Through the Ring of Red Mansions

It is only said that Sister Feng is a female generation, and she is busy these days. "On the one hand, I sent people in cars and sedan chairs from Rongfu to deliver the funeral to Mrs. Wang, and at the same time, I took care of the funeral to occupy the next place. Now it is the time of the death of Duke Shan. Mrs. Xing Er went to hold sacrifices and send funerals again. On the birthday of the Princess of Xi'an County, a birthday gift was given. It is also difficult to describe the source of the disease, the medicine case, etc., because of things, and Yingchun is sick, and I ask the doctor to take medicine every day, see the doctor's instructions, etc.."

Seeing this, Jia Huan also sincerely admired that Sister Feng was indeed a strong woman. Although she did not do some things beautifully enough, she was also influenced by the decline of Jia's mansion, and finally ended in a dismal end.It's just that now Jia Huan can't let Jia's family ransack his home and hurt him, so he has to think about bringing Sister Feng over slowly.

On the day of the funeral, all the road sacrifices lined up in one go, the first one was the sacrificial shed of the Four Princes' Mansion, and King Shui Rong of Beijing personally appeared for the road sacrifice, panicked Jia Zhen and Jia She and Jia Zheng rushed forward to pay the national ceremony meet.

Shui Rongyin asked Jia Zheng, "Which one was born with a treasure? I have to see you several times, but I am hindered by the mess. I think I am here today. Why don't you come here for a while." He smiled and said, "Little Although Jia Tanhua didn't take the post, I only heard that a gathering hall was built in the west of the city, and she really has extraordinary ideas, and I only saw it from a distance at the imperial banquet a while ago, but I didn't have time to meet in person."

When Jia Zheng heard about it, he hurried back and ordered Baoyu and Jia Huan to take off their filial piety and lead them here.Baoyu has always liked to make friends with these famous people, so he chatted with Shui Rong very happily, but Shui Rong did not praise Baoyu as in the original book, "the young phoenix will be as clear as the old phoenix" in the future, and only put the rosary on his wrist As a gift to Baoyu, he took Jia Huan's hand kindly, and smiled at Jia Zheng, "He is indeed a beautiful man. Wait for a few years, and his future is limitless."

When Jia Huan heard the word "Jinxiu" deliberately said by the King of Beijing, his heart was moved. He didn't know if he did it on purpose, but it didn't show on the water-soluble surface, so he turned back to look at Baoyu. Looking at him happily, as if very honored, Jia Huan couldn't help sighing secretly, if Second Master Bao stays like this and doesn't cause trouble, it's not impossible to raise him in the mansion later.

When the funeral in Ning Mansion was finished, the tired Jia Huan had a sore back and a sore back, and wished he could find a bed to lie down immediately, so he didn't care about the good things about Qin Zhong and Zhi Er in the original book, so he hurried back to the mansion to rest, and then Once, he admired Baoyu who asked to spend one more night in Tiekan Temple.

A few days later, it was Jia Zheng's birthday. Ding Qihe, the official of the Ningrong Second Mansion, was very lively, but suddenly the eunuch of the Liugongdu, Mr. Xia, came to pass the decree. Ri just met Long Si, and didn't listen to any hints from him, so he couldn't help but maliciously speculate whether this Long Si had a split personality. Anyway, when he usually made friends, he really didn't look like an emperor, but he looked more and more like a future generation Those close partners of Jia Huan are now.

Everyone was a little panicked because of Jia Zheng's entry into the palace, but Jia Huan knew it well, and he didn't have any anxiety on his face. It was a bit calm to teach others to only praise Tan Hualang.

After two hours, Lai Da waited for three or four housekeepers to come back panting to announce the good news, "Mother Jia felt at ease after hearing this, and her cheeks were full of joy. So they all put on their makeup according to their tastes. Mother Jia led Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. You entered the palace in four sedan chairs. Jia Amnesty and Jia Zhen also changed into court clothes, and led Jia Rong and Jia Qiang to serve Jiamu's sedan chair."

Because of Jia Huan's fame and fame, he also wanted to go to the palace to thank him, but these male relatives were not allowed to enter the palace, they just waited outside.

