[Red Mansion] His mouth was opened

Everyone immediately put down their work. Anyway, the husband hadn't come yet, and a group of people surrounded Feng Yuandao.

There are three circles inside and three circles outside, it is not easy for Gu Chuzhi to squeeze in.

Feng Yuandao was not excited.

"Yuan Dao, don't be so impatient." You urged me impatiently.

"No, tell me quickly, what did you find out." Gu Chuzhi emerged from the crowd and asked repeatedly.

Feng Yuandao raised his chin, "Don't rush, guess first, who caught the thief?"

Everyone looked at each other in dismay, and looked around, Jia Huan was the only one who didn't come today!

Could it be Jia Huan? !

Everyone shook their heads in disbelief, as if they wanted to put this outrageous idea behind them.

Gu Chuzhi spoke bluntly, "Is it my brother Chengji?"

Everyone pricked up their ears, opened their eyes wide, and looked at Feng Yuandao.

The pen in Jia Baoyu's hand paused, and he couldn't help paying attention to Feng Yuandao's answer.

"How do you know!" Feng Yuandao still wanted to make a few tricks, but Gu Chuzhi unexpectedly broke the news all at once.

"Okay! Hahaha!" Gu Chuzhi clapped his palms and laughed, "I knew that Brother Chengji would definitely catch that thief!"

Xu Tuxiu was stunned for a while, his mouth barely closed.

Before Feng Yuandao finished speaking, under the attention of everyone, he continued, "Do you know how Chengji caught that thief?"

The faces of Tu Hengwen and the others darkened instantly.

Song Zhi's face was ashen, his eyes were gloomy and couldn't see to the end.

"How did you catch it?" Gu Chuzhi asked with dignity.

Feng Yuan said: "It is said that the thief sent it to the door himself."

Song Guangwen glanced at Xu Tuxiu.

Xu Tuxiu: "..."

"Okay, this is the upper study room, what are you arguing about here!" Tu Hengxuan shouted angrily, his face was as gloomy as water, and he was clearly angry at a glance.

Feng Yuandao was taken aback, and the others quickly dispersed like birds and beasts.

Feng Yuandao swallowed, ran back to his seat and sat down, he had just forgotten that there are two Highnesses Tu Hengwen and Tu Hengxuan here, this is a terrible situation!

When the teacher came back, he saw that the whole room was quiet, and nodded his head approvingly. It seems that these students are still promising.

However, everyone lost the desire to go to class, and everyone passed each other's eyes intentionally or unintentionally, conveying each other's shock and envy.

"Brother Jia Shi," the student sitting behind Baoyu poked Baoyu with a brush.

Jia Baoyu was in a trance when suddenly he was stabbed and almost cried out.

"Brother Jia Shi really kept it a secret. He hasn't told us about such things until now." The student said curiously and complained.

Jia Baoyu pursed his lips, he didn't know about it at all, Jia Huan... never told him.

"I don't know how your brother is so lucky. He won once or twice." The student said enviously.

Jia Baoyu's complexion was a bit ugly, the resentment that Jia Huan kept secret, and the faint jealousy that emerged in his heart, these two feelings were intertwined, making his heart feel like being cut by a knife.

"Old lady, old lady." Yuanyang called softly a few times.

Jia Mu opened her eyes in a daze from her sleep, and looked at the mandarin duck sleepily, "It's mandarin duck, what's the matter?"

Yuanyang stretched out her slender hands to help Jia Mu to sit up. She looked hesitant, not knowing what to say about this matter.

Jia Mu is a smart old man, how can she not see the difference in Yuanyang's expression, "Yuanyang, what's the matter?"

"Old lady, the angel is here." Yuanyang said loudly.

Joy burst into Jia Mu's eyes, and she grabbed Yuanyang's hand, "This is a good thing, why do you look like this?"

Yuanyang smiled wryly in her heart, why didn't she know that the angel came, it was a good thing, but...

Thinking of the shocked expressions of Elder Master and Second Master just now, Yuanyang couldn't help but feel helpless.

"Is the angel here for the eldest sister or for Baoyu?" Jiamu asked nervously.

Yuanyang paused, and under Jia Mu's urging eyes, said slowly: "It's for the third master Huan."

Mother Jia opened her eyes wide and was stunned for a long while, unable to speak.

How could it be Jia Huan? !

Whether it is the eldest sister or Baoyu, which one is better than Jia Huan?

If Jia Huan becomes famous, how will Baoyu deal with himself?

He, a bastard, is so vicious in his mind!

"Help me up." When Jia Mu thought that Baoyu might be crushed by Jia Huan, she couldn't sit still anymore.

"Girl, girl." The book attendant trotted into Baosha, his forehead covered with fine sweat.

Sanchun, Daiyu, Baochai and Xiangyun were all talking naughty jokes in the back room. At this time, seeing the hurry of the servant, everyone couldn't help but stop.

