Chapter Twenty-Seven: Little Lotus Shows Its Sharp Corners

Jia Huan lost his mind slightly, his heart was amazed and unspeakable, and some of the lilac-like sorrow depicted in "Rain Alley" swelled up.

Qian Huai couldn't take his eyes off it.

The green-shirted beauty frowned with disgust, and deviated slightly from the original route in avoidance, preparing to stagger past Jia Huan's master and servant. A beautiful horse-drawn carriage was already waiting outside the rouge shop. The horses are digging their hooves.

I thought that this woman in green shirt was like a passer-by in his life, and he was deeply impressed at the time, and he would forget it after two days. Jia Huan suddenly recognized that the beautiful maid beside the beauty in the green shirt was the maid who polished his ink in the box of Xijiangyue Teahouse that day. This maid should be Lin Xinyuan's maid.

Jia Huan was overjoyed and greeted: "This girl, such a coincidence!" ”

In ancient society, it was very difficult to talk to a woman from a good family. However, Jia Huan is only 8 years old, looks like a child, and is very "deceptive".

The maid pursed her lips and chuckled, "I'm not a girl, this is our girl." As he spoke, he said to the woman in green shirt who stopped: "Miss, this is the Jia Gongzi who wrote Xijiangyue - Westbound Huangsha Road." A friend of the second young master. ”

The woman in the green shirt turned her head to look at Jia Huan. A white veil obscured her gaze. No one else could see her surprised expression. The Xijiangyue hanging in the Xijiangyue teahouse is now a famous name. The kind of interest depicted in "the fragrance of rice flowers says a good year" is fascinating.

The beautiful maid smiled and said, "Is Mr. Jia here to buy something?" ”

Jia Huan nodded, happy emotions welled up from the bottom of his heart, and smiled: "Well, I'll buy rouge." ”

At this time, the woman in the green shirt suddenly said sarcastically, "At a young age, I became a fisherman." Shu'er, let's go. ”

No way. Jia Huan was slightly stunned. I smiled bitterly in my heart. The voice of the woman in the green shirt was very pleasant. The problem is that the content of the speech is really depressing.

It's just a rouge, it's not that exaggerated, is it? It was actually related to the "pickle girl" in the heart of the woman in the green shirt. He bought it for Aunt Zhao. It's really wronged.

watched the woman in the green shirt board the carriage and leave. "Third master, amazing!" Qian Huai smiled and gave Jia Huan a thumbs up. The third master is awesome, and he actually accosted him successfully. It's just that the results weren't perfect.

"Less." Jia Huan said angrily, cleaned up his depressed mood, and entered the store with Qian Huai. The shop also sells rouge gouache, silk and cloth.

Rouge is a collective term for lip fat and face fat. The raw materials are red and blue flowers, heavy silk, pomegranates, mountain flowers and Sufang wood. It originated in the Han Dynasty and flourished in the Tang Dynasty. There are many depictions in Tang poems. For example: "Sister Wen Mei came, take care of red makeup", "red makeup bundle plain waist".

The shopkeeper is an old man. Listening to Jia Huan's requirements, he recommended a set of two boxes of rouge from Jiangnan to Jia Huan. Second only to the tribute to the palace. The asking price is 15 taels of silver, and Jia Huan is given two small boxes with a set similar to the trial version.

Jia Huan paid the silver and returned to Jiafu. pondered the identity of the woman in green shirts all the way, if nothing else, it should be Lin Xinyuan's sister or sister. Whether we can see each other again in the future depends on fate.

In the evening, Jia Huan gave the rouge to Aunt Zhao. The remaining locket was given to Qingwen to Tanchun. These trivia are needless to mention.

The major event in the last two days in Jiafu is that Jia's mother's grandniece Shi Xiangyun came to stay for a while, and it happened that Aunt Xue was also in Jiafu, which was lively and lively.

However, these things have nothing to do with Jia Huan.

Jia Huan's current focus is on the production of honeycomb coal. He learned from Zhao Guoji that the honeycomb coal workshop outside the capital had started. Started to supply Jia Fu kitchen use. About the time of autumn and winter, the dust will settle on the switch to honeycomb coal in Jiafuli.

After Jia Huan was thinking about waiting for the matter to settle, he asked Jia Lian to come forward to help him set up a place to use as a storyteller. He plans to build a place similar to "Deyun Club". Of course, you can also act in dramas.

