The Red Chamber begins with a bastard

Chapter 8 Sister Lin is Coming to the Mansion

Jia Tanchun was very happy at the moment, smiling like a flower, with bright eyes and bright teeth, she was so pretty. Jia Huan couldn't help silently giving a thumbs up to his old lady. When she was in her teens, she would definitely be a great beauty who could score more than 85 points.

At this time, Jia Huan couldn't help but think of Jia Tanchun's verdict: he was born shrewd and ambitious, and born in the end of the world.Qingming tears sent to the riverside to look, a thousand miles of east wind and a dream away.

There is also a picture behind the judgment, which shows two kite-flying people, a vast ocean, a big boat, and a woman on the boat is covering her face and crying.

Obviously, Jia Tanchun's final destiny is to marry overseas. Since then, the mountains are high and the road is far away, and the flesh and blood are separated.

When reading "Dream of Red Mansions" as an outsider, Jia Huan also sighed for Jia Tanchun's distant marriage. Unexpectedly, the world is unpredictable, but now he has become a person in the book and Jia Tanchun's younger brother. Naturally, his mood is very different.

Perhaps at this moment, Jia Huan has truly assumed the identity of the original owner, and has created a blood-linked family relationship, and began to worry about the future and fate of the old sister.

Before that, Jia Huan felt that if he wanted to leave Jia's mansion in the future, he would take his biological mother, Aunt Zhao, with him, but now, it is estimated that there will be another Jia Tanchun.

Jia Tanchun seemed to sense the complicated emotions in Jia Huan's eyes, and asked softly, "Brother Huan, what's wrong?"

Jia Huan quickly laughed and said, "It's nothing, we siblings seem to have never tried to talk like this before."

Hearing this, Jia Tanchun's nose was slightly sour, and he took out a rope from the sachet tied around his waist and said lightly: "Brother Huan, lift up your feet, and I'll measure you."

Jia Huan lifted his feet up as he said, and Jia Tanchun carefully measured the size of his feet and his waist, and said softly, "I'm just free right now, so I'll make two pairs of insoles and two sweat towels for Brother Huan, just in time for the Chinese New Year."

For women in ancient times, needlework was a must-learn skill, no matter they were from poor families or ladies, and Jia Tanchun was obviously no exception.According to the description in the book "Dream of Red Mansions", the ornaments worn by the girls in Jia's house are all made by themselves, or made by their maids, especially Jia Baoyu, who is very picky. The items they wear must be made by their sisters or his maids, and nothing made by outsiders is considered dirty.

"Thank you, third sister!" Jia Huan thanked Jia Huan hurriedly, remembering that in the original book, Jia Tanchun only made insoles for Jia Baoyu, but his younger brother Jia Huan did not receive such treatment. For this reason, Aunt Zhao even scolded Jia Tanchun.

Jia Tanchun laughed and said, "Brother Huan gave me a portrait, and I made sweat towels and insoles for Brother Huan. It's just reciprocation. Brother Huan is so polite."

Jia Tanchun put away the rope and sat down again, the two siblings chatted again, the former suddenly woke up and said, "I heard that Miss Lin is coming to the house in a few days, Brother Huan, do you know?"

Jia Huan shook his head, is Lin Daiyu going to enter Jia's mansion?It's worth looking forward to, but that's all. To be honest, Sister Lin is both talented and good-looking, but she is sensitive and suspicious, and has the problem of playing small temper, which is really not the type that Jia Huan likes. What's more, Sister Lin is only eight or nine years old at this time.On the contrary, the dignified and decent sister Leng Meirenbao made Jia Huan look forward to it even more.

"I heard that Sister Lin is not only very good-looking, but also knowledgeable and courteous. She is a first-class person, but she loves to cry too much. Alas, it is a pity that my aunt died at birth. Now Sister Lin has left her uncle and went to Beijing alone to live under the fence. How pitiful!" Jia Tanchun sighed softly.

Jia Huan smiled and said: "Then sister will get along well with sister Lin in the future, and help her more often."

Jia Tanchun glanced at Jia Huan and said, "Brother Huan, don't stay in the house all the time, you should move around more between brothers and sisters."

Obviously, Jia Tanchun is euphemistically reminding Jia Huan to build a good relationship with Jia Baoyu and the sisters.

Jia Huan smiled and said, "I will."

Seeing that Jia Huan listened, Jia Tanchun couldn't help showing a gratified smile, chatted for a while, and left in the wind and snow. She is currently living with Jia's mother.

After Laba, the New Year is getting closer and closer, and the taste of the New Year is getting stronger and stronger. As the political and cultural center of the Great Jin Dynasty, Beijing is the most prosperous place with a population of more than one million.

