I'm in the Red Mansion

Chapter 48: Loyal and Righteous Master Huan San

The next morning, Jia Cong woke up early and waited at the intersection of Rongning Street as usual.

After a while, he got on the carriage driven by Zhao Guoji.

Seeing Jia Cong, Jia Huan called out affectionately, "Third Brother Cong, please take a seat."

Huh? Why did this guy call me Third Brother Cong again out of nowhere?
Then Jia Huan asked, "Third Brother Cong, didn't you say yesterday that you would treat me to a drink? When will you treat me? I'm free today."

Well, no wonder this guy called me Third Brother Cong as soon as he came up, it turns out I was thinking of treating him to a drink.

Jia Cong smiled and said, "Okay, since you are free today, then today is fine. After school is over, I will treat you to a drink, how about it?"

Jia Huan clapped his hands and laughed, "Third Brother Cong is really open-minded. Hehe, hehe, hehe, then it's settled then."

Jia Cong couldn't help laughing and said, "Why, don't you trust me? Oh, didn't you say yesterday that you would go back and get some information for me? Did you find out anything?"

Mrs. Wang suffered a great loss yesterday. Her housekeeper rights were taken away from her. It is estimated that she will not be able to go out for several months.

However, we still need to be more vigilant.

These women in the inner house may not be good at dealing with external affairs, but they are all experts in internal fighting.

If you are not aware of some of their shady tactics in advance, you will most likely suffer great losses.

Therefore, it is necessary to ask Jia Huan to help inquire about the news.

When Jia Huan heard Jia Cong's question, his eyes rolled, and then he said seriously: "Not yet. It takes time to get news. How can it be so fast?"

"Don't worry, Third Brother Cong. As long as I get any news about you, I will tell you right away."

Jia Cong nodded and said, "Thank you for your concern. Third Brother Huan, just rest assured. I'm sure you will benefit from it."

Jia Huan laughed and said, "Third Brother Cong, of course I believe you. By the way, you don't know that the master rested in my mother's room again yesterday. This time I saw that they played a new trick..."

Then, Jia Huan described it vividly with great excitement.

Jia Cong was suddenly amazed when he heard this. He never expected that the serious Jia Zheng could be so playful.

And there's this guy Jia Huan, he's really a weirdo, he dares to tell anyone anything.

Before I knew it, I arrived at the school.

Jia Cong continued to learn the method of eight-part essay writing from Jia Dairu.

As time went by, Jia Cong gradually discovered that Jia Dairu's attainments in eight-legged essay were mediocre.

The articles he wrote were very stiff and dull, lacking in spirituality.

If you don't have a proficiency panel, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely make progress.

Jia Cong felt that sooner or later he would be led astray by Jia Dairu.

A day passed by unknowingly.

Soon the school was over.

Just as Jia Cong had finished packing, Jia Huan ran over impatiently, picked up Jia Cong's bookcase and said:

"Brother Cong, let's get going. By the way, which restaurant are we going to?"

Jia Huan's reaction left Jia Cong speechless.

Maybe he's afraid that he'll forget to treat us, or that he'll regret it.

Jia Cong couldn't help but say, "How about we go to Qingfeng Tower on the front street?"

Qingfeng Tower was the restaurant where he invited his eldest and second brothers to drink last time.

It is also the only restaurant he has visited in the world of Red Mansions.

The environment and food taste are not bad.

After hearing this, Jia Huan's eyes lit up and he said, "Okay, okay! Let's go quickly!"

The two got in the car, and Jia Huan urged Zhao Guoji to drive faster. Soon, the two arrived at Qingfeng Tower.

Jia Cong couldn't help but ask Jia Huan: "Brother Huan, just order whatever you like."

Jia Huan waved his hand and said, "I'm not picky about food. You order the dishes. I'll eat whatever you order."

Jia Cong discovered that this was probably Jia Huan's first time in a restaurant.

Although he appeared to be nonchalant on the surface, he was probably afraid of appearing timid.

This guy is not completely heartless.

Jia Cong smiled slightly, ordered four dishes and asked for a pot of good wine.

After the wine and food came, Jia Huan became arrogant again.

He ate the food with big mouthfuls, drank from a long cup, and tried his best to act heroic.

I have to say, this guy is quite a wonderful person.

Soon, the two of them drank up the whole pot of wine.

Most of it went into Jia Huan's stomach.

Jia Huan's face flushed, his eyes were blurred, and he started talking more.

"Brother Cong, you're not satisfied with this drink yet, quickly ask the waiter to bring another pot of wine, let's get drunk today!"

Jia Cong couldn't help but laugh and said, "Brother Huan, you've drunk too much. Be careful that the Second Master hears you, or he'll beat you with a stick."

When Jia Huan heard the three words "Second Master", he couldn't help but shudder and became much more sober.

Jia Huan and Jia Baoyu are indeed brothers in distress, and both fear Jia Zheng as if he were a cat or a mouse.

Jia Huan did not dare to ask for wine again. He could not help but whispered, "Third Brother Cong, my mother did get some news yesterday."

"It was the Madam who complained to the old ancestor yesterday. I heard that Lian's second sister-in-law also exaggerated the matter in front of the old ancestor, putting all the blame on you and leaving the eldest master and the eldest madam out."

Hearing this, Jia Cong's eyes turned cold.

This is something that Wang Xifeng can do.

After all, he was just a nobody, so it didn't matter even if he was beaten to death.

She absolved Jia She and Xing Furen of their guilt in front of Lady Jia, which would inevitably reach their ears later. She was able to please her father-in-law and mother-in-law.

She is used to putting down those who are inferior and praising those who are superior.

This Feng Lazi is quite smart, but she is too smart.

The agency was too clever in its calculations, but it cost Qingqing her life!

Jia Cong said, "Brother Huan, thank you for the news you sent me. I'll offer you a glass of tea instead of wine."

Jia Cong originally wanted to say "let me toast you a glass", but unexpectedly all the wine was drunk, and in the end he could only replace the wine with tea.

Hearing Jia Cong's words, Jia Huan couldn't help but pat his chest and said, "What kind of relationship do we have as brothers? Who is with whom? If you have any problems in the future, just speak up, brother! If I say no, I won't be considered a hero!"

When the two of them were about to leave after drinking, Jia Huan suddenly said embarrassedly: "Brother Cong, this eight-treasure tofu is the first time I have eaten it. I have never eaten this dish in our house."

"I tasted it and it tastes really good. I thought my mother hasn't eaten this dish yet! Can I take the rest back and let my mother try it?"

Jia Cong was moved by these words and couldn't help but look deeply at Jia Huan.

The image of Jia Huan in the book "Dream of Red Mansions" is a negative one, with vulgar behavior, stinginess, irritability, bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

He would glare at Aunt Zhao and get angry if she said something wrong or took something incorrectly.

He really didn't expect that Jia Huan was so filial.

This guy still has some shining points.
