Aristocratic family's career in the Red Chamber

Xu Wei sat on the chair, with an unconcealable heaviness on his face, clasped his hands, instead of frowning, looked at Jia Hu, and sighed for the invisible.

Jia Hu could easily read the embarrassment and unhappiness in his heart.

Liu Yan Zeng Sa had an errand today and couldn't get away. The only ones present were the two brothers Xu Jiang and Xu Tao. Facing his biological father, he naturally felt more relaxed. Seeing that Xu Wei had been silent for a long time and couldn't sit still, he hurriedly asked: " Father, you called us here in such a hurry? But what's the matter?"

Xu Wei glanced at Jia Hu first, feeling a bit regretful and unwilling, and turned his head to look at Xu Tao who was speaking with a sullen face: "I called Hu'er, why did I call you here? Hu'er is still sitting still Now, you just can’t help it, how can you be so impatient, how will you be able to take on a big job in the future!” The anger was quite high.

Facing such Xu Wei, who was quite different from the image of an elegant and elegant scholar in ordinary times, Xu Tao and Jia Hu were stunned for a while, Xu Tao smirked a few words, then looked back at Jia Hu worriedly.

Jia Hu herself had some clues.Xu Wei was so eager to talk to him today, and he looked like he didn't know how to speak. Even Xu Tao was reprimanded for interrupting. I am afraid that what he is about to say is related to him. Not only is it related, but it is not a good thing.Even, the cause of this matter is inseparable from Xu Wei.

Jia Hu was thinking, when he suddenly felt someone was looking at him, when he raised his head, Xu Jiang and Xu Tao looked worried, worried for him.Jia Hu laughed, the Xu family had worked hard for him, and devoted themselves to helping him. Mrs. Xu helped the Zhang family to build momentum, and brought her to meet many wives from the scholarly family, and opened a place that the Zhang family had never set foot in before. social circle.Xu Weiming helped Jia She secretly. Now Jia She has found a goal that he can strive for in life and gain honor and respect. He is participating in the research and forgetting to eat and sleep. , he was bored at home, drinking and listening to operas, reading gossip books, occasionally going out to drink with others, and looking for a little lady to have fun.Not to mention that on weekdays, Xu Wei bothered to teach him his studies, respecting his teachers, and focusing on these things. What's the point of being dragged into the circle of right and wrong by Xu Wei?

Indicating with his eyes that Brother Xu Jiang was not concerned, Jia Hu looked at Xu Wei and said, "Master, has something bothering you? Why don't you tell us? Although I am still young, I have been with Master for more than half a year after all, maybe There may be some other ideas." Seeing that Xu Wei was still hesitant to speak, Jia Hu only said, "Since the master asked me today, didn't he just want to tell me about this matter? The master made such a move, it must be It can no longer be changed, since this is the case, the apprentice will know sooner or later, why not master tell me as soon as possible, so that I can be prepared in my heart?"

The more sensible Jia Hu behaved, the more uncomfortable and flustered Xu Wei felt. He had a strong heart, not to mention the relationship between Jia Hu and him. Shan Zhi these days Jia Hu followed him to study. He really loved this intelligent and polite child. She tried her best to make this child live well, but who would have thought that in the end, it was because of him that this child was harmed.

Xu Wei's figure bent down in an instant, as if his back was bent by something, he looked at Jia Hu complicatedly for a long time, and then said bitterly: "Today, the court will discuss matters. After the matter is over, the emperor suddenly asked me about you."

Xu Tao and Jia Hu were inexplicable: "Why would the emperor ask you this suddenly?" But it has never been heard that there is a matter of meddling in caring about other disciples today.

Only Zuo Jiang changed his face, thinking of the news about the harem that he had heard recently, and wondered, could it be that Jia Hu was going to be a companion?Thinking about it again, I felt wrong, Jia Hu is not very old, he is still three months away from six years old, at this age, no matter how you look at it, he can't be included in the list of companions.Even though he was thinking this way, he couldn't find the reason why Jinshang asked Jia Hu, so he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

The next moment, I heard Xu Wei say: "Of course the emperor didn't ask Hu'er for no reason." After a pause, he sighed, "It's all my fault for hurting you."

The uneasiness in Xu Jiang's heart became more and more intense, and he asked in surprise: "Could it be that Brother Hu was really chosen for the matter of choosing a companion in the palace?"

Xu Tao and Jia Hu looked at each other, did not understand?To read this kind of thing, Jia Hu is too young, right?

Xu Wei looked at his second son with a wry smile: "You also heard the news?" But he indirectly admitted Zuo Jiang's guess.

Now everyone's face changed.Xu Tao was even more anxious: "Brother Hu is so young, what can he do? Are the people in the palace confused, why did they choose him?"

Zuo Jiang gave him a hard look: "Do you dare to say such a thing?" But he also asked Xu Wei in a puzzled way, "Father, what's going on? Logically speaking, Brother Hu shouldn't be the one to choose. .How old is he?"

