Red Mansion: No Empty House Fight

At the end of July, a convoy quietly entered the border of the capital.Jia She and his group traveled lightly, and finally returned to the capital before Jia Shishi's birthday.

Xu Yong, who returned to Beijing first but did not return to Jia's mansion, led thirty boys and waited at Shiliting early in the morning.As soon as they saw the convoy of Jia She and his son, they immediately stepped forward to salute: "Sir, should you and the uncle and the second master go to Zhuangzi to rest for a while, or go home directly?"

Jia She thought for a while with the air of an old man, then turned to ask Jia Hu who had just gotten out of the car: "Hu'er, where are we going?"

"Of course I went back to the mansion immediately to meet the old lady."

"Brother! Brother!" Before Jia Hu's words fell, a three-headed little Douding jumped out of the carriage, it was Jia Lian.Jia Lian is four years old this year, just the age when he is energetic and clingy, and he can't leave people for a moment. "Father! Are you going home?"

"Yes, go home." Jia Amnesty took Jia Lian who was about to jump out of the car into his arms, embraced him and kissed him.This is his wife's precious son in exchange for her life.Jia Amnesty was very obedient to Jia Lian.

A group of people got into the car and set off again.The car arrived at Rongning Street, passed the Ning Mansion, and arrived at the gate of Rongguo Mansion, but the gate was closed tightly, and there was no door.

Xu Yong stepped forward to call the door, and after waiting for a long time, he saw a sleepy kid open the small door and come out.The kid didn't even ask who it was, and he scolded loudly: "You're blind! Do you know where this is? Any bastard will dare to knock on the door of the Duke's Mansion!"

When Jia She, who was sitting in the car, heard this, his heart became furious: "Shame on you! Prodigal! Don't be gagged and tied up! This kind of person comes to guard the front of my Jia family. The capital is stuck! Even the prince’s mansion doesn’t have as much face as you! My Jia family can’t afford to hire such a grandpa!”

Upon hearing Jia Amnesty's words, two boys immediately came up among the people brought by Xu Yong.Before Menzi shouted again, he untied his arms and tied his chin, and threw it on the ground.

A few other boys opened the middle door, and went to the second door with two maids to report.

Only then did Jia Amnesty get out of the car and enter the mansion with his old son Jia Lian in his arms.

Jia Hu took a step behind, and when passing by the door on the ground, he glanced at the clothes of the door, and then at Bisha.Bisha nodded immediately, and stepped back a few steps to find Jia Hu's servant, Taiping.

Menzi is indeed a lucrative errand, but it is not so lucrative that he is wearing dozens of taels of Suzhou embroidery and a hundred taels of waistband.What's more, this arrogant attitude is purely to increase hatred for the old Jia's family.If people like this have been working as disciples for the past few years, then the Jia family won't have to be human in the future.

The three of father and son entered Rongqing Hall, the little girls in Jia Shi's yard were flustered for a while, and then they opened the curtain and invited the three of them into the house.

Sitting on the front seat in the room is Mrs. Jia Shi, beside him is Mrs. Jia Yuanchun, and Mrs. Wang is on the upper right.

At this time, Jia Zheng was already in the yamen of the Ministry of Industry, and Jia Zhu was also studying at home, so neither of them was in the mansion.

Seeing the three people entering the room, Jia Shishi's face contorted for a while, presumably he thought of the empty old library and the study inside and outside like a snow cave.When Wang saw the three of them, he also clenched the handkerchief tightly, but he didn't order his servants to place kneeling mats for the three of them to salute.

Jia Hu didn't care, she just raised her hand, and immediately three maids put on the kneeling mat, saluted and got up.

"Boss, you still know how to come back! Let me ask you, where are the things in Curry? Have you ruined all the foundations saved by your ancestors?" Seeing the three of them getting up, Jia Shi immediately raised an issue.

Mrs. Wang also immediately interjected: "Uncle, I'm afraid I don't know that life is difficult. You have lost your ancestor's foundation, and the relationship between the past three years has been supported by the old lady and me."

"Second Aunt's words are strange." Jia Hu didn't want to save Wang's face at all, "It's fine if it's normal, but our Jia family has only kept filial piety for three years. The door of filial piety is locked tightly to avoid reciprocity. It's a well-known thing. I don't know whose family the second aunt has relationships with?"

"The elders are talking, why are you interrupting?" Jia Shishi resented Wang's inability to speak and gave Jia Hu a handle on his words, while resenting Jia Hu for not knowing what to do.

"The old lady's words are wrong!" Jia She immediately stepped forward to help his son when he saw that his son was being scolded. "After all, Hu'er is also the eldest grandson of the eldest son, and the owner of the mansion in the future. This ancestral inheritance is passed down to Hu'er. Huer asks if there is any problem with this matter of reciprocity?"

In a word, it stabbed Jia Shishi and Wang's heart.

Jia Hu was impatient to argue with these two people, and got up directly: "Today, my father and I have to go back to rest, so that we can visit my grandfather tomorrow. My grandson is leaving now."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the two women to answer, Jia Hu took Jia She and Jia Lian and went out.When he came to the door, Jia Hu suddenly remembered something and said loudly, "Three obediences and four virtues, husband and death obey sons", and left without looking back.

The porcelain in Rongqing Hall changed again.Only this time, no gossip was revealed.

Just when the three of Jia Amnesty were meeting at the Rongqing Hall, Xu Chong led more than 100 military slaves and 200 servant girls, except those who worked in the Rongqing Hall and served the second house owner personally. All the servants except for the servants were handed over the errands.

