Through the Ring of Red Mansions

Jia Huan went out to the Yimen of Rongfu, only to see Jia Amnesty and others instructing the young servants to carry the incense table and set up offerings, and set up a kneeling group on the ground, but it was still Eunuch Shi Ling Shan in the imperial study who came to proclaim the decree. Seeing Jia Huan, he hurriedly stepped forward and laughed, "Little Jia Tanhua is happy for the new year! Let's get down to business first, and then we can talk?"

Jia Huan hurriedly said, "There is a labor order manager."

At that time, the general manager Shan spread out the yellow silk to the south and announced the imperial decree. It was Yun Jiahuan who accompanied him to inspect the embankment. .Give Jiahuan some gold, silver and silk as a reward.He also said that the river control project will be effective this year and next year, and the waters of the Yellow River will be greatly controlled, and then they will be rewarded.

Another decree is to promote Jia Huan to be a Bachelor of Hanlin (the fifth grade), and to serve in the South Study Room from the next day.

Jia Huan couldn't help but feel depressed when he heard this, if he went to the South study every day, wouldn't it be synchronized with Shui Lang's work and rest time when he went to the morning court every day, how could he sleep comfortably until he woke up naturally.

All the people in Jia's mansion who were listening to the imperial decree were ecstatic, and hurriedly ordered people to take the rewards, and welcomed the general manager Shan to the hall to serve tea, and made people fly to the second gate to report to Jiamu and others. Manager Shan happily stayed this time to drink a cup of tea, and said with a smile to Jia Huan, "Xiao Jia Tanhua is now promoted, and our family is the first to say congratulations. This promotion was originally announced with you when I started writing on the first day of junior high school." It was agreed upon by your lord, but the Holy Majesty is holding a state banquet and family banquet for a while, and he wants to offer incense and blessings, and today he has received the Holy Majesty's approval, and our family rushed over here not long ago."

Jia She and others hurriedly laughed and said, "Director Shan is just joking, such a mighty gift from heaven is already an honor, how dare you think about it sooner or later!"

Not long after, the Imperial Academy also sent Jia Huan new official uniforms and palace waist cards and other things. Jia's mother looked over and laughed so hard that she couldn't close her mouth. She ordered Li Wan to hold a banquet and lead everyone to congratulate her Just leave Jia Huan.

At the banquet, Jia She and the others all said, "The rewards of gold and silver are nothing. It's rare that Huan'er can be promoted to two ranks in a row. Although the Hanlin Bachelor has no real power, he only looks noble, but it is actually a very beautiful job." , is closer to serving the sage than ordinary people, if one day he gets the appreciation of the present, the speed of promotion will not be so fast!" Then he took out the money of the elders to teach Jia Huan how to guess his heart and be careful in handling errands.

It happened that Jia Huan used this excuse to say that he wanted to go back to the villa to prepare things, and he resigned with Jia Mu and others to move out of the Grand View Garden. It's also cheaper."

Jia Huan said with a smile, "I don't have a fixed schedule for my business trips. If I go out early and return late, won't it disturb the rest of the old lady and brothers and sisters? Why bother to pull the people at the door to get up early for me?" Black one. Second, I will come in from the west gate and go directly to the south study room, which is actually about the same distance as going from our house." Seeing that he had made up her mind, Jiamu had no choice but to let it go.

After packing up the things, Fang Ming and Fang Liang brothers drove the carriage, and they pulled the four girls, Xiuyun Jinyue and Caiyun Caiyi, out of the Rong Mansion. Where did this kid Yan go?"

Qing Xiao said, "He wasn't on duty today, he ran away since yesterday evening, and I and the two big brothers Fang couldn't find it. I don't care about him. I can't see anyone when I come back. Back to the villa."

After hearing this, Xiuyun smiled and said, "Brother Huan didn't make you wait on the second gate every day, but he played you crazy, and even occupied Brother Yang's yard, which is better than our life in the mansion."

Qing Xiao said, "This is a one-shot sweeping over a boatload of people, so I won't refute you myself, but the two big brothers Fang are dedicated to their duties, so what you say is wrong."

Both Xiuyun Jinyue and Moyan Qingxiao were picked to serve Jia Huan at one time. They grew up together, so they are very comfortable talking and laughing, but now they don't want to get involved with Brother Fang Ming and Fang Liang. Xiuyun also knows what she is talking about. What a mistake, Busy Fei blushed and ignored Qing Xiao along the way.

