[Red Chamber] Jia Huan's Army

Finally, the flustered day passed, and the next day, the peers in the mansion came to visit again.Jia Huan had never received this kind of treatment before. In just a few days, he felt as if he had passed away. After savoring it carefully, he felt a little sympathetic to Baoyu who was beaten back then. It is impossible to recover from his illness.

Fortunately, I was really unfamiliar with these sisters and sisters before, and they couldn't say a few words when they stayed here, so everyone left.Tanchun, Daiyu, and Jia Lan would stay longer, because Jia Huan was happy to take this opportunity to get closer to them because he hadn't returned home for almost half a year in the barracks.The fly in the ointment is that Baoyu will come here often, but the drunkard's intention is not to drink.

Speaking of which, apart from chatting with Jia Huan and Jia Lan, it was Jia Huan who taught Jia Lan's boxing more often.Because of the injury to his left arm, Jia Huan was watched by Aunt Zhao, and he would be nagged for a long time for any big move, and he could only be addicted to it through verbal guidance.Jia Lan was very happy with Jia Huan's advice.I have to say that although Jia Lan is not quick-witted, he wins in doing things well-regulated and persevering.For example, he still insists on practicing the kung fu that Feng Ting taught him before. That set of boxing techniques has long been memorized. ability to protect.And because of Jia Lan's persistence, his physique is still very good, and he must not be regarded as a frail scholar.Both Jia Lan himself and his mother, Li Wan, were very satisfied with this. A good body means that in the nine-day examination, he can persist for a while longer than ordinary scholars. This is an advantage.Moreover, Jia Zhu, who died young, had always been a knot in Li Wan's heart. Now that his son is in good health, Li Wan is more comforted.

Compared with Jia Lan, Jia Huan and Baoyu really don't talk about speculation.What do you say?Could it be that the daughter's rouge?What a joke.So although Baoyu came over with a cheeky face, the total number of words he really said to Jia Huan probably did not exceed ten sentences.Baoyu sometimes looks at his younger brother whom he has never looked at carefully, and feels a little indescribable, as if admiring but also regretful: Jia Huan wears dark clothes all the year round (before he had no status in the mansion, he could only pick up some The material with bad color, I got used to it later) made the complexion fairer, because of Aunt Zhao's care, she had to lean on the head of the bed lazily. I repeatedly praised "what a beautiful person like a crown jade", but when they were talking, Jia Huan's casual look, although not murderous, was enough to make Baoyu, who had never seen blood, tremble, and even had a kind of thought. The feeling of running away.It's not that Jia Huan was unaware of Baoyu's timidity, so he didn't point it out, and sometimes he would deliberately scare him, watching Baoyu retreat without a trace, secretly enjoying himself for a long time.Although naive, Jia Huan doesn't care, as long as he is happy.On the contrary, Aunt Zhao has a lot of opinions about Baoyu's frequent visits.

"If Baoyu bumps into something, maybe it's our mother and son's fault again. Can't you be careful?"

Jia Huan really couldn't do anything about his own mother. This little cleverness was always useless, so he had to explain: "Baoyu is not a child who can just walk, so it is so easy to get hurt, and every time he comes to my sister and Sister Lin is here, so there will be no problem."

Seeing Aunt Zhao's appearance, Jia Huan knew that Aunt Zhao didn't listen to what she said, but thinking about it, she was lucky to have suffered from Mrs. Wang, and Aunt Zhao is not a fool, so how could she be defenseless against Mrs. Wang's precious son again.It's a pity that both of their mothers are not very smart people, and their methods in this backyard are too simple and rude, and they don't take advantage of their status. The grounding of Aunt Zhao last time is a typical example.Fortunately, it was a coincidence that Mo Lian was there to help, otherwise I don't know what would happen.Jia Huan thought that he would not be in the mansion for a long time in the future, so it was one thing to ask Tanchun to take care of Aunt Zhao, and it was better for Aunt Zhao not to make trouble on her own.So I decided to take advantage of today's nobody to talk to my aunt well.

"Mother, I heard that the old lady banned your feet some time ago?"

Seeing her son talking about this matter directly, Aunt Zhao's pretty face flashed a trace of unnaturalness, and then it turned into resentment, "Hmph, just told the truth about Baoyu in front of the master, how dare this poisonous woman ..."

"Auntie, be careful!" Jia Huan couldn't help frowning when he heard the unseemly words. Maybe it was because Auntie Zhao was praised so highly by the servants around her recently that she forgot her place in the mansion. Don’t say such things in private.”

Aunt Zhao looked at the serious Jia Huan in a daze, as if she had just met her son, unable to react for a while.Jia Huan had never called herself "Auntie" when she was alone, and she presumably said it in such a tone when she was out of breath.

Jia Huan looked like Aunt Zhao who was frightened, and sighed helplessly. Although she was stupid and pissed off, no matter how many shortcomings she had, she was still her own mother, and she cared about her children. Huan had no choice but to watch Aunt Zhao end up being expelled from the house, where everyone could step on her feet.

"Mother, don't even think about it. Is it okay to say such a thing?" Although Jia Huan's expression eased, his tone was still serious, "If it is passed on, let alone grounded, it's okay to arrange the mistress like this. .”

