[Red Mansion] Mrs. Lin, the Buddhist family

Jia Shu questioned Lin Xian carefully, and after confirming that the rumors spread by Weiyang were not true, he quickly took action and quickly quelled the rumors.As Jia Shu had expected, soon no one would associate the name Lin Xian with the youngest daughter of the Song family.

Even if there are still people who believe in the rumors and mention Lin Xian, at most they only say that he is good-looking, which attracts the admiration of beautiful women; The machine spread rumors and caused troubles, which ruined her reputation a bit.Few people have crossed the threshold that was about to be stepped on by matchmakers.

In the end, the head of the Song family couldn't bear the gossip, and hurriedly searched for a decent family to marry their daughter.

Although the marriage is good, it is not as complete as originally expected.

But before that, Jia Hu and Jia Zhu are finally going back to the capital from Weiyang.

This time when I went back to Jinling to take the college examination, Jia Hu and Jia Zhu lived up to expectations and successfully obtained the honor of scholar. 3 is already a very good ranking.

The news spread back to the Rongguo Mansion far away in the capital, which made Jia Daishan and others happy for a long time. Even Jia Jing strengthened his control over Jia Zhen because of this——

Even if they can't join Jia Hu and Jia Zhu, they usually win glory for the Jia family, at least they can't hold back the Jia family, right?

However, Jia Zheng was not in a good mood.

Since Jia Zheng was separated from the Rongguo Mansion with the title of the first-class soldier, it didn't take long for Jia Zheng to discover what the status of the second master of the Rongguo Mansion meant in the capital.He is obviously the head of the first prize military mansion, but his communication in the capital is not as good as when he was white.Even because the servants of the Rongguo Mansion broke their mouths, there were rumors that Jia Zheng's family was despised by Jia Daishan, which caused the nobles in the capital to avoid communicating with Jia Zheng's first-class general's mansion.

Jia Zheng went out to try to get in touch with the people he had made friends with before, but he repeatedly hit the wall.He is not an eloquent person, so that in the end he cut off contact with most of his friends and stayed at home every day, with a depressed look and a bad temper.

Jia Zheng regretted his recklessness more and more, and almost all day long he gave advice to Wang, urging her to take Yuan Chun to Rongguo Mansion to honor Jia Shishi, in an attempt to repair the relationship between Jia Shishi and Jia Daishan.

Naturally, Mrs. Wang didn't want to. Although she couldn't do things in the name of Rongguo Mansion, her daily communication was affected, but she was a smart and sharp person, and she quickly brought back most of the people she had made good friends with. In the first-class general's residence, she is not someone else's daughter-in-law, so she must be careful in her words and deeds, otherwise Jia Shishi will look sideways if she is not careful.As a wife who is used to the back house saying one thing, who is willing to go back to the Rongguo Mansion and live under Jia Shishi?

Furthermore, her youngest son, Baoyu, was born with the title of jade, and he was sure to be a very promising person in the future, but in the end he was named "Ying" by the Duke of the country. The Duke and his wife were so picky about Baoyu, which made her, a mother, especially dissatisfied.

But no matter how unwilling she is to marry and follow her husband, the Wang family can only come to the door to fulfill her filial piety.

Unexpectedly, Jia Shishi, who had been partial to Jia Zheng to the point of creaking, did not know what happened during this period of time. Wang Shi sent invitations to Rongguo Mansion ten times, and almost nine times Jia Shishi would be used by Jia Shishi for various reasons. Rejection, the only time we met, with Mrs. Zhang by my side, Mrs. Wang couldn't speak at all.

If the Wang family can't see the Jia Shi family, then Jia Zheng can't see Jia Daishan even more.

For a while, Jia's government was gloomy.

On the other hand, even though Jia She is only the heir to the Duke's Mansion, every day when he goes out, he follows a large group of honorable dudes who want to please him. Life is far more comfortable than that of Jia Zheng, the head of the family.

Under such circumstances, even though Jia Zhu was only fourteen years old and had obtained the honor of a scholar, the fact that Jia Hu's eldest son, Jia Hu, was far behind by many ranks, on the contrary, poked Jia Zheng's lungs, and made him even more angry.

