Ring Lord of the Red Chamber

The eldest house of Rongguo Mansion, or the elder couple of Rongguo Mansion, lived in a separate three-entry courtyard on the east side of the entire mansion.This courtyard was rebuilt from the garden of Rongguo Mansion, so there are trees, mountains and rocks everywhere in the courtyard, and the houses, verandahs and verandahs are all small and unique.In this capital city located in the north, it can be regarded as having a unique style.

If we only talk about this house, Elder She is not dissatisfied with living in it, after all this is where he has lived for decades.He grew up in front of his grandmother since he was a child, and moved here when he was ten years old. Since then, except for expansion when he got married, he has never moved away.Satisfaction is satisfaction, but only...

Why, he, the eldest grandson of Duke Rong, the Grand Master of Rongguo Mansion who inherited the ancestral title, let go of the magnificent Rongguo Mansion's main hall, and was reduced to be neighbors with those horses and mules?Whenever the night is quiet, you can hear the melodious and faint whispers of the "neighbors".

It’s all right to give up the Rongxi Hall built by imperial imperial edict to the second son of Zheng. Simply put, the place is too upright and magnificent, and the master doesn’t like it if he lives there, but why should places like stables be placed by his door?Every time he went out, he had to meet these "neighbors" face to face. How could this make him feel sorry for Jia Enhou? !

Because of these "neighbors", Mr. Xi is in a depressed mood whenever he goes out, so he has developed a disposition that he doesn't like to go out, and likes to play with some antique calligraphy and paintings in his hands.Whenever he gets impatient staying in the house, the master likes to stroll in the garden to relieve his boredom.

It was the same on this day, Elder She packed up the ancient paintings at hand, and then wandered alone in the garden with a folding fan in his sleeve, without asking the people below to follow.Now this season is the flowering period of sweet-scented osmanthus and chrysanthemum, which is worth admiring.By the way, the master is still slipping by the garden wall, trying to find his childhood "playmate".

Grandpa She grew up in front of his grandparents. Since he was a child, he was pampered by the two elders and became a little lawless.He remembered that the dog hole was in the corner of the garden, hidden behind a clump of tall grass.

Unexpectedly, after this search, it is both regretful and arousing to teach and amnesty.

Regrettably, the dog hole of the playmate back then has been lost, presumably someone has already blocked it.It should be like this, I had a good time playing that day, but afterwards even the master got a fat beating, let alone the "accomplice" Goudong.

The riser, however, saw a little guy in the corner, a little guy who was supposed to be too sick to get out of bed in the legend, but at this moment he was standing there striding horses, and he still looked good.How can such a little guy not make the master very interested.

"Come on, come on, come on, Brother Huan, come here quickly, let me take a good look, but the disease has been cured?" Elder Xi shook his folding fan again and again, smiling and not making a sound.It wasn't until he saw Jia Xiaohuan retracted his posture that he waved to the little guy.

Jia Xiaohuan pinched her sleeves and wiped the sweat from her forehead.Although he has already started exercising, but the time is still short now, only half an hour after Zama, he is already sweating from exhaustion.However, fortunately, he had the person to wait for.

"Huan'er has seen Uncle." After straightening her clothes, Jia Xiaohuan walked up to Jia Amnesty on her short legs, and bowed deeply.Of course, with his current age and image, although this ceremony can be seen to be respectful, it can be seen that it is more cute and funny.

Therefore, Elder She laughed on the spot, didn't say anything about excuses, and just bent down and hugged him into his arms.He even threw people up and turned them upside down to try their weight.Feeling the weight of the pressing hand, the elder found a flat rock and sat down, and put the little guy on his lap, "Tell me, how is your body?"

In two lifetimes of life, Jia Xiaohuan has never been teased like this before, she stared at a pair of big black and white eyes, opened her mouth slightly and was speechless.He never knew that his uncle was like this, he would hug the child and tease him with a smile.

Jia Xiaohuan didn't know whether Jia Lian had experienced the two sons of the uncle, but he knew that his cousin Jia Cong had never endured it.He and Jia Cong grew up together, often playing together, playing truant and being mischievous.When I heard Jia Cong mentioning my father, I always looked timid and frightened.

"What's the matter? Look at me with a dumbfounded look on my face, and I'll surprise you like this when I hug you?" Elder She sighed inwardly, still pinching Jia Xiaohuan's chin with a smile.He knew in his heart that it was not because his children were frightened, it was because his usual image was created too well.well--

Jia Xiaohuan came back to her senses, and smiled shyly at Jia Amnesty.He didn't know why his uncle was indifferent to his children, but he must have his own reasons.This matter has nothing to do with him, and he doesn't need to figure it out, but if he sees Jia Cong someday, he can mention it to him, maybe it will improve the relationship between father and son.

"Uncle, I'm telling you, don't tell anyone." Jia Xiaohuan timidly rubbed her little hands, looked around for anyone, then leaned into Jia She's ear, and whispered: "My illness is already cured, but I don't want to go to the master and wife to say hello to them every day, so I have been pretending to be sick."

