The Red Chamber: Lianyufengchai

He pointed to the "Lvxiangxihu" on the top

The four characters were written by the emperor's imperial pen in a certain year. Jia Lian praised: "Sure enough, the dragon is flying and the phoenix dances, and the writing power is extraordinary. It is beyond our ability to match."

He pretended to look left and right, "How come there is no royal pen of today's sage?"

King Zhongshun's annoyance was evident in his words. This was clearly a pot that could not be opened and lifted. Who knew that Jia Lian looked at the plaque with two characters on the left and right, "Leshou"

, "Safety"

, smiled slightly, and looked at King Zhongshun deeply, "It seems that the lord knows the mystery of the two. The so-called mayfly hides the day and night, and the cricket doubts the spring and autumn. The lord dares not to take a deep precaution."

Saying that, he pointed to the sky where no one else could see it. King Zhongshun was shocked, Jia Lian immediately signaled, and he hurriedly covered it up, hehe smiled and said: "I thought that sending mayflies in the sky and the sea would be like a vast ocean. One of the millets is more appropriate. If you can carry the flying immortals to travel around, and hold the bright moon and die, you will have no regrets!"

The two smiled at each other and turned around, as if they were just talking about Emperor Taishang's inscription. Taking their seats again, King Zhongshun leaned forward and asked, "Brother Lian, you are not here to tell your brother this. Bar"

Jia Lian just sat up straight, "I heard that the prince's family lost a Qi official, and your long history aggressively broke into the poor house to be a dignitary. My uncle is a sincere person, and I know that my brother also talked to the Qi official a few times. In a few words, I want to explain one or two things to the prince, since Qiguan is the prince's favorite thing and cannot be separated from it for a moment, please keep it properly, don't lose it again, and suspect my brother who is not a weapon."

King Zhongshun took a few cases angrily, "This bastard, I have repeatedly explained to them that the mansion is different, how can I enter the door without authorization and ask for Brother Lian, just don't worry, wait: Huang Blind comes back, I will definitely give my brother an explanation."

Jia Lian smiled lightly, didn't speak, just held the empty teacup. The beautiful maid next to him hurriedly stepped forward to fill it up for him. King Zhongshun knew that Jia Lian was not so easy to get rid of. If it was yellow and white, he probably didn't have it He has a lot of family, or Luzhu wants to give him his concubine. His own daughter is in his teens, but he is married! After thinking about it, King Zhongshun doesn't know what Jia Lian wants. It's a fact. King Zhongshun is racking his brains here. In fact, Jia Lian thinks so well, what do you want from him! If he has Jia Lian's habit of cleanliness, he naturally refuses to be a setter. Uh, this is regarded as I didn't say it. If it's really a green pearl, I want it all! When Brother Zhen was still there, wasn't there a Twelve Heavenly Demon? Look, he is thrilling and dry-mouthed in Shenjing, and he is still famous in Shenjing. Zhongshun Wang also thought of this at the same time. This is the only way that Jia Lian can give him such a big gift. The Zhen family took great pains to collect them for him. At the beginning, only one cost nearly three thousand taels of silver. In addition to the clothing and upbringing, it is no less than [-] taels. It is even more rare that they are all virgins at a young age! How many nobles are greedy, just want to take it for themselves. Based on the current market price, it is three times more expensive than the Jia family's small dramas. More than twice. King Zhongshun felt distressed for a long time, and Jia Lian used two pieces of paper and one sentence to exchange for twelve. It was a good deal! But this is the only way to make sense. He took a deep breath and said with a smile: "It's better than this. , I happen to have a small drama in my house, I don't like to watch it on weekdays, I might as well give it to you, what do you think?"

Jia Lian is also welcome: "How dare you be?"

King Zhongshun saw his uncompromising expression, so he had to say generously: "I'll let them clean up and send them to your other courtyard!"

The two laughed tacitly. It was just that Jia Lian said that he wanted to vent his anger on Baoyu. Did Jia Lian take advantage of it, and he also cheated on King Zhongshun? Jia Lian has always been an honest and modest gentleman!

