The Ring of the Red Chamber and the Nine Heavens

Jia Huan's busy life finally came to an end. In his spare time, he would occasionally think of that encounter with that person. Time passed quietly, and it turned out that half a year had passed.

One day, Jia Zheng asked the servant to come back and say that an important official document he wrote last night was left at home, and it must be used today, and others might not be safe, so it is best to ask Jia Huan or Jia Baoyu to find time to send a trip.

Ever since Jia Baoyu failed the childbirth examination, now he was afraid of seeing Jia Zheng like a mouse avoiding a cat, so he immediately claimed to have a headache and asked Jia Huan to run this trip.As for Jia Huan, there was nothing to do. Anyway, I was tired from reading, so I just went out for a walk to relax, so I agreed, and went to Jia Zheng's study room, found the official document Jia Zheng said, and After Jia Mu said a word, she went out, got into a small sedan chair, and went to the yamen of the Ministry of Industry to deliver official documents.

Jia Huan asked the yamen servant at the gate to pass the word to go in, and told Jia Zheng to come out to get the official document. Out of curiosity, he looked up at the gate of the Ministry of Industry and the characteristics of the building.

Jia Huan sighed inwardly, the yamen of the Ministry of Industry was really magnificent, indeed it was one of the six ancient ministries, although their functions were not the same, it was roughly equivalent to the modern Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Land and Resources, Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, Ministry of Water Conservancy, etc. Several major central departments such as the Ministry of Finance are integrated into one, and they are also in charge of mechanical and utensil manufacturing projects. However, any larger projects such as labor costs exceeding 50 taels and material prices exceeding 200 taels must be reported to the emperor for approval.Speaking of which, the old emperor is really busy...

Just as Jia Huan was lost in thought, he suddenly saw horseshoes flying dust in front of him.Looking again, the team of people and horses was extremely fast, and Suhu could already see that the soldiers in military uniforms and holding dragon flags were driving towards the front. Among them, the yellow flag was in the middle, blue, red, black, and white. The dragon flags of various colors are surrounded by four sides, and each flag is composed of six sergeants dressed in uniforms of the same color as the flag, all of them are tall, tall and heroic.

Followed by soldiers holding banners, halberd cloaks, ge cloaks, ceremonial cloaks, Yubao buildings, green square umbrellas, green small square fans, and green miscellaneous flower fans, all of them are angry horses in fresh clothes. .Colorful flags fluttered in the wind, and stars surrounded a gilded canopy carriage pulled by four horses like the moon.

This style is great!Which big man is on tour?Jia Huan knew that when the emperor travels, he travels in six carriages, while ordinary officials use two carriages or official sedan chairs. The one who came here has four carriages, which is above the level of the county king.

Jia Huan, who had attracted his attention, was thinking about it secretly, but unexpectedly, the team of people came looking at the gate of the Ministry of Industry.A sergeant at the front came first with his horse, and without dismounting, he directly ordered to the yamen servants at the gate: "King Qin came to the Ministry of Industry for inspection, and the Minister of the Ministry of Industry will welcome you."

The yamen officials repeatedly agreed, and two yamen officials hurriedly stepped inside to report.The yamen official, who was still talking to Jia Huan and talking in a friendly manner, hurriedly pulled Jia Huan aside, and said, "Master Jia's family, get out of the way! There is a special person here today! Your father can't come out!"

Jia Huan hid under the shade of a big tree outside the gate with great insight, and waited for the important person in the carriage to leave before handing over the official document to Jia Zheng.After a while, I saw a senior official wearing an official hat and a scarlet official robe leading a large number of officials to come out of the door quickly, walked to the carriage in three steps and two steps, and bowed respectfully , humbly said: "I don't know that His Royal Highness King Qin will come in person, so please forgive me for being far away."

Jia Huan had been to the Ministry of Industry a few times, and he recognized the speaker as Yan Liang, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, but he had never spoken to him, which is also reasonable.

