Fate of the Red Chamber

The new year is coming, this can be regarded as the first year since time travel!In the past, the New Year was always spent by my mother in this world. Anyway, I have nothing to do here, so I feel very leisurely.

After some complicated procedures such as worshiping the stove, sweeping the dust and so on (see the original work for details, so I won’t go into details), I really got the New Year’s Day.

Waking up early in the morning is full of joy, and it looks really seductive.Even an outsider like Jia Huan felt the New Year atmosphere.Few people came to Jia Huan and Aunt Zhao's small courtyard that day, even her own sister Jia Tanchun was at Mrs. Wang's side.Although it was a little deserted, it was in line with Jia Huan's thoughts.It would be bad if there were too many people.

I took a few pieces of cardboard, learned how to make a few cards, and finally played with Aunt Zhao and Caiyun happily. "Brother Huan, Brother Huan!" In the room, I heard Jia Baoyu's voice from the servant Mingyan.

Jia Huan frowned slightly, Caiyun quickly stood up and said, "I'll go out and have a look, but you're not allowed to look at my cards! Otherwise, I won't obey you when I come back!"

Seeing Caiyun's pretty appearance, Jia Huan pursed her lips and smiled.

"Mingyan, what's the matter here?" Caiyun asked with a smile.

"It's New Year's Eve, of course Second Master Bao thought of Brother Huan, so he asked Brother Huan to go and play with him!" "I see, let's go in and say something!"

Jia Huan has been listening to the movement outside, and what Mingyan brings is naturally Baoyu's words.But how could Jia Baoyu let him go at this moment? Speaking of which, they have not been very friendly!It's just that they are in the same family and they are brothers. How could he be so kind to let him play with his sisters today.

When Caiyun came in, she happened to see Aunt Zhao secretly touching the cards she had put on the table, and laughed and scolded, "I just said that! My aunt made a foul!"

"Who made a foul! But you little hoof likes to chew your tongue!" Aunt Zhao argued with a little guilty conscience.

"What did Mingyan say?" Even though he knew what it was, Jia Huan still asked one more question.

"Second Master Bao invites you to come over!"

"Go and tell Mingyan that I'm not talented enough, so as not to disturb the interest of the sisters!" Jia Huan said sternly.

"But--"

"Okay! Just say so!"

Caiyun wanted to say a few words, but seeing Jia Huan's lack of interest, she had no choice but to shut up and go out to spread the word.

"Brother Huan said that he doesn't have any skills. He is afraid that he will make a fool of himself and make the sisters laugh at me! So I won't go!" Caiyun thought of saying something nicer, and asked Baoyu and the others to pay more attention to Brother Huan, but who knew what he meant? It was a good word, but for no reason, it made Ming Yan say a few more words and turned it into a bad word.

Baoyu and a group of sisters were playing around at the old ancestor's place, but when Xue Baochai thought of Jia Huan, he said a few words to Jia Baoyu, remembering that it was Chinese New Year, so he thought about letting this younger brother who he didn't like come over too. Let's play together and see the world.That's why he sent Mingyan to spread the word.

How did Jia Baoyu know that Mingyansu could not get used to this concubine Jia Huan, even though he was a young master, he was made fun of by their servants, sometimes even worse than them.In addition, his master is Jia Baoyu, who is the most favored young master in this mansion, so his temperament is naturally much higher than others.Going to invite Jia Huan today felt a little unwilling, thinking that he was just a concubine and could bother him to invite him.Suppressing anger to invite him, but invite him not to come, naturally his face will be ugly.In my heart, I thought that this was not only not giving face to myself, but also not giving face to Second Master Bao, and not giving face to my ancestors.

As soon as Mingyan entered the door, Xue Baochai saw it with sharp eyes, and hurriedly asked, "Did Brother Huan come with you?"

Mingyan was worried that no one would ask him a question and it would be difficult to answer him!It just so happened that Xue Baochai asked a question, and returned angrily, "His young master has a big temper! How can our slaves please!"

Jia Baoyu was taken aback for a moment, and then said angrily, "Slave? Master's temper? Which family's master is this, and which family's slave are you? You can't even invite someone. You are useless things. My master misunderstood you on weekdays." .”

"Oh! Master! When we go to invite people, we must be rewarded with this face!"

"Hmph!" Jia Baoyu's face was full of anger.It's nothing more than feeling that if Jia Huan doesn't come, he's giving himself another blow, making himself angry again, and not giving himself face.

The lively sisters also stopped talking, looking at the angry Baoyu and Mingyan kneeling on the ground.

The anomaly here naturally alarmed the ladies who were talking in the ancestor's room, and the ancestor hurried over to see what was going on.

"What's the matter? Didn't it go well just now? Why did it happen again at this time? Who made you, the devil king of the world, angry again?" The old ancestor asked with a smile, holding Baoyu's hand.

"Baoyu! Don't tell the ancestors about it, lest the ancestors worry about it!" Seeing that her son's expression was wrong, Mrs. Wang rushed out to seek justice for her son.

"It's my fault. I just saw the sisters having fun, and I thought of Brother Huan. I asked Mingyan to invite Brother Huan to come. Unexpectedly, Brother Huan was delayed by something, and Baoyu was angry! This It's my fault!" Xue Baochai hurriedly stood up and explained the matter, hoping not to complicate the matter because of her talkativeness.

"What's wrong with you! It's just that Brother Huan doesn't know what to do! Don't be angry, I'll have someone call him, okay?" The old ancestor comforted Jia Baoyu's heart, and let the mandarin duck beside him Go to Jia Huan.

