Evening Shaohua in the Red House

Jia Lanqi said: "Didn't their family send someone to congratulate them today? Why did they send a post again?" While talking, he asked the young man to take the post and opened it, but he asked Jia Lian, Jia Lan and his uncle and nephew tomorrow Go to Fuchu for a banquet.

After Jia Lan looked at it, he was puzzled. When he first came to Jinling, he brought a gift to the Zhen family to pay a visit. These social affairs were all taken care of by the second uncle Jia Lian. This time the Zhen family hosted a banquet and invited the two uncles and nephews, but they didn't know why. Thinking of this, Jia Lan asked, "What did the second uncle Lian say?"

Zhao'er said: "The second master said that our two families are family friends and old relatives. This is their family's kindness. Don't neglect it. Of course we are going. We have already sent people to buy gifts. Tomorrow Going out at [-]:[-] pm, ask Uncle Xiaolan to make arrangements early tomorrow, and we will go together at that time."

Jia Lan nodded after hearing this, and said, "Understood, you go back to Second Uncle, and you will go tomorrow when you clean up."

Zhao'er agreed to go here.

Early the next morning, the uncle and nephew packed up and went to Zhen's residence by car.

At this time, Zhen Yingjia and her younger brother Zhen Yinghui were both in office, and the family members of Zhen's family were all managed by Mrs. Zhen's Liu family. However, although Zhen Yingjia had two sons, the eldest son died when he was young, and the second son was a concubine. The only son, Zhen Baoyu, was young and temperamental. He was undisciplined, so the house's foreign affairs were handed over to Sun Zhenrong, the head of the second room.

When the two got out of the car, Zhen Rong welcomed them in. After exchanging pleasantries, Fang smiled at Jia Lan, "Since we met last time, the old lady has been talking about it. After hearing the good news about my nephew yesterday, I couldn't be happier. It must be a good birthday celebration, so I ordered me to hold a banquet, and invited my nephew to come over to have a good time, so I hurriedly wrote the post, I hope my nephew is no wonder."

Jia Lan hurriedly said after hearing the words: "Why did Shi Bo make such a statement? It's my nephew's blessing that the old lady loves so much. It's just a small matter. I really feel ashamed to work so hard for Shi Bo."

Seeing his modest and courteous words, Zhen Rong admired inwardly in his heart, he is still modest and steady with such good achievements at such a young age, without any trace of arrogance on his face. Patting him on the shoulder, he said with a gentle smile: "Nephew, don't be overly modest. It's rare for you to have won such a ranking at such a young age. I have read the article you wrote this time. You are very talented and have a high syllable. , also since the sharpness is very impressive, it is rare in the same generation, no matter how hard it is to survive for a few years, the township examination is also expected to pass, but

You still need to be diligent and learn, and you must not be proud and complacent. "

Jia Lan heard that his words were very intimate and dense, as if he was treating his own nephew, he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, wondering in his heart, and he only agreed repeatedly: "Nephew would like to follow Shibo's teachings."

The smile on Zhen Rong's face deepened, and he praised a few words warmly, then called two old nuns over, and led Jia Lan to the inner house to meet Mrs. Zhen.

After Jia Lan left, Zhen Rongfang invited Jia Lian to go to the outer study, ordered someone to serve tea, waved away the crowd, Fang smiled and said: "Brother Lan is so outstanding at such a young age, it can be said that the blue is better than the blue, it is really impressive." Envious, I really don't know how the family teaches."

Jia Lian was very proud of herself, and said with a smile: "Brother Shi, I am so impressed. Lan'er was born clever and clever since she was a child, and thanks to the guidance of the master and wife, she is what she is today."

Zhen Rong poured a cup of tea from the pot, and asked Jia Lan how he was at home in the past. Seeing that eight out of ten sentences of the other party were not far from Jia Lan, Jia Lian couldn't help feeling a little puzzled, but his face remained calm, and he picked out some interesting things. It's over.

Zhen Rong laughed and said: "As the saying goes, 'Three years old are old', Lang Geer is now only ten years old and has been selected as a scholar. In the future, the future is limitless. I don't know which family will be blessed in the future. I will get this son-in-law."

