The Coral of the Red Mansion Does Not Return
Work related
Mother Lin couldn't help but praise.
Feeling his mother's scrutiny, Lin Ruhai couldn't help straightening his body. After hearing his mother's reputation, his pale face couldn't help but blush.
Mother Lin looked at her son with unstoppable pride.Although she thinks that her son is more than enough to be a prostitute in the Duke's mansion, she can't ignore her son's wishes.
"My son, do you still remember what your father told you before he left?"
Lin Ruhai said solemnly: "Before my father passed away, he chose the word 'Ruhai' for me. I hope that my Wen Lin Ruhai can pass the Jinshi examination, become an official and revitalize my Lin family."
Mother Lin said gratifiedly: "My son's learning has been praised by the great Confucian Sun Siyuan and Master Sun. I don't worry about it. It's just that my son's marriage has always been a problem of mine." Lin's mother sometimes wondered Well, she might as well just die. In this way, some people who can't bear their daughter to be rubbed by their mother-in-law marry their daughter to the Lin family, so that she can follow Father Lin.It's just that Ru Hai's marriage, after all, she still needs to be involved, and this year is the year of the competition, if Ru Hai misses it, she will have to wait another three years.
As it was about the imperial examination, Lin Ruhai kept his mouth shut. He had confidence in himself, but he couldn't speak too much.
Mother Lin looked at Lin Ruhai lovingly, and asked, "What does my son think of Jia Guogong's daughter?"
Could it be?Lin Ruhai looked at Mother Lin in disbelief.
Mother Lin nodded slightly.
Lin Ruhai was ecstatic at first, but then calmed down when he thought of the prominent family of the Jia family and the two families.
"Mother, here, what virtue and ability do I have, I am fortunate to have Jia Guogong's favor."
"My son, don't underestimate yourself. Young people are rare, and how many people are in Shilu's family? As the saying goes, a high family marry a daughter-in-law, and a low family marry a daughter. I think the two families are well matched."
Lin Ruhai was a little shy, but he also knew that even though he was a low-marriage, his knowledge and the achievements of the Lin family ancestors were not considered humiliating.
"My son, you will be filial piety in a few days. Your mother is seriously ill. Then you will visit Rongguo Mansion in person."
Lin Ruhai nodded and said, "Mr. Rong Guo found a good doctor for my Lin family. I should have gone to his house to thank him."
After seeing his mother, Lin Ruhai went to the study and read quietly for a while.Holding the scroll in her hand, Lin Ruhai couldn't help thinking about this marriage in her mind.
Both parents have their wishes, and whether the marriage can be completed still needs to be discussed.
With the other hand, Lin Ruhai tapped on the desk lightly.
The marriage with the Rongguo Mansion undoubtedly benefited the Lin family the most.Rong Guogong is now holding a spare job, and he can still enter the palace to face the saint. With such a Yue family, Lin Ruhai is also talented and knowledgeable, and he was able to attract the attention of the emperor in the early days.Although Lin Ruhai can make his way to the top by himself, but it will be the year of the monkey. The Lin family has never lived a long life. If Lin Ruhai wants to enter the cabinet, I'm afraid I can't afford to wait.
The fact that he had to rely on the support of the Yue family made Lin Ruhai a little frustrated, but he soon cheered up.The in-laws were meant to support each other, and Rong Guogong chose to be close to the noble and scholarly family to get married, so why didn't he want the Lin family to support the next generation of Rong Guo Mansion?I heard that Rong Guogong's two grandsons are both studying.
After the Lin Mansion was removed from service, Lin Ruhai really handed over a greeting card to the Rongguo Mansion.
On this day, the wind was sunny and the autumn was crisp, Jia Daishan saw Lin Ruhai in the study.
"En, not bad, not bad." Jia Daishan stroked his beard and said, "However, the body of a mere human..."
"Why don't you wait for your nephew to pass the Jinshi exam, and then propose marriage to Shi Boqian?"
Jia Daishan was delighted, "Is my nephew sure?"
"The teacher said that if I try my best, I may succeed."
Literati are very modest in their speech, and they may hit it, but if there is no accident, they will definitely hit it.
"Okay! Nephew has this confidence, then I will wait for the good news."
The two agreed that they would come to Rongguo Mansion to propose marriage when Lin Ruhai was a Jinshi in high school.Jia Daishan mentioned his second son again: "My second son Mingzheng, whose name is Cunzhou, also participated in the last Qiu Wei, but unfortunately his name fell to Sun Shan. My nephew is already a juren, can you give me some pointers for him?"
"Don't dare. Brother Cun Zhou is an upright person with a wide reputation. Ru Hai dare not point out Brother Cun Zhou's knowledge, but hopes to discuss it with him."
Today when Lin Ruhai came to Jia's mansion, Jia Hu didn't have to study, and stayed in the small study with his arms dangling to write big characters.As I was writing, I heard people chattering outside.Jia Hu frowned, but continued to write, his strokes were extremely serious, his arms were sore, and he didn't stop.A quarter of an hour later, when Jia Hu finished writing the last word and was satisfied that every one of them was well written, she stopped, called the servant outside, and asked what was the matter.
A boy of seven or eight years old came in.His eyes rolled around, and he was clever at first glance.He was Jia Hu's playmate chosen by his grandfather, he was the same age as Jia Hu, and Jia Hu gave him the name Hegui.
Hegui said that a guest came to see the master and was drinking tea in the study when Master Zheng also came over.
guest?Jia Hu raised her eyebrows, she didn't know who was able to make Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng share the same room.Jia Zheng has always looked down on Jia She and his friends, and he has never entered Jia She's study.
Jia Hu had a smile on the corner of his mouth, he really wanted to know what kind of guest it was.
The opportunity came soon, and Jia She ordered someone to invite Jia Hu to his study to meet the guests.
"Brother Ru Hai, let's take a look, how about this ancient fan?"
"Polygonatum odoratum fan bones are reddish-brown and patinaed, probably very old; the fan surface..."
It seems that this is Lin Ruhai.Jia Hu looked at the picture with interest. Jia She took Lin Ruhai to appreciate the fan, and didn't say a word to Jia Zheng. Jia Zheng occasionally added a few unpleasant words, and only Lin Ruhai answered.
Lin Ruhai really felt a headache. All the children followed the "family ugliness should not be publicized". If there were any conflicts, they would not show it when outsiders were around.I don't know what's going on with these two, really... When Lin Ruhai turned around, he found a seven or eight-year-old child looking up at him brightly, and couldn't help laughing.
"Brother Enhou, this is?"
"This is my eldest son, Jia Hu!" Jia She smiled triumphantly, "Hu'er, come to meet you Uncle Lin."
After asking, Jia Amnesty proudly showed off Jia Hu to Lin Ruhai.The Lin family has always had few descendants, and Jia Hu is clever and smart. Lin Ruhai passed Jia Hu's exams, and Jia Hu was articulate and fluent in his answers. Sometimes he had opinions that adults might not even think of. Lin Ruhai couldn't help treating him as his own son.
He asked, "Where does Hu'er study?"
"Taught by grandfather for the time being."
It turned out to be raised by the Duke of the State, Lin Ruhai admired, "It is worthy of being raised by the Duke of Rong Guo. ——Brother Enhou, it is unknown whether the young phoenix will be as good as the old phoenix in the future."
Jia Zheng stood on one side again, looked at Jia Amnesty's smiling face, and at the two children who were asking and answering, and couldn't help but regret not bringing Jia Zhu here.Don't even think about it, Jia Zhu is only three or four years old, what do you bring here? The "Three Character Classic" has not been finished.
Time passed in friendly and harmonious conversation.After Lin Ruhai left, Jia Hu went to Jia Daishan's study.There is one thing that Jia Hu only made up her mind yesterday.
"What? You want to go back to Jinling?" Jia Hu had just finished writing an stereotyped essay on "The Analects of Confucius·Xianwen" learned the other day. When Jia Hu checked the errors and was about to hand it over to his grandfather, he heard Jia Zhen say I want to go back to Jinling.
Jia Zhen touched her face in embarrassment, nodded and said, "Well, I'm going back to Jinling to take the exam."
Jia Hu knew that after the Chinese New Year last year, Jia Zhen went back to Jinling to take the county examination in February.
"You know, the last time I went back, I passed both the county examination and the government examination, but not the hospital examination."
Jia Hu nodded and asked, "Is this your own idea? Did grandfather agree?"
Jia Zhen said with some embarrassment: "My father said it. He said that my fire is enough. ——I won't study here when I pass the examination of scholar."
"Why?" Jia Hu was anxious.When I was studying, I was so lonely without my friends.After a break, no one talked.
