Through the Ring of Red Mansions

It is said that Jia Huan has been in bed for more than a month, and after a long time of careful cultivation, Fang Jue has recovered some of his old spirit.Youshi Jiarong went back to Beijing for the funeral because of Jia's mother's affairs. Now seeing Jia Huan's recovery, Jia Zheng's worry was over, and the weather was getting warmer, so he discussed with Jia Zheng, "I don't know when our master will be pardoned. They had just stabilized their heels over there, and met the old lady again, and rushed back non-stop, and now they are worried. The old lady's coffin will return to the south sooner or later, so it is better to take advantage of the warm weather and help the coffin back to the south Burial."

Jia Zheng thought of Baoyu's filial piety, and Enke would not be able to catch up with the Spring Festival, so he might as well take him out for a walk and gain some knowledge along the way, but Jia Huan was just better, so he didn't want to take him long Lu ran around, so he said: "My idea is decided, but the uncle is not at home, and Lian'er should follow. There are only a few people left here, so you don't need to take care of them, and you don't need to stay at home even more. It's not in vain for the old lady to dote on him if I send him off. It's fine for Huan'er to stay and look after the house."

Jia Lian, Baoyu and Jia Huan all agreed, and Daiyu and Sister Feng had to make careful preparations at home, especially since Baodai was separated for the first time since they got married, and she still had a lot of reluctance to part with her.Baoyu asked Jia Huan specifically, "It's safe to have you sitting at home. It's hard for you to hide it from me, but if you think about it, you shouldn't be allowed to talk about that person's identity elsewhere. I didn't go to school that year. Xin, I can't remember clearly, I think there is probably no disrespect?"

Jia Huan laughed and said, "Not really. Besides, those who don't know are not guilty, and he is not someone who likes to find excuses to commit crimes."

Baoyu saw that his tone was very casual when he talked about today's day, and he couldn't help feeling a little envious in his heart, but he always avoided economic and official careers like a scourge. It's gone.He only said to Jia Huan, "This time I will go out with my father for a few months before I come back. I need your help to take care of my place..."

Although Baoyu is tired and ignorant, he has grown older in the past two years, and he doesn't just blindly know some Yangchun Baixue, and he has also heard about Mrs. Wang's swallowing of Daiyu's inheritance, but he dare not share his certificate with Mrs. Wang or Daiyu, for fear of both parties. The rift between people only increases.

Seeing that his speech was vague, Jia Huan didn't point it out, so he smiled and said, "There are Lian's second sister-in-law and third sister at home, they and the second sister-in-law are used to joking and talking together, not to mention you have Zijuan Qingwen and The mothers and sisters will be your companions, I will take care of you outside, and the second elder brother just don't worry." Baoyu then smiled, and then went to Sister Feng, Li Wan and Tanchun to beg one by one, and all three of them agreed to tell Daiyu every day Speaking, he put a "nothing busy" heart into his stomach.

Jia Zheng then told the third wife that she was the only elder with status left in the inner courtyard, so he asked her to take care of her in the inner courtyard.Then I chose the day of Fayin's long journey, "Farewell to the ancestral hall, and read scriptures outside the city for a few days, then Fayin disembarked and took Lin Zhixiao and others away. There was no alarm to relatives and friends, only the men and women of my family sent me a ride return."

Not two days after Jia Zheng took Baoyu away, the third wife discussed with Tanchun, "That woman was originally ordered by the master to be imprisoned in the ancestral hall, and she was released to keep her filial piety when she met the old lady. The coffin has also returned to the south, so I was thinking how to find a way to lock her back!"

Tanchun couldn't help persuading her earnestly, "Mother, why do these things happen again? Don't you know that the master is showing Baoyu face? Besides, now that Baoyu is away, how can the second sister-in-law let you do this? When Baoyu comes back, don't you blame the second sister-in-law for not doing her best?" Don't ask the second sister-in-law to act like a princess, you have to make trouble so that everyone loses face!"

The third wife couldn't help but proudly said, "Hmph, I'm afraid that little girl of hers won't make it? How can the house not see? When Huan'er was sick, even the current emperor came to visit in person. You talk about the gift of ginseng, bird's nest, and caterpillar fungus." How many times? When Huan'er is fully served, she will definitely be reused again and again, isn't it much better than their Baoyu?!"

Tanchun sighed, "After all, she is miserable enough now. Baoyu and the second sister-in-law have always respected you. Mom just doesn't look at the monk's face or the Buddha's face. What's more, there will be trouble, and people outside will say that we girls are trampled on by power. The face of the second wife and the first room doesn't matter, don't say that Huan'er can't tolerate the brothers, that would be nice!! I'm afraid it won't be so easy to dismantle if it spreads to today's ears."

After hearing this, the third wife showed a serious expression of contemplation, but suddenly Jia Huan lifted the curtain and came in and asked, "What's not easy to dismantle?"

The third wife hurriedly took him to take off his shoes and sat next to her on the kang, and said with a smile, "What's the matter? I told your sister here just now that the two sachets from outside are embroidered with beautiful flowers." , I don’t know how it was embroidered, but I want to take it apart and have a look.”

Tanchun was peeling peanuts on the opposite side of the kang table, just smiling and not talking. Jia Huan grabbed a handful of peanut kernels from the tureen she had already peeled and ate them. They found them crispy and delicious, so she couldn't help but eat more. The third wife He said, "Is it because you're hungry? I asked them to set up a meal right now. Didn't I just say that you were meeting friends in the front? Why did you come back so soon?"

