Jia Huan and Aunt Zhao, Ruyi, Xiao Que, and Xiao Jixiang talked casually, and when Qingwen came in with a food box, the six of them gathered at the table to eat.

In early spring, it is difficult to see fruits and vegetables. Several side dishes are radish and winter melon. Mixed with chicken, duck, pork, eggs, etc.

Aunt Zhao ate and sighed, "Brother Huan, your food is better than mine." Gai Ming'er, I can eat with you every day. ”

The kitchens in Jia are divided into large kitchens, small kitchens, and public kitchens. The large kitchen is dedicated to Jia's mother, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing (Jia Yu) and other family heads. The small kitchen is dedicated to young masters and young ladies. The public chef served the servants as a meal.

Jia Huan eats a small kitchen, but in fact, it used to be leftovers, which is not comparable to the treatment of Baoyu and Daiyu. There has been an improvement recently.

And Aunt Zhao eats a public kitchen. She said that she was an aunt, but in fact she was still a slave in Jiafu. This can be seen from the words of Wang Xifeng and Aunt Zhao in the twenty episodes of the book, "... He is now the master, but there are people who teach him, what does it have to do with you! ”

Aunt Zhao has always been a person who doesn't know how to behave, has no reputation, and bullied her in the kitchen. When Xiaoxue was eating at Aunt Zhao's place a few years ago, the food that Xiaoque brought from the kitchen was all warm.

Aunt Zhao's exclamation touched Jia Huan a little, and she immediately responded, "Okay, no problem." ”

Qingwen frowned slightly. She had a fight with the mother-in-law in charge of the kitchen in the small kitchen just now in order to ask for more food. She didn't want to fight three times a day.

After eating, sitting together drinking tea and talking. Qingwen excused herself and left. Aunt Zhao mentioned Jia Zheng's attitude towards Jia Huan's request for a maid, "Originally, the master really praised it, but you, who are not civilized, actually asked for a maid in the house, and the old man was so angry that he said that he would beat you." If you make another appearance at the Lantern Festival banquet, our mother's life will be better. ”

Jia Huan sneered, "Mother, I didn't see anything wrong with the old man in the New Year." Didn't he come over like this back then? ”

Jia Huan didn't take Jia Zheng's evaluation to heart. Jia Zheng means false seriousness. False Taoism!

In the whole Red Mansion, although the political father did not do anything bad, he did a lot of foolish things. The most confused thing is to help Jia Yucun, a decrepit boy, restore the prefect of Jinling.

Aunt Zhao glared at Jia Huan "ho". The truth is right, but how can anyone say that. Ruyi, Xiao Que, and Xiao Jixiang laughed at each other.

As she was talking, Qingwen outside came in with Tanchun's personal maid book. He has a plain face and wears a satin vest in pink.

Seeing that Aunt Zhao was there, the waiter changed her words and said, "The third girl greets her aunt and the third master." He handed the notebook and white paper he brought in his hand to Ruyi, "This is the Yan Gong notebook and the high-quality white paper that the three girls let people find outside." The third girl said that she hoped that the third master would study hard and be able to get ahead in the future. ”

Jia Huan remembered Jia Tanchun's words and expressions on Chinese New Year's Eve. This was the first time in a long time that Tanchun had sent someone to care about his younger brother. It probably has something to do with his recent calm and studious performance!

Jia Huan said: "You go back and say: Third Sister Xie cares." Then he commanded, "Ruyi, get some tea money for the waiter." Waiter, you've worked hard to make a trip. ”

Tea money is the reward for running errands. Ruyi and Xiao Jixiang went to Li Kun to return the book and got a reward. There are rules for how much to reward.

The expression on the waiter's face softened, and he smiled slightly, "Third Master Xie." ”

Aunt Zhao originally watched Jia Huan deal with it, and when she saw that Jia Huan wanted to give a reward, she was immediately unhappy, but when it came to money, she was very sensitive, and said dissatisfiedly: "How much reward does the girl get for the New Year, just buy a few pieces of paper to send her brother." How much is to give that one? I'm afraid I don't have to post all the private money! ”

The waiter's face immediately became ugly. She didn't want to come to this in the first place. But Jia Huan has recently made a name for himself. The girl asked her to send a few pieces of paper and calligraphy, but could she still come? Unexpectedly, when I met Aunt Zhao, who was out of tune, she was angry.

