JIahu, the Koi Fish

Chapter 2

Fei Xin looked around the room. Suddenly, she exclaimed softly and whispered, "That's strange. Why do I feel like the room is suddenly much warmer?

Is it an illusion? "

Jia Xie's mother was from the Shi Clan and favored her youngest son, Jia Zheng. After her husband, Jia Daishan, passed away, the pressure on the Shi Clan disappeared, and she no longer hid her favoritism.

Relying on the fact that she was his mother's elder to suppress Jia Xie, the Shi Clan ordered Jia Xie to give up the Glory Hall, where the legitimate son of the eldest branch lived. Jia Xie took the Chang Clan and a group of concubines and moved to the courtyard in the east near the stables.

The east courtyard was in a bad position. It was filled with a gloomy coldness all year round, especially in winter. No matter how many pots of charcoal were burned, it was useless.

This gloomy aura was very bad for people's health. Just now, the auspicious light that emerged from Jia Hu's glabella dispelled the gloomy aura and changed the "aura" of the room. Therefore, it was not Fei Xin's illusion that the room became warmer.

Shaking her head and smiling, Fei Xin moved an embroidery stool and sat in front of Jia Hu's couch to embroider.

After two stitches, she raised her head and looked at Jia Hu to observe his condition.

Lying in the warm bed, the medicine in his stomach gradually took effect. The discomfort in his body gradually decreased, and he slept more soundly. Unconsciously, he had a beautiful dream.

In his dream, a koi fish swam in the warm and clean lake. Sometimes, it darted into the water grass, and sometimes it swam under the rocks to scare the small fish and shrimps.

When it was hungry, it would look for the freshly sprouted aquatic plants to gnaw on.

One tree after another, just as it was engrossed in its munching, a pair of chubby and tender hands reached over and picked it up.

When the koi fish raised its head and saw a human face, it was so scared that its body stiffened. Just as it was about to jump into the lake to escape, the child suddenly smiled, lowered his head, and kissed the "Rui" character on its head. He said softly, "Koi, I'm Hu'er. From now on, we're one person."

The next moment, the koi was surprised to find itself floating into the child's body.

The moment the koi came into contact with the child, a wave of dizziness swept over it. Everything in front of the koi turned dark, and when it saw something again, it found itself standing on the shore of a lake.

In front of it was a lake as clear as a mirror. The koi lowered its head and saw the child reflected on the surface of the water.

Looking at his short and slightly round figure, he was about five or six years old.

A pair of black eyes were embedded in her eye sockets. They were prettier than pearls, brighter than the lake, and cleaner than the sky.

It blinked twice, and a layer of watery luster appeared on it. It was like a rippling jade wave, and it was filled with pure curiosity.

Wasn't this the little human doll that had grabbed it, kissed it, and said some strange words?

The koi instinctively took a step back.

One step?

After retreating, the koi's expression went blank. Suddenly realizing that something was wrong, he lowered his head to observe and saw two human legs.

Moving his gaze upward, the koi also found that his fins had turned into small human claws.

Raising his two small hands to take a look, the humanoid koi moved his head closer. His nostrils flared, and he smelled a milky fragrance, which aroused the gluttony in his stomach.

Without thinking, he opened his mouth and bit one of his fingers.

Unexpectedly, the pain came, and the humanoid koi's eyes were immediately covered with a layer of mist.

His cheeks bulged like a pufferfish, and he pursed his lips in grievance. "It hurts!"

He pouted and blew on the place where he had bitten, and the golden "Rui" character between his eyebrows turned from blurry to clear.

In a split second, many images of humans appeared in his mind.

The koi seemed to have been cast on him by a spell. He stood still with one finger raised, and his eyes looked into the distance without focus.

After a long time, the koi blinked his grape-like eyes, but he was still in a daze.

After receiving the memories, he still couldn't figure out how he had suddenly changed places, and he still couldn't figure out how he had become a human.

The only thing he knew was that he had a name now, and it was Jia Hu.

Realizing that the human child figure on the lake was his current self, Jia Hu no longer felt afraid. Instead, he squatted by the lake shore excitedly and looked at his new appearance.

Staring at the snow-white and cute little ball's reflection in the lake, Jia Hu poked the reflection's forehead, and then poked the reflection's mouth …

Every time Jia Hu poked, a ripple would appear on the lake surface. After a while, the lake surface was rippled by him, and the reflection couldn't be seen clearly.

Seeing the ripples on the lake's surface, Jia Hu guiltily hid his hands behind his back.

The dream disappeared, and the cute human Jia Hu in the quilt slowly woke up.

Without opening his eyes, he habitually wagged his tail like a fish.

This scene, in Fei Xin's eyes, was like a little ball rolling around in the quilt. It was indescribably cute.

