The Red Chamber: Lianyufengchai

The old lady urged him a few words, but she didn't know that Baoyu was full of sisters and sisters, so she ignored him, and after hearing the old lady call him, she blurted out: "Old Ancestor, if you don't let them go, they won't play with me. already."

The old lady was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Okay, don't let them go."

Madam Wang's face was not good, so she hurriedly reprimanded: "Baoyu, don't make a fool of yourself!"

The old lady also coaxed him, "You read that poem to them!"

Baoyu suddenly felt embarrassed, "Old Ancestor, that's just a joke, it shouldn't be taken seriously!"

The old lady said displeased: "Why are you hiding it for a while now, if you don't tell me, I'm going to be annoyed!"

Baoyu did not speak in a rare twist, but the old lady urged her repeatedly. She had no choice but to read in a low voice, "When the moon is dark, I see a fishing lantern, and a solitary light is a little firefly. There is a slight wind and waves, scattered like stars in the river."

"Listen, how about"

The old lady asked repeatedly, finally fighting for face, to see who would dare to say that Baoyu didn't read but she didn't notice other people's expressions. Daiyu Baochai was the first to react, both surprised and ridiculous. Lian Tanchun and Yingchun also remembered, and Xichun said suspiciously, "Why do I think this poem is my brother?"

Tan Chun hurriedly covered her mouth and whispered, "Don't talk for a while."

Looking at the front worriedly. Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Lian next to him with a smile. Only Jia Zheng was embarrassed and angry, and immediately stood up and shouted, "You"

Jia Lian himself was a bit slow in his reaction. It seems that the setter met the third passer. If I remember correctly, in this world, the copyright of this poem seems to be that he is about to jump to the master law when he sees Jia Zheng. Jia Lian is busy. He stepped forward and held him, "Uncle, this poem is really good, isn't it?"

He whispered again, "It's not worth it to annoy the old lady for a poem."

Jia Zheng is a righteous gentleman, holding Jia Lian's hand, his eyes are full of apology, "Brother Lian"

At this time, Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Lian with a full smile, "It's really good! It's really good!"

But the old lady thought that Lin Ruhai was talking about Baoyu, and she became more and more complacent. Baoyu's face was red, and he heard it from outside, and he felt that the mood was very good. In the economics question, I only got four sentences, and I don’t know if there are any more, and I don’t even know the title, let alone who the author is. That day, the old lady Mrs. Wang accidentally asked about her knowledge, and she wanted to show off, and she just pretended to be herself. I said the verses. I thought that the old lady wouldn't say it. I didn't know that there was an embarrassment today. I quietly looked around, but fortunately no one exposed it, and I was relieved. Maybe they didn't even know! He was a little excited. He hurriedly walked over to the sisters again, wanting to get their praise. Not wanting to meet her head, Daiyu spat, "I'm not ashamed, that night was done by my brother, how could it be yours?"

Baoyu heard it as if struck by lightning, "How could it not be?"

He wanted to explain that he really didn't know it was Jia Lian's poem. Baochai said disappointedly: "This poem was written by his teacher after his elder brother's rural exam, and he did it in public, where is there any fake?"

Yingchun only shook his head, "Don't be so reckless in the future."

Tan Chun was anxious and annoyed, "Brother Bao, how could you do this?"

When she saw her father like that, she must have known that Baoyu was going to suffer and be beaten again. Xichun even grimaced at him, "Baoyu is ashamed!"

I don't even call my elder brother anymore. Baoyu lost his soul and was extremely ashamed. He prided himself on being arrogant all his life, people outside looked down on him, and he laughed at Jia Lian more than once in his heart, but now he even stole his poems, which makes him still What face raised his head in front of the sisters and forced a smile to sit back next to the old lady, who was still there: praising him, but didn't dare to look up, for fear of seeing Jia Lian's mocking face. Here, Madam Wang smiled: "Treasure Come here!"

Only then did Baochai stop joking with Daiyu and the others, and asked Madam Wang to pull over, "This child Baochai is generally well-informed, and is the most well-mannered lady."

The old lady also turned her head and smiled at Aunt Xue: "It's not that I am flattering in front of my aunt. It's true, counting from the four 44-year-old girls in our family, it's not as good as Bao girl."

When Aunt Xue heard this, she hurriedly smiled and said, "The old lady said this wrong."

