The Red Chamber begins with a bastard

Chapter 108
The pomegranates in the garden were in full bloom, attracting bees and butterflies to fly around. Xue Baochai couldn't help but stop to watch when she passed by. Suddenly, she saw a pair of jade butterflies as big as cup lids, very beautiful, flying past her eyes.

After all, Xue Baochai was a girl of twelve or thirteen years old. She was so stubborn that she couldn't help but rolled up her sleeves, revealing two jade arms like pink lotus root, and tiptoed forward with a round fan, ready to pounce.

Frightened, the pair of jade butterflies flew into the distance in panic, Xue Baochai chased them all the way, sweating slightly, panting delicately, but in the end the jade butterflies still jumped over the rose trellis and flew to the other side of the courtyard wall.

Xue Baochai stared at the wall in disinterest for a while, and was about to turn around and leave, but saw a young man standing at the corner of the garden path. She couldn't help being surprised, and covered her mouth with a round fan, and the red glow instantly covered her eyes. A fair face.

The boy standing at the corner of the flower path at this moment is none other than Jia Huan who just came out of Lixiangyuan.

It turned out that Jia Huan had chatted with Aunt Xue for a while and then said goodbye. It happened that Lixiang Garden was connected to Jia’s Mansion Middle Road in front, so there was no need to go around the street, it would be much faster to go back to the middle road directly through the corner gate.

As a result, as soon as Jia Huan walked near the back garden of Jia's Mansion Middle Road, he saw Xue Baochai fluttering the butterflies. For a while, he didn't know whether to retreat or to go up to say hello, but watching Bao's sister fluttering the butterflies was also quite pleasing to the eye. Unexpectedly Xue Baochai, who is usually dignified and elegant, and who is rigid when sitting, lying and standing, can actually show such an innocent and lively side, which is a feast for my eyes, especially after Xue Baochai was discovered, the shy appearance of the snack is simply amazing. The beauty was so bubbling that Jia Huan was a little lost.

At this time, Xue Baochai finally recovered, and said with a mixture of anger and anger: "Where did Brother Huan come from? You really surprised me."

Jia Huan was a little embarrassed and smiled: "I just came back from Lixiangyuan, what...what is Sister Bao doing here?"

As soon as this remark came out, Jia Huan couldn't help knocking himself on the head. This thing suddenly crashed. Isn't this the pot that doesn't turn on and which pot to lift?

Sure enough, Xue Baochai's cheeks fluttered immediately, she rolled her eyes at Jia Huan and said, "Brother Huan came back with my elder brother after drinking?"

Jia Huan couldn't help feeling Xue Baochai's intelligence secretly. He was so introverted, he drew inferences from one instance, nodded and said: "Cousin Pan is drunk, so I'll take him back by the way, and it happens that my aunt is at home, so she invites me to drink tea and talk about homework for a while." .”

Xue Baochai suddenly said: "So that's how it is. It's too much trouble for Brother Huan. Brother Huan doesn't drink well, and he tends to make trouble when he's drunk. Fortunately, you sent him back."

It was the first time for Jia Huan to talk to Baochai face to face alone. Now that he was so close, he felt that his eyes were bright, his bones were icy and his muscles were icy. Moreover, in the summer, there was no trace of sweat on this girl, which gave people a very good feeling. It was clean and comfortable, and one could smell a faint fragrance emanating from his body, which made him secretly amazed.

"Sister Bao, you're being polite. Cousin Pan slept all the way, but there was no trouble." Jia Huan said.

Xue Baochai said with a smile: "Occasionally there will be a time or two when you don't make trouble, but it's hard to deal with it. Whoever you are, if you make him unhappy, you can hit him with your fist, and the servants below will be miserable."

Jia Huan lost his voice: "So, I escaped a catastrophe this time?"

Xue Baochai laughed and said, "That's right, don't drink with him in the future."

"Sister Bao is not bluffing me, is she?" Jia Huan laughed.

Xue Baochai's face was slightly hot, and it was mostly for scaring, but it was out of good intentions. She knew best what kind of guy her elder brother was, so she was worried that Jia Huan would be misled by her elder brother.

"Yes, I was bluffing you. In the future, I will find my cousin Ni Pan for drinks more often. Don't cry when you are beaten." Xue Baochai was inexplicably ashamed when she was exposed.

Xue Baochai's annoyed look was really pretty, which made Jia Huan's heart beat a little faster, and said with a smile, "I won't cry anymore."

