[Red House] The First Imperial Merchant

Chapter 95 Lions and Tigers Let's Sleep Together Today

Du Juan opened the door, saw that it was the third girl, hesitated for a while, and said, "Hello, third girl."

"Where's Brother Huan?" Tanchun laughed.She came here in person this time, and none of the big maids around her followed.After thinking for a while, Du Juan opened the door and said: "The third master is in the study, and the third girl is waiting in the living room first. I will invite the third master."

Tanchun carried the wooden box of pastries into the yard. Several pear trees were planted in the yard. There was still some residual snow on the bare branches. The yard was clean and there was no sound at all. There was not a single servant coming down. Which yard in the entire Jia Mansion was not A group of underlings?There is only this Lihuayuan, a servant girl, a servant boy and two rough envoys. If the head of the house wants to fill this yard with people, Jia Huan doesn't care about anyone's face. After that, no one was stuffed into this yard again.Not to mention, Mrs. Wang wanted to make things difficult for Jia Huan, saying that Jia Huan was already eighteen years old and was looking for a wife from a low-income family. Jia Huan heard this and used Zhao Hongyi's name to block her back. Jia Zheng was also on the spot. Hearing this, she quickly waved her hands, meaning that Mrs. Wang should stop messing with Jia Huan.How could everyone recall that Jia Huan dared to use Zhao Hongyi's guise to talk nonsense.

The rough woman served tea quietly and then left.The whole lobby was very quiet, except for the slight crackle of charcoal.Tanchun was engrossed in thinking, her younger brother is divorced, even if the cakes he made by himself will not restore the relationship between the two of them for a year, Aunt Zhao treats her indifferently now...

After waiting for a while, even though the charcoal fire was still burning in the living room, Jia Tanchun still felt cold, as if the chill was coming from his bones. He lowered his head and took a sip of tea. The tea was warm, and it became colder after drinking.His face was slightly pale, Jia Tanchun quietly looked at the curtain at the door, only heard slight footsteps, and then the curtain flashed, Jia Tanchun became nervous for some reason, and his eyes moved from the door to the teacup in his hand.

Jia Huan entered the living room and saw that Jia Tanchun was still there, his expression remained unchanged. He sat on the host and guest chair and said indifferently: "Dujuan serves hot tea." Then he glanced at Tanchun and said, "Third sister, there is something to do." ?”

Tanchun put down the teacup. She didn't expect Jia Huan to show no courtesy at all. She touched the wooden food box on the small table beside her, and smiled warmly on her slightly pale and uncomfortable face, "Since you came back our sister The two brothers didn't have a good chat, you love pear flower cakes, I harvested this pear flower last year, dried it and sealed it in a jar, I specially made it today and brought it here for you to taste."

Pear Blossom Cake?This is also Jia Baoyu's love. Back then, it was because Jia Baoyu liked it that he clamored to eat it, just to earn a living.Jia Tanchun is good at many things, such as making boots, sewing gowns, making pear blossom cakes, etc., but whatever Jia Baoyu loves, Jia Tanchun will learn and cater to it.In his previous life, he earned it just to let Jia Tanchun pay more attention to his younger brother, but in the end he would only humiliate himself.Pear Blossom Cake was something he had been thinking about before he was reborn, so after rebirth, he would naturally not argue over these trivial matters, and he hadn't eaten it for many years.If Jia Tanchun really wanted to please someone, at least he had done his homework first, or did he feel that he was still the seven or eight-year-old child who cared for Jia Baoyu's sister?

He smiled lightly, but did not answer, the scene was awkward for a while, Du Juan just came in to serve tea, Jia Tanchun's hand, which was so nervous that his bones turned white, loosened first.Du Juan went down after serving tea, and Jia Huan laughed at himself for being naive, why bother Jia Tanchun's face, since people don't recognize him as his younger brother, then Jia Tanchun and him are just strangers.

So he said with a polite smile: "I think of it. I used to see Baoyu's delicious food and thought it was delicious. I made a fuss and asked my aunt how many times I ordered it. Since the third sister has made it, let's try it."

Jia Tanchun heaved a sigh of relief, and hastily picked it up himself, brought out a white plate and brought it to Jia Huan, "Try it, I'm afraid you don't like it too sweet, so put less sugar."

