Jia She of the Red Chamber

Listening to Jia She's proposals, Mrs. Zhang felt that this was okay. Compared with her husband and children, the family property was insignificant.

"Can the master and wife agree?"

The couple's discussions were in full swing, and only now did they remember that they hadn't discussed with the elders in the mansion, Mrs. Zhang asked hesitantly.

"Leave this matter to me, don't worry."

Jia Amnesty also knew that as Zhang's daughter-in-law, she couldn't open her mouth about many things, so she did it herself.

"If, if the wife doesn't want to, that's fine. It's good for me to stay in Beijing. The two children don't have to follow you when the time comes. Let them stay in Beijing to continue their studies. That's fine."

Mrs. Zhang said to her husband insincerely.Jia Amnesty naturally understood what she meant, and nodded indifferently. He decided on his own affairs, not anyone else.

"Don't worry, I'm sure about this matter."

Even Jia Amnesty, who is in full bloom, can't stay in the back house for a long time, and gossiping is not good for Mrs. Zhang.

Jia Amnesty went to find his father first, and he wanted to take the two children south, so he had to get his father's permission.

Dai Shan pondered for a moment and nodded his agreement. The status of the eldest son of the emperor has not stopped for a day, and this Beijing will not stop for a day. It is not bad for his son to leave the capital and avoid it for a few years.

As for the grandson, with Zhu'er by his side, it wouldn't have much influence, so why didn't he agree?

As long as the old man agrees in this mansion, other people's opinions are not important to him.

"The general affairs in the mansion have to take care of my mother a lot."

If she leaves by herself, the internal affairs will definitely be handed over to Shi Shi. As for whether she will do it herself or let Wang Shi take care of it, Jia She doesn't want to get involved.

"Well, don't worry about this, let your wife worry about it."

Dai Shan nodded and said to Jia She.

The father and son had a lively chat about Jia She's staff and long-term followers, and of course analyzed the situation in the court and the situation in the south of the Yangtze River one by one, so that Jia She had a good idea of ​​it.

"The Zhen family, even though we are old relatives and we have a good relationship, but it's about the court, so let's uphold justice, personal friendships are personal friendships, you understand?"

Daishan said to his son.

"Father, in fact, His Majesty let me go there to pave the way, not to contain the Zhen family, but the saint certainly does not want us to be intimate with the Zhen family, so now our family is in the most embarrassing situation."

Jia Amnesty sighed, he knows how prominent the Zhen family will be in the future, but unfortunately, the Zhen family's ending is not good, thinking about it, the Jia family should be less involved.

Of course, you can't offend the Zhen family too thoroughly. After all, the time for the Zhen family to flourish has not yet come. If you offend the Zhen family, you may have to suffer at some point, so he doesn't want to offend the Zhen family unless it is absolutely necessary. of.

"Slowly distance yourself, but don't forget that there is still a concubine Zhen in the harem."

Dai Shan said to his son, although he doesn't know what will happen to the Zhen family in the future, but the Zhen family must be famous in 20 years, and the relationship with relatives is the most troublesome, and it is always bad if you offend someone.

"Uh, that's all there is to it."

Jia Amnesty was also speechless when he thought about the Zhen family who would become a noble concubine in the future.

After the father and son discussed it, Jia Amnesty knew it well. Although Daishan was still a little worried about the eldest son, he also knew that the chick would only know the depth after being released to experience it. She can only let him go south.

"You go to the Zhang family, take your wife with you, and see if your Yue family has anything to say. The Zhang family is also a big family in the south of the Yangtze River. No matter what, it will always be helpful."

Dai Shan said to his son, what he said was very straightforward, as the son-in-law of the Zhang family, why didn't Jia She take advantage of the situation?

Jia Amnesty himself knew this truth, but he didn't think about this when he brought his wife south. He simply wanted to let his wife relax for a few years, but he had to tell his father about this, and he knew it in his heart.

Jia Amnesty nodded, indicating that he understood.

Daishan looked at the back of his son who had been promoted in stature, feeling relieved and worried. In short, it was extremely complicated, as a father, that's how it is.

The analysis of the old man of the Zhang family is similar to that of Dai Shan, try not to offend the Zhen family, and don't get too close, just keep alienating slowly. Nodding in agreement, it is better for children to stay with their parents. If there is a gap between the two children and their parents, and they become unfamiliar in the future, wouldn't it be my fault?

As for the husband, Jiangnan's literary style is at its peak. Although Mr. Feng is old and doesn't move around much, he knows quite a few Confucian scholars, and it is not a problem to teach the two children.

With the support of his father-in-law, Jia Amnesty often breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that his father-in-law would disagree.

