[Red Mansion] Mother Jia has a paralyzed face

On the day of returning home, Jia Hu accompanied Xie Pingyuan back together. He had been to Xie's house many times, and he had received a lot of teaching from his father-in-law during the time of participating in the examination, so he was very close to Xie's family.

Mrs. Zhang prepared a grand homecoming gift for them to bring along with them. This meant that the Jia family was very satisfied and valued Xie Pingyuan's new daughter-in-law. Mrs. Xie didn't let down the smile when she saw her.

Since Jia Hu also wanted to follow his wife to recognize the relatives of the Xie family, there were quite a few people in the Xie family today, and since most of them were scholars or came from a family of scholars, everyone seemed to have a bookish air about them. The Jia family is different.

The Xie family is a large family with many members. Many of them are still staying in their hometown in the south of the Yangtze River or working in other places. Today, the Xie family in Beijing has higher official positions.

When they met each other, a man with a crown like jade introduced himself: "Speaking of which, I still have a relationship with my cousin-in-law. Dean Zhong of Guangling Academy is Shao'an's grandfather."

When Jia Hu heard this, this was the astonishingly talented No. [-] scholar from the second room of the Zhong family that Fang Fang said, and also the brother of the young lady of the Zhong family. He knew that he would meet, so he was not surprised.

And because of Ms. Zhong's matter, even if he avoided suspicion afterwards, he couldn't pretend that this matter had never happened, but even so, there was no disturbance in his heart, and he even acted a little closer because of the previous teachings of the grand master. .

Seeing this, Zhong Shao'an smiled and said: "We can be regarded as senior brothers. If we are free, why don't we sit together and drink tea?"

"Senior brother, if you have nothing to do, you can call me, Hu will definitely go there happily." Since he said he was a senior brother, Jia Hu followed him and called his senior brother directly to show his closeness.

After the meeting, the others left, the husband and wife also left, and Jia Hu went to the study with his father-in-law, brother-in-law and nephew. He said he was a nephew, but he was not much younger than Jia Hu.

"Which part are you planning to develop after you leave the museum?"

Jia Hu thought about it, and replied carefully: "As long as I stay in Beijing, I am willing to obey the deployment, but my second uncle is in the Ministry of Industry, so I will definitely not go there."

Mrs. Xie nodded, "You are young but serious, you can take your time, but now you have to study hard in the past three years, which will be of great benefit to you in the future."

"Yes, father-in-law, don't worry, I will study hard."

Although Jia Hu was admitted as a good scholar, he has never slacked off. He is a very self-controlled and goal-oriented person, so even newlyweds will not always be intoxicated in the gentleness, and still spend a lot of time studying every day.

And it is indeed like what he said to his father-in-law, he doesn't care which department he gets into after three years, of course, because he is very sure that he will not be assigned to a place that is too bad, compared with some lucky people , he has always been very calm, without the slightest sense of anxiety about the future, which is an innate advantage brought by his family background.

"You and Errui are about the same age, so you can talk a little bit more. If you have nothing to do, you can guide him a little bit." Master Xie said to the eldest son: "Learn more from your uncle, and your temper will settle down."

Errui is the eldest son of my uncle, and now he is only ten years old, but he is amazingly gifted. Although the Xie family did not let him go back to take the county examination, his knowledge is already enough to try the township examination, and the Xie family is also planning to let him solidify his knowledge Then go back and try to pass it once.

After hearing what his father said, Er Rui smiled and helped his new uncle refill a cup of tea, and said, "Er Rui is going to trouble uncle."

"No trouble. My father-in-law helped me a lot back then. My two younger brothers also need to take the imperial examination. You can learn from each other."

Jia Hu was very happy about this. In fact, with the abilities of his father-in-law and brother-in-law, he didn't need to guide him at all, but since his brother-in-law asked, he was of course willing to have a closer relationship with the next generation of Xie family's wonderful heirs.

Moreover, as the eldest brother, he also has some responsibilities to his younger brothers. Zhu'er and Lian'er also have to take part in the provincial examination, but now it is still a bit too late. Only by helping each other can the Jia family prosper.

If they can study together with Xie Errui, then the younger brothers can also get some teaching from their father-in-law. As for Jia Lian's reluctance to continue taking the exam, heh~ it's up to him!

On the other side, only Xie Pingyuan, mother and daughter were left in the room, before asking her daughter: "Are you used to living in Jia's house? Are you used to the rules of Xungui's house?"

Xie Pingyuan nodded, poured a cup of tea for his mother and said, "Don't worry, mother, my husband's family treats me very well, there is nothing I'm not used to."

"What about the second wife of the Jia family? I heard that their old lady was partial to the master of the second house in the early years..." Although I checked the affairs of the Jia family, Mother Xie was still a little worried.

"Daughter sees that grandmother treats her husband and grandchildren better. Mother, you can rest assured that the sisters-in-law are easy to get along with. My mother-in-law didn't let me serve the meal. My daughter didn't feel wronged at all."