Chapter [-] Where is there anything good for him to come out of the Zhongshun Palace, Jia Lian said to Yang Jihe: "Sir, do you think he will be fooled?"

Yang Jihe said with a smile: "Why do we have to make him believe it when we are fooled?"

Jia Lian still didn't believe it, "I said Mr. Yang, even if he believed it, with what he can do now, not to mention that the Jinyi Army is always watching, it is difficult for him to even leave the palace now!"

Yang Ji and Fu Jia chain mounted: "Dong Weng, remember that you promised me a few spies"

Jia Lian walked with him on the bridle, "No matter what you want to do, you can't make up your own mind, you have to agree to it!"

Yang Jihe laughed and said, "That's natural. I'll go to the Anyi Prince's Mansion right now to catch up with the old days, or maybe we will find out the bad news between the two princely mansions."

Jia Lian immediately understood, "None of them are upright gentlemen, and it is possible to get along."

The two said goodbye. Jia Lian did not return to Rongguo Mansion, but went to Qingxu Temple again. There was Jia Lian's order in the Guan, and no one dared to make trouble. Jia Lian went in and went straight to the east building. Sister Feng asked: "what happened"

Jia Lian did it in the middle of Keqing Miaoyu, and put his arms around them: "But Baoyu has seduced people's hearts, and people came to ask for it. Speaking of which, even my face is dull."

Sister Feng spat, "Baoyu is so big, I'm still here! You guys also pay attention!"

Keqing Miaoyu shyly said: "Sister is angry, you go to her side!"

Jia Lian stepped forward and hugged Sister Feng, "Let's kiss, and let them be greedy!"

"Pooh!"

The three of them spit at the same time, "Let's go, the second master still goes to the front, the goddess asked you to fight! It's only here that we are making trouble!"

Jia Lian was kicked out by his family just like that. Their laughter could still be heard upstairs. This is a mess! Jia Lian walked to a quiet place. The old ladies upstairs and they don't have to wait, Li Wan doesn't Sitting patiently, I only went for a walk under the shade of the roadside. There was only Su Yun, the girl beside me. The two talked while walking. "Grandma, it's so lively over there, why don't we go to the theatre?"

"You can recite any play you haven't seen before."

"Why don't we go out to the garden? It's really good for the slaves to see the little girls at home practicing a few days before the good season."

"These are also what you can see. It's better to click on the red!"

"Of course the slave is the matchmaker, and the grandmother is Miss Cui, so who is Zhang Sheng?"

Li Wan pinched her cheek and said angrily, "Little hoof, make fun of me! Go back and clean you up!"

Su Yun asked quietly: "Grandma, why hasn't the second master come to find him recently?"

Li Wan blushed and scolded: "What kind of person, what kind of person am I just hoping that he won't come to find him for the rest of his life!"

Su Yun burst out laughing. "You just forget what you laugh about in two days"

Li Wan glared at her fiercely. Su Yun hurriedly said: "Grandma, this slave and maid already knew it was wrong. It's just that grandma is living in the second master's garden, so it is inevitable that it is not suitable. If grandma is determined, it is better to go and see. No worries, and fewer surprises."

Li Wan took the veil to cover up the red clouds on her face. Thinking of those accidents, her face turned even redder, and she couldn't even walk. Su Yun hurriedly came to help her. "What's wrong with my sister-in-law?"

Jia Lian came over from behind and said with a smile, "I don't want to go to the theater if I don't want to watch it, just order it."

Li Wan didn't speak, and turned his head away. Su Yun smiled and said, "Second Master, why don't you order what Grandma wants to see when you go out to the garden."

Jia Lian glanced at Li Wan's back, and stunned her. He joked, "It's better to be red!"

Su Yun held her face and smiled, "Second master and eldest grandma have both thought about it together. There is a poem that has a good understanding of how to say it."

"shut up!"

Li Wan turned around and wanted to beat her, "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, and don't be ashamed if you have a good heart!"

