The arrival of Shi Xiangyun caused Jia's mother to miss the happy time of her youth in the Shi family in the past, and talked about the old things of kowtowing in the Pillow Xia Pavilion.

On the afternoon of June 8, Jia's mother once again invited Aunt Xue to listen to the play in the side hall in Jiafu. Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, Wang Xifeng, Li Kun, Baoyu, Daiyu, Baochai, Shi Xiangyun, Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun, You Shi, and Qin Keqing were accompanied.

Looking at the role of "singing and playing" on the stage, Jia Baoyu, who was sitting next to Jia's mother, yawned a lot, turned his head and said to Daiyu: "Sister, it's really boring, it's not as good as the Chinese ghost story written by Brother Huan." ”

I watched the ghost story that Shi Xiangyun asked for from Jia Huan last night. He was a little mentally deficient.

Daiyu nodded, covered her mouth with a fan, and whispered to Baoyu: "There are many twists and turns. The ending is not as good as that. ”

Shi Xiangyun has a lively and cheerful temperament, and interjected: "I don't think the ending of the Huan brothers is well written. Nie Xiaoqian is so good, but in the end, she can't be with Ning Shusheng. Strange and stumbling. ”

At this time, just after the play was sung, there was a break in between. Shi Xiangyun's words were heard clearly by everyone. Xue Baochai pursed his lips and smiled faintly, drinking fragrant tea. She didn't read the script of "A Chinese Ghost Story". Li Kun has a bit of a score in her heart, but she never says a word.

The script was at Jia Tanchun's place at this time. Tanchun said: "That's because the ending of a tragedy is more touching than the ending of a drama. These are Jia Huan's original words in reply to her. The version written by Jia Huan is the movie version of Leslie Cheung and Wang Zuxian. The hero and heroine didn't end up together.

Shi Xiangyun disagreed: "Third sister, it's more comfortable to have a reunion." Did Sister Lin ever fall asleep after reading it? He chuckled. This is making fun of Daiyu.

Daiyu lightly hated Shi Xiangyun and said softly: "I'm asleep." I watched it in the afternoon. Missed a nap. At night, I naturally fell asleep. ”

Daiyu answered skillfully. A few people laughed.

At this time, the layout of the flower hall was occupied by Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, Aunt Xue, Wang Xifeng, You Shi, Qin Keqing, and Baoyu. Li Kun, Sanchun, Shi Xiangyun, Daiyu, and Baochai sat at a table.

Mother Jia saw that a few little girls were chatting hotly, and Baoyu also sat down, looking left and right, everyone was resting: drinking tea, eating melons and fruits, and drinking mung bean soup to cool off. Then he smiled and asked, "What are you little people talking about?" ”

The old people like to be lively.

Shi Xiangyun was quick to speak, and when she saw Jia Tanchun giving her a look, she stood up and replied heartily: "Ancestor, we are telling a wonderful story. There are swordsmen, ghosts, scholars, and underworlds. ”

Jia Mu nodded slightly, and said happily: "Is it Journey to the West or Water Margin?" I remember that there doesn't seem to be a swordsman in Journey to the West. ”

The mandarin duck standing beside Jia's mother joked: "The ancestor has a good memory!" In Journey to the West, there are goblins with swords. ”

Everyone in the flower hall laughed and looked different.

Wang Xifeng is a person who knows the inside story, she has already asked people to collect Jia Huan's "black materials", and then said with a smile: "Ancestor, I'm afraid you haven't heard this story." I heard that what kind of talented and beautiful woman she is..."

When Jia Mu heard the words "talented and beautiful", the smile on her face slowly faded, and she frowned slightly.

But most of the stories of talented and beautiful women teach women to pursue free love and criticize feudal etiquette. For example: Peony Pavilion, West Chamber. And this is precisely what the feudal patriarch dislikes the most. Marriage is about the life of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. How can the juniors make their own decisions?

Wang Xifeng made up another knife in a timely manner, "I heard that it was newly written by Brother Huan, and it was sold to booksellers in the market for 30 taels of silver." ”

Jia's mother didn't want to see Jia Huan in her heart, and when she heard that this "rebellious" novel was still written by Jia Huan, poisoning the thoughts of her granddaughter, granddaughter, and niece, her face suddenly became gloomy, and she paused the crutches in her hand vigorously, and shouted: "How can this be reasonable!" Go and call Brother Huan for me. ”

Wang Xifeng was about to sit down and drink tea with a smile, and called Jia Huan to see Jia's mother, so naturally it was not her turn to go in person.

Amber and Ping'er in Jia's mother's room turned around and went out to find Jia Huan with the little maid.

Ping'er sighed lightly in her heart. Brother Huan'er is an 8-year-old child, even if he is precocious, how can he be his grandmother's opponent? Grandma was quite dissatisfied with the fact that he came to deliver the invitation that day.

The news that "Jia Huan wrote a script and sold it for money" in the house before was just a smoke bomb to paralyze him, and today this is the "killer feature"!

If you hurt the old lady, it will be difficult for Brother Huan in the future.

…

…

After Ping'er and Amber went out, Jia's mother had a calm face, and the atmosphere was a little depressing. Everyone is waiting for the results.

Qin Keqing, who was sitting next to Wang Xifeng, was a charming and moving beauty, with a graceful figure and a talented national color. She and Wang Xifeng have always had a good relationship, her clear eyes turned wonderfully, and she asked in a low voice, "Second aunt, what's going on?" ”

Wang Xifeng pursed his lips and chuckled, and said in a low voice: "You just watch a good show." ”

Jia Huan's kid dared to "tease" her tiger whiskers with a little cleverness, and broke ground on Tai Sui's head, so he didn't know how many eyes Ma Wang Ye had.

