Rebirth of the third master of the ring of the Red Chamber

After breakfast the next day, Jia Huan and the third prince went to the study together.The two sat facing each other, each spreading out a copy of "Lunheng".

The third prince was not in a hurry to teach, and said casually, "I heard that you went to Xunfang Pavilion with Lao Wu last night, and helped him catch an assassin?"

"Well, it's a pity that the good Yanwu was messed up." Jia Huan took a stack of rice paper as a spare, and spread out the copybook, quite absent-minded.

The smile in the eyes of the third prince faded away, and his tone sank slightly, "Huan'er, you have just turned 13 years old. There is no benefit in experiencing love affairs prematurely. On the contrary, it will damage your bones and consume your energy, which will cause endless harm. How many times have you seen?" Geniuses are all about femininity..."

Seeing that he was eloquent, Jia Huan quickly waved his hands, "You don't need to tell me these big truths, I'm not interested in women. I'm still a baby, I can't be more pure. I'm just going to see something new. Forget it, don’t think about it.”

The third prince was stunned for a moment, a slight smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he froze at the boy's next sentence.

"I have to be masculine."

Xiao Ze, who was guarding the door, coughed violently, which awakened the third prince from his shock, and said in a deep voice, "Then you should stay away from the fifth child! He likes to play with young and young Ai's family son the most. It’s so good, I wish I could hold it up to the sky, when I get tired of it, I hate it in every possible way, and throw it away like a shoe..."

"Come on, stop talking, I'm not interested in him at all! I don't like rough guys, and besides, he's a lunatic." Jia Huan made a thankful and insensitive expression.

The third prince forcibly suppressed his chaotic mood, poured a little water into the inkstone, rubbed the ink slowly, and sighed after a while, "You just need to know how to measure. Regardless of male sex or female sex, don't touch it now, let alone indulge in it. Let's talk after the imperial examination." Hua Luo felt that his request was a little too much, looking at the noble children in Beijing, who had passed the sixteenth and had not experienced personnel affairs, and they might even have several wives and concubines!If he wanted to change his words again, he didn't want to, so he just squeezed the ink stick tightly.

"Well, I'm a man of integrity. I would rather lack than abuse." Jia Huan nodded, picked up a pen and began to practice calligraphy, and asked casually after a while, "Do you like men?"

The third prince was stunned for a moment, and said frankly, "I don't like it. The matter of Longyang is against human relations, and the right way is the intercourse of yin and yang."

The last stroke was too heavy, and the thick black ink dots smeared and ruined the good calligraphy. Jia Huan rubbed it up and threw it away expressionlessly, and took out another one to continue.

There was no sound in the study.

Consciously making friends with Jia Huan, the Fifth Prince stopped him on his way from school from time to time and took him to play everywhere.Jia Huan was impatient with a quiet and stable life, and would always agree seven or eight times out of ten, and the two gradually became acquainted.

The servants of Jia's mansion saw that the Third Lord Huan had not only climbed up to the Third Prince, but also had a close personal relationship with the Fifth Prince, so he was very careful with him. If there were any good things, they would send them to the small courtyard without orders from the superiors, but when they came, they would not If he dared to enter, he just stood at the gate of the courtyard and called the little auspicious Nanny Song to send someone to carry it.

Aunt Zhao seldom stepped out of the small courtyard, and when she came out, she would greet each other with a grand occasion. The servants knelt and kowtowed to meet each other, and Aunt Zhao yelled happily one by one. How respectful and flattering her attitude was Flattery.

After taking the antidote, Wang Xifeng's festered hands healed quickly, but in just half a month, they were back to normal without leaving even a trace of scar.However, she was not happy in her heart, and she was even more afraid of opposing Jia Huan.To let you die is to die, to let you live to be alive, the young man's methods are really unpredictable.

Jia Baoyu had admired the third prince for a long time, but he suffered from the fact that the other party was indifferent and superior, so he always had no chance to get close.Seeing Jia Huan accompanying him every day, talking about poetry, painting, and admiring landscape flowers, I don't know how happy it is, but I am envious of the chicken-skinned and white-haired old man all day long. read together.

Mother Jia couldn't help but be moved.