Jia Huan took to the streets for a few laps in the past few days, hoping to find a business opportunity to make a fortune. Unfortunately, he has no clue yet, but he has a more specific impression of the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty. It is right to get familiar with the environment first. There must be many opportunities to make money in a big city with such a large population. I believe that with my knowledge hundreds of years ahead, I will definitely find a way to make a fortune. The key is to prepare the start-up capital.

This day was the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Jia Huan finished his training as usual, greeted Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, and then went to Father Zheng's study "Meng Po Xuan" to return books.

Since Jia Huan borrowed books last time, Jia Huan went to borrow books several times one after another. It is estimated that Jia Zheng turned a blind eye to this, so Zhan Guang and other Qing customers did not stop him.

Hehe, Jia Huan's Go level in his previous life, if divided according to modern standards, was at least professional [-]th dan. Qing players such as Zhan Guang and Cheng Rixing probably had the highest level of amateur [-]th or [-]th dan. If Jia Huan wanted to, he could completely abuse them.

Let's say that when Jia Huan came to the flower hall outside Mengpo Pavilion, he found that Zhan Guang, Fu Gui and others were basking in the sun outside, so he walked up to him and said with a smile, "Old Zhan, old Fu, and old Cheng, why are you standing here?"

Everyone got to know each other well, and they started addressing them casually. Jia Huan now calls Lao Zhan Lao Cheng or something.However, today was a bit unusual, all the Qingkes changed their expressions slightly when they heard the words, they all raised their fingers to their mouths, motioning Jia Huan to keep quiet.

Jia Huan immediately understood, since Jia Zheng is at home today, it seems that there are important guests coming, otherwise Zhan Guang and others must be talking with Father Zheng in the house at this moment, instead of blowing cold wind outside the gate.

Sure enough, Cheng Rixing gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Master Huan, my little ancestor, please keep your voice down, the master is receiving guests, carefully disturbed the inside."

Jia Huan immediately stuffed the few books he borrowed last time into Cheng Rixing's hands, then turned around and left. Although he was not afraid of Jia Zheng, if it was not necessary, he didn't want to meet this cheap old man who was stern-faced all day long.

However, things backfired. Just as Jia Huan was about to leave, a servant walked out with a grim expression. It was Li Shier, Jia Zheng's long-term follower.He frowned and said, "The master asked who was making the noise?"

Jia Huan paused, and turned around slowly. Li Shi'er snorted slightly, and said sarcastically, "It turns out that Brother Huan came here to be mischievous, and he didn't even look at the place. He's so unruly!"

This Li Shi'er was about thirty years old, and he had been Jia Zheng's long-term attendant for nearly ten years, and the rule of Jia's mansion was that servants who had served the masters of the older generation were usually more respectable than the younger masters, so this Li Shi'er was very airy and didn't take Jia Huan, a concubine, seriously.

Jia Huan frowned secretly, and said calmly, "I'm not being naughty, I just came to return the books."

Seeing that Jia Huan dared to talk back, Li Shi'er was immediately upset, and said with an ouch: "Third Master Huan has really improved, and I have borrowed books from the master to read. You wait and see what the master has to say." After speaking, he turned and went in.

Zhan Guang and others cast sympathetic looks at Jia Huan. This master was originally extraordinary, but he was born as a bastard. Otherwise, he would definitely accomplish a lot in the future, but now he is underestimated by a servant.

Jia Huan was very calm, standing on the spot calmly, leaning forward a little, Li Shi'er came out again, gloating and saying: "The master asked Brother Huan to go in, please!"

Jia Huan walked into the flower hall calmly. Seeing this, Li Shi'er was surprised and his teeth itched, and thought: "You brat is kind, don't be scared to pee when I meet you later!"

Let’s say that when Jia Huan entered the flower hall, he saw the dignified father Zheng sitting facing south, with a good-looking appearance, a righteous face, and no anger and prestige, while a middle-aged man sat beside the coffee table on the right hand side.

"Huan'er has seen the master!" Although Jia Huan was reluctant, he could only kneel down and kowtow.

Jia Zheng shouted in a deep voice: "You beast, this is Mrs. Jia, why don't you hurry up and pay your respects."

Jia Huan's heart skipped a beat, could this be the Erwuzi Jia Yucun?That's right, Tanchun said that Lin Daiyu would come to the mansion in the next few days, and Jia Yucun had been teaching Lin Daiyu at the Lin family before, and later went to Beijing with Lin Daiyu, with the purpose of making a comeback through the Jia family.

"Jia Huan has met Mrs. Jia!" Jia Huan bowed to Jia Yucun, thinking, since Jia Yucun came, Lin Daiyu should also enter the mansion today, no wonder he heard the commotion early in the morning.

Jia Yucun stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Brother Cunzhou, is this young master who was born with jade in your house? He is indeed a handsome man with extraordinary bearing. You can tell at a glance that he is not a thing in the pool. He will surely fly to the Nine Heavens in the future."
