The eldest son of the red mansion

Thinking about what Jia Ke said to him just now, I couldn't help but feel chills running down my back. His grandson is really scheming.Although he did it for the Jia family, why not for himself.

The few words just now pushed a newborn baby out as a target, while he himself hid behind and acted in secret.

It was those few words again, strangling a threatening younger brother in the tenderness.It really deserves to be a big event in the future.

A burst of joy rose in Jia's mother's heart. This is the heir she wanted. Only such a person can bring the Jia family back to glory in the future.It seems that God still favors the Jia family.

The next day, Mother Jia wanted to show her love for the grandson.A large number of medicinal materials and treasures have been bestowed.

Since then, regardless of his old age and frailty, he has insisted on visiting this grandson every day.Everyone in the house knows now.The old lady loved her grandson to the bottom of her heart.

Originally, Jia Zheng wanted to give this child a name that conformed to the rules and was satisfactory.

But Jia Mu resisted all opinions and insisted on naming the child Jia Baoyu.

Because Jia Mu is the oldest and the oldest, with the highest seniority.The crowd couldn't help her, so they started yelling like this after thinking about it.When he grows up, give him an official name.

And one month later, Mrs. Wang's full moon, Jia's family held a grand full moon wine for Jia Baoyu, and invited everyone they could.And he gave porridge outside for seven days to pray for Jia Baoyu.

When Mrs. Wang appeared in front of everyone with Jia Baoyu in her arms, she would take out that piece of jade from time to time for everyone to see?People were amazed when they saw it. They never thought that someone would be born with jade in their mouth. They all said that Jia Baoyu had a history.

On the second day of the full moon, Mother Jia discussed with Jia Zheng that Baoyu should be raised by her side on the grounds that she could not do without Baoyu.

Jia Zheng was extremely filial to his mother, and his mother's request was not too much, it was just that the old man loved his grandson and was reluctant to part with him.

That night, Jia Zheng discussed with Mrs. Wang.Ask her to send Baoyu to Jia Mu, Madam Wang is not willing to give birth to this Baoyu, not to mention that this child has a history and will definitely have great promise in the future.

So Mrs. Wang made a big fuss with Jia Zheng, which made Jia Zheng furious. He scolded her for not being filial, and said that the family did not send the child to the old lady to be raised. Mrs. Wang didn't say a word.

The next day, Jia Baoyu was sent to Jia's mother to be raised.Mrs. Wang was so heartbroken watching the child being sent away that she couldn't make a sound from crying.

It was Jia Yuanchun who came to comfort her and said: "Mother, don't worry too much, I am also growing up with the old lady now. Baoyu will be sent to the old lady, and I will definitely take good care of my mother."

Only then did Mrs. Wang feel a little comforted, and said to Jia Yuanchun: "Your brother left his mother at such a young age. At the old lady's place, you are the only one who knows what's cold and what's hot. Your brother depends entirely on you."

Jia Yuanchun agreed with tears in her eyes. In fact, she also felt that the old lady was a little unreasonable.But the old lady is the god of the Jia family, and she can't have any objections.

So Jia Baoyu was carried to Jiamu's place, and Jiamu arranged Jia Baoyu in the green gauze cabinet, and immediately invited several nurses to breastfeed Baoyu in turn.And specially arranged for four or five servant girls to take care of Baoyu day and night.You also have time, don't hold Baoyu in front of you.Not for a moment to leave.

Seeing this situation, Mrs. Wang was relieved.And Jia Zheng took this matter to Mrs. Wang whenever he had a chance, saying how much his mother loved Baoyu, and her previous worries were completely groundless.

And Mrs. Wang gradually began to be convinced of Jiamu, and went to Jiamu's place to see Baoyu from time to time.Every time I see Baoyu, she is white and fat, very cute.The servants took good care of her, and Jia Yuanchun was there to help her own daughter.Don't worry.Although there were still some complaints, they faded away.

Jia's mother's love for Jia Baoyu caused great waves in Jia's mansion.

But for Jia Ke, there is no need to worry at all, because he is a concubine and does not have much inheritance right to the Jia family.

What is really worrying now is Jia Zhu, who was just now a scholar.The whole family regards it as the heir of the Jia family.And he himself considers himself an heir.

But now there is an extra Jia Baoyu, who was born with auspiciousness, and Jia Mu's love for him is obvious to all.So Jia Zhu is getting more and more gloomy now, but the pressure has also brought him motivation, and he studies more diligently every day.Every day, I get up at five o'clock and climb to midnight, studying day and night.Prepare to pass the exam as soon as possible to stabilize your position.

When Jia Zheng saw Jia Zhu, he studied day and night. Instead of stopping him, he often encouraged him.

Only Mrs. Wang looked at Jia Zhu's appearance and was always worried.To be honest, although Mrs. Wang also loves Jia Baoyu, she raised Jia Zhu herself and taught him for more than ten years.In terms of feelings, Jia Zhu surpassed Jia Baoyu.Seeing Jia Zhu's appearance, Mrs. Wang often went to persuade him not to act too hastily.But Jia Zhu was so focused on the imperial examination that she couldn't listen to other words now.On the surface, the promise is very good, but in fact everything remains the same.

Jia Ke watched coldly from the sidelines, fully understanding what Jia Zhu was thinking. Jia Zhu was competing with her newborn younger brother.

Sure enough, it has nothing to do with family affection in front of interests.

Chapter 64

Jia Ke waited quietly in Jia's mansion, waiting for his opportunity to come.In early June, his opportunity came.

One day, Jia Ke was practicing martial arts in the teaching field.He rode a fire dragon colt with Fang Tian's painted halberd in his hand, and galloped back and forth in the teaching field.

