Zhen Lian of the Red Chamber

Zhen Lian turned around, the middle is the main room for receiving guests, and the left and right are rooms.The sunshine was stronger in the room on the west side of the north, so Zhen Lian lived in the east room.The two of them packed their luggage before going out to look at the yard carefully. There are three rooms in the East Wing. There is no one living here, and Zhen Lian and her daughter don't have anything to store. Instead, they can use one as a kitchen and the other as a bathroom. , It is also convenient to bring hot water.

Thinking that there were also two side rooms on both sides of the main room, Zhen Lian went over to see that it was the bathroom, and everything was in place, but her plan could not be used.Go out to another room, where there are several small tea stoves, two baskets of charcoal, teapots and so on.Then here is the tea room!

The winter scene in the courtyard was also bleak, Zhen Lian took a few glances and went back to the house, after a while Liu Xianglian brought Aunt Liu in with food.

"It's ordered, come and eat!" Liu Xianglian arranged the dishes and called them.

After Aunt Liu put it away, Mother Zhen Lian sat down, looked at the dishes and said, "This is a southern dish." She took a bite, and it really tasted like an authentic southern dish. Who did it?"

"It was made by Liushan's daughter-in-law. I just found out that she is also a southerner. She cooks delicious dishes. It's just right for you to cook now." Seeing that they like it, I also took a few bites, and it really tastes like this.

Zhen Lian was pleasantly surprised, originally she was planning to cook by herself, but now that she has such a good cook, how can she survive her cooking.

After the meal, Liu Xianglian took the two of them for a stroll around the village, and finally came to the gate of the village, Liu Xianglian pointed to the nearby fields, "These are all from the village, and they are rented out to people from Taohua Village to cultivate. Aren't you guys planning to buy land here? I'm going to inquire tomorrow to see if there is any land nearby that needs to be resold. I wrote to Uncle Liu to pay attention to the news, but this is the suburb of Beijing after all, and the best fields are Gaomen For big families, these are usually sold by no one except family members. Medium-sized land is very popular even if it is available, and it is difficult to buy. I also have a few old friends. I will inquire about it in a few days, but I won’t be able to buy it for a while. arrive."

"There's no rush, we can wait." These things can't be done in a day or two, and it would be nice if they can be bought one after another in a year or two.

However, today I saw that there is still some open space on the Zhuangzi, so I can plant some fruit trees, and there will be fruits to eat after a few years. "Plant some fruit trees in Zhuangzi, the ones you grow yourself will taste better."

"Okay, I'll let Uncle Liu and the others prepare to contact the fruit seedlings later, and they can plant them in spring. What do you want to plant?" There are also many fruit trees suitable for growing in the north, and you can only plant that one if you plant them all. There are a few.

Zhen Lian thought about it, but couldn't think of a few things for a while, and said, "Plant some! Not too many, just enough for the family to eat."

Liu Xianglian responded with a smile, and then ordered to go down and not mention it after a while.

After tidying up at night and going back to their rooms to sleep, Zhen Lian recalled the days when she came here. Although it was difficult at the beginning, it was finally fulfilled. With relatives and lovers, there will be a complete family soon , there will be lovely children, and everything is developing in a good way.You will live happily ever after in this life!If the relatives in the previous life knew that I was so happy, they should be happy too!

Thinking about it, she habitually wanted to talk to her mother. Just as she was about to speak, she realized that the two of them were not in the same room now. Zhen Lian couldn't help but smile wryly. Since returning to Feng's house, the two have been sleeping in the same room, and now they are sleeping separately. , I am not used to it yet.I don't know if my mother fell asleep, or if she is not used to it like myself?

After sleeping in a daze for a long time but still not falling asleep, Zhen Lian sighed and wanted to go to sleep with her mother, but was afraid that she would disturb her by going there after she was already asleep.I had no choice but to force myself to fall asleep, and only fell asleep unknowingly after turning over in the middle of the night.

