The eldest grandson of the Red Chamber

On the few times that Mingxu visited Jia's residence, Baoyu happened to be "inconvenient" to meet guests, or was not at the residence.Mingxu also didn't have any idea of ​​taking a look at the famous person, so the two of them had an inexplicable tacit understanding.

Now that they met unexpectedly, Mingxu's eyes lingered on Baoyu for a while, he was dressed in brocade clothes, his face was shining brightly, his brows and eyes were full of smiles, he was a young man, and he looked like a good son of an aristocratic family.

Mingxu recognized Baoyu, but Baoyu had never seen Mingxu before. He followed Xue Pan into the house, and at a glance he saw several handsome young men with different looks, his eyes were busy, and his hands were still on Xue Pan. On the sleeves of the pan clothes, the words rolled to the lips but forgot to say.

But there is no need for him to say anything at this time, Xue Pan was stunned when he entered the door, but he reacted quickly, immediately changed his expression, approached with a smile: "I often come to this building, it is so boring on weekdays, I don't want to meet a few brothers today, but I happened to be sitting at the same table, so it can be seen that it is said in the play that the golden wind and the jade dew meet, and the fate is destined." He said, looking back at the stunned Xiaoer outside the door, and said loudly : "What are you doing, you are still in a daze, you still haven't brought the wine, set up a banquet, today I invite a few new friends to drink, this room will be charged to my account today."

As Xue Pan said, he was about to go to the table, and found a seat for himself to sit down.This self-talking ability is really, quite embarrassing.However, most of you here have heard of Uncle Xue's name, and it's quite easy to accept the move.

Wei Wen passed Xue Pan and looked behind him, frowning slightly: "Ziying?"

Hearing this, Ming Xu followed his line of sight, and saw a young man in dark red clothes leaning on the door frame standing behind Baoyu. This man had stood with arms folded since he entered the door, smiling as if it had nothing to do with him. A farce.At this time, being called by name, he restrained his expression, and came forward to salute with a smile: "Are you meeting friends here?" What a coincidence.

Wei Wen bowed his head in return: "Ziying is idle." The words seemed to mean something, but no one cared, but Xue Pan laughed and said after hearing the conversation between the two: "Since he is Brother Feng's brother, then he is my brother." Now, I have to ask Brother Feng to introduce him."

Fu Wen didn't answer his words, Feng Ziying held the folding fan in her hand to her chin, and smiled casually: "Since I met someone, there is still a formality, let's get acquainted with each other, and we will be famous when we meet again. "

Xue Pan was already tired of this reserved manner, Feng Ziying said so, immediately acted as the master and greeted his friends to sit down, and after finishing speaking, he wanted to pull Song Feng's hand beside him and talk to him.

Song Feng is a bohemian, has a strange temper, and is quite careless.But after all, he was born in Qingliu, an official, and he is a direct descendant. He has studied Confucian classics since he was a child, and he looks broad-minded, but he is pure and noble inside. He already looked down on Xue Pan, and seeing that he was acting arrogant and frivolous, he simply sneered and stood up. get up.

"Young Master Xue is heroic." Song Feng glanced at Jia Baoyu as he spoke. He had seen this before, and because of his cousin, he knew him very well. "It's just that we have different paths in the end. I'm afraid we won't have time to see each other in the future. Today's move is really unnecessary."

These words were harsh, but Xue Pan and his party were rude first, so they couldn't just let it go, otherwise what would happen if it was spread out.But Xue Pan is so thick-skinned that he doesn't feel embarrassed talking to himself.As the saying goes, you don't hit a smiley face with your hand, so it would be mean to speak sarcasticly at this time.

Wei Wen looked at the expressions of several friends, then exchanged glances with Mingxu, and said before Xue Pan got angry: "A certain friend and some friends came early, they were full of wine and food, and talked for a long time. Mingxu has already returned home , I think there will be a lot of leisure in the future, and friends will get together for a while, and it’s getting late today, so I won’t stay any longer. Thank you Mr. Xue for your kindness.”