Jia Zhen looked at Jia Hu apologetically: "Father said that uncle is not in good health, so it is not appropriate to bother him anymore. Father asked me to go home and learn to read."
Thinking of Jia Daishan coughing from time to time since autumn, Jia Hu was silent.There are more things to learn in the exam. The Four Books and Five Classics are just a foundation, and my grandfather's body cannot bear so much.
Jia Hu was depressed for a while.Jia Zhen looked at this cousin. At first, he had the idea of taking care of him. After getting along gradually, Jia Zhen really regarded this precocious cousin as her friend.
"It's a pity that I can't accompany you," Jia Hu said disappointedly, "Grandpa won't agree."
Jia Zhen immediately blacked out.Speaking out really hurt Jia Zhen's self-confidence, even though Jia Hu has only been studying for more than three years, his progress is almost catching up with him.Of course, Jia Daishan was not so eager for success, and his progress was very slow, and he was about to finish teaching "The Analects of Confucius" now, but... a year ago, Jia Hu was listening to Jia Zhen's class, and he really understood it. Jia Daishan did not hesitate to answer the questions raised.In the end, if there was anything she didn’t understand, Jia Zhen asked Jia Hu directly /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~
"If you want to take the exam, you have to start with the county exam. The county exam will be in February next year at the earliest. At that time, I have finished all the college exams." Jia Zhen complained, he didn't want to bring Jia Hu back to Jinling.Fortunately, he refused at the beginning, otherwise, his cousin and his cousin took the talent test together, and his cousin who was so many years younger than himself would rank higher than his cousin, so he would lose face.
Hearing this, Jia Hu was even more lost.In despair, he handed the stereotyped essay he had just finished to Jia Daishan, and asked, "Grandfather, how about I take the Tongsheng examination next year?"
The author has something to say: the new chapter has dropped, and there is another update today~ Make up for the ones that haven't been updated a few days ago~
Don't scatter flowers carelessly~ Maybe the author Jun will come to the third watch when he is happy~
☆, Jia Hu moved out of the outer courtyard
Jia Hu looked at Jia Daishan expectantly, Jia Daishan reprimanded helplessly: "Nonsense!"
Jia Hu was relentless, and Jia Daishan had nothing to do with him.Strange to say, his two sons are very afraid of him, even Jia Zhu, who is only three years old, is very afraid of his majestic grandfather, but this eldest grandson is not so afraid.
"Hu'er, how old are you, how can we trust you to go to Jinling?"
"I can go with Big Brother Jane."
Jia Daishan laughed, and said with a stern face: "Zhen'er is leaving this autumn, the college entrance examination, the county examination is in February, do you want Zhen'er to stay in Jinling for one more year because of you?"
Jia Hu smiled and said, "Grandfather really has confidence in me." Jia Zhen stayed in Jinling for one more year, which meant that Jia Hu passed the county and government examinations, and then took the hospital examination.Otherwise, half a year is enough.
Jia Daishan looked at his grandson with some pride, and even nodded and admitted: "Yes, I taught Zhen'er, and you are no worse than him in learning next to him. Even if you go to the exam, you can pass it."
Jia Hu looked at him in surprise.Don't look at what he said well, he has no idea in his heart.After all, he was not born and raised here, and Jia Hu wasn't sure if he could use what he had learned over the years.
"However, Hu'er, if a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it. It's not uncommon for an eight- or nine-year-old scholar to have a literary style in the south of the Yangtze River, but a noble family is very rare." Jia Daishan said solemnly, "At least until I die. Only then can you go to the Tongsheng examination."
Jia Hu's heart was shaken. Has the Jia family declined to such an extent?
Then through Jia Daishan's words, Jia Hu understood: it's not that the Jia family can't protect a young genius, but that the current situation is not suitable.Next, Jia Daishan said a lot to him, all about government affairs and the Jia family, as if skipping Jia's amnesty, and cultivating Jia Hu as the heir of the Jia family.
When Rong Guogong was still alive, the emperor was very jealous of Jia's influence in the army.The Jia family married the Wang family again, and the Wang family's prince Teng was at the right time. If Jia Hu was too outstanding, he would undoubtedly be a piece of cake in the eyes of the princes who would grow up.The last time Jia Amnesty stood in the right team, this time he got involved again, regardless of whether he would be successful or not, it must be very taboo when he is still there today, and by then, the master he followed might not be able to keep the Jia family.
Concubine Shu, who is now close to the Jia family, happens to have only two daughters, and without a son, the Jia family has no risk of standing in line.Jia Daishan once thought that if Jia Hu didn't like reading as much as Jia She, let him be the Lord. With the relationship between Liu Shi and Concubine Shu, marrying Concubine Shu's youngest daughter can continue the glory and wealth of another generation.Fortunately, Jia Hu's talent is outstanding, so the Jia family doesn't have to rely on nepotism.
These two passages kept appearing in Jia Hu's mind. Last night, Jia Hu tossed and turned, thought for a long time, and finally made up his mind.So, after seeing Lin Ruhai, Jia Hu went to Jia Daishan's study after finishing his homework.
"Hu'er, didn't you rest today? Why did you come to my place?" Jia Daishan wondered why Jia Hu was not afraid of him, but he didn't know how soft his face was when he faced this intelligent, sensible and young grandson.At this time, he was reading a book and was disturbed, but he was not annoyed, and looked at Jia Hu almost lovingly.
"Grandfather, Hu'er has something to say to Grandpa."
Guessing from Jia Hu's suspicious expression that the matter might be serious, Jia Daishan paused, waved his hand to tell Jia Hu not to speak, and ordered his servants to open the doors and windows. A few confidantes waited at the doors and windows, and the others stood far away, unless He called, and no one could approach the study.Then he asked, "What's the matter?"
No one knew what Jia Hu said to Rong Guogong, but from this day on, Jia Hu stayed in Lixiangyuan for a longer time, and Rong Guogong valued Jia Hu more and more day by day.
Seeing that Jia Hu is favored by Duke Rong even more than before, Mrs. Wang is the most anxious person in the Rongguo Mansion.
"Where is the master? Are you still in the study?"
Zhou Rui's family returned in trepidation: "Madam, the master came back from the study and went directly to Aunt Zhao."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang gritted her silver teeth, pulled her handkerchief, and spat: "This little hoof!"
After finishing speaking, he lowered his voice and asked, "Has everyone been arranged?"
Zhou Rui's family came up to Mrs. Wang, and smiled shyly: "If you go back to your wife, we have already arranged it." He covered his mouth with a handkerchief and smiled: "It's a pity that little hoof thought he had won. Ask your wife for help. I don't even want to see if I can win over."
Saying that, Zhou Rui's family stretched out a few fingers, waved them in front of Mrs. Wang, and said mysteriously: "Madam, guess what? Aunt Zhao rewarded Liu'er with a purse, which was bulging. Who knew it was full of copper coins!" I'm so angry with Liu'er, who doesn't know that Liu'er works here with his wife, and the wife always rewards her with silver? It's only two hundred dollars, and Liu'er's monthly money is not enough..." Zhou Rui's family made a lot of belittlement.
There was a smile on the corner of Mrs. Wang's mouth, and her tone was light, "It's just a few taels of silver, look at her shallow eyelids." She raised her voice and called, "Jin Chuan'er, take ten taels of silver and give it to Zhou Rui's family——Zhou Rui's family Yes, send it to Liu'er, and tell me I rewarded it, and when you get there, be a good person, don't be like Aunt Zhao."
"Hey!" Zhou Rui's family took the money from Jin Chuan'er and narrowed their eyes with a smile.After thanking his wife, he twisted his body and went to the small courtyard where Aunt Zhao lived.On the way, seeing no one was there, he went to his own house first.
Auntie was supposed to be treated the same as the maids, living in the wife's corner room, but Aunt Zhao was favored by Mr. Zheng. With a wave of his hand, Mr. Zheng chose a small courtyard in the west and moved all the aunts there.Mr. Zheng only has two aunts. Aunt Zhou is a dull-tempered woman who is always lifeless and doesn’t please him.
When Zhou Rui's family arrived at Aunt Zhao's small courtyard, they just heard Aunt Zhao making a fuss, pointing at Sang and scolding Huai in vulgar language, and Zhou Rui's family didn't care about her.He just quietly called a little girl to replace Liu'er.
"Liu'er, this is five taels of silver from my wife, you should collect it first."
"Thank you, Sister Zhou." Liu'er happily put away the money and asked, "Madam, do you have something to order?"
The two of them were standing under the shade of a tree in a remote corner behind Aunt Zhao's yard, and it was very convenient to hide when someone came.Zhou Rui's family saw that there was no one around, and whispered to her: "Liu'er, you are now Aunt Zhao's maidservant, if there is any movement on Aunt Zhao's body, please report to me."
