Chapter XXXVII
Ruyi's hunch is not wrong at all. About 3 hours after Jia's mother's punishment came down, Jin Chu'er and Caixia brought Mrs. Wang's "penalty notice".
Jin Chu'er was a big-faced maid, and said with a smile: "Third master, you are going to be miserable!" The wife instructed, "Don't go to the street again in the future, and study hard." also asked me to inform Zhou Rui to mention your long-term follower Qian Huai, and he was not allowed to follow you to the outside of the house. ”
Zhou Rui and his wife are Mrs. Wang's companions and confidants. When Grandma Liu entered Jiafu, she took the door of Zhou Rui's house.
Kim Chu'er is not gloating. In her eyes, being confined in the mansion is actually not a big punishment, after all, you can still move around in the mansion. Isn't that how she lives every day? If it's confined to the house, it's called a nest fire.
A few afternoons ago, she witnessed the confrontation between Jia Huan and Mandarin Duck, the second grandmother, and the master, and admired Jia Huan very much. Of course, admiration is admiration, her ambition is still to be the aunt of Bao Erye.
The matter of the manuscript of "Ying Ning" will have a great impact on the attack. Second Master Bao hasn't reacted yet. As a bystander, she can see clearly. She has a slightly "competitive" relationship with the attacker, so she is a little close to Jia Huan in her heart.
Therefore, she asked Caixia to come to Jia Huan's residence to pass on his wife's words. She understands her sister's thoughts.
Jia Huan bared his teeth slightly. Your sister's!
Mrs. Wang's words are very beautiful, but the means are very sharp. This is actually to imprison him in Jiafu!
This will cause all his current money-making plans, various backup plans to run aground.
It's terrible.
Caixia saw a sad look on Jia Huan's face, she was very worried, and she stopped talking. Jin Chu'er, Qingwen, and Ruyi are all there, but she is embarrassed to say things that she cares too much about.
Jin Chu'er looked at Caixia and smiled. However, she could also see that Jia Huan seemed to be in a bad mood when she heard the news, so she restrained her smile.
Jia Huan sighed softly, Mrs. Wang is really not a fuel-efficient lamp, silent, and her heart is very dark. Rubbing his eyebrows, he said to Jin Chu'er: "You go back to your wife, I know." "Mrs. Wang's mother in etiquette, he naturally can't say bad things about her on the surface.
Jin Chu'er nodded, nudged Caixia, and said, "Third master, Caixia has something to say to you." ”
"Eh..."Caixia whispered softly and coquettishly at Jin Chu'er, her face was flushed, and she looked shy and charming. Jin Chu'er giggled and ducked out.
Qingwen and Ruyi didn't know Jia Huan's plan, thinking that he was just confined to the center of Jiafu and depressed, and they didn't feel Jia Huan's sorrow deeply. At this time, I heard Jin Chu'er prompt Caixia to whisper to Jia Huan. Qingwen covered her mouth and smiled, her eyes fluttering. She regards Jia Huan as a friend.
Ruyi pursed her lips, very dissatisfied. She wants to be an aunt to the third master! But Caixia is more beautiful than her: goose egg face, clear eyebrows, white skin, and a better figure than her.
A few little girls, Jia Huan shook her head when she saw it, the girl didn't know what it was like to be sad! It's just that the gloomy mood in my heart is slightly better.
Jin Chu'er left, and Qingwen and Ruyi also left. Lower the curtain. Caixia's face was flushed, like an apple. But after all, he was reluctant to leave. I haven't seen Jia Huan to play with her for several days.
Jin Chu'er laughed at her on the way here, and the third master has an uncertain future now. But she thought about the sweetness of Jia Huan dissolving a spoonful of jade flower dew for her. The sweet taste made her feel willing even if the days were bitter in the future.
Caixia comforted in a soft voice: "Third master, don't worry too much, I feel uncomfortable looking at it." Mrs. said that she detained you in the house to study. Wait a few months, and you'll be able to go out of the house to play. ”
Jia Huan shook his head, "How can it be so easy!" Caixia is talking about the general situation. Mrs. Wang's ban he expects will last for at least a year. This is still under the condition that he does not make any more noise. Mrs. Wang can also bring him back at any time to continue his detention.
How could he willingly leave his freedom to the mood of "others"!
"Yes." Caixia definitely encouraged.
Jia Huan smiled reluctantly, "Maybe." Don't talk about this. Caixia, I was able to get out of trouble a few days ago, thank you for the reminder. I said I would go to the street tomorrow to find you some novelties. I didn't expect to detain my wife in the house. Last time I saw that you had a sweet tooth. This half bottle of jade flower dew will be given to you first, and I will be my thanks. ”
He really wants to thank Caixia well. Without her reminder, he would not have been able to change the font in the "Ying Ning" article he wrote to Shi Xiangyun. Then he will end very badly.
"Thank you for this!" Caixia said softly in her heart, took Jia Huan and turned out the jade dew from the cabinet, and put it away very solemnly.
Looking at the sweet and charming smile on her white face, Jia Huan smiled and advised, "Finish eating early." Don't spoil it like a baby. I'm only 8 years old, don't think too much about it. ”
Caixia lowered her head shyly and said honestly, "Oh." Her expression was undoubtedly telling Jia Huan that she was just thinking too much. In fact, Baoyu is only 9 years old. Isn't he still on good terms with Jin Chu'er?
Jia Huan smiled and shook his head, but his mood was a little heavy. Not to mention that Caixia is only 12 years old, he himself is very young, even if it is suitable, but where is he in the mood to "flirt with girls" now?
Mrs. Wang put a lot of pressure on him!
If he can't leave the house, his money-making plan will definitely die. Qian Huai, Zhao Guoji, and Hu Xiaosi under his hands, even if they were taught by him, could not complete the business plan he formulated.
