Xian Sun of the Ning Mansion of the Red Chamber

Chapter 138 Tell him that Grandpa is not at home
Master Jing, who had been cultivating Taoism in Xuanzhen Temple outside the city for a long time, suddenly returned home!
The news spread throughout the two houses immediately.

Jia Zhen, who was eating flowers and wine outside, almost didn't even bother to put on her shoes, grabbed the outer shirt that was left aside, and rushed to the mansion with the servant.

After receiving the news, Mrs. You immediately led the whole family up and down the house, no matter if they were direct descendants or sidelines, male heirs or daughter-in-law, all the housekeepers, maids, mothers-in-law and maids went to kneel at the gate of ceremony together. welcome.

"The daughter-in-law leads the family and servants of the whole family to welcome the master back to the house and wish the master well!" Youshi Yingying bowed dignifiedly and elegantly.

When Jia Jing heard this, he turned his gaze to You Shi, with a still expression of indifference on his face, he nodded and said, "Everything is fine at home!"

"If you go back to the master, it's fine!" You Shi replied in a gentle voice.

Then I saw Jia Rong leading Keqing from the inner room to pay homage: "Grandson and daughter-in-law Qin, please greet the grandfather and welcome him back to the mansion."

Ke Qing who was on the side also said softly: "Granddaughter-in-law, please greet my grandfather."

Jia Jing ignored Jia Rong, but when Ke Qing spoke, Jia Jing's eyes stayed on her for a moment.Before Jia Qiang and all the servants bowed down, Jia Jing said impatiently: "Forget about these clichés, prepare a quiet room for me, and let Jia Ying come to see me when he comes back."

As for why his own son Jia Zhen was not there, he didn't see Jia Jing caring at all, or what kind of temperament his son was, how could a father not know.

West Mansion, Rongqing Hall.

Just as Jia Ying was finishing talking about his affairs with the old lady, she heard a woman outside replying: "Old lady, Master Jing from the East Mansion has returned home, Grandma from the East Mansion has sent someone to invite Second Master back."

When Jia Mu heard the words, she looked at Jia Ying in a daze and said, "When he celebrates his birthday, he doesn't come back to the house. In the past, he was only seen when he worshiped his ancestors. Today, it's because of your business, which is unprecedented."

While sighing, he nodded and continued: "It's not as if he hasn't forgotten that he still has a home, and he still knows the importance of it in his heart! Well, don't stay with me any longer, go and call four girls together, Go back to the mansion to meet her father. It is rare that her father can come back. Although this girl grew up with me since she was a child, and she is not lacking in love, she is not as good as her own father, so that she has developed such a cold temper."

Speaking of Xichun, after hearing what Jia Mu said, Jia Ying somewhat understood why Xichun was so lonely.The lack of father's love is one aspect. In the deep courtyard of Hou Men's mansion, how many girls can enter the common people's family and enjoy the care of father's love?Yingchun and Tanchun have always been by his father's side, but Jia Zheng and Jia She are not concerned about anything.Jia Zheng was fine, and occasionally called his daughter and niece to give him some advice.As for Jia Amnesty. Hehe.

In the final analysis, Xichun's temperament is more like Jia Jing's, it is a person's nature, and it is not affected by the external environment.On weekdays, Xichun talked and laughed with all the sisters, but she still couldn't hide the coldness in her bones.Recalling Xichun's ending, it is no different from Jia Jing.

"Old lady, my grandson is leaving." Jia Ying bowed to Jia's mother, turned around and left.

After leaving Rongqing Hall, Jia Ying knew from the maids that several younger sisters were in Tanchun's courtyard, so Jia Ying turned around and went to Tanchun's courtyard.

"Give it to me, you give it to me!"

"No, this is given to me by my second aunt. Even though you finished eating your own, you still come to grab mine, so I won't give it!"

Two half-grown teenagers in the courtyard were torn together, and one of them was holding a small brocade bag the size of two hands in his arms.

"Uncle Huan, if you snatch Jia Lan's things again, I'll beat you!" On the other side, a sturdy boy who looked like a calf stepped forward and pushed one of the older boys away, and pushed the other A thin young man was behind him, pretending to be fierce and bluffing.

As soon as Jia Ying turned into Tanchun's courtyard, he saw Jia Huan, Jia Lan, and Jia Zhu fighting in the courtyard. He didn't pay much attention to it, but Jia Huan rushed up once, but was severely beaten by Jia Zhu. Pushed to the ground, sat on the side and burst into tears, crying to go back and tell the old lady.

Jia Ying hated being a man, crying and crying at every turn, so he turned around and walked towards the three of them, asking, "What's going on?"

When the three saw Jia Ying approaching, Jia Lan and Jia Zhu respectfully stepped forward and said, "Greetings to Second Uncle."

