I am a man in a dream

This day, Lin Hongming had just finished his morning exercise and was about to change his clothes to greet Jia Mu. Shi Xiangyun and Baoyu came together. Baoyu saw that Lin Hongming was sweating profusely, so he said, "Brother Lin's beating this reminds me of someone." Lin Hongming asked with a smile: " Who is it?" Baoyu said: "Last year, Qin Zhong and I met a young man in a theater troupe. He happened to be a chivalrous man with high martial arts skills. People called him Liu Xianglian. It's a pity that a few days ago, he wandered around Si Hai has gone, and when he comes back, Brother Lin must get to know him well." Lin Hongming smiled and said, "I've heard of Second Brother Liu's name, and he is indeed a loyal person. If Mr. Liu comes back, at least I will introduce him to him. After hearing this, Baoyu quickly agreed.

Shi Xiangyun said: "Brother Lin is the most busy studying and taking scientific exams, so it's fine if you don't study, and you don't make friends with some people who are officials and butchers. You hang out with us all day or get to know some high-ranking scholars, but you don't have any calculations in your heart. When Baoyu heard this, his face suddenly fell, and he said sharply: "Since that's the case, don't play with me, girl, so as not to delay your future. I am not as good as Brother Lin, and I am the most worthless." After hearing this, Shi Xiangyun was not angry, and continued, "If you say that, you will scold Brother Lin together." Lin Hongming didn't care when he heard it. Kind-hearted, it is rare to have some new ideas, even some poems and articles nowadays are just rotten people, and there are few deafening voices.

It is said that on the day of Baochai's birthday, Mother Jia set up a few tables of wine in the garden and invited Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue, Daiyu, Lin Hongming, Youshi, Li Wan, three sisters Tanchun, Shi Xiangyun and Baoyu.Naturally, the number of banquets was more than that of Daiyu's birthday, so Daiyu was always depressed.Lin Hongming saw it, so he couldn't directly comfort him, so he had to talk about other topics: "Why hasn't my sister used up the blood swallow a few days ago? But I don't feel comfortable using it?" Daiyu said lightly: "It's very good to use, but today My body is better, and I can sleep more peacefully at night, so I use less." Lin Hongming nodded: "Although she is better, my sister's body is still a little thinner than ordinary people, and she still needs blood to boost her energy." Mother Jia listened Liao also said, "What boy Ming said is true." Baoyu said, "But sister Lin's complexion is indeed better." Jia Mu listened and looked at Daiyu with joy in her eyes. Mother Jia thought it was Baochai's birthday, so she should order it, so she handed her the playbook and said, "Today is your good day, order two plays you like." Ken smiled and said, "Maybe the old lady will order two good plays for us." Mother Jia naturally refused, but Aunt Xue said when she saw her, "Since the old lady asked you to order, you can order two." Baochai After listening to it, Fang clicked "Drunk Beating the Mountain Gate".Jia's mother was very happy, and Baoyu became tired and lazy when she saw it: "Sister Bao, why did you choose this play?" Baochai had to perfunctoryly say: "This play has a good stage, and the rhetoric is better." I love these lively dramas." Baochai saw that he didn't like it, and explained: "If you say it's a lively drama, you don't understand the order. This is a set of "Dian Crimson Lips", which is sonorous and frustrating, and the rhythm is wonderful. Say, there is only one piece of "Parasitic Grass" in the rhetoric, which is very well written, do you know?" Baoyu suddenly became curious when he heard this, and then he came up and begged: "My dear sister, you want to listen to me." Baoyu Chai then read:

Soak up the hero's tears, and leave the family.Xie Ci was ordained under the lotus platform.There is no way to separate in a blink of an eye.Naked come and go without care.Where is it a single line to discuss smoke, rain, hats and hats?Once my straw shoes break the waves and follow the fate!

