[Red House] The First Imperial Merchant

Jia Huan smiled maliciously, leaned in front of Zhao Hongyi, and said, "How is little brother?"

Zhao Hongyi blushed with anger and his neck was thick. Xue Pan had no intention of helping Zhao Hongyi while watching the play. According to past experience, the more he helped Zhao Hongyi at this time, the more petty Jia Huan became and the more 'bullyed' Zhao Hongyi was. .

"Okay, okay." Zhao Hongyi said angrily.He secretly encouraged himself in his heart, a man can bend and stretch, wouldn't it ruin his status as an adult to care about a skinny monkey.Immediately, he shook his robe, snorted softly, cupped his fists and said, "Please trouble little senior brother."

Jia Huan was so blocked that he could not speak, and hummed, "Come with me."

The two went into the room to change clothes, Xue Pan stayed outside to read the article Jia Huan had just written, and Xiao Ru came to pour tea.After a while, the two of them came out. Jia Huan's clothes were all light-colored, and the gown she found for Zhao Hongyi was aqua blue, which looked refreshing, and the strong man with thick eyebrows and big eyes set off his temperament, which was a bit delicate and cute. , showing the importance of clothing color.

Zhao Hongyi was pulling the corner of his gown. Although he was not favored, he was restrained by etiquette in the palace since he was a child. He has never worn such clothes with his arms exposed. Even the obscene clothes he wears at night have sleeves, so why would he wear them in broad daylight? into this.

"Master, it's so strange!" Zhao Hongyi walked to Xue Pan with his hands tied.

Xue Pan laughed and said, "You're not used to it. If men all over the street wear it in summer, you won't be surprised when you walk. Is it cool?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Hongyi squeezed a grape and threw it into his mouth, chewed it, immediately covered his cheeks, squeezed his eyebrows and eyes together, and said, "It's cool! It's so sour! It's almost sour my teeth."

"Your deciduous teeth can't stand the soreness. It's good to eat this. It's sweet and suitable for my junior." Jia Huan handed the plate of jujube silk cake to Zhao Hongyi, pinched a small grape and threw it into his mouth. He ate it very well. happy.

Zhao Hongyi was underestimated by Jia Huan, and according to his temperament, he must push back, but when he saw the plate of sour grapes, he made up his mind not to touch it again. Anyway, he has been a man once today, and he is not afraid to do it again.

"Brother Huan likes sour or not sweet, you can eat silk cake with candied dates." Xue Pan smoothed things over and said with a smile, "Brother Huan specially found these sour grapes for me. If you want sweet ones, I have them there."

Zhao Hongyi shook his head, picked up the teacup and took a sip. After the sour taste in his mouth faded, he said: "I won't eat." Then he sat on the stone bench, propped his head to Jia Huan's article, and said: "Little Senior Brother How is it written?"

Xue Pan patted Zhao Hongyi on the head, "Let's not mention how well the essay is done, the handwriting alone is better than your dog crawling, don't worry about practicing martial arts all day when you go back, practice calligraphy well."

Zhao Hongyi nodded with drooping face.

Jia Huan couldn't look down on Xue Pan's tender care for Zhao Hongyi, so he interjected, "Didn't you say you wanted to fight against me, are you still here?"

Zhao Hongyi naturally intended.The two fought in the yard, and Xue Pan sat under the tree and watched.I haven't seen him for a long time, but Zhao Hongyi's whip technique has improved a lot, coupled with his talent and strength, Jia Huan gradually struggled and fell into the disadvantaged.

Jia Huan would be defeated in less than a cup of tea. Seeing Zhao Hongyi's strength, Xue Pan was afraid that he would accidentally hurt Jia Huan, so he pinched a grape in his hand and threw it over, just in time to hit the whip in Zhao Hongyi's hand, otherwise the whip would have died. It landed on Jia Huan's shoulder.

"You two are senior brothers, let's go as far as we can." Xue Pan stopped and said, "Brother Huan, you are defeated, stop."

Jia Huan stopped angrily, he naturally had less time to practice calligraphy, reading books and martial arts all day long, it was really annoying to lose to Zhao Hongyi, and he didn't know whether he was angry that he was defeated by Zhao Hongyi or angry that he lost in front of Xue Pan.

Zhao Hongyi was naturally happy to win, and when he saw Jia Huan's stinky face, he wanted to taunt him, but was stopped by Xue Pan, and said: "Hongyi, your strong whipping technique seems to be refined, but it's just the appearance. Today I will teach you a set of internal skills. Mind method, meditating for an hour every night, combined with external whipping method, this set of whipping method is more than external." Zhao Hongyi was naturally happy, and had no time to taunt Jia Huan, Xue Pan was relieved when he saw this, these two brats Don't worry.

"Brother Huan, you are not in good health, this set of inner exercises will help you strengthen your body, don't delay." Xue Pan instructed.

When Jia Huan heard that he was there, his eyes became crescent moons and he nodded yes.

Xue Mansion, Xue Pan took two apprentices and began to teach exercises.In Jia's mansion, Mrs. Xue Wang took Baochai and Baoqin just after meeting Jia Mu, and was talking in Mrs. Wang's yard at the moment. Baochai took Baochai and Baoqin to play with Daiyu.

Mrs. Wang took Xue Wang's hand tightly, and said: "My good sister, we haven't had a chance to meet you before we have talked much when you came to Beijing. I was not in good health a while ago and went out to recuperate. I miss Pan'er Baochai!"

