Jia Zhen, Uncle of the Red House

　　Jia Zhen put the letter in her arms and laughed: "Then Xiangling will come with me, and you will all stay at home." With that, she took Xiangling and went west.

　　Qingwen, the third sister, and the second sister looked at each other, and the second sister's disappointment was beyond words.Qingwen couldn't help but persuade: "Second sister, don't worry, we will persuade the master."

　　The second sister concealed her sadness and said with a smile: "It's nothing, no one is coming, let's play cards!"

　　On the other side, Jia Zhen and Xiangling came to Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

　　The hall has already gathered together, Li Wan Sanchun, Bao Daiyun, and a Baoyu.Jia Zhen skipped Baoyu and only met them.

　　Tan Chun smiled and said: "Since our great poet is here, we can start! Why don't we ask Brother Jane to make us a proof as usual?"

　　All the girls shouted hello.

　　Jia Zhen stopped in a hurry. The poems, lyrics, and tunes in his stomach were also limited. He used one less song, and the days in the future were still long, so how could he squander it casually?So he pushed Xiangling up, "I've always been lacking in talent, and it's really hard to take on an important task. Why don't you let Xiangling replace me? As for me, I'll sit with you, help you spread paper and ink, and transcribe it into a book."

　　Before he finished speaking, Xichun shouted: "This is the work of the second sister and me. If you do it, brother, then don't we have to write poetry? It won't work, it won't work!"

　　Jia Zhen couldn't get away, so they had to take the job of being a judge before they let him go.

　　Today is limited to nine good rhymes, not genres.All the women conceived their own ideas, either admiring the bamboo, or playing with the birds, looking up at the flowing clouds, and looking down at the swimming fish.

　　Jia Zhen was bored sitting idle, borrowed bluestone powder, and splashed ink on her own, attracting Baodai Xichun and others to gather around.

　　Xichun said: "Brother, who did you learn this lady's picture from? Can you teach me?"

　　How well Jia Zhen paints is hard to judge, but Uncle Zhen has many fans, but he has a high literary talent, such as Dai Yu, who unconsciously read "Luo Shen Fu", "Yi Wei Xi of Yang Qingkuo , Xiu Xiu Xiu to extend. The body flies quickly, flutters like a god, Lingbo microsteps, Luo socks are dusty."

　　Baoyu looked annoyed from the sidelines, saying that he was good at composing poetry, but he was only judging!Another moth, what kind of painting do you draw?Really... shameless.

　　He wanted to make a great poem, and the Bo sisters laughed, but it was ruined again.

　　Of course, Jia Zhen didn't take his thoughts into consideration, and felt buoyant under the praise of several Hongyans.

　　"This is Lingbo Weibu! Do you know that this is an extremely high skill? If you master it, no one can hurt you in the future."

　　"Bragging!" Xichun spat, "Brother lied again!"

　　Jia Zhen started writing and educated Xichun: "When did my brother lie to you? Do you know there is a story called Tianlong Babu? Speaking of..."

　　Well, Jia Zhen successfully turned a good poem meeting into a story meeting.

　　This talk is an hour.

　　Baoyu didn't want to listen to it at first, but gradually became fascinated, thinking of the "South China Classic" he read yesterday, and thinking of Luoshen, who was really born and separated from the world, and the meaning of freedom, the more he thought about it, the farther he went.

　　Seeing the digression, Tanchun, the person who convened the poetry club, stood up and smiled and said, "Brother Zhen deliberately made trouble, but I will punish you!"

　　Jia Zhen had a good attitude and drank tea from the tea cup in front of Daiyu's seat.

　　Daiyu blushed instantly, and spat: "The cup is for you. Tanya, you must punish him!"

　　Tan Chun thought for a while and said, "Brother Puzhen wrote the "Tianlong Babu" just now into a volume, bound it into a book, and showed it to us, okay?"

　　Everyone laughed and said yes!

　　Wait a minute, it's time to write a poem.

　　Only then did Jia Zhen sit down quietly, watching them ponder and write, their postures were different and beautiful.

　　At this moment, Xiang Yun came over quietly, and after struggling for a while, he pulled Jia Zhen's sleeve and motioned him to go outside.Jia Zhen looked at her in surprise, and followed out without knowing what was inside.

