The Second Master of the Red Chamber

Jia Lian's books are quite good. Jia She has always wanted to show off, but his friends are quite unreliable, and the son in the family is even more unreliable. It's just a waste of words, meaningless, but fortunately, he got a chance soon.

As soon as Mrs. Zhang mentioned his mother Mrs. Jiang's birthday, he hurriedly agreed, "It's my mother-in-law's birthday, of course we have to prepare a gift."

This is the first time for Mrs. Zhang to see Jia She is so happy to go to the Zhang family, she can't help but feel a little strange, "Didn't the uncle always like to go to the Zhang family?" She is something that can be held in her hand now. She has all of them in her hands, and she doesn't think that she can get them by pleasing Jia Amnesty if she hasn't.As for Jia Amnesty, those young children who loved each other long ago died, so they were naturally a little less polite when they spoke.

Although Zhang Momo's words sound uncomfortable, they are very real, "Grandma is a wife. As long as Zhang's family is here and brother is here, grandma's life will not be difficult. For uncle, you only need to respect each other as a guest. If it is true If you care about those things that can't be on the stage, you will lose your identity."

Originally, Jia Amnesty disliked meeting Zhang's two older brothers. After all, those two were very good at reading, which was different from Jia Zheng's talkative style. Eldest uncle, a dignified number one scholar.When Jia Amnesty faced these two uncles, he always felt hairy all over his body, as if he was a bit shorter, and he felt uncomfortable in various ways.Fortunately, he now has a son who can read, and he can let his son earn money for his face.

"When will I not like to see my father-in-law and mother-in-law?" Jia She retorted Zhang Shi, "Such unfilial words, don't say it again in the future."

Although Mrs. Zhang doesn't like him very much, she won't stand up to him. She can't have the reputation of a shrew. Shou, the family didn't plan to make a big deal, just invited a few relatives to have a meal together. I just asked my wife today, and she said that I am not in good health, I am afraid I may not be able to go."

Shi's health is actually very good, he has never had a headache, but once he encounters something he doesn't want to do, he will definitely shirk his poor health. She grew up with honorable parents like her and had nothing to say.

Although she often said that she was the daughter of the Hou family of Baoling, and the family of Wang was the young lady of the uncle's family of the ruling county, both of them were of great status, especially compared to the Zhang family who had no title, their status was higher.In fact, she is quite clear in her heart, no matter how high the title is, it is nothing compared to having real power and reputation, what makes her very jealous is that the Zhang family has them all.

When Jia She heard this, he was a little unhappy. The Shi family never paid much attention to the relatives of the Zhang family, but was very affectionate to the Wang family. Naturally, he didn't think too much in his heart. He only thought that the Shi family was close to Jia Zheng. Not taking yourself seriously.

"His second aunt probably won't be able to go either. Didn't Zhu'er say she's not feeling well? She just needs to take care of Zhu'er." Others made him unhappy, so of course he had to fight back. Jia Zheng always wanted to be with the Zhang family. The two uncles have a good relationship. This time, he just refused to give him the chance to go, "The second brother also has to devote himself to studying, so there is no need to inform. What's more, the Zhang family is your natal family. Since it is only a family eating, Why should they go again?"

Mrs. Zhang knew that he was ill again, but she didn't like Mrs. Wang being an eyesore in her heart, so she was naturally happy to hear what Jia She said, and obediently agreed, "Since the uncle said so, then I will listen to the uncle."

As a result, on Jiang's birthday, the people who went to the Rongguo Mansion were only people from Jia She's first room. Jiang directly attributed the mistake to Shi, and took Zhang's hand and said in pain, "My sons are all my children. I made a mistake for a moment, so I promised you to go to the family of that class."

Mrs. Zhang has opened up a lot now. Hearing what Mrs. Jiang said, she comforted her, "Madam, don't say that. They don't want to come, and I don't want them to come, so as not to make people unhappy."

Zhang's sister-in-law, Huang, also hurriedly comforted her, "Madam, don't be sad, my aunt will be very lucky to have such an intelligent son as Lian'er in the future."

The second sister-in-law Liu naturally couldn't fall behind, "That's right, today is your birthday, how can you shed tears?"

Only then did Jiang stop her tears, and called Jia Lian to her side, "I heard that Lian'er is very good at reading, she is really smart."

Jia Lian smiled restrainedly. Of course, it was just what he thought. In fact, in the eyes of others, he was just a shy golden boy wrapped in red silk. I feel ashamed!"

Hearing what she said, Jia Lian couldn't help sweating wildly in his heart, and really wanted to shout. I'm restrained, and I can be regarded as modest, and it has nothing to do with being shy. Second aunt, you are not too old , don't you start to lose your eyesight now?

Of course, unless he was crazy, he would never say that. He could only continue to smile shyly, and listened to Zhang saying, "He is thin-skinned. Second sister-in-law shouldn't say that about him anymore. Children don't like that." boasted."

