The Heart of the Red Chamber

If Wang Ren knew that Wang Ziteng was disheartened by the previous incident and had almost lost any friendship with the Jia family, he would probably want to applaud him, but he didn't know it at the moment.

Summer passed in a flash, and just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Feng Ziying sent someone to post a message to invite a group of friends to have a good get-together. Wang Ren asked Chen Jingrong for leave and went straight away.

Feng Ziying had finally got rid of the Imperial College now, and his father Feng Tang found him a vacancy in the Wucheng Military Division. Although he was a school lieutenant, he was still an officer.Although it was a little worse than Shi Guangzhu who was sent to Luan Yiwei by Duke Shan, it was still much better than Wei Ruolan who was still depressed in the Imperial College.

Wei Ruolan is good at reciting poems, composing poems, writing lyrics and composing music, but the stereotyped essays are always dry, and people don't respond to them except shaking their heads after reading them. Of course, the Wei family doesn't Wei Ruolan needs to pass the imperial examination to advance. Wei Ruolan's grandmother is Princess Qinghe, and she is also a relative of the emperor. As the eldest grandson, she can naturally inherit the title in the future.Princess Qinghe loves Wei Ruolan very much. Seeing that Wei Ruolan really has no talent in stereotypes, when Wei Ruolan's father Wei Zhou was annoyed, she directly said that Wei Ruolan should stay in the Imperial College for a few years first. , when the time comes, Princess Qinghe will naturally ask Wei Ruolan for a future, so Wei Zhou has nothing to say.

The meeting place was in Zhuangzi outside Feng's city, it didn't look very eye-catching from the outside, but it was just green bricks and tiles, a row of poplar trees in front of the door, and there were even some autumn cicadas neighing at the moment.

Wang Ren brought the inkstone and cutting paper to the gate of Zhuangzi, and just jumped off the horse, a porter immediately came up to him courteously: "It's Mr. Wang who has come. My uncle has been waiting for a long time!" Ma rein, Wang Ren smiled: "You know me?"

"Uncle Wang is my uncle's best friend, so there's no reason why a villain doesn't know him!" The porter said with a smile.

"That's a clever one!" Wang Ren directly took out a few silver locks from his purse, "Your reward!"

"Thank you, Mr. Wang, for the reward!" The porter happily saluted Wang Ren again, and then led Wang Ren's horse to the stable.

Seeing Wang Ren's generous rewards, a servant trotted over first: "Uncle Wang, the villain will lead you the way!"

Wang Ren walked into Zhuangzi with the boy who led the way, and the inkstone holder and the paper cutter followed immediately.

After entering the Zhuangzi, Wang Ren discovered that there is a lot of space in the Zhuangzi. The people who took care of it obviously put a lot of effort into tidying it up very elegantly. It happened to be the time when the chrysanthemums were in full bloom. , there are many famous products such as ink lotus, silver tripod and green peony.

Wang Ren was watching all the way, and Feng Ziying had already come out to greet him, and said with a smile: "I was talking about you with Ruolan just now, and you came here as expected, but I really said Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here!"

"What are you telling Ruolan about me? You're not talking bad about me, are you?" Wang Ren also laughed, "Aside from Ruolan, who else is here?"

"There's also Chen Yejun, who went somewhere before and just came back, so Ruolan dragged him here!" Feng Ziying said with a smile.Chen Yejun's grandmother is also a princess, but unlike Princess Qinghe, Princess Dachang is the younger sister of the Supreme Emperor, so she is naturally very respectable, while the biological mother of Princess Ninghua, Chen Yejun's grandmother, is not very favored. Although Yejun's family has been an official for many generations, their positions are not considered high. They usually hover around the third rank, barely entering the threshold of high officials, but they have never been promoted. It is unaffected by the wind and rain.

Wang Ren didn't have a deep impression of Chen Yejun, but he met Feng Ziying twice when he was not in the Imperial College, and after a few years, he almost didn't even know what he looked like.Sometimes Wang Ren had to admire Feng Ziying. Although this guy was young, he was a son of nobles in Chang'an. Not to mention whether he had any friendships, but there were few people he didn't know.

Feng Ziying pulled Wang Ren directly into the garden of the party. Wei Ruolan was sitting in the octagonal pavilion talking with a rather slender, handsome young man with dark complexion. Seeing Feng Ziying and Wang Ren coming in, Wei Ruolan stood up first. Get up, walk over, and said with a smile: "Ah Ren is counted, this is Yejun, you have seen it before, but it is really different from a few years ago, I saw you when I came back, my cousin I dare not admit it!"

Chen Yejun snorted lightly: "But he's older than me, he's still a cousin!"

"A quarter of an hour is too old!" Wei Ruolan said with a smile, "Okay, this is Wang Ren!"

Chen Yejun took a look at Wang Ren, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few years, and Ah Ren is very different from before. I remember that Ah Ren used to look like a chubby man, but now he's swollen!"

Wang Ren also snorted: "What a chubby look, how old was I at that time, when you were my age, you might be more chubby than me!"