The silver in his hand should be enough for the starting capital. The problem to be solved is that of the speakers. There were no microphones in ancient societies.

That afternoon, Jia Huan came back from school in the study, and the room was quiet. The two big girls, Qingwen and Ruyi, are not there.

Jia Huan asked the little maid who sprinkled the sweep to know that the two of them went to Jia's mother to watch the play. Because of Shi Xiangyun's arrival, Jia's mother invited Aunt Xue and others to a banquet, and called the troupe to come in and sing by the way. The little girl likes to be lively, so she runs over to play.

Jia Huan smiled and shook his head, washed his hands and poured tea, sat down at the desk and began to write his third novel: "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". He's going to have a hard time writing this novel. He is very familiar with the plot of "Shooting the Condor", but it takes time to write a beautiful text like Mr. Jin Yong.

When Jia Huan was writing hard with a quill pen, the curtain of the door was opened, and a fair and beautiful goose egg face appeared at the door.

When Jia Huan heard the movement, he looked up: he saw Mrs. Wang's eldest maid Caixia walking in briskly on tiptoe with a chuckle, and asked softly: "Third master, you are alone!" "The tone is soft.

"Qingwen, they went out to play." Jia Huan and Caixia were familiar with each other, and got up to give Caixia a seat, "But my wife has something to do with me?" ”

"That is, you treat us maids kindly." Caixia sat on the chair, pursed her lips and chuckled, and shook her head, "Mrs. is punishing Grandma." I'll have to come and talk to you. ”

Jia Huan held his forehead speechlessly. Aunt Zhao!

Caixia took the initiative to explain the reason, "I heard that the third master bought rouge for my aunt, and my aunt recently likes to show off in front of my wife, so I caught my wife and taught my aunt and grandmother the rules." ”

Jia Huan smiled bitterly and nodded. Aunt Zhao has such a temperament, what are you doing to show off in front of Mrs. Wang? Isn't this a search for sin? At the same time, it can be regarded as helping him pull the hatred of Mrs. Wang!

Caixia reminded softly: "Third master, you have to be careful recently. I followed my wife to Aunt Xue's yard yesterday. Speaking of your writing book, Mrs. seems a little unhappy. ”

Jia Huan's heart sank slightly, and he said sincerely: "Caixia, thank you!" It's hard for this little girl, she is "informing" him. This also shows the tendency of her inner position.

Caixia glanced at Jia Huan shyly, lowered her head, and whispered, "You haven't been to your wife's room to play for a few days, have you been busy lately?" ”

This "thank you" made her feel very comfortable. It's not in vain that she came to report to Jia Huan. She is 12 years old this year and is just starting to understand love. I heard from the people in the house that Jia Huan's recent outstanding performance is reasonable, generous, and talented. Those careful thoughts were like the moon floating at the bottom of a well, prompting her to yearn to see him.

Jia Huan found it difficult to appreciate the shy beauty of a 12-year-old girl. What he thought about most was the beautiful woman in the green shirt he met two days ago: curvy, breast augmentation and bee waist. A beauty like Li Kun is also fine. Forget it, little girl.

"It's okay. Busy writing new novels. Jia Huan smiled and got up to give Caixia a spoonful of jade flower dew. A few days ago, Li Kun returned the gift. Thinking about Caixia in his mind.

In the book, after Jin Chu'er committed suicide by throwing herself into a well, Caixia was recognized as the eldest maid in Mrs. Wang's room. In the thirty-ninth episode, Baoyu said: "Caixia in the wife's house is an honest person. Tanchun said: "No, I am honest outside, and I know it in my heart." Mrs. is so Buddha-like, he knows that he doesn't pay attention to things. He carried his wife to everything, and he knew everything that the master was going out at home. Mrs. forgot, he told her behind his back. ”

Of course, there are also Hongxue views that disagree, believing that Caiyun and Yu Chu'er's status is not necessarily worse than her.

Caixia wants to be good with him, of course he understands. This is the most intuitive manifestation of his actual influence in Jiafu. The problem is that his plan is to abandon the identity of "Jia Sanye". When the time comes, will Caixia be willing to go with him? I'm afraid this is a big question mark!

It feels very good to be admired, but Jia Huan doesn't intend to accept Caixia's feelings. Of course, he won't simply and rudely refuse to hurt Caixia. We'll talk about that when the time is right.

