[Red Mansion] Mother Jia has a paralyzed face

Jia Lian got himself drunk, and although he was given hangover soup, Mrs. Zhang still invited a doctor. After seeing him, she concluded that there was nothing wrong with him, so she was relieved.

Zhang Rui wrote a letter to Jia Hu about his embarrassment. Jia Hu was still in the academy when the letter was delivered, and Jia Min sent his servants to the academy when he received it.

When Jia Hu got the letter from home, she bid farewell to her classmates and went back to the dormitory. When she opened the letter and read it, she couldn't help laughing.

The dormitories of Guangling Academy are shared by two persons, without special privileges, so Jia Hu was already prepared from the moment he decided to come in to study. Although he was really not used to it at the beginning, this kind of study life is not the same as before. Gradually also like it.

Since he did not reveal his identity, there are indeed some talented people in Guangling Academy, so the appearance of Jia Hu did not bring any difference to the academy. If the only thing that is more eye-catching is that Jia Hu often goes in and out of the dean just home.

When someone asked, Jia Hu did not deceive, but explained with some concealment: "My uncle is a student of the dean, and he begged the dean to guide me a little, so Jia Hu was able to come and go to Zhong Jiaoxi's house."

The students are not suspicious of Jia Hu's words, because there are indeed other students who asked Mr. Zhong for their studies and heard him call Dean Zhong "Master". Dean Zhong and Professor Zhong have always loved talents. Not stingy, so most people feel should and no special relationship.

However, judging by Jia Hu's clothes and behavior, he must have a good family background, but only a few people know that his uncle is Lin Ruhai, and his aunt is the legitimate daughter of the Rongguo Mansion.

Jia Hu was younger, so his roommate Zhong Jiaoxi arranged for an older rich man named Fang Fang, who was very open-minded and generous, and many people in the academy could speak well, so he was just right to take him with him. With Jia Hu quickly blending in.

It's just that sometimes Jia Hu feels a little talkative. As soon as he entered the dormitory, Fang Fang saw Jia Hu's smiling face and immediately said in surprise: "Jia Hu, aren't you reading a love poem written by a young lady? You actually laughed. So happy!"

Jia Hu had been in the academy for a long time, and he became more vivid. When he heard this, he rolled his eyes and said speechlessly, "Senior Brother Fang, don't make such jokes. It's just that I received a letter from home."

"A letter from home? Are you going to be engaged?"

"Why can Senior Brother Fang only think of this?"

Fang Fang shrugged his shoulders, sat casually on the chair, and said, "It's not surprising that you're engaged at your age~ Young Mu Ai, it's only human, you're so boring."

Jia Hu didn't do what he wanted, shook his head and said, "No, it's my younger brother who stole the elder's wine and passed out."

"Sure enough, it's such a boring thing." Fang Fang was a little disappointed as he expected, shook his head and moved closer to Jia Hu, asking curiously, "What kind of future wife do you want to find?"

Jia Hu didn't show any shyness on his face, he calmly put the letter back in the envelope, and said: "As my parents ordered, and as my matchmaker said, I will obey the arrangement of my elders."

"Even so, it doesn't hinder the ideal of what kind of person it is?"

Jia Hu replied without thinking, "As long as my grandmother and mother like it, it is the most suitable for me."

Most of the academy is full of mature men, literati are affectionate, Fang Fang will not go to the dirty places in Huajie and Liuxiang like some people, but he will also pay attention to the affairs of the girls from various families mentioned by his classmates, so he absolutely does not trust Jia Hu No idea at all!

Turning his eyes, Fang Fang suddenly asked meanly: "Have you met the lady of Dean Zhong's family? I heard that the daughter of Dean Zhong's second son grew up next to the dean. She is beautiful, intelligent and beautiful. Jia Hu, have you seen it?"

Jia Hu often went to Dean Zhong for advice, and the yard wasn't very big, so it was inevitable that they would meet each other, but men and women could not kiss each other. as said.

Of course, even if he saw it inadvertently, Jia Hu wouldn't say anything to the man, so he just turned his head and didn't reply.

Fang Fang, however, was interested in talking, and continued to say with great interest: "I heard that Dean Zhong's second son was an amazing and talented person back then. Everyone said that the future is bright, but it is a pity that the husband and wife died young, leaving only a son and a daughter."

Jia Hu didn't respond, Fang Fang didn't care, and said to himself: "If you say that this Jiangnan gentry is good at raising children, the Zhongmeng family has been a scholar for generations, and the second son of the Zhong family, Zhong Shao'an, was the number one scholar handpicked by the magistrate the year before last. , if you say that there are so young top three in this dynasty, there are not many other than him!" He said with some envy in his eyes.

But his uncle was one!So Jia Hu didn't feel admiration at all, but secretly complacent in her heart.

"Many students in the academy are looking forward to being favored by the dean. Although the parents of the second wife of the Zhong family are gone, a wonderful person like Ms. Zhong has an outstanding family background. Zhong Shao'an's wife is also the daughter of a high-ranking official in the capital. How many contacts, such flaws as having no father and no mother is really hard to cover up." The speaker sat next to Jia Hu, touched his arm, and reminded: "Jia Hu, you have good character and talent, and your family background should be good. Not bad, your uncle is Dean Zhong's student, so it's definitely easier for him to get into the dean's eyes than others."

