Chapter 132: The First Maiden
The moonlight was cold, pouring down from the eaves and falling on trees, houses, and flowers. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In Jiafu, in Lixiang Courtyard, Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai had dinner, sat together to eat tea, and talked about Jia Huan's design of Baoyu today. Xiangling and Ying'er were waiting on the side.
Aunt Xue leaned on the pillow tiredly, stepped on the pedal, and sighed: "Brother Huan'er, this brother, every time you come back, you have to make some movement." He..., alas! Your aunt's lungs are about to explode, and she will find an excuse to scold Aunt Zhao half to death in the afternoon. ā
Xue Baochai drank tea and listened quietly. The temperament is elegant and the posture is beautiful.
She felt that Brother Huan'er was impulsive today and not worth it. But it wasn't without the mother's strong feeling that he was going to finish. Jia Huan often has a turnaround.
Aunt Xue is actually a little optimistic about Jia Huan. If there is such a brother in her Xue family, she must hold it in the palm of her hand and protect it. However, Brother Huan'er is so capable of death that he even sued Baoyu. But when you think about it, it feels like a matter of course. What about the concubine. I'm afraid I have some thoughts in my heart.
When Aunt Xue was sighing, Xue Pan came back from eating and drinking outside. After he came to the capital, every day he was looking for flowers and willows, fighting cocks and lackeys, and the business affairs of the Xue family were all left to a few old housekeepers to help.
"Mother, sister" Xue Pan shouted, wiped Xiangling's face, took off her clothes, sat down to eat tea, listened to Aunt Xue talk about Jia Huan's incident today, clapped her hands and smiled: "If you want me to say, it is a good fight, a good fight, and a fight that makes me happy." Could it be that Baoyu is the king of heaven, his father beat him, and the family will be in trouble for a few days. ā
Aunt Xue spat angrily and said, "Phew, what kind of nonsense are you?" The two brothers in his family are making trouble, what do you care? ā
Xue Pan smiled and didn't say. He is a man who likes men. It's just that there is a new Qin Zhong in the private school, with a peugeot appearance, a blushing face before speaking, and a cowardly daughter, but he has an excellent relationship with Baoyu and behaves intimately. He had heard what Jia Rui had said, and he had some ideas in his heart.
Xue Pan said: "I heard Second Brother Lian say that Brother Huan has done a great job in Dongzhuang Town. I went to him for a drink after the year. ā
Xue Baochai stopped: "If you want me to say, brother, don't go." The ring brothers are very hard-natured and have clear grievances. You're so offended that he can't get good. ā
Xue Pan didn't listen to Xue Baochai's words, and said with a smile: "I'm not Baoyu, I'm going to rob his concubine, I'm going to make friends with him." What can happen? ā

In the evening, Jia Huan's carriage arrived in the densely populated town of Dongzhuang. A smell of the New Year spreads in the air. Smoke curled up. From time to time, children run happily through the streets.
Jia Huan jumped out of the carriage, stood on the land of Dongzhuang Town, and took a deep breath, inhaling the cold of winter into his heart.
Everything and all kinds of Jia Mansion were left behind. He didn't care about Jia's mother's disgust or Mrs. Wang's anger, he didn't care, he was too lazy to pay attention. The important thing is that he has already picked up Qingwen and Ruyi. His plan went well.
Let's enjoy the excitement of the New Year! Last year he spent the New Year alone in a book.
In the carriage, Ruyi looked at the lively town outside through the curtain, and couldn't help asking: "Third master, it's here!" ā
Jia Huan smiled: "There are still a few steps to go." Just sit in the car! I'll come down and move down. "He sat in the carriage all afternoon, and was a little stiff. As he spoke, he commanded the coachman and led the carriage to his new home.
Along the way, from time to time someone saluted Jia Huan, "I've seen Deputy Envoy Jia." Jia Huan nodded with a smile and responded.
Among the assets that Jia Huan exchanged in Dongzhuang Town were 15 courtyards. Five of them are located on the site of the former town of Dongzhuang, which is now called Beiqianfang. 10 are located in the central area of Dongzhuang Town. Jia Huan asked people to open up the five courtyards connected together in Beiqianfang early and rebuild the walls to form a new residence.
At the gate of the small courtyard with house number 49, Jia Huan gave the silver money to send the carriage away, and the key opened the door and took the two maids in.
Although the courtyard is open, the houses inside have not been repaired. Five houses stand alone. Jia Huan's choice of accommodation is the middle room. A three-room open room. The layout is divided into bedrooms, kitchens, and living rooms.
Jia Huan had already asked people to move his things from the side hall of the West Wing of Wendao Academy. Immediately, Qingwen and Ruyi opened the package, packed it up separately, and it was quickly organized. I went to the town again to buy some household things and had dinner.
Back at home, after taking a bath and lighting the kang, the three of them covered themselves with their own quilts and talked on the bed.
The problem of the inferior-beast and the fowl-beast is not as good as this kind of problem, because there is a fire kang in the whole house. Fortunately, Jia Huan considered the needs of the victims at that time, and designed a relatively large, 2-meter kang.
The night sky is clear and the moonlight is like water. Fall on the window grille.
Ruyi slept on the pillow, and in an unfamiliar environment, the 11-year-old girl couldn't sleep, tilted her head sideways, looked at Jia Huan who was lying flat, and said softly: "Third master, we came out like this?" ā
Jia Huan tilted his head slightly to look at the delicate little girl, and said with a smile: "Yes." Ruyi, are you still used to it? ā
"It's okay." Ruyi chuckled, "I'd like to go to town tomorrow to add something." "She's already looking forward to her future life.
