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

In the end, it was Wen Jinhou who came forward and named Yuan Sanlang and his eldest grandson's child Yuan Wanli to commemorate their hometown-Wan.

Yuan Wanli grew up alive and well, with a gentle and elegant father and a well-educated mother, but this little guy has grown into a lively and domineering character, spoiled by the whole family.The Yuan family's love for Yuan Sanlang and the eldest grandson has empathized with Yuan Wanli.Since the eldest grandson gave birth to a child, Mrs. Wen Jinhou seemed to have let go of a lot of her worries, and paid less attention to Yuan Sanlang. The couple lived a peaceful and stable life in the Yuan family compound.

In other words, all the inner courtyards in the world are similar, but there is a difference between strong wind and small wind, but the eldest grandson can find the most sense of belonging here, maybe because her husband and son are here, maybe because there is hope for such a day .

When Yuan Wanli was three years old, a big event happened.

The prince rebelled. During the autumn hunt, Marquis Wenjin bravely rescued him from Iron Net Mountain surrounded by the imperial army. A sharp arrow shot into his abdomen, bleeding so much that the imperial physician dared not pull out the arrow.When the person was sent back, the bleeding was barely stopped, but Wen Jinhou's face was pale and he had already passed out.

The imperial doctor who accompanied him was specially assigned by the emperor to treat Wen Jinhou's injuries. He was forced to come here when there were not enough doctors and wounded in Iron Net Mountain.

The whole family cried and asked the imperial doctor to treat him quickly, but the imperial doctor explained helplessly: "Mrs. Hou, it's not that you don't try your best when you are an official. It's really hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. To draw an arrow for Marquis Wenjin, at least a thousand-year-old ginseng must hang his breath. There is also the best Tian Qi to stop bleeding, and such precious medicinal materials, the lower officials don't even have it."

"Is there no hospital? Is there no pharmacy?" Mrs. Wen Jinhou repeatedly asked in a broken voice. She knew that Wenjinhou's mansion didn't have these things, and they weren't in the business of medicinal materials. What are they doing here?

"Now Iron Net Mountain... In short, the stocks of the imperial hospital and the major pharmacies in the capital have been shipped over, even if there is fear in the palace, it will be too late." The imperial physician Chen Ken said, it's not that he is timid and dare not take responsibility, it's just that there is no good. For medicinal materials, Marquis Wen Jin is very old, so the chance of surviving is less than [-]%.If it's not relative, how dare the imperial doctor take risks.

Everyone knew what the imperial doctor said, and suddenly there was a burst of crying.

The eldest grandson had already prepared for this, she obliquely reminded Yuan Sanlang to make the father-in-law pay attention to safety, and in the name of filial piety, gave gifts to the father-in-law and mother-in-law, and the one for the father-in-law was a soft armor.It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, and all preparations have not come in handy.

Amidst the cries of the crowd, the eldest grandson's personal girl came over with a box in her arms, and the eldest grandson came over with the box in hand, handed it to the imperial physician, and asked calmly, "Please take a look, imperial physician, does this medicinal material meet your requirements?"

The eldest grandson opened the big mahogany box and introduced them one by one: "Thousand-year-old ginseng, countless heads of Tian Qi, and the astringent and hemostatic medicine Agrimony from overseas, what medicinal materials does the imperial doctor need, please just order, nothing is important to human life .”

"Okay, okay, okay, yes, yes, yes, imperial doctor, what more medicinal materials do you need, just say, we will try our best!" Mrs. Wen Jinhou said repeatedly.

Now the family is considered to be headed by a woman, Wen Jinhou is lying on the bed, and the prince is running around outside, asking for news.Looking at Wen Jinhou's body like this, Yuan Sanlang's body was directly irritated, and now he was resting on a chair with difficulty breathing.The two younger uncles were busy, but managed the outer courtyard.As for the concubine's second elder brother, he has already been released as an official. Even if he is at home, Mrs. Wen Jinhou must not worry about him.

As a last resort, the eldest grandson took the limelight.

The imperial physician took a closer look at the quality of the medicinal materials, prescribe the medicine boy, and told Yuan's family to prepare the things needed to draw the arrow, and to write the precautions by themselves.

