Aristocratic family's career in the Red Chamber

Compared with most of the male guests who are of the same generation as Jia She, the number of female guests is more important. Except for the Shi family's old Gaoming who is sick, the Liuguo government only sent the wife of the state, Mrs. Fang. However, the other five houses were personally visited by the old lady who led the daughter-in-law, and there were also a few old ladies from the Hou Mansion—the room was full of jewels and jewels, making people dizzy.

Mrs. Jia sat with a group of old ladies, while Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Wang were surrounded by younger wives. It seemed like two circles, but after all, the old ladies were the first. When Jia Hu walked in, one of them was slightly older than Zhang The younger beautiful woman pulled a shy young woman who was only sixteen or seventeen years old and laughed loudly: "... In the past, my wives and aunts praised me for being smart, so I just thought I was really smart, and waited until I saw it." My good brother and sister came in, and I was dumbfounded. The wives also praised me that day, and I thought it was pretty good. Why is it that compared with my brother and sister today, I am inferior in everything? But Cool down my heart."

She clutched her chest and sighed, with a dejected look, which amused a group of old ladies and wives. The old lady sitting on the left of Jia Mu laughed and pointed at her and scolded: "Pooh you!" You are a monkey, you used to have such a lawless temperament, you have a thick skin, why are you still making fun of your younger siblings? Look, you are ashamed of your younger siblings."

When everyone went to see the young woman, didn't their faces look like clouds and they couldn't help being ashamed?Immediately there was another burst of good-natured laughter.The beautiful woman pursed her lips: "What did Madam say, I have a thin skin." She stood beside Jia Mu and dragged her to make a gesture of disobedience: "Madam used to love me, but today is good or bad. Be the master for me, look at my wife, she really has new people and forgets the old ones, and when she has younger siblings, she just throws the old one away~"

Mother Jia smiled happily, took her hand, and said, "Okay, okay, I'll make the decision for you." Looking back at the old lady, she said seriously, "Old sister is wrong, Brother Yu's daughter-in-law is a monkey. You are a great sage equal to heaven, look at this little aggrieved appearance, can't you escape the palm of your Buddha? You don't like her anymore, so you punish her for talking funny in front of you, and throw it on the back of your head , but it was a waste of her talent~"

Everyone laughed again, the old lady nodded and laughed repeatedly: "My sister reminded me, yes yes yes, we can't waste her talent!" The laughter became even louder.

Brother Yu's daughter-in-law stomped her feet angrily, let go of Jiamu's arm, and said angrily, "You all bully me~" She laughed again, "Come on, let's be a monkey, if you can coax your wife Aunts laugh, I would be happy even to be a monkey~~ Even the Monkey King, it’s a beautiful word, I’m not at a disadvantage.” The crowd almost laughed out loud, but it just so happened that they were hugging outside at this time. The people from the show came to shout, saying that the next one would be "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace". Everyone was stunned for a moment, and the subsequent laughter almost knocked the house down. Several younger ladies and daughters-in-law even yelled pain.

Mother Jia called the young woman over, looked at the old lady for a while, and finally looked at the old lady, and said she was very lucky: "Brother Jin's daughter-in-law has only been here for two months? Hey, old sister is really good at treating people. I I almost didn't recognize it, and it's more beautiful than it was two months ago. And Brother Yu's daughter-in-law, you are so lucky to have such two smart daughters-in-law, old sister~"

The old lady looked at the two daughters-in-law lovingly, and said with a smile: "Your luck is not bad. Which of the two daughter-in-laws is not the best? I have given you a new grandson, what's wrong with you?" He turned to another old lady and said, "Congratulations to the old lady, she has a grandson."

Only then did Jia Hu realize that his grandmother had also come in person.Seeing that she was accompanied by a beautiful, gentle and beautiful woman, she guessed that she might be his eldest aunt, and then heard his grandmother, Mrs. Zhang, laughing at the other lady, and said, "Mrs. Hou , I’m afraid your family will have to import another baby? I heard that Brother Jiang’s daughter-in-law is pregnant again?”

Mrs. Hou couldn't hide the smile on her face, she cast a glance at her, and said with a smile, "Your news is very good."