Madam Wang hurriedly smiled and said, "The old lady often tells me that baby girl is good to me, this is not a lie."

She sent Baochai to Aunt Xue again. She looked at Baoyu again, and the more she looked, the more satisfied she became. Aunt Xue turned to her side and asked in a low voice, "What happened to you and Baoyu just now?"

It was here that she saw the scene of their sisters arguing with Baoyu. Baochai smiled and replied in a low voice: "That poem belongs to Brother Lian."

Under the shock of Aunt Xue, she hurriedly laughed more easily.

Chapter [*] Why is it that the strange embarrassment in the main room of the old lady didn't last long, so I ordered the meal to be served. The men naturally eat outside, Jia Zheng, Lin Ruhai and Jia Lian are the main masters, and there is a circle of Jia's family The eldest son and eldest grandson, there are outsiders, Jia Zheng is not good at speaking clearly, just holding the wine, "Brother Lian, I will give it to you for that bastard boy"

"Uncle, don't do this!"

Jia Lian smiled and said, "Baoyu and I are both brothers from our own family. What are we doing for the New Year? It's time to have a relaxing drink, no matter what else!"

Lin Ruhai also agreed: "It's okay for Baoyu's children to make mistakes occasionally, but it can't be like this in the future. Fortunately, Brother Lian is generous, otherwise, they will not look good to each other, and Baoyu's reputation will be ruined. Brother Zheng, don't be careless. what!"

Jia Zheng drank the wine, full of melancholy, "The old lady is too much, I can't do anything about it. I just ask Brother Lian to take care of me in the future."

' Jia Lian smiled and said, "What did my uncle say, my nephew would be ashamed to death!"

Lin Ruhai reassured him: "Brother Zheng, don't be sad, you don't know if you will grow in the future. Look at Brother Lian, he was not a playboy before, once he realizes it, it is not a situation, so there is no need to force it."

Jia Zheng just smiled, "If that kid is half as good as Brother Lian, I can close my eyes."

A few people flipped over the page lightly, talking about romance, ancient melody, and singing in Changhuai, with a bit of a celebrity demeanor. After the smell of alcohol, she went back to the old lady's room to keep the year old. The laughter and laughter of their wives, Sister Feng coaxed the old lady and joked, "It's all the fault of the old lady who can handle people, you look at Sister Yuanyang, and then look at the attack. It's not like a scallion. Last time, I wanted to ask the old lady to treat me too, but she refused. It can be seen that I have no such life."

Aunt Xue said with a smile: "Feng girl, don't flick your tongue. I didn't know, I thought you were asking the old lady for a girl for Brother Lian!"

Mrs. Xing also joked at this moment: "That attack was not something that Brother Lian had taken a fancy to."

Sister Feng was annoyed, the eldest lady didn't open the pot and lift it, and it wasn't her who was causing trouble. She quickly explained: "At that time, Second Master Lian only asked her to pass me a sentence, a very simple thing, Just because Xiren looks good and is the person in front of the old lady, there are jokes. How can it be serious!"

Mrs. Wang chuckled, "No wonder the people below are talking nonsense, are there still few girls in Brother Lian?"

The old lady was still holding Baoyu, "Brother Lian wants to be a mandarin duck or to attack others, then let him tell himself, I see what kind of face he has."

Sister Feng laughed and joked about the attack, "I know that the attack was left to Baoyu by the old lady, but Master Lian didn't dare to ask for it. Even if he wanted it, I wouldn't dare to accept it!"

Leaving it to him is not the same as leaving it to him as an ambassador. Sister Feng gave a favor, but her face flushed with embarrassment. "Second grandma, what are you talking about?"

Now Baoyu's market is looking down, and I don't know whether to be happy or disappointed. When Jia Zheng and others came in again, they started to gossip. Soon, You's Jia Rong and Hu's also came to salute the old lady. The old lady is free Now, seeing that Mrs. Hu is well-behaved, he praised her: "This child is the first proud person among so many great-grandchildren-in-laws of mine. I'm sorry to see that you are not in good health, so sit down with your mother-in-law."

Mrs. Hu blushed and only lowered her head. Sister Feng stepped forward and mocked Mrs. You, "Oh, you are willing to throw Yingge'er away at this time, and come here refreshingly."

