Battle of the Red Chamber Ring III

The road down the mountain was easier than going up the mountain. Qiushou was driving a carriage, drinking carefully, while looking at both sides of the road.As the setting sun shines, the shadows of overlapping branches are combined into a masterpiece.Meihua Mountain was originally a corner of the mountains, but now it is covered with golden light, so beautiful that it seems to be out of this world.

Halfway up the mountain, I saw a carriage parked on the side of the road. The covered curtain was embroidered with exquisite runes, occasionally bats, Wanfu and other patterns, and a shiny bead curtain hung down.Standing beside the car was a middle-aged man dressed like a servant, and beside him stood a maid with buns and a familiar green jacket.

Chun Geng sat next to Qiushou, glanced at it, and was about to greet Qiushou as if he couldn't see it, but Jia Huan just heard the movement and picked up the curtain. As soon as he showed his face, the maid standing by the road let out an ah, Qiu turned her head and looked subconsciously The ground pulled the reins, and the carriage stopped halfway.

The scene was silent for a while, and a woman's voice came from the carriage, like a yellow warbler coming out of the valley: "Yan'er, what's the matter?"

"Miss, I met the young master I met on the mountain." The servant girl spoke loudly, even Jia Huan heard it. Although it was only four or five steps away, Xia Yun, who didn't know the truth, looked over.

Hearing a sound in the carriage, the maid stepped forward and lifted the curtain, and stretched out a thin hand that was as white and tender as jade. Chun Geng looked at it for a while, and found that it was carefully selected. If it was a different master, even if there was no movement on the face, the heart would probably be itchy like a child's paws being scratched.

Qiushou drove the carriage to the side of the carriage. Jia Huan glanced at the carriage and asked, "But do you need my help?" The two carriages were parked side by side.

I saw the woman covering her face with a fan, only revealing a pair of upturned peach eyes, with a hint of seduction: "Please trouble me." The maid and the groom pointed to the axle of the carriage.

"I was not careful when I came here, but I didn't expect it to sink. Fortunately, I met young master and asked young master for help." Yan'er talked smartly, pointing to the axle while talking, it was not a big deal, but because the road was wet and slippery Stuck in the pit, Chun Geng and others pushed two behind, and the carriage came out. The driver just drove the carriage without making a sound, and the maid also climbed into the carriage, thanked them and left early.

Chun Geng touched his chin, watched the other party leave, turned back to Jia Huan and said: "It took so much effort to find such a stunning beauty, and let you encounter this snow scene like this, but I don't know if it is mine or not." Illusion, why is that girl not as good-looking as you?" Chun Geng tried his best to look puzzled, but the corners of his mouth slightly turned up showed his gloating.

There is nothing more speechless than finding a girl to seduce someone, but she is not as good-looking as the other person. Qiushou suddenly realized: "I said why this girl keeps covering her face. It turns out that she is not good looking. What a pity."

'If you let the other party know, you will probably hang yourself with a piece of noodles. Anyway, this kind of people rely on their appearance for a living. Jia Huan noticed a few white dots floating down in the sky: "Go back quickly, mother is probably waiting." After finishing speaking, the carriage moved and carried the five people back to the city.Jia Huan was not in a hurry to know the origin of the other party, but sat in the carriage and thought about several possibilities. The biggest possibility was that Mrs. Wang made a move again, but this was not similar to her usual style. Forget it, waiting for the other party will always For those who reveal the truth, there is no major issue other than life and death, and there is no need to think about it.

Because of the winter, Aunt Zhao collected her belongings to support Jia Huan, and said that she would go to the school to see her husband after the fifteenth day.In Mu Kun's letter, he mentioned the injustice in the capital, and said that the Ningguo Mansion seemed to be looking for death, and a sheet of letter paper was full of vague words.In the end, he said that he would not come back. Anyway, Jia Huan was going to enter the school, and "the son made proper arrangements" for everything, so he didn't care about others.

"I looked at the eggplant-colored duoluo woolen fox fur jacket on that baby egg, and it was covered with a small sea dragon skin gown with eagle arms, and it was tied around the waist. If such a suit was worn on my Huaner, maybe How pretty, but it's a pity that he only wears cotton-padded clothes and brocade clothes every day, and most of them are covered with sable furs, and those bits and pieces don't fit on his body, and it's a waste of my best looks." Aunt Zhao stood Among the dozen or so camphorwood boxes, he took out all the winter clothes inside, pointing at the three innermost mahogany boxes with his hips akimbo.Behind her were the three sewing maids who had just been sent from the capital, and Chun Geng stood aside holding the key.

Waiting for Aunt Zhao to leave Jia Huan's yard with people, Chun Geng turned around and went back to the back room, where Jia Huan held a book and ate persimmon cakes on a soft pillow, the white sweet frost stained his lips, Occasionally sticking out the tip of my tongue to lick it wet, I reached out and took another piece.

"If you eat again, you won't have to eat for a while, young master, you'd better save it for tomorrow." Because the Chinese New Year is approaching, the house is quite lively. .I bought some chicken, duck and fish to make up for it, and temporarily hired a cook to help make a big dish.

"Isn't it listening to the excitement today? Why are you back when you're free?" Jia Huan reluctantly put the persimmon cake in his hand back on the fruit plate, threw the book in and got up, crossed his legs, and looked at Chun Geng, " If you are not busy, you can stay with me, now Xia Yun and the others have gone out, and there is no one to talk to, which can suffocate me."

