[Red House] The First Imperial Merchant

Chapter 19 Different Jia Huan

Xue Qing drove the carriage to the gate, the gatekeeper came up to meet him, took the initiative to lead the carriage and walked through the corner gate, Xue Qing followed Xue Pan and entered the mansion, just after entering the first courtyard gate, a guard came to meet him Xue Pan paid his respects and said, "Master, my wife has set up a meal in Zhenfuyuan. The grandmothers and girls in Jia's mansion and the second and third masters are all here. They said they are waiting for the uncle to come back to have dinner together."

Xue Pan frowned slightly. The Xue family and the Jia family were originally connected by the four major families, but since his father left and took off the name of the imperial merchant, the Jia family and the Xue family really only have the relationship of Mrs. Wang. Now that Mrs. Wang is being sent to recuperate, the relationship is really cold to the extreme. Even if there is a relationship, he, a foreigner, would still be happy to see Tanchun. It's really hard to meet a girl who can't reach her, let alone sit together for a meal. His mother probably wouldn't mention it like that, even if Baochai was mentioned, she should have stopped her.

The young servant had bright eyes, and he came to him and whispered: "Second Grandma Lian said that the whole family is fine, and the wife and daughter have nothing to do, but the girl said that there will be two tables, and the female relatives will sit inside the screen, so chatting and joking like this will not hinder you." thing---"

Xue Pan nodded, seeing that it was getting late, it was not good for a group of girls to wait for him alone, washed his face and changed into court clothes, and arrived at Zhenfuyuan.The cold dishes in the side hall were set up early. As soon as Xue Pan arrived at the door, the servant girl announced. Before he entered, he heard a hearty laugh, and said in a sharp voice: "I haven't seen it since Brother Pan won the first prize! Let me quickly take a look." The number one scholar of our Daqing Dynasty----"

While talking, Xue Pan bumped into a luxuriously dressed woman. If he didn’t do what he thought, it would be Wang Xifeng, wearing eight phoenix pearls and purple jade gold hairpins, and wearing a bun with clouds, and behind the bun was a large piece of golden tassel comb. , wearing a Ziyun dark gold embroidered open-skirt skirt, with a few purple cuckoo orchids embroidered straight up on the neckline and swayed straight to the skirt. This outfit seems to be worn by the whole family, but it matches Wang Xifeng's temperament And posture, it doesn't look weird at all.

"Hey!" Wang Xifeng yelled when she saw Xue Pan, with surprise in her eyes, "It really is a person who exists in heaven and earth. Looking at her temperament, my aunt is so lucky." Wang Xifeng used her natal family for this The relationship between Xue Wang's aunt is obviously close.

Xue Pan didn't need to caress his face, he just said: "Sister-in-law teased me, I got a lot of gadgets a few days ago, my sister and I are not of the right age, it's just right to give them to sister Qiao."

"The things given by Master Zhuangyuan are naturally rare, and if they are put on Sister Qiao's body, they will be as smart as Sister Baochai. I like them very much." Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows, and said simply: "I haven't seen Brother Pan for a long time. Let's sit outside and have a drink!" He took the initiative to sit at the outside table.

Seeing this, Xue Pan had no choice but to nod, and bowed towards the screen, "Hi, mother and sisters, it's all a family, don't hesitate to eat quickly."

The table was a round table with six chairs. At this moment, Jia Baoyu coquettishly asked Wang Xifeng to sit next to him. Jia Huan was next to Jia Baoyu. When Xue Pan saw it, he had to sit next to Jia Huan.There was Wang Xifeng on the table, and the meal was naturally lively. The cold dishes were removed, and Wang Xifeng moved the serving chopsticks to pick up the eight-treasure chicken. The eight-treasure chicken was picked from the tenderest chickens and marinated with various warming ingredients After a day, the things stuffed in my stomach were not only expensive, but delicate ones, all of which were in season. Wang Xifeng, who had sharp eyes, picked out the good ones with one chopstick and put them on the plate in front of Baoyu, and said with a smile: "Brother Bao, try it." !"

Baoyu took a bite and nodded, feeling that it was delicious and not greasy. Wang Xifeng saw it and took two more spoonfuls.The chicken was small in the first place, and the stuffing in its belly was only a few spoonfuls worth. Wang Xifeng went down with two spoonfuls and saw that half of the chicken's belly was missing. She smiled, raised her eyebrows, and said, "Hey! The cook at Brother Pan’s house is very skilled, it’s no joke to look at me like I’m a shabby householder, and I’m eager to go down two spoonfuls——”

"It's good for my sister-in-law to like to eat. I wish the younger sisters in this mansion stayed with me for a few more days. Now that my brother has serious business, it's just me and my mother in this mansion all day long. It's boring." , my sisters-in-law and sisters came to play with me, I am very happy." Xue Baochai smiled and gave Daiyu a spoon of eight treasures in the screen, "Sister, try it, I remember you don't like greasy food, although this dish is eight treasures chicken, But the stuff inside is all plain, not expensive, but I really like it, sister, try it?" Baochai saw that Daiyu was sullen since the meal, and coaxed: "My dear sister, since I'm here, I will stay longer. A few days ago, there is a courtyard in the mansion that I see is clean and elegant with my younger sister, how about a few younger sisters stay together!?"

Seeing Baochai coaxing her like this, Lin Daiyu dissipated her suffocation just now. Hearing Baochai's persuasion, she wanted to stay for a few more days, but she thought of something with rippling eyes and looked out of the screen. Outside the screen was the statue of Jia Baoyu. I sensed it, and hurriedly said: "If sister Lin stays, I won't go back. It's boring that the sisters in the house are not here alone."

