Through the Ring of Red Mansions

Jia's family was [-]% accurate because of Yuanchun's visit to relatives. At one time, it was "going to Gusu to hire teachers, buy girls, and buy musical instruments." Bamboo planting and flowering, as well as spotting scenery and other things." All of them got busy up and down, "I can't write a single stroke, but it's just very noisy and lively."

Jia Huan also found a day when Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang were both present, and took out a silver note of 5 taels, pretending to be shy and saying, "It's a good thing for big sister, our family is so busy. I have heard that the shop jointly run by the master and someone outside, although the shares are not much, but it still has income, and now the money is added to the public account, and the family has such a big garden. It is useless to think about it. It’s just a little thought on my part.”

Mother Jia was satisfied in her heart, but smiled kindly on her face, "Look at your child, you can use your money anywhere. Hurry up and put it away, and save it to marry a wife in the future."

Sister Feng also joked from the side, "I didn't realize before that Brother Huan is actually a rich man, so let's be honest, you are young, with whom did you set up a shop outside, and what did you talk about opening a few days ago?" In the library, your Lian's second elder brother came back and said that the scholars outside are now thinking about the merits and virtues of our house. The library is so tall and so big, and there are thousands of books in it, all of which are for nothing. "

This time, because Qin Zhong was seriously ill, Baoyu went out to visit Qin Zhong. Sanchun only talked and laughed with Daiyu and Baochai in Jia's mother's room. I also heard from Mammy that you have set up some collection hall, the books in it are all for nothing, and all the pens, inks, papers and inkstones can be used casually, it is a business that only pays but not earns, why bother to get that thing."

Jia Huan smiled and took out a set of arguments that he had made up in advance, "Don't tell me that, I'm just a foil for others. The major shareholder was originally from the same year as me (Jinshi in the same discipline), and I would like to congratulate you now." Brother-in-law of Wangfei's family, just listen to it, don't tell others, people like them have many taboos."

Jia Mu nodded and said, "That's the truth. The children of our scholarly family are doing some business outside by themselves, but it's just a trick. Even you, Huan'er, don't need to come out in person."

Mrs. Wang and Baochai paused, Jia Huan got up and listened, and replied, "The grandson respects the old lady's teachings. In fact, most of the shops are managed by Yang Xiong, but the Huihui hall is different from other people. The shops are different, and they must be looked after by someone who can speak well. My one year old was inconvenient to show up, so he put me on the top, because I thought that this matter would be good for our family's reputation, so I decided to I should."

After finishing speaking, she repeatedly asked Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng to accept the bank note. Ms. Wang was afraid that Jia Mu would give up again, and she really saved the silver for Jia Huan. She hurriedly motioned to Sister Feng to take the bank note and shook it affectionately. Jia Huan said with his hand, "My son, it's hard for you to feel this kind of heart. When your eldest sister in the palace finds out, she must be very happy."

Naturally, Jia Huan and Mrs. Wang put a lot of effort into it. Afterwards, the whole family heard that Mr. Huan had directly taken 5 taels of silver to subsidize the public accounts of the mansion. The shop they partnered with was extremely profitable, and it was much more expensive than Baoyu, the phoenix egg that Mrs. Jia Muwang only looked at beautifully in front of. Everyone scrambled to flatter Aunt Zhao and Jia Huan.

Only Aunt Zhao heard about this, and finally ran to Jia Huan to make a fuss, hating him for being so generous to Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng. Tanchun wanted to persuade him, but Jia Huan threw another fluffy paper from his sleeve. The 5000 taels came to Aunt Zhao and said, "Auntie's vision is too shallow. What is 5 taels worth? You can't sleep with so much money in your arms? Let's take the pocket money first. Then look at the clothes you are wearing now." In addition to not being able to wear red, which point is worse than others?"

Aunt Zhao and Tanchun were stunned for a moment, and Jia Huan said again, "Auntie, don't be happy when you see silver, and don't be wronged because you can't wear red. You can relax and live your life. There will be better times than this in the future. Wait for your son In the future, you will be appointed as a marquis and worshiped as a minister, and you will have to earn a bright red dress for you, but now you can only give them a little money, what is it?"

Aunt Zhao was speechless, tears rolled down her eyes for a while, and she cried, "My dear, if there is such a day, even if I die immediately."

Tanchun's eyes were red when he said it, and he said, "What did Auntie say? At the beginning, Huan'er said that she wanted to be named on the gold list, and she really won Tanhua. Now she said that she would earn you an imperial order, and you don't know that he can't? It's here. On that day, maybe we girls can still sit together openly, and I don't need it, I will secretly hold a heart for you all day long..."

The mother and daughter hugged together and burst into tears. Jia Huan knew that Aunt Zhao had always been thinking about Tanchun, but she was powerless and couldn't figure it out. Therefore, Jia Huan deliberately wooed Tanchun. They are siblings from the same mother, but it's just for the heart of Aunt Zhao, who is a mother.

