The Red Chamber begins with a bastard

Chapter 50
Qin Keqing watched Jia Huan leave, and couldn't help asking: "Good aunt, Uncle Huan said that the kitchen gave him leftovers, but is it true?"

Wang Xifeng sneered and said, "You don't have to pity him, he asked for it."

Qin Keqing wondered, "Why is that?"

Wang Xifeng curled her lips and said, "Ever since I was kicked by a donkey last time, Huan Lao San seems to be a different person. Not only does he treat people completely differently, but he can also recite poems and paint paintings. It's nothing, but this kid is full of small children, and he wants to argue with Baoyu everywhere. Hey, in the middle of last month, Baoyu and his sisters went to play with him. Huan Lao San didn't know what tricks he used to provoke Baoyu and Miss Lin into an argument. , almost smashed the psychic gem, and everyone was bluffed to death, because of this, the old lady and the wife are also a little annoyed!"

Qin Keqing suddenly said: "From this point of view, this guy is really restless."

Wang Xifeng sneered and said: "Or I'm too bored to punish him? Aunt Zhao is not the master of security, and now I add this one, if I don't let him down, what will happen to those who will not be born in the future?"

Qin Keqing didn't say any more when she heard the words. In the feudal society with strict hierarchy, the concept of noble and inferior has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so when Wang Xifeng said this, the Qin family no longer felt inappropriate.

Wang Xifeng picked up the teacup and took a sip, suddenly caught sight of the string of bacon on the coffee table, and suddenly recalled Jia Huan's words, which seemed to hide a mystery, today is clearly the third day of junior high school, but he said it was the fifteenth...the first day of junior high school?fifteen?
That's right, Huan Lao San means that I will be the first grader and you will be the fifteenth grader, right?

Although Wang Xifeng was illiterate, she was still quite clever. At this moment, she finally got over it, and she was startled and angry at the same time. How dare you threaten me, the third child in the ring?I'd like to see what you kid can do to threaten me!
Qin Keqing saw Wang Xifeng staring at the string of bacon, his expression fluctuating, and knew that this person had come to his senses, and thought: "It seems that what my aunt said is right. Although Jia Huan is young, he is quite thoughtful, and he uses such a subtle way to provoke. I really can't treat him like a child, but with his strength, how can he fight against my aunt? I'm afraid he is asking for trouble!"

Besides, after Jia Huan left Wang Xifeng's courtyard, his face became slightly cold. Qin Keqing was present just now, so he was extra careful in his words so as not to fall into the truth, but he also issued an ultimatum to Wang Xifeng in a subtle way.

Jia Huan came out of the corner gate and walked along the narrow path for a while. He was about to return to the middle road of Jia's mansion from the hallway when two people came in front of him. One of them was wearing a white gown with red lips and white teeth. He was quite handsome.

"Huh, Huan'er?" Jia Lian couldn't help being slightly startled when he saw Jia Huan.

Jia Huan stood still and saluted, "Where did Brother Lian come from?"

Jia Lian's gaze was a bit complicated, and he replied: "Aunt Xue's family will be going to Beijing at the end of the month, and my wife asked me to tidy up the Pear Fragrance Court in the northeast corner as a spare, and it's almost done now."

Jia Huan groaned and said, "Second brother Lian has worked hard. It's also thanks to the second brother and the second sister-in-law's internal and external management that we can keep our house in order. Otherwise, I don't know what kind of chaos it will be."

Jia Lian was greatly benefited from hearing this, and laughed and said, "Brother Huan is becoming more and more able to speak. After three days' farewell, you should look at him with admiration. By the way, where did Brother Huan come from?"

Due to the previous incident of Baoyu throwing jade, Jia's mother has already stated that Jia Huan will not pay her respects sooner or later, so Jia Lian guesses that Jia Huan will not come back from Jia's mother.

Jia Huan smiled and said, "I just came back from Lian's second brother's house, and I happened to run into him."

Jia Lian's heart moved: "Brother Huan, do you want something from me?"

Jia Huan shook his head and said: "It's nothing wrong, I just gave some bacon to Lian's second brother and sister-in-law to taste. Although it's not worth much, the taste is not bad. Anyway, I don't feel tired after eating it for more than half a month."

For a while, Jia Lian didn't hear what Jia Huan said, but thought that the latter had been punished by his wife for more than half a month, and now he finally couldn't stand it anymore, so he gave something to please. Combined with the fact that Ping'er came to the door yesterday and begged to be let go, Jia Lian confirmed his guess even more, and smiled calmly: "Brother Huan is too polite, by the way, what does your second sister-in-law say?"

"Brother Rong's daughter-in-law happened to be there too, but the second sister-in-law didn't say anything, and second brother Lian wasn't at home, so she came out after chatting casually." Jia Huan said lightly.

Jia Lian rolled his eyes, took Jia Huan's hand and walked to a corner, and whispered sympathetically, "Brother Huan, I'm really sorry. You have been wronged during this time. You know your second sister-in-law's temperament. She is extraordinarily strong and can fight for three points without reason. Plus, she has the support of his wife and her uncle (Wang Ziteng) behind her. Even I had to let her go. The incident last time... the whole family knew about it. of."

Jia Huan pretended to be surprised and said, "What did Brother Lian say? I don't quite understand."