So, what should he do now?
…
…
After Jin Chu'er and Caixia left, Qingwen and Ruyi came in, and Jia Huan was standing by the window in contemplation.
Qingwen chuckled: "Third master, you won't really get along with Caixia in your wife's house, right?" ”
Jia Huan waved his hand lightly and said, "Qingwen, where is the time to talk about the wind and snow now?" ”
Qingwen just laughed. She didn't mind much. But Ruyi stood on tiptoe and said, "Third master, if I am a few years older, I will definitely be more beautiful than Caixia." ”
Caixia's appearance is inferior to Qingwen, and she is more beautiful than Qingxiu's Ruyi.
Jia Huan couldn't help laughing. I have to admit that when he is depressed, it is really nice to have two little girls who can talk to him.
"You little prodigal hoof is not ashamed." Qingwen teased Ruyi, went out and brought in a chilled watermelon, and the three of them sat in the bedroom eating fruit to cool off and chatting.
Jia Huan sat on the couch chair and asked, "Qingwen, Ruyi, hypothetically, I mean hypothetical, if I leave Jiafu one day, would you two like to follow me?" ”
Ruyi bit the watermelon pulp and said as a matter of course: "Third master, I am your maid, I will go wherever you go." ”
Ruyi was a little confused, and she didn't understand Jia Huan's subtext at all. Qingwen understood. Think about it, it's actually just a trivial matter in an article, disgusted and punished by the old lady and wife, it's strange that a talented and capable person like the third master doesn't have the idea of leaving.
If she were a capable man, she wouldn't want to nest here: watching Baoyu being favored, a bunch of people's partiality.
Qingwen pursed her lips and smiled, delicate and colorful, and said softly: "Third master, my deed of sale is with the old lady." I'd love to go with you. ”
Jia Huan laughed. This is also a problem. With his current bad relationship with Jia's mother, can he get Qingwen's deed of sale out to have a ghost? However, there are still a few years before he leaves Jiafu, and he can plan slowly.
After talking to Qingwen and Ruyi, he sent the two of them to rest first. In the middle of the night, Jia Huan sat alone at his desk and pondered.
Sadness, depression, coldness, and loneliness fell on his desk with the bright moon.
This narrow world!
…
…
If you want to ask Jia Huan if he regrets "spraying" in the side hall a few days ago, thus offending the people in power in Jiafu and falling into the end of being restricted in freedom, his answer is no.
He doesn't regret it!
Judging from the punishment simply: successively offended Wang Xifeng, Mrs. Wang, and Jia's mother, was trapped in Jia's mansion and cut off their economic resources, and the "detachment plan" was suspended, which is obviously much more serious than being beaten by Jia Zheng.
Give Jia Zheng a beating, and he will recover in a few months at most. It's just a meal of flesh and skin.
However, it is a big mistake to think so!
Because, this is not only the pain of flesh and skin, Wang Xifeng also buttoned him a hat to write "Little Yellow Text". If this hat is worn, his reputation will be notorious.
It is equivalent to trampling Wang Xifeng in the mud, stepping on a few feet, and there is no chance to turn over. If the matter is confirmed, will Wang Xifeng spread the news everywhere?
In a society like the ancient world of fame, the role of fame cannot be overemphasized. For example, even if he is trapped in this square now, his reputation is there, and there is still the possibility of a comeback.
And if he wears the hat buttoned by Wang Xifeng, even if he has a plan to leave Jiafu to change his identity, but in three or five years, he will wear this hat, but he is afraid that he will not find a suitable person to use for him, and he may not be able to save enough money to leave Jiafu.
That's why he has to resist fiercely! So, he doesn't regret it!
Jia Huan's dilemma is that his money-making plan has been forced to stop, and he is now looking for a new opportunity to break the deadlock, whether he will wait for Mrs. Wang's ban to expire before restarting the plan.
Both options have difficulties.
First, even if the ban expires, what should Mrs. Wang do if she can detain him in the mansion with any excuse when she goes back? He couldn't hope that Madame Wang's mood would be good or bad.
If he is asked to kowtow to Mrs. Wang every day, pretend to be a filial son, and brush up on his good feelings, this way is still forgotten.
The door of entry and exit is locked,
The hole for the dog to crawl out is open.
He had a deep desire to be free,
But how can a human body crawl out of a dog's hole!
Second, break the deadlock. How to break the ice? Could it be that he studied hard for a few years, after the exam? At that time, I was afraid that the daylilies were cold.
This night, Jia Huan tossed and turned, and had no intention of sleeping.
…
…
On June 13, classes resumed after a one-day break in the study.
In the afternoon, it suddenly rained heavily. Dark clouds overhead, lightning and thunder. Bursts of summer thunder exploded in the sky, making an explosive muffled sound, deafening, and unscrupulous.
"Bang Bang!" Rapid raindrops fell on the windowsill like the dense beats of war drums.
"Whoa!" The wind and rain slammed on the walls and eaves, making a fierce sound.
Seeing this situation, Lin Juren sighed lightly, "That's it, this rain won't stop for a while and a half." That's all for today's lesson. Jia Huan stayed for a while. I'm going to test your homework. ”
Jia Cong and Jia Lan looked at Jia Huan enviously, this is the treatment of top students. Jia Cong was still thinking about whether to tell the third brother about what his father was concerned about a few days ago, but after thinking about it, he didn't know how to say it.
After Jia Cong and Jia Lan saluted Lin Juren, they packed up their bookware and left with their entourage in the torrential rain.
Jia Huan was a little confused, so he said apologetically: "Sir, the student has been doing it for a few days..."
Lin Juren waved his hand, walked down from the podium, and said, "I know you've encountered some problems recently. Let's talk. ”
