The Red Chamber begins with a bastard

Chapter 26

It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when Jia Huan returned to the gate of Jia's mansion, the sky was gloomy, and it seemed that it was going to snow.The boy Tiehu jumped out of the carriage, he couldn't help but hug Jia Huan again, and said: "My task is completed, third master, let's go in quickly."

Jia Huan waved his hand: "You also hurry out of the city, it's probably going to snow."

Tie Hu said nonchalantly: "It's still early, and the snow won't fall until dark at the soonest. Third Master, hurry up and enter the mansion. The eldest brother told me to watch you enter the mansion before leaving. Otherwise, you will have to clean up when you go back."

Jia Huan smiled, turned around and walked towards the west corner gate. The servant who was in charge of guarding the west corner gate saw Jia Huan returning to the mansion, and couldn't help being shocked. From far away, he quickly bowed and saluted and said, "Master Huan is back."

Jia Huan nodded, and went straight into the corner gate. It seems that the effect of killing chickens and monkeys today is immediate. In the future, no one will dare to intercept people who come to visit him, at least not in the short term.

Seeing Jia Huan walking away calmly, the servant guarding the gate was secretly relieved, thinking, although this master is young, he is a powerful master. Even Wang Lusheng, who was backed by the big housekeeper, was treated badly.

"The third master is back!"

"The third master is back!"

As soon as Jia Huan stepped into the courtyard of his residence, a group of maids and women came out to welcome him, all of them full of energy and raised their eyebrows.It turned out that the news of Jia Huan's rectification of Wang Lusheng in front of the mansion in the morning had already spread in the mansion, which caused a great shock, and even Jia Mu knew about it, and Jia Mu even said: "Well done, this kind of despicable slave who has no master should be kicked out."

Jia's mother is the de facto supreme ruler of Jia's mansion, and her words undoubtedly sealed the matter, that is, Jia Huan was right, and he handled it well, while Wang Lusheng was a bullying slave who deserved to be beaten and kicked out.

In this way, even if Wang Lusheng relied on a big backer, it would be useless. There was no room for salted fish to stand up, and the deterrent effect was undoubtedly leveraged. Therefore, when cooking at noon, the kitchen did not dare to deprive Jia Huan of the food in the house. He even gave him an extra bowl of egg custard.

However, Jia Huan had already expected that Mother Jia would support him, otherwise he would not have dared to let Tie Hu beat Wang Lusheng unscrupulously.Although Jia's mother is kind, she is shrewd. Although she is eccentric, she is clear that she will never tolerate such things as slaves bullying the master. As the supreme ruler of Jia's mansion, she will definitely safeguard the interests of the master and subclass.

But the facts proved that Jia Huan was exactly as he expected. With Jia's mother speaking, he was not only unscathed, but also gained power by the way, solving the food problem, and now he is at ease!

When Jia Huan entered the house, Hong Ling immediately changed into his home clothes, and brought him a glass of warm wine to keep him out of the cold, while happily asking: "Sir, have you had your lunch yet? The food left for you by the maid is still hot."

Jia Huan laughed and said, "I've eaten, but I'm a little tired. I'll take a break first!"

It was freezing cold, after running outside for a long time, Jia Huan was indeed a little tired, Hong Ling hurriedly made the quilt, and put a Mrs. Tang in the quilt, while reminding: "By the way, my wife called Qian Huai just now, and I don't know what happened."

Jia Huan frowned, nodded to show that he understood, and then fell asleep.

……

In Mrs. Wang's room, Qian Huai knelt on the ground through the curtain, not even daring to breathe, and the maids such as Jin Chuan'er and Yu Chuan'er also held their breaths.

Mrs. Wang took a sip of the ginseng tea, and then looked at the charcoal fire in the stove in a daze, as if she had forgotten the existence of Qian Huai, which made the latter feel uneasy, as if sitting on pins and needles.

After a long time, Mrs. Wang put down her teacup as if waking up from a dream, and said calmly, "You are Qian Huai, the servant who serves Brother Huan?"

Qian Huai quickly nodded and said yes, Madam Wang raised her eyes a little, and asked casually: "I heard that Huan'er made 30 taels of silver by selling paintings a few days ago, is there such a thing?"

The whole family knew about this matter, as the instigator, Qian Huai dared to hide it in front of Madam Wang, nodded and said: "It's absolutely true, I saw it with my own eyes, but that time it was just luck, in fact, Sanye Huan's painting is far from worth so much money?"

Mrs. Wang snorted and said, "Why?"

"Last time it was because I met a fat sheep... Cough, I met a rich man who didn't know how to do it. Today, the three paintings of Mr. Huan only sold for [-] Wen." Qian Huai said a little annoyed.

Mrs. Wang was inexplicably relieved, and hurriedly asked what had happened in detail. Qian Huai also told her in detail.

"Who is it that beat Wang Lusheng outside the gate of the mansion today? What is the relationship between Huan'er and them?" Mrs. Wang asked again.