After Yan Liang finished speaking, a group of officials behind him bowed their backs like wheat waves blown by the wind, and said in unison: "Greetings to the lord. The lord is a thousand years old."

The voice of the person in the carriage was clear, yet majestic, and said: "Everyone, excuse me. Xiao Wang is here today because of the breach of the Cheng'an River embankment. The victims of the disaster were displaced. In order to relieve the worries of the emperor, Xiao Wang took it himself. The mission is to resolve this matter within one month, so that the victims can return to their hometowns. Since the matter is urgent, I will discuss it with you before I can notify you in the future.”

Yan Liang fawningly stretched out his hand in front of the sedan chair to help the prince get out of the sedan chair, but the prince in the car lightly waved his hand away, got out of the carriage, and said: "Xiao Wang is going to work with you adults in the Ministry of Industry from now on, there is no need to do this Thank you very much."

The prince got out of the carriage. Under the bright morning light, the golden king hat with gold hairpin tassels and golden wings on his head was shining brightly yellow. The gemstone belt, the tall figure is as tall and straight as bamboo in summer.His eyebrows are like distant mountains, his eyes are like bright stars, his extraordinary appearance and awe-free aura perfectly interpret the connotation of the boa robe "no magnificence, no beauty, no prestige".

If it was someone else, Jia Huan would definitely praise "What a beautiful person!"

But, how is it... him?

Jia Huan met him twice, and he was always dressed in casual clothes. Therefore, although Jia Huan guessed that he was noble, he did not expect that he was the King of Qin who was admired by all the people in the world.

Jia Huan also occasionally heard people talk about the Tian family, and knew that there are more than ten princes in the current emperor, but there are only two direct princes who were descended from the first Xiaoxian empress, one is the prince of the East Palace, and the other is the prince of the East Palace. The King of Qin, therefore, the King of Qin is naturally much more noble than the other concubine princes, and the standards of living and traveling are all inferior to the prince, which is really the most honorable.

Yan Liang, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, led the way, and King Qin followed him steadily towards the lobby of the Ministry of Industry with his long legs. Behind him was a group of people, who should be followed by King Qin's cronies and guards, most of whom were holding knives. Guarded.Behind them were the officials from the Ministry of Industry, including Jia Zheng, who dared not even raise his eyes under the majesty of the King of Qin, so he didn't notice Jia Huan who was watching this scene from the shade of the trees outside the gate.

On the contrary, King Qin caught a glimpse of Jia Huan under the tree, paused in his footsteps, seemed to be thinking, and then returned to his calm face.Then, he entered the Ministry of Industry, turned around the screen wall, and there was no one there anymore.

Jia Huan couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, and then thought: I don't know how long it will be before Jia Zheng can come out when the King of Qin arrives suddenly, and I have been standing here waiting, I don't know how long I have to wait, my stomach is starving in vain, It's better to go home first.

But he didn't dare to hand over the important official documents to the boys, so Jia Huan left a boy waiting here, and left a message to Jia Zheng saying that it was already noon, and because he didn't know how long he would have to wait, he went home to wait. with.If the master still needs to use it urgently, it's okay for him to make another trip.

Jia Huan happened to meet Jia Lian after returning to the mansion in a dull mood.Jia Lian was not busy today, so he took Jia Huan to his room for a chat.

Because it was meal time, Wang Xifeng saw that the two brothers were chatting excitedly, so she stayed with Jia Huan to have lunch together.

During the meal, Jia Huan's heart suddenly moved. This Jia Lian walked among the big families every day and had a lot of knowledge, so it's better to inquire about him.

Jia Huan then began to compliment Jia Lian on the opportunity to change in the world and know everything, which made Jia Lian laugh again and again with a smug look on his face.

Then Jia Huan intentionally or unintentionally asked Jia Lian for some court affairs, especially about King Qin.Finally, he opened Jia Lian's chatterbox as he wished. From Jia Lian's mouth, he learned that King Qin was seventeen years old and married Su Miaozhen, the niece of the most beloved concubine Hui. The appearance of the country.

