Rebirth of the Zhang family in the Red Chamber

"Husband, Zhi'er is still so young, how can I let her leave my side without worry, husband..." The weather is getting warmer, and the old man has already started to let the slaves pack their bags, and also told them to leave for Gusu in two days. Thinking of the old man leaving so soon, and thinking of his daughter leaving him, he finally couldn't help crying.

Zhang Wenxi hugged his crying wife, feeling uncomfortable.But they have lived in the capital for a long time, and his father has no one to support him all year round, so he feels guilty towards his father and mother in his heart.So no matter how much he was reluctant to part with his daughter, he still accepted his father's wish, "Ma'am, as a husband, I would also be reluctant to part with Zhi'er, but my father used to envy the happiness of his father-in-law's children and grandchildren around his knees. I really can't bear to support my father's wishes."

Mrs. Liu knew that her father-in-law was envious of her old man and sister-in-law's old man. Both his family and his uncle's family were in the capital and couldn't live happily ever after. Father-in-law didn't want to be involved in the confrontation between the old and new nobles, and he didn't want to live in the capital for long.

His Majesty is also concerned about the upbringing of the sons. Without ensuring that the next generation of the Zhang family has established a firm belief in the royalist party, the sons cannot follow the old man south.

As for daughters, girls should be pampered, it does not involve family inheritance, and their Zhang family has ancestral training, girls are not allowed to enter the royal family, so they are not within the scope of the Holy Majesty's investigation, so it is absolutely fine to take away the granddaughter.

Seeing her husband sighing and shaking his head helplessly, he knew it was really going to die.She knew that even if Zhi'er went to Gusu with the second elder, she would not be wronged, and she might be more comfortable than living in the capital, but she still didn't want her daughter to leave her.

The sad couple didn't notice the boys at home. After eavesdropping on their conversation under the wall outside the window, they quietly left again.

"Brother, my sister is going to be taken away by my grandfather, what should I do?" Yingzhe was the youngest, and at first he couldn't help it, and asked Yingyi, the oldest, for advice.

Yingyi, as the eldest grandson of the Zhang family, is the leader of the brothers. In matters like this, he basically needs to ask his elder brother for his opinion first.

"Jiangnan has always been a place of cultural prosperity. The literati in the south of the Yangtze River are widely distributed, and the literary atmosphere is strong. It is more suitable for studying than the capital. I have also admired Bailu Academy for a long time. This time, I asked my grandfather to take me to Gusu and enter Bailu Academy. Even if it’s not for the imperial examination, it’s good to have more students with good character and learning.” Ying Yi gave a high-sounding reason, and the eyes of the next few brothers were brightened, the youngest of them Yingzhe has already started elementary school, and the reasons for studying are common to them, and there is a high possibility of success.

In order not to leave their sister, the boys don't think it is bad to leave their parents. They are men, and sooner or later they have to learn to be on their own. Now they are just going out to study. In their opinion, this is nothing at all.

"Since we all have the desire to go to Jiangnan to study, how about going to petition our grandfather now?" Ying Rui knew that if he asked his parents about this matter, they would definitely not agree, but if he asked his grandfather, there was still great hope.

When Zhang Wenxi and his wife were still sad about their daughter's going to leave, they had no idea that their son and nephew would also abandon them and follow their sister.

After the old man heard the thoughts of his grandsons, his heart skipped a beat, and then he thought about it. Not long ago, the Holy Majesty rewarded several cabinet ministers who compiled history books, including Wenxi, but there was a jade carving that the Holy Majesty specially crossed the capital. The house, instead, sent the reward to the old house in Gusu, and gave it secretly. He only received the news from the housekeeper of the old house in Gusu yesterday that the jade carving was a jade carving for descendants.

He hadn't understood what the Holy Majesty meant before, but now that his grandson said it, the old man thought he understood what the Holy Majesty wanted to express when he rewarded the jade carving, and grinned thinking about the old man.

The more the old man thought about it, the happier he was. In the end, he looked up to the sky and laughed endlessly. Haha, at the beginning he wanted to keep his eldest grandson by his side to raise him. The elder said that Ying Yi, as the eldest son and grandson, should take on the responsibility of the next generation of Patriarch.Only when the children grow up together can they have a deep relationship, have more centripetal force, and be more united in the future, so that there will be no disaster of brothers fighting against each other.

Of course, these are actually deliberately told to outsiders, in fact, it is just to win the trust of the emperor.The reason for this is that the old man once taught the current Holy Majesty for a period of time by chance, but at that time the Holy Majesty was still an unfavorable prince, an invisible person in the palace, so few people knew about it.

