Chapter 212: Ning Guofu Banquet (I)
On the eighth night of the first lunar month, the news that Jia Huan went to the palace to be received by Wang Ziteng alone spread throughout the four families of Jia Shi and Wang Xue in a very short time. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
As far as Jiafu is concerned, Wang Xifeng, Jia Lian and others all understand that Jia Huan is valued by Wang Ziteng, and his position in Jiafu will be more solid.
Prince Jia Huande took a fancy to the slave world of Ning Rong and the two mansions, which was tantamount to a storm. Those who were able to rely on the past when the "witty" Zai Sanye ran the steward training class in the third master of Huan last year can be regarded as earning.
The training course on ethnology and stewardship, which is scheduled to start on the 20th day of the first lunar month, has attracted the attention of the Jia family.
In Ningguo's mansion, Jia Rong discussed with Jia Qiang on the morning of the ninth day of the new year, and invited Jia Huan to Ningguo's mansion for a banquet and wine. In fact, the male hosts of Rongguo Mansion and Ning Guofu will have a banquet at Ningguo Mansion at noon on the first day of the new year. But Jia Rong now wants to invite Jia Huan alone. Uncle Huan is now valued by Uncle Wang, and he has a soaring posture. Please take care of Uncle Huan in the future.
But not everyone in the Jia family is happy to hear the news, such as the Lai family. On the morning of the ninth day of the new year, the news reached Lai's house. Mama Lai, Lai Da, Lai Sheng, and Lai Shangrong got together and discussed for a long time. What was discussed, there is no way to know.
On the ninth day of the first month, the sky was overcast. A bitter cold wind was blowing. After noon, Lin Daiyu was delicate and frail, and after seeing Jia's mother, she read and wrote in her room, feeling homesick in her heart. Baoyu followed and spoke.
After Baoyu was careful, Lin Daiyu's anger had already smoothed out, and she sat at the desk, wearing an elegant cyan skirt, delicate and exquisite. Listen to Baoyu speak.
After Baoyu and Lin Daiyu reconciled, their hearts were happy, so they told Daiyu about what happened in the palace last night, and sighed: "At that time, Brother Xue was in trouble with Brother Huan. My sister didn't know, and Sister Bao was worried about Brother Huan. Alas..."
Lin Daiyu looked at Jia Baoyu with clear eyes, snorted lightly, and sneered: "Everyone says that you are smart, why do I think you look like a nerd?" Sister Bao is obviously worried about her brother. Will Brother Xue be Brother Huan'er's opponent? Don't be here with me, go find your sister Bao. ”
Baoyu listened to Lin Daiyu's analysis, first happy, as if it was the same thing, and then immediately made a bitter face and made amends: "Good sister, I'm quick to talk for a while, don't drive me." "He said the wrong thing again. And Sister Lin is a careful person, and she can guess what he thinks when she hears it.
Lin Daiyu's lazy Li Baoyu. She could naturally taste Baoyu's melancholy and sigh in her heart. It turned out that he was thinking of Sister Bao's goodness in his heart. This annoyed her.
The two were making an awkward noise, and laughter came from outside the door, but it was Yingchun, Tanchun, and Xichun who came in from outside with the maids.
Tanchun said: "The second brother is also here." Sister Lin is okay today? Seeing that you haven't been to us for two days in a row, we have come to see you. ”
Lin Daiyu got up and thanked her, "Third Sister Xie is worried." It's fine, it's just windy and I don't want to go out. ”
Baoyu sighed gloomily. Yes, he just coaxed his sister and fell out with her again.
…
The Shi family established by Bao Linghou and Shang Shu Ling Shi Hou is divided into 18 rooms, and now there are 10 rooms living in the capital, and 8 rooms living in Jinling, the original hometown. The ten rooms of the Shi family all live in Xianyifang in the west of the inner city of the capital.
Although the historian family now has two marquis on the door beam: hereditary Baoling Hou Shi Nai and Zhongjing Hou Shi Ding. But none of them are missing. In later generations, no one is good at making a living, and they are declining more and more. Everywhere and all the time, I feel that the silver is short.
