[Red Mansion] His mouth was opened

There was a moment of silence in the room.

After Jia Huan had finished greeting him, Mother Jia waved to Jia Huan with a smile, held Jia Huan's hand kindly, looked at him, and said, "Isn't your child recovering from illness? Why?" Seeing you getting thinner these days?"

Jia Mu's rare kindness is undoubtedly the weasel's New Year's greetings to the chickens-no good intentions.

When Jia Huan came in, he looked around from the corner of his eye, but it was strange that Baoyu was not there.

He smiled and held Jia Mu's hand, wondering where Baoyu had gone. When he was paying his respects, he always had to be early, and it was already a big problem if he didn't see anyone at this time today.

Inside the Rongxi Hall study.

Baoyu, who was being talked about by Jia Huan, stood in front of the desk with lowered eyebrows and hands down. The only one who could make the mighty Second Master Bao in this mansion show this appearance was his father, Jia Zheng.

"You can practice this character fairly well, so it can be seen that you can make progress if you study hard." Jia Zheng put down the rice paper in his hand, nodded his head slightly, stroked his beard, and said in a calm voice.

Baoyu's heart dropped when he mentioned his throat, but when he thought of what Mrs. Wang asked him to say before he came, his heart became tense again.

Jia Zheng glanced at him, felt a block in his heart, and asked displeasedly: "I praised you before, why do you look like this now? If you have something to say, just speak directly, hesitating, what do you look like!"

Now that he said so, no matter how much Baoyu hesitated, he had to say it.

"The old lady is right. I see Brother Huan is also losing weight. I think he is worried about business." Aunt Xue took up what Jia Mu said with a smile, and said lightly with a trace of resentment in her eyes.

Jia Mu seemed to disapprove, patted the back of Jia Huan's hand, and said angrily, "Is it really because of this?"

Jia Huan smiled, but there seemed to be a trace of bitterness in the smile, "Old lady, my grandson is worried about this."

When Xue Baochai was wondering about the relationship between Jia Huan and Ruyi Pavilion, when he heard this, he gave Jia Huan a surprised look.

"Huan'er was really wrong. People like us need to do business, but they lost money? Let me tell you, I won't help you this time. I just want to let you grow your memory. Now that you are older, why do you still think that it's a one-off?" Mrs. Wang said with a smile on top of her skin.

She was sure that Jia Huan must have lost money in business, and now she might come to cry and beg for money, she just felt very angry in her heart, and decided that if Jia Huan asked for money later, she would definitely ridicule him some.

"Madam." Jia Huan called Mrs. Wang, as if begging for mercy.

Aunt Xue laughed inwardly, but she pretended to be considerate and said on her face: "Auntie won't help you this time, it's a joke to do business, and it's no wonder that you broke in so vainly, and lost money." You have to be more careful in the future. Did that person come to ask you for money just now?"

She also knew about Ruyi Pavilion. She heard that there was no one at the door a while ago, and the business was getting worse and worse. If Jia Huan invested money in it, it would be a waste of money!

Jia Huan seemed to hesitate: "No, I'm not here to ask for money."

After speaking, he lowered his head as if he had a guilty conscience.

With his appearance like this, everyone knew at a glance that he must have lost his money, and he might still be owed money.

Seeing this situation, Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "Could it be that you have made money? If you have made money, you can also make everyone happy, and Madam doesn't want your money."

There is a rule in the Rongguo Mansion that the descendants who have not married and established a business cannot hide their private business, in order to fear that the descendants will not be of one mind.Of course, this rule also varies from person to person. For Baoyu and Jia Lian, this rule is like a private establishment, but for Jia Huan, it is a knife hanging over his head.

The corners of Jia Huan's mouth curled up indistinctly, what he wanted was Mrs. Wang's words, under the watchful eyes of everyone, even if Mrs. Wang uttered these words, she wanted to go back on her word, but she couldn't let go of her shame.

"Okay, don't talk about it, brother Huan will learn the lesson if you think about it." Mother Jia looked at Jia Huan after being ridiculed enough, and then said slowly.

Jia Huan seemed to be grateful for a quick glance at Mother Jia, but he sneered in his heart. He was tired of playing the red face and the bad face tricks. The old lady is still playing this trick at such an old age. How ridiculous!

Xue Baochai and others listened to the words below, all pursing their lips.

"I didn't want to talk about this at first." Jia Huan lowered his voice, raised his head and looked around Mrs. Wang and the others.

Tanchun couldn't help but feel sorry for Jia Huan, even if he really lost money in business, it's not a big deal, the old lady and the others deserve to humiliate Huan'er like this in front of everyone, wouldn't it be obvious to tell everyone in the family that Jia Huan is a Can't get on the table.

