General of the Red Chamber

Chapter 9 Night Party

From the half-person-high purple-gold phoenix-patterned incense burner in the middle of the sleeping hall, slender and slender smoke slowly came out.On the red sandalwood couch in front of the window, the emperor in bright yellow uniform was reclining on his side, with his red phoenix eyes closed, as if he was taking a nap.In the silent Xiangfeng Palace, the palace people held their breaths and only heard the slight breathing of the emperor at this moment.

The queen, dressed in a bright red phoenix-pattern uniform, with her black hair lightly pulled back, stepped in. She looked at the sleeping emperor with bright eyes, her red lips were slightly drawn, and her plain hands were slightly raised.The palace people on the side then filed out lightly.

The queen moved lightly with lotus steps, walked to the palace lantern, picked up the lamp stick next to it, picked out the wick, and the light in the hall dimmed.Just as he was about to turn around, he heard a slightly drunken voice, "I'm late today."

A gentle smile appeared on the queen's dignified and quiet face, she turned around and walked to the soft couch. "The empress mother is quite in a good mood today, so she talked with her for a while longer."

The emperor sat up straight, pulled the queen to sit beside him, "I have something to tell you"

The queen waited gently.

"I remember that there is a female official in your palace, who is from the Jia family in Rongguo Mansion." The emperor's thin lips parted slightly, as if he was not paying attention.

The queen smiled slightly, "There is such a person, the current court lady history," the voice paused, and then said, "Now I am 27 years old."

"En," slowly turning the mutton fat jade ring on the thumb, "this woman is virtuous, filial and talented, so I will be named ````Fengzao Palace Shangshu, and a virtuous concubine, empress, I will leave this matter to you "After speaking, he squinted his eyes again and leaned against the soft pillow on the couch.

"Concubine, lead the decree." The queen's bare hands tightened tightly, and finally let go slowly, with the most dignified smile on her face.

General Zhenwei's Mansion

In the dimly lit study room, Qin Fan had already replaced his black iron armor, and was only wearing a green robe.Her hair was tied up with a single black ribbon, and she was holding a picture scroll. Her deep eyes looked at it carefully, and there seemed to be tenderness overflowing.Thin lips curled up, showing teeth occasionally.

"Master, Qin Yuan has arrived," Lu Yin said outside the door.

"Well, let him in." With a smile, he carefully rolled up Danqing and put it in the box at hand.

"My subordinate, Qin Yuan, has seen the master." Qin Yuan bowed his body slightly, with an extremely respectful attitude.

"Well, get up," Qin Fan tapped the table slowly with his slender fingers, and there was a sound of 'bang bang bang', and he paused, "What's wrong with her?"

Qin Yuan saw that his master seemed different from usual today, and he spoke in a hesitant tone. When he heard this question, he guessed one or two, and couldn't help feeling that "a hero is sad about a beautiful woman".

Standing up, she bowed her eyebrows and said softly, "Miss Lin has fainted several times since Mrs. Lin passed away. Fortunately, she was taken care of by Dr. Xue's prescription, and she will recover when she returns to Beijing."

Looking up carefully at his master's face, seeing Qin Fan's worried face, he continued, "When I arrived at the gate of Jia's mansion that day, Jia Lian actually let the young lady enter through the corner gate, and my subordinate handed over your post. Jia Amnesty of the Jia Mansion and Jia Zhengfang opened the middle door to welcome them in. According to your instructions, they entered the hall and gave the 20 silver note to Jia Zheng in front of everyone up and down, saying that it was The personal money Mr. Lin gave Miss Lin will be used for daily expenses in the future."

The sound of "giggle" bones came, and Qin Yuan saw the veins in his master's hands, and took a peek at his face, and found that his face was sullen, so he didn't dare to speak again.

With a dark face, Qin Fan slammed his fist on the table with a "bang". "You dare to let my woman go astray! If I didn't send it back personally, I don't know what wronged I will suffer. I should have known that this Jia's house is such a virtuous place!"

"Master, don't worry, with Qin Jian taking care of her, Miss Lin will not be wronged at all." Qin Yuan replied in a low voice. When the master is angry, no one dares to speak out.

"That's very good. Tell Qin Jian that if anyone is disrespectful, he will be killed directly. Just don't scare her." Qin Fanhan said in a cold voice, paused, and then explained, "Especially don't let that Dai Yu from Jia's mansion The brat approached her!"

"The subordinate obeys the order and will do it immediately." Qin Yuan leaned over to accept the order.

Gently raised his hand, sent Qin Yuan out, then sat alone on the pear flower chair behind the table, subconsciously touched the box containing the paintings, and stopped when he was about to open it.

Patting his forehead with his hand, Na Na said to himself, "Why are you so stupid, you are back, so naturally you have to see me."

Resolutely, he pushed the door and went out. The road outside the door was a little startled, but he saw Qin Fan striding towards the corridor without even saying a word. After a slight sign, he followed closely, thinking, "The master didn't let me not follow, so I will follow."

The snow-wrapped winter days add a ray of natural light to the night that should have been dark and windy. At this time, the cold wind is biting, and occasionally people who come back from the night walk by with the heat.Qin Fan was wearing a black robe, which stood out especially in this icy and snowy place. Passers-by took a look at him and saw the powerful aura on this person, so they immediately looked back and hurried past.

Qin Fan couldn't care less about other people at this time, standing outside the backyard wall of Jia's mansion, feeling a little uneasy in his heart, his heart beat faster than usual.Annoyed in my heart, I can only blame the ancients for having too many red tapes, and even my future wife can't meet upright.I didn't take these things into consideration, but how could such a woman be willing to let her suffer a little bit of grievance.