You said with a smile: "Look at what you said, is it possible that I came to kowtow to the old lady, what is in your way, say it as soon as possible, and I will complain to the old lady!"

Sister Feng hugged her, "Sis, since you are here, you are not allowed to leave so quickly. It is important to be with the old lady, you cannot slip."

You Shi smiled and said: "I'll let them go home and pack up their bedding, and from now on, they'll live here until you get bored."

Sister Feng said: "That's good, quickly check out a firewood house!"

It made everyone laugh. The old lady pointed at her, "You stalker, it's good that Brother Zhen's daughter-in-law doesn't care, and she will be careful to lock you in the woodshed later."

Jia Rong sat next to Jia Lian, smiled and turned sideways, "Uncle, everything is done, my grandmother and mother have agreed. Just wait until my uncle is free, or pick it up or my nephew will take care of it and bring it in."

Jia Lian glanced at You Shi and smiled: "Your mother can't figure it out either. Tell them to just stay at ease. I don't have any intentions, and you don't need to be like this."

Jia Rong hurriedly smiled and said, "Uncle, what kind of status do you have right now, I'm afraid you don't agree. My mother didn't say a word, she said it was the best."

Jia Lian said displeasedly, "Don't bring trouble to me. Put away your little thoughts! Our two families are both prosperous and damaged, and I thought I would leave you alone."

"Where dare"

Jia Rong smiled and said, "If you have this heart, your nephew will peel off his own skin first."

Jia Lian was talking to Jia Rong, but You pointed out unexpectedly, "Second Master Lian has arranged a future for Brother Rong, first go to the side to practice for a year, and then transfer back to the Beijing camp, relying on the shadow of the ancestors, It is easier to get promoted in the future. It is not difficult to get an official position to command a lieutenant general or even a general soldier. In this case, even if it is difficult to mention the title, it can keep the Ningguo government from falling. If I can help Brother Rong, let him earn some credit, and be promoted to the level of general, I will kowtow to thank him!"

You Shi pinched her nose and recognized that she gave Jia Lian the two younger sisters, not only for Brother Rong, but also for herself. Who knew that this person would not eat the fat in his mouth. He was really a good person. The old lady nodded. "It's good to be able to do this, Brother Lian is still clear about this important matter."

Sister Feng hurriedly smiled and said, "The old lady praised Second Master Lian, but she didn't come over to thank him."

Then she pulled Jia Lian in the middle. Aunt Xue said, "Don't kowtow first, I also want to thank your second master. Baochai presses: "My brother who failed to make a good deal of trouble, gave up money for small matters, this time I will pay you back." I have thrown myself into prison. If it wasn't for a letter from Brother Lian, I'm afraid that Brother Pan would still be there: I even recovered most of the money that was lost through extortion, so I should praise the old lady again. Let Baochai kowtow to Brother Lian on behalf of her brother!"

Baochai really stood up, and Sister Feng hurriedly asked her to sit down: "Auntie, it's not me who said that brother Pan's temper will bother my second master in the future! If Baochai kowtows every time, it's better to simply kowtow. Let Baochai live in my house, I'm afraid my aunt will not bear it."

Aunt Xue smiled and said, "I'm not at your house yet, but I'm willing to let her come back."

Madam Wang said, "Baochai is the most filial, and naturally she must be in front of your aunt. By the way."

She suddenly remembered something, but said to Sister Feng: "Years ago, I always remembered to make gold necklaces for your sisters, but they all went to your place, so I forgot. A golden lock, it's better to follow her style."

Sister Feng looked at Baochai and smiled: "You have such a treasure and you don't usually see you take it out and wear it."

Baochai's face was shy, "Heavy, I don't remember it even if my aunt doesn't say it."

Jia Lian didn't kowtow after all, and swept his eyes to Daiyu and the others. Daiyu beckoned quietly, Jia Lian raised his foot and walked to their side, "Sisters, when the New Year is over, when do you want to go back, let the girl tell me. , let's go home together."

Xichun hurriedly hugged him: "Brother, can't you go back tomorrow? There is only Sister Xiuyan at home, isn't she afraid?"

Jia Lian smiled and said, "How can it be so fast?"

After speaking, the housekeeper outside the door shouted loudly: "There is a father-in-law in the palace!"

