The Red Mansions

Chapter 6 Addiction
Jia Yun stayed up almost all night last night, probably because of her practice, she didn't feel tired.

After putting the food and vegetables back into the house, Jia Yun came over to help Mrs. Bu twist the quilt, and told her her future plans.

Hearing that Jia Yun said that he would study and practice martial arts in the future, Mrs. Bu said seriously: "It's good if you want to study and practice martial arts, but can our family afford it?"

"Not to mention anything else, just the pen, ink, paper and inkstone used for reading is not a simple expense, not to mention the annual Shu Xiu, which is also a lot of money, right?"

"Also, I heard that practicing martial arts also requires the purchase of a lot of herbal medicines to strengthen the body, which costs more money than studying. Youdao is rich in literature and martial arts. It's not a joke."

"Brother Yun, you have the right idea. If you want to study and practice martial arts as your mother, you have no objection, but you must do what you can. Don't just think about it on a whim, and you will waste your youth for nothing."

Jia Yun smiled and replied, "Mother, just put your mind at ease. I want to study and practice martial arts. I don't want to learn it right away in a day or two, but I will do it after our family has savings."

"Mother, you don't want your son to set up a stall on the street all his life, do you? If your son doesn't work hard while he is young, he will really have no chance when he gets older."

Mrs. Bu smiled when she heard the words, and said, "Okay, I'm sure if you say that."

"Hey, it's fine if mother doesn't object. I'll discuss this matter with mother first. Maybe in the future, if I really have fame and fame, I can earn my life back!" Jia Yun said with a smile.

Mrs. Bu shook her head and said: "My mother doesn't have extravagant expectations, as long as you are safe and sound, it is best to marry a good wife and come back sooner. If you have a son and a half daughter, my mother will be happy."

Jia Yun is now 16 years old, which is the age to get married in this era, so Mrs. Bu is very concerned about her son's marriage.

Jia Yun does not resist getting married and having children. In his previous life, he was born in a rural area, and his wife was also found on a blind date. The husband and wife have been together for decades. Although they have bumped into each other, they still love each other.

So, now that Mrs. Bu mentioned the matter of marrying a wife, Jia Yun did not refuse, but said: "There is no rush for this matter. Our family doesn't have much savings right now. Let's wait until we earn some money."

Mrs. Bu also knew about her family's family background, so she didn't say any more, and just took this matter to heart.

After chatting with her mother for a while, Jia Yun went out and walked to the small river, ready to continue practicing.

The place he was looking for was in a remote location, with an elegant and beautiful environment, and it was a pure place for cultivation.

Sitting cross-legged, facing the rising sun, Jia Yun worked silently, wisps of purple light entered his body...

……

Rongguo Mansion, Jiang Yunxuan, Jia Baoyu's residence.

His room is naturally very delicately furnished.

The walls on all sides are exquisite and clear, and the piano, sword, vase, and stove are all pasted on the wall. The brocade gauze cover is covered with golden pearls, and even the bricks on the ground floor are all emerald chiseled flowers. The bookshelves, screens, round tables and other furniture are also carefully crafted. .

In the room, Jia Baoyu sat on the couch feeling bored, while Xiren standing beside him held a piece of jade and hesitated to speak.

Jia Baoyu gave her a sideways look, and said angrily, "It's early in the morning, so speak up when you have something to say."

Xiren gritted his teeth, and said hesitantly, "Master, this jade...the slave looks a little strange..."

Jia Baoyu shuddered immediately, his round face turned pale, his spirits lifted, his eyes widened, and he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

"I can't see it, I just feel a little strange, and I don't know what's going on." Xiren replied with lowered eyebrows and downcast eyes.

Jia Baoyu's psychic jade, besides his own wearing, was touched by Xiren the most. Every night before Jia Baoyu went to bed, Xiren had to take out the jade and put it under the pillow.

Therefore, besides himself, Jia Baoyu's jade is most familiar with Xiren.

Of course, Xiren didn't see anything wrong at this moment. After all, this new jade was newly made by Jia Baoyu, but after all, it was done by famous experts, and it was not too different from the original jade.

