The Qinghe County Lord of the Red Chamber

There is no need to talk about the excitement under the New Year's Eve in various prefectures, just to show your eyes that the New Year is over, and the Shangyuan Festival is approaching.

This day, Shang Chanchan came to the third elder brother Shang Ji's side, ready to make a fortune.

On the eve of the New Year's Eve, Marquis Baoning waved his hand and gave New Year's gifts to his three sons and one daughter.Each of the three sons is a calligraphy and painting by a famous artist, but Shang Chanchan is the only one who is famous.

Shang Chanchan protested: "Daddy is biased."

Shang Duo laughed: "I see that you don't like reading, and it would be a waste to give you ancient books, calligraphy and paintings."

Shang Chanchan: ...

Indeed, among her three older brothers, Shang Chi and Shang Jun needless to say, even Shang Jun, who is the most innocent and not too crooked, is good at reading.

On the other hand, Shang Chanchan, although she came up with the idea quickly, she probably came to this world and was not acclimatized. She used to be a good student, but now she is not good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

In addition, she likes to collect wealth, so Shang Duo directly gave her daughter a gift.To avoid disappointing each other with calligraphy and painting, it would be a waste.

But Shang Chanchan is still going to come to third brother to rob his calligraphy and painting at this time.

Although she is an ordinary person, she wants to give Lin Daiyu a new year gift!

But given her a hundred guts, she wouldn't dare to plot against Shang Chi, and her second brother Shang Jun would definitely frown and educate her, so she picked up the persimmons and came to Shang Ji.

What Shang Ji has here is a picture scroll of Shouxuan drawn by a famous artist in the former dynasty, that's all right next to it, but Shang Chanchan knows that daylilies are also known as Wangyoucao.In addition, this painting is very elegant and peaceful, she thinks it is very suitable for Daiyu.

So he came to cheat his third brother.

Hearing Shang Chanchan's reason for coming, Shang Ji smiled and said: "My sister wants to take it for fun, so just take it."

"Third Brother, I'm not borrowing this, I'm not paying it back." Seeing that he readily agreed, Shang Chanchan hastily emphasized.

"Okay." Shang Ji still nodded.

"Not only will I not return it, but I will give it away."

"Since I gave it to you, it's up to you to hang it for fun or give it away."

Shang Ji smiled gently and said, "If you give someone away, we will only be happy. In the past, my sister not only refused to go out to make friends, but she didn't even talk to us. She was just bored in the room."

Shang Chanchan froze.

Since she came here, she has gradually figured out the temperament of the real Shang girl from the past: probably because she was weak since she was a child, that girl behaved very much like a modern autism.

He always just hid in the room and refused to speak.The imperial doctor also diagnosed that there is something wrong with being introverted, it is a kind of disease, and it will gradually get better in the future.

That's why Shang Chanchan simply integrated into this family after time travel. Even Shang Chi, who was as smart as Shang Chi, didn't think she was a different person, only thought that she had recovered from her illness.

But the little, weak and autistic girl from before is actually gone.

Seeing that Shang Ji treated her so well, Shang Chanchan felt a sense of guilt for stealing other people's lives.

But instead of feeling guilty, take action.She made up her mind to do something for this family, just like she knew this was the world of Red Mansions for the first time and wanted to do something for Lin Daiyu.

Seeing her in a daze, Shang Ji simply handed over the scroll with his own hands, and patted her head: "We will take you out to play on the Lantern Festival, and tomorrow I will bring back various masks for you to choose."

On the second day, Shang Ji sent nearly a hundred masks, and Shang Chanchan picked out a rabbit mask—the surface of this mask was woven with rabbit fluff, just like a real rabbit.Shang Chanchan also asked Ba Chun to make her two fluffy pink ears and put them on.

The rest were all sent to Rongguo Mansion for Daiyu to pick them up, and the mother who came back said that Daiyu picked up a jade girl mask, Shang Chanchan nodded: "Except for Sister Lin, no one is worthy of being a jade girl under a Bodhisattva, this one Good choice."

The maids around her were already used to her girl bragging about Miss Lin, so she pretended not to hear her.

It happened that Shang Chi came over, saw her fiddle with the mask and smiled and said, "Houer Zhongyong Wangfu's princess is going out too, so I asked someone to send you a post saying that we are going to watch the lantern together."