In the evening, Shi Zhi, the second son of Shi Nai, the current Bowling Marquis, talked with his father Shi Nai and eldest brother Shi Sheng about the issue of Jia Huan's treatment of Jia Huan by the Shi family. His eldest brother Shi Sheng is going to invite Jia Huan over for dinner tomorrow.
After Shi Zhi came out, he asked Shi Xiangyun, a cousin of the uncle who died early, to come over and talk about it. After greeting for a while, Shi Zhi asked: "Big sister, you went to live in Jiafu a lot in the past, what kind of person is Jia Huan?" ”
Shi Xiangyun was still at home with her sister-in-law, and her sisters were busy doing needlework, so they were confused, thought about it, and said truthfully: "A young prodigy is talented." He has a calm temperament and is easy-going. ”
Shi Zhi asked a few more words, but seeing that he couldn't ask anything new, he asked Shi Xiangyun to leave. I muttered to myself. Jia Huan is now favored by his father-in-law, how can he not ask a few more words? I'm afraid that dealing with this person will be indispensable in the future.
What's more important is that he had a falling out with Jia Huan last night, and in the future, whether he is friend or foe, he has to feel the situation.
…
As far as the Wang family is concerned, Wang Ziteng's attitude has indeed surprised many people. I thought that the prince would not wait to see Jia Huan. You must know that since Jia Huan's middle move in September, for more than four months, he has not invited Jia Huan to sit at home.
But Wang Ziteng is the head of the Wang family, with a high and powerful position, after he met Jia Huan alone, everyone in the Wang family had to cooperate even if they hadn't turned a corner in their hearts.
…
It's getting late. In the Lixiang Courtyard in the northeast corner of Jiafu, a poke lamp brightly dispelled the night, went out from the Lixiang Courtyard, and went west to Jiahuan to look at the moon in the center.
Aunt Xue watched worriedly as her daughter took Xiangling to Wangyue Residence, and sighed leisurely, "Alas." She plans to invite Jia Huan to drink tomorrow and talk about the matter. I can't watch my son send Jia Huan to prison.
Xue Pan came back from outside this afternoon and scolded Aunt Xue, and went out to find a place to eat and drink angrily.
Xiangling followed the poke lamp and followed Baochai to Mochizuki Residence. Baochai is in Jiafu, and everyone respects her. Ruyi and Qingwen greeted them out and served tea in the hall to entertain Baochai. Qingwen had a pretty face, and said with a smile: "Miss Bao is here to find the third master?" ”
There was a charcoal basin burning in the living room, warm as spring, Baochai untied the light blue cloak and handed it to Xiangling to collect, her delicate and beautiful face was bright and unprovoked in the candlelight, and she chuckled: "Brother Huan is not at home?" ”
Qingwen nodded, "Hmm." The third master went to Wendao Academy in Dongzhuang Town this morning. He went to pay New Year's greetings to his teachers and classmates. ”
Baochai was a little disappointed, "That's it..." Brother Huan is indeed of good character and respects his teacher. My mother wanted to invite Brother Huan to have time to go to the house for dinner, so I'll come back another day. ”
The delicate little girl got up as she wished and prepared to send off the guests. Qingwen was smart and clever, thinking about the third master's instructions, and said, "Miss Bao, the third master left you a note, and I'll show it to you." ”
Baochai was slightly strange, "Oh? ”
Qingwen and Ruyi went to Jia Huan's inner study together. The two laughed, isn't it strange that Miss Bao came overnight to invite the third master to dinner? The two took out a note that Jia Huan had left on the desk and took it out to show Baochai.
Baochai took the letterhead and looked at it that read: Sister Bao, don't worry.
Brother Huan knew what she was worried about, and deliberately left a word before leaving.
Baochai's beautiful face can't help but float a shallow smile, as bright as the moon, and her temperament is elegant and beautiful. There was a brisk and tacit feeling in her heart, as if a clear spring was poured into her heart, making her heart cheerful and slightly sweet.
