Jia Zheng through the Red Mansions

The next day, the Lin family was very busy with traffic, and Lin Ruhai was so busy that he couldn't get away. Jia Min was dressed in pale pink, holding the pretty little Daiyu in his arms and talking to the wives with a smile. Looking at his wife and daughter, his eyes are full of happiness.

Looking at Lin Ruhai and his wife in front of him, Jia Zheng felt a little lost. Happiness. In his previous life, he liked a man, but he couldn't express his love to others. He also expected his own happiness. It's just such a feeling. Even modern times can't say clearly, let alone ancient times with strict etiquette?There was a trace of bitterness in the drooping eyes.

At this moment, an old man and a young man were passing by the gate of the Lin Mansion. It was the young man and the old man who accidentally injured Jia Zheng in Luoyang. Seeing the bustling traffic at the gate of the Lin Mansion, the old man frowned and turned his head. Looking around at the pointing crowd, the old man walked up to another old man and asked, "Just ask, why is it so lively here? But what's wrong with a happy event?"

The old man replied: "Today is a banquet hosted by Mr. Lin for his daughter, and it is a great joy!"

Before the old man could speak, the boy asked curiously, "Are you a relative of the Lin family?"

The old man shook his head in a daze: "No."

"Then the Lin family gave birth to a daughter, why are you so happy?" the young man asked puzzled.

"You two are foreigners and don't know the details. When it comes to Mr. Lin, which one of us people in Gusu doesn't give a thumbs up and say a good word..." The old man said with spit, and the old man listened with interest.

After listening to this, the old man's face turned better, but the deep thought in his eyes became deeper. Looking at the young man next to him, the old man said, "Let's go to Hongxi, let's go to the Lin mansion to see the daughter of the Lin family!"

At this time, the Lin Mansion was very lively. Although the people at the door looked at the grandparents and grandchildren, they did not dare to stop them when they saw the extraordinary clothes and demeanor. The grandparents and grandchildren entered the mansion, and the old man looked at Lin Manor. The decorations and other things, as well as all the things in the banquet, were neither shabby nor luxurious, which exceeded the rules, and they nodded repeatedly.

The grandfather and grandson sat down in an inconspicuous corner, looking at the guests coming and going, the old man watched the boastful talk of those next to him coldly, only to see two fat middle-aged men boasting to each other about how dirty they were last year How much money, the young man raised his eyebrows and was about to attack, but was held down by the old man, the young man sat down angrily, looked around again, and the young man narrowed his eyes when he saw Jia Zheng.

But Jia Zheng didn't see the grandparent and grandson, he was talking with two famous people introduced by Lin Ruhai, but Jia Zheng could tell that when Lin Ruhai was around, the two were very polite and friendly. When Lin Ruhai left to entertain others, although the attitude of the two of them did not change, the hypocrisy of the smiles on their faces was very clear. Thinking about it, this is also a common problem of scholars. They look down on Jia Zheng, a nepotism who has not passed the imperial examination. .

Although he didn't care about these in his heart, Jia Zheng was a little annoyed by the hypocritical politeness. Seeing that Lin Ruhai and his wife were busy, and Jia Zhu was also busy being taught by these masters, Jia Zheng took the time to leave the lively place. main hall.

Almost no one in the hall noticed Jia Zheng's departure, but the young man kept looking at Jia Zheng. Seeing that he was going out alone at the moment, the young man said to the old man beside him, "I want to go out to get some air."

The old man didn't know what the young man wanted to do, but he also knew that his grandson could never sit still, so he nodded in agreement, told him not to cause trouble, and let him go.

After the boy left the main hall, he followed Jia Zheng all the way, and when he saw him leave the Lin residence, he chased after him.

Jia Zheng couldn't help turning his head when he heard the sound of running behind him. Seeing that it was the boy, Jia Zheng stopped.

"Hey, I hurt you last time, here is the best medicine for sores, here you are." The boy said with confidence, but his slightly nervous expression betrayed him.

Seeing the young man's awkward appearance, Jia Zheng wanted to laugh instead. He thought the young man was here to find fault, but he never thought that he was here to make amends indirectly. It's just that the excuse he made was too far-fetched. It's time.

Reaching out to take the medicine, Jia Zheng said, "The injury has healed long ago, I'm afraid you won't be able to use this medicine."

The boy's expression darkened when he heard that, and he reached out to snatch the medicine from Jia Zheng's hand: "Hmph, I'd rather give it to you if you don't need it, return it to me!"

Seeing the boy's hair blown, Jia Zheng's smile deepened, and he held the medicine bottle tightly in his hands: "There's no reason to go back and give away the things. I don't need them now, and I might use them in the future."

