The Ring of the Red Chamber and the Nine Heavens

Seeing that after the new year, Aunt Zhao is going to give birth, but Jia Huan is worried.

What are you worried about?Worry about money.

Jia Huan now has a monthly bill of two taels of silver and pocket money for buying paper, pens and stationery of eight taels of silver. Aunt Zhao used to manage it, but now they live separately. It's much better than before, and there is a big pot of food in Jia's house for everything. Jia Huan actually has no use for spending money. Almost all the ten taels of silver a month have been saved. After a few months, I have now The 50 taels of silver is not like Jia Baoyu, who spends it all every month, and I don't know where it is used to fill the mouse hole.

However, 50 taels of silver is far from enough to do such a big event that makes people excited just thinking about it.

Every night, like a money fan, Jia Huan counted the broken silver in an iron box specially used to save money, and then, with a constipated expression on his face as if he had a toothache, he thought gloomily: "There In less than a month, my mother will give birth, but where can I go to get some more money so that I can buy two pieces of high-quality jade?"

Why does Jia Huan want to buy jade?

The reason is simple, in order to fake.

First mix with the midwife who delivered the baby, and when Aunt Zhao gave birth, she stuffed each of the prepared two pieces of jade into the mouths of the two little hairy heads that Aunt Zhao gave birth to. Shout "Baoyu reappears! Auspicious Yumian!" to raise the value of the newborn brother or sister.

It is said that Jia Baoyu was born with a psychic gem in his mouth, so he was regarded as auspicious by Jia's mother and others, and he boasted about it as a rare and decent thing everywhere. Everyone praised Jia Baoyu who was born at that time as a child. Jia Baoyu himself felt very proud of being possessed by a lucky star. When he saw strangers before the age of ten, especially his older sisters, his opening greeting would be: "Do you have any jade?" We all know.

As for the time when Jia Huan was born, it was more sad.The straw-headed Aunt Zhao doesn't know how to play tricks, let alone how to fight for the rights and interests of her concubine son in a reasonable and orderly manner, so that Jia Huan, who is eight or nine years old, is in a situation where his father doesn't care about him, his grandmother doesn't care for him, and no one cares about him. He was killed by a high fever, and he was reborn later.

Jia Huan didn't want to make his newborn brother or sister suffer from such suffering again, so he came up with such a bad idea, asking the younger brother or sister to be born with a piece of jade in their mouths, paraphrasing and extending a familiar advertisement Language: Only when everyone is good is it really good;Only Jia Baoyu was unfair, and it was unscientific.

Jia Huan sometimes wonders why these two younger brothers or sisters who are about to be born are so lucky. When they meet a good brother like him who has planned everything before and after and is dedicated to him, he wants to admire himself and wish he could On behalf of the brothers and sisters, I bowed to myself and thanked myself.

However, planning alone is useless, easier said than done.

Or to change it into a modern popular saying, the ideal is plump, but the reality is skinny.Once the ideal is put into practice, the tragedy of a penny-dead hero will be vividly staged on Jia Huan.

Jia Huan thought that since it was to be stuffed into the mouths of younger siblings and pretend to be auspicious jade, the material must not be too bad, at least not lower than Jia Baoyu's "Psychic Jade", otherwise it would look like a fake and shoddy product. Can Jia Mu and other old people believe it?

However, gold has a price and jade is priceless. Good jade is very expensive.

Jia Huan went to a jade store to inquire about it, and the best one was fine, he didn't even bother to ask the price, and he couldn't afford it after seeing it.Just buy the one that looks slightly higher than the psychic gem. It is estimated that it will cost at least 1000 taels of silver to buy two small pieces.

Jia Huan pawned the two Ru Kiln Brush Washers and Jade Buddha Hands that Daiyu gave him, which seemed to be worth two yuan, and got 500 taels of silver, which is not bad. To be honest, unlike Baochai, he just brought some worthless things.But I will not mention it for the time being, there is still a gap of 440 taels of silver, what should I do?

Jia Huan is so sad that she loses her hair.

