Old things in the Red Chamber

No matter how sinister the Rongguo Mansion is, as long as the two of them don't covet what they promise or hint, it is still very easy to get out.

So they didn't eat this meal, and the two went out of Rongguo Mansion to find a very large restaurant and ordered some food and wine. The two brothers happily filled their stomachs.

After Jia She was full of wine and food, he found no one around.I want to say a few words to my brother, but I think that although this is also the capital city, it is not the capital city I know, so I must be careful when speaking here.

"We're not staying here for a short time, why don't we go back earlier?"

Jia Amnesty's idea is to go back to his own home, say whatever he wants, and enjoy himself as much as he wants.

Jia Gu thought he was tired of playing here, so he nodded, and the two quickly returned to the manor.

After returning to the manor, Jia She felt that the wind here was gentle. "No, no, this is the last time I went. Before I saw the old lady today, I still felt that I missed the old lady very much. After I saw her, I remembered the life that our mother and son have lived these years. It’s not because of mother’s kindness and filial piety. The old lady has always treated Jia’s second child better than me...I didn’t expect it to be the same in another world. No matter where I am, since I can’t get the old lady’s favor, there is no need to miss him. , If you want to go in the future, don’t call me, I want to go back and watch my grandson study.”

Jia Gu deliberately teased him after hearing this, "Aren't you going to see your son and daughter? Then Jia Lian and your son look exactly the same, even have the same temperament."

Jia Amnesty showed a bit of struggle on his face, "Let's go, but let's go quietly, don't stay there for long, go and come back quickly, no matter how good he is, he is someone else's son, I will go and see if my son is gone." It’s fine if you’ve seen the eye addiction. What’s more important is my grandson. I’ve heard that the eleventh prince won’t need to study in a few days, and my grandson won’t need to go to the palace by then. I had a plan a few days ago, I want to find Discuss carefully, you said let my son take the imperial examination? Or should I donate an official to him?"

Whether it is donations or imperial examinations, the future is very bright for Jia She's grandson.

"It's better to take the imperial examination. People who pass the imperial examination are always more important than those who donate officials."

Jia Amnesty nodded, "I think so too."

The two old men looked around in the field, and after talking about the things at home, they talked about the things in the village. When the two old men were harming other people's crops, the people in the village ran over.

"The two old gentlemen can't do it. Don't pull out other people's flowers. Without flowers, there will be no fruit..."

The two old men withdrew their hands as if nothing had happened, and Jia Gu showed the money of the old man to hide his anger, "Why are you chattering? How decent."

"Old man, don't take a walk here." The visitor stepped forward and leaned against Jia Jia's ear, "You don't know, the emperor is here, and he is now in Zhuangzi. Talk to me, go back quickly."

Jia Gu was still thinking about what the emperor was doing here on the way back.Even though he thought so, he returned to Zhuangzi with his elder brother early.

The emperor didn't come alone. He also held a fat baby in his arms. This was the son he had just last year.It is also the only son at present. The emperor loves this son very much. He often holds his son in his arms and teases him. The relationship between father and son is very good.

When Jia She saw the little doll, he was so happy that he didn't know what to say. He went up and started teasing the little child, and very boldly took the child into his arms and threw it twice.The little prince was not afraid, he kept laughing in Jia She's arms, his gums were exposed when he laughed, and his small white teeth the size of a grain of rice were exposed.

Since the emperor didn't say the purpose of his visit, other people wouldn't take the initiative to ask. Everyone chatted for a long time about raising children.

At this moment, the emperor casually asked the two of them, "I don't know what my grandfather and uncle have been doing in Zhuangzi these two days?"

Jia Gu said to him nonchalantly, "I have never planted crops in my life, so I just want to live in the farm for a few days to see how the farmers grow crops. When the emperor didn't come, our two brothers were picking flowers on the field. Well, but who knew that the flowers we picked could produce melons, and just a moment ago, we two brothers harmed more than a dozen melons. What is the emperor Bailong Yufu doing here? If the bad guys find out, it will be terrible What should I do? It is said that the son of a daughter cannot sit in court, so it is fine for you to come by yourself, but you brought the eldest prince, if there is really some accident..."

The emperor waved his hand indifferently, and didn't intend to discuss this matter any further, after all, old people always like to chatter.Just like the empress dowager in the palace, she also likes to chatter, and she can chat with others for a long time if she catches someone, and the empress dowager has a problem, that is, she likes to talk to the emperor. Hour by hour, the Empress Dowager felt uncomfortable all over.

