The Ring of the Red Chamber and the Nine Heavens

For a while, the clouds rested and the rain closed, and the two of them confessed to each other their lovesickness for more than ten days.

Qi Qian held Jia Huan loosely in his arms with one arm, and inserted his slender fingers into his thick black hair with the other hand, fiddled with the baby's lips as if he was still unfinished and provocative. Scalp hair roots, said: "Let's not leave tonight."

Jia Huan raised his head and looked at his handsome face, with the characteristic lazy and charming expression after the affair, how could he be willing to leave, but since Jia Baoyu came back from the prison, Jia's mother and others were afraid that these nephews would go out again If they caused trouble, they all ordered the maids and servants to keep a close eye on the brothers, and if there was anything wrong, they must report it.Although Jia Huan coaxed the two deacon maids in his room to help cover him, he still felt a little guilty about not returning home at night, so he could only cruelly say, "It's okay to go back later, but I dare not not come back all night. In case the old man finds out, You will be beaten."

Qi Qian snorted and said, "Dare he?"

Jia Huan gave a soft "tsk" and said, "Why doesn't he dare? Isn't it natural for me to beat my son? I dare not let him know about our relationship."

Qi Qian bit Jia Huan's lips lightly, and said: "So what if he knows?"

Jia Huan glared at him and said, "How dare you?"

For the time being, Jia Huan doesn't want his family to know about his relationship with Qi Qian, for fear of being underestimated.

Obviously, this topic is not suitable for further discussion, so Qi Qian got up and brought over an agarwood openwork Luan pattern box inlaid with gold and jade, and handed it to Jia Huan.

Jia Huan said inexplicably, "What?"

Qi Qian said with a smug look on his face, "It was rewarded by my father and son before, please keep it for me."

When Jia Huan opened it, he was almost blinded. There were more than ten sapphires inside, each of which was the size of a thumbnail. The faint blue light illuminated the dark room like a lamp was lit. The face is illuminated.

Jia Huan said, "Why do you give it to me? There's still so much, and I don't need to light the lights at home in the future, and the whole ghost blows the lights!"

Qi Qian patted Jia Huan on the head, and said angrily, "How did you say that? This kind of sapphire looks good on a hat or as a belt. The light fur belt and the elegant clothes are just right for my Huaner. "

Jia Huan picked up a sapphire, looked it close to his eyes, and exclaimed: "The sapphires are so big, should they cost 1 taels of silver?"

Qi Qian smiled and said: "Almost. But there is no place to buy silver. This is specially for the royal family. This size, even the concubine in the palace, must be above the concubine, like your sister In that position, the ones that can land are less than half of this."

Jia Huan curled her lips and said, "Rare! I don't want it yet. If the smaller one is okay, I'm afraid my grandmother may not even have it. If I wear it, I'm sure someone will come to ask me to buy it." Where did you get it? What can I say about the things that the rich and have no place to buy outside? You should keep them and wear them yourself."

Qi Qian couldn't help sighing, and said, "Isn't this kind of thing just to please you? If you don't want it, it's not worth anything."

Jia Huan joked: "If you want to give it to me, I'll just smash it up and make it smaller. Don't blame me for ruining things."

Qi Qian had no choice but to put it away and said, "Keep it for you to use later."

Jia Huan didn't care about such extravagant things, instead he said: "It's okay to get me some food that I can't buy elsewhere, but it's okay to get people's eyes hurt, it will cause some trouble."

Qi Qian responded and said, "I'll give it to you tomorrow morning, there are plenty."

The two of them didn't talk anymore, they lay quietly, Jia Huan's hand was held in Qi Qian's palm, and now he looked up to see him, only to see Qi Qian's phoenix eyes narrowed, thin lips slightly pursed, as if I was thinking about something, so I asked: "What are you thinking about? You are so absorbed in thinking, you ignore me? If you ignore me, I will go back, and it happens to be sooner or later."

Qi Qian hurriedly pulled Jia Huan back and said, "Why are you ignoring you? I was thinking, Huan'er, the people in your family are too irritated to look at, and most of the grandmothers, aunts, uncles, aunts, brothers, sisters, and sisters-in-law are right." You may not be very good, you might as well go out and live by yourself, it will be easier for us to meet each other, and besides, you don’t have to go to greet this one and that one every day, wasting the good time of studying, besides, my people and me I still can’t feel the pain, but I’m telling others to do this and that, even if I want to make you feel more comfortable.”

Jia Huan frowned slightly, and said, "Separation? What can I do? It's my uncle. I'm afraid I'm going crazy if I want to separate the family. Isn't it procrastinating for so many years? I'm afraid he will have to wait for me. Grandma passed away, and that's possible."

Qi Qian leaned back and said firmly, "That's not necessarily the case."

As soon as Jia Huan heard the interest, he hurriedly asked, "What can you do?"

