[Red House + Space] Falling Spring

In front of the Feng family school field, Feng Ziying, dressed in strong attire, draws a bow and shoots an arrow, and pulls the bowstring with her hand. An arrow flies out and hits the red heart of the target [-] meters away.Snapped!Snapped!I don’t know when a handsome young man came from the sidelines. Seeing the scene in front of him, he clapped his hands and applauded: “Good arrow skills.” He said as he walked towards Feng Ziying, “I haven’t seen you for a long time, Brother Feng’s arrow skills have improved even more. .”

Feng Ziying saw the person coming, smiled happily, threw the bow in his hand to the hand of the servant next to him, laughed to meet him, stretched out his hand and punched him, and said with a smile: "Which gust of wind brought you here? Come on, why didn't you tell me in advance, these servants of our family don't know how to behave poorly, fortunately, brother Liu, you are not an outsider, otherwise, wouldn't people laugh at my Feng family's way of hospitality?"

While talking, the two entered the flower hall hand in hand, where the guests and hosts were seated. Feng Ziying offered tea and asked with a smile, "Xianglian, when did you come back? How long do you plan to stay in Beijing this time?"

Liu Xianglian picked up the teacup and took a sip, and replied: "It's been a while since I've been back. I don't know how long I can stay in Beijing. It's not like you don't know me. I'm a crab without legs. , maybe one day we will be interested together, why don't we just leave."

Hearing this, Feng Ziying shook her head helplessly, and sighed: "You bastard. When did you run around like this? You've reached the age of starting a family. Didn't you think of getting married and settling down? "

"Get married?" Liu Xianglian repeated these two words thoughtfully, her expression was in a trance for a moment, then she came back to her senses and said with a smile: "I haven't thought about this problem yet. How comfortable I am now , One person is full and the whole family is not hungry, you can go wherever you want, unrestrained, how wonderful. Once you have a family, how can you be as free as you are now, so don’t worry.”

Feng Ziying laughed and said: "Haha, what you said is duplicity. We had a drink together in the first month of this year. At that time, you said that you wanted to marry a stunning woman. Why did you become not in a hurry?"

Liu Xianglian smiled and said: "How can you take it seriously if you're just drunk for a while?" With a bitter smile, she said: "Like me, I can't succeed in literature or martial arts, my family is ruined, and my parents are bereaved. Even if I say relatives, what can I do?" Good family!"

Feng Ziying heard Liu Xianglian's words with a sense of despondency, which seemed a little out of character. It didn't fit his bold personality that never cared about everything. He couldn't help but said: "Xianglian, what's wrong with you, this is not like you. You never cared about these things here, and when we were with us, I didn’t see you feel uncomfortable because of your family’s decline, but I will listen to you..." He was a little puzzled at first, but after careful consideration After listening to Liu Xianglian's words, my mind turned and I thought of something, and suddenly realized: "Could it be that you met a lovely girl during your travels, but this girl's family background is extraordinary, and her parents dislike you very much..."

"Don't guess, it's nothing." Liu Xianglian hurriedly interrupted Feng Ziying and denied it.He didn't want to discuss this with Feng Ziying, so he changed the subject: "Everyone doesn't know about my return this time, and I was too lazy to notify each one. I thought it would be better to set a time for everyone to get together. You can help me with this matter." Get it done."

Feng Ziying had doubts in her heart at first, and she wasn't sure, but seeing Liu Xianglian's hastily denying her attitude, she felt more and more that her guess was correct, so she felt very sorry for Liu Xianglian, but even if he knew about it, there was nothing he could do about it. It's not up to him to intervene in the solution, and Liu Xianglian clearly didn't want to talk about it. He was sensible and didn't continue to hold on to the original topic, so as not to sprinkle salt on Liu Xianglian's wound.Hearing what Liu Xianglian said, he hurriedly patted his chest and agreed: "No problem, I'll take care of it."

When Baoyu came back from school, Xiren handed him a post and said, "Second Master, this is sent by Feng Ziying, son of General Shenwu, after Second Master left for school. Please come and have a good time with us in the future." Baoyu After receiving the post and looking at it, he was pleasantly surprised and said with a smile, "Great, brother Liu is back!" He said to Qin Zhong who was beside him, "Jing Qing, you will go to a banquet with me in the future, and I will introduce someone to you." You know him. His name is also very romantic and unique. His surname is Liu and his name is Xianglian. Beijing, so I have never had the chance to introduce you to each other, now that he is back, Feng Ziying posted another post, just in time to meet him."