Seeing that Jia Zheng's expression didn't seem to be laughing at himself, the young man felt a little annoyed that he couldn't hold his breath, so he withdrew his hand, and the young man snorted coldly: "It was my fault for hurting you, but your son was at fault first!" Ri was taught by Huang Mafa for a long time, and he felt a little wronged.

"Zhu'er also knows that she was wrong, or I'll call him out and apologize to you." Jia Zheng laughed when he heard this.

"Really?" The young man was delighted when he heard this, hum, he wants to let Huang Mafa hear who is right and who is wrong between himself and that child!

After Jia Zheng nodded, the young man hurriedly dragged Jia Zheng back to the Lin Mansion. Jia Zheng called Jia Zhu to the grandparent and grandson. Jia Zhu saw that the young man was also a little uncomfortable: "I was wrong that day." first."

Seeing Jia Zhu's sincerity, the young man also threw the remaining sliver of anger in his heart to Java, took the old man's hand and said, "Look, he also said that he was wrong."

The old man shook his head helplessly, seeing that Jia Zhu really did not seem to be lying, he nodded secretly in his heart, he is a good seed!

Looking at Jia Zheng again, when I saw him in the restaurant, I only thought he had a kind face, but looking at his expression, he didn't seem to know me. Later, Xi'er accidentally injured his son, so I asked people to investigate, but they didn't It occurred to him that he was Jia Daishan's second son.

He was 16 years old when I appointed him an additional post of director, but now it has been more than ten years, during which he also paid attention to Jia Zheng. In the year when he realized that he was useless, he never thought of him again. Now it seems that the information he got at the beginning may not be true. Looking at the happy grandson next to him, the old man thought, what should he give to Jia when he goes back? Changed office!

At this time, Lin Ruhai also noticed that Jia Zheng took Jia Zhu to a corner, and when he looked over, Lin Ruhai was shocked, that old man...he wasn't...how could he be here?

Lin Ruhai greeted the guest who was talking, and then walked towards Jia Zheng and the others. After approaching, he became more and more sure of the old man's identity, and his face became more respectful. Just as he was about to salute, he saw the old man's eyes slightly raised Shaking his head, Lin Ruhai was satisfied that he didn't reveal the old man's identity.

It turned out that this old man was the current Emperor Kangxi. Lin Ruhai recognized Kangxi's identity through face saints many times, and Lin Ruhai's eyes naturally fell on the young man. From the attitude of the young man and the old man, one could guess the young man's identity. It's Huang Zhou, but I don't know which one it is.

After the banquet was over that night, Lin Ruhai wanted to find Kangxi again, but he didn't know where he left the Lin Mansion with the young man. Seeing Jia Zheng and Jia Zhu getting acquainted with these two people, Lin Ruhai wanted to remind him several times, but he didn't say anything. , That's all, it's a blessing, not a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided.

After the guests left in the evening, Jia Zheng still had a private talk with Lin Ruhai.

"Do you and your sister have any plans?"

Lin Ruhai was taken aback when he heard the words: "What does this mean?"

"I can see that although my sister loves Daiyu, she still regrets that she didn't have a brother." Jia Zheng said after thinking about it, "It's just that my sister is not young now, and Daiyu is so dangerous this time. I'm afraid..."

Lin Ruhai already understood when he heard this, and when Jia Zheng finished speaking, Lin Ruhai sighed, with a look of lingering fear on his face: "I am already satisfied to have Daiyu alone, and the doctor also said that this time Min'er consumed all the vitality. It’s too big, I’m afraid it will take three to five years to recover.”

Jia Zheng nodded, "I'm afraid my sister doesn't think so."

"I will untie her myself."

Hearing what Lin Ruhai said, Jia Zheng felt relieved. He remembered that Jia Min died of grief because of the early death of his second child. Min took the risk of having a child, hoping that this would save the younger sister's life.

On the second day, the father and son left Suzhou and rushed back to the capital. This time they went back by water. Jia Zheng was worried that Jia Zhu would get seasick, but Jia Zhu's health was much better after traveling this year. Jia Zheng was a bit overwhelmed by the boat ride.

After the waterway, there is the land road, and he hurried back to Jia's mansion very quickly.

People in Jia's mansion had already received the letter. As soon as Jia Zheng and his son entered the mansion, they were called by Jia's mother. Wa'er was sitting between Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Jia, staring at Jia Zheng and Jia Zhu with big round eyes. Next to Mrs. Wang was Yuan Chun. Tanchun, who is still a baby, can already sit and stand.

Mother Jia looked at Jia Zhu, who had obviously grown taller but also lost a lot of weight, and scolded the servants for not being able to serve her, and then ordered her servants to cook some nourishing soup for Jia Zhu, plus some more The pills nourish Jia Zhu's body.

