Aristocratic family's career in the Red Chamber

Why doesn't Jia Hu wait to see the Rongguo Mansion?There are many reasons, nouveau riche, no rules... But the most important thing is that he can't see hope in Rongguo Mansion at all.Jia Daishan, the Duke of Rongguo at the top of the power, is doted on regardless of age, sowing the seeds of disaster for the Rongguo Mansion.And he is only over three years old now, and there are still more than ten years before he grows up. If he is under the second house that will definitely be separated in the future for more than ten years, even Jia Zhu, who is only three years old, can dominate him , just for the future that he can't even see - Jia Hu would be a fool if he was happy in his heart.

And Jia Daishan is the source of all this!One day, his eccentricity will make the resentment between the two sons deepen and deepen. When the two brothers can't help but start to move, this Rongguo Mansion will not have a stable life.Jia Hu saw all this clearly, so she became more taciturn and lack of energy.

But what did he see now?The old man who is nearly sixty years old, although he is dressed richly, his face is already showing his old age, his eyes are still sharp, but it is inevitable to be stained with the muddy color of the old people, and the skin under his eyes is completely loose, because of today's happy event, he looked at He is in good spirits, but it is still difficult to cover up his haggardness after recovering from a serious illness...

This old man is already at the end of his life.

To be honest, Jia Hu never thought that he would see such a Jia Daishan.In fact, Jia Daishan was only in his early fifties. He always believed that Jia Daishan was as healthy and energetic as Jia's mother. At least, it would be no problem to live for another few decades—but looking at it now, he might only have a few years of life.

Jia Hu's heart beat violently, and ecstasy rushed straight to his head.If Jia Daishan passed away, then as his father's eldest son, he could legitimately inherit the Rongguo Mansion. At that time, the eldest house would have the final say in the mansion, and the second room could only obey the elder brother's orders even if he was unwilling.From what I know these days, although Jia She is mediocre, he doesn't like to cause trouble.As long as he guards Rongguo Mansion quietly like this, Rongguo Mansion will inevitably fall silent, but there will be no major incidents.When he becomes an adult, he will naturally find a way to bring the silent Rongguo Mansion back into the circle of top wealthy families~ For a moment, Jia Hu seemed to see a bright and smooth road slowly unfolding before his eyes~ "Brother Hu, come to meet your uncle Uncle." Jia Daishan was very happy to see Jia Hu, and called him over, introducing someone for him.Jia Hu looked around carefully, most of them were middle-aged young people, not many were old, but Jia Daishan could introduce him personally, he must have a high family background, but it is true, a child's full moon banquet, even in the eyes of Jia Daishan He came here to congratulate him for the sake of face, and he would not really dispatch the patriarch of the family to send a respectable junior. By the way, he also had a relationship with Jia She, the future heir of the Rongguo Mansion.

Needless to say, the Rongguo Mansion still has some power at this time, with Jia Daishan sitting in charge, and many aristocratic families sent people to congratulate them.People from Zhen Guo Gong Mansion, Li Guo Gong Mansion, Qi Guo Gong Mansion, Zhi Guo Gong Mansion, Xiu Guo Gong Mansion, Shan Guo Gong Mansion, Ning Guo Gong Mansion, and even Nan'an County King, Xining County King, Beijing Prince's Mansion Chang Shi, as for some marquis mansions, there are quite a few ministers in the court, but they are not as important as the previous ones, and most of the people they send are juniors, who are not yet qualified to sit with Jia Daishan and have a banquet outside.On the contrary, the new Lord Marquis of Jingyuanhou Mansion, Jia Hu's uncle and Shi Ding of Zhongjinghou's Mansion came to the door in person, and sat next to Jia She and Jia Zheng, seeing him, he smiled very kindly.

"I've met all of you uncles." Jia Hu's state of mind has changed, and he will no longer be as sleepy and energyless as before. He gives full play to his child's advantages and shows a bright smile, but he is very sensible and does not show any faux pas. Properly saluted as a junior, showing respect to every elder - Jia She looked at his son's intelligence, his eyes were so bright that it was frightening.

Jia Daishan was also a little surprised. When did the eldest grandson, who has always been playful, become so clever?Only the guests who came didn't know what was going on, seeing that Jia Hu was well-behaved at a young age and looked good, they felt a little happy in their hearts.If you have a good relationship, you bluntly said with a smile: "This is Enhou's eldest son, right? I remember that he is not yet four years old, right? He is clever. Look at this serious one, the Duke of the country is well educated."

"It's good to be born like this. If we don't come today, we won't see such a clever boy."

Jia Amnesty couldn't hide his complacency, Jia Daishan just smiled and said, "Don't praise him, kid, what do you know?"

Shi Ding is Jiamu's nephew. He had a lot of contacts with Rongguo Mansion in the past, and he knew a little about Jia Hu. He also had some friendship with Jia Amnesty, so he asked with concern: "I heard that I had a fall a few days ago? Can it be done now?" Great?"