Jia Huan pinched a piece, bit half of it, and put the rest on the plate. What melted in his mouth was the fragrance of pear blossoms and a touch of sweetness, which was really delicious.Jia Baoyu has always known how to enjoy, but he does not have that kind of life.After eating the pastries, Jia Tanchun was given face. In Jia Huan's eyes, there was no need to be courteous about the rest. He said what to say. He was most annoyed by people who went around in circles for a long time and couldn't answer the questions.

"I thanked the third sister for the pear blossom cake first, but when I was young I made a fuss about eating it, but now I taste it, it's okay. When I was a child, I just thought about it." Jia Huan smiled gently, and the next thing was very straightforward, "Third sister You don’t have to send these here in person, what can you do with me today?”

Jia Tanchun's face paled slightly, and then he smiled, she could tell that Jia Huan didn't care about making friends with her, so he would rather speak up directly than go around in circles.Then she smiled and said, "Actually, I'm here today to ask you something, my marriage---" After a pause, she was still shy when the girl said this, but in the whole mansion, if she didn't care about herself, no one would replace her Worried, he immediately said: "I want to enter the palace---"

Jia Huan interrupted impatiently before he finished speaking, "Enter the palace?" He first smiled sarcastically, "Is it based on father's fifth-rank official? Or is it based on the third sister's status as a concubine? The old lady entered the palace that day. Gong Huo put up a face to ask, and the first person to ask was you, but you know what the Holy Majesty said? Jia Tanchun's father is fifth-rank, and a concubine, her status is too low. She directly refused, why do you think the Holy Majesty would Look at my face and make an exception?"

Jia Tanchun was on the verge of falling, he gritted his teeth and said nothing.The heart is higher than the sky, and the ambition is great. This is the portrayal of Jia Tanchun. She has never been reconciled to living in a small world and finding a child from an ordinary family to marry.In the past, the Sanchun sisters were raised together, and the cost of eating and drinking was the same. Yingchun Xichun was not as good as her, but today I found out that Yingchun is the concubine daughter of a first-class general, and Mu Muxichun is the concubine daughter of the Hou family.

Jia Huan was still thinking about Aunt Zhao's love, so he just said it outright today. "If you want me to help you choose a marriage, I will try my best to help you find a good one for my aunt's sake, but I will leave my words here today, don't even think about the nobles, your status is too low, and you will be fine in the past." The fate of my concubine, I will help you find someone who is motivated, and you can’t go wrong with living with Meimei.” Seeing Jia Tanchun’s unwillingness flashed in his eyes, Jia Huan stopped talking, and said with a sneer: “If you think I want to harm You, then there is no problem in the draft in May Palace this year, as you are drafting, but if you choose this path yourself, don’t try to use my name in the future, I don’t care whether it’s life or death.”

Jia Tanchun was stung by Jia Huan's words, stood up abruptly, and said coldly: "Don't bother your third master, no matter what I do, I will be raised under the name of my wife, and if I make mistakes in the future, it will be my family's fault." How dare I use you for my brother's help!"

Still dreaming of a prostitute? !Jia Huan didn't bother to scold when he came back from being ridiculed, he was just a bastard, and couldn't afford this sister Gao Zhi'er.Immediately raised his voice and said: "Du Juan sent the third girl out of the yard."

Jia Tanchun left with a straight face.

That night, Jia Huan ran to Xue's mansion, deliberately learned today's words, and was wronged, so he just asked the master to touch him.Xue Pan originally wanted to avoid Jia Huan, but Jia Huan was getting more and more diligent, and now he still pretended to be sympathetic, but when he heard Jia Tanchun's last words mocking his apprentice, he couldn't help but soften his heart.

"She has a big heart, so let her try it!" Xue Pan looked warmly at Jia Huan who was pretending to be dead in front of him, and said with an angry smile: "I don't usually see your brother and sister affectionately, but now you feel uncomfortable after being ridiculed for a few words? Yi is not sure about love, the most cold-hearted and cold-hearted, looking at his face with a smile and making a fuss, in fact, it is very difficult for someone to enter his heart, Jia Tanchun takes himself too seriously, you say that The words are also for her own good, but everyone has their own destiny, and misfortune comes with blessing."

Jia Huan was lying on the corner of the table lazily unable to lift his energy, and his voice was soft, "Tanchun has never regarded me as a younger brother." Then he looked at Xue Pan with a pair of eyes, and said expectantly: "Master, I feel very uncomfortable today. Great, I will stay with you tonight, okay?"

