[Red Mansion] His mouth was opened

In just a few days, the status of Jia Huan's mother and son was turned upside down.

Now, who in the Rongguo Mansion doesn't envy Xiao Jixiang for climbing a high branch? At first, everyone made fun of Xiao Jixiang for being blind, but he went to serve Aunt Zhao mother and son. Now, everyone has changed their mouths. With eyes but no eyes, it is clear that he has sharp eyes, but she was picked out by her.

"Mother, I still have something to do in my mansion, I'll go back first." This day is Xiao Jixiang's birthday, which coincidentally coincides with the day of the Rongguo mansion's big banquet.

Aunt Zhao has a sharp mouth and a tofu heart. Little Jixiang is usually loyal to their mother and son. Now that she is proud, she naturally can't treat her badly.

"That's good." Little Ji Xiangniang replied, "Then you will have a good time serving your aunt and third master in Rongguo Mansion, and we must be worthy of them."

When Xiao Jixiang came back, not only did Aunt Zhao give silver, Jia Huan also gave her a lot of silver, asking her to buy some good ones and take them home.

"Mom, I can wake up." Xiao Jixiang said.

She knew that her status was all derived from Aunt Zhao's mother and son.

"Ah, who is so careless." Xiao Jixiang packed his things back to Rongguo Mansion, and just about to enter the Qinghe Courtyard, he bumped into someone unexpectedly.

Little Jixiang staggered, and fell backwards, so he managed to avoid a somersault.

"Xiao Que, it's you." After Xiao Jixiang stood still, he frowned slightly and looked at Xiao Que.

Xiao Que remained silent, glared at her viciously, then lifted the corner of her skirt and ran away.

Xiao Jixiang was stared at inexplicably, but Xiao Que's temperament was always like this. When she was Aunt Zhao's maidservant, Xiao Que often took Joe in various ways. Later, when she left, Xiao Jixiang was relieved.

"Master, why is Xiao Que here?" Xiao Jixiang put the things in his room, and went to serve Jia Huan diligently.

Jia Huan is going to have a banquet today. He is wearing a scarlet dark-pattern robe, a jade pendant around his waist, and boots on his feet. He is in high spirits. When Xiao Jixiang sees it, his heart flickers. No, but he looks much better than Second Master Bao?

This was completely an illusion. At first Jia Huan suffered a serious illness and was weak. Naturally, she was not as good as Jia Baoyu, but these days, she gradually grew up and had flesh on her face. In addition to practicing riding and shooting, her body became taller and more refined. The spirit is also sufficient, and the good foundation is revealed.

You know, Aunt Zhao was bestowed by Jia Mu to be Jia Zheng's aunt, and that color was the best in the family.

Although Jia Zheng is pedantic, his face can still be seen. The combination of strong and powerful, Jia Huan is not bad in appearance, but he was led to go dirty, so his temperament is naturally not as good as Jia Baoyu.

Now, it's just a return to the original.

"She wants to come back to serve me." Jia Huan said casually.

"What?" Little Jixiang withdrew his mind, this little girl is used to flattering her, if she is allowed to come back, is there still room for her to stand?

"Don't worry," Jia Huan glanced at her and said with a smile, "I didn't agree. If someone like her betrays once, there will be a second time. How could I trust her so easily."

Only then did Xiao Jixiang heave a sigh of relief. She didn't know this, but it was because Xiao Que had a bit of color, and she was afraid that the third master would soften his heart when he saw him.

However, the third master didn't even look down on the four maids sent by his wife. Thinking about it, Xiao Que's thoughts were in vain.

Ningguo Mansion.

Both Jia Zhen and his son were sitting on the couch crookedly, drinking wine and ordering all kinds of side dishes. A slender and pleasant-looking maidservant was waiting on both sides of the father and son.

"Master, it doesn't matter if we go later?" After all, Jia Rong is young, inexperienced, and has no guts.

Jia Zhen glanced at him lightly, drank a glass of wine by the servant girl's hand, and said, "Usually, you are said to be brave, but now you are just going to the opposite side later, which scares you like this. What are you afraid of?" Your father is the patriarch, no matter how capable Jia Huan is, he is only a fourth-rank official, so what if you don’t give him face.”

After hearing this, Jia Rong calmed down a little.