　　Xiang Yun asked in a low voice, "Brother Zhen, is there something wrong with the court now?"

　　Jia Zhen smiled and said, "Why do you think of asking this? The court is doing very well right now!"

　　Xiangyun said angrily: "My uncle and aunt are hiding it from me, but I can see that there may be something wrong with the uncle's appointment. The goddess is still begging God to worship Buddha these days! She never believed this before."

　　Just because Jia Zhen talked a lot that day, and sincerely gave their brothers an idea, but she kindly took it as a donkey's liver and lungs.So I don't pay attention to them anymore.Now listening to Xiangyun say this, it seems that there are waves again?He asked curiously, "What's going on?"

　　Xiangyun shook his head, "I don't know! I only heard what the girls said about the deficit and interception? I can't understand it. Brother Zhen, I just asked if there was any intention to track down the deficit and ask the family to pay it back."

　　Jia Zhen looked at Xiang Yun and laughed dumbly.This girl must be tired of working at home. For fear that she has to make up for the shortfall, the family will save money again and again.

　　Jia Zhen looked at Xiang Yun with some pity, there were bloodshot eyes in her eyes, "Show me your hand."

　　Xiang Yun was stunned and said, "What are you doing?" Unpreparedly, he showed him his hand.

　　Jia Zhen grabbed her soft little hand, and there were still tiny stitches on her fingertips, more than one place. "Your aunt is holding you to work?"

　　Xiangyun quickly retracted his hand and said with a smile, "Who is holding it? I like to do it, but sometimes it's too late. Brother Zhen, you just tell me if there is such a thing!"

　　Jia Zhen couldn't explain to her what was going on in the imperial court, nor could she tell her that brothers Shi Nai and Shi Ding were really looking ahead, riding on the wall from left to right, both sides were not thankful, and they were afraid that no one could help if something happened.He smiled and told Xiang Yun: "Don't worry, the court has no such will. If there is... it's fine!"

　　Xiangyun seems to believe in Jia Zhen, or she is willing to believe in Jia Zhen.Her nature is open-minded and magnanimous, she put it aside and said with a smile, "Brother Zhen, you are so good to Sister Lin and Xichun, I am jealous of them, so I thought, I also have a brother like this to love me. Woolen cloth!"

　　Jia Zhen immediately smiled and said, "According to seniority, you are my sister. I love you the same!"

　　Xiangyun clapped his hands and cheered: "That's great! Then you go and tell my aunt, just stay with me for a few more days."

　　Jia Zhen loves her dearly. She is a good daughter of a family, and she is treated like a girl. She is forced to not want to go home, and she really looks pitiful.

　　So, he immediately responded, "You just stay here, whether it's in this mansion or my mansion, and you can stroll around casually. As long as you don't ask to go home, I'll ask you for a long vacation, and your uncle and aunt will never ask you to go back. From now on, you can just take this place as your home!"

　　Xiangyun jumped in cheeringly, pulled Daiyu and said with a smile, "Sister Lin, your brother promised to keep me here for as long as I want!"

　　Daiyu said angrily, "You speak so loudly, who can't hear you?"

　　However, Baochai stepped forward and took her hand, only to find a cocoon and hurriedly cover it up for her, "Now, Sister Tanchun is very proud. She always sighs that the Poetry Society can't start. You and her have the same idea, only I'm afraid we will be caught by you two every day to read poetry."

　　Daiyu pointed at Xiangling and said, "Let's just start a club by yourself, Tanyatou, Yunyatou and Xiangling. You are a poetic history, a poetic madman, and a poetic idiot, and I will even give you a name. how?"

　　"Okay, Fu'er made fun of us again. Yun'er, sister Xiangling, let's catch her!"

　　Tanchun, Xiangyun, and Xiangling rushed up and scratched her itch.Daiyu was ticklish, screamed and panicked, hid behind Baochai and did not come out, causing everyone to laugh.

　　Everyone was joking, but Baoyu was not seen alone in the corner. She was demented and wrote the words "Xiaoyaoyou" on the paper.

　　And Jia Zhen took the opportunity to sneak up to Li Wan and grab her hand, but Li Wan grabbed her three or four times, and his entire arm was useless.