"Where's Qingwen?"
Qingwen blinked her beautiful big eyes and said with a smile: "Where are you used to it?" Can't sleep. However, tired panic. Her mood was still a little agitated. However, this is how simple it comes out. If Jia Huan wasn't here, she would still be a little afraid of such an unknown future and environment.
The three of them just talked and fell asleep.
The smoke and clouds of Jiafu, the suffocating shackles of the feudal system: masters, slaves, concubines, wives, concubines, all kinds of etiquette, trivial, boring, boring, meaningless, intriguing house fights, all drifted away with the breeze.
ā¦
In the middle of the night, Jia Huan felt that there was an extra person in his arms, and he fell asleep, but when he woke up in the morning, he saw Qingwen falling asleep in his arms. There were still tears on her face, I was afraid that she was thinking about going to Baoyu's room at night, and after leaving Jiafu, the pressure was released.
Qingwen has a very standard face: a slightly round face, delicate eyebrows, big eyes closed, delicate nose bridge, and pink lips, forming a pretty beauty face. Between the eyebrows and eyes, there is a little like Lin Daiyu. Qingwen is almost twelve or thirteen years old now, right?
Jia Huan couldn't help but feel some pity in his heart.
Baoyu scumbag is a scumbag, and a few words praising Qingwen are indeed well written: Remembering the past of her daughter's life: if it is quality, gold and jade are not enough to say that it is expensive; If it is sexual, then the ice and snow are not enough to describe its cleanliness; If it is a god, then the stars and the sun are not enough to describe its essence; If it is the appearance, the flower moon is not enough to describe its color.
This is indeed the recognized first maid in the Book of Red Mansions. The quality, temperament, spirit, and appearance are all first-class. It ranks first in the second volume of the twelve hairpins in Jinling.
Her untimely death is really a sigh of relief, and it is a real tragedy! is the so-called: Huayuan is cowardly, and he is soaring; Yanagimoto is sentimental, why not rain showers!
Jia Huan really has a lot of opinions about Jia Baoyu's failure to protect Qingwen in the original book. Even if Baoyu's love is Daiyu's, and desire-hope is attacking, shouldn't a good girl like Qingwen fight and protect? Just from the perspective of her love for serving Baoyu for five years and eight months, she should have to make a move. To be a human being, you can't always be a turtle with a shrunken head.
Now, it's none of Baoyu's business. Qingwen, he will protect it!
Jia Huan slowly and quietly took away Qingwen's hands and feet wrapped around him, ready to get up. He has a habit of waking up early. In this way, Qingwen woke up, rubbed her eyes, and said in a daze: "Third master, are you going to get up?" ā
Jia Huan smiled: "You sleep yours." Didn't sleep last night, right? ā
"Hmm. Think about things. Qingwen's temperament was not polite to Jia Huan, squinting her eyes and curling up in the warm quilt. She and Ruyi have not served Jia Huan for a year, they have been herding sheep for a long time, and they get up late in the morning in winter.
Jia Huan sat up and got dressed. Qingwen said her thoughts, "Third Master, if you didn't come back the day before yesterday, I wouldn't have planned to go to Second Master Bao's room." It's a big deal to get the old lady and wife out of the house. She didn't want to bow her head.
Jia Huan smiled: "What do you think is beautiful?" I didn't listen to Ruyi relay yesterday's situation last night, and my wife is reprimanding you. If you want me to say, it may not be impossible to sell you to a dirty place like a green house. Take you as an example, next time there will be no maid in the house who dares to make trouble. ā
Qingwen pursed her lips and smiled, pretty and colorful, "Giggles, third master, you scare me!" ā
Jia Huan smiled. He really wasn't scaring Qingwen. Thinking about Mrs. Wang's black hand poison, she may not be unable to do it. Isn't Jin Chu'er forced to death by Mrs. Wang! After what she said, after Jin Chu'er was kicked out of the house, she had a reputation for seducing the young master, and she couldn't survive. Therefore, the fierce-tempered Jin Chu'er simply committed suicide by throwing herself into a well.
Jia Huan got up, took pity, and gently patted Qingwen's quilt, and Qingwen laughed. Jia Huan let Ruyi, who woke up, continue to sleep, and then went out. He wants to exercise in the morning and then go to the morning reading.
It's just that when he was reading in the morning in the forest of the academy, he was thinking about a question. All along, Ruyi's little girl has been sticking to him, whether she understands love or not, and he does regard her as his person. As long as this little girl doesn't take the initiative to leave, he will definitely want her to follow her for the rest of her life.
It's Qingwen, he's always been a friend, and he doesn't have any other ideas. On the first day Qingwen came to his house, she made it clear that she was not a person in the house. But now, she really wants to leave his side in the future, is he willing?
The answer is obvious.
Robbed Baoyu for this, Jia Huan felt that he couldn't be too hypocritical.
Of course, a ten-year-old boy, a twelve-thirteen girl, it's too early to talk about feelings or something.
ā¦
The Spring Festival is just around the corner. There are firecrackers in Dongzhuang Town. The confused little girl Ruyi, when it was snowing in the early morning of the second year of junior high school, remembered what Sister Mandarin Duck told her: to excuse herself for the attack.
It was snowing outside the window, Jia Huan lit a candle and flipped through the book in the house, and asked with a casual smile, "Qingwen, what do you say you want to do?" ā
Attacking people is a bad thing done with good intentions. The punishment must be punished. Otherwise, the words of the third master will not be good in Jiafu in the future. Of course, Jia Huan didn't have much interest in his heart.
To use a game jargon, the assailant failed to contain his hatred. (To be continued.) )