"Oh? Why? As a son of man, it is a daily ritual to serve your parents every morning and evening. Why don't you want to? Huan'er, this is not the behavior of a good boy. Tell your uncle, what will happen to you?" Why?" Hearing this, Elder Xi didn't immediately turn against the little guy, and asked in detail in a calm tone.

Xu Shi had something to say and didn't know what to say, Jia Xiaohuan babbled for a while, then Fang said angrily: "No, don't blame me. I went to pay my respects to the master, but I couldn't see him every time, and was reprimanded by the boy." When it was my wife's turn, I had to wait in the yard for a long time. In summer, it was always hot and my hands and feet were swollen. When I was able to go in, I had to copy Buddhist scriptures for my wife... But , Uncle, Huan'er doesn't know those characters at all, and she will be scolded if she doesn't copy well. Also, there is the old lady..."

Master She was listening to the little guy's complaints quietly, and he looked down on the second and second political couple in his heart.Although the master doesn't care much about the children, whenever the children come to say hello, he calls them in immediately.If the weather is bad or the mood is not good, they will order someone to pass the word and tell the children not to come.In any case, it will not be like those two.

At this time, when the little guy suddenly heard the old lady mentioned, Elder She couldn't help but startled his eyes, and couldn't care less about the contempt for the second and second couple.I can still hear the complaints of the little guy on my leg, but my thoughts have already drifted to decades ago, when I was a little guy.

"The old lady can't get in. Every time, she walks outside the upper room, kneels and kowtows, and then calls back. She doesn't even ask to enter the courtyard door of the upper room. Uncle, I know I can't pretend to be sick to say hello. Not good, but I just don’t want to go again. They don’t like me, and I don’t want to like them.” At the end, Jia Xiaohuan’s eyes were already red, and there was water in her big eyes.

Through the water in his eyes, he fixedly stared at his uncle Jia She, seeing that his face was filled with sadness.Jia Huan is just a bastard, or a bastard born to a slave, it's not unusual to be treated like this.But the eldest uncle is the eldest son and grandson. I heard that he was not much better than him with his parents back then, but it is unusual.

Master She really thought of himself back then, when he was the little guy's age, whenever he wanted to greet the master and wife, he seemed to be very unwilling.

After all, when he was with the master, he was always reprimanded, and he never even got a word of praise. Up to now, he remembered the most clear sentence from the master, which was "Look at how your brother Zhenger is doing"; It's similar to this little guy, most of them kowtow outside the door, and they don't even see each other.Speaking of which, he should be thankful that he was supported by his grandparents back then, but no one dared to let him endure the severe cold and heat outside.

"Silly thing, how long can you pretend to be sick? Sooner or later there will be a better day. Besides, if the old lady and the second child know about these little tricks that can't be put on the table, you don't know how much you will suffer." Well. At that time, it's not that the hands and feet are swollen from the cold, but I'm afraid they will be swollen from being hit by the board."

Master She sighed secretly, and when he lowered his head to meet the little guy's watery eyes, his heart softened immediately.He scratched the little guy's nose and said disapprovingly: "Huan'er, you are still young, maybe you don't know, this is not a long-term solution. Besides, once it is exposed, your reputation will definitely be damaged, which will affect your future. There's no benefit at all."

Back then, even though he was loved by his grandparents, they always coaxed and persuaded him, but they never asked him to pretend to be sick to avoid asking for peace.But now it's Brother Huan's turn, as a concubine and meeting such a father and concubine mother, one might be expelled from the house.

"But, I just don't want to go..." Jia Xiaohuan also felt scared when she heard this, shrank her small body softly, and buried her face in the arms of Mr. She.

The elder heard that he was still stubborn, but he already knew that he was afraid in his heart, so he couldn't help but feel relieved.He embraced him in his arms and patted him on the back twice before digging him out of his arms to look at him.Seeing this, I couldn't help laughing again.

Probably because he wanted to pretend to be sick, the little guy had put a lot of makeup on his face, and it looked like white flowers just now.At this moment, if I was afraid, I would drop the golden peas, and rubbed them in the master's arms twice, and I couldn't look at her pretty face.After a good laugh for a while, Elder Xi took out his handkerchief, and wiped Xiaohua's face clean.

"Well, although I can't tell you not to ask, and I can't reason with your parents, it's hard to give you advice. How about this, wait until you recover from illness tomorrow, I will grant a wish, What do you think? As long as Brother Huan proposes it, Uncle Huan will definitely help you realize it.” Master Xi’s words are quite comprehensive, and if a little doll can have such a big wish, I don’t believe him. It can't be done.

When Jia Xiaohuan heard it, her eyes lit up, and she quickly hugged her uncle's arm, raised her face, and asked in a low voice: "Really, is it true, uncle really promises anything? Anything is possible." Promise..." This is really a sleepy pillow, the uncle is a good man!

"Uh...Of course, of course I agree." Even though he said that, Mr. Ke She suddenly felt a little uneasy.Seeing this little guy's eyes, why does the master feel that something is going to happen? !