Chapter [-] Pry the corner of my profession

　　Jia Zhen stole half a day, and played with them until the afternoon.As soon as he got home, he called Ni Er over and asked him to find out what happened to the Shi family.After dealing with some chores with Keren Keqing, the family had dinner and chatted for a while, and then they all rested early.

　　The next day was Baochai's birthday.In the inner courtyard of the old lady, there is a small home theater stage, and a new group of small dramas is scheduled. Kun Yi has both.Just when the old lady went to the room, a few family banquets were lined up, and there was not a single foreign guest, only Aunt Xue, Shi Xiangyun, and Baochai were guests, and the rest were all their own.

　　When it's time to play, the old lady must call Baochai first.Baochai pushed back once, but had to order "Journey to the West" at a discount.The old lady was always happy, so she was naturally happy, and then ordered Sister Feng to order.Sister Feng was more fond of joking, so she ordered "Liu Er Dang Yi".The old lady only praised her for knowing how to watch the play, and ordered Daiyu to point it out.Dai Yuyin asked Aunt Xue, Mrs. Wang, to wait.The old lady said: "I brought you here to make fun of you today. Let's just take care of us and ignore them. I'll sing and play and drink wine, can't I do it for them? It's time!" After saying that, everyone laughed.Dai Yufang nodded.Then Baoyu, Xiangyun, Ying, Tan, Xi, Li Wan and others all ordered and took over the role.When it was time for the banquet, the old lady ordered Baochai to order again.Baochai ordered "Lu Zhishen Gets Drunk on Mount Wutai".

　　Xiangyun couldn't bear to see these babbles, and couldn't sit still, pulling Daiyu to speak.

　　Baoyu smiled and said: "The stage is already so lively, but you are better, more lively than a play."

　　Xiang Yun pushed Baoyu lightly, "Second brother, what do you know? They play theirs, you see yours, we talk about ours. It's irrelevant, and there's no delay at all."

　　Baoyu pointed at her, "As long as you are smart, the old lady doesn't care."

　　Xiang Yun just glanced at the old lady, stuck out her sweet tongue, and held Daiyu in her arms: "Sister Lin, shall we ask Xichun and the others to go out to play?"

　　Baoyu eagerly agreed: "I've always been afraid of the excitement, why don't we go together?"

　　Xiang Yun said in disgust, "It's important that you stay with the old lady, otherwise you'll be called Baoyu, and we won't be able to play well!"

　　Baoyu smiled and said, "It's okay, the old lady is so fascinated by it that she doesn't care about us."

　　Just as she was talking, the old lady grabbed Baoyu, "Sit well, be careful, I will ask your father to send you to study. Girl Yun is not allowed to leave."

　　Xiangyun agreed obediently, and when the old lady turned her head, she glared at Baoyu fiercely, and whispered, "Who told you to talk too much?"

　　Baoyu had no choice but to apologize.Xiangyun just ignored it.

　　Seeing that Baoyu Xiangyun was having a good chat, the old lady smiled and said to Madam Wang, "Yun'er hasn't been here for a long time. This time, Baoyu will play with her. It can be seen that from childhood to adulthood, it is different from others."

　　Mrs. Wang nodded and said: "Yun'er has a bright temperament and is more noisy than boys. The old lady did not know, last night, she was wearing her second brother's clothes, and she was wearing a normal hair and crown. I just asked Baoyu to be careful and bewildered. When I got closer, I realized that I had made a mistake! I didn't say anything about the appearance, but there were only two more pendants."

　　The old lady smiled and said, "Yun'er likes to be naughty."

　　She called Xiangyun to her and took her hand, "This girl is also suffering. I've been old in the past two years and I don't care much. Her two uncles only care about the trouble. I'm used to the light life, girl Yun is good everywhere, but she's too frugal, no matter who you marry in the future, you'll be able to live."

　　Aunt Xue looked at Xiang Yun and smiled: "What the old lady said is very true, Yun'er is a good boy, and he is much stronger than our Baochai." The old lady's meaning should not be made too clear, Aunt Xue naturally Hearing the song and knowing the elegance, he immediately expressed his attitude.

　　Mrs. Wang pondered for a while, "This girl Yuner is a serious prince and daughter, how can these girls in our family compare to her? In my opinion, Baochai is also very good, not to mention her talent, and she is not luxurious. Of course, as far as their Xue family's family background is concerned, I'm afraid they are also simple and limited."