Jia Ke was in the middle of practicing when he suddenly heard someone yelling from the side of the teaching field: "Master, Master told you to go to the study."

Jia Ke immediately stopped and turned to wait and see.It turned out to be Jia Zheng's servant.Jia Ke came to him, got off his horse, handed the fire dragon colt to the groom who ran over, and followed him with Fang Tian's painting halberd in his hand.

When they arrived at Jia Zheng's small study, the servants outside saw Jia Ke coming, and immediately went in to report.

Jia Ke stood Fang Tian's painting halberd in the corner, and went into the small study by herself.In addition to Jia Zheng, there are also four of his clean-up guests in the study.

Jia Ke greeted Jia Zheng, and then stood aside, waiting for Jia Zheng's orders.

While drinking tea, Jia Zheng said slowly, "I have already inquired about your future for you. Now there are two shortages, it depends on which one you want."

Jia Ke asked respectfully, "I don't know which two things my father has prepared for me."

Jia Zheng put down the teacup in his hand, and said to him, "One is Qian Zong, the sixth rank, and the other is Ba Zong, the seventh rank. Which one do you choose?"

Jia Ke thought in his heart that one was at the sixth rank and the other was at the seventh rank. If we compare the two official positions with a lot of difference, there must be a big difference.

Jia Ke asked Jia Zheng patiently, "I don't know what the difference is between these two official positions. I also ask my father to explain my child's doubts."

Jia Zheng then patiently explained to him: "The one who is at the sixth rank is Qianhu from Kaipingwei. The one who is at the seventh rank is the general manager of Xuanfu Town. Kaipingwei is the most border guard. , have to face the harassment of the Tatars in the grasslands. The wars are fought day by day, and the previous Qianhu has been killed in battle for several months, and there is no one to take over. This is the reason. The general manager of Xuanfu Town, due to The town is far from the border, so it is safer. If the children of the aristocratic family practice, most of them choose such a place. I think it is your first time joining the army. It is better for you to start from Xuanfu Town as the general manager."

Jia Ke thought about it, and felt that Mr. Kaiping Weiqian was more suitable for him.Kaipingwei is located at the northernmost end of the border, although it often faces harassment from Tatars.But there are many opportunities to gain military merit and climb up, and he doesn't take this danger seriously.I ask myself that I have Fang Tian's painted halberd, and a fire dragon horse under my crotch. I travel across mountains and rivers like walking on flat ground. Who in the world can get close to me?

So he said to Jia Zheng: "If you have learned martial arts, you should serve the country. You can only hide in the back for the sake of peace. Back then, the two old princes shot arrows and killed the enemy in person. Only then did the Rongguo Mansion come into existence. Today, although the son is not talented, he cannot let the ancestors focus on the former. I would like to go to Kaipingwei to serve thousands of households, serve the country, and bring honor to the family."

Hearing what he said, Jia Zheng felt his blood boil.Standing up from the chair, walked in front of Jia Ke, patted his shoulder, and said with emotion: "My son's ambition is ten times greater than that of his father, and he is the unicorn of my Jia family. From now on, I will have no worries."

Jia Ke bowed and said to Jia Zheng: "I can't bear such praise from my father. I just do my best for the country and family."

Jia Zheng saw that he was not arrogant in the face of praise.He was even more happy, so he said to him: "You have been preparing your luggage at home for the past few days. In a few days, the official order will be sent. Don't delay the trip. If you miss the time, you will be dealt with by military law. Be careful gone."

Jia Ke replied, "There is one more thing. Father asked, whether the soldiers in Xiacao Village can be taken with him to the post?"

Jia Zheng replied, "It's common sense for generals in ancient and modern times to domesticate their own soldiers. You don't have to worry about it. When the time comes, you'll gather your own soldiers to accompany you to take office. If those prostitutes don't obey their orders when you take office, you'll still have people available."

Jia Ke felt relieved, said goodbye and left.

After Jia Ke left, Wang Zuomei, Jia Zheng's guest, said to Jia Zheng, "Dong Weng, the eldest son is still young. Is it a little too hasty to let him go to Kaipingwei?"

Jia Zheng said flatly: "I know my son's martial arts skills, and I also know his ambition. Since he has chosen this path, he cannot back down in any way."

After hearing Jia Zheng's words, the four guests were a little puzzled, not knowing what Jia Zheng meant.But now that Jia Zheng has made a decision.They didn't mention it anymore.

Besides, Jia Ke left Jia Zheng's small study.Picking up Fang Tian's halberd, he went back to his study in the front yard, wrote a letter to the soldiers in Xiacaozhuang, and then asked someone to call Qian Mao.

After a while, Qian Mao arrived. Jia Ke handed the letter to Qian Mao, and said to him, "You should send this letter to Xiacao Village yourself, and give it to Liu Yu of the personal army, so that he can take the letter with you immediately." Soldiers come to join me in Jia's mansion, don't delay."

Qian Mao took the letter, put it in his arms carefully, and assured Jia Ke, "don't worry, sir, I'm leaving now. I will deliver this letter to Liu Yu tonight. I will never delay my business." .”

Jia Ke nodded in satisfaction, gave him a few words of encouragement, and let him go.

At night when Jia Ke returned to the small courtyard, Aunt Zhou was talking with Qiaolian, since Qiaolian became Jia Ke's maid.Because Qiaolian is Aunt Zhou's niece, Aunt Zhou was greatly comforted in the mansion.I am no longer as lonely as before, chatting with Qiaolian whenever I have time, and my personality is much more cheerful.
