dream of red mansion

Chapter 18

After Liu's birthday banquet, the middle and upper class of Beijing once again saw the members of the Liu family.

Originally, many people thought that after Liu Yong stepped down from the position of chief assistant, although the current emperor promoted his eldest son to be the right servant of the Ministry of Rites in order to reward Liu Yong, everyone thought it was a flashback. understand.

Unexpectedly, the current two generations of emperors still miss the Liu family.All civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty are envious of doing this for being a courtier.Along with the envy of the Liu family, many people are also lamenting that the two saints today are unparalleled in their benevolence, they treat heroes generously, and they all sing praises for them.

Perhaps, this is also expected by the sage.
None of this has anything to do with Jia Qing. What has to do with him is that with the passage of time, the name of his poems has also spread within a certain range in the middle and upper classes of Beijing.The song "Lotus" was also included by some famous artists who love this way.

Jia Zheng is not considered a famous scholar, but he also likes this way.

A few days ago, I heard that Brother Qing from the East Mansion wrote a good poem in the Liu Mansion, which was appreciated by Mr. Liu.It was his own child again, of course he was curious, so he ordered someone to inquire about the original text of the poem.

At this time, he was sitting in his study, holding a piece of paper in his hand, on which was the song 'Lotus' composed by Jia Qing.

"A gloomy cloud and a little glow
very lotus leaf five cents

No need to close the door to sleep by the lake

Every night is cool and fragrant

Well, it really is a good poem! "

He read it softly, and it was also about flowers, but Baoyu's writing was full of rhetoric and rich words, which made him angry.But this song gave him a fresh and indifferent feeling. Hearing that Brother Qing was younger than his Baoyu, he couldn't help being more satisfied.

Just at this time, several of his Qing customers also came to his study, and he handed them the poems in his hand for them to circulate.He drank tea himself.

After a while, one of his Qing customers named Shan Pinren first asked: "Is this signed Jia Qing a child of the old man?"

Jia Zheng nodded.

"My lord's mansion is worthy of being a family of Zhongming Dingshi, and all the disciples in the family are dragons. This poem has a lofty intention, and it has an extraordinary and refined meaning. It is really a rare and good poem."

Others also joined in.

Another gentleman named Zhan Guang also complimented: "Master, there is such a great talent now, it seems that it is not far from the day when the glory of Rongning and Duke Ning was restored. Congratulations, master, congratulations, master."

Jia Zheng was in a good mood after being flattered by these rounds, and said modestly, "Where is it?

Zhan Guang asked, "How old is this brother?"

"Seven or eight years old"

Although it was just to flatter and find evidence, Zhan Guang was still shocked by such a young age, and he didn't know how to word it.

It was the single hire who came to his senses first and asked, "Which house is your son from?"

"It's the little son of our East Mansion who respects the old man. He wrote this poem at Liu Yong's boss Liu's birthday banquet a few days ago."

"Oh, it turned out to be the son of Master Jing, no wonder there are such poetic talents! Your family is really blessed and well-educated, and there is a son of the master, Baoyu Zhuyu, who was born with jade in front of him, and has a brilliant literary talent; Young and immature, talented in poetry, it can be seen that most of the blessings in the world have been taken away by your family."

"Sir, please don't say that. How can my Jia family be able to stand up! Besides, it's true that Brother Qing is talented in poetry, and my precious jade is useless. Mr. Zheng still praises him like this, Zheng is really ashamed to say it."

Zhan Guang saw that Jia Zheng really hated Baoyu, so he changed the subject decisively: "I don't know if I will have the chance to meet this brother Qing Shi?"

"He's at the house, and I'll bring him over to see you when I have a chance." In his tone, he seemed to agree with the tone of a direct elder. In fact, we Jia Qing really don't know him well!
The conversation in Jia Zheng's study continued peacefully
Send away the golden May and cross the scorching June.

July Flowing Fire
The weather is getting cooler!
Jia Qing has spent more than a month of his "University" career under the scorching sun.

In the morning, it was not yet bright.

"Second Master, Second Master"

In the Qingju, Jia Qingzao was dreaming soundly, and beside his bed, a handsome maid was calling softly.

Qingju is the name Jia Qing gave his bedroom. He originally wanted to call it a brothel, but in order to avoid being too ostentatious, he changed it to Qingju.

In addition, he also named the courtyard where he lived in Yipintang.When Peifeng asked him why he called it 'Yipintang', how did he explain it? Once he explained it, he had to talk about Tianlong Babu and Jin Yong together. When it came to the year of the monkey, he just said perfunctorily: He will be a first-rank official in the future!
"Well, let me sleep again~"

"Second Master, it's time to wake up, the master is going to check his homework today! Oops~"

Hearing that Jia Jing was going to check his homework, Jia Qing's drowsiness subsided a little.But he didn't give in so easily, taking advantage of Xie Luan's bending to pull his hand, he made the beauty throw herself on the bed with a little ingenuity, and then wrapped the quilt, most of the beauty got into the bed.

"Second master, stop making trouble!"

"Boom"

Xie Luan's voice stopped abruptly because she was attacked by someone.

After kissing Xie Luan smoothly, Jia Qing climbed out of the bed refreshed, and said to Xie Luan who was still lying on the bed: "Sister Xiao Luan, quickly dress me, I'm going to be late!" The voice was urgent.

Xie Luan was so good-natured that he was almost irritated, so he gave Jia Qing a cheeky look, got up and picked up the clothes at the side, and put them on for Jia Qing.

Looking at Xie Luan's red cheeks, Jia Qing said desperately, "Sister Xiao Luan, why is your face so fragrant?"

Xie Luan was really a little angry, stopped the movement of his hands, and sat on the chair next to him.

"Second Master is becoming more and more disrespectful now. He dares to do anything and say anything. If this continues, I will not dare to serve Second Master anymore!"

Seeing that Xie Luan was really angry, Jia Qing knew that she had played too much, and she was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, Peifeng also came in at this time, and said with a smile, "Huh? What's wrong with this early in the morning, who dares to serve whom?"

Seeing Peifeng coming in, Xieluan stood up slowly and continued to dress Jia Qing.He said: "It's nothing, it's just that the second master had a nightmare, and the second master frightened me when he told it."

Seeing Peifeng looking over suspiciously, Jia Qing hurriedly nodded and said, "A nightmare, yes, it's a nightmare."

Peifeng was even more suspicious, but it was not the time to ask questions, so she came to help Xieluan tidy up her clothes, complaining: "You two are getting more and more mysterious, and you will keep things from me!"

After Jia Qing cleaned up and washed, he went straight to Jia Jing's study with his book bag.