At the beginning, because of his father's strict requirements and studying at home, Qin Zhong didn't meet many outsiders of the same age. After meeting Baoyu, under Baoyu's introduction, he met many children from aristocratic families. He is very popular among his disciples. With the praise of everyone, coupled with the fact that there are very few people who have seen him and himself, he is quite proud of himself.Seeing Baoyu admiring Liu Xianglian so much now, I feel a little unconvinced in my heart, I want to see if the other party is as good as Baoyu said, and I also hope to get to know a student with outstanding appearance, so that I can have another companion in the future So I'm very excited.

When it was time for the banquet, the teacher Jia Dai had something to do with the Confucian family that day, and the students left school early, so Baoyu and Qin Zhong ran back to Jia's mansion happily.Qin Zhong changed his clothes at Baoyu's and sent someone to bring a message to his father Qin Ye. He only said that he wanted to work hard, and he still lives in Jia's mansion today.After the arrangement was made, he went out to the banquet with Baoyu.

The two brought their servants to the restaurant they had agreed upon, and when they arrived in front of the restaurant, there was already a shop guy waiting outside the door.Seeing him coming, he hurriedly led the horse and led the horse, but instead of going to the main entrance, he entered a small ebony door in the backyard.Baoyu and Qin Zhong waited for their horses to get off, and others came to meet them, and greeted the young servants who followed to go to another house for a drink.He saw that the stables were already full of horses, and there were three or four horses with different tempers neighing and trying to bite each other.After Baoyu saw it, he stumbled and sighed: "Oh, it's too bad. I don't know if it's because I'm late? If I'm late, I will be caught and punished by them."

Seeing his appearance, Qin Zhong smiled and said, "Even if you were punished for drinking two more glasses, why do you do that?" Baoyu said with a bitter face, "Hey, you don't know, they drink as much as ours They are different." While speaking, servants led the two of them to a small building.This was originally a small courtyard set aside separately for the private use of guests who like to be quiet, and the private room is located upstairs.Seeing them coming up, the people standing at the door hurriedly drew up the curtain.Baoyu and Qin Zhong hadn't entered yet, when someone came out with a smile on their faces: "It can be regarded as coming!"

That person was Feng Ziying. Ever since Qin Zhong met Baoyu, he had known all the children of the aristocratic families that Baoyu had been with, except for the Liu Xianglian he was talking about.So Qin Zhong didn't feel strange seeing Feng Ziying at this time, the three of them stood at the door and exchanged greetings, then heard a voice inside saying: "Since you are here, why don't you come in, what are you doing standing at the door, if you have something to say, Come in and sit down, there is nothing to say. Come and drink."

The three of them went in.The people present here are descendants of aristocratic families like Feng Ziying, and Qin Zhong recognizes them all. He has greeted them one by one, but even if there are some who he does not recognize, Baoyu also tells him quietly.Suddenly, he saw a handsome and handsome young man sitting on the left side of the main seat. Although Baoyu hadn't said anything yet, Qin Zhong inexplicably decided that this person should be Liu Xianglian, whom Baoyu wanted to introduce to him, so he leaned close to Baoyu's ear. Bian whispered: "You said you would recommend me, but the senior brother sitting on the left?"

Baoyu smiled and said, "That's right. Jingqing has a good eye, and she recognized her at a glance before I introduced him." He said hello to Liu Xianglian, and then introduced Qin Zhong and Liu Xianglian to each other.Liu Xianglian stood up from her seat with a calm expression, bowed her hands to salute Qin Zhong, and Qin Zhong naturally returned the courtesy.Afterwards, everyone sat down, whether they had a match or not, talked about the customs, and tasted the food and wine.

Because Baoyu and Qin Zhong came late, they were caught and sentenced to drink. Although Baoyu bargained, it was finally agreed that each of them had a drink, and he had two sips.Even if it is so, it is not enough to have two or three points of wine after taking turns to toast at the table, only to feel that the cheeks are hot and fluttering.After two rounds of wine, Baoyu was overwhelmed, her cheeks flushed, her eyes fluttered, and her speech became slurred.

At the banquet, Liu Xianglian saw Baoyu's appearance, her heart moved, she got up and went out, Wei Ruolan grabbed him and asked, "What are you going to do?" Liu Xianglian said, "I don't want to eat right now." Drinking, I have a headache, the room is very noisy, I need to find a quiet place to rest for a while. I will go out and have a rest." Passing by Baoyu, he asked with a smile: "I think Brother Bao is getting drunk. , would you like to go out with me for a rest?"

