Jia She's eldest son of the Red Chamber

Under the ingenious hands of the imperial physician, the tenth princess was finally rescued, but according to Wen Yuan’s judgment, the tenth princess might not be able to have children anymore, and it was a matter of heirs. Emperor Pingkang thought about it again and again, and told the story Jia Hu.

Although it is an unwritten rule that concubines are not allowed to take concubines, it depends on the situation. Forbidden to take concubines, but you can't help but have a room. If Tong Fang has a child, is it true that Tong Fang is not allowed to give birth to the child? , No matter which dynasty or generation, there is no reason that just because you marry a princess, you should not have children.

Therefore, many concubines and princesses marry according to their own needs, take care of their houses, and give birth to their children, but they just don't have aunts or concubines in name.

It's not that Emperor Ping Kang didn't know about this, he just turned a blind eye to it.

However, the situation of the tenth princess is different. The physical condition of the tenth princess may make it difficult to have children, and Jia Hu is the eldest son and grandson of the Rongguo Mansion, so the Rongguo Mansion cannot be extinct because of the tenth princess.

Emperor Pingkang thought again and again, and let Xia Dequan quietly go to Rongguo Mansion to explain the situation of the ten princesses.

Jia Hu couldn't hide his surprise, "The tenth princess is really barren?"

Xia Dequan nodded sadly, "So that General Jia will know that the tenth princess is probably... maybe..."

Xia Dequan felt heavy and couldn't bear to speak out, so he nodded helplessly.

The imperial physicians in the imperial hospital always said seven points and only three points, but this time they said firmly about the tenth princess's infertility, which shows that the tenth princess is really barren.

Xia Dequan sighed, "Your Majesty had a good time with the old Rongguo, and he couldn't bear the fact that Rongguo's mansion had no heirs because of the ten princesses, so he authorized General Xiao Jia to have a concubine and have a son."

Jia Hu frowned slightly, and before he could speak, Xia Dequan said in a low voice: "These two maids were specially chosen by the Holy Majesty and Concubine Zhen for General Jia. Know the rules."

As he said that, he asked the two maids behind him to come forward, and saw that the two maids were about seventeen or eighteen years old, and their appearance was beautiful. The woman is dignified but not frivolous, and she is somewhat knowledgeable about etiquette. It can be seen that Emperor Pingkang and Concubine Zhen have no intention of wronging Jia Hu.

Jia Hu pondered for a moment, and finally said: "Please ask Eunuch Xia to take the two of them back."

Xia Dequan frowned slightly, "Is General Jia someone else? It's okay, General Jia just accepts."

Xia Dequan put an accent on the word Na, implying that the woman can only be an aunt at most, not a noble concubine.

"Grandpa Xia is worrying too much." Jia Hu said with a direct smile, "Hu has no intention of taking a concubine!"

Xia Dequan was stunned for a few seconds before he understood Jia Hu's meaning. He said in shock: "Little General Jia, but the physical condition of the tenth princess..."

Jia Hu said bluntly: "After a hundred years of cultivation, we can cross the same boat, and after a thousand years of cultivation, we can sleep together. Being able to be husband and wife is an extremely rare fate, why bother to mix in others."

He paused for a moment and then said bluntly: "It's not true, I have seen too many troubles about disputes between wives and concubines, so I made up my mind never to take concubines in this life."

Not to mention the extreme example of Feng Erye and Wang De, even if they gave birth to a concubine, like cousin Zhang, who wanted to feel pain but hindered his wife, and if he didn't feel pain, it was his own flesh and blood. It's really tiring, and there are two more poor people for no reason, and Jia Lian is still there anyway, so I don't worry about the Jia family losing their children.

Xia Dequan now understood that Jia Hu didn't really have a crush on the tenth princess and was willing to guard her body like a jade for the tenth princess, but that she had no intention of taking concubines.

