The Red Chamber begins with a bastard

Chapter 95
Jia Clan School has one day of rest every eight days, and April 23 happened to be the rest day. Jia Huan woke up a little later than usual, did morning exercises for half an hour as usual, and then took a bath and had breakfast.Reading and exams are not only mental work, but also physical work. It is necessary to ensure a certain amount of exercise every day. It can not only exercise the body, but also activate the mind and maintain strong energy at all times.

Just as Jia Huan was eating breakfast, there was a burst of silver bell-like laughter outside, and one could tell it was Shi Xiangyun. This is a cheerful, straightforward, and laughing girl who is as energetic as the sun.

Sure enough, the door curtain was lifted quickly, and with a flash of red shadow, Shi Xiangyun stepped in first. He was dressed in fiery red, like a pomegranate flower blooming in summer, with long eyelashes and curved willow eyebrows. When he smiled, his eyes were like two crescent moons Son, delicate and sweet.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Daiyu, wearing a light blue floral gown and a water green pleated skirt, stepped in like a weak willow supporting the wind, her eyebrows were like distant mountains with Dai, and her eyes were divine water, just like the loving peony with spring tears, The weak rose lying on the dawn branch, a natural kind of delicate and charming.

Then Tanchun, Yingchun, and Xichun also came in one after another. Finally, there was a half-grown beauty, about twelve or thirteen years old, with smooth muscles and bones, a face like a silver moon, eyes like apricots, and lips that were not smacked. Red, with unpainted but emerald green eyebrows, elegant and dignified, calm and indifferent, although she wears a yellow long-lived golden lock on her chest, she doesn't feel tacky at all.

Jia Huan's heart moved, and she thought to herself: "This should be the other heroine of the Red Chamber—Xue Baochai, she is really different, her appearance and temperament seem to be better than the one in the TV series."

At this time, Shi Xiangyun said with a smile: "Fortunately, I got up this time, unlike last time, I was still lying high at noon."

Jia Huan stood up calmly, jokingly said: "Sisters come to the door early in the morning, don't you want to have breakfast? I didn't prepare for you!"

Lin Daiyu covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Who cares about your breakfast? I'm going to accompany Sister Yun to receive the merit. Huan'er, reward her quickly."

"Receive the credit?" Jia Huan was a little confused.

"Damn it." Shi Xiangyun stretched out his hand to pinch Lin Daiyu's mouth, and the latter hurriedly hid behind Xue Baochai, calling out coquettishly, "Sister Bao, save me."

Shi Xiangyun said angrily, "No one can save you today."

Xue Baochai stopped Shi Xiangyun with a smile and said: "Yun'er, please forgive me, you are the birthday star today, I will let me kowtow to you later."

Shi Xiangyun chuckled and said, "That's about the same."

At this time, Big Face also flashed in, with an unnatural expression on his face. He didn't want to come, but all the sisters came, so he had no choice but to follow.

Jia Huan hurriedly ordered Ping'er to serve tea, and Xiao Que'er and Xiao E'er helped to move the stools. The room was not wide, so with so many people coming suddenly, it would inevitably appear crowded.

"This should be Sister Bao. Huan'er has met Sister Bao." Jia Huan formally greeted Xue Baochai.

Xue Baochai stood up and returned the blessing, then smiled calmly and said, "Brother Huan, you are welcome."

A slight strangeness flashed in Jia Huan's eyes. This gentle and pleasant voice seemed familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

Although they talked face to face on the second floor of Moxue Bookstore that day, Jia Huan and Xue Baochai couldn't see each other clearly through the screen. Strictly speaking, this was the first official meeting between the two.

Shi Xiangyun teased: "Huan'er, it's your fault. Sister Bao has been at the house for almost two months. If she hadn't come to the door in person today, she still wouldn't have seen your face. This is not how to treat guests. "

Jia Huan couldn't help feeling ashamed, so he could only laugh and said, "It's indeed my fault, and I hope Sister Bao Haihan."

At this time, Jia Huan was a lot taller than last year, and he was more handsome, with a calm and steady temperament. He looked much more mature than his actual age, and his clear eyes did not have a trace of childishness. He looked like a handsome young man.

Xue Baochai said with a smile: "The government examination will be coming soon. There is nothing wrong with Brother Huan's emphasis on studies. This time the government examination must be easy for Brother Huan."

What Jia Baoyu hates most is official career and economics. Hearing this, he immediately frowned and said, "Today is Sister Yun's birthday, so don't talk about these disappointing things. The theater troupe hired by the old lady should have started singing, let's go and listen to it." play?"

Xue Baochai was interrupted by Jia Baoyu, a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face, but she quickly returned to her calm look, just smiling and not saying a word, making people have to admire her demeanor.

Shi Xiangyun was straightforward in the first place, and because he was on good terms with Xue Baochai, he hugged the injustice and said, "Brother Ai ([-]) what kind of nonsense did you say? Now it seems to be growing up day by day. You should also care about your career and economy, so that you will be successful in the future."

Jia Baoyu said angrily: "Who would not rely on stereotyped articles to gain fame and fame, I just don't bother to do it. Reading is for understanding, not for being a traitor. If this is self-motivated, I would rather be worthless all my life. Sister Yun, you have also changed, since this is the case, you will only play with Huan'er from now on, don't play with me, I am just a fool and mediocre, and I can't afford to climb up."

