Battle of the Red Chamber Ring III

It is said that when Ada left Jia's mansion, Jia Huan got up alone, and because the driver could not be found for a while, he stayed in the yard and did not go out.

One day, when Aunt Zhao came back from Mrs. Wang, as soon as she entered the room, she cursed and vented her anger with a dry piece of porcelain. The ground was covered with debris, so she ordered the maid to get a spare one for her to smash.

Jia Huan was invited to the master bedroom by Xiao Que, saw the debris all over the floor, and unconsciously asked: "What is mother doing, venting her anger with these food utensils, if they are all thrown away, wouldn't there be no one to eat? He sat down on a clean chair, stretched out his hands to straighten the robe and smoothed out the wrinkles on the robe.

"You don't know how they abused our wives. They are just a little bastard from a small family, and they can be picked up by the car in the house with that phoenix egg. I asked my wife to give me a hand." You deserve someone, but now it's been half a month and no one has been seen." Aunt Zhao's temper is better than before, just because she feels that her son has hope for a future, and she usually bears it all the time, but now Mrs. Wang cut into her tenderness with a trick Everything made her panic.

"What's the matter? I didn't know what to learn when I went to home school. Now that the old man is getting older, he doesn't have the energy to teach. It's more quiet to read by himself in the mansion. If the mother feels bored and bears it, wait for the wife in a few days. When you are busy, you can find some free time.

"What are you busy with? Is there any news?" Aunt Zhao took a breath and finally put down the things in her hands. The maids who were serving at the same time stepped forward to clean up, and brought a pot of hot tea to the mother and poured it carefully. After getting on, he bowed and left.

Aunt Zhao poured herself a cup and took a sip, then carefully put down the teacup so that it would not make any noise: "Since my aunt's family came to the house, I have noticed that the wind direction is not right. There were a lot of people going back and forth at the west corner gate a while ago."

Jia Huan went back in his mind, and then he figured out why Jia's house was ransacked. It was really a bear that the gold that was picked out of Jinshang's mouth could be hidden under Jinshang's eyelids. guts.

On the seventh day of the lunar new year, Aunt Zhao hadn't finished her anger yet, so Mrs. Wang changed her trick again.She ordered someone to arrange a pen and ink in the study for Jia Huan to copy the scriptures there.

Jia Huan followed the boy to the study room, and the gatekeeper carefully opened the door. Inside were rows of bookshelves, so dense that it seemed impossible to count them.

"The entire side from the east side is full of scriptures. My wife told me that Master Huan's writing is good. Since I have free time in the mansion, why not copy more and send them to Qingxu Temple for dipping in a few days." The boy said. First led Jia Huan to the place near the window on the east side, and then pointed out to him that there is a whole row of scriptures, and they are all in different versions.

Jia Huan didn't speak, but picked up the beginning and thickest Diamond Sutra, opened a page and read it carefully.

"Don't worry, young master, the food has been prepared, and it will be delivered when the time comes. It's just that the wife said that since the scriptures are copied, it is inconvenient to eat meat, so all the dishes are brought are vegetarian. Please don't be angry, young master."

Jia Huan glanced at the other party and didn't speak. He just came to the desk by the window and looked out the window. Four or five daughter-in-laws looked at the yard, occasionally sitting together and chatting, and occasionally walking back and forth. inside.

Jia Huan sat on the bed, and the servant hurriedly brought clean water for him to wash his hands, and carefully dried it with a cloth towel. After drying, he lit incense on the side of the room. Jia Huan glanced at the busy servant, and just shook With a shake of his arm, he picked out a better piece of rice paper, spread the paper out, took the paperweight and pressed it to one side.The servant was also used to serving, so he helped Jia Huan sharpen the ink, moistened the brush and handed it over.

"Not busy." Jia Huan didn't look up, but just read the scriptures.The servant quietly put the brush on the pen holder, stepped out by himself, and closed the door carefully.

Jia Huan put down his book, got up and carefully pushed the chair away, turned around and looked at the study room, the study room was not small, with three floors back and forth, now he was in an inner room, facing the inner room was the qin with the incense burner In the living room, there is a qin covered with a red cloth on the desk, and further inside is the place where the books were just picked up, which can be counted clearly. There are eight bookshelves back and forth, and there are books of various editions.Facing the bookshelf, there is an arc-shaped turn-around, passing through the turn-around is another small room for resting, and passing through the hanging flower curtain is the desk where Jia Huan copied books just now.

"As expected, everything is exquisite and luxurious." Jia Huan stretched out his hand and lifted the red cloth, wiped a handful on the piano, and there was a series of long notes, even he, who is not proficient in these things, knows this The piano is good.He carefully covered it, sat back on the desk, picked up the scriptures, read them twice, read them silently in his heart, then threw them away, picked up a brush, and copied them seriously on the table.

