The Red Chamber begins with a bastard

Chapter 99
The girl's appetite was small, Shi Xiangyun stopped eating after half a bowl of rice, and continued to watch Jia Huan eat with his chin, while Lin Daiyu was teasing a raccoon cat that Ping'er was feeding.

Shi Xiangyun waited until his neck grew, and finally when Jia Huan finished eating, he couldn't help complaining: "Huan'er, you can eat too much!"

Jia Huan said angrily: "Try to eat only steamed buns and rice cakes for two days and two nights, and I haven't eaten a grain of rice since last night, so I'm almost starving to paper."

Shi Xiangyun laughed and said: "This is too exaggerated, but the final exam is really hard. Thanks to my daughter's body, I don't have to suffer from the paperwork."

Lin Daiyu hugged the raccoon cat while stroking it, and joked: "Otherwise, why would you say that you can be a master only when you suffer through hardships. When his younger brother Huan won the toad palace, he knows that the hard work is worth it."

Lin Daiyu in the original book is also not very concerned about economic career. Others persuade Jia Baoyu to make progress, but she never speaks, so Jia Baoyu regards him as a confidant. I don’t know if it’s because of Jia Huan’s influence or other reasons, but it doesn’t contradict this aspect, and she is much more cheerful than the original book on the whole, and she doesn’t cry every now and then, so her body seems to be healthier, while in the original book she Almost never leave the mouth, it is a veritable medicine jar.

Jia Huan said with a smile: "It's still far away to win the laurel in the Toad Palace. You still have to suffer. By the way, as the saying goes, you can go to the Three Treasures Palace if you have nothing to do. The two sisters came together. I don't know what you can do?"

Lin Daiyu and Shi Xiangyun looked at each other and smiled, and said in unison: "What do you think?"

"I knew you were here to urge your life." Jia Huan muttered, taking out a few newly written "Peach Blossom Fan" from the drawer of the desk.

The two daughters of Lin Shi immediately beamed with joy. Now they are all obsessed with "Peach Blossom Fan" and are waiting for Jia Huan to update it every day. Unfortunately, Jia Huan is busy with exams recently, so they can only wait until Jia Huan finishes the exam. Try it, and then I can't wait to come to the door to urge the change.

Shi Xiangyun snatched the manuscript from Jia Huan's hand first, and said with a smile: "I heard from Sister Lin that you never do business at a loss, and I don't take advantage of you. Taking advantage of the free time these few days, I bought you a pair of insoles. You try it to see if it fits, if it doesn't fit, bring it back to me to modify."

Shi Xiangyun threw Jia Huan a pair of exquisitely crafted insoles, and then quickly slipped out with the manuscript. Lin Daiyu was both angry and funny: "Well, you are the first, I knew I wouldn't bring you."

After Lin Daiyu finished speaking, she wanted to chase her out, but she just walked two steps and suddenly said: "I almost forgot, this is Lian's second sister-in-law who asked me to hand it over to Huan'er." After speaking, he took out an invitation card and handed it to Jia. ring.

Jia Huan was stunned for a moment, Wang Xifeng actually sent an invitation card for herself, the sun is out in the west, right?One side subconsciously reached out to take it.

Lin Daiyu looked at Jia Huan meaningfully and said, "I've delivered the invitation, Huan'er, you can figure it out." Then she turned and walked out of the house.

Because of the Laiwang incident, everyone in the whole family knew that Jia Huan and Wang Xifeng were not going to deal with each other, and Lin Daiyu was no exception. Now that Wang Xifeng suddenly sent an invitation to Jia Huan, it seemed that he was taking the initiative to show his favor, so Lin Daiyu was also happy to see it succeed.

However, Jia Huan opened the invitation and was silent for a while, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, because the invitation was not signed by Wang Xifeng, but by Wang Ren, Wang Xifeng's elder brother. Obviously, Wang Xifeng also helped to hand it over.

"Why did Wang Ren suddenly invite me to the Zuixian Tower for a drink? Could it be a banquet at the Hongmen?" Jia Huan's heart sank slightly, and immediately thought that the news of the call from Wang Sap might have leaked.

Ping'er was very happy at first, because Wang Xifeng took the initiative to send an invitation to the third master, probably because she wanted to repair the relationship with the third master. This is a good thing, but when she saw Jia Huan's expression, she knew that There was another reason, and he asked anxiously: "Third Master, why did Second Grandma Lian post to you?"

Jia Huan had recovered his calm look at this time, shook his head and said: "It's not she who invited me, but his elder brother Wang Ren invited me to have a gathering at Zuixianlou at noon tomorrow."

Ping'er was taken aback, it turned out to be the uncle of the Wang family, this didn't look like he was repairing the relationship, but rather looking for his elder brother to help him out, could it be that Lian's second grandma still didn't give up and wanted to continue fighting with the third master?

"Third Master... why don't you go." Ping'er said worriedly, apparently also worried that this was a Hongmen banquet, Jia Huan might be beaten if he went.

It is said that Ping'er was a dowry from Wang's family to Jia's family, so he knew Wang Ren quite well.

But Jia Huan said indifferently: "Cousin sincerely invites you, of course you have to go, otherwise it would be too impolite."

"But……"

"Don't worry, I have my own measure!"