Jia Zhen snorted coldly, "If you're not promising, you're not promising. It's just that you don't want to give face to a bastard, so you're so frightened."

"Brother Zhen hasn't come yet?" Jia Lian looked at Lai Er in surprise. The Ningguo Mansion has always followed the lead of the Rongguo Mansion, but whenever there is such a banquet, it never comes early.

Lai Er gave a wry smile, and said helplessly, "Second Master Lian, the master said that he has something to do with the uncle, and he will not come here until a while later."

Something?

What can Jia Zhen do?

It's just drinking and playing tricks!

There was anger in Jia Lian's eyebrows, he was trying not to give Jia Huan face, but he hurt him, "Go and urge him, just say that I asked him to come quickly."

Jia Zhen is the head of the Jia family, and when he entertains relatives and friends later, it is unavoidable for him to show up.

"Master, since Uncle Lian has urged us, let's go over." Jia Rong was relieved to hear Lai Er's words.

Jia Zhen was already drunk, and he waved his hands drunkenly, "No, what is Jia Huan, I won't go to his banquet."

When Jia Rong heard it, it was obvious that his father's jealousy had flared up, and he didn't want to see others well. This time, it was Jia Huan who made a difference. In the past, Jia Huan was always dependent on others. How could his father lose his face.

"My lord, my lord," a little servant ran in hastily.

Jia Rong was in a hurry, but when she saw that the boy had no rules, she frowned, "What's the hurry, are there any rules?"

The young man hurriedly knelt down and licked his lips, "Master, sir, many highnesses are coming from the opposite side."

"Your Highness, what Your Highness?" Jia Zhen half-opened her eyes and asked in a daze, "Aren't all the relatives in Rongguo Mansion today? Where is Your Highness?!"

Jia Rong frowned, "Don't talk nonsense, what's going on?"

"At the Rongguo Mansion, His Highness the Seventh, the Tenth, and the Sixteenth have come," the young man said intermittently, "The Eldest and Second Lords of the mansion came out to greet them in person."

"What!" Jia Zhen's drunkenness dissipated immediately, and he sat up from the chair, panicked and didn't know what to do.

Didn't it mean that today, relatives and friends of Jia's family will gather together, eat, drink, and listen to operas?

Why are those masters here? !

Jia Rong was also flustered, in a hurry, not knowing whether to go there or what?

After all, Lai Er is the chief manager, and reminded him from the side: "Master, uncle, go and change your clothes first."

The two of them drank for half a day, and they smelled of alcohol all over their bodies. If they passed by now, they would probably bump into the nobleman.

After hurriedly changing their clothes, Jia Zhen and his son hurried to the opposite door of Rongguo Mansion.

Sure enough, those distinguished guests came.

Jia Rong had sharp eyes, squeezed to Jia Lian's side, and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Lian too, why didn't you tell us in advance?"

Jia Lian himself didn't know it beforehand, but it didn't prevent him from venting his anger at this time, "Oh, aren't you busy? I thought, since you are busy, then don't bother you. What, the work is over?"

After being squeezed by Jia Lian, Jia Rong suddenly had nothing to say and blushed.

He looked up, and there were three young men sitting on it, some were gentle and elegant, some were imposing, some were luxurious and handsome, all of them were first-class good-looking, and even more imposing, people dare not look directly at them.

Jia Rong hurriedly lowered her head and whispered a few words of flattery.

After all, Jia Lian didn't get really angry with him, and he also knew that Jia Rong didn't have the guts, and it could only be his incomprehensible father who did this, but he calmed down after a while.

"Second Uncle Lian, it's really honorable for your family to invite some of your highnesses." Jia Rong said enviously.

Jia Lian and You Rongyan raised their chins slightly, "That's right, these guys were all invited by Brother Huan."

"Jia Huan?" Jia Rong's eyes widened, and she looked at Jia Lian in disbelief.

It is not so easy to invite these masters, even Uncle Zhang Guo may not be able to invite all of them, what kind of ability does Jia Huan have to invite these few!

Jia Lian frowned, "What Jia Huan, that's your Third Uncle Huan."

Jia Rong quickly changed her words, "All these people were invited by Uncle Huan?"

