Chapter 41: Retreat
In late June, at noon, the weather was hot. Jia Huan came back from the study and sweated in the sun. In the hall, he fanned himself with a pu fan, and when he heard Qingwen say this, his eyes suddenly lit up slightly, "Qingwen, what's going on?" ”
There are two big girls in his house, and Ruyi has a good relationship with Li Kun's maid Suyun. Qingwen has a good relationship with the waiter, Cuimo, Zijuan, and several maids in Jia's mother's room, such as Jadeite.
Qingwen put the food from the kitchen on the round table in the hall and said, "Yesterday, Miss Shi invited the girls to a party in the house. Bao Er Ye ran to play, but he was not welcomed. Giggles, I heard Cui Mo say that Bao Er Ye was cold when he entered.
Later, Sister Zijuan 'stabbed' Bao Erye in front of her. When he returned, he beat the attackers and wanted to drive them out of the house. Listening to Sister Jade, the specific reason was that she went to the wife's house to report something, which caused the second master of Debao to lose his temper. ”
Ruyi looked at the simple food on the dinner table, wrinkled his nose, snorted, and said, "Hmph, you deserve to attack people!" Self-inflicted. This is also a whistleblower, that is also a whistleblower. ”
Jia Huan groaned, he realized that the opportunity to break the game had come!
It is not to solve the situation that Mrs. Wang detained him in Jiafu, but to relieve the unfavorable situation in Jiafu.
Qingwen set the meal, and when she saw Ruyi's unhappy expression, she pinched her face and said, "Little hooves, don't be unhappy to eat." Today, the sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked woman went to the kitchen to stare at me again. It's good if I can get a meal that hasn't gone bad. ”
Ruyi looked at Jia Huan with a bitter face, "Third Master..."
Jia Huan smiled, "Ruyi, I can't help it when you look at me." Jia Huan's face sank angrily, pointing to the unpalatable food on the dining table that was about 1 yuan in the university cafeteria, and said sharply: "He will pay back this matter ten times a day!" ”
This is what Jia Huan said in his heart. If before, he just wanted to borrow Jia Lian's hand to "punish" Wang Xifeng a few times before leaving Jiafu. So now, his mind has changed. Anyone who treats people with "pig food" will have an idea.
Wang Xifeng "practiced" him like this, he will pay it back ten times a day!
Ruyi covered his mouth and smiled.
After a lot of bitterness, Jia Huan, Qingwen, and Ruyi ate a meal that was difficult to swallow. At this time, Aunt Zhao brought Xiao Jixiang over to speak, "Yo, you guys are having lunch so early?" ”
Jia Huan got up and beckoned Aunt Zhao to sit down. Qingwen and Ruyi served tea.
Jia Huan explained: "I have to go to class in the afternoon. I'm going to take a lunch break. In the past ten days, his "welfare" in the kitchen has been gone. The cook did not dare to give him anything for the silver. The filial piety he gave to Aunt Zhao in the past is naturally gone. Aunt Zhao complained a few times, but she was powerless to change anything.
Aunt Zhao brought three hard-boiled eggs to Jia Huan, watched him eat the eggs, sat at the dinner table and counted him, "You uncreated seed, you have a good life, you have to play with that Wang Ba." It's another trouble. Eating and playing does not have a long memory. It's exactly the same as when I was a kid. ”
Jia Huan rolled his eyes speechlessly and retorted: "I remember that I came out of the side hall that day, and my mother came to praise me that night. ”
Aunt Zhao took a sip, "Phew." I thought you wouldn't be punished by the old lady and the lady! I used to hear you talk about cheating fathers, are you considered a cheating girl? ”
Not to mention Jia Huan's treatment, even her daily food treatment has also decreased a lot. Fortunately, she is a person who has endured hardships.
I-! Jia Huan unexpectedly found that he was speechless. He always thought that Aunt Zhao, who was "dirty in export", could only be regarded as a "five scumbags" on the Jiafu combat power list. At this time, he was speechless by the "critical hit".
Aunt Zhao sat here with Jia Huan for a while, and took Xiao Jixiang back to her yard for lunch with satisfaction.