Jia Huan had a toothache, Aunt Zhao was really difficult to get close to, and persuaded: "Mother, what kind of kindness does the third sister have, what are you scolding her for?" What she wants to do with her private money is her own business. ”

Aunt Zhao's voice rose and she shouted, "I can't take care of it." She didn't crawl out of my intestines, shouldn't she honor me? I think she longed to live in that house. An ungrateful and faceless thing..."

Seeing Aunt Zhao's scolding ugly, Jia Huan couldn't cry or laugh. The maid of Tanchun is still here, can't you wait to scold again? interrupted: "Alright, mother." ”

Aunt Zhao glared at Jia Huan, "Brother Huan'er, what do you mean?" Why, she is close to his wife and Baoyu, and she is not allowed to talk about her. How could she have a mother like me in her eyes? ”

Of course, Jia Huan was not afraid of Aunt Zhao, and said bluntly: "Mother, in this world, there is no love for no reason. The more you scold the third sister, the more she won't kiss you. People's hearts are flesh and blood, if you are good to the third sister, she will be bad to you? ”

Aunt Zhao patted the bed and scolded Jia Huan angrily: "The evil obstacle of the maggot heart, I am her mother!" ”

Jia Huan shook his head, the problem is that Tanchun may not think like this. In a feudal society, there are many people who take their mothers as their mothers. Biological mothers are not necessarily treated as mothers. Aunt Zhao scolded arrogantly. Ruyi took a few coins of silver to serve as errand fees for the waiter. Jia Huan said: "It's hard work. "Send the acolyte away.

As for how Aunt Zhao and Jia Tanchun get along, he is too lazy to care. Each has its own opinion.

He was deeply sympathetic to Aunt Zhao's plight and close to her. But it didn't get to the point where everything was too big and bad for her. His soul is traversal. His mother is in another world.

Qingwen and Ruyi sent the waiter book out. After the waiter left, Qingwen and Ruyi returned to the living room, and Qingwen praised thoughtfully: "Ruyi, what the third master said just now is really good." ”

The human heart is made of flesh.

In this world, there is no love without a reason.

She felt that she had grown knowledge.

Ruyi raised her head arrogantly, looked delicate, and said with a smile: "Of course." Sister Qingwen, the third master is a scholar! ”

Qingwenjiao smiled and pinched Ruyi, "Little Lang Hoof, what are you proud of in front of me?" You don't know which one it is! ”

The two of them laughed in the living room.

…

…

The waiter carried the lamp and returned to the house where Jia's mother went to the house to explore the spring. The bright room was warm with a charcoal stove. Tanchun is reading a book at his desk. Long figure, duck egg face, handsome eyes and eyebrows. The essence of Wencai, see the vulgar.

"Coming back?"

"Hmm. Girl..."The waiter told Tanchun in detail about the scene he saw in Jia Huan's house.

Tanchun was silent for a long time, and then took up a pen to write down Jia Huan's words. "The human heart is made of flesh." "In this world, there is no love without a reason."

Looking at these two sentences on the paper, as if talking about your heart, Tanchun suddenly wanted to cry.

Every time Aunt Zhao made trouble with her and asked for money, she didn't understand her difficulties, and she couldn't live in peace every time. It's not that she doesn't want to recognize this mother-in-law, the blood relationship is there, she can't deny it. But what did Aunt Zhao do to her?

Jia Huan also instigated Aunt Zhao to make trouble with her before.

Now this stubborn brother suddenly opened his mind, casually saying such a famous aphorism.

…

…

Aunt Zhao scolded Tanchun in Jia Huan's house, just like a small stone falling into the water of Jiafu, which did not cause any waves.

Everyone in Jiafu knows that Aunt Zhao and Tanchun do not have a good relationship. On the whole, public opinion is sympathetic to Tanchun. Aunt Zhao's reputation in Jiafu is really not good.

However, Jia Huan's two sentences of persuading Aunt Zhao spread quickly in Jia's mansion through the mouths of Ruyi, Qingwen, and Shishu. These two sentences have the knowledge of seeing through the world and gaining insight into people's hearts, not like the words that a 7-year-old child can say, but like a summary of life by an old man who has vicissitudes of life.

However, even if it is not considered to be Jia Huan's original, these two famous sayings still give Jia Huan a reputation for Jia Mansion again after being silent for more than a month.

Baoyu, who was in the limelight at the Lantern Festival drinking party, had long forgotten to go to see Jia Huan's matter, and suddenly heard Jia Huan's news, couldn't help but think, and turned his head to Daiyu, who was reading together, and said, "Sister Lin, should we go to see Brother Huan'er?" ”

In the afternoon, the light and shadow in the warm pavilion are quiet, and the beauty in front of the window screen is fragrant.