"Otherwise, do you think who in our family can have such a big face to invite these people?" Jia Lian asked back, he now understands that this Jia Huan usually does not show the mountains and waters, but if he does not sing, it is nothing. It was a blockbuster!

When his grandfather was alive, he might not be able to invite several highnesses.

Jia Rong was completely stunned, Jia Huan has such a great ability! !

Is this still the nonchalant Jia Huan in his impression?

On the other side, Jia Zhen was so shocked that she couldn't close her jaw when she saw the first few people talking and laughing happily with Jia Huan.

"Baoyu, why don't you go say hello to your highnesses?" Jia Zhen didn't dare to be presumptuous, so she rushed up Baoyu, "You are the serious master of our Rongguo Mansion, how can you let that kid show off?"

Jia Baoyu was very embarrassed, "Brother Zhen, stop joking, these highnesses were invited by Brother Huan, I'm going up to join in the fun."

Jia Zhen was stunned, and didn't react for a while.

Everyone outside watched Jia Huan chatting and laughing with the highnesses eagerly, wishing to squeeze up to take Jia Huan's place, but now who dares to offend him, they can only watch this good thing being enjoyed by Jia Huan alone.

And inside the second door.

Honor Hall.

You Shi and the others sat quietly drinking tea, the atmosphere was very strange, and many relatives from the Rongguo Mansion even glanced at Mrs. Wang from time to time.

The affairs of the Rongguo Mansion have always been hidden. They have all heard that Mrs. Wang treated the concubine harshly and was very stingy, but after paying a few taels of silver, she fell ill with anger. This is worse than those glass mice and glass cats Not long ago, when the angel came, Mrs. Wang was so angry that she fainted.

Now, at first glance, Mrs. Wang's complexion is much prettier than the palette.

Wang Xifeng couldn't sit still anymore, on such a happy day, sitting here like dumb, what does it look like.

"Old lady, it's such a happy event for the Highnesses to come to our house. My heart is still pounding. I thought it was the same for other people. Now it seems that there are a lot of talents here, and everyone is better than me. Be sure." Wang Xifeng pretended to be shy.

What she said not only praised everyone here, but also reminded Jiamu, her thoughtfulness was astounding.

"That's not true. Everyone is like you. They have never seen the world. The old lady has experienced a lot." You Shi said with a smile.

Only then did Mother Jia have a little smile on her face.

Seeing this, Wang Xifeng hurriedly said a few funny words while the iron was hot.

The others also spoke slowly, and for a while, the atmosphere became heated.

"Oh, after all, it's Brother Huan who has the ability." Mrs. Xing caught a glimpse of Mrs. Wang's livid face, and she was happy to add a little trouble to her, and said happily: "Thanks to his family, he can be a fourth-rank child I don't know how big this official is, our master said that he is stronger than the second master, I just thought my master was joking, today, it seems that it is true."

Wang Xifeng's heart skipped a beat, her mother-in-law really doesn't know what to do, when can't say it well, why not say it now!

Mrs. Wang's teeth were barely gritted. Mrs. Xing's words were undoubtedly hitting her in the face. She clenched her teeth, her face tensed, and said coldly: "What the eldest lady said is that Brother Huan is a Luckily, hurry up and ask him to go around your courtyard tomorrow, and give you some blessings."

Mrs. Xing's complexion immediately changed. Mrs. Wang's words were to blame her for not being able to give birth to a son. What kind of person is she, dare to say that to her.

Everyone held their breath and did not dare to make a sound.

The two wives of the Rongguo Mansion have always been ambivalent, they have heard about it, but they didn't expect that when they saw it today, it was even more exaggerated than the rumors, such a tearing thing, which family didn't tear you to death behind their backs, tomorrow The face is full of flowers, holding each other, which is not as direct as Rongguo Mansion.

Mother Jia's face was very ugly, and she glanced coldly at the two uneasy daughter-in-laws.

Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing immediately shut up. How they fight is the same thing. If Mother Jia warns like this and they dare to make mistakes, no matter who is right or who is wrong, it will not be good.

Unexpectedly, at this time, a few maids outside came in with gift boxes in their hands.

Everyone couldn't help but subconsciously looked at the gift boxes held by the maids, and guessed in their hearts that these were probably gifts from those highnesses.

"Old lady, your highnesses have brought gifts." As expected, everyone expected.

