Jia Zhu, the White Magic God of the Red Chamber

"It's been hard for you these days, court judge." Jia Zhu's fingers were pale and slender with distinct knuckles. These fingers were closing together, firmly holding Li Wan's plain hand, and his words were full of affection.

Li Wan's soft face was blush, she lowered her eyes slightly and said shyly: "What are you talking about, sir, isn't it a natural thing for a wife to serve her husband?"

She comes from the Li family, a famous eunuch and scholarly family in Jinling. The whole family, regardless of gender, are all educated and proficient.However, when she came to her father Li Shouzhong, he believed that "a woman who has no talent is a virtue", so when she was at home, she only read a little "Four Books for Women" and "Biography of Women".Li Shouzhong attached great importance to her spinning female celebrity, and took the word "Gong Cai" when she was young.

Fortunately, Li Wan's mother was born in a scholarly family, and she taught her a lot in private without telling Li Shouzhong, let alone talking about poetry and songs with her husband at night, even reading books is difficult, just like her mother-in-law Jia Wang. , I can only know a few big characters.

Li Wan's husband, Jia Zhu, is the eldest son of the second wife of the Rongguo Mansion and the eldest grandson of the Rongguo Mansion.This Jia Zhu has been good at reading since she was a child, and even entered school when she was 14 years old.Although he was not as good as those young Jinshi who were famous in the imperial examination list in his teens, compared to other nobles in Beijing, he was praised as a model for his ability to study and make progress.

Li Wan's father, Li Shouzhong, sacrificed wine for the Imperial Academy, and among a bunch of shadow prisons in the Imperial Academy who relied on Enyin to study, he fell in love with Jia Zhu, who was still relatively motivated.The wives of the two families were satisfied after seeing each other in private, and they married after three books and six ceremonies.

Jia Zhu is a talented young man, and Li Wan is elegant and virtuous. The newly married couple have been very sweet for a while.It's just that Rong Guohou is an honorable family after all, and the rules are different from the scholarly family. Before the men in the family get married, they will have two housemates by their side.

Once the wedding period is over, Li Wan has to swallow his anger and live the life of sharing her husband with other people.Fortunately, the Jia family also understood the difference between concubines and concubines, and gave all the housemates in the elder brother's house a soup to avoid children. Before the concubine's wife gave birth to the eldest son, they would not give them the chance to give birth to the eldest son.Also, this Jia Zhu is not the kind of lustful person, she puts more of her mind on studying, besides staying in Li Wan's main room, she is in her own study, basically during the few days when Li Wan is inconvenient Just going to Tongfang's place made Li Wan feel a little relieved.

Li Wan has been married into this Rongguo Mansion for nearly two years, although there are two layers of mother-in-law and grand-mother-in-law to serve her—especially Jia Wang, the mother-in-law who comes from the four major families in Jinling and the county governor's mansion. The daughter-in-law is very picky in private-there are two younger uncles and two sister-in-laws to deal with.

Fortunately, Jia Lian, the younger brother-in-law of the big house, is old, and has already made an appointment with Jia Wang's niece, Queen's patriarch, and Queen Xifeng, the concubine's concubine.In order to avoid suspicion, the uncle and sister-in-law basically had no contact with each other.And Jia Baoyu, the younger brother of the husband's direct relative, who is ten years younger, was born with covetous jade. Since the full moon, he has been brought up in front of his mother-in-law Jia Shishi. We can see each other in the morning and evening, and we don't get along much.

And those two sister-in-laws were also raised in front of the great-grandmother Jia Shishi.The elder sister-in-law Yuan Chun is Jia Zhu's direct younger sister, born on the first month of the first lunar month, her fate is precious, and she was brought up by the Duke's wife Chaopin since childhood.Now he is 11 years old, and he is learning the rules from the nanny who came out of the palace. He can be regarded as the busiest person in Rongguo Mansion.Sister-in-law Yingchun is the concubine's daughter of eldest uncle Jia She, and before and after Jia Baoyu was carried to Jia Shi's body, she was also carried, and the two children were companions.

