Chapter 03 A hypocritical person with a kind face and a cruel heart

 Mother Jia was born with a kind face and kind eyes, which is similar to the ancestor in the TV series "A Dream of Red Mansions". She has a kind smile, but there is a shrewdness in her eyes. At first glance, she is a master who is not easy to fool.

Jia Huan knelt down on the ground and respectfully greeted the supreme ruler of Jia Mansion. The latter just nodded, told him not to be naughty again and sent him out.

Jia's mother's reaction is completely normal, and it is completely expected by Jia Huan. Jia Huan's predecessor was originally a dispensable little transparent person in the Jia family. Except for her mother, she was really a grandma who didn't kiss her uncle and didn't love her.

However, in the eyes of Jia's mother, she only paid attention to her grandson Jia Baoyu, who was born with a jade in her mouth. She never paid much attention to her grandson Jia Huan. Even if Jia Huan was seriously injured and dying, she only sent the maid Yuanyang who was serving him to come and visit.

Of course, Jia Huan does not care about Jia Mu's love, but thinks it is good, because in the future, he will be able to get rid of Jia's family and protect himself without any psychological pressure.

After Jia Huan came out from Jia Mu's place, she went to Mrs. Wang's residence to say hello. As soon as she entered the yard, a little maid with an oval face came up to her with a smile. She was about eleven or twelve years old and very beautiful. It was Wang.

Jin Chuan'er was serving beside the lady. As soon as Jin Chuan'er saw Jia Huan, she smiled happily and said, "Brother Huan is here by chance. My wife is setting rules for my aunt and grandma."

Jia Huan couldn't help but frown secretly. The aunt in Jin Chuan'er's mouth was naturally his biological mother, Aunt Zhao, and the so-called setting of rules was punishment. He didn't know how this cheap old lady offended Mrs. Wang.

At this time, another maid came close to Jia Huan's ear and whispered: "My aunt showed off a box of rouge that the master bought her in front of my wife today. My wife took one of my aunt's mistakes and set the rules, and she was already kneeling in it for half the time."

It’s been an hour, Brother Huan, be careful when you go in later, so as not to get into trouble with my wife.”

Jia Huan couldn't help but suddenly realized. He was surprised and a little speechless. He didn't expect that Jia Zheng, who usually always had a stinky face, would buy rouge for his concubine. It's not like he didn't have any sentiment at all. The fault was that he was not in tune.

My mother actually showed off the rouge in front of the royal family, Mrs. Wang. Isn’t this just lighting up the toilet - looking for shit? It’s strange that there are good things to eat.

But then again, it can be seen that Jia Zheng still loves Aunt Zhao relatively, but he and his first wife, Mrs. Wang, "respect each other as ice".

"Thank you sister Caixia, I don't have to." Jia Huan nodded and thanked the maid who kindly reminded him.

A strange color flashed in Caixia's eyes, and she smiled sweetly and said: "Master Huan, you're so polite."

Seeing Jia Huan enter the house, Jin Chuaner pulled Caixia and said curiously: "The sun is really shining in the west. This man seems to be different from before. Could it be that he was kicked by a donkey that day?"

Caixia nodded and said: "It does look different."

Jin Chuan'er's eyes rolled around and she said, "Caixia, you little hooves are so kind in reminding me, do you want to be Mr. Huan's roommate?"

Caixia has a delicate appearance, about the same age as Jin Chuan'er, and her appearance is one level better than Hongling. Her face heated up when she heard this and she said: "Don't talk nonsense, you coquettish hoof, it's your own idea, right?"

Jin Chuan'er curled her lips. Her ambition was to become Baoyu's housemate. As for Jia Huan, she still looked down upon him.

When Jia Huan entered the house, he first saw a slim young woman kneeling on the ground with her head bowed. She was less than thirty years old. She was her biological mother, Aunt Zhao, and a middle-aged woman dressed elegantly was sitting cross-legged.

Sitting on the couch, holding a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, he was twirling them while chatting with some decent old ladies next to him.

This noble lady is none other than the actual person in power in the back house of Jia's house. Jia Zheng's first wife, Mrs. Wang, is also Jia Huan's aunt.

Mrs. Wang was born in the Wang family of the four major families in Jinling. Her brother Wang Ziteng is now very proud and holds a high position. He is the banner figure of the four major families. Therefore, Mrs. Wang’s natal family has a very strong background. In the past two years, Mrs. Wang’s niece Wang Xifeng

She also married into the Jia family and became the second mistress of Lian. Now that the aunt and nephew are jointly managing the back house of the Jia family, Mrs. Wang's position in the family is naturally more stable.

Jia Huan was familiar with "A Dream of Red Mansions" in his previous life, so he naturally knew that although Mrs. Wang was famous for being a good person who ate fasting and chanted Buddha's name, cared for the elderly and the poor, she was actually kind-hearted and cruel. Later, Jin Chuan'er committed suicide by throwing herself into a well, and Qingwen died of illness.

Thanks to this "great benevolent man", as well as all the girls around Jia Baoyu, all the pretty ones were dealt with by her ruthlessly.

Mrs. Wang regards her only son Jia Baoyu as her support for the rest of her life and protects her like her lifeblood. If anyone touches Jia Baoyu's interests or threatens Jia Baoyu's status, she will immediately show her fierce fangs.

Jia Huan is only six years old now, with small arms and legs, and even self-protection is a problem. Naturally, he will not be stupid enough to make Mrs. Wang unhappy, so after entering the house, he did not look sideways, walked directly to the couch, knelt down, and knelt down firmly.

He rang his head three times and said, "Huan'er wishes my mother well."

