[Red Mansion] Mother Jia has a paralyzed face

Since Jia Hu chose Xie's family, Mrs. Zhang asked her mother to find out about Xie's family.

After the wife of the Xie family returned home, she told her master that Mr. Xie had always loved his daughter very much, and naturally he was very picky about finding a son-in-law. When talking about the Rongguo Mansion, the first reaction was to frown.

Seeing her husband's expression, Mrs. Xie asked, "Isn't your husband not satisfied with the compliments from the eldest grandson of their family?"

"I've heard about that child. He has good character and talent, but his noble family style is different from ours. I'm worried that my daughter will be wronged."

Mrs. Xie disagreed with her husband. Although a man's ability and character are very important, but whether the daughter's family will be wronged when she gets married, the man is only one of them. Mother is a person of courtesy, and in her opinion, this is the most important thing.

Master Xie felt reasonable after hearing Madam's words, but he still didn't quite agree, "There are many aunts in the backyard of Marquis Jia En, and I don't trust his son."

"Old Madam Zhang said that the upbringing of their grandchildren is different from that of their parents. Jia Zhen in Ningguo Mansion does not have a housemate. How many people in Beijing said that the young master of Ningguo Mansion must be a dandy, but now, It’s much better than a lot of people who boast of good upbringing and good manners!” Mrs. Xie persuaded: “I don’t mean to order the Jia family, but the master always checks the situation of the Jia family before making a decision, in case it is the daughter’s good How about going back to the hotel? Wouldn’t it be a pity to miss it?”

"Jia Hu's maternal grandfather, of course, talked to the Jia family about Zhang's family affairs." But Mr. Xie couldn't hold back his wife, so he sent someone to inquire about the Jia family's affairs. Unexpectedly, this inquiry would be a bit of a surprise, and he returned I just told my wife.

Mrs. Xie laughed and said, "How did Husband change his mind?"

Master Xie stroked his beard and nodded, "The old lady of the Jia family is really a wonderful person, this marriage can still be done."

"How to say?"

"Nowadays, the rumors about Jia's family are well-known except for the past, but it is not a secret in the capital that Mrs. Jia is biased. Originally, she favored her second son, and the eldest family was a grasshopper. Now she favors her grandchildren, and her sons are all Grass, but the relationship between the masters of the Jia family is quite mysterious."

Mrs. Xie has heard about this for a long time. It is not strange that the old man prefers another family. However, when the two daughters-in-law of the Jia family came to the banquet, they did not care about saying that the old lady did not want to see their son and daughter-in-law. It's really something that other people's homes don't have.

"And the grandchildren's reputation is indeed very good. The young ones can't tell it now, but at Jia Hu's age, he came from the family of Xun Zhuzi. If he didn't control himself, he would definitely not have the current results."

Mr. Xie even found Jia Hu's policy theory and read it. It has great potential, so now he does not exclude such a son-in-law.

In the Rongguo Mansion, Mrs. Zhang sat down with the mistress of the Xie family to have a formal discussion after getting the letter. Although the Xie family had a basic recognition of Jia Hu, they still wanted to see Jia Hu before making a final decision. For one thing, Mrs. Zhang was a little embarrassed, "Hu'er is studying at Guangling Academy now, and the previous letter came back when she was preparing for the provincial examination. If Mr. Xie really wants to meet, you have to wait for me to write a letter."

"I heard that the young master of Madam's family lived in the academy directly? It's not long for the children nowadays to suffer." Master Xie didn't insist on meeting Jia Hu, so Madam Xie didn't mind after hearing what Mrs. Zhang said. I insisted on meeting, but I just asked about other things.

"This is Hu'er's own idea. The family letter also said that the academy is very good. I feel distressed, but my mother-in-law said that it is a blessing for boys to suffer a little when they are young, and she is very supportive." Saying so, Zhang's expression It's all complacency.

On the other hand, the conversation between Jia She and Lord Xie was surprisingly harmonious. Jia She was not afraid of anything, and he didn't feel uncomfortable being with officials with real power at all. On the contrary, he was able to make people feel Majestic, thanks to Mr. Xie, who has gone through many things and is not surprised.

"My eldest son won't follow me, he will follow his grandmother and mother more." Jia Amnesty said to Master Xie with a full face of complacency, "If he followed me, he wouldn't be as successful as he is now."

The eldest son of the Xie family lowered his head and suppressed a smile. The people his father interacted with were all polite scholars. It was probably the first time for him to be like this. Imagining his father's expression was really uncontrollable.

But Mr. Xie didn't like his son. Hearing what Jia She said, he nodded seriously, and said: "Enhou is so frank and self-aware, Xie admires him."

People are like that, you can say whatever you want, but if others agree with you in front of you, you won’t be so happy. Jia She is like this. He wants to curl his lips when he hears Master Xie’s words. Sure enough, scholars are so annoying!

Although I remembered that this might be the future in-laws, Jia She felt that he was very different from the Xie family. On the contrary, after talking with Mr. Xie, his impression of Jia She was a bit better. In the past, I only heard that Jia She was ridiculous, but now It seems that he is more satisfied than that kind of scheming.

After the first meeting, Master Xie didn't necessarily ask Jia Hu to return to Beijing, he directly approved the marriage of Jia and Xie's family.

