The Ring of Red Mansions is far from the heart

Situ Yuan's return gave him a big vacation, but Lin Hai was almost busy.

Not to mention anything else, the imperial court can get 8% of the war compensation, [-] million taels of silver, and [-]% of the [-] taels of silver. The officials of the household department really counted the money. Cramp, pain and joy.

For a while, the Ministry of Households was short of manpower. As a last resort, Lin Hai had to borrow manpower from the other five departments. Of course, the Hanlin Academy was Lin Hai's other base camp, so the manpower inside would definitely be loaned out.Furthermore, Jia Huan was directly arrested for "disciples who have something to do."

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jia Huan contributed Arabic numerals and the accounting method of later forms, and the efficiency has indeed been improved a lot.

Lin Hai was busy with business and the girl leaving the cabinet, so he almost got tired and lay down.After a few days when Jia Huan was too busy to see anyone, Situ Yuan broke out and took Jia Huan to go shopping without saying a word.

Jia Huan was speechless, two big men, where are you shopping?Not to mention, there really isn't much to do in this ancient street market.

"Isn't Yan Zhongwen (Yan Feng's word) about to become a father? Seeing his embarrassing look recently, I really want to punch him in the face. But, didn't you still talk about it last time, and you want to give him Is your second sister preparing a gift?"

After Situ Yuan said this, Jia Huan finally remembered.It's true, those who have been so busy these past few days have forgotten that this evening is He Xi.

"If you don't tell me I've forgotten, let's go." Now, it was Jia Huan who pulled Situ Yuan away instead.

"What are you planning to buy? Haven't you been born yet? Both men and women don't know yet!" Situ Yuan was very curious.

"Don't worry about that. My second sister's baby should be a girl. I'll go to Yushixuan to see if I'm lucky enough to meet a top-quality jade or a good jade pendant." Jia Huan had made up her mind. .

"Don't you have a lot of top-quality jade in your house? Is it necessary to buy it?" Situ Yuan expressed his incomprehension, and stopped to look at Jia Huan.

Jia Huan also stopped, "Those were sent by others, or they were rewarded today. It's good, but if I just give those to my little niece, it would be too dishonest. This is my first niece. "

Situ Yuan shook his head, "You have more ideas." Having said that, he reluctantly dragged Jia Huan to the largest silver building in the capital.

"It's not enough for me to prepare one. Needless to say, the second sister, sister Lin is getting married soon, and the child will be next year, and my own sister, although she married as a princess, I still have to give her Prepare some dowry, but don’t let people look down on you, it’s still my face.” Jia Huan was also very helpless, he had too many sisters, and he was destined to have no children, this business was a loss !

There was enough time, the two of them didn't go to the silver building right away, but walked and strolled, saw something pleasing to the eye, and bought it directly.

Recently, Jia Huan's four major maids have all married off, and when they come back, they all belong to someone else's family, and they can't do the work of a maid.Jia Huan felt that he had grown up and no longer needed a maid to serve him, so he didn't ask anyone to find a maid to serve him.

"Such small gadgets, why do you like to buy them so much? If you want them, I can bring you a cart back with a tael of silver later." Situ Yuan was very puzzled.

He gave him a blank look, "Do you think this is what I want?"

"Isn't it?" Really curious.

Wrinkled his nose, "This is for the older sisters and the fourth younger sister. Their girls like these little things, and they also want the delicate, beautiful, simple but not vulgar, straight but not clumsy. As for what you said One tael of silver per cart, not to mention them, even I may not be interested in it."

To be honest, Situ Yuan has never had long-term contact with women.His biological mother died early, and he was adopted by the queen mother. In the palace, he was used to seeing all kinds of conspiracies and tricks made by women, and felt that he couldn't play with the backyard with too many women, so he decided not to marry a wife. thought.

Therefore, this Prince Zhongrui really doesn't know anything about what women like.

Looking at Jia Huan's stall after stall, he would stop and take a look whenever he saw a small object that was exquisitely made and looked good.After a long time, Situ Yuan also noticed something interesting.

At this time, the two of them were standing on a small stall full of bamboo and rattan weaving. Jia Huan was holding a small butterfly-shaped hairpin made of bamboo in his hand, and looked at it carefully.Although the hairpin made of this kind of material is not worth much, it looks really exquisite.

Situ Yuan picked up a small stove made of green vines beside it, it looked really cute, and there was even a goshawk made of bamboo strips.He took the goshawk in his hand and looked at it. Those eagle eyes were sharp, energetic and lifelike.

"It's really good. It's no wonder your sisters like these. I find it interesting to watch." Situ Yuan said with a smile.

Jia Huan raised her chin, feeling a little complacent, "Let me just say, I really didn't know how to pick these things before, but I insisted on bringing them something every time I went shopping. In the past, every time I brought something, I was criticized as penniless. Later, they gradually started to catch a few things in their eyes, and up to now, they haven't left their teachers yet."

"Haha, that's all right, let's pick it out, and it's time to go to the silver building after the selection is over." The two stopped chatting, but concentrated on picking up the small things that looked good.

In fact, the reason why Jia Huan would bring these small items to Daiyu and others was mainly inspired by the first life of Tanchun to ask Jia Baoyu to buy these small items. Girls, most of them like this kind of cute and delicate items. .And the facts proved that his decision was correct.

Now every time he goes out, whether it's Lin Daiyu, Yingchun before she got married, Tanchun and Xichun now, they all look forward to what he can bring back.

And he also heard that since Yingchun came out of the pavilion, every time Yan Feng went out, Yingchun would let him bring these small things back. What Jia Huan experienced that day, reincarnated on Yan Feng again, making Yan Feng was miserable.