On this day, Jia Huan came back to his room after school. Before he could even change his clothes, he saw Zhenhui come in and said respectfully, "Third Master, the boy outside the second gate called Chuanxin to come in and say , Master told you to go."

Zhenhui was Wang Xifeng's servant girl, Si'er, who was appointed by Wang Xifeng to serve Jia Huan. Jia Huan later changed her name to a more elegant name, and the other who knew how to do needlework was renamed Baosheng. Both maids were honest and willing to work. It's not like those maids in Baoyu's house who have high eyesight and low hands, sharp mouths, but are lazy and have a bad temper one by one.

When Jia Huan heard that Jia Zheng was looking for him, although he didn't know why, he didn't dare to delay, put down his book bag and went out.

Who knew that before reaching Jia Zheng's outer study, he was dragged over by someone, and at the same time he heard "hehehe" laughter uncontrollably coming from a certain wide chest.

It's not the big fool Xue Pan, but who is it!

When Jia Huan saw that it was Xue Pan, he rolled his eyes and said angrily, "I don't know who it is, so it's Brother Xue! It's not easy for you to call me out, so why bother using my father's name to scare me out!"

Xue Pan continued to giggle, and said, "Both brothers Baoyu and you are generally afraid of Daddy! I used my uncle's name to coax you out quickly, lest you dawdle."

Jia Huan said bitterly: "Don't be so wicked, okay?" Even though he said so, Jia Huan was very happy in his heart. On Xue Pan's forehead were written "People are stupid, rich, come quickly" Since he delivered the label to your door today, it seems that the gap of more than 400 taels of silver has been settled. I don’t know if he will lend it to me. It's not easy to speak.

Jia Huan said, "Tell me, what do you want from me?"

Xue Pan said: "Let's go, everyone is waiting for you outside today, let's go out and find someone who can eat and have fun, drink and talk."

Although Jia Huan knew that Xue Pan had Longyang's preferences and was considered bisexual, Jia Huan also knew that Xue Pan's playing style was relatively high quality, and he generally paid attention to his love and status, no matter where he came from. On the one hand, he doesn't want to pester Jia Huan, so when he goes out with Xue Pan, it's a big deal to see him hugging left and right, but Jia Huan's own chrysanthemum should be safe.

Sure enough, Xue Pan took Jia Huan and a few former schoolmates to a luxurious restaurant. While waiting for the dishes to be served, everyone knew that Xue Pan and Jia Baoyu had planned to celebrate the festival, so they criticized and denounced Jia. Baoyu.

Jia Huan just lazily said nothing.Xue Pan was a little dissatisfied and said, "What? Are you not happy to hear us say bad things about your brother behind your back? Don't say a word?"

Jia Huan sneered and said, "Why should I be upset about him? He is him and I am me."

Xue Pan said: "Then you have been silent, and we thought you were upset that we talked about him."

Jia Huan sneered and said: "Forget it, Boss Xue also knows that he has no brotherhood towards me, why should I protect him? I just think, what's the use of talking behind the scenes, can it cause headaches or muscle pain? I don't like this After muttering behind his back, he swallowed his breath. In other words, you can’t show him some color in person, and can’t you plan behind your back?”

Xue Pan heard the smell, and couldn't help but move in his heart: This kid is the most scheming, do you want to ask him to give an idea on how to deal with Jia Baoyu, and let out a bad breath like he was kicked out of school last time?

After the waiters in the shop brought a large table of delicious cold or hot dishes one after another, several people began to munch around the table and chat about some recent new things at the same time.

One person said: "Once Grandma Xiaorong in the East Mansion died, it was a mess. Grandma Zhen was also sick, and everything was ignored."

Jia Huan also knew about this, because Qin Zhong took a few days off and didn't come to the school, the master started to feel a little unhappy, saying that he was going to be a child student soon, how could he be lazy, and later found out that Qin Zhong's sister, Qin Keqing, died Yes, it was a sigh, and no one dared to deny his falsehood.

Even Jia Baoyu wanted to go to the East Mansion under the pretext of going to the East Mansion for visits and often asked for leave. It is said that a nephew and daughter-in-law died. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you, Jia Baoyu, a little uncle who is related to you, to run away all the time?However, Master thought about his identity, so he turned a blind eye to him.

