[Red Mansion] The first cute rabbit

"Who's here?" Hou Ye's ears were very keen. The old servant held his ears for a while before he heard the sound of a carriage coming from a distance. He went out the gate and saw that the carriage of the old dean Mei was still 500 meters away. meters away.

"Mr. Xie Hou, why haven't you gone yet?" Old Mr. Mei was very thin, but in a panic, he jumped off the carriage neatly, like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind, his body was erratic, and he moved in a haphazard manner. flew into the yard.

"Oh, nephew, you should help me, let's go, don't talk about my face, you should be the face of the dynasty's first official competition, let's go." Old Mr. Xie floated in front of Xie Jing, Arched hands, a posture that if you don't agree to the next step, I'll be rude.

"Don't worry, old man, my Lord Marquis was going to set off too." The old servant followed closely, blocking the reluctance of his little Lord Marquis with neither softness nor force.

Xie Jing glanced at his old housekeeper, stood up, and bowed to Mei Qingyuan very solemnly: "Mr., please go to the main hall to drink tea and wait a while. I will change clothes."

Mei Qingyuan looked at him up and down, puzzled and said: "Nephew, didn't you just change this clothes this morning? It's pretty good, very masculine."

Xie Jing continued to speak slowly: "It is a dignified and elegant thing for the old man to hold the first chess meeting. This dress is worn when practicing martial arts, which is out of date. Uncle Bao, you can accompany the old man for a while."

The little shriveled old man named Uncle Bao smiled all over his face, and greeted Mei Qingyuan into the hall for tea.

"No, it won't take a while for this kid to change his clothes. His father was in a hurry back then, and he could change his clothes on the road." Mei Buyuan waved his hand, and just stood there, as if he could leave immediately.

But he underestimated young people's love of beauty, Xie Xiaohou is slower than big girls, Mr. Mei estimated that with this skill, even a lady waiting at the door can carefully apply makeup three times and put on cumbersome clothes Palace clothes.

Xiaohou Xie finally came out, wearing a black silk long gown, covered with a white satin cape, waving a fan.

How long will it take this dress up?

"Hey, why didn't the old man go to drink tea? If I knew you were sitting here waiting, this junior wouldn't take so long." Xie Jing came out and was a little surprised to see Mei Qingyuan still sitting where he was.

"It's okay, nephew is not easy. There is not even a woman in such a big mansion. You have to do things like pick out clothes yourself. How can this be a job that a man can do?" Mei Qingyuan was not only not angry, but also quite sympathetic.

"Please, sir." Xie Jing bowed his head and stretched out his hand, making an invitation.In the past few years, he seldom went back to his home, and he was so worried that it was these seniors who urged him to get married, making his life seem to be more miserable than the little cabbage in the field.

Obviously freedom is like the wind, okay?

When the carriage arrived at Moxiangyuan, the winners had already been announced. Several scholars stood at the door with disbelief on their faces. Seeing Mei Qingyuan get off the carriage, they stepped forward one after another.

"The result? Is it the son of Prime Minister Zhou's family or the son of Zhang Yushi's family?" Mei Qingyuan stood still and asked firmly.

A few old scholars looked unnatural, and murmured: "It's not a young master, it's a girl."

"Girl?" Xie Jing, who got out of the car immediately, had a short circuit in his brain. He really couldn't think of a case where a creature like a girl could win without relying on chess.

"Nephew, you're already here, let's go in and have a look, okay?" Mei Qingyuan was a little hopeless, he knew this little marquis's temper, he regarded the way of chess as the way of war, and he was not afraid of you being treacherous or deceitful, but he would just be annoyed. Women usually rely on chess, but the young ladies of the aristocratic family, it is popular to use chess as a coquettish means to play chess with the young master. If you don't show a little temper and rely on it, it is considered extremely uninteresting.

I didn't notice, which delicate beauty is this, who actually made all the men in the audience bow down for her, and pretended to lose to her by coincidence?

"Then let's go." Looking at the airtight surroundings of several old gentlemen, who couldn't get away even if they wanted to, Xie Jing thought that they had come here, and if they took a look, there would be no less eyeballs.

Then, surrounded by a group of old gentlemen, he came to the courtyard, and then, his eyeballs were not missing, but he froze, motionless.

On the high platform, a gentle breeze blew up the woman's long white skirt, but the girl didn't seem to notice it, holding a chess piece in her suet-like jade hands, frowning slightly, as if in a chess game.

It seems that she is the only one left in the world, playing a game of chess.

Xie Xiaohou's eyes were dazed, his legs were unconsciously brisk, and Mr. Mei's challenge seemed to ring in his ears, but he didn't realize it. He sat down, took his eyes off the beauty's face, and put them on the chessboard. superior.

The exquisite chess game in the ancient chess book!

Since he was 12 years old, he began to study the chess game with his left and right hands. The girl actually took more steps than him.

He wanted to plop down on his knees in front of the girl, hold the hem of her brocade-like white skirt, and say obsessively, "I lost, and I lost so convincingly."

Seeing that neither of them moved, old Mr. Mei Qingyuan had no choice but to call out the official announcement of the challenge again. The girl opposite finally stopped wrestling with her left and right hands, and didn't look up to see who the challenger was. She just said a word: "Please!" .”

