Jia She's eldest son of the Red Chamber

During this period of time, Jia Hu has lived a three-point and one-line life very regularly. He went to visit his wife early in the morning, then went to Lixiangyuan to pay his respects to his grandfather, and finally went to Rongxi Hall to pay his respects to the old lady. Look at Brother Lian.

To know how quickly this time flies, just look at the children.

However, in just one month, Jia Lian, who was originally thin, has gained a lot of weight. It can be said that he looks different every day. Compared with the always thin brother Zhu, Lian is as cute as a blessing baby. They all like to hug Jia Lian more, saying that brother Lian was born strong, just like him!

Although Jia Hu and Jia's mother would stare at Jia Daishan's square face and little Jia Lian's fleshy face at the same time when his grandfather claimed that Lian's brother was like him, and shook their heads secretly, but at this time, the shrewd little Jia Lian would He clapped his hands and laughed loudly, which made Jia Daishan love Jia Lian even more.

Although Jia Lian was still a baby, it was supposed to be like Jia Zhu, who was raised under Jia Mu's lap, couldn't even see clearly at this time, but Jia Hu just felt that Jia Lian seemed to recognize someone, and every time he saw Jia Hu, he was always very happy, Stretching out his fat short hands, he asked for a hug and a hug.

As a human being in the second generation, it was also the first time for Jia Hu to have a so-called real brother. He just felt that no matter how much he loved Xiao Lian, he couldn't hurt enough. But when he thought of Jia Lian being tortured to death by Wang Xifeng in the Dream of the Red Chamber, Jia Hu couldn't help thinking about it. Xiao Lian'er's future is a bit worrying. According to the analysis of later red scholars, there are three reasons why Jia Lian was ruled to death by Wang Xifeng.

The first lack of money!

With no money in hand, Jia Lian can be said to be supported by his wife, and even his own mistress, Pinger, was given by his wife. Of course, his back is not straight.

The third king's family is powerful!

Even now Wang Ziteng has to rely on his grandfather to barely gain a firm foothold in the Northeast, but when Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng got married, the situation of Jia Wang and Wang's family might have changed. The identity of the invisible son of the state government is not worth marrying the daughter of a prince who has no official position and no job.

Second, he really cares about Wang Xifeng!

If she didn't really like it, Jia Lian wouldn't have endured it any longer. If Wang Xifeng hadn't done some things and forcibly worn away the relationship between them, maybe she wouldn't have secretly married Second Sister You later. Things.

Regardless of whether Lian's brother will marry Wang Xifeng in the future, or whether the Jia family will become a second-class family in the future and have to rely on the Wang family for a living, Jia Hu is really puzzled by Jia Lian's lack of money.

According to the rules in the Rongguo Mansion, every young master and girl's monthly silver is two taels of silver before marriage, and it rises to five taels of silver after marriage. Of course, this little monthly silver cannot be saved at all, and Speaking of daily expenses, more than half of it would be spent just on rewarding servants. Except for the children of concubines who have no background, the children of concubines like them basically do not live on moon money at all.

Take himself as an example, he has never managed his own small coffers, and his daily expenses are not enough, so naturally his wife subsidizes him, his money box has never been empty, but...

Thinking about his wife's situation, and thinking about his master's lack of a muscle, Jia Hu suddenly felt a sense of crisis. I'm afraid no one will subsidize him in the future, and he may have to live within his means. Fortunately, I don't have anything to spend money on, so I think it should be okay... maybe.

Jia Hu made some calculations about his small treasury, clutched his chest, and silently decided to suspend his experiment with 20 to 50 incense candles, because the small treasury couldn't last, so let's take it slowly one by one.

Jia Hu's eyes narrowed slightly, but... even if his wife is gone, brother Lian should get his wife's dowry after he gets married. Although his wife comes from a civil servant's family, the dowry is not as rich as the second wife's, but At least there are several thousand taels of silver. He remembered that there were many shops and dowry farms that made money. Even if it was not much, it was still an income. How could Brother Lian be so poor that he had to rely on his wife to support him?

This is kind of weird...

Jia Hu thought for a long time, and finally asked, "Who is in charge of the wife's dowry now?"

Nanny Zhang was taken aback, "That's fine, why did brother Hu ask about this?"

"What?" Jia Hu raised her eyebrows slightly, staring at the !Σд's face on the nurse's head for a long time, feeling a little displeased, "Can I ask about my mother's dowry?"

This kind of emoji... there must be a ghost

Nanny Zhang smiled awkwardly, but still refused to talk, she just smiled and said, "Brother Hu should also rest, and I have to get up early tomorrow to say hello to my wife."

Jia Hu asked again, "Who manages the wife's dowry?"

Nanny Zhang was silent, and the emoji on her head was already sweating. ΣヽД

Jia Hu just stared at Nanny Zhang without saying a word. As an archaeologist, he is definitely a sure winner when it comes to patience.

Nanny Zhang was flustered by Jia Hu's stare, and finally said honestly, "The old lady took all the dowry."

