[Red House] The First Imperial Merchant

Chapter 65

Chapter 65 What's wrong with my little brother!

Jia's mansion posted a post early, saying that Jia's mother is of high status on the first day of the new year, so naturally many juniors went to pay New Year's greetings. It is the result of several years of working with the actors that the Jia family bought from Yangzhou when they were young. It is said that they are no worse than the famous singers in the capital. There are less people walking around, and the mansion is not very lively after the Chinese New Year, so I thought about going to Jia's mansion again in the third year of junior high school.

The two masters and apprentices went to Xue Wang's yard to pay New Year's greetings after dinner. When Xue Wang heard that they were going to Jia's mansion, he thought of going to play together.The carriage was ready early, Xue Wang took the two girls in one, Xue Pan and Zhao Hongyi took one, Wang Jia drove the carriage, and the guard eunuch rode beside him on horseback, and the servant girl took another coarse cloth carriage, there was no way for the three of them There must be waiters around the female relatives.

Zhao Hongyi was a little excited while sitting in the carriage, "Master, what do you think little senior brother is doing now?"

"Kowtow to greet you." Xue Pan wanted to sneer when he thought of the rules of Jia's house, it was a mess, he didn't pay attention to what should be paid attention to, but he paid more attention to showing off.Speaking of this, I was curious why Zhao Hongyi came out to play on the first day of the new year, and asked, "You don't want to greet your father?"

"I paid homage to my father last night, and I don't know what happened. After the banquet, my father went to the palace of my mother and concubine. He let me stay overnight. I was so sleepy that I finally rested on the bed of my mother and concubine. Yes, I came together the next morning, my father was woken up by me, he didn't scold me, and he allowed me to come out to play with the master, but let me bring the guards and chestnuts." Zhao Hongyi suddenly went to Xue Pan's side when he said this. Go, whispered: "I think father seems to like me very much now."

"Oh?" Xue Pan teased, "Then didn't like you before?"

Zhao Hongyi shook his head resolutely and said: "Father never paid attention to me before, I think there is a conspiracy in this matter."

After Xue Pan heard it, he felt mixed feelings. The love between father and son is very common, but it can be placed here with Zhao Hongyi. Emperor Pingkang just looked at it a few times and promised a few things, but Zhao Hongyi put it in his heart, and he still studied it carefully. The conspiracy inside, Xue Pan originally thought that it was just Zhao Hongyi worrying about gains and losses. It can be seen that Zhao Hongyi was thinking seriously, so he thought about it carefully, but he didn't have a clue, and it was inconvenient to speak in the carriage, so he whispered: "I won't mention this beforehand, we'll talk about it when we get to the Jia Mansion."

Zhao Hongyi nodded, still pondering in his heart, he always felt that his father looked at him with the same cold eyes as before, but he indulged him a lot in his behavior, he couldn't figure it out for a while, he just hoped that the master could explain it for him.

While talking, we arrived at the Jia Mansion, Zhao Hongyi was the third prince, although he acted in a low-key manner, he was not wronged to the point of going through the door. The little eunuch Li Zi got off his horse neatly, flashed his waist card at the doorman of the Jia Mansion, and said: "Inside the car are the third prince and Lord Xue's family---"

Lai Da was sitting in the small house behind the concierge, Jia's Mansion posted a post In order to prevent the servant from offending the distinguished guests, Lai Da came to sit in the town today.

When the servant heard this, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he was so shocked that he couldn't speak well, so he hurriedly reported inside, "Third, the third prince is here!"

Lai Da was sitting inside drinking hot tea and eating peanuts. Hearing what the young man said, his hands trembled in fright. He quickly threw down the peanuts, threw his clothes on, and ran outside, "Where's the man?"

"It's at the door!" The boy had never seen such a distinguished guest before, he looked panic-stricken, and Lai Da was so angry that he hit the boy's head and cursed: "How dare you leave the third prince outside, You are looking for death..." He himself was also afraid, bowed his waist, and walked towards the gate like a villain.

There were three carriages parked at the door, and there were guards on tall horses. Although they were dressed in casual clothes, they were not ordinary people at first glance.Although Lizi is the little eunuch next to Zhao Hongyi, others may look down on his status, but he can still put on airs to the servants of Jia's mansion. At this moment, he looked impatient. Seeing Lai Da, he said coldly: "Rong The state government has strict rules, when will my master be able to enter? But do you have to go through customs and report layer by layer?"