Jia Hu bowed to him, and said with a smile, "Please trouble my uncle to think about it, he's all right now."

Shi Ding nodded, and he had to ask: "You have to pay attention in the future~" Jia Hu naturally should not mention it.

Jia Daishan asked the nanny to bring Jia Lian over to show everyone, "This one is the right one, everyone, take a look at my little grandson."

These male guests are all old men, what interest would there be in a child, but it is because he is full moon today, so they hugged him out to let relatives and friends see that they have a new grandson, and all the guests praised him once. "Looking so blessed", he took out some small items from his body and said it was a gift for the child, and it was over, and turned to Jia Daishan with another bunch of congratulatory words.

Jia Hu also knew that he was small and could do nothing now, so he stood quietly by the side, only remembering the people Jia Daishan introduced just now in his heart.The Niu Family of Zhen Guo Gong Mansion, the Liu Family of Li Guo Gong Mansion, the Chen Family of Qi Guo Gong Mansion, the Ma Family of Zhi Guo Gong Mansion, the Hou Family of Xiu Guo Gong Mansion, the Shi Family of Shan Guo Gong Mansion, the Shui Family of Beijing Prince's Mansion, and the Historian of Zhongjing Hou Mansion , Jiang's family in Pingyuanhou's mansion, Xie's family in Dingchenghou's mansion, Qi's family in Xiangyanghou's mansion, Qiu's family in Jingtianhou's mansion, Han's family in Jinxiangbo's mansion, Zhang's family in Jingyuanhou's mansion...

Most of the people sitting with Jia Daishan belonged to noble families.After discovering this, Jia Hu's joyful heart calmed down a little. Regardless of any dynasty, the king always pursues the centralization of imperial power. No sober emperor would allow his subordinates to threaten his own monarchy.Rongguo Mansion is now too close to these distinguished families.A little child is full moon, and all these honorable families have sent people here, which shows that they were very close in the past.Such a relationship, sooner or later, will be suspected by the king.But today's nobles, said to be aristocratic families, are actually just products of the imperial power, and they have no strength and ability to fight against the imperial power... Jia Hu suddenly remembered that although Jia Min's fiancé had also been a nobleman in his ancestors, he went to the throne early. After taking the imperial examination, up to now, he is also a scholarly family, and Lin Ruhai is even a serious scholar. When talking in high school, he can't help but look at Jia Daishan in a complicated way. It seems that he also realizes that if the Rongguo Mansion quickly develops new contacts, it may be difficult in the future. Oh no.This also explains why it is impossible for Lin Ruhai to have a title. Jia's mother wholeheartedly objected and disliked it, but Jia Daishan still made this marriage for Jia Min, the only daughter of the Duke's Mansion.From this point of view, Jia Daishan is not as stupid as he imagined—of course, considering his obvious preference for his children, even if he is shrewd, he has no vision.

After talking for a while, since they are all juniors, Jia Daishan said that he was a little tired and had to go back first.As an old man of the state, he was able to come out and chat with these family friends for so long, which is already giving them face. In addition, everyone knew that Fang was recovering from a serious illness, so they all politely told Jia Daishan to go to rest quickly.When Jia Daishan was leaving, he motioned for Jia Hu and Mother Zhao to follow, and asked Jia Hu on the way, "I heard that you are not unhappy because you are sick and can't play?" In his words, he was not very happy, "In the past, you were greedy. It's all for playing, after all, you are young, but now that you have been injured and suffered a loss, and caused your mother to give birth prematurely, causing such a big disaster, do you still want to play?"

Jia Hu secretly scolded whether it was Mother Jia or Mrs. Wang who was gossiping over there, and said, "Grandfather said yes, grandson knew it was wrong. Last time my father already had grandson, and he blamed grandson for being so young at such a young age. Such a catastrophe happened at home, and it was almost his own death that also killed his mother and younger brother. The grandfather and grandson knew that they were wrong, and they will never dare to be naughty again. They will definitely take good care of their younger brother, study hard, and never go with their sister. I climbed a rockery~~" As he spoke, his eyes were all red.

Jia Daishan's eyes flickered: "Sister took you to climb the rockery?" Didn't Jia Hu fall because of his fun and dumped the girls around him to climb the rockery?

Jia Hu burst into tears suddenly: "Grandpa, don't be angry, don't want me anymore, I will be obedient and study hard in the future...Really, I recited the Thousand-Character Classic and the Three-Character Classic when I was recuperating, and the rhythm was enlightened." I also finished reading... I, I will definitely study hard and be obedient in the future, don't want me, don't drive me out like Sister Mujin Mulan... Woo, grandfather..."