Since something happened to the wife's natal family, the wife was imprisoned in the Qingxinyuan, the wife's dowry was collected by the old lady, and even the heads of the wife's village were all replaced by the old lady's people.

She could somewhat guess the reason why brother Hu asked about his wife's dowry. In order to treat his wife's illness, the quota in this mansion is really insufficient. But this week the Rui family's face is really ugly, and I can't blame Brother Hu for being annoyed.

But Brother Hu is a junior after all, so it is good to compete with the old lady for these things. Anyway, no matter how hard this mansion is, there will be no shortage of food and clothing for Brother Hu. No matter how ugly Zhou Rui's face is, I can only talk about it. You don't have to rely on Brother Hu, and you don't have to fight for these things.

Besides, brother Hu is also eight years old, and the old lady can't control it for a few years, and in the end, she still has to return it to brother Hu.

If Jia Hu knew what Nanny Zhang was thinking, he would laugh wildly, this is definitely one of the funniest jokes in the world.

If the old lady would pay back the dowry, how could Jia Lian be so miserable that Wang Xifeng would take care of her?According to his guess, the old lady may have forgotten about it, or something happened in the middle, so that the dowry was gone.

Jia Hu pondered slightly, "Does the nanny have the wife's dowry list?"

It's better to hold things back in your hands.

Nanny Zhang hurriedly persuaded, "Brother Hu, you are just a child, even if you have to return your wife's dowry, what can you do? Can you see that Zhuangtou is playing tricks on the income or can you manage things? The old lady After all, it's your own grandmother, she won't..."

Nanny Zhang was hard to say, Jia Hu helped her finish the sentence directly, and he said angrily, "You want to say that the old lady is my real grandmother after all, and she won't steal my mother's dowry, right?"

"But..." Jia Hu's eyes were sharp, "I think the old lady has embezzled some of it?"

If it weren't for this, Nanny Zhang's facial expressions wouldn't be so alarming.

Nanny Zhang's face turned pale with fright, and she quickly looked around, seeing no one around, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Hu!" Nanny Zhang said sternly, "No matter what the old lady does, the old lady is always an old lady, your real grandmother, you must not disrespect her!"

Nanny Zhang is really anxious, although Brother Hu is still that Brother Hu, how did his temper become so unruly?If people hear this, brother Hu's reputation will be lost.

Jia Hu said helplessly, "Just tell me, what did the old lady embezzle?"

The facial expressions on Nanny Zhang's head suddenly became

Jia Hu "...hehe."

Pushed by Jia Hu, Nanny Zhang had no choice but to say, "Someone saw... the second master went to the old lady's library to pick up some calligraphy and painting, and said that he wanted to leave the house."

Jia Hu narrowed his eyes slightly, "Could it be that the second master picked up Yan Liben's picture of boating in the Spring Garden?"

Among his mother's dowry, the painting of rafting in Spring Garden by Yan Liben of the Tang Dynasty is the most precious. Even a maid like Zhang NaiNian knows how precious this painting is.

Even Nanny Zhang knew about it, so it's impossible for the second master to not know about it, but if the second master still chose this painting as a gift...it would be too contemptuous of their eldest family.

Nanny Zhang nodded silently. The lonely copies and paintings next to her were gone. It happened that the second master took this painting. It was because of the preciousness of this painting that the second master took the painting away on his front foot, and the story of his back foot was faintly spread. up.

Although she felt distressed, Nanny Zhang still persuaded, "Brother Hu, filial piety is the most important thing nowadays, even the late emperor's successor, the Empress Dowager Zhaohui, is well honored and raised in the Shou'an Palace, even if the old lady and the second master are wrong. Now, as a junior, you can't just denounce it, if you speak up, even if you are right, it will become unreasonable."

Although the wife's dowry should have been given to Brother Hu, and the second master took the wife's dowry in private as a gift, but the contention between grandparents and grandchildren, after the news spread, how will Brother Hu see people?

Nanny Zhang persuaded, "Anyway, it's just that I have lost the income of the past few years and some extra possessions. After brother Hu gets married, why can't the old lady give it to you?"

As for the lost paintings and calligraphy, of course they can't come back, but the old lady won't let Brother Hu suffer, she will always make up for one or two.

Jia Hu pondered for a while, what Nanny Zhang said made sense, but Jia Hu, who had read the original work of the Red Chamber, knew in her heart that the old lady really didn't return it in the end!

But what the nanny said is also reasonable. Even if he wants to get his mother's dowry back, he should not be the one to take the matter. It's a pity that several uncles were exiled to Shandong, and the master is not reliable. None of the elders came forward to help him.

Jia Hu pondered slightly, "Ask Grandpa Jiao Er, if grandfather is free? I'll go talk to grandfather."

He is not good at asking for it himself, but what if it is given by his grandfather?

and also……

Jia Hu smiled coldly, do you really think his food is so easy to swallow?

He has a nickname in the modern archaeological world, called Tomb Raider Terminator!
