The Marginal People of Jia's Family in the Red Chamber

After a leisurely stroll to Jinling, Jia Daixiu settled his wife and was ready to visit the clan elders.Now the members of the Jia family staying in Jinling were promoted by Jia Yan after Jia Yuan made his fortune, and they were nothing more than low-ranking people, not the domineering and unscrupulous Jia family in the future.

The people who stayed in Jinling's hometown were just honest people who suddenly got rich, and they still remembered that it was because of someone who ascended to heaven, so after Jia Daixiu arrived, he was still treated very politely.After several decades, the two princes gave too much, and it turned into a "fighting hatred".

In his previous life, when he was Jia Yan, he had a bad impression of his clansmen. He didn't contact them until he became king and proclaimed himself emperor, and there was no so-called grace. This was the first time he saw them.

Why did he think of his previous life again? Jia Daixiu shook his head, pushed his complicated thoughts out of his head, and followed the clan brother who led the way into the door.

Although Jia's family has not been divided into clans, they are still divided into the second house in the capital and the sixth house in Jinling according to the region. The patriarch is the head of the Ningguo Mansion, and the Jinling side entrusts the oldest Zong Laogong to be the general manager. One voice: "Uncle Gong."

Uncle Gong is now in his 50s, which is a rare longevity for this grade. What is even more rare is that he has an old mother who is in her 70s. Everyone has no doubts about Uncle Gong's longevity.

"Jia Daixiu pays homage to Uncle Gong. Uncle has a long and healthy life." Jia Daixiu entered the door and bowed deeply.

"Get up, get up, we are all family members, what are you doing so politely, get up." Uncle Gong helped him up himself, and introduced the three generations of Uncle Gong's family standing on both sides, and the one who just brought Jia Daixiu in was the third Dai's eldest grandson, Jia Daiyi.

"Uncle is too polite. I am far away from home. I will ask uncle to forgive me in the future."

"It's all from my own family, my own family." Uncle Gong stroked his beard and said, Uncle Gong has gone through two dynasties in his life, he is a loyal man, and since he has received the favor of the two houses in the capital, he naturally made up his mind to take good care of Jia Daixiu, a junior.

Uncle Gong took the whole family to talk to Jia Daixiu, and at the end, there was still a meal, and Jia Daixiu even paid a visit to the old lady whom he hadn't had the chance to meet before.

During the meal, the silver-haired old lady sat on the top seat, and Uncle Gong and Jia Daixiu lined up on both sides. Jia Daixiu had to push and push this seat before he dared to sit on it.

The old lady looked at the chicken, duck and fish meat on the table, and said: "This duck is too fat. Look, the oil has flowed onto the plate. If you want my old lady to say, it's better to eat it with steamed buns, so as not to waste it."

As soon as the old lady finished speaking, even Uncle Gong, who had experienced a lot of wind and rain, was also stunned. The young people sitting on the seat, such as Jia Daiyi, blushed with shame, wishing there was a hole in the ground to get in.

Jia Daixiu smiled and said: "The old lady likes to dip steamed buns in duck fat? It's the same as me. I also like to use vegetable oil to mix rice. If the lamb is braised in soy sauce, I like to use soup to mix rice."

"Yes." The old lady turned her body sideways, pulled Jia Daixiu's hand and said, "You are a smart man, mutton is expensive. When your Uncle Gong was young, if he could cook mutton in soy sauce, he would have eaten [-] more. Such a big bowl." The old lady gestured exaggeratedly.

"Uncle Gong is blessed, he is a good craftsman of the old lady."

"That is, when I was young, I was famous for my craftsmanship everywhere." The old lady said proudly.

Jia Daixiu talked to the old lady with a smile, and everyone at the table listened to them saying that Jia Daixiu is not good and always delays eating, and said: "Whenever you are in a good mood, I will come to have a meal. If you have that blessing, you can get If you have a meal of braised mutton, that is my fortune."

"Okay, okay, I will go buy mutton tomorrow."

