Love of Friends in the Red Chamber

After eating and drinking, Jia Cong obediently fell asleep again, and when he woke up, he felt that he was full of strength and wanted to go outside for a stroll.Cai Mama made a fuss and stopped him to rest, so Jia Cong no longer insisted on going. He thought that he came to this well-regulated place. Although he was still a child, he couldn't lie on the kang without knowing everything. He only thought that he would easily forget things if he bumped his head, so let Nanny Cai re-teach him everything about the family's population, temperament, and etiquette.

Mammy Cai originally protected Jia Cong because she was young and ignorant, and instead annoyed him. When she was kicked out earlier, he didn't intercede with the old lady, so she felt a little cold. Later, when Jia Cong had an accident, she felt distressed and blamed herself. In addition, Jia Cong seemed to have grown up by several years now, and her heart became more and more ironic. While doing needlework, he told Jia Cong all the personnel affairs in the mansion, no matter how big or small.

Although Jia Cong's body is a 13-year-old child, his inner body is an adult who is nearly 30 years old. Although he appears to be inexperienced because of his poor background, he has been able to graduate from a farmer's family all the way to a prestigious graduate school, and was even hired as a teaching assistant by BJ University Well, the IQ is already higher than that of ordinary people, and he can usually look up and down, and he is the most pleasing to others.So in a short time, he paid attention to the masters and slaves of Ningrong and Rongfu, and the tricks inside and out.It's just that he was worried that he would go out rashly and show his feet, so he just pushed his injuries and hid in his room to recuperate.Fortunately, the people from the two prefectures made a fuss about picking up the driver. After staying for fifteen years, everyone was exhausted, and it took several days to pack up their belongings. Who would think of Jia Cong?So in the first month, no one came to visit him, and of course no one came to bother him.

Only Mrs. Xing sent a little maid to bring Jia Cong a reward from a noble concubine: on one end of the table gift, a pair of golden pens with "Ruyi pen ingots".Jia Cong looked at the gift, and saw that it was a piece of azurite silk tapestry, colorful and dazzling, so dazzling that people couldn't open their eyes. He knew it was a good thing, and he just wanted to be happy, but Nanny Cai was careful, so he questioned the little girl. Maid: "Is this the same as other men?" The little maid replied: "Master Cong and Master Huan are the same, and Master Bao is the same as the girls. Each of them has a new book, Baoyan, Jin Two pairs of silver pegs each."

Cai Momo was not happy, sent the maid out, and came back and said to Jia Cong: "Why doesn't my brother get the same things as the second master Bao, but the same as the third master Huan? The third master Huan was born by my aunt." , my brother was born to the second wife who is serious, and he is only a shoulder behind the wife of the first house..."

Although Jia Cong knew that Nanny Cai was dedicated to protecting him, he didn't want to hear her nagging about the status of the aunt in the backyard, so he sent her to the big kitchen on the pretext that he wanted some snacks.I also appreciate the makeup satin in my hand and the two golden and heavy golden pegs.He suddenly remembered that the children of rich families used to have some private money, so he rummaged through the boxes, wanting to see how rich his little coffers were.

Jia Cong lives in a small side courtyard next to Mrs. Xing's main house. The courtyard is not big because it was originally separated from the garden. There are a few lower rooms where people live, but the flowers and trees in the courtyard are very luxuriant, with various flower trees and grape trellises.The inner part of the main room is the bedroom, and the outer part is the study room. In the study room, there is no shortage of collections of scriptures and history on the shelves. There are many pens, inks, papers and inkstones on the desk. In addition, there is nothing valuable, which shows that the original Jia Cong was also ignorant.There are only a few cabinets in the room, and Jia Cong has a good idea of ​​his property status after looking through it a little.

All his belongings, except his clothes, are in a small box.Jia Cong counted, and there were three gold scorpions and six or seven silver scorpions, all of which weighed about one or two taels.A small box contained some scattered silver, about five or sixty taels, and some jade ornaments and gold hairpins, about a dozen kinds. He was watching, and Nanny Cai came back with a plate of butter and pine rolls. , Seeing him playing with these things, he sighed: "Brother, your aunt only left you with these thoughts. Although they are not worth much, they were saved for you when she was alive. Don't sell them easily. Spend it, buy some gadgets, but I can’t see any use.”

Jia Cong agreed with a smile: "Mother, I just want to see, where is the waste?" It turns out that Jia Cong's monthly salary is two taels of silver, and there are two little girls under his name, each of which is five hundred coins. After entering the family school with Baoyu last year, I still have eight taels of silver to buy paper, pens and snacks every year.Jia Cong was young, so it was inevitable that he would be coaxed by the servants who followed him. Cai Mama couldn't see it, so she stopped him, offended someone, attracted taboos, and was pushed back home. Fortunately, she was called in again.

Jia Cong nodded secretly. It has been two days since he came here, and only Nanny Cai came in and out, and the two little girls under his name were not even seen. It can be seen that his master has no authority, and Nanny Cai is the only one. Nostalgia is reliable.It wasn't until late in the evening that the two maids in his room, Xiao Die and Xiao Mo, came back with a smile on their face. They didn't care when they saw Jia Cong in the room, and only went back to help Ping Er, the eldest girl of Lian's second grandma. The girl went to tidy things up, and each of them still held the fruit and hundreds of copper coins that were rewarded from above, making Madam Cai so angry that she snorted.Jia Cong didn't know how to spend his master's money, so he didn't bother with them and waved them off.

