[Red House] Ban'er's Road to Imperial Examination

As soon as Jia Lian got home, he heard Wang Er hurried to him and told him that the master was injured.

Jia Lian's heart skipped a beat at the time, thinking of what the master said just before leaving the house, Jia Lian felt that it would be difficult for the master to be injured this time.

So he hurriedly asked the reason why the master was injured, and when he heard that the mandarin duck in the old lady's room accidentally knocked over the teacup on the master, so that the master was burned, Jia Lian secretly muttered in his heart, what is going on? thing?Could it be that the master has kept his grudges up to now, and wants to take revenge for Yuanyang's refusal of him last time?

But Jia Lian didn't think it was because of this. After all, the master is now concerned about Baoyu's entry into the Imperial Academy, so why would he focus on a little maid?

What's more, with the master's temperament, since the old lady warned him not to allow him to play with the mandarin duck, the master must not have the courage to embarrass the mandarin duck. At most, he will wait for the old lady to be unable to protect the mandarin duck after a hundred years. .

Jia Lian lowered his head and thought for a while as he walked, but he still hadn't cleared his mind and didn't know what the master wanted to do. When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard where the master lived, he happened to see Jia Zhen sending the imperial doctor out. He came over eagerly and asked the imperial doctor about his father's injury.

The imperial physician hung up the book bag slowly, and Jia Lian knew that since the imperial physician behaved like this, the master must be fine, so he was a little relieved, but he became more anxious on the surface, and acted like a dutiful son.

The imperial physician and Jia Zhen comforted him again, and then Jia Lian bid farewell to the two of them and went into the yard.

As soon as he entered the room, he knelt down and cried, "Master, are you okay!"

He walked up to Jia Amnesty, crying and walking on his knees, looking very sad. Others in the room hurried forward to support him, and Jia Mu also stood up hurriedly, took his hand and persuaded: "Good boy, don't worry, the imperial doctor." I said it’s nothing serious, I’ve already prescribed the medicine, and I’ll be fine for a few days in peace.”

As she spoke, Mother Jia urged the servants outside again and asked, "Is the medicine ready? Have you brought the medicine from the aunt's side?"

The servant hurriedly came in and reported: "All the medicinal materials needed in the prescription have already been prepared by the warehouse, and the ones that are not in the house have also been sent out to buy, and they will be ready in a while. The concubine also sent people to buy them." As I said in the past, the medicine will be delivered in about a while."

Mother Jia was relieved now, and asked Wang Xifeng: "Have you written down the taboos that the imperial physician just said? You can tell the kitchen well, don't send up those things that need to be taboo, and delay his recovery. .”

"Old lady, don't worry!" Wang Xifeng smiled coquettishly, pulled Qiao Jie who stood silently aside and said, "Sister Qiao just hid behind the screen and wrote down everything the imperial doctor said."

Mother Jia laughed more and more charitably when she heard the words: "My good boy, you are a filial man, treat your grandfather well later, I want to remember you for your great service!"

Jia Amnesty was lying on the couch, asking his concubine to blow the wound for him, so as to relieve the pain of the wound. Hearing Wang Xifeng's words, he couldn't help but said: "This is what filial piety should do. It can be regarded as good bamboo shoots, although I am not filial, but I have taught a good daughter and given me a good granddaughter."

After speaking, he turned around and said to the servant in front of him: "Go to my study and get the box on the second floor on the left above the shelf, and give it to the eldest girl."

After finishing speaking, he said to Qiaojie: "This is a set of ruby ​​heads I got in the early years. It is a very rare set. The rubies on it were brought from Siam. They are big and translucent. Now they are again. It’s hard to come by, let me give you this filial piety today!”

After he finished speaking, everyone knew that it was false to reward Qiaojie, and it was true to ridicule Jia Lian. The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, and the juniors did not dare to speak, they just lowered their heads and remained silent.

And Sister Qiao can only bow her head and say nothing. After all, one is her own grandfather and the other is her own father. middle use.

Among the elders, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang knew that Jia She said this, probably because Jia Lian usually leaned next to them, so in order to avoid suspicion, they didn't say anything.

And Mrs. Xing can't wait to see the young couple being scolded by the master. If they are unhappy, they are already blessed by God, and they will not speak up for them.

Therefore, after all, only Jia Mu is suitable to speak this way.

But Jia's mother also knew that according to filial piety, Jia Lian and his wife relied on their parents to be the right way. They went to the uncle's house next door to help out and said that they were doing things for the family, but they were not so confident after all.

Besides, it's fine for her to be biased towards the second room. Now that her eldest son is injured, she really can't be biased anymore.