Everyone rushed forward to congratulate, but the old lady Zhang looked at the old lady again and said: "Your daughter is going to give you a grandson again, why do you envy me? Who doesn't know that your two eldest grandsons are clever and cute, Brother Jin's daughter-in-law has also entered the door now, I'm afraid you will have a grandson in the next year, if you want to say, I still envy you." Looking back at everyone, "I said this old sister is not kind, there is a happy event at home Picking up one thing, but still talking about it with us, pointing at us to congratulate her? Anyway, I don’t agree, so I must punish her to have a good drink, what do you say?”

"It must be like this!" Everyone agreed.It was a banquet, but there really was a girl who brought light sweet fruit wine, and filled a small cup. This time, without Mrs. Zhang's words, others would not agree, "This is not possible, such a small Wine glasses, at least three glasses will do."

The youngest son married a well-born daughter-in-law, and her daughter was pregnant again. Mrs. Niu was really happy in her heart, and she didn't refuse immediately. So, I didn’t fool you, did I? Don’t think that I’m not as good as I used to be when I’m getting older. My drinking capacity is not bad.”

Some old ladies who were acquainted with her laughed loudly: "It's good, it's good, we all drank tea at the flower viewing banquet together, but you like to drink, and you said that you are the best of the general family!" Daughter, I just like drinking and eating meat like this, and I don’t like to imitate the scholarly style of Lao Shizi." The young daughters-in-law glanced at Mrs. Niu who was dignified and noble, but they never expected that she would say these words, and they were shocked for a moment. Laughing, Brother Yu's daughter-in-law was so surprised that she asked Mrs. Niu again and again, did this really happen?

Mrs. Niu didn't refute, raised her eyebrows, and admitted neatly: "I'm just a rough person. It's okay to eat meat, but it's okay to drink alcohol. Since I'm getting older, I prefer to drink small wine. Blood circulation... What can I do? If you want to blame, you can only blame my parents. They didn't give me a gentle and quiet scholarly temperament, but they are just a rough person who doesn't understand sentiment~"

"Rough people?" All the old ladies laughed, "If you are still rough, we won't even have a place to stand, and we'll all be ashamed."

What a joy, taking advantage of the atmosphere, Mother Chen asked Mother Zhao to take Jia Lian there, while she led Jia Hu to Zhang's place.Jia Lian is the main character today, and she is white, fat and cute. Which of the wives present doesn't like cute children, even if you hug me for a while, you won't want to let go.

Mrs. Niu and Mrs. Jia are obviously very close, and they speak straightforwardly while holding the child, praising: "He looks good, and when he grows up, I don't know how many daughters he will be fascinated by. Looking at it is full of energy, She is also healthy, but I heard she was born prematurely? If I hadn’t known about it first, I wouldn’t have noticed it at all.”

This is the grandson of his own grandson. Mrs. Zhang used to love Mrs. Zhang. When Mrs. Zhang had Jia Hu, she would send someone to see him off every day. She cared about Mrs. Zhang's well-being. Jia Hu loves him like a grandson, but if he gets something good, Jia Hu will never be left behind.However, Zhang's second child happened to catch up with Jingyuan Hou, who was in poor health, and then the eldest son, Xijue... The family was in a mess, and they were anxiously dealing with family troubles. Hearing that Mrs. Zhang had dystocia, Mrs. Zhang passed out on the spot, and she recuperated for half a month before she finished. She was just worried about her illness. It was not good to see Mrs. Zhang who was still in confinement. I can't sleep because Jia Lian is full moon today, so I came early, and I was a little relieved when I saw with my own eyes that although Mrs. Zhang was haggard, she was still in good spirits.Seeing Jia Lian looking healthy and cute now, the big stone in his heart was finally let go.Taking the child from Mrs. Niu, and touching his little face, Jia Lian is also well-behaved, no matter how she touches her, she will not cry, with big black eyes open, and a small pink mouth that is buzzing, so cute, The old lady Zhang loved her daughter very much, but seeing her grandson like this, she didn't love her so much, she said to her daughter-in-law Lin, "The eyebrows look like a uncle, but the mouth is delicate, carved out of his mother's appearance. "

He is always his own grandson, and Mother Jia still felt a bit of pain. She immediately laughed and said, "Don't you look like the boss? Don't talk about his appearance. I hugged him a few times, and I didn't pay attention to it, which made him feel uncomfortable. He started to cry and howl." , the rascal's little appearance, it's exactly the same as his father's when he was a child!"

