The Hulk of the Red Chamber

"Cousin Ze, Cousin Hong!" Jia Baoyu came over to meet Li, and introduced Zhen Baoyu to them, with a bit of showing off, "This is Zhen Baoyu, the young son of the Zhen family. Like it!"

Shi Ze didn't think much of Jia Baoyu. Although Shi Ze didn't persevere in studying literature and martial arts, he still didn't like Jia Baoyu's flamboyant son. , so he just nodded perfunctorily: "So it's Mr. Zhen, I've admired you for a long time!"

Shi Hong glanced at Zhen Baoyu, and said with a smile: "Young Master Zhen has been in Beijing for quite a while, but this is the first time I've seen him!"

Although Zhen Baoyu said that he didn't like to meddle in ordinary affairs, he also knew that the historian had lowered his family's face before. He was not a person who knew how to cheat, and now he could not help but show some traces. The cousin who was walking up the idiot Lu beetle didn't catch a cold. Moreover, his sister Lin, whom he had been thinking of before, was now engaged to Shi Hong, so his perception of Shi Hong was even more complicated.

It can be said that the two of them didn't have much affection for Shi Hong. Therefore, Jia Baoyu wanted to ask Shi Hong about Lin Daiyu's affairs after casually saying a few words, but he just got started when he saw Shi Hong's expression turned cold. , Seeing that Zhen Baoyu looked unhappy, he stopped this thought for a while.Unlike Lin Daiyu, who only has a brother-sister relationship with him, this stone who was enlightened by the so-called gods early on is not so simple, but the time is short, and the relationship is not too deep. Shi Xiangyun, the gentle and virtuous Xue Baochai, and after knowing that Lin Ruhai had no intention of getting married, Shi Taijun and Mrs. Wang were worried that he would think wildly and deliberately guide him. Therefore, at most he was a little unwilling. There is no meaning of life or death.Therefore, Zhen Baoyu showed displeasure, and Jia Baoyu, who had always only cared about the person in front of him, took advantage of the situation and left.

Seeing Jia Baoyu seeking Zhen Baoyu's favor, Shi Hong suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart. Could it be that Jia Baoyu is narcissistic, just like the beautiful boy in Greek mythology who watched his own shadow until he died.I used to live among women and couldn't tell, but now I see a Zhen Baoyu who is almost identical to me and made out of the same mold, isn't it just holding her in the palm of my hand, I guess he will turn around even his own wife. Can play with Zhen Baoyu in exchange!But it seems that Zhen Baoyu is about the same, and finally Jia Baoyu didn't suffer too much.The more Shi Hong thinks about it, the more he feels that this is the case. Jia Baoyu is not just a selfish and narcissistic character. He was spoiled since he was a child. , He said how much he cherishes girls, but he doesn't care about turning pearls into dead fish eyeballs himself, just like he is not a stinky man made of mud.On the one hand, he acted like he couldn't live without Lin Daiyu, and even the housekeeper didn't talk about it, and even the men played very well, so Qin Zhong, and an actor called an official, wouldn't believe anyone who had nothing to do with him. Men who don't grow up to look good are just like women. They are made of water, so they don't feel filthy and smelly.

Shi Ze looked at Jia Baoyu and Zhen Baoyu and left after a few perfunctory words. Although he didn't like him, he was also domineering. The Jia family spoiled Jia Baoyu like nothing else, but in Shi Ze's eyes, In terms of status, Jia Baoyu couldn't compare to himself. Jia Zheng was just a fifth-rank official, not even qualified to go to court. The bullshit psychic gems can't find any benefits that can be sold.Thinking of this, he sneered softly: "Brother Hong, our cousin doesn't like us! I don't even look at who I am, how old I am, and I'm as frivolous as a slut on the stage , who dares to hook up with anyone, and the little reputation left by the Jia family has almost defeated him!"

Shi Hong heard something in Shi Ze's words, so he asked, "What kind of saying is this? I haven't heard of it!" A few days ago, I heard that Jia Baoyu had proposed a name for some relative's house at home, and wrote a poem. Well, Shi Hong also heard about those poems, and he has to say that Jia Baoyu's talent is much stronger than Shi Hong's in terms of poetry.

"Brother Hong, you have always been a decent person. Let's talk about those things in private. Who would go to your side and chew their tongues!" Whether it's a man or a woman, they are always very interested in gossip, Shi Ze sees Shi Hong was very interested, and quickly said, "Don't say that Jia Baoyu and the King of Beijing are a little ambiguous, that kid actually took the poems from the Jia family's boudoir to show off. You know, the things in the boudoir are just a piece of paper, a stitch and a thread shouldn't flow out of the backyard, but let him spread it to everyone, and make the innocent girl innocent!"

Shi Hong frowned: "There won't be Sister Yun, right?"

As soon as Shi Xiangyun was mentioned, Shi Ze had no good voice, he sneered: "What reputation does that girl have..." He was about to say more, but when he saw someone coming, he stopped.