Xue Baochai faintly felt that something was wrong, she bit her lower lip, and a thought suddenly appeared in her mind, this thought was so unbelievable that when she thought of this possibility, she only felt it was absurd.

Who is Jia Huan, she still doesn't know?

After living in the Rongguo Mansion for so many years, Xue Baochai has understood the temperament of everyone. Jia Huan is a poor man, born of a concubine, his father does not love his mother, and the old lady and the second wife suppress him intentionally or unintentionally. No matter how talented he is, he has become a waste. From the previous incidents, it can be seen that he has cleverness, but those clevernesses are all heresy, and he can't get on the stage.

Even she might not be able to figure out the idea of ​​Ruyi Pavilion, how could it be Jia Huan who thought it up! ?

"We're all one family, so just say what you want, and I can give you advice no matter how bad it is." Aunt Xue laughed even louder.

Jia Huan nodded, smiled and said to Jia's mother, "Grandson is lucky, he has made some money."

made money? !

Wang Xifeng was listening and almost dropped the teacup by mistake.

Jia Huan said that he made money, could it be an auditory hallucination?

Mrs. Wang and the others were even more astonished. Mrs. Wang's eyes flashed, and she said with a smile: "You kid doesn't speak a half-truth, and you lose money if you lose money. Why bother to swell your face and pretend to be fat?!"

When she said this, Mother Jia and Aunt Xue immediately felt that this was the case. It was no accident that Jia Huan lost money.

Mother Jia sighed, looked at Jia Huan disapprovingly, and said angrily, "You are not honest, child."

Jia Huan smiled, "Does the old lady believe it?"

He acted foolishly, so that everyone didn't know whether to believe it or not.

Xue Baochai somehow felt that her conjecture just now might be true. When she thought of this possibility, she couldn't help but want to remind everyone, so as not to lose face later, "Brother Huan's words may be true, we ..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Mrs. Wang, who smiled kindly and looked at Xue Baochai, "You are such a kind-hearted child, what you said by Brother Huan is clearly false, and you still support him on."

Xue Baochai was suffering and couldn't tell, so she didn't know what to say.

Jia Huan glanced at her with a half-smile, and it seemed that Xue Baochai was indeed "kind" enough.

"Old lady, madam, aunt, how dare I lie about this?" Jia Huan spread his hands and said innocently, "Just now the shopkeeper of Ruyi Pavilion came to me, but he came to give me money."

He didn't wait for everyone to react, and then continued: "Speaking of which, I don't believe it myself. My grandson just gave Ruyi Pavilion an idea, and he easily made a thousand taels of silver. The shopkeeper also said From now on, there will be money to be taken every month.”

Thousand taels of silver!

Everyone's faces changed!

Xue Baochai's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at Jia Huan in disbelief. Was it really his idea? !

This is impossible!

Wang Xifeng was listening attentively from the sidelines, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but gasped, the family knew that oil and rice were expensive, and this 1000 taels was almost a month's income for Rongguo Mansion, Jia Huan earned so much a month?No, more than that, from what he said, it might be more than 1000 taels a month!

Mrs. Wang didn't believe it, so she sneered, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, pointed at Jia Huan, and said with a smile: "Old lady, listen to everyone, what kind of talk is this? Yinzi, where to find such a thing with a lantern!"

But Mother Jia didn't smile. She glanced at Jia Huan, and put her right hand on the jade bracelet on her left hand. The cold touch allowed her to think calmly. If it was any other lie, she would naturally not take it seriously, but this kind of lie It can be easily exposed, and it is impossible for Jia Huan to pull such a lie to protect his face.So, there's something about it that's true!

"My wife doesn't know. In business, sometimes an idea is worth tens of thousands of dollars." Jia Huan said with a smile.

The implication is to ridicule Wang's shallowness and ignorance!

Mrs. Wang's face turned purple, and said angrily: "Well, tell the big guy what idea you came up with, so that we can also gain insight, and see what the value of the "thousand gold" idea of ​​Third Master Huan is like? "

Before Jia Huan could respond, Aunt Xue couldn't wait to say: "Your mother is right, our family is also in business, but we have never heard of such a thing. Brother Huan, tell me, and we will listen to it too." .”

The two sisters were convinced that Jia Huan must be talking nonsense, so they couldn't wait to expose his lies and make him completely ashamed in front of everyone.

At this time, even if Xue Baochai wanted to speak, she was powerless.

I can only hope that Jia Huan can back down, but at this time, how can Jia Huan give in? !

The sisters of Lin Daiyu gave each other a look, everyone was surprised, they also thought of what they heard not long ago, Tanchun was relieved, if the idea was really from Huaner, it would be worth a few thousand dollars. Two is also a matter of course.
