Through the Ring of Red Mansions

It's said that Baoyu didn't get together much because Jiamu and Jia Huan had left, but he left the banquet once again. Because he sent a little girl to Jiamu's side to see Aunt Xue left, Fang went to Jiamu together. Here's a joke.

For a while, Jia Huan and Tanchun went to the third wife's room again, and Tanchun asked what was going on. Hearing Jia Huan's rough words, he was surprised and said, "When their family went to Beijing in the early years, they heard that they fought for a little girl with others. He is dead, why is he like this now? It can be seen that he will not be able to do anything. I think what the aunt said is not accurate, but it is better to push it away. You just got some important use now. If everyone comes to ask, you will answer it. I'm afraid it's not over."

Jia Huan said with a smile, "I thought so too. After all, the old lady is the most powerful. It's not hurtful to let the concubine have nothing to say with a few words."

Tan Chun sighed, "What kind of person is the old lady? You see that Lian's second sister-in-law is so shrewd, and she is not as smart as the old lady. Now I see Lian's second sister-in-law gradually retreating, but Sister Lin... The second sister-in-law is here again, so it's a bit of a handover between the two, anyway, I've put aside the family affairs long ago. What's more, the second wife is like that now, isn't the concubine separated by another floor, It really depends on whether it is a serious matter to help relatives. For example, this time, if it is really Brother Xue, should we be the ones who help the evildoers?"

Jia Huan nodded and said, "I'm just helping to find out, since Prince Renjing said to take care of it, there is nothing to do with our family here."

Seeing the third wife's room, the two of them covered up their conversation and went in to say hello to the third wife. It happened that the third wife was instructing the little girls to look for things, spreading out those small boxes and whole bolts of satin that were not usually used. It was all over the kang, and Tanchun asked, "Why did you search for something important? Can't you find something important?"

Seeing that the two of them had gone, the third wife hurriedly threw down the things in her hands and came up to her, and said happily, "It's not that I can't find a piece of tulle satin with blue flowers! It turned out to be an old classmate of your master, Honglu Temple." Mrs. Han’s wife invited me to Hanli Temple to pay respects to the Buddha, and sent Lilai. Last time, I thought of giving her this lotus-colored one to make a door curtain, but it would look good with that blue border. Suddenly I can't find it again." Then he smiled at Tanchun, "I told your master about it, but he said that the solar terms are just right, and we women don't go out usually, so it's okay to go shopping for two more days. So I made an appointment with Mrs. Han, and I will go there after the Duanyang Festival, but I will stay in the temple for six or seven days before I come back, and when I go back to the old lady, I will take you to worship the Buddha together!"

Tanchun was very pleasantly surprised when he heard that he was able to go out. Jia Huan saw that the third wife also started to invite some officials' wives. I was happy for her, so I smiled and said, "There are many other colors to match the lotus root. If you don't like it, I'll find some for you from the shop outside. What else do you want to give away? Let them pack it up and send it in."

The third wife hurriedly waved her hands and said, "Forget it quickly, you should still be in the same situation as our family in the early days! Now the old lady is taking the lead in trying to save money, the meals are much simpler than before, and a few people from the family have been sold, you Ask your sister if you have sealed off all the unused rooms in the garden. I went in for a stroll yesterday, and it was deserted. If you want to take your sister out to live with me, she is not willing. No matter how old you are now Cars and small boxes get things from me, and people see them, don’t they talk about it?!”

Tanchun said, "It's not because my fourth sister is inside that I can't come out. Now that Yihong Courtyard has been marked out, there are only two sisters left in the Grand View Garden. If I move here again, only my fourth sister will be left. Don't you think too much? Although Kuang has closed many unused houses, we have added maids and women from those places to our place, so it is very lively in front of us, and we don't think it's a big deal."

The third wife thought for a while and smiled, "But I actually forgot about her. There is no one in the Ning Mansion who winks. The girl has already run for the election. I don't know if I will find someone else. Maybe I will wait for the old man to marry her." Where's the dowry for my wife!!"

Jia Huan was about to laugh when he heard this, but Tanchun gave him a sideways glance, and went up to interrupt, "I think this pine-green one looks good with it, and it's refreshing in summer, so why bother looking for another blue one? It's my mother's two horses. Hurry up and tell the old lady, the day after tomorrow will be Duanyang, if you really bring me with you, I will also clean up!"

The third wife said, "Why are you in such a hurry! I'm still thinking about Huan'er's birthday next month, and I want to sew two more summer clothes for him. Come and choose the materials with me first." Jia Huan measured the shoulder width and sleeve length for a long time. Jia Huan only said that there is no need to bother, just find another needleworker to do it.

Jia Huan wanted to go back to the villa because he had a rest today and had nothing else to do, but he saw that Qing Xiao and Fang Ming each tied a bundle, and he couldn't help asking, "What did you buy?"

Qing Xiao glanced at her mouth and said, "I brought some dim sum from Jinxiu Restaurant to Mo Yan's family." Fang Ming also smiled, "It's also dim sum."

Jia Huan laughed and said, "Why are you having trouble with Dim Sum today?"

Qing Xiao hurriedly said, "I told you that this inkstone was used for running errands, Brother Fang, it's for nothing, it's for Sister Xiuyun and the others."

Jia Huan then said, "Moyan is really kind to Sheng'er, and you can exploit him!" As he spoke, he couldn't help but think of something, so he called Moyan aside when he returned to the villa, and the two of them After talking behind people's backs for a long time, they all went away with blushing faces.

