A visit to Fangchun

In the evening of that day, Mrs. Wang pointed out something, pushed Caiyun away, and called Wu Xiang's family to come in. After talking carefully for a long time, she let her go out again.

The first month is a year.Not only Jia's mansion, the big event of visiting relatives in Jiaofang has finally passed in the capital, and every family has returned to the state of New Year's Eve.Singing opera, setting wine, New Year's tea, children have snacks and firecrackers, and they don't have to worry about making fun of themselves when they run around the street.

The Jia family is not exempt from customs.

The servants who were single in the mansion were cautiously brought to the mansion by their family members to pray and go home for a reunion dinner.For example, Ping'er attacked people.Those who stay in the house together with their masters not only get rewards, but also eat and drink different good things this year than before.For example, the musk moon waiting for a book.And the masters, in the name of the taboo of sewing, knives, and scissors in the first month, also joked wantonly, playing Go, wiping dominoes, and even throwing pots and dice, all kinds of games.

Baoyu went to banquets and drinks with Mrs. Xing and Wang Xifeng in the past few days. When she got bored, she played in front of Jia Mu and her sisters, or went quietly into the garden with Lin Daiyu. Being scolded by Jia Zheng, I feel very happy.

But in Jia Huan's eyes, his various actions and deeds turned him into a vegetarian, ignorant, playful, and absurd -- on what basis did he get so pampered by everyone?Even my third sister, every time I saw him, would always look at him with a broad and kind smile!

Since Jia Huan went to school, he has been faithfully following his servant and son. Seeing him unhappy these two days, he advised him in private: "Master, now you have the love of the second master and aunt, and the love of the third girl." Support is no worse than Second Master Bao. Why are you fighting for it? When we were all reincarnated, it was destined by God. He was born in the belly of his wife, and the mother is the sister. You were born in the belly of your aunt. , the third girl is the older sister. The younger me, I was born in the belly of a slave who was born at home, and I will be your slave—look, how can such a thing be won by fighting for it?"

After saying this, Jia Huan became more and more angry.

On the other hand, there was that servant who didn't know how to die, and when he was laughing at Jia Huan in private, he happened to overhear him: "This third master, although he is also from the generation of a master, but he doesn't have the fate of the second master of Jiabao. In addition, even the fate of the second master Lian is not as good as the fate of the second master Lian. Although the second master Lian lost his mother early, he is still the son of the first wife, and the second wife married on purpose. His niece was given to him, a royal family supported him, and he was entrusted to be born in the long room. From that day on, he will inherit the title of Rongguo Mansion. Even if it is Brother Lan left behind by Master Xianzhu, he is also from the grassroots generation of our Rong Mansion. The first noble person. Third Master Huan, haha, according to Second Mistress Lian, he is just a little frozen cat with singed hair, and there will be hot kangs and hot holes waiting for him to drill in the future!"

"If it's a matter of giving birth, it's a fate set by God in advance. But this third master doesn't even know when to get sick. You see, the day before yesterday, the mother went home to visit her relatives. It was such a big battle. Whether I can see the second time in my life, I have been talking twice. As a result, all the masters of the mansion went to meet, the big scene, the grandeur, the maids in the palace, the eunuchs, the eunuchs, and the teams. Rules, tsk tsk tsk! Only this third master is sick! Well, not only can't see the empress, but she can't get her to pat her head and call "brother", even the eunuchs and others dare not see the tail of their shirts .Why? Isn’t it because he is sick? I’m afraid that if he passes by, he will return to the palace in the future and become a disease, but what should we do?”

The person who said it was still pretending to be sad at first, but in the end he couldn't hold back and laughed.

All the boys burst into laughter.

Jia Huan listened through the wall, gritting his teeth.He'er was so frightened that he quickly hugged Jia Huan, dragged him away and walked away.Wiping off his sweat, he advised him not to take it to heart.

But Jia Huan is only a child of seven or eight years old, how could he not take it to heart?

Being compared with Baoyu's name again, Jia Huan almost exploded with anger: "What does he know? What can he do? Even in school, I go to school more than him. I'm afraid I can write a lot less than him." indivual!"

He'er sighed and smiled bitterly: "Come on, my master! You really think that the school you attended is of no use? When the empress did not enter the palace, she took Bao Erye with her every day. At that time, Bao Erye was only three years old. At the age of four, she has been dictating by hand, and she has taught several books and thousands of characters in your stomach. After you have been in school for two years, have you recognized a thousand characters? Have you read three books? Now treasure Even if the second master doesn't go to school anymore, he just reads the books bought for him by the old lady and the old lady in the room, and he is much more knowledgeable than you! You really want to compare yourself with others..."

Jia Huan's violent temper, which had been suppressed for two years, was suddenly stimulated, and he kicked He'er in the stomach: "Smelly slave! Who is the master? I am a concubine, and my surname is Jia. Where can you be so mean?" Mine? If you don’t respect me any more, I’ll let the housekeeper beat you to death!”

He'er was kicked, hugged his stomach and groaned, but the words in his mouth were not soft at all: "Master, then what crime do you charge this servant? The servant didn't say a single word wrong! Even if you say it, just say it." I'm afraid no one will blame the servant, but will laugh at you, Third Master?!"

