"Ouch...... Ouch ......"

In a huge flower hall, a silver-haired old lady was reclining on the beauty couch, with one hand on her head leaning on the backrest of the half-old red money python, and her head was wiped with black inlaid red and green gemstones.

Beside her, a girl with a bee-waisted shoulder, duck egg face, black hair, a high nose, and a few freckles on both cheeks was half-kneeling with a beauty hammer and knocking her legs, and the old lady was not very comfortable but screamed softly.

At the bottom sat a kind woman, with a rosary in her hand and silently chanting scriptures in her mouth, and next to her sat a man who looked square and dignified, and when the old lady was groaning, he whispered, "Mother, do you want to call the doctor to come and see again?" ”

The old lady waved her hand: "Since people said it was a heart disease yesterday, why bother others to run these times?" Alas......" When the man heard this, he burst into tears and choked up, "Mother is not happy, and the sons are not uncomfortable? The mother is just suffering like this, but she doesn't know if it makes her sons unfilial? ”

As soon as he cried, the old lady also cried, and when she saw the old lady crying, the man hurriedly knelt down: "Mother, take care of your health." ”

Where did the people in his kneeling hall dare to stand, and the other person sitting next to him had to cry and kneel down even if he was tired, and there was a cry in the hall for a while.

Or the girl who was beating her legs hurriedly cried: "Old lady, stop quickly, otherwise this family will cry for a while, since you know that the imperial doctor told you not to mourn, this morning and night have been crying, how can you cry badly?" ”

The old lady saw that everyone in the hall was crying with her, and it was uncomfortable, so she hurriedly stopped crying: "What the mandarin duck said is right, how can you cry with me?" Hurry up. When everyone heard this, they all stood up, and the one next to him said, "Mother has been so unhappy these days, and it's not a good idea, but it's good for the mother to tell her sons what to do, and the sons should do their filial piety." ”

This person is called Jia Yu, who is the heir of the generation of the Rongguo Jia family, the eldest son of the Rongguo Gong Jia Daishan, the first-class general, and the upright one next to him is his younger brother, Jia Zheng, the current head of the Jia family.

Originally, it was supposed to be the eldest son to be the head of the family, but this Jia Yu was stubborn since he was a child, he only knew how to fight cocks, play dogs, eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, and if he couldn't study, he was sent to Jiubian to boil and ran back halfway, so he was disappointed that Jia Daishan, who originally had high hopes for the eldest son, was not allowed to inherit the title, but after Jia Daishan's death, Shi Lao Taijun was afraid that his brothers would have a discord because of this, so he still let Jia pardon Chengjue but did not allow him to take care of the house, and now this Jia Yu does not go to be an official, and he just drinks and has fun with his little wife every day, so he does not like Jia's mother. Therefore, he, the eldest son of the big house of Rongguo Mansion, could only live in the East Road Courtyard, while Jia Zheng lived in Rongxi Hall to support Jia's mother.

Although I wish Jia's mother would die early, but she couldn't do this on her face, so Jia Yu asked such a sentence, and Jia's mother didn't cry when she heard her eldest son say this, but wiped her tears and said: "I close my eyes, and I see your sister, my Min'er...... I just love your sister, and now ...... I see her saying goodbye to me, my Min'er, why are you so unfilial......"

Jia's mother cried again as she spoke, Jia Yu Jia Zheng also wiped her tears when she heard this, only the kind woman beside Jia Zheng had a pale face, she was Mrs. Jia Zheng, her maiden name was Wang, Mrs. Wang said: "Since the old lady is not happy, why not call a few sisters-in-law to try it?" ”

Although Mother Jia heard this, although she was in grief, she was still old-eyed, what did she mean? She said that she saw the ghost of her daughter, so you asked a few nuns to come and recite the scriptures? Is her daughter some kind of unclean stubbornness? She already knew that this Jia Zheng's wife had been at odds with Jia Min when she was young, and now that she sees Jia Min dead, she can't tell how happy she feels!

When Jia Zheng heard this, he said: "Mother should you invite a few monks and Taoist priests to come to the house to recite, maybe my mother can be more comfortable listening to the scriptures." Mother Jia looked at this doting little son with some tiredness, and nodded helplessly: "It's okay to invite a few little Taoist priests to read it!" Xu is missing your sister too much, I can't see the monk now, please invite a few little Taoist priests to come. ”

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she knew that she was talking about her, her face was ugly, she lowered her head and read her scriptures, Jia Yu heard the words: "Then it's better to go to Brother Jing's place to have a look, I heard someone say last time that there are dozens of little Taoist children who have just bought them over there in Xuanzhenguan." ”

Jia Zheng hesitated for a moment: "It's okay, I'll send someone to talk to Brother Zhen for a while, and ask him to send someone to talk to Brother Jing." The two of them were talking, only to hear the little girl outside salute and say, "Uncle Zhu, Second Master Bao, Second Master Bao, and the girls are here!" ”

After a while, a group of young ladies came in, and I saw a four- or five-year-old naughty boy laughing and getting into Jia's mother's arms, and Jia's mother was also happy and hugged into her arms.

A few little girls in the hall were also led by a girl to sit, the girl and a young man who had just come looked at each other and couldn't help but blush, the boy looked like he was full of bookish energy, but his face was slightly pale and his body seemed to be average, the boy looked at her and smiled and didn't speak.