Because he was afraid that the woman would be timid, he would howl and startled the imperial physician, and if the imperial physician shook his hand, Marquis Wen Jin would die.As a result, everyone was herded outside their bedrooms to wait.

Mrs. Wen Jinhou kept walking back and forth outside the door, and Mrs. Shizi repeatedly comforted her, but her eldest grandson didn't go up to show her filial piety. She just put her purse under Yuan Sanlang's nose. There was mint in it. It will be much more comfortable to smell.

Yuan Sanlang's health was not ordinary, especially he couldn't stand stimulation. After waiting for a while, they Suyun brought a lot of Dingjing soup, which was made by the small kitchen in their yard.

"Mother, sister-in-law, I asked the servants to boil some Dingjing soup, you can drink some. Now that the public is in danger, and there are two more to take care of the family, don't get tired." The eldest grandson said softly.

"Alas~" Mrs. Wen Jinhou sighed, picked up the small bowl on the table, drank it in one gulp, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, but you still have an idea, thanks to your medicinal materials. If the master escapes this time After one calamity, I will remember your first merit."

"Mother, you're being polite. We're all a family, and I should do everything." The eldest grandson declined.She really didn't want anything to happen to Marquis Wen Jin. In his previous life, he didn't get through it. Although the eldest son succeeded him in his place, the Yuan family's momentum was not as good as before, and they were framed by villains again.Even Yuan Sanlang's independent son was implicated, and a large sum of money was used to fill the hole. In the end, Yuan Sanlang didn't even have the money to buy medicine.

"En." Mrs. Wen Jinhou didn't say much, she just waited for the news silently.

Mrs. Shizi looked at her eldest grandson a few times as if inadvertently. The eldest grandson caught her looking over, nodded and smiled calmly.

"Sanlang is exhausted, the third child, please help him go down to rest first." Mrs. Wen Jinhou said distressedly to her son.

"No, I'll just wait here. I'm useless. If I can't help the family a little, let me do my filial piety here."

Mrs. Wen Jinhou looked at his pale face and nodded silently.

The whole family stayed outside the bedroom, and there was no need for lunch or dinner. At night, the imperial doctor came out of the bedroom wearily, and said, "It's all right."

After hearing these words, Mrs. Wen Jinhou was about to sit down as soon as her legs gave way, but her eldest grandson hurriedly supported her.Helping Mrs. Wen Jinhou to the chair, the imperial physician felt the pulse and said, "Ma'am is fine, but I have been standing for a long time, and I have been hungry for a long time. Please rest assured, Mrs. Hou is fine."

"Thank you, Imperial Physician, thank you Imperial Physician." Mrs. Shi Zi hurriedly poured tea and water for Mrs. Wen Jinhou, and expressed her filial piety by touching her chest and back.The eldest grandson vacated the seat silently, came to the imperial physician who was packing the medical box, and said with a blessing, "Please trouble the imperial physician to write a line to pay attention to the taboos. The family has never experienced such a big battle. It is really frightening. I am rude." , please forgive me."

The imperial physician stroked his beard and said, "Third Madam, you are welcome, it is my duty to be an official."

The imperial physician ordered the medicine boy to grind the ink, and waved away.The eldest grandson stood a little further away, watching him write.When the imperial doctor wrote too scribbled and couldn't recognize it, I asked aloud, and when I encountered something written too broadly and didn't understand, I asked for advice in a low voice, and finally wrote three pages.

After the imperial physician drank tea and had a good rest, Suyun presented her with a purse, and the imperial physician resigned.Now Wen Jinhou and Shi Zi's wife are both busy, so they don't have time to talk to the imperial physician.

Mrs. Wen Jinhou's heart was on her husband who was lying on the bed. The eldest grandson went in and quietly gave Mrs. Shizi the instructions written by the imperial physician.

The biggest guarantee of life in the future is safety, and the eldest grandson helped her husband back to the yard. According to the experience of the eldest grandson, he was frightened and stayed up all night, so he was bound to be ill.

Sure enough, Yuan Sanlang had a high fever the night he went back.The eldest grandson hurriedly waited on him, found the old medicine, but it didn't work, so he hurried to invite the imperial physician.