Aunt Zhao was frightened like this, and thinking about her cursing angrily just now, her complexion was not good, and she didn't want to bow her head, so she just sat on the couch and didn't make a sound.

Seeing that Aunt Zhao seemed to have listened, Jia Huan said slowly: "The mansion has always stepped on the high and flattered the low, and you don't know, mother. I'm lucky to support you because of my son. If tomorrow I will do nothing and even I made a mistake, and I don’t know how it will make me worse. Think about what life our mother and I lived in the past? It’s not the same people who had to curry favor with them even when they were looking for a doctor. People like this What is there to believe in flattery? And it’s not like you don’t know the truth of ‘the higher you hold, the harder you fall’, the more the fire burns, the more you have to close the door and live a low-key life.”

In fact, Jia Huan's original character would never understand these principles, but he and Mo Lian have learned a lot these days, and this one is the most important. After all, Mo Lian is a model in this respect, but he doesn't know clearly Jia Huan also learned it subtly.

Aunt Zhao listened to her son's words, thinking about the faces of those villains before, she felt disgusted for a while, and she was quite convinced of her son's words.

"In the future, I will definitely not be in the mansion for a long time. My aunt should be more cautious in her actions. I told my aunt earlier that although my father's favor is also a guarantee, but my father's character will definitely not get involved in disputes in the backyard. I still have to firmly grasp the old lady. Thoughts. But what has my aunt done recently? This concubine is ahead of his aunt, especially the aunt is the most precious treasure of the old lady. It is not a glorious thing in the first place. They are all offended. If it wasn't for the chance to get the reward from the Holy One and the blue eyes of the fourth prince, my aunt would still be restrained, let alone the old lady can come here to express her opinion in person." Now Jia Huan no longer has any extravagant expectations for Jia's mansion. From the perspective of an outsider, the things in this mansion are also more thorough. Although he was a little uncomfortable when he mentioned Baoyu, it was not as uncomfortable as before.Jia Huan took a sip of tea and was satisfied with his aunt's pensive look, and his voice became softer, "My son is working hard outside, and he always hopes that mother and sister will live comfortably. I don't have to worry about my sister's place, but mother's here is really good." Uneasy. If you want to live a comfortable life, Auntie had better think about what to do to please the old lady. As for my father, I'm afraid that my promotion is complicated, so don't bring it up again , It’s not worth it to save money.”

Although Aunt Zhao is ignorant, she has spent most of her life in the backyard after all. After thinking about it carefully, she still knows the priorities, but she gave Jia Huan a weird look when Jia Zheng was mentioned.Jia Huan looked at Aunt Zhao's eyes and sneered in his heart. Sure enough, even a person like his own mother who didn't know right from wrong could tell that Jia Zheng, who had always been proud of himself, would not have the joy of being better than blue at all, and would even be slightly embarrassed. Only when you don't like your own son can you surpass yourself.Little did he know that Jia Zheng had always been pedantic and stubborn, so how could he be called capable.

Aunt Zhao nodded, patted Jia Huan's head in a rare way, and said softly: "Understood, it's hard for you child to want so much. Huan'er has really grown up."

Jia Huan always thought that he was an adult, so Aunt Zhao's tenderness made him mutter uncomfortably, "I'm not a child."

Aunt Zhao ignored Jia Huan's complaints, and began to worry about Jia Huan's health: "We can't resign as the captain, but Huaner, is there any way for you to transfer to a safer position? You don't know, seeing you The bloody holes on the arm almost scared the soul of the mother away. It is always so dangerous, how can the mother live a comfortable life? The master doesn't allow me to mention this matter, and I don't feel sorry for your son. "

Jia Huan secretly rolled his eyes.When Jia Zhu died, Jia Huan didn't remember much, so he didn't know what happened.Anyway, since he could remember, he had never seen Jia Zheng feel sorry for any of his sons, but most of them reprimanded him. He didn't see that precious bump.

"Mother, don't worry too much. I am in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing. I am the Royal Zhili Army. As long as there is no rebellion and imperial conquest, we will basically not be in danger. This time is purely accidental." Of course, if you want to get If military exploits achieve the purpose of dividing the family, I'm afraid they have to seek wealth and danger.A few days ago, when I met Master Feng Ting, Master also had the same idea. He only needs to practice for a while, and Master can find some old friends to put him into the army of King Nan'an. That is the real frontier army. Want to There are also far more opportunities to gain military merit.In order not to worry Aunt Zhao, Jia Huan decided not to tell her these things now.

In fact, Jia Huan himself was terrified of this injury. At the beginning, he kept thinking about what he would do if his bones were crushed and he became a useless person, or if he was killed altogether. Let myself and my aunt fall into a predicament that is difficult to get rid of, and living away from the house will only become a phantom in a dream, which is no longer possible.The more I think about it, the more I feel that I am too weak and too impulsive.The matter has come to this point, fortunately Mo Lian is not an ungrateful person, and even invited Jia Huan to stay in the mansion for a short time to show his honor.Jia Huan's reward far exceeded his expectations, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.However, this matter has strengthened Jia Huan's determination to become stronger, and he will only put in more intensive training after he recovers.

What Jia Huan didn't expect was that there would be so many troubles caused by his short stay in the palace this time, so much so that Jia Huan looked back after experiencing the experience, and suddenly found that the sky had changed.