Zhang's eyes flickered, and the smile on the corners of his mouth gradually disappeared, but Mrs. Niu and others said it was a good thing: "The child cries loudly, which means he is in good health. It's rare that he is not full-term but still so healthy, but It could not be better."

On the contrary, the former Yu brother and daughter-in-law, seeing all the wives and old ladies talking around the child, turned their eyes around Jia Lian and Jia Hu, and laughed loudly: "Is this brother Lian like Uncle Jia?" I don’t know, but he looks exactly like one of our people.”

Everyone laughed and asked who it was. Brother Yu's daughter-in-law pretended to be mysterious, but Naqiao refused to say, insisting that everyone do her some favors, and plausibly said: "Women's hairs are thicker than my waist. I give this to my wife." Now that you have solved your confusion, can you accept some benefits?"

Mrs. Pian Ma also has a lively temper, and she really agreed: "If you can really find someone who looks like a real person, I can't do without you here."

Everyone was also curious, the child's father and mother were normal, but seeing that Jia Lian didn't look much like the Zhang family, Brother Yu's daughter-in-law said that she wasn't Jia She, so who else looked like Jia Lian?With Mrs. Ma at the beginning, one by one promised that she would be indispensable, and made Brother Yu and his daughter-in-law even more proud, pulling Jia Hu away from Mrs. Zhang and pushing them in front of everyone: "Look, isn't this Carved out the same mold as my brother?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and when they came back to their senses, Qi Qi said that brother Yu's daughter-in-law was cunning, and blamed himself for forgetting Jia Hu, his real brother, for a while: "You have gained many benefits for nothing."

Brother Yu's daughter-in-law raised her bright and lively face proudly, and said with a smile: "You didn't think of this, how can you blame me? Anyway, no matter what, this gift must be missed."

Mrs. Ma spat at her: "How can I be without you?" She greeted Jia Hu affectionately, "Brother Hu is almost four years old, right? He really is getting bigger and more handsome, like his mother, delicate."

Mrs. Niu came over to look at it, and nodded in agreement: "It's not that it's clean and elegant, and people like it when they look at it. It's not like the two boys in my family. They have thick eyebrows and thick eyes. They are mischievous at first glance." The two grandsons of Mrs. Niu's family are the direct descendants of Brother Yu's daughter-in-law. Because they are the eldest grandsons and their parents are of high status, they are very loved in the house. Brother Yu's daughter-in-law felt sorry for them, even if they got into trouble, they would only say a few words, which made them even more angry.

Mrs. Ma and the others also knew this, so they didn't answer the conversation. Who knows if they said it didn't matter on the surface at this moment, but would they have a pimple in their hearts?Then he walked away laughing, and said: "It's better to be lively when you are young, and you will know how to be calm when you are older." While still grabbing Jia Hu, he asked, "What do you like at home? Are you happy to have a younger brother?"

Jia Hu knows these wives best, she is used to seeing all kinds of children, good looks are not enough, she has to be able to talk and be funny, in order to be liked by them. Ye Guang, they liked it, and when they talked about it with their friends later, the child's reputation for being smart and clever came out, and they smiled and replied obediently: "I like my brother, he is so cute. When he grows up, I will teach him to read." , filial piety to parents and elders."

The answer was different from that of ordinary children, and it was very decent.Mrs. Ma asked casually, but now she was really interested: "Brother Hu is only three years old, so you already know how to be filial to your parents and elders?"

Jia Hu nodded firmly, and said solemnly: "Body and skin, the parents don't dare to hurt them. This is the beginning of filial piety. To stand up and walk the road, to make your name known to future generations, to show your parents, this is the end of filial piety. I want to take good care of myself and grow up healthy. , don’t let my parents worry, study hard, take the imperial examination in the future, and make my elders proud of me, this is filial piety!”

Now everyone was shocked, all the wives present in the "Book of Filial Piety" understood that Jia Hu had read the book at a young age and could still use it, and even had his own opinions, which were simple but not easy up.Mrs. Yin, the Duke of Qi’s wife, was a well-known talented woman before she got married. She loved children who were smart and able to read. In the past, Jia’s mother only said that she had a grandson named Jia Zhu, who showed his talent in reading at a young age. Mother Jia is exaggerating, but she doesn't think that the eldest grandson she never mentioned is so smart. Could it be that Jia Zhu is really a little prodigy who can write at the age of three?I turned my mind around a few times, and only praised Jia Hu on the face: "It's rare to have such a determination at such a young age, but it's not easy to take the imperial examination. You will have to study a lot in the future. Can Brother Hu persevere?"