Baoyu was feeling dizzy at this moment, so she nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, okay." After speaking, she got up and was about to go out, but because she was drunk, her feet fluttered and she staggered, if Liu Xianglian hadn't been quick to hold her back If you miss him, you have to throw yourself to the ground.Seeing Baoyu like this, Feng Ziying also knew that he was drunk, so she hurriedly said, "I remember there is a Nuan Pavilion here, Xianglian, take Baoyu to rest there."

Liu Xianglian brought Baoyu outside, and did not go directly to the Nuan Pavilion to rest, but blew the wind outside for a while, waited for the waiter at the door to bring sober soup, served Baoyu to drink it, and then the two came to the nearby Nuan Pavilion Take a break.When the two entered, refreshments had already been set up in the Nuan Pavilion, Liu Xianglian turned away from the servants serving in the room, and asked, "How about it, do you want someone to bring over the hangover stones or another bowl of hangover soup?"

Baoyu rubbed her temples with her hands, shook her head and said, "I've just drank hangover soup, and I'll be fine if I stay for a while. In fact, I'm not drunk, but because I drank too quickly and on an empty stomach, the smell of alcohol is on my face. So it looks like I'm drunk, but I'm actually fine, and I'm fine with another round of drinking."

Liu Xianglian saw that Baoyu's face was as red as rouge, and her eyes were astringent, but she insisted that she was fine, knowing that he was trying to be brave.Discussing whether or not to get drunk with a drunk is the most meaningless thing, so he didn't argue with Baoyu.When I was with Baoyu before, from Baoyu's words, I could hear that the family was still very strict with him. Thinking of Baoyu's drunk appearance today, Liu Xianglian couldn't help but asked with concern: "Will you be here later?" Is it okay for you to go back like this after the breakup?"

Baoyu waved his hand indifferently and said, "No problem." Facing Liu Xianglian's concerned eyes, he grinned and said, "Don't worry, it's all right, don't worry. At worst, I'll run to Sixth Sister to hide, and wait Just go back when the smell of alcohol dissipates."

"Sixth sister?" Liu Xianglian's heart tightened when she heard Baoyu mention his sister, and she murmured in a low voice.Baoyu hiccupped and said: "Yes, you don't know, my sisters and sisters are very outstanding, Yuxiu, the essence of heaven and earth, gave birth to these outstanding people, and now these few are all unique. No one can compare. Sister Bao is dignified and elegant; Sister Lin is elegant and ethereal; Second sister is gentle and amiable; Third sister is delicate and intelligent; So much so that even though she is the same age as the fourth younger sister, she thinks a lot and is mature..." Thinking of the fight in school and Qin Zhong being injured, Baoyu laughed, "Although the sixth younger sister seems to be indifferent to others, in fact Cold on the outside and hot on the inside, hard-spoken and soft-hearted, and actually very courageous..." The voice behind the words gradually faded to almost inaudible, and Baoyu fell asleep on the couch.

When Baoyu talked about the sisters in his family, those beautiful eyes appeared in Liu Xianglian's mind. He knew that there were some things he should not think about, but he just couldn't control his restless heart. Speaking of his sister, he knew that this was not what he should listen to, and when Baoyu spoke, no matter from the perspective of social rules or Baoyu's friends, he had better stop Baoyu from talking, but he didn't, but couldn't help it. He pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

Following Baoyu's description, Liu Xianglian tried to rule out and guess the other party's identity.It's just that Baoyu's words are too general, and they are all praiseworthy words, it's really hard to judge, and when it comes to the critical point, Baoyu suddenly fell asleep, and Liu Xianglian couldn't get up and down, so he wanted to shake Baoyu awake and ask It's clear, but the remaining rationality reminds him that he, a foreigner, can't inquire about the daughter in his boudoir, so he didn't do anything unwise after all.

Picking up a cup of cold tea, Liu Xianglian drank it in one go. The cool tea entered his throat, cooling down his fiery heart a little.He sighed, stepped forward to support Baoyu, laid him down on the couch, made him sleep more comfortably, then quietly looked at Baoyu's sleeping face, and tried hard to find the part of Baoyu's face from Baoyu's appearance. The similarities, I thought silently, wondering if I would still have a chance to see her again?
