The Happy Man in the Red Chamber

The fifth prince was led by Jia Amnesty, and they performed light kung fu and fell into the residence of Qixiufang.The table was quickly arranged, and after everyone was seated, An Lan held Jia She's chopsticks first, and it was considered the beginning of the banquet.The fifth prince frowned slightly as he looked at the girl of Xianbei slave blood who was sitting with him.

An Lan looked at him and frowned, and smiled softly: "The Fifth Prince can speak freely here. Most of the servants at the moment are not human, so His Highness the Fifth Prince doesn't need to care about anything."

Looking at the smiling woman, although she was receiving secret education in the deep palace.But in the final analysis, the fifth prince is just a young child.But the tip of the ear is red.He slightly grasped the cuffs with his fingertips, and thought for a while: "Since Madam said it, I can't hide it. It's just that Madam has always known that this Jianghu affair and court affairs do not interfere with each other. I just don't know, what is Madam thinking?"

"A while ago, your father hoped that Qixiufang would intervene in Cihang Jingzhai, but I withdrew it. After all, Qixiufang is not a martial arts school. The matter of Waifang is handled by the family of Waifang. Make a resolution. If they want to participate, they should go to participate. After all, I, Qixiufang, am not afraid of Cihang Jingzhai." An Lan gave Jia Lian a fish with chopsticks and told him to eat without talking .Jia Lian looked at the fish on the plate, and immediately gave more than half to Zhang Yunxi beside him.Then he smiled kindly.Seeing the boy's face change in such a short period of time, An Lan understood that that's probably why the handsome Second Master Lian came here.

"Father never told me about this matter, I'm afraid I was still young at that time!" The fifth prince nodded, but his father never told him this.The relationship between Cihang Jingzhai and him is a bit complicated.His mother was actually from Cihang Jingzhai.But after all, there was no concubine Zhen Gui to receive the gift, and these things were never mentioned after entering the palace.According to the mother and concubine, when she had him back then, she even thought about sending him out of the palace to become a commoner.However, the death of the mother... the death of the uncle's family... are all inseparable from that Cihang Jingzhai.

An Lan looked up at him, pursed her lips and looked at Jia She with a smile: "I don't know what your Highness thinks of the four princes and eight princes?"

"Every few are useful!" The fifth prince curled his lips, how could he not know the rumors about the four kings and eight princes in the capital.Not to mention, he himself has come into contact with a lot.

"This is the truth!" Jia She smiled and took a sip of wine and looked at Jia Lian: "How about you come to the prince's mansion to be an accompanying student in a year?" For the young man in that position, Jia Amnesty's deal is still a good deal.The emperor did not allow him to enter the official career, largely because of Jia Mu's previous obstacles and the existence of the Zhen family.But his son is always out of control.

"I want to take my daughter-in-law around this year. If the fifth prince doesn't mind, I can go with her." Jia Lian smiled sweetly, and held Zhang Yunxi's hand but did not let go.The previous fish made Zhang Yunxi feel good about him.Whether it's acting or acting, it's true of this temperament.It's always nice to have something happy in it.

The fifth prince looked at the young man who was smiling complacently, and was immediately unsure of the man's plan.He frowned: "Where are things in Jianghu, how can we get ahead?"

"Cihang Jingzhai always needs an opponent. All these years, I have been secretive enough to grow up for this kid. Why can't the successor of the Huajian sect get in?" Jia She said with arrogance, and the fifth prince was startled.The Huajian faction he knows is said to have two identities.Then it is very possible that the father and son are the direct descendants of the Rongguo Mansion.Thinking of this, he thought of his father's private entrustment before leaving the house:

If you can find the successor of the Huajian School, try your best to make friends.Chaozhong has too much involvement with Cihang Jingzhai, Qixiufang still can't figure out the details, all you have to do is find him.

He nodded and then stopped talking. His temperament has been too dull since he was young.Not as lovable as the other brothers, but in private, he received a real prince education.Especially after his mother and concubine ascended to the imperial concubine, he understood his father's intentions even more.The concubine mother once said that her own biological mother is the one whom the emperor truly admires.

After finishing the trip in Ruthless Valley, An Lan and Jia She put on the clothes of the prince's mansion again and returned to the mansion in Hangzhou.

Jia Zhu is now living in the house that Jia Min prepared for Jia Lian. At this time, he is no longer the boy who thought about family happiness.His thin body was a little more tired.He knew before and after the separation and the disgraceful things his grandmother did in it.But in the end, the ultimate beneficiary of these things is his father.How can this be said?

Jia Lian's avoidance is the best explanation.It's not easy for him to ask his uncle and aunt if he can visit him.It's just that I heard that I went out for a trip, taking advantage of the crisp autumn weather.This time when Jia She came back with An Lan, he must be going to visit.He told Jia Min about it early, and he went out while it was still early.I heard that the place is in the suburbs, although the scenery is nice, it is far away.

Jia Min watched Jia Zhu go out and let out a long sigh.She originally thought that no matter how foolish the old lady was, she would not be so foolish as to take risks with her ancestral family business.Unexpectedly, it is possible that what my brother said in the letter was exaggerated.He didn't like the old lady and the second brother, but now looking at Zhu'er, she thought it was obvious.

During the days when Jia Zhu came here, she thought about many things.Coupled with the fact that she was pregnant, her mind became even more dense.Some things that seemed normal in the past became not so normal when I thought about it carefully.

She lost her mother when she was young, and the emperor issued an imperial decree before her mother's filial piety period, pointing the old lady to make a continuation for her father.After all, the old lady who just came out of the palace looked really good.But the grandmother was always worried about her brother and her. In the end, the brother went to the grandmother to raise him while she stayed with the old lady.Although the days were not happy, in the final analysis they were not comfortable.It's just that her father loves her the only legitimate daughter.Regardless of the birth of the second brother and younger sister, they never asked her out.It's just that she was pregnant, and she also found some books to read for the sake of the child.When I think about it carefully, I feel surprised.

