Ring Lord of the Red Chamber

After sending the little guy outside the second room courtyard, Elder Xi wobbled back to his study, sat there in a daze for a long time.He didn't come back to his senses until the maid outside came in and asked "Is there a meal?"

Just now, the little guy made a wish to him, but there were no difficulties or dangers, but he was just asked to take him to the Zhuangzi outside the city to play for a while.This relieved the Elder Master who was vaguely unsure in his heart, and he couldn't help laughing at himself for thinking too much.That's just a five or six-year-old doll, and all he thinks about all day is just the word "play", what kind of grand ambitions can he have?

Speaking of it, in a few days it will be the day of the Ninety-Nine Double Ninth Festival, which is the day of climbing high and stepping into autumn.He originally said that when he took the little guy to the Zhuangzi in Xiaotangshan that day, the hot springs there were quite rare.

It's a pity that he was rejected by others. Instead, he asked a lot of questions, and finally chose a farm in the suburbs. He said that he only ate chicken, duck, beef, sheep and pigs on weekdays, and this time he wanted to see what the live ones looked like.Aside from being funny, Grand Master Xi naturally agreed.This is the time for children of this age to be interested in these small animals.

When the food was almost used up, Mr. Xi sipped a glass of wine, and couldn't help but think of that little guy again.However, halfway through the wine tasting, the elder suddenly let out a "huh".But why?

Because of agreeing to the amnesty of his uncle Jia, Jia Xiaohuan gradually recovered from his "sickness".On the eighth day of September, Mr. Huan finally recovered from his illness, and he could go to pay his respects to the elders.This can be regarded as the calling condition of their uncle and nephew. Jia Xiaohuan went to pay his respects, and Grandpa She took him to play.

Waking up early in the morning, Jia Xiaohuan dressed and washed under the care of little Ji Xianger, and then used the leftover cakes from last night to pad her stomach.At such a young age, it will be unknown how long it will take him to pay his respects to the huge Rongguo Mansion.Forget about the past, now Master Huan has no intention of wronging his stomach anymore.

As for the mother, Aunt Zhao, she had already taken Xiao Que out of the house, and was waiting in front of Mrs. Wang to serve her.Being someone else's concubine is such hard work, no matter whether you have worked hard the night before, you will always have to work hard the next morning.

After tidying himself up, Jia Xiaohuan didn't take anyone with him, and walked alone to Mengpozhai, Jia Zheng's outer study.Of course, even if he wants to take someone with him, there is no servant around him now.Probably, his mother's nephew, Qian Huai, would come to him when he was supposed to start school next year.

It's not too far from the small courtyard where he lived to Mengpozhai, but Jia Xiaohuan still walked for more than a quarter of an hour.These days after his rebirth, he has been staying in his own yard, except for those few days when he went to the garden to wait for his uncle Jia She.He used to walk on this road twice every day, but this is the first time in his life.If possible, he really hoped this would be the last time.

When Fang arrived at the door of Meng Pozhai, what he met was the contemptuous eyes and perfunctory attitude of the boy at the door.In the past, he might feel resentful, but now Jia Xiaohuan doesn't care about it, he just stood up straight and said: "I'm here to greet the master, you go and report."

He has already experienced too much, and he has already wrapped himself up firmly, so there is no way such a small person can hurt him.

This time it was beyond Jia Xiaohuan's expectations, the servant only went in for a while, and then came out and said that the master told him to go in.Jia Xiaohuan originally thought that it would be a waste of effort today, and then she could walk away.

Frowning impatiently inwardly, Jia Xiaohuan followed the servant slowly into the courtyard gate.In the past, he always staggered with his short legs in order to keep up with the footsteps of the servant; but now, Jia Xiaohuan had no intention of following up at all, and he was calm and even slowed down on purpose.As a result, he was naturally left far behind by the servant.

When Jia Xiaohuan walked to the door of the study, she saw the young man waiting and dared not go in alone.Originally, he was a slave, and he didn't care about the steps of his little master, but took big steps on his own. This is not the way to be a slave.Received an angry look from the boy, but Jia Xiaohuan didn't hesitate to give him a smile.

"Greetings to the master." After reliving his life, this was the first time he saw Jia Zheng, but Jia Xiaohuan didn't feel any emotion.After saluting with regular movements, he bowed his head and stood in front of Jia Zheng, waiting to listen to his lecture.He didn't want to take a second look at this person.

And Jia Zheng didn't let him down, he sat down behind the desk with a solemn face, and said in a stern voice: "The plan of a day is in the morning. If you are like you, it's a waste of good time to be idle and procrastinating early in the morning." It's unforgivable to be so stubborn at such a young age. If it wasn't for waiting for you today, I have delayed a lot of official duties, which is really inappropriate."

"Is the master going to court early?" Jia Xiaohuan raised her face slightly and asked innocently: "I heard from Lian's second sister-in-law that high officials have to go to court every day, so they are so busy in the morning. Master is also a high official, right? I know I was wrong, and I will definitely come here early in the future, so I don’t dare to delay Master’s morning court again.”

