In the courtyard where Jia's mother went to the house, it was already full of people at ten o'clock in the morning, and it was very lively. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Jia's mother wants to hold a cold party, a few tables for the ladies in the flower hall inside, a few tables for the children of Jiafu in the east wing outside, and a few tables for the housekeepers and housekeepers in the west wing.

When Baoyu arrived with Jin Chu'er and a few charming maids, the flower hall was already full of flowers, and the golden bells and jade pei sounded, and the laughter continued.

Jia's mother sat in the middle, and everyone talked around her. Wang Xifeng is the most active, with witty remarks. She has a sharp tongue, a pungent personality, and a quick mind. Jia's mother sometimes calls her a monkey. She is very favored in front of Jia's mother.

"Baoyu is here, come here." Mother Jia sat on a chair covered with a big white fox skin mattress, and she was so happy that she called Baoyu to her, half-hugged him, and asked the maid who followed Baoyu, "What time did Baoyu get up in the morning?" ”

Before Jin Chu'er could reply, Baoyu hurriedly explained with a smile: "Ancestor, I'll go outside to see my friends." It's late. ”

Baoyu is wearing an autumn-colored python white fox armpit arrow sleeve today, tied with a five-colored butterfly luan, and Baoyu is hanging around her neck. The face is like a spring flower, and the eyes are like paint. A very outstanding teenager.

Jia Mule laughed, "I said." Pointing to Daiyu beside him, he said with a smile: "If you want me to say, you two Yu'er are the most hateful." In the past, I often had to quarrel, and I felt uncomfortable. Fortunately, it's big now. No more noise. However, when I was free, I didn't want to come to see me. ”

All the ladies of Jiafu: Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, Aunt Xue, Wang Xifeng, You Shi, Li Kun and others all laughed. In the flower hall, the atmosphere is like a gentle breeze and drizzle, which is comfortable. Baoyu and Daiyu distinguished, coaxing Jia's mother to laugh.

Let's joke again, Lin Zhixiao's family came in. Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, and Wang Xifeng all listened.

Baoyu came to greet the sisters. His eyes fell on Daiyu first. Daiyu is wearing a pale cyan dress today, which adds to her super temperament in the light and elegant. There is poetry and writing in the belly. The charm of the beautiful girl flows.

The more Baoyu looks at it, the more she likes it, and everyone says that Baoqin's sister is good. Even the third sister said so. Sister Colin is the best. I just thought that I had a bad relationship with Sister Lin, and I was depressed. He asked hesitantly, "Sister Lin..., how are you doing recently?" ”

"Hmph." Daiyu snorted lightly, turned her head away, and ignored Baoyu. Baoyu still remembers the attack on people.

Baoyu's face was scornful, and then she greeted Baochai, "Sister Bao, it's rare to see you come to the garden recently." ”

Baochai is wearing a purple cardigan today, with a blue silk coiled up, and a golden hairpin to shake. Round face and almond eyes, dignified and elegant temperament. Ice skin and snow skin, body posture plump. The national color is beautiful. Yang Guifei in the Tang Dynasty was nothing more than that.

Baochai smiled generously and said, "Because there is something in the house, I go less." "Actually, it's not that Baochai is going less. Instead, Jia Baoyu was excluded from the gathering activities of the golden hairpins. Therefore, he saw Baochai very rarely.

Baoyu nodded. Baochai's temperament, he didn't dare to offend. Say hello to Xiangyun again. Xiangyun was dressed in a pink skirt with girlish pigtails. He is tall, with white skin and a lovely smile. Energetic.

Xiangyun laughed and said, "Brother Ai, you just saw me?" I have been staying in the house for several days, but I have not seen you. In the past, we were mixed in our team every day, but now it has changed? ”

Baoyu was in a slightly better mood, quietly glanced at Daiyu, and said half-answered, half-confessed: "How have you changed?" I will never change it for the rest of my life. I've been busy with Zen meditation at Kusuian recently. ”

Tanchun laughed when he said this, and persuaded: "Second brother, it's better if you change it." I heard from the third brother that Zhen Baoyu has changed. When he comes back to the house, you will see him. Let's talk about my feelings. ”

Speaking of Zhen Baoyu, who looks exactly the same as Jia Baoyu. Li Kun, Yingchun, Xichun, Baoqin, Xing Xiuyan, Li Wen, and Li Qi all laughed and talked.