At this moment, all the people have come, and the servants have already set up a banquet, because they are all young masters, and it is not easy to distinguish the superiority and inferiority too clearly, and there are not too many people, so they simply used a big round table, Feng Ziying took the main seat, and because the Zhen family was in full swing, Zhen Baoyu sat at the place closest to the main seat. He didn't care about any unspoken rules, so he simply pushed Jia Baoyu beside him, and several people watched I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart, but it didn't show on my face. They each chose a seat tacitly and sat down. Shi Hong and Shi Ze also sat down on the other side.

After everyone was seated, the head of the troupe came over with the playlist and asked Feng Ziying to order. Feng Ziying handed the playlist to Zhen Baoyu who was sitting on the side. So he clicked on "Garden Tour" and gave it to Jia Baoyu. Jia Baoyu was also a person who didn't know how to be polite, so he clicked on "Dream Startled" and passed the playlist to others.Wealthy families often invite opera troupes, and nothing new has been produced in these years. The opera troupe invited by Feng Ziying is not top-notch either. Although the singing skills are not bad, the mainstays are a bit older, and their figure is not as good as before. After all, most of the opera singers these days are men. As they get older, their skeletons will grow longer and their bones will become harder. Many romantic and charming features will not be apparent. Therefore, several people looked at the list and simply picked a few. For martial arts, Shi Ze even chose "Havoc in Heaven". Anyway, everyone just joins in the fun and gathers together. In this kind of occasion, few people will concentrate all their attention on the stage.

Zhen Baoyu and Jia Baoyu were whispering together, Zhen Baoyu was picking on Zhengdan who was playing Du Liniang on the stage, and Jia Baoyu was also echoing there, and for some reason, he started talking about a group of little actors he had just bought. Feng Ziying smiled and said: "This is prepared for my mother's relatives. Later, we will see and see, and enjoy my mother's glory!" That is to say, but those who know Feng Ziying already know that he is not very happy about it.

Jia Baoyu didn't notice it at all, and was still nodding in agreement. Everyone couldn't help curling their lips in secret, but thinking that Jia's family had a noble concubine, if a dragon son was born in the future, they would not be powerless, even if their relatives couldn't. With real power in his hands, Jia Baoyu, who could barely be regarded as a genuine national uncle, will have a good future in the future. Thinking about it this way, most of the people at the table felt a little sour.Although nepotism doesn't sound good, it's affordable!

Shi Ze was very bored in his heart. Mrs. Fang once told him that Shi Xiangyun had almost made up his mind to marry Jia Baoyu. Cousin-in-law, I'm really aggrieved, and I don't know what Shi Xiangyun likes about this kid. He looks like a woman, so he's unreliable no matter how you look at it.But he also knew that Shi Xiangyun wished to stay in Jia's house from the beginning to the end of the year, his reputation would have been ruined long ago, if he didn't marry Jia Baoyu, he could only marry her far away, and the family would have the reputation of bullying orphans.

Thinking of this, the expression on Shi Ze's face changed a little. Shi Hong was sitting next to him. When he was at home, Shi Ding also said that he didn't have a real brother. Shi Qing was almost abolished by Madam Fang. There is no hope in life. Although Shi Ze has a bit of a temper, there is no problem in guarding the family business. He also said that when he talks about marriage, the historian will prepare to do some activities to fill Shi Ze's vacancy. In the future, the two brothers should also take care of each other. Over the past few years, the previous disputes between Shi Ze and Shi Hong have almost dissipated. His own family is always more reliable than outsiders, so Shi Hong will naturally not hold on to the past.Seeing that Shi Ze was in a bad mood, he gently pulled him to indicate that he was still outside. Seeing Shi Hong, Shi Ze winked, calmed down knowingly, and showed a usual smile on his face.

Zhen Baoyu was sitting diagonally across from them, happened to see him, and didn't know what medicine he had taken wrongly, and suddenly said: "I heard that there was something wrong between the two young masters of the Shi family, but looking at it now, it really is just a rumor!"

Listen, who said it?This was all a few years ago, how many people know?Shi Ze glanced at Jia Baoyu nonchalantly, and then said flatly: "It's just that I was ignorant when I was a child, but the news of the Zhen family is really well-informed, and I can hear things about Chang'an in the south!"

Even if Zhen Baoyu was really a novice, he knew that Shi Ze's words were wrong, and other people looked at Zhen Baoyu with a deep meaning, so he quickly said: "It's just that I heard about it by accident after I came to Chang'an. , I’m afraid I’ve heard it wrong!”

"I got it wrong!" Shi Hong raised the corners of his mouth, "Young Master Zhen is also considered to be from everyone. How could you believe this thing that people say so much! Our historians have always been brothers."

"What's there to say, no one is talking behind their backs!" Feng Ziying laughed and said, "Drink, drink, don't be distracted by these things!"

There was a sinister smile on Shi Ze's face, and he said with a smile: "Today, I'll give Brother Feng some face, let's just forget about it!"

Zhen Baoyu apologized somewhat reluctantly, and everyone continued to exchange cups, and even at Feng Ziying's suggestion, they started to drink with operas, lyrics, and music cards, laughing at Yan Yan one by one, but in private, they had their own ideas.