Mrs. Zhang bid farewell to her mother in the inner house. Mrs. Zhang hoped that her daughter would have another child as soon as possible while she was young, preferably a son, so that she could be more calm.

Mrs. Zhang also knew that her mother was kind, so she didn't refute, and nodded in agreement.

As for whether to give birth or when to give birth, this is not human-controllable. In addition, the relationship between herself and her husband is unknown to others, and she doesn't want to say it, for fear that others will think that she is showing off and living her own life. Shi is very frank.

With a touchstone like glass, her trust in Jia She has been further improved. Although her husband is not Liu Xiahui, he is not too hungry to pull all kinds of smelly things on the bed, so Zhang does not care. I was worried that my husband would turn bad when he came to the border of Jiangnan, where flowers are red and willows are green.

But she understood the kindness in her mother's cryptic words.

The relationship between Zhang's sister-in-law and sister-in-law is not so close, it is enough to maintain a face-to-face relationship with each other. She had a good relationship with her second brother when she was young, and later she became close to her second sister-in-law as a matter of course. Let go, we don't get along much with each other, how much affection can we have?

But the fate between people is like this, and she doesn't force it. It's not bad for the two parties to be in such a close relationship. If you are close, you will complain, and if you are far, you will complain.

Every time I go back to my mother's house, I always feel that time seems to be flying. After a while, I hear someone report that my uncle is waiting for my aunt at the second gate.

Mrs. Zhang also had to tearfully bid farewell to her mother and sister-in-law, and left with her two children.

Jia Na and Jia Hu were very satisfied with being able to go south to the south of the Yangtze River. They really didn't expect their parents to take them with them. They were already prepared to be abandoned by their parents, so when they heard the good news that they could go south , although the two children tried their best to be reserved, but the corners of their mouths turned up unconsciously, revealing their good mood.

This time, Jia She and his wife felt that what they did was right. The child is their child. As parents, if they don't love their children, who will love them?

For the farewell banquet before leaving, Lin Ruhai took Jia Min and his son to Jia's house. Although the Lin family was in decline, they were authentic Jiangnan people and knew a lot about the officialdom in Jiangnan, so they carefully helped uncle After analyzing the forces of all parties, although Jia Amnesty followed his staff to analyze a lot, but with Lin Ruhai's narration, many aspects were suddenly enlightened.

Lin Ruhai really helped him a lot, and Jia Amnesty thanked him very earnestly.

Lin Ruhai waved his hands hastily, he didn't do anything remarkable, so he shouldn't be like an uncle.

Although the position of the general judge may not seem high, he is still an important figure in the local area, especially Jia She's background is prominent, and he has a title on his back, so it is even more dreadful. As long as he does not provoke others, he will kill him , others will not take the initiative to be his enemy, that would not be of any benefit.

Therefore, Lin Ruhai envied Jia Amnesty's extroversion most. It's a pity that he couldn't be like his brother-in-law. With a giant like the Rongguo Mansion behind him, of course he himself should not be underestimated.

Thinking about how hard he is now in the Ministry of Industry, he wants to let him out even more.

What a pity, what a pity...

After half a month of busy work, the eldest family of Jia's family of four, plus staff and masters, entourages, bodyguards, wives and girls, totaled more than a hundred people and set off from the capital.

They were on a boat, Jia She lived in the front with his son, and Zhang took his daughter in the back. Except for eating and resting, the whole family could be together, and the rest of the time they could only find something to kill time.

Jia Shen's life is very regular, chatting with his staff about the situation in the south of the Yangtze River, analyzing the various forces in Yangzhou, and then taking his son to study and solving his doubts, the rest of the time is spent playing with antiques, chatting about calligraphy and painting, Playing the piano and getting ink.

When it's time for supplies, he will take his wife off the boat without hesitation, look at the scenery, taste the local characteristics, find a mistress, a storyteller, and learn about the local folk customs. Such a move is not only joyful Even Mrs. Zhang is looking forward to the two children.

Although Jia Amnesty himself had been exiled in the Northwest and had eaten sand in the Northwest, he really didn't know much about these customs, and now he really has a lot of knowledge.

The family stopped and went along the way, and finally arrived at Yangzhou Wharf three months later.

Early on, Lin Zhixiao was waiting at the pier with someone. After the release was made, Lin Zhixiao was sent south by Jia Amnesty to take care of the house, buy people, and inquire about the situation in Yangzhou City.

Now it seems that Lin Zhixiao has done a good job.

As for Lai Da, he ran errands with Jia She, after all, he had a father who was the manager, so Jia She had to save face and not go too far.

After arriving at his own house, I don't know how Mrs. Zhang thinks about it. In short, Jia Amnesty is quite satisfied. The hot water and hot food are all ready, so it's good. As for the others, let's get used to it slowly.

