Red Mansion: He Doesn't Want to Bend

Lin Jue took the bowl of fresh ham and fresh bamboo shoot soup before eating the wine. While eating the bowl of warm soup, he felt his heart warmed up.He picked up a piece of ham and said with a smile, "I used to eat this soup when I was in Yangzhou. It's the best to eat in winter. Yangzhou calls it 'a sip of freshness'. We are originally from Suzhou, and my father likes to call it' Pickled Duxian'."

King Beijing ordered the maidservant to bring over a bowl and ate it with a spoon. It was really delicious and mellow, and he said to Murong, "You have been refusing to serve this soup for nearly five years."

Fresh Ham and Bamboo Shoot Soup, the original Xiaoyi Wang Murong Yongnian loved this soup the most when he was in the palace, and he always saw it every winter.It's just that there are rules for eating in the palace, and the dishes are no more than three spoons.Naturally, the soup should not exceed three bowls, and King Xiaoyi was very restrained when he was in the palace.Even if I can come out, I am always greedy, so I need to use a few more bowls.

Naturally, only people who are very close know this.

People in the palace are very forgetful, even if they feel pain in their hearts, they have to pretend to be nonchalant on the outside.When should this soup be eaten or when should it be eaten, just like the succession of emperors goes round and round, and it will never stop because of the absence of one person.

Murong and even want to eat this bowl of soup, it must be revenge.

Murong Zhizhi said softly: "You have always been a smart person, so you don't need to tell the whole story."

Smart people only look at the result, not the cause and effect.Just because you ask, you will get burned, it is better not to ask.

King Bei Jing laughed lowly and said, "Yes, I only asked here."

The two of them were playing charades, and some others didn't dare to intervene, and some didn't want to intervene.Naturally, Jia Baoyu didn't know what was going on, so he didn't dare to say anything. He just held the rose juice and ate it while lowering his voice: "Cousin Jue, how has Sister Lin been at home these past two days?"

Lin Jue nodded and said, "Please miss her, your sister is fine at home."

Baoyu got closer again, and said softly: "Two days ago, my grandparents took my sister to live in the garden, but my sister refused. Sister Bao didn't come, so what's the fun in the garden?"

"The old ancestor took her to live there, so she shouldn't have resigned. It's just that there are a lot of chores at home during the Chinese New Year, and I want your sister to help with some things. Besides, your sister is getting older now, and she always needs to learn how to manage the house It’s not easy to think about playing every day.”

Baoyu was stunned for a long time holding the glass cup, and then said blankly: "Although this is the reason, I always think of my sister."

Lin Jue knew that he was stubborn and obsessive, so she ignored him, and just stretched out her chopsticks to pick up vegetables.For a while, I heard Bei Jing Wang said: "Recently, I heard that the eldest princess Jingduan is going back to the palace to celebrate the new year?"

Murong Zhizhi nodded: "The Empress Dowager always thinks, after all these years, it's time to come back and have a look."

Princess Jingduan is an admirable princess. Most princesses who marry far away don't live long, but Princess Jingduan lives exceptionally well.Next to the Princess Heqin, let alone returning to the capital, it is also a problem to live freely.

Lin Jue has also heard of the reputation of Princess Jingduan for a long time, and he admires her very much in his heart.Now when someone mentions it, I can't help but tilt my head to listen.Just at this time, I heard a maidservant outside say: "My lord, there are servants in the palace to deliver the order."

Murong even paused with his chopsticks: "What's the matter?"

"The emperor invites Uncle Lin to enter the palace immediately."

Lin Jue put down the chopsticks slowly, with an extremely cold expression on his face.Since that day when Murong Yongkuan treated him lightly and the two broke up unhappy, Lin Jue never saw Murong Yongkuan again.I heard that he was reprimanded by the Supreme Emperor because of the flood, and recently he often handles political affairs in Yangguang Palace, even the harem has less income.What is the reason for summoning Lin Jue today?

He made up his mind, and was about to stand up, but his wrist was held by the person beside him: "Zijing, I will accompany you..."

"Zenian, I'll go by myself." Lin Jue put his other hand on the back of his hand and looked at him quietly. "I must take care of the matter myself."

Cause and effect are all caused by him, and he has to deal with it himself before the end is over.Murong Yongkuan's anger will only be deepened if Murong Zhizhi goes with him.If he put all his eggs in one basket and did something bad, he would lose a thousand to himself, and Lin Jue and Murong would also suffer eight hundred.

This is not necessary, very unnecessary.

Lin Jue finally went alone, even though Murong Zhizhi let him out, he was worried after all.In the end, the banquet failed to be a banquet, so they left early.Chen Ju'an, Jia Baoyu and others have all gone out, only the King of Beijing is still in the room.

King Bei Jing whispered in Murong Zhizhi's ear: "There is someone's eyes and ears in your house, I don't know who it is, you should be careful."

After everyone left, Xin Fu looked at Murong Zhizhi and said, "My lord..."

Murong Zhizhi said softly: "Let's clean it up, it's useless."

Prince He Rui's mansion has been rectified by the Empress Dowager and the Supreme Emperor since it was opened, how difficult it is to put people in.At first I knew there was such a person, but I didn't know who it was.After a trip to Suzhou, everything is clear.Why in the past when Princess Shujun was placed in another courtyard, Princess Shujun often wept and suffered, and later she even gave birth to a heart that she did not want to live.

That man was placed in the other courtyard, originally to make Princess Shu feel miserable.

Later, he was favored by chance and brought back to the palace, which became a better chess game.I told the man about everything, and I became a pair of clairvoyant eyes.

He kept her because he wanted to know who had secretly helped that one.At the beginning, I was only suspicious, but now I understand that it is really him.

