The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 174
Not to mention the emperor's side, but also the Jia's side, during the two years when Jia Ke was away, nothing happened and nothing happened.Due to the eradication of Lai Da, the income of the government has increased somewhat in recent years.

As for the gods in Jia's mansion, the old lady Jia's mother now loves Jia Baoyu to such an outrageous degree that she almost wants to give him everything that Jia's mansion can offer.So there were rumors about the heir in Jia's mansion. Some said that Jia Zhu must be the heir because he was the eldest son and grandson.But some people don't take it seriously, they think Jia Baoyu is the future heir of the Jia family.Although Jia Zhu is the eldest son, Jia Baoyu has a history, and he will definitely bring the Jia family to greater glory in the future.

Mrs. Wang was at a loss when she heard these two rumors, after all, both were his sons.No matter which of the two becomes the head of the Jia family, she is the future old lady of the Jia family.So she neither suppressed nor agreed with these rumors, which caused these rumors to intensify and became a topic of discussion for almost every servant in Jia's mansion.

But Jia Zhu was surrounded by these rumors. He felt very uncertain about his future, so he studied harder.He believes that as long as he is successful in his studies, he will become an official in the future.But Jia Baoyu is just a baby, and when the time comes, his official fortune will continue, and Jia Baoyu will not be able to shake his status even if he is favored.

But things turned out to be contrary to expectations. In the second year's rural examination, Jia Zhu couldn't hold on to the first round. Due to long-term use of drugs, his health was really poor.In the first three-day exam, he was carried out of the exam room because he was too weak to persist.So he failed the exam this year, and had to wait for the second exam three years later.

This blow was fatal to Jia Zhu.Jia Zheng was also very disappointed with his failure, but Jia Zheng didn't make it too difficult for him.After all, he knew that he was unable to persevere because of his frailty, not due to his lack of knowledge, so he told Mrs. Wang to ask Jia Zhu for a famous doctor to take care of his body.

And the doctor who invited him was baffled by his poor health, so he could only prescribe some tonic medicine for him, but it didn't work at all.It wasn't until King Beijing recommended an old doctor to clarify the matter. After seeing Jia Zhu's symptoms, the old doctor asked Mrs. Wang to let all the servants leave the room, and then quietly said to Mrs. Wang: " I think Mr. Ling is taking Aphrodisiac. This medicine is not available in China. It is a tribute from foreign countries. Most people can’t afford this medicine. A small amount of this medicine is a good medicine for refreshing and relieving pain. Once it is used for a long time If you take a lot of it, your body will collapse. I think you have taken the medicine for too long and the amount is too large, and it is irreparable."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang was so frightened that she collapsed on the ground. She never thought that such an expensive medicinal material would be a harmful poison. She always thought that it would cause a slight hindrance to the body, and it was nothing serious.

Mrs. Wang suddenly woke up, knelt down in front of the old doctor, and begged him crying: "Old man, since you have seen it, what can he do with this medicine? As long as it can save his life, no matter how much money you spend willing."

The old doctor shook his head and said to her: "It's too late, the medicine has penetrated into the marrow of the bone now. It can't be pulled out anymore. If you want me to say, hurry up and make a marriage for your son, at least leave him a queen. If you procrastinate, I am afraid that you will not succeed if you want to stay."

Mrs. Wang was completely desperate after hearing his words, and now his tears kept streaming down, and finally asked the old doctor with a sob: "How long can my son last?"

The old doctor said truthfully: "If Mr. Ling takes the prescription I prescribed and never touches that thing again, I think it will be okay in 25 or six years. If you only take my medicine, you will not be able to quit that thing, which means five or six years." It's been a year. But I think Mr. Ling looks like he will never be able to live without that thing again."