The west slanting sun shone on the boy's handsome face, and his smile was so bright, Xue Baochai lowered his eyes and said warmly: "Brother Huan has drunk, go back and rest quickly, the sun is hot, be careful of heatstroke."

Jia Huan nodded, and walked past Xue Baochai, who suddenly smiled and said, "When will Brother Huan's "Peach Blossom Fan" be finished, I can buy it for 150 taels of silver."

Jia Huan paused, turned around and saw Xue Baochai looking at him narrowly, and couldn't help laughing: "That day on the second floor of Moxue Bookstore, was it Sister Bao?"

Xue Baochai nodded and smiled, and said, "I'm serious."

"From this point of view, "Palace of Eternal Life" sold well." Jia Huan laughed.

Xue Baochai nodded and said, "According to Brother Huan's method, eight volumes have been printed, and the book has already been paid back. When all of them are published, it should be possible to earn several times the profit."

Jia Huan said with a smile: "Congratulations to Sister Bao for your wealth."

Xue Baochai looked at Jia Huan and smiled, "Brother Huan, don't you regret selling it cheap?"

Jia Huan shook his head and said, "No, there are profits and losses in investing. Since Sister Bao has taken the risk, you deserve the benefits."

Xue Baochai looked at Jia Huan thoughtfully, and smiled, "Brother Huan seems to know a lot about merchants and merchants."

Jia Huan was sweating, shook his head and said earnestly: "It's just a little bit of hearsay, and it's not even a fur. Well, the sun is hot, sister Bao, hurry back."

Xue Baochai nodded, turned around and took two steps, then turned around and said with a smile: "Brother Huan, remember, the price can be negotiated."

"No problem!" Jia Huan agreed wholeheartedly. Anyway, the script was written to sell and make money. If it is not sold to anyone, it should be considered as a help to Xue Baochai.

"Thank you!" Xue Baochai walked briskly towards the direction of Lixiangyuan. In fact, a mere few hundred taels of silver is nothing to the Xue family's strong family background. Moxue Bookstore, in fact, Moxue Bookstore was founded by her father when she was born, which is of great significance.

Jia Huan was in an inexplicably good mood, humming a ditty and went back to his residence. Today's gathering was not a waste of social interaction. At least he got to know people like Feng Ziying, Chen Yejun and Wei Ruolan. Useful.

In addition, Jia Huan gained a better understanding of the imperial court, especially the Supreme Emperor Kangping Emperor and the current Emperor Qiansheng through the communication with Feng Ziying and others.

Although the Supreme Emperor Kangping retired, he controls most of the military power, especially the three elite battalions of the Beijing Army. Most of the generals are old people left behind by the Supreme Emperor, as are the ministers of the court, so don't look at it. The Supreme Emperor has retreated behind the scenes, but he has great influence on the government.

On the one hand, the new emperor can't wait to spread his wings and soar independently; on the other hand, the Supreme Emperor is old and full of ambition.

Ever since, there has been a situation where the sun and the moon shine on the universe.

This kind of situation is undoubtedly quite dangerous. If it is not possible, the gun will go off at any time, and the father and son will fight each other. At that time, there will be a bloody storm, and the head will be rolling, and it may endanger the state of Jin.

But now it seems that the honorable group including the Jia family is betting on the Supreme Emperor.Political standing has always been the cruelest. Once you stand on the wrong team, you will end up in a very miserable end. The Jia family was eventually wiped out. In all likelihood, it was related to standing in the same line. So, this standing in the line is a technical job. Father Jia Zheng obviously didn't have this ability, and the licentious Jia She, and the inhuman Jia Zhen also didn't have this ability.

If you can't see the situation clearly, you can't make the right choice. In the end, you can only hold Barbie Q together.

Of course, these are just Jia Huan’s guesses, and the situation has not yet become clear, but fortunately, Jia Yuanchun has not just chosen Fengzao Palace. There is no need to worry too much now, Jia's mansion still has at least seven or eight years of glory.

So Jia Huan felt that he could use this time to fully grow up, and then stand in line according to the situation and embrace the thigh of the winner. Even if he can't save the entire Jia family, at least he must save himself and the people he cares about.

Jia Huan went back to his residence, took a shower and changed clothes, and then took a nice nap, and devoted himself to selfless study the next day.

The day of the college exam was on the eighth day of July, but the place where the college exam was held was Tongzhou, because the academic and political resident of Beizhili was in Tongzhou.