Baoyu patted his knees and praised: "There is nothing to worry about when you are naked. It is really a good word. Sister Bao really reads and knows everything." Daiyu was even more angry. She glanced at Baoyu and said, "Be quiet and watch the theater." Come on, you haven't sung "Mountain Gate", but you're singing "Masquerade Madness"." Shi Xiangyun laughed when he said that.So everyone listened to the opera, and at the end of the night, Jia's mother loved the Xiaodan and the clown very much, so she ordered someone to bring them in, asked their names and ages, and rewarded them with money.Sister Feng looked at it and said with a smile, "This child looks like a person." When Baochai saw it, she knew it in her heart, but she just smiled and refused to say it. Baoyu guessed it too, and dared not say it.Lin Hongming took a look, smiled slightly, and said, "There are so many similar people in the world, it's just their looks. A few days ago, I went riding a horse in the suburbs, and I saw a boy with red lips and white teeth. At first glance, I thought it was Brother Bao. I chased after him and yelled to stop, thinking about it now I still feel embarrassed." Everyone laughed after hearing this, Shi Xiangyun wanted to say that he looked like Daiyu, but Lin Hongming distracted him for a while, so he didn't say anything.

I just celebrated Xue Baochai's birthday yesterday, and the whole family had a lively day, and today it is even more joyful. Chun Wei announced the list, and the servant rushed to report: "Second master is very happy! Second master is very happy!" Lin Hongming just came out of Daiyu , Shouted: "What is worth shouting about like this?" Qian Qing was so happy that he kowtowed and said: "The second master will try to get the first place, No. 2 in the first class, and the younger one will guard it early in the morning, the first place in the list." When I posted it, I opened my eyes wide and looked at it, and just after taking a look, I saw the name of the second master, isn't it a great happy event?" Jia Lian had already received the news, and was ordered to invite Lin Hongming to meet him in the front hall Jia Zheng and everyone.Lin Hongming hadn't been very close to Jia Zhengzheng since he had a disagreement with Jia Zhengzheng before. Seeing him coming to invite him now, although he despised his actions in his heart, he had to go because of the affection of his relatives.

The news of Lin Hongming's high school spread throughout Jia's house, and everyone came to congratulate him, even Aunt Zhao, who had never been close to her, took Jia Huan to say a few polite words, Lin Hongming didn't make it difficult for them, and gave Jia Huan some things With two hanging money, the two went happily.As for Daiyu's place, it was even more lively. The sisters and girls gathered in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, singing and laughing constantly.Jia's mother was even more delighted, and ordered Sister Feng to set up several tables in the evening. The whole family gathered together to eat, drink, talk and laugh. Only Mrs. Wang looked indifferently, looked at Baoyu, and sighed.Aunt Xue said with a smile: "We only say that Miss Lin is outstanding, but this elder brother is not inferior. They are really two brothers and sisters." Jia Mu laughed and said, "My two children are good." Baochai Looking at Lin Hongming, she lowered her head and didn't know what to think. After a while, she turned to Daiyu and said, "Sister Lin is really lucky, Brother Lin is also up to date, and my sister will be a noble person in the future." Said: "It can be seen that a good brother is of many uses." Only Baoyu felt bored and listlessly said, "Brother Lin has gone, and there are fewer joking people in the garden." Jia Mu said angrily, "What do you know, you Lin My elder brother must be a new nobleman in the Hanlin, so I have to get busy, how can I keep playing around in the garden." Tanchun agreed most, and she who had never paid attention to Daiyu also took care of her.Sister Feng is the best at joking and flattering: "Brother Lin is an honored person this time, pity us we are so hard to see." Lin Hongming said with a smile: "Sister Feng made fun of it. I thought in my heart that there would be more encounters in one day, I'm afraid that my sister will dislike me and don't want to see each other." Sister Feng bent down and laughed loudly: "Sister Lin has a sharp mouth, brother Lin is also a coincidence Open your mouth."

