Chapter 4: No acquaintance without a fight

Little Lucky, who also discovered this fact, let out a laugh like the sound of silver bells

Upon hearing Xiao Jixiang's words, her round face flushed with anger, her eyes also reddening. Trembling her lips, she said: "You... you are talking nonsense, I... I am just afraid you won't be able to find it, wah!"

However, Jia Huan in the world of Dream of the Red Chamber is not dead

Xiao Jixiang found Jia Huan's appearance amusing and smiled, saying: "What is a bathroom?"

Xiao Jixiang successfully forgot to cry due to Jia Huan's disgust, but was on the verge of vomiting

Jia Huan, who is utterly shameless, joked.

No matter how thick Jia Huan's skin was, he still felt embarrassed to explain to a little girl which hand was responsible for the key tasks during a man's urination process

Giggling

Xiao Jixiang first pouted and furrowed her caterpillar-like eyebrows, but soon after, she smugly curled her lips and began to smile.

Jia Huan laughed and said, "Then you must be mistaken; what I meant to say is that it is adorably silly!"

Little Lucky was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he said in a tone of panic: "No, no, it wasn't me..."

Jia Huan made a strange sound of "mm-hmm" and, without bothering to express gratitude, took off running.

Jia Huan secretly laughed to himself, then teased her: "Oh dear, my sudden and inexplicable fainting this time, could it be because I scolded you that you secretly took action against me?"

Although Jia Huan in his previous life was not yet of the age of an uncle, he already possessed the heart of an uncle

In the era when Jia Huan traversed, a seven-year-old girl might already have a boyfriend, and there are even photos online of girls at that age playing with birds...

However, in this era, one can tell that purity is akin to that of a little duckling just by observing the performance of the little auspicious one

Ugh

Little Radish's caterpillar-like eyebrows twisted in a tangled manner, appearing quite sad and worried. She took a couple of steps closer and said to Jia Huan with sympathy: "Third Master, my name is Little Lucky, and I am the little maid by Auntie's side."

Call! Refresh!

Jia Huan noticed that he had truly frightened her, and feeling somewhat guilty, he quickly reassured her: "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, I was just joking, I didn't mean to scare you."

What? This little girl!

One must not take too big a step, it is necessary to proceed cautiously

He suddenly recalled that although the world of Dream of the Red Chamber is not a realm of immortals and supernatural beings, it is nonetheless filled with all manner of spirits and phantoms.

Jia Huan listened to the laughter, slowly closing his eyes. It was not that he was in such pain, nor was it that he was perverse; it was simply... he could no longer hold back his urge to urinate. He trembled as he said: "Xiao Jixiang, quickly help me change my clothes!"

A voice filled with annoyance came from beside him, startling Jia Huan. He turned to look and saw Xiao Jixiang with her small round face flushed, staring at him.

Third Master, were you really saved by Ma Daopo? But how did you suddenly faint?

Before his hand could reach his face, Xiao Jixiang took two steps back in terror, looking at Jia Huan with a face full of fear, and said: "Third Master, what do you want to do?"

As he rummaged through a pile of clothes placed on the bedside table, Jia Huan's thoughts completely drifted away.

Pah

After noting the order of dressing, Jia Huan clasped his hands and said in a formal manner: "Little Lucky, may I ask where our bathroom is? I would appreciate your guidance!"

Little did she know that the horsewoman, seeing that Auntie refused to give her money, uttered some unpleasant words, implying that Auntie was disrespectful to the Buddha and would face retribution

Seeing Jia Huan fleeing in a panic, Xiao Jixiang couldn't help but laugh. She suddenly felt that Third Master seemed to be quite well this time despite his illness

Jia Huan shook himself, having shaken off the "dragon's spittle," and walked out of the latrine, feeling extremely disgusted as he exhaled a breath, secretly pleased with himself

Little Lucky was not pleased, wrinkling her delicate nose, and said: "What is there to praise? Third Master said the other day, when he was not ill, that my name and I are both foolish and clumsy!"

Although the little auspicious one is very cute and kawaii, it is still too small. Even with tears on its face, it cannot be described as a rain-soaked pear blossom; at most, it is just a little flower cat

Light beauty, what is your name? Would you like to go with your uncle to see the goldfish?

Auntie brought thirty taels of silver to seek out Ma Daopo, but Ma Daopo found it insufficient, stating that at least three hundred taels were required

Alright! Little Lucky, you actually peeked at me while I was taking a leak

Upon hearing this, Jia Huan smiled and reached out his hand to pat the little auspicious one's head, only to awkwardly realize that the angle of his outstretched hand was not tilted downward, but rather slightly raised upward

Jia Huan shook his head and said: "Absolutely not, what it roughly means is that you are silly... cute, yes, very cute, adorable! In fact, among everyone in the Jia household, I like Little Jixiang the most, how could I possibly scold you?"

The surprise on Little Radish's face faded, her smile froze, and she blinked her big eyes at Jia Huan. However, she missed the main point: "Third Master, don't you know who I am? And who is Uncle? Is he going to see the goldfish? There are goldfish in the pond of our mansion's back garden!"

Jia Huan squinted his eyes, feeling somewhat annoyed; how troublesome this is. Isn't it much simpler to just put on a vest and wear a pair of shorts?

Xiao Jixiang has clearly understood what shyness is, her round face turned red, and her voice became softer as she said: "Go out and head south, walk along the corridor of the arcade, enter through the second flower gate, and it will be right behind that."

Auntie returned to plead with the madam and the second aunt, but where could she find the silver? Instead, she was scolded for being out of her mind

This is an extremely harsh reality; he is still not as tall as a small radish head

On the morning of the second day, Jia Huan was awakened by a sudden urge to urinate, having consumed a bit too much thin porridge the night before

Xiao Jixiang does not understand: "What is 'chunmeng'? It must still be an insult!"