Xu Wei closed his eyes, and the curve of the corner of his mouth became more and more difficult.When Jia Hu saw it, he smiled and said, "It's not a big deal even if you are a real companion, isn't it just going to the palace to accompany the prince to study? The master also occasionally goes to the palace to give lectures to the prince. I can also get advice from other great scholars for nothing. What's wrong?"

Xu Tao almost jumped up, and said anxiously to Jia Hu: "Brother Hu, you can't think so, if being a companion is such a good job, the rich and powerful people in Beijing will send their children to the palace sooner rather than later." Is it in? Read with you, this companion is placed before the words! What is read with you? It means to read with the prince. When you are together, you have to put the prince first, follow him closely, and follow the rules of the emperor and his ministers .If the prince has a problem with his studies, who would be the unlucky prince and grandson? Could it be that the accompanying student suffers? The rules in the study room, the prince makes mistakes, and the accompanying student will be punished! Not to mention the complicated affairs in this palace, who If you know where you don’t pay attention, you will be tricked, and there is a lot of bad things that you can’t hide from..."

What Xu Tao was talking about was eloquent, Xu Wei's face became more and more gloomy, and Jia Hu only wished for a rag in his hand so that he could stuff it into his stinky mouth.Su Xing Jiang noticed Xu Wei's unusual reaction, stepped on Xu Tao's instep hard, gritted his teeth and said, "You are so rambling, do you want to finish?"

Xu Tao was a little aggrieved: "Second brother, why are you losing your temper with me? I'm explaining this to Brother Hu, lest he really think this is a fat job."

Zuo Jiang really doubted, how could he and his elder brother have such a younger brother?There are still people who write about human appearance outside, but they are in private... "Shut up!" Xu Tao was not convinced, he poked his neck and continued to say, but Zuo Jiang was too lazy to talk to him, turned his head, and asked Xu Wei: "Father, Brother Hu, have you really been selected as a companion?"

Xu Wei nodded heavily and did not speak.Xu Jiang and Xu Tao gasped, but Jia Hu didn't show it, but his heart was twisted, and he went to the palace to accompany the prince to study, who the hell is hurting him!

Stopping the excited Xu Tao, Zu Jiang asked with difficulty: "There are two princes entering the palace this time, who is Brother Hu going to study with?"

The three pairs of eyes fixedly looked at Xu Wei, Xu Wei opened his eyes, looked at Jia Hu guiltily, remained silent for a long time, and said in a hoarse voice, "It's the Fourth Prince!"

Everyone's hearts sank.Four princes!Although they didn't dare to know everything about the affairs of the court, the emperor's heirs still knew a little bit about it. Although the fourth prince was a second-rank mother and concubine, he was not favored.Over the years, people only heard people exaggerate that the prince is calm, the second prince is smart, the third prince is smart, the fifth prince is lively, the sixth prince is cute, and the remaining fourth prince is mediocre, and his disappearance can be seen by everyone.

"Why, that's the fourth prince!" Shocked, Xu Tao took a while to regain his sanity, and immediately screamed, "Didn't the emperor feel flat towards the fourth prince, why did he suddenly decide to let Brother Hu give it to the fourth prince?" The prince as a companion?!"

Xu Wei felt like a knife was being cut in his heart, and he only said one sentence: "I heard that the empress wanted Brother Hu to follow the third prince, but Concubine Shu said something to the emperor, and the emperor pointed out that brother Hu was given to the fourth prince." ..."

Zujiang Jiahu's complexion changed drastically, Concubine Shu, did this cut off the queen's beard?Zui Jiang glanced at Jia Hu, and the guilt in his eyes could not be concealed. He is from the Xu family, so he naturally knows the conflict between Xu Wei and the second master of the Xia family better than others. Concubine Shu is the daughter of the Xia family. Jia Hu is Xu Wei's close disciple!The queen was slapped severely by Concubine Shu. She couldn't repay Concubine Shu for this humiliation in a short period of time. Maybe she would have a good face towards Jia Hu? !Jia Hu went into the palace, I'm afraid...

Jia Hu is no stranger to this kind of dispute, how can he not understand that he has fallen into a big pit.Looking at the reactions of Xu Wei and Zu Jiang, I'm afraid that Concubine Shu is deliberately targeting him, and the reason for this is the Xu family!After thinking for a while, Jia Hu only showed a smile, and said: "The fourth prince is the fourth prince, it's not a big deal. Although I am young, I am the eldest grandson of the Rongguo Mansion, so I entered the upper study. The prince’s studies are not good, could it be that the master in the palace can really beat me to death? I act cautiously, that’s all.” Suddenly he raised his voice and laughed: “Could it be that the master and senior brother think that I am incompetent, and I can’t even do things carefully. Not anymore?"

