Through the Ring of Red Mansions

A few days later, Jia Huan was trying out an improved bicycle in the yard. Because a very lightweight alloy had recently been synthesized in the Boiler Workshop, a blacksmith replaced the wooden wheels with metal hubs and iron bars as Jia Huan said. The spokes are much lighter in weight, and it is not so strenuous to pedal alone, but the tires still cannot find good materials, and it is still very bumpy to ride.

Suddenly someone came to report, "Fourth Master Long is here!"

Jia Huan also hasn't seen Long Si for a long time, and also avoids him on matters concerning Jia's mansion.Speaking of which, in this world, Long Si is considered to be the closest friend to Jia Huan. At least Long Si never questioned or objected to his untimely ideas. Said the nerve is rough.

As soon as Long Si entered the yard, he saw Jia Huan sweating profusely standing under the shade of a tree. He wanted to take out a towel to wipe him off, but Jia Huan held him back and said, "Come on, try this improved car." bicycles, and now it saves a lot of effort.”

Seeing that Long Si was really happy to help the car to try it out, the attendants beside him hurriedly came up to beckon the front of the car to help the rear of the car, and they rode only two feet, which made Jia Huan laugh out loud. Zhu also laughed, "This thing looks ugly, maybe it should be improved, some ordinary people make more of it."

Jia Huan thought that this was right to the point, and said with a smile, "It's so hot outside, you go to the study and wait for me first, I'll wash my face and come back."

For a while, the two of them sat down in the study room, and two plates of chilled peeled Zengcheng hanging green lychees and Lusong awns were placed on the table. Long Si couldn't help laughing and said, "It's so easy to eat if you like it, they give me it every year." Some good-tasting lychees, besides Zengcheng Gualu, also have concubine laughing, and champion red ones, after a few days, I'll get someone to bring them to you."

Jia Huan smiled brightly, nodded and said, "That's great, by the way, you are familiar with those princes and concubines, so I want to ask you something?"

Long Si asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

Jia Huan smiled, "It's nothing, it's just that you heard that, last month, Princess Beijing recognized the granddaughter in front of the old lady in our mansion as her goddaughter. Was Princess Beijing nice to my aunt before? Never heard of it in the house."

Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, Jia Huan was glanced at by Long Si, and those deep eyes were stared intently, which immediately made him feel dizzy, and he couldn't help but secretly swear, only heard that the eyes of beautiful women can discharge, now It seems that the electricity in the eyes of the beautiful man is also very lethal.He hurriedly lowered his head and pretended to concentrate on eating lychees.

But Long Si was amused by his pricking up his ears and said, "They used to have some friendship, and they broke up when they married each other. This time, it was probably entrusted by your concubine Yuan in the palace."

Jia Huan couldn't help being stunned, "Why did the empress ask the concubine to recognize her as her daughter?"

Long Si smiled and said, "Maybe it's because Mrs. Mrs. Shi of the Rong Mansion intends to marry your aunt to your brother, because the parents of that Miss Lin are gone. If Mrs. Shi said to herself Speaking of myself, outsiders may have various speculations, and finding Miss Lin a godmother now is not helpless. It will be easy to get married in the future."

Jia Huanming knew that even if the mountains had no mausoleums and the heavens and the earth were in harmony, it was impossible for Yuan Chun to agree with Jia's mother and let Baoyu marry Daiyu.Obviously, the etiquette of Duanyang Festival is still the same as Baoyu and Baochai, how can the kung fu of opening eyes be reversed, so he glanced at Long Si and said, "Do you know the inside story? Don't you just hear it?" , Yuan...the one that the empress ordered could not be Miss Lin anyway!"

Long Si was taken aback, and then said with a serious face, "How have I ever lied to you? Even if you secretly admire your cousin, you must also know that her relationship with Brother Ling is not so good. How can you get in? It's better to withdraw as soon as possible to avoid self-injury!"

Jia Huan originally suspected that Long Si was playing tricks, but now when he heard it, a thought flashed in his mind, and he blurted out, "You want to make Baoyu and Sister Lin better, so that I can break my thoughts?!"

As soon as these words came out, the surroundings fell silent, Long Si remained motionless, quietly looking at Jia Huan, like a sculpture.

Although Jia Huan didn't understand why Long Si would mistakenly think that he liked Sister Lin again and again, but listening to his words was also for his own good, and he also saw a gloomy look on his face that he had never seen before. Knowing that Long Si's temper is extremely low, and he doesn't get angry easily, but now he seems to be very angry.

He hurriedly waved his hands and said, "What are you thinking? How many times have I told you that I didn't like Sister Lin. Besides, even if I want to be angry, I should be angry. Is it reasonable?! What did I do to make you misunderstand like this?!"

Long Si looked at him carefully for a long while, seeing that Jia Huan's expression did not seem to be fake, he smiled slowly and said: "You see that you are so anxious that you don't know the difference between sister and sister? Since you have no intention of Miss Lin, why After taking care of her like that, he bought a little opera singer who was very similar to her and hid it in the villa. The clothes I took out from the shop before, except for the girls in your family, were only given to Miss Lin, and the other Miss Xue. Smith has no part? Are you saying I coaxed you, or you coaxed me?"

Jia Huan said depressedly, "The conscience of heaven and earth, I really don't want to marry Sister Lin... Sister Lin!!"