After washing up and eating, Jia Amnesty went to rest. Mrs. Zhang took people to settle the luggage and was extremely busy.

I don't know if Mrs. Jingzhong has calmed down. In short, her husband's behavior is a bit unreasonable, but it cannot be denied that Mrs. Zhang is actually very happy.

After all, she is not a saint, and she can't maintain a good impression of someone who looks down on her and hurts her, so on the surface she feels that her husband's behavior is unethical, but in her heart she is really happy.

Thinking of that day, Zhang's exhaustion from his first arrival in Jiangnan seemed to have completely dissipated, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Jia Amnesty was also a bastard. After being reborn, he worked hard to suppress his temper, making him less hateful. In other aspects and on other people, he showed his best kindness and tried his best to get closer to these people. Relationship, so that I am no longer alone and have no help.

But this situation is only an exception for his biological mother, Shi Shi. Since his grandmother passed away, he has made it very clear that he does not want to improve the relationship between mother and child at all. The slight weakness before is also due to his own lack of strength. He couldn't compete against Shi Shi, so he made such a move, showing his potential, and asked Daishan to protect him.

But now, he really feels that his wings are hardened. Shi Shi and his good second brother are basically useless, and he no longer pretends. He has exposed his true colors, and he doesn't want to hide it at all. .

In the past, when there were no major incidents, this kind of change was not noticeable, but this time when it was released, Shi was so angry that his seven orifices bleed.

Gein Jiashe consulted with Dai Shan in various ways, took his wife to visit Zhang's house in various ways, packed luggage and bought various things in various ways, and sent people to the south to go to the front station to prepare for the house, but he did not communicate with Shi Shi. Well, even Mrs. Zhang stopped him.

So after everything was settled, Jia Amnesty told Shi Shi at the family banquet that he was going south with his wife and children, and everything in the mansion would be troublesome to his wife.

Waiting left and right, Shi Shi, who had waited for so many days, was furious when he heard the words, this dead child didn't care about his own mother at all, how could such an unfilial person be an official?

It's a pity that she can't say such words yet, and said with a stiff smile,

"It's no problem for you to go south, but your wife and children can't follow you, right? The south is humid, and the children can't get used to it? Besides, where is the capital in the south of the Yangtze River? The conditions are good, children If they are taken away, what should they do with their studies? Your daughter-in-law is gone, who will take care of her in the house? I am getting old, and my body is a bit unbearable, so where do I have the energy to do these things?"

The other Wangs don't care, but hearing her mother-in-law mention the housekeeper, she really wants to recommend herself, but her in-laws, uncle, and husband are all there, and she is a woman who really doesn't like to intervene, so she can only do it herself in a hurry, lest the uncle listen According to the words of the mother-in-law, if she changed her mind, if the sister-in-law didn't follow and stayed in the mansion, I'm afraid I would never have the chance to get involved in the general affairs of the mansion in my life.

Wang was in a hurry, but everyone's eyes were on Jia She.

"I thought my wife knew about it, but my wife didn't even know about such a big movement..."

After a gloomy look flashed across his face, Jia She raised his head again, calm as usual.

"What's the matter? I have already entrusted Master Feng with the children's studies. He knows a lot of people in Jiangnan. The style of literature in Jiangnan is flourishing, and there are many academies. With Hu'er's knowledge, it is not difficult to go to the academies to study. As for Mrs. Zhang, I took her with me for the purpose of socializing in the officialdom. There is no one around me. Who else is competent except Mrs. Zhang? Is it the general affairs of the mansion? Since my wife is old and lacks energy, then It's not difficult, let the housekeeper and the stewards figure it out, where are the rules, and can they be messed up? Madam, do you have any questions?"

After Jia Amnesty finished speaking, he seemed unaware of the strange and astonished gazes of the crowd. He calmly drank a glass of wine and looked back openly. Smile and nod to him.

In the end, Daishan came forward to smooth things over,

"These are trivial matters. The boss will go south immediately. The future is important. If you say these things, let the second daughter-in-law help you with the affairs of the mansion."

Except for Wang's joy and encouragement, the mood of the others did not improve. Of course, Jia Amnesty has always been in a good mood.

After the family banquet was over and Lin Ruhai's family of three were sent away, Daishan took his eldest son back to Lixiangyuan.

Mrs. Zhang took her two children back to her yard. Although she didn't know what the master and her husband had said, Mrs. Zhang could tell that her husband was in a good mood.

Mrs. Zhang is actually in a good mood. I'm afraid only Jia Amnesty can do this kind of face-slapping and humiliating thing, right?Although it wasn't just to stand out for himself, it didn't hinder the fact that Mrs. Zhang was in a good mood.