After getting along for a month, Shang Chanchan also got to know Lirong Princess' temperament.

That is the hero of the serious women's school, and she doesn't care about women's training. If it weren't for the unlucky women who went to battle, she would be a female general of the Yang family.

Sure enough, she will also go out for a visit during the Lantern Festival.

"There is another post, it's from the Xie family, Xie Ling." Shang Chi's eyes turned around on his younger sister's face: "It's inconvenient for him to bring three concubine sisters, so he wants to stay with our family and take care of each other. "

Shang Chanchan was really a little afraid of this big brother, and felt that his eyes seemed to see through everything, so she lowered her head and said, "Well, we all know each other anyway, so let's go together."

Shang Chi smiled slightly, as if the sun was breaking through the clouds: "Really, I know."

Shang Chanchan: ...Brother, I'm even more scared if you're like this.

When it came to the day of the Ghost Festival, Shang Chanchan didn't even care about eating raw, and just waited for it to get dark outside.

When she really went outside, she realized that the lights of the Lantern Festival in ancient times were no worse than those in modern times, and the flavor of the New Year Festival was much stronger.

The east of the capital is rich and the west is noble. The west side of the Baoninghou Mansion itself is the most prosperous place in Beijing. Naturally, it is a lively scene of fire trees and silver flowers.

I saw the thunder of cars and horses on the long street, and crowds of people.Various lanterns can be seen everywhere, such as Jinping lanterns, Yulou lanterns, lotus lanterns, and hydrangea lanterns.There are also many fresh animal tricks, such as golden toads swallowing treasures, green lions carrying lanterns, apes offering peaches and so on.It is really silver and snowy, and the jewels are heaven and earth.

Shang Chanchan took Daiyu's hand and pointed at them one by one.

The first time the two met through a mask, they both thought it was very interesting.

After walking for a short time, they joined Princess Lirong and the members of the Xie family.

Princess Lirong dressed up like a man, wearing brocade clothes and jade belts, just like a young man.It's just that the mask is still on the face.

But her mask is also different from other women, it is the mask of Zhenjun Erlang.

In order to cooperate with the effect, she also led a majestic black dog in her hand to act as a roaring dog, so that she hardly needed guards around her, and passers-by avoided her.

Fortunately, this black dog is well trained. Although it is huge, it has a docile temperament.

And he especially likes the girl's house. Since Daiyu, he has sniffed and rubbed all the girls one by one. Daiyu was afraid at first, but later seeing it was docile, she even reached out to touch it.

Shang Chanchan was not afraid of dogs, she stretched out her hand and rubbed the fur on the hound's head into a mess.

The three concubine girls of Cheng Engong Xie's family were all dressed in the same color, and their masks were just the most ordinary beauties, just like the pictures of Zhaojun and Xi Shi.

Speak softly, if Princess Lirong and others don't ask, these three girls will be quiet like lambs and keep silent.

Shang Chanchan and Xie Ling's eyes met, and Xie Ling nodded slightly.

These ten or so young masters and girls are all dressed in extraordinary clothes, plus the guard maids next to them, they are really majestic.The people around are also sharp, so they don't go around these people.

Shang Chanchan tugged at Shang Chi's sleeve and said, "Brother, go and help take care of the sisters of the Xie family. There is a third brother here."

The first priority is to send away this elder brother who is good at observation and judgment, so that she and Xie Ling can find a chance to communicate.

Shang Chi smiled: "Okay."

Then he turned around and waved to Xie Ling: "This side is free, you can come and talk."

Shang Chanchan only felt that the hairs all over her body were standing on end, and she looked at her big brother from behind the mask with a pair of dark eyes.

Shang Chi laughed in a low voice: "I've just winked, can you still hide it from someone? I don't know what story you guys are going to make, but Xie Ling is a pretty good person, so I don't bother to care about it."

Xie Ling felt his ears heat up.

He was eight years younger than Shang Chi, and he hadn't had much contact with him. He didn't know that Shang Chi had seen through what he had to say to Shang Chanchan.I thought it was because the Xie family merchants had a tacit understanding in their hearts, agreed on a marriage, and allowed their children to cultivate their relationship from an early age.

So with gratitude to his uncle, he walked over and gave Shang Chi a bow.

