At the beginning of October of the lunar calendar, it is already the beginning of winter. A light rain fell on the magnificent garden courtyard, bringing a slight chill.

Wang Xifeng was deprived of the right to manage the monthly money, but she was still the grandmother in charge of Jiafu, and she was in power. Jia has not changed much recently. Many maids and mothers-in-law are looking forward to the monthly money on October 20th.

Raindrops fall on the bluestone steps by the eaves. Lin Zhixiao, the housekeeper of the Rongguo Mansion, who was dressed in a simple blue silk shirt, took the two little maids to the East Cross Courtyard to ask to see Mrs. Wang.

Jin Chu'er gave a message, then retreated, and talked to Caixia, Caiyun, and Yu Chu'er in the warm pavilion in the side hall. In Mrs. Wang's room, Mrs. Wang, Zhou Rui's family, and Lin Zhixiao's family were left.

"Madam, I have verified that there is no shortfall in the treasury. My wife: Do you want to make up for the short amount of money in each room last month? ”

Mrs. Wang drank tea with an indispensable expression. I know in my heart: Wang Xifeng has already made up for the part of the embezzled money. But at the same time, Sister Feng also lied to her, and even said that it was discussed by the outsiders: the girls of each aunt will be halved. (See the third chapter of the original book for details)

Lin Zhixiao's family respectfully and patiently waited for Mrs. Wang's instructions.

After a while, Mrs. Wang said lightly: "No need." This month's monthly money will be paid in full in a name. ”

"Yes, ma'am."

After Lin Zhixiao's family left, Mrs. Wang asked Zhou Rui's family next to her, "Can you find out?" ”

Zhou Rui's family is still sighing in his heart: Lin Zhixiao's family is a complaint, right? She's still the goddaughter of the second grandmother! In these years, people's hearts... Suddenly, when she heard Mrs. Wang ask, she smiled and said, "I understand." Brother Huan told a story about shooting eagles in his house, and many little maids went to listen to it, and some mothers-in-law also went. I don't know how, the rumors spread. ”

Mrs. Wang nodded and ordered, "Go and pass a message to Brother Huan'er, and let him go here after school." ”

Zhou Rui's family agreed, and went out to arrange for someone to notify Jia Huan. Today is the third day of October, and Jia Huan is still going to school in the study. I heard that he has been studying hard in the study at noon recently. This guy is a great guy.

…

…

Jia Huan came out of school at about 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and distributed the sweets and snacks bought by Qian Huai to Jia Cong and Jia Lan at the door of the courtyard of the study. Jia Lan was worried about going back to her mother to ask, only eating and not taking, he usually can eat, he is not greedy, he eats slowly like a little adult. However, Jia Cong, as Jia Yu's concubine, is difficult to eat.

"Brother Huan, Second Brother Lian will be back in two days." Jia Cong ate sweets and took the initiative to break the news to Jia Huan.

Jia Huan thought that "Third Brother" was not good, and it was easy for him to think of Indian Ah San, so he had already asked Jia Cong to change his words. smiled and gave Jia Cong the sweets left in the oiled paper bag in his hand, "Brother Cong, you usually play with yours, don't think about this." ”

He is only 8 years old, how old is Jia Cong? He didn't want his brother, who was really close to him, to get involved in those intrigues.

Jia Cong let out an "oh".

After a conversation, the three of them separated at the door, and Jia Huan and Jia Lan entered the second gate together.

Jia Lan combed her hair in a bun and wore a dark blue brocade dress, a very pink little Zhengtai. Looking back at the long follower who didn't follow, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief and said admiringly: "Third uncle, your story of shooting the eagle is really exciting." After listening to Sister Suyun's speech, I still don't think it's enjoyable. My mother praised you for your good writing. said that the opening song is full of Jianghong, with the generosity and heroism of a man and the spirit of a golden iron horse, but unfortunately there is only the first half. ”

Although there is Li Kun's strict order, he still likes to play with the third uncle.