It was a very cold day and the snow had not cleared, Lai Daji was sweating all over his head, nodded and bowed to accompany him, he found a clever young man to go in and report to the master, he himself moved the pedals and put them on the side of the carriage to welcome the third prince.

"The villain pays respects to the third prince." Lai Da, who has always been eloquent, seemed to be a gourd with his mouth cut off at this moment. .

In the carriage, Xue Pan said cheerfully, "Today we are going through the gate! I am still under Hongyi's honor."

"Why didn't the master come in from here before?" Zhao Hongyi muttered, "It's really annoying."

Lizi opened the curtain and said respectfully, "Master, please—" Before he finished speaking, he saw two people rushing out of the gate of Jia's mansion. Looking carefully, it turned out that it was Jia Zheng and Jia Lian who came out.

The third prince has a lot of face, even though he is not crowned king, he is still the master after all.After Jia Zheng and Jia Lian saluted, Zhao Hongyi came down slowly, and the little face who was still complaining about trouble in the carriage showed a smile, but said in a coherent way: "Happy Chinese New Year, Mr. Jia."

When Jia Zheng heard this, his face was radiant, and he was more polite. Xue Pan got off the carriage and saw Jia Zheng smiling attentively. As far as we know, Jia's family has already taken refuge with the second prince, that is to say, the wife. Anyone can play.

"Happy New Year, Uncle." Xue Pan and Jia Zheng exchanged salutes, and Xue Pan went to the back of the carriage to invite Mrs. Xue and the two girls down. The rest of the coachmen and guards who were driving the car all made arrangements with a smile, especially the four guards from the palace, they were very thoughtful.

It is an honor for the third prince to go to the gate of Jia's mansion on the first day of junior high school. Jia Zheng first respectfully invited the third prince to walk around the front yard, and soon got the news from the backyard. Playing and drinking tea, because the third prince is still young, he doesn't clash, but Zhao Hongyi is thinking about his little senior brother, and he has long been annoyed by the hospitality of Jia Zheng's distinguished guests, but he doesn't show it on the surface. Every move is very safe and does not fall into the shoes of others.

Xue Pan knew that the little apprentice was patient, so he went to the backyard with him. He and Jia's mansion were considered relatives, and he was the younger generation.The two arrived at Rongxi Hall led by mandarin ducks. It was still early, the distinguished guests had not yet arrived, and the theater was not yet open. Mother Jia was chatting and laughing with the daughters-in-law and girls. Yan said that the laughter was holographic, and hid behind the screen in the flower hall, leaving only Mrs. Jia Muwang and Mrs. Xing and other elders there.

As soon as the two of them entered the main room, Mother Jia took the two daughters-in-law to salute Zhao Hongyi. Zhao Hongyi stopped him naturally, supported Jia Mother, and said with a smile, "Old lady, don't do this." Then he called out to Wang and Xing. , there is no need to be polite and so on.

When Jia Mu saw Zhao Hongyi's clothes were ordinary and inconspicuous, but her actions were very dignified and polite. In addition, Zhao Hongyi's face was handsome and heroic. It seemed that Jia's mother forgot the rules for a while, and turned to Zhao Hongyi like Jia Baoyu, Zhao Hongyi There was a flash of displeasure in her eyes, and when Mother Jia saw it, she restrained her behavior a little, and spoke politely.Xue Pan saluted and paid New Year's greetings. Zhao Hongyi couldn't bear to socialize with the female family members of Jia's family long ago, so he said straightforwardly: "Today I came to see my little senior brother. Is Brother Huan here?" He thought Jia Huan is a concubine, so he must be wronged on weekdays, but today he came here specially to show off Jia Huan's power, so naturally he called him "Xiao Shige".

The living room, which was still smiling at first, suddenly became freezing cold. Embarrassment flashed in Jia Mu's eyes, but she recovered in an instant, but Mrs. Wang was embarrassed and didn't know how to reply. Mrs. Xing covered her mouth and snickered. Watch the show.

"Old Madam, I don't know, Hongyi and Brother Huan belong to our sect. Although we met last time in a month and a half, but they are the same age, they are very close. This time Hongyi begged His Majesty to come out. He didn't come to see me, but Baba came to see his little senior brother." Xue Pan smirked, but there was a coldness in his eyes, the change of face became so fast, it was designated that something happened to Jia Huan, but the face It didn't show up, and his attitude was much tougher, "It's not easy for Hongyi to leave the palace once, the two brothers and sisters haven't seen each other for a long time, I hope the old lady will be accommodating and let the two meet and talk."