Jia Huan couldn't help laughing when he thought of Yan Feng running up to him to complain that day.

"What's wrong? Did you think of something funny?" Situ Yuan noticed immediately.

"It's nothing, I just remembered that my second brother-in-law ran up to me the day before yesterday and said that I made a bad start. Now every time he goes out, the second sister will ask him to bring these things home. As a result, he was approved every time. It's not worth it, I'm so stuffed." Jia Huan shared this matter with Situ Yuan with a smile.

Situ Yuan shook his head, "With Zhongwen's temperament, if your second sister's birth is really a daughter, I'm afraid he will have to bear it in the future."

"Who says it's not?" Jia Huan agreed very much, saying that her daughter was a lover in a previous life, and with Yan Feng's temperament, it is really possible to do such a thing.

The two of them picked and picked, Situ Yuan picked bamboo goshawks, horses, carts and other things that men like more, while Jia Huan mainly picked things for his sisters, of course, he picked them for exquisiteness. Such as butterflies, flowers, hairpins, bracelets and so on.

When there was nothing left to pick out, Jia Huan directly called Li Qiu over, "You take these back to the mansion first, by the way, you have to send a share to Yan's mansion." Turning his head to look The ones that Situ Yuan picked, "Where's yours? Where to move?"

"Send it to the palace. Those girls who want to come here will look down on them. It's better not to bother them." Situ Yuan also called Mo Yan over, and Situ Yuan's book boys and servants have followed him in the past few years They went to the front line, and when they came back, they all did well, and they all got some moderate fame, which can be regarded as being able to glorify their ancestors.

However, there were also a few who were reluctant to leave the Palace. After all, the Palace had given them a starting point for success, and Situ Yuan had treated them well, so these people were willing to stay.Ink inkstone is one of them.

"Yes." The two stepped forward to take the things the masters picked, and then walked directly to their respective mansions.

Jia Huan looked at it and asked, "How much does the thing we picked cost?"

The stall owner laughed so hard that he couldn't see his teeth. He heard Jia Huan asking and waved his hand, "Not much, just two hundred dollars is enough."

Jia Huan nodded, it was really not expensive, and waved Gu Yu to give the money to the stall owner.

The stall owner took the money with gratitude and watched the two big customers leave.

This time, the two went directly to the largest silver building in the capital.

The silver building is called "Yongqing", and it is located in the middle of the most prosperous Zhuque Street in the capital. It occupies a large area and has three stores.As soon as the two of them arrived at the gate of the silver building, Xiao Er immediately stepped forward.

"My lord, please come inside, what do you two want to see? Whether it's gold, silver, jewellery, jade or emerald, we have everything you need in this silver building." Xiaoer looks at all kinds of people every day, what kind of people don't see Pass?Besides, in this area of ​​the capital, if someone comes out casually, they may be relatives with some young master or person in charge in some mansion, so it won't work if you are not careful.Besides, these two masters are dressed in brocade clothes, and their aura is even stronger than others. They seem to be the kind of people who have been in high positions for a long time, so they have to be more careful.

"Where's your shopkeeper?" Jia Huan went straight to the point as soon as he entered the silver building. What he wanted to buy was top-quality jade, and this little girl didn't look good.

Xiao Er hurriedly bowed, "You two wait a moment, Xiao Er will go and find the shopkeeper." Then he turned and left.

"I just can't figure it out, isn't there a lot of jade jewelry in our Nuerfang? Isn't it good to go there?" Situ Yuan suddenly remembered that they still have a 'Nuerfang'.

"We know what's in there. The main reason I came here today is to see the style of jewelry and jade pendants made by other people. This is called knowing the enemy and knowing the enemy!" Jia Huan looked around. , and whispered to Situ Yuan at the same time, since he came to spy on the military situation, he couldn't let the store know, otherwise it would be embarrassing.

The corners of Situ Yuan's mouth twitched. When it comes to the style of this jewelry, there is really no silver house that can compare to 'Nu Nu Fang'. Huan'er is not confident in herself?This is not going to work, I have to work hard to build up Huan'er's confidence when I go back.

Situ Yuan was silently thinking about how to rebuild Jia Huan's confidence, while Jia Xiaohuan looked around, really trying to spy.

At this time, the shopkeeper has not come out yet, it seems that the shopkeeper has customers.The two of them were not in a hurry, and looked here and there from time to time.

Not long after, the waiter came out with the shopkeeper.

As soon as the shopkeeper came out, he saw two very conspicuous teenagers standing there, and he immediately put on a smiley face, "My lord, I'm really sorry, there was a customer just now, so I have been negligent, I have been negligent." When he was there, the shopkeeper was still not happy, thinking about how big a customer two teenagers could be?

When I came out to see now, one of these two was Prince Zhongrui. When Situ Yuan’s army returned to Beijing that day, today he personally greeted him ten miles away. They were very impressed.No need to ask, the other one is An Guogong.

"Is the shopkeeper finished?" Jia Huan asked with a half-smile.

"I'm done with my work, what do you two want to see?" The shopkeeper smiled obsequiously.

"Do you have any better jade in your silver building? If you have any, show me." Today, the two of them can be regarded as traveling in low clothes, and they don't want people everywhere to worship them, so they are called Shangming approachable many.

"Yes, yes, you two will sit with the younger one at the back first, and the younger one will go and get you two jade stones." The shopkeeper led the way and took the two of them to the small room where he usually works. .

Jia Huan saw, oh, there is still a person sitting in the room.
