The Ring of Red Mansions is far from the heart

"..." This was the thought that flashed through Jia Huan and Situ Yuan's mind when they saw the man.

"I didn't expect Fifth Brother to be here." Situ Yuan spoke first.The person sitting in the room is Prince Zhongshun.

"It's Little Eleven. I haven't seen you for three years, and you seem to be much more energetic." Then, he turned his head and looked at Jia Huan, "Isn't this the Duke of An? I've wanted to visit the mansion for a long time. It’s a pity, I’m afraid that Xiao Wang’s sudden visit will be abrupt.”

Jia Huan was born delicately, with picturesque features, and his reputation in the capital has spread far and wide in the past few years.If it wasn't for his status being sufficient, with Situ Yuan staring at him like a wolf by his side, as well as the overt and covert maintenance of today, he wouldn't know how many mad bees and butterflies he would have to deal with every day.

King Zhongshun was one of those people who wanted to go further with Jia Huan. Unfortunately, King Zhongshun had a smooth life, but he was only afraid of two people. One was the present, and the other was Situ Yuan who never took him seriously.

It's not necessary now, Situ Yuan and him are both princes and brothers, but there are differences between princes and princes. Situ Yuan holds real power in his hands, which is not comparable to that of an idle prince.

Therefore, although King Zhongshun is absurd, he also knows that Jia Huan is not something he can get his hands on.Today it is rare for him to accompany a new lover to the street, and when he meets him, his eyes are glued to Jia Huan's body.If you can't eat it, you can see it.

But Situ Yuan was not happy anymore, he took a step forward and blocked Jia Huan's figure behind him, "What's wrong with Fifth Brother? Did you take your eyes out of the window?"

King Zhongshun was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized, "Haha, what is Xiao Shiyi talking about? Everyone loves to see beauties, Xiao Shiyi is too stingy." After speaking, he shook his head.

These words reached Situ Yuan's heart, not to mention Jia Huan's more and more refined face, even Huan'er's temperament became more and more attractive.As soon as he went to the street, he discovered that on the street, no matter whether it was a man or a woman, there was no one who didn't look at Huan'er, and some even fell down and made a fool of themselves because they were so fascinated by it.

For a moment, he wanted to take Jia Huan home and hide it, so that no one would see it.He even regretted his act of committing suicide today, and couldn't be more heartbroken.

But he can't, not to mention that Jia Huan is not the kind of person who needs to be attached to him, coupled with Jia Huan's talent, he is an extremely important person in the country and family, whether it is a bamboo horse or a prince of a country , he was not allowed to hide Jia Huan, so he was even more frustrated.

Now that King Zhongshun has poked his heart in the face, how can you feel better?

So he dragged a chair over, sat on it, and stared at King Zhongshun without blinking.

That kind of aura coming from the battlefield can overwhelm King Zhongshun.The shopkeeper at the side was also scared to kneel, not to mention the new love who followed King Zhongshun.

Jia Huan shook his head helplessly, is it really okay to be scary like this?I couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so I tugged Situ Yuan's sleeves from the back, and it was almost enough. Did you almost pee in fright without seeing those people?

Well, it's a rare time for the two of them to take a break and go shopping, so they can't waste energy and time on these insignificant people and things, "Fifth brother, we two brothers haven't got together for a long time, the younger brother is the host tonight, let's go How about a drink from 'Tao Ranju'?"

Prince Zhongrui invited him, and King Zhongshun dared not refuse, so he agreed happily.

Seeing that Situ Yuan had returned to normal, Jia Huan ignored the two brothers, turned to the shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, I want to see some top-quality jade, take out the best ones from your silver house."

The shopkeeper nodded and went down to get the best jade from them, while slandering in his heart: Is this master kidding me? !Is there anything good in Anguo Mansion, so I have to come to our little silver house.Besides, even if the An Guo Mansion doesn't exist, then the Zhongrui Prince's Mansion definitely does.

He had heard that Prince Zhongrui evacuated the royal family of Beisha this time!Tsk, thinking of the carloads of gold, silver and jewels that the army brought back when the army returned to the court that day, is it red?

Forget it, it's a kind of blessing for people to see their silver house, isn't it?It's better to take out the owner's previous collection and let the master pick it out, maybe you can catch up with these two, and then you will be prosperous.