Jiang Shi also smiled, and said to Jia Lian, "Okay, you must be bored with us, go ahead and find your uncle and cousin."

This is a completely different way of education from the Jia family. Boys are meant to grow up among men. If they grow up under the skirts of women, how can they stand upright? Like Jia Baoyu's way of raising, now it is Mrs. Jiang didn't know yet, if she knew, she would just shake her head lightly and laugh it off.

Jia Lian now has two cousins, one is Zhang Pei, the eldest son of the eldest uncle's family, who is 6 years older than him, and the other is Zhang Jun, the eldest son of the second uncle's family, who is 4 years older than him. Learning, and most importantly, his height is definitely not something he can match.

Fortunately, he also has a cousin of the same age, Zhang Di from the second uncle's family, who is also a Douding now, so he can be regarded as a playmate with him. Of course, that is all in the hearts of adults. In fact, he felt that his mental age was many times older than these children, and he had no interest in playing with them at all.

The second cousin, Zhang Jun, was naughty. Seeing his paralyzed face with a small face, he wanted to tease him even more, "Lian'er, smile, you are so good-looking, just like a ceramic doll, if you Smile, it must look good."

Jia Lian was crying silently in his heart, could it be that I am being molested by a little kid now?

The eldest cousin, Zhang Pei, has a much more stable temper, helping Jia Lian to manage Zhang Jun, "Cousin Lian is not a girl, how can he be said to be pretty, don't talk nonsense, be careful, second uncle hits you."

Zhang Jun was probably deeply touched by his own father's stick education, and he flinched immediately when he heard Zhang Pei's threat.Zhang Di, who was watching around, stared at a pair of grape-like eyes, looking here and there for a while, and then grinning silly.

Zhang Jun looked at it and immediately said, "Di'er is a child, Lian'er doesn't even smile, she doesn't look like a child at all."

Jia Lian really wanted to complain, dear, you are a child too!However, as an adult, he couldn't care about a child, so he could only bend the corners of his mouth and smile.He has recently started to learn the official system of the court from the Zhang family, and he has a general understanding of the official positions of his grandfather's family. He is very sure that this is the thigh that he must embrace. As for the cousin, of course, he must get along with him friendly, for the future If you don't get your house ransacked, it's nothing to sell it for a joke now.

Seeing that Jia Lian had left, Mrs. Jiang sent her two daughters-in-law out, so she asked Mrs. Zhang about the situation in Rongguo Mansion. After learning that her daughter was doing well now, she felt relieved, "You are now It's best if you think about it, no matter what, you still have Lian'er, as long as he lives up to expectations, are you still worried about your future?"

"Mother, I've thought about it a long time ago." Now it's only herself and Mrs. Jiang that she changed her name. Her mother's family and her son are worthy of her concern. How could Mrs. Zhang not understand, "Nor Will be stupid again."

"That's good," Jiang said with a little comfort, "I heard that you also let Lian'er go to school, did the gentleman you invited read it carefully?"

Mrs. Zhang shook her head, "How do I see it? After the uncle and the master of the family talked about it, he asked Lian'er to study with Zhu'er. He didn't even invite another gentleman. I heard that Lian'er seemed to be able to learn." That's right, but that gentleman's knowledge is a failure, so forget about enlightenment, if you want to learn in the future, you still have to ask your mother to help you worry about it."

"What's the problem?" Mrs. Jiang responded immediately, "Of course I'll let your father and brothers look for it carefully. If the mansion is in trouble, why not come to our house to study?"

The Zhang family studied and enshrined the great Confucianism, which the Zhang family has always known. What's more, if Jia Lian came to study in the Zhang family, in addition to being kind to the husband, he would also be able to often receive advice from his grandfather and uncle, which is even more rare. "Then I will rely on my mother." Mrs. Zhang said with a smile, letting go of a big stone in her heart.

When the banquet was ready, Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Zhang went out together. Although it was said that they were eating together as a family, Mr. Zhang is now a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and many people gave gifts to Mrs. Jiang on her birthday. Although not too many people came, they were not too few either.

Zhang was still worried that Jia Lian would not get used to eating at such a table, so he sent Bi Wen to ask, but when he heard that Jia Lian and Zhang's cousins ​​were doing very well together, he felt relieved.After hearing this, Mrs. Jiang felt even more satisfied with this grandson, and felt much more at ease about her daughter's future.

Zhang Jun looked at Jia Lian, who was serious about eating by himself, and thought it was quite interesting, "Lian'er, you are so smart, your food is much better than Di'er's."

Zhang Di was a little upset when his brother said that, so he pushed away the wet nurse and ate by himself to show that he was also a smart child.

Jia Lian immediately praised, "My cousin is so smart!"

After Zhang Pei and Zhang Jun heard his words, they couldn't help but curl their mouths. This kind of little doll's feeling of praising the little doll is really joyful!Zhang Jun was the most exaggerated, almost buried his face on the table and laughed wildly, but Zhang Di was very satisfied with what Jia Lian said, and the meal became more enjoyable.