Xue Pan became angry when he heard Song Feng's words, but he was not prepared to turn his back on him. He has always been patient and lenient when dealing with beauties.Seeing that they were about to leave, he would not let them go.

Holding back Baoyu, who was stunned, he smiled and said, "Brother, what you said is not sincere. How late is it today? You're not a little lady. There is a gate control at home, so I'd better go back later." At the end, he was taken aback, as if thinking of something . "This is brother Ming Xuming." He slapped his thigh, "You should know this, the second brother Bao from Rongguo Mansion. Speaking of which, it was really flooding the Dragon King Temple, isn't it just a family, I should follow Brother Bao to call Brother Ming said brother-in-law."

Baoyu froze on the spot when he heard this sentence without defense. Before he recovered, he heard his cousin calling for his brother-in-law. Don't blame me, my elder brother has always spoken freely, but he has no bad intentions, he is a good one." He did not want to admit to this marriage in his own selfishness, but he could not make mistakes in terms of etiquette.

"Brother Jia, you're welcome." Mingxu returned the greeting, and said the first thing since they entered the door, "How are you, old lady? It's been two years since I left the Rongfu last time. Today, my days back in Beijing are short. Wait for me to settle down. Should visit."

Baoyu hadn't recovered from the shock, and heard the words: "Brother Ming will go on his own."

Seeing the two of them exchanging polite greetings, Xue Pan thought that Ming Xu's attitude was softening, and he was about to come forward and hold hands to make him sit down, but Ming Xu flicked his sleeves lightly to avoid it.

"Brother, you are being polite. It's just that it's getting late. It's been a long time since I've been out. It's time to go home." Ming Xu's expression was indifferent.

"It's really disappointing, but since Brother Ming opened his mouth, Lao Xue should give this face, why don't we make an appointment tomorrow, I think it's not too late tomorrow?" Xue Pan restrained his smile, his face darkened.

Feng Ziying was still leaning against the door frame, looking around at the people with rolling eyes, not saying a word.

"Although we don't have access control like a young lady, we are no less free than Your Excellency. Brother Xue may not know it. The schoolwork in the prison is complicated, and there is less rest and bathing. I'm afraid it's rare to come out and sit in Linxiantai again." Song Feng smiled. Feeling slightly cold.

This is not pleasant to say, and Baoyu felt uncomfortable when he heard it. Although he did not approve of studying to become an official, he actively pursued his career, but he was bathed in words such as being smart and talented since childhood, and now he is ridiculed for being idle, ignorant, Sullen in his heart, it came out on his face.Before he could speak, Xue Pan kicked the stool next to him, making a loud noise.

This has always been praised by others, and there is room for others to show off again and again, but it is because of their good looks that they have given some people some face, and they are so rampant, when has Uncle Xue been wronged like this.

"I used to be a scholar, and I have met a lot of scholars. Not to mention, my brother Bao has a saying called 'lu beetle'. Since you study hard and rarely meet your brother, why don't you take it easy? My brother Bao He is the grandson of Duke Rong of the Rongguo Mansion, and he wants the title, but it is only a matter of one word, to make the elder brother happy, and also to reward the future, wouldn't it be hard work and resentment?"

Seeing everyone staring at him, Xue Pan purposely spoke out of tune, leaning on the table with his legs crossed, and coupled with his domineering demeanor, he was simply a playboy straight out of a storybook.However, he thinks that he will act both hard and soft, coercing and coercing, and he is very proud of himself.

As soon as these words came out, the room fell silent.

To a certain extent, everyone was indeed shocked by him, but it was really not a domineering spirit.Mingxu turned his head to look at Baoyu first.

Being preempted by Xue Pan, Baoyu was unable to speak, but the anger in his heart was inexplicably dissipated at the moment, and instead, he felt ashamed because he used the words he said in his boudoir.

"Uncle Xue is really majestic. He only speaks without evidence, and it is difficult to tell the truth from the false. Why don't you tell us how to handle this "one-sentence matter" so that we can open our eyes." The speaker was Li Yan, his uncle. He is a speech officer and has the responsibility of supervision.He was the first to recover from the astonishment and grasped the point.