Qian Huai replied truthfully: "The brothers are called Tie Niu and Tie Hu. They are friends that the third master met on the street. That day, the servant and the third master met a mad dog on the street. The third master was almost bitten by the mad dog. It was Tie Niu who rescued the third master. Later, the third master invited Tie Niu to have a meal to express his gratitude. Those who came and went became good friends."

After all, Qian Huai still has a bit of integrity, and he didn't mention Jia Huan and Tieniu's partnership in business, otherwise, I'm afraid there will be twists and turns again.

Mrs. Wang's complexion sank and she said: "Iron Niu Tiehu? This name is not a good person. Huan'er is young and ignorant, and this slave is also ignorant? In the future, I will encourage my master to go to the streets to make friends with people of all kinds. Be careful with your skin, all good men will be spoiled by you."

Although Qian Huai was wronged, but he dared not argue, so he kowtowed to admit his mistake, and vowed that he would never dare again.Mrs. Wang spoke kindly and powerfully again, and then sent Qian Huai away.

On the eve of the new year, the snowflakes still fell one after another. Wang Xifeng was in a depressed mood today. She really didn't expect Jia Huan to have such a trick, and she easily resolved the troubles in the kitchen.

At this time, the door curtain rang, and the dexterous Ping'er came in with a basin of washing water. She had served Wang Xifeng personally for many years, and she could see why this man was troubled at a glance. While twisting the handkerchief, she said: "My servant now agrees with grandma. The third master Huan is really a big kid. He really can't be treated like an ordinary child. Tsk tsk, look at what he did today. Due to his own predicament, the kitchen doesn't dare to deduct his food now, for fear of being labeled as a slave who bullies the master, to be honest, this is the first time this servant girl has seen grandma, you are deflated."

After Ping'er finished speaking, he covered his little mouth and giggled coquettishly, Wang Xifeng gave the former a shy look and said: "My aunt is so weak, you are gloating, don't you?"

"The servant girl didn't gloat, she just thought it was funny!" Ping'er laughed more and more beautifully after finishing speaking.

Wang Xifeng was so angry that he threw the handkerchief that wiped his face on Ping'er, who said with a groan, "The servant girl is just joking, why is grandma so angry? In my opinion, don't be angry, grandma. Let this matter be over like this. It's good for both of us. After all, we live under the same roof, and we can't see those who look up, so why make it look like a black-eyed chicken!"

Wang Xifeng sneered and said: "Fart, if you can't handle a kid like Lianhuan Laosan, I don't have to be in this family either!"

Ping'er secretly sighed, a bit regretting the teasing words just now, this man has a strong nature, in order to tame the second master Lian, he did not know how many tricks, how much time and energy was spent, how could he easily let Jia Huan go?Since he teased her with words just now, I'm afraid it's even more impossible to let it go.

……

The snow fell silently, Jia Tanchun was sleepless all night, but the lights in the cubicle were still on, Lin Daiyu was obviously not asleep, and occasionally there were one or two light coughs.

What happened during the day has now spread throughout the Jia mansion, and Jia Tanchun naturally heard about it, and was surprised and sweated for Jia Huan. Huan'er's move was indeed brilliant, but it was also very dangerous.

Having such a smart and decisive younger brother, Jia Tanchun is really both happy and sad, because the better Huan'er is, the more uneasy his wife will be, and the relationship between her and Bao Er Ge is actually very good, and she really doesn't want to see their brothers get into a fight.

In the cubicle, Lin Daiyu put down the "Zhenlong Chess Game" in her hand, and softly said to herself: "This game is solved wonderfully, and smart people always surprise."

Brother Ying, who was doing needlework by the fire, raised his head and asked with a smile, "What did you just say?"

Lin Daiyu shook her head and said, "It's nothing, it's late at night, let's sleep peacefully!"

Brother Ying quickly put down her sewing, brought hot water for Lin Daiyu to wash her hands and rinse her mouth, and then helped her to lie down.

Lin Daiyu suddenly sat up again and said, "Brother Ying, this name is not good, you can change your name to Zijuan in the future."

Brother Ying was slightly stunned, and then smiled and said: "Thank you for giving me the name, the maidservant will be called Zijuan from now on, please lie down quickly, girl, I'm catching a cold again."

Lin Daiyu sighed: "Now I believe that my ancestors sent the best people to serve me."

Zijuan said with a smile: "Girl is overrated, it's because you haven't seen someone attacking someone in Bao Erye's house, she is recognized as the number one sage among our girls!"

Lin Daiyu snorted softly and said, "I can compare with Baoyu."

Zijuan teased: "Second Master Bao comes every day, it's very rare for you girl, if you exchange your maidservant for an attacker, Second Master Bao must be willing to do so!"

Lin Daiyu couldn't help but blushed, and stretched out her hand to pinch Zijuan's mouth, and the latter ran away with a smile.