For the sake of attacking people, the sisters and Baoyu have a lot of shares. Actually, everyone doesn't hate Baoyu. But looking at what he did, all the sisters had a point in their hearts. He laughed at everything, but he didn't dare to get too close to him.

Moreover, if it comes to reliable, proper, responsible and fair handling of things, Jia Huan is the first place in the house after all. Baoyu is far behind in this, not very reliable.

…

…

Lin Zhixiao's leader came in with a table and began to decorate. When everyone in the flower hall was talking and laughing, there was a boiling outside. Jade came in and said with a smile: "The third master is here." Everyone in the flower hall looked at the door.

After a while, I saw Jia Huan come in with two big girls, Qingwen and Ruyi. Jia Huan wore a Tang scarf on his head, a moon-white scribe's shirt, a jade pendant hanging from his waist, and a scribe's attire. At the age of fourteen, he is quite tall, with an ordinary appearance, a tall posture, and a calm demeanor. Anbu walked in, and he had a stunning demeanor.

In an instant, everyone's eyes in the flower hall fell on Jia Huan's body. Be the center of attention. It's a bit of a star appearance. And Jia Huan is in Jiafu, which does belong to the attention of first-line stars.

Jia Huan saluted Jia's mother and said, "My grandson has seen my grandmother." "He's still used to it. When you can, try not to kneel.

Although three months ago, in late August, Jia Huan wanted to punish Baoyu for attacking people and being beaten, Jia Mu and Jia Huan clashed. But by this time, nature has passed. Jia Mu stretched out her hand with a smile and said, "Okay, good." Get up. ”

The noble family is extremely sensitive to changes in power. Jia's mother is old and refined, how can she not feel the changes in Jiafu? After the Rongguo Mansion was taken away, there was a change. Since the beginning of November, the relatives who have come and gone with Jiafu have been warm and respectful to Jiafu.

Mother Jia wants to say in her heart that she likes Jia Huan very much, but now she is really satisfied with looking at Jia Huan. The fourteen-year-old Zhengwupin official is in charge of public opinion in the court. Such an achievement, who mentioned Jiafu and didn't praise Jia Huan?

As mentioned above, the rules of the officialdom of the Zhou Dynasty, except for the Hanlin Cichen and the Kedao Yanguan, are all ants below the seventh grade. It is the seventh product that is called the real entry into officialdom. The new branch of the sergeant is awarded the officer, and the lowest is the county order of the seventh grade. Therefore, the imperial examination is the road of Qingyun.

If an official achieves the five qualities, he is a middle-level cadre. The key departments of the six departments are all directly managed by Langzhong, who is in the fifth grade. Compared horizontally and modernly, Jia Huan is a bureau-level cadre. The functions and powers are: editor-in-chief of XX daily newspaper plus director of national news-publication-edition-general administration.

Of course, there is no television or radio in Da Zhou, otherwise he would be the director of the Radio, Television, and General Administration.

What kind of power and status is this? Therefore, Jia's mother's recent feelings are more straightforward: Jiafu is now proud of Jia Huan.

Jia Huan got up, turned around halfway, and saluted Mrs. Wang again, "My son has seen his mother. ”

Mrs. Wang was in her forties, still with a rigid dead face, wearing a pale yellow cardigan, with a deliberate smile on her face, and said, "Hmm." ”

In the turmoil in Jiafu in August, she failed to protect Baoyu. At this point, her mother-in-law status has completely lost its deterrent effect on Jia Huan. And when she thought that her mother's palace was sufficient, when her second brother returned to Beijing, she would clean up Jia Huan. But now, when his second brother returns to Beijing, he doesn't know that he will be in the Year of the Monkey.

Two days ago, she tentatively told Jia Huan about Wang Chenghei, and Jia Huan gave her face and agreed not to rectify Wang Chenghe. The relationship between the two has now eased. This made her quite dignified in front of her second sister-in-law (Mrs. He).

Jia Huan then greeted Aunt Xue, Mrs. Xing, Aunt Li and others. Jia Huan arranged a future for Xue Pan, and the more Aunt Xue looked at it, the more she liked it.

Aunt Li looked at the young man in front of her, and the people in the entire flower hall paid attention to his every move, and she was surprised and sighed. I heard that her sister-in-law once wrote to her father-in-law, picking Wen'er and Qi'er to be his concubines.

Jia Huan met with Li Kun, Wang Xifeng, You Shi, and Jia Rong's wife Hu again.