Shang Chanchan was really afraid of this big brother, so she simply broke the jar and said to Shang Chi with a smile: "Thank you, big brother, I will definitely recruit from the truth later."

Xie Ling has always been straight to the point, the first sentence is: "Jia Baoyu cannot be entrusted to her for life."

His voice was low and low, and it was so low that only Shang Chanchan beside him could hear it.

"As expected." Shang Chanchan sighed.

As someone who has read the original work, she probably understands Jia Baoyu's personality better than anyone else.That's really "wretched and unable to understand current affairs, a good appearance turns out to be reckless in the belly."

The only desirable thing is that he is sincere to Daiyu, who can say in a dream: "What kind of golden and jade marriage, I would say it is a marriage between wood and stone".

Xie Ling didn't know about these past and present lives, he just looked at Jia Baoyu's behavior and felt very bad.

At the banquet that day, whether Jia Baoyu treated actors or courtesans well, that was called tenderness and loveliness. It can be said that he couldn't walk when he saw a beautiful woman, and he didn't care about his status.

But Xie Ling naturally didn't want to tell a girl about these romances, so he had to tell another reason.

"I asked Jia Baoyu what he would do if the Rongguo Mansion fell." Xie Ling seldom spoke so long in his life, but he always felt very relaxed talking in front of Shang Chanchan.

Probably because he had seen Shang Chanchan's true face, so he talked more.

It's like people who share the same secret are more likely to become friends.

Xie Ling frowned, very incomprehensible: "Then Jia Baoyu actually said that even if it comes to the day when we can't make ends meet, he will be indispensable."

It's not surprising that Shang Chanchan smiled, isn't it? This is what Jia Baoyu can say.

Even Lin Daiyu once said that Rongguo Mansion's consumption of internal resources is not a long-term solution when she is free. In the end, Jia Baoyu, a serious descendant of Rongguo Mansion, didn't care, and said that if we are missing, no one will be missing us.

Unlike Shang Chanchan's attitude towards Baoyu, who still has some original filters, in Xie Ling's eyes, Jia Baoyu is simply the best synonym for an embroidered pillow without learning or skill.The only redeeming feature is probably that he has a kind heart, not some kind of dandy who harms others.

Xie Ling continued: "I'll ask him again, what kind of books are he studying now, and whether he has any plans to get fame and revitalize his family. In the end, he told a lot of fallacies."

"In his opinion, it was wrong for Wen Si to remonstrate with Wu to fight to the death, and he even demoted all the officials as national thieves."

Xie Ling said that he couldn't understand, after all, didn't his ancestors from the Ningrong Second Mansion scold him together.

Shang Chanchan thought to herself: That's right, even sisters and beauties like Baochai and Xiangyun persuade him to study, he can leave them behind and leave, or turn around and invite them out.

With a man like Xie Ling whispering these words in his ear, it's good that Jia Baoyu didn't scold him on the spot.

In fact, Jia Baoyu really wanted to reprimand this layman who was full of fame and fortune with righteous words.

But Xie Ling's falcon-like eyes looked at the past, Jia Baoyu thought about the other party's past reputation of hitting people when they disagreed, and reluctantly swallowed his words, expressing that he was too lazy to talk to such a foolish person.

That's why Xie Ling reluctantly coped with a few words, and now these words have reached Shang Chanchan's ears.

Shang Chanchan shook her head: "As a man, if you don't want to make contributions, it's fine to revitalize the lintel. It's a way of life to be calm and caressing about mountains and rivers. It's just that you can't even support your wife and children in the future. It doesn't matter who the daughter is married to. Doesn’t he have to suffer all the time? Isn’t it okay to ask his wife to support him with her own dowry? Can this also be called a man?”

At this point, Shang Chanchan finally let go of her delusions about a good relationship between wood and stone.

Lin Daiyu deserves a better man.

Xie Ling walked with her quietly for a while, and seeing her staring at a lamp suddenly, he bought it and said, "This is a kind of beast unique to Sichuan. The Iron Beast said he could crush gold and iron."

It's not some iron-eating beast, it's a giant panda!Shang Chanchan retorted inwardly.

I saw that this black and white spliced ​​lantern looked like a giant panda, although it was much more fierce than the national treasure in her impression, but it still made her very kind.

