Chapter 14: Aftermath and Effects
After dealing with Mama Zhang, Jia Huan felt very comfortable. Next, he waited for this matter to ferment, and then had a follow-up good impact on him.
Because of today's rest in the study, Jia Huan did not go out all day, but revised "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" at home.
Since the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was written by Luo Guanzhong during the Ming Dynasty, there have been many versions in society. There are Jiajing publications, Yibaitang publications, "Fujian books", and Li Zhuowu books (Ming Dynasty thinkers and writers Li Zhen).
His highest achievement in Chinese studies and the most widespread circulation is the Mao version of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms compiled by Mao Lun and Mao Zonggang father and son during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty based on Li Zhuowu's commentary. That is, the version we see in the Xinhua bookstore.
Jia Huan didn't know such a context. The Ming Jiajing edition he bought from the Four Seasons Fangrenhe bookstore was different from what he had read in modern times, and he realized that there was a problem, so he planned to revise the book to make it more "cool", and then find a channel to sell it.
As a person who loves literature and history books, he naturally read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" countless times. Not to mention memorizing backwards, the general order of the chapters is memorized. Revisions are handy. Jia Huan's current revision work is two-thirds complete.
In the morning, when Jia Huan was revising the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in his bedroom and study, Qingwen came to him from time to time to shake it, looking embarrassed and wanting to admit her mistakes. She was angry with Jia Huan for a whole month. That embarrassed to wipe his face all at once.
Jia Huan naturally didn't bother with the little girl, so he put down the brush funny and called, "Qingwen, help me pour a bowl of tea." ”
He knows how to break the deadlock amicably.
"Huh." Qingwen responded happily, wearing a green dress, with a beautiful smile on her delicate little face, if she was a few years older, she would be really charming and charming.
Qingwen poured tea for Jia Huan, watched Jia Huan write at the desk, and saw that he still had some wet long hair, so she recommended herself: "Third master, I'll help you comb your hair!" ”
The morning sun was shining through the window. The scent of gardenias wafted in from the yard was refreshing.
"Okay." Jia Huan took a sip of the blue and white porcelain tea bowl and said with a smile: "Qingwen, my treatment is back." ”
Qingwen smiled shyly, turned around and got a wooden comb to comb Jia Huan's long hair, "Who asked you to let me let Mama Zhang's old goods indiscriminately!" I've scolded her so badly this month. Third master, why did you endure to teach her a lesson until now? ”
Qingwen is very smart, and when she saw the process of Jia Huan's punishment of Mama Zhang, she knew that Jia Huan actually hated Mama Zhang very much, not necessarily just because Mama Zhang instigated Aunt Zhao to make trouble. That's more like an excuse, an introduction.
Jia Huan smiled, "I'm going to wait for the right opportunity before I make a move." ”
With his current living situation in Jiafu, the cost of fault tolerance is too high. You have to wait until the right opportunity to make a move.
Qingwen combed Jia Huan's hair to the back of her head, her fingers inadvertently touched his ears, tickled, and said with a smile: "Third master, I can't bear it." I thought you were angry and angry with me. ”
Jia Huan thought it was funny when Qingwen straightened her waist and scolded people with her eyes up. It's not that her eyes are poised up. It's just that her eyes are relatively large, and when she stares at people angrily, her eyes seem to be a little deformed.
Jia Huan quipped: "How dare I be angry with you? You give me a look every day. Qingwen, your personality needs to be changed! ”
Qingwen giggled, and quickly helped Jia Huan tie her hair, "I can't change it." If you don't like it, send me back to the old lady's house. ”
Jia Huan smiled lightly, did not speak, and enjoyed Qingwen's service of combing her hair.
Qingwen has a fiery and strong personality, and will not bend to flatter people. When I was reading the Red Mansion, I felt that this was the most rebellious girl in the Grand View Garden. It's like a crystal clear and flattering.
At best, it is called innocent, sincere and straightforward. On the worst side, it is called arrogant, snarky, and empty-eyed.
She really didn't fight to be a slave, and she didn't think of herself as a slave. That's why the verdict has "the heart is higher than the sky", so this character will be "merry and dexterous and resentful". That's why she is valuable in spiritual character.
Of course, her personality has to do with her experiences. When Qingwen was ten years old, she was bought as a maid by Lai's family, and often followed Lai's mother into the house, and later gave filial piety to Jia's mother. She is not a "slave" character who has been trained since she was a child.
Secondly, her appearance and needlework are better than people. Wang Xifeng said: "If you talk about these girls, compared to the total, they are not as good as Qingwen. Mrs. Wang said: "People who have the ability are inevitably a little crooked...... He is better than men. ”
It can be seen that Qingwen's arrogance is indeed very capitalous. Girl, in comparison, isn't it just the same as appearance and needlework at hand.
There can't be a Lingxiu girl like Xiangling who can learn poetry and write poetry, and "the essence wants to cover up the difficulty", and then there will be a Qingwen, right?
Jia Huan said that he wanted Qingwen to change her personality, but in fact, he was just talking. How can a person's personality be changed? Be friends with Qingwen, if you respect her, she will naturally respect you. This is a very dexterous and cute girl.
If Qingwen is willing, when he leaves Jiafu in the future, he will take her with him.
Jia Mu, Wang Xifeng, and Mandarin Duck regarded everything in this Jia Mansion as a treasure and wanted to leave it to Baoyu, but in his opinion, it was actually just a rotten and rotten cage.
…
…
Jiahuan's nurse Mama Zhang carried water to Jiahuan's house in Jia's house early in the morning, and this scene was seen by the little maids, and the matter spread quickly. Immediately, the reason why Mama Zhang was punished by Jia Huan also came out.
