Chapter 40: Wait for the Time to Move

Cui Wei took Jia Huan's manuscript and left with a smile.

Jia Huan gently put down the brush and sighed softly. Since he decided to take the path of the imperial examination to break the current deadlock, he put in 12 points of effort. Recently, I've been busy studying, and I haven't bothered with other trivial matters.

For example: Jia Mu told him to apologize to Mandarin Duck and Wang Xifeng, but he has not gone yet. Well, I've been in a bad mood lately!

The "Talented and Beautiful Woman" incident has caused a lot of trouble in his current life, but correspondingly, he has not left a little benefit. For example, his relationship with his third sister Jia Tanchun is more intimate;

For example, after experiencing the turmoil, he actually has the capital to interact with hairpins, dais, and history.

It's just, as Xue Baochai said: I could have come to him for answers. But because of Jia's mother's attitude, it is inconvenient for them to come to him to play openly, but there is no hindrance in sending maids to him.

Of course, Jia Huan is in a depressed situation now, if he wants to communicate with Hai, Dai, and Shi now, then he is the real "merry and celebrity": he has not eaten enough, so he wants to get closer to girls and enjoy the fun of dating beautiful women.

But that's not his Jia Huan's style. He's a pragmatic guy. His focus now is on his predicament, on his studies.

Current dilemmas include: poor food in the kitchen; The amount sent down by the public is shoddy and almost unusable; The isolation of some people in the house, Jia Huan once smiled at Qingwen that several of them would be "beaten into the cold palace", and the current situation has a bit of such a meaning.

Ruyi came in with a teapot and poured a bowl of tea for Jia Huan, with an aggrieved flat mouth. Now the benefits of chilled watermelon and mung bean soup are gone, and the silver has to be saved, so you can only drink tea.

"It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift." Jia Huan smiled and pinched Ruyi's delicate little face, "It's emotional!" What about Qingwen? ”

Ruyi didn't hide her emotions either, and nodded, "Sister Qingwen went to the kitchen to serve dinner." ”

Jia Huan said: "She's angry, don't quarrel with people!" If it doesn't work, you can go instead. ”

Ruyi pouted, put the teapot on the table, and said depressedly: "Third master, I am also very angry!" Those people in the house are really low-eyed. ”

Jia Huan couldn't help but smile slightly, picked up the tea bowl and drank tea.

Speaking of which, his journey in Jiafu is indeed a bit tragic. Every time it gets a little better, it gets hit. But he was sure that he would have waited less time this time than the previous two. Because, he now has more resources in his hands than the previous two times.

The first time was: just put on Jia Huan, he waited for more than a month, and even planned to wait quietly like a little ant when he received attention for a poem at the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

The second time was: at the end of February this year, Jia Baoyu threw jade in his room, and he was snubbed by Jia's mother. He was like a cheetah hunting, waiting patiently for a month before he found a breakthrough in the incident of the nurse Mama Zhang.

And this time?

Jia Huan's fingers tapped lightly on the top of the desk. It's been more than ten days!

The gentleman hides his weapons and waits for the time to move.

In late June, the sun is blazing! In the morning, the birds are singing in the forest.

In Jia's mother's house in Jia's house, Shi Xiangyun invited all the sisters and sisters in the house to her residence to discuss several questions about "heaven" raised by Jia Huan: "Does heaven have a head? What do you know? Is there enough for the sky? Does the sky have a surname? ”

Hairpin, Dai, History, Ying, Tan, and Regret gathered. Plus their respective maids. The living room of Shi Xiangyun's residence immediately seemed a little lively.

Shi Xiangyun smiled like a flower, clapped his hands and said, "I have an answer now." Say it first, it can be regarded as throwing bricks and stones. Is there a head in the sky? Answer: Yes, the head is in the West. The Book of Poetry says: It is to look to the west. By pushing it to this, the head is in the West.

Lin Daiyu frowned, and said softly: "This answer is clever!" Immediately, he thought about the content of the Book of Songs. She had read the Four Books and the Five Classics.

Jia Yingchun and Jia Xichun were both impressed, "Sister Yun (sister) is really talented." ”

Jia Tanchun and Xue Baochai both laughed.

