Grand View Garden Chronicle

Jia Huan was nine years old, the bastard son of Jia Zheng, the second master of the Rongguo Mansion.Summer and autumn alternated, and the weather turned cooler in the evening. Jia Huan played football with the boys in the outer courtyard of the West Mansion and messed around.His mother, Aunt Zhao, suddenly fell to the ground in her own room, foaming at the mouth and rolling her eyes, scaring the maid in her room to rush to report to Mrs. Wang, but Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue, Feng, and others arrived By then, she was out of breath.Later, Jia Huan was dragged into the house by his mother-in-law, and when she saw this, she rushed to see her. His mother's body was half cold, so she couldn't care about his crying.Jia Tanchun, Jia Huan's older sister, cried for a while, then stopped her grief and hugged Jia Huan to comfort her.

Fuzhong Ziyun: It's not that we don't report, the time has not yet come!

Although Mrs. Jia Muwang always hated Aunt Zhao as a person, she couldn't help feeling sad when she saw her sudden death and pitied her young son.Several people in charge sent people to send Aunt Zhao's body to Shuiyue Nunnery wrapped in make-up, and buried it quietly; at the same time, they ordered Jia Lian to appease her family and go to the government to make a record; I came to the doctor and said it was a sudden death!The original messengers in Aunt Zhao's courtyard were dismissed, and the courtyard was cleaned and redistributed by Sister Feng, needless to say.After discussing with Mrs. Wang in the evening, Jia Zheng temporarily ordered Aunt Zhou to take care of Jia Huan for two days, and Tanchun also temporarily moved to his hospital to accompany him.A few days later, he ordered Jia Huan to recognize Aunt Zhou as his mother. The Zhou family was quiet and virtuous, and had no children, so everyone was satisfied.

One night, when the rain was drizzling, Aunt Zhou rushed to Mrs. Wang's place. Mrs. Wang was having dinner with the girls. Seeing her panicked expression, she asked what happened.Zhou said, "Huan'er is gone. Tomorrow is the middle of the month. I ordered Zhou Fu to wait outside the school early. The students left after school and waited for Huan'er to come out. I went inside to ask and tell No one was staying in the school, so Zhou Fu rushed to report. Madam, please let someone find it quickly." Mrs. Wang said, "Yu Chuan'er, tell Second Grandma quickly, so someone can find it."Tan Chun sat down with Aunt Zhou and asked why, Zhou said, "Since the master and wife ordered me to raise him, I dare not neglect! I have no children, so I treat him as my own. I feel sorry for him when he is young. In such a painful situation, I will eat after he eats, and I will sleep after he sleeps." Before he could finish speaking, he choked up and bowed his head, unable to speak.Everyone hurriedly persuaded and comforted them, only saying that the children's family doesn't remember things and loves to play, so nothing will happen.

Talking about Jia Huan, she was mocked by the children in the school during the lunch break: "Your mother has done too many bad things, so Lord Yan called her to go" and so on.So he got angry and got into a fight with them, but he was beaten because there were so many people on the other side.In Jia's school, Jia Dairu went to study Zhengyamen on his own, and stayed with Jia Rui to supervise the school. This Jia Rui had no fame and only donated the name of a scholar. Never mind.Jia Huan felt aggrieved, and no one told him, so he jumped out from the low wall next to the toilet and played truant.Jia Huan wandered from Rongning Street to Changjie Street, from the Gonghou Wangfu in the east to the Prison Temple in the west, there were taverns, cloth shops, food shops, money shops, brothels... everything, it was a very lively place in Beijing.There are people coming and going on the street, hawkers shuttle among them, and small stalls on the side sell all kinds of food, linen and cloth, antiques, gold and silver jewelry. It is really a prosperous and stable scene.Jia Huan had no money in his pocket, so he wandered around until night, screaming with hunger, but still didn't want to go home, so he sat outside a corner tavern, smelling the smell of meat, but he could only look inside helplessly.

There were only six or seven tables in the tavern, with four or five guests sitting among them.Mr. Wu, whose name is Yingfu, was sitting in this tavern with his daughter eating wine, when he suddenly saw a child looking in, the white robe he was wearing was dirty, his forehead was red, he looked pitiful.So he beckoned him to come and sit down to eat, and asked "what's your name and where do you live", "my name is Jia Huan, and I live in Rongguo Mansion on Rongning Street", "why don't you go back", Jia Huan hesitated After a while, he said "I don't want to go back".Master Wu thought that he must have been bullied, so he sent him back after dinner, and called out, "Old brother, let's have another bowl of noodles."The old man in the store came out with a bowl of noodles after a while, and said, "Wu Juren is kind, this bowl of noodles is a gift from the little old man", and thanked him.It turns out that Mr. Wu is now living in a small courtyard in the south of the city. He was also the son of a wealthy family before, but later his family fell into decline. His wife died early and left behind a daughter. Although he won the election, he has a famous Zhuangzi who just wanders around. , never served as an official.

Although Jia Huan is young, he also knows what "juren" is.Kuang Na, Mr. Wu was very kind to himself, so he imitated the etiquette of apprenticeship at school, kneeling down and saying, "Master, please accept me as an apprentice."Master Wu was very surprised, he was silent for a while and said, "Go home and think about it first, tell the adults about this, and come here tomorrow", Jia Huan replied, and went home by himself.