So she had no choice but to smile and get this matter out of the way, so she stepped forward, took Qiaojie's hand and said, "My good boy, just accept the things your grandpa gave you, he has many good things in his hand." It’s hard to be happy today, so it’s revealed.”

Jia She knew the attitude of the old lady. After all, he was not good at being a son and would be stubborn with his mother, so he sneered at Jia Lian, and turned to Sister Qiao and said, "Good boy, just come here when you have nothing to do. When you make me happy, I will prepare a big dowry for you when you get married later!"

What he said immediately made Qiao sister blush, lowered her head and complained, said: "I'll go to the kitchen to see the medicine" and ran away.

Everyone immediately became jovial, teasing Miss Qiao in front of the coach and Wang Xifeng, instantly dispelling the embarrassing atmosphere just now, as if what happened just now had never happened at all.

Everyone said a few words, and seeing Jia Mu's tired face, they persuaded her to go back to her room to rest. Jia Mu was still a little worried about Jia She's injury, but for a while she was afraid that Jia She would make trouble out of nothing, so after thinking about it, He also asked Jia Lian and his wife to take good care of Jia She's injury, and called Mrs. Xing over to tell her to take good care of Jia She and not allow him to drink and play while he was recuperating.

How could Mrs. Xing dare to control Jia She, and she also knew that Jia She would not listen to her, if she really said it, it would be nothing but a waste of quarrel and loss of face.But she couldn't disobey Jiamu's wishes, so she had to agree with Nuonuo.

Mother Jia saw how she was so unaware of her thoughts, so she could only sigh, and made up her mind to ask the servant girl to come and see him more in the next few days, and asked Sister Qiao to come and see him more, no matter how ridiculous her elder son is, he can't Shameless, act recklessly in front of your granddaughter!

For a while, everyone sent Jia Mu away. Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang stayed for a while, said a few more words, and then left too. Baoyu and other sisters also followed.

Only Jia She, Mrs. Xing, Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng and Qiaojie's family were left in the room.

Jia She then opened his mouth to push the three women away, leaving only his son Jia Lian to serve him, and when there were only two people left in the room, Jia She said, "Do you remember what I told you when you went out earlier? "

"My son will naturally remember."

"Oh? You remember? So how did you do it?"

Of course Jia Lian couldn't say that he ignored his father's words at all, so he changed his story in the Imperial College in a different way, and then said: "Brother Bao is really spoiled by the old lady, and there are still people in the family. Those friends outside are also willing to support him, even the prince of Beijing Jing, even if he is occasionally rude in view of the relationship for many years, he will not blame him more. Therefore, I think about our lord I'm not afraid of brother Bao's entry into the Imperial College, maybe he will get up in a moment and offend His Highness the Crown Prince by speaking, and His Highness the Crown Prince will drive him back at that time."

Looking at Jia Amnesty's face, and because of his words showing satisfaction, Jia Lian said again: "If His Highness the Crown Prince drove him back, what future is there? Even if he can read again, the ministers in the court can still go against him." His Royal Highness wants to reuse him, so what if his sister is the empress in the palace? The empress can still intervene in the affairs of the court? There is only one Baoyu in the second room that can still be seen, Laner is still a child, a bunch of childish, What's the use? The third wife was sent away with an excuse by the second wife, and there is no one else except Baoyu's second wife. We don't need to do anything else, just wait."

Jia She was even more satisfied when he heard the words. He stroked his beard and imagined the prospect Jia Lian had painted. If Baoyu was really rejected by His Royal Highness, and the old lady dotes on Baoyu, can she still gamble with the family's future?

Without Baoyu, the first room and the second room are evenly matched, and the old lady is not afraid of being partial.

However, the second room still has Jia Lan. Although Brother Lan is still young, he was taught by his mother since he was a child, and he is quite good at reading.

As for their big house, Lian'er can't be counted on, and Cong'er is too muddy to support the wall, but Lian'er and his wife have been married for many years, and they haven't given him a grandson yet.

At this point, the second room overwhelmed them again. Although Zhu'er left at a young age, she still left a grandson behind, and he was the eldest grandson of the Rongguo Mansion's direct line. This point overwhelmed their first room down.

Thinking of this, Jia Amnesty couldn't help but look ugly. He put on a stern face and said to Jia Lian: "How long have you been married to your wife? Why haven't you given me a grandson yet? Look at the second room, Zhuer At any rate, Brother Lang was left behind, and Baoyu seemed to be getting older. Although I watched coldly, the old lady and the second lady were still fighting over who should be his wife, but I reckoned that it wouldn't be long, and I couldn't wait any longer. In two years, the second wife will have another child. Tell me, when are you going to give birth to a grandson? Even a bastard will do it?"