The happy event here is not yet over, and there is news that Jia Lian and sister Lin have returned to the house. Now that Jia Huan has "been on the high platform", Jia's mother likes to recruit him to everything, and she only hopes that he can be close to Baoyu brothers. , so that we can support each other in the future, so we have to meet in Jiamu's room.

Since Jia Huan became a Jinshi, Sister Lin never forgot to give Jia Huan and Aunt Zhao a share of New Year's gifts. With Sister Lin's aloofness and aloofness, it's not that she has a "powerful eye", but the ancients. It was nothing more than the traditional notion of concubine and concubine, now that Jia Huan has achieved fame, naturally he cannot be treated as an ordinary concubine son, this matter is just the habitual consciousness of the ancients, and has nothing to do with the quality of character.

In addition, although Jia Huan has no obsession with "Bao Dai's marriage", he is very willing to see the "Buddha" Mrs. Wang dissatisfied, so he excuses him to facilitate Bao Dai's marriage, which fulfills Baoyu's wish and meets Jia's mother's wishes. Secretly trying to protect Daiyu from mentioning it.

This time Daiyu came to Beijing and officially became an "orphan girl". Since then, she has lived in Jia's mansion and distributed the earthen rituals brought back from Gusu to the sisters and Baoyu Jiahuan.Jia Huan took the opportunity to return the gift, and picked out two white bead flower hairpins, two suet white jade hairpins, two plain dresses from the tailor shop, and a large bag of golden silk bird's nest from the jewelry store in the "Splendid Pavilion". It was sealed together with the high-quality rock sugar white fungus, and Jinyue, the eldest girl under her hand, sent it over, but Sister Lin sent Zijuan, who was in front of her, to thank her.

Jia Huan got up the next morning and told Jia Zheng that he was going to the Huihui Library, but ignored Baoyu's saying that he would call him when he went out next time.When I got to the bottom of the restaurant, I saw that the outside had been replaced with large pieces of transparent glass windows according to my order, and the appearance was extraordinarily gorgeous in the same color as the paper windows on the street. I couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

Go straight up to the second floor and enter the box of the "Hu" brand. Inside, there is already a tall man in black clothes, with his back to the door and looking at the street view from the window.

Jia Huan entered the door and greeted with a smile, "Why doesn't Fourth Brother Long order food? Could it be that he feels sorry for Yin Zi? Didn't he just show you the financial statements for the first half of this year? You should be satisfied." Surrounded by two tall attendants whom Jia Huan had never seen before, they couldn't help but look at this bold young man again and again.

Long Si turned around and glanced at Jia Huan, smiled slowly, "You can count it, what is a meal worth, I'm just taking a small advantage here, you have lost more than me."

Jia Huan ignored his jokes, and called Xiao Er to come over to order, and Xiao Er, who was wearing the uniform blue and black uniform of Jinxiu Restaurant, said, "Sir, do you want to go downstairs and have a look? There are ready-made dishes and drinks on display. know what it is."

Jia Huan said with a smile, "This service attitude is not bad, ink inkstone, thank you."

In addition, I ordered four cold and four hot dishes, but shredded scallion fish, spicy chicken, roasted duck and a plate of fried vegetables. Long Si ordered a pot of Huadiao, and Jia Huan was not allowed to drink it. The two chatted some gossip while eating.

Jia Huan said, "The pearl fields in Taihu Lake and the seaside have produced pearls for the first time this year. It is said that they have a good harvest. I think Jinxiu Jewelry Store will have a special season of pearls. Brother Yang has already gone to watch the collection of pearls in person. I'll be back in a few days, probably."

Long Sidao, "Talk to me when you get the beads, but you asked me out today, why did you ask for a large amount of money?"

Jia Huan laughed and said, "Of course it's for flowers, but we've already agreed that you have to invest [-]% of everything I make, and you can't rely on that."

Long Si couldn't help looking at Jia Huan, and said with a low smile, "When did I ever rely on you, huh?"

