The Red Chamber: Lianyufengchai

In fact, Baoyu still had a lot to say, but she could only comfort Baochai with a few words, and went out to chat with Aunt Xue. Ying'er closed the door and joked, "Miss, what's wrong with you, do you want to come here with the second master? look"

Baochai immediately blushed and spat: "What nonsense he went to the palace and hasn't returned, where can you find him?"

Ying'er asked: "He's a good girl, tell me who he is"

Baochai said angrily: "I'm still arguing with me, I didn't describe the flowers, and I didn't feed the birds, just play with it!"

Ying'er didn't speak, she picked up the flower and began to describe it. Baochai opened the poem again and thought about it a few times, but it was not as good as before, and suddenly laughed. Ying'er met at the side and said, "Girl, I am I heard them all say that what you wrote is similar to Miss Lin's, and it is as good. Otherwise, I will show it to Second Master Lian, and let him agree to a condition for the girl."

Baochai's face was rosy and bright, and she said angrily, "Tell me what you want. Don't worry about it."

Ying'er simply stopped and said in a low voice, "Miss, I heard that Second Master Lian. There is also a lady whose appointment is empty! How else?"

"shut up!"

Baochai said angrily, "That's all we can say."

She didn't know what she was thinking, she sighed softly, as if she was full of melancholy and had nowhere to tell. The important affairs of the girl's family were never beyond her control. The voice of Aunt Xue and Baoyu could be heard faintly in front of her. Jia Lianruo looks like there is no shadow that flickers far and near. After a few days, since the eighth day of the first lunar month, a eunuch has come out to look at the direction: where to change clothes, where to sit, where to receive salute, where to hold a banquet , where to retire. There are also inspections of local prime ministers to guard eunuchs, etc., and bring many small eunuchs out, guard guards everywhere, block fences, instruct Jiazhai personnel where to retreat, where to kneel, where to eat, and where to announce , Various etiquette notes are different. Outside, there are officials from the Ministry of Industry and five city soldiers to prepare roads to clean the streets and drive away idlers. Jia Zheng and other governors led craftsmen to make lanterns and fireworks. On the [*]th, they all stopped. This night, Passing up and down and never slept.

Chapter 2 From the decree to the 8th day, Jia Lian inquired about the news in advance, Yuanchun had dinner at Weichuqi, Weizheng [*] was worshipping Buddha at Baoling Palace, and Youchuke entered Daming Palace to receive a banquet. Deng Fang asked for the order, and Xu Chu did not get up to save relatives. Therefore, there is no need to prepare in advance. It was not until the end of the time that the old lady waited for the order: with Feng Guanxia, ​​under the steps outside the gate of Rongfu, Jia Zheng and Jia Lian waiting outside the West Street gate The streets and alleys are all surrounded by curtains. At one time there are eunuchs lighting the lights everywhere, and when they are young, there are more than ten red-clothed eunuchs riding on horses first, only to hear the faint sound of music. Teams of feathers burn incense, and then one Put the crank seven phoenix golden umbrella, the eunuch on duty is holding incense beads, embroidered handkerchief, gargle, whisk, etc. Behind it are eight eunuchs carrying a golden top and golden embroidered phoenix version, walking slowly. The old lady, etc. He quickly knelt down by the roadside. Zaofei ran past a few eunuchs and helped the old lady, Mrs. Xing, and Mrs. Wang to come. The panyu was carried through the gate, entered the gate of ceremonies and headed east, to a courtyard to rest for a while, Zhaorong, Cai Concubines and others led Yuanchun Xiayu to change clothes before getting on the sedan chair and leaving for the other courtyard. Jia Lian followed him to the main hall to arrange shifts, and was told to leave without ceremony. Yuanchun's car drove out of the other courtyard and went to the old lady's main room to do a family ceremony. Jia Lian walked to the end quietly and stood with Aunt Xue Baochai Daiyu. Daiyu couldn't help asking, "Brother, why don't you go in?"