Afterwards, they asked Jia Zheng about the Lin family, and then let them go back. When they returned to their own yard, Aunt Zhao was anxious to wait with the child in her arms. Seeing Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang coming back together from a distance, she dared not Going forward to let Jia Zheng look after the child, he bit his lip and went back to his room temporarily.

After returning to the house and changing into clean clothes, Jia Zheng asked about the family affairs. Mrs. Wang picked up some important things and said a few words: "When the master and Zhu Er left, the wife of the East Mansion was pregnant, but I never thought that it has been six months but she has had a miscarriage. I can already see what he looks like. He is a brother. Master Jing is also cruel. He only sent someone to ask a question and never came back. This wife has no children and is too old. Half-Life."

Jia Zheng nodded, he also remembered that Xichun was younger than Daiyu, so that was the case.

Mrs. Wang said a few more words, and at this time the servant girl came and said that the mother-in-law was looking for her wife to report the matter, so Mrs. Wang left the east room in a hurry. Soon after Mrs. Wang left, Aunt Zhao came with her child.

Jia Zheng looked at the child in Aunt Zhao's arms. He was Jia Huan who was famous for being wretched. Now he looked at the child but he looked smart. Jia Zheng took the child from Aunt Zhao's arms, thinking of just now The Baoyu I saw at Jia Mu's place, hey, the big Jia Zhu has already entered the Tao, but the two young ones are still ignorant, and there is a long way to go!

Aunt Zhao was very happy to see Jia Zheng hugging Jia Huan in person, and said quickly, "Master, girl Tan is now raised under the old lady's name, and I always want to leave a child by my side to raise by myself."

Jia Zheng thought for a while, and he understood what Aunt Zhao was worried about. However, looking at the virtues that Aunt Zhao raised Jia Huan in the original book, Jia Zheng was still somewhat conflicted, but seeing the aunt in front of him cautiously and looking forward Jia Zheng nodded his head, that's all, with himself on the left and right, this Jia Huan must not let him become a wretched boy!There is also Baoyu, who was raised and spoiled by the old lady, and it is time to take her back to her.

Aunt Zhao was overjoyed when she saw Jia Zheng nodded and agreed, she looked at Jia Zheng affectionately with her big eyes watery, it was a pity that she couldn't bear the beauty's kindness, Jia Zheng, a purely gay uncle, couldn't digest the affectionate gaze in front of her, so she used an excuse to say go Tell Mrs. Wang that Huan'er will stay with her aunt and leave Rongxi Hall.

Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang frowned when they heard that Aunt Zhao was going to raise the child herself. Mrs. Wang was in a conflicted mood. Miss Li's family is about the same age, and the two families are about to start preparing for their marriage. Zhu'er is her darling. Although mothers tend to favor the younger son more, Jia Zhu has grown up now. If she wins the imperial examination The future is boundless, so this marriage must not be sloppy. Although the in-laws are not big, they have a great influence on the imperial examination scholars. This marriage must be done The scenery is bright!In addition, the matter of choosing a wife for Jia Lian by the eldest house has not yet been settled, and this house must make the marriage as perfect as possible, so that she can't imitate it even if she wants to!

In addition, Baoyu is still young, even if Mrs. Wang wants to take Jia Huan from Aunt Zhao to raise her, she is powerless. Besides, Mrs. Wang is now pinning her hopes on Jia Zhu, and she is a little more relaxed about Jia Zheng. Even if Jia Huan raised by Aunt Zhao is outstanding, but Zhu'er is about to rise to the top now, Jia Huan is still a milk baby!When it's time to separate, let's see who speaks with weight!Thinking of this step, Mrs. Wang didn't care about Jia Huan any more.

On the contrary, Mother Jia was not happy in her heart. It seems that Aunt Zhao is still restless, but since her son has agreed, she doesn't want to refute Jia Zheng's face, so she just said in displeasure: "Women's family What do you care about as a man, if there is such a thing in the future, discuss it with your wife first." In Jia's mother's view, Mrs. Wang must be unhappy, and she doesn't know that Mrs. Wang no longer cares.

Jia Zheng quickly said yes, looking at Jia Mu's gloomy face, just about to say something, but saw the gatekeeper hurried in and said: "Master, Eunuch Li from the palace has come to issue an order, and he has already arrived outside the gate."

Mother Jia was startled when she heard the words, and asked quickly, "Which Eunuch Li is it?"

The gatekeeper replied, "It's Li Dequan, Eunuch Li."

Jia Zheng was also stunned now, okay, this Li Dequan is a famous figure!I can't remember the names of those Argo Gege, but the name of the chief eunuch is very familiar to him!

However, the eunuch's status and status would never allow him to pass orders. So, what's the matter with him appearing in Jia's mansion now?

The whole family in Jia's house panicked.
