After playing a few rounds, Tanchun came in. Seeing Jia Huan and Xichun's excited looks, he couldn't help but shout,"There are no rules! He actually started gambling here."
When Jia Huan saw Tanchun, he knew that he was going to lose interest.
Putting everything else aside, he was definitely of the same mind as Madam Wang.
"Alright! Third Sister, please calm down. It's all my fault for bringing Fourth Sister to play dice. I'll go back and read my books now!" Jia Huan opened his mouth wide and took responsibility.
Tanchun's mouth was still unforgiving." You should be more mature too. Don't only know how to play all day."”
"I'll go find Second Brother. There's nothing wrong with following Second Brother."”
What could be good about Jia Baoyu? He did not know what he was doing now, but Jia Huan was sure that Jia Baoyu was definitely not reading. Even if he was reading, it was definitely not a serious book.
Tanchun also knew that Jia Baoyu wasn't doing anything serious. If Jia Huan were to hold him back, then he would definitely have his own twisted logic.
"Second Brother went to the East Mansion to socialize. What are you going to do?"”
"Then I'll go back too," Jia Huan said lazily. It's good to practice your calligraphy."
After watching Jia Huan leave, Tanchun said hatefully,"He only knows how to play all day. He looks like a good-for-nothing.”
"Third Sister, I actually brought Third Brother over from Second Sister. We were playing chess just now."”
"Don't play with him too much in the future," Tanchun said."Don't be led astray by him."”
"Third Older Brother is still a very good person."”
Tanchun pinched Xichun's little nose.”
Xichun felt that Tanchun's prejudice against Jia Huan was too deep. If they were not born from the same mother, who knew how happy Tanchun would be.
Jia Huan strolled back to his room. Since he had nothing to do, he took a topic from the book and wrote an article.
It is not only wise men who have this kind of heart, but everyone has it, and wise men can not lose it.
Grind the ink, take the pen, and solve the question.
It was Yingchun's birthday next month, so he had to think about it.
Jia Huan thought as he finished writing the article.
He could already be said to have entered the rudiments. It was good to be young. With his eyes looking up at the sky, a good article was right in front of him. He could just pluck it directly.
After finishing it in one go, Jia Huan became more and more satisfied.
Yingchun liked Go, so Jia Huan thought about it and strolled back to the street.
The Official Records of the Great Chess Master of the late Ming Dynasty, who was over a hundred years old, was excellent. He would buy it!
Jia Huan's monthly allowance was also two taels of silver. Although Sister Feng did not deduct it now, Jia Huan still needed to buy books, paper, and ink. His hands were also very tight.
The Official Records was the most suitable thing he could think of.
Yingchun's birthday was coming soon, so Jia Huan was naturally invited.
After wrapping up the book, Jia Huan rushed to Yingchun House excitedly.
There were already some people gathered inside. Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, Tanchun, and Xichun had all arrived.
After delivering the gift, Jia Huan quietly whispered to Xichun. In this room, only Xichun was willing to pay attention to him.
After a while, Shi Xiangyun also arrived. The room was lively with people chattering.
Seeing Jia Huan's caution, Xue Baochai walked over and asked,"Brother Huan, I heard that you've done a good job writing articles. Are you going to participate next year?”
Jia Huan nodded and said,"I want to try next year."”
Jia Baoyu sighed and said,"Alas, the world is mediocre." What a pity, what a pity!"
Jia Huan smiled and did not refute.
Xue Baochai stretched out her hand and pointed at the empty air.”
Lin Daiyu said," It's good to be casual. If reading makes people tired, what's the point?"”
"Sister Lin's words are deeply in my heart." Jia Baoyu nodded.”
Baochai wanted to persuade him again, but Lin Daiyu reached out and pulled Jia Baoyu to the side.
On the other side, Yingchun had already called everyone to listen to the opera, so the group of people went to the stage in a lively manner.
Over at the stage, Jia Zheng was asking about the repair status of the garden. Jia Lian answered one by one, saying that it would be completed by the end of the month.
Jia Zheng was relieved. The Imperial Consort was about to return home, and this could not be delayed.
After Yingchun's birthday, the Jia family's focus shifted to the garden.
One day, Jia Zhen and the others came to report, saying,"The construction of the garden has already been completed. The Grand Master has already seen it. We are just waiting for the Grand Master to see it. If there is anything inappropriate, we will modify it and write a couplet on the horizontal board.”When Jia Zheng heard this, he pondered for a moment and said,""This plaque is a difficult thing to do. On the ceremony should ask the imperial concubine to give the title is, but if the imperial concubine does not personally see the scene, it is difficult to draw up. If you wait for the imperial concubine to visit again to ask for the title, if there is a big scenery, a number of pavilions, no words title, even flowers, willows, mountains and rivers, also can not add color.”The guests laughed and replied,"Old Master, you are right. Now we have an idea: the tablets must be everywhere, and they must not be fixed. Now according to the scenery, or two words, three words, four words, virtual according to its meaning to draw up, temporarily make lamp plaque couplet hanging, wait for the imperial concubine to visit, then ask for a name, isn't it perfect?”"What you see is not wrong," Jia Zheng said. Let's go and take a look today. Just write it down. If it's appropriate, use it. If it's not appropriate, invite Yucun over and let him draft it again.”Everyone laughed,"Master, you've decided on a good plan today, so why wait for Yu Village?"”Jia Zheng smiled." You don't know this: I've been mediocre at writing poems on flowers, birds, and mountains and rivers since I was a child. Now that I'm old and busy with paperwork, I'm even more unfamiliar with this kind of pleasant writing. Even if it was drawn up, it would inevitably be pedantic, but it would make the flowers and willows garden pavilion lose its color and become meaningless.”"That's fine," said the guests. We all read the public draft, each cited their strengths, good to retain, bad to delete, not impossible.”"That's right," said Jia Zheng. We are glad that the weather is warm today. Let's go shopping.”As he spoke, he stood up and led everyone over. Jia Zhen first went to the garden to inform him.
Baoyu was also called over by Jia Zheng. Together with the other guests, they looked at the garden and came up with many names while waiting for the Imperial Concubine to come.
In addition, he bought twelve girls from Suzhou and began to set up the Jia family's opera troupe. In addition, he bought twelve little nuns and a hair-wearing cultivator, Miao Yu, who also came.
Jia Huan looked from afar and saw an extremely beautiful woman inside. He guessed that it was Miao Yu.
When everything was ready, it would be the new year again. There was also an edict from the palace, saying that the imperial concubine was scheduled to return on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
This time, Liannian wasn't doing well either. Everyone had to prepare for Yuanchun's visit. Everyone was busy at home. Who had the time to care about other matters?
However, Jia Huan still had to celebrate the new year. It was not for anything else, but he had to go to Mr. Qian's side.
After presenting the New Year's gift, Mr. Qian asked Jia Huan to stay in the study to talk.
"The county examination will be held in February next year.”
Jia Huan replied,"Yes, sir." If this disciple is good enough, he can still make it to the capital examination. If he passes the capital examination, he can still make it to the Dao examination this year. I want to give it a try."
Mr. Qian looked at Jia Huan. Although your current writing is passable, it's still not experienced enough.”
Jia Huan smiled." It's not a test. Let's try it first."”
Mr. Qian also smiled. Test with your heart, don't tarnish my reputation as a teacher.”
Jia Huan said,"I will definitely put in my best effort. In the future, I will be the top scorer and give Teacher a long face."”
Qian Yuben was overjoyed.
