Chapter 104 Too Much Pressure
Jia Zhu was still a little angry, saying that he had been looking for weapons for too long, otherwise he could have added a few more blows himself.
Jia Hu patted his younger brother's head, happy that his brother was protecting him. He felt very happy that he had such a family protecting him, and even his youngest brother was holding a brick to stand up for him.
The Jia family was harmonious, but the other families had their own opinions after today.
Zhang's eldest uncle went back and told Zhang Heming what had happened that day.
Zhang Heming was furious. Did the Wang family even know how to raise children? If not, he could do it for them.
Seeing his father about to explode, Zhang Zhiyuan repeatedly assured him that Jia Hu had absolutely not suffered any loss. Only then did Zhang Heming feel much better and said to his eldest grandson:
"Shi Yan, your cousin is too well-behaved. I'm worried that someone might bully him. You must remember to protect your cousin and not let anyone bully him."
Zhang Shiyan immediately assured his grandfather that he would absolutely protect his little cousin.
Zhang Zhiyuan felt that, judging from today's situation, his nephew was much smarter than his brother-in-law. He looked fair and tender, but he was actually quite shrewd.
Before meeting the Crown Prince, Jia Hu kept thinking about how, since he couldn't break away from the Crown Prince, if the Crown Prince was a good person, he could increase the Crown Prince's leverage and make his position more secure.
After much thought, Jia Hu thought of smallpox. At that time, there was no cowpox vaccination; smallpox vaccination involved human variolation, which had a very high mortality rate.
If the smallpox vaccine were available, the Crown Prince's position would be absolutely unshakeable, unless he were a fool and did something wrong in the future.
I will meet the Crown Prince tomorrow. After seeing him, I will decide whether to give it to him or not. If the Crown Prince is not suitable, I will go to my maternal grandfather and talk to him about the principle of choosing a good tree to perch on, so that he can abandon the darkness and come to the light.
I've never met the Crown Prince before, so words are meaningless. I'll meet him tomorrow, and if he really isn't the right person, I'll have a reason to convince my grandfather.
Jia Hu was unusually sleepless tonight, as this was a crucial moment that would determine his life or death.
Although my information tells me that the Crown Prince is a good one, people can change. How many people can resist the temptation when good things are placed in front of them? What if the Crown Prince is only a good person, but turns bad after he gains power? People's hearts cannot be trusted.
Without seeing it with his own eyes and confirming it, Jia Hu still dared not easily believe it, as many lives were at stake.
Jia Hu thought it over and over, and then realized that he was still overthinking things. He hadn't changed his overly cautious personality.
Back in that world, I could only rely on myself. I had to consider the worst possible consequences before making any decision, whether I could bear them.
But now things are different. I'm not alone anymore. My family is my source of strength, and I still have my memories—I'm like a prophet. My knowledge is also a source of strength.
After figuring it out, Jia Hu laughed at himself for worrying unnecessarily, realizing that he was now quite capable.
Jia Hu stretched out his body and went to sleep peacefully.
Waking up the next day, full of energy, Jia She felt envious.
"You're so happy to go to your maternal grandfather's house!"
Jia Hu was speechless. "Father, how old are you this year?"
Jia She looked at his son and thought, "Why do you look so childish?" He smiled in response.
Jia She just felt that the child seemed to prefer his maternal grandfather's family. It was no wonder, compared to his father-in-law's family, his own family had too many troubles and Hu'er had to worry about them. Now everyone was changing, and the atmosphere at home was much better, but he still felt that it couldn't compare to his father-in-law's family.
Jia Hu saw his father suddenly become gloomy and wondered what his father was jealous of. One was his own family, and the other was his maternal grandfather's family. What difference did it make? They were both fine.
But people still need comforting. He understood this, so he immediately went over to hug and coax Jia She, providing a one-stop service. With just a few words, he made Jia She overjoyed. His own son was still the dearest to him.
Jia Hu told his grandfather yesterday that he was going to see the Crown Prince today, and Jia Daishan asked Jia Hu to bring the gifts that the Jia family had prepared for the Crown Prince.
Although the meeting was held privately at the Zhang family's residence, since their family already knew about it and Jia Hu was the one who went to meet them, they couldn't just leave it unprepared.
Jia Hu arrived at the Zhang family early; he certainly couldn't arrive later than the Crown Prince.
Because the Crown Prince would be bringing his grandson along, his cousin Zhang Shiyan also told Jia Hu about the grandson.
The young imperial grandson, Situ Minghe, is not only the Crown Prince's first child this year, but also the Emperor's first grandson. He has been pampered since birth. The young imperial grandson has been well-educated by the Crown Prince and Crown Princess. He is intelligent, lively and cute, and has won the Emperor's heart.
Jia Hu carefully noted down all the things that needed to be noted.
While waiting for the crown prince, he rummaged through his own files.
Jia Hu's information shows that this child is very pitiful.
After the crown prince fell, he and his family were imprisoned until the retired emperor was dying and remembered his grandson, at which point they were released.
Fortunately, the new emperor still favored his nephew and did not completely eliminate him. In the end, the new emperor even granted him the title of prince, keeping him away from the political center. However, years of confinement left Situ Minghe as a frightened bird, constantly fearing that the emperor would take notice of him. He could only find solace in nature, but later he accidentally fell into the water and died without children.
Jia Hu sighed. If nothing unexpected had happened, this would have been a mere emperor, yet he ended up like this… truly…
Zhang Heming and Zhang Zhiyuan were heartbroken. They had watched this child grow up, and they were lucky that he ended up like that. Although an accident still happened in the end, they had at least had a few days of freedom.
Needless to say, Zhang Shiyan was his good friend. They had grown up together since childhood. He was the prince's study companion, and they studied together every day. No one knew better than him how much the prince loved freedom and how daring he was. He was fearless and dared not do anything, yet in the end, he became so afraid. This showed what kind of life he had lived during his confinement.
Jia Hu sighed, "No wonder everyone is fighting for it. Those who don't fight for it will suffer a truly terrible fate. No wonder the Crown Prince went mad in the end."
But who could be worse off than his maternal grandfather's family? When other families in the Dream of the Red Chamber suffer misfortune, apart from the innocent girls, the rest are considered to have brought it upon themselves, and deserve it!
But my maternal grandfather was so loyal and righteous!
Jia Hu then looked at his maternal grandfather and began to divide his personality; Jia Hu started acting out a drama in his mind.
My family is so wonderful, what am I going to do!
A mad version of Jia Hu,
No, that's enough. Let's all die together! I don't ask to be born on the same day, month, and year, but I ask to die on the same day, month, and year, so we can be reborn together and be companions!
The domineering Jia Hu,
What can I do? Spoil them rotten! Spoil them to death! The Situ family, huh? Watch me take hundreds of billions to acquire their entire family; from now on, they'll all be working for me.
"Awesome! So awesome! This is exactly how it feels!" Jia Hu desperately tried to suppress his laughter.
