The weather was gradually getting hotter. Jia Huan could only get up early in the morning to read a book.
A few days later, the Jia family was going to Qingxu Temple to hold a ceremony.
The East and West Manors were mobilized at the same time, and it was very lively. Because Madam Wang's body was not feeling well, she still had to prepare in case Yuan Chun sent someone over, so she did not follow. The rest of the people who could go all went. Jia Huan was naturally inside.
As the wife of the High Duke, Grandmother Jia's imposing manner was naturally incomparable to others. The eight-man palanquin also opened everyone's eyes. The rest of the people could only take the four-person sedan chair. For example, the unmarried daughters all took the carriage.
Jia Baoyu rode a tall horse beside Grandmother Jia. Jia Huan, Jia Lian, and the others were all in their cars.
Caiyun lifted the curtain happily and looked at the street outside. She said,""It's still more lively outside. Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've come out.”
As the saying goes, once you enter the noble family, it's as deep as the sea. The Jia Residence was a Duke's Residence, so its standards were naturally superior. The young ladies and daughters-in-law inside couldn't go out easily, let alone the servant girls serving them.
Grandmother Jia said that anyone who wanted to go out could go out. Therefore, with this opportunity, everyone naturally scrambled to go out.
Jia Huan only brought Caiyun, so he had to leave someone in the courtyard.
Seeing Caiyun's excited expression, Jia Huan couldn't help but smile.
The Jia Residence had a huge entourage, and when the pedestrians outside saw this, they were all speechless. Jia Baoyu, who was in front, had a myriad of manners, looking like a handsome young man.
Not long after, they arrived at the Qingxu Temple.
Taoist Zhang of the Qingxu Temple used to be the substitute of the Duke of Rong State. The late emperor also called him the Great Illusion Immortal. His status was extraordinary.
After catching up with Grandmother Jia, Taoist Zhang sized up Jia Baoyu and actually opened his mouth to propose marriage to Jia Baoyu."A while ago, I saw a young lady in a house. She's fifteen years old this year, and she looks quite good. I thought that it was time for my brother to find his relatives. In terms of appearance, intelligence, and family background, this young lady was worthy of it. But what about the old lady? Little Daoist didn't dare to act rashly. He only dared to tell others after asking the old lady for permission.”"Last time, a monk said that this child shouldn't be married early," Grandmother Jia said."We'll decide when she's older." You can ask around now. No matter if he has a rich foundation, as long as his appearance is worthy, it's fine. Even if that family was poor, they would only give him a few taels of silver. It was just that it was rare for her appearance and personality to be good.”
Listening to the conversation between the two, Jia Huan was deep in thought. He secretly took a look at Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai. He wondered if the girl Taoist Zhang was talking about was Xue Baochai. In the later Redology, the view that this girl was Xue Baochai was very dominant.
After a while, Taoist Zhang sent someone to deliver a pile of things, including gold and jade. Jia Baoyu sent someone to collect them. Later, of course, he would have to give them more money. After all, he couldn't take things for free.
After Daoist Zhang left, Jia Zhen came over and said that the show was done.
Caiyun was already looking forward to it. Since they had arrived at Qingxu Temple, Jia Huan did not have to worry about safety. For the next few days, it must have been the Jia residence, so the safety of the surroundings was naturally not a problem. Thus, he gave Caiyun a break and let her relax for a few days.
Caiyun found Cai Xia, Jin Chi 'er, and Yuchuan' er, who had been serving Lady Wang, and waited to watch the show.
"How's Third Master?" Cai Xia asked curiously.
Not to mention Cai Xia, Jin Chuer and Yuchuan 'er were also very curious. The two of them were biological sisters. Even if they were concubines, they could not marry the same man. They still had to be separated. Since they were both serving Madam Wang, it would depend on who had the better fate. Of course, this good luck was definitely given to Jia Baoyu. If their fate was bad, then they would be dragged out to match up to young men when they reached their age. Jin Chuer and Yuchuan 'er naturally didn't want to go out and marry the boy. It would be best if they could stay in the Jia residence. He couldn't go to Baoyu's side, but there was still Jia Huan. After all, he was about to become a scholar, so he was not ordinary.