This is for these ordinary students. Jia Hu knows that he is the eldest son of the Jia family, and the marriage needs to be considered by all parties. If it is for the development of the Rongguo Mansion, this marriage must have a greater impact on the future of the Jia family. I really don't have any thoughts about this, but I also thought that since Senior Brother Fang would say this, other people must have guessed it, and it seems that we should avoid suspicion in the future.

So Jia Hu shook his head at Fang Shixiong, and said: "Jia Hu knows the kindness of senior brother, but Jia Hu is the eldest son of the family, and the elders have their own decisions about marriage. If other senior brothers ask about it in the future, senior brother Fang must explain to Jia Hu." One or two, Jia Hu is very grateful."

Fang Fang saw that Jia Hu really had no idea, and he didn't force it. He patted his chest straightforwardly and said, "Why do you need to ask me for such a trivial matter, I will remember."

"Then thank you, brother."

Fang Fang waved his hands casually, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Are you going back to your aunt's house tomorrow? There will be a poetry meeting held by a classmate at Yiranju in the future, will you come to attend?"

"Who is the organizer?"

"It's the second son of the prefect of Yangzhou. At the poetry meeting, all local talents were invited. Didn't you say that your poetry and prose are difficult to improve? Maybe you will be inspired by seeing the masterpieces of talents."

Once Jia Hu thought it made sense, he agreed.

On the second day, Jia Hu was taken back to the Lin Mansion by his servants, and two classmates were picked up along the way. After letting them go, the steward of the Rongguo Mansion stayed behind to take care of Jia Hu and said with a smile, "Young Master and your classmates get along so well. , the old lady must be at ease in the mansion."

"It's right to enter the academy. Whether it's academics or communication with others, it's always a bit one-sided to work behind closed doors."

Those in charge only know a few words, and don't know how to benefit the young master's study, but as servants, the master has been selected as a scholar, and seeing a bright future, they are also happy, and they are very dedicated to serving , not to mention being able to have a bright future in Rongguo Mansion

Continue to serve others, this is a benefit that many people can't ask for, so naturally they all work hard.

Back in the Lin Mansion, Jia Hu first visited her aunt and talked about her life in the academy during this time. Lin Ruhai also came back, seeing that Jia Hu was indeed with his wife, she smiled and said, "I know you came back early today, Hu How is my son at the academy?"

"Your uncle will never come back early at ordinary times. It seems that he misses you."

Jia Hu just laughed and didn't speak, and waited until Lin Ruhai said a few sweet words to Jia Min before turning his attention to him again.

"My roommate invited me to attend the poetry meeting held by the prefect's second son tomorrow. Jia Hu thought it would be harmless, so he agreed."

Lin Ruhai nodded, and said with a smile: "It's good to go to more gatherings of talented scholars, but you have to learn to discriminate, not everyone is suitable for deep friendship, and you have to be upright."

"Hu'er will be vigilant."

Uncle approved it. Jia Hu, who was attending this kind of gathering for the first time, was a little bit looking forward to it. After lying down, he couldn't sleep. He could only recite the articles in his head, and he slowly fell asleep after reciting a few articles.

On the second day, Jia Hu made preparations early in the morning, and drove to the Yiran residence that Senior Brother Fang said in a carriage. Sit down in the corner of everyone's voice.

The students talked a lot, arguing endlessly about an article and an annotation. After a while, Fang Fang also arrived. After looking around, he saw Jia Hu sitting in a corner drinking tea, so he walked over.

"Jia Hu, let's go, senior brother will introduce someone to you."

Jia Hu knew Senior Brother Fang's kindness, so he didn't refuse him. As he got to know many people, all the people introduced by Senior Brother Fang were also very friendly to him, which shows that Senior Brother Fang is indeed very popular.

When the organizer of the poetry meeting came in, Jia Hu recognized two people next to him who had seen him when he went out with his uncle. Also come to participate in the poetry meeting, if I knew you were interested in this earlier, I could have brought you to participate earlier."

Fang Fang was a little surprised, Jia Hu smiled back, and said, "Hu has been taught by my uncle before, I never thought of this, and I have benefited a lot from coming here today."

"I heard from my father that you went to Guangling Academy to study, young master. At such an age, you have been admitted as a scholar and worked hard. I am much worse than you."

Jia Hu was humble in a hurry, reciprocated, and introduced Senior Brother Fang to the two sons, and they exchanged some greetings before sending him away. Fang Fang was watching this scene, although he already knew that Jia Lian's family was good, But today, seeing that the two young masters who usually stand above the top of the Yangzhou city were very polite to Jia Hu, he realized that his family background might be even more prominent than he thought.

Not to mention that scholars don't care about these things, obviously many people have noticed the conversation between Jia Hu and those two. Jia Hu saw that many people were paying attention to him, so he said to Fang Fang: "Brother Fang, let's go back and talk about things."

Fang Fang also saw the eyes of the people around him, knowing that this is not a place to talk, so he nodded and didn't say much.

Jia Hu felt a little satisfied. Uncle said that when making friends, one should learn to discriminate. Brother Fang's winking to know how to advance and retreat must be one of the reasons why he has so many friends.