The next day, the guards came to announce the good news and set a date to see the Holy Majesty. Mother Jia gave tea and money.Concubine Yuan also sent eunuchs to greet her and reward her with gifts.Lin Hongming thanked them one by one, and after a day, he packed his clothes and went back to his yard, preparing to go to the palace to meet the king in three days.The Holy Majesty tested his talents in the hall, and Lin Hongming performed very well. It is even rarer that his manners are elegant but not feminine, his words are generous and not vassal, and his sacred heart is very happy. He is a bachelor of the Imperial Academy and is responsible for drafting the imperial edict. Private", the Jia family was even more happy when they received the letter, and they went to invite each other in three to five days. Lin Hongming kept a low profile and didn't want to cause trouble, so he often declined on the grounds of his busy business.On this day, Concubine Yuan's Mid-Autumn Festival rewards came down. Lin Hongming looked at the list and asked, "What do the others have?" After Qianqing answered one by one, he added: "There is no such thing as Master Zhen or Grandma from the East Mansion. , from the Elder Master, Eldest Wife, Eldest Grandma, Aunt Zhao, Third Master Huan, and Brother Lang in the West Mansion." Lin Hongming asked again, "Where are the girls?" Qian Qing said: "We have as many girls as there are girls in Bao, and the girls in Jia's Mansion only have fans. And Shuzhu, there is nothing else." Lin Hongming shook his head after hearing this, and secretly sighed that Concubine Yuan could not do anything. When Concubine Yuan was visiting relatives, Jia Zhen and You Shi did no less than Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng, but the rewards were not. , It's really chilling, and moreover, the rewards are originally for celebration, and it's just to separate the seniority, why bother to divide people into three, six, and nine grades, won't there be dissatisfaction and family splits after a long time?

Seeing that the weather was getting hotter and Daiyu was too weak to go out, Lin Hongming was worried that his sister sent Yaqi to visit.When I entered the door, I saw that Zijuan was serving the girl with soup, so he said, "Just in time for the girl to drink soup, it happened that the second master ordered me to bring the soup to relieve the heat. The girl will feel better after using it." Zijuan asked: " What heat-relieving soup is so effective, and the second master still let you come here in the hot summer? There is nothing else in Jia's mansion, isn't there even this bowl of heat-relieving soup?" Yaqi laughed and said: "You little hoof What do you know. This is the passion fruit from the south, which is peeled and cut into pieces and stored in the sun. In the hot weather, add lemon and chrysanthemum to boil for an hour and let it cool down. Take a sip, it’s so refreshing.” Zijuan listened Worrying: "Our girl is weak, can she stand the cold?" Yaqi smiled and said: "Don't worry, what you can think of, can't the second master not think of it? This is warm, and it is the most soothing and righteous." The second master even gave the old lady two packs." Zijuan said happily: "That's kind! Thanks to the second master, the girl's health is much better, she sleeps soundly at night, and eats more. What's rare is that there are fewer tears." Yaqi also laughed and said: "Our second master never forgets the girl in his heart, as long as the girl gets better, the second master will feel relieved." Daiyu listened to them talking more and more , Angrily said: "You have exhausted all the things in the world." Yaqi said: "Your servant is just telling the truth. Miss, you see, as soon as we arrived in Xiali, the second master ordered me to bring summer clothes to the girl." Daiyu looked at it, and found that the patterns and materials were all very good, and they were all styles she liked. She was moved in her heart: "My brother is so busy on weekdays, and he still worries about me. If you take me with you, let him worry less on weekdays. Take care of yourself."

The three of them chatted for a while, seeing that it was getting dark, Daiyu said: "I won't keep you for dinner, I think my brother is going home soon, so you don't feel at ease, go home quickly. Tianyue It's getting dark, let the mansion send a car to take you off." Yaqi said: "Brother Qianqing came to Jia's mansion to deliver something to Lian Erye, I came with him, girl don't have to worry." Daiyu heard Fang give up.Predict what will happen next, and listen to the next chapter to break it down.
