With Xue Baochai stopping him, Imperial Physician Zhang was unable to see Xue Pan's injury in the end, and the incident with the inkstone was left alone.Jia Baoyu was scolded by Jia Zheng.How else could it be?After all, this is Jinling and Jia's Mansion, and Xue's family is still a guest after all.

It was the time when chrysanthemums and crabs were fat, and Ningguo Mansion, opposite Rong Mansion, had been busy for the past few days, and Jia Jing's birthday was coming.In the small east courtyard, Jia Huan put down his teacup after hearing Shun'an's report, "Jia Jing?" Wasn't it the one who became a Taoist monk and died after taking the elixir he made?Is it his birthday?Not long after Jia Jing's birthday, Qin Keqing must have died... The third master was lost in thought, and Shun'an had already begun to pull the storage bag tied around his waist. Everyone in the yard had one of these things. It was the third master back then. After the loyalty talisman was placed on the people in the courtyard, it was distributed collectively. (┗|`o′|┛哩~~You prodigal son!) "What are you looking for?" When Jia Huan came back to his senses, Shun'an was still picking and pulling. There were already a lot of things on the ground beside him. A good emerald wrench on the head of the water, a sterling silver nine-link ring, a pair of large antique vases... a pile of valuable things, and a plate of pastries, two roast chickens and a basket of fruit... "I want to find Is there anything I can give as a birthday gift to the old lady of the Ning Mansion next door." Shun'an replied naturally. "I'm a bastard. I haven't even received an invitation. What kind of birthday present?" The third master said that there was no need to waste money. "The gift is more expensive than cheap. The main reason is that the second master and his wife will say that you don't understand etiquette. In fact, it doesn't matter what they say, but I'm afraid that what they say will make my aunt unhappy." The third master's indulgence to Aunt Zhao Everyone saw it and understood a truth deeply: You can make the third master unhappy, but you must not make Aunt Zhao unhappy!The third master caressed the rim of the cup, Qin Keqing's death can be said to be an important turning point for the Jia family, because Yuan Chun became a concubine shortly after her death!The Jia family was at its peak because of the concubine concubine in Yuanchun, and the power Mrs. Wang can control has also risen to a higher level.In the past few years, although Mrs. Wang has been acting constantly, the presence of the third master has not really affected Aunt Zhao.The third master never put Mrs. Wang in his eyes, but he was afraid of wronging Aunt Zhao.It's not difficult to leave Jia's mansion, but he still needs an opportunity to take Aunt Zhao to leave in a dignified manner.Now this opportunity has not yet come, but it is time to show their cards, at least to make everyone in Jia's mansion have scruples about their mother and son.

"Since I want to give presents, how can I be so casual? I remember that I have a glazed golden tripod in my house? The tripod is the most important weapon of the country. Only by sending things like this can I show my respect for the elders!" The third master Speaking casually, the corners of Shun'an's mouth twitched uncontrollably: The glazed golden tripod is naturally precious, but what is the tripod?Ding, the big one is called Ding, and the small one is the incense burner. The glazed golden tripod in Sanye’s house is only the size of a sea bowl, which is just right for burning incense in the incense burner.There are only two kinds of incense that need to be worshiped, one is gods and Buddhas, and the other is... memorial tablets... and Jia Jing is obviously not gods and Buddhas... Sanye, such a black belly Are you really a man?But why do I find it interesting?Sure enough, he has been trained by his old mother to become crazy... Are you mentally ill? !

