The Eighteenth Century of Xuyang in the Red Chamber

Although Jia Lian and Xu Yang didn't hit it off right away, they liked dealing with him.After all, the young boy is good-looking, and although his speech sometimes makes people laugh and cry, he is also frank and loves to laugh. Coupled with that sunny face, it is really hard to hate.

But Jia Lian was pleasing to Xu Yang's eyes, and felt faintly worried again: "Uncle Lin is the only girl, and he definitely doesn't want her to be wronged. If you really want her to marry someone who is reassuring, Baoyu is born It's better, but in terms of closeness, it's really not as good as this Xu Yang." After thinking about it, he laughed at himself for worrying, how old is Sister Lin?But for any big family, unless the whole family knows the bottom line, who would lower their value to make a baby marriage?Don't you just look at it slowly, and wait until you can see whether the girls are virtuous and courteous, and whether the boys are upright and able to read, and then dare to talk about marriage?Otherwise, if you book casually, with such a family, even if the other party looks crooked, how can there be any reason to break the contract casually?Sister Lin's marriage will not be mentioned until four or five years later.Even if you are really right with which one, you have to wait until the ceremony is put on before you can make a formal decision. This is what Uncle Lin who loves his daughters like his life will do.

Oh, who cares!If Baoyu's marriage was not so far-sighted, and if he was in the right family, it would not be difficult to find a daughter-in-law.Just to see if grandma can think about it.

No matter what Jia Lian thought about his cousin's marriage, it was not something he could worry about after all, he just thought about it for a while and then put it aside.Before I packed all my luggage, I ran to the street to buy Yangzhou local products for my family.

As far as Jia Lian is concerned, he is a fool, and no one can compare his smallness and tenderness.A few days ago, I hated Wang Xifeng so much that I gritted my teeth, then I turned around and went to the street to find fashionable jewelry with her. Of course, I had to bring a copy for Ping'er, and at the same time, I couldn't forget to ask the shopkeeper to spare him. A few cheap but well-made things, go back to please your friends...

After thinking about it again, I heard that Cousin Xu is very good at writing, so I gave him a casual gift at the meeting last time.So I went to a stationery store and bought a few dollars of good Chengxintang paper and jade plate Xuan. I chose twelve pens of different sizes, and I was cruel again. I spent 80 taels on the shopkeeper and bought a master Wu who has been a little famous in recent years. He waved his hand and said that although he bought so many things, the boss didn’t need to discount any more, just give him two pieces of good ink.The boss looked at him with a bitter face, and snatched four pieces of good new ink, wrapped them with him, and sent Jia Lian out of the shop like a plague god.

Jia Lian was happy to save a few pieces of Xinmo's money.Apart from being greedy for flowers and lust, the second master Lian's biggest hobby is bargaining, but this hobby is really not on the table, which one of the bigger shops in the capital is not a bunch of smart guys who have already remembered all the people with names in the capital , I am afraid of losing face if I want to bargain.It was so easy to get to a place that no one knew, and the second master Lian was very happy to haggle along the way.They bought it all the way, spent hundreds of taels of silver, wandered back to the Lin Mansion, and asked someone to deliver the gift to Xu Yang.

Xu Yang was also very happy, seeing that the things were all good, although the inkstone was not as good as the one Lin Daiyu gave him, it was quite good, such authentic things in modern times were reluctant to be used casually, and they were all collected.After spending a long time looking for a good piece of jade among the messy pile of things that Mrs. Xu and Aunt Meng had given him, he sent it back. He took the jade plate and cut it to make a note. He thanked Jia Lian and pulled a bunch of The sour text, racking his brains, praised Jia Lian's character as a beautiful jade, and said modestly that although his jade is not the best, Lian's second brother can accept it for the time being, and it's good to reward others.

Not to mention that Xu Yang scratched his head and scratched his head thinking about writing a letter. Jia Lian almost spit out water when he saw his paper. The handwriting was good, but the writing was really messed up. , the general meaning is: second brother, you are so considerate, I like the pen, ink, paper and inkstone you gave me very much, I like it very much, I really like it... Second brother Lian, you are as noble as this piece of beautiful jade I gave you, by the way My jade is not considered a good jade, if you don't dislike it, you can keep it for yourself, or else you can reward others...

