The Red Chamber begins with a bastard

Chapter 10

Li Shi'er watched Jia Huan walk out of the flower hall Shi Shiran, feeling very depressed. He thought that Jia Huan would be reprimanded by Mr. Zheng, and then leave in despondency. Unexpectedly, this kid not only was not reprimanded, but also won the praise and lottery from the guests. It seems that Mr. Zheng is also very happy. What the hell, well, I have to report this to my wife.

Let's talk about Jia Huan leaving the flower hall and walking out of the courtyard, Zhan Guang and others immediately surrounded him, Cheng Rixing hugged him, and said with a smile: "Brother Huan won the lottery in this exhibition, we have to reward us, otherwise don't even think about leaving."

Jia Huan was sweating secretly, feeling that these guys followed the wall outside the hall just now, so he had to say: "Reward, ten coins per person!"

Fu Gui pursed his lips and said, "Who hasn't seen a ten-cent coin, this is what you want to reward." After speaking, he reached out and took off the sachet hanging from Jia Huan's waist.

Seeing this, the other Qing guests also rushed up, immediately took off all the ornaments worn by Jia Huan, and then rushed away. Poor Jia Huan was young and weak, so he couldn't resist.

"Grandma's, bandits!" Jia Huan couldn't laugh or cry, but fortunately, the robbed items were all small ornaments, worthless, but after returning home, I'm afraid Hong Ling would complain, because most of those ornaments were made by Hong Ling stitch by stitch.

Jia Huan returned to the residence cursing, and as soon as he entered the room, several pairs of wonderful eyes looked over, it was Hong Ling and Jia Tanchun, master and servant.Hong Ling was stunned for a moment, and then exclaimed in surprise: "Third Master, why did you make it like this, you were robbed?"

"No, I met a group of bandits!" Jia Huan smiled wryly.

At this moment, Jia Tanchun also found that there was nothing on Jia Huan's body, so he asked anxiously, "Brother Huan, what happened? Where did you come back from? Did you really meet a bandit?"

Jia Huan laughed and said, "I'm just kidding, it was Zhan Guang and Cheng Rixing who snatched it."

After Jia Huan finished speaking, he briefly told what happened. Hong Ling was surprised and happy, but also a little angry, and spat: "These guys are really shameless, and they also rob children's things!"

Jia Tanchun covered his mouth with a smile and said, "Forget it, brother Huan won the prize from the guests, so let those people be happy."

However, Hong Ling resentfully said: "The accessories worn by the third master were all made by the servants for a long time, but it is cheaper for those guys."

Jia Tanchun comforted: "If it's gone, it's gone. I'll help you make some again later on. Well, the insoles and sweat towels I made for Brother Huan last time are almost ready. I'll have Cui Mo send them here in the past two days. They are just in time for Chinese New Year."

Jia Huan felt warm in his heart. He was an only son in his previous life, and now it feels good to have a sister who loves him. He smiled and said, "Thank you, third sister."

Jia Tanchun smiled and said: "It turns out that Brother Huan can compose poems. He fooled me before saying he couldn't. Now let's go to meet the guests first, and I will punish you later."

Jia Huan's heart moved and said: "The girl from Uncle Lin's family?"

Jia Tanchun nodded and reminded: "She is older than me, you should be called Sister Lin."

Jia Huan sweated secretly. Now that his identity is Jia Huan, Sister Lin has really become Sister Lin. She said in embarrassment, "Third Sister, have you met this Sister Lin?"

Jia Tanchun nodded and said: "Yes, we met for a while, and now Sister Lin is being led by the eldest wife to meet the elder."

The so-called elder is Jia Zheng's elder brother, Jia She, and the eldest grandmother is Jia She's continuation wife. As a niece, Lin Daiyu naturally has to meet Jia Zheng and Jia She, two uncles, when she enters Jia's mansion.

At this time, Jia Tanchun couldn't help but praised again: "This sister Lin is really good-looking. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is a fairy descending from the earth, and she is also very knowledgeable, but she is a little weaker."

Jia Huan laughed and said, "Do you look good with a sister?"

Shi Shu and Hong Ling both giggled, Jia Tanchun made a gesture to reward Jia Huan with a slap, and said angrily, "Well, Huaner, I just made fun of your sister, believe it or not, I tore your mouth off."

"Haha, I'm just kidding, my sister must forgive me for this." Jia Huan bowed and apologized.

Jia Tanchun then withdrew his hand, and Jia Huan asked curiously again: "Sister, how do you know that Sister Lin's knowledge is good? Could it be that you have competed with each other?"

Jia Tanchun shook his head and said: "That's not true, but the ancestor asked Sister Lin if she had ever studied, and Sister Lin said she only read four books, tsk tsk, she finished all four books, so it can be seen that her knowledge must be higher than ours, and Mr. Lin is still in the first place. Under the influence of his ears since childhood, Sister Lin's knowledge is naturally not bad."

"It makes sense!" Jia Huan nodded. Lin Daiyu's literary quality is indeed very high. There is no doubt about it. Her song "The Song of Burying Flowers" is really the pinnacle of cherishing flowers and hurting spring.

"Being famous is worse than meeting each other. Let's go. I'll take you to meet Sister Lin. Maybe you can exchange ideas." Jia Tanchun couldn't help but dragged Jia Huan out.

"Uh, where are you going?"

"Of course I went to the ancestors!"

Jia Huan hesitated and said: "The old ancestor didn't call me, so it's not good to come here uninvited."

