Chapter 08 Sister Lin is coming into the house
Jia Tanchun was very happy at the moment, smiling like a flower, with bright eyes and white teeth. She was very beautiful. Jia Huan couldn't help but silently praised his elder sister. When she grows up to ten years old, she will definitely be an eighty-year-old.
A great beauty with a rating of five or more is worthy of being one of the twelve beauties of Jinling rated by Cao Gong.
At this time, Jia Huan couldn't help but think of Jia Tanchun's judgment: Talent comes from being shrewd and ambitious, and he was born in the end of the world when his luck has faded. Looking at the riverside with tears in his eyes during the Qingming Festival, a thousand miles of east wind is just a dream away.
There is a painting behind the verdict, which shows two people flying kites, a vast ocean, a big boat, and a woman on the boat covering her face and crying.
It is obvious that Jia Tanchun's final fate is to marry overseas. From then on, the mountains are high and the road is far away, and it is difficult to get together again. Moreover, Jia Tanchun is alone and married in a foreign country. He is helpless and has an uncertain future.
There’s no way of knowing, it’s likely to be a sad ending.
When he first read "A Dream of Red Mansions" as an outsider, Jia Huan also lamented over Jia Tanchun's distant marriage. Little did he know that the world is unpredictable, but now he has become a character in the book, and he is also Jia Tanchun's younger brother. Naturally, he is in a great mood.
It’s different. Not only is it a pity, but there is also reluctance and reluctance.
Perhaps at this moment, Jia Huan has truly assumed the identity of the original owner, and has developed a close relationship of flesh and blood. He begins to worry about his sister's future and fate.
Before this, Jia Huan thought that if he left Jia's house in the future, he would bring his biological mother, Aunt Zhao, with him, but now, it is estimated that there is another Jia Tanchun.
Jia Tanchun seemed to notice the complicated emotions in Jia Huan's eyes, and asked softly: "Brother Huan, what's wrong?"
Jia Huan quickly smiled and said: "It's nothing. It seems that we brothers and sisters have never tried to talk to each other like this before."
Jia Tanchun's nose was slightly sore after hearing this. He took out a rope from the sachet tied around his waist and said softly: "Brother Huan, please lift your feet up and I will measure you."
Jia Huan lifted his feet as he was told. Jia Tanchun carefully measured the size of his feet and waist. He said softly: "I am free right now. I will make two pairs of insoles for you, brother Huan, and then make two more."
A sweat towel, it will come in handy during the Chinese New Year."
Women in ancient times, whether they came from a poor family or were a lady, needed to learn needlework, and Jia Tanchun was obviously no exception. According to the description in the book "A Dream of Red Mansions", the ornaments worn by the girls in the Jia family
They are all made by themselves or by their maids, especially Jia Baoyu, who is very picky. The items he wears must be made by his sisters or his maids, and anything made by outsiders is not allowed as it is too dirty.
"Thank you, third sister!" Jia Huan quickly thanked her. I remember that in the original work, Jia Tanchun only made insoles for Jia Baoyu, but her younger brother Jia Huan did not receive such treatment. For this, Aunt Zhao also scolded Jia Tanchun.
Fan.
Jia Tanchun said with a smile: "Brother Huan painted my portrait, and I made sweat towels and insoles for him. It's just reciprocation. Why should Brother Huan be so polite?"
Jia Tanchun put away the ruler and sat down again. The two siblings started chatting again. The former suddenly woke up from something and said, "I heard that Miss Lin will be arriving in the next few days. Brother Huan, do you know?"
Jia Huan shook his head, is Lin Daiyu going to enter Jia's house? It's worth looking forward to, but that's all. To be honest, Sister Lin is definitely talented and beautiful, but she is sensitive, suspicious, and loves to play tricks.
The temperament problem is really not the type that Jia Huan likes, not to mention that Sister Lin is only eight or nine years old at this time. How can Jia Huan appreciate a yellow-haired girl who is sick, cries, and loves to act small?
?On the other hand, the dignified, generous, steady and decent sister Leng Meirenbao makes Jia Huan look forward to it even more.
"I heard that Sister Lin is not only very good-looking, but also knowledgeable and courteous. She is a first-class person. She just loves to cry too much. Alas, it's a pity that my aunt died at birth. Now Sister Lin is divorced again.
Uncle, it’s so pitiful to go to Beijing alone and live under someone else’s roof!” Jia Tanchun sighed softly.
Jia Huan smiled and said: "Then sister will get along well with Sister Lin from now on, and help her solve problems more often."
Jia Tanchun glanced at Jia Huan and said, "Brother Huan, don't stay in the house all the time. Brothers and sisters should move around more."
Obviously, Jia Tanchun was tactfully reminding Jia Huan to have a good relationship with Jia Baoyu and the sisters.
Jia Huan smiled and said: "I will."
When Jia Tanchun saw that Jia Huan had listened, she couldn't help but smile with relief. After chatting for a while, she braved the wind and snow and left. She currently lives with Jia's mother, her second sister Jia Yingchun, and her fourth sister Jia Tanchun.
Xichun also lived in Jia Mu's yard, and her widowed sister-in-law Li Wan usually took care of her to read, read, and do needlework. As for her eldest sister, Jia Yuanchun, she had been selected into the palace to serve as the female historian.
After the Laba Festival, the New Year is getting closer and closer, and the flavor of the New Year is getting stronger and stronger. Beijing, as the political and cultural center of the Jin Dynasty, is the most prosperous place, with a population of more than one million, and people are coming to the streets and alleys.