However, Jia Baoyu couldn't see anything if he was careless, but Xiren was a woman with a delicate mind and keen senses. The feel of the jade in his hand must be different from the original jade, and she felt it last night.

The reason why she waited until now to tell Jia Baoyu was that she was still not sure, the jade hadn't changed in appearance, and she looked at it carefully, and found nothing wrong, but it was very strange in her hand, like a new piece of jade .

Jia Baoyu raised his eyebrows, gritted his teeth and reprimanded: "Since you can't see it, don't look at it. I wear this jade every day. Can I not find out if there is any problem? Don't mention this matter in the future, or you will be fine." Look."

After speaking, he stood up, snatched the jade from Xiren's hand, turned and walked out.

Seeing that Jia Baoyu was angry, Xiren didn't dare to say anything more, lest the second master lose his temper, so he had to follow out with a depressed face.

When he came to the yard, Jia Baoyu saw Mingyan sitting next to the rockery and eating steamed stuffed buns. The steamed stuffed buns were very fragrant, and he could smell a strong natural aroma of wheat and vegetables from a distance. mouth drooling with greed.

"Hey, Mingyan, did the kitchen make steamed buns this morning?" Jia Baoyu asked curiously, swallowing his saliva.

Mingyan turned around, got up quickly, walked forward, and said with a smile: "Second Master, these are not steamed buns made in the kitchen, but bought from the street."

Jia Baoyu frowned and said, "It's okay, what are you going to buy on the street? Most of the things on the street are not clean, so you eat less. Come, give me one to taste first."

Hearing the words, Mingyan choked for a moment, reluctantly took one out of the paper bag, and said with an aggrieved voice, "Master, I just bought four buns, which is not enough for my little one."

"Don't talk nonsense, the Lord usually rewards you with so much money, it hurts to eat a bun from you?" Jia Baoyu rolled his eyes at him, took the bun and took a bite.

Then, his eyes lit up, and he felt that the steamed stuffed bun was extremely delicious. Compared with the breakfast at home, it was much more delicious.

Jia Baoyu praised: "This steamed stuffed bun is delicious, Mingyan, hurry up and buy some more, I'll give some to Sister Lin and the others to try later."

"Hehe, Er Ye, the buns sold out today have long been sold out. The four in my hand are the last ones to be sold. If you want to eat more, you can do so tomorrow morning." Mingyan said with a smile.

After a pause, he said again: "By the way, the steamed stuffed bun seller is from the Jia family. It's Brother Yun, the son of Fifth Sister-in-law who lives in Xilangxia. The business is quite booming."

"Brother Yun?" Jia Baoyu thought while eating the buns, but couldn't remember who Brother Yun was.

Mingyan nodded and said: "Yes, it's Jia Yun, fifteen or sixteen years old, handsome and gentle, from Sanfang's side, living under the West Corridor, I heard that her father passed away when she was very young , is a dutiful person."

Jia Baoyu ate the buns in a big gulp, took the handkerchief from Xiren, wiped his hands, and said, "Then I have to call him nephew. I'll go and see when I'm free. He can make such a good cake." The steamed stuffed bun I ate must be a wonderful person."

As he said that, he still couldn't get enough of it and said: "Oh, you bought too little today, which whetted my appetite, but now I won't be able to eat it. It makes people feel sad and uncomfortable."

At this time, Xiren who was standing next to him interjected, "Second Master, why don't you tell the kitchen to make some steamed buns?"

Jia Baoyu thought for a while, nodded and said: "That's fine, you go to the kitchen earlier to prepare it, and I will eat with my ancestors later, I want to see if our kitchen can make such a good meal." Eat buns."

Mingyan devoured the last bun, and said with a chuckle, "Master, don't worry, although the cooks in the kitchens in the house are good, it's probably not easy to make such delicious buns."

"Think about it, it's not like they haven't done it before, but there is such a delicious one?"

Jia Baoyu nodded when he heard the words. He grew up with rich clothes and fine clothes, and naturally had a good taste in eating, drinking, and playing.

Thinking of this, he ordered Ming Yan to say: "You also go to the kitchen and ask them to make steamed buns carefully. If they cook delicious buns today, I will go over and reward them personally."

Mingyan smiled, cupped his hands in salute, turned and left with Xiren.
