The Red Chamber begins with a bastard

Chapter 111
In the afternoon, Jia Clan School, Jia Dairu was giving Jia Huan a small stove, when Lai Da suddenly broke in and said: "Master Huan, the old lady has an invitation, please come back quickly."

Jia Dairu was very displeased when someone broke into the classroom suddenly, but when he heard that it was Mrs. Shi who called him, he said, "Brother Huan, you go back to the mansion first, let's call it a day."

Jia Huan gave a salute, packed up the books silently, and left with Lai Da, but she was thinking in her heart that Jia Mu suddenly sent Lai Da to call her, maybe something important happened.

Jia Huan glanced at Lai Da, seeing that the other party didn't reveal what he meant, so he didn't ask any more. He thought about it carefully, and asked himself that there seems to be nothing wrong with it recently and he will be punished. Wang Xifeng should be fine.

Back at Rongguo Mansion, Jia Huan went straight to Jiamu's house, and as soon as he stepped through the door, he saw Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, Sanchun, etc. all cast worried eyes, and Big Face Bao also had complicated eyes, and couldn't help but feel a little shivering.

"Huan'er met the old lady." Jia Huan didn't look sideways, and met the ceremony in a respectful manner.

Mother Jia looked slightly calm, and asked, "Brother Huan, tell me the truth, is the ice cream shop under your name?"

As the saying goes, paper can't cover fire after all, so Jia Huan is not surprised, and he is already a quasi-scholar. Even if he has a little property under his name, Mother Jia must be fine, so she nodded and admitted frankly: "It is indeed Huan. I opened it in partnership with others."

"With whom?" Jiamu asked, "But the Seventh Prince?"

Jia Huan's heart skipped a beat. In fact, he had long suspected that Xu Xiaopang was the prince. Now that Jia's mother asked this question, it seemed true, so she pretended to be surprised and said, "Seventh prince? Huan'er doesn't know the seventh prince. Why does the old lady ask such a question?"

Seeing this, Yuanyang secretly winked and reminded Jia Huan not to be sloppy. This kind of tricks can't be fooled by the old lady, it will only annoy the old lady.

Jia Huan hurriedly said: "The person Huan'er knew was Xu Wei. He met him at Baomoxuan. He bought Huan'er's paintings and learned sketching from Huan'er, so he became acquainted. Later, he partnered to open a family. The ice cream shop, could he be the Seventh Prince that the old lady talked about?"

"Xu Wei?" Mother Jia was a little confused, she knew that the Seventh Prince's name was not Xu Wei, but Xu Wenhou.

Jia Huan nodded and said, "His name is indeed Xu Wei."

Mother Jia was a little uncertain when she heard the words, and just at this time the outside reported: "Master is back."

As soon as the words were finished, Jia Zheng walked in hurriedly. Seeing that Jia Huan was there, the latter couldn't help being startled, and then bowed to Jia Mu with a complicated expression.

Mother Jia hurriedly asked, "Zheng'er, how is the situation now?"

Jia Zheng said solemnly: "Wang Ren was imprisoned in Jinyiwei's prison, and he only met with the prince of Beijing Jing. After asking for a while, he probably understood the situation, and not only Wang Ren was arrested by Jinyiwei, but also in Prince Yizhong's mansion. One of the stewards in the village was also arrested, so it's a big deal, I'm afraid..."

Mother Jia was shocked and said: "It's even more serious to arrest Prince Yizhong's people. Why is Brother Ren so stupid that he even dared to beat the Seventh Prince? It's almost fatal."

Prince Yizhong is the "pocket" of the Supreme Emperor and the "manager" of the old Xungui Group. Even his people have been passive. It can be seen that the Emperor must be very angry this time, and the Wang family may be in trouble.

Jia Zheng sighed: "Brother Ren didn't hit him, it's just that one of his subordinates accidentally injured him, and at that time he didn't know that the person who was beaten was the Seventh Prince."

Jia Mu frowned and said, "That's also irrelevant. How is the Seventh Prince's injury?"

"I heard from Brother Ren that the Seventh Prince was hit on the forehead by the inkstone and turned red, but at the time it seemed that there was no serious problem. The Seventh Prince even ordered the guards to beat up Brother Ren and Manager Xuan. Seriously, Brother Ren was beaten half to death, two of his front teeth fell out, and Director Chu was also seriously injured." Jia Zheng said in a deep voice.

贾环在一旁听着，倒是大概明白怎么回事了，敢情王仁那货伤了徐小胖，徐小胖一怒之下暴揍了王仁顿，最后锦衣卫还把王仁给抓到大狱去了, but who is this Manager Chu?Is it someone from Prince Yizhong?How could he get involved!

Seeing that Jia Huan was thoughtful, Jia Zheng's face darkened, and he shouted sharply, "I'm about to question you, an idiot, since I'm here, it's easy, but you, an idiot, opened the ice cream shop secretly? If you don't do it honestly , take care of your skin."

Jia Huan nodded and said, "It was opened by a friend, and he got Hai'er into some shares."