Mrs. Wang was sitting in the room chatting with Aunt Xue, reminiscing about the past.Zhou Rui's family came in from the outside, and knelt down on the ground carefully: "My wife is well, my aunt is well."

Mrs. Wang slowly let go of Aunt Xue's hand, and took a sip from the teacup: "How do you say?"

"Don't worry, ma'am, I've ordered people to watch outside the doors. No matter what he's doing inside, he has to stay there. When the time comes, he'll send a bunch of vegetables in. I think that kid won't be able to come up with new tricks." " Zhou Rui's family said with a smile on his face, carefully said his arrangement, and then said with a smile on his face: "Now in this house, the old lady doesn't care about anything, and what happens to anyone is not a matter of your wife's words."

Mrs. Wang nodded and continued joking with Aunt Xue. Zhou Rui's family carefully exited the house, and when they went out, they saw Liu's daughter-in-law standing outside picking up the curtain.

"Why are you here as an errand? Didn't you say you were serving in the kitchen instead?" Zhou Rui's family lowered their voice, and while they adjusted the curtain, they saw Mrs. Wang inside concentrating on talking to Aunt Xue through the paper window. chat.

"Isn't there a lack of manpower in the wife's room a while ago, so I was transferred here, sister Zhou, what is the situation now." The Liu family looked around, and carefully stuffed a silver corner for Zhou Rui's family.

Zhou Rui's family smiled, and stuffed things into their cuffs indifferently: "It's not a big deal, but let the second grandma of the big house run the house, so that our wife can have a leisurely time, and don't bother unless it's important." Liu's listener Wan Wan nodded cautiously, then bowed respectfully and sent Zhou Rui's family away.

Jia Huan had been copying in the study for less than three days before he heard about Baoyu's fight at home, and Jia Zheng gave Jia Zheng a good beating. The old lady hired a husband in the mansion. The reason was naturally that there were too many naughty children in the family school. She was afraid of losing her mind. When she saw Qin Zhong, she said that her husband had passed away. It means that the new teacher arrives in the spring of next year, and then he will start school at home.

In the evening, after having dinner with Aunt Zhao, he went out of the courtyard alone in a dark blue coat. Since Lin Daiyu came, Jia Mu felt that the place was too narrow, so she moved the three girls Tanchun, Yingchun, and Xichun to Mrs. Wang's room. In the yard, it's just a stick of incense to Aunt Zhao's yard.

After walking a few steps, I saw the maid serving Tanchun, wearing a double-breasted embroidered skirt with pinched flowers. "The third young master is well."

Jia Huan nodded and ignored it, the maid rolled her eyes and was a little angry, but she held back: "Third young master, please stay, our lady has something for the servant to give you." After saying that, he didn't wait for Jia Huan refused and directly took out a sachet from his cuff and stuffed it into Jia Huan's arms.

Jia Huan took a step back, letting the opponent's hand drop.

"What is this for? A younger brother still despises sister's things. You know, if the young lady doesn't show filial piety in front of the wife, the young master might suffer a lot." The maids in Jia's mansion have always been raised like young ladies. They are very temperamental, and if it is not good to wait, they are a little unwilling to instigate the master to vent their anger on themselves.

"You don't need silver taels to go to school on weekdays. You can return it to her." Jia Huan was not annoyed, but put his hands into his sleeves and looked at the high wall beside him.

"How can we slaves become the master's house? Since the lady wants to give it to you, you can take it. If you don't want it, then give it to your restless aunt, and ask her not to delay the lady for the sake of money." hind legs." After saying that, he threw the silver on the ground, then turned and left.

Jia Huan watched the maid walk away, and only stretched out her foot and kicked it to the side of the lotus pond. The kit fell into the lotus pond and splashed a little water. After thinking about it, I turned around again.

The weather wasn't cold but he was wearing thick clothes after all. He took off his shoes, rolled up his trouser legs, and slowly waded into the pool. There were only some dirty-looking residues left in it. The thing that was down was nothing, but the things that should have been pulled out were left behind due to lack of manpower. Jia Huan tucked the hem of his clothes to his waist, rolled up his sleeves and slowly groped in the pond. , but he was young after all, and he actually covered his thighs while walking.

"What are you doing? Since you don't want it, you gave it up, and what are you doing in the pond again? I hate that our aunt is too lucky to have a son like you!" Tan Chun happened to come out of the room and heard what the maid said. Then he felt that his younger brother might not accept it, so he walked over, and saw Jia Huan kick the sachet into the middle of the pool. She was only one year older than Jia Huan, and tears came down, sobbing Twice, just as he was about to go back, he saw Jia Huan lifted his clothes and went down the pond.

Jia Huan straightened up, looked at the mud on his hands, washed them in the pool water, and walked to Tanchun by the pool: "Why did you come here?" Mrs. Wang can't know what there is in this yard. When the siblings met, the wooden Bodhisattva would change his way of tossing tomorrow.
