The Red Mansion En Xiaohou

Chapter 8 Jia Huan
All the people living in Jiamu's courtyard had arrived. After waiting for a while, Jia Baoyu was the only one missing.

"Where's Baoyu?"

Jia Mu glanced around and asked about Jia Baoyu.

Yuanyang waited beside Jia Mu, facing Jia Mu, a look of evasion flashed in Yuanyang's eyes, thinking about how to make Baoyu Yuan.

Jia's mother took her eyes away from Yuanyang's body, and Yuanyang stumbled to find a reason to explain to Jia Baoyu. Jia's mother frowned, knowing that Baoyu must be having a temper, and refused to get up.

Receiving the imperial decree was important, and Mother Jia didn't have time to coax Jia Baoyu anymore. It's not really dawn yet, so let him sleep as he pleases.

Everything was completed according to the steps. When she heard the words behind the imperial edict, Jia Mu's face changed, and her good mood for accepting the edict was gone.

Is the emperor mocking the Rongguo Mansion for treating the concubine badly? Would Jia Shan not be allowed to study in such a huge Rongguo Mansion?How can the people of Rongguo Mansion behave if this news spreads?

She is specifically referred to here, she and Jia Baoyu are the only ones who don't like Jia Shan in the whole house, who knows who the imperial decree is.

Mother Jia's face turned ugly and she left in a grand manner.

After this ordeal, Jia Shan resumed her previous treatment.

All his servants were also sent back, and they lived a life of stretching out their coats and opening their mouths for meals, so they no longer had to follow the big kitchen to eat.

The people in the big kitchen will deliver the ingredients according to his requirements, and the people in his yard will make whatever he wants to eat. This is much more convenient, and he doesn't have to look at other people's faces.

"Nurse Gao, I want to eat crab roe dumplings."

Jia Shan practiced calligraphy and talked to the woman embroidering the purse.

Aunt Gao raised her head and looked at Jia Shan with calm eyes and full of love.

"Crab roe is a food for the great cold. Brother, you have to go to school tomorrow. Be careful and have diarrhea."

Not getting what she wanted to eat, Jia Shan put down her pen unhappily, and ran to Madam Gao's side to act coquettishly.

"I just want to eat Mammy, so just let me eat."

"No, brother, don't make trouble. How can you go to school if you have diarrhea?"

Nanny Gao rejected Jia Shan in a stern tone.

"Mommy~"

Boom!Boom!Boom!
Jia Shan shook Grandma Gao's arm, and the door rang.

"Fourth Shan, I'm here to find you."

Three-inch Ding Jiahuan knocked on the door. Today he got new clothes and came to Jiashan specifically to give him eyesight.

Nanny Gao put down her sewing work and opened the door.

Jia Huan stood outside the door dissatisfied, showing disgust like a little adult.

"Are you paralyzed, opening the door so slowly?"

Jia Huan learned to speak harshly and vulgarly from Aunt Zhao, and she knew his temper. Aunt Gao didn't share his common sense, so she made way for him to come in.

Jia Huan walked in with eight-character steps, imitating the appearance of singing an opera, flicking every step, and walked in pretendingly.

Jia Shan couldn't help but burst out laughing, the dark green robe was a bit old-fashioned and loose, and it didn't fit him so well.

The two small balls on his head swayed as he moved around, and coupled with his expression, people couldn't help but laugh.

Aunt Gao also laughed at his funny look.

"You are heartless. Now that Jia Shan is in power, does she look down on me?"

Jia Shan has changed. She used to be full of envy when she saw him wearing new clothes, but now he looks down on himself. It was in vain that he wanted to lend him some clothes for two days.

Jia Huan's self-esteem was hurt, and he lay on the kang and cried loudly. He looked so pitiful.

As written in the original work, Jia Huan is careless and jealous, but he is not inherently bad.

Most of his bad qualities were caused by the long-term pathological and unfair living environment in Rongguo Mansion, as well as Aunt Zhao's character upbringing. As long as someone guides him for the better, he can still get better.

Jia Huan was crying so sad, Jia Shan felt a little unbearable and patted Jia Huan on the back.

"Stop crying, it's my fault. I have something good for you."