The frightened old lady was shocked and asked what was going on. Jia Lian and Lin Ruhai and Jia Zheng rushed out to greet him. They walked to the Rongxi Hall and saw Xia Bingzhong, the eunuch of the Six Palaces, walking up to the hall with a smile on his face, standing to the south. Without discussing, he directly declared his will, and rewarded Jia Lian with the New Year's gift, both silver and gold.

Eunuch Na Xia said, "Our family doesn't know."

Before he had time to eat tea, he rode his horse away with the little eunuchs. .And win over just means to be jealous, beware, and about to start. The New Year has not passed, and there is a gust of cool wind outside, so I need to add an extra piece of clothing.

Chapter [*] He was a gift from the emperor with a sharp knife, which added a lot of joy and peace to the Rong Mansion. The lanterns inside and outside were hung high, and the people on the upper and lower sides were all dressed in flowers. The sound of people and the bursts of firecrackers did not need to be discussed in detail. On the second day, he went to the palace to greet him again. In the next few days, there was an endless stream of relatives and friends. Jia Lian did not often go out to greet him, and only occasionally received dignitaries and family friends. She is a talented and beautiful younger sister, so she wouldn't take the time to meet. The two talked very much and hit it off. When Fu Shi was gone, Jia Lian just sighed, "This is also a person with ideas. It's a pity!"

"Second Master, what's the pity?"

Sister Feng followed Jia Lian and said with a smile. Jia Lian held Sister Feng in his arms, "What else can I say that the person in the front hall is not bad, but unfortunately he didn't come from a serious imperial examination background, so it's already been counted as a supervisor."

Sister Feng said as she walked, "I have already allocated the money you ordered to prepare. It's not that I'm talking too much, we've made a lot of money now, and we don't need to take risks."

Jia Lian choked up a sentence and swallowed it. Now is not the time to talk about it. He smiled and said, "Just preparing, if there is an opportunity, naturally I can't miss it. If the risk is too great, I won't. We have lost our money. You can rest assured!"

Sister Feng smiled and said: "I don't worry, I don't dare to listen to your words from Lord Jia Hou. I just hope that you can take care of the family. Weier is still young, and our days are still long!"

Jia Lian took two steps, "Yeah, our days are still long, and I mustn't let others disrupt it."

No one can do it! It's time for the Ji brothers to repay their kindness. During the Chinese New Year, there are one or two less servants in Jia's house, and no one cares at all. "Second Master, what are you thinking?"

Sister Feng stood on tiptoe and put her soft hand on Jia Lian's forehead, "It's not burning."

Jia Lian grabbed her hand, "I'm thinking, when are we going to have a son?"

Sister Feng blushed and whispered something in Jia Lian's ear. Jia Lian nodded, "If I don't go out at night, I will wait for the second grandmother."

Sister Feng gave him an angry look, but only chuckled, "You just wait!"

She turned around and was about to leave. Jia Lian grabbed her. Sister Feng hurriedly said: "I have to arrange a meeting for a while, and a few of the old wives are not accompanied by the old lady. I am miserable."

Jia Lian smiled and said, "If you don't want to go, don't go, so you say you're sick. I've also pushed other things away and will accompany you wholeheartedly."

There was tenderness in Sister Feng's eyes, and she spat: "We don't do anything, let them all drink the northwest wind and go to the second master, you are busy with you, and we will talk about it at night!"

So Jia Lian came out from the old lady's backyard, and in the hall, Yindie saw Jia Lian and followed, "Second Master, our grandma has been waiting for you for a long time."

Jia Lian looked back and forth, "Now is not the time, I still have something to do."

But he didn't want You Shi to come out of the next room, and a cold resentment came to his face. Jia Lian frowned, "Do you want to argue with me here?"

You Shi mustered up the courage to be happy, but when she walked up to him, she didn't know what to say. "I'm too lazy to argue with you! I just want to ask you, is it your intention or Brother Rong about my two sisters? What do you mean, what do you think, since you gave the house and don't want it, how can I tell my mother?"

Jia Lian smiled and said, "I haven't had the time to think about it. It was your wishful thinking and I placed them so that they wouldn't be displaced, that's all."

You Shi bit her mouth, "I'm very grateful that you didn't trample them, but why did I tell my mother that if I don't want it, it's alright, and I'm still setting up a house, where did you put me?"

Jia Lian nodded and said: "Then you will buy it, and you can just give me the money when you go back."

"Pooh!"
