It is said that at the beginning of human beings, their natures are good, their natures are similar, but their habits are far apart. If they are not taught, their natures will change.
Jia Baoyu and Jia Huan were both sons of Jia Zheng of Rongguo Mansion, but they received different education since childhood.
Jia Baoyu is the legitimate son of the Jia family and the biological son of Mrs. Wang. He was born with a jade in his mouth. Naturally, he was pampered by everyone in the family. He wanted mountains for mountains and seas for seas. Naturally, he grew up to be as precious as a jade leaf.
But Jia Huan doesn't have this kind of treatment.
Because his mother is Aunt Zhao, Mrs. Wang's "love rival".
Regardless of where I was born, my concubine has several mountains on her head, and she has to be respectful to each of them.
Anyone can bully her, even the slaves look down on her.
Although Aunt Zhao gave birth to a son and a daughter, it can be seen that she was favored by Jia Zheng.
But Mrs. Wang, the mistress of the house, has many ways to deal with it.
Tanchun is a girl, so she will not pose a threat to Baoyu. If she marries into a good family in the future, she may be able to help Baoyu.
So Mrs. Wang raised her with care.
But Jia Huan is different.
A bastard, living like a mouse every day, being out of sight and out of mind is the next best thing.
It's better to annoy others.
Mrs. Wang has a solution for this.
Aunt Zhao herself was a shameless person, so she gave her biological son to be raised by herself, promising that he would be "a wretched person with rough behavior."
As time went on, Jia Huan's mentality changed drastically. He never regarded Aunt Zhao as his biological mother. If Aunt Zhao said something to him, or accidentally gave him the wrong thing, he would turn his head, stare, and get angry at her.
temper.
Such a person, even if he grows up to be Pan An, probably not many people will like him.
In the feudal era, the mistress of a wealthy family usually treated the concubine born to her aunt in this way.
Bastards who grow up like this are either so honest that they are bullied by others, or they behave in such a vulgar way that they are annoying.
Very few stand out.
Of course Mrs. Wang would not kill the concubine to vent her anger because of Aunt Zhao, but how difficult would it be to ruin Jia Huan's future?
Every day, he was allowed to indulge in random activities, and within a few days, he became a frequent visitor to gambling stalls and even went to Goulan brothel to have a look.
Therefore, it is not surprising that he owes huge gambling debts.
At the beginning, he also stole Aunt Zhao's private money to pay off his debts. After stealing all the money, he went to find Tanchun.
But Tanchun, a concubine, is trapped in the Grand View Garden even if she is a rose with thorns. What ability can she have to pay off his debts?
In Jia Huan's eyes, his mother's scoldings and his sister's scoldings went in one ear and out the other.
At this moment, in a corner of Rongguo Mansion, Jia Huan stopped a maid and said sternly: "Caixia, it was you who said that whenever I have difficulties, I might as well come to you for help? How come, this is really the time to use you.
, just to make Third Master cry about being poor?!"
Caixia is Mrs. Wang's personal maid.
I don’t know if he is a pedophile or if he is obsessed with lard, but he actually has a good impression of Jia Huan.
I usually help him secretly a few times.
But now, he looked embarrassed and couldn't help crying: "Third Master, I am just a servant. Even if I have saved some savings, I can't withstand your three or five times of begging. To be honest with you, sir.
The money I got back was borrowed from Yuanyang after begging for a long time."
After hearing this, Jia Huan excitedly grabbed her arm and said, "Then let's borrow it again! Yuanyang has borrowed it, doesn't he still have the gold bracelet? Doesn't there still be Xiren? Isn't there Ping'er?
Huh? You also have a good reputation in front of your wife, and you have a good relationship with those maids with eyes reaching to the sky. They are all servants of the master's family, and they must always get benefits from you..."
"Huan Laosan!"
With a sharp shout, Jia Huan's eager and greedy expression suddenly froze on his face.
I saw Jia Lian wearing official uniform, very impressive, with cold eyes, staring at Jia Huan, as if he was reluctant to cut out his tongue.
"Brother Lian."
Jia Huan was startled, fear arose in his heart, he couldn't help but let go of Caixia's arm, and shouted tremblingly.