Seeing that her daughter really didn't seem to have been wronged, Mother Xie felt relieved, took a sip of tea and ate some fruits, and then said politely: "Then Jia Hu treats you well?"

Xie Pingyuan nodded shyly, and replied: "My husband is very careful. On the day of the wedding, I specially asked my sisters-in-law to accompany me, prepared food for me, and asked me to remove the phoenix crown to freshen up..."

"Then..." Xie's mother opened her mouth and still didn't say anything, but Xie Pingyuan somehow understood her mother's meaning, even though she was shy, she still told the truth: "My husband is very gentle, and he asked me if I was not feeling well the next day, so I didn't say anything." ...and only once every night, last night because I have to go back home today, so the husband is considerate of his daughter, just resting together."

Xie's mother had heard from her husband that Jia Hu was a very self-controlled person, but he didn't expect that he could control himself in such a matter, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

In this way, she believed Jia Hu's pre-marriage promise seventy percent in her heart, and left the rest to be seen later. As for whether he paid too much attention to the maidservants around her daughter, presumably it didn't take much for her daughter to be so sweet. asked.

"Although the family background of Jia's family is high, there is a gap in the middle. Now that the son-in-law grows up, he is expected to flourish again, and he will not fall down. Your father also valued Jia Hu's character and betrothed you to the Rongguo Mansion back then. You must tell your family, your father and brother will not ignore it."

Xie Pingyuan leaned on his mother's shoulder and nodded slightly, "My daughter understands."

If you want to stay at Xie’s house all day, you are all scholars, and the things you do to pass the time in your spare time are elegant, but although Jia Hu also reads, but the Six Arts doesn’t put much thought on other than riding and shooting, so no matter what Whether it's playing chess or reciting poems and composing Fu, he basically sits on the sidelines and cheers, and Xie's family members know it too, so they don't make things difficult for him.

In the Rongguo Mansion, the young couple went back home, and Zhang's tasks were considered to have completed a stage before he had time to take care of other things.

Jia She's aunt Zijuan gave birth to a daughter, but she is not in good health and is still bedridden. Most of the child's affairs are taken care of by Zhang's orders. Jia She mentioned it to her before, but Jia Hu I was not happy with my marriage, so I said to my mother-in-law today: "The fourth girl is in good health. My husband asked me to ask my mother, should the child's name be given?"

"Didn't he become a father?" Zhang Rui was a little surprised. Although she didn't ask, but the child has been born for such a long time, did the father not even give him a name?

"Isn't there too much to do? But when this girl was born from winter to spring, my husband first gave her a nickname, Yingchun."

Spring? !

She said it casually, but she didn't know that Zhang Rui's heart was churning. If she didn't mention this name today, she would almost forget it. Now that the Spring Festival is here, doesn't it mean that the Jia family will have a big wave of children coming soon?

"Mother? Mother!" Seeing what she said, Zhang's mother-in-law was in a daze, and couldn't help shouting: "Are you okay?"

Zhang Rui came back to his senses, shook his head and said: "I'm fine, the child's name will be named after her sisters according to Wang's generation, and you and your wife can decide."

It's useless to think too much, everyone is fine now, even if it's getting closer to that time, she's just going with the flow and the trend.

Jia Hu and his wife rushed back to Rongguo Mansion before nightfall. Mrs. Zhang knew that they would come back for dinner, so she asked the kitchen to wait for a while, and waited for them to come back before serving the meal.

Back to the door, I will go home for dinner this day. Zhang Rui feels a little noisy with so many people every day these days. Today, she asked each room to go back to each room to eat together. She only ate in the west courtyard with the kitten. dinner.

So that night, Jia Hu and his wife had a meal with their father, mother, younger siblings, and Jia Zheng's family of four sat together in the east courtyard.

After dinner, Jia Amnesty stayed in the main room, and Mrs. Zhang repeated her mother-in-law's words to him: "Yingchun is the son of Wang Zi, mother let us do what we want, master will give us a name."

Jia She was lying on the bed with his legs up and dangling leisurely. The first son was promising, the second son was lively, and the daughter was well-behaved and sensible. Jia She, who lost two children, didn't put too much emotion into this concubine daughter. Xiao Ming also knew that the child was in good health, so he didn't expect to die.

Listening to Mrs. Zhang now, I remembered that the second younger brother seemed to have written several names suitable for girls. After thinking about it carefully, he reluctantly remembered the word Lu, and said: "Let's call it Jia Lu. Tomorrow will make people happy." Tell it over there."

Mrs. Zhang has no objection, the father has already named her, and her aunt is not her own mother, so how can she worry about so much, let her take good care of her and grow up healthy, she will do her best.

Now that the name was settled and the girl didn't need to go to the genealogy, Mrs. Zhang asked her maid to tell Aunt Zijuan the next day, and the matter of the name was over.