In fact, the relationship between men and women, when it reaches a certain level, will either advance or retreat, or even fade. There are changes in people's hearts, and there is the helplessness of the world. Therefore, people will miss the feeling of sudden heart palpitations at a certain moment, and sigh that there is no fate.

In fact, it is not in accordance with the rules to ask Jia Huan to pour water for her, but seeing that Jia Huan does it naturally, she can't afford to refuse. Caixia happily took the jade dew poured by Jia Huan, lowered her head and took a sip, the sweetness was straight to the bottom of her heart, a slight red appeared on the white and greasy goose egg face, and with the demeanor of a little daughter, she said sweetly: "Third master, it's very sweet..."

At that moment, there was a burst of laughter at the door. I saw Qingwen pick up the door curtain, and when she came in from outside the door first, she chuckled proudly: "Giggles, you can be regarded as catching a Qiao Zong'er for me." The beautiful big eyes did not hide the ambiguous speculation in them, patrolling Jia Huan and Caixia.

Qingwen was followed by Ruyi, Shishu, Cuimo, and a big girl she didn't know.

Ruyi's depressed flat mouth actually gave "competitors" to take advantage of it. It's disgusting.

Tanchun's two big maids, Shushu and Cuimo, glanced at each other: Qingwen said that she was the person in the house of the third master of Huan, I am afraid that she didn't have such a mind. She is still triumphant, look at Ruyi's reaction? The contrast is stark.

Jia Huan shook his head with a smile, beckoned them to come in, and relieved Caixia, "My mother punished my wife, and Caixia came to inform me." ”

Caixia had already been so ashamed that her face was crimson, and the blood was gushing on her neck, and when she saw the door getting out of the way, she hurriedly said goodbye and left quickly.

Qingwen giggled, very funny, she really just took Jia Huan as a friend in her heart now, and introduced Jia Huan: "This is Sister Cui Wei who follows Miss Shi." ”

Cui Wei is a plain-looking girl, she bowed to Jia Huan generously, and said with a smile: "Hello to the third master!" Our girl heard that the second master of Bao and Miss Lin said that the third master's words were well written, and sent me to ask for a story. ”

The word "ask" is much more polite than Daiyu.

Jia Huan's heart moved slightly, and said with a smile: "Not now, I'll write one in the evening, and I'll let Qingwen send it over." ”

Cui Wei smiled and nodded. Qingwen and Ruyi served tea, snacks, and dried fruits to the maids.

The waiter said, "Third master, the girl sent us both to thank you for your rouge." Let you have time to go to the house to play. ”

Cui Mo added a sentence and said with a smile: "There is also the appearance of Qingwen taking the shoes of the third master." The girl wants to make a pair of shoes for the third master. She is actually not afraid of Jia Huan, Jia Huan has an easy-going personality. What would you have to do with her? She was afraid of Qingwen's unforgiving mouth.

Jia Huan nodded lightly, "I'm sorry to tell the third sister." ”

Tanchun wants to make shoes for him, what does it mean?

Jia Huan had a feeling that Jia's mother would not let him go to ask for peace, isolating him from the power center of Jiafu, similar to exile. However, he understood that this isolation would only tear open a deep rift.

He will appear on the center stage of Jiafu in an alternative way: Aunt Zhao, Qingwen, Ruyi, Caixia, Tanchun, Shishu, Cuimo, Zijuan...

With the recent arrival of Shi Xiangyun, the twelve hairpins of Jinling in the Red Mansion, in addition to Jia Yuanchun and Miaoyu, have gathered in Jiafu. Of course, it was the 8th year of the Red Mansion, and the hairpins, Dai, Shi and others were all young, and they were not the same as the demeanor after the completion of the Grand View Garden.

There is a bit of a meaning of "the little lotus shows its sharp corners".

And he is the same. His current influence is about a good reputation among the maids. Further up is to influence the young master and girl, and then up is to influence the stewards of Sister Feng, Mrs. Wang, and Mother Jia.

Jia Huan did not deliberately pursue expanding his influence in Jiafu. His long-term goal is to leave Jiafu. But, the twelve hairpins gathered, didn't he want to see it in his heart? Anyway, he is also a person who has seen the Red Mansion.

At this time, it was still several years before he left the expected time of Jiafu.