Xia Dequan was overjoyed. If Jia Hu really fell in love with the tenth princess, he would not believe it. After all, the tenth princess was only seven years old, and the two of them had never met each other a few times. Little General Jia is not that kind of pervert, how could it be possible? Look at the tenth princess who is still a child, but if she doesn't want to take a concubine because she finds it troublesome, it's easy to understand.

Although he was happy that the tenth princess would not be held hostage by concubines and concubines in the future, Xia Dequan also said bluntly: "As the eldest son and grandson of the Jia family, how can this little General Jia be childless? Besides, Mr. and Mrs. Jia..."

Although Xia Dequan didn't say the whole thing, the meaning was already very clear.

Mrs. Jia just woke up the day before yesterday, which was originally a happy event, and she could take the opportunity to say that it was a blessing brought by the ten princesses, but just after the Jia family took a breath, the future mother-in-law woke up.

But it is not a happy event for the ten princesses right now. After all, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are natural enemies. Besides, the mother-in-law can tolerate the daughter-in-law's infertility, and even bullies her husband to prevent him from having a concubine.

If this hadn't been taken into consideration, the Holy Majesty and Concubine Zhen would not have specially rewarded General Xiao Jia with a court lady.

Jia Hu said lightly: "There is a younger brother under Hu, who will inherit the Rongguo Mansion from a son. My mother's place... Hu will take care of her."

He really doesn't care whether he has children or not. If he cared, he would not have been 40 years old in his previous life, and he was still unmarried. Besides, he had a vague feeling that maybe it was because he escaped from death and killed too many people. Because of fate, he vaguely felt that he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to have children, maybe even the tenth princess was implicated by him, so he had no children.

What's more, with Jia Lian around, he wasn't worried at all that the Jia family would become extinct. Don't look at how much Jia Lian seemed to care about Wang Xifeng, but this didn't affect him at all to hook up with Wang Xifeng's maid. I know this kid is hopeless.

That being the case, let him try to play his best function!

Xia Dequan was overjoyed, "I'm afraid I have wronged Mr. Hu."

From General Jia to Young Master Hu, Xia Dequan's attitude can be said to be much closer, obviously quite satisfied with Jia Hu's refusal to take a concubine.

Jia Hu said with a smile: "Brother Lian's son is a descendant of the Jia family. Hu has nothing to wrong, but I'm afraid that the princess will be wronged."

After confirming again and again that Jia Hu really refused to take concubines, Xia Dequan happily took the two maids back home.

After learning about Jia Hu's attitude, not to mention Concubine Zhen who was crying with joy, even Emperor Ping Kang, who was originally disliked by Jia Hu, couldn't help but nodded in satisfaction, agreeing with Concubine Zhen for the first time, "You still have vision."

Concubine Zhen wiped her tears, "The concubine never thought that General Jia would reject my concubine."

Although she saved her daughter's life, she was also worried that her daughter would be oppressed by concubines and concubines in the future. Now that Jia Hu has no intention of taking concubines, she finally doesn't have to worry about Rui'er's future.

"Jia Hu is a good person, and I should mention it later." Emperor Pingkang made a final decision on the spot and said, "Although he is temporarily in command of the Imperial Forest Army, he is only a fourth-rank position, so let someone pass the decree , promoted Jia Hu to the fourth rank!"

"Yes." Xia Dequan said with a smile, "I will send someone to draft an order immediately."

"Go! Go!" Emperor Pingkang urged Xia Dequan with a wave of his hand.

Emperor Pingkang still felt that it was not enough, and said again: "I heard that Jia Qing's mother just woke up the day before yesterday, and she needs some high-quality medicinal materials to take care of her body, so it's good for you to express it."

"Naturally." Concubine Zhen smiled and said, "I have already prepared a gift for myself, and I will send it over later."

However, Jia Hu's refusal to take a concubine was really a surprise, and this reward should naturally be increased by a few percent.

Regardless of the joy in Chuxiu Palace, everyone envied that Princess Ten was a blessed person, but Jia Hu felt a little uneasy.