"I don't know what's wrong. I've been dreaming for the past few days. This dream seems a bit absurd to me, even a bit grotesque, but every time I think about it, it's like being there, so I have nothing to do in the past two days. Tell the elders about it."

Jia Gu thought that his brothers were not interpreters of dreams, but Jia She couldn't sit still, he hugged the eldest prince and moved to the emperor's side, "I heard that there is always a reason for dreaming, what did the emperor dream about recently, but what is it?" Bad things?"

"It's not a good or bad thing. I dreamed about things about my mother before. Speaking of which, I have never experienced these things. Even if I heard others say it, it shouldn't be so detailed. Most people wake up from dreams. I don’t remember what I dreamed of, but I am different. After waking up, I not only remember what I dreamed of, but also remember all the details clearly, just like what I experienced yesterday. What I don’t understand the most is that not only a day or two It’s like this, and it’s been like this for four or five days. The dream I had today is related to the dream I had yesterday. It’s like yesterday’s dream about my mother’s queen borrowing something from someone else. Do you think it's strange that the queen returned the thing in my dream?"

It's very strange.

Then the three of them talked for a long time in the room, to the effect that the emperor suddenly dreamed of his mother before entering the palace one day, and couldn't help but follow her into a big mansion, and then watched her live day after day. life inside...

"If this is not the case, the emperor will still go back to the palace today. Regardless of whether these dreams are good or bad, it is not a good thing for Sheji that His Majesty cannot sleep well every day. In the early years, I heard people say that Tang Taizong could not sleep at night. It was a dream that a ghost came to him to claim his life. Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong were hanging outside the palace. After a night, Tang Taizong never had such a dream again. The old minister had the cheek to learn from Qin Shubao and Yuchi Jingde , put on the whole body today, stand outside the palace, and guard the gate of the palace for the emperor all night. Let's see the effect first, and then we will talk about it."

A group of people hurried back to the capital from Zhuangzi outside the city. Jia Gu went home and put on the armor he had worn in battles all over the year. At night, he dressed neatly and went outside the emperor's bedroom to guard the whole night.Before dawn the next day, he heard movement in the bedroom, so he quickly unarmed and waited for the emperor at the gate of the palace wearing only his armor.

"The emperor thought you slept well last night?"

The emperor's face was a bit disappointed, "To be honest, I slept very well yesterday, but it's a pity that I didn't see my mother again after waking up this morning."

"It is also a good thing for the old minister to say that the other highnesses may have forgotten the Queen Mother. You must also remember how the Queen Mother acted back then. The Queen Mother has always been gentle and docile. If the Queen Mother really misses you, come here occasionally Look at you, that's for sure, but I will never drag you away in my dream night after night, this is not like the Queen Mother's style of acting in the past."

"You're right, it's true. When the queen mother was still alive, she would not walk a step or say a word in the harem when she was still alive. The most worrying thing is that some people say that she does not obey the rules. She usually treats us brothers and sisters. It's more about love, and I don't dare to show this love too clearly, it's very different from the domineering behavior that forced me to stay in my dream these days."

After figuring this out, he didn't stick to it anymore, "Thank you very much."

Before others could understand why Jia Gu entered the palace in cloak, Jia Gu ran to the Zhuangzi outside the city again. He was a bit restless. Now that he knew there was such a place, of course he would not want to Living peacefully in Zhuangzi, even if his elder brother doesn't go, he will run over to play often.

However, after he came back from the palace, he wandered around in Zhuangzi for four or five days, but he couldn't find a way to enter another world.I have to admit that I really have nothing to do with that world.

When I was drinking with my elder brother, I brought this matter up. At this time, Jia She was drunk, "Tell me to stop complaining, didn't you go to the palace a few days ago? Your Majesty After a few days of dreaming, the two of us played in another world for a few days, can you tell me if this is a kind of fate?"

"You mean that the place we went to was in the emperor's dream? How is it possible? This is simply nonsense."

"Aren't our behaviors in that world just nonsense? Don't say so much, in my opinion, this matter is likely to be like this. Back then, Baoyu's child wrote a book, and I dedicated it to the emperor. Now, maybe this is the emperor thinking about it day and night after reading that book."

After finishing speaking, the feeling of alcohol came up and eyes became astringent, "Let me sleep for a while, and when I wake up, the two of us will drink again." After finishing speaking, he lay down on the table and heard snoring after a while.