"It doesn't eat iron, but bamboo." Shang Chanchan took the lamp from Xie Ling.

Xie Ling thought for a while: "It's not recorded like this in the book. It's just that there are many bamboos in Shu, if there are no iron and copper things, he probably can only eat bamboo to satisfy his hunger."

...You uneducated ancient person, Shang Chanchan secretly slandered.

But she still looked at the lamp happily, and the mottled candlelight reflected on her soft and furry rabbit mask, making her eyes more and more like lacquer.

Xie Ling suddenly felt a soft heart.

Thinking of Shang Chanchan's criticism of Jia Baoyu just now, he took the initiative to say: "Although our family is not the most famous family, it is also a family of three generations of princes and hairpins. Father's career, in the future he will make some achievements in the army."

This is to tell Shang Chanchan that a man like Jia Baoyu is unbearable to be a husband, and she is very different from him.

After he confessed the Xie family's family background and his own ambitions, he felt his heart beating like a drum.

Even when I first witnessed the battlefield with my father when I was young, I didn't have such nervousness and excitement.He had no choice but to squeeze his fists tightly in secret to ensure the stability of his voice.

He looked into Shang Chanchan's eyes, and said word by word: "So, don't worry."

Shang Chanchan:? ? ?I rest assured?What am I worried about?

What does the inheritance and wealth of your Xie family have anything to do with me? Our family is also very good.

And isn't this Mr. Xie famous for his dead language?Why did you take the wrong medicine today, and ran up to me to show off.

Is it great that your son inherits his father's career and can become a general?In the future, my elder brother might be able to become a prime minister after inheriting his father's career.Shang Chanchan expressed her dissatisfaction.

Could it be... Shang Chanchan only felt a flash of inspiration in front of her eyes, like a revelation.

Xie Ling fell in love with Sister Lin!No wonder he just dismissed Jia Baoyu as worthless, and now he is showing off the Xie family's family background and his own capabilities to me.

So Shang Chanchan quickly filtered Xie Ling's information in his mind: he was born in the Queen's mother's family, Cheng'en Gongfu; the Empress Dowager Shang once said that Xie's family was exceptionally rich; , There are so many compliments, it shows that Xie Ling must have a bright future.

Except for his serious and precocious appearance, Xie Ling's conditions are really good in all aspects, which can be taken into consideration.

After taking stock, Shang Chanchan was going to give Xie Ling a chance.

So she smiled, nodded, and released a little bit of goodwill from Dai Yuniang's family to Xie Ling, a candidate for brother-in-law: "Really, that's very good, I hope Brother Xie will become a general as soon as possible."

My elder sister Lin is so talented, it would be a pity to marry such a martial artist.

But if Xie Ling became a great general, his wife could barely pass the imperial order of one or two ranks.

Xie Ling looked at Shang Chanchan's crooked eyebrows and eyes behind the mask, and heard her soft tone, and felt that a big stone had been put down in her heart.

It is important to be recognized by the other party's family, but the most important thing is to be recognized by the future wife.

Thinking of this, he was still a little grateful to Jia Baoyu who set him a negative example.Thinking about the downfall of the four major families, if Jia Baoyu is not charged with prison and exiled, but has nothing to rely on, I am very willing to give Jia Baoyu some gold and silver to settle down for today's foil.

But this time, although Xie Ling and Shang Chanchan were talking about each other, and what they said was wrong, they were still very satisfied with each other.

So Shang Chanchan generously gave Xie Ling the next message: "The Rongguo Mansion releases usury."

Lending money in this dynasty is a crime written in the law. Although many officials and officials let their servants do this in private, it is still an act of breaking the law and discipline.

People who cherish feathers will not do it, anyway, the Baoninghou Mansion will not do such a thing.

Xie Ling nodded: "We know this, but for the four major families, buying and selling official positions is commonplace, and they don't take such small crimes seriously."

"Then what about taking over the lawsuit and assassinating people's lives?" After all, Sister Feng had already taken over in Tiekan Temple at this time.

Although Shang Chanchan still likes Wang Xifeng, Sister Feng's actions are somewhat cruel.