Although Jia Hu said that he was responsible for everything, he still couldn't say whether Jia She and the others would agree, especially his mother, who had just woken up and wanted to tell her about it, it was unavoidable to be a little uneasy, but thinking about the matter of the tenth princess It was too late, so I finally picked a day and told my mother quietly.

But to his surprise, Mrs. Zhang just sighed and agreed, and instead asked him to treat the tenth princess well.

For some reason, Jia Hu always felt that his mother had misunderstood something...

As for Jia Amnesty, although there were some criticisms, but watching Brother Hu's promotion and fortune, he had nothing to say in the end. If it was an ordinary in-law, he might still pick things up, but today the other party is the royal family. The most unreasonable person is the royal family. If you want to reason with the royal family, you will undoubtedly seek death.

After thinking about it, Jia Amnesty could only put it aside for the time being. Anyway, after the new emperor comes to power, there is still some room for change in this matter.

Of course, everyone has the ambition to hide this matter from Jiamu, and don't let Jiamu know about it, otherwise, if Jiamu finds out, I'm afraid it will not be beautiful.

Although the tenth princess is only seven years old, there are no innocent children in the palace. After the tenth princess learned about this, she must have been extremely depressed. In addition, the tenth princess had just recovered from a serious illness, so Jia Hu wanted to send something to comfort the tenth princess. .

But when it comes to doctors and medicinal materials, there is no place in this world as good as the palace. If he sends any medicinal materials, it is just a savage's exposure.

Jia Hu thought about it again and again, and after all, someone sent a batch of new books published by Jinjiang Bookstore to the ten princesses. All the ones read by children were excluded, and only a few books on the latest gourmet books published by Jinjiang Bookstore were selected for the ten princesses to read.

After all, the tenth princess is seriously ill, and I think the bitter medicine juice is constantly coming out every day. This traditional Chinese medicine is the worst for my appetite. Reading some food articles, maybe it will arouse the tenth princess’s appetite, so that she can use more things, as long as she can still use them It's always good to think about it.

In addition, Jia Hu also asked the kitchen to make some candied haws and sent them to the palace along with the food.

Although this thing is small, but when it comes to snacks in Beijing, no one has to mention candied haws. The first article in the opening chapter of his food article talks about the famous candied haws in Beijing. It can whet the appetite of the ten princesses.

Of course, this candied haws is a famous delicacy in Beijing, the quality varies from good to bad, some are sold in shops, and some are sold at roadside stalls, but no matter what kind Jia Hu dares to send into the palace, he can only cook it at home Carefully made some candied haws.

Generally speaking, it is very taboo to send food to the palace, but it also depends on who the recipient is, like in the general concubine's natal family, there are many people who send food to the palace, even the princes and princes who have opened the palace outside. Whenever the princess gets some fresh food, she never forgets to bring the last one to the palace.

It's just that whether Xia Dequan can pass Xia Dequan's test after being sent to the palace, and get himself in front of the Holy Majesty, that's another matter. Fortunately, the tenth princess is just a princess after all, and there are not so many taboos. (Note [-])

The future husband-in-law of the ten princesses whom the Holy Majesty valued the most sent someone to send something. Based on this, the eunuch naturally opened the back door for him, and it didn't take long for him to send it to Chuxiu Palace where Concubine Zhen was located.

Although the tenth princess is only seven years old, she already knows a lot of words, and she just read the first article of the delicious food and clamored for candied haws.

Just as Jia Hu guessed, although the tenth princess's fever finally subsided after taking strong medicine, she lost her appetite and couldn't eat for several days. Concubine Zhen was worried about this matter. After eating, he was overjoyed and asked Chuxiu Palace's small kitchen to make some candied haws.

"Your Majesty." It was rare to see the tenth princess happy, and the eunuch Qin said jokingly: "In addition to sending books, the Rongguo Mansion also sent a lot of candied haws. Would you like to let the tenth princess try it?"

"This..." Concubine Zhen was a little disgusted at first, but when the tenth princess heard that it was sent by the Rongguo Mansion, she clamored to taste it immediately, "Mother Concubine! I want to eat it!"

Concubine Zhen is willing, "The food brought from outside is useful."