Jia Shan comforts Jia Huan.

In this mansion, he and Jia Huan and Jia Cong are troubled brothers, they can play together normally, how can they not miss their good brothers when they have good things.

Jia Huan's ears twitched, he raised his face, which was covered in tears and snot, and looked at Jia Shan pitifully.

"What a good thing."

Jashan has an evil smile on her face. If the silly kid sees it, you will be very happy.

Jia Shan asked Jia Huan to wait here and go to the study to get it herself.

After a while, Jia Shan came back with a young man carrying a large wooden book box.

Jia Huan's eyes lit up, and the previous cloud was swept away on his face, holding the box and not letting go.

"Fourth child, you are a conscientious person and you deserve to be treated well by me."

Jia Huan couldn't wait to open the box, he was really happy, this was the first time someone gave him something other than charity.

"open to take a look."

Jia Shan patted the book box. This book box was made by Jia She specifically for skilled craftsmen in the capital. The quality was outstanding and Jia Huan would have no problem keeping it as a family heirloom.

Jia Shan gave him the key to the bookcase.

Jia Huan took the key and carefully unlocked the box.

This is different from what he received from Mrs. Wang.

Every time Mrs. Wang gave him tattered clothes that Jia Baoyu didn't want.

What Jia Shan gave him was brand new, not to mention anything else, only the workmanship of this box is extraordinary.

The box was opened and the space inside was filled with books.

Jia Huan's smile stopped on his face, and gradually became dull. Looking down at the things in the box, he felt unlucky.

Jashan smiled and took out the books from the book box one by one.

"I personally selected these books. They include the Four Books and Five Classics, poems and songs, and historians' classics. You will have no problem using them for scientific examinations."

Jia Huan was already in a daze. This was the first time he had seen so many books besides Jia Zheng's study.

Pulling Jia Huan, Jia Shan opened the secret compartment at the bottom of the box. In the secret compartment he placed a fine inkstone and a wolf brush.

These things are really valuable things, and it is not a problem to sell them for 800 taels.

Handing the two items to Jia Huan, Jia Shan solemnly told Jia Huan not to use them indiscriminately, but to save them for future scientific examinations or when writing good poems.

Jia Huan was grateful to Jia Shan in his heart, there was no wind in the room, sand was blown into Jia Huan's eyes, and cat urine flowed out.

Jia Shan touched Jia Huan's head.

"Don't cry, just call me brother."

Jia Huan's expression paused, and he distanced himself from Jia Shan, his expression changed drastically.

"Okay, Jia Xiaosi, you gave me these things because you want to be my brother, don't you? I miss your mother's bitch, don't even think about it."

Jia Huan stared at Jia Shan with piercing eyes.

Jashan smiled provocatively.

In terms of age, he was only a few days older than Jia Huan, but he was just one year older, which made Jia Huan always brood over him.

Jia Shan avoided Jia Huan's rushing figure and played for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, Jia Huan went back with the things Jia Shan had given her.

Aunt Zhao, who was losing her temper in the room, hurried out when she heard the movement.

Seeing Jia Huan asking someone to carry a big wooden box, Aunt Zhao came up curiously.

"Son, what did you get back?"

Aunt Zhao wanted to reach out and touch it, but Jia Huan slapped her hand down.

"Don't touch it. What should I do if it breaks?"

Jia Huan reacted hugely and was careful to watch out for Aunt Zhao.

He was afraid that this thing would be snatched away by Aunt Zhao like his monthly money and would never be returned.

Aunt Zhao rolled her eyes, and her intuition told her that there must be some treasure inside.

Jia Huan stood in front of the bookcase with a dark face.

"Huan'er listen to mother, give this thing to mother, mother will keep it for you, and she will take it out for you when you get a wife."

Aunt Zhao coaxed Jia Huan with a smile, and raised her hand to move the box to her room.

Jia Huan looked anxious and hurriedly pulled Aunt Zhao.

Aunt Zhao accidentally tripped and fell to the ground while she was pulling with Jia Huan.

Jia Huan hurriedly went to help him, but was bumped into by Jia Zheng who came in.

　This is in private. In the original book, Jia Huan is called Aunt Zhao’s mother or mother in private.