However, the two brothers Jia Hu and Jia Zhu, who were far away in Huaiyang, did not know about this.

At this time, the two brought their servants to salute, and were saying goodbye to the Lin family at the pier.

Because Jia Shu was pregnant and had a big belly, he didn't dare to ride in the carriage with his big belly to suffer the bumps, so he never came to see him off, but Lin Ruhai asked for leave on purpose and brought Lin Xian here.

It was the middle of winter, and the wind was so cold along the river that it hurt people's bones like icicles.

The big ship of Rongguo Mansion was docked at the pier, and the servants were carrying the luggage of Jia Hu and the two brothers back and forth, while Lin Ruhai and his son stood aside with Jia Hu and Jia Zhu to say goodbye.

Jia Zhu was a bit reluctant: "Cousin Xian, why don't you go back to Beijing with us? The old lady spared face and deliberately cleared up the relationship, and sent me and Brother Zhu to the academy where the great Confucianist Liu Zhengqing was. And Cousin Xian His talents and learning will definitely be accepted by Liu Zhengqing, a great Confucianist, and then you and my cousins ​​will study together, wouldn't it be a good thing?"

When Jia Zhu was at home, he was always an obedient and obedient baby. Most of the time, he did what his parents asked him to do, and he never disobeyed.

Because the elders of the family had high hopes for him, hoping that he and Big Brother Hu would be able to pass the Jinshi exam like Jia Jing, and lead the Jia family to abandon martial arts and transfer literature together, and go to the road of the family. Jia Zheng and his wife even regarded him as the pillar of the next generation. , the only heir, surpassed the hopes of Jia She's family, and had stricter requirements on him, and even had to learn more than Jia Hu, the heir of the Rongguo Mansion, and worked harder on weekdays, except for occasionally playing "red sleeves add fragrance" with the concubine Ji in the room. "Fun, almost no play time, basically studying hard.So much so that Jia Zhu, as the grandson of Duke Rong of the top rank, should be flattered and flattered by many people, has grown up to this age, and has never had much social contact with many people.

This also led to the fact that Jia Zhu went to Jinling to take the college examination for only a few months, which was a rare time for him to relax.And Lin Xian, a cousin who is outstanding in everything, easily won Jia Zhu's admiration.

Now that he is leaving Huaiyang and returning to the capital, there will be fewer opportunities to meet in the future, and thinking of his previous life, Jia Zhu is inevitably a little sad.

As the future heir of the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Hu usually socializes much more than Jia Zhu, but can the other sons and gentlemen of the honored family be compared with Lin Xian, let alone whether Lin Xian is his direct cousin?Just like Jia Zhu, Jia Hu looked at Lin Xian with a bit of anticipation in his eyes.

Seeing this, Lin Xian thought it was funny. Apart from asking him for advice a few days ago, the two of them wanted to avoid him, lest they would provoke him at some point and draw his revenge. , the two of them forgot all their previous fears.

He smiled and said, "How can I be willing to be separated from my two cousins? It's just that next year I have to take the autumn exam. If I go back to Beijing this year, I will come back next year, and I will return after the next year. It will be troublesome and a waste of time. "

This time he returned to Gusu to participate in the scientific examination, although it was only a temporary idea because of Lin Ruhai's position as the salt inspection censor, but since he came, he naturally wanted to win the honorary title together, so as not to have to go back and forth in the future.

One must know that it would take several months to get from the capital to Gusu, even if he took the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. With this time, he might as well spend it on studying.

Jia Hu suddenly said, "I actually forgot about this."

Jia Zhu's face was embarrassed, "It's my younger brother who overestimated his own strength and thought of Cousin Xian with a mediocre person like us. I hope Cousin Xian will forgive me."

Jia Hu was stunned, and quickly reached out and pulled Jia Zhu's clothes.

Lin Xian looked at Jia Zhu in surprise, because he didn't get along much, he didn't know Jia Zhu's temperament was so straightforward.That is to say, he didn't care. Otherwise, if another person heard it, he would think that Jia Zhu was dissatisfied with him: "Cousin Zhu was joking, you guys are about the same age as me, so where is the difference in talent and learning? It's just that I'm older than two The first cousin was enlightened a few years earlier, so he has a few more years of study time than the two cousins. If the two cousins ​​go home to study hard, they will probably be able to return to Jinling in two years."

