Chapter 45 Evaluation and Relationships
The noon dinner ended leisurely with the lazy chirping of cicadas, and the aftertaste was long. Enough for a few maids to reminisce and be happy for several days.
The next day is the Qixi Festival. The big girl and the little daughter-in-law all worship Vega and beg for skill. The legend of the morning glory and the weaver girl is widely spread, and women and children know it. Qingwen and Ruyi in Jia Huan's house are all worshipping the Weaver Girl at night. Qingwen is ingenious, and her needlework level is very high.
The days that go from then on will be Halloween in July and a half. Jiafu worships ancestors in Ningguo Mansion. Jia Huan is like a little transparent, and Jia Lan and Jia Cong flashed by on such an occasion. However, Jia Qiang, the grandson of Ning Guofu, and Jia Huan chatted casually outside the ancestral hall.
Jia Lan, as the great-great-grandson of Rongguo Mansion, has no feeling for Jia Qiang's identity. And Jia Cong, as Jia Yu's concubine, is a little envious of Jia Huan. Jia Qiang is favored by Jia Zhen in the East Mansion, and Jia Rong is very favored in the East Mansion. I never thought that the third brother could already make friends with such a powerful young master in the mansion.
Jia Huan was not too surprised by this and smiled.
Any person in Jiafu who can "retreat" under Wang Xifeng's conspiracy should enjoy such treatment. Qin Keqing was present that day, and Jia Qiang and her husband Jia Rong were close friends, so it was not surprising to know the details.
Thinking of Qin Keqing...
…
…
In early June, Jia Huan and Jia Zheng, Wang Xifeng, and Mandarin Duck had a fierce confrontation, and the two mansions of Rongning paid attention, and the six rooms outside the mansion were all informed, and even Jia Huan's business teacher Lin Juren had heard a few words.
Compared with these things that can alarm the two governments, Jia Huan has recently brushed his prestige in the servant world of Jiafu and broken through the situation of Wang Xifeng's "besiegement" of him, which can only be regarded as a trivial matter of daily life. The ripples are like water waves, slowly rippling with time.
But such a small thing is a big thing for the people involved. For example, Jia Huan, the biggest eater in the world! Another example is assault. When the people in the palace were all praised for their sensibility and magnanimity, the reputation of attacking people for loyalty was also mixed.
This made the mandarin ducks, attackers and others who wanted to "promote" the spread of the matter a little helpless. Their vision was to preach the loyalty of the people. But obviously, the name of the third master of Huan in Jiafu is much louder than that of the attacker. This is also normal. People who dare to pluck the second grandmother's tiger whiskers always have the ability. Odd people should have anecdotes to match.
However, who is this who touches whose light?
In the quiet of the night, the fragrance of flowers in the courtyard came into the house, and the moonlight poured gently like water into the room with the fragrance of her daughter.
"Mandarin duck, are you asleep?" The sound of an attack was heard in the mosquito net. She was driven back to the old lady and lived with the mandarin duck. Everyone knew that she was going back to Baoyu's room, but the matter was delayed like this.
The mandarin duck turned over on the bed, looked at the hazy figure in the mosquito net on the opposite bed, and said, "Not yet." What's wrong? ”
"I'm wondering, do I want to thank the third master of Huan?"
"Giggles, are you stupid? He's just saying justice, mostly for himself. Do you really think he has no problem with you in his heart? Seeing that things were clear, the mandarin duck teased: "You have a grudge against Baoyu in your heart, right?" ”
People are afraid of comparison. In contrast, the gap between Bao Er Ye and Huan San Ye is too big. And Bao Erye is more than a year older.
The attacker refused to admit it, and softly defended: "How can I have? ”
The mandarin duck smiled, "You can live with me with peace of mind, I also have a good helper." There's always a time to teach you to go back. Bao Er Ye is young now. At the third master of Huan, we are two stupid girls, it is better to retreat and let him play with the girls. Otherwise, people will come to make cages and slap their faces, and there will be no place to scream. ”
The attacker said helplessly: "Mandarin duck, your mouth..., I'm afraid of you." ”
She was on the verge of death that day. But Jia Huan came to praise her, and by the way, she also had to pass on her reputation of "loyalty", what could she do? It can only be taken orally. Otherwise, if she does this again, she will have no face to be a person.
The mandarin duck chuckled and said, "I'll tell you something." A few days ago, the girls played together, and I heard Miss Bao say: The third master of Huan is a very proud person in his bones. Not that he is arrogant, but that he seems confident that he can handle whatever problems he faces. ”
Saying that, Mandarin Duck said again about Shi Xiangyun's Cui Wei sending wine and food to Jia Huan, who gave two taels of silver, "I now believe that he has no intention of replacing the position of Second Master Bao." He has such arrogance, what is he worried about the family property of the lord and wife? ”
The attacker said gloomily: "It has nothing to do with me after all." He asked curiously, "Then how can he deal with the revenge of the second grandmother?" I heard Amber say that Laiwang's daughter-in-law stares at Qingwen in the kitchen every day. ”
Mandarin duck said: "Laiwang's daughter-in-law and second grandmother were all tricked by him. The sister-in-law in the small kitchen was already bought by him. Qingwen is just a disguise, and it is Ruyi who really goes to get the food. ”
"Then if the second grandmother knows, I'm afraid it won't be able to fall!" The attacker was silent for a while, and said, "It may not be good for me to say that. It's just that if you don't say anything about Ping'er, you can't tell the house to look up and down at her and her master's jokes. ”
Brushing fame is a win-win for both parties. Both the attacker and the mandarin duck have a number in their hearts. The attacker said that she was convinced, which meant that she no longer messed with Jia Huan. Don't dare to mess with him. But this "service" has nothing to do with admiration and respect.