Shi Xiangyun was so angry that he couldn't speak, his eyes turned red and he was about to cry, Xue Baochai couldn't help frowning, hugged Shi Xiangyun to comfort him, and said to Jia Baoyu: "Brother Bao, even if what girl Yun said is wrong It's also for your own good, why bother to hurt others, today is her birthday, too bad."

Jia Baoyu regretted seeing Shi Xiangyun crying, and was even more ashamed when he heard the words, but it was not easy to apologize in front of everyone, so he couldn't help but blush.

Jia Tanchun quickly smoothed things over and said, "Second elder brother can go first if he wants to watch a play, and tell the old ancestor by the way, we will go later."

Jia Baoyu took advantage of the momentum to get up and left in embarrassment. Fortunately, he didn't throw the jade this time.

Shi Xiangyun red-eyed and said wronged: "Second elder brother only knows how to hang out in the inner house all day long, wasting his time, people just reminded him, he said such heartless and hurtful words, and he didn't miss the good old days at all. It can be seen that once this person grows up, The affection gradually faded away, it's all my fault for talking too much, I'll just be a dumb person from now on."

Xue Baochai smiled and said: "It's very good, and you can still break up the relationship because of a stubborn remark. Brother Bao is probably talking too fast for a while. Don't worry too much. Today is your birthday. It's unlucky to cry and cry."

Shi Xiangyun sobbed and said: "I was an unlucky person. I killed my parents when I was born, and the fortune teller also said that I was a lone star..."

Xue Baochai quickly covered Shi Xiangyun's mouth and said, "What nonsense is said, it's just a trick of charlatans to deceive people, just believe it."

Jia Huan Anhan, in the original book, Shi Xiangyun did marry the short-lived ghost Wei Ruolan in the end. It is estimated that after Wei Ruolan died, her in-laws really regarded her as the lone star of the evil spirit who killed her parents and husband. He smiled and said: "Sister Bao is right, how can you believe the words of charlatans? I think sister Yun's three pavilions are well-proportioned, and the lower pavilion is full.

As soon as this remark came out, all the women looked at Jia Huan in surprise, Shi Xiangyun widened his bright eyes, and said curiously and shyly, "Huan'er, do you know how to read faces?"

Jia Huan laughed and said, "What's said in the book, I'm just following the scriptures. Besides, I'm not a charlatan."

Everyone couldn't help laughing, Lin Daiyu covered her mouth and said: "It's terrible, there is a Jia Banxian in our house, why don't Jia Banxian do the math for me too."

"Sister Lin came down to earth as a fairy, how can I, an ordinary person, be able to break the sky." Jia Huan said nonsense seriously.

Everyone laughed again, Lin Daiyu raised her round fan and knocked on Jia Huan: "Good for you, Huaner, after reading some miscellaneous books, you've learned how to speak glibly."

Lin Daiyu woke up to some of Jia Huan's descriptions in "Peach Blossom Fan", and immediately blushed even more, but after being teased by Jia Huan, Shi Xiangyun calmed down, and pouted: "Today I am the birthday star, Huaner you Why do you only flatter sister Lin and not me?"

Jia Tanchun laughed and said: "Huan'er has already flattered you just now, saying that sister Yun is the life of Wangfu Yizi, and that her fortune is prosperous. Have you forgotten?"

Shi Xiangyun covered his face and spat in embarrassment: "It's not flattery, it's obviously stupid."

Xue Baochai glanced at Jia Huan with a smile, changed the subject and said, "It doesn't matter if it's good or bad, Yun'er, you should hurry up and get credit from Brother Huan."

Jia Huan wondered, "What kind of merit do you get?"

Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "Last time, Yun'er was the first to match the palindromic couplets. Huan'er, do you think you should appreciate them?"

Jia Huan suddenly said: "This is where I came from. Tell me quickly and listen."

Jia Tanchun uttered the triple couplets of Shi Xiangyun, Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai, and they just made up a poem about the four seasons.

Jia Huan gave a thumbs up and said: "It's amazing, you really confronted each other, I deserve a reward!"

Shi Xiangyun proudly said: "What reward?"

Jia Huan asked Ping'er to fetch a box, handed it to Shi Xiangyun and said with a smile: "Today is Sister Yun's Fangchen, please accept Huan'er's little thought."

Shi Xiangyun chuckled, thanked him and took it, Lin Daiyu said, "Open it quickly and see what it is."

Shi Xiangyun was also generous, he directly opened the box and took out a golden unicorn from it, and there was a burst of exclamation all around.

Xue Baochai glanced at Jia Huan in surprise, she had heard before that Princess Beijing rewarded Jia Huan with a golden unicorn, probably the one in front of her, but she didn't expect this one to be given to Xiangyun. He was very generous, but why did he not give an inch when he sold the script to himself that day?Why is this unicorn worth hundreds of taels of silver?
Shi Xiangyun was surprised and delighted, but after playing with it for a while, he put the golden unicorn back into the box, handed it back to Jia Huan and said, "I appreciate Huan'er's kindness, but this thing is too precious, and it was a gift from Concubine Bei Jing. How can you bear it, Huaner, take it back quickly."

But Jia Huan stuffed the box into Shi Xiangyun's hand, and said, "Huan'er is just borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, so I can't bear it anyway. If Sister Yun doesn't accept it, Huan'er will not dare to associate with Sister Yun in the future."

Shi Xiangyun had no choice but to accept the words.