Jia Lian stepped forward to stop her, "Since you don't understand, you can spare her! Besides, you're right."

Li Wan said angrily, "Why not?"

The two accidentally glanced at each other. Li Wan became more and more timid, didn't dare to look, but had nowhere to hide. "What are you doing looking at me?"

Jia Lian blurted out and said, "It looks good!"

"Grandma Grandma"

Su Yun called out several times. Li Wan just woke up, "Damn girl!"

The roots of her ears were also red. Su Yun covered her mouth and smiled and said, "Grandma, the second master has gone far."

Li Wan asked: "How did he go?"

Suyun jokingly said, "Second Master said that it would be most suitable for you to play the role of the roasted red old lady. Could it be that grandma forgot?"

"what"

Li Wan's mind went blank. Jia Lian said something, and felt bored, and left while she was in a daze. "Grandma, do you want to be a slave and call the second master back?"

Li Wan nodded when he thought about it, and shook his head in a hurry. Su Yun whispered: "Grandma, are you thinking about the second master?"

"nonsense!"

Li Wan raised his hand and was about to hit him, embarrassed and angry, "Let's go, talk about these shameless things!"

Besides, Jia Lian left Li Wan and traveled around for a while before heading up the main building. Aunt Xue beckoned him to sit beside him. Jia Lian only sat on the small table. Aunt Xue came over and smiled: " Brother Lian, aunt has something to ask you!"

Jia Lian cupped his hands, "Auntie, just tell me."

Aunt Xue took Jia Lian's hand and said, "My son, your sister is older now, and you know a lot of people. You should also help to find a suitable husband-in-law for your sister."

On the other side, the old lady smiled and said, "This is a serious matter, and you can't perfunctory it! I'll ask the immortal Zhang here to pay attention later, and I'll let you know if there is any!"

Aunt Xue chuckled and nodded, only looking at Jia Lian. Jia Lian was a little surprised, did this give up the golden and jade relationship? "I don't know what my aunt is looking for"

Aunt Xue said: "I trust your vision. Whether your sister can marry or not is up to you!"

Jia Lian secretly rejoiced. Madam Wang also said, "Brother Lian, I have seen a few good plans for your brother, but unfortunately they are not done now. I simply entrust it to you, be sure to choose a look for Baoyu, a character, a family, and a family. They're all good. As long as they look good, let me know."

The old lady smiled and said, "It's the poor family, just give him a few taels of silver."

Jia Lian nodded and said, "Don't worry, Auntie."

As for Baoyu, if there is anything good to talk to him, You should prepare to wait for the next meal, and also go downstairs.

Chapter [-] The Twelve Pieces of A Dream of Red Mansions Jia Lian suffered a bit of a cold in Qingxu Guan, and he returned in the afternoon, and went lazy the next day. But Qing Miaoyu, led by Jia Lian, insisted not to go. Li Wan hesitated again and again, and because there was no one to accompany him, he also took leave. It was not cheap if only Feng and You accompanied the old lady and the others. When they returned to the garden, the sisters and girls were all weird. Jia Lian's hand smiled and said: "Second brother, how come we have twelve such delicate and beautiful girls here who can recite poetry and draw pictures, although they are all shallow, but they are also very good. Good brother, can We can't let them join the club and play with us like Xiangling."

Jia Lian didn't think about it for a while, "what girl"

Xiangyun hurriedly reminded: "Isn't it the twelve birds?"

"And twelve more fish!"

Jia Lian said with a smile. He was talking about the small drama of the Zhongshun Palace, Xiang Yun said, "Why are they called Fengluan, Young Bird, Crane, Nue, Nue, Yanpeng Pheasant?"

