After the messenger left, Madam Wang and Zhou Rui's family had a detailed discussion.
"I didn't expect that this Brother Huan could really pass the examination.”Madam Wang couldn't help but sigh. She couldn't hide the regret in her heart. Why didn't she care about Baoyu a little? I don't count on you, but you should at least study hard in school!
Zhou Ruijia rolled his eyes and said,"Yes, Madam. In this servant's opinion, it's time to make room for Third Master.”These words changed a little too quickly, and Madam Wang couldn't catch up.
Madam Wang glanced sideways at Zhou Rui's family. This was her escort who had followed her here. Her heart was definitely on her side. She suddenly made such a suggestion. No one knew what she was thinking. "What do you think?" he asked.”
"Second Master Bao is about to move into the Grand View Garden," Zhou Rui's wife whispered,"and all the young ladies will be moving in as well." There were many empty courtyards in the residence. It's empty anyway, Madam might as well do him a favor.”
"If that's all you're thinking, then I'll just ignore it." Madam Wang said.”
Zhou Rui's wife continued,"I'm wondering if Second Master has too many maids around him, so Third Master won."”
Madam Wang began to frown. What Zhou Rui's family said made sense. There were four older maids, Xiren, Qingwen, Qiu Hen, Sheyue, and a group of younger maids. Even Lin Zhixiao's daughters were sent over. Counting carefully, there were actually more than ten of them.
Zhou Rui's family continued,"But although there are many maids around Second Master, it's extremely difficult to drive them away." She might as well give the Third Young Master a few more servant girls. This way, she would appear to be too magnanimous.”
Sister Phoenix, who was beside her, could not help but sneer in her heart. Her aunt was really scheming. Jia Baoyu's studies were not good, but he could actually blame it on a woman.
Madam Wang nodded repeatedly. That's right, Baoyu had too many maids around him. Each and every one of them probably had the dream of becoming a concubine in their hearts, right? With such a vixen by her side, what good could her precious jade learn?
However, even if he wanted to chase her away, he had to take it slow. He could not add more people to his side.
Zhou Rui's family stood on the ground submissively. Madam Wang really thought that this was a good idea. Firstly, he could show his mother's generosity. Secondly, he could let Huan Laosan stay in the gentle place. This way, even if Baoyu did not improve, he would not be able to show off.
"Take a look," he instructed Sister Feng."I'll let you pick a courtyard and assign a few maids to serve you."”
Sister Feng replied," It's easy to pick a courtyard. There are so many empty ones on the left and right. Brother Huan, you can pick one yourself." But as for this girl, Second Mistress, I'm the sister-in-law. How can I give my brother-in-law a place to stay?”
Madam Wang nodded and turned to look for Zhou Rui's family."You go back and discuss with Lin Zhixiao's family, according to the previous example, give it to brother Huan's servant girls.”
Zhou Ruijia bowed and agreed.
On the other side, Jia Huan was happily counting the silver. After receiving everyone's congratulatory gifts, he counted the money in his hands. He had nearly two hundred taels of silver. This was enough for him to squander for a while.
However, he still had to make a quick trip to the teacher's side.
He immediately brought Zhao Guoji along. Now that he had money, he rented a car. When they reached the market, they first bought a sheep, then a jar of wine, and slowly drove to Mr. Qian's house.
On the way, Zhao Guoji was also beaming with joy."If Mr. Qian knew that Third Young Master had won the case, he would be so happy!”
Jia Huan was also very happy. This time, he did not embarrass his teacher.
When they arrived at the entrance of the Qian Manor, Qian Huai ran out of the gatehouse. It seemed that he had long received news of Jia Huanzhong's case head, so he was waiting here.
"Congratulations, Third Young Master. Old Master has been waiting for a long time." Qian Huai said flattery, but his face was also full of wrinkles. His master's disciple was high school, and he felt proud.
Jia Huan handed the sheep and wine to Qian Huai and stuffed a few silver ingots into Qian Huai's hand. He said,"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Huai."
Qian Huai smiled so hard that his teeth could not be seen." I didn't do anything. How is it hard?"”Then, he quickly led the way in front and called out to the servant in the courtyard, saying,"Send the sheep and wine to the kitchen."
After crossing the courtyard, Qian Huai said,"Old Master has been waiting in the study for a long time. Third Young Master, please come in."”
When they reached the study, Jia Huan solemnly kowtowed to Qian Yuben.
Qian Yuben hurriedly got Jia Huan to stand up and nodded with a smile."You're so hardworking! I didn't expect this either.”
Jia Huan also smiled and said,"I was just lucky." However, he did not embarrass his teacher.”
Qian Yuben chuckled,"It's good to know that I was lucky." The capital examination is imminent, I wrote some essays earlier, you can take them back and study them.”
The kitchen was already slaughtering the sheep. Qian Yuben continued,"Don't leave later. Go back after eating.”
Jia Huan agreed. The chefs of the Qian Residence were quite skilled. The mutton was cooked extremely delicious. Jia Huan flung his sleeves and ate heartily. Looking at Jia Huan's young figure, Qian Yuben felt comforted.
After the meal, Qian Yu carefully explained some exam techniques to Jia Huan before letting him go back.
On the way back, Zhao Guoji, who was sitting on the shaft of the carriage, kept humming happily. Just now, he was not allowed to eat at the Qian Manor. However, Qian Huai specially arranged another table to entertain him and even personally accompanied him, making him exceptionally happy.
When Jia Huan arrived home, Aunt Zhao came over excitedly and said,"Brother Huan, Second Madam Lian came over just now and told you to pick a courtyard so that it would be convenient for you to study in the future. Which one do you want to pick?"
There was such a good thing? Jia Huan was also very happy when he heard that. He had long wanted to have his own courtyard. Who wouldn't want to have an independent space? However, he was a bastard son. His family would never think of arranging a courtyard for him. Now, with the help of the head of the case, he could actually get what he wanted.
"There are golden houses in books. The ancients really didn't deceive me!”Jia Huan could not help but think to himself.
"Then I'll go talk to Second Sister-in-law.”Jia Huan's feet felt the wind as he quickly walked towards Jia Lian's courtyard.
When they arrived at Jia Lian's place, Sister Feng happened to be there. When she saw Jia Huan, Sister Feng smiled and said,"Yo, what kind of wind is this? Even the future top scorer is here.”
"Second sister-in-law is laughing at me," Jia Huan said with a smile. Then, he paused for a moment and continued,"I heard YiNiang say that Second Sister-in-law is helping me prepare the courtyard?”
"Exactly," said Sister Feng. I couldn't find you in the morning, but now you're here. Take a look, which part is to your liking?”
Jia Huan asked,"Where is it still empty?"”
Sister Feng took out a piece of paper and said,"There are quite a lot of empty places." Now that all of his sisters were moving into the Grand View Garden, there was a lot of space left. If your Brother Bao also goes in, his courtyard will also be empty.”
Jia Huan looked at the courtyard on the paper and pointed to a place."I think it's quiet here."