After a while, Mo Yan entered Jia Huan's study like a thief again, secretly gave him a small porcelain bottle and said, "This bottle is new, you don't need to buy it again, it's not good for people to see. It's just... just there It's all very delicate, if it's the first time for that person, you...be careful, otherwise someone will feel bad when it's over."

Jia Huan hurriedly gathered up his sleeves and waved his hand to signal Mo Yan to walk quickly, "Why don't I know this, you go back and accompany your wife, don't let others see, if you dare to reveal a word, I will detain you One year's monthly money!!"

Mo Yan still wanted to argue, "If you accidentally exposed yourself, can you blame me?!"

Just as he was talking, Xiuyun came in and said, "What is this plotting? Are the doors and windows so tightly closed?"

Jia Huan gave Mo Yan a wink, and Mo Yan hurriedly said, "You like to ask, but I have an errand to come over to inquire!"

Xiuyun said, "Who cares to come here to inquire about it? I'm just talking back and forth. Fourth Master Long sent someone to send a lot of fresh grapes today. He said that they are the same as those from the Western Regions. They are very fragrant and sweet. Special ones for Brother Huan Send some. I have already rewarded the people who came to send things. If you want to return some things to Master Long, Brother Huan will send someone to send them. And there is that pot of God's flowers, because I see the sun is a little big, I was afraid that the two young leaves would be damaged by the sun, so I moved them to a shaded place, Brother Huan, don’t worry if you can’t find them for a while.”

After finishing speaking, he pointed to the flower bench by the window, because Jia Huan treasured this pot of flowers and plants very much, compared with those very precious orchids and peonies in the yard, he was more concerned about it, everyone jokingly called it "God Flower", Jia Huan Huan said several times that it was called parasitic grass, and everyone laughed, "I just heard that there is a name called parasitic grass in the lyrics and music, but I have never seen it. It can be seen that there is only such a branch in the world. Isn't it a very precious divine flower?" Son?!"

Xiuyun pointed at the flower bench, but there was nothing on it, not to mention a pot of flowers, even a piece of soil was gone. Jia Huan thought she was joking, and said, "What are you talking about, that god flower is invisible. ?”

Xiuyun became anxious immediately, and hurried over to search for it, and said in surprise, "I really put it here, no one would dare to move that flower, why did it disappear?!"

Mo Yan also said, "No one dares to come in casually in Master's study rules. Who made this happen, I'd like to go out and ask."

Unexpectedly, after asking all the waiters inside and outside, they all said that they hadn't touched it. Everyone heard that things were going to be bad, and hurriedly turned the inside and outside of the village upside down, and didn't even see a broken flower pot. Holding on, crying like tears behind him, he only said, "You told me well, why did you move it with your hands, you just closed the window and it's over!"

Jinyue and other girls feared that Jia Huan would blame her, so they hurriedly said, "It's not the first time I moved, didn't I have nothing to do a few days ago? I'm afraid we made a joke and let someone listen to it. I really think it's the treasure of Ganoderma lucidum fairy grass , that’s why I came here to steal!!”

Some people also said, "There are only so many people in our villa, and the master brought back a lot of treasures. There has never been such a thing."

Jia Huan couldn't help asking, "That's right, who came outside today?" Xiuyun was crying so hard that she could hardly stand, but it was Jinyue who answered for her, "Only Fourth Master Long sent someone here, but they didn't go there at all. Come here, just put the things in the door and leave."

Xiuyun knelt down and kowtowed, "I have served my brother for so many years, I dare not say that everything is done well, and I have never made such a big mistake. Now I have no face to say anything else, and I don't know what I got back. What rare flowers, tell me where there are more, I will find another one for my brother no matter what!"

Xiuyun has been with Jia Huan since she was a child, and has always been loyal and upright, unlike the Xiren in Baoyu's room, she never wanted to post about Jia Huan becoming an aunt, and the little girls in the villa admired her, so Seeing her kneeling, they also knelt down one after another.

Jia Huan couldn't bear to criticize Xiuyun, so he quickly pulled her up and said, "Why is this? It's not a precious thing. Those are just my jokes to coax you. They are actually ordinary flowers and plants. I just wanted to raise them on a whim. , Now it’s fine if you can’t find it now. Don’t cry, it’s how many years we have been together since childhood, how have you ever seen you cry like this!! Jinyue has not come to help your sister, go back and freshen up.”

For a while the crowd dispersed, Jia Huan couldn't help but smile wryly to himself, these two days he saw a small bud sprouting from that parasitic weed, and then gradually pushed up two tender green bud leaves, he didn't know what it was like, now Losing it is out of sight and out of mind, and I simply think about life and death, wealth and honor, and poverty beyond human power, so I really don't take it seriously.

Unexpectedly, at the time when Langhuan Mountain Villa was turning upside down looking for that parasitic weed, Shui Lang gently stroked the young leaves in the flower pot in front of him in the bedroom, and suddenly asked, "You said that One monk and one are very supernatural, why didn't they find you peeping from the side?"

A masked man knelt down below and said, "I can't be sure that they don't know, but Mrs. Jia will never notice. Those two people's movements are very strange, and they seem to shrink to an inch. The slave immediately sent someone I have been pursued from four directions but have not caught up, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Shui Lang said, "There are people beyond people, and there is sky beyond the sky, so I can't blame you. Go down." After finishing speaking, he picked up another small jade watering can, and carefully and gently watered the potted flower.