It was said that it was Jia Jing's birthday, Jia Zhen prepared the birthday gift early, and ordered Jia Rong to bring someone to deliver it to Jia Jing, and she was ready to receive guests in the mansion.Gradually, people came, first Jia Lian and Jia Qiang, and then Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Sister Feng and Baoyu. Jia Zhen and Youshi took them in.You Shi's mother had arrived first, everyone had seen each other, and gave up their seats to each other.Jia Zhen asked about Shi Taijun. Before Mrs. Wang could speak, Sister Feng said: "The old lady said she would come yesterday because she saw Brother Bao eating peaches at night, and she was greedy. She ate half of them. I got up twice during the day. I felt a little tired this morning, because I was told to go back to the uncle, so I definitely can’t come today, and I said that there are some good ones, and some bad ones.” Jia Zhen laughed. Said: "I said that the ancestors love to be lively. There must be some reasons for not coming today. That's it." (Excerpt from "Dream of Red Mansions", tt, it's really not that the author is being lazy!) Everyone talked about Brother Rong's daughter-in-law Qin , Listening to Qin Keqing is still not very good, Sister Feng's eyes are red.Just as they were talking, Jia Rong came in and saluted everyone, and after talking about Jia Zhen's gift to Jia Jing, she invited everyone to the theater.Sister Feng was worried about Qin Keqing, so she took Jia Baoyu to visit.But they said that when they arrived at Tianxiang Tower, they each ordered a few plays, and just sang a few lines on the stage, a servant came back to Jia Zhen: "Master Huan sent someone to give a birthday gift, and said that he would go back only to let you see it with your own eyes." , I’m waiting outside.” Jia Huan has pretended to be weak these past few years, and “succumbed” to minor illnesses from time to time, and hardly ever went out except to go to school, and if he hadn’t shown up every year for New Year’s sacrifices, everyone would have almost forgotten that there was such a person.Since Jia Huan's health was broken, Mrs. Wang's eyes were mostly on Aunt Zhao, and she didn't care about Jia Huan, who had almost no sense of existence. Now I heard that he sent someone to send a birthday gift, so I can't help being surprised.Everyone couldn't help wondering, Jia Huan, who usually lives in seclusion, would take the initiative to give birthday gifts to people?Haven't seen him like this in previous years?Jia Zhen was also puzzled, so she asked for the gift giver to be called.After a while, I saw the young servant bringing in a man holding a brocade box.Shun'an bowed to everyone, and said to Jia Zhen with a smile, "The third master knew that today is Mrs. Jing's birthday, so he should have come by himself, but he was not feeling well before leaving the house, so he had to send a birthday present. "He sent the brocade box in his hand to Jia Zhen, "This birthday gift was carefully selected by the third master, (very carefully...) He said that he must let Uncle Zhen see it before he is allowed to go back." Jia Although Zhen felt that Jia Huan, a concubine, couldn't afford to give away any good things, she didn't want to show it in front of everyone, and she didn't take it from her hand, she just opened the brocade box casually, but she was surprised when she saw it.On the black velvet cloth background, the five-color glazed tripod, which is as big as a sea bowl, is shining brightly against the light, and the entire tripod body is shining with golden light, which is obviously fused with gold powder!Colored glaze is a very rare thing in this dynasty, only the royal family or very powerful aristocrats can have it, and it is not particularly delicate.This kind of glazed cauldron is probably only found in the palace, right?The shining glazed golden tripod surprised everyone, who is Jia Huan?The concubine of the second master of the Rongguo Mansion, weak and incompetent, how could he afford such an expensive gift? "This gift is so precious, I just wonder how Brother Huan got such a good thing?" Shun'an knew that Jia Zhen would ask this question, and also knew that he was asking for everyone here, so he naturally wanted to ask everyone Answer, of course, the focus is to answer Mrs. Wang. "Actually, the third master has been depressed since he was in poor health. In the past two years, he thought of doing business for some reason, and was afraid that our master would find out that he didn't want to make progress, so he kept it from the master and his wife and begged my aunt to help him. Yinzi, I opened a few shops in partnership with others, but I didn’t expect that the business of this shop has become better and better in the past two years.” Shun’an couldn’t see anything but a smile on his face, and he cast a glance at Mrs. Wang who had a dark face, and went on Said: "Actually, the lords and wives of these shops should also have heard of them, namely Shuxiangfang, which sells literati's things, Jinyulou, which sells jewelry, Baohuazhai, which deals in antiques, and Liufang Pavilion, which sells rouge and gouache. There are several other shops, I won’t mention the small ones one by one.”

Every time Shun An said something, everyone was surprised.The Daqing Dynasty banned officials from engaging in business, and the officials’ family members didn’t care about it. It’s just that... the largest pen, ink and bookstore in Daqing, all literati are proud of being able to use the pens, inks, papers and inkstones of Shuxiangzhai, nothing else. Shuxiangzhai is not only hard-to-find, but also sells things not only for money, but for literary talent.If you have a good literary talent, you can give away valuable things for free, but if you are not good at writing, it is hard to find cheap things; Jinyulou, which sells jewelry, can be said to be the vane that leads the fashion of Daqing. The things are exquisite and the prices are fair. , will be greatly sought after; Baohuazhai has only one shop in Daqing, and there is no semicolon, but there is a characteristic of doing business: only genuine goods are sold!Therefore, it has become the first choice for the major families to choose gifts; as for Liufang Pavilion, just say a little bit. Even the most profitable shops in Daqing were opened by their Jia family. Everyone was surprised, some couldn't believe it, and some didn't realize it yet.But the glittering glazed golden tripod was placed in front of them, and they couldn't help but believe it.Mrs. Wang didn't show it on the face, but the stormy sea had already turned up in her heart.When did that sick bastard become so capable? !Recalling the memories of Jia Huan over the past few years, Mrs. Wang was horrified to find that she didn't even remember what Jia Huan looked like!Why on earth did she completely ignore the concubine she had been suppressing so thoroughly? !

Jia Huan's change was too fast and too big, which caught everyone by surprise.At this time, Jia Zhen put away the previous contempt, took the gift from Shun'an with great care, and her attitude towards Shun'an became much better, "Brother Huan has a heart, you go back and greet him for me. ....." Still in shock, Jia Zhen really didn't know what to say, so she had to say a few polite words, and got Shun'an sent out.Yiyi Yaya sang wonderfully on the stage, but everyone didn't have much interest in listening to it.After the play was over, all the peaceful and restless people still went to the banquet, talking and laughing. After a day of quarreling, they went back to the yard, and the first sentence to the servants was only one word; "Check!"

Check, what can you find out?Those shops are indeed the property of the third master, but they are not opened by the third master. As for the partners, the third master said: the third master, I am so crazy (absolutely) handsome (worldly) cool (small) domineering (accepted) dragged (like), what? What kind of partner is worthy of it? ! (The author said: tt, son, mom really can't see it!) The Jianghu forces under the hands of the third master have developed rapidly. Among the big family and all walks of life, the biggest pharmacy, the biggest information sales organization, the biggest restaurant... the third master himself doesn't remember how many he has the biggest, he only knows that he stomped his feet, the whole Daqing and even the surrounding area The country will be shaken.If they want to investigate, the third master will let them investigate!It's just that the third master has the final say on what is found.So, after a few days, all the courts found were just a few more shops than what Shun'an said that day.Those who investigate are all acting in secret, and if there are too many people to investigate, it is inevitable that there will be some disturbances, so Jia Huan left school one day, and before he entered the mansion, he was stopped by Yunque, the second-class maid beside Shi Taijun: Mrs. The wife asked the third master to go over and talk.
