Chapter 260 Feeling, Waiting

While Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang were discussing Jia Huan's marriage in the house, Yuanyang was talking to Xiren in the corridor outside the side hall.

The summer morning sun shines on the eaves, steps, rockery, and woods, with spots of light.

Baoyu was stubborn in Lin Daiyu's house, and Xiren asked Meiren to follow him, and he saw that he could talk to Yuanyang.

Xiren had a slender figure and a white and clean appearance, and said with a joke: "I heard that the old lady and his wife are discussing the marriage of the third master?" This incident has spread throughout the mansion and is the latest major event in the mansion.

Yuanyang chuckled and said, "No? I saw a lot of girls from the family! I said that the three unmarried girls in the Zhen family were all thinking about it. Oh, I just asked you a coincidence. Don't spread it. The master in your room is really with the younger brother of Grandma Rong of Dongfu (Qin Keqing) (Qin Zhong)... I heard from outside that someone complained in front of the third master."

Xiren sighed and said, "Sister, don't ask about this matter. I met in the study outside once. I don't know what it was like? I don't care, so I let Meiren persuade him. I have no intention of that anymore."

Yuanyang smiled and comforted Xiren. She was already in Bao Erye’s house, could she still serve other masters?



Baoyu and Daiyu's residence are in the courtyard of Jia Mu's upper room, not far from Jia Mu's room.

In the morning, Baoyu went to Daiyu's room next door to laugh. The relationship between the two is now repeating a quarrel and a vicious cycle of reconciliation. Today, the two are in the reconciliation stage. The information about Mr. Lin outside has not yet arrived at Daiyu.

The screen window was quiet. Bao and Dai sat in a chair by the window and spoke.

Daiyu was ridiculing Baoyu for mocking Jia Huan in the old lady's house a few days ago, and slapped Jia Huan in the face. "Idiot. Since they dare to come in, they must have been prepared. We followed Sister Zhu to watch quietly outside, but you wanted to be the elder brother, which shows that you are still not convinced. What is the result?"

Baoyu smiled and said, "Good sister. It happened more than 20 days ago. Why are you talking about this?"

Lin Daiyu held a round fan and covered her mouth and smiled tenderly. She looked exquisite. Although she was young, she had a charming and charming charm, and she was flawless.

Baoyu felt a little dazed when he saw it. Even if Qin Zhong was not stubborn with him, as long as he had Lin Meimei, he would have no regrets.

At this moment, Zijuan outside received a letter from Jia Mu and went back and forth to Daiyu, "Miss, I'm sending a message outside, saying that Aunt Lin is not good enough and wants to take the girl back to Yangzhou to meet her for the last time. Girl, come with me to the old lady."

"Ah..." The smile on Daiyu's face had not completely disappeared, and her mind was like a bolt from the blue. She felt completely disappointed. Her father was about to die!

She didn't even know why Zijuan was supported by Jia Mu. Tears dripped down her beautiful melon-shaped face. Pain covered her world like a tide.



Jia Huan, Yingchun, Tanchun and Xichun learned the news in Yingchun's room that the three girls were going to take their maids to the old lady.

Jia Huan said, "Sisters, go, I won't go." He was not likable in front of Jia Mu, and it was a mess. He sent Qingwen to follow him and comforted Daiyu with him.

After lunch, news spread throughout the Jia Mansion. The East Mansion also knew that Youshi and Qin Keqing were both driven out. Jia Mu went to the room, and Lin Daiyu cried to tears. Everyone gathered in front of Jia Mu.

The news came from Jia Mu's house to Wangyueju like flowing. The person who reported the news from the Lin family had already settled down. He was discussing who would escort Daiyu to Yangzhou to meet Lin Ruhai for the last time; whether to return to the Jia family after he went there.

Jia Huan and Ruyi were making ice cream in the bedroom while talking.

First, dissolve the sugar, pulp, milk and butter in water, and then put the water in the can; take a large plate, put water in the dish, place the can in the dish water, and continuously add saltpeter to the dish, resulting in the water in the can forming ice. Then slowly prepare and explore.

Ruyi sighed while adding saltpeter to the plate, "Miss Lin is so pitiful. She is so young that she will have no father."

Jia Huan sat at the desk and recorded the time and said softly: "It's true." Daiyu was too young. He knew that Lin Ruhai would die this year. He could not change this fate. Yangzhou and the capital were thousands of miles apart.

Seeing the pretty little girl a little sad, Jia Huan put down his brush in a funny way, "Tell me about Sister Lin, what do you want to do by yourself?" Ruyi bought it for the Jia family since she was a child. She didn't know the name of her parents, just like Qingwen.

Jia Huan held Ruyi's slender waist and let her sit on her legs. Ruyi was wearing light blue trousers and clothes today, with a tooth-pinching vest on it, and a pretty little girl. Jia Huan could clearly feel her round and pretty buttocks when she sat on his legs.

However, the little girl was in a bad mood, so he would not have any other beautiful thoughts. He hugged her, gently stroked her back, and comforted her: "I'm there."

Ruyi buried her head in Jia Huan's arms and whispered: "Yes."

Neither of them seemed to notice that the promise of a lifetime was settled at this inadvertent moment. It was extremely natural, as if it was natural.

Time flowed quietly. When Jia Huan was talking with Ruyi in his arms, Qingwen's silver bell-like laughter came from the door, "Third Master, I met you again."