Jia Lian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He heard that Lin Ruhai had a headache a few days ago and said that this nephew wrote a good calligraphy, but the article was really a mess, but who would have thought that it would be so messy?Even Jia Lian, who always thought he was uneducated, had to despise him.No wonder Lin Ruhai was worried, Mrs. Xu's family took over Miss Lin's education, but left her son's education to Lin Ruhai.Lin Ruhai regretted that his bowels were turning green, he would rather teach his daughter four hours a day than face Xu Yang for half an hour!This is really a test of his slender literati heart!

Really, don’t blame Lin Ruhai for being weak-hearted. That day Lin Ruhai took Xu Yang’s Book of Poetry and asked Xu Yang to pick up a random one to talk about his own understanding... In fact, Lin Ruhai knows how to teach students according to their aptitude. Forcing him to read the Four Books was afraid that it would be too blunt, so let him read the Book of Songs first to cultivate his morale... Who knows that Lin Ruhai should be unlucky, what is not good for the test, Xu Yang is excited now, in fact, he still has the Book of Songs He didn't finish reading it, but he remembered some things he knew in the past clearly, so he told his uncle that he still liked some chapters of the Book of Songs. Very helpful to understand!

When Lin Ruhai heard this, it was not bad!Then you sing, so Xu Yang sang at the throat!

I am looking up!Over the moon!

There is a dream flying freely!

Past yesterday!Dry the sadness!

I meet you again on that boundless road!

Life has been pulled, the tide ebbs and flows;

A place with you is heaven!

Lin Ruhai almost had a heart attack with the song Down from the Moon!Don't think that popular songs can work in ancient times. Even "A Laugh in the Cang Hai", which Huang Zhan composed strictly according to Gongshangjiao Zhengyu's ancient pronunciation, will probably be called vulgar when taken back, let alone Xu Yang. This kind of singing method with a desperate voice, as well as the lyrics and the music in it are completely different from the ancient rhythm!Low oil, it is all kinds of appalling, no, it is unbearable.More importantly, hello! !Which passage of the Bible is this!It seems that I can almost understand what it means, but why can't I contact the Book of Songs! !

Lin Ruhai was so angry that he had no choice but to suppress his anger as much as possible and said, "What is the original text of this paragraph, you can memorize it!"

When Xu Yang heard this, he couldn't be more troubled!At the beginning, he heard people say that this song was based on the Book of Songs, so he searched it on the Internet and thought it was fun, so he memorized it!The one on the back is familiar!

I look into the distance, above the Toad Palace;

There is a dream, flickering and flying.

Yesterday is gone, the sorrow is exposed;

See you with your son, Moqing in the wild.

Wrapped in my arms, the river rises and waves rise;

Accompanied by beautiful women, Sri Lanka is Que Tang.

Well, I think everyone understands what's wrong with Xu Yang! !

This song was not based on the Book of Songs at all. The "Book of Songs" that Xu Yang recited was an "ancient prose in the style of the Book of Songs" fabricated by people based on the song "On the Moon". He was simply deceived by Du Niang!This kind of thing in the 21st century has bluffed a lot of people, making everyone think that Above the Moon really came from the Book of Songs, and that YMD is a divine comedy.But in front of Tanhua Lin Ruhai, this is simply too low-level joke.

Lin Ruhai was so angry that he raised his hand and smashed the Book of Songs on Xu Yang's head. This is too ignorant! !It's pissing off.I didn't bother to talk to Xu Yang anymore, so I just told him to go back and memorize the whole book of songs before looking for me.Then he sat down on the chair and began to have a headache about the education of this precious nephew.

Let's not mention Lin Ruhai first, let's talk about Jia Lian, the more he reads this letter, the happier he is, and he feels that being alone is worse than being happy with others. Before leaving, he invites Lin Daiyu to come over and show her the letter. Lin Daiyu can't laugh or cry when she reads it, and finally chases after Jia Lian. If you want to believe it, it's too embarrassing, please second brother be merciful and give her the letter.Jia Lian just wanted to find someone to laugh with, so he happily gave the letter to Lin Daiyu, and said happily: "These days here are the happiest, I'm an idiot, and I've been here all day I'm worried because I'm afraid that my uncle and Mrs. Xu will accidentally question me, but I've met someone who is less literate than me, and I feel much happier when I talk!"