Liu'er nodded, and heard Aunt Zhao yell angrily: "Liu'er? Liu'er! Where are you slacking off, you damn girl?!" He hurriedly responded: "Auntie, I'm here!" Farewell in a hurry Zhou Rui's family.
Zhou Rui's family returned to Mrs. Wang's yard. Mrs. Wang was frowning. Seeing her come back, she beckoned and said, "Zhou Rui's family, come here and look at this picture."
Zhou Rui's family took a rough look, "Is Madam going to tidy up the yard for someone to live in?"
"Who else is there besides Brother Hu in Dafang? They are seven or eight years old, and it's shameful to stay in the backyard all the time. Although my sister-in-law didn't tell me, as an aunt, I have to think about him."
Zhou Rui's family and Mrs. Wang looked at each other, and they both remembered that Mrs. Wang was now the housekeeper.Zhou Rui's family thought about the oil and water that this errand might have, and calculated how much they could scrape from it.And Mrs. Wang used a handkerchief to cover the corners of her raised mouth. She arranged the manpower in the whole yard, so there should not be too much room for manipulation.
"Which yard did Madam take her fancy to?"
"Neng, look at these three, one is on the west side, a small and exquisite courtyard, exquisite is exquisite, but it is too far away from the backyard. There is also this one, Songtao Courtyard, which is simple and atmospheric, just in Rongxi Hall and Lanfang Courtyard The last one, the yard is very big, and it is also close to the small garden, but it is too far away, not far from the Pear Fragrance Courtyard where Grandpa Guo rests, I thought, it would be convenient for Brother Hu to go to school."
"Does the lady prefer the last one?"
Mrs. Wang was silent.
Seeing this, Zhou Rui's family persuaded with winking eyes: "Madam, why bother with the big house? You are kind to brother Hu, but he may not appreciate it, but doubts your intentions. According to slaves, it is better to keep these three yards. Mention them all, let the big house choose, and when the yard is not good, it’s not the wife’s fault.”
"You're right," Mrs. Wang stroked her nails, and said slowly, "I'm a fool." Then she sighed, "It's a pity that I gave birth to Pearl too late, and I don't know if Pearl is still alive." It’s a blessing to be able to live in Shotoin.”
It turned out that the wife wanted Brother Zhu to live in Songtao Courtyard?Zhou Rui's family was a little surprised.The gates of Songtao Courtyard, Lanfang Courtyard, Rongxi Hall and Rongguo Mansion are on the central axis of Rongfu. Needless to say, Rongxi Hall is Lanfang Courtyard, which is also the residence of Chengjue. Although Songtao Courtyard is empty, Only people with big houses can live in it, right?
"It's too early for Madam to say this," Zhou Rui's family persuaded tactfully, "Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Duke thinks highly of Brother Hu..."
Mrs. Wang lowered her head and thought, no matter how old Jia Hu is, it will be hard to do anything.As early as when she heard that Mrs. Shi was partial to her youngest son, Mrs. Wang had been estimating the possibility of her second wife becoming a lord.I didn't expect Duke Rong's life to be so long. What's the use of Mrs. Shi's preference?Jia Zheng is also a wimp, and he couldn't even pass the exam.I can only count on myself a little bit.
After everyone had dinner in the evening, Mrs. Wang mentioned the matter of changing the yard.
Mrs. Liu looked at Mrs. Wang with apologetic eyes, "I, as a mother, have already forgotten about it, so my younger siblings have to worry about it."
Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "Where is it? My sister-in-law is also busy taking care of Miss Ying. This matter should be worried about by the housekeeper. Don't blame me for being troublesome, sister-in-law."
Jia Min spoke quickly: "The two sisters-in-law have worked hard, I wonder which yard the second sister-in-law is optimistic about?"
"It stands to reason that we should move to Songtao Courtyard, but I think Liuyun Court next to the small garden is also very good, not to mention the big yard, the key is that it is close to Pear Fragrance Courtyard, and it is also convenient for Brother Hu to go to and from school." ——Old lady Which one do you think is better?" Mrs. Wang said with a sweet smile.
Just as Jia's mother was about to talk about Liuyunyuan, she heard Jia Daishan's deep voice, "What's there to say? Hu'er is the eldest son of Dafang, so naturally he should live in Songtaoyuan."
After Jia Daishan spoke, everyone fell silent.The matter of Jia Hu moving out of the inner courtyard was finalized.
The author has something to say: I saw a relative reply that Jia Min gave ginseng soup and Jia Zhengtong had a miscarriage in another article.I have seen this article before, and when I wrote it, I remembered it and used it.But apart from this behavior, everyone can see that the mastermind behind the scenes is Mrs. Wang, right?Also, the five-element grass is used for poisoning, and these are different.In fact, I just wanted to write Five Elements Grass [Khan], but I didn’t think of a good way, so I borrowed a stalk.Does anyone know if this is plagiarism?
☆, Aggrieved Mother Jia
One night afterwards, Mrs. Liu hugged Jia Hu distressedly, and said with some worry: "Hu'er, if you move to the outer courtyard, you will be far away from your mother."
Jia Hu was a little helpless. His schoolwork had become heavier these days. Except for sleeping in Lanfangyuan, he basically stayed in Lixiangyuan.Even Jia Ying spent less time playing with her.
"Come on, Ying'er, call me brother." Jia Hu took a small rattle and twitched it, which caught Jia Ying's attention and teased her to talk.
The little girl showed a toothless smile and clapped her hands, seeming to recognize this little boy who played with her every day, and her face was drooling.
Liu watched their interaction lovingly, and wiped Jia Ying's saliva with a handkerchief.
"Why is it suddenly so busy recently? I didn't see anyone early in the morning, and I only saw you at breakfast and evening."
"Well, the time for martial arts training in the morning has been brought forward, and my grandfather is lecturing all day long."
Liu was a little worried: "Will this body be too much?"
Jia Hu smiled, "Mother, don't worry. Apart from studying and practicing martial arts, Hu'er has nothing to do."
At this time, Jia She, who had been teasing Jia Ying, interjected, "Half-year-old, he has boundless energy. If he is restrained from studying, it will save him from causing trouble everywhere."
After hearing this, Mrs. Liu was a little unhappy: "What did Enhou say?! Hu'er never made me worry about it. Hu'er, don't listen to your father's nonsense. If you are naughty, mother will be happier. "
After Jia Amnesty heard this, he was a little embarrassed, and instead of talking with the mother and son, he just hugged Jia Ying and taught her how to speak.
Since he was a child, he has shown a well-behaved and sensible appearance, and Jia Hu also knows that even though what Jia She said is not pleasant, he also loves himself in his heart.Jia Hu listened to Liu's instructions with a smile.
Mrs. Liu chattered for a long time about the yard where Jia Hu was going to move.
"In the outer courtyard, Songtao Courtyard is the closest courtyard to Lanfang Courtyard. Besides saying hello, you also have to come and have a look at it. Even if I'm busy, it's good to play with my sister for a while. Don't alienate your biological brothers and sisters. .”
"Yes, mother."
"Your yard, according to your idea, is also repaired. Let's see if there is anything to be modified tomorrow, and then let me know."
"Okay, mother."
"Tomorrow, I will open the storeroom to see if there is anything I need to buy. Let me think about it. The Duan Inkstone from the Moonlight in the Lotus Pond in my dowry is very good, and I will send it to your study tomorrow. Ah, there are also Xue Taojian, Shang Hao Hubi, old curry Song Dynasty pine smoke ink is also better..."
"Mother, you don't need these good things on weekdays." Jia Hu felt helpless.
Jia Shen said again: "Who says it's not necessary? Everyone's children are raised in this way, and there are no inferior things in the house. You come to my study tomorrow, and I have some good things for you." Hehe, for Jia Shen On this day, I found a lot of good things from Liulichang, not only the four treasures of the study, but also a lot of decorations, just for Jia Hu to play with.
From the bottom of his heart, Jia Hu, who was somewhat used to such "golden honor and precious jade", refused a few words, and acquiesced to the couple's arrangement.
Mrs. Liu said fortunately: "Fortunately, my father-in-law sent a message that day to ask Mrs. Wang to return the housekeeping rights to me, otherwise Hu'er's yard would be really difficult to manage."
Jia Amnesty also felt a little strange, his father had always ignored these things in his previous life.However, thinking of Jia Hu's unexpected talent for reading in this life, Jia Amnesty felt a little relieved.At this time, he was already able to distinguish Jia Hu from his previous life and this life very well.With Jia Ying again, besides feeling guilty about Jia Lian, Jia Amnesty has no regrets in his life when it comes to his children.
