Ring Lord of the Red Chamber

Although I already understood that once I sang something famous on that stage, sooner or later I would touch the people and things from that year again, and I have already cheered myself up in the bottom of my heart.Jia Huan originally believed that no matter what he faced, he could deal with it indifferently and keep everything out of his heart.

But obviously, he was wrong...

"My lord, how are you? Did you have a nightmare? Oh, look at the sweat on this side, I'll pour you a cup of tea..." The servant girl, who was sleeping in the outer room, heard the ravings and exclamations inside. He didn't even bother to put on his outer shirt, so he trotted in quickly.With a single glance, she could see that her grandfather sat up with a pale face, his forehead and face were covered with sweat, and he was panting with his mouth slightly open.

Jia Huan pressed his chest with one hand, and took the handkerchief handed over by the maid to wipe his sweat with the other hand. After receiving the tea, he was not in a hurry to drink, so he calmed down and said: "Caixia, I'm fine, it's just a dream. You're just a kid, and you've recovered now. You still have work to do tomorrow, so go and rest, go." After finishing speaking, he licked the corner of his mouth at the servant girl, waved his hand and sent him away.

Caixia was a little worried, looking at Master Huan's appearance, she might have dreamed about what happened after the Rong Mansion was confiscated, and she didn't know how uncomfortable it was.With so many masters and slaves in Rongning and Ningfu, the worst end could be counted on Master Huan.It's just that, as a slave, she doesn't know how to comfort her, and she may just serve her well.

After sending Caixia away, Jia Huan didn't lie down, but put on a coat instead, got up and went to the window.

Just now, he dreamed about the people and things of that year, the home that no longer belonged to him, the family members who had long since regained their glory, and the master who had long since abandoned him.

That day the Rongning Second Mansion was confiscated, and the entire Jia family was arrested and imprisoned, awaiting the imperial court's disposition.Jia Huan still remembered that he was just 15 years old at that time, and he was still a naive and ignorant boy. Apart from being apprehensive and confused, he didn't have much fear.After all, he, Jia Huan, is just a little bastard, not even qualified to cause trouble, and no crime can be blamed on him, and there are masters and brothers on the left and right to support him.

However, bad luck bypassed the others, and fell straight on his head for some reason.Even those decent servants from the two prefectures hadn't been sold out yet, but he, Jia Huan, had already been picked up and bought away.And the one who bought him was actually a troupe.Heh, he was originally a young master of the Duke's mansion, but suddenly he became a low-level actor, he deserves to be bumped to death!

What broke Jia Huan even more was what happened after that.He was sold that day, and the news came the next day that the Rongguo Mansion was pardoned.According to a decree from the current Holy Majesty, the old master Jia Zheng is not only not responsible for the crime, but Mu Tianen has to be restored to his post, and the whole family has returned to the Rongguo Mansion that was built by imperial edict.

What a surprising news!

But Jia Huan still remembered that he was severely taught and locked up because he didn't listen to the troupe master at that time.After he was imprisoned for several days, he didn't know about this matter, so he cried until he was dark on the spot, clamoring for the head of the class to send him back to the mansion.And what happened after that... Jia Huan no longer wanted to recall it.

In short, since then, he is no longer the Third Master Huan of Rongguo Mansion, nor is there a master who is his biological father.

Throughout the ages, Jia Huan didn't know how many people had watched his funeral, he only knew that he was one of them.It's very rare for a worthless bastard to get such a decent funeral.Mr. Zheng did that at the beginning, but now he thinks he should be teaching him.

Now that you have lost the Jia family's face, you should die quickly!

However, he, Jia Huan, doesn't listen to teaching.Looking up at the crescent moon beside the bed, Jia Huan had a faint smile on his face, against the cold moonlight, it seemed that there was no warmth at all.

But he remembered what happened that day again, so he couldn't sleep peacefully like this, his state of mind was still not good enough.If Master finds out, he will definitely be taught a lesson.

Jia Huan sighed silently, stepped back to bed and fell asleep.There is still a meeting to be sung tomorrow, and it is the meeting in Zhongshun Prince's Mansion, so you can't go there in a low spirit, or you will be ruined.Which of those dignitaries is easy to serve?

Early in the morning of the second day, when Jia Huan had just woken up and was washing his hands, someone came to announce that "the car of Prince Zhongshun's residence is already waiting outside", telling him to hurry up.Jia Huan didn't dare to be negligent at the moment, so he changed his clothes quickly and left without thinking about breakfast.

The carriage didn't go too fast, and it took half an hour to arrive outside the palace.Even though he was the young master of the Rong Mansion, Jia Huan had never been to such a royal mansion, but he did not expect to have a chance now, and he didn't know if it should be said that it was a trick of luck.The main entrance of Wujian flashed by, and the carriage carrying him stopped at a corner gate.

"Officer Huan is here, hurry up and go in with me. The lord has been waiting for you early in the morning, and he sent someone to ask you two or three times just now." Chang Shi Li Ping was waiting in the corner gate, when he saw Jia Huan When he came, he raised a smile and said.

"Thank you, Mr. Li, for your kindness. It is really a villain. It is the sin of the villain to keep the prince waiting for a long time. The villain is up to you to apologize to the prince." Seeing him, Jia Huan quickly bowed and saluted , with his supporting movement, he quietly stuffed a purse in the past.