Jia Huan looked at the little girl who resembled a cartoon doll, feeling a surge of affection in his heart, yet his expression grew increasingly sorrowful. He shook his head and sighed, saying: "Alas! The affairs of the world are unpredictable, and the past is like clouds; I cannot grasp these memories. I have forgotten them all, forgotten them all. Light Beauty, what is your name, after all?"

Little Jixiang is only seven years old and has not experienced much in life. Being slandered by Jia Huan and having such a serious accusation placed upon him has frightened him and made him feel extremely wronged, so he could not help but burst into tears

Giggling!

However, Auntie thought that it was the skill of Madam Ma that allowed Third Master to wake up, so she got up early to borrow some silver from Third Miss and went to the temple to thank Madam Ma

However, after contemplating for a little while, he ultimately still did not have the courage to relieve himself in the bedroom

Um...

Jia Huan, upon hearing this, scratched his head in some confusion and pretended to be distressed, saying: "Alas, I can't remember. After a serious illness, aside from my mother, I can't recall anything else. Alas!"

Jia Huan questioned, "My mother? What is she feeling guilty about?"

Little Radish transformed into a little white rabbit, suddenly bouncing in from behind the curtain, with a round face full of joy, and a pair of big, round eyes wide open, while its little mouth formed an 'O' shape

Just as he was feeling suffocated and about to give up on getting dressed, planning to relieve himself directly in the room, the curtain at the door was lifted, and a little girl with two small buns poked her head in

Yet I secretly laugh at my own pathetic fate! Having such a cute little girl to assist with dressing, isn't that a delightful thing

He indeed saw a lacquered wooden bucket placed at the entrance, which must be the legendary toilet

A perfect image of a debonair and roguish young gentleman

The previously solitary and reclusive nature seems to have vanished

Little Jixiang did not relax, staring intently at Jia Huan's hands, and said: "I am only seven years old this year, not very big, still a child like Third Master. Also, Third Master, you haven't washed your hands after using the toilet!"

As the saying goes, the affection of an older man for a younger girl is an unbreakable truth throughout the ages

Auntie used to be skeptical about this, and moreover, Ma Daopo was still the godmother by name of Bao Er Ye. Even if Auntie were to make offerings, she would be reluctant to do so in Ma Daopo's temple

Jia Huan laughed heartily and said: "Rest assured, I am right-handed, not a left-handed person"

Xiao Jixiang looked at Jia Huan with confusion, not understanding his intentions

Jia Huan humorously said: "What do you think I am doing? Of course, I am here to wipe your tears! At your age, to be crying over a joke is truly embarrassing."

Dressed in a somewhat worn red jacket, paired with emerald green trousers and complemented by a pair of pink embroidered shoes, the little girl, who appears to be around five or six years old, is quite endearing.

After waiting for two days, Third Master, you have finally woken up, yet there has been no news from her.

Then I had no choice but to change the subject and say: "Little Auspicious, who gave you such a lovely name?"

Xiao Jixiang found the usually detestable Third Master to be surprisingly amusing at this moment, his expression oddly comical. She cheerfully picked up Jia Huan's garments, putting them on one by one, layer by layer.

Jia Huan originally intended to play a joke on her, to tease this little girl, but he forgot that this era is different from the era of his previous life

Looking at the frightened little Jixiang, Jia Huan did not know what to say

Jia Huan, feeling self-conscious, extended his left hand and sniffed under his nose, then looked innocently at Xiao Jixiang and said, "It has no smell!"

Jia Huan took a serious look at Fan Xiao Jixiang and affirmed.

Madam Ma received the silver and merely said to wait for news upon returning

However, are Ma Daopo and Aunt Zhao not in cahoots? ... These two nearly managed to eliminate Jia Baoyu and Wang Xifeng together, so why now ...

Ah! Third Master, you have truly awakened!

Auntie had no choice but to gather all her personal savings, amounting to less than two hundred taels, and send it to the temple

Xiao Jixiang breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and shot a reproachful glance at Jia Huan, saying: "Third Master, such words should not be spoken carelessly. Your sudden illness this time, without any reason, nearly scared Auntie to death. She has been feeling quite guilty about it these past few days"

Jia Huan blinked and said, "It is just the toilet"

However, immediately after, Jia Huan encountered a second problem, which was that he did not know how to dress himself

That Ma Daopo is the nominal godmother of Master Bao Er, and Auntie does not dare to do anything to her, only able to harbor resentment and privately curse her a few times.

Jia Huan had one hand crossed in front of his abdomen, supporting the other hand, and the hand being supported was the most detestable, as it was actually scratching his chin

Little Radish Head is indeed a kind child full of compassion, tears welling up in his big eyes as he sympathetically asks: "Third Master, do you really not remember anything at all? The old lady, the madam, and the master, do you not remember any of them?"

Jia Huan could not bear to see a girl cry. Upon seeing Xiao Jixiang sobbing loudly, he immediately panicked and hurried forward, wanting to wipe her tears.

Is it really because of this one time that the two of them do not know each other without a fight

The little auspicious figure sighed and said, "Isn't it all because of that Ma Daopo! She is the godmother of Master Bao Er, and somehow she found Auntie that day, persuading her to offer a sacrifice to the Medicine King on your behalf, to ensure your safety, Third Master.

Who would have thought that the next day, Third Master suddenly fell into a coma. Several doctors were consulted, but none could determine the cause. Later, upon hearing that Third Master had come into contact with something unclean, Auntie recalled Madam Ma Dao.

Upon seeing such a beautiful and adorable little radish head, how could one not be moved by it

He indeed wanted to find a hole and simply put it on himself, but he could not find where the hole was at all