Qin Keqing's maid Baozhu stood beside Qingwen with a smile on her lips. The male protagonist hugged the maid, which was normal in the mansion. But why did this scene feel a little warm?

Jia Huan just smiled and waved Qingwen and Baozhu in. Ruyi got up in a hurry, her pretty face flushed, and ran out on the excuse of pouring tea. It took a while before she came in. The sadness caused by Lin Daiyu's about to lose her father was diluted.

Qingwen told Jia Huan about the situation: Jia Mu decided to ask Jia Lian to take Lin Daiyu to Yangzhou and set off tomorrow. After Lin Ruhai's funeral was settled, she must bring Lin Daiyu back. This must be explained clearly to Lin Ruhai: Daiyu has lost her parents, grandmother and uncle. The far-reaching branches of the Lin family are not worthy of trust.

After listening calmly, Jia Huan nodded, drank tea and pondered slightly. Perhaps this was also the reason why Lin Ruhai handed over the property to Jia Lian. In the future, only Jia Mu would be serious and responsible. Lin Ruhai did not make a mistake in this regard. Feng Jie did plan to hold a wedding for Lin Daiyu for 10,000 taels of silver.

After years of official career, Lin Ruhai served as the salt inspector. If Lin Ruhai couldn't see through the young master Jia Lian, it would be unreasonable. His family income of two or three million yuan would be exchanged for Daiyu's promise to marry a good family in the future. It's really hard to say whether it's right or wrong. Of course, it must be a loss.

Jia Huan figured out Lin Ruhai’s thoughts, came back to his senses, and asked Baozhu, “Baozhu, are you asking me for something?”

Baozhu smiled and said, "San Master, our grandma asked me to bring some colored pastries and eat to thank Master San. They were all made by my grandma."

Jia Huan chuckled and said, "Well, I appreciate it."

The day before yesterday, Jia Baoyu called Qin Zhong to his outside study room to speak, and then rumors spread in the clan school, and the Jia family was spread everywhere. Jia Huan didn't ask what happened to Qin Zhong, but because of Qin Keqing's face, he suppressed the rumors. When he met, he was just a stalemate. This was too funny. People in the clan school dared to use rumors to force him to make decisions.

Baozhu smiled again and said, "Our grandma asked me to congratulate the Third Master. Third Master's teacher was released from prison, and the Third Master is more stable in the mansion."

Jia Huan couldn't help but smile, "Well, I appreciate it again."

Qin Keqing is a very smart woman. But no matter how smart she is, she is an inner relative. She is not clear about external affairs. In fact, it is best to congratulate him on escape from danger. Zheng Guojiu was imprisoned.

The mountain leader was demoted to Nanjing as the Minister of Rites, which actually had some influence on him. But Jia Zheng helped him brag in front of Jia Mu that day, saying that he drank with Zuodu Censor and the Imperial College Priest, and made friends with him. The Jia Mansion was naturally calm.

Han Qi and others in the circle of nobles are well-informed. He went to and from He Grand Secretary He's mansion and had a good relationship with Liang Xi, the right Shaoqing of Dali Temple. He would naturally know that he would not be alienated, and of course he would not be too enthusiastic. Therefore, Jia Huan is actually very quiet these days and has the time to study the production of ice cream.

All three maids giggled.



It was soon night. Jia Lian, who was busy with honeycomb coal affairs outside, came back, had a few glasses of wine with Wang Xifeng at home, and came to Wangyueju to see Jia Huan, "Brother Huan, I will send Sister Lin to Jiangnan to meet Aunt Lin. Please take care of honeycomb coal affairs for me. Brother Rong is young, and I am afraid he can't control him."

Jia Huan had already negotiated with Jia Lian about Jia Rong's investment in Fengwo Coal and occupied 20% of the shares. During this period, Ningguo Mansion has produced many people for Jia Lian. This is Jia Lian's private income and does not join the Rongguo Mansion. With Jia Rong's manpower to help, Jia Lian was much less careful.

Jia Huan laughed, "I will help you watch when I'm in the mansion. However, I will follow my teacher to study in Jiangnan in a while."

Jia Lian didn't expect that Jia Huan would go to Jiangnan, so he smiled bitterly and said, "If Brother Huan left earlier, he could go on my behalf." He was basically sent to deal with the chores in the Jia family when he went on a long trip.

Of course, Jia Huan would not exchange "tasks" with Jia Lian. Concubine Zheng has gone to the cold palace, is Concubine Jia still far away? As soon as Jia Lian left, he could deal with the eunuchs in the palace on behalf of the Jia family. He was the only one who gave gifts. Jia Huan wanted to contact Jia Yuanchun in advance.

Jia Huan comforted Jia Lian, guaranteeing that even if he left the capital, the business of the honeycomb coal would not have any problems and sent Jia Lian away.



Jia Lian still trusts Jia Huan's guarantees very much. Jia Huan's business ability is undoubtedly. After sitting home for a while, he sent someone to call Jia She.

A few candles were lit in the side hall, and the lights were a little dim. Jia She, the eldest master of the Jia family, sat in a chair, with a gloomy face that was overly drunk and colored.

After Jia Lian came in, he saluted and said, "My son has met his father."

Jia She waved his hand and signaled Jia Lian to casually and slowly spoke: "Yangzhou salt merchants gathered. Aunt Lin served as the salt inspector in Yangzhou for many years. She has a wealthy family. You go to Yangzhou and pay attention to some."

Jia Lian nodded. (To be continued.)