Although Jia Huan felt very comfortable when he returned to the villa, he just thought of getting up early in the cold weather tomorrow, which immediately gave him a headache, but the working hours of "national civil servants" are like this, at four or five o'clock in the morning Go to work, get off work at three or four in the afternoon.Fortunately, Daqing's Shang Dynasty system is not like the Qing Dynasty, which has a rest day every five days, but a rest day every three days.

He also called Qing Xiao and Fang Ming and Fang Liang brothers to come over, told them about his business hours, and asked them to be divided into two groups, and two of them would accompany him to work every day. Naturally, they would not be able to enter the palace, but Just find a place to wait outside, and then drive the carriage to pick up people when the time is almost up, which is similar to the leading drivers of later generations.

While talking to Qing Xiao and the others, Jia Huan wondered, "It's getting dark now, I'm afraid Mo Yan won't be able to leave the city even if he knows we're back, so he went to play in Nanyang?"

Before he could say a word, he suddenly saw a doorman at the gate of the villa rushing in and said, "Master Huan, Mo Yan brought someone with him, kneeling at the gate of the villa and refusing to come in!"

Jia Huan was startled, he raised his legs and walked out, the doorman hurriedly followed and said, "I don't recognize that one, but he is a boy similar to him. Both of them are quite good, they don't look like they have been murdered." .”

Said Jia Huan felt relieved, and went to the gate to see that timid kid kneeling with Mo Yan, who else could it be if it wasn't Sheng'er in Jia Lian's study? !

As soon as Mo Yan saw Jia Huan coming out, he quickly crouched down and did not dare to get up, Sheng Er followed him and kowtowed, although the snow in front of the villa had melted, the stone steps were cold and hard, the sky was dark, and the wind was very biting , so both of them were lying on the ground rustling.Jia Huan stepped forward and tapped Mo Yan's leg, cursing, "Get out of here quickly, who will show you acting like this!!"

Qing Xiao and Fang Ming hurried up to help them up, followed Jia Huan back to the study, Jia Huan ignored the inkstone, just looked at Sheng'er and said, "You are not serving in the study of Lian's second brother, why did you come here? Already?!"

Sheng'er didn't dare to raise his head, but kept shaking his shoulders and kowtowed, "I beg Mr. Huan to show mercy."

Mo Yan also took a few steps on his knees, walked up to Sheng'er and said, "It's my fault, I'm a bastard, I deserve to die, my heart is covered with too much yellow soup, and I did something worse than an animal, please!" It's really not his fault that I was the only one sent."

Seeing the appearance of these two people, Jia Huan couldn't help sneering, "I don't even know anything, you are here to rob each other and plead guilty, can't you two kill someone together?!"

Mo Yan hurriedly said, "It's definitely not hurting the sky, it's just...just..."

Seeing that he was at a loss for words, Jia Huan only looked at Qing Xiao and the three, and said, "Qing Xiao, you guys go out first."

Seeing that there was no one in the house, Mo Yan hesitantly told the story. It turned out that Jia Huan had moved into the Grand View Garden to stay for the New Year, and Mo Yan, Qing Xiao and others followed him into the city to live in a place next to Yang Xiong's Congrong Mansion. In a small courtyard, I only go to the second gate to listen to Jia Huan's errands every day.Unexpectedly, Mo Yan was on duty at Ermen for the first day, and met Sheng Er who went out to buy things for the little girls. Mo Yan had accompanied Jia Huan on his southern tour and hadn't come back for two or three months, so When the two met again, they felt very affectionate, and Sheng'er took the time to stay with Mo Yan at Ermen'er for most of the day.

In the next few days, as long as the inkstone was at the second gate, Sheng'er would always come over to talk with him. It just so happened that yesterday was Sheng'er's birthday. Since he didn't have any relatives or friends, Sheng'er deliberately asked for a day's leave, stayed with Mo Yan at Ermen'er for a day, and invited Mo Yan to the restaurant again.I didn't want both of them to drink too much, so when I woke up, I found that the two of them were hugging each other, and Mo Yan was so drunk that he "eat" Sheng'er.