Fearing that the disease would be transmitted to children with weaker resistance, the eldest grandson invited his sister-in-law to take care of Yuan Wanli.Mrs. Wen Jinhou is busy taking care of the patients, Mrs. Shizi is busy with housekeeping, and the woman who is free at home is the sister-in-law.This little girl is not the eldest grandson who has ever cheated on her, she follows the rules and does not dare to be indifferent to Yuan Wanli.

The eldest grandson stayed around for two days and guarded her husband for one night. Seeing that it was getting dark outside, a girl came to replace her soon, and got up and touched Yuan Sanlang's forehead, um, it wasn't hot.The eldest grandson lay on the edge of the bed and took a nap.

When I woke up, my hands were numb, and when I moved, I found that my husband's hand was on my head.

"Are you awake?" the eldest grandson said pleasantly, ignoring the numbness of his hands, and went to touch his forehead: "Sure enough, the fever is gone, and the medicine of Imperial Physician You is really effective. You didn't eat anything yesterday. I'll ask the small kitchen to give you some food." Serve some minced meat porridge." The eldest grandson Pili said a lot and was about to leave.

Yuan Sanlang just looked at her with a quiet smile and didn't speak.

The eldest grandson made him feel embarrassed, so he sat closer and leaned over and said, "What's wrong with you, why don't you talk, is there something uncomfortable?" After speaking, he reached out to touch Yuan Sanlang's body.

Yuan Sanlang grabbed her hand, stroked it, and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work."

"Should..." Changsun was about to resign modestly, seeing the smile in Yuan Sanlang's eyes, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously, "It's as sweet as it is."

"I often think that if you marry someone else, you will definitely be blessed with a life of destiny, and you will have a bright future. You don't have to take care of me, a sick child, and you won't be able to leave the courtyard." Yuan Sanlang said a little darkly.

"Marry someone else, and then look at him with three wives and four concubines, making the house restless? Repenting and teaching your husband and son-in-law to seek a title, isn't that what you're talking about."

"You are the best at comforting me." Yuan Sanlang said.

"Listen, Yuan Liesong, Yuan Sanlang, my eldest grandson Jia married you, not just any prince or grandson, I only recognize you." The eldest grandson looked at him firmly.

"What a blessing in this life." Yuan Sanlang sighed and embraced his eldest grandson.

……

Marquis Wen Jin survived the crisis smoothly. With him at the helm, the Yuan family would not be overthrown, and the eldest grandson continued to live in the Hou Mansion with peace of mind.Now I finally understood why Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang were unwilling to leave Rongguo Mansion. It was better to lean against the big tree to enjoy the shade. What's more, the atmosphere under the big tree of the Yuan family was very good. , the performance of the eldest grandson when Marquis Wen Jin was seriously ill made Mrs. Marquis Wen Jin admiration and was very satisfied.In daily life, he also takes good care of their third room.The concubine had already been favored by the eldest grandson, and since she was a direct brother, the eldest grandson did not fight for power on weekdays. The concubine was not dissatisfied with Mrs. Wen Jinhou's actions, and she often took care of them when she was housekeeper.

When Yuan Wanli was four years old, his eldest grandson became pregnant again.

It seems that pregnancy is still very simple, especially when the mother is healthy and the father only works hard on one person.The eldest grandson gave birth to another son—Yuan Wanli. The eldest grandson was very happy about this child who had never appeared before, but he was afraid that he would lose control of his emotions and end up like Jia Mu in the original book. Never relaxed.

After Yuan Sanlang's generation had all married wives and had children, Marquis Wen Jin asked for an order to pass the title to his son on the pretext of poor health.The emperor also remembered the merits of Marquis Wenjin, and directly took over the title in his place.

The elder brother is already in charge of the family, and there is no reason for the brothers to be raised by the elder brother. The old Hou Ye is also afraid that if he closes his eyes at that time, the brothers will fight against each other. Of course, the Yuan brothers are very harmonious, and the old Hou Ye is just in case.

When the family was divided, apart from the ancestral property, imperial titles, and rewards passed down to the Xijue, everything else was divided equally into six shares. Although the second brother was a concubine, his biological mother died young, and Mrs. Wen Jinhou was not a mean person. , directly treated the same.Only their third house took two shares, it was to take care of Yuan Sanlang not to become an official, and it was also a credit to the eldest grandson.

