The Royal Merchant of the Red Chamber

Jinxiangyuan, the most popular gentle township in Shenjing, is not one of them.Most of the young men and women in it are descendants of officials who have committed crimes.Or there are also Qing Guaner who have been tuned and taught for many years.Together with Yangzhou Shouma, it is called the double beauty of the world.Yun'er is an outstanding player in Jinxiangyuan, one can imagine that his piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are not vulgar.

And when Xue Pan saw this Yun'er with his own eyes, his eyes lit up even more.

On Yun'er's head was combed a current most popular Liuyun bun, with a flower-blossoming golden step inserted obliquely, and bright tassels hung down on Bai Nen's shoulders, drawing around the collarbone from time to time, with a kind of carelessness lure.The upper body is surrounded by a bright red peony embroidered chest wrap, and the lower body is a silk skirt of the same color, covered with a thin layer of gauze, which makes the skin more like snow and looks pretty.Holding a pipa in her arms, her ten fingers are slender and painted with red Danko, which rests on the strings very naturally.

Seeing the people entering the private room, Yun'er stood up, bowed slightly and smiled, "Yun'er has seen you all."

When she smiled, Xue Pan was surprised again.But it turned out that when Xue Pan saw her dressed like this, he thought her behavior was charming and delicate, but he didn't expect that when he spoke, there was an indescribable openness, and his expression was elegant, fresh and pleasant, as if he was a well-educated master. She is like a lady, quite different from her current attire.This extremely contrasting demeanor gave her an indescribable charm.

Everyone is an old hand who lingers in the flowers, so they are naturally familiar with Yun'er, the oiran of Jinxiangyuan.Although Jia Baoyu had never been released outside, he often came out to play with others.Therefore, among the crowd, only Xue Pan was unfamiliar.So Yun'er easily guessed Xue Pan's identity.He licked the corners of his mouth at Xue Pan in a friendly manner, fresh and natural, neither humble nor overbearing.

Sure enough, Liu Xianglian also introduced with a smile: "We are all acquaintances, so I don't need to introduce more. It's just that you have to meet this old man of the Xue family."

Upon hearing that, Yun'er's eyes lit up.Knowing that what he asked for probably had a clue, he immediately bowed to Xue Pan and said, "I have met the master of the Xue family."

However, she has been around for so many years, so naturally she will not act like Liu Xianglian said, and after paying respects to everyone, she said with a smile: "My family has heard of Uncle Xue's name for a long time, I saw you today. It really lives up to its reputation."

Xue Pan smiled and said, "We just met, and we haven't even said a word, how can we see that the reputation is well-deserved?"

Yun'er smiled disapprovingly and said: "Yun'er has been in the world for so many years, although I dare not say that I have seen all kinds of people, but it can be regarded as seeing countless people. The young master's demeanor and behavior are different from ordinary people, this Yun'er can still see from."

Everyone likes to hear good things, and Xue Pan is no exception, and his sense of Yun'er has improved by two points.While talking, there was a knock on the door, and an extremely handsome young man walked in with a smile on his face.

Liu Xianglian quickly got up and smiled, "Qiguaner, why did you come here?"

It turned out that it was Jiang Yuhan who came in.I saw him cupping his hands, and said with a soft smile: "I was called by the prince to ask a few words just now, and it was delayed for some time, please don't be offended."

As he spoke, he picked up a full wine glass from the table and drank it all in one gulp, then poured two more glasses of wine and drank it dry, then said: "I'm late, Qi Guan'er punishes herself with three glasses."

There is an indescribable tenderness and charm in her actions and demeanor.

Naturally, everyone didn't take it seriously.After meeting each other, Qi Guan'er sat down under Liu Xianglian.He was meeting Xue Pan face to face.He pursed his lips and smiled at Xue Pan a little shyly, the look of his brows and eyes made Xue Pan feel familiar in a trance.

Jia Baoyu, who was at the side, looked at Xue Pan in a daze, and quickly stretched out his arm to poke him, and asked softly, "What are you thinking?"

Xue Pan came back to his senses, suppressed the suspicion in his heart, and said with a smile: "It's nothing."

After a pause, he said to Yun'er: "It's not interesting to just drink and eat food. You can sing that familiar song with us."

Yun'er responded with a light smile, lowered her eyes to think for a moment, picked up the pipa, and sang: "Two enemies, it's hard to let go, thinking of you coming and thinking of him..."

While singing, his eyebrows are tender.His demeanor is sometimes innocent and innocent, and sometimes sad and resentful, with a pair of brows and eyes lingering on everyone, hesitant to speak.Everyone's heart was moved by that delicate and gentle demeanor.Singing to the point of deep love and entanglement, the eyes are rolling, the red cheeks are light and thin, the charm is natural, and it really has three parts of Nie Xiaoqian's demeanor.

At the end of the song, everyone clapped their hands and praised: "The lingering sound lingers around the beam."

There was also a hint of appreciation in Xue Pan's eyes.Yun'er's voice was originally clear and melodious, although the song Xue Pan sang felt unpleasant, but this did not prevent Xue Pan from enjoying Yun'er's voice.Especially with this attitude, Xue Pan felt even more happy.