Although Li Kun was laughing, he had a somewhat distant attitude. Wang Xifeng was wearing an orange gown, holding a handkerchief, with a delicate black forehead on her forehead, phoenix eyes and red lips, and she looked more and more pink, charming, and beautiful young woman. As the saying goes, the powder face contains spring and does not show, and the Dan lips smell before laughing.

Wang Xifengjiao smiled and said: "Oh, Brother Huan, when we come back from this dynasty, we can't compare the etiquette." Let's sit down and talk about it first. ”

Jia Huan smiled and glanced at the pink and beautiful young woman Sister Wang Feng, and nodded, "It's okay." "Wang Ren came to Jiafu to make trouble, Wang Xifeng may not be unaware. A few days ago, I heard that Sister Feng complained about him behind his back. However, now, she doesn't dare to be a demon.

Wang Xifeng showed Jia Huan a little weak-hearted, his face was not revealed, and he ordered the servants and maids to come in and set up their seats.

…

…

Because it is necessary to decorate the flower hall and prepare a wine banquet. And the maids withdrew. The girls all got up and stood in the open space on the left. Jia Huan smiled and nodded and spoke with hairpin, dai, cloud, tan, ying, pity, qin, smoke, tattoo, and qi.

Looking at Xiangyun, who was excitedly talking to Daiyu and Baoqin about the wine order, Jia Huan smiled and spoke softly to Baochai beside him, "Sister, what time did you come over?" ”

From the side, Sister Bao's facial features are exquisite, and her white and greasy face is as shiny as jade. Like a goddess. It's hard to say.

Baochai's eyes flashed, and he chuckled: "It's not early." I came over with Sister Yun, Sister Qin, Second Sister, and Sister Xing. You are cold when you come back from the court, I ask Ying'er to keep the ginseng soup. "This is very different from when talking to Baoyu. Gentle and soft, amorous and gratuitous.

Tanchun smiled: "There is ginseng soup, and you can't eat it this time." ”

Yingchun said softly: "Just have a glass of wine." Oops, the cloud girl is too noisy. Fortunately, Sister Xing is not like her. ”

Xiangyun turned his head and said, "I seem to hear the second sister say my name." ”

All the women laughed.

Jia Huan also smiled, looked at Daiyu's bright eyes, and nodded gently. Daiyu smiled, her eyes were shining, like a hibiscus blooming. The charm and elegance are like the ink beauties that came out of the Yanyu Jiangnan. Peerless.

Laughing, the tables and chairs on the right were set up, and everyone turned to the right. Baoyu, who was sitting next to Jia's mother, looked at the sisters who were laughing, eager to try, and looked enviously at Jia Huan, who was surrounded by the crowd. Then he lowered his head in frustration.

With his cleverness, he can see that the sisters in the house are close to Jia Huan. It's not the same as when you laugh with him.

Oh my God, what do you want me to do?

…

…

Today's banquet on the winter solstice in Jiafu uses a separate table system. Lay out the table on three sides, and then put it together, and everyone has a position. In front of him are verdant melons, fruits, vegetables and vegetables. Then there are Jiangnan dishes, each with a few plates. Barbecued venison, lamb, beef. As the saying goes: cooking in the south and burning in the north, mixed with the former aging, the fragrance is overflowing.

Mother Jia asked Aunt Xue and Aunt Li to be the heads, and then Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang. Baoqin, Xiangyun, Daiyu, and Baoyu were lined up. Further down are: You Shi, Li Kun, Sister Feng, Hu Shi. On the opposite side are Baochai, Li Wen, Li Qi, Xiuyan, and Yingchun sisters.

Jia Huan was going to go to the east wing to have a drink with the children of Jiafu in a while, and at this time, in the middle, he toasted Jia's mother with a wine glass, and said, "Today is the Winter Solstice Festival, and the old lady is happy." Everyone got together and laughed. The grandson toasted his grandmother, wishing his grandmother a long life and the prosperity of Jiafu. ”

Jia's mother is nearly eighty years old. Next year will be 80 years old. Jia Fu wants to make a birthday banquet for her. An old lady who is a little chubby and very rich. At this time, he smiled happily and picked up the wine glass to eat a glass, turned his head to the mandarin duck next to him and said, "Mandarin duck, go and pour wine for Brother Huan'er." ”

"Huh." The mandarin duck responded crisply, carrying the silver kettle, coming out of the table behind Jia's mother, and walking to Jia Huan's side, "Third master..., I'll pour you wine." ”

The mandarin duck is wearing a pale cyan cardigan today, with a slender waist and a tall figure. The goose egg with a few freckles has a slight red on her face. Her skin was very white, and her lips and teeth were becoming more and more red. A twenty-year-old girl is inferior to the appearance and temperament of the twelve hairpins, but she also has a different kind of beauty and charm.