I don't know how Jia Huan negotiated with the third prince. After five days of reading, he still had two days off. It was Xiumu's turn. Before Jia Huan went out to play, Jia's mother hurriedly asked him to come to the main courtyard.

"Why did the old lady call me here?" Jia Huan asked straight to the point without waiting to sit down.The members of the Jia family are all about profit, and they will never think of him if there is no benefit.

Mother Jia suppressed her hatred and said with a smile, "Brother Huan, you also know that Mr. Ji is seriously ill and has not taught for three or four days. Baoyu is also the wife and brother of the prince after all. Can you send a letter to the prince? Let him discipline him for a few days, just don't ask Baoyu to delay his homework, and come back after Mr. Ji recovers from his illness."

She had already received a letter from Yuanchun, knowing that the prince rejected the two concubines' direct younger brothers and only accepted Jia Huan, which shows that he values ​​Jia Huan very much.If Jia Huan is willing to speak, Baoyu still has a chance.Entering the palace, with Baoyu's talent, it is not difficult to win the favor of the prince.

Jia Huan laughed, and nodded quite simply, "Sure, I'll tell the prince. Whether you agree or not is up to the prince."

Mother Jia was afraid that he would be perfunctory, and was about to speak to persuade her again, when someone from outside sent a message, "I would like to inform the third master, Prince Jin has sent a name card, please come to his house as a guest."

Jia Huan held his forehead with a pained expression.Every rest day, this person always holds a poetry meeting to trap him, in the name of making him more ink-scented and bookish, but in fact he is afraid that he will go out and fool around with the fifth prince.But those so-called literati are really sour and pretentious. A few words with them can suffocate tens of millions of brain cells.

In the final analysis, his character does not match that of a literati at all.

But Jia's mother showed joy and said eagerly, "It's better to hit the sun than to choose a day. You can take Baoyu with you, so that the prince can take the school exam in person."

Baoyu is a talker, and he likes to recite poems and make conversations, so it's easy to take him with him.Thinking of this, Jia Huan immediately nodded.

Jia Mu was overjoyed and hurriedly sent someone to call Baoyu.It took less than half an hour to see him rushing over in a hurry. He was extremely well-groomed, wearing a purple gold crown with hair inlaid on his head, his eyebrows were tied with two dragons grabbing gold and wiping his forehead, and he was wearing a two-color gold hundred Die wears red arrow sleeves with flowers, is tied with multicolored silk and knotted with long spikes, and is covered with azurite and flowered eight groups of Japanese forged fringe jackets. On the feet are small green satin powder-soled court boots.It's no different from the romantic and noble son in the book who said "the natural coquettishness is all on the brows, and all kinds of emotions in his life are piled up in the corners of his eyes".

Jia Huan smiled with interest.

Jia Mu looked him up and down, inside and out, said yes repeatedly, explained a few words of attention to the rules, and then urged the two to go out.

A few low tables were set up in the back garden of Prince Jin's Mansion, with soft cushions on the floor, and several copper stoves were set up around them to burn light incense. Scholars from [-]s and [-]s sat on the ground and talked freely. .Surrounded by curling music, the gentle breeze blows away all the summer heat in July.

The third prince sat at the head and talked with a scribe, with a smile on his face, but his eyes were extremely cold.

"My lord, Mr. Huan is here." Cao Yongli bowed and replied.

Layers of warmth radiated from his cold eyes, the Third Prince immediately got up, walked straight to the main entrance to meet him, held the young man's slender fingertips and smiled, "You are here, I thought you would pretend to be sick to fool me today, so I just Fight against you directly."

Jia Baoyu had never seen the Prince of Jin laugh so enthusiastically, and even made half-vulgar jokes, so he stood there blankly and forgot to salute.

"Jia Baoyu, you know him." Jia Huan pouted at the boy beside him.

Only then did the third prince notice the gorgeous Jia Baoyu, and frowned slightly.

Baoyu came back and became closer to the third prince, and hurriedly cupped his hands and smiled, "Baoyu has seen brother-in-law. I have admired brother-in-law for a long time, and today I finally see him. Baoyu is so happy." After saying this, his cheeks flushed slightly , very shy.

