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

Not to mention Feng Ziying and others arguing with Han Qi about the political situation, but Liu Xianglian walked all the way into the north gate, annoyed, and secretly said: They are all princes and grandsons, and my family has long lost power. Yes, naturally different.I can't blame them for looking down on me and treating me like a thug.How many sons and buddies like the Second Master Bao of Rongguo Mansion are there in the world.It's just that today's affairs should not be so easily involved.

As he thought about it, there was a look of annoyance on his face.Another thought: If my family is still the same as it was a few years ago, how dare they treat me like this?Unconsciously feeling depressed, wanting to find someone to conspire with to get drunk, because a few good friends who are familiar with each other have gone to the Qin family to send the funeral, I am afraid that they have not turned around at this time, and they will not be able to find someone for a while.While hesitating, someone suddenly stopped the horse and shouted: "Isn't this Liu Erye? It's been a long time since I saw him, and Er Ye has become even more handsome!"

When Liu Xianglian hurriedly reined in her horse and looked closely, she felt familiar, but she couldn't remember the name of the person for a moment.After thinking for a while, Fang recalled.It turned out that the man's surname was Su, and he was a rather respectable shopkeeper in Beijing, and he had met Liu Xianglian a few times, but then he disappeared suddenly for unknown reasons.

Liu Xianglian saw shopkeeper Su's smiling face, as the saying goes, you don't hit a smiling face with your hand, so he had no choice but to get off his horse and salute, and said with a smile: "Isn't this shopkeeper Su? It's been a long time since I disappeared. The family is so good, where do you always get rich?"

Shopkeeper Su smiled more and more, his face was full of wrinkles, and he said: "It's a long story, if the second master rewards you, why don't you let Xiao Ke be the host, and have some wine and food, and chat while eating?"

Liu Xianglian just asked casually, not expecting shopkeeper Su to have the intention of chatting.Liu Xianglian didn't want to have a deep friendship with shopkeeper Su, but at the time when she was depressed and had nowhere to express, she agreed.What a prosperous place Beijing is, there are many wine shops, needless to say, the two immediately found a place, went upstairs, and found an elegant table to sit down.

Shopkeeper Su is a veteran in the business field, and he is good at observing words and demeanor, but in a few words, he guessed that Liu Xianglian must have been looked down upon by Prince Wang and grandson. Although he didn't know much about the important details, it did not affect the overall situation.Shopkeeper Su knew that Liu Xianglian was good at wielding knives and clubs since he was a child, and now that he was frustrated, he had to do his best to compliment and make friends with him. With shopkeeper Su complimenting him from the side, he felt elated and satisfied, but he forgot the previous frustration.

In a few moments, two more people entered the house, shopkeeper Su hurriedly introduced them, saying that they were his own brothers.Liu Xianglian is bold by nature, she loves to be friends with others, and when the wine is hot, she doesn't care too much at the moment, exchanges names and gossips with them.Shopkeeper Su pointed to one of the people surnamed Liu and said: "The world is getting more and more difficult now. Just say me, brother Liu, who also worked with me in the Xue family of the imperial merchant before. He passed away a few years ago, and his new owner was a dandy, blindly doing nonsense. Brother Liu was forced to run away with his family, but he is still wanted by the government. Second Master Liu was born as a son of everyone, so it is difficult to understand my brother Liu Difficulties." Even though he said this, he had already decided in his heart that Liu Xianglian had always been loyal, and the more he said that he was wanted by the government, the more he believed Liu Xianglian. Even if he was annoyed for a while, he would not easily turn his face.

Sure enough, Liu Xianglian was even more moved when she heard this, and she thought to herself: since they told themselves such confidential things as being wanted by the government, they must trust themselves very much, and they must keep the secrets, and they must not let the wind leak out.As he thought about it, there was some kind of meaning on his face.

Both Shopkeeper Su and Shopkeeper Liu are businessmen with many years of experience. They are the ones who know how to read words and strike while the iron is hot. He is very good at martial arts, because he heard Liu Xianglian's name, he admired him very much, it would be even better if he could stay together all the time and prove his kung fu.

Liu Xianglian was moved by hearing this, and hurriedly asked where his brother is now.At this time, shopkeeper Su hesitated and replied that he was not in the capital, and now they are mostly settled in Ping'an Prefecture.Liu Xianglian was originally a well-known hero and loved making friends the most. Although it took half a month to go back and forth from Ping'an Prefecture to the capital, in Liu Xianglian's eyes, it was nothing.When I was about to agree to go to a gathering, I suddenly thought of something, and my heart thumped, and said with a smile: "You know me, and you are most erratic on weekdays. If you agree with my temper, you can go to Ping'an Prefecture It doesn't matter if I go there once or twice. But there is one thing I need to ask a few people first: I heard that Ping'an Prefecture is not very peaceful, and there are many grass bandits on the mountain. I said I believed in the White Lotus Sect, and said What Tianli religion is, it has nothing to do with a few of you."

Shopkeeper Liu hurriedly glanced at Shopkeeper Su upon hearing the words, with somewhat timid eyes.

