Chapter 21 Reciprocity

Aunt Zhao chatted about the time for a cup of tea. Seeing that her son just hummed and didn't answer, she felt very bored. After sitting for a while, she happily left with the box of rouge given by Jia Huan. She was the only one.

That temper is most likely just showing off.

When Hongling saw Aunt Zhao leaving, she whispered: "Not long after the third master went out today, my aunt went to the kitchen to make a fuss."

Jia Huan was not surprised by this, because she wouldn't be Aunt Zhao if she didn't make trouble. Although she was an old lady who was not in tune and had a bad mouth, her love for her son was genuine. She knew that she was being abused and bullied in the kitchen.

How can you not make trouble?

"What happened next?" Jia Huan asked.

Hongling said angrily: "Later, my aunt dragged Laiwang's daughter-in-law to stand in front of my wife to seek justice, but my wife just said that such a trivial matter was worth making trouble, so she sent my aunt away. My aunt was so angry that she came back and burst into tears."

When Jia Huan heard this, he couldn't help but shook his head secretly. Laiwang's daughter-in-law was Wang Xifeng's person, and Wang Xifeng was his wife's. Laiwang's daughter-in-law targeted him, which was obviously Wang Xifeng's secret instruction, and Wang Xifeng punished him because of Jia Baoyu, so

After all, Mrs. Wang is the "culprit" behind the scenes, and it is a joke for Aunt Zhao to seek justice from her!

Let me tell you a fashionable joke: Who in the hall is suing me?

Hong Ling looked at Jia Huan worriedly and said: "The lunch the kitchen gave us at noon today was also a lot worse. I'm afraid it will be like this in the future. Third Master, what do you think we should do?"

Hongling is eighteen years old this year, while Jia Huan is only seven years old, but at this time Hongling still can't help asking Jia Huan for advice. It is obvious that after this period of getting along, Hongling's subconscious no longer regards Jia Huan as a person.

Treated like an ordinary kid.

Jia Huan comforted: "Sister Hongling, don't worry, I will handle it well, believe me!"

Hong Ling nodded and reminded: "Although Third Master has a few taels of silver on hand now, how can he spend it with such lavish spending now? It is better to save more in the future, it is too wasteful!"

Jia Huan smiled and said: "Now I have a way to make money. Although I can't be prosperous, it's okay to work in the dental studio occasionally."

Hong Ling's heart moved and she blurted out: "Could it be that Third Master's paintings have been sold?"

Jia Huan nodded and said: "Good luck, I sold it for thirty taels of silver!"

"Thirty taels?" Hongling was so shocked that she covered her mouth with a look of disbelief. She knew that Jia Huan brought a total of four paintings out this time, which means that the four paintings were sold for thirty taels of silver. Oh my god.

!

"If I had known that Third Master's paintings were so valuable, I would have sold the portrait you painted for me last time as well." Hong Ling said excitedly.

Jia Huan said with a smile: "I'm just lucky today. I'm afraid the price won't be as high in the future. Besides, I gave you that painting. How can you sell it?"

"Thirty taels! Oh my god, thirty taels..." Hongling obviously hasn't recovered from the shock yet, and is talking to herself.

At this time, Xiaoque'er, the rough messenger maid who was sent to deliver the gifts, came back and said with a smile: "Third Master, everything has been given away. This plate of osmanthus cake was brought back by the third girl to the third master. Third girl asked the slave to bring it back to the third master."

I also asked my servant to bring you a message for Third Master."

Jia Huan took the plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"The third girl asked the servant to tell the third master that she is sorry. She knows about the kitchen incident. Let the third master rest assured that she will find a way to solve it."

Jia Huan couldn't help but feel warm after hearing this. In fact, he also understood that Jia Tanchun deceived him into Jia Mu's house yesterday. It was actually for his own good, so she didn't blame Jia Tanchun at all, and she offended Jia Baoyu because she temporarily "

The "nanny's heart" was at work and had nothing to do with Jia Tanchun. On the contrary, he proposed that Lin Daiyu and Jia Tanchun live together, which really caused trouble for Jia Tanchun.

"Third sister is out!" Jia Huan shook his head and smiled bitterly, while picking up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and taking a bite.

Xiao Queer gave Jia Huan the return gifts from Lin Daiyu, Jia Yingchun and Jia Xichun, which were an inkstone, a writing brush and a bookmark respectively. Among them, the inkstone was given by Lin Daiyu. It is an authentic Duanzhou inkstone and is worth a lot of money.

, which surprised Jia Huan.

Duanzhou is Zhaoqing, Guangdong. The Duan inkstone produced here is one of the four famous inkstones in China. It has been famous all over the world since the Tang Dynasty. It has a history of more than 1,300 years and is famous for its solid, smooth and delicate stone.

In the world, the ink is not stagnant and the ink is produced quickly. The ink is fine and smooth, and the writing is smooth without any damage. The color of the handwriting remains unchanged for a long time. No matter it is hot summer or severe winter, when you press the center of the inkstone with your hand, the center of the inkstone will be blue and dark green, and the water will remain the same.

The Qi does not dry out for a long time, so there is a saying of breathing in Qi to grind ink.

Jia Huan was an archeology major in his previous life. He had studied all the ancient inkstones unearthed from various dynasties, so he could tell at a glance that the Duan inkstone given by Lin Daiyu was of high quality in terms of texture and shape. Now I am afraid it would cost more than ten taels of silver.