Miss Xie's one-sided understanding of her fiancé was all from her parents, but when she happened to meet her little sisters when she went out with her mother, they all felt very good about her marriage. Xie Pingyuan thought, this It seems that the fiancé who is far away in Yangzhou is quite popular with the ladies in the capital.

Jia Hu became a man with a fiancée, and he didn't hide it. The future "little uncle" Fang Fang knew about it, and it spread through his mouth. The students in the academy felt even more deeply after the poetry meeting His identity is unusual, and some inexplicable girls will meet by chance.

Jia Hu was not sensitive to this kind of affair, he was very vigilant when he was not engaged, but when he was married, he was even more cautious in his words and deeds, no one could find a single mistake.

Zhong's father and son also felt a little regretful when they met. Jia Hu was indeed a very good candidate for son-in-law. Zhong Xun even sighed: "If father said Shaoyu from the elder brother's family instead of Wan'er, maybe Jia Hu is your grandson-in-law. Already~"

Dean Zhong was a little silent, although he felt that his granddaughter was the best, but this family background and the status of having no father and no mother were indeed not worthy of Jia Hu, but he felt sorry for his granddaughter who could only be married lowly. Why did the son leave this pair of sons and daughters early!

Zhong Xun saw that his father was a little disappointed, and persuaded him: "Wan'er is a good boy, and he will always have a good home."

Dean Zhong could only nod his head and sighed, "Don't mention this matter again in the future."

"it is good."

The father and son didn't realize that there was a young girl standing outside the study, holding a tray of soup tightly in her hand, her knuckles turned white from the exertion, after a long time, Zhong Shaowan knocked on the door with normal expression, smiling I sent in the soup for my grandfather.

After returning to her room, Zhong Shaowan couldn't help but hugged her knees and cried. Ever since the maid told her that her grandfather intended to marry Mr. Jia, who always came to the house, she had unconsciously fallen in love with her. .

When he came to the house, he uncontrollably hid in the distance and watched secretly, and then secretly blushed, but everything was her wishful thinking and unrealistic ideals, and he didn't like her at all!

I thought he was so polite and courteous, and when the two of them met by chance, there was no presumptuousness at all. Originally... did I look down on her?

Shaowan knew that both her parents had died, and her family background was not as good as that of Jia's family, but she felt that she had been working hard to make herself better than others in terms of manners, etiquette and learning, but she didn't expect that her falsehood would be easily shattered by others.

Jia Hu, who didn't know that he had hurt a girl's heart, was led by his servants to ask the master's study for homework as usual. When he was leaving, he was passing by the garden but was blocked by someone. Jia Hu subconsciously The response is to take a few steps back.

Originally, Zhong Shaowan, who just wanted to say a few words, was poked by Jia Hu's attitude of avoiding it, and he questioned his emotions a little uncontrollably: "You despise me so much?! Refuse to marry and avoid me, Am I so unworthy of you?"

Jia Hu frowned, it was really inappropriate to be so careless, and she didn't want to get entangled, so she pretended to be dazed and said, "What marriage? Hu is not very clear, Miss may have misunderstood."

"You don't know?" Shao Wan asked expectantly after hearing this: "Then what if..."

Jia Hu interrupted what she hadn't said, feeling someone approaching, she cupped her hands slightly and replied: "There is a difference between men and women, Hu and Miss are so talkative and different in etiquette, Miss forgive me, Hu will leave first." Bypass Miss Zhong and hurry to leave.

After leaving the Zhong family, Jia Hu shook his head in relief. Originally, he really had a good impression of the young lady of the Zhong family, but this made him a little helpless. Such a woman was not the wife he was looking forward to anyway.

And Zhong Shaowan was also taken away from the garden by Mrs. Zhong who got the news, returned to the house with a blank face, and directly reprimanded: "Kneel down! Where is your upbringing?!"

Zhong Shaowan cried bitterly: "Grandmother, granddaughter is suffering~ Why? Why should others look down on me just because I have no father or mother?"

"I told you more than once, don't be too sensitive, but you still want to make yourself a prison!" Mrs. Zhong looked at her granddaughter very disappointedly, "I object to your grandfather mentioning this matter, but his whimsy It still makes you think wildly, the Jia family will never allow their eldest grandson's marriage to be flawed, but you and your grandfather are confused by reading too much!"

Taking a deep breath, Mrs. Zhong looked at Shao Wan solemnly, and said, "If you remain like this in the future, you will never have a good life wherever you marry. You should make it clear for yourself~"

After restraining her granddaughter's feet, Mrs. Zhong was still so angry that she beat Dean Zhong in the bedroom at night, all because of this heartless thing!If it weren't for him!How can there be such a thing!

Dean Zhong didn't expect his granddaughter to know what he said, and he knew in his heart that he was wronged, so he could only let his old wife beat and scold him without daring to answer a word.

But Jia Hu was a little scared after this incident, and he would never go to Zhong's house if it was not necessary, and Tai Shifu and Zhong Jiaoxi taught him sincerely, and he didn't want to alienate him, so he spent all his time asking for advice. Put it in the academy, and the Zhong family and his son have no objection to Jia Hu's behavior.