"What kind of talk!" Wang Xifeng hinted: "The master hasn't left you yet, and you're obsessed with staying. There's no need to embarrass others."

Xue Pan didn't want to answer this question. Jia Baoyu couldn't read his eyes and understand his advances and retreats. If he asked politely to stay, this guy would definitely stay. He didn't want the naive Jia Baoyu to barge into his sister's boudoir all day long!Smiling, he moved the spoon, scooped up the eight treasures and put them on the plate in front of Jia Huan, "How are you doing these days? Can you go to school to study?"

When Xue Wang heard it on the screen, he said with a smile, "I'm bored here. I wish everyone could stay here, but what if Baoyu stays here in the school?"

Since Jia Huan was killed, Jia's mother avoided the school like a tiger snake, and let Baoyu rest at home for half a month. Later, Jia Zheng couldn't stand it and beat him to the school with a stick, and said that if he played truant in the future, he would be careful. stick!When Xue Wangshi mentioned it, let alone Wang Xifeng's opening, Jia Baoyu was anxious and whispered: "I'd better go back to the mansion," and then shouted towards the screen: "Sister Lin, you also come back to the mansion with me." okay?"

Lin Daiyu was quarreling with Baoyu two days ago, and she was so upset that she wanted to be alone. When she saw that Baoyu was going back, she said to Baochai, "I haven't seen my sister for a long time, but I still think about it. My sister wants to keep me, so I will stay longer." A few days."

Baoyu had a bitter face when he heard this, but there was nothing he could do.

Jia Huan was eating the Eight Treasures on the plate with his head down, but no one saw the mocking eyes flashing coldly.The banquet was quiet for a while, Jia Huan seemed to be making fun of someone, and deliberately said: "It's delicious, no wonder Lian's second sister-in-law, who is used to seeing good things, likes it so much."

Ever since Jia Huan was injured, Wang Xifeng always felt that Jia Huan was very evil and tried to avoid it as much as possible. He just smiled when he heard Jia Huan say this, "I would like to ask Brother Pan to borrow the cook for a few days."

If things go on like this, it will be difficult to digest this meal, not to mention eating it well. Xue Pan is too lazy to go around, and he can't wait to hide ten thoughts in one sentence. It's the same when the cook goes to Jia's church, I see Brother Huan's complexion is not good, so it's not suitable to use too much for dinner, it's not easy to digest."

"Thank you brother Xue for your concern. My health has improved a lot recently, but I shouldn't work too hard. Today Lian's second sister-in-law is coming with her sister and brother. In the past, sister Baochai treated me well in the yard and often brought me soup. I also miss my sister. He followed me with a cheeky face." Jia Huan put down his chopsticks, and without Xue Pan's reminder, his appetite has also diminished now, and he wiped his mouth, "I can't go to the school, I just stay in the yard by myself and look through the books. Just a few words!"

After the meal, Wang Xifeng took Sanchun Baoyu Jia Huan back to the mansion, Lin Daiyu stayed in Xue's mansion for a few days, Xue Pan sent a few people out, the servant at the door had already pulled the carriage, just arrived at the door, somehow, Jia Huan When she rushed to the corner with a pale face, she vomited. Wang Xifeng covered her nose and muttered 'what's the matter, I've ruined my stomach' and so on.Seeing this, Xue Pan stepped forward and took a look. Jia Huan vomited out all the food he had just eaten. At this moment, his face was pale and he looked like he was about to faint. Xue Qing said: "Help Brother Huan into the mansion." It's not good for Jia Huan to insist on sending him into the carriage like this. People come and go to watch on the street. It seems that Xue's mansion is not humane, so they had to say to Wang Xifeng "Sister-in-law, brother Huan, why don't you stay at my house to recuperate for a few days, and I'll send you back when you recover." I looked at Tanchun again, and from the beginning to the end, this girl ignored her and didn't open her eyes. voila.

Naturally, Wang Xifeng agreed that there were two carriages, one for the girls and one for Wang Xifeng Baoyu and Jia Huan. Jia Huan and Lin Daiyu were missing when they went back. Wang Xifeng and Baoyu boarded the first carriage, Xue Pan was worried and sent two guards to take him back, and then turned and entered the mansion.

After entering the backyard, Xue Baochai arranged for Lin Daiyu to go. Just as Xue Wang saw Xue Qing hugging the fainted Jia Huan and covered his heart in fright, he sent someone to invite a doctor. Now seeing his son, he said repeatedly: "Brother Huan The body is really broken, alas, it’s all my sister’s fault, Brother Huan is a child who thinks about good and evil, he is weak and can’t stand the toss, I asked Xue Qing to send it to your yard, you can save some at night .”

Xue Pan saw that Xue Wang was still nagging, so he coaxed him to take care of Jia Huan, and asked Xue Wang to go to rest quickly. Xue Wang entertained Wang Xifeng for a few days today, and he was tired from the meeting, so his son left the bag again. Tickets went back to the yard to rest.When Xue Pan arrived at his yard, the doctor had already arrived. Xue Qing put Jia Huan on his bed. Xue Pan didn't know what to say, so he had to stand by the bed with a sullen face and wait for the doctor's pulse diagnosis.

The person who invited was Dr. Wang, who was facing the street. He took the pulse and said that he had been injured before and hadn’t healed his body, and he was overworked during this period of time. After taking the prescription of food supplements, I took the money and went back.

Xue Pan stared at Jia Huan's small face, which seemed to be much smaller than when he first saw it, and his complexion was not good.

"Overwork?" As far as we know, Jia Huan doesn't go to school and spends the whole day recuperating in the small courtyard. How could he be overworked? "This Jia Huan is different from the one on TV---"
