Jiafu North Park. The winter morning is quiet. Dead leaves rustle in the cold wind. The faint morning light filtered in through the clean glass window.

The lavender cage is lit with smokeless charcoal, with the scent of red willow wood. The beautifully spacious bed is tied up with pale blue curtains.

Xue Baochai was dressed in a snow-blue gown, quiet and bright, sitting in front of the bed, looking at Jia Huan's slightly emaciated face, quietly, his thoughts fluttering in the breeze.

After last night's family dinner, she and her husband hugged each other and recounted their parting feelings until they fell asleep. I don't know what time it is. I only know how down-to-earth and warm it is to be embraced by him and snuggled in his arms.

Listen to him talk about what he has seen, heard, and experienced in the Western Regions in the past three years. said that her time in the water town of Jinling, when she received his letter, she missed, sad, and cried.

How many things he has experienced in the past three years: birth and death! Fracture! And now, he's back. She's fine.

Baochai reached into the quilt and gently held Jia Huan's hand. Looking at his calm face when he fell asleep, the affection in his heart flowed quietly. When it is full, bow your head to him on the cheek and kiss him gently.

…

…

I don't know how the time passes, but at about seven o'clock in the morning, Ying'er came in and asked for breakfast, Baochai didn't want to use it, sat in front of the bed, guarded Jia Huan, and watched him sleep.

After a while, Lin Daiyu came in from outside. She wears a long gown embroidered with burgundy flowers and leaves on a white background, and her demeanor is bright. Holding Baochai's shoulder, he glanced at the tent curtain, and said softly: "Sister Bao, Brother Huan hasn't gotten up yet?" ”

Daiyu's courtyard is on the landlord's side. The two bedrooms are connected to the left and right. Separated by warm pavilions, small halls, small rooms, etc., but a distance of 100 meters.

"Hmm." Baochai said softly. turned around to help Jia Huan press the corners of the quilt, and saw Jia Huan wake up dimly.

When Jia Huan opened his eyes, he saw two beautiful faces with different styles and beautiful eyes. It was the jade face that haunted him when he was thousands of miles away in the Western Regions. Two wives are right in front of you! couldn't help laughing, and shouted softly: "Sister, Feng'er, morning." ”

Baochai smiled, as bright as a peony, and said elegantly: "Husband, early." ”

Dai Yuyan smiled, like a hibiscus blooming, and said softly: "Brother Huan, early." ”

…

…

Jia Huan's breakfast is in the bright dining room: soy milk, fried dough sticks, buns with various fillings, pastries, pumpkin and millet porridge.

There are all kinds of pickles and cold dishes: cabbage, diced radish, preserved eggs, tofu, sour cowpeas, cold beef, mutton, white cut chicken, etc. A variety of stir-fried out-of-season vegetables.

Jia Huan, Baochai, and Daiyu ate breakfast at the rectangular pineapple wood dining table. Casual chit-chat. The maids dined together: Xiangling, Qingwen, Ruyi, Ying'er, Caixia, Raider, and Zijuan.

The mandarin duck commanded the servants and brought the carefully prepared breakfast in the kitchen one by one. also sat down at the table of the Eight Immortals next to him to eat.

The scene was lively and warm.

Jia Huan dined, and he always couldn't help but speak. Although, good etiquette is: don't say anything when you eat, don't say anything when you sleep. But, at home, who is still so old-fashioned? Of course, the health habit of chewing and swallowing slowly is still necessary.

Looking at Xiangling and Qingwen, Jia Huan was in a very good mood, he is now the head of the family!

Jia Huan said to Baochai and Daiyu: "Sister, sister, after dinner, let's give my wife and sister-in-law the gifts I brought back from the Western Regions." ”

"Hmm." Baochai chuckled and nodded, biting the skin of the soup bun with her teeth slightly exposed, and her demeanor was beautiful.

Daiyu hesitated slightly, she didn't like the social kung fu on the scene. But thinking that he could be with Brother Huan, he should come down, "Okay." ”

…

…

On the twenty-first day of the lunar month, the winter day in the morning was soft.

Jia Huan took his two wives: Baochai and Daiyu, from Daguanyuan to the east cross courtyard of Jiafu Middle Road. Raider, Qingwen, Xiangling, and Ruyi followed with servants and maids.

Although Jia Huan hurried all the way back to Beijing, he still carried gifts to all parts of Jiafu. And there are two gifts for the wives and concubines, one of which was distributed everywhere when they met last night. More beautiful gifts, he will give them individually.