Jia Huan finally finished listening with a sullen face, and couldn’t help being angry and funny. In his later life, he had a doctorate in four subjects and studied in the United States and the United Kingdom. He also met many real homosexuals, some of whom were still his good friends. Therefore, I am not tired of homosexuality, and Daqing has been in prosperity for a long time, and the folk customs are luxurious, and the masculinity is quite popular among the dignitaries. Yes, no more enumeration.It's just that Jia Huan suddenly remembered what happened to the two of them before, and he couldn't believe that Mo Yan had strengthened Sheng'er, so he scolded, "Don't lie to me, I don't know, it's up to you to decide this kind of thing, I don't believe if he If you refuse to obey, how can someone like you still succeed?!"

Sheng'er hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Third Master Huan Mingjian, you are really a villain...Brother Moyan who provoked you with evil intentions first, just ask Third Master Huan to let me go."

Jia Huan said with a sneer, "Let's be smart people don't talk dark words, so you think I don't know your idea? First you gave Mo Yan a purse, I guessed that you were going to cause trouble, Mo Yan followed me, I naturally kept it He has a good future, but you have come to recruit him!!"

Sheng'er's face was pale, choked with sobs, and Mo Yan wanted to speak for him, but just as he was about to speak, Jia Huan said, "Mo Yan shut up! Just listen, do you think he is just starting to plot against you?!"

Sheng'er wept, "The villain knows he's guilty! Originally, I did have... the idea of ​​climbing to Brother Moyan and taking me to the next level, but since I was a child, no one has treated the villain so well. Nuan, think of me in everything, I am willing to repay even if I am an ox or a horse. Brother Moyan follows Third Master Huan, and he may become such a noble person in the future. The villain does not dare to ask Third Master Huan for forgiveness now , just please don’t argue with big brother Moyan, you are willing to beat me to death.”

Jia Huan paused, and said, "You are under Lian's second brother, but I asked you why, you get out of my sight immediately, and don't appear in front of Mo Yan from now on, I'll take it seriously I haven't heard of it, so go away."

Mo Yan suddenly became anxious, walked up to his knees and hugged Jia Huan's leg and cried, "Good master, have you ever been so cruel, wouldn't it kill him to let him go like this? I will never see him again I beg the master to give him grace, let me redeem him, and go out to live his own life. Now let's take him in for a night!"

Jia Huan said, "Don't blame me, I still want to promote you to be an official, rich farmer, tell you a good marriage, have children and carry on the family line, in the future your children will not be slaves, they will be serious." A character from Bajinger. If you hang out with him, what will you lose?"

After hearing this, Sheng'er wiped his tears and kowtowed to Jia Huan, gritted his teeth fiercely and got up, not daring to look at the inkstone, and ran out without looking back.

Mo Yan was in a hurry to chase after him, Jia Huan hurriedly said, "Think it over! Don't come back after chasing after him!! You don't want the relationship we have been together since childhood!!"

Mo Yan was stunned for a moment, his eyes turned bloodshot, then he knelt down again and said, "I know that the master is doing it for my own good, but I really feel sorry for him, and I don't want to marry a wife and have children in the future. I don’t know who my mother is, what else do I need to carry on the family line, I beg the Lord to forgive the two of us, and I don’t ask for those good futures, but I will be slaves to the Lord together for the rest of my life, even if the Lord is impatient to see us, I am also willing to drive us to the Zhuangzi to guard the gate!"

Jia Huan looked at him and said, "Aren't you afraid that you will regret it many years later? Now that you are still young, it's okay to see him grow better. You will become a bad old man in the future, how can you have so much sincerity?!"

Hearing that Jia Huan's words were loose, Mo Yan quickly replied, "I don't regret it! I also had to suffer for a whole day today before I dared to bring him back to see the Lord."

Jia Huan couldn't help rubbing his cheeks with his hands, and said with a smile, "Then you can go."

Mo Yan was taken aback, blinked in a daze, seeing that Jia Huan was indeed smiling, he couldn't recover for a while, and said in a daze, "Where are you going?"

Jia Huan laughed and said, "Go and chase Sheng'er, it's freezing cold, don't come back and blame me if you catch the wind and cold. Really, I endured it all night so that my face is sore."

Mo Yan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he rushed out, slamming the door of the study room and shaking, Qing Xiao came in from the outside and said, "These two are crazy, one of them has to risk it all night. The wind goes away, and one after another, it's like burning your butt."

Jia Huan said, "Taking care of them, I'm exhausted. I have to get up early tomorrow, so you go with me for a few days first. Let Mo Yan take a vacation, and let him replace you when he recovers."

Qing Xiao said seriously, "That's not necessary, just deduct his monthly money and give it to me."