People are coming, it’s lively and breathtaking.
Jia Huan deliberately went shopping in the past few days, hoping to find business opportunities to make a fortune. Unfortunately, he didn't have a clue yet, but he had a more concrete impression of the capital city of the Jin Dynasty. He should first familiarize himself with the environment.
Well, in a big city with such a large population, there must be many opportunities to make money. I believe that with my knowledge that is hundreds of years ahead of my time, I will definitely be able to find a way to make a fortune in the end. The key is to prepare the start-up capital.
This day was the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month. Jia Huan finished exercising as usual, greeted Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, and then went to Zheng's study room "Mengpo Xuan" to return books.
It is said that since the last time he borrowed a book, Jia Huan went to borrow it several times. It is probably that Jia Zheng turned a blind eye to this, so Zhan Guang and other Qing guests did not stop him. Every time Jia Huan came
Everyone who borrowed books readily opened the door and let them go. After going back and forth, everyone became familiar with each other, and they talked and laughed when they met. Jia Huan occasionally chatted with the Qingkemen for a few games, and actually won more than he lost, which made those guys "
"Shocking to Heaven".
Hehe, if Jia Huan's Go level in his previous life is divided according to modern standards, there are at least five levels of professional players. Zhan Guang and Cheng Riching and other Qing players are probably only amateur seven or eight levels with the highest level. If Jia Huan is willing, he can completely dominate it.
They just want to avoid being too public, so they only lose a few times occasionally.
Let's say that Jia Huan came to the flower hall outside Mengpo Xuan and found Zhan Guang, Fu Gui and others sunbathing outside the door. He stepped forward and said with a smile: "Old Zhan, old Fu and old Cheng, why are you all standing here?"
Everyone has become familiar with each other, and the names are casual. Jia Huan now calls him Lao Zhan, Lao Cheng, etc. However, something is a little unusual today. The faces of all the Qing guests changed slightly when they heard this, and they all raised their fingers to their mouths to signal Jia Huan.
Ring silence.
Jia Huan immediately understood, I bet Jia Zheng is at home today, and it seems that there are important guests coming, otherwise Zhan Guang and others must be chatting with Father Zheng in the house at this moment, instead of blowing the cold wind outside the gate.
Sure enough, Cheng Riching gritted his teeth and whispered: "Master Huan, my little ancestor, please keep your voice down. I am waiting for guests, so I carefully alerted the people inside."
Jia Huan immediately pushed the few books he borrowed last time into Cheng Rixing's hands, then turned around and left. Although he was not afraid of Jia Zheng, he did not want to meet this cheap dad who kept a straight face all day long if it was not necessary.
So boring!
However, things went against expectations. Just as Jia Huan was about to leave, a servant came out with an unkind expression. It was Li Shier, Jia Zheng's eldest attendant. He frowned and said, "Master, who is making the noise?"<
/p>
Jia Huan paused and turned around slowly. Li Shier snorted slightly and said with a hint of sarcasm: "It turns out it's Brother Huan who came here to be naughty without even looking at where this place is. Okay."
No rules!"
This Li Shi'er is about thirty years old and has been serving as Jia Zheng's attendant for nearly ten years. The rule of the Jia family is that servants who have served an older master are often more honorable than the younger master, so
This Li Shi'er is very proud and doesn't pay much attention to Jia Huan, a bastard.
Jia Huan secretly frowned and said calmly: "I'm not naughty, I just came to return the book."
When Li Shier saw that Jia Huan still dared to talk back, he immediately became upset and said with an ouch: "Master Huan has indeed made great progress. He has come to borrow books from the master to read. Just wait and see what the master says." After that, he turned around and went in.
Here we go.
Zhan Guang and others all looked at Jia Huan with sympathy. This man was originally extraordinary, but he was born as a bastard. Otherwise, he would have made great achievements in the future, but now he was looked down upon by a servant.
Jia Huan was very calm, standing calmly on the spot, leaning slightly, Li Shier came out again, gloating: "The master has asked Brother Huan to come in, please!"
Jia Huan walked into the flower hall calmly. When Li Shier saw this, he was surprised and his teeth were itchy. He thought to himself: "This brat has some skills. Don't be scared to death by the master you meet later!"
Let's say that when Jia Huan entered the flower hall, he saw the dignified old man Zheng sitting facing south. He had a good appearance, an upright face, not angry and self-respecting, and sitting next to the coffee table on the right hand side was a middle-aged man with the same dignified appearance.
, elegant in temperament, with a smile on his face, looking at Jia Huan up and down.
"Huan'er has met the master!" Although Jia Huan was reluctant, he could only kneel down and kowtow.
Jia Zheng shouted in a deep voice: "You evil beast, this is Mr. Jia, why don't you show me your courtesy quickly?"
Jia Huan's heart was moved, could this be Jia Yucun, the second-fifth son? Yes, Tanchun said that Lin Daiyu would be arriving in the next few days, and Jia Yucun had been working as a teacher for Lin Daiyu in the Lin family, and later he accompanied Lin Daiyu
The purpose of going to Beijing is to use the Jia family's connections to make a comeback.
"Jia Huan has met Mr. Jia!" Jia Huan bowed to Jia Yucun and thought, since Jia Yucun is here, Lin Daiyu should also enter the house today. No wonder she heard the commotion early in the morning.<
/p>
Jia Yucun stroked his beard and smiled and said: "Brother Cunzhou, could this be the young master who was born with a jade in your palace? He is indeed a talented and extraordinary man. You can tell at a glance that he is not a thing in the pond. He will definitely fly away one day."