Jia Lian smiled and said: "This is interesting, but there is still a phoenix"

Xiangyun hurriedly dragged him inside. Because he didn't know how to arrange them, he stayed in Jixu Zhai for the time being. When he entered, Jia Lian had a dizzying feeling. The colorful clothes, the light and thin sur-shirts are either thin or transparent, the red and yellow tube tops are looming, the colorful skirts or pleats or gauze, it can be seen that the golden lotus is narrow and small. Each neck wears a necklace, and the hands are covered with silk. There is no doubt that they are beautiful. It's just that he looked at Daiyu Baochai in a blink of an eye, like a secluded guest in the empty valley, a hermit in the cloud, as pretty as a peach in three springs, and as pure as a chrysanthemum in nine autumns. Only then can I rest assured! I didn't cause trouble to myself. At this time , The twelve birds saluted Jia Lian in unison. Jia Lian waived, but asked, "Who among you is Feng'er?"

One of them, with a thin body and eyelids, came out, "This maid is"

Jia Lian said: "From now on, you will change your name to Xuan'er, and Xuan Niao is also good."

That Xuan'er immediately, with tears in her eyes, was very moving. I don't know how she made the master unhappy. Xiangling on the side persuaded in a low voice: "You have reiterated the name of the second grandmother, and you have not thanked the second master."

Xuan'er was busy and blessed. Jia Lian thought for a while and said, "Since you are here, you can stay here with peace of mind, and it will be your home from now on."

He looked back at Keqing Miaoyu, who looked unhappy, "There is a bigger house in the north, the Thirty-Six Mandarin Duck Museum, so they can live there and practice repertoire on weekdays."

"In the future, wear more clothes and be careful of catching a cold."

They all laughed lightly. Then Miaoyu led them to resettlement. The girls in Jixu Zhai looked at Jia Lian. Ke Qing smiled and said, "Second Master, what are they doing?"

A vigilant look flashed in his eyes. Jia Lian spread his hands, "They obey the king's apology."

Then she explained Baoyu's affairs in three or two sentences. Daiyu joked: "It turns out that Baoyu was punished, and my brother got a benefit! Logically, shouldn't the twelve of them have been given to Baoyu?

Baochai held a fan in his hand, "Don't talk about my brother, they are also moved when I see them. It's just my brother, you don't like listening to dramas, what do you want them to do?"

Tan Chun smiled and said, "Our garden is becoming more and more prosperous, and we simply moved the twelve girls from the manor. We don't call it Fengyi Garden, and it would be more appropriate to change the name to Daughter Country."

Jia Lian couldn't resist the inquiring eyes of the girls, and smiled: "I have twelve pieces of A Dream of Red Mansions in my heart, let them learn how to practice and dance them for us."

"What A Dream of Red Mansions"

Daiyu Baochai and the others hurriedly asked. So Jia Lian began to talk nonsense, "Above the sky of lihen, and in the sea of ​​sorrow, there is a place called Taixu Illusory Realm. There is a Jinghuan Fairy in it, who looks just like Keke. It's like a gentleman."

Keqing spat softly: "Who believes in you?"

But she couldn't help but continue listening. "I had a dream once, and she led me on a tour, Qionglou Yuyu, Xianming and fine wine, of course. There are a few people who have practiced magic dance and newly composed twelve fairy songs of "Dream of Red Mansions". , I only remembered it roughly."

Daiyu knew that he was talking about the allusions, and remembered the name of her own name, Jiangzhu Fairy, and couldn't help laughing. Baochai asked curiously, "Yu'er, have you heard of it?"

Daiyu covered her mouth and smiled and said, "I'm laughing at my brother and lying again, let's see if he can tell the lie today!"

Jia Lian glared at her, "There are gods and Buddhas in this world! Just listen to me humming."

He cleared his throat, "Opening up Hongmeng, whoever is in love is only for the love of the wind and the moon. Taking advantage of this day, sadness, and loneliness, I try to send the foolish heart. Therefore, I will perform this "Golden Mourning Jade" A Dream of Red Mansions.”

This song is hauntingly moving, it makes people feel lingering and sad when they listen to it. All the daughters are fascinated. Xiangyun recites the words once, "It's really lingering! Second brother, it must be good for those girls to practice. ."

Daiyu pulled her over, "Don't interrupt, this is the introduction, and there will be good things to come."