The more sensible Jia Hu was, the more uncomfortable Xu Wei felt. Such a good child, but because of him, fell into the nest of right and wrong for nothing, and he didn't know how much wronged he would suffer.Xu Wei had a bright and upright personality, so he immediately turned serious and said to Jia Hu: "Brother Hu, this palace is not a place where you can be safe if you are careful. Your intelligence is amazing, but it is not enough to overcome the difficulties of people." The four-character test. And this time Concubine Shu pointed you to the four princes as companions to the emperor, which can be said to have swept away the queen's face. Although Concubine Chen is a concubine with a high status, her natal family is attached to the Xia family. My family and I..." Xu Wei showed a wry smile, "Not long ago, I wiped the face of the second master of the Xia family in the court, I'm afraid the Xia family hated me to the core. You don't enter the palace just to face other people's troubles , even if it is the Fourth Prince, Concubine Chen, it may not necessarily be your reliance."

The situation is serious!

Jia Hu's thoughts circled in her mind for a few times, but she still laughed and said, "So what? Master, why bother to only look at these negative things? Even the empress and concubine Shu are dissatisfied, but this scoundrel is entering the palace. Well, it’s still decent to study with the princes, to get in touch with several princes, and to study with them every day, which is also decent. If this news is sent back to the mansion, I am afraid that the value of the disciple will rise immediately."

Xu Wei and the others nodded when they thought of the Rongguo Mansion. Given the temperament of the Jia family, this is not impossible.

Jia Hu laughed lowly: "Although I don't want to say that, Master, don't forget that my grandfather is still alive. I'm younger than the fourth prince, and I'm the eldest son of my father. Everyone in the palace must pay me back. Have to look at my grandfather's face."

Xu Wei suddenly came back to his senses, no, he had always thought that Jia Hu would be wronged because of him, and would be targeted by Concubine Shu, but he forgot that behind him, his family was not the only one.Jia Daishan of the Rongguo Mansion is a veteran of the two dynasties, the leader of the Eight Dukes of the Four Kingdoms, and he has an indomitable friendship with other nobles. With such a force, unless these people are crazy, they will not easily offend them.Jia Hu went here, although he would suffer some grievances, but he expected to be safe.

It's just that I still can't make it through, and my heart feels tight.Such a smart little kid, God knows what methods those people will use to make things difficult for him?

Xu Jiang and Xu Tao also thought of this, and seeing Jia Hu's smiling face made him feel even more guilty about this junior.I used to suffer at home, but when I came to the Xu family, I still had to bear the grudges of the Xu family, and now I still force myself to laugh and comfort them, how can they have the face to see the Zhang family and Jia Amnesty again?

Jia Hu knew they couldn't think about it, so he could only say: "The Sacred Heart has been made, the emperor has made a decision, how can we change it? Master and brother don't have to worry about it anymore, the matter is a foregone conclusion, shouldn't we move forward?! I If you are confident, you will not be bullied and become a master."

Xu Wei narrowed his eyes: "It doesn't matter what my name is. If you want to enter the palace, you don't care about anything around you. Just act carefully, don't mess with others, and just keep yourself safe."

Jia Hu responded with a playful smile: "I'm fine, what are you doing in a conflict with someone? I cherish my life, but I don't dare to take my life to joke in the palace."

Xu Wei snorted: "Don't you dare? Pretend to be gentle and polite, and you pretend that I don't know your temper? If someone touches your reverse scales, you will care about what occasion and who you meet? It's just With the face of a scholar, people will think that you are just a gentleman, but in your bones, you still have the violent temper of a general of the Jia family."

Jia Hu just nodded, expressing that he had accepted the lesson, and didn't say anything else. He admired Xu Wei's way of looking at people.But he has such a temper.Although the appearance of being refined in reading, in his bones, he is still the son of the Yang family who longs to rely on the sword in his hand and the wisdom in his mind in troubled times.None of his Yang family is a really gentle scholar.

I just don't know how Xu Wei saw it?Is it his calculating attitude towards Jia Daishan and Jia Zheng?Or is it the majesty he showed when he was doing things a few times?

It seems that we have to be more careful in the future.

After this conversation, Xu Wei felt a little relieved. He really cared, but he was confused. With Jia Hu's wisdom and closeness to monsters, even if he suffered, the person who did it would not be happy.That's all, now the matter is a foregone conclusion, and there is no way to recover.Let's take a step and look at it first, then think about it, what excuses can we find in the future, let's get Brother Hu out!

The Xu family's father and son were worried, but Jia Hu suddenly showed embarrassment, and said to Xu Wei: "Master, I have something to ask for your help! Please don't tell my parents about this matter."

Xu Wei and Jiang Xu Tao's eyes darkened, Xu Wei pulled the corner of his mouth: "Since you have this heart, I promise you!" But he made up his mind, from now on Jia Hu's business is the Xu family's business!

Five days later, the decree officially came down to Rongguo Mansion, not to mention how uncomfortable Jia Zheng, who had been bored in Rongguo Mansion for a long time and never went out to socialize, how much Mrs. Wang said with her arms around Jia Zhu, how ecstatic Jia Shezhang was The joy on Jia Daishan's face, who led the crowd to thank him, was in stark contrast to the unwillingness in Jia's mother's eyes.

Jia Hu looked at the imperial decree with the black dragon pattern, and slightly lowered his eyes. What he was about to face would be a bloodless war.

It's a last resort to be caught in the trap, but they can't take it for granted who will have the last laugh! !