Jia Tanchun smiled: "Heaven has ears? Yes. "Poetry" cloud: The crane sings Jiugao, and the sound is heard in the sky. How can you hear without ears? ”

Xue Baochai chuckled, and then said, "Is the sky enough? There are feet. "Poetry" cloud: The sky is difficult. How can you step without feet? ”

This time it was Shi Xiangyun's turn to be stunned, she thought that she got the answer from Jia Huan, which was enough for the sisters to be amazed. Shi Xiangyun said in surprise: "Third sister, sister Bao, where did you know the answer?" Why didn't you give the answer the day before yesterday at the meeting? ”

Jia Tanchun covered her mouth and chuckled, "Sister Yun sent someone to the third brother?" After Jia Huan's punishment for the elders was decided, the matter began to slowly fade in Jia's mansion. She sent someone to ask Jia Huan for the answer.

The reason why she didn't say the answer was that she didn't know what the sisters' attitude towards Jia Huan was. Why bother with it. Baoyu has been stubborn with her sisters recently, and often speaks ill of Jia Huan.

Xue Baochai's concerns are similar to Jia Tanchun's, her character is always on the score, and she will not get involved in the "fight" in Jia's mansion. At this time, he took a copy of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms from Ying'er's hand with a smile and said, "Sister Yun, if I say it in advance, I won't have a chance to see your surprised appearance now." ”

Xue Baochai said it jokingly, and said something about her knowing the answer in advance.

Lin Daiyu was in a hurry to take the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" written by Luo Guanzhong and Jiuwu to turn over the answers. Jia Yingchun and Jia Xichun were also suddenly: Tanchun must have known the answer in advance. The girls laughed, and for a while, the warblers and swallows were soft, the fragrance was gusting, and it was like a purple and red flower, and the beautiful girls were good at winning.

The girls joked and joked, but they didn't notice that Jia Baoyu didn't know when he came. Shi Xiangyun invited the sisters to a gathering today, how could Bao Er Ye not know?

Shi Xiangyun is taking out the "Green Pine" poem written by Jia Huan himself and showing it to everyone. The women gathered around the round table in the living room.

Xue Baochai commented on Jia Huan's calligraphy, with a smile on his face, and said softly, "This is far worse than his hard pen calligraphy." His line can only be regarded as passable. ”

Jia Tanchun's poetry book, which can be seen in the book's description of her residence in the Grand View Garden. Tanchun agreed with Baochai's point of view and said with a smile: "Sister Bao, the focus is on reading the content of the poem. ”

Xue Baochai nodded. Jia Huan's poetry is quite good.

Lin Daiyu exclaimed: "The year is cold, and then the pine and cypress are withered." Jia Huan's ability to retreat in such a stormy attack left a deep impact on her. At this time, see his "self-report". I feel a lot of feelings. So much so that later, when she encountered great difficulties, she would think of Yongzhi 8 years, the boy who was like a green pine in the side hall.

"Oh, what is written, can my sister show me?" Jia Baoyu squeezed over and made a sudden sound. He had gestured to the maids when he had just come in, telling them to keep quiet. Otherwise, there would be no room full of people who could not see him.

It's like the king of the cold field appearing, and the scene that was still lively just now suddenly became a little cold.

In the "Talented and Beautiful Woman" incident, Jia Huan was severely punished afterwards, but Jia Baoyu was fine. But justice is in the hearts of the people.

In the hearts of girls like hairpin, dai, history, ying, and tan, who know books and etiquette, who is right and who is wrong, has their own account. Baoyu's performance that day was really disappointing, and she almost swept them in.

Shi Xiangyun said that "giving" is not, and "not giving" is not. She is really worried that Jia Baoyu will go to the poem manuscript again, and there will be many turmoil in the future. Then she really won't have the face to see Jia Huan again. Nothing can be done at once.

Lin Daiyu chuckled, happy to see Baoyu deflated, slightly let go of her body, and let Jia Baoyu come to the round table.

These days, Jia Baoyu has been "attacking" Daiyu, low and small. Baoyu can mix in the "flowers", and the level of coaxing her sister is still very high: she has a good temper, can grind, and has a high status. At this time, most of the anger in Daiyu's heart disappeared.

But Daiyu's maid Zijuan was very vigilant and said bluntly: "The second master just take a look, but don't take it back to your house." Otherwise, if someone informs again, the girls will not be able to bear it. ”

She heard Qingwen say: The third master of Huan is eating some leftovers now, and once he gave the spoiled food in the kitchen, and his life was very bad.

She respects the third master very much in her heart. Just now, Cui Wei also said: The third master treats people kindly, distinguishes between right and wrong, has a frank temperament, and has outstanding talents.

This is also known as the purple cuckoo. Because she is Daiyu's eldest girl, after Jia Baoyu quarreled with Lin Daiyu in the past, she also dared to stand on Daiyu's side and stab Baoyu a few words. Afterwards, Baoyu had to come to her first to plead and ask Daiyu how she was feeling.