Shit business!I have been an official for half my life, but I have only climbed from the sixth rank to the fifth rank, and I have not even been able to touch the qualifications of the early court in my whole life. What kind of official duties can I delay early in the morning? !No one has said he is fat yet, he is already gasping for breath, why should he be ashamed? !

The Second Master Zheng, who was about to reprimand the concubine, was suddenly choked up and couldn't continue.Immediately, he scolded rather angrily: "I don't know what I have learned from that ignorant person all day long, and I don't know how to make progress at all, so I work hard with that crooked way. Fortunately, this family doesn't need to rely on you , Otherwise, the family is really unlucky. Hurry up and get out!"

Finally able to leave!Jia Xiaohuan happily agreed, leaving behind Jia Zheng and Jia Cunzhou, who was so angry that his chest was tight and short of breath, and walked briskly by himself.He said how did Jia Zheng show his face to see him today, and now listening to those accusations and cursing, it must be something that his uncle said to him, which made this happen today.

With such a time, if he comes to pay his respects again in the future, he will probably still be rejected.

Early in the morning, when Jia Zheng was angry, Jia Xiaohuan couldn't help feeling really refreshed.Even when he was going to see Mrs. Wang next, he felt less impatient.

……

Coming out of Mengpo Zhai in a happy mood, Jia Xiaohuan walked towards the northwest, where Mrs. Wang's daily living yard was.

Although it was only the rising sun at this time, the servants of Rongguo Mansion were already busy.On Jia Xiaohuan's journey, many maids and women hurried past him, but few of them greeted him, let alone greeted him as the third master.If it was back then, Jia Xiaohuan would naturally be angry and wronged, and she would have to bring it out in front of Mrs. Wang, and then she would inevitably be reprimanded and punished by her.Of course, most of the time, it was to bring his mother into trouble.

Mrs. Wang's courtyard door is much more difficult to enter than Jia Zheng's study.After Jia Xiaohuan asked the little maid to go in and report, she stood at the gate of the courtyard and waited for nearly a quarter of an hour before she saw a second-class maid come out and called him in.But even if he was able to enter the courtyard gate and wanted to enter the room to greet Mrs. Wang, he would still have to wait outside the gate.

Fortunately, it's the beginning of September, and the morning is lukewarm, but Jia Xiaohuan didn't suffer.If it's a little later, I'm afraid it will suffer.

When she saw Mrs. Wang, she had already taken care of herself, and she was sitting on the center seat with a solemn face, holding a bowl of hot goat milk and slowly sipping it.Even when he heard Jia Xiaohuan's voice coming in, he didn't give him a look.Around her, there are more than a dozen maidservants standing tall and short, among them are the two aunts Zhou and Zhao.

Jia Xiaohuan bowed to Mrs. Wang just like she bowed to Jia Zheng just now, she didn't kneel and kowtow.Of course, in terms of daily etiquette, he is not disrespectful, after all, the knees and head of the boy's family are actually relatively precious, so there is no need to kneel and kowtow every day to greet you.However, in the past, they used to kneel and worship, so how could this change not attract people's attention?

The maids and women next to her didn't say anything, even Mrs. Wang, who was concentrating on her hot tits, quickly cast a look over.She is naturally very dissatisfied, it's just that this little bitch hasn't come to pay her respects to her aunt for a long time, but since she came today, she doesn't even know how tall she is, it can be seen that her heart has been raised for a while!

But even if she was unhappy in her heart, Mrs. Wang didn't show it on her face, she just slowed down the speed of sipping hot milk.She is busy with serious business now, but she can't see the irrelevant people in front of her, let's tell that little bastard to wait a while before she is excused.Since the wife was already out of sight, the girl next to her would naturally not talk too much to remind her that brother Huan below was still bent over.

Although Aunt Zhao was also surprised at her son's not kneeling, but seeing his wife and the others had left her son there, she couldn't help but put her surprise aside, and only felt distressed and annoyed.Just when she couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to remind his wife with her face down, she couldn't help but stop her foot just as she was about to lift it up, so as not to let her stagger.

Why?

Her son, who was ignored, didn't need his wife to greet him at all, but he straightened up by himself.Aunt Zhao only felt that her eyes went dark, and she really wanted to just faint like this, regardless of this hapless son.

This wife doesn't like Brother Huan at all, and she likes to find excuses to find fault with him, and she has to punish him every now and then.This time, for such an obvious unruly behavior, the wife has to catch it severely, and I don't know how to punish my brother later.Thinking of this Aunt Zhao, her mouth was full of bitterness. How could she escape if her son committed a crime and was punished? She had to support him, so that his son would suffer less.

Sure enough, Mrs. Wang finally looked straight at the lowly Seed standing upright in front of her. Apart from being annoyed in her heart, she couldn't help but find it funny.It's only been a few days, and I don't know who gave him what medicine, but he has become more courageous, but it's a pity... his mind is getting more and more unclear.

