The Ring of the Red Chamber and the Nine Heavens

After Jia Huan left, Aunt Zhao began to direct the maids to tidy up the house, unpacking and washing the bedding and other things that Jia Huan had used when he was ill. Looking at the pair of unfinished shoes, he was thinking in his heart that it is cold today, Huaner will not catch cold at school, and there are a few pieces of carbon. I don’t know if he will remember to ask Youer to add it. Thieves, if the master doesn't send them, they will be happy to rest!And the lunch meals are all provided by the school, I don't think it will be delicious, and I don't know if Huan'er can eat it?

At the end of Shenshi, guessing that Jia Huan was about to come back, Aunt Zhao couldn't sit still, and got up frequently to look out of the yard.Who knew Jia Huan would never come back when the sun was setting in the west, but someone was sent from the big kitchen to ask why Aunt Zhao didn't send someone to bring her and Brother Huan's separate meals?

Aunt Zhao had no choice but to apologize and asked someone to put it back into the pot to heat it up again. The kitchen man curled his lips and said: "The finished ones have to be put back into the heat again, and later you will complain that the color of the vegetables is not fresh, or The dishes have been kept for a long time and the taste is not delicious. We don't want to serve the masters of the first floor, but only prepare for your floor!"

How could Aunt Zhao bear these words, she immediately exploded, dropped a bowl of delivered food, yelled at the people in the kitchen for a while, and then returned to her room angrily under the persuasion of several maids Sulking, and thinking that Huan'er is disgusting, he didn't go home early on the first day of school, he must have hidden somewhere to play and forgot to go home, wait for him to come back and see how his mother treats him, so that he can have a long memory , I will still be playful and not greedy in the future!

Waiting a little further until Xu time, some of the early sleepers in the mansion sent the servant girls out to fetch hot water to wash and prepare for bed, but Aunt Zhao did not see Jia Huan back yet.

Aunt Zhao suddenly had a bad thought in her impatience: something happened to Huan'er on the road, right?Or kidnapped by thieves?

Thinking about it this way, Aunt Zhao couldn't sit still any longer, so she stood up and ran back and forth to Mrs. Jia's room, so that the old lady could make up her mind. After all, if Huan'er doesn't invite her to see her again, she is also her grandson, isn't she?Unexpectedly, the maids at the door stopped Aunt Zhao from going in, saying that it was the old lady who had just had dinner, and she was talking and laughing with Baoyu and the girls, and she wanted to ask you to run in to stir up the interest, the old lady turned her head Why don't you scold us to death?

Aunt Zhao couldn't help it, and suddenly remembered that Jia Zheng was taking a rest today, her eyes lit up, and she ran to the outer study where Jia Zheng often stayed without touching the ground.

Jia Zheng was chatting with Mr. Xianggong's cleaners when he saw Aunt Zhao barging in recklessly, scaring the crowd of cleaners to avoid them, so he said with a straight face, "Don't stay in your own room." Come on, what are you running around? If you want to find me, you should also call a maid to pass the message, and I will go to you."

Aunt Zhao burst into tears and said: "Master, I was so anxious that I didn't care about all these rules. Huan'er... Could it be that he was lost by those dog slaves? Sooner or later No one has come back yet!"

Jia Zheng hurriedly asked what was going on, and Aunt Zhao cried and said, "Huan'er left school with Baoyu, but Baoyu and his long-term followers came back at the beginning of the year, but Huan'er hasn't come back yet. Not only did he not come back, even the four servants who followed him didn’t come back, either because they were kidnapped or lost by the dog slaves, they were afraid of being beaten when they came back, so they ran away by themselves, right? "

Jia Zheng was startled and said, "Is there such a thing? Isn't Huan'er supposed to go to school with Baoyu? Why did Baoyu come back, but Huan'er and others didn't come back?"

Aunt Zhao just looked at him with teary eyes, crying out of breath.

Jia Zheng ordered the boys to call the housekeeper, Baoyu and Baoyu's people to understand the situation.

Baoyu was eating snacks and chatting with Daiyu and Sanchun in Jia's house for fun at Jia's mother's place, when he suddenly heard the master call him, it was like a Jiao Lei suddenly ringing in the blue sky, frightened out of his wits, twisting on Jia Mother just dare not go.

Jia's mother was also afraid that Baoyu would suffer from his father, and asked the maid who sent the message, it was almost time to go to bed now, what did the master ask Baoyu to do.

The maid who sent the message said: "It is said that the third master Huan has not come back so late, and Aunt Zhao is crying in front of the master, so the master asked the second master Bao to go over and ask."

Jia's mother curled her lips and said, "Aunt Zhao just likes to pretend to be a coquettish girl to coax the master. Her ring, she must have forgotten the time to go home because of fun, but even Baoyu is to blame for this!"

Then, Jia Mu coaxed Baoyu again and said, "Don't be afraid, I'll ask a maid to go to your mother later to ventilate, and ask your mother to ask about this too. With your mother here, I can't call you." You are at a disadvantage!"

Jia Baoyu was relieved after hearing this, and followed the maid who sent the message.

When we arrived at Jia Zheng's place, there was already a group of people in the room, giving advice to Jia Zheng.Jia Zhengzheng had no claim. Seeing Baoyu coming, he immediately asked with fire in his eyes: "Scream of death! You and Huan'er went to school together, why didn't you take care of your brother, and ran back by yourself first?"

Jia Baoyu explained tremblingly, "Master, Huan'er and I are not in the same car. How can I take care of him?"

When Jia Zheng heard this, he frowned and asked, "Why don't you take the same car with Huan'er? Niezi, Niezi, do you know that we are struggling with material resources? They are all just like you, they don’t do production, but they only spend money, no matter how big the family business is, sooner or later it will be wiped out by your unworthy son!"