Xue Pan's heart tightened, thinking of the desire that raised his head that night, just about to refuse, he heard Jia Huan say first: "I sleep in the side room, we can have a good chat at night, I don't know Xue Qing has cleaned it up. Yet?"

"It's still too late to clean up. It's still cold, so I'll light the charcoal fire in advance." Xue Pan heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile.

After ordering the servant to tidy up the side room, Jia Huan lay on the couch in Xue Pan's house. The master and apprentice chatted one after another, but they all did their own things. Xue Pan read a book, Jia Huan was painting, and the room Rian is quiet, sometimes a word or two will be heard, the voice is very peaceful, and the years are so quiet and beautiful.

"Master, where's Li Qi?" Jia Huan added softly in his pen, feeling dissatisfied.

Xue Pan turned a page of the book without raising his head, "This man is stubborn and wants to stay by my side, but he can't figure out where he is, so I told him not to worry, and now he lives here and thinks about it. Let's go, let's talk if you want to understand."

Jia Huan didn't stop writing, but murmured vaguely.Xue Pan put down the book in his hand and sighed: "This child is also pitiful. He saw his parents die tragically with his own eyes, and was tortured half to death by the enemy. When I rescued him, he was already half alive. After waking up, he followed me. Being a cow and a horse, killing the enemy on the battlefield even saved your life..."

Narrative, Jia Huan's ears are full of master talking about this brat named Li Qi, Jia Huan doesn't like the master's attention is all on Li Qi, he is also very pitiful, is it more miserable now? !Holding the paper he just painted, he jumped to the side of the master, smiled and asked for credit, and said: "Master, do you see how I draw?"

"This is me?" Xue Pan was a little surprised. The characters on this drawing paper are similar to Western painting methods, but the strokes are simple and outlined, somewhat like stick figures and Q-version characters.On the paper, he smiled softly, without any evil spirit, and looked a little cute. "When did you learn it? But your drawing is too cute when I look like this."

"Outsiders think that the master is too vicious and evil, but in my opinion, although the master is often stern and cold, he is very soft-hearted. The most important thing is to be kind to me." Jia Huan took the paper with a smile, and wrote down a few strokes. A villain appeared next to him, and it was him.

Xue Pan didn't know how to respond to Jia Huan's words. If he hadn't been drunk, Xue Pan could still tease him, but now he can't say anything.Looking at the dark sky outside, "It's getting late, you go to bed early, you have to go to the Yamen tomorrow."

Jia Huan packed his things in a hurry, and after a while he put on his shoes and Xue Pan said good night and went out, Xue Pan felt weird seeing Jia Huan so straightforward.

Xue Pan, who turned off the lights and took off his clothes to go to bed, had just finished performing the exercises when he heard the door being closed and then got out of bed naked. As soon as he opened the door, Jia Huan in unlined clothes stood outside. He knew this kid How could it be so refreshing to leave him to sleep? !

"Master, it's so cold to sleep alone!" Jia Huan said pitifully.

Xue Pan sternly said, "I can ask Yanzi to warm your bed----"

"I'm not used to outsiders sleeping in my bed. Master, I'm so cold. The charcoal in the room seems to have gone out. Am I going to freeze to death?" Just rightly, she sneezed a few times. Under the light, Jia Huan looked pale and his lips were blue, very pitiful.

Even though he knew that this kid was playing tricks, Xue Pan still softened his heart towards Jia Huan like this, opened the door, and sighed slightly, "Come in quickly, you won't be allowed next time."

Jia Huan made repeated promises, with a successful smile on his face, and ran to the bedside. He was cold and fast, except for his unlined robes, and rolled onto the side of the bed in obscene trousers and obscene clothes, "Master, it's so warm inside, you Come up quickly."

The nineteen-year-old youth occupied the inner side of the bed, and Xue Pan lay on the outer side, although he wanted to avoid it, but it was impossible.In particular, Jia Huan inside had rolled into Xue Pan's arms on his own initiative, with a pure face, "Master, go to sleep, it's really warm!"

Xue Pan found out that since Jia Huan HNA came back, his face has become much thicker, especially after confessing his love. What has this dead child experienced in the past four years!

Jia Huan moved his head to Xue Pan's shoulder socket, breathed lightly and fell on Xue Pan's chin, itching, this kind of itching seemed to be blown to the heart, and it couldn't be scratched, Xue Pan soon discovered that he hadn't vented for a long time His body was faintly showing signs, his heart tightened, and he withdrew back, but behind him was the bedside, and Jia Huan in his arms leaned closer, put his arm on Xue Pan's waist, and rubbed against him.