Jia Huan divided the remaining two eggs to Qingwen and Ruyi, and said with a smile: "One for each person, let's eat it quickly." Don't look back to my mother to know, she's going to scold again. ”
Looking at the small eggs, Ruyi swallowed saliva greedily. The eggs are fragrant.
Qingwen nudged her and refused, "Third master, you can eat." You study hard every day, and your body is about to make up for it. ”
Jia Huan shook his head with a smile and said confidently: "We haven't fallen to the point where we can't afford to eat eggs. In two days, our small stove can also be re-lit. ”
These days were punished, and the extra expense of burning honeycomb coal such as small stoves was stopped at Qingwen's strong request. She and Ruyi go to the kitchen every day to fetch him hot water. Jia Huan actually stopped considering the impact.
He still has about 180 taels of silver on hand, equivalent to about 180,000 yuan. In this era of average annual consumption of 20 taels of silver, this is a lot of money. He won't be able to afford to burn a coal stove.
Qingwen chuckled with relief, pretty and pleasant. She believed in Jia Huan. Pick up the eggs and peel them.
Jia Huan got up and ordered, "Qingwen, help me prepare 5 taels of silver in the afternoon." ”
Qingwen bit the egg yolk, looked at Jia Huan with big bright and dark eyes, and said strangely: "Third master, do you want to buy anything?" ”
Jia Huan smiled: "No, I want to use it at night." "He still has classes in the afternoon, so he is not suitable to carry out his game-breaking plan, but he has plenty of time in the evening.
…
…
Jia Baoyu drove his chief maid back to Jia's mother's room, although it caused an uproar in Jia's mansion. But this is logically unrelated to Jia Huan. Why does Jia Huan see this as a good opportunity to break the game?
The answer is just two words: fame.
At the end of the side hall a few days ago, Jia Huan was not interested in brushing the "literary name" in front of Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang and others, because it was useless. Jiafu is not a "family of Hanmo poetry and books" at all, and it is still a medium-sized noble family in essence.
What does a true family of poets and calligraphers look like? The maids can answer the poems in the Book of Songs. For example, the allusion to the story of the moment, the dialogue of the maidservant girl in the family of Zheng Xuan, a scholar of the Eastern Han Dynasty: a maid jokingly said: "Hu is in the mud? This maid responded: "Bo Yan is angry, and he is angry." It's so elegant.
The name of the text cannot be honored in Jiafu!
Otherwise, with Lin Daiyu's outstanding poetry talent, Zijuan will not be the only one who will be loyal to her in the future. Look at the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei cashed in with the reputation of "benevolence", how many people in the world came to him?
What Jia Huan wants to brush up on now is the reputation of "virtuous".
This can be cashed in in Jiafu.
As the saying goes: those who have attained the Tao have much help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help. Justice is at ease in people's hearts.
In the evening, Jia Huan estimated the time, about eight o'clock, starting from his residence, passing through the verandah, courtyard, walkway, garden, and arriving at Jia's mother's upper room.
The little maids outside Jia's mother's room were very strange when they saw Jia Huan coming. A sharp-toothed little maid stopped him at the door, "Third master, the ancestor has ordered, let you come to see the ancestor after you read and become famous." ”
Jia Huan didn't care, and arched his hand: "I came to find Sister Mandarin Duck, and the ancestor told me to apologize to her." I'm busy with my studies, so I'm free today. ”
It's a fact.
The little maid tilted her head and thought about it, so she took Jia Huan into a warm pavilion in the courtyard, and then went to talk to the mandarin duck.
…
…
As Jia's mother's secretary, Mandarin Duck is in front of Jia's mother every day. As described in officialdom novels: when the leader rests, the secretary can rest.
Jia Huan pinched the time, and at this time Jia's mother was already resting. Mandarin ducks are attacking people with their good sisters, and Amber is enjoying the cool in the courtyard and talking together. There are also emerald wisps that come to visit the attackers. Several of them were good in the past, and they had nothing to say.
