Through the Ring of Red Mansions

After Jia's house was properly settled, some relatives and friends gradually came to greet her. Grand Concubine Beijing also sent someone to ask Jiamu and Daiyu. It's better for your mother to go." Daiyu replied, "Our family had something to do before, and I was afraid that going would make my godmother embarrassed, so even if I think about it, I don't want to go. Now it's okay to go back and see you." Jiamu ordered He packed some good things and asked Baoyu to accompany Daiyu to the Beijing Palace the next day.

In addition, Yingchun and Xiangyun also went back to Jia's mansion to visit, and when they met Jia's mother and others, they couldn't help but cried again.Everyone hurriedly came up to persuade, and Jia's mother boasted to the people from Jinxiangbo's house, "Grandpa Han is a good person, and the second girl is all for his forgiveness. I know our children best. They are good-hearted, and they are good-natured. I can also do a little work, but I don’t talk much, even if there are those who are filial and kind, they don’t show it much.”

The mothers-in-law of the Han family laughed and said, "Old Feng Jun is too modest, our uncle is not talkative, he just likes to draw quietly and play chess quietly, the girls in the room are a little louder Then he was too noisy, only the big grandma would take his temper!"

At noon, a table was set up in the inner courtyard, and Yingchun Xiangyun sat beside Jiamu, Li Wan and Sister Feng held the pot, and Tanchun was with her.Outside, Jia Lian and Jia Huan ate wine with the two sons-in-law, and there was no drama at all.The two sons-in-law both paid attention to it, and neither of them mentioned these things, they just talked about how to revive the family business in the future and so on.

Let's say that after dinner, the members of the Han family and the Wei family bid their farewell and went back.Everyone was praising the two uncles in front of Jia Mu, when suddenly someone came back and said, "There are two inner ministers who want to see the master."

Jia Mu and others didn't know what was going on, so they hurriedly sent people out to inquire. After a while, Lin Zhixiao's family came back and said, "Two father-in-laws have come to announce that our mother-in-law is not well recently. Yesterday, I ordered two people to come in." Inquiry. I think it must be for nothing else, it must be caused by worrying about the affairs in the mansion."

At that time, Jia Zheng came in and said, "Xu each took one of the girls, and the rest were not used. The relatives were only allowed to hand over their job titles outside the palace gate. Please listen to me and don't enter without permission. You are allowed to enter at Chensi tomorrow and come out at Shenyou." " Having said that, Jia's mother said, "That's why I went with the third wife, and Huan'er will go to the Imperial Academy tomorrow, so I can just go on my own errands. You can take Lian'er and Baoyu with you." So quickly pack it up.

Jia Huan remembered the appointment with Shui Lang in his heart, thinking that now it is not only three or five days, but he has lived in the study outside for seven or eight days. Since Jia's mother asked him to go to the errand, he hastily excused that there are still documents and official letters. After putting it in the villa, I had to go back and pack it up, so I took the inkstone and waited back to the villa.

He kept waiting for dinner, but he didn't see Shui Lang coming over. Jia Huan only said that he saw that he hadn't come back for several days, so he thought it was still the same today, so he didn't come. He hesitated for a while, not knowing Should he go to the palace from the secret passage, but he didn't know where it was, and it was too late to go to Huguo Temple at this time, so he simply let go of this matter, washed up and went to bed.

I don't know how long he fell asleep, but Jia Huan felt in a daze all over his body hot and hot. He wished he could take off all his underwear, but his eyes were lazy, but as he was flipping on the bed, he suddenly felt that the bottom of his legs It was scorching hot, which made him shiver uncontrollably, and he gradually woke up. By the light outside, he saw Shui Lang crouching on top of his head and looking at him with a smile, his eyes seemed to be set on fire.

Jia Huan knew what was going on no matter how sleepy he was, and seeing that his clothes had all flown off at some point, he couldn't help feeling ashamed and annoyed, kicking Shui Lang with his foot and saying, "How can you learn from that burglary?" The human flower picker is here?!"

Shui Lang slowly entered the alley, and was about to speak when Xiu Yun outside asked half-awake, "Brother Huan, do you want some water?"

Jia Huan was taken aback, only then did he realize that today he was not sleeping in the inner study, but in his own bedroom, but his voice might have been louder just now.Hearing the movement of Xiuyun getting up in his clothes, he couldn't help being embarrassed, Pian Shuilang was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and Jia Huan gritted his teeth and said, "No... you go to sleep!" But at this time the voice was hoarse Lingering, very different from usual.Fortunately, Xiuyun had just woken up, so she didn't hear it, so she walked up to the screen and asked, "Is it hot? How about I fan you and make sure you cover your stomach."

Jia Huan could hear the gasping in his ear, as if he was about to be activated at any moment, but he was involuntarily nervous, which added fuel to the fire, and he tried his best to calm down and said, "No, I'm sleepy. , you blow out the lamp, go to sleep quickly."

Xiuyun then turned off the lamp in her hand, re-poured hot water and gently put it on the bedside table before going out.

Jia Huan heaved a sigh of relief, he wished he could kick Shui Lang to the ground and beat him up, but he felt his waist hanging in the air, he was kicked hard twice, he hurriedly put his arms around Shui Lang's shoulders, pressed it to his ears and lowered it. The voice begged, "Be gentle..." Fortunately, he placed a very heavy huanghuali wooden box bed in the bedroom, not a hollow frame bed, so no movement was heard.Jia Huan didn't know how he got here all night. When he woke up drowsily in the morning, he still felt a little hot on his body, and lay down again. Seeing that the sky outside the curtains was already very white, he just couldn't struggle.