, if it were auctioned later, it would easily be worth hundreds of thousands.

Therefore, Lin Daiyu's return gift is not light at all. Its value far exceeds the few small toys that Jia Huan bought on the street. It is probably to express her gratitude to Jia Huan for rescuing her yesterday.

Jia Huan played with the Duan Inkstone for a while, then put it on the desk and asked, "Didn't Brother Bao return the gift?"

Xiaoqueer shook her head and pouted, "Qingwen and the others usually talk about how nice and generous Mr. Bao is, but I think that Mr. Bao is very stingy and is reluctant to even give him a gift in return."

Jia Huan smiled nonchalantly. Jia Baoyu was not stingy. He was probably angry with himself. After all, he had messed up his good deeds yesterday. It was obvious that Jia Baoyu had no scheming intentions and did not hide his joy, anger, sorrow, and joy. But then again

Speaking of which, what scheming can an eight or nine-year-old child have? He, a monster who has lived in two lifetimes, is just an exception.

In fact, Jia Baoyu in the original work of "Dream of Red Mansions" is quite good. Not only is he handsome, but he is also quite talented. He is also very kind to people, especially to girls. He is gentle and considerate in every possible way, but he is too much for a man.

He is a bit of a "waste" and hates the official career economy. He only knows how to hang around in the gentle countryside, eating all day long and accomplishing nothing. When the Jia family falls, he can't even protect himself, let alone protect his sisters.

After Jia Huan sent the little chick out, he lay down on the bed to rest for a while, and then began to paint. Selling paintings was currently his only source of income, so naturally he had to work hard, and money was too easy to spend.

Although I earned thirty taels today, I spent five taels on a meal and another three taels on buying gifts for everyone. After excluding the ten taels of silver advanced to Tieniu, I only have twenty-three taels left on hand.

When the business opens, we will have to spend money to open a store and pay Tieniu, so the money on hand is far from enough.

…………

In the afternoon, Wang Xifeng came back from Dongfu in a sedan. She has a good relationship with Grandma Rong of Dongfu, also known as Qin Keqing. Today she was invited to Dongfu for a drink and a fight.

After a few rounds of cards, I came back. As soon as I walked in, I sniffed and said, "Hey, what does it smell like?"

Jia Lian was immediately startled, and said with a smile: "What smell? I only smell the smell of alcohol on you." After saying that, he leaned towards the side of Wang Xifeng's pink neck and inhaled hard.

Wang Xifeng's face suddenly turned red, she pushed Jia Lian away, and said angrily: "Go, go, let's go!"

Wang Xifeng was already beautiful, but after drinking, she became even more charming when she was shy. When Jia Lian saw this, he immediately became eager to move. Regardless of Ping'er's presence, he stepped forward and hugged Wang Xifeng's slender waist, wanting to have sex with her.

Er quickly turned around and slipped out.

Wang Xifeng was both ashamed and proud. She struggled to push Jia Lian away and said, "I just came back from outside, and I haven't changed my clothes yet... Friend, please stay aside and let me wash up first."

Jia Lian smiled and said: "Then hurry up!"

"Virtue!" Wang Xifeng poked a finger at Jia Lian's forehead, then walked out of the room quietly and ordered someone to prepare hot water.

Jia Lian watched Wang Xifeng walk out of the room, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed on the bed. He was secretly glad that he was smart and finally fooled him. However, he immediately woke up from something else and quickly got up on the pillow and quilt.

I rummaged around and if I saw any long hair, I quickly threw it under the bed.

It turns out that Jia Lian took advantage of Wang Xifeng's absence today and called Bao's second daughter-in-law to the house to connect people. The connection site was his and Wang Xifeng's big bed. Although it was cleaned and scented afterwards, Wang Xifeng was a delicate person, and Jia Lian was worried.

She discovered the flaw, so she quickly "checked for it and filled it in"!

More than half an hour later, Wang Xifeng finally finished taking a bath and was about to go back to the room to comfort her husband who was overwhelmed with grief. However, Laiwang's wife came and reported proudly: "After grandma went to Dongfu today, Aunt Zhao really ran to the kitchen to cause trouble.

Now, you’re dragging your slave to go to the madam’s house for comment!”

"What did Madam say?" Wang Xifeng asked with a sneer.

Laiwang's daughter-in-law laughed and said: "My wife just said lightly: Is such a trivial matter worth making trouble? Then she was sent away!"

Wang Xifeng chuckled when she heard this and said: "You are a fool who has been raised by slaves for generations. He really overestimates his abilities and actually wants to find his wife to seek justice."

Laiwang's wife laughed and said, "Aren't you asking for trouble!"

"That's it, I'm tired too." Wang Xifeng yawned and was about to send Laiwang's wife away, but the latter hesitated and said: "I heard that Huan Laosan went to the street today and bought a lot of food and wine and came back to honor Zhao.

Auntie, as well as all kinds of gadgets, gave all the girls a copy, even Mr. Bao also got a copy."

When Wang Xifeng heard this, her heart moved and she said with a smile: "Okay, you already know how to win people's hearts. As expected, you are a brat. I want to see what you can do with your little money."

Jia Huan's monthly income is only two taels of silver, and he is managed by the iron cock of Aunt Zhao. Now he only has the ten taels of silver that Jia Yucun awarded him, and the other two taels of silver beans that he gave him last time.
