Weiyang of the Red Mansion

"My son didn't think about this..." Jia Lang raised his head and said in confusion.

Tang Xi looked at Jia She's hesitant to speak, but he didn't say what was in his heart because he cared about Jia She's face in front of the children.

Jia Amnesty didn't know what Tang Xi was thinking, so he rubbed Jia Lang's head and said, "No matter what you do, whether you are in business or want to be a ranger, as long as you have plans for your future, dad will not interfere with you." , and won’t let your mother interfere with you, but, Lang’er, in a family like ours, there must be no lazy people, if you follow the example of those in the side branch who eat and wait to die, father will drive you out.”

"Business? Do you earn a lot of money like Uncle Jie?" Jia Lang didn't believe that his father would kick him out, so he cared more about what Jia She said earlier.

Jia She raised his eyebrows, "Lang'er wants to do business?"

"miss you!"

"Scholar, farmer, businessman, do you understand?"

Jia Lang said, "Understood, but our family is not from an ordinary family, even if I go into business, can anyone dare to bully me?"

"You're clever." Jia Amnesty scolded with a smile.

After talking for a while, Jia Lang's strangeness towards Jia She completely disappeared, and he rubbed against Jia She's arms and said, "Father, when I grow up, I want to marry the younger sister of the Wang family."

"Sister Wang?" Jia Amnesty hadn't been in the capital for three years, so he really didn't know which sister Jia Lang was talking about.

He looked at Tang Xi, and saw Tang Xi frowned, "No way! Miss Wang's family can't read well."

Jia Amnesty laughed, "Xi'er, did you forget that my sister-in-law is not literate? You can see that she is being unreasonable?"

One sentence made Tang Xi speechless.

"Anyway, I don't agree!" Tang Xi said angrily.

Jia Amnesty laughed, "I used to be illiterate. Didn't I marry you? My second brother is a second-class Jinshi. He married his younger brother and sister, who are illiterate, and I have never seen life. ? Doesn’t our Lang’er also like reading?”

"Isn't it just because he doesn't like reading that I want to find him a girl who can read and write, otherwise they will be separated in the future, so they really want to go into business?" Tang Xi said a little annoyed.

Whether it is a son born in October of pregnancy, no matter what happens, he can't finish worrying about it.

Jia Amnesty was stunned when he heard Tang Xi's words, and the smile on his face was also a little stiff. He couldn't help but think that the old master planned it for him in the same way.

"Father?" Jia Shen keenly sensed that his father's mood was not right, so he called out cautiously.

Jia Shen's reaction also made Tang Xi look at Jia She, and she didn't miss the sadness that flickered on Jia She's face.

"Enhou?"

Jia Amnesty came back to his senses, raised his head and smiled, and said, "I'm fine."

"You won't lie at all," Tang Xi said, "What did you think of?"

"It's nothing," Jia Amnesty smiled, his face full of reminiscence, and murmured, "Master also planned for me in the same way at the beginning, because I am not good enough, but I am the eldest son of the family. Master and wife are really serious for me." I can't stop worrying, I couldn't understand the thoughts of the master and wife at the time, but now that I am a parent, I understand their painstaking efforts."

Tang Xi was dumbfounded for a moment.

Jia Amnesty looked at Tang Xi and said, "Xi'er, you and I are in love with each other, why did you ever care that I am an illiterate and rude person? The second brother and the younger brother are in love with each other, why did the second brother care that the younger brother is a talented woman who can't read poetry? In the past, I couldn't make decisions. I can't convince the master and wife, but now that I am a master, I want my son to marry someone they like, not a wife."

Tang Xi: "..."

"I understand what you mean. You are afraid that Lang'er will have a bleak end in the future, but Xi'er, we are not too young. In another dozen or 20 years, we will also be buried in the earth. We can't take care of them for a lifetime, children and grandchildren With their own children and grandchildren, their future has to be fought for by themselves, even if you have arranged everything for them now, if they don't live up to their expectations, it will only be a bleak evening in the end."

Tang Xi was silent.

Jia She rubbed Jia Lang's head and looked at the silent Tang Xi, "Master also thought that I was ignorant and incompetent. Rongguo Mansion was in my hands, and sooner or later it would be defeated, so he thought of hiring me a scholar from the family." My wife, who was born in a scholarly family, is not good enough, but I have to have vision. In order to choose a wife for me, the master has turned a lot of gray hair. After getting married, in fact, I didn’t make much progress, and I have been indulging in my children’s affair , the master was worried that I would not be able to support my family status, so he gave me an idea, let me go to the south to earn military merits, and asked me if I dared, I said yes, I really just relied on my blood at the time, and didn't think too much at all, but You don’t know how cruel it is until you actually go to the battlefield.”

"I didn't know at the time whether I could come back. Xi'er, it's meaningless to think too much about life in this world. Their lives have to go on their own. They will only cherish everything they have worked hard with their own hands. You don't Worry so much, as long as there is no disparity in family status, just let him go, our family is not the royal family, why pay so much attention to it?"

Tang Xi glanced at Jia She, and was laughed angrily by him, "You said everything, what else do you want me to say?"

"If you really don't want Lang'er to marry a girl from the Wang family, I'll listen to you, but in the future Lang'er and his wife won't get along, are you going to give him some more beautiful maids?" Jia She raised his eyebrows. road.