Jia Huan was so suppressed that his face was flushed, he left He'er and ran back to his yard.It happened that Aunt Zhao was not there, so she fell on the bed and cried loudly.All the servants in the room had already sneaked out to play, but no one came to comfort Jia Huan with a word.

The crooked tree, which had been broken back a little by Jia Tanchun's hard work for two years, quietly grew towards the original divergent road.

Jia Huan began to pay attention to Baoyu's whereabouts.

Knowing that he often visited Aunt Xue and Miss Xue, Jia Huan also learned to say hello to Aunt Xue, joking with Baochai and Yinger before leaving.

Unexpectedly, Xue Baochai looked at him very kindly, as if he treated Baoyu the same way, "Brother Huan" and "Brother Huan" never left his mouth, smiling all over his face, without the slightest hint of disdain.

Jia Huan felt warm in her heart, so even if Ying'er occasionally showed a slight bit of displeasure, Jia Huan deliberately ignored it.

He went more frequently.

Jia Tanchun soon learned that Jia Huan was more and more fond of going to Xue Baochai's place to play, and couldn't help frowning.

In the original book, Jia Huan encountered Yinger's malice in Xue Baochai's room, although it was true that Jia Huan was an unrighteous person and played a fool when he gambled, so he was ridiculed by Yinger with Baoyu.But after all, he is the master of the Jia family, and he was treated like this by the servants of the Xue family. There is no hint of Yinger being punished in the following text.This is really unexpected.

But why does Jia Huan like to go to Xue Baochai more and more?It sounds incredible at first, but it is very simple when you think about it.Xue Baochai is a person with very high self-esteem, and because of his high self-esteem, his attitude towards all living beings is quite fair.There is no difference between "you" and "he" except for an "I".

While Jia Huan was in Jia's mansion, no matter whether he was the master or the servants, they all looked sideways.

Although with his own efforts in the past few years, Jia Huan's image construction has finally undergone some changes.But it is undeniable that because of Aunt Zhao's previous stupidity and Jia Huan's own rudeness and lowliness, in the eyes of everyone, he is still the dispensable concubine who people hate.

Therefore, when Jia Huan found out that Xue Baochai was able to treat him and Baoyu equally—even if it was only on the surface, it was a great surprise.He needs this.

Sighing, Jia Tanchun thought, otherwise, he would go to Xue Baochai a few more times and ask Cuimo to draw Yinger closer, to see if their master and servant could be more tolerant of Jia Huan.

——Besides, in the past two years, I have spent a lot of money to feed Aunt Zhao and Jia Huan. Jia Huan should not be short of money, so will this trouble be avoided?

Thinking of this, Jia Tanchun stood up, took waiting books and Cui Mo, and went straight to Xue Baochai's residence on the northeast corner of the mansion.

It's just a pity that she was still late.

Kankan walked to the gate of the courtyard, only to hear Jia Huan's excited and annoyed voice from inside because of gambling and throwing dice: "Six! Seven! Eight!" mixed with Ying'er's charming clapping and laughing: "Yao! Yao! !youngest!"

They are playing chess.Jia Huan won first and then lost, already a little anxious.This one is Jia Huan throwing dice, if you throw a seven, you win, if it is a six, then Yinger wins by throwing a three.One of the dice was set at five, and the other was still spinning.

It’s about this time—after that, Jia Huan will ignore the one who transferred out, insist that it’s a six, and then just grab the money!

Tanchun sighed inwardly, and raised his voice at the courtyard gate: "Is Sister Bao at home? Is Huan'er here too?"

Maybe Jia Huan heard her talking, and with clever words, he stretched out his hand to mess up the dice game, this game doesn't count, that's it.

Unexpectedly, no one in the room heard her voice. When she came to the curtain, she heard Ying'er muttering: "A man who is a master still owes us a few dollars, and I don't even care about it. The former son I played with Second Master Bao, he lost so much, and I didn’t see him in a hurry. The rest of the money, it’s better for a few little girls to grab it, and he just smiles.”

Baochai kept drinking, but Ying'er didn't miss a word.

Jia Huan was stunned for a moment, and then burst into tears: "Yes, yes, yes! Everyone said that! That's what you said! Now you are saying the same thing! How can I compare Baoyu? I am not raised by my wife. Do you deserve to be talked about and compared like this? Everyone bullies me, everyone bullies me!"

When Tanchun heard this, his nose became sore, and he stood in front of the door, almost crying.

Waiting for the book and Cui Mo to look at each other, they could only gently tug at her sleeve: "Girl..."

Tanchun blinked his eyes, took a deep breath, held back his tears, turned his face cold, raised his chest and raised his head, waiting for the curtain to be closed before he walked in and looked at everyone coldly.

Baochai was stunned for a moment, quickly forced a smile, stood up and said, "The third younger sister is here..."

Ying'er turned pale with fright, hid beside Baochai, and quickly bowed her knees to salute Tanchun.

As soon as Jia Huan saw her, the grievance in his heart intensified by three points, and he called out: "Sister San," crying more and more sadly.
