[Red House Chai Dai] Salted Pork Knuckle, Crab Rice Wine

Unexpectedly, Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess has a dispassionate nature, and usually discusses matters in the Princess's mansion, and no one can spread any gossip.This time, however, it was not the case, and it was set up in a place called Jinxiangyuan in the capital.

Baochai saw that the person who came to deliver the news was vague, so she knew something was wrong. After the person left, she inquired quietly, and found out that Jinxiangyuan was actually a famous brothel in the capital, where princes and grandchildren often went to drink and have fun. It was very lively.

Ying'er blushed when she heard that, and said, "What kind of place is this? If a girl with a thousand-dollar body enters such a place, wouldn't her reputation be tarnished?"

But Xiaohong looked worried: "Now we are all grassroots, and no one protects us. Although Her Highness the Princess has done all kinds of bad deeds, she is our backer after all. If she hates Her Highness, it is difficult to protect the little girl who is arrogant and demeaning outside." People don't have any crooked thoughts, why is it impossible to ask Mr. Yao to go to the palace every time to ask the Empress Dowager for help? I'm afraid it will be too long."

Baochai said: "What Xiaohong said is very true. I don't know that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has a bad reputation in the capital, but we have to let her take the lead when we go out to sea to do business, so we can't offend him. I made you tired."

Ying'er and Xiaohong hurriedly said: "Where did the girl speak? As slaves, we can't go anywhere? I just wronged the girl."

Later Han Qi also sent someone to explain in detail that Baochai knew that the banquet was held to invite a distinguished guest and did not intend to humiliate her.The more relieved he was, he said with a smile: "I'm just a grassroots person, so where can I go? Those who clean themselves will clean themselves, but I just want to be clear of my heart."

When Yinger Xiaohong heard this, she was very sad, and secretly hated Aunt Xue for her unfeeling, which caused Baochai to lose her identity and be looked down upon by others.

Baochai herself is at ease in her heart, thinking back about her past life, how many ladies from famous families were cared for since childhood, and finally the family lost power, was sold by officials, fell into prostitution, was beaten by her mother all day long, flirtatious and filthy against her wish, and How many golden boudoir flowers and willow quality, after getting married, things go wrong, they wash their faces with tears all the year round, and they are tortured to death.It can be seen that the so-called innocence is of no use at all, and now she just goes to Jinxiangyuan to drink wine quietly and be a clean guest, so why should she be afraid?

Seeing that Baochai had made up her mind to go, Yinger and Xiaohong insisted on going, and they all said they wanted to accompany her. Finally, Baochai thought that Xiaohong was seeing Jia Yun. Xiaohong stayed at home, and she and Yinger went to the banquet in men's attire.

Previously, Baochai was at the request of Xue Pan to go to the shop outside to settle the accounts. She was careful to avoid taboos and often showed people in men's clothes. Freely, no one has seen through the mystery.

Unexpectedly, the place where the banquet was held was not in Jinxiangyuan, but a separate courtyard connected to Jinxiangyuan, and another path connected to the street, which was quiet and elegant. Seeing this, Baochai felt more at ease, entered the hall, and first met the elder Princess, Han Qi and others.

The eldest princess was used to her daughter's bright and charming appearance. When Zhi Baochai came in, she was startled. When she recognized the person, she didn't teach her to be flat. Man, Mr. Duxue is the most coquettish. If there really is such a beautiful gentleman in the world, even if I remarry, I would be willing."

What she said was subtle, and Baochai dared not agree with her, but just bowed her head in silence.Just as she was feeling anxious, she suddenly heard an announcement from outside: "The Prince of Beijing is here!" When Baochai took a closer look from the corner of his eyes, it was the Prince of Beijing, Shui Rong, who came in casual clothes.Water soluble red lips and white teeth, smiling all over the face, with a man beside him, it is none other than Jia Baoyu from Rongguo Mansion.Like others, Baochai was shocked when he saw this kind of scene for the first time, but he remained calm and did not say a word.

It turns out that the guest that His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess is going to entertain today is Prince Beijing Shui Rong.Baoyu is just a guest brought by the prince of Beijing, just in time for his meeting.It's just that seeing Shui Rong and Baoyu are quite close, which is really an eyesore, Baochai feels quite uncomfortable.

At first I didn't know the reason, but when I thought about it carefully, Fang recalled the scene when his elder brother Xue Pan got along with his group of Qidi brothers, and his heart couldn't help jumping, thinking that people like Baoyu would also be like slaves like Jin Rong Yan Meigu, did such a thing with Prince Beijing?Could it be that I was dazzled for a while and recognized the wrong person?But after a second look, Baoyu's description is correct.

Even though Prince Beijing has a good reputation and a good-looking talent, Baochai still can't stop feeling the pain in his heart.

Baoyu glanced at Baochai, but because it was the first time he saw Baochai in men's clothing, he didn't recognize him.Baoyu originally liked to make friends with beautiful men, but now serving the prince of Beijing, he is more restrained than before, but he still can't help but look at Baochai.

Wang Shuirong of Beijing saw Baochai's appearance and good appearance, he likes to recruit talented people, so he secretly paid attention to it, and when he turned his head to see Baoyu's expression, he felt displeased, and said with a smile: " Baoyu, do you know this gentleman?"

Only then did Baochai dare to be sure that this person was Baoyu, and she couldn't help feeling confused: Could she bear to see Daiyu marry such a person?Most of the sons and daughters of aristocratic families have concubines and child molesters outside. Baochai is quite used to this and tolerates it. However, like Baoyu, he clearly puts himself in the position of child molester, which makes people feel unspeakably weird .