Jia Tanchun said with a smile: "Could it be that my sister was sent by my ancestors?"

Jia Huan immediately understood what he said, and immediately followed Jia Tanchun to the direction of Jiamu's yard. Although Sister Lin was not his type, she was the number one heroine in Mr. Cao's works, and he wanted to meet her.

Soon, Jia Tanchun and Jia Huan entered Jiamu's Courtyard, and the Jiamu's Courtyard was very lively at the moment.

Jia Huan and Jia Tanchun entered the house, and a group of daughters-in-law and mothers surrounded the old lady Jia Mu Shi like stars.Due to the cold weather, Jia Mu was dressed thickly, with fur and jewels, which made her look even more graceful and luxurious.

Brother saw two girls, one big and one small, sitting quietly on the footsteps in front of Jia's mother. They were the second girl Jia Yingchun and the fourth girl Jia Xichun of Jia's mansion.

Jia Yingchun was about eleven or twelve years old, with plump skin, a medium figure, fresh lit cheeks, goose fat nose, gentle and silent, and amiable to look at, while Jia Xichun was about the same age as Jia Huan, not tall enough, described as small, still a yellow-haired girl, but fair and clean, with a melon-seeded face and crescent-like eyes, she was obviously a little beauty.

Seeing that Jia Tanchun brought Jia Huan with him, Jia Yingchun was only slightly taken aback, but the little loli Jia Xichun's eyes widened in surprise, as if Jia Huan, a disgusting thing, shouldn't be here at all.

It's no wonder, in fact, not only Jia Xichun, but also many people present were a little surprised by Jia Huan's appearance, because Jia Huan used to be a little transparent in the mansion, with almost no sense of presence, except for the daily morning and evening, he rarely appeared in Jia's mother's room, and Jia's mother almost never took the initiative to ask him to come.

"I've seen my ancestors, I've seen my wife!" Jia Tanchun and Jia Huan saluted Jiamu and Mrs. Wang respectively.

Mrs. Wang nodded, with a subtle displeasure flashing in her eyes, obviously dissatisfied with Jia Tanchun's arbitrarily bringing Jia Huan to such an occasion.

Jia's mother smiled and said: "Tan girl is here, there are many people in the room, come here and squeeze with the sisters."

Jia Tanchun hurried over and sat with Jia Yingchun and Jia Xichun on the footrest under Jiamu's chair.Don't think that this seat is a little awkward. In fact, only the juniors who are close to Jia's mother are eligible to sit. For example, Jia Huan, Jia Lan, Jia Cong, etc. have never sat before.

At this time, Jia Mu's eyes finally fell on Jia Huan, and a strange look flashed across her eyes.At this moment, Jia Huan is tall and handsome, with clear eyes and rosy complexion, which is much better than the image of more than a month ago, and his temperament is calm, giving people a sense of elegance.

It is said that although Jia Huan came to greet Jia Mu every day, he kowtowed through the door curtain every time, and Jia Mu never cared much about this grandson, so Jia Huan left after kowtowing every time, without a chance to talk face to face. Now that Jia Mu suddenly saw Jia Huan who had changed so much, no wonder she was surprised.

"This... is Brother Huan?" Mother Jia narrowed her eyes and looked carefully.

Wang Xifeng was dressed brilliantly in colorful embroidery today, like a concubine or fairy, and said with a smile, "Isn't that Brother Huan? The ancestor didn't even recognize his own grandson, why don't we have a granddaughter, so why don't we kiss grandson?"

All the daughters-in-law and maids laughed, and Mother Jia was also teased and scolded: "Well, you are a rascal, and you have settled down, so you are laughing at my old woman, and slapping carefully."

Jia Huan stood with a smile on his face all the time, polite yet cramped, Mrs. Wang couldn't help frowning secretly when she saw this, and Wang Xifeng was also in a complicated mood.

Although Jia's mother favors Jia Baoyu, she will not suppress Jia Huan because of this. After all, they are all descendants of the Jia family. She is naturally happy to see the next generation of Jia's talents come out in succession. This is the so-called butt decides the head. She nodded and said, "Brother Huan looks more energetic."

"It's all because of the old wild ginseng that my wife rewarded. After drinking the soup for half a month, Huan'er's body is indeed much better, and he has become more energetic." Jia Huan said.

Jia's mother suddenly said: "I know that old mountain ginseng. Your mother has kept it for many years and is reluctant to eat it. She didn't even give Baoyu, so I gave it to you to make up for your health. In the future, you must honor your mother well, otherwise my wife will not follow her."

Jia Huan quickly said yes, then turned around and kowtowed to Mrs. Wang, a flash of regret flashed in the latter's eyes, and he smiled unnaturally: "Good boy, get up quickly."

Jia Huan took advantage of the situation and stood up, found a seat in the corner and sat down. At this time, he already understood that he was cheated by the old sister, and Jia Mu didn't ask him to come to see the guest at all.

After Jia Huan sat down, he looked at Jia Tanchun, who also happened to look over, and made an apologetic look.

Jia Huan couldn't help smiling wryly, he naturally understood Jia Tanchun's good intentions in deceiving him, he just wanted to show his face in front of his ancestors and everyone, but he didn't know that this move might have aroused Madam Wang's dissatisfaction.

　On Monday, I rushed to the new book list, asking for all kinds of collections, monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, support, and investment.Whether to eat meat or drink soup, it depends on whether you can rush up when the list changes on Monday.Please cast your votes, thank you very much.
