Chapter 269: I Know
readx; As Mrs. Wang's eldest maid, Caixia often has to wait by Mrs. Wang's side. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info but if she wants to find time, she can still do it. Mrs. Wang also has Jin Chu'er, Yu Chu'er, and Caiyun in front of her.
Caixia made up her mind to come to talk to Jia Huan yesterday, but Jia Huan was not in Jia's mansion yesterday. This morning, in front of her wife, she heard Aunt Zhao say that the third master of Huan was back. I came over after lunch. I happened to hear the conversation between the third master and Miss Bao behind the rockery.
She doesn't understand what "Pu Jia" is. But the words "waiting for me", she can hear the will and emotion contained in them.
The third master wants to marry Miss Bao, and now everyone in the house knows about it. But this straightforward, bold, almost lifelong rhetoric made her heart tremble when she listened. There are unspeakable emotions floating and throbbing in my heart.
So, after Miss Bao left, she walked out from behind the rockery. She is fifteen years old and will be seventeen years later in two years. She wanted an answer from the third master.
Jia Huan was embarrassed for a while, only to find that he and Baochai walked casually for a while, and it turned out to be after the East Cross Courtyard, no wonder they met Caixia, a girl.
Caixia was wearing a diamond-white tooth-pinching vest, combing bangs, pigtails, and a maid outfit. The fifteen-year-old girl looks more and more prominent. Goose egg face, very white skin, with a healthy glow in the afternoon sun.
Medium build. The posture is slightly plump. Under the diamond-white pinched vest, the curve of the chest is plump. It exudes the charm of a girl's youth. The appearance is inferior to Qingwen, but compared with Ruyi, it is slightly better.
At this time, it's like when I was in junior high school, a beautiful girl walked out of the staircase and created a chance encounter. The sun dragged her shadow. The coquettish look tells the girl's heart that wants to talk about it.
Looking at the little girl who bowed her head, Jia Huan asked gently, "What's the matter, Caixia?" ”
He goes to the East Cross Courtyard less now. Caixia also rarely comes to play at Mochizuki Residence. After all, he hadn't spoken to Caixia for a long time.
Last year, he had already swept Wang Xifeng's companion Laiwang family to Jinling to farm. The tragedy of Laiwang's son who ate, drank, prostituted and gambled forcibly married Caixia and ruined her life will never happen again.
"Third master, I..." Caixia quickly raised her head and said in a mosquito-like voice, the words stuck in her throat, and her cheeks were crimson. She mustered up the courage to come to Jia Huan. But when it came to the end, the sentence "Third Master, I have been thinking of you in my heart" couldn't be said.
Jia Huan smiled and said, "Needless to say, I know." ”
In the thirty-ninth chapter of the original book of Red Mansions, Baoyu and others commented on the big girl in Jia's mansion. There was such a conversation. At that time, Mrs. Wang's chief maid, Jin Chu'er, had committed suicide by throwing herself into a well. Baoyu said: "Caixia in the wife's house is an honest person. Tanchun said: "It's not, it's honest outside, and I have a few in my heart..."
Therefore, the little girl's face was shy and soft at the moment, and what she wanted to say, Jia Huan knew it in her heart. Don't bully honest little girls. Tell her directly: I know.
But knowing that he knew that he had no intention of accepting this affection. Just finished talking to Sister Bao and set the future. His heart is now full of the shy shadow of the beautiful woman when she leaves. I want to laugh out loud three times! At this time, how could he fill Caixia's feelings in his heart?
Of course, he didn't intend to hurt this beautiful little girl.
From secretly reporting to him and inviting him to eat the rouge on her lips, it has been two or three years since then, right? She still thought of him in her heart.
No emotion will be crystal clear and flawless! Whether Caixia likes his identity or admires him, this is a young and innocent feeling.
It's beautiful!
It is enough for people to flash her face in their minds when they are old and bask in the sun, and sigh softly: Caixia...!
Caixia lowered her head again, uneasily moving the shoes under the skirt, the pointed embroidered shoes.
Seeing Caixia like this, it seemed to be waiting for his ruling. Jia Huan smiled lightly and said, "Silly girl! I'm going to Xiajiangnan. ”
"Third master, I know."