The attacker was driven back to Jia's mother by Jia Baoyu, and Shi Xiangyun was very dissatisfied with her second brother's style. Yesterday, she came to visit the attacker, and today she asked her maid Cui Wei to ask the attacker what he needed. Raiders have served her for a few years, and their feelings are very unusual.
The stars are sprinkled and the moon shadow is slanting. Four teenage girls gathered together to talk, walking or lying, their white arms and calves slightly exposed, and the picture was quite soft. The appearance is the best for attacking people and mandarin ducks.
The mandarin duck was comforting the attacker, "Don't think about it. The old lady and the lady know your loyalty. Otherwise, how could the reason for the article in Bao Erye's house fall on Li Gui? Since the old lady promised you to the second master, she will never change it. When the anger in Bao Erye's heart subsides, he will send you back. ”
Attacking people sighed faintly, lying on the bamboo bed, looking at the starry sky, full of complaints and thoughts. She was hit hard this time.
I thought that she had promised her to Baoyu earlier, and she was also with Baoyu in her life. Where did you think that Baoyu would beat her and take her away. What is the love of the past? Is it as thin as a piece of paper?
Amber sneered, "I'm afraid that Qianxue doesn't want to attack people back." "In the battle for the chief maid in the Baoyu room, Qian Xue is the most powerful opponent. The two are a little dirty. On the contrary, the relationship between the charming and the attacking people is better.
The mandarin duck shook his head and said fairly: "Qian Xue is not such a character. ”
While he was talking, a little maid came in and replied to the mandarin duck, saying that Jia Huan had come to apologize. Amber, emerald wisps, and raiders are all confused.
After listening to this, the mandarin duck groaned for a few seconds, and said coldly: "You go back to the third master: the dog I scolded the third master was bloody, and I didn't have the face to see him again." In the past, I offended him, and I invited the third master Haihan. When I see the third master in the future, I will automatically retreat. ”
The little maid went to reply.
Amber giggled and said, "Sister, that's a pleasure! See if he still doesn't hurry up and leave in shame. Does he still have the face to apologize? The weasel greets the chickens for the New Year, and is uneasy and kind. "She has a bad impression of Jia Huan. But he also admits that such scheming people are not easy to mess with.
The attacker also sat up, nodded and said, "It's okay if you drive him away, I'm terrified when I see him now." lest I scolded him that day and buckled him with a hat. His mind is so gloomy, similar to the white face in the play, I can hide as far as I can. ”
The attacker almost didn't directly scold Jia Huan for being a sinister villain with a gloomy mind. She knew very well that the root of the beating she was given yesterday was still on Jia Huan. She has an opinion about Jia Huan in her heart.
Cui Wei's impression of Jia Huan is very good, in the eyes of Amber and Raiders, Jia Huan is scheming, and in her eyes, she is far-sighted and witty. But at this time, she was not good at arguing with her sisters, and Yingying chuckled: "Sister's mouth is still so powerful!" ”
More than a dozen of their childhood playmates are now naturally led by mandarin ducks.
The mandarin duck smiled. She was angry with Jia Huan in her heart. Jia Huan almost pointed at her nose and scolded: "Do you still want to be shameless?" "Can she be angry in her heart? But at the same time, I feel a little guilty.
Jia Huan never targeted her, she took the initiative to jump out and target Jia Huan, and she was slapped in the face by him. Moreover, it seems that she has some misunderstanding of Jia Huan's opinion. Jia Huan didn't seem to care about Baoyu's location.
Therefore, after the "damage" of Jia Huan with a gun and a stick, she said that she would retreat when she met in the future. In fact, it is a kind of concession.
After a while, just when a few maids thought that Jia Huan would be ashamed and leave, the little maid came in and replied, "Sister Mandarin Duck, the third master said that he knows what Sister Mandarin Duck means, and he wants to ask Sister Mandarin Duck a question, give him rancid meals in the kitchen, does Sister Mandarin Duck know?" ”
"Ahh The mandarin ducks looked at each other!
If Jia Huan's words are true, this is simply a bloody and tearful accusation!
The young master of his dignified Jiafu, even if he is a concubine, can treat people like pigs and dogs, this is the result you want?
What kind of unforgivable mistake did he make?