So, when Jia Huan saw the jade that the shopkeeper carefully took out on the tray, he shouted that he was the right person to come today.

At this time, Jia Huan was holding a piece of red jade in his hand. As the saying goes: "Jade hanging red is priceless", which means that red jade is extremely precious.Because of the scarcity and preciousness of Hetian red jade, ordinary people can't see this thing at all, as long as a piece of red jade is produced, it is all good.

As for the piece in Jia Huan's hand, it was obviously because of its small size, it was only the size of a pigeon's egg, and it was not enough for entry.But it is delicate and compact. Should we say the uncanny workmanship of nature?Perhaps it was precisely because of this that he was intercepted by the owner of the "Yongxing Silver Building".Not to mention, there are Hetian Hongyu in his mansion, but there really isn't one that looks so delicate.

It just so happens that this piece is enough to make a small pendant for the little girl.It seems that the reason why this piece of red jade has not been bought is because it is too small.In today's Jing Dynasty, jade is basically carved into jade pendants or jade plaques, while pendants are more popular in later generations.

"Shopkeeper, how much can you sell this piece of ruby?" Jia Huan looked at the small piece of ruby ​​in his hand fondly and asked.

The shopkeeper wanted to establish a good relationship with Prince Zhongrui's Mansion and Anguo Mansion, and directly quoted a price that was not very high.

Situ Yuan raised his eyebrows, Jia Huan didn't know, but he was very aware of the value of this kind of Hetian Hongyu in the folk, plus the piece in front of him, "is as bright as a cockscomb, with a lustrous grease, its purple part is like blood coagulation, and its red part is like Cinnabar, delicate and moist in texture", it is obviously the best Hetian Hongyu.The shopkeeper quoted such a low price, needless to say, Situ Yuan could also know why.

When Jia Huan heard that the price was not high, he was very happy at first, but then he changed his mind and realized it.His "Daughter's Workshop" also has top-quality jade, and the price of this Hetian red jade is obviously lowered by the shopkeeper.

"Shopkeeper, Ming people don't say dark words. We all know that although this piece of ruby ​​is a little small, the price can't be the price that the shopkeeper just quoted, right? Is it?"

The shopkeeper sneered, with embarrassment on his face that the diorama had been ripped apart, "Master Huan didn't know that this piece of Hetian red jade was originally obtained by accident when our boss went to Hetian to find good materials a few years ago. Although this thing The price is not low, but as the saying goes, flowers are given to beauties, and swords are given to heroes. Although this piece of red jade is not good enough, no one can say that it is not good. Only the two of you can hold it down. So the young one made his own claim and quoted a price for the cost, hoping Master Huan would accept it."

"..." Jia Huan said that he is also a talent for being able to shoot flattery so well.It was really hard for him to refuse what the shopkeeper said, so he instinctively looked at Prince Zhongrui.

But he knew that the one they really wanted to curry favor with was this master, and Jia Huan had nothing to do with him.

Situ Yuan received Jia Huan's distress, reached out to take the piece of ruby ​​in his hand and looked at it carefully.To be honest, this piece of red jade was really too small. He remembered that there was a palm-sized top-quality Hetian Hongyu in his private treasury, and he wondered if he would give it to Huan'er then?

"Huan'er, what can you do with such a small thing?" Situ Yuan didn't understand, he didn't want the big one, but he liked such a small jade.

"I gave it to my niece. Such a small person is too big to be crushed on her. This piece is just right. Make it into a necklace and hang it to match the little girl. Do you understand?"

King Zhongshun spoke at this time, "I'm talking about the shopkeeper. Just now, the king said that he wanted a good jade. It's better for you to keep the good ones, and give the king some things that are not worth it. You look down on me. Wang, what's the matter?"

The shopkeeper immediately knelt down, "Your Highness, calm your anger, you don't dare to have such a heart. Isn't this because this piece of ruby ​​is too small, besides making it an accessory for children, only women will like it By the way, I see that you always chose these two types of people, so I didn't show it to hinder your old eyes, right?"

After some words, King Zhongshun couldn't get angry, and the person who was going to buy this piece of ruby ​​was Jia Huan...

"It makes sense. That's all right, let's forget about it."