On the other side, Yun'er stopped her voice, and when she lowered her head, she secretly glanced at Xue Pan out of the corner of her eyes, just in time to see the satisfaction in his eyes, and her heart was slightly relieved.

She also heard from Liu Xianglian before that Xue Pan was very dissatisfied with the shyness of those palace actors.In addition to her openness, her singing skills may not be better than those of the palace opera singers.Therefore, she had no choice but to work hard in her bold words.

Ever since she mentioned this to Liu Xianglian, Yun'er practiced a lot of such obscene songs in private.She was a bit awkward at first, but she also looked at herself in the mirror every day, and it took a long time to develop such a natural coquettish attitude.Now seeing Xue Pan's expression, he suddenly felt that his hard work was not in vain.

It's just that there is a Qi Guan'er who is stronger than her in both status and skill, so she can't take it lightly.He just smiled at Xue Pan and sat quietly beside him, acting gentle and virtuous.Suddenly, after drinking two glasses of wine, his cheeks were blush, his eyes were moist, but his expression turned slightly cold.The erratic and quiet appearance of holding the pipa in his arms and his cold and resentful appearance made everyone feel refreshed again.

All the people present are used to the romantic theater, and they are naturally familiar with the current chaotic "A Chinese Ghost Story", seeing Yun'er's current behavior, they couldn't help but secretly nodded.They looked at each other, but smiled silently.

After drinking a glass of wine, Jiang Yuhan tugged on Liu Xianglian's sleeve in embarrassment. Liu Xianglian knew it well, and said with a smile: "As Pan'er said just now, it's not interesting for us to just drink and eat like this. ... Why don't you all enforce a drinking order together!"

Xue Pan frowned and said, "What kind of wine order do you want, don't make something I don't know how to do."

Jia Baoyu pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "Since that's the case, let's make it simpler. Now, if we want to say the four characters of sadness, sorrow, joy, and joy, we must mention our daughter, and we must also indicate the reason for these four characters. After finishing speaking, drink a full cup. The wine should be sung with a fresh and modern tune; the bottom of the wine should be something like wind on the table, or ancient poems and old pairs of Four Books and Five Classics idioms." Xue Pan felt a headache when he heard it, and quickly waved his hands to beg for forgiveness: "What? The drinking order is so troublesome, and the four books and five classics have been published. If you are so active at home, you won't be picked on by your father every day."

Jia Baoyu smiled indifferently, and glanced at Jiang Yuhan.He said calmly: "That's it, it's actually very simple. I'll show you an example, and you'll understand."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Xue Pan to object again, he immediately said: "Daughter is sad, youth has been left alone. Daughter regrets teaching husband and son-in-law to find a prince. Daughter is happy, the makeup is beautiful in the morning mirror. Daughter is happy, put on the swing Spring shirts are thin."

Xue Pan felt very familiar.After thinking about it for a while, I vaguely remembered that there was such a bridge in "Dream of Red Mansions".It's just that I have always been impatient with these poems and songs, and I didn't take it to heart.If I knew that there would be such a day, I would have to memorize it even if I memorized it by rote!

It's a pity that there is no regret medicine to buy in the world. Everyone clapped their hands and applauded. Watching Baoyu drink a glass of wine, he sang again: "I can't stop dripping blood and tears of lovesickness and throwing red beans, and the spring willows and spring flowers can never stop blooming..."

Aside from Yun'er's clever pipa accompaniment.After listening to it for a while, Xue Pan really felt that Yun'er's skill was proficient, and the sound of the piano was sad and lingering, which was very emotional.This is no longer something an ordinary luthier can do.Thinking of this, Xue Pan couldn't help but glance at Yun'er in surprise.I think this is really a great talent.It's a pity that he was born at an untimely time. If he could be born in modern times, he would be a celebrity sought after by everyone, and he wouldn't be despised and despised like he is now.

After Jia Baoyu sang, he drank another glass of wine, picked up a piece of pear, and said, "The rain hits the pear blossoms and closes the door."

After Baoyu passed the order, it was followed by Feng Ziying, Yun'er, and Liu Xianglian. When they arrived at Jiang Yuhan, everyone couldn't help but calm down and looked at him quietly.After all, he is the other protagonist of this banquet, and now that Yun'er has already shown it, he is the only one left, so he is naturally the focus of everyone's attention.

This room Jiang Yuhan took a deep breath calmly, he had seen Yun'er's playing and singing just now, and felt that this long-renowned oiran really lived up to her reputation.I have to work harder, so I laughed softly at the moment: "My daughter is sad, her husband will never return. My daughter is sad, and I have no money to buy sweet-scented osmanthus oil. My daughter is happy, the lantern flowers are tied with twin pistils. My daughter is happy, the husband sings and the wife follows the truth."

After finishing speaking, she sang again: "I am glad that you are born with a charming personality, just like a living fairy leaving Bixiao..."