At this time, Jia Huan naturally used Xu Xiaopang as a shield.

Jia Zheng shouted, "What friend? Why didn't you mention it before?"

Jia Huan said calmly: "The literary friend I met at Baomoxuan at the beginning, he likes to paint, and I have the same interests as my boy, so I made friends with him. Later, he wanted to open an ice cream shop. Out of affection, I invested 100 taels of silver."

Jia Zheng was a pedantic and dull person, he regarded himself as a disciple of a sage, and when he learned that Jia Huan and that friend were friends of literati, his mood slowed down a bit, but he still reprimanded him: "You are only so young, so you just go for money. It’s too late to learn from other people’s lowly business. It’s serious to study hard, get your money back later, and don’t commit the crime again, otherwise you won’t be forgiven lightly.”

With the pressure of his father's name, Jia Huan didn't dare to refute, otherwise he would only ask for trouble, so he obediently agreed, but he didn't think so in his heart.

When Xue Baochai heard that Jia Zheng denounced business as a lowly profession, she couldn't help but bow her head sadly. The four major families were called "Jia Shiwang Xue", and it was not for nothing that the Xue family was ranked last.

At this time, Jia Zheng snorted again and said, "I heard from your cousin Wang Ren that Mr. Chu took a fancy to the ice cream business, so he asked you to discuss the purchase, but you didn't come to the appointment. They went to the ice cream shop to find someone." , and that's why there was a conflict with the Seventh Prince."

Jia Huan couldn't help but suddenly realized, haha, it's the right thing to say, it must be that Wang Ren brought people to the house to make trouble, but he hit the iron plate and injured Xu Xiaopang. This time, even if he didn't die, he would have to peel off his skin. You can still live, but you can't live by doing evil yourself!

"Huan'er doesn't know what Mr. Chu is, but cousin Wang Ren did approach me and said that he would pay 300 taels of silver to buy the ice cream shop and the recipe, but the secret recipe of the ice cream shop is Xu Wei's, and Hai'er only holds [-]% of the shares. I can't be the master, so I didn't agree to Cousin Wang Ren." Jia Huan pretended to be wronged and said: "Cousin Wang Ren sent another post to invite my son last night. The children's home examination is coming soon, and he is busy with homework, so he didn't go."

Jia's mother and Jia Zheng frowned when they heard the words. They all knew how popular the ice cream business is now. Wang Ren wanted to buy it for 300 taels of silver. What's the difference between grabbing it?What's more, it's too shameful to attack relatives. I'm afraid it's because he bullied Jia Huan because he was young and a bastard!
"Is that Xu Wei your friend?" Jia Zheng asked.

"Yes, but the friendship is mediocre, not a good friend." Jia Huan nodded and admitted, but he also kept his eyes open, and did not admit that he had a good friendship with Xu Wei, so as not to ask him to ask Xu Wei to intercede, Wang Ren deserved what he deserved.

"What does this Xu Wei look like?" Jia Zheng asked.

Jia Huan described Xu Wei's appearance again, Jia Zheng's complexion was extremely complicated after hearing this, and Jia Huan knew that he was inseparable when he saw this, and asked pretendingly puzzled: "Why does the master ask this?"

Jia Zheng didn't know what to say. Is he a bastard who is lucky enough to meet nobles even if he sells a painting? No wonder his painting was passed to the emperor, he coughed lightly and said: "You My friend should be the Seventh Prince Xu Wenhou, Xu Wei is just his pseudonym!"

Jia Huan "lost his voice" and said: "What? He is actually the prince, and the prince can also run along the street?"

Jia Zheng glared at Jia Huan and said, "The Seventh Prince has been weak and sickly since he was a child, and he gained weight only after taking too much medicine, so the emperor asked him to do more activities. He is not strictly controlled at ordinary times, and he often pretends to go out of the palace to play. You don't know that Where did you get the good fortune to make friends with the prince."

Mother Jia was both happy and sad, sighed and said: "From this point of view, this matter really has nothing to do with Brother Huan, but Brother Ren himself fainted, I hope the seventh prince is not seriously injured, otherwise... The Wang family is in danger, and our Jia family may also be implicated."

Jia Zheng also had a sad expression on his face. His brother-in-law Wang Ziteng had only been promoted to the Nine-Border Commander for more than half a year, and this kind of thing happened. The position of Nine-Front Commander-in-Chief might be suspended. Pushing it up, and now looking for a reason, why don't you take the opportunity to pull him down.

"Go back and study hard!" Jia Zheng glanced at Jia Huan and said, not mentioning the withdrawal of shares. Having this relationship is also profitable, how can you be so stupid as to withdraw your shares.

Jia Huan left with peace of mind, not in a normal way. Wang Ren is a greedy idiot, and now he has finally hit the south wall. Maybe the Wang family will also be unlucky. Without the backing of the Wang family, Wang Xifeng is nothing. Ma'am, with the name of a aunt, I still have to make superficial appearances, but in reality, I don't need to look at her face any more.