It turns out that Zhen's mother has liked Jia Lan very much since she met Jia Lan. The Zhen and Jia families are family friends, and their family backgrounds are comparable. Although the Jia family has declined a bit now, there are still many old troops in the army. With relatives from the Lin family, Shen Yi, Jia Lan's teacher, is a famous person in the world, and behind him is Gu Yan, a great scholar, who is full of peaches and plums, and has rich connections. This time, he was selected as a scholar at a young age. , a perfect marriage.

Only the early death of Jia Lan's father makes people a little dissatisfied, but nothing is perfect in the world, and there are the above advantages, so this flaw is okay.

It just so happened that Zhen Rong had a daughter named Zhen Yao who was eight years old and born Yuxue who was smart and was about the same age as Jia Lan, so they intended to marry the two families.

The right way is to know the elegant meaning after listening to the stringed songs. Jia Lian is naturally clever and quick-witted, and there is nothing he doesn't understand now. It is not suitable for the Yue family, who is a scholarly family, to help Jia Lan in his scientific research and official career in the future, and the Zhen family is generally honorable like his own family.

Besides, although the Zhen family is distinguished, the two families are old relatives. Back then, an old aunt of the Jia family married into the Zhen family, so it doesn't matter if they are married or not.

just the other side

He didn't say anything clearly, and he couldn't refuse it outright. Thinking of this, Jia Lian just pretended to be ignorant, and said with a smile: "Lan'er is still young, and he is the darling of our master and wife. He looks like an eyeball. Earlier, a monk said that it is not suitable for him to marry early, so our master and wife said that we will wait a few years before we mention this matter, and if we have fame by then, it will be easier to talk about marriage."

Zhen Rong's eyes flashed when he heard the words, and he said with a smile: "This is reasonable, after all, it is a lifelong event, so we must be more cautious."

Having said this, Zhen Rong naturally understood what the other party meant, but it was rare to meet such a suitable son-in-law candidate, and he didn't want to give up easily.

But Jia Lian is just Jia Lan's next-door cousin, so it's reasonable that he can't be the master. It seems that Jia Zheng has to be asked what he means.

However, now that the two families are thousands of miles apart, communication is very inconvenient. Besides, although he likes Jia Lan, there is absolutely no reason for the woman to overtake the man. This matter still needs to be discussed in the long run.Anyway, the two children are still young, so there is no need to rush.

Thinking of this, Zhen Rong smiled slightly, changed the topic calmly, and started talking about gossip.

Jia Lian also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then talked about who's play is good, whose wine is good, etc.

But it is said that Jialan walked out of the gatehouse and came to the garden. The buildings, terraces, courtyards, mountains, trees, slopes and ponds are all ingenious.

He had been here once before, but he was not surprised, Zhen's mansion is distinguished, just like Jia's mansion, it is also of noble origin, the mansion is also full of springs, stones, forests, pavilions, towers and pavilions, majestic and magnificent, or one or two of them are slightly prosperous.

It's just that Jia Lan doesn't have the heart to enjoy it, and has been thinking about the so-called origin of today's banquet. The last time I met Zhen Rong, he was polite and alienated, but today he has a very different attitude. It really makes people have to think about it.

Jia Lan walked all the way and meditated all the way, and after a while, she walked into a courtyard, which was the Enxi Hall where Zhen's mother lived.

Entering the vertical flower gate, there are Chaoshou verandahs on both sides, and the hallway in the middle, where there is a marble screen with a red sandalwood shelf.Turning around the screen, there are three small halls; behind the hall is the main courtyard.

As soon as he arrived on the corridor, Jia Lan saw a mountain of chrysanthemums piled up in front of him. There were bottles, bottles and dishes of different sizes, and there were chrysanthemums everywhere.

There are five upper rooms on the front and side rooms on both sides of the corridor through the mountains, all of which are carved beams and painted buildings.

Everyone had already got the news, seeing the old mother leading Jia Lan over, the girls in the corridor had already raised the sapphire blue silk curtain.

Walking into the green gauze man, I saw that there are glass windows up and down.In front of the upper window, there are eight large pots of Suxin orchids in a row.

There are all kinds of bronze and ancient magnetic vases on it, with broken branches of chrysanthemums inserted. On the kang and all the chairs and stools, they are all covered with half-old blue satin of the same color.