As expected of Jia Baoyu, the sage of love, what he said was like a confession.Jia Huan tilted his head and suppressed a smile, and waited for his breath to stabilize before he said, "When I went out, I happened to meet my brother, so I brought him here on my own initiative. You won't blame me, will you?"

"Where, how can I be willing to blame you? Everyone is here, let's go in quickly." The third prince smiled lightly, covered the soft dimple on the back of the young man's neck with his big palm, and gently pinched it.

After the three sat down, the topic continued, from history to current politics, and from current politics to customs, and finally put on a case to fight for poetic talent, the atmosphere was very enthusiastic.

Baoyu was talented and gentle, and soon became one with this group of scribes, and became the focus of everyone when he wrote poems.Only Jia Huan didn't say a word from the beginning to the end. After eating the cakes, he ate candied fruit, and after eating the candied fruit, he drank sour plum soup, and his mouth never stopped.Although everyone didn't show it on the surface, they were very contemptuous in their hearts.

The third prince supported his forehead, his expression was very helpless, but he turned back and asked the maid to bring more pastries and candied fruit, lest he could not eat enough.

At the same time, the fifth prince went to Jia's mansion to find someone, and after hearing what the concierge told him, he rode his horse to Prince Jin's mansion, but was stopped by Xiao Ze who had already given his orders, and refused to let him in.

The fifth prince smiled coldly at Xiao Ze, went straight to the back door of the palace, jumped onto the wall and shouted, "Huan'er, come out quickly! What are you doing sour poetry, why don't you play with me! Huan'er, you won't forget the day before yesterday! Let's make an agreement..."

He had a loud voice, and after entering the back door, he went directly to the back garden without any barriers, which attracted everyone to look up, and stunned to find his burly figure through the lush trees.

The shouts continued endlessly, and each one was louder than the other.

The third prince's happy expression was replaced by anger.

Jia Huan didn't seem to notice it, he patted the table and laughed, got up and left after laughing.

"Where are you going?" The Third Prince grabbed his wrist forcefully, his tone cold.

"Going to the dog fight, I bet heavily. I might make a lot of money in the match today." Jia Huan broke free from his restraint, patted the pastry crumbs on the skirt of his clothes, smoothed the folds of the hem, and flattered him, "Come back and give You get a bonus, and this answer will never be less than 100 taels."

The third prince was neither smiling nor not, and personally sent him to the back door, squeezed his ears and told him, "Dog fighting is fine, but you can't go to the Fengyue place, and you can't drink alcohol. If you are late for morning class tomorrow, give me twenty slaps." Hua Luo gave the Fifth Prince a hard look on the wall.

The fifth prince smiled brightly, and jokingly said, "Huan'er, have you suffered? I said earlier that you are not with this bunch of sour scholars. Let's go, let's go happily!"

If he had a bow in his hand, the third prince wished he could shoot his brother down, but unfortunately he didn't, so he could only watch the boy push the door, jump on the horse and sit in front of his brother, and when the boy waved goodbye Jiyue's smile.

After watching the two of them disappear around the corner, the Third Prince turned around with a very gloomy expression.

Who in Daqing doesn't know that the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince are not compatible?This Jia Huan left openly with the Fifth Prince at the residence of the Third Prince, she really doesn't know how to flatter her!Seeing that the always indifferent Third Prince couldn't hide his anger, everyone opened their mouths to criticize Jia Huan, and another said with a sneer, "I heard from Mr. Ji the day before yesterday that the concubine of the Jia family is eager for quick success and quick profit, and is extremely vulgar. Only after seeing him today do I know that it is true. Listen. It is said that he only studies for the middle school. He devotes all his attention to studying traditional Chinese and Chinese. He has never even learned the rhythm. When he has free time, he hangs out with a bunch of dudes and has fun. Why does the prince bother to teach such a person? Maybe one day it will tarnish the name of the prince."

After hearing this, Baoyu felt inexplicably happy.