Qi Qian wrapped a lock of Jia Huan's hair around his fingers, and said slowly: "If your father is released, the family can share it, right? Speaking of which, we have been together for so long, and the old man has not enjoyed it at all." Good thing, this is so wrong! My father-in-law has been an official in the capital and has been cautious for decades, so it’s time to go outside and relax. How about being the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi? "Eating three hundred lychees a day, I will always be a Lingnan native" Even Layman Dongpo is willing, what do you think, Huaner?"

There was a layer of blush on Jia Huan's face, and at the same time his eyes rolled, and he said half angry and half happy: "Who is your father-in-law? Shameless!"

Qi Qian bullied him, threw Jia Huan onto the bed, and raised the corners of his lips, showing a sinister smile, and said, "Does Huan'er mean to let the facts speak for themselves? Well, let's implement it now." !"

Jia Huan fought with him for a while, and said, "Don't make any more moves, let's talk properly. Otherwise, I'll leave right away!"

Jia Huan was happy to hear Qi Qian's idea, but he frowned again and said, "If my father really goes to other provinces to become an official, this family will score points, and grandma can't stop it. However, whether this idea is good or not, the problem is that my mother So what should I do? Did she follow? She doesn't have a heart, and if she wants to leave me to take care of her, she won't be bullied to death by my aunt?"

Qi Qian twisted Jia Huan's face and said, "I don't ask your aunt to go?"

Jia Huan frowned tightly, and said: "It will be strange if she agrees!"

Qi Qian touched the bulge between his brows, and said: "Don't frown, make it look like a little old man! She won't? Huh, that's up to her! Leave it alone, I will If you have a suggestion, I will do it for you if you don’t ask you to worry about it. You can just study for the class and take the exam at ease. Also, "

Qi Qian pressed against Jia Huan's ear, whispering bewitchingly: "We won't meet again for a while, can we stay tonight?"

Jia Huan sat up in his arms, and slowly swept Qi Qian's slender and strong body with mocking and smiling eyes, stopped at the part below the waist pointingly, shook his head and said: "That's okay. Okay, but - I need to find a barbed wire or something to cover this thing so I can sleep, or in the middle of the night...in case..."

Qi Qian smiled lazily and said, "You don't have to worry at all, if you want to, I don't want to."

As he said that, Qi Qian pulled Jia Huan into his arms, kissed tenderly, and said, "The first time with Huan'er, how could it be so sloppy? Now, the time and place are wrong, no matter how I think about it endured."

Jia Huan said in his heart that it was impossible not to be sweet.

Qi Qian's charming eyes stared intently at Jia Huan, and only Jia Huan's shadow was in his dark pupils. He held Jia Huan's hand and pressed it to his face, saying, "You are the person I cherish the most, so, I want to give you the best, not only gems and clothing, but also the future life, I will do my best to make you happy."

Early the next morning, Qi Qian packed a big bag for Jia Huan and asked him to take it back.Jia Huan opened it and saw that there were all kinds of delicious snacks, such as dried cheese, pine nut candy, purple jade cake, bergamot cake, Bazhen ointment, and two bottles of Western wine, which made Jia Huan teary-eyed. Yes, the dry red that was often drunk in the previous life has become a rarity now.

Qi Qian knocked on Jia Huan's head and said: "You really don't like gems but you like these snacks. Come on, this is also for you. Dahongpao's tea, drink some tea if you have too many snacks to relieve your boredom. "

Jia Huan happily went back with a bunch of snacks in her arms, and it was only when she got back to Jia's mansion that she remembered that she had gone there specifically to confirm what Qi Pei said, but she had so much fun that she forgot to ask Qi Qian.Forget it, next time.

The atmosphere in Jia's mansion these days is extremely depressing. Although Jia Yuanchun has nothing to do with Princess Qin's case, the emperor has lost interest in her after that time. In addition, the kingdom of Silla, which borders the north, made a request for a good relationship from generation to generation, and offered a new gift. There were 30 beauties in Luo, which made the emperor Long Yan very happy. Among them, the two with the best colors were selected as Jieyu, who had long since thrown Jia Cairen behind his neck.The rest of the beauties of Silla were given to the princes, this time even the emperor's grandson Qi Pei got a share, and getting two beauties seemed to be regarded as a sign of adulthood.

Jia Yuanchun's falling out of favor screamed for a while, Mrs. Wang, mother and son fell into silence again. Jia Baoyu lived in the Jinyiwei prison for nearly a month. Later, Princess Qin had an accident, and Jia Huan and Qi Qian completely forgot about it. What happened, I didn't play tricks on him, I just told him to live in prison.However, even though Jia Baoyu didn’t suffer any abuse, he still acted like he had been frightened out of his wits. He helped him up and he stood up, helped him to sleep and he lay down, gave him a bowl, and he ate with his eyes straight Dazed for a moment, let alone go to study and take scientific exams, for Mrs. Wang, as long as he can return to his previous appearance, even if he is still a useless wimp, he will be Amitabha, so Mrs. Wang wipes tears all day long , and didn't have the heart to fight or fight with anyone, the momentum at home was getting lower and lower day by day, and even Mrs. Jia Shexing and Mrs. Jia Shexing stayed in Rongxi Hall and didn't leave.