"When I get back, I'll take you out of my wife's house and take you to my side. In the future, if you fancy which kid in the house, I will call the shots for you. ”
When the maids in Jiafu are big, they have to be pulled out and distributed to the boys. And those days were bitter. If Caixia had stayed with Mrs. Wang, she would not have been able to escape this fate. With his net worth, what about raising Caixia for a lifetime? In the future, if she has someone she likes, he will help her make the decision. I hope that she, Jin Chu'er, and Mandarin Duck can live well!
Caixia raised her head, looked at Jia Huan, and said softly: "Third master, I won't." I don't know why, a force suddenly rose in her heart, wanting to refute Jia Huan's meaning, so that she could bravely say the feelings in her heart. She's not going to change.
Jia Huan smiled. Time will dilute a lot of feelings. Many times, men and women look wonderful when they are far away. The closer you get, the more it fades.
Jia Huan didn't correct Caixia's thoughts, and changed the topic with a smile, "Okay, don't talk about this." You asked Jin Chu'er to give Baoyu less rouge on his mouth. Let my wife know, and I'll get her out. However, if it's true, don't let her think about it. Wait for me to come back and help her. ”
Jin Chuan died with shame.
He went to Jiangnan this time, and he couldn't go back for a while. In the thirteenth year of the Red Mansion, Jia Baoyu, the frustrated man, would be a shrinking turtle because of eating Jin Chu'er's rouge. Jin Chu'er was unwilling to be insulted by Mrs. Wang and committed suicide by throwing herself into a well.
He hoped that Caixia would give Jin Chu'er a wake-up call. It's best not to accommodate Jia Baoyu's frustration. If something happens, don't think about throwing yourself into the well for a while. If there is something, I will talk about it when he comes back from Jiangnan.
Caixia said softly: "Third master, where will she listen to me?" I remember. ”
Jia Huan smiled and nodded. Caixia is still very reliable, pointing to the corridor, "I'll go to the third sister's house to talk." You have time to go where I am naughty. ”
He also had to go back and talk to Tanchun. As for whether it will be a joke about the spring, with Jia Huan's face, he doesn't care much.
"Hmm."
Caixia answered and watched Jia Huan leave. Thinking that he would give the third master to his house, although he knew that the third master did not mean to ask her to be a person in the house (concubine), but his face was crimson. People are like bright clouds.
...
...
On July 22, Jia Huan commanded Qingwen and Ruyi to pack their luggage in Jiafu, and sent Qian Huai to Tongzhou to charter a ship to prepare for going to Jiangnan.
With him, he took Qian Huai and Hu Xiaosi.
In the afternoon, I called Jia's mother to the inner house to explain. The four major families Jia Shi Wang Xue have clansmen in Jinling, and Jia Huan wants to go around, and if he can take care of it, he must take care of it. The Zhen family in Jinling has been friends with Jiafu for generations and wants to visit. Aunt Lin is in Yangzhou, no matter whether he lives or dies, he has to go there. Do your best. In addition, Jia Huan was assigned an old servant who was familiar with Jiafu's relationship in Jinling. He'll help get those people around.
Jia Huan agreed one by one.
Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, Wang Xifeng, Li Kun, Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun and other relatives are all there.
Li Kun took a letter to Jia Huan, "Brother Huan, this is my family letter, please help me bring it." Li Kun's father, Li Shouzhong, once served as the country's son of the priest wine, and lived at home at this time. He lives in Jinling.
Jia Huan nodded and came down.
Jia's mother ordered Mandarin Duck to give Jia Huan some gifts to relatives.
As soon as he returned to Mochizuki Residence, Wang Xifeng brought Ping'er over. Wang Xifeng was dressed in a coral red gown, wearing a beaded le, and his figure was slender and plump. The phoenix eyes are bright and the willow eyebrows are picturesque. Ping'er was holding a package in her hand.
Jia Huan entertained Wang Xifeng in the back room. Qingwen served tea. The sun fell into the house at four o'clock in the afternoon. The coolness of autumn is already palpable. Qingwen and Ruyi continued to pack their things in the house.