In the feudal ethical society, the status of the principal wife was supreme, and the concubines could only be submissive. The children born to the concubines could call the principal wives their mothers, but they could only call their biological mothers their aunts. This meant that the concubines had more than just respect for their children.

No ownership, not even naming rights, it’s so cruel.

There is a description in "A Dream of Red Mansions". When Jia Zheng entered the house to see Mrs. Wang, it was Aunt Zhao who was in charge of opening the door curtain. This was the job of a servant. It can be seen that the status of the concubine was extremely low, not much higher than that of the maid. Since

If the status of a concubine is like this, then the status of a concubine is obviously not much higher.

Speaking of Mrs. Wang, seeing Jia Huan go up to the road like this and kowtow loudly, she felt a little happier. She nodded with a smile and said, "Brother Huan, get up. Is your injury healed?"

"Go back to mother, Huan'er is already well." Jia Huan replied.

"Well, that's good. Don't be naughty in the future. Go and be naughty. You don't have to go to school for the time being. Wait until you have a good time before going to avoid a recurrence of the disease." Mrs. Wang said very "considerately". She wished that Jia Huan could be a loose man without doing his job.

Children.

"Yes, mother!" Jia Huan glanced at Aunt Zhao who was kneeling on her, and then slowly withdrew.

Mrs. Wang was a little calmer now, and Aunt Zhao had been kneeling for most of an hour, so she said calmly: "Get up, children are more sensible than you."

Aunt Zhao stood up as if she was receiving an amnesty. Her legs were probably numb, and her feet gave out. She almost sat down on the ground. The maids and wives in the room couldn't help covering their mouths and snickering, and Mrs. Wang also had a smile on her lips.

Meaning.

Aunt Zhao's face was full of shame, she dared not speak out when she was angry, she lowered her head and stood aside.

Mrs. Wang's companion, Zhou Rui's family, said with a smile: "Brother Huan seems to be more energetic since he was kicked by the donkey. Madam, do you think it's strange?"

Mrs. Wang nodded calmly. Jia Huan did seem to be more energetic, but it was still far behind her own Baoyu, so she didn't take it to heart. At this time, Jia Huan could not threaten Baoyu's status and was not qualified.

Threaten Baoyu's status.

The Zhou Rui family was also very knowledgeable. Seeing that Mrs. Wang was not interested, they changed the subject and said, "I heard that the cousin of Mr. Lin's family left for Beijing last month. She should be able to arrive at the end of this month."

Mrs. Wang shook her head and said: "Miss Lin is young and weak, so she shouldn't be in a hurry. It is estimated that she will not arrive until early next month..."

…………

Jia Huan left Mrs. Wang's yard and breathed out softly. He didn't like to kowtow to others in a low voice, but the situation was stronger than others, so he could only do as the Romans did. Until he was not strong enough to ignore the rules,

It's better to be a quiet little quail.

Jia Huan did not intercede for Aunt Zhao, not because he was cold or heartless, but because he knew that Mrs. Wang was a kind-faced and cruel hypocrite. If he interceded for Aunt Zhao, it would be counterproductive, so he might as well behave towards Mrs. Wang.

If you have to be more respectful, Aunt Zhao might be able to suffer less.

Jia Huan calmed down and walked to Jia Zheng's study "Mengpo Xuan".

Jia Zheng currently holds the position of Yuanwailang of the Ministry of Industry, ranking from the fifth rank. He originally became an official by virtue of his official position, and did not obtain his fame through the imperial examination. Therefore, Jia Zheng's academic level is questionable. However, the books in Jia Zheng's study are genuine.

There are many types and huge quantities, but I don’t know whether he really loves reading, or whether it is just for appearance. Anyway, whenever Mr. Zheng has free time, he will chat with those Qingqi in the study.

The so-called free talk, to put it nicely, means to point out the country and inspire people to write, but to put it badly, it means being idle and boring.

Jia Zheng kept a group of Qingqing in the palace to accompany him to chat. Every day when he got home from the Yamen, they would gather together and talk loudly. In addition to passing the time, he also showed his superiority to others.

Jia Zheng went to court today and has not returned yet, so only a few Qing guests were chatting in the flower hall outside the study. As soon as Jia Huan entered the flower hall, he immediately attracted the attention of several Qing guests.

"Hey, isn't this Brother Huan? What kind of wind brings you here!" A Qingke with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks asked jokingly.

This person's name is Zhan Guang, and the two people playing chess next to him are named Cheng Rixing and Fu Gui. They all looked surprised at this time. Because Jia Zheng is very serious on weekdays, and is even more strict with his children, not only do people stay away from the players, but also he is very strict with his children.

Even Jia Baoyu, who was favored and blessed by his ancestors, was like a mouse meeting a cat when meeting his father Jia Zheng, especially Jia Huan.

Now, Jia Huan actually came here on his own initiative. Zhan Guang and others were naturally surprised, but they didn't know that this Jia Huan was no longer the other Jia Huan.

I saw Jia Huan smiled calmly and said: "Several gentlemen are talking in hand. Excuse me. Huan'er has been meditating on "Zengguang Xianwen" recently and couldn't let go of the scroll. Unfortunately, he accidentally dropped it into the bathtub and got wet. Now he is

Try to dry it. When you wake up, the master must have this book here, so I want to borrow it temporarily."

As soon as these words came out, Zhan Guang and others couldn't help laughing. Jia Huan was known to be naughty and didn't like reading the most. He usually muddle along in ethnic studies and cause trouble. Now he was so bold and said that he "couldn't let go of the book". It's really

Shameless!

"Brother Huan, tell me the truth, are you naughty and have lost the book, so you came to the master to borrow one to replenish your balance?" Zhan Guang looked at Jia Huan with a smile.