Seeing someone coming, Jia Huan's wailing became louder.

Jia Ying wrinkled his face, showing displeasure, looked at Jia Huan and scolded: "A man, crying and crying, what a shame, you still don't shut your mouth!"

Although Jia Huan hadn't talked to this second elder brother very much, he knew that this second elder brother Ying was capable. Normally, even when his father saw him, he was kind and friendly, unlike him and Baoyu who always scolded him. Lian's second brother used to scare the younger ones with the deeds of this Ying's second brother, so Jia Huan was still a little afraid of Jia Ying.Now hearing Jia Ying's scolding, she immediately shut her mouth obediently.

"What are you doing sitting on the ground? Do you still want me to lift you up? Stand up!" Jia Ying scolded with a stern expression.

Jia Huan stood up according to his words, still looking sad, hunched over and slouching, Jia Ying became angry when he saw it, the male heirs of Jia's East and West Houses, don't worry about it. Direct and collateral, successful and ineffective, at least in terms of appearance, all of them are upright, and up to now, he has only met two, just looking at them is not pleasing to the eye.One is the lustful Jia Rui, and the other is the careless Jia Huan.

As far as Jia Huan is concerned, his appearance is actually not bad, except for his small eyes, there is no other shortcoming. The biggest shortcoming lies in his temperament. I don't know which one he followed?
"As an uncle, what are you doing bullying two nephews?" Jia Ying asked in a deep voice.

But Jia Lan said from the side: "Second Uncle, Second Aunt gave each of us a bag of fruit, and Uncle Huan came to me to ask for it after eating his. I already gave him some, and he still wants to grab the rest. These are for Jia Zhu, I am not even willing to eat them myself!"

The bag in Jia Lan's arms contained a bag of nuts from southern Xinjiang. This kind of thing is still a rare commodity nowadays, and some are only shipped from the south in certain seasons every year.

Jia Ying rubbed Jia Lan's head, chuckled and said, "You are so young, but you know how to give way!"

But Jia Lan said crisply: "People usually bully me when they see that I am thin, and it is Jia Zhu who protects me."

Hearing this, Jia Ying turned to Jia Zhu who was on the side, stretched out her hand and patted his thick muscles, and said in admiration, "It's only been a few days since I saw you, Jun'er, you are getting stronger and stronger, and you are doing well. There is a saying that 'two people are of the same heart, and their strength can cut gold. ', you brothers should help each other, this is a good thing, what should Second Uncle reward you for?"

While talking, he began to grope all over his body with one hand, but after a while, Jia Ying showed an embarrassed smile. He changed into an official uniform when he entered the palace, and now he has not had time to change back to his regular uniform, but his body is empty , didn't even have a pendant, but she was going to make a fool of herself in front of the younger generation.

Jia Jun still waited for Jia Ying's reward with a simple and honest face. He often heard people say that this second uncle Ying was not only a Wenqu star, but also a civil and military star. Huguang suppressed the rebellion, his martial arts were invincible, and he was the person he admired the most. Now that his second uncle wanted to reward him, he was naturally very happy.

Jia Ying looked at the hopeful and honest Jia Zhu, and didn't know how to speak for a while.

But Jia Lan, who was on the side, looked at Jia Ying's empty shirt without any accessories, but saw Jia Ying's embarrassment, pulled Jia Zhu's sleeve aside and said, "Don't you want to learn from the second uncle?" Do you want to lead troops to fight? What other rewards do you want?"

Jia Jun also reacted, looked at Jia Ying and said honestly: "Second Uncle, I don't want a reward, I want to follow you to the battlefield to kill the enemy!" He also waved his fist.

When Jia Ying heard this, she chuckled, a boy who was not even ten years old was going to fight clamorously.He probably doesn't even know what the battlefield is like.Even himself, he has never been to a real battlefield, but he asked the wrong person.

However, Jia Ying didn't want to dampen his enthusiasm. The Jia family's family of martial arts passed on to the grass-roots generation, and finally there was a seedling who could inherit the martial arts, so he should be cultivated well.

Immediately, he looked at Jia Jun and said, "There is no battle now, so when Second Uncle goes to fight in the future, how about taking you with him?"

Jia Jun smiled happily, smiled foolishly, nodded heavily and said, "Okay!"

"Can the second uncle teach me martial arts? I am especially able to endure hardships, and I am not afraid of tiredness or pain. It's just that no one taught me."

Jia Jun is also a decent great-great-grandson of Rongfu, with a similar status to Jia Ying in Dongfu, but there is only one widowed mother in the family. Don't ask where his father is, because his father is also the "boss" of their lineage. .