A poem is divided into two halves. Jia Huan began by talking about shooting eagles, and only recited half of Yue Fei's Man Jianghong. But any storybook, or script, must start with a poem, whether original or borrowed, it is used to enhance the compulsion of the story.

You don't see, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms of the four famous novels, the beginning is the Linjiang Immortal of Yang Shen, the three great talents of the Ming Dynasty - the rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water.

Jia Huan smiled and said: "It's Yue Wumu's words, sister-in-law wants to look at the second half of the que, and the girls have it there." "Li Kun's literary literacy is still very high. Tanchun, Xichun, and Daiyu sent someone to ask her for the second half of the poem.

Jia Lan smiled, how dare he tell his mother!

…

…

Jia Huan and Jia Lan said goodbye at the gate of the East Cross Courtyard and entered Mrs. Wang's main room. It happened that Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai were talking to Mrs. Wang in the house.

Jia Huan depressedly kowtowed to Mrs. Wang to say goodbye. He doesn't give people the idea of kowtowing, and I don't know how long it will take to realize it.

Mrs. Wang sat on the chair and said condescendingly: "Brother Huan'er, I heard that you told the maids in your room about your newly written script. ”

Jia Huan knew that this was "settling accounts after the autumn". Mrs. Wang said before that he was not allowed to write a script, and he agreed. But he already had a plan to deal with it, and said: "Back to my mother, it's the book I wrote before." Last time, my father took the beginning away. Recently, I have been busy with schoolwork, so I have time to relax. Mr. said that the way of civil and military affairs is one by one. ”

He expected that Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang respected each other like "ice". It is impossible for Mrs. Wang to go to Jia Zheng for verification.

In the whole Red Mansion, there is no detailed description of the lives of Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang, but there are details of Jia Zheng and Aunt Zhao. One can imagine what this portends.

Mrs. Wang was noncommittal, and said lightly: "Don't do this again in the future." Son, what has become of scholars telling stories? ”

She's going to close the hole. There can be no next time.

Jia Huan also has no idea of using stories to mobilize public opinion. Wang Xifeng is already in the past tense. As for Mrs. Wang, she can't be defeated by such a method. He said, "Yes, Mother." ”

Seeing Jia Huan's promise, Mrs. Wang felt a little more relieved and said, "This is your Aunt Xue and Sister Bao." Don't come and see it yet. ”

This is Jia Huan's status in Jiafu now. If he was still that little transparent concubine, Mrs. Wang would send him away at this moment. will not introduce him to Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai.

Jia Huan had already seen Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai. I also took a picture in Jia's mother's side hall before. But this is the first official meeting. He saluted Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai, "Jia Huan has seen Aunt Xue, Sister Bao!" ”

Aunt Xue is the younger sister of Mrs. Wang, who is slightly young, and she is dressed as a noblewoman in ancient times. Laughing kindly. Let Xiangling behind him take two golden nudes for Jia Huan, and said with a smile: "Brother Huan'er is a talented person." It's hard for you. ”

Xue Baochai got up and gave Jia Huan a blessing back, and everyone smiled like a lady and said, "I've seen Brother Huan." "Etiquette is equal.

It was drizzling and it was dusk. Xue Baochai was wearing an elegant freshwater pink robe with white background, combing bangs, her appearance was exquisite and beautiful, her skin was fair, and her temperament was elegant and indifferent. It's a good girl.

Jia Huan compared Xue Baochai in the 87th version of the Red Mansion in his heart. Baochai in the TV has a superb temperament and is extremely outstanding. The later version of Dream of Red Mansions has no comparison. However, compared with Baochai at this time, he is three points inferior in appearance. Rating: 90 points in the upper range.

A few words of gossip. Jia Huan planned to retire. Although Baochai is beautiful, she has not yet reached the most beautiful moment of her life. He admired Xue Baochai from a distance, and did not have a strong sense of intimacy. She's a cold beauty.