Caiyun's face was slightly red. She looked in the direction of the stage and said,"Third Master is also very good. He was also generous and polite to his servants.”
"Is it because Third Master hasn't touched you yet?" Jin Chi 'er asked with a smile. Then what about knowing etiquette…"
Caiyun blushed and said,"Don't talk nonsense, Third Master will only be fourteen years old."”
Cai Xia also poked Cai Yun with her finger and said,""Little girl, you're shy, hahahaha.”The servant girls laughed and made a scene.
After a while, the show began.
Jia Huan didn't understand the play, so he sat beside Grandmother Jia and chatted with Yingchun in a low voice.
On the other side, Jia Baoyu was already picking out the things that Taoist Zhang had sent over. When Grandmother Jia saw a Kirin with red gold and green spots, she reached out to rummage through it and picked it up. She smiled and said,"I think I saw someone's child wearing this.”"Big Sister Shi has one, a little younger than this one," said Baochai with a smile.”"It's Yun 'er who has this," Grandmother Jia said.”"I didn't see him coming to our house," Baoyu said.”"Big Sister Bao is so thoughtful. He remembers everything, no matter what."”"He's still limited in other aspects," Lin Daiyu sneered,"but he's paying more attention to the things these people bring."”When Baochai heard this, she turned around and pretended not to hear. Jia Huan also looked at it curiously. It was indeed an extremely exquisite thing. When Baoyu heard that Shi Xiangyun had this item, he quickly picked up the Kirin and put it in his arms. On the other hand, he was afraid that people would see him and hear that Shi Xiangyun was pregnant, so he kept this dress. Therefore, he held it in his hand and glanced at people. Everyone else was not very reasonable, except for Lin Daiyu, who nodded at him with admiration. Feeling embarrassed, Baoyu took it out again and smiled at Daiyu."This thing is so stubborn. I'll keep it for you and wear it when we get home.”Lin Daiyu turned her head and said,"I don't care."”"You really don't care," Baoyu said with a smile."I'll take it."”As he spoke, he put it away again. No one else cared, but Jia Huan knew that Lin Daiyu must be feeling uncomfortable again.
When they returned, Lin Daiyu actually suffered a heatstroke. Jia Baoyu naturally wanted to visit. Because of Daoist Zhang's marriage proposal, the two of them could not help but have a little friction, and then they reconciled.
Then, it was Xue Pan's birthday.
Xue Pan's birthday was naturally accompanied by drinking and opera performances. This time, it was rare for Xue Pan to invite Jia Huan along. Jia Huan couldn't refuse, so he left with Jia Lian.
The banquet was very lively. Because Jia Huan was about to have an official position, Xue Pan was very polite to Jia Huan. Although Xue Pan was ignorant and incompetent, he still respected scholars.
Looking at Jia Huan's appearance, Xue Pan actually felt that it wasn't worth it for his sister. Her mother was too anxious. She had taken a fancy to Baoyu long ago and insisted on sticking to him. In the end, she still hadn't gotten a definite answer. As long as it could be completed in a few years, there was no need to be in such a hurry. It was also very good to have Jia Huan now. What a pity, what a pity. Then, he looked at Jia Baoyu. Today was his birthday, but he actually didn't appear!
After drinking this wine, Jia Huan returned to Pear Fragrance Courtyard, slightly drunk. After returning, Caiyun would naturally serve him the hangover soup.
"Third Master, you can't drink so much anymore. The Dao examination is only a few months away. Mr. Qian is still waiting to see your essay.”
Listening to Caiyun's long-winded words, Jia Huan felt that this little girl was like a housekeeper.
