[Red House] The First Imperial Merchant

Chapter 6 Aunt Zhao begs Xue Pan

Mrs. Wang pointed out Jinrong to Jia Huan to be a servant. With Mrs. Wang behind her and Jia Huan really didn’t look like a master in Jia’s mansion, over the past few years, he has often bullied Jia Huan. On the face of putting eye drops on Jia Huan, this time Jia Huan made him lose face in public. Jinrong has become so heartbroken by Jia Huan's obedience and obedience to his promises in the past few years. This time Jia Huan suddenly took the lead Jinrong was stunned and felt even more ashamed, thinking to himself that this wretched and cowardly Jia Huan dared not listen to him, and the first thing he did when he returned to Jia's mansion was to complain in front of Mrs. Wang.

This kind of thing is not unheard of. From the time when Jinrong first came to serve Jia Huan, he was cautious, and later he accidentally failed to serve Jia Huan. Mrs. Wang did not punish him, but gently asked him to pay attention next time. Slowly, Jinrong Figured out Mrs. Wang's thoughts, and then tricked Jia Huan's monthly money into cheating Jia Huan to play and not study. If Jia Huan didn't listen to him, then he would go to Mrs. Wang to complain, and the result would always be that Jia Huan was taught by words Jinrong saw him, and his attitude towards Jia Huan would no longer be that of a servant. This time, Jinrong thought well and felt that it was the same as before. Board up.

Brother Huan in Jia's mansion walked out in the morning in good health. At three o'clock in the morning, the school dismissed early, but Jia Huan didn't return, and Jinrong came back by himself. Mrs. Wang still had a bodhisattva face, muttering, "How long has it been? Why is Brother Huan still playing outside? What if something happens accidentally? According to me, reading is small, and the body is the most important thing." Yeah, I don’t know where I’m going now.”

Today, Jia Zheng left the yamen and returned to Jia's mansion. I don't know who said that he got interested for a while and wanted to test the homework of his two sons. Jia Baoyu went obediently. Huan Qiang, when Jia Baoyu and Jia Huan did not show up after Jia Zheng's exams, he sent a servant to ask Aunt Zhao, but he never came back after leaving school. Jia Zheng was so angry that he blew his beard and stared. Haven't returned yet?When Jinrong was invited to ask, Jinrong naturally looked pitiful, and Jia Huan in his mouth gave an order to let him come back because of his status as a young master. I said it again and again, but the restaurant Jinrong was talking about was not a small noodle restaurant but a restaurant of that kind. In short, Jia Zheng was so angry that his face was flushed and furious, Jia Baoyu's legs trembled in fright, and he wished he could get under Jia's mother's knees to ask for protection.

When Aunt Zhao learned that Jia Zheng had lost her temper, she was afraid and complained about Jia Huan. She babbled for a long time, fearing that something would happen to Jia Huan when she was out, and she complained that Jia Huan would go crazy if she didn't know when she came back early... ..

Jia Zheng was standing in the hall of his own courtyard, and Lai Da was holding a section of whip in his hand. The whip was vaguely covered with barbs. Anyway, this was definitely not the whip that Jia Baoyu enjoyed. I realized that even if someone mentioned that the whip was wrong, Jia Zheng would have the idea of ​​'I'm going to beat him to death today'.

Everything is ready to go, just waiting for Jia Huan, who has been playing wildly but has not returned. Aunt Zhao begged Tanchun for fear that her son would be beaten to death and disabled, but of course she returned without success.

"Master, Master, Brother Huan is back----" outside the door, the servant next to Jia Zheng ran and shouted.

When Jia Zheng heard this, he glared at the door, and Mrs. Wang next to her looked at the door with an anxious look on her face, and heard Jia Zheng roaring in his ear: "He dares to come back!"

The little servant lay on the ground, with a tear in his voice, tremblingly said: "Brother Huan, Brother Huan..."

"What about the rebel!?" Jia Zheng urged.

"Brother Huan met a thief, now he's covered in blood, and he's exhausted—" The servant lay on the ground crying bitterly, not daring to raise his head to see the expressions of everyone in the hall.Aunt Zhao, who was standing at the door, yelled loudly when she heard it, and scolded the boy on the ground for talking nonsense. When the boy heard it, he cried, "Brother Huan is covered in blood, and I don't know what happened. , it was an old man who sent Brother Huan back. He said he saw Brother Huan in a puddle in the field. ---"

Jia Zheng's head was still dizzy, and he couldn't figure out how Jia Huan became like this. Aunt Zhao couldn't help it, and howled, "How can my Huan'er go from the school to the western suburbs? Jin Rong---" Grabbing Jinrong who was standing on one side, Aunt Zhao went up and slapped her big ears twice, "You are Huan'er's servant, what do you think of Huan'er? What do you think of Huan'er leaving? Are you sure?" Come back first! If something happens to my ring, I, I--"

Jin Rong was so frightened that he was slapped several times in a daze. Jia Zheng couldn't stand it anymore and shouted, "Go and see what's wrong with Huan'er first! Lai Da hurried to invite the doctor, what are you doing in a daze?!"

All of a sudden, the house was in chaos. Mother Jia, who was only asking Jia Zheng to teach Jia Huan a lesson, also sent a mandarin duck to ask about the situation. , I was also worried, and more determined to be optimistic about Baoyu, and Baoyu went out alone.

When everyone saw Jia Huan lying on the bed, they were all shocked.Jia Huan's originally thin face was frighteningly pale at the moment, lying quietly on the bed like a lifeless dead person, not to mention the muddy mud mixed with blood, Aunt Zhao felt sour when she saw it, and she didn't care about it. She lamented how pitiful her son was, and went up to take the little maid's handkerchief, dipped it in hot water, and wiped it carefully for Jia Huan. When she unbuttoned her shirt and looked at the white underwear inside, it looked as if it had been stained with blood. Even Mrs. Wang next to her couldn't think of anything to say at the moment, and Jia Zheng had mixed feelings.