"Servant, what are you running for!" Tanchun asked.

The servant wiped his sweat and panted, "Miss, an angel from outside has come to our house."

Although the girls lived in the boudoir for a long time, they were all well-read and knowledgeable, so they naturally knew what the arrival of the angel meant.

Right now the Rongguo Mansion only has the second master who works in the Ministry of Industry. Although the children in the mansion are useless, none of them dare to cause disasters. If it is not a disaster, then it is a happy event.

Xiangyun then asked: "Shishu, do you know what the angel is here for?"

The girls were also curious, so they all looked at the waiter, waiting for her answer.

There was a smile on the servant's face, and the smile came out from her eyebrows, "I have found out, the angel came for the third master."

Ring?

Everyone froze and looked at each other.

Sanchun's eyes are full of joy, especially Tanchun, she has always been more stable than ordinary people, but now she can't hide it, her face is full of joy.

Shi Xiangyun felt uncomfortable, why didn't he come for the second brother?

The second brother is much better than that Huaner.

Xue Baochai had a forced smile on his face, but the handkerchief in his hand had been smacked out of shape.

Lin Daiyu had no intention of noticing her small movements, frowned subconsciously, and shook her head helplessly.

Jia's mother, Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang and others all put on heavy makeup according to their tastes, and went to the gate of Rongguo Mansion in formal dress.

Jia Amnesty, Mrs. Xing, and Jia Lian's family members are all here.

Mrs. Xing saw Mrs. Wang's livid face, and felt that her heart was more refreshed than drinking a bowl of sour plum soup on a hot day, and her smile became wider.

Jia Lian couldn't help looking at Jia Huan, and he realized that he couldn't see through Jia Huan anymore. The incident of Jia Huan playing with cats and dogs and making people suspicious seemed to happen yesterday, and now he was about to become an official.

Moreover, this was not bought with silver, it was rewarded by His Majesty.

"Following the heavens, the emperor ordered that Jia Chengji, the descendant of the Rongguo Mansion..." It was Chen Xindeng who came to proclaim the decree.

For things like this kind of decree, unless it is a relative of the king, it is easy to invite him. Chen Xindeng came in person, which showed the Holy Majesty's trust and favor for Jia Huan.

Mother Jia and others knelt down on the ground, feeling that every time Chen Xindeng said a word, their hearts were cut like a knife. They were talented and intelligent, like their grandfather, loyal, benevolent, righteous and virtuous. For Jia Baoyu's, they were all so happy to throw a three-day and three-night flowing water banquet, but they just said that they had always looked down on Jia Huan.

The smell of blood filled Madam Wang's mouth, her face was as pale as paper, her body was swaying, and she almost fainted.

Jia Huan, that evil bastard, actually got a fourth-rank official!

Such a good thing should belong to Baoyu!

"Ma'am, why don't you look well?" Chen Xindeng finished reading the imperial decree, and saw Mrs. Wang almost fainting.

Mother Jia gave Madam Wang a warning look, no matter how much Madam Wang resented Jia Huan in her heart, she couldn't show it in front of Eunuch Chen, "Eunuch Chen, my daughter-in-law is not in good health recently, Eunuch Lao is worried about her." .”

"Oh, I thought it was Madam who had a problem with His Majesty's will." Chen Xindeng was worthy of his experience in the palace, and he didn't say anything, but when he did, everyone broke out in a cold sweat.

Jia Zheng hurriedly said: "Eunuch is joking, Your Majesty is wise, we can only be grateful, how can we have any objection."

Jia Huan also smiled and said: "Yes, father-in-law, my mother must be very happy. You know, the place where the thief hides is the Keyun Tower that my mother gave me. Without my mother, how could I catch the thief!"

"What!" Mrs. Wang suddenly raised her head and looked at Jia Huan.

Jia Huan blinked, "Don't my wife know about this? I thought it was a chance that my wife deliberately arranged for me."

Jia Huan's words were like the last straw that broke the camel's back. Mrs. Wang's eyes suddenly went dark, and she felt that the world was spinning, and she collapsed to the ground in an instant.

"Ma'am..." The maid beside her hurriedly stepped forward to help her.

Chen Xindeng frowned, "Old Feng Jun, this, this is..."

Mother Jia secretly hated, not only hating Jia Huan, but also Mrs. Wang, for what she accomplished was more than ruined, if she falls, her reputation of being jealous and unvirtuous will spread throughout the capital from now on. .

"Father-in-law, I think my siblings are not feeling well," Mrs. Xing was so happy that she wished to go out and set off a few strings of firecrackers to celebrate. Mrs. Wang always stepped on her to stand out, but now the feng shui has turned, she said hypocritically, "If there is any disrespect, please forgive me, father-in-law."