There were two maidservants in red and green standing at the door of the upper room. When they saw Jia Lanfu, they saluted and lifted the door curtain of Songhua Lake's crepe dripping water.

Jia Lan followed the old mother into the room, and saw Zhen's mother sitting on a small Luodian couch, wearing a pearl leather coat with a green silk face, a maroon horse face skirt, blue satin shoes, and big rosewood feet. He has snow-like hair on his temples, a red gold inlaid emerald on his head, and two sweet-scented osmanthus flowers on his temples. He is full of smiles and is very kind.

On one side of the low couch stood a few maidservants with good looks, dressed just like the master, and on the other side stood a few young women, all of them were covered in pearls and emeralds, and their bodies were covered in silk.

Sitting at the bottom are two wives, one with a long face, about forty years old, wearing a gold satin beige woven with peonies and eight immortals in azure color, with a gentle demeanor between her eyebrows and eyes, dignified and elegant, quite For kindness, it is Zhen Yingjia's wife Liu Shi.

The other is a little younger, wearing a verdant green brocade satin skirt with eight cloud bat makeup, and an autumn-colored lake crepe thin cotton skirt. It is Mrs. Zhao, the wife of Erfang Zhen Yinghui.

The young women standing are the granddaughters-in-law of the two bedrooms. The leading one is wearing a silver-red satin jacket, a sky-blue gauze gown, a peach-red pleated skirt, almond eyes and peach cheeks. It is Zhen Rong's wife Feng Shi.

Jia Lan was familiar with all the owners of Zhen's house, and respectfully bowed to Zhen's mother, saying: "Jia Lan, the younger generation, pays homage to the old matriarch, and the old matriarch will live in good health."

Mother Zhen liked it very much, and hurriedly said: "Good boy, get up!"

Jia Lan bowed to Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zhao again, and the two wives hurriedly apologized.

Afterwards, he met with Feng Shi and others before taking his seat.

Everyone looked at Jia Lan carefully while talking, and saw that he was wearing a purple gold crown with hair tied on his head, wearing an ivory dark floral silk jacket, a lake blue inlaid collar, and a round neck arrow sleeve with a bright white base and a small ball of flower satin. Wearing a suet and white jade locks with blessings and longevity, around the waist is a bright red Ruyi chain sash, two locks of red dragon whiskers tied with gold knots are dragging directly on the feet, and a pair of black boots with powder bottoms are placed on the feet, making the lips look redder and teeth whiter, the eyes are beautiful and the eyebrows are clear, All are amazed.

Mother Zhen fell in love with her more and more, so she pulled Jia Lan to sit down in front of her, and said with a smile, "It's been a while since I've seen you, and I've grown more energetic and taller."

Jia Lan said with a smile: "It's been a long time since I came to pay my respects to the old lady, and ask the old lady to forgive me."

Mother Zhen laughed immediately when she heard the words, and said: "What kind of talk is this?

Yes, it is right to concentrate on preparing for the exam. "As he said that, he said to the servant girl: "Go and invite brothers and girls to meet the guests. "

The maid agreed to go.

Mrs. Zhen Liu and the others also asked Jia Lan about her studies, how she got used to eating and living in Jinling, and so on. Jia Lan answered them one by one.

Mother Zhen saw that his speech was clear and eloquent, and he was more calm than the last time we met, she couldn't help but secretly nodded.

Only Feng's face was calm, since she knew her husband's plan, she was very dissatisfied in her heart. Her daughter is golden and precious, who is not worthy of her, but Xu Jia's!

Although Jia Lan is good, she lost her father since she was a child and has a widowed mother in her family. This alone makes her 1 unwilling.

The author has something to say: I am too sleepy, I will catch bugs tomorrow (the next update will still be on Friday~).

Today is the fourth day on duty, and there are still eleven days left. It is really difficult to be locked up inside, but now the city is almost closed outside. I heard from my family that all communities are closed, and traffic is also controlled. Except for special vehicles, other vehicles All are not allowed to pass through, and a pass is required to go out to buy supplies.

The situation is severe now, little angels should not go out, it is safest to stay at home.

I really miss the days when I could go out and go shopping at will. I hope the epidemic can be lifted soon.