Jia Zhu's younger brother, Jia Baoyu, came into the world with auspiciousness, and he was almost carved out of the same mold as the father-in-law of the same country. However, whether it is Jia Shi's family or the second wife Jia Zheng and his wife, Jia Zhu who can study and make progress is more important.In addition, Li Wan also gained some dignity.In addition to her mother-in-law Jia Wang's dissatisfaction with her taking away her son and the shallow dowry, she also has some face in this Rongguo Mansion.

The rule of Rongguo Mansion, a charity house, is that even the elderly around the master are more respectable than the shameless little master. For example, Jia Cong, the concubine of the big house, is like a transparent man in this mansion, except for the nanny who serves him. Even Jia She almost forgot that he had such a son.

"Even so, it's really unpleasant for the palace judge to work so hard while pregnant." Jia Zhu didn't know what the situation in this mansion was like before, and he, a white magician who has lived for thousands of years, still doesn't know. .

Not to mention that I was still in the groping stage when I first came here. After obtaining the complete memory of the original body, in order to take care of this body that was almost destroyed by toxins, he had to be suppressed to the point where his strength was not even [-]% of what he used to be. In the case of racking their brains.Without Li Wan's carefulness and full cooperation, he would not have recovered so quickly.

Touching his slightly protruding belly, Li Wan smiled gently: "My uncle will really make me feel ashamed if I continue. As long as I know that my uncle is the pillar of support for me and this child."

Jia Zhu held Li Wan's hand even tighter with more force in his hand. The husband and wife looked at each other, without words, but everything was kept in silence.

Married as Jia's wife for nearly two years, she and Jia Zhu respected each other like a guest before, but the real love between the husband and wife is because Jia Zhu is almost ill this time.After Jia Zhu woke up after being unconscious due to illness, the hearts of the husband and wife were obviously much closer.

The burden on Jia Zhu, who is highly valued by everyone as the Jia family, is unclear.

Jia Zhu's father, Jia Zheng, was the second son of the former Duke of Rong, Jia Daishan. From the official position of Uwailang, a member of the Ministry of Wupin Industry.

Over the past ten years, Jia Zheng has been working hard in the position of Yuanwailang, but he has not been promoted at all.Therefore, Jia Zheng put all his thoughts on his eldest son, Jia Zhu, and only hoped that he could gain something in the imperial examination and make himself look good.At the beginning, he failed the imperial examination to become an official, and he only hoped that his son could do it.

The third generation grown up in the Rongguo Mansion now consists of Jia Zhu from the second house and Jia Lian from the eldest house. Jia Lian, like his father Jia She, did not like poetry and books since he was a child.After Jia Daishan's death, the eldest son, Jia She, took over the title and became a first-class general.Jia Lian is Jia She's only legitimate son, and the title will belong to him in the future, so it doesn't matter if he doesn't like studying.

But the second room is different. Although the Rongguo Mansion is now headed by the second room couple, it is only because the old lady, Jia Shishi, does not want to let go of her youngest son, and keeps the youngest son's family by her side to fulfill her filial piety.Besides, Jia She, who has a big house, is a greedy person. He only spends his days in the garden next to the horse shed on the east side of Rongguo Mansion to have fun with his concubine. He is not responsible.

Jia She's original wife was weak, and when she was pregnant with Jia Lian, her eldest son, Jia Hu, was shocked by falling into the water and gave birth prematurely. She struggled to survive for a few days after giving birth to Jia Lian, and also closed her eyes after Jia Hu's death.Jia She later married Xing Shi, the daughter of a petty official. She was weak-natured and only knew how to flatter Jia She, but she was even more particular about money.

Jia Shishi couldn't wait to see his eldest son and daughter-in-law, so he moved the family to the East Garden, out of sight and out of mind.