At this moment, Baoyu suddenly heard Baoyu say with a smile: "Although I have never seen him, but I look at Mianshan, and I think I am an old acquaintance in my heart. Wouldn't it be more harmonious in the future?" As he spoke, he looked at King Jing with a smile.

Baochai knew that Baoyu was a dude, but he didn't expect him to have such a side in front of the King of Beijing. He couldn't keep silent any longer, so he hurriedly stepped forward to greet the King of Beijing again. At the end, he smiled and said to Baoyu, "Mr. Yihong, how can you not?" Recognize me? I am Mr. Heng Wu."

Whether it is Mr. Yihong or Mr. Hengwu, they are the nicknames they gave when they built the poetry club in the Grand View Garden in the previous life.Now that Baochai moved out early, and Concubine Yuan married early, Jia's mansion was busy with Baoyu's marriage every day, so naturally no one mentioned the matter of building a poetry club.However, when they were in Grand View Garden, Baoyu lived in Yihong Courtyard, and Baochai lived in Hengwu Courtyard. These two names are related to their residences.

Baoyu originally felt that Baochai was quite familiar, but now Baochai hinted at it, and looked at Baochai carefully, and unconsciously changed his color. "You...you are..." Pointing at Baochai, Ai Ai was speechless.

When King Beijing saw Baoyu's description, he clearly recognized Baochai's origin. He was curious and said with a smile, "So it turned out to be an old acquaintance. That's amazing."

Baoyu regained his composure, and whispered in Shui Rong's ear. Shui Rong showed surprise on his face, looked at Baochai twice more, and sighed, "It turned out to be the famous Mr. Xue in the capital! It's a pleasure to meet you." !"

Shui Rong has always spoken elegantly, although he was somewhat surprised that Miss Xue, the protagonist of the rumors in the capital, would come here in men's clothing, but in his capacity, he would not be able to make friends with a commoner woman who was expelled from the house.Originally, Baochai's appearance and talent were all the top choices, but she broke up with her natal family in order to marry a woman surnamed Feng. This kind of thing is too shocking and contrary to female morality. Being ridiculed by others is also the reason why Han Qi and others are becoming increasingly estranged from Baochai.Even if Shui Rong cherishes talent in his heart, such a woman whose behavior is similar to prostitution, no matter how beautiful and talented she is, she is not qualified to enter his backyard.Therefore, Shui Rong yelled in his heart that it was a pity, but he just exchanged a few words of pleasantries, and after they uncovered it, everyone continued to discuss the business of shipping.

This is still the case when Shui Rong meets Baochai for the first time, but the eldest princess, Han Qi and others have cooperated with Baochai several times, and naturally they regret and alienate her experience of her appearance and talent.So Baochai sat at the bottom silently, and saw that everyone was discussing in full swing, so she only said a few words at the key points, telling everyone the common methods in the business field, and kept silent about the rest.

However, Baoyu has always been not good at economics and official career, and listened to people discussing with each other, and became more and more bored.Although he has always loved and valued women, first Baochai had an ambiguous relationship with his future wife, Daiyu, and Daiyu stayed with Baochai for a while, and when he returned to the Grand View Garden, he became more and more ignorant of Baoyu, and secondly, Baochai would marry soon Although Feng Yuan and Baoyu greatly rewarded Hongfu and Lvzhu and other women, they had no feelings for Feng Yuan, and even became more subtle towards Baochai, faintly hostile.

When the discussion between the people came to an end, several popular prostitutes from Jinxiangyuan came forward to persuade them to drink. After Baoyu had a few glasses of wine, he suddenly felt cramped. When the order is good, Baoyu said: "In this case, how about I drink a sea first and issue a new order?"

Water Soluble knows that Baoyu's knowledge of economics is limited, but he has a lot of knowledge in the way of playing, which is the most elegant, so he smiled and said, "It depends on you." In terms of status, the eldest princess has made great contributions to the country and the people, and won the imperial court Appreciation, the status is higher than that of the king of Beijing, but the king of Beijing is a guest, not to mention that the eldest princess knows her own family affairs, and understands that without Sang Luo's advice, she will definitely not be as safe and wealthy as she is today, so it is inevitable that she will be in Beijing. In front of the king of the county, he was ashamed of himself and kept silent.The eldest princess is still like this, and the rest of Han Qi and others know that Jia Baoyu is one of the favorites of the King of Beijing, and they will not object, so they all laughed and said: "Extremely extreme!"

Baoyu glanced at Baochai intentionally or unintentionally, and said with a smile, "Since that's the case, I'll say it. There is only one thing. Anyone who doesn't obey will be punished ten times in a row. What do you think?"

After everyone nodded, Baoyu said: "In this case, we must say the four characters of sadness, sorrow, joy, and joy, but we must mention our daughter, and we must also indicate the reason for these four characters. After finishing speaking, drink the door cup "You need to sing a fresh and seasonal song on the wine surface, and there should be something fresh on the table at the bottom of the wine, or ancient poems, old pairs, how about the idioms in the Four Books and Five Classics?"

Baoyu used to make this order when he was drinking with his friends, Tong Baochai's elder brother Xue Pan also made it, but to King Jing of Beijing and Han Qi, it was undoubtedly a new order, and they heard it and applauded loudly.Baochai's complexion remains unchanged, but her heart is clear, knowing that Baoyu intends to target her.

In fact, when it comes to poetic talent, both Daiyu and Baochai are firmly above Baoyu.In the previous life, whenever there was a poetry club in the Grand View Garden, Baoyu never surpassed Baochai no matter how he composed poems and lyrics.The daughters of the boudoir gathered together that day, and they had made several new drinking orders, so no matter whether it was the daughter's sorrow or joy, or the ancient poems and old couplets at the banquet, Baochai could not be troubled. It was sung by people who often hang out and have fun outside.Has Baochai ever been to such an occasion?