Qin Keqing let out a "hmm" and stopped talking.

…

…

Li Kun, Baochai, Baoyu, and Daiyu also stopped at this table, and no longer discussed the story of A Chinese Ghost Story.

Shi Xiangyun looked annoyed, she also knew that her mouth was about to get into trouble.

Seeing that everyone was "it's not about the matter", Tanchun was bitter and worried. She didn't blame Shi Xiangyun. This matter is mainly bad because of the words Wang Xifeng said to the old lady.

"I hope the third brother will be okay with this."

…

…

Although Jia Huan had a hunch, he never imagined how he would take center stage in Jiafu.

On the afternoon of June 8, when he was studying the Analects with Lin Juren in the small courtyard of Jiafu's study, a servant came in and said: "Third master, Miss Ping'er and Miss Amber are waiting for you in the second gate, and the old lady has asked you to meet her." ”

Lin Juren's face was furious. As a teacher, he naturally resents trespassing into his classroom. But the word "roll" has not yet been spoken, and it is pressed down vividly. He knew the status of the old lady in Jiafu.

Jia Huan ignored the arrogant little guy, got up and saluted Lin Juren, "Please forgive me, sir." The students went inside and came back to listen to the teachings of the teacher. ”

Lin Juren only saw that this little guy broke into the classroom without permission, and knew that Jia Huan was afraid that something was going on. Jia Huanzun said solemnly, making his angry mood a little better, and vaguely encouraged: "You go." The gentleman is frank! ”

"Mr. Xie." Jia Huan smiled at Jia Cong and Jia Lan, who came over worriedly, and calmly followed the little girl out of the study.

The small courtyard of the study originally had a corridor courtyard and the second gate to communicate, which was originally used by Baoyu and Ying, Tan, and Xi to study. At the second gate, I saw Ping'er and Amber and a few maids and mothers-in-law.

Since Jia Baoyu threw jade in Jia Huan's house at the end of February, the turmoil has spread, and basically the people in Jia's mother house have no good impression of Jia Huan. Amber said with a cold face: "Third master, let's go!" The ancestors are still waiting. ”

Jia Huan glanced at Amber, the big girl in Jia's mother's room, and her appearance was average. I snorted coldly in my heart. Ignoring Amber, he followed everyone to Jia's mother's house. After thinking about it, he asked Ping'er, who was walking beside him, "Sister Ping'er, does the ancestor have anything to do with me?" ”

Jia Huan is also confused now.

Ping'er was wearing an emerald green cardigan and had a handsome face. She was kind-hearted in the end, and said through her mouth: "Third master, don't ask me, you should think carefully about what you have written recently." ”

Jia Huan got Ping'er's reminder and knew it in his heart. There are only two articles he wrote that can be known by Jia's mother. First, he sold Jia Baoyu a Chinese ghost storybook. Second, the night before yesterday, I wrote to Shi Xiangyun to read the short story "Ying Ning" in "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai".

As for "Ai Lian Said", this is an article written by Zhou Dunyi, the master of science, if Jia Mu dares to question, it will be simply ridiculous and generous! If he wasn't a disciple of Jiafu, he would definitely dare to scold him to his face: "The village woman dares to insult the grandmaster's words?" ”

Of course, this can only be done in his own heart. Who let him wear it on Xiao Jiahuan? The younger generation scolds the elders, which is definitely an act of looking for a draw. Jia Huande admitted that he didn't like Jia Mu as the ruler of a big feudal family very much in his heart.

When Jia Huan's mind turned, he soon arrived in the side hall in Jia's mother's courtyard. The troupe has long since stopped. Everyone in the room sat in silence. Hearing the sound coming from under the eaves steps outside the door, they all lifted their spirits slightly. The main master is here.

Madame Wang raised her eyes and continued to count the sandalwood beads in her hand. Aunt Xue was sipping the tea and couldn't tell what her mood was. You Shi, Qin Keqing and others are all irrelevant people, just watch Jia's mother deal with it. Wang Xifeng looked at the door with a smile, and his eyes flashed a hint of spiciness.

Jia Baoyu, Dai, Hai, Shi, Ying, and Xi are all wise and self-protective. Only Tanchun clenched his fists nervously under the table, and his palms hurt slightly.

Jia Huan, dressed in a literati shirt, walked in with his head held high, and paused deliberately. He was not interested in kowtowing to Jia Mu and the others.

Sure enough, Jia's mother was furious, and before Jia Huan knelt down to ask for peace, she opened her mouth and asked, "Brother Huan, you are so bold!" You dare to write a 'talented and beautiful woman' script for your sisters and sisters. I didn't wronged you, did I? ”

Jia Huan bowed to Jia's mother, bowed his head and said, "Back to the ancestor, grandson doesn't know what you said?" ”

"Bastard, don't admit it yet!" Jia's mother trembled angrily and said to Aunt Xue: "I didn't discipline him strictly in the past, which made my aunt laugh." ”

Aunt Xue hurriedly comforted the old lady a few words.

Wang Xifeng put down the tea bowl with a smile, Danfeng squinted at Jia Huan, "Brother Huan, now that it's over, you can admit it." Brother Bao, the storybook they read was not written by you, could it have been conjured out of thin air? I heard what your second brother Lian said, you invited him to Zuixian Mansion for dinner, and admitted to his face that he earned 30 taels of silver by selling the book. ”

"Oh..."There was a soft sound of admiration and regret in the flower hall. The credibility of Wang Xifeng's words is too high.

"Oh?" Jia Huan smiled at Wang Xifeng, his teeth were very white, his tone was very cold, and he mocked: "Second sister-in-law, the word knows you, do you know it?" ”

"Wow!"

The audience was in an uproar!