Daiyu took the letter back to her yard, took out the letter and put it on the table, but it disappeared after two days.Ask the servant girl who moved her book, and then she realized that it was her father Lin Ruhai who came to visit her the day before yesterday, and she happened to be taking a nap, so she couldn't bear to wake her up, so she looked at the calligraphy she practiced at the table for a while, most likely it was at that time was taken by the father.I secretly groaned in my heart, but I didn't dare to ask my father.

A few days later the boat was ready, and after another day of loading, Jia Lian boarded the boat and headed north. Before leaving, he reluctantly said goodbye to Xu Yang, which scared Xu Yang out of goosebumps. Second Master Lian is a famous bisexual, didn't he like me? (Jia Lian: You are thinking too much! I like a petite lady who is pink and tender, who likes you, a silly boy who is almost six feet! I am sorry to be oppressed)

It was late November when Jia Lian got on the boat, no matter how fast the boat was going, it would be good if Xiaonian could make it back.Daiyu was very reluctant, of course it wasn't that she was so reluctant to part with Jia Lian, but Zijuan went back with the boat.This time, Zijuan followed, but Daiyu didn't go back, but Zijuan couldn't stay.Zijuan's parents are both in Jia's house. No matter how friendly Daiyu is with her, she can't let her family be separated because of her friendship, so she gave Zijuan many things, including silver taels and cloth jewelry, worth two or three hundred taels. Yinzi and Zicuckoo packed a big box for her to take away.Zijuan was also reluctant, but after all, she missed her parents, so she reluctantly packed her bags and went back with Jia Lian with tears in her eyes.

As soon as Zijuan left, Daiyu was quite sad for two days. Seeing her like this, Xu Yang was afraid that she would be bored, so he brought a new gadget to her yard to see her.

This is what Xu Yang ordered from a shop outside a few days ago.A small set of tables, chairs, cabinets and beds made of rattan, as well as matching small dots, painted wooden bowls, plates, and bottles, and even models of pens, inks, papers and inkstones, but these are not so detailed, after all, the table The size of a palm, the inkstone is not as big as a fingernail, and it’s a toy. It’s just a shape, and then a bunch of small things are packed in a big wooden box. To be precise, it’s a big wooden box in the shape of a small house, with doors and windows. , the doors and windows can be opened, and the windows are thinly covered with tulle, which looks extremely delicate.What's more interesting is that the roof can be taken down, and the wooden cover that makes the roof is opened, but the inside is partitioned with carved wood pieces, and the pile of rattan and wooden furniture made by Xu Yang is neat and tidy. Neatly placed inside, just like Lin Daiyu's boudoir, the work is extremely exquisite, even the drapes and curtains are made of satin, and they can be removed!Not to mention that there was actually a stack of quilts and pillows on the bed.Xu Yang put his heart into it, and specially ordered a set of high-end handmade children's toys for Lin Daiyu, commonly known as family wine toys.

If Lin Daiyu is free, she can lift the roof (why does it sound so awkward), move the cabinets and boxes, and if she is more professional, she can do some manual work by herself, change the bed curtain and the embroidered pier cover, and adjust the overall decoration The style is amazing.Xu Yang remembers very clearly that when they were young, the two cousins ​​loved drinking at home, cooking with small pots and shovels, pretending to be a doctor with a stethoscope, and changing countless clothes for Barbie dolls...the one who can change clothes Barbie really didn't dare to ask someone to make this thing, just kidding, saying that the carpenter said that he wanted to make a naked girl with arms and legs, and then gave it to his cousin when he was done?Xu Yang is a bit stupid, but he is not so stupid.Anyway, he estimated that the set of gadgets he brought would definitely kill girls under the age of ten, and sometimes women in their 40s and [-]s still like these little ornaments!

This set of gadgets is purely handmade. In modern times, it may not be worth thousands of yuan, but in ancient times, it is only ten taels of silver, no! !It actually costs ten taels of silver!Damn it, I only changed ten taels of silver when I became my Vacheron Constantin.So corrupt!Ten taels of silver has a purchasing power of tens of thousands, right?Woooooooooo I actually spent tens of thousands of dollars to buy a toy for a little girl.

Xu Yang hugged this big wooden house by himself, it was too heavy, and he couldn't bear to let the little girl who was twelve or thirty to hold it for him, so he happily hugged it by himself and went to the yard where sister Lin lived.

Unexpectedly, when passing by the back door of Lin Ruhai's yard, he saw a familiar girl coming by Lin Ruhai's side, and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, the master just wants me to invite Master Biao to the Suzheng Hall!"