Because of doubts, there was that bowl of ham and fresh bamboo shoot soup, and because of doubts, there were those tempting words at the dinner table.

Why can his sister enter the palace as the queen, why can the Beijing Palace be able to judge the situation and stand tall...

Murong Zhizhi closed his eyes and leaned on the soft couch, waving his hands wearily.After that pawn was removed, he and the King of Beijing should also become strangers.King Beijing Jing may not be unaware of the ending, but he still did it.Just because the two sisters became queens, they failed to retain the beauty of the Beijing Palace.Instead of this, it is better to take the risk and sell him well.It is also to let him know that that one started plotting against him early in the morning.There is no need to be soft-hearted, but to remove the last softness in the heart.

However, King Beijing Jing never expected that he would no longer have any soft-heartedness for that nephew.

Xin Fu saw him closing his eyes and resting his mind, looking very tired, and speculated: "Does the lord want to ask a few words?"

"No, just give her a good time."

Xin Fu retreated in response, told Jiao Qin and went to Cuckoo to wait outside, and called Gan Qing to follow her.Going out the door, bypassing the promenade, and exiting the Moon Cave Gate, only then did two women come in: "Ask Meiyan to come to the Jingtou Pavilion. A nobleman is coming to stay tomorrow, so ask her to wait on her. Tell her to change into a clean one." clothes."

After the two women had gone, Gan Qing asked, "Sister, who wants to come?"

Xin Fu led her all the way to the Crystal Pavilion, with a chill in her eyes like a thrush: "Where is someone coming, it is to send someone away."

Gan Qing couldn't help being cold, and shivered ignorantly.

The Jingtou Pavilion is located in a remote place, separated by a large lake, and there is no side road, only punting is the only way to go up.Everything to be done today is a private matter, so naturally only those who know the truth can handle it.In the past, Xing Ji was the one who punted the boat, but now that Xing Ji is not in the house, the one who punted the boat became Xing Ji's goddaughter.

Gan Qing didn't know at first why she had to learn to punting when she was serving the prince, but now she vaguely seemed to know something.

It turns out that it is for today.

The boat arrived at the Jingtou Pavilion, but Gan Qing didn't get off the boat.Xin Fu told her to go back with the boat, and come back with Meiyan after a while.

Xin Fu got off the boat, and without anyone to help her, she carried her skirt and walked into the gate of the Jingtou Pavilion.The snow has fallen deeply, and there is only a deaf-mute old couple in the Jingtou pavilion, at least to pack up some things.There was no one else around.

Now is the season when all the flowers are withering, and the courtyard of Jingtou Pavilion is full of green and no business.

Xin Fu walked up the steps and looked back, only to see the vast expanse of white snow, and the lake surface in the distance was like frost, and he could not see the way he came from.This crystal pavilion has not been used for many years, even if the old couple cleaned it up, it still exudes a musty smell.When it was used back then, it was still the canal that was used to deal with people.In fact, this is the first time that Xin Fu has been sent off on the road in a serious manner.

Xin Fu entered the house, waved the old couple back, and stepped forward to open the window.A gust of cold wind rolled in the snowflakes, fluttering and awe-inspiring, but it made people wake up instantly.She opened the drawer of the kang table and took out the fire pocket.Then he lifted the copper incense burner on the table, took out two pieces of incense cakes from his waist purse, put them in and lit them, and after a while, the fragrance really came out.

The old couple came again, caged the brazier and carried it up.Putting it down quietly, he backed out again.

Xin Fu sat on the kang and waited for a while before Gan Qing came in with Meiyan.Sure enough, Meiyan had changed into a new set of clothes, probably newly made winter clothes, and hadn't been put on yet.The peach red jacket is put on outside, and the slender waist can still be seen.She has the best eyebrows and eyes, her eyebrows are as dark as black, and her eyes are full of waves. Only these two things make her stand out.

Meiyan stepped forward to pay respects, said: "Sister." Then asked: "Which noble person is coming tomorrow, this place is remote, so I have to pack a lot of things, so as not to be in a hurry at that time."

"Come and sit, Gan Qing go and pour tea." Gan Qing opened the curtain and went out, Mei Yan stepped forward and sat on the other side of the kang.I didn't dare to sit too much, I only touched a little.

The smoke from the small copper censer on the table lost its shape, Xin Fu lifted the lid and took the copper hairpin on his head to shake it.The mouth was very flat: "You have Uncle Lin's blue eyes and the name Meiyan, this is your blessing."

"Yes, this servant knows." Mei Yan was worried in her heart.

"My lord was grateful that you had served the concubine of Shujun for a while, and also fell into Uncle Lin's eyes, so he ordered me to see you off." The copper hairpin was left to cool in his hand, and it was lightly clasped on the table, making a small sound.She put the lid on the copper censer, didn't look at Meiyan's face, got up straight, and took down a dark green brocade box from the multi-treasure shelf.Sitting back again, the brocade box was pushed in front of Meiyan. "My lord loves me so much, I reward the whole corpse."

Meiyan's complexion was pale, her lips trembled, and the sound of teeth chattering came out of her mouth.The Yuanshan eyebrows that looked like snails were tangled and twisted together, and the eyes were filled with dew, and the sad eyes made people feel sorry for them.

"Sister...what's wrong with me?"

"I want to give you face..." She paused and said, "Let's go on the road earlier, but unfortunately, you won't be able to eat this year's dumplings."

Inside the brocade box was a small porcelain vase depicting peony flowers, pasted on red paper with three characters written on it.Meiyan couldn't read the words, she blinked, tears rolled down her eyes, but her voice was not choked up when she spoke: "Sister, what word is this?"

Xin Fu glanced at her, then turned his eyes to the small porcelain vase, and said for a long time, "The crane's top is red."