"How is my sister?" Wang Xue pretended not to know why Mrs. Wang moved out of Jia's mansion. Since Mrs. Wang said to recuperate from her illness, she should recuperate from her illness. It would be good for anyone.

"It's good, but it's also very worrying." Mrs. Wang rubbed her forehead, and seeing that Mrs. Xue didn't talk to her, she had to continue: "Yuanchun granted the congratulations to my mother's family, and the Holy One granted her the grace to come back to see us. , I took over the matter of building the garden as soon as I came back, worrying about such trivial matters all day long, alas..."

Mrs. Xue came here today to give money. Although she doesn't like her elder sister's murder of brother Huan and thinks the method is quite vicious, but after all, she is a sister who grew up together in her boudoir. Moreover, Yuan Chun is her niece, so she gave money to her. It is also necessary to build a garden, so don't be gossiped by outsiders.

He patted Mrs. Wang's hand. Before he came out, Xue Wang had discussed with Xue Pan and Xue Baochai how much money should be given.Xue Wang felt that if she was a sister, she should get at least 30 taels, and she didn't mean to give it or borrow it.Xue Baochai and Xue Pan felt that it was too much, and they said that the 10 taels would be loaned. Anyway, they didn't think Mrs. Wang would pay it back.

Mrs. Xue was thinking about how much she would give, so she heard Mrs. Wang say, "I haven't seen you for almost a year, and Baochai has become more and more graceful. Is it the fifteenth year?"

"It's only fifteen months away." Mrs. Xue couldn't figure out what her sister wanted to say, so she replied honestly.

Mrs. Wang smiled, "In another year, Jiji will be able to get engaged. I fell in love with Baochai the first time I saw her. If my future daughter-in-law has such a dignified appearance, I will be Amitabha."

No one is a fool, Mrs. Wang said so clearly, what else does Wang Xue not understand?This is not to tell Baochai to Baoyu.Xue Wang had also been tempted before, thinking that Baoyu was the second master of Jia's family after all, and their status was considered high, but now Xue Pan's future is bright, and he can be regarded as a good family, but Xue Wang has lost his mind now , her elder sister looks kind-hearted, but she is actually very powerful in her thoughts and tricks. Although the daughter is a real niece, it is not such a relationship after marriage.

Besides, Mrs. Xue Wang has met Baoyu, and she has a good appearance and temperament, but she doesn't like reading or self-motivation. She is more than two years older than Baochai, so life will be difficult in the future.

Thinking about a lot of things, but only for a moment, Xue Wang seemed to have not understood, and said with a smile: "Baoyu is still young, so I'm afraid I can't find her good-looking? I know my daughter well, and the rules are really good. The most naughty, Pan'er is just such a girl, she loves her so much, I'm not in a hurry if I want to stay with Baochai for two more years, after all, I can live a comfortable life for two years, and I want my children to be by my side."

Mrs. Wang twitched her face, squeezed a forced smile, and said: "This girl wants to find a husband's family. Yuan Chun has been in the palace for so many years. I haven't thought about it. I feel uncomfortable thinking about it all night long." I can't sleep, now that the child can come back to have a look, I hope in my heart, it is the garden---"

After talking for a long time, I went around to the garden again. How could Wang Xue not understand?But there was a fire in her heart for no reason. If her elder sister said it directly, she would not say anything, but first she talked about Baochai's marriage, as if she had gained great benefits from Baoyu and the Xue family. It made people uncomfortable for no reason.

"Yuanchun and I haven't seen each other for more than ten years. This time, when my mother comes back, I, as an aunt, have to do my part." Xue Wang took a sip of tea, smiled lightly, and said, "I have a son and a daughter now. , Pan'er can't earn much money as an official in the court, and Xue's family also won the name of the imperial merchant, and now they live on their own money, Baochai is still young, I can't afford much, sister, don't think of me The few servings are more or less the intention of my aunt."

"Chunhan." Xue Wang said. "Bring 10 taels of silver notes."

Chun Han handed over the bank note, Xue Wang put it on the table and pushed it over, saying: "Sister, don't be too little."

Mrs. Wang thinks it's too little. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how bad the Xue family is, it used to be an imperial merchant. In Mrs. Wang's expectation, it should be worth 50 taels. It took two strokes to receive it in the box, and then talked about some homework with Mrs. Xue.

In the afternoon, Mrs. Xue Wang wanted to leave, but Xue Baochai and Baoqin didn't want to go back. She wanted to stay with Lin Daiyu for a longer day. Mrs. Xue agreed, saying that she would take good care of Baoqin when she came to pick her up the day after tomorrow, so she went back home.

Back at Xue's mansion, Zhao Hongyi hadn't left yet. He had practiced internal strength all afternoon, and his head was sweating just by breathing. Finally, facing the afterglow, he understood the dantian breathing method and meditation.After taking a shower and changing their robes, the three of them ate early with Mrs. Xue, and Zhao Hongyi returned to the palace in a carriage as the sun was about to set.

That night, Jia Huan said after finishing the class: "Master, the eldest prince was already crowned prince long ago, but it has been postponed now---"

"Maybe it's not the delay, but someone else." Xue Pan interrupted: "There are too many variables, and the ending will also change. Don't be entangled with the previous life anymore."

Jia Huan pondered and didn't answer, and Xue Pan didn't mention it anymore.The eldest prince has not been crowned prince for a long time, I am afraid that some people can't wait.

The author has something to say: Good night everyone!