After a while, Jinyue came in with Caiyun and Caiyi, and said in surprise, "Why is sister Xiuyun still asleep? Hasn't Brother Huan been woken up yet? Moyan and the others have prepared the horses outside!"

Xiuyun herself was also very puzzled, she didn't have time to think about it for a while, she hurriedly put on her clothes and said, "It's broken! Why did I fall asleep?!" While tying up her clothes, she came in and called Jia Huan, and Jin Yue hurriedly followed in to serve, When he got to the inner room, he couldn't help saying, "How much incense did you smoke last night, why is there such a strong aroma?"

Xiuyun thought for a while in doubt, "This incense is still the strange incense given by Fourth Master Long. Brother Huan said that it is worth a thousand pieces of gold. I am usually very reluctant to use it, and I didn't think about lighting it up yesterday!"

Jia Huan thought that it was probably used by Shui Lang to cover up the smell, and hurriedly said, "I ordered it, you don't have to be busy, go and call the ink inkstone."

When they heard Jia Huan talking very lazily, they thought he was not feeling well, so they hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, brother, why don't you ask someone to invite Dr. Liu to have a look?"

Jia Huan said, "You don't need to raise the curtains. My eyes are uncomfortable. Call Mo Yan first, and I'll let him go to the Imperial Academy for leave."

Xiuyun Jinyue is now grown up, and gradually has a good understanding of personnel affairs. She usually pays great attention to these details. Seeing that Jia Huan refused to let the curtain be raised, she guessed that there must be some inconvenience, and it was not easy to ask, and she also thought of delaying Getting a job is a big deal, so I hurried out and called Mo Yan.

Jia Huan first sent Moyan to the Hanlin Academy to take a leave of absence for himself, and then rested for a while, then ordered someone to prepare water for a bath and put it on. Still feeling very tired, he leaned on the couch outside to read and listen to Xiuyun Brocade Yue and these girls were working and joking on the corridor.When he was young, Mo Yan came back and reported, "I have already presented the fake book to Mr. Fang. He was very polite, he only said it was not in the way, and said that it would be a good thing for him to go through a few hurdles at a young age!! He even gave it to Mr. Fang Let me bring back a seven-character poem by Laoshizi." As he approached, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Jia Huan's eyes and eyebrows, and he felt suspicious.

Jia Huan didn't pay attention to what was going on in Mo Yan's stomach. He saw a piece of Confucianism and literati made by the academician in charge of the academy. If you write poems at the conference, if you return some other things, I'm afraid people will talk about it." In the end, I cobbled together a poem that barely fits from the poems I read in later generations, and sent someone to send it over without mentioning it.

In the afternoon, there were people at the door saying that the fourth master Long had come, and Mo Yan had to watch carefully because he had thoughts at noon. Resting for a while, if Fourth Master Long has something to do, you might as well go and do it before coming back."

Shui Lang suddenly asked her with a smile, "Your name is Xiuyun?"

Although Xiuyun recognized Shui Lang, she couldn't help being very embarrassed, and suddenly she heard Shui Lang laughing and said, "I heard from Huan'er that you are a good girl who serves you very wholeheartedly. In the future, I will definitely give you a generous dowry so that I can marry you off." .”

Xiuyun and the others didn't know Shui Lang's identity, but Moyan Qingxiao knew it, and couldn't help but be surprised when she heard this, Qingxiao asked in a low voice, "It's amazing, sister Xiuyun has the blue eyes of this person, so don't worry about it in the future It's gone..." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a bang in Jia Huan's room, and he didn't know what had fallen to the ground.

Shui Lang smiled and said, "I'm probably awake." As he said that, he went in, Xiuyun was waiting to stop, Mo Yanqing and Xiao hurried over and laughed, "Congratulations to sister Xiuyun! Fourth Master Long has always said his word, and my sister will definitely do it in the future." It's a good thing!" Xiuyun said in annoyance, "I'll hit you two itchy things!!" Chased after him and beat him hard.

Jia Huan heard that they were making trouble outside, so he said bitterly to Shui Lang who entered the room, "What did you mean just now! Are you still very complacent? See if you can still be like this from now on!"

Shui Lang sat down beside him and said, "Why don't you count that you are a few days late? Let me run around every day."

Because Jia Huan forgot about it for a while, when he said it, he was speechless for a while, so he had to argue, "That's not a certain number of days! Besides, even if you are tired and run a few times, you can't do that... If she was dead yesterday What can I do if she comes in at night, even if she doesn't come in, how many times have I told you that you are not enough!! Almost taught me to get up in the morning and lose face!"

Shui Lang smiled and said, "If you keep your word next time, you won't be like this." Then he rubbed Jia Huan's waist and asked, "Is it still uncomfortable now?" Jia Huan glanced at him and said, "You Rub it for me again. I can’t tell them, my back has been sore for a long time.”

Shui Lang smiled, kneaded Jia Huan even more forcefully, and asked, "Your imperial concubine was ill a few days ago, do you know?"

Jia Huan said, "Why don't you know. Didn't the decree let us go in to pay our respects today? The old lady asked me to go to the Imperial Academy, but I didn't go anywhere!"

Shui Lang smiled and said, "When I just left the palace, I heard that Mrs. Shi fainted from Concubine Jia's palace. I don't know what happened, but the imperial doctor is ready." Jia Huan heard the words Surprised, he quickly sat up and wanted to ask what happened.
