[Red Mansion] Koi Jia Hu

In the blink of an eye for seven springs and autumns, Jia Hu's body has grown from a short, round lotus root to a green lotus stem that does not grow like a willow branch in spring.

The half-grown boy, although he has not yet grown up, but the extraordinary demeanor of adulthood can be seen between the jade-like brows.

At this time, most of the princes who studied together with Jia Hu have left the Shangshufang, and formally entered the imperial court as envoys.Only the sixteenth and seventeenth princes are left to study.

As Tu Yuan's companion, Jia Hu naturally had to leave with Tu Yuan's departure.However, the Emperor and the Empress Dowager did not want Tu Yuan to leave the palace early to open the mansion, so Tu Yuan still stayed in the palace, so even though Jia Hu no longer went to the Shangshufang, he still went to the palace all day long.

"Brother Thirteen! Brother Thirteen! Where are you?"

Jia Hu was the only one who could shout freely in the palace. The palace people hadn't seen his figure, but heard the voice from a long distance away, and Jia Hu's radiant smile appeared in their minds.

Tu Yuan walked out of the study upon hearing the sound, and naturally opened his hands to catch the approaching figure. "Aren't you going to study with Mr. today?"

Tu Yuan said that Jia Hu's husband was none other than Mo Daru who was sweetened by Jia Hu so much that he ate sweets every day.

Jia Hu was a few years younger than Tu Yuan. He was only eleven when Tu Yuan left the Shangshufang, and he had not yet reached the age to stop studying. Therefore, he worshiped Mo Daru as his teacher to study literature, and on the other hand followed his grandfather Zhang. Father studied painting.

Now there are only two princes left in Shangshu's room, Mo Daru can only go to the palace once in three or two days, and the rest of the time is either teaching his great-grandson or Jia Hu.

Jia Hu slid off Tu Yuan's body and stood still, "Did you forget? Today Mister is going to the palace to teach Sixteen and Seventeen."

Jia Hu's appearance is more mature than seven years ago, but because the people around him are always protecting him, and he has less knowledge of human nature, his temperament is still as innocent and pure as before, and his smile is sweet to people's hearts.

Tu Yuan recalled the date, then gently touched the top of Jia Hu's head and said, "I misremembered the date, why are you so happy?"

"Let me tell you, I found more than a dozen small fish cubs in the koi fish tank today. After seven years, Lian'er has grown to the height of my thigh and waist, and they finally gave birth to babies."

Jia Hu jumped up and down with Tu Yuan in his arms, excitedly sharing the good news with Tu Yuan, with shattered starlight flowing in his black and white eyes.

"Really!" The older Tu Yuan grew up, the less he laughed in front of people. Now that he heard that the koi carp, which had been infertile for seven years, had finally given birth to offspring, his eyes lit up with joy, and he couldn't help but smile.

Suddenly, thinking of the koi in his palace that had also been infertile for seven years, the corners of his curved lips flattened suddenly, and his brows frowned. "But why is there still no movement in the one I raised?"

Jia Hu thought for a moment, then made a serious analysis: "Since the birth of Lian'er, I have to wake them up every day. After seven years of uninterrupted urging, I finally gave birth to a litter. I guess it's because you didn't urge them too often. so they didn't grow?"

If the two scheming fishes he raised were present, they would have yelled loudly when they heard what Jia Hu said: It took us seven years to conceive offspring because you urged us every day and we were under a lot of pressure!

However, the two scheming fish are not here, and no one knows the truth.

Jia Hu raised his hand to smooth the wrinkles between Tu Yuan's brows, and suggested, "Why don't I rush them for you?"

As he spoke, Jia Hu naturally took Tu Yuan's hand and walked towards his palace, stopping in front of the fish tank.

Tu Yuan sat aside, watching intently as Jia Hu put half of his head into the fish tank to communicate with the koi.

After a while, Jia Hu stretched out her head, her peach petal-like lips parted slightly, her eyes were round and round, looking very surprised.

He stared at the two fish diving into the bottom of the water, blinked his eyes, and turned his head mechanically to look at Tu Yuan.

"What's wrong?" Tu Yuan pulled him over and asked.

Jia Hu held Tu Yuan's hand instead, opened his mouth, and said, "Brother Thirteen, prepare yourself mentally, I have some bad news to tell you."

Tu Yuan's heart moved, his eyes moved to the fish tank, and he guessed: "Could it be...they are infertile and unable to give birth?"

Jia Hu nodded, then immediately shook his head again.

"What do you mean, can you give birth?" Tu Yuan asked puzzled.

Jia Hu scratched his face, sat next to Tu Yuan, rested his chin on the table, and stared at him with wet eyes. "They can't have babies, but it's not because they are sterile, but because... because the two you raised are males, they can't have babies at all."

Tu Yuan: "..."

Jia Hu quietly took Tu Yuan's little finger, pulled it lightly, and comforted him softly: "Don't be sad, or let's discuss it with the emperor and get a female from him?"

Tu Yuan was expressionless, "Father's few have not given birth to small fish in these years, what if they are all male?"

Jia Hu: "..."

"If it's true as you said, then the master host's vision for picking fish is truly incomparable." Jia Hu's voice became softer as he spoke.

Tu Yuan had a cold face, "You have really good vision..."