Tang Xi glared at Jia She, "Our family doesn't have such rules!"

"I don't agree with this. Our family used to have this rule. It's just that we agree with each other. I don't like those, so I don't have it. The second brother is influenced by me. You can see it? Zhou's brother Qiang bled profusely and couldn't be saved. The step-wife he married was said to be surnamed You, and she had no temper. Brother Zhen didn't take her seriously at all. Now Several girls in the room took turns and didn't give the stepmother any face, you also want our family Lang'er to become like Brother Zhen?"

When Jia Zhen was mentioned, Tang Xi frowned, "Zhen'er used to look pretty good, but now she's getting worse and worse."

"Who made Master Jing of the Dong Mansion insist on asking the immortals? Fortunately, he didn't go to the Taoist temple, otherwise the rumors would be even worse." Jia She is now more and more disgusted with those individuals in the Dong Mansion.

Tang Xi sighed, "It can't be helped. Originally, there was a brother Jin in Dongfu. He just passed the provincial examination last year and said he would take the general examination this year. However, he fell ill after finishing the provincial examination. Now he has been lying in bed for more than half a year. I'm afraid it's not good."

"Brother Jin is also a pity." Jia She sighed.

Jia Jin is the direct branch of the Ningguo Mansion, his grandfather is Jia Daiyou, uncle Tang's direct younger brother, and Jia She also calls Uncle Ertang. Uncle Ertang has only one son named Jia Gan, who is married to He Shi, but both of them are He was in poor health and left early, leaving behind his only son, Jia Jin, to live with Dongfu. He finally grew up to be in his twenties. It seems that he just passed his 25th birthday this year, and he is 26 years old.

Jia Jin's wife has been married for six or seven years. Last year, Jia Jin became pregnant after falling ill. I don't know if it is a boy or a girl. If Jia Jin really has a good or bad idea, Jia Jin's wife, Gu Shi, may also have a baby. Don't worry, when the time comes, I'm afraid of one dead body and two lives.

"Enhou, Dongfu is not in a good shape now. Brother Rong is now four years old and has reached the age of enlightenment. Why don't you take him to our mansion to raise him, or let Zhenge teach him, and he will learn five things sooner or later." With all the poison, there should really be no hope for the East Mansion." Tang Xi frowned.

Jia She was silent for a while, and said, "Our family is still keeping filial piety. Let's take him over when he is not filial. It just so happens that Jin'er's family is about to give birth. At that time, no matter whether it is a man or a woman, they will all come to the house." They are raised together, and in the East Mansion, there is no hope. Brother Rong can’t be raised anymore, um... Well, let Rong go to home to study first, and I will let Feng Jing and the others keep an eye on it. Something will happen."

"Father, home school..." Jia Shen opened his mouth, but stopped talking.

Jia She raised his eyebrows, "Is there anything else you dare not say?"

"That's not true," Jia Shen said with a shy smile, "It's just that the uncle is now focused on his young grandson, and doesn't care much about housework."

The uncle Jia Shen spoke of was Jia Dairu. Jia Dairu was Jia She's father's concubine younger brother who had been separated out a long time ago. Now the family has a small income, relying on the children who took the exam in the early years to teach in the home school.

If he remembered correctly, he heard that Dairu's uncle's only son died of illness the year before last. As for his daughter-in-law, she died of dystocia when she gave birth to Jia Rui. Now Jia Dairu brought his daughter-in-law to raise the only child.

Jia She frowned, and said, "I'll find two people to teach in the family school later, and Uncle Dairu is getting old, so I can buy him some land and let him teach his grandson at home."

Jia Shen smiled and said nothing.

Originally, he didn't have much interest in this uncle, he didn't have much knowledge, and he liked to talk about big reasons. If it wasn't for the sake of his being an elder, Jia Shen would have refuted him to the point of being speechless.

It was Tang Xi who enlightened Jia Shen, but it was Jia Shen’s grandfather and three uncles who taught Jia Shen these years. In fact, Jia Shen had already passed the provincial examination in Jinling last year. If he had to honor his grandfather this year However, Jia Shen actually wanted to take part in the test to find out his own background.

The new emperor ascended the throne and did not open Enke. This year is the year of the Grand Competition.

After a few more gossips, Wan Qing, who has now become a nanny, came in to report.

"Master and Madam, Second Master Jin of Dongfu is gone."

Jia Amnesty and Tang Xi looked at each other, and then said, "Now the mansion is observing filial piety, you send someone to send some things over there, and find some stable women to take care of Second Grandma Jin, so that she won't have any problems with this baby."

Jia Jin is gone, and the child in Gu's womb is Jia Jin's only blood, so nothing can go wrong.

Speaking of which, Jia Jin's branch is also strange, let alone a single pass, why are they all short-lived?Could it be some curse?

After Wan Qing left, Jia Amnesty hugged Lang'er and sighed, "Dongfu is really in decline now."

"I hope Brother Rong can live up to his expectations." Tang Xi comforted.

Jia She smiled. He wasn't worried about the East Mansion, but felt that the burden on him was heavy. Not only did he have to support the Rongguo Mansion, but he also had to take care of the Ningguo Mansion. I feel like I won't live long.