During this period of time, Jia Lian was working as an errand in the Yamen. In just a short period of time, he surpassed his uncle and became a fifth-rank General Affairs Secretary. His power was self-evident. Even in the Rongguo Mansion, his status skyrocketed.
Although he still had to fulfill his filial piety when facing the old lady, Jia She and his wife, and Jia Zheng and his wife, no one treated Jia Lian as an official.
Mrs. Wang, in particular, has been smiling and even a little cautious when seeing Jia Lian recently.
Everyone in the house said that Mr. Lian had become an official. Mrs. Wang naturally had to treat it seriously as the saying goes that the Qi nourishes the body.
But only a few people know the truth inside.
Jia Lian came over and glared at Jia Huan. Just as he was trembling all over, he sneered: "I didn't know that Huan Laosan, who ruined my mother's pension money, actually squeezed the maids' bodies.
It’s so majestic and prestigious!”
"Two...two...second brother, I...I..." Jia Huan's lips were trembling, but he was speechless.
"Isn't it crazy to be in front of a maid? Why are you so gentle in front of me? You still call yourself a man, what kind of man are you?" Jia Lian shouted coldly.
Jia Huan had been scolded by his family for a long time. Even if he was afraid of Jia Lian, it was because of his official authority that he didn't take his scolding to heart.
Na Caixia immediately knelt down and said hurriedly: "Second Master, Third Master is still young and his mind has been deceived by others. Please forgive me for the sake of the family..."
"Whatever I want to do, I don't need you as a maid to teach me. You should go and serve the second wife."
Jia Lian said coldly, and then said to Jia Huan: "Lao San Huan, if you want to solve this problem once and for all, come with me! If you want to continue to be like this, wait for the people outside to hate you.
If your hands and feet are chopped off, you can do what you want."
After saying that, he shook his body and left with his hands behind his back.
What should Jia Huan do?
Of course he didn't want to be dealt with by those gambling debt financiers.
But after all, he was young, and he was afraid that Jia Lian would deal with him.
So I hesitated for a while, gritted my teeth, and looked in a daze, not knowing what I should do.
"Third Master, I would like to advise you that you should follow Second Master Lian. After all, we are a family, and he is an official. He will not use your brother as a trap." Caixia advised from the side.
"Okay, it's your turn to teach me what I want to do!"
Jia Huan snorted coldly and followed Jia Lian's footsteps.
When Jia Huan's figure walked away, Caixia had already stood up. She stared at Jia Huan's figure for an unknown amount of time before sighing in a low voice and turning around to leave.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, he suddenly found a person behind him. He was startled and almost screamed.
I quickly gathered myself together, but I saw that she was a girl, with slim shoulders, slim waist, and tall figure. She had a duck-oval face, handsome eyes, and beautiful eyebrows. Her gaze was astonishing, her literary talent was exquisite, and she forgot all the vulgarity upon seeing her.
She called out: "Miss San."
It was Jia Tanchun.
Jia Tanchun looked at Caixia, sighed, stretched out his hand to hold Caixia's hands, and said: "Sister Caixia, you are really suffering. You take this little silver, and I will pay it back to you as a ring. You are not rich either.
"
"Third Miss, I don't need this slave." Caixia couldn't help but blushing and struggled to get away.
However, Tanchun's attitude was very firm and he forced it into her hand and said: "I know what you are thinking. Now I have asked my cousin from the Lin family to take action and let King Huan'er go on the right path. If you can wait, you might as well wait patiently."
Two years."
After saying this, Caixia's face tightened, and then she blushed even more, her eyes flashed with hope, and she just said: "With Young Master Lin Biao taking action, the Third Master will definitely have a future."
At this point, she said worriedly: "It's just two months of forced labor, it won't make the third master sick."
Tan Chun was startled, then laughed: "How come, Huan'er is not the brother of the Xue family, he is just a victim. He has not done anything bad, so why does he need to go to a labor camp?"
But I couldn't help but feel a beat in my heart: "I wonder how Cousin Lin can deal with Huan'er so that he can change his ways? It won't really be like how he treated Brother Xue, right?"
Thinking of this, I felt a little uneasy, so I comforted Caixia for a few words and left in a hurry.