This goes up and down, but Mrs. Jia Shexing's side is getting more and more prosperous day by day. Wang Xifeng is finally pregnant again, and now she is five or six months old, and her pregnancy is considered stable, and her belly is pointed. Standing outside, those daughter-in-laws who claimed to be experienced in childbirth all asserted that it must be a son, which made Wang Xifeng more happy and cautious, and simply ignored everything, only raising the baby in the house, and put the matter of the second wife's struggle Forget about it, and in my spare time, I also make some baby's bellyband, shoes and socks together with Hepinger. But it was a crushing defeat!

Now that Jia Amnesty has gradually grown up in Jia's mansion, he naturally wants to marry Yingchun to a good family.Although Yingchun is a concubine, she is also the only girl in the Dafang. If she is married well, the Dafang will also be respectable, right?Therefore, while Jia Amnesty was entrusting his colleagues and others to help make inquiries, Madam Xing also invited matchmakers to look at Zhang Luo. After several months of careful selection, there was still no very satisfied young man who was suitable for welcoming the spring.

In the end, it was Jia Huan who helped to introduce a man named Zhang Hengru who was in the scientific examination in the same year, but Jia She was somewhat willing.

This person's parents died early, and he only has one elder sister, who has already married a local gentry. Her family background is not considered rich, but she is not burdened. Many family members have to be controlled, but it is excellent for Yingchun, who is lacking in housekeeper and social skills.

Jia She thought to herself, Yingchun is a concubine, and Jia's mansion is not as good as it used to be. She is just a false title, and Jia Huan doesn't have a serious job. If she has a son-in-law who is going to be an official, she will have a helper in the future.It is Zhang Hengru who is poorer now, he can make friends with that clever Jia Huan, maybe he has two talents, maybe he will be admitted to the Jinshi this year in the scientific examination, but he said while he is still just a scholar It's good to settle this matter.

So, Jia Amnesty had a feast of wine, and Tuo Jiahuan invited Zhang Hengru and Jia Lian and Jia Huan to accompany him.

Jia She is an elder, so if you say this too clearly, you will lose face. There is always the reason that no woman's family will follow the man's family, and if the elders of the woman's family insist, it will be too degrading. Jia She basically didn't speak. Pointing to Lord Jia Lian, Jia Huan beat the side drum.However, although Jia Lian has good opportunities to advance and retreat in the world, he has nothing to do with this leftist scholar, and he can't speak the point, and everyone is a little embarrassed.Zhang Hengru hesitated, and excused himself by saying that he didn't dare to make a decision, and he had to go back to his hometown and ask his sister to make a decision.

If we wait until then, wouldn't the day lily be cold?

Jia Huan glanced at Jia She, who was a bit annoyed, and said with a smile, "Brother Zhang Xian is hesitant because he heard that my sister is from a concubine?"

Zhang Hengru blushed, and hurriedly said: "What did Jia Xiandi say? Am I that kind of frivolous person?"

Jia Huan smiled and said: "Brother Zhang Xian is a gentleman, so he certainly won't have such frivolous thoughts, but I still want to explain a thing or two to Brother Zhang Xian. If we talk about other families, the children of concubines are naturally not good in upbringing. It is normal in the world to be a little shorter than the ones born in the same age. But my uncle is different. He has always been open-minded and has a unique vision. He is not only kind to his own children, but also to us nephews. There is a plus, no distinction is made between concubines. As for my elder sister, I am not boasting. She grew up in such a noble and relaxed environment. She has an elegant personality, is knowledgeable, and is good at chess. It is exactly what Brother Zhang Xian is looking for. The minds of like-minded gods and relatives, reading can make red sleeves more fragrant, and chatting with each other in leisure time, life is like this, what more can a husband ask for?"

Zhang Hengru was fascinated by Jia Huan's words, so Jia Lian hurriedly took advantage of the situation and finalized the marriage, agreeing to marry Zhang Hengru and Yingchun as soon as the scientific examination was over.

Jia Yingchun was originally from the same age as Xue Baochai. Aunt Xue got angry when she heard the news, and said to Xue Pan: "If you don't worry yourself, you will do your best for your sister. Seeing that you are almost sixteen, I have not yet heard of it." What is the solution, let the relatives watch the joke, your sister feels bad, and can't sleep in the middle of the night."

On this day, Xue Pan heard the news and rushed back excitedly and said: "My sister's candidate for talent is really a bright future, I thought I was not selected, but now I have another prospect, and it's so good! "

Aunt Xue hurriedly asked what happened.

Xue Pan smiled and said: "I found out that this time the selection of talents is not for the emperor himself, but for the emperor's eldest grandson. It is said that the emperor's eldest grandson will be fifteen years old, and he is already an adult. Going back to elect a main concubine and two side concubines, not to mention those like us who have been named in the ministry before, any official family in the capital, as long as they have daughters of the right age at home, can participate in the election, the more the better. "