Jia Baoyu didn't dare to argue at all, but just stood upright, not daring to speak out.

At this time, Mrs. Wang had already arrived, and she was busy helping Baoyu with the conversation: "Baoyu and Huan'er each took a car. The old lady said that because Baoyu and the younger brother of Xiao Rong's daughter-in-law in the Dongfu had a good relationship, the two Let’s walk together, so that we can learn from each other on the way and benefit together.”

Jia Zheng wanted to say a few more words at first, but when he heard that it was Jia Mu's meaning, and people from the East Mansion were involved in it, it was not easy to pursue further. Instead, he asked Baoyu's long-term followers whether their car should be the same as that of Baoyu. Jia Huan's car set off at the same time to go back. Why Jia Huan's car didn't catch up, they didn't even realize it!

Only then did a long follower tell the truth: "Master Huan is riding in an ox cart, how can he keep up with our carriage? Just turn a corner and disappear."

Only then did Jia Zheng and Aunt Zhao realize that not only was Jia Huan not arranged to ride in the same car as Baoyu, but even the type of car was quite different!

Aunt Zhao immediately started crying again, and she said while she was crying, "Who arranged this? Whose son and brother go to school in a bullock cart? Isn't this intentional to make a poor ringer? Obviously it was not raised by the wife." , don’t you look at it as a human being?”

Mrs. Wang was extremely embarrassed and said, "Whose arrangement is this? I don't even know about it!"

Jia Zheng's face was ashen, and he drank Aunt Zhao and said, "don't disturb people by talking about it." Then he called the housekeeper Lin Zhixiao to order, "go and call Lian'er. I'd like to ask whose arrangement this is?"

After Jia Lian was called in and heard the whole story, he cursed inwardly, needless to say, this matter was definitely the work of his daughter-in-law Wang Xifeng who loves to show off her ability and ability, so she had to win it out in front of the master, laughing with her Said: "This is my negligence. I didn't know that Huan'er was separated from Baoyu and went to school by car. However, the vehicles in the mansion have suffered a lot this time, and there is no time to repair them, so I have to put them aside. Yes. Isn't it because there is no good carriage for the time being, so that you temporarily seized an ox cart for Huan'er to use?"

Jia Zheng waved his hands annoyedly, and said, "Let's not talk about this now, the most important thing is to find people. You immediately bring some family members, light a torch, and search along the road to Xueli."

While in chaos, someone came to report suddenly: "Master, don't worry, the porter in front came to report, Brother Huan has returned."

Mrs. Wang recited the Buddha's name, and said: "Amitabha! You can be counted back! Otherwise, we irrelevant people will suffer for no reason!"

Jia Zheng glanced at her, then turned to shout and curse: "Bring that damn bastard over here!"

After a while, Jia Huan was pushed over to face Jia Zheng with blazing eyes.

Jia Zheng slapped the table and scolded: "Niety! Don't you know how worried your mother is at home when you go to school outside? You can't go home after school, and you are wandering outside to play, but you are called Mother was terribly worried, she thought you were kidnapped by thieves, and her eyes were going to be swollen from crying!"

Jia Huan glanced at Aunt Zhao and said sincerely, "Mother, I'm sorry."

Jia Huan looked back at Jia Zheng again, and said calmly: "However, my son is not wandering outside for fun. You must make this clear to the master, and you must not let the master misunderstand your son's behavior."

Jia Zheng said angrily, "Then tell me. Your tone seems to make sense."

Jia Huan then explained that the ox cart he was riding in was so slow and tattered that people always mistook it for a trafficking cart when he was walking on the road, so he was always stopped by people.The people who blocked Jia Huan's ox cart several times were either young couples rushing to the hospital with feverish babies in their arms, or old men or women in their seventies who couldn't walk. Jia Huan let them all out of compassion. They got into the car, and it took them so kindly to their destination that the time to get home was delayed up to this point.

Jia Huan looked upright, smiled and said to Mrs. Wang: "My wife told me to copy Buddhist scriptures yesterday to accumulate kindness. She said that she wanted to do a good deed every day, and my son kept it in her heart. Today, my son seems to be returning to his heart." Arrow, I want to go home earlier and tell the master and wife what I learned in school. But seeing those old grandparents who are so old that they can't stand their legs, I can't help but want to help This is all carefully taught by the wife, how dare the son obey the yin and yin?"

Mrs. Wang grinned slightly, not knowing whether it was a smile of approval or a wry smile.

Jia Huan said to Jia Zheng again: "Furthermore, the master still said today, 'I am old and I am old, and I am young and I am young and I am young. After learning the Master's teachings, why don't you try your best to do good deeds every day? Master, don't you think so?"

Neither Jia Zheng nor Mrs. Wang had a word to say, and even the whole room stared at Jia Huan, who looked like a compassionate Bodhisattva, and no one spoke for a long time.

Jia Huan said again worriedly: "What can we do? If we keep sitting in this car in the future, we will encounter these things all the time. My son must not stand by and watch. Auntie is worried, if only there is a way to have both in this world, it will be worthy of my own conscience and not worry my family!"

As slow as Jia Zheng, he finally understood what Jia Huan meant, and sorted out his train of thought: Jia Huan was riding in a bullock cart, so he would be stopped by people repeatedly, so that Jia Huan, who had a pure heart, had to resign himself. Even if I delay going home, I have to do good deeds.However, if he was not riding in an ox cart, but a carriage like Baoyu's, the person who stopped the carriage would not stop his carriage at all, wouldn't this kind of thing not happen?After all, the root of the problem still lies in the ox cart!