Listening to this ethereal cloud-like voice, Little Marquis Xie was going crazy, half of the blood in his body was boiling, and half of the blood was about to freeze, the joy of finding a confidant, and the shock that a confidant knew him so well alternated in his heart repeatedly, Let him stand on the dividing line between hell and heaven.

Like crazy.

After a long time, he picked up a black chess piece with trembling hands, and slowly put it down...

Several old gentlemen changed from standing to sitting, from sitting together to leaning, from leaning to leaning in a mess, if it weren't for those few chessboards, they really wanted to collapse on the ground, Snoring and falling asleep.

The two people on the opposite side of the chessboard seem to have settled down. A game of chess played from morning to noon, and then from noon to evening. At the end, the Moxiang Courtyard was brightly lit, and the nearby Dali Temple thought that the game had gone wrong. A team of officers came to inquire.

"I really need your company, help me get some food, there are so many contestants, and they can't disband before the results come out. The Moxiangyuan was temporarily set up for the competition, and the stove hasn't been set up yet." Mr. Mei's voice was as if Yousi, with a pale face, weakly bowed his hands to his brother Sibang.

When the new moon rises in the east, the atmosphere is even more weird. There are two sitting on the stage, with indifferent temperament, otherworldly, one black and one white, like a game between immortals. Crooked, not only has no image at all, but also has a look of lovelessness.

When Zishi's clapper was struck, the two people on the stage remained indifferent, as if infatuated.

The young masters in the audience finally gained strength after eating, punching each other, and enjoying themselves. The ladies finally couldn't stand it anymore, and gave full play to the special charm of their daughters, and fell down softer and softer one by one. The scream broke through the sky, and finally awakened the two immortals on the stage who had wandered into the sky.

"It's because I lost the game. The girl is good at chess and deserves the honor of a national scholar." Master Xie Xiaohou stood up and bowed to the bottom, as if worshiping a goddess.

Baoyu sat in the carriage, staring at the stage without moving for a whole day, he didn't eat, and the laughter of the four girls around him seemed to be unheard.

This is my second sister, but it's not.That Yingchun who was alone in the gazebo and under the big tree, that Yingchun who was so neglected in the hearts of everyone that even a little girl dared to bully, on this stage, in front of this silent man, suddenly shone.

He stared at the second sister wearing a long white skirt and a cloak embroidered with blue phoenix flowers, standing there gracefully, and calmly took the money and the silk book from Mr. Mei, Her gentle eyes looked at the crowd calmly.

Is she looking for herself?Baoyu was excited for a while, a kind of brother-sister emotion violently washed his chest, he strode out of the carriage, walked to the high platform, bent down, stretched out his hand, and walked off the stage with Yingchun.

He didn't feel it when Yuan Chun named the princess, because his eldest sister was good enough, she could afford any honorable title, which was expected.

But Yingchun is different, although he is older than him, but ever since he had that dream, the lonely girl who suffered from sex has been deeply rooted in his mind. He never thought that the girl from Munadi would become glorious as long as she changed places. eye-catching.

He is more excited than Yingchun.

He also thanked his old grandmother from the bottom of his heart. In this society where men are superior to women, girls in Beppu either believe that women without talent are virtue, or do some needlework and embroidery. Few of them can learn chess, calligraphy and painting according to their temperament. He didn't dare to imagine what it would be like if Yingchun was raised at the knees of Jia She and Mrs. Xing.

In the eyes of all the people, the handsome young man in red helped his sister into the carriage, rode on the big horse, and took the beautiful maids with him, and drove away in a mighty way.

Xie Jing stared at the carriage in a daze, turned the corner and disappeared.

"Little Marquis, don't worry, I am very pleased, you have finally learned how to give in to women." Old Mr. Mei comforted him, stroking his long beard.

"Sir, I misunderstood, I am indeed inferior to others." Xie Jing seemed to be talking in his sleep.

"Hehe, let me tell you what, that girl from Jia's mansion has been able to face you for such a long time, which shows that her chess skills are quite good, and she deserves her name. The little marquis gave me roses, and her hand has a lingering fragrance. "Mei Qingyuan continued to follow his own thinking to analyze.

"It's a girl from Jia's mansion, but the Jia family from Rongguo mansion?" Xie Jing finally turned his head from the empty avenue in front of him and asked seriously.

"My nephew just came back from the war, so I don't know much about the situation in the capital. Cough, there is no Rongguo mansion now. A few days ago, because of Rongguo Gong Jia's injustice, he was raped, and now he is confined at home to be punished. It's a pity. His family has a girl, everyone is different from others, most people would not be able to marry her." Mei Qingyuan sighed regretfully.

"This girl, can you agree to her?" Xie Jing's question seemed to be not on the same pulse as Mei Qingyuan's, and he jumped to ask.

"A few days ago, I heard that he was going to marry the Sun family in Datong, but Sun Shaozu suddenly sent an envoy to escort the marriage team. Otherwise, the marriage would probably be settled. Why, nephew, are you interested in this girl?" Yes Mei Qingyuan was quite surprised that this young master could take the initiative to ask about a girl's marriage.