As for Yingchun and Jia Cong?Oh, concubine son and concubine daughter, Jia She never took it to heart.In the previous life, Mrs. Zhang left too early, otherwise, with the teaching of his first wife, he would never be able to raise him to the stage.
Only Jia Hu knew that his grandfather's deeds were clearly an effort made by him to wake up the hidden danger of regardless of age.At the same time, I also hope that Jia Hu will not worry too much about this kind of thing, and concentrate on what Jia Daishan taught him all his life.
This is the disadvantage of showing all your strength.Sometimes Jia Hu is too tired, so he laughed at himself.
Not long after, Jia Hu moved to Songtao Courtyard.During this period, Mrs. Wang, who was deprived of her housekeeping rights, first hated the person who poisoned the big house, and then was dazzled by the good things sent from the warehouse to Jia Hu's yard like flowing water. She only cared about calculating the Jia family's fortune And Jia Hu, who envied and hated being rewarded with many things by Jia Daishan, and even Jia Mu, who was hindered by the Duke, also rewarded some things.
When Jia Hu moved to the outer courtyard, because Jia Daishan gradually felt that his energy was a little low, when Jia Zheng suggested that Jia Zhu had no one to teach him, he asked Jia Zhu to go to school at home.
"In my opinion, the masters in the family school are more than enough to enlighten children."
Jia Zheng secretly scolded Mrs. Wang, who was motivating him, stood up, and said with some trepidation: "It's because Zheng'er was thinking about it for a while, and didn't consider his father's hard work. It's just that Hu'er is getting older, and the more he learns, the more he learns." It's getting more and more complicated, will it disturb my father's rest?"
A smile appeared on the corner of Jia Mu's mouth, "Zheng'er is really filial. Your father wants to rest. It's really not good for Hu'er to disturb him anymore. Hu'er, I heard that you've been in Pear Fragrance Garden all day recently? That's not okay. You're too old Now, go home and go to school, we elders can rest assured."
Jia's mother-tongued expression made everyone in the big house disgusted to death.When Jia Amnesty said he wanted to invite his wife, who stopped him?And who said to find something to do for the Duke so that his children and grandchildren would not be so lonely?He just rejected Jia Zhu, and dragged Jia Hu down in the name of filial piety.If Jia Hu continues to study in Lixiangyuan, is it unfilial? !
Jia Amnesty, who had been oppressed by Jia's mother in the name of "unfilial piety" for a lifetime, had red eyes and looked like he was about to get angry.Jia's mother didn't believe that he had the courage, Jia Daishan thought about the secret conversation with Jia Hu that day, Jia Hu revealed some strange things about Jia She, but he became suspicious.
He said in a deep voice: "Okay! It's my intention for Hu'er to go to Lixiangyuan to study." In the end, he saved some face for Shi Shi.
"Pearl is still young, and I can't take care of both of them by myself, so let's hire an enlightened gentleman for Pearl."
"Also, this year is the year of the Grand Competition. Zheng'er needs to put more effort into his studies. If there is anything he doesn't understand, he can come to the door and ask the Lin family boy for advice."
After he finished speaking, he walked away.
Mrs. Wang lowered her head and hated secretly. They are both the grandsons of the Duke, so why can't my Pearl accept the teachings of the Duke?Forget it, I remember that my natal sister-in-law is also from a scholarly family, so write a letter to my brother and ask them to recommend a wife.
Jia Zheng was overjoyed.What does Father mean, is the marriage between Sister Min and Brother Ruhai settled? !I thought to myself that compared to Jia She, he and brother Ru Hai are both scholars, so they get along better.Jia Zheng was thinking about when he should visit his brother-in-law.However, I'm afraid it won't work in the near future. If you are too eager, you may be underestimated by Brother Ruhai.
That night, Mrs. Wang wrote a letter to her natal sister-in-law.Only Wang Ziteng's family was in Beijing, so it was Wang Yuan who received the letter.After reading this letter, Yuan Shi was almost pissed off.
"Look at what this is talking about?! Is it so easy to find Jinshi who is not an official in the capital? My Yuan family owes her, or what? Don't look down on others like this!"
Between the lines, there is contempt for Yuan's natal family, as if being able to do things for Wang is the blessing of their Yuan family.Yes, Yuan's father was only a fifth-rank official, and his brother was just a small editor of the Imperial Academy, but the Yuan family did not owe the Wang family anything.The Yuan family married into the Wang family, and they were well-matched. After the Wang family became the county uncle, the Yuan family's ancestors were also elders of the pavilion!
Yuan Shi angrily tore up the letter. Wang Ziteng came back from the camp in the capital and heard about it from his servants, but he didn't say anything.
The water splashed by the married daughter is just a concubine, and it is not worth blaming the concubine for her.Wang Ziteng thought indifferently.
Mother Jia has been aggrieved recently.Lao Ku's key is not with her, and the Duke of the State has not let her intervene in the matter of the housekeeper, and even the welfare of the two daughters-in-law serving meals at dinner has been waived by the Duke of the State.
At that time, Jia Daishan had finished eating. Seeing that the two daughters-in-law were still adding food to Jia Mu and Jia Min, he couldn't help frowning.Especially the second daughter-in-law, her belly is still big, it has been six or seven months.
"Mr. Liu, Mrs. Wang, sit down. You are all here to serve, what are the maids doing?" Jia Daishan looked dissatisfied at the maid standing next to Jia Mu, who was standing indifferently, watching the two masters serve the others. However, the big maids who followed Jia Min didn't dare to accept it calmly, and helped her out.
It was mandarin ducks next to Jiamu, and she had been by Jiamu's side for many years. Jiamu's unique status was deeply rooted in her heart, and it was not like she hadn't missed Dafang's rise in status over the years.It's just that Yuanyang will never forget, but when she was still young and not Yuanyang, she once saw Uncle Xi standing in a corner, looking longingly at his wife who was talking to Second Master Zheng.
As long as the wife is always Uncle She's mother, then the wife's position in the mansion is unshakable.At that time, the mother who brought her to kowtow to the old lady said so, and sent her to the wife's courtyard as a little maid.
Sure enough, after the old lady left, apart from the master, the wife was the highest master in the house.The master just doesn't care about the inner courtyard, the wife has the final say in the mansion, no matter how coldly the uncle Xie has received, he is still so filial, even if he gets angry, he will always come back.
It's the same this time, Yuanyang firmly believes that the eldest wife is absolutely inferior to the old lady in the heart of the elder.As for the second wife, which mother would like someone who robbed her favorite son?Therefore, when they see mandarin ducks, they also have to greet them kindly.
Obviously, this kindness made Yuanyang forget his identity.
Mother Jia felt a little regretful, this mandarin duck was by far the most convenient one to use.However, a caring maid can always come out.
After that, within two days, a new mandarin duck stood beside Jiamu.She smiled sweetly, greeted everyone with a smile, served the old lady, and gradually became very considerate.Mrs. Wang undoubtedly likes this new mandarin duck better, but who knows about the previous one?
Not to mention the later, just say that now, Jia Daishan has always been displeased with Shi's tossing about his daughter-in-law. It's just a problem between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. It's best for him, a big man, not to get involved.In addition, when Shi Shi was a daughter-in-law, she also came here like this, so Jia Daishan ignored it.
He has changed his mind now.The inner courtyard is unstable and endangers the children and grandchildren, Shi Shi is too capable of tossing about.
"Our family doesn't have that many rules, let's all sit down." Jia Daishan signaled his daughters-in-law to put down their chopsticks, and said, "In the future, you don't have to wait for us when we eat together."
Therefore, Mother Jia can no longer toss her two daughters-in-law.Mainly Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Wang are pregnant with Jia Zheng's child, so they really can't be too harsh.When the mandarin ducks around her exploded, Jia's mother was still a little upset.
One day, at the East Mansion, Mrs. Xu sent someone to post a message, asking the old lady to come and enjoy flowers and eat crabs tomorrow. Mother Jia wanted to relax and readily agreed.
The author has something to say: Dear friends, I found that I can only update twice a day at most, and I can only make up for what I owe, so don’t dislike me~
☆, Ningguo Mansion Eating Crabs and Enjoying Chrysanthemums
"How about the old lady come in?" Mrs. Xu asked with a smile while supporting the old Fengjun of the West Mansion.
Mother Jia patted Mrs. Xu's hand and said angrily, "Okay, okay! It's hard for you to remember my old bone."
Xu said angrily: "How old is old lady? I see that you are in good health, and you will live a long life in the future!" Xu is Jia Jing's wife. She is nearly forty now, her skin is in good condition, and she is also eloquent. On the ground, a clever mouth seemed to be smeared with honey, which coaxed Jia Mu to smile.