Lin Daiyu's eyebrows stretched, holding a book, covering her mouth and chuckling: "Didn't you say that he was busy reading and learning?" What to do now? We'll go back to trouble him when he's on vacation in his study. ”

Jia Baoyu smiled: "What my sister said is true. I sent Akane over to ask. ”

…

…

On February 21, in early spring, there was a cold spring in the evening. Jia Huan wore a blue cloth cotton jacket and washed his hands at Zhao Guoji's house. In the small courtyard, there is a small pile of black cinders. On the cinder side are a dozen circular perforated honeycomb coals.

Jia Huan washed his hands in a basin of water. Zhao Guoji's wife handed over the towel. Jia Huan said "Thank you, aunt", wiped it on the towel, and advised: "Uncle, if it rains, move the honeycomb coal to the house." Dry it for a few days if it doesn't rain. I'll come back in a few days. ”

Zhao Guojimuna's nod.

Jia Huan knows his character, and he will do a good job in explaining things. These honeycomb coals are the experimental products he has done.

The ratio of cinder, soil, and water, Jia Huan knows in his heart. The reason why he did not expand production was that he also needed to solve a problem: to get the consent of Wang Xifeng, who was in charge of Jiafuli, to build a small stove at the door.

Otherwise, if you only have coal, you can't build a stove and make a fire.

It was already evening when I returned to Jia's accommodation. The living room of the half-old tiled house is brightly lit. Ruyi and Qingwen are playing backgammon with a chess piece and a chessboard under the lamp.

Seeing Jia Huan coming back, Ruyi hurriedly happily greeted him and helped him with his schoolbag. She's about to lose another game.

Qingwen cleaned up the chessboard and chess pieces on the desk, and complained, "Third master, you came back late today." I went to the kitchen to ask for the food that was cold early. Gotta send it back to the heat. ”

Qingwen's temperament!

Jia Huan said casually: "I stayed at Zhao Guoji's house for a long time today, and I will cause trouble for your work." ”

Qingwen smiled at Jia Huan's "poof": How can a master make trouble for the slave? It's not good to complain about him anymore. I went to the bedroom to pack up the food box and prepare to send it to the kitchenette to be heated again.

When he was about to go out, Jia Huan said, "Qingwen, you bring a few coins of silver and give them to Aunt Liu in the small kitchen." Don't quarrel with her again. ”

Remembering Jia Huan's account, of course Qingwen has no opinion. She didn't want to quarrel with anyone, so she immediately answered happily and walked briskly. About half an hour later, I came back with a food box. The three of them gathered around the table to eat.

Ruyi pulled the meal and said, "Third Master, Second Master Bao sent Qian Xue in the afternoon to ask when you are free, he and the girls are going to come over to play with you." ”

Jia Huan was puzzled when he heard it, "What, what's the matter in the house recently?" "He's been busy reading lately. and went to Zhao Guoji's house to work on honeycomb coal. I didn't pay much attention to the things in Jiafuli.

Ruyi said happily: "Third master, your two sentences have spread all over the house." In the afternoon, Sister Mandarin Duck also sent someone to deliver a box of rhombic flour cakes, saying that the old lady rewarded you for saying good things. "I told you about the situation in the house in detail.

"Oh, leave two pieces of diamond flour cake for my mother..."Jia Huan paused, originally wanting to say that he would send a little to Tanchun. Tanchun gave him paper and a notebook. Pay somebody back in the same coin. But after thinking about it, Tanchun and Jia's mother lived together, and this little thing would definitely be eaten, so he said, "You can share the rest." ”

After speaking, Jia Huan's heart moved again, and he asked with a smile: "Ruyi, so to speak, I'm famous again?" ”

Ruyi smiled and nodded again and again, and her small appearance was delicate and unprovoked.

"Ahem!" That's so weird! "Famous again". Qingwen choked on a mouthful of food, turned her head and coughed violently. Ruyi helped her pat her back smoothly.

Jia Huan didn't care about Qingwen, and drank the soup funny, thinking about it.

The gentleman is in righteousness, and the villain is in profit. He comes from the Internet society and is good at turning fame into profit. Aren't Internet celebrities all famous first and then make money? According to Ruyi, he is about equal to the Internet celebrity in Jiafu in the last three or five days.
