King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 204 Jia Zhen bullied me too much
"It's like old friends at first sight? Thirteenth Master's words are so right that I'm confused!" Baochai laughed dumbfounded.

"Why?"

"Could it be that the Thirteenth Master forgot, how majestic and majestic you were when you came to Xue's house for the first time in Jinling, it scared everyone in Xue's house!"

Turning her head, Baochai said with a slight smile: "This kind of encounter... can't be called hitting it off!"

"It may be more appropriate to say that it is an enemy!"

Zhu Jinghong was a little embarrassed, and after laughing twice, he said, "This... don't mention this matter again, we don't know each other!"

Baochai said calmly, "Master Thirteen says yes, then yes!"

"By the way... What are the rules of Go, and how is it played?" Zhu Jinghong began to change the subject.

"Master Thirteen really wants to learn?"

"Could it be fake?"

Ever since, Baochai could only explain one by one and answer Zhu Jinghong's "simple" question.

The two talked like this, and the team soon arrived at Xiyuan, and after entering the gate, they could see the wide lake.

It's September now, and the weather is already a bit cold. The cold wind blowing from the lake made everyone take the initiative to tighten their clothes.

The eunuch who led the way knew today's arrangement, so he led everyone to Zhaoming Hall, where they listened to a play before going on a cruise.

The Royal Palace is very large, and the scenery along the way is different. There are various palaces and gardens in a patchwork, dotted with pavilions and pavilions, which is really dazzling.

The Zhaoming Hall is on the island in the middle of the lake, and there is a corridor leading to it, and the scenery can be better appreciated by walking, so Zhu Yunsheng chose to get off the sedan chair.

The eunuchs and palace maids were leading the way, and Zhu Jinghong walked among the beauties, listening to their chirping discussions, he immediately felt that life was extraordinarily meaningful.

An honest gentleman like me can't hold it back, so it's no wonder that Jia Baoyu is deeply involved...Zhu Jinghong sighed secretly.

"Sheng'er... slow down, be careful not to fall!" Zhu Jinghong reminded loudly.

However, at this moment, Baochai, who has always been calm, can't help but wander around with her, revealing her lively nature as a girl.

In this day and age, women don't go out of their doors, so it's really rare to have such a tour experience.

Soon everyone came to Zhaoming Hall, Yu Hai had already led the people to set up the banquet, and the female musicians from the teacher's workshop were ready.

"Brother Thirteen, I like them all, you are so careful!" Zhu Yunsheng took the initiative to take the seat at the top.

At this moment, in the main hall, two tables were set up on the north side, one table was set up on the east side, and two tables were set up on the west side.

After Zhu Jinghong was seated, he said to the three of Baochai, "Don't be restrained, you three, sit down!"

Among the three, Yang Jingting had the highest status, so she sat on the east side, while Baochai and Zhen Qin sat on the west side.

"Third sister, would you like to play?" After saying this, Zhu Jinghong winked at Yu Hai.

Yu Hai held a booklet, bent his waist and presented it to Zhu Yunsheng's side, and the maid took it and handed it to her.

Holding the brochure, Zhu Yunsheng ordered a few of his favorites, and then gave the brochure to Zhu Jinghong.

To be honest, Zhu Jinghong was not very interested in listening to operas, so he directly asked the three of Baochai to order two operas.

Although Yu Hai was dull but not stupid, he handed the brochure to Baochai first.

Holding the brochure, Baochai randomly clicked on two places, and then handed the brochure to Yu Hai.

A few minutes later, opera began to play, and the atmosphere of the banquet was also mobilized.

"The autumn scenery of the lake outside can be described as beautiful on a good day. You sisters are highly knowledgeable, and you must have a good sentence in your belly. Today I only use five words..."

Zhu Yunsheng's speech was indeed a bit royal, and it also raised the banquet to a new height.

"Third Sister...she's so good, why is she writing poetry!" Zhu Jinghong looked distressed.

"Brother Thirteen, don't worry...we'll play by ourselves, and we won't embarrass you!"

"What do you mean by that? Don't I know how to write poetry?"