Jia Lian coughed lightly, and said with an unnatural expression: "Ping'er was forced to leave by your Lian's second sister-in-law, and I was helpless as the second brother, but now that Ping'er is in Brother Huan's house, is it appropriate for Brother Huan to order me around?
Jia Huan frowned and said, "Could it be that Brother Lian wants to take Ping'er back?"

Jia Lian said with a smile: "Ping'er is the girl who came here as a dowry back then, and she has always been in my favor. I planned to take her as a concubine, but your second sister-in-law is jealous, so she has been delaying. Now your second sister-in-law is also thinking about it, and she must agree. If Brother Huan can return Ping'er to me, I can come forward and talk to your second sister-in-law for you, so that she will not make things difficult for you. In addition, I will send two better girls to your house."

In feudal society, even concubines can be given away directly, let alone maidservants. For example, in the original book, Jia She gave Qiutong, the maidservant whom he was tired of playing, to his son Jia Lian as a reward for his ability to handle affairs.

In addition, Jia Lian also shared his mistress, Second Sister You, with his clan brother Jia Zhen. This atmosphere was so dirty that it made people speechless. Therefore, Jia Lian didn't blush at all when he asked Jia Huan for Ping'er.

At this moment, Jia Huan only felt that Jia Lian's handsome face was extremely disgusting, so he directly refused, "No need, Ping'er is fine for me to use, and the second brother Lian should find another one." After speaking, he turned and drove straight away.

Jia Lian couldn't help being dumbfounded, and then blushed, and said in a deep voice: "Two for one, it's a matter of taking advantage, Brother Huan, really don't think about it?"

Jia Huan didn't even look back, and walked away. Jia Lian was both angry and surprised. He thought that Jia Huan had been punished to death by Wang Xifeng, so he sent something to please Wang Xifeng and begged for mercy. Unexpectedly, this kid was so stubborn, and dared to offend himself for a girl. Wait, this kid has already dealt with Ping'er, right?
Jia Lian is a hungry stud. If Wang Xifeng hadn't been on guard day and night, he would have eaten up Ping'er long ago. Now that he judges others by himself, he naturally thinks that it is impossible for Jia Huan to leave Ping'er, a juicy cabbage.

Hey, Jia Lian is so jealous and angry, he forgot to consider Jia Huan's age for a while, a boy of seven or eight years old, even if he wants to, he can't do it!
Let's say that Jia Huan returned from Chuantang to Jia's Mansion Middle Road, and just rounded a rockery, suddenly a red shadow flashed in front of him, and he almost collided with a maid wearing a red teeth-pinch vest, both of them were startled, and each took two steps back.

"It turned out to be Third Master Huan, but I gave this maid a fright!" The maid patted her slightly puffed chest, still in shock.

Jia Huan took a closer look and found that it was Caixia in his wife's room, and hurriedly said: "Sorry, I scared sister Caixia."

Although Caixia's appearance is not particularly outstanding, she is also very pretty and pleasant, she said with a smile: "It's none of the third master's business, it's the servant girl who lost her mind, where did the third master come from?"

Jia Huan said casually: "It's boring to stay in the room, so come out and take a walk."

Caixia couldn't help showing sympathy, she knew about Jia Huan being banned from leaving the house by his wife, and she also knew about leftovers for Jia Huan in the kitchen, but she was just a servant, and there was nothing she could do to help.

"By the way, last time... about copying scriptures, thank you sister Caixia for helping me." Jia Huan made a bow.

Caixia smiled slightly: "Third Master Huan is talking about the two extra Diamond Sutras?"

Jia Huan nodded, and Caixia covered her mouth with a low smile: "In fact, the third master should thank Ms. Lin more. It was Ms. Lin who imitated your handwriting and helped me to copy two copies. Otherwise, I really wouldn't be able to report to my wife."

Jia Huan was stunned and said, "Sister Lin copied it?"

Caixia nodded: "That afternoon, Miss Lin happened to come to my wife's room to pick up some things. When I learned that Mr. Huan was copying the scriptures in the ear room, she asked me to steal a copy of the scriptures copied by the third master. She took a look and left. Unexpectedly, after dark, Zijuan sent three copied scriptures. The handwriting was similar to that of the third master. The maid was still hiding the extra one. I happened to meet the third master today, and the maid woke up."

At this time, Jia Huan finally understood why Lin Daiyu didn't come. After the jade-throwing incident, Lin Daiyu had asked Cuimo to bring her food and apologized, and then copied the scriptures for herself. After that, she sent Xueyan to ask for the script of "The Palace of Eternal Life", but she was "cold" by herself.

Just imagine, with Lin Daiyu's aloof personality, it would be perfectly normal to cut off contact with each other.

Jia Huan bowed deeply to Caixia again and said, "Although Sister Lin copied the scriptures, I still have to thank Sister Caixia for her care. If there is something useful in the future, Sister Caixia just asks."

Caixia's eyes turned and she said: "Third Master, you said this yourself."

Jia Huan nodded affirmatively and said: "I said it, as long as I can do what I can, Jia Huan will definitely not refuse."

Caixia smiled and said: "Okay, the third master really wants to thank me, how about drawing a portrait of me later?"

"No problem!" Jia Huan readily agreed.