Jia Hu looked at his outside study which had been restored to its original state, picked up the reading notes brought by his uncle from Guangdong and began to study.In the face of absolute power, all conspiracies are paper tigers.Who wants to fight with you a little bit and win the loyalty of a few servants?Take it directly and replace it with someone you can use, which will make it difficult for you.

Jia Zheng, who returned home that night, was dumbfounded.Because he knew that the name of Rongxi Hall he lived in was not correct, so he didn't go to Jia She to say anything, but instead had a generous appearance of "I don't care too much with my elder brother".

Jia Zhu didn't have such a good attitude.After all, he is young and energetic, and all the things in the study outside have been cleared out, and the courtyard where he lives has also become Jia Hu's martial arts arena.It's so deceiving!

Jia Zhu went straight to Jia Hu's residence, but she didn't even see the Lord's face, so she was dragged back to the courtyard by several servants.A few servants carried Jia Zhu back to the yard, and they didn't leave in a hurry. Instead, they talked to Jia Zhu with a smile on their faces: "Master Erfangzhu, we know that you must be wondering why your study and residence have been changed. You are resting today." It's early, and I will tell the little one to come and call you back."

When Jia Zhu heard the servant's address, her face flushed with anger.What is Master Erfangzhu?I am the uncle of this country's government!

The servant didn't seem to see Jia Zhu's expression, and continued to say with a smile: "My lord, let us tell you, Erfangzhu, so that you can remember what is an elder and younger concubine. Although your father, the second master, is also a concubine, but after all It is the second room. After the old lady died, the old man took the title, and your father, the second old man, is already a side branch. Just because the old lady is still there, the second old man and his family are allowed to live in the mansion. But after all, your family is guests, and the host family It’s fine when you’re not there. When the host comes back, if there are no guests, they will occupy the host’s house and cause trouble to the host’s life. You must know that the saying “Guests follow the host” is not just a joke of."

As soon as this young man finished speaking, another young man immediately picked up: "By the way, the uncle also said that when the master and the uncle and the second master saluted the old lady in the Rongqing Hall today, Miss Erfang Yuan was sitting next to the old lady. I accepted the gift from the three gentlemen without avoiding it. Although it is from my own family, I can see from this that the rules of Yuanda girl may not be learned well, and she doesn't even know the status of the elder and the younger. The uncle hopes that Erfangzhu will If you can fulfill your elder brother's responsibility, don't let Miss Yuanda lose her manners when she goes out to play with daughters from other mansions."

The third servant also came forward with a smile: "There is another small matter, my uncle hopes that Erfangzhu will know. When I saw the old lady today, I had to give a big gift, but the little girl in the room didn't know how to kneel down to the three masters." Pad, it can be seen that they are used to being loose on weekdays. It is not good for the uncle to enter the inner house and talk about these things with his second aunt, but in the end the virtue of the slave is the face of the master. It is fine if the second aunt is illiterate and can't manage the slave well. It would be a great crime for the slave to lose face of the Jia family, I hope that Master Erfangzhu will tell the second wife that the shameful servant has already cleaned up for the second wife, I hope the second wife does not have to worry."

No matter how angry and angry Jia Zhu was, Jia Hu stayed up all night, but Jia Hu had a good night's sleep.Early the next morning, he took his father and younger brother in good spirits and went to the Taifu's Mansion in the inner city to visit relatives.

The Zhang family, who had received the news a long time ago, said that even though none of the top-ranking middle-aged men of this generation were in the capital, the grandparents, two aunts, three cousins, and two cousins ​​were all waiting at home for the three members of the Jia family.

The Zhang family is not a thousand-year-old family, but it is also a big family of farming and studying.The Zhang family adhered to the family motto that one concubine can only be taken after thirty children. Jia Hu's grandparents only had two sons and one daughter.One of the two sons is now the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and the other is serving in Zhili.Jia Hu's grandfather was the teacher who was pointed out by the late emperor. Although he has been honored and raised now, every New Year's day, the rewards from the palace are not missing at all.The old lady Fu is full of peaches and plums, worrying about her fame, she has been suppressing her two sons.The royal family also knew the Zhang family's attitude and did not make it difficult.

Jia Hu followed the three cousins ​​into the mansion, and was about to follow his father Jia She to meet his grandfather in the study, when he was "kidnapped" by the nanny next to his grandmother into the inner house before he reached the second gate.

"You little heartless! You are all a family, what kind of politeness are you talking about?" Zhang's mother was very dissatisfied with her grandson's behavior of not entering the inner house to see the female relatives because of "different seats", and directly said without waiting for Jia Hu to salute Beat it.

Everyone laughed and made a fuss, but they made up all the strangers they hadn't seen for a few years. Coupled with Jia Lian's childish speech, the inner hall continued to laugh.After lunch, Jia Hu followed his grandfather into the study.

"Your father said that you are going to participate in the Qiu Wei in the capital this year?" The old lady asked Jia Hu straight to the point, "You are not ready yet, so you are reluctant to participate. Although you can win, I am afraid that you will only be ranked in the middle. If you wait again In three years, Jie Yuan is not out of the question."

"Grandpa, what you said is true, but time waits for no one." Jia Hu patted the old lady's shoulder affectionately, "It's not like you don't know the situation of the Jia family now. I can afford to wait, but the Jia family can't afford to wait."
