Official You's Family in the Red Chamber

You Wende and Li Shi inquired about many families, and finally found that Ning'an Hou's Mansion was the most suitable one. While still calling for inquiries, You Wende waited for Jia Jing and his son to come to the door. If Jia Zhen was okay, the marriage would be fine. It was decided that if it didn't work, Jia Jing would not be able to do it even if he said that he would break the sky, and his pampered daughter could not fall into the wolf's den.

Not to mention You's family, Jia Zhen in Ning'an Hou's mansion is also worried. He has lost his wife for almost a year. More than a month ago, his father came back from visiting friends and specially asked him to read more recently, saying that it will be a while Leading him out, he heard from his mother that it was for his remarriage. He heard that she was the daughter of his father's friend and the eldest daughter of a fourth-rank official. I haven't made up my mind, I'll talk about it after I see him.

Jia Zhen and her original partner, Hu Shi, really don't have any big feelings for each other. Hu Shi became pregnant not long after entering the house, and then caught up with the filial piety, gave birth to a child, and disappeared before getting along.

As a man, Jia Zhen naturally cares about his marriage. His future wife, who may accompany him for the rest of his life, he secretly asked his mother. Also outstanding in everything.

With a little expectation, Jia Zhen asked someone to inquire about the You family again. After hearing the feedback, Jia Zhen began to feel uneasy. Although the highest member of the You family, Mr. You, is only the fourth rank, but you must know that his father has no titles other than the title. To the fourth product.

The You family is a family of officials and eunuchs, and although there are not many children, the existing two masters are all from the background of Jinshi, and they are real scholars. His father's friend is even more serious and upright. Test him, can he answer the question, then he will embarrass his father, let alone the marriage, his father will definitely not let him go.

No matter what Jia Zhen thinks, the one who should come will always come. After a few days, Jia Jing handed over the greeting card to Youfu, and brought Jia Zhen to the door after another two days. Youwende has been waiting for a long time. , Just asked someone to lead it to the study.

As soon as Jia Zhen entered the door, she began to secretly look at it. This You Mansion does not look as grand as their Ning Mansion, but it is also exquisite everywhere, but it does not feel small, but it gives people a sense of grandeur. Recognizing that this is a scholar's family, the servants of the mansion are very well-behaved.

Entering the study, a middle-aged man who was about the same age as his father greeted his father. This man had a serious face, but he was not intimidating. On the contrary, he was full of kindness. Jia Zhen knew that this was the Master You that his father was talking about.

Standing beside Mr. You were two boys who were about the same age. They were dressed like scholars, and they were secretly looking at him with their eyes.

Several people greeted each other, You Wen pulled Jia Jing to sit down, You Qisong and Li Tao stood behind You Wende, Jia Zhen stood behind Jia Jing, listening to the conversation between the two, let a few juniors interrupt from time to time, a cup of tea After working hard, You Qisong and Li Tao were driven back to study by You Wende, but in fact, the two teenagers went straight to the main house in the backyard after leaving the study room, where Li Shi and the two little girls were already waiting.

After the two children left, the study room started to get to the point. You Wende began to ask Jia Zhen serious and friendly questions. Jia Zhen was a little nervous at first, but slowly realized that You Wende asked questions. Although there are a lot of questions about the Four Books and Five Classics, but every time they are not blocked, it is embarrassing for him, and I can't help feeling a lot of goodwill for this Lord You.After chatting for a long time, You Wende ordered someone to call You Qisong to let him take Jia Zhen to the yard for a stroll.

Only Jia Jing and You Wende were left in the study, and You Wende took a sip of tea and asked Jia Jing, "Master Ling is a smart kid at first glance, but I don't know if he has a reputation."

"Hey, let's not hide it from Zi'an, although Quanzi has studied for a few years, he didn't get any honor in the exam."

"Oh? Why? Ah, could it be that Mrs. Zun is so distressed that she does not want to let her child go back to her hometown to suffer the hardship of the journey."

"Alas, a loving mother has many failures, not to mention that evil animal has only read two books."

"Why do you have to be self-effacing when you are writing? In my opinion, although Mr. Ling is not very thorough in the process of writing, he is really a rare child with spirituality. Besides, he is only a weak year. Teach him well. He is afraid of difficulties when he is tall. It shouldn't be difficult for the students in the capital to get a Juren."

"Hey, why do you have to praise him? The masters in the family school don't care about him. If it wasn't for the future, I would have the cheek to come to the door."

"Xiuwen is being modest, but when you said sir, I remembered that this sir is also an important thing. Some gentlemen are good, but they are not in the right way with the children, and they are also delaying the children. Like this one in my house, he lectures and me The former husband is very different, humorous and witty, I listened to it a few times, although I think it is good, but I still can't get used to it, but the child learns quickly, if Zhen'er is not used to homeschooling, come to my house to listen It sounds good too."

"Zian, you're being polite. If it really happens, I'll ask Mr. when I go back. I'd like to thank you for your kindness. That scoundrel has to come to the door, so I'll have the cheek to bother you with an on-demand broadcast."

"Xiuwen is too polite."

After a while, a boy came to reply to You Wende saying that the preparations were ready, and You Wende nodded after listening.

"I made Xiuwen laugh. Alas, my wife has always cared about Buddhist affairs. Tomorrow, I am going to take the child to worship in the temple. I am worried, so I ordered a few more words."

"Where is it?" The two laughed and talked for a long time.