The faint scent of virginity hits. Chunshan is ashamed, and it is difficult to complain lightly in front of people. Jia Huan smiled and nodded to the mandarin duck, lowered the wine glass, and let the mandarin duck pour the wine.

Mandarin Duck's closeness to him is mostly due to his gratitude for his expression and support when Jia Yu wanted to marry her. Of course, her expression at this time is very moving.

Jia Huan toasted Mrs. Wang and the others again. Only then did he say goodbye to Jia's mother, and the atmosphere in the flower hall reached a high tide.

…

…

Jia Huan came out of the main hall to toast and went to the east wing. Jia Lian, Jia Cong, Jia Rong, Jia Qiang, Jia Yun, Jia Ling, and Jia Yan sat down in front of Jia Huan, chatting and eating. Gossip from all over the world. Jia Huan listened to their nonsense, and his attitude was relaxed.

Talking about the anecdotes in Beijing, including the tragic situation in Prince Shun's mansion, Jia Lian smiled and said: "I understand Brother Huan's words today: some things do not look at the results, but look at the reasons. I have this good relationship with my second sister. One Xie Rong brother, one Xie Huan brother. ”

The matter of stealing the marriage was ended by the Shuntian Mansion with a fine. Second Sister You is pregnant again. Jia Lian has been in a good mood lately.

A group of people laughed, "That's it, let's eat three cups first." Toast Uncle Huan and Brother Rong again. ”

Jia Lian really ate three cups first. Just as he was talking and laughing, Xing'er came in and said, "Second Master, Second Master Liu is here." Say you have something to say. ”

"What's his business?" Jia Lian was stunned for a moment and confessed: "My prospective brother-in-law is here, I'll go first." ”

The crowd was unimpressed. Jia Lian went for half an hour, and Jia Lian asked the little guy to come in and invite Jia Huan and Jia Rong.

Jia Huan was slightly surprised, and when he went to the small hall in the front yard, he saw Jia Lian and Liu Xianglian each with cold faces and stalemate.

Liu Xianglian was originally a child of a family. His parents died early, and he couldn't study, but he was very good at playing guns and swords, gambling and drinking, and even sleeping in flowers and willows, playing the flute and playing the kite, and doing everything. Plain and cool, not informal. has a handsome appearance, likes to play dramas, pretends to be a woman, and is good at acting in Shengdan Fengyue opera.

Liu Xianglian saw Jia Huan come in, bowed her hand, and said, "Third Master Huan, you say something fair." I went to walk around my aunt's place the day before yesterday, and I learned that my aunt had already set me up for marriage. If you are the second brother of Conglian, you will carry your aunt. I also hope to break the marriage contract and give back the sword left by my grandfather. ”

Jia Lian was very dissatisfied and said: "How can there be a marriage, going in and out at will?" It also needs to be considered. "He has been suffering for the third sister for a long time. Third Sister You specified that she wanted to marry this Leng Erlang. Moreover, being dismissed from the marriage at will, what kind of face does he have?

Jia Huan had met Liu Xianglian a few times, and there was no deep talk. glanced at Liu Xianglian with a smile and said, "My aunt is an elder. Since this is the case, then the decision is withdrawn. ”

Liu Xianglian was stunned for a moment, although he thought that Jia Huan was acting decently. But I didn't expect Jia Huan to agree so refreshedly. Then he was overjoyed, and a stone fell to the ground in his heart. He didn't want to be the Green King Eight.

"Brother Huan, this..."Jia Lian was about to say more, Jia Huan waved his hand, "That's it." Second Brother Lian will accompany him for a walk. ”

Liu Xianglian's family heirloom male and female mandarin duck sword, the female sword is in the hands of Third Sister You.

Jia Lian couldn't, stumbled, sighed, and took Liu Xianglian to the west of the city in a sedan chair depressed. The two went out, and Jia Rong said in surprise: "Uncle Huan, you..."

Jia Huan patted Jia Rong on the shoulder and said, "You go and ask the imperial doctor to follow along." I'll be there in a moment. ”