Mrs. Zhang's memories came to an abrupt end following the voices of the two little enemies, the debt collector, and she really couldn't figure out where these two children got so much energy, they were completely tireless.

But for them, she herself is willing to do so.

Jia Na and Jia Hu were really overjoyed, Jiangnan, now they are in the most prosperous Yangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, how can they be unhappy?

What the father did along the way also made the two children grow wild, and they wanted to go out and have a look.

Naturally, father should be the first to talk about this kind of matter, but he is busy at the moment, and the two of them can only quarrel with mother.Mrs. Zhang also had a headache when she heard the words. Although she couldn't bear to reject them, it was really outrageous. The son was fine, but what about the daughter?

She has reached the age of keeping her hair, how can she play around and go out to show her face?

So Mrs. Zhang herself is depressed. It's all her husband's fault. She pampered her daughter like a child. Now she is fine. In three or four years, she will be able to talk to others, but what about her temper?

There is no tactfulness or the gentleness of a daughter's family. Climbing up and down all day long is more worrying than Tao Xiaozi, and it is not worrying at all.

"No, at least not for a while. Your father is busy with the affairs of the yamen, so where is the time to accompany you out for leisure? Let's talk about it after a while."

The two of them actually understand the family structure very well. Even if the mother disagrees with this matter, the father will definitely persuade her, so they are clearly prepared to be rejected by the mother, but who knows, she still keeps so little. son's hope.

Jia Na and Jia Hu were immediately satisfied, this is good, and it will be easier to convince their father when the time comes, after all, mother also wants to go out and have a look, doesn't she?

After achieving their goal, the two debt collectors stopped harassing Mrs. Zhang and withdrew. The son was already five years old. Mrs. Zhang hadn't made up her mind whether to send her son to the academy or hire his master's house to sit in the library. The pros and cons of her, so she has to be cautious, and of course her daughter, she really can't let it go, otherwise how she will marry in the future, and bring her daughter by her side, so that she can personally teach and break her temper.

Although I felt a little more relaxed after leaving the capital, but now that I think about it, there are actually many things, Mrs. Zhang sighed.

Forget it, just take it one step at a time, don't force it too much, take your time.

After listening to Lin Zhixiao's report, Jia Amnesty found that the situation was not much different from what he and his staff expected. From now on, he will completely bid farewell to the past and start a new life.

Although he didn't know how dangerous the Jiangnan where officials were buried, but since he was here, he had no chance of backing down. He could only move forward bravely, fight a bloody path, and then let himself retreat from Jiangnan.

Jia Amnesty doesn't have much ambition here, he just wants to protect himself.

He doesn't have much confidence in making progress, but Jia She doesn't think it's a big problem to protect himself.

With this confidence, Jia Amnesty then devoted himself to the unprecedented busyness. As expected, being an official was different from being a dandy, and he didn't have much scheming at all. Now he couldn't bear to fight these old fritters.

Fortunately, neither Daishan nor Zhang Gelao sent him a staff member who is not a vegetarian. Although it is not enough for one person to do the same, he can handle all kinds of affairs in the yamen, and these disputes among his colleagues are not too much. difficulty.

Of course, Jia Amnesty's background cannot be concealed from anyone. Since everyone knows about this prominent man, even the prefect of Yangzhou would not dare to confront him completely, let alone anyone else.

As for the fights in the yamen, it's not a big deal, it's the norm in the officialdom, so even if Jia Amnesty is dissatisfied, he has to endure it.

Of course, the starting point is important, Jia She will not endure too much motivational battles now, and he can quickly make up for his shortcomings.

He is also aware of this problem, and he is still too immature. Even if he knows the general trend of the future, it does not mean that he is safe, nor does it mean that he will be able to enjoy the glory of the future.

So now that there is such a good opportunity, Jia Amnesty naturally can't let it go, he got busy, and the promise to take the two children out to play was directly forgotten.

When I came back to my senses, it was the Dragon Boat Festival. This Duanyang Festival can be regarded as a grand event in the south of the Yangtze River. There are dragon boat races, and there are all kinds of rice dumplings.

Jia Amnesty also agreed to the two children, and the family went out to watch the dragon boat race. Now, the resentment between the two of them towards their father was relieved.

Jia Hu didn't go to the academy to study, he was too young, Zhang was worried, Jia She simply hired Master Feng's disciples, his younger brother once invited people to teach in the mansion, and his daughter also followed him, so he didn't worry about it now There is a problem with my daughter's schoolwork.

Zeng Juren entered Jia's mansion with infinite curiosity about his senior brother...