When she woke up the next day, Zhen Lian was not in good spirits. Mother Zhen was concerned when she saw her, "What's wrong with Lian'er? Seeing that you're depressed, you're not sick!" As she spoke, she walked over and touched Zhen Lian's forehead to feel it. I tried my own again, "It doesn't seem to have a fever, is there any discomfort?"

Zhen Lian cheered up and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's just that I went to bed late last night and fell asleep in the middle of the night, and my spirit is not good. I'll go to bed after lunch and I'll be fine."

Mother Zhen thought it was because she was tired from traveling by boat for a long time, and only then did she appear ill. She was relieved when she heard that it was the reason, "Why did you stay up so late? But you are not used to strange places? Why don't you go to bed now?"

"No, I won't be able to sleep if I go now." After speaking, he smiled and said, "Isn't it because I am not used to sleeping separately from my mother! How about I sleep with my mother today?"

Mother Zhen was actually thinking about her daughter not sleeping well last night, her heart was as sweet as eating honey when she heard this, and a smile crept up the corners of her eyes and brows, "Okay! It's just that I have to get used to it in the future."

Zhen Lian hugged her and acted like a baby, "I just want to sleep with my mother!" The more people get along, the deeper the relationship, and now Zhen Lian completely regards her as her mother, so there is no pressure to act like a baby.

"You're going to get married next year, so you can still sleep with your mother?" Mother Zhen joked with a smile.

Zhen Lian's skin was already thicker than the wall, and she muttered: "Then wait for me to get married, and spend a few more years with my mother!" Anyway, there are many marriages at this age in this world, and there are still more than 20 to get married!

This made Zhen's mother laugh out loud, "Then Xianglian can't blame me? I won't be such a bad person!"

Zhen Lian was about to speak, but she saw Liu Xianglian walking in and said, "What are you talking about happy? Laughter can be heard from far away!"

Zhen Lian couldn't help but lose her voice, she couldn't say that she was going to refuse the marriage, although it was a joke, but Liu Xianglian always acted like she was in a hurry to get married, and she agreed, so it's hard to say these things.Then he changed the subject and asked: "Didn't you say you were going out today? When will you go out and bring me something. Buy some pens, ink, paper and inkstone, and add some books."

"I'll go in a while and come back before dinner. Make a detailed list so that I don't buy the wrong one." He went into the room and sat down, "Uncle Liu just told me that the toothmaid will bring some maids in the afternoon. You can choose which ones." One, if you are satisfied with it, stay, and if you don’t like it, then bring someone back.”

It's so fast! "Are they all selected according to my requirements?"

Liu Xianglian nodded, "Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu will choose in person, they have a good eye for people."

"Then let them choose two and come back directly. You don't need to bring me to see, and I don't know how to choose. I don't know what is good." Choosing a girl is different from others, and I don't have any experience. It's better to let They choose.The eyes of Uncle Liu and his wife are still reliable.

"That's fine, it's getting late, I'm going out, wait for me to come back for dinner." Liu Xianglian said a few words to Zhen Lian, said goodbye to Zhen's mother, and walked out the door.

When they arrived at the front yard and told Uncle Liu that he had directly chosen the girl to come back, Liu Xianglian took Liu Shan and rode towards the capital.Although the brothers of the Liu family often went out with them, but Liu Shan acted tactfully and spoke pleasantly, so Liu Xianglian usually took him with her when she went out.

All the way to the agreed restaurant, went upstairs and entered the box, but I didn't want someone to come!Liu Xianglian laughed and said, "Why did you come so early?"

Jia Baoyu had just arrived, and when he saw Liu Xianglian, he stood up in great surprise and said, "You're back! You'll be there for two or three years, but you still remember our friends!"

"How can I forget that I didn't just arrive yesterday, but I have an appointment with you today? I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to come out, but I didn't expect you to arrive before me." Liu Xianglian patted Jia Baoyu's shoulder vigorously, and pulled him to sit. Down.

Jia Baoyu poured tea for the two of them, and said with a smile, "Where have you been these past few years? When you said you were going to travel, I don't want you to come back now!"

Liu Xianglian remembered that she was going to travel all over the place, but she didn't want to but met her staying there for so long, and she couldn't help smiling.