It looks good now, but once the old matriarch has the age, the second room will definitely be separated from the Rongguo Mansion.Jia Zhu is the eldest son of Erfang. He has no title and can only earn it by himself. Now that the world is peaceful and generals are not popular, he has no other choice but to take the imperial examination to become an official.

Jia Zhu is the successor of Erfang, and also the hope of Erfang. Not only Jia Zheng and his wife value it, but Jia Shishi also looks at this grandson who can read with admiration.This year happened to be the triennial provincial examination. Jia Zhu's ancestral home was in Jinling, and he should have returned to Jinling to take part, but although Rong Guogong was no longer there, the Rong Mansion still had some relationship in the capital, so in the end Jia Zhu took part in this year's exam at the Gongyuan in the capital. Qiu Wei.

After entering school and getting the honor of a scholar, Jia Zhu studied hard for six years before taking part in this provincial examination.Jia Zhu is a frail scholar, but she persisted in the nine-day exam.After coming out of the Gongyuan and returning to the mansion, he fell down, until the day when the rankings were released, he learned that Guibang High School ranked ninth, and he was still lingering and sick.

At first, the imperial doctor diagnosed him as extremely exhausted due to the injury of the exam, but later it turned into a cold, and then he couldn't get out of bed at all.At this time, Li Wan had just received the good news of his diagnosis, and Jia Zhu was on the list in the township examination.

Later, after the imperial physician pronounced that Jia Zhu was just staying up, Jia Wang felt that it was the unborn fetus in Li Wan's womb that had restrained her Pearl, and she wished so much.Jia Shishi was even more distressed by the white-haired man sending the black-haired man, he did not want to see Jia Zhu any more, and was afraid of hearing bad news even if he asked.

The two wives in the back house are like this, so the people below can't help but be somewhat negligent in their actions.

Except for Li Wan who was pregnant and wasted too much weight because of Jia Zhu, no one else was willing to come to Grandpa and Grandma's yard.And the housemates around Jia Zhu also began to privately think about finding another way out.

They were all born in a family, and the whole family worked in the Rongguo Mansion. Jia Shi and Jia Wang couldn't help but show some face, turning a blind eye to let them one by one when Jia Zhu was critically ill. away from the yard.Even if they are not innocent girls anymore, the Jia family is a benevolent family of poems and books after all, so that they are either matched with outside stewards, or married to the head of the Zhuangzi to be upright ladies.

Li Wan hated these people deeply, but what could she say as a grandson and daughter-in-law.At this time, she can only take care of Jia Zhu wholeheartedly. If Jia Zhu is gone, in this huge Rongguo Mansion, even if she has a posthumous child, what can she do?

Her natal father valued a woman's integrity and character the most. Once Jia Zhu was gone, Li Shouzhong would not be able to support her and let her marry another, but would make her keep the chastity.Even in order to prevent the Li family from being implicated by her young widow, they will completely cut off ties with her.

The author has something to say: After uploading, I found out that this chapter has a BUG, ​​which is related to age issues.

At this time, it should be Jia Baoyu's first birthday, Lin Daiyu was born in February, and Jia Tanchun was born in March.Therefore, Yuan Chun should still be at home at this time, after all Baoyu was enlightened by her when he was young.

Therefore, Daiyu and Tanchun should still be born in their mother's womb, and Jia Huan has not yet been born yet, and will not be reincarnated into Aunt Zhao's womb until three months after Tanchun was born.

It is said that every time I write a fan of the Red Chamber, the issue of age has to be entangled for a long time.

From the beginning of this article to the Red Chamber, when Lin Daiyu entered the Rongguo Mansion, the ages of the characters are as follows.

贾珠23、贾兰5、贾琏20、贾元春16（已进宫）、贾迎春9、贾探春6、贾惜春5、贾宝玉7、贾环5、林黛玉6、薛宝钗9、薛蟠11。