Just look at this moment: Shi Xiangyun's face was embarrassed, he stopped talking, Xue Baochai smiled and said nothing, Jia Yingchun looked frightened, Jia Tanchun bowed his head and said nothing, Jia Xichun looked around and looked around, and knew how embarrassing the scene was.

Although Jia Baoyu said that he "pitted" Jia Huan a few times and hated Jia Huan, he did not have malicious intent in the subjective sense. It's just that the child is ignorant and only cares about the consequences of following his own will. He's actually a warm man. Seeing Zijuan say this, he smiled wryly, picked up the poem manuscript and put it down.

After staying for a while, seeing that the atmosphere was a little stuffy, Jia Baoyu said goodbye and returned to the room sullenly. He suddenly understood why the sisters had been a little distant from him lately and didn't joke with him. It's the reason for the attack!

Who doesn't want the words they occasionally say to suddenly fall into the ears of their elders one day and become a sin?

In the Baoyu room, the big girl Qianxue and Meiren were busy drying clothes in the open space in front of the eaves, and it was a sunny day today. Seeing Baoyu coming back, the two of them threw the matter to the little maids, and entered the door with Baoyu with a smile, "Didn't the second master go to Miss Shi's place to play?" Why did you come back so early? ”

Jia Baoyu sighed with a sad face, sat on the chair, looked up at Qian Xue and Meiren, and said distressedly: "My sisters don't want to play with me." Oh, what about the attackers? ”

Qian Xue said: "She went to the wife's house." ”

Jia Baoyu said with some dissatisfaction: "What is she doing in the wife's house." ”

Mei Ren has a good relationship with the attacker, so he helped to slow down, "Maybe I have something to say to Jin Chu'er." She played with Jin Chu'er at a small time. ”

Baoyu nodded. Qian Xue and Meiren were busy serving him: fetching water to wipe his face, changing clothes, fanning the wind, pouring tea and serving soup. After about a cup of tea, Baoyu was reading a book by himself in the house when someone came in.

Raider was wearing a delicate diamond pink cardigan today, with a gentle smile on his snow-white pretty face, skillfully adding tea to Baoyu, and said softly: "What about the second master looking for me?" ”

Baoyu put down the book and asked, "Hmm." I'll tell you. What are you doing in your wife's house? ”

The attacker didn't know the suspicion in Jia Baoyu's heart, and said calmly: "I'll go and call my wife back." ”

This is the initiative to find the wife. Baoyu thought of the incident of attacking and informing, and his heart was angry, and his face was a little angry, and he raised his voice and asked, "What are you going to tell your wife?" ”

The attack was a little inexplicable, but to be honest, she really wanted to persuade Baoyu, and said softly: "I asked my wife to urge the second master to go to the study to study." It's not the right way to be stubborn with my sisters all day..."

"Smack!"

Baoyu was furious, smashed the teacup in his hand on the ground, kicked her to the ground angrily, pointed at her and scolded: "Who are you?" I want you to care? I want you to care? It's because of you who snitched that even the sisters don't want to play with me now. It's not that you're afraid that you'll go to your wife and say that they're not. You broken heart. I'll go back to my wife and old lady tomorrow, I can't afford to raise you in this house who is so loyal and doesn't want the master's maid. ”

The attacker cried bitterly, and braided himself: "Second master, I..."

Baoyu didn't listen, and scolded angrily: "You get out of here!" I don't want you to serve..."

Where did the attacker think that she escaped Jia Huan's "counterattack": Mrs. did not punish her, but Baoyu, who she served wholeheartedly, beat her and wanted to drive her away. My heart was full of sorrow for a while.

How did she know that Jia Huan had already predicted: in Baoyu's heart, sisters and sisters must be more important than attacking people. In the book, there is a story about Baoyu angrily kicking and attacking people, and she wants to lose her temper and beat Qingwen, but Qingwen resists. This is the scene where Baoyu tears the fan in order to make Qingwen happy.

Outside the house, Qianxue, Meiren, Musk Yue, and Qiuwen heard the movement, and hurried in, and when they saw this face and posture, they all came to persuade them.

Baoyu was stubborn and didn't listen to the maids in the house to intercede. Things soon fell apart. Wang Xifeng and Li Kun all rushed out to deal with it. Lin Daiyu and others also sent the maid over to ask about the situation. This matter made a big fuss in Jiafu. And the initiator, Jia Huan, is still studying hard in the study, and he doesn't know yet.

At noon the next day, when Jia Huan came back for dinner, he heard Qingwen say: The attacker was insisted on being driven back to Jia's mother by Jia Baoyu.
