Prequel to the Red Chamber: I Am the Second Wife

Jia Zhu didn't expect Wang Ziteng to stand at the door to pick him up. He stared at the face similar to his mother's outline in disbelief for a moment. "Why did Uncle come here in person? But it really upset me."

"Okay, what are you talking about at home, come down quickly. Your grandfather and grandmother are waiting for you." Wang Ziteng picked up the child and got out of the car.After getting out of the car, a child slightly older than Jia Zhu was looking at him with his head tilted.Wang Ziteng pointed at the child: "This is your cousin." Jia Zhu knew that his uncle had a cousin and a cousin, so he hurriedly smiled at his cousin: "Is it Brother Zhuer? I am your cousin." From now on, you can just call me Jiayan." Wang Shouzhi then pulled Jia Zhu in affectionately.Mrs. Zhang was waiting for them at the second gate. She saw her son dragging a child of similar age in from afar, and knew it was Jia Zhu.

"But here it is, your grandmother was talking about it. The whole family surrounded the nephew and went in." Mrs. Tang also had a little girl beside Wang Ziteng in the main hall, who was Wang Ziteng's daughter Jia De, because today when Jia Zhu came, Wang Ziteng called a pair. Children don't want to go to school to accompany Jia Zhu, it will save him from feeling lonely.Mrs. Tang put her arms around Jia Zhu, booing and inquiring about her warmth. Jia Zhu was looked at by Mrs. Tang's arms, and Jia Zhu only felt warm in her heart.Waiting for Jia Zhu to salute Mrs. Tang, Mrs. Tang pulled Jia Zhu and sat beside her. Seeing Jia Zhu, she couldn't help feeling emotional: "Your mother often writes letters, but I can't meet easily. I saw you today. I also feel comforted. When you came to the capital, you were still a little fluff, and you grew up so much in a blink of an eye. It is naturally good to hear your uncle say that you are going to enter the palace. It is just that you are a child, so I am not at ease. From now on, if you have any grievances or worries, tell me, or tell your uncle that he is serving in the palace, so ask him if you have any questions.” Jia Zhu hurriedly stood up and said yes after hearing what her grandmother said.

Mrs. Tang held Jia Zhu in her arms: "Silly boy, that's the etiquette for outsiders outside. I'm your grandmother, what a ghost. I just like grandchildren talking and laughing by my side. I see you The rules are very good, and your mother must have taught you." Madam Tang asked about Jia Zheng and Zili's situation in Qingzhou, what Jia Zhu likes to eat, and where Jia's residence is now.

Jia Zhu said one by one, hearing that Jia Lian moved to Jia Mu's side, and Jia Zhu lived alone in the courtyard behind Jia Mu's building, Mrs. Tang's eyes flashed an imperceptible look: "Actually, it doesn't matter where you live. That’s right, anyway, you spend more time in the palace and less time at home. I’ll ask someone to pick you up to play when you come out on vacation.” The wife of Jia’s family is really a caring person. When Jia Zhu didn’t come, she would I can't think of Jia Lian anymore. Now that my grandson comes, why does he take Lian'er as a treasure.You must know that Jia Lian's biological mother has been gone for several years, and Jia's mother only remembered it now, it must have been too long.

Jia Zhu's eyes lit up when she heard that her grandmother often picked her up. She was about to say something, but she looked at her uncle with special meaning. Jia Zhu was seen through by Wang Ziteng, and her face flushed.Wang Ziteng said to his mother: "I will take my nephew to see my father. You are so lucky, I heard that you are here, but the master has come down from the mountain. Normally, even a first-rank official came to you, and your grandfather would not reward you." Face" Said Wang Ziteng and pulled Jia Zhu out.

On the way to see Wang Dingqian, Wang Ziteng said casually: "I am naturally happy if you like to come. It's just that you are going to enter the palace alone. There are countless eyes and ears staring at you in that place. You put too much on that plate." One dish, one more look at that thing, one more smile at someone will be noticed and remembered. You have to remember, don't think you are a child and indulge yourself easily."

Jia Zhu listened to his uncle's words and lowered his head to ponder for a long time before he raised his head and looked at his uncle seriously: "Thank you uncle for reminding me, I will remember that. When I came, my mother said something to my uncle, so I followed along." Mother is the same, I have something to ask uncle if it's okay?"

"It's natural. Your mother and I are brothers and sisters. You just need to treat me as your mother. If you want to ask anything, just tell me!" Wang Ziteng puffed up his chest and nodded proudly. The fact that Zili trusts himself so much is called Wang Ziteng. Very touched. "Well, do my grandmother and uncle don't like me? I came here yesterday. Although my grandmother is very kind to me, I always feel a little strange. My uncle has no official position, but he doesn't go home all day. I didn't see him when I went to visit Shadow. Brother Lian'er of the uncle's family doesn't pay much attention to me." Compared with the enthusiasm of the Wang family, Jia Zhu felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere of Jia's house.

"Well, in fact, the habits of each family are different. Our family doesn't like ostentation. It's false and uncomfortable for a family to meet each other. But your grandfather's family is very particular about ostentation and rules. Look at your grandfather's family. How many servants are there, look here, there are quite a few servants. Everyone has their own way of life, and you can choose your own way of life when you are in charge of your own family in the future. If your parents are not around, you have to learn Protect yourself, servants. I don’t think you are unfamiliar with this thing. Remember to treat them with kindness and strength. Be shrewd when you should be shrewd, and be confused when you should be confused. If they see you as young and easy to bully, you just take it. Come out of your own identity, just don't be impatient. If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move. If you want to move, you have to win with one blow, you know?" Wang Ziteng urged his nephew earnestly.After all, Zhu'er is young, so Wang Ziteng can't make his sister worry about it.

When Jia Zhu saw Wang Dingqian, she finally understood why her uncle and mother were such lively and lovely people, because her grandfather was just a smiling old urchin.

"My grandson is here and asked me to see how much Zhu'er has grown." Wang Dinggan put a fruit into his grandson's hand with a smile, and Jia Zhu picked it up and weighed it.
