After Xue Baochai's visit dismissed everyone, Jia Huan comfortably entered the main room.
Jia Huan had already converted the upper room of Pear Fragrance Yard into half a study room. There was a brick bed, a desk, and a bookcase.
Jia Huan had specially changed the bed into a brick bed so that a small desk could be placed on it.
Sitting cross-legged on the brick bed, it was still the most comfortable in the cold spring. Whether it was writing an article or reading a book, it was extremely comfortable.
Caiyun made some tea with a red face, then brought it to the table and said softly,""Third Master, have some tea." To be able to come over and serve Jia Huan, she was a hundred times more than happy.
Jia Huan looked at Caiyun and said,"There's no need for that. I'm not that delicate."”
Caiyun said,"He's the master after all. As servants, we still have to serve him diligently."”
Jia Huan sighed lightly and said,"In this courtyard, there is no need to be restrained. You can do whatever you want."”
As the master and servant were talking, the little girl outside reported,"Miss Xue is here."
It was Xue Baochai.
Xue Baochai had long heard that Pear Fragrance Yard would be given to Jia Huan in the future. After she moved out of Pear Fragrance Courtyard, she still remembered the place where she used to live. It was just that hearing that Jia Huan was a wretched character and that his personality was also extremely mischievous, he felt a little awkward. However, this time, Jia Huan had won the county examination, which made her even more curious about what this Jia Huan was like.
Aunt Xue did not want to move out at first. With Pear Fragrance Courtyard, it was also close to the Jia residence. This way, her daughter could often meet Jia Baoyu and develop feelings for him over time. It was not just for show.
But now, her daughter was going to move into Grand View Garden. This was something she was happy to see. Grand View Garden, wasn't it a little closer to Jia Baoyu? He was no longer dissatisfied and sent someone to find another place to stay near the Jia residence, which was also convenient for him to come and go.
When he heard that Xue Baochai had come, Jia Huan hurried down to welcome her.
Xue Baochai had moved to Grand View Garden, but she had lived in Pear Fragrance Courtyard for a long time. When she heard that it had been given to Jia Huan, she specially came to take a look to see if Jia Huan was like the legends.
After entering the room, Xue Baochai felt different from before.
When the Xue family lived here previously, the furnishings in the house were not ordinary. Now, Jia Huan's house was actually filled with some things.
But there were many books in the room, which made Baochai nod secretly.
After they sat down, Caiyun quickly called the little girl to serve tea.
Baochai picked up the teacup and looked at it. The tea set was also ordinary. She lifted the lid and found that the color of the tea was also ordinary. She took a sip of the tea and found that the tea leaves were also very ordinary. It was neither Biluochun nor Longjing, but it was normal. Jia Huan was a bastard son, what good things could he have?
However, Jia Huan did not seem to mind at all. Looking at the calm Jia Huan, Xue Baochai felt that the rumors were wrong. How was this Jia Huan wretched? He was clearly a handsome and good youth.
After walking around the room, Xue Baochai said,""Now I know what a scholar is like.”
"Sister Xue, don't laugh at me." Jia Huan laughed.”
Sister Xue was a different form of address from everyone else. Others called her Sister Bao or Miss Bao, but this Jia Huan was a polite person.
Xue Baochai touched the room and said,""It's different. It's really different.”
"What's different?" Caiyun asked curiously.”
"I can't tell, but it's different from before." I almost couldn't recognize the place where I used to live.”
"Miss, what you mean is that Third Master is a scholar and is different from others."”
Jia Huan smiled." What's the difference? We all have one nose and two eyes."”
"It's different," said Xue Baochai.”She was a businessman, so she was more concerned about class hierarchy. Since ancient times, scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants had always been at the lowest level of these four classes, regardless of which dynasty they were in. They were not even allowed to easily participate in the imperial examinations. She could still deal with the wealthy Jia family, but if it was really the Jia family that had been passed down from generation to generation, then she really couldn't.
Jia Huan looked around and found that there was only Go in the room for him to play. Moreover, he was a bad chess player. If Xue Baochai was very good at chess, it would be embarrassing. For a moment, the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Baochai had long since seen that Jia Huan, as a bastard son of the Jia family, had nothing good. "I'm just here to take a look. I'll be leaving soon. I've asked your second brother out to see the lanterns."”
There was still a festive atmosphere in the Grand View Garden. All kinds of lanterns were distributed to the courtyards and lit up. It was very beautiful at night.
Jia Huan also yearned for these lanterns. Although he was no longer a teenager, he naturally liked beautiful things.
Especially at night, all kinds of lanterns were lit and hung at the entrance of each courtyard. The lanterns swayed gently with the breeze, giving the feeling of paradise on earth.
This reminded him of the Lantern Festival when he was a child. A group of children would carry their lanterns and run wildly on the empty road. From time to time, someone's lantern would be knocked over and then lit up by the wind.
Now, as the Third Young Master of Rong Mansion, even if he was born of a concubine, he couldn't carry a lantern everywhere.
Some time ago, during the Lantern Festival, he had seen Jia Cong wandering around the residence with a lantern in his hand. Although he looked like he wanted to go and have fun, he had to hold back in the end. There was no master like him in the entire residence.
The sky gradually darkened, and the Grand View Garden was already lit up. Needless to say, it was definitely brightly lit.
"Little sister, look, I can't get tired of looking at the lotus flower lamp at the entrance of the courtyard.”Jia Baoyu was in a very good mood. Ever since these lanterns entered the Jia residence, he had been looking forward to the sky getting dark every day so that he could light them up.
Sure enough, the Grand View Garden under the lights had a unique charm. Xue Baochai did not join in the fun with Jia Baoyu. Instead, she sat in her room and played chess.
Ying 'er was smart. Looking at her young miss, she asked softly,"Miss, would you like some tea?"
Xue Baochai suddenly thought of the tea she drank at Jia Huan's place during the day. Compared to her own tea, it could only be considered barely edible.
"Give me a pot."
Ying 'er quickly called the servant girl to bring the tea over. Baochai took a sip, and the fragrance of the tea filled her cheeks.
Ying 'er really wanted to ask if her miss was thinking about Jia Huan, but she couldn't ask. Xue Baochai stood up and walked to her desk. There was a small bookcase behind the desk with a few books for her younger daughter. She touched it and said to Ying 'er behind her,"Go and send a box of our Cloud Mist Tea to Pear Fragrance Courtyard.”
Ying 'er lowered her head and was about to leave when Xue Baochai's voice came from behind."Forget it. There's no need to go."
Xue Baochai sighed in her heart. Ying 'er stood obediently at the side and did not say anything.