Jia Hu answered nonchalantly: "Yes!" Counting with his fingers, "I already know the thousand-character prose, hundreds of surnames, and enlightened rhythm. Soon I will learn the Book of Songs, Tang poetry, and the Analects of Confucius in the future... I like reading, and I will definitely pass the imperial examination!"

Mrs. Yin was surprised: "Brother Hu knows a thousand characters, a hundred surnames, and enlightened rhythm?" She looked at Jia Mu with a half-smile, "Brother Hu, is it true? It's all about a hundred surnames. You can still know it through daily contact, but the enlightenment of the rhythm of the thousand-character prose is not easy to learn, brother Hu, can you say you know it after reading it once?" This is suspicious of Jia Hu's lying.

Mrs. Zhang gritted her teeth angrily when she saw her son being underestimated. Mother Jia was also unhappy. She and Mrs. Yin were not close when they were young. , the two fought secretly, and now she is accused of lying by her grandson, how can she feel happy, and she is also somewhat dissatisfied with Jia Hu, Jia Zhu is a thousand-character prose, and he can learn better than Jia Zhu more?Immediately lowering his face, he said sternly: "Brother Hu, you can read so many books, why hasn't anyone come back to me?" She pretended to excuse herself, saying that Jia Hu's boasting of herself like this was none of her business, but she was Unaware - the faces of Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Lin immediately turned cloudy.

But Jia Hu didn't realize it, and still smiled innocently and cutely, and replied: "I was bored in the room, and my mother Chen taught me to read. The thousand-character prose is easy to enlighten, and my grandson learned it as soon as he learned it. I told my grandfather, but I haven't had time to tell my grandmother, so please don't be angry, grandma."

Hearing that Jia Daishan had inspected it, everyone was in an uproar, and all of them dismissed their doubts. Yin Shi had nothing to say, but Jia's mother was a little embarrassed. Now, seeing you in the room and worrying about suffocating you, I don't want you to know that it's time to study hard, which is very good." But no matter how I listen to these words, it makes people feel uncomfortable.

Jia Hu smiled, clapped her hands and looked at Jia Mu: "Madam likes to listen to the recitation, but I don't know how to recite at first, this time, I will be listened to by you with Brother Zhu, okay?"

Mother Jia was stunned for a moment, and raised her eyes to look at Mrs. Gaoming who was present, but there was no objection. After thinking about it again, because today was Jia Lian's full moon, and Jia Hu's injury was unclear at the time, she couldn't bring Jia Zhu out. At this moment, Jia Hu himself proposed to endorse with Jia Zhu, but it was a great opportunity for Jia Zhu to show his face. Immediately, he looked at Jia Hu with more sincere and kind eyes, and smiled gently: "It's rare that you have such a heart." Send Lai everyone to bring Jia Zhu.Sitting on the side, Mrs. Wang smiled, but it was in stark contrast to the reluctance on Mrs. Zhang's face.

At that moment, Jia Zhu came in wearing a gold-sprinkled red coat, and stood up with Jia Hu. The two golden children recited in unison in sweet voices: "The world is dark and yellow, and the universe is vast..." It is really pleasing to the eye.

Mother Jia was quite proud, she pulled Mrs. Niu and said, "At the beginning, I just mentioned that I like to listen to children's memorization, but I don't want Brother Hu to memorize it."

Seeing that the two children were young, but they could memorize books fluently, Mrs. Niu was also a little envious, and said, "You are so lucky to know how to be filial to you at such a young age."

Before Jia Mu could be happy, there was a pause of reciting, and suddenly only Jia Hu was left to recite: "The two husbands saw the opportunity to get rid of the group, who forced them to live in silence and solitude, seeking Gu Xun's discussion, relaxation and carefree..." Looking back Looking at it, I saw Jia Zhu standing there at a loss, twisting the corners of her clothes with her little hands, her face flushed red, stuttering, looking around with tears in her eyes, aggrieved, but unable to recite anymore...
