The Ring of the Red Chamber and the Nine Heavens

Lin Ruhai talked about the story at length, to the effect that: the emperor recruited Lin Ruhai today, and besides praising him for his achievements in helping the King of Qin raise donations, he also asked obliquely how his illness was cured.Lin Ruhai was really in a dilemma. He didn't want to tell about Huan'er, but the emperor kept staring at him, threatening not to deceive the emperor, and saying sadly that he didn't want white-haired people to give black-haired people away. , I want to cure my son's illness no matter what.Lin Ruhai couldn't make it through, so he could only vaguely say that he would have to wait a day or two before replying, so he hurried to discuss with Jia Huan, who was also in the game.

Jia Huan murmured and said, "Uncle, you have seen a lot, and in your opinion, what should we do about this matter?"

Lin Ruhai said: "Uncle didn't betray you because he was afraid that the emperor would be demoted and dismissed. Huan'er, you know that uncle is a bit arrogant. As long as you don't want to, uncle will never force you to do it." However, my uncle thinks His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is worth saving. I was in the capital before the Crown Prince fell ill, and I had a lot of contact with him. He is smart and wise, and indeed has the ability to manage the country and the world. Ruohuaner, you can really save the Prince’s life from danger. At the same time, it has also done a great thing that benefits the country and the people."

Jia Huan intuitively felt that this matter would have a great impact on Qi Qian, so he couldn't help hesitating, and hesitantly said to Lin Ruhai: "This matter is unusual, let me think about it."

Afterwards, Jia Huan took two confidantes to the villa where he met Qi Qian yesterday, but he didn't see Qi Qian, only saw him on Friday, and then he knew that Qi Qian was leaving early this morning, and it would take five or six days. to come back.

Jia Huan thought for a long time, thinking that the three closest people mentioned by Qi Qian included the prince, and at the same time he also said that he hoped that the prince's illness would be rescued, so he broke his heart and said to Lin Ruhai who was waiting for an answer: "Okay, I will listen to my uncle. of."

------------Dividing line----------

The emperor didn't expect that the "superior" brought by Lin Ruhai was actually a boy of twelve or thirteen years old, he was very surprised, and then he saw that this person didn't give a pulse or look at his face, he just made a pill and asked the prince to take it , Said that there will be another dose in two days.The emperor didn't care much about it at this time, but asked his servant to use a silver needle to test the pill and it was non-toxic, then developed it and told the prince to take it. Unexpectedly, the prince, who was still hanging on his breath, spoke at night, and said Hungry and wanted porridge, this was clearly a sign of improvement, and the emperor was overjoyed, he rewarded Lin Ruhai and Jia Huan with many gold and jade gadgets, and ordered someone to recall the emperor’s eldest grandson, Qi Pei, who was worshiping Buddha and praying for blessings in a temple in the suburbs of the capital. , and sent a message to Qi Qian, the king of Qin, who was traveling in search of immortals and strangers in famous mountains and rivers in other provinces, and ordered him to return to Beijing.

Here, Jia's mansion is like a boiling pot of boiling water. Everyone is talking about it. It is reasonable for the emperor to reward Lin Hai with many things. After all, he is an important minister of the court. ?He is a brat, how did he get the emperor's sacred heart?

Mother Jia summoned Jia Huan, and asked about it kindly. Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Wang Xifeng and others were seated there, all of whom had a strong intention to explore.

Jia Huan was hesitating, wondering how he should explain to everyone how he became a genius doctor and healed His Royal Highness, when suddenly a group of maids rushed in from the door and hurriedly shouted: "It's terrible, it's terrible! A large group of soldiers came outside, shouting to come in!"

Mother Jia didn't bother to inquire about Jia Huan, and hurriedly helped the maid out of the room to see what happened. At that moment, the housekeeper Lin Zhixiao ran over quickly, clutching his hat, and said out of breath, "Old lady! It's His Royal Highness the eldest grandson of the emperor who came to our house." Come on, hurry up, tell the masters to come out and kneel down!"

Jia's mother shook her fingers and said, "Then go and call the master, tell me what to say! A bunch of waste, when it comes to critical times, they will all become panic-stricken chickens!"

Jia's mother said to herself: "Emperor's eldest grandson? We have never had any contact with this little highness in our house. How could we find him so well? Could it be that Baoyu offended someone outside? This little villain is really Will it cause trouble for me?"

During this time, Madam Wang was disgraced at home because of Baoyu, and her status was declining steadily. After Jia She and her family moved into Rongxi Hall, they began to rob the housekeeper. , I don't want to protect like before.At this time, seeing Jia's mother say Baoyu like this, I was really excited. Baoyu is her face, how can she do it if she doesn't protect it?

Mrs. Wang smiled and said to Jia Mu: "The old lady has wronged Baoyu this time. He has never been out of the house all this time. How could he offend His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson of the emperor?"

Jia Mu put on a straight face and said, "Who knows? I love Baoyu that child so much. He just wants to make trouble for me. It really makes me half ashamed."

The more she debated, the more shameless she became. Mrs. Wang had nothing to say when her mother-in-law scolded her precious son in front of many people, so she simply covered her face and began to cry.

Jia's mother became more and more impatient, and said: "Usually you are reasonable, why are you becoming more and more confused now? Baoyu is not good, your mother should teach him more, what's the point of crying in front of me?" Use? Could it be that if you cry for a while, Baoyu can correct many problems by himself?"

Mrs. Wang wished she could grab the land with her head.

When Jia's mother was still wondering, she saw Jia Zheng running towards him profusely in sweat, shouting loudly, "Where is Huan'er? Where is Huan'er? His Royal Highness wants to see Huan'er by name!"