Xie Ling thought about it for a while: "Are you talking about Xue Pan beating someone to death, and Jia Yucun erased it for him? Speaking of which, your lord Shang Hou followed the vines to find out this matter. Because Jia Yucun is owned by Mr. Lin It was recommended that the Jia family worked for him to get back up, so your father asked people to watch him, and found out about it."

Shang Chanchan shook her head: "There is one more thing. When the Second Grandma Lian of Rongguo Mansion sent the spirit of the Qin family to Tiekan Temple, she was bribed by a nun in their family's Mantou Temple to do something. If you It’s convenient, just grab the oldest nun and ask.”

It's not that Shang Chanchan is vague, but that she is not the kind of IQ that can never forget Daiyu. She has watched Dream of the Red Chamber many times, but she still can't remember exactly what Sister Feng took care of.

In that chapter, she just watched Qin Zhong molesting the little nun.

At that time, I thought, no wonder, it turned out that it was not my own sister, otherwise I would not be sad at all when I couldn't send the spirit, but I was very sad when I parted from the little nun.

If they were siblings, they would be worse than beasts.

Xie Ling nodded, but was also puzzled: "This kind of thing can also be regarded as a private matter in the Rongguo Mansion. How did you know it? Don't put yourself in danger. These investigations are what we men should do."

Shang Chanchan held the lamp and looked around, and said with a smile, "It's not dangerous."

What is the danger of reading.

But he still explained in his mouth, "You don't know that Lian's second grandma is the one who likes to take care of things and show her talents. Of course, her ability is far better than that of the men in the Jia family. And she is brave enough to say it herself. But she is not afraid of private retribution, she can do whatever she wants."

Afterwards, she approached Xie Ling and said mysteriously: "She also said that she is not afraid to sue the Jia family for treason."

It’s not a big deal if someone listens to this sentence alone.

Xie Ling didn't expect her to come over suddenly, but felt a faint fragrance from the tip of her nose, and quickly took a step back, for fear that others would hear his violent heartbeat.

Fortunately, the pedestrians on the street are extremely dense, and everyone walks crowded together, and it is not noticeable to advance and retreat while avoiding each other.

Shang Chanchan didn't care about Xie Ling's actions, she was just thinking about Sister Feng.

In fact, she really likes Wang Xifeng, he is really the hero of the makeup team, a phoenix born in the last days.

The men like Jia Zhen and Jia Lian in Rongning Second Mansion are not as good as her when they are tied together. If she hadn't managed in every possible way in the later stage, the Rongguo Mansion might not be able to keep the airs on the face.

It's a pity that she was born a daughter, and the Wang family never taught her daughter how to read and write, let alone teach the rules and laws. She just acted recklessly, and many things went astray, and she ended up in a miserable end.

If she was born in modern times to study and study, the world would be big enough to let her play, Cuan would be an outstanding strong woman.

When she thought of Sister Feng, she couldn't help feeling a little sad.

So he said: "Although the second grandma Lian took the lawsuit and released the usury, the second room Wang's help was indispensable. This is the open and secret fight between the two rooms of the Jia family. In short, if the second grandmother Lian didn't do anything big Evil thing, I would like to ask you to forgive me, she used to be nice to me and Sister Lin."

Shang Chanchan didn't know that those few words of hers really made Sister Feng realize that although she couldn't repent of what she did in the past, she no longer gave loan sharks.In the mansion, he only served Jia Mu, even leaving the housekeeper behind. Naturally, there were fewer chances of making mistakes in the future.

But here Xie Ling saw her turn from high to low, so he persuaded: "You are weak, don't worry too much, we have everything."

Shang Chanchan looked at him meaningfully again: Is he caring about himself?He is very smart, knowing that he has a good relationship with Sister Lin, so he curves to save the country.

Is this to make yourself speak well for him?

Thinking of the allusion that Xie Ling was regarded as a mute since he was a child, Shang Chanchan thought to himself, it would be hard for him to express his affection for Sister Lin by squeezing out so many words now.

So he smiled and said: "I understand what brother Xie means, you can rest assured."

I'll find an opportunity to speak well for you.

Xie Ling's serious face rarely showed a clear smile: Ah, my fiancée listened to my concern and reassured me.

What a beautiful day.

The author has something to say: Xie Ling: It turned out that the scariest thing was not chasing my wife to the crematorium, but I thought I had succeeded, but the other party gave me a good brother-in-law card.