It turned out that Tianli Sect, a branch of the White Lotus Sect, was prevalent at that time, and the whole family of shopkeeper Su believed in the teachings of Tianli Sect.At first, he saw that Xishan Zhishui was promising and could be used as a siege weapon, so he had bad intentions and bullied Xue Pan, a dude and ignorant man. Take advantage of it with the congregation and get some benefits.Unexpectedly, his luck was not good, and Baochai saw through the trick. Fearing that the church would be wiped out by the government, he fled in a panic all night, and fell grass on a nearby mountain.Not long after that, I found out that shopkeeper Liu of the silk and satin shop was also at odds with the Xue family, and was oppressed by the owner, so he encouraged Liu's shopkeeper and his family to make money with his three-inch tongue.

That Ping'an Prefecture is the headquarter of Tianli Sect in the north, and the headmaster of the town is unknown, but he is the first one who likes to recruit talents.Shopkeeper Su and Shopkeeper Liu planned to introduce one or two of their usual acquaintances in order to make meritorious service, and bring them into the church together to participate in the grand event.This day, they took a fancy to Liu Xianglian. Firstly, she is highly skilled in martial arts, and she is also a good-looking person. Second, she is a down-and-out son of an aristocratic family, showing her status. Third, she has a sharp personality and does not care about trivial matters. She is somewhat like their fellow-men. .Together, the two of them were going to lobby. They watched Liu Xianglian coldly for several days before they saw the opportunity of Qin's funeral. Taking advantage of Liu Xianglian's disappointment, they brought him over for a drink, and planned to lure him to Ping'an Prefecture first. , and then use another method to trap him, lobbying every day, using both soft and hard, not afraid that this matter will fail.

Unexpectedly, the matter had just started to such an extent, and Liu Xianglian immediately pointed it out.Shopkeeper Su and Shopkeeper Liu looked at me and I looked at you. Although they didn't look depressed, they were already very embarrassed.

Seeing their expressions, Liu Xianglian knew that what she expected was right, she sighed lightly, stood up and clasped her fists to the people in the banquet, and said, "Don't blame me, you must keep your ugly words in your head. Liu has always admired a few people." He is a man of character, loyal, and always has the meaning of being close. But everything has its own importance. Mr. Liu has been taught by the court since he was a child, and the word loyalty and filial piety is absolutely inviolable. The way is different, and we will not seek each other, so let’s say goodbye Don't worry, everyone here knows what I said today." After finishing speaking, before waiting for a response, he lifted his robe, opened the door and went out.

Several people in the private seat looked at each other in blank dismay.At the end, shopkeeper Su said with a smile: "Don't panic, brothers. It's irrelevant. I know that Liu Erye is definitely not a person who likes to chew his tongue. Come on, don't disappoint this table of good food." Several people couldn't bear to ruin it. For the food, I finished the table of delicacies with trepidation, and when it was time to pay the bill, the waiter said: "That Master Liu has already paid the bill." The shopkeeper Su beamed with joy, and said to everyone: "Look, what I said is indeed true. Shopkeeper Liu also smiled: "Since he is willing to do this, he has finally formed a good relationship. In the future, he must be rescued, so as to live up to his affection."

But when Xue Pan saw Liu Xianglian leave the forest, he hurriedly bid farewell to Feng Ziying and everyone chased after him, but how could he catch up?He ran back to the city, saying that he would meet them along the way, but Liu Xianglian was dragged away by shopkeeper Su and others to have a drink.Xue Pan walked back and forth in the city for two times, but he disappeared without a trace. Feeling lost, he accidentally stood at the gate of Jinxiangyuan, in a daze, when his mother, Guinu, and others came out with smiles on his face. .Naturally, Xue Pan couldn't understand what he meant, drank a few cups, cuddled up against the red and leaning on the green, touched a few handfuls of the soft and fragrant jade, his bones were crisp, how can he remember other things, he stayed in Jinxiangyuan that night , Sleeping with two prostitutes who know how to flatter, the scene is boundless.

In the Pear Fragrance Courtyard of Rongguo Mansion, Aunt Xue looked forward to the stars and the moon, hoping that her precious son would not return home, knowing that he must be fooling around outside again, she let out a long sigh and had to go to sleep.Baochai still lit a lamp in the room, put a set of Go on the table, and played the score by the lamp, but it was also considered as reviewing the homework for the palace.

Just as he was concentrating on it, he suddenly heard that Jinsuo made another strange sound, the voice said disdainfully: "The piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are originally for cultivating sentiments, but you have lost your fundamentals and your desire for profit has swayed your heart."

Baochai argued with a smile: "This is strange. Well-known chess players in ancient times also retreated and played scores before the big battle, and devoted themselves to pure cultivation. If you ask you to say that, are they also greedy for profit? You must know that the way of playing chess is both To win or lose, you have to go all out.”

The voice said: "You are working hard at this time, but for the sake of the palace selection. Now I will show you a clear way. You should take out the piano and practice a few more times."

It was rare for Baochai to hear such earnest advice from it, and she was somewhat flattered, and asked, "What do you mean?"

The voice said: "That's right, today I like listening to the qin the most, and those who are good at the qin in the palace are the most respected. If you perform this performance on the day of the palace election, I don't need to say more about the benefits."

Baochai thought about it carefully, after all, that chess is something that needs to be matched. It is indeed not as cheap as playing the piano. Everyone can understand it, and it is much easier than calligraphy and painting. I thank it for its kindness, but the voice sighed faintly. He said again: "If you really entered the palace, what should Xiangling do? You should go and see what Mr. Yao's background is."
