Jia Lu through the Red Chamber

Jia Zhen stared straight away. In the past, he only liked those young girls who were in the cardamom age. He didn't expect this elderly woman to have a special charm. She thought in her heart, but said in her mouth,

"These years, I have really suffered for you. Our Jia family is all rough people, so it's hard for you to marry. It's thanks to your teaching that Rong'er has such abilities!"

Mrs. Zhang said modestly, "We were originally ordered by our parents to be the matchmaker's words. Why should we marry or not? Besides, it is thanks to the old lady that Rong'er has some skills. He has a background in imperial examinations and has always taken care of Rong'er." If you want to thank him, go thank him!"

Jia Zhen nodded, "Father is indeed capable, but it's a pity that my qualifications were limited back then, so I could only rely on Brother Rong and Brother Qiang. It's getting late today, so I'm afraid it's not good to delay. We will go to greet the old man tomorrow morning Bar."

"That's why."

Jia Zhen asked again, "Brother Rong is 22 now. Back then I was in his hands at this time. I don't know how you look at it today?"

Mrs. Zhang sighed inwardly. Everyone in this world gets married early. Not necessarily that Wang Xifeng got married when she was fifteen or sixteen years old. It is really difficult for Jia Rong to delay until 22. Originally, she just thought that the imperial examination would have a reputation so that it would be easier to find relatives. But it was just this stubble, and then the Han family passed away to keep their filial piety, and there was turmoil in the court, and it was pushed to the present. Fortunately, Rong'er was not the only one who was delayed because of the court affairs.

"I like Wang Mengting and Liu Shanshan, but Wang Mengting's ordinary appearance may not make Brother Rong happy. Although marrying a wife is a good one, and taking a concubine is a good thing, but the husband and wife should be more harmonious.

Liu Shanshan is good-looking and generous, but Brother Rong is a literary student, and the daughter-in-law thought that if she could, she would choose from the scholarly family in Qingliu.

Qiu Zhiqing looked a little arrogant, Li Xiaowan didn't look very good, and she couldn't afford to be a clan wife. As for the other girls, she looked childish. Not too good. "

How does Jia Zhen know who belongs to whom? Jia Jing decides the big things, and he doesn't like to meet other girls, but thinking about the fathers and relatives of these people, it's not bad to think about it, so she said

"Don't worry, pick slowly. Anyway, Brother Rong is still young, and he is the eldest son and grandson. He is capable, and he is not afraid that he will not be able to pick a good child. Our family does not have many children. It doesn't matter what family or property it is. Those who have the character to be a clan wife and are good at giving birth are the best."

"My lord is right!"

Just as the two were whispering, it was rumored that Uncle Rong had arrived, and Mrs. Zhang couldn't sit still and came up to greet him.

Jia Rong entered the house and kowtowed to say hello, "Master and wife please."

Mrs. Zhang hurriedly helped him up, and seeing that his complexion was still a bit unwell, she asked,

"Good boy, aren't you feeling unwell? Why didn't you take a rest earlier and ran over?"

Jia Zhen is also very proud of this son, and echoed,

"Yes, since you are not feeling well, you should rest earlier."

Jia Rong didn't listen to what the two said, and asked,

"Father, mother, is today's banquet held for me?" Jia Rong's tone was very anxious, and a strand of red streaked her face.

Jia Zhen and Zhang thought he was shy, so they smiled at each other.

Jia Zhen even teased, "You are in your 20s and you are not married yet. Shall we choose a good one for you? Are you still planning to be a bachelor for the rest of your life?"

Hearing his absurdity, Mrs. Zhang gave him a sideways glance, and advised Jia Rong

"Don't listen to your father's nonsense, you have been tired for so long, you should go back and rest earlier!"

Hearing Zhang's words, Jia Rong's eyes lit up, "I really didn't show you!"

Jia Rong's tone was hurried, with a hint of joy, and Zhang Shi gradually realized that something was wrong. At Jia Rong's age, he didn't want to be confused by women because he wanted to take the imperial examination, but there was no one in the room. Arranging for him, this can be regarded as a strange thing in a family of powerful and powerful people. When it comes to talking about relatives, they should be shy and happy, so why do you say that you are happy instead of seeing each other?

Mrs. Zhang thought of some shady hobbies of those anointed dudes, could it be Rong'er?

Zhang's heart trembled, but she is the mother, Jia Zhen is still there, so it's hard to say clearly, but if she doesn't ask, she is very worried, so she can only ask carefully,

"In a blink of an eye, Rong'er has grown so big. A few years ago, it was either the imperial examination or the old lady who passed away and the court affairs. It's your mother's fault that you have been delayed so far."

As he spoke, he felt more and more that he was not good enough to delay his good son, and touched the corners of his eyes with a sad heart.

Jia Rong hurriedly persuaded, "What does this have to do with my wife? It's all just good luck."

"I saw a lot of girls for my mother today. They are all good children. They are all knowledgeable about books and etiquette. Their family background, character, and appearance are all top-notch. Just now your father told me that our family does not value family background or anything. As long as the child is well, I will ask you to pay my respects today, have you ever taken a fancy to that girl?"

At first, Jia Rong heard that Zhang's family should look first for herself, but it was not good, and then she heard that she did not value family background or something, and a wave of hope arose again, thinking that it was not easy to hide it from herself, so she gritted her teeth immediately. Kneel down again.

"Master, madam, my son has someone he likes in his heart, and I hope that the master and wife will fulfill it."

When Zhang heard him say that she had someone she liked, bitterness and soreness came together. She was so lucky and carefully supported that her eldest son had someone he liked, as if she had dug out her heart.But thinking about it rationally, it is better to have people who are happy than to be really fascinated by Longyang. For a while, there are all kinds of tastes, and I don't know what to say.

Jia Zhen didn't have such delicate ideas as Zhang's. Hearing his son say that he had someone he liked, he became interested. He thought his son was a fool in studying, and he didn't expect that there would be someone he liked.

He teased, "Which family is it from? Tell me and listen. If it's all right, I'll come to propose marriage in person."

"It's a girl from the Shen family." Jia Rong responded.

Jia Zhen and Zhang's racked their brains to think that the family in the capital was named Shen. Jia Zhen wanted to make friends with some dandies, but she didn't know much about the official family in the capital. never mind.

On the contrary, Zhang's family is the clan mansion and the person in charge of family etiquette, so both Xungui and Qingliu know something about it.

"Is it a girl from Mr. Shen's family, the servant of the Ministry of Rites?"

This girl from Mr. Shen's family has never had any social relations with their family, so she didn't invite her here today, but since Jia Rong likes it, she can come to discuss it with the cheek, Zhang thought sourly.

Jia Rong shook her head, "Not really."

Jia Zhen didn't bother to guess, so she asked directly, "Whose family got the child?"

"It's my classmate Brother Shen's family sister. He is in the same class as me, and also came from the same Jinshi."

Jia Zhen nodded, this is not bad.

"What does their family do?" Zhang asked.

"Brother Shen is the adopted son of the owner of Chengdong Library."

The owner of the library is good at collecting books, discerning books, and is willing to share them with poor scholars. Therefore, although he has no official status, he still has a good reputation among the people. It is possible to get a family like this, even if the status is low. Jia Zhen has no objection.

Only Mrs. Zhang was more careful, listening to Jia Rong's push and push, but not mentioning the girl's original family, so she asked worriedly,

"Then what are their biological parents doing?"

Seeing that Jia Rong couldn't hide it, she could only come one by one.