That night, Xue Pan struggled to sleep.

In the afternoon of the next day, Jia Huan came to the Wenhua Palace in response to the edict, squinted his eyes, and said: "Your tricks don't work!"

"Fart!" Zhao Hongyi swears, "Tell me how you got here first, it's definitely your problem."

Jia Huan was also thick-skinned, and the two murmured and murmured while holding their heads together. Zhao Hongyi rubbed his heart secretly, and after listening to the master's gossip, his heart was full of gossip, and he made up: "I guess the master should know your thoughts." , I agreed to sleep with you last night, what does that mean? It means that the master is interested in you, but not much, and you need to work hard. In fact, I want to say, what to do with so much effort, make something Aphrodisiac, just put yourself down and lie down on the master's bed, you have no other advantages, at least you can look at it with a skin, maybe it will be done, you also know that the master has a strong sense of responsibility, if you really take it, you will definitely I will be responsible for you..."

Zhao Hongyi also didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement.Fortunately, Jia Huan still had reason, and didn't follow Zhao Hongyi blindly, shaking his head and refusing: "Master, this person can pass through even small tricks and schemes without any harm. It all depends on our excitement. If you really follow your tricks, you will still be responsible , I am afraid that the master will break my leg, you are definitely watching the fun."

Rubbing his chin, Jia Huan felt that he should not listen to Zhao Hongyi's unreliable advice. Seeing this, Zhao Hongyi curled his lips, expressing that he would not listen to my high-minded, you regret it.After playing around, let's get down to business.

"The seeds of potatoes and corn have been cultivated. The whole country dare not say that the northern part is enough." Jia Huan thought for a while, and said euphemistically: "In all parts of the north, especially in Ludi, Qidi, Yandi, this winter, only sow A snowfall, I am afraid that there will be a severe drought in May, should I prepare sooner or later?"

"Do you want to use these three places as experimental fields?" Zhao Hongyi rubbed his chin, his face was no longer playful, and his eyes were slightly gloomy. Willing to take the risk of planting these unknown seeds, I can't forcefully make an order, my father can't make it through--"

Jia Huan knew that Zhao Hongyi wanted to divide the power of Emperor Pingkang, and knew that the arrangement was similar. Zhao Hongyi didn't ask him about this, and Jia Huan didn't intend to intervene in asking questions. Settle the bill, not to mention that one of the brothers is still the emperor.What Zhao Hongyi did was actually to maintain the brotherhood between the two of them.

"Then I'll prepare more in case of emergencies." Jia Huan planned to optimize the seeds, as the master said, more drought-resistant and more productive. "Don't worry too much. We've been floating on the sea for so long, and the weather will take a fancy to it. But the land is different from the sea after all. Maybe I'm worrying too much." After a pause, "Even if it is, this Potatoes are ripe every three months, and there are two kinds of corn a year, so we will get food soon.”

Zhao Hongyi nodded, "You should have more snacks first."

"By the way, Jia Tanchun should also participate in the May draft girls, so we can do whatever we want," Jia Huan said first.

Mentioning this, Zhao Hongyi felt a little embarrassed on his face. Jia Huan was amazed, and before he could inquire, he heard Zhao Hongyi say: "I suddenly feel a little tired of women." It has been four months since the wedding, and Zhao Hongyi has passed That period of curiosity and freshness has long since lost the original passion. I always feel that the women in the harem are reserved and delicate, and they are also polite in bed, which is very boring.

"Don't you like big white breasts? You don't like girls brought back from England?" Jia Huan despised Zhao Hongyi, a man with no integrity, and was very affectionate. "If women don't like it, try men, but you pay attention. point."

Zhao Hongyi waved his hand, he still knew the seriousness, "Father looks like he can't do it, how long have I dared to act recklessly after I'm married? Now is not the time for me, a little emperor, to act recklessly. The empress and four concubines in the harem, behind them all It's a very important force, it can't be messed up, at least it needs to be respected enough. And I haven't done it with a man yet, that place is dirty---" Seeing that Jia Huan looked at him not very well, he quickly changed his words: "You It's not dirty there, the master won't dislike you."

Jia Huan smiled respectfully and said: "I wish the emperor finds a dirty true love."

"It's really narrow-minded!" Zhao Hongyi muttered, "Master doesn't like narrow-minded people---"

"The minister resigns!" See you in debt!There is no more talk!