After the separation, the old Lord Hou and the old lady were still alive. Although Yuan Sanlang's family moved out of the Hou's mansion, they only lived in the Wujin courtyard across the street, so that they could often pay their respects to the two old people.

When the two old people left, Yuan Sanlang took his eldest grandson and two children to his hometown in Anhui.

The eldest grandson is very fascinated by the architecture and food of the Hui style, and he has found a hobby here, and often draws down the places he thinks are interesting to entertain himself.

Yuan Sanlang's body has improved a lot after these years of Tianbao's recuperation, and he has made a name in the Yuan family's family history.Gradually, the time worked for a long time, from the name to the master, and finally became the head of the mountain.

The Yuan Family School is well-known in one prefecture and one county, and it is also famous in Anhui, but it is not a university in the whole country, and Yuan Sanlang is still just an ordinary literati, without being famous or famous.But the eldest grandson loves such an ordinary life. She has already tried to become famous all over the world, but in the eyes of a little woman, such a day is nothing compared to the gentle warmth, or cooking a small dish for her husband and son.

Yuan Sanlang was limited by his body all his life, and after his eldest grandson married, she was always the only one.The two raised their two children together, and their children were filial and intelligent, they entered the officialdom early, and with the support of Wenjinhou Mansion in the capital, their prospects were not bad.

When Yuan Sanlang went, he was already 60 years old, and his eldest grandson sent him away peacefully.

Seeing that the two sons have gained a firm foothold in the court, they even have grandsons, and the eldest grandson has nothing to worry about.On the second day of Yuan Sanlang's death, he followed him.

……

Yuan Wanli Extra Story

Capital, Yuan Mansion.

Yuan Wanli received a letter from his second brother, asking if he wanted to return to his hometown this year.Yuan Wanli has now become the chief assistant, and it is not easy to leave the whole thing behind and return to Anhui.

Yuan Wanli thought over and over again, and could only reply "try my best" to his second brother.

Alas, this year is the twentieth anniversary of the death of my parents, so I should go back and have a look anyway, but now with the complicated political affairs of the court... Yuan Wanli sighed helplessly, walked to the Duobao Pavilion in the study, from In a red sandalwood box, I dug out the letters my parents wrote to me, looking for memories of my youth.

Yuan Wanli's initial impression of his life was slow.slow!Gentle and gentle. When I was still in the Wenjinhou Mansion in the capital, the small courtyard of their house had the slowest rhythm. Meals would take half an hour. Parents walked slowly, talked slowly, and did things even more slowly. .Drawing, writing, and playing chess are all activities with little activity. The young Yuan Wanli is a child with ADHD and can't adapt to such an atmosphere at all. I don't understand why all the uncles in the family like this slow courtyard. own parents.

Yuan Wanli jumped up and down in the Hou Mansion every day, and loved to go out with the eldest brother of the uncle's family, especially to go hunting in the suburbs of Beijing. Later, the eldest brother was locked up in the academy, and the second and third brothers took over.Yuan Wanli is the sixth eldest, his fourth and fifth elder brothers were sent out with his second uncle, and they have not met yet.When he was the only eldest in the Hou's mansion, he would lead a group of smaller ones to harm the garden of the mansion every day, and when the adults couldn't bear to pack them into the family school in the capital, they went to make trouble at the family school again.

When Yuan Wanli was a child, the most painful thing every day was being pressured by his parents to practice big characters. Sitting at the front of the desk for half an hour almost killed him. Yuan Wanli really hated practicing calligraphy.

However, when the master of the family school praised him as "spiritual and the most diligent", he still couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. When the teacher used his words as a model and posted them on the back wall of the family school, he made a special effort every day. Go under that wall ten times.In the end, when the boy with a foreign surname who fought with him in the family school was suppressed by his father to make amends, and when he looked at other people's fathers and admired his own father so much, and said all the good things, just to ask for a word, Yuan Wanli finally It is intuitively felt that there is something more powerful than a fist.

When he moved out of Marquis Wenjin's mansion, Yuan Wanli felt that he had grown up all of a sudden, and it turned out that such a magnificent place was not his forever home.When he moved to his own house, even though he could live in a spacious yard by himself, and the house was also a five-entry mansion with a garden and rockery, Yuan Wanli felt that something was missing.