Only then did Jia Zhu realize that what he said just now was ambiguous, and shook his head repeatedly, but Lin Xian had already excused him, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Fortunately, Lin Xian didn't care either.

Seeing that the three cousins ​​had finished speaking, Lin Ruhai said, "It's a long way to go back this time, so you must be careful. Don't blindly read books on the boat, and pay attention to the customs and customs along the way. The scientific research is not just for you to write. Articles, Autumn Examination and Chunwei Palace Examination all have policy theory examination questions. If the articles you write are only rhetorical and have nothing to say, they are not beautiful. You were all in the capital in the past, and you didn’t have much chance to travel far. This time is a good opportunity, but don’t worry Don't miss it."

Jia Hu and Jia Zhu's eyes were eager, and they responded repeatedly.

Before boarding the boat, Lin Xian suddenly stopped Jia Zhu.

Jia Zhu was a little puzzled: "Cousin Xian, do you have something to tell cousin?"

Lin Xian nodded, with rare hesitation on his face: "You..."

"Cousin, just say something."

Lin Xian glanced at Jia Zhu, and said hesitantly, "Although I shouldn't say this, but your body... just passed out after the hospital test was over?"

Jia Zhu nodded and shook her head.

How much of his ancestors did he retain as the pride of the general who accompanied the founding emperor to fight the country? Lin Xian mentioned that he was so poor that he fainted immediately after coming out of the hospital test, so he could only stand there with an embarrassed expression, quite at a loss .

The conversation has already begun, and Lin Xian has no more scruples: "I asked the doctor about your pulse, and he said that cousin Zhu doesn't like sports, studies hard all day, but is keen on sex..." He paused "I'm not telling you not to have intercourse, it's just that cousin Zhu is still young and his body has not yet matured, so this matter should not be too frequent. Besides, among the six rituals of a gentleman, there are two ways of archery and imperial control, which are not It’s appropriate for you to keep studying hard. After all, Cousin Zhu is also going for Jinshi, and when the time comes, there will be nine consecutive exams, one every three days, and you need to be healthy to survive.”

"I think Cousin Hu is in good health. From now on, you might as well play sports with him after studying. You can also practice boxing and kicking with Second Uncle on weekdays."

Although Jia Zhu was a little embarrassed, she also knew that Lin Xian was sincerely looking out for his own good, so she quickly agreed: "Brother, don't worry, when I return to Beijing, I will definitely follow my cousin's orders and never neglect my own body."

Lin Xian nodded with a smile.

When the boat from the Rongguo Mansion left the pier and there was no more shadow, Lin Ruhai said, "Father, why didn't you know that you and Brother Zhu have such a good relationship?"

It is said that it is taboo to talk lightly and profoundly. Since Lin Xian only wants to be considerate of everything to outsiders, and does not do anything else, what he did today is really unexpected.

Not to mention that Jia Zhu is a relative of the Lin family, because of Jia Shu's attitude, the Lin family's attitude towards the Jia family was harmonious on the surface, but in fact they were distant and indifferent.Although Lin Xian felt that the Jia family's power could be used, so he always greeted people with a smile and showed a friendly attitude on weekdays, but Lin Ruhai knew him very well and knew that he didn't really care about the Jia family at all.

Lin Xian sighed exaggeratedly: "Who told the mother to tell the son to remember to admonish Cousin Zhu before leaving the house?"

Lin Ruhai was stunned: "Your mother?"

Lin Xian nodded: "Yes, I always feel that if my son doesn't persuade cousin Zhu, he will be scolded to death by his mother when he returns home."

He still finds it strange that his mother has never liked the Jia family, so why did he suddenly care about Jia Zhu?I didn't see how much my mother cared about Jia Hu.

However, Jia Zhuna's health is indeed too poor. If it hadn't been for the past few months to raise some foundations and come back, I don't know what will happen in the future.I don't know how the Rongguo Mansion raises people. They are obviously nobles in their prime, but the children they raise are not as healthy as those of poor families.