Mrs. Liu was listening to the daughter-in-laws in charge at this time, because Gein started to teach Jia Min a year ago.
Feeling his mother's scrutiny, Lin Ruhai couldn't help straightening his body. After hearing his mother's reputation, his pale face couldn't help but blush.
Mother Lin looked at her son with unstoppable pride.Although she thinks that her son is more than enough to be a prostitute in the Duke's mansion, she can't ignore her son's wishes.
"My son, do you still remember what your father told you before he left?"
Lin Ruhai said solemnly: "Before my father passed away, he chose the word 'Ruhai' for me. I hope that my Wen Lin Ruhai can pass the Jinshi examination, become an official and revitalize my Lin family."
Mother Lin said gratifiedly: "My son's learning has been praised by the great Confucian Sun Siyuan and Master Sun. I don't worry about it. It's just that my son's marriage has always been a problem of mine." Lin's mother sometimes wondered Well, she might as well just die. In this way, some people who can't bear their daughter to be rubbed by their mother-in-law marry their daughter to the Lin family, so that she can follow Father Lin.It's just that Ru Hai's marriage, after all, she still needs to be involved, and this year is the year of the competition, if Ru Hai misses it, she will have to wait another three years.
As it was about the imperial examination, Lin Ruhai kept his mouth shut. He had confidence in himself, but he couldn't speak too much.
Mother Lin looked at Lin Ruhai lovingly, and asked, "What does my son think of Jia Guogong's daughter?"
Could it be?Lin Ruhai looked at Mother Lin in disbelief.
Mother Lin nodded slightly.
Lin Ruhai was ecstatic at first, but then calmed down when he thought of the prominent family of the Jia family and the two families.
"Mother, here, what virtue and ability do I have, I am fortunate to have Jia Guogong's favor."
"My son, don't underestimate yourself. Young people are rare, and how many people are in Shilu's family? As the saying goes, a high family marry a daughter-in-law, and a low family marry a daughter. I think the two families are well matched."
Lin Ruhai was a little shy, but he also knew that even though he was a low-marriage, his knowledge and the achievements of the Lin family ancestors were not considered humiliating.
"My son, you will be filial piety in a few days. Your mother is seriously ill. Then you will visit Rongguo Mansion in person."
Lin Ruhai nodded and said, "Mr. Rong Guo found a good doctor for my Lin family. I should have gone to his house to thank him."
After seeing his mother, Lin Ruhai went to the study and read quietly for a while.Holding the scroll in her hand, Lin Ruhai couldn't help thinking about this marriage in her mind.
Both parents have their wishes, and whether the marriage can be completed still needs to be discussed.
With the other hand, Lin Ruhai tapped on the desk lightly.
The marriage with the Rongguo Mansion undoubtedly benefited the Lin family the most.Rong Guogong is now holding a spare job, and he can still enter the palace to face the saint. With such a Yue family, Lin Ruhai is also talented and knowledgeable, and he was able to attract the attention of the emperor in the early days.Although Lin Ruhai can make his way to the top by himself, but it will be the year of the monkey. The Lin family has never lived a long life. If Lin Ruhai wants to enter the cabinet, I'm afraid I can't afford to wait.
The fact that he had to rely on the support of the Yue family made Lin Ruhai a little frustrated, but he soon cheered up.The in-laws were meant to support each other, and Rong Guogong chose to be close to the noble and scholarly family to get married, so why didn't he want the Lin family to support the next generation of Rong Guo Mansion?I heard that Rong Guogong's two grandsons are both studying.
After the Lin Mansion was removed from service, Lin Ruhai really handed over a greeting card to the Rongguo Mansion.
On this day, the wind was sunny and the autumn was crisp, Jia Daishan saw Lin Ruhai in the study.
"En, not bad, not bad." Jia Daishan stroked his beard and said, "However, the body of a mere human..."
"Why don't you wait for your nephew to pass the Jinshi exam, and then propose marriage to Shi Boqian?"
Jia Daishan was delighted, "Is my nephew sure?"
"The teacher said that if I try my best, I may succeed."
Literati are very modest in their speech, and they may hit it, but if there is no accident, they will definitely hit it.
"Okay! Nephew has this confidence, then I will wait for the good news."
The two agreed that they would come to Rongguo Mansion to propose marriage when Lin Ruhai was a Jinshi in high school.Jia Daishan mentioned his second son again: "My second son Mingzheng, whose name is Cunzhou, also participated in the last Qiu Wei, but unfortunately his name fell to Sun Shan. My nephew is already a juren, can you give me some pointers for him?"
"Don't dare. Brother Cun Zhou is an upright person with a wide reputation. Ru Hai dare not point out Brother Cun Zhou's knowledge, but hopes to discuss it with him."
Today when Lin Ruhai came to Jia's mansion, Jia Hu didn't have to study, and stayed in the small study with his arms dangling to write big characters.As I was writing, I heard people chattering outside.Jia Hu frowned, but continued to write, his strokes were extremely serious, his arms were sore, and he didn't stop.A quarter of an hour later, when Jia Hu finished writing the last word and was satisfied that every one of them was well written, she stopped, called the servant outside, and asked what was the matter.
A boy of seven or eight years old came in.His eyes rolled around, and he was clever at first glance.He was Jia Hu's playmate chosen by his grandfather, he was the same age as Jia Hu, and Jia Hu gave him the name Hegui.
Hegui said that a guest came to see the master and was drinking tea in the study when Master Zheng also came over.
guest?Jia Hu raised her eyebrows, she didn't know who was able to make Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng share the same room.Jia Zheng has always looked down on Jia She and his friends, and he has never entered Jia She's study.
Jia Hu had a smile on the corner of his mouth, he really wanted to know what kind of guest it was.
The opportunity came soon, and Jia She ordered someone to invite Jia Hu to his study to meet the guests.
"Brother Ru Hai, let's take a look, how about this ancient fan?"
"Polygonatum odoratum fan bones are reddish-brown and patinaed, probably very old; the fan surface..."
It seems that this is Lin Ruhai.Jia Hu looked at the picture with interest. Jia She took Lin Ruhai to appreciate the fan, and didn't say a word to Jia Zheng. Jia Zheng occasionally added a few unpleasant words, and only Lin Ruhai answered.
Lin Ruhai really felt a headache. All the children followed the "family ugliness should not be publicized". If there were any conflicts, they would not show it when outsiders were around.I don't know what's going on with these two, really... When Lin Ruhai turned around, he found a seven or eight-year-old child looking up at him brightly, and couldn't help laughing.
"Brother Enhou, this is?"
"This is my eldest son, Jia Hu!" Jia She smiled triumphantly, "Hu'er, come to meet you Uncle Lin."
After asking, Jia Amnesty proudly showed off Jia Hu to Lin Ruhai.The Lin family has always had few descendants, and Jia Hu is clever and smart. Lin Ruhai passed Jia Hu's exams, and Jia Hu was articulate and fluent in his answers. Sometimes he had opinions that adults might not even think of. Lin Ruhai couldn't help treating him as his own son.
He asked, "Where does Hu'er study?"
"Taught by grandfather for the time being."
It turned out to be raised by the Duke of the State, Lin Ruhai admired, "It is worthy of being raised by the Duke of Rong Guo. ——Brother Enhou, it is unknown whether the young phoenix will be as good as the old phoenix in the future."
Jia Zheng stood on one side again, looked at Jia Amnesty's smiling face, and at the two children who were asking and answering, and couldn't help but regret not bringing Jia Zhu here.Don't even think about it, Jia Zhu is only three or four years old, what do you bring here? The "Three Character Classic" has not been finished.
Time passed in friendly and harmonious conversation.After Lin Ruhai left, Jia Hu went to Jia Daishan's study.There is one thing that Jia Hu only made up her mind yesterday.
"What? You want to go back to Jinling?" Jia Hu had just finished writing an stereotyped essay on "The Analects of Confucius·Xianwen" learned the other day. When Jia Hu checked the errors and was about to hand it over to his grandfather, he heard Jia Zhen say I want to go back to Jinling.
Jia Zhen touched her face in embarrassment, nodded and said, "Well, I'm going back to Jinling to take the exam."
Jia Hu knew that after the Chinese New Year last year, Jia Zhen went back to Jinling to take the county examination in February.
"You know, the last time I went back, I passed both the county examination and the government examination, but not the hospital examination."
Jia Hu nodded and asked, "Is this your own idea? Did grandfather agree?"
Jia Zhen said with some embarrassment: "My father said it. He said that my fire is enough. ——I won't study here when I pass the examination of scholar."
"Why?" Jia Hu was anxious.When I was studying, I was so lonely without my friends.After a break, no one talked.