Jia Lian smiled and said, "It's enough to have old ladies. I won't join in the fun."

Aunt Xue said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to find anyone when I pass on you later."

Jia Lian walked to the shadow of the lamp, next to Daiyu, "Don't worry, Auntie, I can see clearly even here."

She went down and pulled Daiyu's veil. Daiyu stood on tiptoe, pretending to look out, her embroidered shoes on Jia Lian's feet, eating and smiling. Jia Lian had nothing to do, she stretched out her hand and gently Carrying her waist, Daiyu hurriedly pulled his hand away, but unfortunately she had little strength and tried to break free several times, but one hand was caught tightly. elder brother"

She sneered, "you'd better go over there and wait."

Jia Lian clasped her hand, "don't go, I'm fine here."

She drew a circle on the palm of her hand. Daiyu felt itchy, and threw the handkerchief in her other hand. Jia Lian was quick and quick, and immediately pulled it over. "Ah!"

Daiyu exclaimed in a low voice. Baochai was beside her and looked over quickly, "What's going on?"

Jia Lian had already put away the hand and handkerchief he was holding, "Yu'er is timid, and he was afraid of firing guns from a distance just now."

Daiyu bit her mouth tightly, her heart was pounding in panic, and she didn't dare to make a sound, for fear that Baochai would see it. Baochai held her other hand lightly, and when she found her body stiff, she joked: "If it wasn't for only my brother. Yu'er won't be afraid of the gun battle."

Daiyu glared at Jia Lian and spat: "That's not it, I saw a dark shadow fly over just now."

Angrily, he stepped on it a few more times. Baochai was looking curiously into the night, but saw the courtyard burning empty, the ground covered with incense crumbs, the lights everywhere, and the sound of soft music from time to time. How could there be a dark shadow Daiyu who took the opportunity to screw Jia Jia Lian endured the pain when Baochai looked over, so he had to let go of Daiyu's hand. Baochai smiled and asked, "What are you doing?"

Daiyu was shy and said nothing. Jia Lian immediately said, "I only have Yu Meiren's words, let Yu'er comment."

After thinking for a while, I read it out: "A curtain of flowers shadows the spring breeze night, the moon reaches the rose frame."

Daiyu replied casually: "Qi is still open half of the night, just to paint Liang Shuangyan, and she hasn't returned."

Baochai laughed and said, "Then let me say a few words too! I turn on the lanterns about dusk, and I still sit with incense.

Both of them looked at Jia Lian, "It's your turn to finish."

Jia Lian pondered for a while. Daiyu urged, "Think more about this."

Jia Lian looked at Daiyu and said with a smile: "Leave a small window to face each other, late makeup will be left behind."

Daiyu spat: "Forget it, it's not as good as me!"

Baochai was laughing beside her. Aunt Xue turned her head and asked, "What are you talking about also makes me happy."

Baochai hurriedly said, "Let's join sentences!"

After a few more gossips, Daiyu whispered, "Give me back the veil!"

Jia Lian turned his head, "You promise me one thing."

"Pooh!"

Daiyu said angrily, "No!"

At this time, words came from inside, which made the family members of the two houses salute. Jia Lian just listened carefully, knowing that it was not his turn to go in yet, and quietly grabbed Daiyu's hand. But this hand was tender and soft. No less than Daiyu, Fengze is more moisturizing. Jia Lian hurriedly turned around, but grabbed Baochai's hand. She was also shy and unbearable. It turned out that Daiyu and Baochai switched places and went to talk to Aunt Xue. Baochai's eyes were oozing with water, and she wanted to speak. Jia Lian lightly buckled her wrist, "Baochai"

Baochai didn't dare to look at him, but turned to lean on Daiyu. From time to time, he joked. Jia Lian took her handkerchief and put it away. Well, this is a repeat offender. "

Aunt Xue and Daiyu both looked over. Baochai hurriedly changed his face and smiled, "The kowtow is over there, you still don't go."

