dream of red mansion

Xie Guowei took the lead in bowing with his hands clasped.

Jia Qing asked in surprise, "How do you know?"

As soon as Hou Hu heard that the boss was not happy, he mocked: "You still pretend? Zhang Ziwen and the others came out early, and left you alone inside. Why not apprentice? And you look at others and can't see you facing Mr. Fang Have you done the apprentice ceremony?"

That's right, based on the curiosity of human beings throughout the ages, there must be someone hiding outside the pavilion to observe what happened in the pavilion. After all, the pavilion on the hillside has no walls, which gives those "horses" an opportunity.

Qi Chengwu also said: "Brother Jia not only shined brilliantly at the poetry meeting today, but also worshiped Mr. Fang as his teacher. It can be said to be a double blessing. Shouldn't it be a treat?"

Jia Qing was indeed very happy now, and said proudly after hearing the words: "Okay, it's time to have lunch, let's go, Zuixiaolou, my little brother will be the host!"

Chapter 77 Inviting Liu Xianglian to Jiangnan

In the morning of spring, the cold wind was slightly biting, but many people still came out to do business very early.

On Ningrong Street, an exquisite carriage drove slowly, with a young man on each side of the carriage, followed by four sturdy young men dressed in green clothes.It was Jia Qing and his party who returned to Jia's mansion from the Imperial College.

He came back to prepare for going to the south of the Yangtze River.

After entering Ningguo Mansion, Jia Qing went directly to Ning'an Hall and was told that Jia Jing was in the study, so he went back to Jia Jing's study.

"You said you were going to Jiangnan?"

Inside Wangyue Pavilion, Jia Jing looked at Jia Qing and confirmed.

Jia Qing replied: "Yes, Lord Jijiu asked us to attend the Jiangnan Cultural Association held every three years."

Jia Jing was a little worried for a while, after all, Jia Qing was still so young, and he almost had an accident some time ago, he really didn't want Jia Qing to go far away.However, it seems that going to Jiangnan to participate in the literary conference this time is also a rare opportunity for experience, and he was a little uncertain for a while.

Seeing Jia Jing's tendency to disagree, Jia Qing decided to increase the bargaining chip, saying: "Teacher Hai'er also suggested that Hai'er go to Jiangnan..."

"teacher?"

Jia Jing asked, with so many gentlemen in the Imperial College, how did he know which one it was.Jia Jing regarded the teacher Jia Qing mentioned as a gentleman from the Imperial College.

"Father, the child has paid homage to his mentor the day before yesterday, and he is the former Minister of Rites of Nanjing, Mr. Fang."

"Fang Shou?"

"It is the name of the master."

Jia Jing was really surprised now.He knows exactly who Fang Shou is, and it is no exaggeration to say that he is the best teacher among scholars today.The level of his teaching disciples was universally praised by scholars, and he thus confirmed his reputation as a great Confucian.

If his son worships him as his teacher, he can rest assured a lot.

"Tell me, what's going on."

So Jia Qing talked about the most important things that happened that day at the poetry meeting, and when he heard Jia Qing's song "Song of Frog", he praised Jia Qing again and again.

After listening to Jia Qing's speech, Jia Jing thought about it again, and finally decided to let Jia Qing go to Jiangnan, but said that all the itinerary and entourage would be arranged by him.

So Jia Qing had no objection, and quit Wangyueju after thanking Jia Jing.

Back in Yipin Hall, the maids in the courtyard were very happy.Jia Qing went to the West Wing Room first, Cui Liu was still doing needlework as usual, Jia Qing told her that she was going to Jiangnan, after Cui Liu gave her instructions, she took a set of clothes and two pairs of shoes that she just made Handed over to Jia Qing.

Jia Qing did not refuse, most of the clothes he wore were made of Cui Liu, and Xie Luan and Pei Feng were not as good as Cui Liu in this aspect.

After returning to Qingju, he handed over the things to Xie Luan to pack them up, and told them about going to Jiangnan again.

"Second Master, I have never been to Jiangnan in my life, can you take me there~"

As soon as Jia Qing finished speaking, Pei Feng moved the stool to Jia Qing's side, looked at Jia Qing with wide eyes, and begged.

Jia Qing deliberately shook his head and said, "No, I have business to do, so it's inconvenient to take you with me."