Jia Zhen looked at Jia Hu apologetically: "Father said that uncle is not in good health, so it is not appropriate to bother him anymore. Father asked me to go home and learn to read."
Thinking of Jia Daishan coughing from time to time since autumn, Jia Hu was silent.There are more things to learn in the exam. The Four Books and Five Classics are just a foundation, and my grandfather's body cannot bear so much.
Jia Hu was depressed for a while.Jia Zhen looked at this cousin. At first, he had the idea of taking care of him. After getting along gradually, Jia Zhen really regarded this precocious cousin as her friend.
"It's a pity that I can't accompany you," Jia Hu said disappointedly, "Grandpa won't agree."
Jia Zhen immediately blacked out.Speaking out really hurt Jia Zhen's self-confidence, even though Jia Hu has only been studying for more than three years, his progress is almost catching up with him.Of course, Jia Daishan was not so eager for success, and his progress was very slow, and he was about to finish teaching "The Analects of Confucius" now, but... a year ago, Jia Hu was listening to Jia Zhen's class, and he really understood it. Jia Daishan did not hesitate to answer the questions raised.In the end, if there was anything she didn’t understand, Jia Zhen asked Jia Hu directly /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~
"If you want to take the exam, you have to start with the county exam. The county exam will be in February next year at the earliest. At that time, I have finished all the college exams." Jia Zhen complained, he didn't want to bring Jia Hu back to Jinling.Fortunately, he refused at the beginning, otherwise, his cousin and his cousin took the talent test together, and his cousin who was so many years younger than himself would rank higher than his cousin, so he would lose face.
Hearing this, Jia Hu was even more lost.In despair, he handed the stereotyped essay he had just finished to Jia Daishan, and asked, "Grandfather, how about I take the Tongsheng examination next year?"
The author has something to say: the new chapter has dropped, and there is another update today~ Make up for the ones that haven't been updated a few days ago~
Don't scatter flowers carelessly~ Maybe the author Jun will come to the third watch when he is happy~
☆, Jia Hu moved out of the outer courtyard
Jia Hu looked at Jia Daishan expectantly, Jia Daishan reprimanded helplessly: "Nonsense!"
Jia Hu was relentless, and Jia Daishan had nothing to do with him.Strange to say, his two sons are very afraid of him, even Jia Zhu, who is only three years old, is very afraid of his majestic grandfather, but this eldest grandson is not so afraid.
"Hu'er, how old are you, how can we trust you to go to Jinling?"
"I can go with Big Brother Jane."
Jia Daishan laughed, and said with a stern face: "Zhen'er is leaving this autumn, the college entrance examination, the county examination is in February, do you want Zhen'er to stay in Jinling for one more year because of you?"
Jia Hu smiled and said, "Grandfather really has confidence in me." Jia Zhen stayed in Jinling for one more year, which meant that Jia Hu passed the county and government examinations, and then took the hospital examination.Otherwise, half a year is enough.
Jia Daishan looked at his grandson with some pride, and even nodded and admitted: "Yes, I taught Zhen'er, and you are no worse than him in learning next to him. Even if you go to the exam, you can pass it."
Jia Hu looked at him in surprise.Don't look at what he said well, he has no idea in his heart.After all, he was not born and raised here, and Jia Hu wasn't sure if he could use what he had learned over the years.
"However, Hu'er, if a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it. It's not uncommon for an eight- or nine-year-old scholar to have a literary style in the south of the Yangtze River, but a noble family is very rare." Jia Daishan said solemnly, "At least until I die. Only then can you go to the Tongsheng examination."
Jia Hu's heart was shaken. Has the Jia family declined to such an extent?
Then through Jia Daishan's words, Jia Hu understood: it's not that the Jia family can't protect a young genius, but that the current situation is not suitable.Next, Jia Daishan said a lot to him, all about government affairs and the Jia family, as if skipping Jia's amnesty, and cultivating Jia Hu as the heir of the Jia family.
When Rong Guogong was still alive, the emperor was very jealous of Jia's influence in the army.The Jia family married the Wang family again, and the Wang family's prince Teng was at the right time. If Jia Hu was too outstanding, he would undoubtedly be a piece of cake in the eyes of the princes who would grow up.The last time Jia Amnesty stood in the right team, this time he got involved again, regardless of whether he would be successful or not, it must be very taboo when he is still there today, and by then, the master he followed might not be able to keep the Jia family.
Concubine Shu, who is now close to the Jia family, happens to have only two daughters, and without a son, the Jia family has no risk of standing in line.Jia Daishan once thought that if Jia Hu didn't like reading as much as Jia She, let him be the Lord. With the relationship between Liu Shi and Concubine Shu, marrying Concubine Shu's youngest daughter can continue the glory and wealth of another generation.Fortunately, Jia Hu's talent is outstanding, so the Jia family doesn't have to rely on nepotism.
These two passages kept appearing in Jia Hu's mind. Last night, Jia Hu tossed and turned, thought for a long time, and finally made up his mind.So, after seeing Lin Ruhai, Jia Hu went to Jia Daishan's study after finishing his homework.
"Hu'er, didn't you rest today? Why did you come to my place?" Jia Daishan wondered why Jia Hu was not afraid of him, but he didn't know how soft his face was when he faced this intelligent, sensible and young grandson.At this time, he was reading a book and was disturbed, but he was not annoyed, and looked at Jia Hu almost lovingly.
"Grandfather, Hu'er has something to say to Grandpa."
Guessing from Jia Hu's suspicious expression that the matter might be serious, Jia Daishan paused, waved his hand to tell Jia Hu not to speak, and ordered his servants to open the doors and windows. A few confidantes waited at the doors and windows, and the others stood far away, unless He called, and no one could approach the study.Then he asked, "What's the matter?"
No one knew what Jia Hu said to Rong Guogong, but from this day on, Jia Hu stayed in Lixiangyuan for a longer time, and Rong Guogong valued Jia Hu more and more day by day.
Seeing that Jia Hu is favored by Duke Rong even more than before, Mrs. Wang is the most anxious person in the Rongguo Mansion.
"Where is the master? Are you still in the study?"
Zhou Rui's family returned in trepidation: "Madam, the master came back from the study and went directly to Aunt Zhao."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang gritted her silver teeth, pulled her handkerchief, and spat: "This little hoof!"
After finishing speaking, he lowered his voice and asked, "Has everyone been arranged?"
Zhou Rui's family came up to Mrs. Wang, and smiled shyly: "If you go back to your wife, we have already arranged it." He covered his mouth with a handkerchief and smiled: "It's a pity that little hoof thought he had won. Ask your wife for help. I don't even want to see if I can win over."
Saying that, Zhou Rui's family stretched out a few fingers, waved them in front of Mrs. Wang, and said mysteriously: "Madam, guess what? Aunt Zhao rewarded Liu'er with a purse, which was bulging. Who knew it was full of copper coins!" I'm so angry with Liu'er, who doesn't know that Liu'er works here with his wife, and the wife always rewards her with silver? It's only two hundred dollars, and Liu'er's monthly money is not enough..." Zhou Rui's family made a lot of belittlement.
There was a smile on the corner of Mrs. Wang's mouth, and her tone was light, "It's just a few taels of silver, look at her shallow eyelids." She raised her voice and called, "Jin Chuan'er, take ten taels of silver and give it to Zhou Rui's family——Zhou Rui's family Yes, send it to Liu'er, and tell me I rewarded it, and when you get there, be a good person, don't be like Aunt Zhao."
"Hey!" Zhou Rui's family took the money from Jin Chuan'er and narrowed their eyes with a smile.After thanking his wife, he twisted his body and went to the small courtyard where Aunt Zhao lived.On the way, seeing no one was there, he went to his own house first.
Auntie was supposed to be treated the same as the maids, living in the wife's corner room, but Aunt Zhao was favored by Mr. Zheng. With a wave of his hand, Mr. Zheng chose a small courtyard in the west and moved all the aunts there.Mr. Zheng only has two aunts. Aunt Zhou is a dull-tempered woman who is always lifeless and doesn’t please him.
When Zhou Rui's family arrived at Aunt Zhao's small courtyard, they just heard Aunt Zhao making a fuss, pointing at Sang and scolding Huai in vulgar language, and Zhou Rui's family didn't care about her.He just quietly called a little girl to replace Liu'er.
"Liu'er, this is five taels of silver from my wife, you should collect it first."
"Thank you, Sister Zhou." Liu'er happily put away the money and asked, "Madam, do you have something to order?"
The two of them were standing under the shade of a tree in a remote corner behind Aunt Zhao's yard, and it was very convenient to hide when someone came.Zhou Rui's family saw that there was no one around, and whispered to her: "Liu'er, you are now Aunt Zhao's maidservant, if there is any movement on Aunt Zhao's body, please report to me."