Jia Huan, who was still having fun here, naturally didn't know that he just didn't want to go there today and provoked public anger, and he was shot while lying down.

When Yuanyang arrived at the side courtyard where Jia Huan lived, he called out, "Brother Huan, you are still playing! The ancestor asked you to go."

One sentence made the three people who were frolicking stop, and stared blankly at Yuanyang.

They naturally knew that their ancestor called people, especially Jia Huanding, and nothing good would happen.

"Yuanyang, why is this old ancestor called Brother Huan?" Caiyun wanted to make something up to prepare Jia Huan, but Yuanyang just shook his head and didn't say anything.

Jia Huan stood up and looked at Aunt Zhao, and said, "Mother, don't worry, today is Chinese New Year, so they will be all right? It's just a trip, and I'll be right back!"

"Then you come back earlier!" Aunt Zhao was a little worried, but her ancestors didn't go anywhere casually, so she could only watch Jia Huan leave with a worried face.

When Jia Huan entered the ancestor's room, everyone was playing around, but no one paid attention to Jia Huan.

This New Year's Eve let me come here just to see them having fun here, these people are really wicked.Just as he was distracted, he heard the rather angry voice of the ancestor above, "Now that you are too old, you can play the young master's temper, so you won't even invite us to come!"

It turned out that it was because of this, Jia Huan didn't speak but just glanced at Mingyan, Mingyan lowered her head guiltyly, then raised her head again and snorted coldly.

"Dare to be an ancestor, why did you let your grandson come here today!" Jia Huan asked neither humble nor overbearing. "What? I can't invite you if there's nothing to do."

"Grandson is at home with mother. Mingyan came to invite her, so grandson naturally shied away. Second, grandson is ignorant and unwilling to come here to make a fool of himself. It disturbs the interest of the sisters!" Jia Huan looked at Mingyan and said.

"Hmph! I'm disturbing the interest, I'm afraid you don't want to see people like us!" The ancestor said angrily.

"Ancestor, my grandson has something to say! If there is any impoliteness, I hope the ancestor will forgive me!" As he spoke, he looked at Mingyan, and his eyes were no longer as gentle as before, but stern.Just like a teacher staring at a student who has done something wrong and still refuses to admit it, he said, "Mingyan, can you repeat what I just said in the side courtyard for everyone!"

"Sister Caiyun said, Brother Huan has no skills, but he made a joke when he went, and disturbed the interest of the sisters, so he won't come!" Mingyan returned cautiously, thinking of Jia Huan's eyes just now, she still felt a little bit Rurui in her heart. , Somehow I always felt that Jia Huan just now seemed to be a different person.

"May I ask the old ancestor, which of the words my grandson just said was playing the young master's temper?" Jia Huan asked seriously.

From now on in this yard, Jia Huan warned himself not to cause trouble, after all, this is not that world.In addition, he might not stay here for a long time in the future, so he tolerated everything.Now even a servant is riding on his head. Although he is not willing to divide people into three, six or nine classes, some people are really born with slavishness, and they only think about tea.For those bullying the weak and fearing the hard, it is very easy to make a living by stepping on the low and climbing the high. If he is offended again today, should he, Jia Huan, endure it?

"Even so, he's just a slave. You shouldn't be like this. Could it be that you can't come here?" The ancestor knew that Mingyan must have instigated it, but how could the ancestor who had always defended Jia Baoyu think so? Talking to Jia Huan, who has always been disliked.

"Old ancestor, my grandson knows that you have always loved Baoyu, but my grandson has done nothing wrong. Why do you decide my grandson's temper with just a few words from this slave, and you must think that everything is my fault? Could it be that the grandson in this family is not even as good as a servant?" Since you have always believed this way, you might as well just say so today.It also prevents someone from talking about this matter in the future, thinking that he is trying to tease the young master's temper.

"Presumptuous! Who instigated you to say these words!" The ancestor's anger was thunderous, but it was a pity that the person standing in front of him was not the former Jia Huan, but the current Jia Huan.

"Without anyone instigating, don't grandsons see clearly now?" Jia Huan looked directly at the old ancestor without the slightest fear.

"Brother Huan, don't make trouble, go back!" Jia Tanchun came out and said, the scolding in his eyes made Jia Huan a little distressed.

You are really my good sister. You didn’t show up when I was misunderstood just now, and you didn’t show up when my ancestor was angry. Now that I have said what was in my heart, you came out when my ancestor hesitated. You are really good to me. elder sister?

"Old ancestor, it was the slave lard who was so confused that he said such a thing. Don't be angry, old ancestor! If you want to blame, blame the slave!" Seeing that something was wrong, Ming Yan quickly knelt on the ground and cried. Acknowledge your mistake.

"Old Ancestor, it's the Chinese New Year today! Don't worry about these trivial things. You have to watch the New Year's Eve tonight. If Brother Huan doesn't want to come, just let him go back. It's because he doesn't know how to flatter you, and it's not because you don't like it." Let him come!" Wang Xifeng stepped forward to smooth things over, while making Jia Huan leave with winks.

The scene just now made it clear to everyone that this young concubine who has always been submissive is not a soft persimmon.Wang Xifeng told Jia Huan to leave with winks, hoping that he would be able to use this concubine one day in the future!

Jia Huan bowed and said, "The grandson will not disturb the interest of the ancestor, the grandson will leave first!"

Until a long time after leaving, the room was still silent.It wasn't until Wang Xifeng made jokes that the atmosphere that had just frozen became much more lively.