Saying that, he took two steps forward and pointed to the fire tree and the flowers not far away, which were full of colors, "Mom, it's so beautiful over there!"

He actually bypassed Daiyu and stood on the other side of Aunt Xue. So Jia Lian stood next to Daiyu again. Daiyu pouted softly, seeing Jia Lian holding the handkerchief in his hand, he pulled it while he was not paying attention. Going back, the other hand was clenched. That... Baochai Jia Lian suddenly felt his head was big, if Yu'er found out that he was playing a ghost here, Jia Lian would have to turn his face and rub his hands, and he couldn't remind her to come back, what should he do? Do "Yuer"

Daiyu just ignored him. Jia Lian had to take two steps back, trying to grab her hand and get the veil back. But Daiyu was alert, glared at him, rubbed the veil tightly, and held it in the palm of her hand. He didn't give him a chance. Jia Lian was overwhelmed at the moment. Just as he was about to break: Er, Qingwen hurried over and said, "My lady told me to see my concubine and the two girls."

When Aunt Xue heard this, she hurriedly adjusted her collar and temples before taking Baochai and Daiyu over there. "Yu'er"

Jia Lian stopped her anxiously. Daiyu smiled and said, "If you have anything to say, I'll talk about it later!"

About to go. Jia Lian pretended to look at her hairpin ring, "Your hairpin is crooked, ask Qingwen to make it right for you."

So Qingwen next to her hurriedly checked it out. Daiyu didn't care about the veil, so she let go of her hand. Jia Lian saw it, and immediately went over to take it and put it away. Jia Lian has nothing in his hands. She was about to speak, but Qingwen urged: "Miss Lin, concubine and Miss Bao have already entered, we can't let the maiden wait, let's go!"

Daiyu had no choice but to go in with Baochai at the door empty-handed.

Chapter [*] Auntie Xue and Baochai Daiyu came in for a while, Yuanchun also excused herself from the ceremony, and exchanged a few words with her aunt, but took Baochai and Daiyu to take a closer look, it was really beautiful nephrite jade General, smiled and said: "I also heard Brother Lian talk about the style of the two younger sisters in the palace, and they are not comparable to the foolish sisters."

It was time to watch. The mother and daughter recounted the scenes of parting and family affairs in depth. So Jia Zheng and Jia chain went outside the curtain to say goodbye. Yuanchun said through the curtain with tears: "The common people's home, although thatched eaves and thatched houses, rough tea and light meals, But the whole family, young and old, can gather together for the joy of family, and although the wealth and honor are extremely high, but the flesh and blood are all parties, and there is no interest in thinking about it!"

Jia Zheng also said with tears in his eyes: "My minister, among the grass and the poor family, among the doves and the crows, how could it be that you can conquer the phoenix and luan's auspiciousness. Niangniang must not think about the old age of the political couple, be angry with Jinhuai, and pray to cherish them more. .Only work diligently, diligently and respectfully to serve your superiors, and you will live up to the great grace of the saints who are caring and caring."

Yuanchun instructed: "May my father focus on state affairs, take care of it in his spare time, and never remember it."

Jia Zheng said: "The minister follows the order."

Jia Lian also bowed to him without saying a word. He only heard Yuan Chun choked and said, "Brother Lian is in the palace, and Shang Ke is chatting and laughing. Now I have finally returned home, but have I become estranged?"

Jia Lian cupped his hands and smiled and said, "Qi, Niangniang, when I see Niangniang today, my heart is naturally full of joy and joy. But when I see Niangniang's sadness and tears, I don't dare not bow my head and endure it."

Yuan Chun sighed: "It's time to talk and laugh. It's just that I'll go there for a while, and I don't know how sooner or later I'll come!"