In the final analysis, Ping'er and the second grandmother are closer to them. With such a thing, they don't want to "sabotage" Jia Huan's matter, but they want Ping'er to know that there is such a thing. How to deal with it skillfully, it is up to Ping'er to consider and have a headache.
The mandarin duck nodded lightly and sighed lightly: "They are all people who refuse to admit defeat." The days are still long! ”
The two of them are passers-by, and they only focus on not mixing up. I don't dare to mix with it. The two of them were willing to bow to Jia Huan.
The night was getting deeper.
In the words, the two big girls didn't realize that before they knew it, they had put Jia Huan at the level of Bao Erye, Hai, Dai, Shi, Tan and other girls: they were half of the masters in Jia's mansion who couldn't be neglected. And not a concubine of low status.
At the same time, he recognized Jia Huan's strong strength as Wang Xifeng's opponent.
…
…
Jia Huan didn't know what Mandarin Duck and Raider were saying about him. As for what Wang Xifeng would do if she knew that she was fooled in the kitchen, Jia Huan had several sets of plans and didn't pay too much attention to it.
However, the first problem he faced was the dismissal of Zhao Guoji from the honeycomb coal factory on July 17. Jia Huan paid out of his own pocket and opened a string of monthly money for Zhao Guoji to continue to follow him as a long-term follower.
Zhao Guoji, he has to wait for Jia Lian to come back from Jinling and then talk to Jia Lian.
Peaceful days go on. The violent turmoil of early June is undoing its effects with the passage of time. At least, on the surface. Jia Huan is busy with his studies every day. On July 30th, there was still a lingering afterglow in the middle of summer, and the afternoon was still sweltering and drowsy.
Jia Huan was reading Mencius in the house, taking notes. From time to time, I take a sip of chilled sugar water, which is comfortable and comfortable.
At this time, Qingwen and Cui Wei came in from outside the door, laughing. Qingwen showed Jia Huan the things in her hand, and said with a smile: "Third master, Miss Shi asked Cui Wei to give her the Luozi you called." ”
Luozi is the Chinese knot. Versatile, versatile, and available in a variety of colors. Some are used for stuffing, some are used as knots, and some are used as decorations. In the thirty-fifth chapter of the Red Mansion, there is a very wonderful description of this.
Baoyu begged Xue Baochai's maid Ying'er to help tie the rope. Ying'er said: "What matters, it's just a fan, a pendant, and a sweat towel." ”
Let's talk about the color matching. Ying'er said: "The red sweat towel needs to be black to look good, or the stone blue to suppress the color." Pine color with pink. The green and willow yellow is my favorite. ”
There are also several tricks. Ying'er said: "A stick of incense, a stool to the sky, an elephant's eye block, Fang Sheng, a chain, plum blossoms, willow leaves." Plum blossoms. ”
Shi Xiangyun's veil for Jia Huan is the vein of sweat towels (belts) and fans. Three or five winds are different in style and color, and they are very beautiful.
Jia Huan put down the book, got up and thanked him: "Cui Wei, thank you girl." She bothered. ”
It's a little girl in the end. If he is asked to deal with things like apologies and guilt, he will definitely deal with them all at once, and he will not be busy like Shi Xiangyun repeatedly. Of course, he inherited Shi Xiangyun's favor in his heart.
Cui Wei smiled and said, "Third Master, the girl will leave the house tomorrow and go home." The girls are stubborn in the girl's house today. When I came, Miss Lin also asked if you had a new script recently. Miss Bao asks if you have any new poems. The third girl said that you should only bring a message, and don't write. ”
Qingwen laughed when she heard it. A series of words, it is difficult for Cui Wei to finish it in one breath. It seems that the girls don't agree on anything.
Jia Huan understood as soon as he heard it: Tanchun was worried about him and defended him. Xue Baochai actually asked him what he was thinking recently? And Lin Daiyu is showing her rebellious side, and she also wants to read storybooks.
Jia Huan couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
At that time, he heard that Xue Baochai had come to Jiafu, and he was thinking about how he could go to see the gathering of the twelve hairpins in the Red Mansion. Although, except for a few, they are still Xiaohe who are only showing their sharp corners.
Now he has seen it, and he can even communicate with them through their maids, but suddenly he sighs a little.
Because, the closer you get to them, the more you can feel their unique beauty and character. But then, there is a sense of normality after feeling the truth. It's an illusion of sight and feeling after familiarity. However, they (except for Tanchun) are a little far away from him after all.
Jia Huan would never think that a beautiful woman would be interesting to him if she said a few words to him. This is childish!
Sort out his current relationship with the twelve hairpins of the Red Mansion: with Tanchun, the sister and brother have a close relationship; Welcoming spring, cherishing spring, the relationship is general; Shi Xiangyun regarded him as a friend, she was a good-natured girl; Bao Chai was a little curious about him at most; has a faint friendship with Lin Daiyu, Lin Daiyu is a lonely and self-appreciating character; and Qin Keqing and Wang Xifeng are in a hostile state; It has nothing to do with Li Kun; Yuanchun and Miaoyu are not in Jiafu;
Actually, Jia Huan didn't care much in his heart. The relationship between people is so wonderful. It's not that if you are a beauty, you have to be friends with her, and you can be friends. It depends on fate, position, identity... Wait a minute.
Jia Huan suppressed the thoughts in his mind and said to Cui Wei: "There are no new works for the time being." disappointed Miss Bao and Miss Lin. ”
He doesn't mind copying poetry. If you have the resources, why not use them? But I'm not interested in copying poems for no reason. The value for money is too low!
Cui Wei smiled and went to reply to the girls gathered in Shi Xiangyun's house.
Jia Huan's thoughts were flying, sorting out his thoughts in the room. His current situation is different from when he first came to Jiafuli.