Several people burst out laughing, Wei Ruolan almost couldn't breathe from laughing, now she supported her waist, and said intermittently: "Ah...Aren, you, you are so wrong, he is so handsome, he, he It just looks like a thin bamboo pole, no matter how you eat it, it won't grow any flesh!"

Wang Ren was a little depressed at once, and Chen Yejun laughed and said, "I can't speak, Ah Ren, let me give you a salute first!" After speaking, he really bent down and saluted Wang Ren solemnly.

Everyone said so, so naturally Wang Ren couldn't be too fussy, so he also bowed back: "My little brother was wrong before, and I'm going to give Brother Chen an apology here!"

"Okay, why is Brother Chen not Brother Chen? It's too much!" Chen Yejun looked straightforward, waved his hand and said, "Just call me Jun, that's what everyone else calls me!" Then, he said glibly: "How about, Ah Ren, if you call me Brother Jun, I won't object!"

Wang Ren was almost defeated by this guy, Wei Ruolan regained his composure, and hurriedly said, "Yejun, you are talking nonsense again!"

Chen Yejun smiled awkwardly, and looked at Wang Ren with some embarrassment, Wang Ren lost his temper.

While they were talking and joking, a servant came over and reported that Master Liu was here. Feng Ziying hurried out to greet her, and soon led Liu Xianglian over.

Feng Ziying introduced Liu Xianglian and Chen Yejun to each other, and ordered the servants to prepare for the banquet.

Wang Ren was taken aback, and quickly asked, "Didn't you say you invited Brother Shi? Why didn't you wait for him?"

Feng Ziying waved his hand: "Don't mention it, didn't that kid join the Luanyi Guard? He happened to be on duty these two days, and he had found someone to take over for him, but the person he found had a bad stomach and was at home. Vomiting and diarrhea, when encountering such a thing, how can I escape, I should still be in the palace right now!"

This luck is beyond words, and I don't know if Shi Guangzhu was unlucky or the one who was on duty was unlucky to catch up with this kind of thing.

It happened to be the time to eat crabs, so a crab banquet was set up in the garden. In addition, Feng Ziying also invited a troupe to set up a stage on one side. The preparations are ready now, and when a few people enter During the banquet, the troupe's troupe owner trotted over to invite them to order a few plays.

Feng Ziying and the others have always been very interested in listening to operas, and these few were even willing to dress up as dan roles and sing on stage by themselves. They didn't even look at the list, and just clicked on it. Feng Ziying clicked "The Drunken Concubine", and Wei Ruo Lan clicked "Garden Tour", Chen Yejun clicked "Havoc in Heaven", and was teased by several people, Liu Xianglian thought for a while, and directly clicked "Farewell at the Changting Pavilion", and it was his turn Wang Ren.

What is popular at the moment is not the Beijing opera of later generations, but something similar to Kunqu opera. However, Wang Ren, who is used to the popular songs of later generations, is not very interested in opera, so it is better to let them play a few tunes quietly.Wang Ren took the order and thought about it for a long time before ordering "Resurrection". It's better to avoid martial arts dramas such as havoc in the Heavenly Palace.

On the stage, that Concubine Yang was Yiyi, Feng Ziying, Wei Ruolan, and the others soon became intoxicated, beating the beat and humming along.Wang Ren was a little depressed, so he didn't need eight pieces of crabs at all, and directly opened the crab shells with his hands, took out the red crab paste inside, and ate slowly.

Of course, Wang Ren is not the only one who finds it boring. Apart from his slightly darker skin, Chen Yejun actually looks like a suave and suave character. I guess he was one of them, but right now he also looked like he was not interested in the stage, and he was cracking open the crab claws to pick the meat inside.However, he was very sensitive. Seeing Wang Ren looking over, he raised his head and smiled at Wang Ren.

Wang Ren smiled back, took another big crab and broke it open, dug out the crab paste and put it into his mouth. Wang Ren likes to eat crab paste, but most people don't know much about it. They only think that he is used to eating crab paste first, and then Crab legs, many people have this habit.But at home, when eating crabs at home, Mrs. Sun would often pick out a plate of crab paste and leave it for Wang Ren. Wang Ren is not picky, and he is not usually picky about food. What's your opinion, anyway, crabs are not a rare item. Every day in autumn, there are a lot of crabs sent to Zhuangzi.

When Wang Ren was about to take the third crab, a crab body with its claws and legs removed was brought to him. The red crab paste was facing Wang Ren's eyes. Chen Yejun didn't know when he sat next to him, and said in his ear: "You like to eat crab paste, I like to eat crab meat, isn't it just right?" He winked at Wang Ren while talking.

Wang Ren was taken aback, when did he become so close to him, sharing a crab, it was almost like eating from the same bowl, before he thought of what to say, the crab body full of crab paste had already been stuffed into his hand In the movie, Chen Yejun said carelessly: "Why are you angry? Although we didn't grow up together, we're not far behind. What's so special about it!"
