zhang for being neither soft nor hard. The more Jia Mu thought about it, the more she couldn't swallow it, and she brought someone angrily to ask Jia Daishan for an explanation: "You can tell me that I am in charge of the eldest daughter-in-law, so don't scold her." They, but look at what they look like now? Why do you still pay attention to my mother? Master, what happened to you? You have become so I can't recognize it!"

Jia Daishan felt his chest tight and panicked for the past few days, and it was too late for recuperation. He really didn't have the mood to care about the affairs of the house, and he didn't think Jia She Zhang would do too much. He knew the temperament of these two people, one was from a famous family A lady is sensible, a mediocrity is better than being obedient and filial to her parents. It is true that she will take this opportunity to vent her anger, but disobedience?Absolutely not.Mother Jia rushed over in such a reckless manner, she didn't notice that he was unwell at all, and asked in such a tone, Jia Daishan's good mood was completely defeated immediately.Looking at her, he sneered and said, "Don't take you seriously? Did the eldest daughter-in-law speak badly to you? Did she show face to you? Did she deduct the expenses of your yard?"

Jia Mu was anxious: "They dare!"

Jia Daishan said casually: "Then what are you dissatisfied with? Although it's a little bit not to your liking, but I see, it's not bad for them to change like this, and they can also help the mansion with more contacts."

If Jia Zheng brought benefits to the government, Jia's mother would be very happy, but it was brought by Jia Amnesty. How could Jia's mother be happy?He said anxiously: "It's just some people who like to have fun. Boss just chats with them about antique calligraphy and paintings. If there is something serious, what can these people do for our house? Boss looks like he is too big now. What do you think when you ask the second brother to see it? He was already distressed by the nonsense of outsiders. Not only did the elder brother not help him find a way, but he gloated like this, how sad must he be?"

After all, Jia Daishan cared about Jia Zheng. After thinking about it, he said to Jia's mother, "The second child has stayed in the mansion for a long time, right? Last time he said that he likes my Tang Yin's landscape painting, you can take it to him later. "And a little dissatisfied, "Even if people gossip, he knows in his heart that it's not the case. It's been so long, he should let it go, what can he do at home every day?"

Mother Jia was dumbfounded, is this the end? "Master, what's wrong with you? The boss has done so many wrong things, and you want to defend him, so you bring a broken painting to our mother and child? If you hate it, let's just say it. I will take the second son back to Jinling Go to the ancestral house, just stop being in your eyes, why do you hang on to me like this, what have I become these days!"

Jia Daishan sternly said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Going back to Jinling? How dare you say that in front of me?"

Jia's mother stuck her neck: "The second child is about to get sick. I don't care if you are happy or not? He was sick before. What should we do if he gets sick again now? It's better for our mother and son to go back to the ancestors. Go home, maybe the ancestors will bless me, and my son can grow old in peace!"

Jia Daishan was forced to do nothing by such Jia's mother, and shook his head annoyed: "The boss is just a little bit frivolous recently, so what if you bear it, you have to make trouble endlessly."

Seeing that his attitude had softened, Jia's mother also softened her voice and said: "The boss is also my son, how can I not feel sorry for him? But the fact that he and his wife have done it really makes me not happy. This villain is successful. The appearance, how can it look like the grandparents of the Duke's Mansion! Master, you still don't allow me to talk about them, but it seems that I, a mother, can't talk about them. Tell me, how can this make me feel better?"

Jia Daishan frowned slightly: "It's not that you don't know that the boss thinks that we are partial to the second child, and he is not convinced. The second child failed this time, so he can't just punish him for nothing? I just want to let the boss stimulate the second child, so that he knows , If you don’t pass the exam, you will get a good result!”

When Jia's mother heard this, she was fine, and said angrily, "Master, did you let the boss hurt the second child on purpose? How can you be so cruel? The second child failed the imperial examination. How sick are you?" It’s not that you didn’t see it, how did you do it?”

Jia Daishan said angrily: "Is the boss beating him or scolding him? But why can't he just say some sarcastic remarks? He is a manly man, and he can't stand hearing a few gossips?" Jia's mother was startled by his anger. Dare to speak, but I still feel dissatisfied.

Jia Daishan thought she had listened to the persuasion, sighed and said: "I am not only here to teach the second brother a lesson, but also to tell the boss to vent his anger and restore the harmony between the brothers. This is not reconciled and I have been holding back for a long time. Sooner or later Brothers are separated, why don't you take this opportunity to tell the boss to vent his anger, and don't hold grudges against the second brother in the future."

Jia's mother said in a deep voice, "He dares to remember and hate the second child!" But she also knew that Jia Daishan's words were polite.

Jia Daishan said again: "Not only that. The second son failed the ranking this time, and he will not be able to do anything for three years. Now he is not good at going out to socialize. I was thinking, let the boss go outside, he knows more Some people can also help the second child in the future." Looking at the disapproving mother Jia, "Don't underestimate those who play antiques, not to mention the rich and powerful, but there are many wealthy families. Many of the profits have been robbed by the shops under the princes of the Xia Family in Cheng’en’s Mansion and the General’s Mansion, the profits are not as good as in the past, the boss can help them to help with the business, there is more money in the mansion, the second child can only benefit.”

After listening to these words, Mother Jia felt at ease: "So, you want the boss to help take care of the general affairs in Gu's mansion?"

Jia Daishan frowned: "He is the eldest son, how can he take care of general affairs, it's just to help with business."

But even so, Mother Jia was satisfied.It turns out that Jia Amnesty was supported because he saw his usefulness.Mother Jia looked at Jia Daishan with some embarrassment, and apologized: "Just now I spoke a little too aggressively, but I didn't mean anything, master, please don't take it to heart!"

Jia Daishan glared at her: "Forget it, old couple, what can I blame you for?" Jia Mu smiled, poured a cup of tea and handed it to him as an apology.

Jia Daishan took a sip and drank it, suddenly remembered the news he had received first, and said with a smile: "I'm so confused by you, I almost forgot such a happy event." Looking at Jia's mother, he said, "The third and fourth princes in the palace are going to enter the palace. It's time to go to the study room, the emperor wants to choose a companion for the two princes, it seems that he has chosen our brother Hu!"

Mother Jia was startled: "Brother Hu?"

Jia Daishan smiled and nodded: "That's not it. I heard that it seems that it is for Master Xu's sake, and Princess Anrong also helped to say good things!" Squinting at Jia's mother, "Boss is playing with Mr. Shui Wen with these antique calligraphy and paintings , Do you think it’s really useless?!” After finishing speaking, he drank tea happily and kept Jia Mu, his expression was constantly changing...