Jia Lian persuaded: "The maiden doesn't have to be too sad, and think of the best in everything. For example, the emperor has promoted his younger brother, for example, my family Keqing is pregnant, for example, it will be Sister Xue's birthday in a few days, for example, Lin My sister has grown up again, and it's all a happy event when I think about it."

Yuan Chun couldn't help laughing and said, "As expected, it's a happy event."

He rewarded Keqing's colorful satin, gold and silver, and gave Ruyi and beads to Baodai and Baodai. When Jia Lian saw the reward, he smiled and said, "The maiden shouldn't favor one over the other,,,, second sister, third sister, fourth sister. , should also be rewarded. There is also a sister Xing you have not seen."

Yuanchun saw Sanchun, "My sister, there should be an example at that time."

Xiuyan was ordered to come in to pay homage. Xiuyan lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, her head was curled up, her clothes were fluttering, she walked to Jia Lian's side and bowed down. Yuanchun asked her to come forward, and the old lady had already explained her origins. Yuanchun asked what year he liked, and it was enough to give a few compliments. Xiuyan silently retreated to the side of the lamp shadow, not wanting to attract attention at all. Daiyu walked over to hold her, pulled her out, and Baochai Standing together. Baochai smiled, and then also took Xiuyan. Jia Lianli got up and should have left. Yuanchun stopped him and said with a smile: "The emperor has spoken."

Jia Lian had no choice but to come back immediately, and kneel in a proper manner, "I listen to the decree."

Not only Jia Lian, but everyone in the room knelt down on the ground. Yuan Chun just stood up behind the curtain, "I am so busy, I haven't paid attention to you for a few days. It seems that you are so lazy, let me free up my hands, With your good-looking, Qiezi"

Jia Lian kowtowed: "I will give thanks!"

"Free gift!"

Yuan Chun said. Everyone got up. Jia Lian had to defend: "Please, please report to the emperor. Since the minister was appointed, he has been working hard and dare not slack at all. When did he become tired?"

The corners of Yuanchun's mouth twitched slightly: "If you tell the emperor that you are lazy and lazy, that's still good. You are only weak when you are young, the emperor does not consider you frivolous, and uses you many times, so that you have the status you are today. Loyal, diligent and cautious, and repaying the emperor's kindness, you must know that if the emperor hadn't cherished your talents, the court's impeachment against you would probably be much higher than yours!"

Jia Lian smiled and said, "Your Majesty does not follow the old fashioned way, but only does what he does. He is truly a wise and wise ruler. The ministers and others respectfully meet the prosperous world, respect the grace of God, and dare to be blunt and repay in case."

Yuan Chun interrupted: "Are you complimenting yourself? Be humble and give in. If you are not arrogant or impetuous, you can last for a long time."

Jia Lian cupped his hands and said, "The lady taught me very much. Our family is already extremely rich. As the saying goes, the rafters in the early years will be rotten first, and then you should be humbler. In everything, let others rush ahead, and then it is in line with the middle way."

Yuanchun laughed and scolded: "It's because you are still a jinshi, so you can say that you are as blunt as you can, and in a blink of an eye, you are moderate. It can be seen that the emperor said that you are lazy, but it is appropriate."

She also warned: "The honor and disgrace of the Jia family are all tied to you now, you should be careful not to live up to the grace of God."

Seeing the seriousness she said, Jia Lian also carefully considered: "Please rest assured, my mother, the ministers and younger brothers have their own opinions, and there is no need for my mother to worry about it. It is at home, and I don't talk about state affairs."

Yuan Chun was silent. The old lady thought that Yuan Chun was displeased by Jia Lian, and said with a smile, "How can Brother Lian talk to the goddess like this?"

She said to Yuan Chun: "Don't think that he will be stable when he becomes a prince, and he is not grown up. He often speaks indiscriminately, even I am used to it. Empress is more concerned, don't be an outsider."

Yuan Chun smiled and said, "Don't worry, Grandma, Brother Lian has made a lot of money now, and it's too late for me to be happy."