Fei Xin thought that Jia Hu would kick the quilt because he was too hot, so she immediately put down the embroidery in her hands and went forward to hold the edge of the winter quilt.

Unexpectedly, Jia Hu felt that the restraint on his body had increased, so he simply crawled out from the top of her head.

At this time, he was only wearing a thin undershirt. After leaving the warmth of the quilt, he immediately felt a chill.

Before Fei Xin could do anything, Jia Hu crawled back into the quilt with lightning speed.

Fei Xin was speechless.

Jia Hu rubbed his cheek against the small pillow and made a satisfied sound. He clenched his hands into small fists and rubbed his eyes in a daze before he opened his sleepy eyes.

The first person he saw when he woke up was Fei Xin. Jia Hu stared at Fei Xin for a long time, pulled out Fei Xin's information from his memory, and shouted, "Sister Fei Xin?"

When he woke up, Jia Hu spoke with a small nasal voice. It was soft and endearing for no reason.

"Hu Ge'er is awake!" Fei Xin saw that Jia Hu had woken up and said with a smile, "He must be hungry since he hasn't eaten for half a day.

Please wait for a moment. This servant will ask someone to bring some hot porridge from the kitchen. "

Jia Hu had fallen into the water and caused a fever. The doctor had specially instructed that he couldn't eat greasy meat for the next two days. He could only eat some light porridge and water.

Jia Hu rubbed his soft belly and nodded in response, "Okay."

There were all kinds of human food. After watching and listening for so many years, he could finally eat it for the first time.

Hee hee, happy.

Fei Xin couldn't help but laugh inwardly at the gluttonous look on Jia Hu's face when he heard that he was going to eat.

Fei Xin bowed and left the outer room. She pointed to a young maidservant who went to the kitchen to fetch the food.

In the inner room, Jia Hu's small head poked out from under the quilt. His eyes darted around as he curiously sized up this novel world.

At this time, the Shi Clan and Lady Wang finally arrived.

Behind the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were two long rows of maidservants and young maidservants. It was such a grandiose scene that those who didn't know would think that an imperial concubine was on a trip.

Jia Xie's entire body reeked of alcohol and rouge. He bent over and followed behind the Shi Clan with a fawning look on his face.

He had gathered with a group of friends and was served wine by a female servant.

Suddenly, a servant came looking for him. With a long face, he said that Jia Hu had fallen into the water and begged him to hurry back to the residence.

Jia Xie was greatly disappointed and returned home unhappily.

As soon as he arrived at the East Courtyard where the first branch lived, he didn't have time to go back to his room to change his clothes and get rid of the smell of alcohol and rouge. Instead, he bumped into the Shi Clan and Lady Wang, who had come to visit Jia Hu.

The Shi Clan knew where he had gone as soon as she smelled his scent. In addition, she didn't like Jia Xie, her eldest son, so she immediately scolded Jia Xie as if no one else was around.

She didn't give Jia Xie any face in front of a group of servants.

"The Crown Prince was deposed recently, so the imperial court is very restless.

I told you long ago not to go out and cause trouble.

It's only been a few days, but you can't help but go to the brothels.

How many maidservants and concubines do you have in your room? Isn't that enough for you?

Do you need to go to those filthy places and find those women who have slept with thousands of men? "

"If you don't change your rotten temper, you'll definitely die in the belly of a woman in the future. You'll be a laughingstock."

Jia Xie bent over and nodded. He smiled apologetically and admitted his mistake. He didn't dare to refute a single word.

"Yes, yes, yes. Your son knows his mistake."

This biased old lady, is there no end to her scolding?

So annoying!

"Actually, your son didn't want to go out, but Hu'Er, that child, kept clamoring to go out and play all day long. He was so noisy that your son got a headache.

Your son couldn't persuade him, so I took him out.

Who would've thought that I would run into an acquaintance and be pulled away? "

As the saying goes, a father has to bear the burden of his son's responsibilities. It's only right for the son to bear some of the responsibility for his father.

Besides, Hu'Er is still young, so it's normal for him to bear the responsibility. The old madam won't say anything, right?

Lady Wang seized the opportunity to interject, "Hu'Er is already five years old. He should've started studying long ago. Why is he still thinking about playing?"

The Shi Clan's brows furrowed so tightly that they could squash a fly. She said to Jia Xie with a cold face, "You should control him more. You can't indulge him like you did today.

Take Zhu Ge for example. He's one year younger than Hu'Er, but he can already read a few books. "

When Lady Wang heard this, she smiled contentedly.

Jia Xie hurriedly agreed. She chuckled and said, "Hu'Er is a blockhead like his son. Naturally, he can't compare to Zhu Ge in reading."

That's enough. This woman is showing off again.

Hehe, all she does is stare at books all day long. Apart from eating and sleeping, she doesn't have any time to play. Sooner or later, she'll become an idiot.

Shi Clan glanced at him and said, "That's true."