"Could it be that you will?" Zhu Yunsheng didn't save face for his brother at all.

Baochai and the others looked at Zhu Jinghong with suspicion at the moment.

"Brother Thirteen, I won't ask you to compose poems anymore, as long as you have learned it...you can read a sentence that fits the occasion, so what if you pass the test?"

Zhu Yunsheng's words were not very harmful, but extremely insulting.

But Zhu Jinghong said: "Then I'll make a fool of myself..."

Hearing this, everyone felt that he was really thick-skinned, and he agreed just like that.

"The scenery of lakes and mountains really reminds me of a sentence..."

Putting on a posture, Zhu Jing * said: "Luoxia and Lonely Bird fly together, Qiushui..."

"Brother Thirteen, this is not poetry..."

"Master Thirteen, it's morning, but there is no sunset!"

Two sentences were uttered at the same time, from Zhu Yunsheng and Zhen Qin respectively, choking back the second half of Zhu Jinghong's sentence.

As for Xue Baochai and Yang Jingting, they were already pursing their lips and smiling, which relatively saved Zhu Jinghong's face.

"Uh... this... is almost the same!"

After Zhu Yunsheng laughed, he said: "It's really hard for Brother Thirteen, if he can come up with this sentence in a hurry, let's count him as a passer!"

So Zhu Jinghong stopped making fun of himself, and began to eat and drink honestly, while seeing the knowledge of Baochai and the others.

"Sister Ting...you come first!" Zhu Yunsheng ordered himself.

While Yang Jingting was contemplating, the two of Baochai were also changing their minds, and the three of them were vaguely competing.

Less than a minute later, I heard Yang Jingting recite: "White geese fly by the autumn lake, congratulate you and return home..."

Zhu Jinghong was really surprised that a poem was created in this way.

I might as well... Zhu Jinghong sighed in his heart.

And Baochai, who is opposite Yang Jingting, is secretly startled by her quick wit, but fortunately she already has a draft.

After tasting Yang Jingting's poem, Zhu Yunsheng looked at Baochai and said, "Sister Bao, it's your turn!"

Baochai gently caressed the temples of the clouds, and said with a slight smile: "There are broken waves in the mirror lake, and light smoke is swept in by the mantle..."

Seeing her calm and unhurried appearance, Yang Jingting on the opposite side was also surprised. At the same time, she also felt a little bit competitive, planning to compare her next time.

"Sister Qin, it's your turn..."

"what?"

"Princess, I haven't made up my mind on the last two sentences, can you wait a little longer?"

There was a blush on Zhen Qin's face, and she wished she could find a crack in the ground to get in, because it was so embarrassing.

"In that case, let me come!"

"The wind and bamboo are chaotic and silent, and the smoke and rivers are about to be delayed. The old man..."

Zhu Yunsheng came as soon as he opened his mouth, which also made Zhu Jinghong's eyes widen, but he didn't expect his sister to be so powerful.

What happened next had almost nothing to do with Zhu Jinghong.

A few girls took full advantage of writing poems. In addition to setting the topic on the scenery of lakes and mountains, they also used the drama to be performed as the topic, with five and seven characters.

After about half an hour passed, the few people felt that the fun was enough, and then they began to listen to the opera with peace of mind.

"Brother Thirteen, shall we go on a cruise? It's boring to stay in the house for a long time!"

Zhu Jinghong was afraid that they would make him look like an idiot if they wanted to compose poems again, so he immediately replied, "Third Sister...I think so too!"

"The boat is already ready, with a stove on it, let's go barbecue!"

"Sounds like fun, let's go now!"

However, at this moment, Deng An hurried over and whispered to Zhu Jinghong.

Zhu Jinghong's face darkened instantly, and he even clenched his fists, his anger was obvious.

"Is this true?"

Listening to Zhu Jinghong's cold words, "Qin Ye went to Chengming Court in person and told the servant himself, and the servant conveyed everything truthfully, and dare not lie to the thirteenth master!"

"Jia Zhen, you bullied me too much!"

In a panic, Zhu Jinghong patted the table, shaking the cups and plates on the table flying, bringing the original joyful atmosphere to freezing point.