Mrs. Wang hurriedly said to Jia Lian: "I don't want to thank the goddess for her kindness."

However, Jia Lian said: "Niang Niang inherits the emperor's long grace, you should be anxious about the emperor's urgency and worry about the emperor's worries. The palace is secret, and the minister dare not hear it, but like the last time, you can't listen to it and can't do it. Just don’t listen. As for the rest, you can trust the ministers and younger brothers, and don’t make your own decisions or think carefully, and disasters will happen in an instant. Empress should listen to what my uncle just said, be single-minded, and don’t care about other things.”

It's really getting more and more excessive! Even at such a time, she has taught her mother a lesson! The old lady immediately reprimanded: "Brother Lian, what nonsense are you talking about, it's getting more and more arrogant, the mother is no better than you. clear!"

Mrs. Wang echoed: "Brother Lian, you don't need to wait here, you can just go outside and ask if the word 'save relative's villa' on the stone archway has been changed."

Jia Lian smiled and said: "Niangniang, the words of the minister and brother are all from the bottom of the heart. You are in the deep palace, and what you know and what you can know is limited. The emperor's holy light can see thousands of miles, and even in the dark, you can't hide it. If you dare to have selfish thoughts, I hope the empress can do the same. Then our family's holy grace can be expected for a long time."

The old lady's expression changed, but Mrs. Wang's face was full of anger. Unexpectedly, Yuan Chun nodded and said, "Brother Lian said that our sisters and brothers should be like this."

Madam Wang called out worriedly: "Niangniang"

Yuan Chun said with a smile: "It's okay, Brother Lian is an important official of the country after all, with good knowledge and ability, and the emperor is very reliant on it. This is his luck, and it is also my family's luck. You and my brother and brother encourage each other!"

Jia Lian slightly bowed his hands, "Thank you for your grace!"

Yuan Chun was annoyed when he heard the words, he didn't even want to be dignified and prudent, and ordered someone to lift the curtain, "I don't blame you, why didn't you find out before, you are so eloquent when you come to the palace next time, I will teach you a lesson alone! The wife and the wife can't save you! You dare to look for me, right? Li'er said it very slippery!"

Jia Lian was stunned, so he had to persuade: "Niangniang, your demeanor!"

Yuan Chun took a few deep breaths before he let the curtain down and returned to his awe-inspiring appearance just now. For some reason, after Jia Lian's interruption, the house became a lot warmer and more relaxed, and even sister Feng Li Wan and her sisters all laughed. .Yuan Chun Yin asked: "Why didn't Bao Yu come to see him?"

Only then did the old lady say: "Without the decree, foreign men would not dare to trespass."

Yuanchun ordered to bring them in quickly. The little eunuch went out and brought Baoyu in. After the state ceremony was completed, Yuanchun said, "Brother, come here!"

He ordered him to go forward, embraced him hand in hand, rubbed his neck and smiled, "Baoyu, sit down quickly: I have grown up better than before."

Without a word, tears fell like rain.

Chapter [*]: The poetic talent is outstanding when it comes to saving relatives. Speaking of Sister Feng, Mrs. You and others came up and said, "The feast is ready, please niangniang to have a good time."

Yuan Chun just got up and ordered Bao Yu to lead the way, so he walked with the others to the gate of the other courtyard, all the way to the gate of the other courtyard, all the way to the lights and fire trees, full of splendor. Yuan Chun saw it and sighed: "You can't be too extravagant in the future, and it's useless."

I just went to the main hall, and I returned to my seat with no ceremonies. The old lady was waiting to accompany you. You, Li Wan, Sister Feng and others held a cup and a cup. But no one moved. Yuanchun gave his heart a little, and took two casually in, and ordered to pass the brush and inkstone to serve, personally hold the Xiangguan, and give the main hall the name "Guensiyi"

, the former name of the building is "Daguan Building"

, "Zuijin" on the left floor
