A group of people arrived at the village and crossed the bridge. From a distance, they saw the word "wine" rustling in the wind. Although the store was small, it was very elegant. They saw: the front is on the road, and the back is Chengxi.The windows are bright everywhere, and the seats are quiet.Several poles of pruning bamboo are at the end of the small bridge, and a thatched cottage sits deep in the flowers.The green curtains are hung high, fluttering to attract people from Wuling; the white urns are hidden deep, often to save people from the Three Islands.Chrysanthemum spits out autumn flowers in Yuan Liang's house, and Liu Han's wife is in Du Kang's house.

Because everyone from all over the world knew that he was the young master of Yuanwai's family, and the shopkeeper of the restaurant didn't dare to neglect him, so when he saw the boy sent by Zhou Fuxiang and said that he wanted to entertain guests, he hurriedly laid the floor neatly in Liuxiang Pavilion, sprinkled gold Around the table, the mattress with gold locks, and all the things that are not usually brought out have been taken out, and a sumptuous banquet has been prepared.Gui Sheng rare products, full of sea delicacies and mountain delicacies; the cup is filled with fine nectar and jade liquid.

Gradually, all the guests entered the restaurant, and there was a group of friends who had passed the exam in the same exam room as Zhou Fuxiang, and they were half of their classmates. As soon as they entered the door, they drank tea and sipped some tea, and talked a few words about this year's scientific exam. Changing the topic, when it comes to what happened to Jia Shi Wang Xue in recent days, one of them said in shock: "Everyone has not seen the grandeur of the previous four families, let alone the courtyards of the two mansions of Rongning and Ningxia. Usually, if their wives and grandma came out to burn incense and make a wish, they would disturb the whole city and make them unsafe. Now, first the historians are in trouble, then the Wang family is in trouble, and then the young master of the Xue family. Killing people will make people check it out. Even if they bear the title of imperial merchant, they will lose their family business. People say that these four families are all prosperous and the other is ruined. After the noble concubine who went out of their family passed away, their luck became worse day by day. Have you heard that the two elder brothers in their house originally followed us to rush for the exam in the same year, and now only one has come back. There is one that was lost in the middle of the rumor, but do you know?"

Zhou Fuxiang has always been a kind person, and he is not used to gossip about people behind their backs, so he wanted to persuade him to talk less.But the trivia of the aristocratic family has always been talked about in the streets and alleys, so Zhou Fuxiang's dislike does not guarantee that others do not like it. What's more, this happened after the scientific examination was exceptionally selected, and many young people in the village resented the injustice of the world. It was a strange thing, and it happened in the Jia family, one of the four major families. Everyone was very surprised. Qi Qi urged the people who spoke: "I've never heard of this before, so hurry up and tell me."

The man then said: "This matter is really absurd. Didn't the Jia family ransack the house once before? Later, the court thought that their ancestors had served the master loyally, and the second Duke Rong Ning was also quite famous when he was there. I don't want his descendants At this point in desperation, he graciously let go of the position of the Rongguo government master, but the Ningguo government was too disappointing, and was kept in prison and never released. No matter how it involved human life lawsuits afterwards, there is only one title in the government. The elder brother who was born in jade? It is said that his name is Baoyu, and he went to Beijing to catch up with the spring with his elder brother's posthumous son, Jia Lan. Come back. The wives and grandmas in the mansion were very anxious, and sent several groups of people to inquire about the news. The people who didn't meet until the evening replied that Jia Baoyu was lost at the Dragon Gate, and everyone in the mansion was scared to death. Let out the words and say that if you find a lot, you will be rewarded."

The man took a sip of tea slowly when he said this, and he couldn't wait to chase after him and asked: "What happened later, did you find it?"

The man smiled and said: "If you find it, what's the point? I heard that after the young master was lost, both Rongning and Ningfu were punished for the life lawsuit in the old year. It's a good thing to say that I saw this unfilial son on the way of Mr. Zheng's distribution. He was wearing cassock and a broken hat. He went to become a monk with a crazy Taoist priest and a foolish monk. Pity his parents for their hard work After so many years of hard work, when he finally had something to look forward to, he left with nothing to worry about."

Everyone sighed when they heard about it, but Zhou Fuxiang shook his head for a moment and said, "Brother Wen's words are wrong. Since ancient times, many people with lofty ideals have not been in the court and the opposition, or traveled around, or lived in seclusion in famous mountains, not burdened by fame and fortune." .Although the Jia family used to be a noble family, when they are in trouble, if their parents know that he is safe and healthy, they can become a monk.”

Everyone either agreed or disagreed, and laughed it off, and Zhou Fuxiang hurriedly let everyone have a drink.While chatting and laughing with each other, after a round of drinking, the person called 'Brother Wen' said again: "There is another strange thing, it is also about Rongning and Ningfu, do you listen?"

Everyone laughed and said: "You have already said half of what you said, so there is no reason to swallow it back. Let's talk together."

The man then said: "This time it's not about the elder brother of the Jia family, but the sister of the Jia family. We live in this mountain village, and we have never seen how their girls are doing. We just listen to it." All of them are the same as those who came down that day. Needless to say, the girls can write poems and paintings, even the maids who serve the girls are excellent. The number of people inspected in the two mansions that day said that the female family members of the Ningguo Mansion would be confiscated. , Many people went to see it, and when they came back, they said it was a pity that such a fairy-like person is."