"The old lady is so lucky." You said enviously, this kind of honor, everyone can get it, according to You's thinking, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, no matter who is good, they have to respect her anyway , she just waited to be honored, but it's a pity that Mother Jia didn't think so.

The expression on Jia Mu's face was faint, and there was no smile.

Wang Xifeng murmured to herself, the old lady's eccentricity really became more and more obvious, in front of so many people, she put on a show anyway.The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, she is like this, no wonder her mother-in-law and aunt would make trouble.

No matter how upset she was, Wang Xifeng still had to smooth things over for Jia Mu, and she couldn't let these daughters-in-law say outside that the old lady was dissatisfied with the highnesses.

"Old lady, your highness's thoughts, it's okay if you are happy, but we are not happy, can you open our eyes?" Wang Xifeng said with a smile.

Jia Mu knew that she had acted inappropriately just now, so she followed Wang Xifeng's words and said, "Open it for everyone to see."

Everyone was also willing to sell Jia Mu's favor, and they all looked curiously at the gift boxes in the hands of the maids.

They didn't pretend, after all, those masters didn't see each other, and today three of them came all at once, and they were also curious about what gifts these masters would bring.

His Highness the Seventh Highness gave a Jade Guanyin, and Jia Mu nodded in satisfaction. She heard that the eldest girl was in the Palace of the Seventh Highness's mother and concubine Rong Guifei. The Seventh Highness has always been rich and famous. , there is no need to worry about it in the future.

Judging from this ceremony, His Highness the Seventh Highness is still relatively polite to them Rongguo Mansion, so I don't know if the eldest girl has such good fortune.

The gift from His Highness the Tenth Highness was not bad, it was a jade ruyi, a good omen.

However, when she saw the handwritten words sent by His Highness the Sixteenth, Jiamu's face became gloomy almost instantly.

The other daughters-in-law hadn't noticed the inappropriateness, so they pointed to the word and said, "It is said that His Majesty the Sixteenth Highness is arrogant, but now it seems that it is clearly a lie. Judging from the words, this word is chic and elegant, quite similar to Wang Xizhi's. Feng, and the bones of Yan Zhenqing, are really rare and good words."

According to the rules of the Wang family, it is good for women to know a few words, so Wang Xifeng and Mrs. Wang didn't know if the words were good or bad, so they only glanced at them a few times, and echoed the praise of others.

But no one noticed Jiamu's livid expression.

This word is good, but it depends on what word is written.

Tu Henglu sent the word "compassion". For Jia Mu who knew it well, it was like slapping her in the face without any scruples.

His word is a naked satire on Jia's mother!

If it wasn't for the writing of Tuhenglu, Jia's mother would have thought of tearing it up.

"The old lady must be overjoyed." Youshi looked at the word enviously and said.

Jia Mu's face was ashen, full of anger, her lungs were almost exploding, but she had to pinch her nose and praised: "His Sixteenth Highness's handwriting is really good."

"No, if I can get a word, I will be so happy that I can't sleep at night." You Shi said with half envy and half jealousy before he noticed that Jia Mu's words were wrong.

Wang Xifeng was aware of it, and she didn't know why Mother Jia had offended her, so she winked at the maids and signaled them to put away their things.

The one-day feast did not come to an end until after one watch.

Today, everyone had seen Jia Huan's ability, it was already a great thing to invite one prince, and he even invited three at once, and he was able to chat with all three His Royal Highnesses.

Many people who didn't think much of Jia Huan before, were slapped in the face but still approached Jia Huan shyly.

The most obvious ones are Jia Zhen and his son, who are brothers Huan and uncle Huan, who are so affectionate that they are almost like a family.

Jia Baoyu suddenly felt very uncomfortable. In the past, when people praised him, he didn't think there was anything wrong, he just took it for granted. Now, people are going to make friends with Jia Huanla, and he immediately feels very uncomfortable. up.

Jia Zheng saw it in his eyes, compared the two, Jia Huan's easy-going, and Jia Baoyu's restlessness, he suddenly became angry, and rebuked Jia Baoyu a few words.

Jia Baoyu was already sulking, but he was scolded by Jia Zheng, and he was depressed. He had a fever that night and talked nonsense.

Now, it's a hornet's nest.