Immediately, Mrs. Wang handed the small bowl in her hand to a servant girl, and then took the handkerchief from another person to wipe the corners of her mouth, and then a servant girl handed over a teacup, she took it and drank it. , and then spit it into the gargle held by the maid, and finally cleaned the hands before it was over.It was only at this time that she opened her mouth to speak, and her tone was very flat.

"Brother Huan is getting older now, but his rules are getting worse and worse than before. Aunt Zhao, the master trusts you, so I entrusted my brother to be raised by myself. Is this how you raised him? Wait for the future, brother I will see how you will explain to the master then. In the past, I have disagreed with you many times, but you are getting more and more complacent, making my brother even more unseemly."

Aunt Zhao felt bitter when she heard this, she stepped forward and knelt down on the ground, listening to Mrs. Wang's lesson with humiliation.She has to suffer such bad anger early in the morning, and she is waiting for her to go back, so she has to slap the bastard a few times.

Mrs. Wang didn't care what she was thinking, and said slowly: "When I return to the old lady and the master tomorrow, Brother Huan will also have to be paired with a few nuns for nuns. For a family like ours, it's up to us whether we will be successful or not." Said, this rule is absolutely indisputable. Now my brother is still young and does not show it. When he becomes a man and walks outside in the future, if he does not understand the rules and etiquette like this, he will lose the entire Rongguo Mansion and the entire Jia family. face, that would be a serious crime, and no one can bear it."

"As for today's matter, we can't let it go." Mrs. Wang glanced at Jia Xiaohuan who was still standing firmly, feeling extremely unhappy in her heart, she closed her eyes slightly to block Rubing's gaze, "I have a Buddhist scripture here, Huan Brother, I will go and copy it now, so that I can improve my temperament."

She naturally knew that Jia Huan couldn't read and write yet, she said that she was copying the scriptures, but she was just copying scriptures, what kind of temper could she cultivate?Besides, which wife would ask the children to copy Buddhist scriptures all day long? Isn't it afraid that the temperament has not been cultivated, but the temperament has been changed first, and they want to become a monk?

Of course Mrs. Wang doesn't care about this, so what does it have to do with her?If it was possible, she would think that this lowly seed could become a monk early, and avoid dangling in front of her to be annoying, and she might have disputes with her Baoyu in the future.

Jia Xiaohuan raised her face, she was not as naive as she was at Jia Zheng's office just now, she just said calmly: "Madam, please wait for a while, I have to go to Rongqing Hall to greet the old lady, and please greet the old lady later." Later, I will copy the Buddhist scriptures for my wife." He had a plan in mind, and told Wang to wait, it would be strange if she could still see the young master today.

When the grandson went to pay his respects to the grandmother, Mrs. Wang naturally did not dare to stop her, so she responded magnanimously right away.However, in order to prevent Jia Huan from sneaking away or something, he even asked Jin Chuan'er, the maid beside him, to follow.In name, it was said that he was afraid that my brother would be inconvenient if something happened on the road.

"Brother Huan, you are really courageous today. Did you take some wrong medicine this time when you were sick? I saw it. My wife just asked someone to fetch the thickest Buddhist scriptures. Think about it." It was prepared for you." Jin Chuan'er walked beside Jia Huan, but she was half a body ahead of him, and her tone of voice was quite casual, without much respect.

Seeing that Jia Huan just buried her head in her own way and ignored her, she became more lively, and said: "You have played back your prestige today, and you will not talk about your own suffering later, and you will not think about Aunt Zhao. Think? At this moment, she is still kneeling there, and I don’t know when the wife will scream. Even if she screams, she still doesn’t know what punishment she will suffer next. Tsk tsk..."

After hearing this, Jia Xiaohuan glanced at her just now, but still ignored her.If the servant girl's tone of speech hadn't been so gloating, he might have been grateful, but it's a pity... Thinking of his mother, Aunt Zhao, he couldn't help clenching his fists.

Walking from Mrs. Wang's yard to Rongqing Hall, Jia Xiaohuan passed through the east and west corner gates on the back porch, and passed the yards of Grandma Zhu Li Wan and Lan Geer.In the past, he had been to this place a few times, all to find Brother Lang to play.

After exiting the Xijiao Gate, there is a wide north-south road. The north side of the road is a large screen wall with flour and oil, and the south side is three small buildings that are upside down.

Jia Lian's yard is behind the Fenyou Dayingbi in the north.Because there is a tigress in this place, and there are no playmates of similar age, so although he has lived in Rongguo Mansion for more than ten years, he has never set foot in it.

The three buildings in the south will be the residences of those sisters in the future, but they are still empty.Of these three huts, Jia Xiaohuan had set foot in one of them, but the owner of that hut was not his sister.

Going forward is an east-west corridor, and Jiamu's Rongqing hall is already in sight.