Although it was made by the Rongguo Mansion, it would be better if it could be as good as the things in the palace.

"Do I want to eat it?" The tenth princess said coquettishly, "I'm tired of eating candied haws in the palace. Do you want a change, daughter?"

And it was sent by brother Jia Hu, she had to try everything she said.

Concubine Zhen had no choice but to agree to her daughter's failure. As soon as Concubine Zhen ordered, the eunuch quickly brought up the candied haws from Rongguo Mansion.

Because Jia's mother loves food, the food in Rongguo Mansion has always been more refined than that in other places. Although the taste is not as good as that made in the palace, but in terms of novelty, it is worse than the regular food in the palace.

The hawthorn fruit produced near the suburbs of Beijing is famous for its round shape and bright red color. Generally, candied haws are made with a series of hawthorn fruit on a bamboo stick. The sweet and sour hawthorn fruit makes people can't help but eat one after another, so it has become the top snack in Beijing and China.

However, the candied haws made by Rongguo Mansion use the syrup made from high-quality snowflake sugar instead of maltose syrup, so it is really transparent and crystal clear, like frost, and the fruits used are not limited to hawthorn, but I like to use some Fresh fruits, such as kiwi, raisins, kumquats...etc.

What's more special is that the candied haws made by Rongguo Mansion are not made by stringing the fruits together, but a bunch of fruits.And knowing that it was sent to the palace, the cook of the Rongguo Mansion even put a lot of thought into putting the candied haws in a small vase, with layers of various colors, like a bunch of flowers, even like Concubine Zhen. People of their age can't help being moved.

She couldn't help but tasted a candied haws strung with grapes, and said with a smile: "This taste is not bad."

She also tasted this candied haws when she was young, but she really couldn't remember the taste of it, but now that she tasted it again, it was better than the one in memory, not worse than the one in the palace.

The nanny laughed and said, "It can be seen that General Jia has put his mind to it."

Good intentions, no matter what the reason is, as long as General Jia is willing to pay attention to the ten princesses, they can feel at ease.

Maybe it was because of joy, or maybe it was because these candied haws really satisfied the tenth princess's appetite. The tenth princess ate a dozen of them in a row, but it was Concubine Zhen who told her to stop because she was afraid that she would accumulate food.

Princess Ten's complexion was a little pale, but after eating a lot of sweets, her complexion was better than before. She was a little bit reluctant to part with her, but she still put down the candied haws in her hand as ordered by her mother and concubine.

Tenth Princess suddenly said, "Thank you, Concubine Mother."

Concubine Zhen smiled and said, "Thank you so much for what?"

The tenth princess blushed and said in a low voice: "Thank you, mother concubine, for choosing a good husband for my daughter."

There are no pure children in the palace. Although she is young, she also knows that it is her blessing to have a husband like Brother Jia Hu, just like other sisters, although their husbands treat them with respect, But the women were pulled into the house one by one, and the bastards were born one after another. Although many sisters said they didn't mind on the surface, no one was sad inside. It's rare that Jia Hu's brother didn't have such thoughts at all.

Concubine Zhen was taken aback, and lovingly kissed her daughter's forehead, "Since this is the case, you should rest well and take good care of your body. Don't take advantage of such a good husband-in-law."

"Yes." The tenth princess nodded heavily, "My daughter will take care of herself."

She is confident that she will be fine, not only will she grow up well, but she will also marry him in a healthy and healthy way, and then... Maybe one day she will take care of her body and give him children.

The ten princesses were overjoyed and fell asleep with a beautiful dream for the future.

Looking at her sleeping daughter, a tear slowly fell from the corner of Concubine Zhen's eyes.

The author has something to say: Note [-]: In Tang Lusun's Taste of the World, it is mentioned that the queen's natal family sometimes offers fresh delicacies to the queen, so it is okay to send food to the concubine.As for the Holy Majesty, that is another matter, even if the concubine claims to have made it herself, the empress has to try it, and if she thinks there is no problem, she can present it to the imperial court.