Liu'er nodded, and heard Aunt Zhao yell angrily: "Liu'er? Liu'er! Where are you slacking off, you damn girl?!" He hurriedly responded: "Auntie, I'm here!" Farewell in a hurry Zhou Rui's family.
Zhou Rui's family returned to Mrs. Wang's yard. Mrs. Wang was frowning. Seeing her come back, she beckoned and said, "Zhou Rui's family, come here and look at this picture."
Zhou Rui's family took a rough look, "Is Madam going to tidy up the yard for someone to live in?"
"Who else is there besides Brother Hu in Dafang? They are seven or eight years old, and it's shameful to stay in the backyard all the time. Although my sister-in-law didn't tell me, as an aunt, I have to think about him."
Zhou Rui's family and Mrs. Wang looked at each other, and they both remembered that Mrs. Wang was now the housekeeper.Zhou Rui's family thought about the oil and water that this errand might have, and calculated how much they could scrape from it.And Mrs. Wang used a handkerchief to cover the corners of her raised mouth. She arranged the manpower in the whole yard, so there should not be too much room for manipulation.
"Which yard did Madam take her fancy to?"
"Neng, look at these three, one is on the west side, a small and exquisite courtyard, exquisite is exquisite, but it is too far away from the backyard. There is also this one, Songtao Courtyard, which is simple and atmospheric, just in Rongxi Hall and Lanfang Courtyard The last one, the yard is very big, and it is also close to the small garden, but it is too far away, not far from the Pear Fragrance Courtyard where Grandpa Guo rests, I thought, it would be convenient for Brother Hu to go to school."
"Does the lady prefer the last one?"
Mrs. Wang was silent.
Seeing this, Zhou Rui's family persuaded with winking eyes: "Madam, why bother with the big house? You are kind to brother Hu, but he may not appreciate it, but doubts your intentions. According to slaves, it is better to keep these three yards. Mention them all, let the big house choose, and when the yard is not good, it’s not the wife’s fault.”
"You're right," Mrs. Wang stroked her nails, and said slowly, "I'm a fool." Then she sighed, "It's a pity that I gave birth to Pearl too late, and I don't know if Pearl is still alive." It’s a blessing to be able to live in Shotoin.”
It turned out that the wife wanted Brother Zhu to live in Songtao Courtyard?Zhou Rui's family was a little surprised.The gates of Songtao Courtyard, Lanfang Courtyard, Rongxi Hall and Rongguo Mansion are on the central axis of Rongfu. Needless to say, Rongxi Hall is Lanfang Courtyard, which is also the residence of Chengjue. Although Songtao Courtyard is empty, Only people with big houses can live in it, right?
"It's too early for Madam to say this," Zhou Rui's family persuaded tactfully, "Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Duke thinks highly of Brother Hu..."
Mrs. Wang lowered her head and thought, no matter how old Jia Hu is, it will be hard to do anything.As early as when she heard that Mrs. Shi was partial to her youngest son, Mrs. Wang had been estimating the possibility of her second wife becoming a lord.I didn't expect Duke Rong's life to be so long. What's the use of Mrs. Shi's preference?Jia Zheng is also a wimp, and he couldn't even pass the exam.I can only count on myself a little bit.
After everyone had dinner in the evening, Mrs. Wang mentioned the matter of changing the yard.
Mrs. Liu looked at Mrs. Wang with apologetic eyes, "I, as a mother, have already forgotten about it, so my younger siblings have to worry about it."
Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "Where is it? My sister-in-law is also busy taking care of Miss Ying. This matter should be worried about by the housekeeper. Don't blame me for being troublesome, sister-in-law."
Jia Min spoke quickly: "The two sisters-in-law have worked hard, I wonder which yard the second sister-in-law is optimistic about?"
"It stands to reason that we should move to Songtao Courtyard, but I think Liuyun Court next to the small garden is also very good, not to mention the big yard, the key is that it is close to Pear Fragrance Courtyard, and it is also convenient for Brother Hu to go to and from school." ——Old lady Which one do you think is better?" Mrs. Wang said with a sweet smile.
Just as Jia's mother was about to talk about Liuyunyuan, she heard Jia Daishan's deep voice, "What's there to say? Hu'er is the eldest son of Dafang, so naturally he should live in Songtaoyuan."
After Jia Daishan spoke, everyone fell silent.The matter of Jia Hu moving out of the inner courtyard was finalized.
The author has something to say: I saw a relative reply that Jia Min gave ginseng soup and Jia Zhengtong had a miscarriage in another article.I have seen this article before, and when I wrote it, I remembered it and used it.But apart from this behavior, everyone can see that the mastermind behind the scenes is Mrs. Wang, right?Also, the five-element grass is used for poisoning, and these are different.In fact, I just wanted to write Five Elements Grass [Khan], but I didn’t think of a good way, so I borrowed a stalk.Does anyone know if this is plagiarism?
☆, Aggrieved Mother Jia
One night afterwards, Mrs. Liu hugged Jia Hu distressedly, and said with some worry: "Hu'er, if you move to the outer courtyard, you will be far away from your mother."
Jia Hu was a little helpless. His schoolwork had become heavier these days. Except for sleeping in Lanfangyuan, he basically stayed in Lixiangyuan.Even Jia Ying spent less time playing with her.
"Come on, Ying'er, call me brother." Jia Hu took a small rattle and twitched it, which caught Jia Ying's attention and teased her to talk.
The little girl showed a toothless smile and clapped her hands, seeming to recognize this little boy who played with her every day, and her face was drooling.
Liu watched their interaction lovingly, and wiped Jia Ying's saliva with a handkerchief.
"Why is it suddenly so busy recently? I didn't see anyone early in the morning, and I only saw you at breakfast and evening."
"Well, the time for martial arts training in the morning has been brought forward, and my grandfather is lecturing all day long."
Liu was a little worried: "Will this body be too much?"
Jia Hu smiled, "Mother, don't worry. Apart from studying and practicing martial arts, Hu'er has nothing to do."
At this time, Jia She, who had been teasing Jia Ying, interjected, "Half-year-old, he has boundless energy. If he is restrained from studying, it will save him from causing trouble everywhere."
After hearing this, Mrs. Liu was a little unhappy: "What did Enhou say?! Hu'er never made me worry about it. Hu'er, don't listen to your father's nonsense. If you are naughty, mother will be happier. "
After Jia Amnesty heard this, he was a little embarrassed, and instead of talking with the mother and son, he just hugged Jia Ying and taught her how to speak.
Since he was a child, he has shown a well-behaved and sensible appearance, and Jia Hu also knows that even though what Jia She said is not pleasant, he also loves himself in his heart.Jia Hu listened to Liu's instructions with a smile.
Mrs. Liu chattered for a long time about the yard where Jia Hu was going to move.
"In the outer courtyard, Songtao Courtyard is the closest courtyard to Lanfang Courtyard. Besides saying hello, you also have to come and have a look at it. Even if I'm busy, it's good to play with my sister for a while. Don't alienate your biological brothers and sisters. .”
"Yes, mother."
"Your yard, according to your idea, is also repaired. Let's see if there is anything to be modified tomorrow, and then let me know."
"Okay, mother."
"Tomorrow, I will open the storeroom to see if there is anything I need to buy. Let me think about it. The Duan Inkstone from the Moonlight in the Lotus Pond in my dowry is very good, and I will send it to your study tomorrow. Ah, there are also Xue Taojian, Shang Hao Hubi, old curry Song Dynasty pine smoke ink is also better..."
"Mother, you don't need these good things on weekdays." Jia Hu felt helpless.
Jia Shen said again: "Who says it's not necessary? Everyone's children are raised in this way, and there are no inferior things in the house. You come to my study tomorrow, and I have some good things for you." Hehe, for Jia Shen On this day, I found a lot of good things from Liulichang, not only the four treasures of the study, but also a lot of decorations, just for Jia Hu to play with.
From the bottom of his heart, Jia Hu, who was somewhat used to such "golden honor and precious jade", refused a few words, and acquiesced to the couple's arrangement.
Mrs. Liu said fortunately: "Fortunately, my father-in-law sent a message that day to ask Mrs. Wang to return the housekeeping rights to me, otherwise Hu'er's yard would be really difficult to manage."
Jia Amnesty also felt a little strange, his father had always ignored these things in his previous life.However, thinking of Jia Hu's unexpected talent for reading in this life, Jia Amnesty felt a little relieved.At this time, he was already able to distinguish Jia Hu from his previous life and this life very well.With Jia Ying again, besides feeling guilty about Jia Lian, Jia Amnesty has no regrets in his life when it comes to his children.