Pei Feng acted coquettishly again: "Is there any inconvenience? Second Master will definitely give Second Master a boat when he goes to the south of the Yangtze River. When the time comes, I will stay on the boat and not go anywhere. I will definitely not cause trouble for Second Master. Can take care of the second master, by the way, sister Xiluan will go with us too, okay?"

Just at this time, Xie Luan also came out from the room, Pei Feng probably felt that the sisters had a better chance of persuading the second master, so she also brought Xie Luan in.

Xie Luan also came over and told Jia Qing with her eyes: She also wants to go.

Jia Qing looked at the two of them acting coquettishly, and felt amused.Since he didn't go with Sun Wangwang and the others, it wouldn't matter how many people he brought with him. Jia Jing would also prepare a big boat for himself, otherwise how could he feel at ease?Moreover, Jia Qing estimated that Jia Jing would arrange at least ten servants for him to accompany him, and it would be inconvenient if the boat was too small.

On the face, Jia Qing put on a embarrassed look and said: "Then, then you wait for me to ask the master's opinion and see if the old man agrees..."

As soon as they heard Jia Jing's name, the two sisters immediately felt uncomfortable.Xie Luan hurriedly said: "Forget it, we just don't go."

They didn't dare to leave a restless impression on Jia Jing. They dared to be more casual when the second master treated them easy-going.But in front of Jia Jing, how dare they say one more word?Just thinking about what they heard from the wives outside about the tragedy of some servants who made a mistake and were punished by the patriarch, they would feel chills in their hearts.

Although Peifeng still wanted to go very much, she didn't dare to make a sound anymore.

Seeing them frightened the two pretty girls at once, while Jia Qing lamented the authority of the parents under the feudal system, he couldn't help feeling more and more fond of them, saying: "Okay, I'll tease you, how can the master care?" These things, I will take you there."

When the two heard this, their worry turned into joy in an instant.But Pei Feng was dissatisfied immediately and said: "Hmph, the second master likes to tease people, so he brought out the master to scare us, really bad!"

Xie Luan just smiled, Second Master treated them very well.Suddenly remembered something, and Xie Luan said: "By the way, Second Master, someone sent a letter in yesterday, and I didn't look too anxious. It was getting late, so I thought about sending someone to Second Master today. sent.

I didn't want to get up early and forget about it. Now that the second master is back, it saves trouble. "

"Oh, who sent it?"

Xie Luan said: "I heard that Mrs. Zhao, who delivered the letter, said that it seemed to be called Liu. Oh, I really don't remember much. Hey, the letter is placed on the second master's desk, pressed with an inkstone. Second master can go and see for himself." .”

Could it be Liu Xianglian?Jia Qing got up and walked to the desk, there was indeed a letter there, picked it up and read: Jia Qingxian personally wrote it.

When I took it apart, there were only a few short lines of words: Brother Jia Xian, it's like seeing a letter.My brother was invited by a friend and wants to go to Nanjing. I have decided to leave tomorrow. I hope my brother will remember!

Signed: Liu Xianglian.

Nanjing, isn't that the same as your destination?Tomorrow, Xie Luan said it was delivered last night, so it should be today!

It's still early now, maybe he hasn't left yet, so I just call him together, anyway, he is very skilled in martial arts, and he can also be a bodyguard...

"I've got something to go out, and you guys should pack up, and we'll set off tomorrow morning."

Said that Jia Qing has already left the house.

Fortunately, Liu Xianglian's residence was not far from Jia's mansion. When Jia Qing arrived, Liu Xianglian had just had breakfast and was about to leave.

They are martial artists of the rivers and lakes, and they don't travel like Jia Qing and the others, who have a lot of followers.Moreover, they usually don't take a boat, and they go to the south of the Yangtze River on a horse, and they don't rush to set off early in the morning.

Liu Xianglian saw Jia Qing enter the door, tied the horse again, and greeted him, "Why is Jia Xiandi here?"

Jia Qing said: "It's really a coincidence, isn't Brother Liu going to Jiangnan? It just so happens that my younger brother is going to Nanjing too, why don't we go together?"

Liu Xianglian asked: "Is there such a coincidence? Why did Jia Xiandi go south?" He said and went into the room to welcome Jia Qing.
