serious man in the red chamber

Chapter 220 Unexpected Disaster 2
Jia Hu lay reclining on the kang, his eyes were still closed, and Yingchun's gentle voice came from his ears: "Let's go out."

"Look, Second Brother's eyes moved." Xiang Yun exclaimed.

"You lied!" This was Xichun's voice.

Xiangyun: "Really, I really saw it just now."

"puff"

This time came Tanchun's laughter, "Okay, let's go out." Then came the sound of chaotic footsteps.

There was silence.

Jia Hu secretly smiled, a few little girls were actually playing tricks on him, not to mention their breathing, even the smell of rouge and gouache in the room exposed them.

Suddenly, the white fox fur mattress under him moved, and then a slight fragrant wind came, Jia Hu's heart moved, Xiangyun?No, the smell is wrong.

Neither Xichun, nor Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai.

Xing Xiuyan would not act in such a disrespectful manner.

It's the big girl Yingchun, she won't be so childish.

Well, it must be the narrow-minded ghost Tanchun.

Jia Hu could clearly feel the other person's face approaching him, the scent of rouge came to his nostrils, the white fox fur mattress under his body was pulled tighter, no, it wasn't Tanchun, she was not so heavy, she opened her eyes suddenly, and there was a chubby round face that came into view, damn it, isn't this Baoyu.

Baoyu was also startled, and hurriedly called out, "Second Brother," as he said that, he wanted to turn around and get off the kang.

Jia Hu grabbed him by the back of the collar: "Want to run? It's late."

Baoyu grabbed Jia Hu's hand and begged, "My dear brother, I was wrong, please forgive me."

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

Seeing that Jia Hu was in a daze, Baoyu resorted to the coquettish method that was tried and tested on Jia's mother, monkeying on Jia Hu, begging: "My good brother, please forgive me! I am young and don't know the seriousness. Next time if I do it again, I will let my second brother deal with it."

Jia Hu is confused, Jia Baoyu is acting like a baby to herself?Trembling all over, he quickly pushed him away, turned over and rolled under the window, pointed to the chair next to the desk, and said, "Sit over there."

As he spoke, he took off the seven treasure bracelet on his wrist, and while counting the rosary, he said in his heart: "I'm not angry. I'm not angry"

Everyone was stunned at first, but after thinking about it, everyone burst into laughter.

Xiangyun lost his breath from laughing, and lay down on the kang, calling out "Aiyo."

Xichun rolled onto the kang early, pointed at Baoyu with a smile, but couldn't speak.

Yingchun, Tanchun, Lin Daiyu, Baochai, and Xing Xiuyan all bent their backs with laughter.

Baoyu sat there in embarrassment, and it took a long time before she said: "...This is Sister Yun's idea, and I am also a victim."

Everyone stopped laughing, and laughed again when they heard this.

Xiangyun laughed and burst into tears. He pointed at Baoyu and was speechless.

Jia Hu calmed down and laughed out loud.

Tanchun laughed and said, "I can't do it, my stomach hurts from laughing." After speaking, he walked to the edge of the kang and sat down.

Everyone also sat down on the edge of the kang and on the guest chairs.

Seeing that Xichun was still laughing, Jia Hu knocked her on the head, and before she could react, he walked down, grinding the rosary, and said: "It's so complete today, there must be something wrong, let's talk about it."

As the most assertive girl in Jia's family, Tanchun spoke up: "Second elder brother has worked so hard on state affairs, and also has special care for us. After discussing with the others, we decided to join forces and buy theater wine, and invite second elder brother and sister Lin to have wine and watch the theater."

Jia Hu smiled: "Silly girl, it's good if you have this kind of heart. How much money do you have, let me treat you to a drink and a show."

Tan Chunpu blinked his eyes a few times, and said with a smile: "There is a ready-made small theater troupe at home, so we don't need to spend extra money to invite it. We asked Sister Feng to do the math. Counting the old lady, wives and a few sister-in-laws, there are only six or seven seats. It is set as an ordinary family banquet, and 20 taels is enough. By the way, Sister Feng also subsidized us two jars of good wine."

Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "This is their wish, we just take care of them. If you feel sorry, just give them some lucky money."

Jia Hu listened, and said with a smile, "You're right." After thinking for a while, he said to Lin Daiyu, "This year, besides the gold and silver coins, each person will get a 500 tael silver note."

Everyone looked at each other and smiled.

Baoyu hesitated for a moment, and said, "I told Huan'er, Lan Ge'er, and Cong Ge'er, and they also want to take part."

Everyone was startled.

Jia Hu looked at him with a smile: "You did the right thing, and you have lived up to the second master's expectations of you."

Baoyu's eyes lit up: "Second brother agrees?"

Jia Hu nodded.

Tanchun: "How about tomorrow?"

Jia Hu smiled slightly: "That's it!"

Just as she was talking, Hu Po walked in: "Second Master, Mr. Jiao is here, waiting outside the gate."

"Ah."

Jia Hu responded, put the rosary into Lin Daiyu's hand, and said, "Talk with them first, I'll go and have a look." After speaking, he walked out.

There was a lot of snow.

Wearing a fox fur cloak, Jia Hu walked out of the backyard, saw Jiao Da standing there through the snowflakes, and walked over quickly.

Jiao Da also saw Jia Hu, came to greet him, and said: "Second Lord, two things. The imperial censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Chen Hao, froze to death outside the upper study room. Civil officials from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Imperial Academy, and the Imperial Academy are going to present a memorial to impeach you."

Jia Hu frowned: "Hasn't the emperor already greeted them?"

Jiao Da smiled wryly and said, "It's not about Hefei."

Jia Hu: "Oh?"

Jiao Da went on to say: "Chen Hao knelt outside the upper study room because His Majesty ordered to burn the memorial to impeach you. Those civil servants dare not blame His Majesty, so."

"Fuck!"

Jia Hu panicked, and blurted out a swear word: "I'm the one to take the blame!"

Jiao Da nodded: "Second Master, it's not that Jiao Da has the guts to say you're wrong. You are good in everything, but you are too tolerant of the prestige of the grand master and the young master. Let's just say the young master. As long as the other party dares to reach out to our house, no matter whether he is a court official of the Six Departments of the Nine Ministers or the Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he will be served with a whip until they dare not bite their teeth. The current situation does not allow you to keep calm with the civil officials."

Jia Hu's eyes flashed, and he nodded deeply: "You are right."

Metropolitan Procuratorate Hall

Civil officials from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Hanlin Academy, and Imperial Academy gathered again.

A censor couldn't help it: "Don't wait, go offer incense to Brother Chen first!"

Another censor: "Yes. Let's go to the incense and guard the spirit today, and start the impeachment memorial tomorrow!"

As soon as this remark came out, many people shouted:
"Chen Yushi can't just die like this!"

"The emperor is wise. Not only did he allocate five thousand silver from the internal treasury to Chen Yushi's funeral, but he also took on the future burden of the Chen family."

"That's true, the emperor was also threatened by others. All this is Jia Hu's fault!"

"We can't let Jia Hu get away with it!"

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind came in through the thick cotton curtains, and everyone was shivering and looked closely.

Panting, Deng Hanlin blushed with excitement and almost stumbled in: "Quick, Mr. Kong is going to Chen's residence to offer incense."

As soon as the words fell, a censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate opened the cotton curtain and was the first to rush out.

Then, all the officials rushed to the door in a swarm.