At this time, Xue Baochai said softly and elegantly: "I have a question that I just want to ask Brother Huan." How did the ring brothers come up with the novel of the Condor Shooting? ”

She was curious. Such a novel cannot be written at all without a certain life experience, and it is not enough to just rely on imagination and a lot of reading. There are also stories such as Ying Ning and A Chinese Ghost Story.

Xue Baochai's beautiful apricot eyes fell on Jia Huan's face. The dark eyes are as bright as jewels, and the fair and plump pretty face shines in the candlelight, and the person is more beautiful than the flower.

Jia Huan almost lost his mind, praised in his heart, and said: "I used to like to play around in the capital, listening to some people at the foot of the city wall and the City God Temple telling stories and making them up. ”

Mrs. Wang shook her head and drank tea.

Aunt Xue obviously knew the content of the eagle shooting, and commented: "The intention is good. Loyal to the country. It's just that fighting, killing, and killing are not the style of people like us after all. ”

After a few words of gossip, Aunt Xue invited Jia Huan to have free time to play in Lixiangyuan, and Jia Huan said goodbye and left.

He didn't expect that his second meeting with Baochai would be in such a sudden situation today.

Xue Baochai's appearance is undoubtedly extremely high, and his character and temperament are first-class. In the twenty-first century, proper goddess first-class figure. "Even if it is ruthless, it is moving" is a compliment to her beauty. But he just wanted to appreciate her beauty and talent. There is no idea of pursuing or loving her.

Boys who are not brave are not cute, and girls who are not cute are too brave.

…

…

"Huh...!"

Jia Huan was distracted, and he heard a few crisp laughter in his ears. came back to his senses, but it was Jin Chu'er, Caiyun, and Caixia laughing at the door of the warm pavilion. Waving in front of him and stopping him was Caixia. Holding his school bag in his hand.

Caixia was wearing a diamond-white tooth-pinching vest, pursed her mouth, with a charming and gentle smile on her fair goose egg face, and handed her schoolbag to Jia Huan, "Third Master, don't you want your schoolbag?" ”

Jia Huan smiled, "Caixia, thank you." Some time ago, he gave Caixia a few things to eat and play with as a thank you.

In fact, to give gifts to girls, it is best to have bracelets, gold hairpins and other jewelry. But if Caixia uses these things, she may not be found by Mrs. Wang, and she has to watch out for her sisters. In addition, he didn't want Caixia to misunderstand.

However, even if it's just gadgets for play and food, it seems to have been misunderstood by Caixia and Jin Chu'er and others.

Caixia chuckled, "Thank you for this." ”

Jin Chu'er smiled and pushed Caixia, "Say it quickly." Not to mention, everyone's souls are taken away by Miss Bao. ”

Caixia has an honest personality, so she really lowered her head and whispered: "Third master, the rouge I just wiped on my mouth, do you eat it?" After speaking, her face flushed with shyness.

I'll go!

Jia Huan was stunned for a few seconds. It's seduction, isn't it?

Jia Baoyu likes to eat the rouge of the maid very much. To put it bluntly, I want to kiss someone when I see that maid pleasing to the eye. He even wanted to kiss the mandarin duck a few times. It's also a good name: Love Red's Problem. In modern times, there is absolutely no problem with scolding a sentence of "lust-erotic-madness".

Of course, Jia Baoyu is compared with Jia Zhen, the "Dumas" of the Jia family, which is a small thing.

"Giggles..."Jin Chu'er and Caiyun covered their mouths and smiled, looking like they were watching a good show.

Jia Huan smiled and shook his head, Caixia was obviously tricked by the two. Eating rouge, even if you really do it, you have to find a place where no one is around. A little girl who is just starting to fall in love.

Jia Huan didn't want Caixia to lose face in front of her friends, and said, "Caixia, next time." ”

Caixia also reacted at this time, and fled back to the warm pavilion in shame. Jin Chu'er and Caiyun laughed.

Looking at the two little girls who couldn't squeak, Jia Huan's mood also improved, remembering his youthful age in junior high school, holding out the oil-paper umbrella and walking into the night.