After tossing around in the garden twice with his own brother, Yuan Wanli finally sat down on the steps of the corridor sadly, resting his chin on one hand, thinking about life.

"Brother, look quickly, look quickly, I've caught a butterfly, a butterfly!" Yuan Wanxi happily ran over catching a colorful butterfly, sweating profusely to show his brother the result of his victory.

Yuan Wanli glanced at it disinterestedly, and lazily said: "You're not a girl, what are you doing catching butterflies?"

"Boys can't catch butterflies?" Yuan Wanxuan asked in disbelief.

"Look at those portraits, there are only pictures of women fluttering butterflies, where is there pictures of men playing butterflies, isn't it?" Yuan Wanli said, teaching him the fallacy.

"It seems to be." Yuan Wan slammed down, unable to find the excitement just now, and directly let the butterfly fly, sat next to his brother, and asked, "Why don't you catch fish, why don't we go to climb the rockery?" Bar."

"No, mother knows that you are going to climb a rockery, and today's dinner is a celery feast."

"Ah, forget it, how can there be such a thing as celery in the world." Yuan Wanxuan complained, "Brother, let's go to the stable to see the little black beans."

Yuan Wanli waved his hand, not interested in his brother's proposal at all.

"Brother, what's the matter with you, why don't you want to play anymore."

"Stupid, let me ask you, don't you think our house is different from the Hou's Mansion?" Yuan Wanli asked.

"What's the difference? Oh, we don't have a lake in our house, it doesn't matter. As long as we both take the first place in the class in the home-school exam this time, Daddy will demolish the back room and dig a lotus pond."

"It's not the lotus pond. I mean, don't you think there's something wrong with our house compared to the Hou's mansion? I feel that the family is slow and quiet. When I walk in, I feel that I should lower my voice, Slow down." Yuan Wanli was very puzzled by this point.

"That's because parents are slow!"

"It's not just because of my parents. My parents have gone out to visit, and the guests who come to our house will still do the same." Yuan Wanli stood up, tried to imitate the appearance of adults, and tried to put on a calm and calm posture.

"Oh, that's because of our house." Yuan Wanxi clapped his hands and said, "Our house never uses reflective tiles, and the beams and pillars are never painted in bright colors. The furniture in the house is made of boxwood and pear wood. , I never use red sandalwood and mahogany, that's the reason. There may be servants, they are all trained by parents, they look like masters~"

Yuan Wanli was stunned for a moment, as if it was true, he glanced at his younger brother in surprise, unexpectedly, he was not stupid, he knew it all.

Just this afternoon, Yuan Wanli suddenly understood a series of truths such as "environment affects people", "you can't underestimate others, everyone has their own abilities", "be good at observation and start with details".His parents had told him about it before, but he only knew these principles all the time, and didn't have a deep understanding. Today, he suddenly understood like an eminent monk had an epiphany.

Yuan Wanli found out from the details of life that he is now studying harder than he is living in the Hou's Mansion.The calm and unruly mentality taught by his parents also helped him go further.

After moving to Anhui, I spent a colorful teenage years. I didn’t rank well in the palace examination. My mother comforted me, “There are a few champions who can be the first assistant, and they don’t depend on the rankings in the palace examination.”

When she said that she was 40 years old, and she was still only a third rank, and she seemed to have no chance to be called a "senior officer" in this life, her mother comforted herself, "Living is the greatest victory, and just wait, there will be a chance." Keeping one's law and order, as expected, three promotions per month, people who were smarter and more capable than themselves all resigned because of the suspicion of the first emperor and the suspicion of colleagues, but he was still there, and he was the one who became the chief assistant in the end.

Yuan Wanli flipped through the letters in the box, and there were one or two small things that were given to him by his parents when he was a child, and the longing for his parents overflowed in his heart.

At this moment, a boy in green clothes and a hat gave Yuan Wanli a note.Yuan Wanli took a look, it turned out that the third generation emperor he served, this young emperor, wanted to eliminate the auxiliary ministers, and arranged to do it in the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Yuan Wanli sighed, got up to write the paper, told the old man, even if he couldn't do it, he still had to ask for leave, it was approaching the [-]th anniversary of his parents' death, so he had to go back if he wanted to.

When the time comes, send the clothes and crown documents back to the capital directly, and I will accompany my parents and live in Anhui for the elderly.