"Since the young master is free, let's go to study. It's the work of servants around me. If you wait for the start of school and you are not welcomed by your husband, don't come back crying." Chun Geng put the key in the secret compartment of the bed, At the same time, he tidied up the bedding, because Jia Huan didn't like others to serve him, so the only ones in the house who could do anything except Jia Huan were Chun Geng and others, among whom Chun Geng despised uncleanness the most, and now he was cleaning the house .But this statement is not false.

Jia Huan also felt that he really couldn't find other fun, so he got up and washed his hands, and walked to the study with only his shoes on.Unlike in Jia's mansion where there are people watching everything, looking at the wrong place, now in Jinling, Aunt Zhao has tidied up the best house and made it a study for Jia Huan. There is a yellow and green parrot hanging on top of which is the green bamboo pavilion written by Mu Kun. After entering the door, there is a large marble desk on the right hand side. In front of the desk is a pink gauze pasted by the window. A flower pouch inlaid with emerald green, with three or four unbloomed plum blossoms in it.There are also some celebrity inscriptions on both sides, all of which Mu Kun collected from somewhere.

It's just that before he sat down here, the servant outside led someone in. Dong Zang, who was on duty, seemed to ask the other party a few times, and then brought him in. He seemed to have seen the person before, but Jia Huan couldn't think of it. stand up.

"The last time I was in Meihua Mountain, I was fortunate to have the help of the young master. Today, my master ordered the young one to set up wine and vegetables in Yuanxiang Garden, and invite the young master to come and appreciate the honor." The man knelt down in front of Jia Huan, Handing out a bright red invitation card with both hands, Chun Geng stepped forward to take the invitation card and gave it to Jia Huan. Jia Huan turned it over and put it on the desk, then remembered that this person should be the groom who drove the car back then, but He didn't speak that day, but now he looks more and more familiar.

"You went back to your master. Just say that I am busy with chores and don't have time, so go back." Jia Huan felt bored, and jumped into it knowing that there was a problem. He was a smart person with solid eyes like him. I'm so stupid, I just pushed four, five and six.The person who came didn't seem to expect that Jia Huan would refuse, but the words lingered on his lips before swallowing them, got up and left.

Qiushou took people out and delivered it to the door. Chun Geng reached out and took the post and took a look at it: "The nameless person is still in the largest restaurant in Jinling. The young master will not show face this time. I am afraid there will be some in the future." A little trouble."

Jia Huan shrugged indifferently: "I originally came here to study, but now I have not achieved fame, and I have a relationship with some kind of relationship. Now people who look for me are looking for my father's face. If it is not my father, then It's because someone else found out about my relationship with Chi Chen. This person must not be far from the emperor. Since I am a close minister of the emperor, I don't have that much ability to figure him out. Why don't I just keep quiet like this? They were all pushed away, and now I am that ant, who can be crushed to death with a single finger, if my wife is not trapped in the inner house, how can I survive."

Chun Geng nodded: "After a while, I sent someone to ask the prince if there was any news missing. Now that we have arrived in Jinling, the news is not as smooth as before, and Mr. Mu is not here, so there is no one to ask. "After all, they are all a group of teenagers, no matter how smart they are, there is a limit.

Jia Huan took out a brush indifferently, dipped it in ink, and drew two strokes: "You go, I'm going to paint, if I don't get any benefit from waiting for the master to come back, I will be beaten by him." Since arriving in Jinling, Mu Kun's attitude towards Jia Huan changed. Originally, it was only sarcasm, but now he has all [-] martial arts.Jia Huan bowed his head and worked hard, Chun Geng stood for a while, then pushed the door lightly and went out. When he got outside, Qiu Harvest had already returned.

"What did that man come for? Why did he leave before he could say anything?" Qiushou looked at Chun Geng and asked.

Chun Geng frowned and thought for a while: "Did you tell someone to follow and see where the other party is coming back?" He looked at Qiushou, only to see Qiushou nodded, "That's good, I went to find Xia Yun and let him Contact Shizi to see if the news has been leaked, and you know the friendship between Shizi and the young master." He said and walked to the backyard, Xia Yun was not on duty today, so he stayed in his room and teased him. A few precious pigeons saw Chun Geng coming in and said, "Why are you here? Aren't you serving in front of the young master today?"

Chun Geng didn't return, just sat next to Xia Yun, picked up the teapot and poured himself a glass of water, drank it all in one gulp and asked, "Recently, what are your orders?"

"There hasn't been much movement in recent days, but Concubine Zhen seems to be particularly enthusiastic towards the son recently. Because the Supreme Emperor has been in poor health for several days, Concubine Zhen has been accompanied by Concubine Zhen, but what is the Zhen family doing?" Jinling originally said It is the headquarters of the Zhen family, so it is not surprising if there is any action.

Chun Geng glanced at the ground, then raised his eyes and lifted Xia Yun: "Go and send a message to ask the prince to increase his manpower. Maybe this is just my unfounded worry, but I'm afraid we won't be able to serve you when the young master goes to the academy. It's better to add more people and take some precautions as soon as possible." No one knows whether that Mrs. Wang who is far away in the capital will borrow the Zhen family's knife and kill their young master.