Magnolia hibiscus?Jia Daishan was shocked. Didn't the wife say that the child was playing?Why is there still something about the girl?But looking at Jia Hu who was crying out of shape, it was difficult to reprimand him, so he could only hold his breath and said, "Okay, man, why are you in such a child's shape!" After a pause, he suddenly realized the little girl in front of him Aren't people just 'children'?The tone couldn't help but soften a little, "Don't cry, you know you made a mistake, you just need to change it later, grandpa won't blame you."

Jia Hu looked at him sobbing: "Really? Grandfather really won't blame me? But I heard sister Juan'er tell sister Zhuyu that if she made a mistake, she would be kicked out of the house and not allowed to come back again. Yes. I did something wrong earlier, will my grandfather really not drive me away? I don’t want to leave my parents, and I don’t want to leave my grandparents~~”

Tong Yan Tongyu's childish words made Jia Daishan feel much better. He patted Jia Hu's head with a smile, and said, "That's a servant who made a mistake. You are a good grandson of grandfather, so it is naturally different. How could grandfather Drive you away?"

Jia Hu smiled innocently: "Thank you grandfather, I will definitely be obedient in the future."

Thinking of Jia Hu's generous response to the guests just now, Jia Daishan had a rare liking for this eldest grandson who was always quite dissatisfied, and said with a smile: "You said you would be punished by the thousand-character essay, and you started to read the rhythm of the voice." Enlightened?"

Jia Hu nodded his head, blinked his big eyes and looked at Jia Daishan: "Yes~ my father said that although I am lying on the bed recuperating from my injuries, I can also use my time to let my mother teach me thousand-character prose and reading~ I already know a lot Oh, I’ve written it~~” He looked a little complacent.

Jia Daishan became interested: "Really? Don't lie to grandpa."

Jia Hu was in a hurry: "I didn't lie to my grandfather. My father said that you can't lie to your closest relatives. Grandfather, grandmother, father, mother, uncle, aunt, aunt, younger brother... are all my closest relatives, so I don't want to lie." He can tell lies. Grandfather doesn’t believe me, so I’ll recite it to you.” Langlang immediately recited the thousand-character prose. "The heaven and the earth are mysterious and yellow, the universe is prehistoric, the sun and the moon are full, and the celestial constellations are listed..." But there is really no stumbling, and it is extremely fluent.

Jia Daishan was really shocked this time, his eldest grandson was like his father, he never made progress in his studies, he and Jia Zhu were learning the thousand-character prose a few days ago, Jia Hu was still far behind, but now..."You Say you watched Enlightenment of Rhythm? Tell your grandfather, what have you learned?"

Jia Hu became even happier, and began to memorize excitedly: "Clouds are against rain, snow is against wind, evening photos are against clear sky. Laihong is against swallows, old birds are against songworms. Three-foot swords, six-jun bows, Lingbei Jiangdong..." Back and forth, I actually recited a lot of chapters, and Jia Hu was afraid that it would arouse suspicion, so she pretended not to remember and stopped.

Even so, Jia Daishan was already very pleasantly surprised: "Although there is still a little difference, after all, he has improved." He also instructed, "Don't be proud, and you have to study hard in the future."

Jia Hu only acted out the excitement that a child who has not loved for a long time is suddenly praised, and firmly agreed like an oath: "Yes, grandfather! I will definitely study hard."

Although Jia Daishan may have only worked in the past few years, there is still a period of time after all. Jia Hu does not want to be suppressed by the second room, so it is very necessary to show his excellence in a moderate way, even if it is only for a while. It can't match Erfang's position in Jia Daishan's heart, and at least it can't make everyone in the house form the concept that 'Jia Amnesty is not as good as Jia Zheng, and even his son Jia Hu is not as good as Jia Zheng's son Jia Zhu'!Since Jia Daishan wanted so much to produce a scholar in his family, Jia Hu naturally wanted to show his talent in reading—looking at it now, the effect is very good, isn't it?

"Master, the wives over there said they wanted to see Brother Lian and Brother Hu, and the wife sent someone over. Look, Master..." A woman said something to Lai Da, and Lai Da walked over to report.

Jia Daishan waved his hand and asked the woman to take Jia Hu and Zhao's mother Jia Lian to the past: "The road is dark, send a few more girls and women, light more candles, and be careful where you step."

Lai Da was a little surprised and looked at Jia Daishan. The master never paid attention to these details before, but he didn't show it. He just lowered his head and took Jia Hu to find his mother Jia Lian to wait out, and then carefully instructed those girls. Mother-in-law, just turn back to Jia Daishan again.

Sure enough, Jia Daishan no longer had the relaxed and happy look he had when Jia Hu was there. Seeing him, he said coldly, "Go and find out how Hu'er fell off the rockery, and what happened to the two girls named Mujin and Mulan?" What?!" His eyes sharpened, "You dare to lie to me..."

Lai Da's forehead was dripping with cold sweat: "I don't dare~"

"Huh!" That's the best!