Not surprisingly, there are very few people who sympathize with Mama Zhang and are willing to say it for her. No matter how big the "reason" is, it can't be more than "filial piety".
What is the reaction of the people in power in Jiafu, Jia Huan does not know for the time being. The most direct reaction was that when Qingwen went to the small kitchen to get food again, she was treated differently. Jia Huan's food treatment returned to the level he had previously achieved after writing poems at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet. Add a few pennies to Aunt Liu, who is in charge of the kitchen, and you can also eat egg custard.
That's the effect he wants.
That evening, Qingwen took the food box from the small kitchen in Jiafu. A mother-in-law who lit the fire in the small kitchen said: "Aunt Liu, today I divided the third master with half a chicken!" ”
Aunt Liu is a woman in her fifties, with a round face, white and chubby, wearing a blue flower apron, and said: "That young master can even fix his nurse, why should I touch his moldy head." Didn't you hear Sister-in-law Zhang crying, she said that the young master said that if she recidived, she would have no one to support her in the end. ”
"Ahem!" The mother-in-law who lit the fire was startled.
While shabu-shabu and washing dishes, Aunt Liu said, "Today, the food in Miss Lin's room is less, so I will leave some for that young master." Hey, he'll still give a few pennies anyway, unlike those deputy girls who just come to get it. Don't say it, Miss Lin's mouth is very powerful. ”
The woman who burned the fire nodded, "That's okay." ”
…
…
On April 13, three or four days had passed since Mama Zhang began to fetch water for Jia Huan's house. Night slowly fell, shrouding Jiafu in the night.
In Li Kun's courtyard, Jia Lan had just had dinner and was preparing to read university chapters under the guidance of his mother.
Under the bright palace lamp, Li Kun flipped through the notes written by Jia Lan, frowning slightly, and the notes showed that Jia Lan's understanding of "university" was quite superficial.
Jia Lan took the mouthwash tea handed by the maid Biyue and spit it in the spittoon. Su Yun on the side took the little maids to clean up the table after the meal.
"Mother, I heard that the third uncle found someone to beat his nurse's son. That's amazing. Jalan said. Xiao Zhengtai is very envious that Jia Huan can play everywhere, and he is also very envious that he can command people to fight.
Kids!
Li Kun said sternly: "Lan'er, you are not allowed to learn from him, you know?" Stir up trouble. ”
Jia Lan nodded, and said, "Mother, but I heard Guishu say that the third uncle is in charge..."
"What does he know?" Li Kun interrupted his son's words unhappily, threw the notes in his hand on the table, and said angrily: "Your third uncle is making trouble like that, it won't be good." You have to study hard and get ahead in the future..., you know? ”
Li Kun didn't want Jia Lan to be naughty. There are many widows at present. If Jia Lan is naughty and troublesome, she can't stand it. However, she had to admit that Jia Huan had knocked a hole in the situation that was not favorable to him.
If the snobs of Jiafu want to step on Jia Huan to please their master, they have to think about whether they can go home well after leaving the mansion, and they also have to think about the future generations.
"Oh," Jalan lowered her head timidly.
…
…
Jia's mother went to the room and visited the spring room.
Jia Tanchun flipped through the book, looking at the night in the treetops outside the window, and the moon was bright. She also heard about Jia Huan's "punishment" of his nurse today, and thought to herself: "He is too reckless." Although it is reasonable, hasn't it also become a 'wicked person' in the wind commentary? What do you think of the old lady and the wife? ”
If it were her, she wouldn't have done it. Instead, he used his means to slowly subdue her nurse.
…
…
The night is deep. Jia Huan hurriedly came back from outside Jia's mansion. Qingwen and Ruyi were doing needlework in his bedroom, talking happily.
Mama Zhang rectified Jia Huan, and now Jia Huan is the two of them the biggest in the room, plus Jia Huan is easy-going, and her life is very comfortable. The fly in the ointment is that the monthly money is not paid in full and in a timely manner.
Seeing Jia Huan coming in, Ruyi got up to greet Jia Huan and thoughtfully helped him with his schoolbag. She was petite, wearing a water-green skirt, delicate as a small flower, and said with a smile: "Third master, you are late to come back today!" ”
Jia Huan smiled, "I went to Lao Hutou's house and paid a deposit for 5 small stoves, a total of one penny." So came back late. ”
This is the hand tail of dealing with Mama Zhang's incident. Those 5 small stoves are not only the reward for him to ask the old beard father and son to do it, but also the tools for his next money-making plan.
Qingwen smiled and said, "I didn't complain." With that, he went outside and brought in the steamed meal on the small stove. She has been taking care of Jia Huan with all her heart and soul recently, and her attitude is much more tolerant. Some time ago, Jia Huan came back late, she definitely had to roll her eyes, and complained to Ruyi in private: The third master is greedy for fun.
Ruyi giggled, her voice was crisp, and she went to the side hall and took two poke lamps to light up the bedroom. Nowadays, unlike in the past, candles and lamp oil in the house have to be spared.
Qingwen set the meal on the table. She and Ruyi didn't eat either, so they ate some dried fruits and waited for Jia Huan to come back.
To lead the team, of course, you must have the ability to protect the "little brothers". Jia Huan did this, and the team naturally united and respected him.
Jia Huan ate the delicious and delicate chicken slowly, looked at the two little girls laughing beside him, under the shadow of the lamp, Yan Yan smiled, and smiled in a good mood.
The benefits of punishing Mama Zhang are slowly showing. The resumption of food treatment is one of them. Of course, the two little girls and his closeness also count.
Next, he's going to start his money-making plan.