Situ Yuan smiled, "Why should fifth brother embarrass the shopkeeper, okay, let's not wait until the evening, wait for Huan'er to pay the money, let's go to Tao Ranju and sit down. I heard from Huan'er that recently Tao Ranju A lot of new dishes can be created.”

After finishing speaking, he looked at Jia Huan, Jia Huan nodded, and took out a bank note from his bosom without looking at it, so he just gave it to the shopkeeper, "I can't really take advantage of you, I accept these Let’s go.” Seeing that the shopkeeper was still about to talk, Jia Huan waved his hand, “If you don’t accept the money today, I don’t want this piece of red jade either. Anyway, there are so many silver buildings in the capital, and I don’t believe it. Not a single piece that suits my heart."

Hearing what Jia Huan said, the shopkeeper took the bank note from Jia Huan just now.Anyway, his goal has been achieved, even though he didn't realize his idea of ​​half-selling and half-giving away, but the attitude is put on, and if we meet in the future, can we still ask each other well?

After paying the money, King Zhongshun was dragged by Situ Yuan to "Tao Ranju". As for King Zhongshun's new love, he was sent back to Prince Zhongshun's mansion.

It didn't take long for the three of them to arrive at Jia Huan's private room in the "Tao Ran Residence". The view here was excellent, and they could see more than [-]% of the seats in the entire Tao Ran Residence, as well as all kinds of people coming in and out.

As soon as the three of them sat down, King Zhongshun asked: "Unexpectedly, this 'Yinranju' who is full of the capital is actually the property of An Guogong. This king is really eye-opening."

Jia Huan smiled embarrassingly, reached out to pick up the tea served in the private room, and filled it up for Situ Yuan and King Zhongshun.

"Tell me, why did you drag me here?"

Situ Yuan looked at his fifth brother, and said with a smile: "Fifth brother really wants to live like this for the rest of his life? I remember that fifth brother is two years younger than third brother, right?"

King Zhongshun stared into Situ Yuan's eyes for a long time, "Why would Little Eleven ask such a question? Third brother asked you to come?"

Situ Yuan shook his head, "Third brother has a lot of things to do recently, so I don't have time to think about you. Just thinking about it, the fifth brother was talented back then. When he was in the Chongwen Museum, he was often praised by his master. Now It’s a pity that it has become like this.”

Zhongshun gave a wry smile and didn't speak for a long time. After a while, he said: "I don't care if you are a lobbyist for the third brother or not. I'm not afraid of you telling him. As the saying goes: If you win the king or lose the crown, I voluntarily gave up that day." That's right, the third brother also gave me a way to survive, that would be great. As for what talent is not, I should forget about it. Is little eleven satisfied?"

"I'm not satisfied!"

King Zhongshun became curious, "Oh? Why is this?"

Situ Yuan put his hand on the table, thought for a while, and then said: "In the past few years, the third brother has sent many spies overseas every year, the fifth brother should know about it, right?"

"Of course? But what does this matter have to do with me?" King Zhongshun was really curious.

"After those spies came back, more than one person said that there are many unclaimed lands overseas. Those western countries, such as Yingjili and Fransya, all sent troops to these unowned lands to seize the territory. .”

King Zhongshun's eyes lit up, he seemed to understand what Situ Yuan wanted to say, "Xiao Shiyi means..."

Nodded, "That's right, there was a battle for the heirloom that day, and there were only three of us brothers left. Originally, the third brother wanted me to do this, but Huan'er can't leave Beijing now, and I don't think so." With great ambition, I just want to stay in the capital to accompany him. But this matter can't be delayed, so I think of you."

King Zhongshun was silent, as if he was thinking carefully.

"Fifth brother doesn't need to reply me at this time, you can think about it after you go back." Turning to Jia Huan who opened his mouth wide and looked surprised, "Huan'er, let them serve the food, I'm hungry .”

"Ah... oh... good..."

Looking at the cute and cute Jia Huan in front of him, Situ Yuan's heart softened, he couldn't hold back, and stretched out his hand to mess up Jia Huan's hair.

"Ah... my hair!"

"Hahaha."

Seeing the two people fighting in front of him, King Zhongshun's eyes flashed with envy. It seems that Xiao Shiyi's proposal is not bad?