　　With a smile on her face, the old lady chatted with Aunt Xue again.

　　Xiang Yun sat with Bao Chai, whispering in private, completely ignoring the old lady's discussion.

　　Mrs. Wang's eyes wandered between Baochai and Xiangyun, and finally stayed on Baochai.She leaned over and smiled at Aunt Xue: "Look at Baochai's graceful manner, what a good boy."

　　Aunt Xue just laughed, and she didn't take it seriously anymore. Now that their Xue family's family affairs have improved, they don't need to marry Jiji and Rongguo Mansion.Let's see how the sister and the old lady are?

　　So everyone was watching the play, and when they left in the evening, the old lady ordered someone to bring in the young Dan and a clown.When asked about the age, Xiao Dan was only eleven years old and the clown was only nine years old. Everyone sighed.The old lady asked her to take some other fruit and fruit with her, and gave them two more strings of money.Sister Feng said with a smile, "Look, this child looks like a person?" Baochai looked at Daiyu, but refused to say anything with a smile.Baoyu did not dare to speak.Only Shi Xiangyun clapped his hands and smiled and said, "Sister Lin, I'm afraid it's not your lost sister, right?"

　　When Baoyu heard this, he hurriedly glanced at Xiangyun and winked.

　　Xiangyun said angrily: "Whoever hears you sting is not happy at all. Sister Lin is not like you! If I have something to say, I will say it straight, this girl is a bit like her, don't believe me, take a look? "

　　After hearing this, everyone looked at it carefully and laughed, saying that it was really good.

　　Daiyu was stunned for a moment, and beckoned that Xiaodan to come over. She had a frowning brow, squinty eyes, a thin face, a slender waist, and a graceful curl.So she asked, "What's your name?"

　　Xiaodan replied, "Ling officer."

　　Daiyu sighed: "It's not a blessing to have pity on me. I've been lonely since I was a child! If only there was such a sister, it would be great."

　　Xiang Yun smiled and said, "Sister Lin, just treat her as a younger sister."

　　Daiyu looked at Lingguan, but she really wanted to recognize her as her younger sister, but she saw her eyes were clear and she put herself up with others.She laughed at herself, and over the years, her mood has also broadened, and she no longer hurts spring and autumn.If she hadn't met her brother, I'm afraid that she would be as sensitive and aloof as an official of this age now, and she couldn't listen to the gossip of others.So she didn't say anything, just took out the purse she made and gave it to her. "In the future, you will often come to play with me, and I will also find you when you are free."

　　Lingguan glanced at Daiyu gratefully. She did not regard herself as an actress, but regarded herself as a friend and sister, and sincerely thanked her.

　　At this time, You Shi clicked and came in, met Li first, and then said to the old lady: "Today is Miss Xue's birthday, knowing that the old lady is going to treat us, we dare not rush, we will use Miss Xue tomorrow. On your birthday, please old ladies, wives, aunts, sisters, come and play with us for a day anyway.”

　　There was no like or dislike on the old lady's face, she only said, "Go wherever you want. Brother Zhen's daughter-in-law's face must be given to her."

　　You said with a smile: "Old lady, you're joking, I don't have any face, but I'm just pretending to be the old lady's tiger skin. You must go tomorrow. We have prepared two on the stage, just waiting for you to go. It's decided!"

　　The old lady: "I know you are kind. I've had enough trouble today, I'm afraid I won't be able to get up early tomorrow and need a day off. You ask them sisters to go!"

　　You Shi did not persuade him any more, and invited the sisters again.Baochai and others cheered, and naturally promised.

　　The next day, You Shi sent someone to pick him up early.

　　Baochai and Aunt Xue came out of the yard, which is Rongning's private lane, and the carriage went forward for a short distance from the private lane. There was also a side door in Huifang Garden, so they went straight in.

　　When they arrived in the garden, Jin Chuan'er was already waiting at the corner gate, leading them to Tianxiang Tower.Jia Zhen stepped forward to support Aunt Xue, "Auntie, you're near, they haven't arrived yet!" Then she smiled at Baochai, "I had something to do yesterday, so I didn't go to congratulate you, I'll make it up for you today!"

　　Baochai smiled reservedly because her aunt was there.