Orphans and widows, although they have the support of the family, they are not rich after all, and learning martial arts is a very expensive thing.

Jia Ying nodded and said, "Go to my side later, I'll help you find a good master."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Jia Lan again and said, "Can you go to school to study?"

Jia Lan shook her head and said: "My mother said that I was too young, and I was not allowed to go to school until I was ten years old. My mother taught me to read on weekdays. Uncle Ying, or you can accept me as a Apprentice, teach me to read."

When Jia Ying heard this, she smiled lightly and asked, "Are you almost nine years old?"

"Six months away!"

"Looking back, I will discuss with your mother. Today's school is different from the past. There are some good teachers there. If your mother is really unwilling, Second Uncle will hire a teacher for you. As for the second uncle teach you"

Jia Ying shook her head and said, "Second Uncle is not a scholar. At your age, Second Uncle can't teach you. When you get older, Second Uncle will be a few years older. Maybe he can teach you something."

Jia Lan was a little disappointed, and wondered if the second uncle didn't like her. He was a Tanhua Lang, and Wen Quxing came down to earth, so how could he not be able to hand himself over to him?
Jia Ying didn't explain too much, the knowledge in his belly was not even comparable to those Yunnan candidates who failed the election, he was just a person who took shortcuts.

Fu looked at Jia, who was drooping, and scolded in a solemn voice: "From tomorrow onwards, you go to the school to report every day, and I will talk to Mr. Zheng later, put away your foolish look. , stand up straight!"

Facing Jia Ying's gaze, Jia Huan was frightened for no reason, and stood up straight according to the words, but still hung his head.

"Second brother Ying, why don't you come in and sit in the house when you come." But seeing a few sisters in the house came out, Tanchun saw Jia Ying in the yard who seemed to be reprimanding Jia Huan, glanced at Jia Huan, Fucai and Yan said to Jia Ying.

Jia Ying withdrew the stern expression on her face, and said to the girls with a smile, "I came here to find Sister Xichun, but when I saw the three of them arguing, I asked a few words."

Tan Chun looked at Jia Huan after hearing the words, and asked, "But you bullied Lan'er again?"

Jia Huan said with a grievance, "It was Jun'er who pushed me down."

"It was you who snatched Jia Lan's fruit first, and I pushed you!" Jia Zhu said unconvinced.

Naturally, Tanchun couldn't argue with an eight or nine-year-old child, so he moved up to Jia Huan, poked his head with his jade finger and said, "You're a disappointment, aren't you just a fruit? Can make you so greedy, even bully your nephew, have you never seen it, or haven't eaten it!"

Tanya started to act, she was no less prestigious than Sister Feng, Jia Huan's fear of this sister was comparable to that of his father, but now she was scolded obediently, and did not dare to refute even a word.

Seeing that Tanchun was getting more and more angry, Jia Ying who was on the side just started to persuade: "Third sister, don't be angry. Although he is a generation older than Lan'er, he is not that old. I just talked with him. Said, let him go to school tomorrow, if you can discipline him more, you can learn more books and gain more knowledge, sister, don't blame me for being nosy."

Tanchun heard the words, and said in a harmonious voice: "What did the second brother say? If he can have half of your ability, why should I be so angry? I have also heard brother Bao talk about the situation in the school. Let me see it." , I don’t know how much better than in the past, let him go there, he can learn well, it’s too late for me to thank my second brother, how can I blame you.”

Jia Ying smiled slightly and said, "You and my brothers and sisters, why do we need to see each other like this, we are all one family, Jia Huan is also my brother, right? I will talk to Master Zheng later."

"This statement is justified." Tanchun said with a smile when he heard the words.

"What is Second Brother looking for me for?" It was Xi Chun who was at the side and asked aloud.

Just as Jia Ying was about to speak, he saw a young man running in and said to Jia Ying, "Second Master, the Second Young Master of the Xu Mansion outside the gate of the mansion is asking to see you."

When Jia Ying heard this, her heart moved slightly, and she asked again: "Did he specify that he wants to see me? Is your Second Master Lian in the mansion?"

"Back to the second master, the second master Xu came from the East Mansion, and only asked if the second master was in the mansion, and the younger one only said to ask for him, but did not say that the second master was in the mansion. We Second Master Lian just went to the East Mansion." The boy replied.

Jia Ying nodded and said: "You did a good job. When you went back to him, you said that the second master just left the mansion not long ago, and I don't know where he went."

Jia Ying knew in her heart why Xu's second child was looking for him, but even if he wanted to help, this was not the time for them to meet.Besides, when it comes to court disputes, there are some things that he can't decide. He will help if he should help, but he can't guarantee anything.

If they met each other, he would not be able to agree to any request made by Xu's second son, and instead, they would embarrass each other in vain.