Today, it is just a routine thing to go around giving gifts. Gift-giving is secondary. The main thing is that Jia Huan and his two wives do something together.

Otherwise, as Jia Huan, there are only three places that ask him to come forward: Mrs. Wang, Aunt Zhao, and Jia Tanchun.

came out of the east cross courtyard, and saw Aunt Zhao in the small courtyard next to him, and promised to come to her for dinner at noon.

Jia Huan and the three of them went to Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng's residence on Jiafu East Road. Jia Huan sent the little maid to inform him early. Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng, and Ping'er are all at home.

Wang Xifeng is wearing a cyan sprinkled flower jacket, a beautiful woman with pink and fat. At the age of thirty, the phoenix eyes are flowing, the peaks are tall, and the people are bright. It is worthy of being a beauty in the official book of the twelve hairpins in Jinling. The noodles contain Chunwei and do not show up. Of course, her majesty can't be shaken out in front of Jia Huan.

Sister Wang Feng smiled and beckoned Jia Huan and the three of them to sit down, and said with a spring breeze on her face: "Oh, Brother Huan, look at you, you are really a match." On the way to the capital, Sister Xue and Sister Lin looked through the autumn water. If you are like a beautiful flower, you are willing to stay in the Western Regions for three years. ”

Jia Huan smiled, looked at Baochai and Daiyu, and then said, "What Sister-in-law Feng said is true." ”

Jia Lian also smiled.

Ping'er wore a pink cardigan, combed a high bun, and a delicate headdress, and looked handsome and beautiful. She is now Jia Lian's concubine. is still Wang Xifeng's right-hand man. smiled and served tea to Jia Huan and the others.

I saw the third master at my wife's place yesterday. The family is looking forward to returning. Willingly or unwillingly, sincerely or falsely. She sometimes thinks about the eight years of Yongzhi, the boy when she spoke.

…

…

Jia Huan chatted with Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng for a few words, and then said goodbye. Then go to Jiafu West Road to visit Li Kun. Jalan grew up and is eighteen years old this year. Li Kun lives in Daoxiang Village, which is inconvenient. Grand View Garden is a daughter country.

Between his son and his residence, Li Kun chose his son. She lived in her courtyard on Jiafu West Road before the construction of the Grand View Garden.

Jia Huan saw Qin Keqing for the first time in this living room that day.

Thirty-three-year-old Li Kun, wearing a light white cardigan, has an elegant face and a graceful figure. Gentle, mature beauty. It was inconvenient to talk when we met last night. Li Kun was close to Jia Huan in his heart, and said: "Uncle Huan's safe return is great news." In my opinion, it doesn't matter what merit is. ”

Speaking of Jia Lan's studies, "Lan'er studied hard in Jinling for three years, and now she is studying at Wendao Academy. Please also ask Uncle Huan to help him take a look. ”

In the nineteenth year of Yongzhi's township test, Jia Lan did not participate in filial piety. Zhen Baoyu failed in the Beijing Middle School exam. Lifting people is the key to the imperial examination. With Zhen Baoyu's cleverness and hard work, he didn't get the right shot.

In the spring of the seventeenth year of Yongzhi, Jia Huan was still in Beijing. Qu Wei, Luo Xiangyang, and Yuan Mei are the first three people. The top two are: Ji Shichun, Wei Yang, Fu Zhengmeng, Ji Cheng and others.

Qiao Rusong, Qin Hongtu, Shen Qian and others are the second first.

Jia Huan smiled mildly and said, "Sister-in-law Zhu doesn't have to worry. I turned around and asked Mr. Ye and Senior Brother. ”

According to the original book of the Red Mansion, Li Kun and Jia Lan will die after they run out of oil and run out of lights. As far as Jia Huan himself can see, Li Kun and Jia Huan have indeed put all their efforts into it. However, he had advised her a few years earlier.

He also let Jia Lan enter the academy and study in Nanjing Guozijian. Li Kun's complexion and mood are obviously good now. And Jiafu still maintains its glory and wealth. Her living conditions are good. There will be no more tragedies.

He would always ring in a trance at the end of the seventh year of Yongzhi, and he admired her beauty at the family banquet in Jiafu.

…

…

After chatting for a while, Jia Huan and the three of them entered the Grand View Garden and went to Zilingzhou to see the spring. Spring is not there. The maids said that they were in the spring exploration place. Along the way, it is the lotus root champs that cherish spring. The fourth sister is also at the spring visit.

Immediately, the group went straight to Qiushuangzhai.