Jia Lian hurried forward and stuffed a purse into Chen Xindeng's hand.

Chen Xindeng reluctantly nodded.

After seeing off Chen Xindeng, the group couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Wang Xifeng kept looking at Jia Huan from the corner of her eye, the 13-year-old Cong Sipin!This is probably the first case in this dynasty!

Thinking of this, Wang Xifeng was amazed in her heart, she didn't expect Jia Huan to be so lucky!He is now the highest official in Rongguo Mansion!Even the second master can't compare to him!

"Okay, don't stand here." Jia She laughed and patted Jia Huan on the back, "My boy, I didn't expect you to be so promising!"

Mrs. Xing said with a smile: "Yes, brother Huan really answered what he said - if you don't make a song, you're done, it's a blockbuster."

What she said was obviously praising Jia Huan, but she was stepping on Jia Baoyu secretly. Jia Mu and Erfang boasted that Jia Baoyu had great promise and great fortune all day long.

Anger flashed across Jia Mu's face, and she cast a cold glance at Mrs. Xing.

Madam Xing suddenly dared not make a sound.

Honor Hall.

The masters of Rongguo Mansion are all here.

"Brother Huan is promising now," Mother Jia said with a kind smile while holding a cup of hot tea, "The old lady thought you were a child, but I didn't expect that you are now an official."

Jia Huan smiled, and didn't answer Jia Mu's words. He knew that Jia Mu must have something to say.

Sure enough, Mother Jia's second sentence was: "Now that you are grown up, you should have your own yard. There is a Qinghe courtyard in our house, which is just right for you to live in."

Jia Lian and the others' eyes flashed.

Where is Qingheyuan?

That was the place where Aunt Jia Daishan used to live. The name sounds good, but it is not a good place.

Jia's mother wanted to show everyone in the mansion that even if Jia Huan had an official position, the Rongguo Mansion valued Jia Baoyu the most.

Jia Huan is all right, if he really cares about Rongguo Mansion, Jia's mother will feel troubled by such a small trick, but does Jia Huan care about Rongguo Mansion?ridiculous!

"Thank you, old lady." Jia Huan thanked her with a smile.

Seeing his indifferent attitude, Jia's mother felt sick to herself.

Jia She said at this time: "Old lady, since Brother Huan has been bestowed an official position by His Majesty, it is such a good thing to hold a big feast and celebrate with relatives and friends."

Mrs. Xing was also beating and drumming, "Yes, old lady, this is a big happy event in our house, no matter what we have to set up more than a dozen tables."

Jia Zheng said in a serious voice with a straight face, "It's just good luck to hold a banquet. If there is a banquet, it shouldn't be laughed at."

He couldn't eat grapes and said grapes were sour.

Such a big happy event, no one would laugh at it, and it's too late to envy!

Jia Zheng was jealous and annoyed. He had worked so hard in the Ministry of Industry for so many years, and he was still a fifth rank. As a result, now, his son was actually better than his father!It's fine if it's Baoyu, but it's Jia Huan!

Jia's mother was about to nod her head, but Jia She disagreed. The more the second child objected, the more he wanted to contradict him, "Second brother, what you said was wrong, our Rongguo Mansion is now Brother Huan's last brother. Promising, if you don’t celebrate it, those who don’t know will think that we are treating Brother Huan harshly, if this spreads, it may not be good for our Rongguo Mansion’s reputation.”

Jia Zheng was speechless.

Jia Lian was listening, feeling uncomfortable all over.

It is said that geomantic omens take turns, he used to sympathize with Jia Huan, but now he has reached the sky in one step!

Although Wang Xifeng didn't like Jia She's stepping on Jia Lian, he had to admit that no matter what method Jia Huan used, he was indeed the most promising son of the Rongguo Mansion in the eyes of outsiders.

"Okay." Mother Jia pressed the center of her eyebrows, "Do what you have to do, but don't go too far, lest people say that we have shallow eyesight, and the whole city will know about a trivial matter. Pick a day and invite relatives and friends Friends are here."

A smile appeared on Jia Amnesty's face, "The old lady said so."

Jia Zheng's face was full of anger, he glanced at Jia Huan, and walked away.

"Why do you think Brother Huan is so lucky?" Back in the yard, Jia Lian sat down on the couch and complained angrily.

Wang Xifeng glanced at him and said with a smile: "Are you still angry about what the master said?"

"No way!" Jia Lian insisted on not admitting it.

Wang Xifeng spat at him, "Don't hide it, your thoughts are written all over your face, no one can see it, and don't be jealous of Brother Renhuan, I think he hides it deeply, you can say yes once or twice Luck, this is the first time, it can still be luck."

"Then according to you, he has been playing stupid?" Jia Lian asked in surprise.