Later, the Holy One and his brothers fought for the throne, and the old man secretly supported the Holy One, helped the Holy One a lot, and naturally taught himself many things that others didn't know about.After the Holy Majesty succeeded in assuming the position, the old man retired and returned home.

Due to his childhood experience, the current Holy Majesty has a particularly strong desire to control. The old man helped him ascend the throne, knowing too many secrets about him, and he didn't hold the old man's life. The children and grandchildren were all brought up by their father in Beijing. Perhaps it is more appropriate to say that they grew up under the supervision of the Holy Majesty. None of them were brought up by the great Confucianism of the old man.

"Grandpa?" Facing the old man's laughing beard trembling and his face flushed red, Yingzhe expressed his doubts. Your old colleague disagrees enough to give a correct answer. This kind of laughing will attract father, but what should I do? .

The old man stopped laughing, stroked his beautiful beard, stroked his robe, sat back on the grand master's chair, faced the eager eyes of his five grandsons with a serious and serious expression, and said, "Ahem, can you have the ability to learn like this?" Heart, grandpa is naturally supportive. But you are still young now, it’s okay to go to Bailu Academy in a few years. Both our family and your grandfather’s family have family education, and they are not worse than Bailu Academy What's the matter, even if you go to Gusu, your grandparents miss you very much, and most of your cousins ​​have never seen each other, so you can be more intimate and intimate when you go this time."

Yingyu and Yingzhe heard that their grandfather agreed, and immediately smiled excitedly on their faces. They put their heads together and began to discuss where they would pass from the capital to Gusu, and what they should prepare. , What to bring as a salute, completely forgotten things will naturally be cleaned up by the servants, and the two young masters will need to do it themselves.

As the boss, Yingyi was quite able to hold on, with a calm expression on his face, but there was still a gleam of excitement in his eyes, and he was secretly happy in his heart.

Ying Bo was reticent since he was a child, he liked martial arts more than literature, and he was not good at words on weekdays. Although he was excited at the moment, he couldn't say anything, but on the wheat-colored skin that was tanned by martial arts, a rare reddish color appeared .

Yingrui is the one with the most ghostly ideas among the brothers. At the moment, he thinks more, not only that the journey is not Gusu, but the goal they are aiming for in this way, his little sister. His sister must be closer to him than his father.Thinking that his younger sister would grow up slowly under his company, and he could see her every day, while his father could only look at Gusu and lament, he couldn't help but want to cheer.

With excitement and happiness, the brothers resigned from their grandfather, returned to their own yard, and began to order the servants to pack up their luggage and things, and be ready to leave at any time.

After Qingzhi was born, the three boys of Zhang Wenhan's family basically lived in the second uncle's house for eight out of ten days in order to visit their younger sister conveniently, and lived in the same yard with Brother Yingrui and Yingzhe.

Zhang Wenhan and Zhang Wenxi are happy to see that their brothers have such a good relationship. Anyway, they are still young, and they don’t have a big social circle. Even the friends they entertain are just urchins of the same age, and they are all children of their parents and colleagues. It’s nothing good For those who are taboo, it’s okay to live in a big courtyard, so I let them.

Mrs. Song happened to be at Mrs. Liu's place that day, so the young masters' commotion in the yard couldn't be hidden from them. Not long after, the two wives went to their sons' yard with a bunch of maids.

When the two entered the yard, they saw the servants busy moving things up and down, and the sons directing. Seeing his son coming out of the house, Mrs. Song immediately asked, "Yi'er, what are you brothers doing?" what?"

"Mother, Auntie, why are you here at this time, the yard is busy packing things, the sons thought they were done here, so I will tell you in person"

As Ying Yi said, he took the maid's hand to support his mother, and walked towards the house where the brothers used to entertain guests.Yingrui, who heard the sound, also went to his mother's side. Of course, he was not as tall as his elder brother, and he couldn't pretend to be helping the adult, so he could only stay by his mother's side.

After entering the house, as soon as she sat down, Liu couldn't help asking her son, "What are you doing packing up? Why doesn't mother know that you are going out? Did your father say which house you are going to visit?"

After Yingyi and Yingrui looked at each other, the eldest Yingyi answered, "Auntie, we know that my grandparents will bring my younger sister to Gusu in two days. We brothers haven't seen our grandparents for a long time, and we miss them very much. With the consent of my grandfather, I will bring some of my brothers with me when I go to Gusu. My grandfather said that the family education of our family and maternal grandfather's family in Gusu is excellent, and it is not inferior to the official education in Beijing. The teachers are also the elders of the family, and they are more attentive than the gentlemen of the official school. Another point is to let the sons get along with their cousins ​​more, so as not to become estranged for a long time. This trip to Gusu, for a while We won’t be returning to the capital for a while, so our brothers are packing up our daily luggage.”