Jia Mu pretended to be calm, and said with a smile: "Brother Huan is naughty, I don't know where he is playing now---"

"How can I jump up with such a serious injury---" Mrs. Xing quickly covered her mouth, as if she had slipped her mouth, and looked at Jiamu pitifully. Jiamu was short of breath, but she couldn't deal with Mrs. Xing now, so she went No longer talking, Mrs. Wang's face was ugly, she pursed her lips and stopped talking.

Zhao Hongyi looked at it, and reversed the gentle and joyful appearance from entering the door just now, with a straight face, he said: "Madam General, please tell me the details, I am young, I am afraid that someone in the house will not take me seriously and fool me .”

What she said was heart-wrenching, even Jia's mother was stunned, she never thought that the third prince valued Jia Huan's concubine so much, now that she thought of the order she gave Shi Banzi, she suddenly felt a little bit of regret in her heart, but After turning around, he turned his anger on Mrs. Wang. She was the one who pushed me to give the order, and she was the one who used herself as a gun. This daughter-in-law is really vicious!

After entering the living room of Rongxi Hall, Zhao Hongyi gave Mrs. Xing the dignity she deserved. After all, Jia She inherited the title of first-class general, and Mrs. Xing was a first-rank imperial order. Mrs. Wang followed Jia Zheng, a fifth-rank official, The order is only from the fifth grade, and it is not obvious to live in the back house on weekdays, especially Mrs. Wang gave birth to a phoenix egg. Jia's mother likes to push the big house to carry the second room everywhere. But when it comes to formal occasions, Mrs. Wang is not as good as Mrs. Xing. It can be seen from Zhao Hongyi's attitude that Mrs. Wang's face was swept away, or she didn't pay much attention at all.

When Mrs. Xing heard Zhao Hongyi's words, she was very excited. It was rare for her to be mighty in front of Mrs. Wang. She used to suffer a lot in the back house, so she gave birth to Jia Baoyu because of her mother's mother!

"Third Prince, don't get angry. I'm not treating you lightly. I'm just afraid that you will be anxious." Mrs. Xing also has a brain. She has already offended Mother Jia by her preemptive words just now, and now she doesn't dare to do too much, for fear that the Third Prince will leave. Later, Mother Jia asked her to settle the accounts, and after some planning in her mind, she said slowly: "Brother Huan was playing with his second brother last night. The candle on the table accidentally fell off and Baoyu was splashed all over his face. My younger brother The daughter-in-law feels sorry for Baoyu and punished Brother Huan." Completely picked off Jia's mother.

Mrs. Wang tried to argue with a dark face, but before she could speak, she heard Zhao Hongyi dissatisfied: "Since the two are playing around with each other, why only punish my little brother? Is there something wrong with my little brother?" Mrs. Wang was not swept away.

"I played ten boards yesterday, and I heard that I had a fever that night, and now I am raising them in the yard---" Mrs. Xing hadn't finished her sentence, and seeing Zhao Hongyi's face turned dark, she shouted coldly: "Chestnuts!"

Li Zi, who was guarding the door, hurried in and saw Zhao Hongyi standing respectfully in one place with a dark face.

"Go to the palace to invite Imperial Physician Zhu, if you don't have a blank imperial physician, you can." Zhao Hongyi threw his waist card to Li Zi, "Hurry up and come back."

Lizi was worried that Zhao Hongyi would stay in Jia's mansion alone, and just raised his voice to ask a few questions, but seeing the black face he had never seen before, he took the sign and hurried out.The three people in the hall were startled and didn't know how to speak for a moment.Xue Pan's heart ached when he heard that Jia Huan was being beaten, but he couldn't shame Jia Mu as confidently as Zhao Hongyi, so he could only use Zhao Hongyi to get angry. Seeing the embarrassment in the room, he said, "Brother Huan is with me." Reading and writing articles is the most cute thing, how can you play with Baoyu? Forget it, let’s not talk about this now, I’ll go and see how Brother Huan’s injury is!" He originally wanted to calm the atmosphere, but he didn’t expect to be cold when he opened his mouth. Bangbang's face was also dark.

The two masters and apprentices went out and happened to meet the three of Xue Wang who came over. Xue Wang saw that his son's face was not good, and when he asked, he lost interest in watching the theater, and felt a little colder when he was facing her sister. point.