Jia Huan interrupted Ping'er resolutely. As the saying goes, if you can hide from the first day of junior high school, you can't hide from the fifteenth day. Why don't you just go to the appointment and see what this cheap cousin "Wangren" wants to do.In addition, Jia Huan also suspected that Tiehu's disappearance was related to Wang Ren, so he could take this opportunity to find out what Wang Ren said.

On the morning of the second day, Jia Huan took his servant Jin Shu to the main ice cream store first, and then called Tie Niu and Xu Shijie to the Zuixian Tower for a banquet.

Xu Shijie is the steward sent by the little fat man Xu Wei to participate in the operation of the ice cream shop. He thought that Jia Huan had invited someone to discuss business in Zuixianlou, so he asked himself to be with Tieniu as company, so he didn't think otherwise, and happily accompanied Jia Come with the ring.

Let's say Jia Huan and the others arrived at the Zuixian Tower, the waiter immediately came up to greet him and asked enthusiastically, "Are the guests eating in the lobby, or in the private seats on the second floor?"

Jia Huan waved his hand and said, "The private room on the third floor is reserved by Uncle Wang."

The child was stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled and said: "The young master is talking about the prince, please come with the young one."

Jia Huan took Tieniu and Xu Shijie up to the third floor, and when he came to the private room, he saw two sultry-faced guys standing in front of the room, and said indifferently: "Except for Third Master Huan of Rongguo Mansion, other people are not allowed to enter." !"

Xu Shijie frowned, it didn't look like he was talking about business, but rather looking for trouble.

Jia Huan remained calm, and said to the clerk, "Open a room next door so that I can entertain my people."

The guy was both surprised and happy, the one who was surprised was afraid of conflicts between the two sides, and the one who was happy was that he made another deal, he quickly nodded and bowed and said: "Okay, the two masters, please come with the younger one."

Jia Huan smiled and said: "Brother Tieniu, Manager Xu, wait for me next door."

Xu Shijie nodded, and followed the guy into the private room next door, but Tieniu asked a little worriedly: "Third Master, why don't I stay guard at the door, and you can call if you have something to do."

"That's not necessary!" Jia Huan shook his head. The reason why he brought Tieniu and Xu Shiyou was just in case, but he didn't believe that Wang Ren dared to be violent. It's decent, even if you want to do it, the other party will probably choose to sap halfway, there is no need to do it yourself.

Hearing this, Tieniu had no choice but to go to the private room next door, and the two flesh-faced guys looked at Jia Huan strangely, pushed open the door of the private room and said with a sneer: "Master Huan, go in, our prince is waiting for you."

Jia Huan stepped in calmly, only to find that the windows of the private room were closed, candles were lit, the light was dim, and a large basin of ice cubes was placed in the middle of the table to cool down the heat, and the mist rose and the air-conditioning was dense.

A young man about 25 or [-] years old was sitting opposite the door with a golden sword. He looked sullen. He was Wang Xifeng's elder brother Wang Ren. Behind him stood two thugs wearing only sleeveless gowns, showing their hideous arms. The tattoo has a sense of immediacy before negotiating with big bosses, and the invisible pressure hits the face.

Jia Huan stepped forward calmly and said, "What's the meaning of this, cousin?"

Wang Ren was very surprised. He thought that by putting on this posture, Jia Huan would be able to scare the little kid Jia Huan as soon as he entered the door. He didn't expect this kid to be so kind and calm, so he took the time to say: "Huan My brother is here, sit down!"

Jia Huan sat down opposite Wang Ren, smiled lightly and said, "Actually, if my cousin has something to say directly, or ask Lian's second sister-in-law to pass it on, there's no need to spend so much money."

As Jia Huan said, he poured himself a glass of wine and drank it calmly.

A strange color flashed in Wang Ren's eyes, and he suddenly laughed loudly and said, "Cousin Huan is really quick to talk, since that's the case, then I'll say it straight, the newly opened ice cream shops in the capital are all under your name, right? Brother, I am very interested, how about selling me the secret recipe for 200 taels of silver?"

Jia Huan couldn't help but suddenly realized that the love was not for Laiwang's business, but for his own ice cream shop, but for 200 taels of silver, he wanted to buy it with the secret recipe, so why didn't you grab it?
Seeing that Jia Huan was drinking with his head bowed and silent, Wang Ren was displeased and said, "How? 200 taels is a lot. I've inquired about it. Your bunks are all rented, and the only thing that's worth it is the secret recipe for making it. I also see it The price was only offered for the sake of relatives, if it was someone else, I would never want to pay 100 taels."

Jia Huan smiled and said: "Don't be afraid to tell your cousin that there are now seven ice cream shops under my name, and the daily net profit is more than 20 taels of silver. It is easy to earn 600 taels of silver a month." Loose, what is 200 taels of silver enough for? Are you kidding me?"

Not only did Wang Ren not feel ashamed when he heard the words, but his heart was even more moved. He just saw the recent boom in the ice cream business, which made him covet him. Even more jealous, he glanced at Jia Huan greedily, and said coldly: "Earn five or six hundred taels of silver a month? The cowhide will be blown to pieces by your brat, cut the nonsense, I can pay up to 600 taels of silver, and you'll sell it as well." You have to sell it, or you have to sell it if you don’t sell it!"