Jia Daixiu pressed the old lady who said that the wind is the rain, "It's not busy, let's eat first, today's fat duck is also delicious, soft and delicious, the old lady eats too much."

A table of people picked up their chopsticks and entered the normal dining mode.

After dinner, the old lady took Jia Daixiu to talk about ancient times.

"I'm planting these bean sprouts and cabbage in the backyard. When you come here when you're free, I'll cook you a soup with two slices of fat meat in it. It's delicious!" The old lady held Jia Daixiu tightly and said.

"The old lady is in good health, can she still go to the field? Better than me, I have grown so big, I only planted some flowers and plants, not as good as the old lady."

"That's right, my body is strong! Let me tell you, it's the most affordable to grow vegetables. If it weren't for the fact that the land in the backyard is not big or small, it is actually the most cost-effective to grow food. "The old lady muttered in a low voice: "The daughter-in-law and the granddaughter-in-law are still not happy, can flowers be eaten?"

The last sentence was said in a low voice, but the old man was getting older, so he had to speak louder if he spoke unnaturally, and the people accompanying the guests in the room heard it.

"You are wrong, flowers can be eaten!" Jia Daixiu said.

"Really? Don't lie to me, my old lady is smart?"

"How dare you! Do you think the sweet-scented osmanthus cake is made of flowers?" Jia Daixiu asked.

"It's just an osmanthus cake, but there are no osmanthus flowers in my yard!" The old lady stumbled and sighed.

"Who said that the only flower that can be eaten is osmanthus. Wisteria cake, rose cake, lotus porridge, many flowers are both beautiful and delicious. Tell me what flowers are in your yard. When the time comes, I will Write a prescription, you try to do it?"

Before the old lady could speak, Uncle Gong said, "No, where can I get your prescription!"

Jia Daixiu turned his head and said to the old lady aggrievedly: "Look, old lady, Uncle Gong won't let me come for lunch! I plan to come here often in the future!"

The old lady leaned over to protect Jia Daixiu, and said: "Brother Xiu, why can't you come, you all are impatient to listen to me, finally came someone who is willing to listen to me, you still want to bully him." Just about to cry, Jia Daixiu hurriedly persuaded him again: "You can count as talking to Uncle Gong. Uncle saw that you only talked to me and ignored him. It was on purpose."

Only then did the old lady smile contentedly, and Shi Shiran said: "Well, how old are you, let me give you this." The old lady pointed out a plate of sweet and greasy snacks to Uncle Gong, which was regarded as "to appease ".

After three rounds of tea, the old lady let Jia Daixiu leave with unsatisfied intentions. Before leaving, she kept telling him to come more often.

It was Jia Daiyi who sent him out. When he was leaving, Jia Daiyi said embarrassedly: "The old lady is old, don't mind."

"It's all a family, there's nothing to mind. I think the old lady is kind-hearted and simple. She should be a role model for my generation."

"Hehe~" Jia Daiyi smirked twice, not understanding how Jia Daixiu came to such an old-fashioned and warm-hearted evaluation. You must know that the old lady has always been known for her temper.

"I didn't enjoy my meal today. Tomorrow, I'll invite Brother Xiuxian to Xinghexuan. The food there is the most delicious." Jia Daiyi smiled, and he already had the demeanor of a young master when he spoke and acted. "By the way, Brother Xiuxian, you are from Beijing. At the foot of the Son of Heaven, is there anything delicious and interesting? You like to eat Beijing cuisine. Then let's go to Wanqing Building. Their Beijing cuisine is the most authentic. The dishes are inlaid with gold and silver."

"What do you mean by embedding gold and silver? Why is his family the most authentic?"

"Brother Xiuxian, you are kidding me, don't you know. I heard that the nobles in the capital use gold bowls and silver plates for their meals, and they serve them richly. It is only this magnificent that is worthy of the nobles in Beijing."