Jia Huan glanced at Tanchun and said, "What kind of friends will you meet? I seriously thought they were here to visit me, because they don't want to drink too much!"

Tanchun couldn't help but grabbed Peanut and threw it over, laughing and scolding, "What a heartless person! Why don't you say that for your sake, they invited back all the doctors who treated you back then, and how much they have spent for you? Recipe?!"

Jia Huan smiled and tugged at the clothes of the third wife, "Mom judges, why don't you help my brother-in-law?!"

At this time, the third wife really stretched her eyebrows and eyes, and said with a smile, "That's right, the third girl will bully your brother."

Tanchun was ashamed and annoyed at once, and he got down from the kang and said, "I'll leave soon, let's see who cares about you!"

Jia Huan hurriedly held her back and smiled, "My good sister, don't leave, there is still business to do! Dongfang Ming said that they are decorating the house over there, and specially asked Zhan Ziliang to draw a detailed pattern of Zhang Gongxi's terrace in his courtyard, so that I'll bring it in and show you if there's anything you need to delete..."

The third wife sighed, "This child is meticulous, he is a loving person. However, this happened to our family..."

Tanchun couldn't hold back a smile, and shook off Jia Huan's hand, "Why is it so important, I'll go and show you the food first, this precious phoenix egg, if you're hungry, I'm afraid my mother will punish me I'll make it for you to eat!" As he spoke, he lifted the curtain and went out.

After a while, Hu Po Shi Shu and Xiu Yun took the two little girls and put the food on the inner Kang table. The third wife, Tan Chun, and Jia Huan sat around the table. The hot ones are lily shrimp, rock sugar elbow, stewed eggs and gluten tofu, the four cold ones are shredded golden needle chicken, rouge goose breast, pepper oil water shield sauce and mandarin duck thin milk, served with green rice fragrant rice and a bowl of ham and fresh bamboo shoot soup And red dates and japonica rice porridge, because the Hundred Days of Filial Piety has been released now, meat and meat are placed on the dining table in the mansion again.

After eating in silence, the three of them got together to look at the courtyard pattern that Dongfang Min had brought. Although they didn't know where it was located in Weiyuan Hou's Mansion, a water system gable extended from the west side of the courtyard, which seemed to be next to each other. A garden.The whole courtyard is also very spacious and spacious. There are three main rooms on the front, three side rooms on the left and one on the right, and a building on the south side. Some strange grasses and fairy vines are planted in the courtyard, and the paintings are colorful and lovely. .

Because I went to look at the detailed pictures of the furnishings in each room, they were all very detailed. After reading it, the third wife said happily, "That's all, what else do I need to add? It's just polite to send it to us for a look." The meaning of etiquette, it’s not good to have to point fingers!”

Jia Huan said casually, "It's better to listen to what the third sister has to say."

Tanchun was also satisfied in his heart, but he didn't like to boast, his face was a bit ashamed, he lowered his head and looked at the picture again and again, Fang said, "I don't think there is any need to add anything."

Jia Huan said with a smile, "Since that's the case, sister, just take the picture back and look at it slowly, and I'll go out and return to my life!" It caused Tanchun to stare hard again.

For a while, he came out of the third wife's room and asked Fang Liang to report the results to Dongfang Ming. Jia Huan took Qing Xiao and Fang Ming to Jinxiu Restaurant to meet Yang Xiong.

Jia Huan had no free time during this period, Yang Xiong had already sorted out the results brought back by the Long March, Shenzhou, Huaxia, and Xuanyuan fleets for him, and Jia Huan picked up the item of textile looms. Said, "If this thing is not done well, many ordinary people's families will be ruined, so I want to be more cautious. Let's take our own Zhuangzi as an experiment first. After opening the weaving workshop, those who were robbed of business by the weaving workshop Farmers, whether they hire those who are diligent and honest and hire them in the weaving workshop, or arrange other livelihoods, we can’t make them have nothing to eat.”

"If there are any weaving fabrics that are produced, don't rush to sell them at low prices, and the sales scope will be limited to Jiangbei, or they will be sold outside North Korea or Japan. If there are those in the village who are jealous when they see weaving for money, they will also sell them. There must be strict rules for them, every household must not neglect to grow grain, and the whole family is not allowed to raise sheep or grow cotton, if it is not possible, we are responsible for subsidizing money and paying taxes for each household that grows grain..."

In addition, he wrote down the counterfeit machine tool in detail and ordered someone to send it to Shui Lang. Now that Daqing has just emerged the buds of capitalism, it is safer for lifeblood industries like heavy industry to be directly controlled by the imperial court.

The last big thing is to popularize the experience of the fleet sailing to the west and some simple knowledge of natural geography, mathematics, physics and chemistry. "Qingliu" and the contents criticized by the old antiques have all been deleted or revised, and the books are still printed in the name of educating the common people for free borrowing in the Huicui Pavilion.

I don't know how long it has been since I was busy. Jia Lian had returned from Jinling, and said that Jia Zheng would still stay in the south with Baoyu for a while, and because Gusu was very close to Jinling, he first took Baoyu to Gusu to worship. Sister-in-law Lin Ruhai and Daiyu heard it at home, but shed tears for a long time.