Jia Huan felt that Long Si's eyes were full of meaning, but at the time he was very puzzled, and he just complained, "I'm talking about stubbornness, but this time it's actually my own business. The family is also allowed to visit relatives, so I have to pay some money to build a family visit villa, otherwise everyone will know that I have a shop outside, so I can’t justify pretending not to know. The other thing is that I want to build a house by myself outside the city , I will come out to play when I am bored at home, so I have a place to go."

I thought that Long Si's expression would move when he heard about Yuan Chun's concubine, but he didn't blink his eyelids, and said as if he didn't hear, "You build the house yourself? How old are you, you want a golden house to hide your beauty? "

Even though Jia Huan was extremely mature inside, he couldn't help grinding his teeth when he heard the words, "You are a bit dirty, I just got it here to play for myself, how can there be a golden house hiding beauty?"

As soon as Jia Huan yelled, he felt that something was wrong, and the expressions of the two people behind Long Si suddenly darkened, as if they were about to explode on the spot, just waiting for Long Si's expression.

However, Long Si glanced at Jia Huan with a half-smile, poured himself another glass of wine, and said with a smile, "That's true, your aunt from the Lin family has become an orphan now, and it's a little bit of a shame to have a Tanhua in her status." Gao Pan, as long as you mention it, I am afraid that the Jia family will grab someone to take care of it for you."

Jia Huan was a little dumbfounded, "I don't want you to be so messy, Sister Lin... Sister Lin is older than me, I don't like sibling love."

Although Long Si had never heard of the term "sibling love", fortunately, he understood it as soon as he heard it, so he said with a smile, "What's so embarrassing, there are so many aunts and cousins ​​coming and going in and out of Jia's mansion, I didn't see you talking to anyone else, but I sent clothes, hairpins and jewelry to Miss Lin alone, and a package of bird's nest. I even wanted to wrap rock sugar for her, but I almost sent it over before it was stewed. "

What he said was really wrong. Jia Huan thought about it carefully, but he was not sure how Long Si found out. He didn't dare to joke that Long Si was jealous. Suddenly, he thought of another possibility, couldn't help but laughed, " Brother Long, I just took such an idea from the store, you won’t feel sorry for it, I’ve paid for it, and it will be deducted from my dividend according to the purchase price, why do you even care about this?! "

Finally, Long Si couldn't help coughing, and looked up at Jia Huan again, only to see that pair of black and white cat Ren'er's clear pupils were extremely clear, the expression on his face slowed down a little, and he stopped talking about it just now. He paused and said, "Just to tease you. You are only twelve now, so there is no need to worry about getting married, just in the room... If you want someone, Fourth Brother has excellent ones for you."

Jia Huan waved his hands hurriedly, "Stop it, I can't thank fourth brother, let's not mention this matter anymore. Can we just talk about my house?"

The two had a serious discussion about the meeting. Jia Huan thought it was too eye-catching in the city, so Long Si agreed to help him find a suitable courtyard from the suburbs of the capital. Jia Huan was so happy that he let go and entrusted him with full authority. .After eating with Long Si, I went to the bank to transfer the bank notes without mentioning it.

Long Si led his servants back slowly, and suddenly asked halfway, "Does Mrs. Shi know how much money Miss Lin brought back?"

Although he couldn't see it, the person behind him still bowed slightly and said, "Return to Master, she should know."

This person looked young, so his face was pale and beardless, and others could not feel the difference, but when he opened his mouth, his voice was a little too feminine.

Long Si walked in front for a while, and then said, "In your opinion, does he want to give Raja's house a hand, or does he want to let it go?"

The two people behind were stunned, and they were careful not to ask who "he" was.One replied slowly, "Yi Nubi boldly speculates that the third master Jia may still care more about the family of the Jia family. If he is an official in the court in the future and has a family behind him, it will be better than being in vain."

The other also hurriedly said, "I don't think so. Now the Ningrong Second Mansion doesn't cause trouble for Mr. Jia. It's better to just keep the name of the Duke's descendant and save a lot of trouble."

Long Si smiled when he heard the words, "You guys are smart, what you said is good, you can find Lao Jin to receive the reward when you go back to the palace."

The two hurriedly thanked Jia Huan happily, and then gave their companions a wink, both of them knew it, and made up their minds that no matter how presumptuous Jia Huan was in front of Long Si, they would just pretend not to mention it.