The doctor came in time, felt the pulse, his face was solemn at first, and said: "Young master, this is bleeding too much, can you survive----" wrote the prescription, "First boil the thousand-year-old ginseng soup and hang your life. The skin wounds all over the body were cut by knives—"

Before Jia Zheng could speak, Mrs. Wang spoke first, and said hesitantly: "There are hundred-year-old ginseng in the mansion, but the thousand-year-old ginseng" After thinking about it, "Mother has it, I--" I can delay it. Just delay, don't blame him for his short life, even if he eats the thousand-year-old ginseng that the ancestors were reluctant to part with, he won't get the favor of the ancestors.

Before Jia Zheng asked Mrs. Wang to ask for it, Yuanyang came to the door holding a wooden box and said, "Second Mrs. Madam, the old Madam heard that Brother Huan was seriously ill, and she said that she had a thousand-year-old ginseng here who specially asked me to take it." send over."

Aunt Zhao was really grateful when she heard it, put away the previous vulgarity, took the wooden box with both hands, and said to the mandarin duck with tears in her eyes: "Thanks a lot to the ancestor, Huan'er is well, and he must read the old man's name." Ancestor's saving grace."

When Yuanyang heard this, his eyes softened, and he said, "My auntie, make ginseng soup for Brother Huan first." Looking on the bed, Brother Huan looked like a dead person, and his heart softened immediately. One pass to learn from.

The old doctor stopped the big and small wounds on Jia Huan, shook his head and sighed: "Who can do such a cruel hand, this is fatal!"

After the ginseng soup was ready, Jia Huan was fed a few mouthfuls of ginseng soup first. Jia Huan, who had been unconscious, said in a daze, "My wife is going to kill me! My wife is going to kill me!" Everyone was surprised when they heard it, and Aunt Zhao's eyes were full of tears. With tears in her eyes, she immediately turned to look at Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang was startled, and hurriedly said, "Brother Huan is in a daze, and I can't figure it out. When Brother Huan wakes up, ask carefully." Then she glanced at Jia Zheng.

The old doctor was still in the room, so it was not easy for Jia Zheng to ask Mrs. Wang, as if he didn't hear Jia Huan's muttering.Seeing this, Aunt Zhao was drooping tired silently, wiping the sweat off her son's forehead, only to hear her son say again: "Jinrong wait for me, no, don't leave me..." Then she fell into a deep sleep.

Mrs. Wang pointed out Jinrong to Jia Huan. Now, hearing Jia Huan's words before and after, is there anything that everyone can't think of?Especially the secret affairs in this family's mansion. I have heard that the wife of the main house embezzled the bastard, but I never thought that the wife of the main house would be so ruthless and kill the bastard!

Jia Zheng's face was livid, and he sat on one side, not knowing what to think.After the medicine was ready, the drowsy Jia Huan couldn't drink it, so Aunt Zhao forced it into it. After waiting for a while, Jia Huan woke up. "My son has lost too much blood, and now he is out of danger, but it is best to stay in bed for the past two months. The soup that nourishes blood and nourishes Qi continues every day. This is the prescription prescribed by the old man. It is better to add medicinal materials. The old man will bid farewell today. Come back tomorrow and give Master Ling a pulse."

"Thank you, Dr. Li, today. Lai Da sent Dr. Li off." Jia Zheng said.

As soon as Dr. Li left, Jia Zheng walked up to Jia Huan's bed and asked, "Where did you eat lunch today?"

Jia Huan's eyes were blank, he thought for a few seconds, and said weakly: "Brother Xue is also in the noodle shop----" Then he saw Mrs. Wang beside him, fear flashed in his eyes, and his sharp voice was weak because of his frailty. It was too big, but everyone in the room heard it clearly, "Ma'am, don't let me be killed, I'm in so much pain!" He fell asleep again.

Aunt Zhao hugged her son's thin body, and cried angrily and aggrieved at this moment: "If you go, Huan'er, this mansion can't accommodate you, and Auntie will go with you too. What are you living for?"

Mrs. Wang would not be able to ask questions at this moment. Jia Huan looked like he was dying, and there were only such bloody words in his mouth, how could she ask?He could only swallow this unfounded disaster in his stomach first, thinking that when Jia Huan recovered, he would check it carefully, so that he could not ruin his reputation.

At this moment, Jia Zheng just looked at Mrs. Wang coldly with a livid face, staring at every move. He probably believed Jia Huan's words in his heart, but in the end he didn't blame Mrs. Wang, and still cared about the identities of the Wang family and Yuan Chun.

When Aunt Zhao saw Jia Zheng, she felt very cold towards Jia Zheng. She hugged Jia Huan and said bitterly: "The rotten-hearted picky guy just takes care of brother Huan like this. A bowl of noodles is like big fish and big meat. Today this They want to kill Brother Huan, we are wronged Brother Huan! My aunt believes in Brother Huan, so my aunt is going to ask Aunt Xue to let Uncle Xue testify for Brother Huan, but a bowl of noodles, this rotten heartless thing ...There is no way for us to survive!" Then he let go of Jia Huan and ran out crying, apparently heading towards the direction of Lixiangyuan, and everyone looked at each other for a moment, not knowing whether to stop or not.

"You poisonous woman!" Jia Zheng said angrily at the stunned Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang was wronged, she didn't know what was going on, but in Jia Zheng's eyes, this kind of grievance was just pretending to be guilty.