Wang Xifeng nodded, fiddled with the tea cover with her slender fingers, and said thoughtfully: "I'll look at it coldly, I'm afraid Brother Huan is quite capable, you didn't realize that, a few times ago, Lixiangyuan and Lixiangyuan My aunt's side is not enough for him to play. Every time, he has dealt with it with a lot of effort."

When she said this, Jia Lian realized that this was really the case.

If Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang's tricks were to be put on him, I'm afraid he suffered a lot of losses, but Jia Huan was safe and sound all the time.

Jia Lian couldn't help but sucked in a breath of cold air, the original unwillingness disappeared in an instant, an enemy is not to be feared, what is to be feared is an unknown enemy.

"I think our attitude towards Brother Huan has changed," Jia Lian said in a low voice.

Wang Xifeng gave him a blank look: "It's up to you to say, I have already ordered the subordinates to compare Baoyu's attitude to that side, and give them whatever they want. We don't necessarily ask him to repay you in the future. We just hope not to offend you." He'll be fine."

Although the words were frank, Wang Xifeng began to think in his heart, did he offend Jia Huan?

"Girl, why do you have to carry the food box by yourself?" As soon as Xiao Jixiang stepped into the kitchen, four or five women surrounded him, serving tea and water courteously.

Little Jixiang was stunned for a moment, did the sun come out from the west?Why do these women seem to be different people? Usually when she comes, they don't even pay attention to her, but now they still give her a chair to sit on and call her a girl, which is really strange.

"Girl, what would Auntie want to eat? Today, some fresh lotus roots were delivered outside, but they are delicious. Why don't you take a plate of lotus root with meat?" A woman said to Xiao Jixiang with a wrinkled face. .

Xiao Jixiang swallowed, "Okay."

"The chicken diced eggplant stew just made is hot. Do you like it, girl?"

Chicken and Eggplant Casserole?Xiao Jixiang's eyes lit up immediately. This diced chicken and eggplant stew is not an ordinary dish. The diced chicken only uses a small piece of bone from the chicken. It takes at least a dozen chickens to make a dish. , if you usually want to eat it, you can't afford this dish if you don't have seven or eight taels of silver.

Xiao Jixiang nodded repeatedly.

Thinking of something again, he looked around the women vigilantly, "Ma'am, what do you want me to do for you? Let me tell you first, I won't do bad things."

The women smiled obsequiously and said, "Miss, you are joking, these are just our little care, and it is to honor my aunt and the third master."

Only then did Xiao Jixiang understand that these women used to be indifferent to their place, but now that the third master is an official, they are all afraid of his revenge, so they come to flatter them.

Xiao Jixiang's heart fell to the ground at this moment, don't reject the things delivered to your door for nothing.

What's more, these are what they owe them.

Xiao Jixiang can be said to be a daughter-in-law who has become a mother-in-law for many years. He ordered the mothers-in-law to serve tea and pour water, and then pinched his waist and beat his back, and he was very relieved.

Even seeing Miss Ping'er next to Wang Xifeng, she could be looked at highly.

On the other side, Xiao Que, who used to be Aunt Zhao's maidservant, did not receive this kind of treatment.

Xiao Que is a maid who betrayed her master, and Jia Huan used an excuse to send her to Madam Wang. There are at least a dozen maids at Madam Wang's place, and Xiao Que is the lowest one. She doesn't have a part in anything delicious and fun, but if it's dirty work, she has to do it.

"Sister Caixia, your clothes." After washing the clothes all morning, Xiao Que was sweating profusely and sent them to the sun one by one.

"Put it here." Caixia glanced at her and said lightly.

Xiao Que wisely put the clothes on Caixia's bed.

But I heard the conversation of the maids behind me.

"Sister Caixia, it will be Little Jixiang's birthday in a few days. We are discussing how to raise some money to buy some gifts for her." A seven or eight-year-old maid said crisply.

Xiao Que's hand stopped instantly, buying a gift for Xiao Jixiang? !

Did she hear wrong?

"Sisters and sisters, which little auspicious are you talking about?" Xiao Que asked cheekily.

Caixia and the others looked at each other, and the little maid said: "Which little Jixiang could it be, there is only one little Jixiang sister in our house, serving the third master."

Xiao Que was completely dumbfounded, it turned out to be her!

"Speaking of which, you were also serving in my aunt's yard at the beginning. It's really a different life. Now little sister Jixiang is lucky. Even Aunt Lai called her girl when she saw her. If I have this day, I can laugh in my dreams Wake up." The little maid sighed.

Xiao Que felt as if she had knocked over the sauce bottle. For these days, she kept comforting herself that even if she was kicked out, it would be better than Xiao Jixiang serving her aunt and third master. But now, Xiao Jixiang is on the rise. The maids with eyes above the top have to curry favor with her, how can she accept it!

She just felt heartbroken and uncomfortable.