Baochai put away the letterhead, stood up, and said with an elegant smile: "Qingwen, Ruyi, since Brother Huan is not at home, I won't invite him to dinner." I'll talk to him when he comes back. ”
As he spoke, he said goodbye and left. Brisk walking.
…
Jia Huan went to Wendao Academy to pay New Year's greetings to Ye Hongyun and other gentlemen and classmates who stayed in the academy. I went to Miss Lin's house in Dongzhuang Town again. Since he arrived in Dongzhuang Town, he wants to go to a friend's place to pay New Year's greetings. The brothers and sisters of the Lin family are all celebrating the New Year in the capital. Only the old servant was left at home in Dongzhuang Town.
Jia Huan smiled, left his name post, and returned to his residence in Dongzhuang Town.
Jia Huan returned from Wendao Academy on the afternoon of the 11th day of the first lunar month. In the evening, Jia Huan invited Jia Rong, Jia Qiang, Jia Qiong, Jia Chen, and Jia Lan to Ningguo Mansion for a drink, accompanied by Jia Lian. This is the main son of the second generation of Jia Fu.
Of course, Jia Baoyu is also counted. But he's always been in the house. In addition to going to Uncle Wang Ziteng's house during the New Year, I don't go to other homes.
In the elegant back garden of Ningguo Mansion, the lights are bright in Luoyun Xuan. Warm as spring.
There are a few soft couches and desks in the Xuan, which are not far from each other, which is convenient for talking. Jia Huan and the others sat down separately. The servants immediately served delicious food and wine.
Jia Rong originally wanted Jia Huan to sit at the top of the middle, and Jia Huan was in charge of this position. There is no better person in the second generation of Jiafu's children.
However, Jia Huan was not interested in grabbing Jia Rong's position, and said with a smile: "Brother Rong, you have a heart." You can sit on your own. He sat first on the left.
At the age of eleven, Jia Huan is called twenty-year-old Jia Rong "Brother Rong", and the posture of an elder is really a bit weird. But with Jia Huan's seniority and status, no one of the children of the Jia family here will feel uncomfortable.
Jia Rong breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, sat down with a smile, and first raised her glass to toast, "My nephew heard that Uncle Huan has won the favor of Uncle Wang's uncle, and I wish Uncle Huan a great future in the future!" ”
Jia Huan nodded with a smile and drank the wine. I had another drink with Jia Lian. Then have a drink with Jia Rong, Jia Qiang, Jia Qiong, Jia Chen, Jia Lan and others.
Jia Rong immediately asked the little maid to add boiled water to Jia Huan. This is Jia Huan's old rule, only drink two or three glasses of alcohol. Won't drink more. Of course, when you go to Feng Ziying's house, there is no way to go to the kind of place where you have no conditions and you have to drink.
Jia Huan laughed. Jia Rong is so thoughtful. It's still quite pleasing to the eye for him to look at Jia Rong now. Pondering slightly in his heart. Without Jia Zhen's Ning Guofu, in the hands of Jia Rong, how much harm can it bring to the Jia family?
Actually, Jia Huan is really not optimistic about Jia Rong. Jia Rong lacks the ability to be a bad guy and make trouble. It's just a young rich son who has never experienced any ups and downs since he was a child. Eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling are such things, and it is the family business of Ning Guofu that loses. Nothing to do with him.
Jia Huan is a little curious, after Xue Pan went to Beijing in the fourth time in the original book of Red Mansions, there is such a sentence: All the sons and nephews in the Jia family have already known half of them, and all those who are in the habit of being squirrel, do not like to associate with him, drink today, watch flowers tomorrow, and even gather for gambling***** gradually everywhere, and the seduced Xue Pan is ten times worse than that day.
Xue Pan was already very bad in Jinling that day, and he even felt that he could spend money to kill people. This Jiafu can still lead him ten times worse. What kind of fame are these children of the Jia family? Jia Huan really couldn't think of it. (To be continued.) )