Speaking of beauties who are overwhelmed by the country and the city, Jia Lian's eyes light up and his face looks salivating, which is also a common problem of men.Wang Xifeng, who was on the side, gave food to Jia Lian and Jia Huan from time to time. Seeing his wretched appearance, he poked him on the forehead and cursed: "You are always so greedy! When you talk about the beauty of the country, your eyes The wife is as green as a wolf! If it is a maid, it is worthless, no matter how much it costs, it is good to buy it for the men to have fun. But you dare to hope for a princess?"

Jia Lian giggled and said, "How dare I? It's just for nothing."

Wang Xifeng was just pretending to be generous. If the other party was really a maid, would she be willing to bring the misfortune home?Normally, Jia Huan would also help and make fun of him, but today he is totally out of the mood.

After dinner, Jia Huan left after chatting a few more gossips.

Back in his house, Jia Huan opened an exquisite hexagonal box of colorful brocade Ruyi placed on the bookshelf, took out the two pieces of jade, looked at them for a while, and thought: Originally, I was thinking of not being rewarded for nothing. It seems that there is no need to return the jade that he got for nothing that day.He might have forgotten what happened that day.That's right, they are pampered and pampered every day. Wherever they go, they will be bumped into by a group of people. When they return to the palace, they will be accompanied by beautiful women. How can they remember such a passer-by like me?Furthermore, for a person like him, what is a thousand 800 taels of silver?I went to pay him back. If he doesn't remember, he might think that I was trying to make friends with him on purpose, which would make people look down on me.Let it be.

Jia Huan frowned, and threw the two pieces of jade back into the box, stuffing them into the innermost corner of a big mahogany box.

Don't ever have anything to do with or love him again.

The two are forgotten in the rivers and lakes, very good, very good.

----------Dividing line----------

time flies.

On this day, Jia Huan and Daiyu were having fun together at Brother Yan and Sister Miao. The two little dolls had grown up a lot, and there were a pair of round eyes like purple grapes on their white and round chubby faces. , When teased by others, it makes a "crack" laugh, which is very cute.

Daiyu held up the silver nine chain rings in her hand to Brother Yan's eyes, and it really caught the attention of Brother Yan who was playing with a big Buddha's hand.I saw him sticking out his round buttocks, crawling over and grabbing with his hands, while Daiyu backed away with a chuckle, Brother Yan had no choice but to lift his chubby arms like lotus root joints higher. It was full of longing, and it was so anxious that it made a "babbling" sound in its mouth.

Jia Huan patted his thigh and laughed, "Teasing him a few more times, I'm afraid he will be so anxious to ask for it."

Daiyu's lips raised a pair of dimples, and said: "Brother Yan is nine months old. I heard from my father that I started talking at nine months, and I was also teased by my mother in this way."

Speaking of her deceased mother, Daiyu felt a little dejected, and she couldn't help but drop her hands. She was caught by the impatient brother Yan and took the nine chains away, but Daiyu was so surprised that she forgot to go to the heart, and said repeatedly "Huan'er, look at Brother Yan's hands and feet! He's not as frail as you."

Jia Huan sneered and said, "Who is weak? I'm just thin, but my body is very strong. The second elder brother still suffers from colds twice a year. I haven't taken any medicine this year, so I'm not like you. Take medicine as food."

Daiyu stuck out her tongue and said jokingly: "That was before, I am much better now, thank you too, great doctor."

Jia Huan quickly said, "Shh, I told you not to let others know."

Just at this time, Zijuan walked quickly, although she smiled slightly, but her face was a little stiff, and said: "Girl, the old lady asked you to go over, saying that the uncle in Yangzhou has a letter from home."

After hearing this, Daiyu got up quickly and followed Zijuan to Jiamu's upper room.

Jia Huan pondered: The old lady suddenly asked Sister Lin to go?For the letter from my uncle in Yangzhou?Isn't that unusual in normal times?Why is there something wrong with the atmosphere today?My God, it couldn't be Lin Ruhai, could it?