Huan'er can read as much as he likes, and the third prince never thinks he is vulgar, but is always moved by his determination to "aim at the goal and overcome all difficulties and move forward bravely".Let him come to the literary conference, not to change him, but to find an excuse to keep him by my side.If Huan'er really becomes no different from ordinary people, he will no longer be Huan'er in his heart. He loves him, helps him, and protects him, and if it's too late, how can he endure others' criticism of him?

The third prince's dark face became even more icy, he threw the teacup in his hand, stared at the other party and scolded, "Shut up! Huan'er is the king's savior, I don't allow you to talk about it! If you don't like it, leave immediately!"

It was a rare time for Prince Jin to be furious. The horrified people were so frightened that they knelt at his feet to confess their crimes.

Knowing that he was out of control, the third prince adjusted his breathing slightly, calmed down and said, "Get up. Without Huaner, this king would not be sitting here to talk to you today. No matter what he looks like, in my heart Alright. Let me hear you say no to him in the future, don't blame me for being merciless."

Everyone wiped off the cold sweat on their foreheads, thanked each other, and secretly regretted that they had forgotten the fact that Jia Huan had saved the prince. Seeing that the prince defended such an idiot, the previous resentment was gradually replaced by admiration.

As expected of the virtuous king of Daqing, he really values ​​love and righteousness.

After sitting down, the atmosphere became visibly stagnant. With a lively mind, he looked at Baoyu with a pale face, and said with a smile, "I heard that Mr. Jia was born with jade in his mouth. I'm going to have the good fortune to see this famous psychic today." Baoyu?"

The rest of the people quickly agreed, looking forward.

Baoyu was frightened by the sudden change of face of the third prince, and his mind was a little confused. He completely forgot Jiamu's order not to let Baoyu show off his psychic spirit, and untied the colorful silk sash and handed it to the third prince.

The third prince glanced at it for a few moments before handing it to the person beside him, finally a faint smile appeared on the corner of his cold mouth.Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and passed them around to watch one by one. Some pointed at the sun to appreciate it, some put it in their palms to play, and some put it into the cup to appreciate the colorful divine light, and they praised it again and again.

The atmosphere was warm again.

Baoyu felt that she had become the focus of everyone's attention again. After getting back the psychic jade, she was quite complacent. She moved to the third prince's side, pulled his sleeve and laughed, "Brother-in-law, is the Suhe incense burning in your copper furnace? It tastes good." It is good, but not long-lasting and intoxicating. Let me tell you a secret method, put two drops of laurel wine on it before burning, to ensure that the fragrance will linger for three days." Then he blinked his bright eyes.

The third prince's mind has long been far away, either because he is worried that Huan'er will be taken advantage of if he gets too close to Lao Wu; he is also worried that he will step into the land of fireworks because he is yin and yang; he is also worried that he will drink too much and hurt his body. , and Jia Baoyu was whispering non-stop in his ear, and when he looked up, he saw his cheeks were reddish and his eyes were moist, with a charming and foolish attitude.

If this image is put on a daughter, it is quite flattering, but on a man, it is a bit nondescript and repulsive, what's more, it will arouse intimacy in others.It's not like Huan'er, although the description is more beautiful, but the beauty is sharp and glaring, just one glance makes people's heart jump, and they shy away.No one can walk into his heart unless he turns his heart and accepts it sincerely.

Thinking that he had already occupied a place in the young man's heart, the Third Prince smiled softly, and thinking of the fifth child's stalking and sneering, which made Huan'er more and more familiar with him, and he might pass him by one day, and suddenly felt extremely depressed and restless. , even more impatient to listen to Jia Baoyu's experience in making incense, he said in a deep voice, "This king is not interested in these playthings. This king almost forgot that Concubine Jia is suffering from a serious illness, and her illness is difficult to recover. As soon as you come, go Let's take a look." The words made people take him down, ignoring his own wishes.

Baoyu was stared stiffly by Prince Jin Senhan's eyes, he went to Jia Yuanchun's room in a daze, and sat down for a long time before he could regain his senses, thinking to himself: It is said that being with a king is like being with a tiger, this is really true .In just one hour, I forgot how many times I was frightened.Unlike Jia Huan, sitting next to the prince, eating and drinking is relaxing and comfortable, like entering a house.

Thinking of this, it is hard to hide the frustration on the face.
