Chapter 40: Maternal Ancestor
Daiyu lagged behind, glanced up at Jia Zhu, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Zhu, did you say something to your mother in the car?" I look at you, now that you are happy, did your mother promise you something good? ”
Jia Zhu was stunned for a moment, looked at this little man, wore a big red satin jacket, tied a jade pendant with money inlaid on his waist, bright yellow silk, two bags on his head, a pink pearl flower of the same size as the size of a little finger on one side, born with ice and snow lovely, a pair of fawn-like black and round eyes of Ling Ling, looking at him staggeringly.
Jia Zhu's heart moved, in such a pair of eyes, he couldn't even think of teasing a child, but said sincerely, "It's just for the sake of going to the academy." ”
Daiyu smiled, "Which academy does Big Brother Zhu want to go to?" ”
He pondered for a moment, "I don't know very well, but my uncle's background in the imperial examination, if my aunt can propose it and let my uncle help me examine it, it will naturally not be wrong." ”
Daiyu nodded, but she was thinking in her heart that her second uncle Jia Zheng had always been "the favorite reader, corporal Lixian, helping the weak and the needy", but unfortunately she had never heard of what it was like to read. On the original book, Daiyu's younger brother died young, and after her mother died of illness, Jia Yucun brought her to Beijing, and Jia Zheng and Jia Yucun negotiated speculation, but refused to take the time to see her.
Come to think of it, for Jia Zhu, Jia Zhengding is very heavy-winged, very strict in discipline, and very close to homework. Although, the book does not say how Jia Zhu died. But on the section where Baoyu was beaten, Baoyu was beaten hard by Jia Zheng, and when Mrs. Wang hugged Baoyu and cried, she shouted "Bitter child scared", and remembered Jia Zhu for a while, crying, "If you live, I don't care if you die a hundred times", Jia Zheng listened, "The tears rolled down like rolling melons."
Daiyu thought, what did Jia Zheng think of at that time? Jia Zhu must be a good one, he entered school at the age of fourteen and became a showman. But on the other hand, what kind of scene is Jia clan science, being able to show off talent in such an environment, can you know how much work is used on weekdays?
Jiafu has a complex number of personnel, and it is also a big family, and it is an old aristocrat, and it is two of the four kings and eight princes.
Jiafu was originally divided into Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion on both sides, as early as the Taizu period, the two brothers Jia Yan and Jia Yuan, a mother and compatriots, started with military merits, and one door was divided into two families, and Jia Yan was named Ning Guogong and Jia Yuan was Rongguo Gong. Ningguo Gongju was the longest, gave birth to four sons, the eldest son Jia Daihua attacked the lord, raised two sons, Jia Fu, died at the age of eight or nine, and then Jia Jing attacked the official, although he was also born as a jinshi, but he was unwilling to contribute to the career economy, only blindly good, burned Dan and smelted mercury, and gave the official to his son Jia Zhen, which was the Changfang of Ningguo Mansion.
The title of Jia Yuan, the Duke of Rongguo, is also the eldest son Jia Daishan, and now the old lady is his widow, the young lady of the Shixun Shi Hou family of Jinling, who raised two sons, the eldest lord Jia Amnesty, attacked the title of a first-class general, married the wife of Xing, the second lord Jia Zheng, originally planned to take the road of the imperial examination, who knows, was given a copy by the old father on his deathbed, and was given an official who was in charge of the Ministry of Works, and married the sister of Wang Ziteng, the second uncle of Daiyu, and now Daiyu's second uncle Wang.
Jia Zheng has a total of three sons and two daughters, the eldest son Jia Zhu, the second son Jia Baoyu, and the third son Jia Huan. The eldest daughter, Jia Yuanchun, is said to have been elected to the palace last year, and now she is a female historian in Taiming Palace. Daiyu entered the palace several times, but did not see this cousin.
The second daughter Tanchun was born with Jia Huan's aunt, and now, Tanchun, the concubine Yingchun from the old man, and Jia Zhen's sister Xichun of Ningguo Mansion are also raised in front of the old lady.
At this time, I heard the old lady saying, "Go and call all the girls, today is also a happy day, my aunt and grandmother are back, and my sister and brother are also here for the first time, how can I stay in the house and not come out!" ”
At the door, two maids had already said yes and went.
"When you came back today, your two sisters-in-law were originally going to stay at home to serve, but who knows, the day was not good, so I went to the Wang family over there to send them off. It's about your second sister-in-law's niece's niece, whose scientific name is Xifeng, and I heard that she is a capable person. ”
Daiyu heard the old lady talking to her mother about Jia Lian's daughter-in-law, and after a while, the curtain at the door was lifted, and a young daughter-in-law led three girls in, the eldest one was about a year older than her, and the remaining two were about the same age as her.
The young daughter-in-law is Li Kun, dressed very beautifully, with a gold-inlaid jade hairpin on her head, wearing a honey-colored narrow coat, and a green cotton silk skirt, her demeanor is demure and her speech is also very gentle.
Daiyu has heard that the sister-in-law of Brother Zhu's family, although her mother's family was once a famous eunuch in Jinling, her father was the country's son of the priest wine, and the family is also a big family, but the children will spend a lot, and they don't know that there are no planners, and now they have declined. When Li Kun came out of the cabinet, it was his father who finally made up sixteen dowries, and when he came to this Zhong Ming Ding Food Clan, Li Kun had to fold up a hundred and ten times the spirit, and it was difficult to maintain decency.
At this time, she led the three sisters-in-law over and recognized Daiyu, and the old lady hurriedly said beside her, "This is your eldest brother's daughter-in-law, this is your sister Yingchun, sister Tanchun, sister Xichun." ”
The daughters-in-law next to them hurriedly coaxed, "The old lady's memory is really good, this is generally tall and short, if you don't remember the date of birth clearly, where can you tell the size?" ”
They are all a group of small, four little girls around the eaves brother, the eaves brother is in good spirits today, in the house kept making trouble, for a while a glass kang screen fell off the kang, knocked a corner, and then pushed a vase of Ru kiln to the ground, smashed to the ground.
The maids and ladies in the house circled around him, wanting to stop him, but he didn't dare, but Brother Eaves had a big temper, and when he saw the human wall, he couldn't get out, and he looked at Daiyu for help, and he didn't see her people, so he stood on the ground, grinning and crying.
"You little ancestor, you broke those things, and you are still crying!"
As soon as Jia Shi spoke, the old lady stopped, "Why have you been away from me for the past few years, and your eyelids have become shallow?" What's the point of breaking this thing? He's landed, he hasn't seen anything from me yet, it's so easy to come, and you're still holding back! ”
As he spoke, he said to the maids, "Don't stop it, all the people in this house are my own, my brother will fall if he falls, no one will do anything, and he won't say anything about yours, just be so stingy, look at it and don't go to the stage." ”
Next to it, there was a mother-in-law who quickly followed to make up for it, "What the old lady said is, who is distressed about something, but she is afraid that her brother will hurt herself, not to mention a few small objects, if your brother wants to go to the house to uncover the tiles, he will have to help carry the ladder." ”