On the other side, Jia Zhen and You Qisong were visiting the garden, but their minds were not idle. They inquired about You Qingyuan's news in a roundabout way. You are at ease, but this visit to the garden has been shaken by two points. This young master of Youfu is very knowledgeable, but he is not very satisfied with his meaning. Then can the You family see the little ink in his stomach?Looking at this You Mansion, the rules are clear and clear, even better than other houses.

In this way, Jia Jing and his son returned home with different moods, and the Qin family in Ning'an Hou's mansion had been waiting for a long time.

"Madam, Master and Grandpa are back." A servant woman reported to Qin Shi.

Qin Shi rushed out to greet them, and after the family of three sat down, she waved the servants back, Qin asked: "Master, what did Master You say?"

Jia Jing took a sip of tea first, then looked at Jia Zhen, shook his head, and said slowly, "Oh, I don't know where this wicked beast got Zian's attention, but he seems to be quite close to him, this marriage is basically Ordered."

Jia Jing's appearance just now made Jia Zhen and Qin's family think that the marriage would not work out, but unexpectedly it did. Hearing Jia Jing said that You Wende liked Jia Zhen very much, Qin's family was naturally happy, and said, "I just said that because of the master's face, Zhen My son is so likable, how could it not work."

"Hmph, you, don't be too happy too early, Zi'an's temper, although she agrees, but I'm afraid that Zhen'er will have a great reputation."

"Ah?" Jia Zhen couldn't sit still when she heard that, so she said, how could it be so easy for Yiyou's family to look like a scholar. "Juren? I...I"

"Hmph, it's a virtue when you listen to reading. Alas, Zi'an has always loved his daughter. I just want to add to the icing on the cake. If you don't have any skills and act like someone clinging to the powerful, he will naturally feel uncomfortable."

"Hey, isn't it just such a thing? You just go to take the test after you have passed the filial piety. Anyway, there is a place for supervisors at home, and you don't have to go far. To give your future Yue family a face, he will really be very happy. If you don't pass the exam, but you can't get rid of it, you just need a step."

"Huh" Jia Zhen let out a long breath, "That's good."

"

Hmph, you don't have any ambitions." Jia Jing said and sighed, "Oh, if you can pass the exam, I don't have high expectations, just count down. Oh, our house is now on the Wen road, you go and take the exam The exam is also the same.By the way, ma'am, Mrs. You's family will bring the women in the family to offer incense in the temple tomorrow. If you are convenient, you can go and see her. "

"How can it be inconvenient? It's fine if I go to pray to Buddha to get rid of my sins with my body, let Zhen'er escort me there."

As soon as she heard it, Qin understood what the You family meant, and it happened that she was unable to attend the party during her filial piety, so she was able to meet the eldest girl of the You family, but it was always not so practical to listen to others.

Jia Jing took a sip of tea, seemed to think of something, and asked Jia Zhen, "Are you still used to studying at home?"

"Ah, get used to it."

Qin was surprised, "Why does the master care about this matter?"

"Zian asked this question because he cared about Zhen'er. He said that Zhen'er is smart, even if it's not all about the articles, it shouldn't be bad. I'm afraid it was delayed by the husband. Different children are suitable for different husbands. The ones in the family school may be different. Not suitable for Jane."

"Oh?" Qin couldn't help but care. Although she dotes on Jia Zhen, she is also from a family of officials. All brothers in the family are well-educated. How could she not want her son to have a fame or two, so she said: " The uncle in the next room is in charge of the family school, and there are so many children, I'm afraid I won't notice Zhen'er, so why don't you invite a husband to Zhen'er's house, sir."

Although Jia Zhen didn't want to go to home school, she obviously didn't want to be watched by someone at home, but Jia Jing and his wife obviously didn't care about his thoughts at all, and instead remembered the rare softness of their father just now. For fame, Jia Zhen moved her mouth but didn't say anything.

Jia Jing thought for a while and agreed. It was rare for his father to love him, so he carefully found a humorous and patient old Juren as a teacher for Jia Zhen.

In the You family, You Wende is also quite satisfied. After today's preliminary inquiry, Jia Zhen is not bad. Naturally, it does not mean that she has much ability, but that she has not yet grown into a social scum, and there is a possibility of reform.

From a preliminary point of view, Jia Zhen longs for her father's love and can listen to her words. She admires capable people very much, which most obviously represents her grandfather, and she has obvious fear of the law.

This is thanks to Jia Jing, he himself was frightened by his father, so naturally he had to scare his son, but this is a good thing for You Wende, and he will definitely influence Jia Zhen in the future, with him as a close friend With his father-in-law around, he is basically unlikely to be fooled by others.

And Jia Zhen has ambitions, of course it is not a big ambition, it is nothing more than not letting the Ning Mansion fall under his hands. As an heir since childhood, it would be unrealistic if he didn't even have this idea, but it was hidden by him, obviously He himself felt that he was incompetent, and You Wende felt that it must have something to do with the upbringing of the Ning Mansion. Just when he chatted with Jia Jing, look at what he called Jia Zhen. She obviously dotes on Jia Zhen too much. Although she is obviously a loving mother and strict father, she is a bit too strong. Jia Zhen's confidence has been suppressed, and she is a bit self-defeating and letting go.

However, You Wende will definitely be a good elder. Although he is definitely not able to train him to be a pillar of the country, he has to be a man of the middle. You Wende is now considering the possibility of Jia Zhen becoming a Juren, although at his age Don't think about being a Jinshi, but it is also possible to raise someone to be an official, and it doesn't matter how big an official is. He has a title, and he can do something if he has something to do. In this way, he will not be idle, and his daughter can enjoy the glory and wealth with peace of mind. Have a good time.