Jia Zheng smiled: "Zhu'er is back? Have you met with the teacher today? The boy hurriedly bowed down and said, "Back to the master, my son came back and saw the master, and the master encouraged the son and left." Jia Zheng smiled and nodded, and then said seriously: "You have to know etiquette to others, don't slack off, you have to listen to the words of the master at a young age, don't have your own ideas, do you understand?" Jia Zhu bowed down and was taught.

Jia Yu on the side had a gloomy face and scolded a young man next to the boy loudly: "Damn it! Fooling around all day long, you also have the face to stand next to your big brother Zhu! I'm ashamed of you! Where did you run and fool around? ”

The young man shrunk his neck and his face was pale and he didn't dare to speak, and the boy smiled: "Uncle is inevitably too harsh on Lian'er, and Lian'er is also good now." Jia Yu looked at the young man and snorted coldly: "Learn more from your big brother Zhu!" People are now a decent showman! Look at you again! Something that can't be put on the table! Jia Zheng also persuaded: "It's all good, big brother, don't force Lian'er too much." ”

That son is Jia Zheng's eldest son Jia Zhu, who has been studious since he was a child, and won the first few places in the government examination in the last subject and won the fame of Xiucai.

And the young man next to him is Jia Lian, the son of Jia Yu, who is also the same urine as his father, who is not good at reading and reading, and is not good at practicing martial arts, Xu is a Chinese tradition, and if he can't do it, he has to force his children to do it, so now Jia Yu is also a dragon slaying boy and eventually becomes an evil dragon, when his father Jia Daishan was ruthless to him, he was ruthless to Jia Lian, and even exceeded, beating and scolding at every turn.

On the seat, Jia Mu hugged the naughty boy and said, "Where did you go today?" The naughty boy said in a childish voice: "I went to Brother Zhen's Huifang Garden, and I saw the flowers there with my sisters, it's so beautiful, can you go and see it together with your ancestors?" ”

Jia's mother hugged him and smiled: "Okay, good, it's still my Baoyu who thinks about me!" This naughty boy is Jia Zheng's second son Jia Baoyu, and Jia Yu was very uncomfortable when he heard it, so he scolded Jia Lian and said: "Damn it, your ancestor is useless and wants to find a few little Taoist priests to recite the scriptures, don't you go to your eldest brother Zhen and say it, let him send someone to invite you to pay tribute to your uncle!" ”

Hearing this, Jia Baoyu raised his head and said, "Isn't the ancestor's body useless?" Jia Mu sighed and said, "It's your aunt...... That's it, seeing Baoyu's ancestor is much more comfortable. Jia Baoyu said in a childish voice: "I just heard from Brother Zhen that Brother Jing next to Uncle Jing seems to be a good person who can recite scriptures, and Uncle Jing can't leave for a while, Ancestor, who is Brother Jing?" Is it our family? ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, Jia Mu raised her head and said, "This ...... Who is Brother Jing'er? Why haven't I heard of it? Jia Zheng and Jia Zheng brothers also looked at each other, Jia Zheng thought for a moment before suddenly realized: "It's Brother Zhen and his brother, right?" A few years older than Baoyu, when Brother Jing took him out of the house, he was rarely mentioned in the family in recent years, not to mention the old lady, even I was stunned......"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and the sisters looked at a little girl who was shrunk in a big chair, the younger brother of Brother Jane, isn't that ...... Xiao Xichun's second brother? The little girl also raised her head a little timidly, her big eyes flashing with curiosity, her second brother?

……

"That's why the old lady is here? You should have sent someone to give you orders. ”

Jia Zhen, who looked a little rich, bowed down and said with a smile: "That's the case, Lai Er happened to see it when he went to invite the master that day, if it weren't for the old lady's mention, even I would have forgotten him, speaking of which, he is only three or four years older than Baoyu." ”

Jia Mu was curious: "I heard Baoyu say that he is a good one, why didn't he bring it to me to see?" Jia Zhen smiled: "It's really a good one, I heard that I can only read the words on the Taoist scriptures at the age of three or four, and the old man also likes it so much that he can't leave the front of him for a moment, so he didn't let the old lady read it." ”

As soon as he said this, everyone in the hall was surprised, and Jia Zheng was shocked: "Is it true that you can read and write at the age of three or four? Jia Zhen said: "How dare you lie to the second uncle, although it is my younger brother, I didn't panic for him, he did read at the age of three or four, and now he writes well." ”

The three or four-year-old literacy prodigy has only been heard of in books, but now when she hears that there is such a character in the family, it is unavoidably novel, Jia Mu said angrily: "Then it should be that I should come to see it, how can there be a reason that I can't recognize my own children?" Speaking of which, it's still my grandson, is it possible that your Jia family has a good one now, so you hide it and refuse to let my wife see it? ”

Jia Zhen hurriedly smiled and said, "Look at what the old lady said, how can it...... Then I'll send someone to ask the master? Jia Mu nodded and said: "Let's just say that my body has not been very good recently, I want to listen to him chant the scriptures, I know that he is good at cultivating now, since he is unwilling to come, let his son come to me to recite it." ”

When Jia Zhen heard this, she smiled and ordered people to go to Xuanzhen Temple outside the city.