Jia Mu grabbed Jia Huan in a panic, her eyes spit fire, and said, "You and Baoyu are more worried than the other! If Baoyu messed with the King of Qin, you'll mess with the emperor's eldest grandson, right? Is the Jia family heading for a dead end? What a bunch of prodigal descendants, what crime have I done!"

Jia Zheng hurriedly said: "Mother, don't get caught up! Hurry up and ask Huan'er to see His Highness, it's serious!"

Jia Zheng took Jia Huan and rushed to the main hall of Rongxi Hall, only to see that Jia She and Jia Lian were all dressed upright, bowed their waists, and forced their hands to stand on a man in an apricot-yellow python robe with his hands behind his back. behind.

When Jia She saw Jia Zheng and Jia Huan coming, he said happily, "Your Highness, they are here."

The man turned around.

Only then did Jia Huan see his whole appearance clearly. It turned out to be an extremely handsome young man, half a head taller than Jia Huan. Women are not allowed to be beautiful.

Jia Amnesty hurriedly mentioned Jia Huan and said urgently, "Hurry up and pay homage to His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson!"

Jia Huan was about to kneel down, but the eldest grandson of the emperor stepped forward and held Jia Huan to prevent him from kneeling down, saying: "Don't do that! You saved my father's life, and it's a kindness for me. , and please accept my worship!"

As he said that, under the astonished eyes of everyone, the eldest grandson of the emperor made a deep bow to Jia Huan, which scared Jia Zheng, Jia She and others to scream: "No way! No way! Your Highness is like this, but he was killed! "

Rao Jia Huan didn't know how to deal with this situation, and stayed on the ground at a loss.Seeing Jia Zheng, Jia Amnesty and others knelt down again, Jia Huan also knelt down.

Sun Qipei, the emperor's eldest son, said: "No courtesy! No courtesy! Stop kneeling! I want to say a few words to my benefactor."

Jia pardoned Jia Zheng and took Jia Lian and a group of people from the Jia family out.

Qi Pei stared at Jia Huan slightly with a smile, and said, "It can be said that I can say a few words in peace."

Jia Huan lowered his hands and said respectfully: "The grassroots are terrified, and there is nothing they can do about it."

Qi Pei said very calmly: "I've already said that you are my father's savior, why are you being so polite? Well, how old are you?"

Jia Huan thought that this man was Qi Qian's decent nephew, and thought that Qi Qian was almost obedient to him, but he really didn't have to treat this nephew with trepidation, as if he was facing an enemy.Jia Huan dismissed the "casual people"'s self-deprecating words as usual, and still said respectfully: "Your Highness, I only turned thirteen a few days ago, and my imaginary age is 14."

Qi Pei touched his smooth chin and said, "You are one year younger than me. How about this, let's not be so polite in private, don't call him 'His Royal Highness', but it seems a bit quack to call you brother or brother." , How about calling each other a sign?"

Jia Huan said, "I don't have a sign yet."

Qi Pei said: "By the way, you are not yet the age of the weak crown, but now many scholars have taken the name of the watch, even women, why is your Jia family so conservative?"

Jia Huan spread his hands and said, "Your Highness has met my father just now, and he follows the old etiquette the most."

Qi Pei smiled and said: "It's okay, I will ask my imperial grandfather to get you the name of the watch another day, and your father can't say anything. Then what should I call you now? Huan'er, okay?"

Jia Huan said, "Please feel free, Your Highness."

Qi Pei said: "I told you not to call me 'His Royal Highness'. Oh, I forgot to say, my name is 'Shoucheng', the imperial grandfather gave it to me, and said it fits the 'Pei' in my name." The meaning of the word. You can call me 'Shoucheng' from now on."

Seeing that he was so persistent, Jia Huan had no choice but to say, "Okay, Shou Cheng."

Qi Pei took Jia Huan's hand very familiarly and said, "Do you want to go to the palace to have fun?"

Jia Huan said, "I went there yesterday."

Qi Pei said, "Then what did you play?"

Jia Huan said: "I didn't go to play yesterday, I was..."

Qi Pei showed a row of white teeth with a smile, and said: "I heard that most people don't dare to lift their heads when they enter the palace. They can only see a small piece of land near their feet moving and moving. It doesn't matter if they don't go." It's no different. That's a pity, so I want to take you there again, so that next time you can confidently say 'I have actually been to the palace'."

Jia Huan felt that the child was too smart, so he couldn't help feeling fond of him.

Qi Pei said, "Let's go. Oh, by the way, this is a gift from me."

Jia Huan saw that there were only those treasures of gold and jade on the left, so he said, "Don't be too polite, the emperor has already rewarded me yesterday."

Qi Pei said regretfully: "The things I give you are naturally not as good as those of the emperor's grandfather, but I have picked them one by one, and I think you might like them."

Jia Huan hurriedly thanked her, but it was hard to give way.

Qi Pei ordered another guard to come over, pointed to four brocade boxes on a chair, and said, "That's a small gift from me to the old lady of Jia's mansion, just say that Huan'er and I are good friends now. In the future, I will often come to the mansion to play, and if there is any disturbance, I will ask her to take care of it, and then, Huan'er will often accompany me into the palace to play."

The guard hurriedly took the box out, found the person in charge of Jia's mansion, and passed the gift and Qi Pei's words to him.

After a while, Mother Jia asked several women to support her to thank the emperor's eldest grandson for the reward and grace in person, and said with a smile on her old face, "It's very desirable for Your Highness to lift up my family Huan'er, so why bother?" place! I’m only afraid that the poor house is humble, and I’m ashamed!”

Qi Pei smiled and said: "The old lady is too modest! Since that's the case, I will come here often in the future."