"It's so difficult, but just give me an order, and the people below will do it myself." Xue Pan didn't realize it, and followed suit.Seemingly seeing that Li Yan and the others didn't believe it, Xue Pan's handsome, wretched-looking young man interjected, "Lai Shangrong, the grandson of Nanny Lai, who is served by the old lady in the mansion, is because of the east wind in the mansion. Changed the door and made a county night." The young man's words were full of envy for Lai Shangrong's good life.

Li Yan, Mingxu and others looked at each other, the two of them didn't say anything real, but it didn't seem to be a violation, and I'm afraid they didn't know the details of the transaction inside.I can't help but secretly sigh in my heart, there are rules in the officialdom, and even one hair will affect the whole body, although there is nothing I can do, but I can't find out one or two just because of this.However, it does not lose a handle.

"It's really majestic, but my family is very strict, and my parents may not allow it. It's better to study hard. It's a novelty to talk about it." Wei Wen's tone was inexplicable.

That's right, Wei Wen's father and ancestors were both Jinshi scholars, heirs of poetry and etiquette, and the Tai Tuo has the responsibility of teaching and enlightening, but it's the first time I heard this saying, isn't it just a novelty.

"It's really pedantic. If you don't take the easy way, but insist on sticking to the rules, isn't that the poor guy." Seeing that several people were serious about what they promised, Xue Pan didn't curse out loud.

"Engage in the economy, tend to be attached to official career and fame, but stick to the rules, don't know how to change, stubborn and boring." Baoyu raised his eyes and looked straight at Mingxu, and said in a low voice: "Lu beetle's theory is just my little brother's opinion, it is difficult to be elegant.Now that I saw Brother Ming, I happened to ask, "Brother Ming, what do you mean by 'most of the heartless people are scholars'?"

Mingxu was a little surprised, Baoyu is not a brainless person, but what he said is a bit too much, it offends others.But after thinking about it, this person directly attacked him, could it be that his uncle was dissatisfied with his brother-in-law?In addition to the last sentence, it can be called a young man's joke when he said it later.If it is true, it will be boring.

if you serious you lose.Besides, Ming Xu really didn't have any idea about the "Lu Xi" talk, so how could he be irritated.The environment creates character, Jia's is like this, and Baoyu's thinking like this is not wrong. Maybe it's because he listens to too many dramas?

"Several generations of hairpin tassels in the Rongguo Mansion have been extremely honorable and noble. Brother Jia is an elegant scholar. He was romantic in ancient times and innocent. I am educated and educated, have a good career, and have advanced in officialdom. Compared with Brother Jia, I am a mediocre person." Ming Xuqian Laughter, "I have the sufferings of the people in my heart, and I also have the ambition to rise to the clouds. Brother Jia is very affectionate and human, but it's just that the way is different and we don't seek each other."

The situation of the Jia family allowed Jia Baoyu to be "ignorant and incompetent", and he was not the eldest son, so he didn't have to ask too much, just like Xue Pan.There is nothing wrong with being a romantic and elegant person.Anyway, there are many such people in the family.Even from another perspective, Mingxu admires Baoyu, but that's all, it's still the same sentence, the way is different.

"It's mostly the scholars who don't hold back their opinions and follow what others say. From the nobles to the common people, there are too many counterexamples. It's really nonsense." Ming Xu avoided the important things and didn't talk too much.

Seeing Ming Xu's salute and gesture, Bao Yu looks back and gives way.Sure enough, this person couldn't communicate. He seemed to have a good temper, but he was slippery and difficult to distinguish. Sister Lin probably didn't like it.

Seeing that he stopped answering, Ming Xu and his friends signaled and walked away slowly.Next, it is inconvenient for him to be present, one party is a friend and the other party is an in-law, the situation is awkward, nothing can happen to the left and right, so let's withdraw first.

The author has something to say:

Baoyu: Reading is useless.

Mingxu: Heh, if you read two more books, you won't say that.

Baoyu: Hmph, vulgar person, sister Lin understands me.

Mingxu: (touching his head) Silly boy.