Zhou Fuxiang asked strangely: "Why are the female relatives of the Ning Mansion implicated again?"

The man smiled and said: "You know you are really a young master of the boudoir. Think about it for yourself. If the two houses ransacked their homes, how could they only copy the males? Could it be that the female family members are not from the family? The master sent them out, so they naturally You can't escape the fate of being a slave."

As he spoke, he raised his glass with a smile and had a round of drinking with everyone. Zhou Fuxiang sat there suddenly feeling a little unhappy.He was brought up by nurses and maids since he was a child, and compared to men, he deeply felt that women are more dexterous and affectionate, now that he hears that all of them are outstanding figures, he feels very sad.

He was silent there, and everyone seemed to be used to his behavior, so they didn't care.Let's say that Ban'er returned home and handed the medicine to Qing'er to boil, just as Qiao Jie was hiding under the peach tree, scratching her arms and scratching.

Ban'er was curious for a moment, so he walked behind her and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Qiaojie turned around in a hurry, pulled down her sleeves and hid her arms, hesitatingly said: "Let me see if there is any water in the tank, if not, bring some water up."

Ban'er saw her flustered expression, knew that she was lying to him, and looked down at the tank, it was clearly full of water, and there was no sign of needing to lift the water.Then she turned sideways, looked at her hands behind her back, and said: "This tank is full of water, I don't think there is any need to carry it. Go sit in the girl's room."

Sister Qiao pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment before saying: "Grandma just said that there is no need to be so polite between you and me. Since you are older than me, I will be like Qing'er in the future, just call you brother. Brother doesn't have to Call me girl again, just call me Qiaoer."

Ban'er covered his mouth and coughed lightly, feeling a little embarrassed. He wanted to speak a few times, but he never called out. After dawdling for a while, he said in a low voice: "Qiao... Sister Qiao'er, what's wrong with your hand? gone?"

Qiao'er was startled, quickly hid her hands deeper, shook her head and said: "Brother is overthinking, my hands are fine."

Ban'er frowned invisibly, looked up at the budding peach tree, and said suddenly: "Be careful, look at the big green bug on your collar?"

After he bluffed, Qiaojie really jumped up, patted the collar of her shirt hurriedly and said: "What big green bug, take it away, take it away."

Ban'er snickered and said nothing, then looked at her hand, saw a few bright red marks on it, and even the exposed jade arm was red, the corners of her lips could not help but sternly pursed, clutching Qiaojie's hand. The wrist said: "There are no bugs, I coax you to be stubborn, but what's the matter with your hand?"

Knowing that there were no bugs, Fang took a breath and stood up straight. Faced with Baner's doubts, she couldn't help but blushed and said, "Probably it was pulled by the firewood while burning the firewood just now. I'm afraid that Qing'er will make a fuss when she sees it, and grandma won't be alarmed." Okay. Since my brother saw it, I have to ask you, just pretend that I don’t know, it’s not a big deal, I’m so ashamed to panic.”

Ban'er frowned, took her hand over silently and looked at it carefully, he only thought in his heart that it was Miss Hou Men after all, it was just the time to make tea, and he could hurt his hands like this, luckily he didn't ask her to do anything else Otherwise, I don't know what's going to happen.While thinking about it, he sighed and said with a helpless smile: "You are too careless, let Qing'er do the work, what else do you mix in. There are still a few pieces of silk that were cut in the old days, I'll get it for you and wrap it up." As she said that, she was about to go into the house, but Qiao Jie took a step in a panic and blocked his way: "Don't go, won't this place have 300 taels of silver if you wrap it up? I will endure it for a few days until he heals on his own."

Ban'er heard that he stopped to look at her blankly, Qiaojie made him feel uncomfortable, so he hurriedly excused himself to help Qing'er, turned around and walked away.Standing under the peach tree, Yu Yu Ban'er watched the slender figure go away, and a smile appeared unconsciously.

Because of this injury, sister Qiao didn't dare to stretch out her hands to pick up vegetables when she was eating, and she only dared to pick the same spicy cabbage in front of her and eat it with her wrists tucked away.Ban'er knew that it was inconvenient for her, so he inevitably picked up some more vegetables and piled them up in front of Qiaojie. Grandma Liu, Wang Liushi and others looked at them. Well, Qiao'er's younger sister is more affectionate than her direct sister, and Qiao'er becomes more and more ashamed when she talks about it.

After lunch, Ban'er saw that there was nothing to be busy at home, and Grandma Liu looked much better after drinking the medicine. Thinking of today's appointment with Zhou Fuxiang, although the hour has passed, it would be bad not to go.He told Qing'er to go out, and secretly called sister Qiao behind everyone's back, telling her not to do any more work.

Here I went to Zhuangzi, and it happened that Zhou Fuxiang and the others also came back after eating wine. When the wind blew, they felt depressed and uncomfortable, so they just lay down on the kang.Hearing that Ban'er was coming, he hurriedly asked the boy to call him in.