It is unavoidable to narrow down Sister Feng at home because of this, and when she meets Fan Guaner, she will bring Sister Lin, Baochai, Daiyu, and Mrs. Jia Muwang to the candidates who disagree with each other. He said, "I'm not afraid that you'll laugh at me if I say it. It's just Baoyu, but Mrs. Wang is really not very tolerant. For her Baoyu, she wants to push me down. Therefore, I firmly agree with Baoyu and Sister Lin." , although it does not benefit me, it is just to see her unhappy."

Long Si's expression gradually slowed down, and he heard Jia Huan say, "You are a real person, and you are not my father. I don't care who I like. If Sister Lin and Baoyu are not good, don't you have any worries, why don't you let her go?" If it’s given to me, wouldn’t it be too late for me to cry?!”

So he gave Long Si a supercilious look, ignored him, and left the study by himself, Mo Yan came in after a while and said with a smile on his face, "Hello, Fourth Master Long, my brother said he was going to visit Zhuangzi, please... Please help yourself..."

Long Si almost laughed when he heard this, and knew that Jia Huan was hiding. He thought that Jia Huan was the only one who dared to ignore him in front of him. He was not annoyed, and said with a smile, "You guys Go ahead, just turn around and come back, don't get too hot. I'll send some more ice later."

After a few days, not only a cartload of ice, but also half a cartful of fresh lychees, mangoes, horse milk melons and other fruits, the most rare thing is a piece of cool jade, which can cool the body when worn next to the body for a while. The heat is gone, and cool jade is milder than cold jade, which can be tolerated by people regardless of infirmity, so the price is dozens of times more expensive than cold jade, and it has always been only used as a tribute to the royal family, Jia Huan Putting on the jade pendant and playing for a while, it felt really effective, so he smiled happily and gave Long Si a box of chocolate mousse cake that David had just made, packed it in a box filled with ice, and treated the gift giver humanely, " Go back and thank your master for me."

Long Siyuan knew that he only brought back a small bag of cocoa beans from Nanyang, so Jia Huan always treasured anything made of cocoa that had something to do with chocolate. It's all gone, and I can't help but feel good.

I don't know how many times it has been, Jia Zheng ordered a school errand to inspect Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and everyone sent him off. Although Jia Zheng was worried about family affairs, he had no choice but to entrust Li Wan and Tanchun Road before leaving. "The second wife has always been weak, so don't bother her about anything. If you can't make a decision, you can ask the old lady for advice, or you can ask Huan'er." Li Wan Tanchun agreed.

As soon as Jia Zheng left, "you can't remember too much about the outside world. Shanbiao Baoyu wanders freely in the garden every day, really wasting time and adding years to nothing."

One day, Jia Huan was sorting out all the properties under the Jinxiu Pavilion in his study, updating and formulating the next development plan, when he suddenly saw Mo Yan leading an unfamiliar boy in, presented him with a pair of flower notes, and apologized with a smile "The younger one is here to send a letter to the third master Huan for the third girl. Sister Yinglian didn't say what it was for, and the younger one didn't dare to ask."

When Jia Huan unfolded it to look at it, it was Tanchun who said that housekeeping was trivial and annoying, and he wanted to start a poetry club on a whim to relax, so he came to ask Jia Huan what he meant, and meant to invite him.

Jia Huan looked at it and smiled and said, "She can still think of this, it seems that she is not busy enough." So she took the flower note and said to Mo Yan, "You will run to accompany him back, and take it with you from the villa when you leave. Fresh water and osmanthus, on the way, stop by Jinxiu Restaurant, get some fruit snacks that girls love to eat, put them in two big boxes, give one box to the old lady, and put the other box in the third girl's Qiushuangzhai , just say that I said to let her start the poetry club tomorrow to entertain guests."

Mo Yan promised to hurry away, and when he came back, he smiled and said, "Let me give gifts, but it's a great deal, because the second master Bao just gave the old lady a bottle of flower branches the day before yesterday, and the old lady was boasting about Bao Er Grandpa is filial, and when I put in the things that grandpa filial piety respected, the old lady was so happy, she pulled the eldest wife and grandma to talk about the benefits of a big car, and said that I was clever and clever, and asked me to take care of it. As an errand, I was rewarded with a handful of gold and silver rice balls and a purse. When I went outside, my grandma rewarded me with two slings of money to buy candy. Second Master Debao's room is poor."

Jia Huan laughed and scolded after hearing this, "What did you send me to do? Just here, it's nothing to worry about, let's just drive a big cart!"

Xiuyun originally invited Jia Huan to have dinner, but she laughed and said, "He was short-sighted and a money addict, and a handful of golden scorpions made him ignorant of the north, south, east, west, and north. Now it's rare to find the door and come back."

Mo Yan hurriedly argued, "Why am I so frivolous? I also took care of the errands well. The third girl seemed to be happy when she saw those things. She even said that the third master was thoughtful, and asked me to tell you, please." Master will go tomorrow morning, there are still some things to discuss."

It was during the meal that Xiuyun became surprised and asked, "It's nothing more than the old lady admiring the inkstone, but why the grandma is doing the same thing, I really can't figure it out."

Jia Huan thought to himself that I gave them all 2 taels of silver, and it was nothing strange to come back with two slings of silver, so she just laughed it off.