Mrs. Wang had no choice but to let the old doctor prescribe the medicine, take away all Jia Zhu's drugs, and personally supervise him to take the medicine every day.But how can it be so easy to quit drugs.As soon as Jia Zhu left A Furong, she felt unbearable pain, and sometimes she even wanted to die immediately.Seeing this situation, Mrs. Wang couldn't bear his suffering, so she gave him the drug again.I just took the medicine prescribed by the old doctor, but it didn't stop for a day.

After a period of time, Jia Zhu was bedridden and took medicine every day, declaring to the outside world that if it was a great tonic for the body, it would be used to supplement the body that Jia Zhu had suffered from studying day and night.

After Jia Zheng heard about this incident, he blamed himself for a long time.He remembered that when Jia Ke left, he told him that Jia Zhu was not in good health and asked him to take care of him. He didn't take it to heart at the time, and he didn't expect Jia Ke to say it.If I had known him earlier, I would have listened to Jia Ke's good advice and paid more attention to Jia Zhu's body so that he would not study so hard that his body would be exhausted.

Now who is the most leisurely person in Jia's mansion is Aunt Zhou. Her son is now a fourth-rank official, and she is still in charge of her son's family. take care of.Except for thinking about Jia Ke every day, he eats and drinks in Jia's mansion, and lives leisurely.When he was free, he wandered around the Rongguo Mansion, looking for people to chat with, and his life was very happy.

Although Jia Zheng is not spending the night with Aunt Zhou, he still comes to sit in her room every now and then.In the eyes of outsiders and Aunt Zhou, Jia Zheng is a nostalgic person, and Jia Ke is already a fourth-rank guard, so the servants are also respectful to Aunt Zhou, and no one dares to underestimate her.

As for Jia Zheng's other aunt, Aunt Zhao, she was behaving strangely during this period. She seemed to have eaten up all the food delivered by the big kitchen every day, while her mother often visited him during this period, and every time I don't know what it is in a bag, but other than that, nothing major happened.

As far as Erfang is concerned, apart from Jia Zhu's unhappiness, everything is going well.It's a mess in such a big room.Since Aunt Zhang's death, Jia Amnesty has sealed off the courtyard where she lived.No one was allowed in but him.Even the cleaning inside was done by Jia Amnesty himself.

After that, Jia Amnesty returned to his original appearance as a drunken and lustful person, and he no longer had the fighting spirit.After accepting concubines one after another, everyone thought he was back to normal and forgot about Aunt Zhang.

But Jia She often ran to Aunt Zhang's room alone, but the servants could hear Jia She's heart-piercing crying alone in the room.But on the second day, Jia Amnesty left the room as if nothing had happened, and continued his life of debauchery, and his temper became more and more irritable, and he would always blame the servants.

After knowing this situation, Jia's mother could only let out a long sigh.For Jia Amnesty who was really moved, she really had no choice.

But Jia Lian stayed in the Chinese government for a long time, and Jia Amnesty had no objection, except for Aunt Zhang, he didn't care about anything else.And Jia Lian himself was very happy. He idled about in Rongguo Mansion every day, and had no serious business to do.As for reading, he has long since quit.

Mother Jia felt more and more heavy about the current situation in Jia's mansion. She often thought of the last conversation she had with Lai Nanny. If it hadn't been for that time, she would not have noticed that Jia's mansion had declined to such an extent.Now the only one supporting her is Jia Ke.As long as Jia Ke can succeed in the future, all these bad things in Jia's mansion can be resolved.As for Jia Baoyu, she also really likes Jia Baoyu now, thinking that since he can't stand out, it's better to let him spend his whole life in the gentle village, which can be regarded as a little compensation for him.After all, neither the current emperor nor the Jia Ke in the future can tolerate Jia Baoyu's slight power.

Now Jia Baoyu is only one and a half years old, but he speaks very fluently and clearly. He is completely a smart and handsome child.Jia Yuanchun is now taking care of Jia Baoyu inseparably. When Jia Baoyu first started talking, he called Jia Yuanchun "mother". Baoyu raised him as his own child.