Seeing him, Jia Baoyu laughed like this without saying a word, and asked curiously, "What's wrong with you? Could it be that there is some great event?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a burst of laughter from outside the door, and several young masters pushed the door in, "Which one has a big happy event? Tell me!"

The two hurriedly stopped talking and went up to meet them. Jia Baoyu said, "I was just asking Brother Liu! He was about to tell you that you came here, just let him talk together, so as not to talk a few times."

Everyone looked at Liu Xianglian, "Quickly tell me, what's so good about coming back after going for a few years!"

Liu Xianglian invited everyone to sit down, asked Liu Shan to serve tea for them, and then said: "It's such a happy event! This is why I came back this time." She said with a smile, "My marriage has been decided, the wedding date Around the end of next year or the beginning of the next year, when the time comes, I will send a wedding invitation to invite a few of you, and you will have a glass of wedding wine to show your face."

Everyone hurriedly congratulated Liu Xianglian, and said again: "You are so fast, you were rushed to the front! Could it be your aunt who ordered it? I don't know which family's daughter?"

"It wasn't arranged by my aunt, her family is from Gusu. The marriage was arranged after I left Beijing this time." Fortunately, I went out by myself, otherwise I wouldn't have met her.

Jia Baoyu said: "It's a coincidence that my second brother just came back from Gusu yesterday. If I knew you were only here, it would be nice to come back together!"

Liu Xianglian smiled, "You don't know? We came back from Gusu on your family's boat, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence!"

Jia Baoyu was stunned, he didn't pay attention to these things, he smiled and said: "So that's the case, I never asked my second brother about these things, the family is quite busy today, and I'm also confused."

Busy?After thinking about it, it must be those things. "I haven't congratulated you yet! I heard the second brother Lian talk about this on the boat, and then we hurried back. It's complicated to come to your house."

Jia Baoyu smiled on his face, but he was rather disapproving in his heart. There is no joy in this, it would be a happy event if the eldest sister came back forever!

After a while, the food and wine were served, and everyone drank a few glasses of Liu Xianglian, and then discussed the concubines bestowed by the emperor on each family, and said that this family was planning to build a family-friendly courtyard in the suburbs, and that family expanded its garden at home to become a family-friendly villa.

Jia Baoyu looked disgusted when he heard it, and Liu Xianglian knew that he never liked these words, so she asked, "Why didn't Qin Zhong come? I remember you are very good friends."

Jia Baoyu's eyes turned red when he heard the word "Qin Zhong". He choked up and said, "He won't come here anymore, he died of illness a month ago!" Roll out.

Liu Xianglian's eyes narrowed, "He was fine when I left, why did he just go there now?"

Jia Baoyu explained the whole story about Qin Zhong and Zhizhi'er being beaten after being discovered by Qin's father, Qin's father died in a panic, and Qin Zhong also fell ill and went away, and finally sighed: "I don't know what happened to that Zhizhi'er now. ?”

Liu Xianglian didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing the last sentence. She was a little surprised by what Qin Zhong did when she heard about it. Seeing him crying, it was obvious that she was sincere. She immediately changed her mind to feel sorry for Smarter, and cried out. I don't know how to evaluate myself!After all, he is a boudoir who knows nothing about the world!

Knowing his temperament, Liu Xianglian didn't persuade him, and he will recover naturally after a while. As expected, Jia Baoyu stopped crying soon.

Liu Xianglian said: "Where is his tomb, I will go to worship him later." Although the friendship is average, I don't like his deeds, after all, I have known him for several years, and I should have seen him for the last time go and see.

"I'll take you there after a while, and I want to see him too." Jia Baoyu remembered that it was rare for him to come out, and he didn't know when he would be able to see him in the future, so he decided to go together today.

"Okay!" The two of them waited for the crowd to disperse and came to Qin Zhong's tomb together. Liu Xianglian paid homage to him, seeing Jia Baoyu chattering there and looking at Qin Zhong's tombstone in a low voice, it was funny in his heart. Don't bother him, wait for him to finish before pulling him back.