Li Ping raised his eyebrows in surprise, and put away his purse unobtrusively, with a slightly more serious smile on his face.While leading Jia Huan to walk in, he lowered his voice and said: "My lord always likes to be obedient and obedient, as long as you can make him happy, you will be of great benefit to me, but don't learn from Qiguan." Then wait for the wink, you know?"

Jia Huan nodded gratefully when he heard the words, but he didn't take it seriously.The story of Qiguan Jiang Yuhan has been spread among the opera troupes in the capital. Many theater troupe owners regard him as a negative example and use it to teach their apprentices who don't listen to teaching. Jia Huan naturally knows it too.

An actor who was praised by his master, just because he was praised by many people, he forgot who he was...Jiang Yuhan ended up like that, Jia Huan didn't think he was wronged at all.He twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, but at least there was still Jia Baoyu around, and someone would shed tears for him.

"In addition, the lord already knows your identity, and I will ask you some inside information. Remember to tell everything, you know? The lord is not on good terms with the Rongguo Mansion. If what you say is right, you may not make him treat the old man differently. .If you can please the prince, you will be secure for the rest of your life." Seeing that he was about to reach the place, Li Ping slowed down his steps and lowered his voice.

identity?Jia Huan paused, followed Li Ping immediately, and bowed his hands to thank him.

Li Ping led Jia Huan to a pavilion in the garden. When Jia Huan looked up without any trace, he found that Prince Zhongshun was already sitting there.When the prince came out of the pavilion, there were still two people sitting there. Jia Huan didn't dare to look closely, but only felt that one was in his early twenties, and the other was only sixteen or seventeen years old.

After Li Ping said "My lord, Guan'er Huan is here", Jia Huan didn't need him to greet him, but even knelt down to kowtow to Prince Zhongshun, and said: "The villain, Guan'er Huan, pays tribute to my lord."

"Well, get up." Prince Zhongshun called out, without introducing the two people around him, he said directly to Jia Huan: "I listened to your "The Drunken Concubine" yesterday. It seems to be a little different from the previous ones, but you changed it yourself? Apart from this one, is there any other drama?"

"Returning to my lord, "The Drunken Concubine" is indeed modified, but it was not written by the villain, but by the master of the villain. In addition to this "Drunken Concubine", there are also "Farewell My Concubine", "Magu Presents Her Birthday" ", "A Dream in the Garden", "Phoenix Returns to the Nest" and so on, have all been corrected by Master." Jia Huan stood in the middle with his hands tied, and first glanced at Prince Zhongshun with surprise, Fang replied.

"Oh? There are still so many operas, are they all new singing styles? You have learned them all, can you sing?" Prince Zhongshun is also a real lover of operas, so he was delighted to hear him say that, so he hurriedly asked road.

"It's all. The villain has studied with the master for more than two years, but he hasn't mastered it. Although he can sing these operas, he can't learn the master. Speaking of which, if the master hadn't been ill a while ago, the villain would It's not time for me to be a teacher yet." Speaking of this, Jia Huan's face paled, and he knew that it was inappropriate to mention this, so he quickly said: "Which one does the prince want to hear, the villain can go down and prepare now? "

"That's a pity. If that's the case, let's sing "The Drunken Concubine" first. Although I listened to it once yesterday, I didn't enjoy it after all. From now on, you can decide on your own, and sing it skillfully." Prince Zhongshun didn't care, he waved his hand casually, and said: "If you sing well, I will reward you a lot, and you can also have a play garden."

Hearing this, Jia Huan kowtowed to express his gratitude, and then Li Ping took him to the back to prepare to go.The man had already walked out of the pavilion, so he looked back at the pavilion.Could it be that King Zhongshun asked him to come here just to listen to the play?

When there were no outsiders in the pavilion, the young man sitting on the left of Prince Zhongshun said, "Uncle Huang, this is the Jia Huan you mentioned? I don't see anything at the moment, and it may not be useful. Besides, you said it yourself, Jia Zheng doesn't care about this bastard at all, he has already announced his death to the outside world, and I'm afraid we won't let him get involved again."

"It must have been the case in the past, and the Jia family would wish to be without him. However, it may not be possible in the future." Prince Zhongshun picked up the tea cup and took a sip comfortably. Seeing that his nephew was still frowning, He said: "When he was an unknown little actor, Jia Zheng naturally wanted him to die, but what if he became the person that the king holds in his palm?"

"Last time, Bagong's family was robbed, but Shui Rong and they put it on my king's head. Can those families not hold grudges against me? They didn't play tricks on me before. It's just that they didn't have a chance, but now ? There is a new backer at the back, and this king is at odds with each other, so why not think about it? There was no chance before, but now that the king gives them a nail, can they not hold on tightly? This Jia Huan may not be able to return to Jia's house, but it does not prevent Jia Zheng from using him."

"What about Jia Huan? How can you guarantee that he can be used? After all, he and Jia Zheng are biological father and son. How do you know that he won't love his father deeply and obey Jia Zheng's words? Maybe, as long as Jia Zheng calls As soon as you say son, this Jia Huan has forgotten everything, and is willing to die for his father." The young man nodded first, but then asked again.

Prince Zhongshun burst out laughing when he heard it, and after a while, he restrained his smile, narrowed his eyes and said: "In this world, there may be such 'filial' sons, but this Jia Huan is definitely not one of them. Don't look at it. Besides, just his eyes told me how much he hates."