As for Yingchun and Jia Cong?Oh, concubine son and concubine daughter, Jia She never took it to heart.In the previous life, Mrs. Zhang left too early, otherwise, with the teaching of his first wife, he would never be able to raise him to the stage.
Only Jia Hu knew that his grandfather's deeds were clearly an effort made by him to wake up the hidden danger of regardless of age.At the same time, I also hope that Jia Hu will not worry too much about this kind of thing, and concentrate on what Jia Daishan taught him all his life.
This is the disadvantage of showing all your strength.Sometimes Jia Hu is too tired, so he laughed at himself.
Not long after, Jia Hu moved to Songtao Courtyard.During this period, Mrs. Wang, who was deprived of her housekeeping rights, first hated the person who poisoned the big house, and then was dazzled by the good things sent from the warehouse to Jia Hu's yard like flowing water. She only cared about calculating the Jia family's fortune And Jia Hu, who envied and hated being rewarded with many things by Jia Daishan, and even Jia Mu, who was hindered by the Duke, also rewarded some things.
When Jia Hu moved to the outer courtyard, because Jia Daishan gradually felt that his energy was a little low, when Jia Zheng suggested that Jia Zhu had no one to teach him, he asked Jia Zhu to go to school at home.
"In my opinion, the masters in the family school are more than enough to enlighten children."
Jia Zheng secretly scolded Mrs. Wang, who was motivating him, stood up, and said with some trepidation: "It's because Zheng'er was thinking about it for a while, and didn't consider his father's hard work. It's just that Hu'er is getting older, and the more he learns, the more he learns." It's getting more and more complicated, will it disturb my father's rest?"
A smile appeared on the corner of Jia Mu's mouth, "Zheng'er is really filial. Your father wants to rest. It's really not good for Hu'er to disturb him anymore. Hu'er, I heard that you've been in Pear Fragrance Garden all day recently? That's not okay. You're too old Now, go home and go to school, we elders can rest assured."
Jia's mother-tongued expression made everyone in the big house disgusted to death.When Jia Amnesty said he wanted to invite his wife, who stopped him?And who said to find something to do for the Duke so that his children and grandchildren would not be so lonely?He just rejected Jia Zhu, and dragged Jia Hu down in the name of filial piety.If Jia Hu continues to study in Lixiangyuan, is it unfilial? !
Jia Amnesty, who had been oppressed by Jia's mother in the name of "unfilial piety" for a lifetime, had red eyes and looked like he was about to get angry.Jia's mother didn't believe that he had the courage, Jia Daishan thought about the secret conversation with Jia Hu that day, Jia Hu revealed some strange things about Jia She, but he became suspicious.
He said in a deep voice: "Okay! It's my intention for Hu'er to go to Lixiangyuan to study." In the end, he saved some face for Shi Shi.
"Pearl is still young, and I can't take care of both of them by myself, so let's hire an enlightened gentleman for Pearl."
"Also, this year is the year of the Grand Competition. Zheng'er needs to put more effort into his studies. If there is anything he doesn't understand, he can come to the door and ask the Lin family boy for advice."
After he finished speaking, he walked away.
Mrs. Wang lowered her head and hated secretly. They are both the grandsons of the Duke, so why can't my Pearl accept the teachings of the Duke?Forget it, I remember that my natal sister-in-law is also from a scholarly family, so write a letter to my brother and ask them to recommend a wife.
Jia Zheng was overjoyed.What does Father mean, is the marriage between Sister Min and Brother Ruhai settled? !I thought to myself that compared to Jia She, he and brother Ru Hai are both scholars, so they get along better.Jia Zheng was thinking about when he should visit his brother-in-law.However, I'm afraid it won't work in the near future. If you are too eager, you may be underestimated by Brother Ruhai.
That night, Mrs. Wang wrote a letter to her natal sister-in-law.Only Wang Ziteng's family was in Beijing, so it was Wang Yuan who received the letter.After reading this letter, Yuan Shi was almost pissed off.
"Look at what this is talking about?! Is it so easy to find Jinshi who is not an official in the capital? My Yuan family owes her, or what? Don't look down on others like this!"
Between the lines, there is contempt for Yuan's natal family, as if being able to do things for Wang is the blessing of their Yuan family.Yes, Yuan's father was only a fifth-rank official, and his brother was just a small editor of the Imperial Academy, but the Yuan family did not owe the Wang family anything.The Yuan family married into the Wang family, and they were well-matched. After the Wang family became the county uncle, the Yuan family's ancestors were also elders of the pavilion!
Yuan Shi angrily tore up the letter. Wang Ziteng came back from the camp in the capital and heard about it from his servants, but he didn't say anything.
The water splashed by the married daughter is just a concubine, and it is not worth blaming the concubine for her.Wang Ziteng thought indifferently.
Mother Jia has been aggrieved recently.Lao Ku's key is not with her, and the Duke of the State has not let her intervene in the matter of the housekeeper, and even the welfare of the two daughters-in-law serving meals at dinner has been waived by the Duke of the State.
At that time, Jia Daishan had finished eating. Seeing that the two daughters-in-law were still adding food to Jia Mu and Jia Min, he couldn't help frowning.Especially the second daughter-in-law, her belly is still big, it has been six or seven months.
"Mr. Liu, Mrs. Wang, sit down. You are all here to serve, what are the maids doing?" Jia Daishan looked dissatisfied at the maid standing next to Jia Mu, who was standing indifferently, watching the two masters serve the others. However, the big maids who followed Jia Min didn't dare to accept it calmly, and helped her out.
It was mandarin ducks next to Jiamu, and she had been by Jiamu's side for many years. Jiamu's unique status was deeply rooted in her heart, and it was not like she hadn't missed Dafang's rise in status over the years.It's just that Yuanyang will never forget, but when she was still young and not Yuanyang, she once saw Uncle Xi standing in a corner, looking longingly at his wife who was talking to Second Master Zheng.
As long as the wife is always Uncle She's mother, then the wife's position in the mansion is unshakable.At that time, the mother who brought her to kowtow to the old lady said so, and sent her to the wife's courtyard as a little maid.
Sure enough, after the old lady left, apart from the master, the wife was the highest master in the house.The master just doesn't care about the inner courtyard, the wife has the final say in the mansion, no matter how coldly the uncle Xie has received, he is still so filial, even if he gets angry, he will always come back.
It's the same this time, Yuanyang firmly believes that the eldest wife is absolutely inferior to the old lady in the heart of the elder.As for the second wife, which mother would like someone who robbed her favorite son?Therefore, when they see mandarin ducks, they also have to greet them kindly.
Obviously, this kindness made Yuanyang forget his identity.
Mother Jia felt a little regretful, this mandarin duck was by far the most convenient one to use.However, a caring maid can always come out.
After that, within two days, a new mandarin duck stood beside Jiamu.She smiled sweetly, greeted everyone with a smile, served the old lady, and gradually became very considerate.Mrs. Wang undoubtedly likes this new mandarin duck better, but who knows about the previous one?
Not to mention the later, just say that now, Jia Daishan has always been displeased with Shi's tossing about his daughter-in-law. It's just a problem between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. It's best for him, a big man, not to get involved.In addition, when Shi Shi was a daughter-in-law, she also came here like this, so Jia Daishan ignored it.
He has changed his mind now.The inner courtyard is unstable and endangers the children and grandchildren, Shi Shi is too capable of tossing about.
"Our family doesn't have that many rules, let's all sit down." Jia Daishan signaled his daughters-in-law to put down their chopsticks, and said, "In the future, you don't have to wait for us when we eat together."
Therefore, Mother Jia can no longer toss her two daughters-in-law.Mainly Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Wang are pregnant with Jia Zheng's child, so they really can't be too harsh.When the mandarin ducks around her exploded, Jia's mother was still a little upset.
One day, at the East Mansion, Mrs. Xu sent someone to post a message, asking the old lady to come and enjoy flowers and eat crabs tomorrow. Mother Jia wanted to relax and readily agreed.
The author has something to say: Dear friends, I found that I can only update twice a day at most, and I can only make up for what I owe, so don’t dislike me~

"How about the old lady come in?" Mrs. Xu asked with a smile while supporting the old Fengjun of the West Mansion.
Mother Jia patted Mrs. Xu's hand and said angrily, "Okay, okay! It's hard for you to remember my old bone."
Xu said angrily: "How old is old lady? I see that you are in good health, and you will live a long life in the future!" Xu is Jia Jing's wife. She is nearly forty now, her skin is in good condition, and she is also eloquent. On the ground, a clever mouth seemed to be smeared with honey, which coaxed Jia Mu to smile.
Mrs. Liu was listening to the daughter-in-laws in charge at this time, because Gein started to teach Jia Min a year ago.