Besides, Jia Huan persuaded the two of them with great difficulty, and called Xiuyun, Jinyue, Caiyun and Caiyi to pack them up for them, and sent them back, and took a small bag of broken silver about fifteen or six taels for Tanchun to take. He said, "My sister has a lot of people there, and I don't need much money, so it's better to bring some odds and ends. If you want to eat or play, you can just ask the little servants on the second gate to buy them and take the silver." Block their mouths, and no one can see anything."

After the ears settled down, and I don't know how long it took, Long Si sent someone to say that he had chosen two houses for Jia Huan, and asked him to go to see them together. When he came back, Jia Huan asked him to unload the pearls directly to the "Jinxiu Pavilion" jewelry store, and asked Long Si to go and see the pearls first.

Four of Yang Xiong's men were bodyguards of the Longsi faction, and they seemed to be Kong Wu's powerful and not easy to provoke. They returned with a large cart of pearls, and the journey was uneventful.

Because the longest pearls in this batch have been raised for nearly three years, and the shortest one is one and a half years, and the round base is used, so most of the grown pearls are round and look extremely gorgeous.

Jia Huan and Long Si looked at the scene and gave people a rough nod. Among them, there were a lot of white beads the size of a thumb, a small pile of gold beads, a pile of pure pink beads, purple beads, and colored beads that were not pure in color. , next to a box of white pearls of a smaller size, gold beads mixed with colorful beads filled half the box, and three boxes of pearls of a smaller size and the size of soybeans, and countless rice beads.

Yang Xiong and the others had seen the scene of the pearl harvest, and their faces were quite calm, but the designers who were busy counting the pearls in the workshop and Long Si's two personal attendants were almost dazzled by the jewels in the room, and were dumbfounded. Can't speak half a word.

Long Si's face was also rarely moved, but Jia Huan was unexpectedly proud, and ordered the two jewelry masters who were a little slow to respond, "Pick out some colored beads of fourth-class size, and make five sets of necklaces and pearl flower earrings. Make two sets of fourth-class white beads, one set of third-class colorful beads, three sets of third-class gold beads, and one set of second-class gold beads. You can play whatever you want, but the style of the gold beads is more solemn. After a few days When it’s done, I’ll send someone to pick it up.”

He asked Long Si again, "Brother Long Si, do you want to give away anything, and told them together, this batch of beads is for us to use immediately, and the rest is enough to make a few limited edition clothes and jewelry, it is enough for everything."

Long Sidao, "In that case, make me a set of first-class gold beads and two sets of second-class gold beads." After speaking, he smiled and said, "Huan'er, you said you bought two treasures at the beginning. Pearl field, now it seems that your pearl field is too big?"

Jia Huan didn't answer with a smile, and was about to take Long Si out, Master Cheng and Master Li in the jewelry store hurriedly said, "Master, go slowly, now that there are so many beads, why don't you choose a batch for Master to practice with?"

Master Li also smiled and said, "But it's been a long time since I saw the handwriting of the third master. Now that there are such good materials, wouldn't it be a pity not to make gestures?"

Jia Huan laughed and said, "The ones I painted are so good? What's more, I have a lot of things to do now, and I have to go to see the new garden with Fourth Brother Long. Let's talk about it later."

Master Cheng said, "That's fine too, the little ones will choose a batch of good beads for the master to prepare, and then do it when you have time?"

Jia Huan pretended not to hear, and dragged Long Si to run away.

The two rode to the Xishan Mountain in the suburbs of the capital that Long Si mentioned. At the foot of the Xishan Mountain, there were mostly summer resorts for the royal relatives. I like it. I finally chose a courtyard with hot springs near the foot of the mountain. There is a lake not far from the courtyard. I heard that it used to be the other courtyard of a princess in the previous dynasty. The entire courtyard is like a garden. The meaning of Long Si is also inclined. Yu said in this yard, "I only like the hot spring in this yard. You are always afraid of the cold in winter. With the hot spring steaming, I think winter will be much easier."

Jia Huan didn't want this emperor in the world to say such caring and warm words, and the expression on his face was so real, he couldn't help but smile brightly, "Thank you, brother four, for thinking of me so much, brother, I am really grateful, since that's the case. In the future, I must leave a room for my fourth brother in this garden, when my fourth brother gets tired of living at home, I can come here to relax, and my younger brother will sweep the couch to welcome you."

Long Si paused while leading Jia Huan to watch, lowered his eyes to avoid the clear eyes of the dazzling man in front of him, and said with a single smile, "Okay!"

The two walked around the whole courtyard, and Jia Huan's servant Mo Yan, Qing Xiao and Long Si's entourage were all far away. Because Jia Huan decided that this was the courtyard, he asked Long Si, "I don't know where this is?" How much silver is the owner of the yard planning to pay, I want to decide as soon as possible and decorate it as soon as possible."

But Long Si said, "If your family knows that you bought this yard, can you move out freely?"

Jia Huan couldn't help but smiled bitterly, "Of course that's impossible, but I'm just thinking that I'll sneak here every now and then."

Long Siyin said, "Come here every now and then, don't you let down the beauty of this place. If so, you don't care about everything else, I will let this yard fall into your name in a legitimate way, no one dares Come and get it. It’s just that after it’s done, Huan’er remembers to thank me well.”