Wang Xifeng was a little embarrassed, she was a young daughter-in-law, and it would be embarrassing if she gave people a smile and thought of her husband who went out. Said: "Brother Huan, if you take a boat to Jinling, I'm afraid you will pass through Yangzhou." If your second brother Lian is in Yangzhou, the winter clothes in this package will bother you to bring him. ”
The reason why Wang Xifeng said this is that Lin Ruhai's hometown is in Suzhou. If he died, Jia Lian would take Lin Daiyu back to Suzhou for burial.
"Sister-in-law Feng, don't worry, I'll bring it." Jia Huan smiled and agreed. He knew very well in his heart that Lin Ruhai died on the third day of the ninth lunar month. If he buys a boat to go down to Jiangnan at the end of July, he will definitely be able to see Jia Lian in Yangzhou.
Wang Xifeng laughed, full of crisp and his chest trembled slightly, and he had the charm of a beautiful young woman, "Brother Huan, I heard that you are very profitable in the business of Bixue cream." Sure enough, it's the ability to turn stones into gold. I'm thinking about the rouge business, can you help me plan a thing or two. I'll give you a thirty-percent portion. ”
Jia Huan was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Wang Xifeng to have the idea of talking to him about business. After pondering for a while, he refused: "Sister-in-law Feng, this is using me as a free laborer." ”
Wang Xifeng was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Brother Huan, in addition to Sancheng shares, I can help you dissipate Aunt Xue's anger." Xue Da fool is in charge of you, it's not a bad thing to have someone who is afraid, right? ”
Jia Huan was stunned again, and then smiled: "Okay." "Sister Wang Feng came prepared today. However, he looks at Sister Wang Feng quite pleasing to the eye now.
It is naturally a good thing to have Wang Xifeng beating the side drum. Wang Xifeng's level of coaxing is beyond doubt. Jia's mother was coaxed by her.
The handsome Ping'er covered her mouth and smiled. Grandma saw it quite accurately. The third master really cares about Miss Bao very much.
…
On July 23, Jia Huan went to Wendao College to say goodbye to his husband and classmates. A few days ago, he was here to bid farewell to the mountain chief with his gentlemen and classmates. Now it's time for him to go to Jinling.
On the morning of July 24, Jia Huan went to Lin's house in Dongzhuang Town to meet Lin Zhiyun. talked to Lin Zhiyun about letting her act as an agent for the sale of blue snow cream. How to distribute goods to the outside and expand the sales area, he prefers to let Miss Lin help him complete it.
In other words, the Lin family's business can indeed consider leaving Dongzhuang Town. Development here has reached its limits.
In the afternoon, Jia Huan and Liu Guoshan, who rushed to Dongzhuang Town after hearing the news, went to visit Ye Hongyun, the dean of Wendao Academy. Du Hong and Yao Wei of Xianheng Commercial Bank were invited to discuss things together in the scholar's restaurant, and the printing office of Liu Guoshan's house was merged to Xianheng Commercial Bank to solve the problem of insufficient printing power of the academy.
This is Liu Guoshan's feedback to Jia Huan for saving him.
Mr. Ye gave Jia Huan a copy of the newly printed four books and poetry textbooks of Wendao Academy's Shati School Edition as a souvenir and sent a copy to his friend Lin Gaohe in Fujian.
After everything was settled, on the morning of July 25, Jia Huan went to the outer study to say goodbye to Jia Zheng. At this time, Mochizuki was in the center, and Baoyu, Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun, Li Kun, and Wang Xifeng came to send. Jia Baoyu wanted Jia Huan to help bring a message to Sister Lin. It's nothing more than a thought.
Baochai sent Ying'er to see him off.
Jia Huan said goodbye to everyone, and the luggage was loaded into the carriage outside Mochizuki one by one. Qian Huai and Hu Xiaosi are already waiting in Tongzhou. Jia Huan left Jiafu with Qingwen, Ruyi, and the old servant Zhang San.
Separated by a wall, in the Lixiang Courtyard, Baochai wore a brown cloak and took Xiangling to stand in the corridor. I couldn't see the boy's face, and I seemed to hear the creaking carriage go away.
Jia Huan will go to Tongzhou first, rent a passenger boat, take the maid, the long entourage, and the old servant, and go to the south of the Yangtze River along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.
Jiangnan is good, Jiangnan is autumn. Looking for Guizi in the middle of the month in the mountain temple, the county pavilion pillow looks at the tide.
Gangnam, I'm coming!