Suddenly, a burst of laughter exploded on the ground, and the four people outside the palace gate laughed so distortedly that they couldn't restrain themselves.

"Pfft!"

"Hahahahaha!"

"Oh, it's all male, I'm laughing to death!"

Following the sound and looking towards the gate of the palace, the familiar faces of the Eleventh Prince and others were clearly reflected in Jia Hu's clear black pupils.

He bent his eyes and smiled, trotted over, and pulled the princes who were squatting on the ground laughing into the palace. "When did you come here?"

The Eleventh Prince covered his aching belly and said, "I've been here for quite a while."

"Today we just went to the palace together to visit my mother and concubine. When we heard that you were going to the palace, we all came to Shisan. Unexpectedly, we heard such incredible things. They are all male, hahaha..." The fourteenth prince While laughing, while answering.

Before there was Jia Hu in life, out of precaution, the relationship between Tu Yuan and these half-brothers who were about the same age was not as tense as he was with the prince who had grown up earlier, but it was still quite cold.

However, since Jia Hu entered the palace as a companion seven years ago, everything has changed a lot.

All the princes in Shangshufang back then, except for the Ninth Prince and the Fifteenth Prince who stood by his side, the other six princes had a deeper relationship with Tu Yuan because of Jia Hu, and it developed to the point where they are now laughing and fighting. scruples.

The Sixth Prince and the other first grown-up princes originally thought that when the Eleventh Princes became adults, they would not hesitate to join their big team to fight for the heir apparent, fighting to the death with the prince, which made the battle for the heir apparent more intense. .

In any case, it is unexpected that the facts are completely different from their thoughts.

Because of their close relationship with Tu Yuan and Jia Hu, the four eleventh princes immediately became hardcore princes as soon as they entered the court on an errand.It is expected that when the sixteenth and seventeenth princes become adults, there will be two more assistants in the prince's defense.

But in the court, due to the joining of four people, the advantage of the crown prince's block suddenly became obvious, and the opponents were overwhelmed.

The sixth prince was so angry that he jumped up and down, and he wasted his mind to poach the corner, but he was plotted by Tu Yuan and his partners because of this, and suffered heavy losses.In the end, clutching his furious liver, he locked himself in the room and smashed things, scolding Tu Yuan and the prince for being cunning.

"If it doesn't work, you go and explain the situation to the abbot of the Huguo Temple, and return to the lotus pond of the Huguo Temple to exchange for two female koi." The eleventh prince smiled and said: "There is a reason for the incident, the abbot should understand and won't refuse. "

The Twelfth Prince nodded in agreement, "Eleventh Brother is right. However, Hu'er, the presiding master in the Huguo Temple, guards the lotus pond and the auspicious koi very tightly. Over the years, except for your hands The ones on the top are not even willing to give away a piece of scales. When your koi cubs grow bigger, can you give us one."

"No problem, there are a lot of small fish, everyone has them." Jia Hu readily agreed, and then turned around and said, "You guys are not busy today, do you want to come to my house to have a look?"

"It's necessary. I haven't seen a big tiger for a long time. When I'm looking at the baby fish, I will take a big tiger by the way." The eleventh prince said expectantly, rubbing his hands.

Jia Hu thought about the tigress' recent strange behavior, and reminded: "Dahu has a bad temper recently, so he may not want to be petted by you."

Jia She raised the tigress as a daughter, and the tigress raised his youngest son, Jia Lian, as a son.After Jia Hu didn't have to go to the Shang's study to study with him, the tigress no longer had to send him into the palace, and stayed by Jia Lian's side most of the time.

Tu Yuan asked worriedly: "Have a bad temper? What's wrong? Who made it angry?"

"I've asked Dug a few times, and every time it says it's shy, I'm sorry." Jia Hu puffed his cheeks, "I don't know why Dug is shy?"

Everyone: "..."

They were dumbfounded.

Why is a tiger so shy? !

is that a lie!

Tu Yuan said with a paralyzed face, "I'm sorry, but I can't imagine Dumb being shy."

The four eleventh princes nodded in unison with sullen faces.

A group of people got on the sedan chair because of the shy tigress' complicated heart, left Tu Yuan's palace and went straight to the palace gate.

Stopping in front of the palace gate and refusing to be accompanied by the palace people, Jia Hu and his party were just about to get on their horses when they spotted the figures of the Ninth Prince and the Sixth Prince brothers not far ahead.

It seemed that they had entered the palace to visit their mother.

For several years, the imperial concubine was still in the small concubine position. No matter how hard the sixth prince tried, the emperor had no intention of restoring her imperial concubine position.

On the contrary, the Ninth Prince lifted the confinement and left the palace to open the mansion.

I don't know how the Sixth Prince adjusted him. Over the years, the violent temper of the Ninth Prince has disappeared, but his whole person has become much more gloomy.When looking at people, his eyes are full of viciousness, like a poisonous snake in the dark, making people feel creepy.

Tu Yuan and the eleventh prince put on smirks and greeted the sixth prince brothers who came. "I've seen Brother Six and Brother Nine!"

Jia Hu also followed to meet Li.

The sixth prince nodded slightly, exchanged a few words with them, and then brushed past them.

When he heard the sound of horseshoes behind him, he narrowed his eyes and turned his head, staring at the backs of Tu Yuan and Jia Hu with a slight flicker, until he could no longer see them before turning his gaze away.