Until the end of the first lunar month, Jia Cong reckoned that his illness would be cured, so he packed up and went to Mrs. Xing to report his well-being.Mrs. Xing had always disliked this concubine, and when she saw that he was well, she scolded him for being naughty, and took him to greet Mother Jia.Jia Cong cheered up and came to Jiamu's yard.Only when he got here did he realize that the courtyard he lived in was really shabby, and he couldn't blame Cai Nanny for always complaining. The only thing is that Jia Cong can call him by name.

Mrs. Xing invited Anbi and told Jia Mu about Jia Cong's injury. Jia Mu didn't even look at Jia Cong, but only expressed a few words of concern on her face, told him not to be mischievous again, and rewarded him with a Persian ship. Music box toy, sent him out to play in the yard.

Jia Cong had no choice but to run into the yard to tease the litter of pugs raised in Jia's mother's courtyard without being an eyesore to his ancestors. When he was hugging a snow-white Pekingese and touching his nose, he was lucky enough to see Jia, the protagonist of the Dream of Red Mansions. Baoyu and Lin Daiyu, these two came right to each other, affectionately, and the beautiful maidservants hugged each other, surrounded by pearls and emerald greens. Jia Cong's attitude was in stark contrast.

But Jia Cong didn't care about the attitude of the maids. He was stunned by Lin Daiyu's beauty. In his last life, he had seen many beauties—of course in TV shows—and those movie stars were nothing compared to Lin Daiyu. Vulgar and vulgar fans, that temperament, that posture, that appearance... It really is "the heart is more open than the dry, and the disease is like Xizi's three points".

He just opened his mouth blankly, stood in the yard with the dog in his arms, probably shed a drop of haha, and even forgot to say hello - the rule of Jia's mansion is that the younger brother should salute the older brother.Fortunately, Baoyu never cared about these clichés. He glanced at Jia Cong and said with a smile: "Brother Cong, if you hold the dog like this, be careful that it bites your nose—I fell down a while ago, and now I am even more dazed." Daiyu didn't say anything, she probably only had brother Bao in her eyes, and she smiled at Baoyu, and Jia Cong's soul flew into the air, and when he came back to his senses, Bao and Dai had already entered the house.

I just heard Jiamu's smiling voice in the room asking the two people whether they were cold, whether they were good or not, what they were playing, and whether they had any snacks, and then saw Yuanyang, the big maid in Jiamu's room, come out Order, let the kitchen bring rock sugar lotus seed soup and butter chestnut powder, and then said to Jia Cong indifferently: "Master Cong, the eldest lady has ordered you to go back by yourself. Today, the eldest lady will stay to serve the old lady." Ma'am, don't delay your dinner."

It turned out that Jia Cong didn't have anything to do here whether it was for snacks or dinner. Jia Cong didn't feel neglected. He needed to find a quiet place to digest the shock of seeing the beauty for the first time, so as not to make a fool of himself.

Back in her small courtyard, Nanny Cai had already brought Jia Cong's regular dishes to the room. Jia Cong was a little out of his wits and was willing to take a couple bites, so he sent everyone out, saying that he wanted to be quiet for a while.Cai Momo gave him a worried look, and led the maids back out.Jia Cong fell down on the kang in large characters. After calm thinking, he found that the task he took on to make Sister Lin rich and honorable was very difficult, because it was obvious that Sister Lin's current situation was a sure thing. Her heels couldn't keep up, and it seemed that it was not her turn to be the flower protector.

He suddenly remembered Professor Dong's parting words - everything is waiting for her to arrange.Thinking of this, he suddenly sat up: If Professor Dong crossed over, where would she go?

In the days that followed, Jia Cong seemed to have regained his active nature before the injury. Every day he ran around in the garden in the mansion. Madam Cai thought he was back to his old ways, so she sighed secretly. How could she know that Jia Cong was looking for someone? ——Find Professor Dong.

It is very hard to find someone, and you will be scolded by people—mainly Madam Xing—Jia Cong has been able to memorize Madam Xing's lack of creativity: "Where did you find a live monkey! Your nanny You're dead, and I won't take care of you, you're black-browed and black-mouthed, you don't look like a kid who's going to school!" But as a pseudo-boy with a mature mind, Jia Cong certainly wouldn't treat a man with a twisted and perverted mind. The old woman took her words to heart. He was worried that Professor Dong hadn't left the slightest trace in this world of red chambers—it doesn't feel good to not be able to find an organization.

Jia Cong was determined to wait, waiting for Professor Dong to appear. Of course, in the process of waiting, he did not forget Professor Dong's parting words--everything is inferior, only reading is high.As a concubine who is not popular and has no right to inherit property, if he wants to get ahead in the future, in such a world, the only way is the imperial examination.

As a former senior academic master, Jia Cong said that Yali is not big.