Lu Yin followed Qin Fan from a distance, seeing his master jumping to the gate of the backyard of the Rongguo Mansion, staring at the courtyard wall, he began to be dazed, and then walked back and forth, thinking about it, but still dare not imagine, the master Is this to follow the example of 'Flower Picker'?

Qin Fan's next actions quickly confirmed Lu Yin's thoughts, and he saw one jump over the courtyard wall and disappeared.Lu Yin hesitated for a while, and finally stood honestly in the corner, waiting for the master to come out.

The inner courtyard of Jia's mansion is complex in structure, with garden pavilions and rockery courtyards.Qin Fan couldn't find Daiyu's yard for a while.At this time it was getting late, all the houses and courtyards had already rested, and even the servants and maids on night watch had found a warm place to sleep secretly because of the icy and snowy weather.

Standing beside the rockery, Qin Fan frowned tightly, pursed his lips slightly, and thought to himself, why does Jia's mansion have so many yards that he can't even find her!

"Sister Zijuan, why are you cooking porridge so late?" Suddenly a clear girl's voice came.

Qin Fan hid himself for a while, and saw two green-clothed maidservants walking over, one holding a rice basket in his hand.

"Our Miss Lin didn't eat anything tonight. It's freezing cold, so I made her some bird's nest porridge to warm her body." The woman carrying the rice basket said with a slight smile.

After a while, the two walked through the rockery talking and laughing.

Qin Fan stood for a while, his eyes flickering slightly.A heavy hook on the thin lips followed closely.

The courtyard is very clean and simple. There is an exquisite hexagonal pavilion with a mahogany table inside and four round wooden stools around it.A few plants next to it, because it is winter, I don't know what kind of plants they are planted.

Qin Fan looked down at the tabletop, brushed his slender fingers lightly, imagining what Daiyu would look like reading here, the corners of his mouth could not help but twitch.Slightly raised his head and looked in the direction of the room, only to see light and shadow flickering, his brows were slightly frowned, reading under such light would definitely hurt his eyes.I also thought that she has always loved reading, so she must not listen to persuasion.

Walking to the window, through the looming gap in the window, you can see a woman in plain clothes with black hair and shawl sitting facing the window, with her head down, she doesn't know what she is looking at, but she can't see her face clearly.

"Girl, it's so late, drink some hot porridge to warm up your body, and rest later." Qin Fan heard that the person who spoke was the woman named Zijuan just now.That is, the personal servant girl who accompanied Daiyu in the original book.Then the girl in this population must be her.

Qin Fan suddenly felt that his heart was beating faster than before, as if he was out of breath and out of control, and he was relieved with a little luck.

The plain-clothed woman raised her head slightly, and replied with a smile, "I'm not hungry, I'll finish with a little more." The voice was light and melodious, sweet and agile.After finishing speaking, he continued to lower his eyebrows and read the book.

Zijuan went to the table to put down the porridge bowl, walked up to Daiyu, and softly persuaded, "My girl, it's so cold today, so let's go to bed early. Didn't you say you want to see the snowman? Tomorrow you will see the snowman." Find someone to pile it up for you to see, will it work?"

"You just think I'm weak and can't do it yourself, so you use this to deceive me." The woman's tone was aggrieved.

Qin Fan's heart skipped a beat, as if the stars and the moon in the sky had to be picked off.I wanted to listen carefully, but it was just the sound of a spoon touching. Because I changed the position, I couldn't see anyone anymore. I hated the window paper that got in the way. It would be better if there was glass. After peeking around, what to do, I finally think that the window paper is very good!

After a while, the lights in the room were turned off, and there was no sound, guessing that he must have fallen asleep.Qin Fan exhaled slightly, his air burning hot.

In this icy and snowy land, Qin Fan only felt that his heart was extremely warm, as if a wanderer who had been wandering for many years finally found a long-lost harbor.

The heavy snow had stopped, and the treetops in the courtyard were bent down. Qin Fan suddenly grinned, went to the courtyard, looked at the terrain, and started to work in full swing.

In a dark corner, Qin Jian sighed slightly. As soon as someone entered the yard, he sensed a strange aura. When he came to the corner, he saw a familiar figure. His heart tightened and he stood there. Don't dare to move again.It turns out that the general is also such an infatuated person`````

In the early morning of the second day, under the service of Zijuan, Daiyu put on a fox fur cloak and put on a stove with hand guards. "You agreed yesterday that you want to find someone to build a snowman. If I don't leave the house, I can just watch from the window," Daiyu said with a slight smile.

Zijuan chuckled, "The girl has such a good memory, and the servants don't dare to lie to you, so you sit by the window, and the servants go to find someone." Then she helped Daiyu to sit in front of the Linghua window, gently Pushing open the window with her hand, she was about to leave when she was stunned by the scene in front of her, "Girl ````Look here````" Zicuckoo pointed out the window with her fingertips trembling slightly.

Daiyu saw it when the window was opened, and she was also amazed at this moment, she couldn't help standing up, opened the door and ran out of the courtyard.

"Girl, it's freezing carefully." Zijuan chased out with the stove in hand.

Daiyu couldn't hear anything else, she saw a pavilion made of snow in the originally bare courtyard, the most wonderful thing was that there was a woman sitting in the pavilion, as if reading a book, and three people next to her. The famous maid waited quietly, in different shapes and lifelike.Daiyu walked to the pavilion involuntarily, touched the pillars, only felt that the ice was slippery and firm, and it was not like an ordinary snowdrift. After entering the pavilion, she stood in front of the table made of snow, suddenly froze, silently stand still.

"Girl" Zicuckoo followed into the pavilion, and seeing Daiyu standing still in a daze, she followed Daiyu's eyes and faintly saw two words engraved on the book the woman in the pavilion was reading.Couldn't help murmuring softly,

"Owned `````"