On the contrary, the maids in Jia Baoyu's room complained even more, because Jia Baoyu often came back in the middle of the night when he went to Dongfu, saying that he wanted to accompany Mr. Qin so that he would not be too sad.The maids didn't dare to go to bed by themselves before the master came back, and had to wait with their eyelids open, so sometimes several maids complained to each other and poured out bitterness, even Jia Huan had heard of it.

Jia Huan just sneered in his heart, and what he said was high-sounding, Jia Baoyu wouldn't comfort Qin Zhong and just go to bed?It's still possible, Qin Zhong is a shameless thing, it doesn't matter if his sister is dead, even if his father is dead, he can throw everything away and have sex with Jia Baoyu.It's no wonder that Jia Baoyu was so happy that he forgot to return!

Just as they were talking, another person interjected, "I don't know if it's a real illness or a mental illness." This was referring to You Shi, which meant that she might have realized that her husband Jia Zhen was having an affair with her daughter-in-law Qin Keqing, so she was ashamed to excuse her illness.Although the man was vague, he fully expressed this scandal that was difficult to dig into deeply through just the right pauses and rich facial expressions.

So, several people rushed up and asked, "What's going on? What's going on? Is there really something about picking up ashes?"

The man held back for a long time before he said: "If it's true, I didn't see it with my own eyes, so I dare not talk nonsense. It was when I passed by the East Mansion that day that I heard them beating Jiao Da. He stopped and listened. Jiao Da, do you know? He used to serve Ning Guogong’s old family. He loved to brag about how he carried his wounded master on his back to escape. The only water he had was for his master to drink. He drank horse urine by himself. That’s right. Jiao Da, relying on his merits, doesn’t even look down on Uncle Zhen, let alone Brother Rong. He always bumps into Brother Rong. On that day, they quarreled again. Jiao Dao said, “The old slave wants to Go to the ancestral hall to cry for the grandfather, and see what bastards are raised in this mansion! Those who pick up ashes pick up ashes, and those who raise younger uncles raise younger uncles. Brother Rong was so angry that he ordered the boys to stuff his mouth with horse manure. I thought about it So, where there is no wind, there is no wave, maybe there are some shadows."

Everyone's interest was immediately high, and they started active reasoning around the sentence "the one who picks up the ashes, and the one who raises the younger brother-in-law raises the younger uncle", guessing who is picking up the ashes and raising the younger brother-in-law.

Picking up ashes, the point is clear, it is the father-in-law who is messing with the daughter-in-law, and there is no one else, but Jia Zhen is messing with Qin Keqing, but the latter sentence is hard to say, "raise a younger uncle", it may refer to Qin Keqing and Jia Rong Cousin Jia Qiang, maybe Wang Xifeng and Jia Baoyu, or even Wang Xifeng and Jia Rong Jia Qiang, maybe Jiao Da mistaken his generation and mistaken his nephew for his uncle.

For a while the atmosphere was warm.

Jia Huan has a good relationship with Wang Xifeng now, and at the same time, he also knows that Wang Xifeng is very busy all day long and worrying about giving birth to a son. I don't know, Lian's second sister-in-law is a decent person, how can there be such a mess, you made it up to nothing."

The crowd stopped talking about Wang Xifeng, and the final deduction became that Qin Keqing interjected in many ways, was raped by her father-in-law, and had an affair with Jia Qiang. Those two sentences were actually about her, and everyone recalled Qin Keqing's beautiful appearance before her death, although she was disrespectful to the deceased, she couldn't help her male instinct, and the voices of swallowing saliva kept coming and going.

Hearing that Xue Pan thought of Qin Keqing's younger brother Qin Zhonglai again, his elder sister was a prodigal, and his younger brother was not bad, and when they played it, it was called "build a house on the sea-the waves are at home", Xue Pan couldn't help but feel a fire in his lower abdomen. As if, wanting to overthrow Jia Baoyu, the desire to snatch that little rogue back became more and more active.