"Porcelain is naturally used for meals. Except for food and poisons in the palace, who would use silver plates and gold utensils." Jia Daixiu laughed. He was still a child. Although he was married, he still yearned for the prosperity of the capital. It is similar to "the pole used by the emperor must be made of gold".

"Use porcelain, how can it be worthy of being a nobleman?" Jia Daiyi asked. His family has a bit of noodles in Jinling. Then take Jia Daixiu's light and go to see the scenery.

"Status is not made of gold and silver. The richest people in this world are merchants. Do they have status? What is your status? If you wear brocade, people will praise you for being romantic and rich; if you wear Songjiang cloth, people will praise you for your simplicity and grandeur. " Jia Daixiu said casually with a smile.

While talking, he had already reached the gate, and Jia Daixiu bowed his hands and left.

After Jia Daiyi sent her back, everyone in the family was still talking in the living room, except for the old lady who went back to rest first.

When Jia Daiyi entered, his mother and grandma were praising Jia Daixiu!

"Brother Xiu is a good guy, not to mention handsome, with a sweet mouth, and the most rare thing is his good temper." Aunt Gong laughed.

"Who says it's not!" Jia Daiyi's wife flattered: "It's not my junior's mouth, the old lady is getting old, and her temper is a bit at odds with us. Brother Xiu, a nobleman from Beijing, has a really good temper and is patient. Extremely!"

"Yeah, it's rare that he isn't a provocateur, and his words are reasonable and considerate of all parties. I have lived for decades, and I have never seen such a proper person."

"Yeah yeah."

A few female relatives were talking lively over there, and the male guests on Uncle Gong's side were holding tea and laughed to themselves: This is talking about people, they are like gods in the sky.

Seeing that Jia Daiyi sent the man away, the people left after a few more instructions.

Jia Daiyi naturally told his father and grandfather what Jia Daixiu casually said about the "identity theory", and Uncle Gong praised: "No wonder he and the old lady can talk about it together, yes, a person's identity is something that can be called from a foreign object." Yes. After all, it came from the Duke’s Mansion.”

"After all, it came from the Duke's Mansion." Jia Daiyi also praised.

Jia Daixiu's visit earned him a lot of favorability points. This was his first step in Jinling, and it was a safe journey.

When Jia Daixiu went back, Mrs. Gao was tidying up the house.They went back to Jinling and lived in a small courtyard near the street in Jia's old house. As a member of the capital's government, Jia Daixiu was eligible to live in the old house.But Jia Daixiu was not stupid enough to live in the hospital, and he didn't even choose a good yard. He couldn't believe that there were no people from Jia Yuan in his hometown to watch him. Today's Jia's family is still on the rise, and it's clear.

Jia Daixiu chose a courtyard near the back street, which has convenient transportation and is not noisy. Jia Daixiu likes the mood of being quiet amidst the hustle and bustle.

Seeing Mrs. Gao flustered, Jia Daixiu asked, "What are you cleaning up?"

"Qi Ye, I want to drive out the curtains and curtains in the bedroom. They are all ready-made, and I just let the maids hang them up. I also need to take care of the flowers and trees in the yard." Gao Shi said.

"Well, set aside a study room for me facing south."

"Qiye's study has been prepared a long time ago. It's close to the small yard in the garden. It's six or seven rooms in size. There are so many books that I can't put them in. I can pack a couch so that Qiye can rest." Gao made arrangements: "Qiye, if you want No, go and have a look, my mother's study has opened up several houses, do you think we should do the same?"

"Well, I'll go and have a look. You should be busy." Jia Daixiu raised his legs and walked towards the small garden.

When he walked out, Gao's nanny said: "My good lady, what are you talking about about my mother's family? Do you mean to let Qi Ye learn from her mother's family? Don't say that, be careful that Qi Ye is not happy!"

"Husband and wife are one, Qi Ye is not an old-fashioned man, just talk about what's wrong, if the husband and wife are really so polite, it will make people unhappy." Gao Shi continued to tidy up the house indifferently.

The nanny sighed and stopped talking.