Her demeanor is soft, her singing voice is melodious, and there is an indescribable charm.If Yun'er's demeanor is what the world thinks of Nie Xiaoqian, then Jiang Yuhan's unique, refreshing and sad manner makes everyone think that Nie Xiaoqian should be like this.Sure enough, he is worthy of being the famous Qiguan'er for a long time.When the song ended, everyone applauded again and again.

Although the purpose of today's banquet was not clearly stated, everyone knew it well.After the actions of the two of them, everyone felt that the trip was worthwhile.

It's just that these two people have their own advantages, and it's hard for Xue Pan to choose.

While pondering, I heard Jia Baoyu say with a smile: "Don't be dazed! Now that everyone has sung it, you are the only one left. Don't try to fool around."

Xue Pan quickly waved his hand to evade, "I can't, I can't."

"It's okay if you can't." Jia Baoyu said, taking out a sealed jar of wine from under the table and said, "This is 20-year-old daughter red. If you can't tell, you have to drink the whole jar."

Those who are familiar with Xue Pan know that Xue Pan is not good at drinking, and he is very restrained in front of outsiders and cannot drink.Jia Baoyu is no exception.Immediately said with a smirk: "I heard that you took off your clothes after you got drunk last time, and you were going to run naked on everyone. Although it is early spring, the weather is cold after all. You have to be careful!"

What he said made everyone stare at him.

Xue Pan stared at him, and reprimanded: "Isn't it just a drinking order, what do you say if you have something or nothing. Do you really think I can't tell?"

Everyone hurriedly booed: "Say it quickly, say it quickly."

Xue Pan scratched his hair in confusion. Although he was not good at diction, he had graduated from university before time-traveling. After time-traveling, he was accepted as a student by Zhuang You. Naturally, he would not be as unbearable as Xue Pan in the original book.Immediately pursed his lips, frowning in thought.Muttered in his mouth: "My daughter is sad—"

After talking for a long time, I didn't say the following.Feng Ziying couldn't help asking: "What's sad? Tell me quickly."

Xue Pan glared at him, and said, "What's the hurry, you think I'm Cao Zijian who can compose a poem in seven steps!"

After a pause, he said, "Daughter is sad, Prime Minister Bai is leaving Yan to fly alone."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and said in surprise: "It's okay!"

He urged again: "What about the ones below?"

Xue Pan said again: "Daughter is sad, leaning on the sloping railing alone in the makeup building. Daughter is happy, the flowers are blooming and stalks are tied—"

Jia Baoyu was the first to laugh and said, "This sentence really rhymes."

Xue Pan smiled complacently, and said, "Of course, I am also a cultural person, young master."

Everyone couldn't laugh or cry when they heard it, they shook their heads and said, "Hurry up, you are the slowest."

Only then did Xue Pan chuckle, and said slowly, "Daughter Le, raise your eyebrows and make peace with each other."

Everyone clapped their hands and laughed, and Jia Baoyu said amusedly, "I never thought that big brother, who usually speaks vulgarly, can say such a literary and elegant drinking order. It really is a person who can't be judged by his appearance!"

Xue Pan happily boasted: "Boy, remember, the sea should not be spoiled. Your brother and I are called real people."

The crowd had no choice but to feel that Xue Pan's thick skin was too thick to fathom, so they could only urge him loudly: "Hurry up and sing the song, hurry up and sing the song."

Poetry is not difficult for Xue Pan, and singing is naturally even more difficult.Immediately, Xue Pan poured two glasses of wine, and the alcohol came up.He also got emotional.

Going to the stage, she pinched a plum blossom and stuck it on her head, and then grabbed the silk handkerchief in Yun'er's hand, twisting and singing: "Send you to the outside of the small village, I have something to say, even though it is now Hundreds of flowers are blooming, don't pick the wild flowers on the roadside..."

The lyrics are straightforward and the tune is catchy.There is an indescribable happiness in the rustic charm, as if I really saw a newly married couple standing at the entrance of the village saying goodbye.Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard it, and they couldn't help clapping their hands to the beat.Yun'er also couldn't help but play in harmony.

When Xue Pan sang Xing Nong, he pulled his neck and shouted: "Remember my love, remember my love, remember that I am waiting every day..."

The singing came through the thin wainscoting and open windows, and everyone looked at each other.

In the private room upstairs, a young man with gentle demeanor and elegant words stiffened slightly when he heard the singing, and looked at his expressionless companion opposite him with an unnatural expression.Then he looked back at the feminine young man who couldn't help but smile crookedly on him, and reached out his hand to cover the corner of his mouth that could not restrain his upturning with the wine glass.

In the private room, Xue Pan, who didn't know it, became very interested, and under the encouragement of everyone, he took off his shoes and stood on the beauty couch beside him, letting go of his voice and shouting: "I'm waiting for you to come back, please don't worry!" Don't forget me. I'm waiting for you to come back, don't forget me...don't—"

The door of the room was kicked open with a bang, Xue Pan twisted his body and turned his head, just in time to meet a pair of exceptionally clear eyes that had been stained with thin anger.

The singing stopped abruptly.Xue Pan blinked, looked at the three people outside the door, then looked down at himself, then turned to look at Jia Baoyu and others who were also stunned, feeling a headache.