Where did the old lady come from, and why is it unclear where the back house is located.But what the younger sisters can learn, she has never learned.She has a sharp temper, and after all, her father is distressed and so on.But it would be inappropriate to rely solely on the servants for the matter of the rear house.I don't care how many times in history, even the queen, was calculated by the slaves?

When my mother-in-law was alive, she said, if it weren't for their family style, how could she be so quiet.The matter of not letting her take charge of the house was originally taken lightly, but now it seems that the housewife is not in charge of the family's affairs?Even if the new sister-in-law came in, wasn't she also holding on to her brother's business?But what about her?

The husband must be good, and it is not easy to feel sorry for her, but it is also filial.The old lady's last words, although it seems that she feels sorry for her daughter-in-law.But in the final analysis, isn't he worried about his natal family's disaster?I'm afraid I just won't say it clearly!Husband has been in the officialdom for a long time, how can the dignified Tanhualang not understand these things?I'm afraid I just don't want to worry about myself!

Jia Min sighed, rubbed his stomach and looked at the dead leaves and branches outside the window, just feeling that he had met a good family after all.The husband is affectionate to him, and the servants are respectful, but the mother-in-law looks worried and talkative.But he also loves himself!Thinking of this, she thought of that radiant woman, her elder brother's new wife.Originally, she had a very good relationship with the eldest sister-in-law, but what she was looking for was that the second sister-in-law didn't read history books and didn't know etiquette and music.But in the end, it's just that I'm biased!That woman's talent is suitable for her big brother.

"What kind of sigh is this that hurts the spring and the autumn?" Lin Ruhai took off her official uniform, sat on the edge of the kang and wiped her hands with a hot towel: "Don't mess with my good-looking daughter. In the future, she will be the one who wipes the flowers when she hears the flowers fall and worships in autumn." Tears of tears!"

"What are you talking about? Why must it be a daughter?" Jia Min pouted at him and said, "I saw that it was a son, so it's good to be a flower lover in the future!"

"What a wonderful daughter! Like you, I don't really want to see the first one being a son. If possible, you will give me another son in the next year!"

Jia Min tilted his head to look at Lin Ruhai, then lowered his head slightly: "What if there is only one daughter?"

"Then take care of the son, and set up a female household in the future and find more favorites for her!" Lin Ruhai didn't care much about whether she had a son.Children and grandchildren are all given by God, if you don't get it, it's just life.

Hearing this, Jia Min was a little sad.However, she quickly cheered up: "The doctor said that my body is well maintained. If it is true that my daughter is what you want, then the next one must be my son. If it is still a daughter, we will have a Give birth to a few more!"

"A few more children..." Lin Ruhai patted the kang mat next to him and thought for a while: "It's better not to give birth to Madam when the time comes!"

"Isn't it you who protect me? I want a son. If I get angry in the future, I can beat him a little bit. This daughter is Jiaojiao's younger brother, what's the matter? Why don't you hurt your heart?"

After hearing what his wife said, Lin Ruhai laughed out loud.He shook his head: "Madam... where did my eldest nephew go today?"

"It is said that I am going to visit. I guess if I don't leave a meal, I will come back after noon."

"Well... If your body is lighter, wait for me to repair it in a few days, and we will go over to have a look. Anyway, it is your brother and sister-in-law, and there is no way for them to come to the door!" Lin Ruhai thought about his itinerary, and it was almost ten days In the end, there should be a rest.

Jia Min nodded: "That's the truth. I thought so too. I just waited for the affairs of your yamen to be over. However, it's not appropriate to say that I heard that the old lady found this sister-in-law who was barren. I don't know if it's true. If so, I'm afraid that the eldest brother has only Lian'er as a legitimate son. After all, it is not as good as the second brother who was born with jade, counting the three of the concubine. Lian'er returned to Beijing at this time, I'm afraid You also came back years ago. You have to teach with your heart!"

Hearing his wife's words, Lin Ruhai lowered his eyes and nodded in thought: "Looking at my eldest nephew these days, I can only say that this kid has a serious mind after all. I'm afraid that if he passes the exam, half his life will be lost." .It’s just that in the final analysis, I’m not his master so I can’t advise you.”

"Ah!" Jia Min sighed, both of them are nephews, but after all, she is closer to her elder brother's family: "His mother is a top-notch person. If you want me to say that people like us are based on connections. But for reference, not to mention Jinshi and the first degree." It’s okay to raise a person alone. You don’t need to be so eager to become famous, it’s good to be famous, but it’s not appropriate to be physically tired!”

Lin Ruhai nodded: "I was just playing in front of the exam back then. If you want a mother, you just want to see me bored at home. Why don't you go out for a walk. Who knows that the journey went smoothly. The child looks like a I'm worried, I'm afraid it's time to rush and get tired! Our child will definitely not be like this, if he wants to pass the exam, he will pass the weak crown, and he really needs to be a scholar to wear the crown. Don't be like me, What a waste of time!"

"You said that!" Jia Min laughed out loud, and she gave Lin Ruhai a white look: "If those outside know your idea, I'm afraid they won't be able to relieve their hatred by tearing you up! Besides, if you weren't young and capable How can I ask you to be my husband in order to be Tanhualang?"

"What Ma'am said is that it's not good to be here with my husband!" Lin Ruhai smiled and got up and bowed.The husband and wife laughed and looked at each other happily.

Jia Zhu handed over the post, and after a while, someone respectfully invited in.I saw that the pavilions and pavilions inside the two gates were not a house but a garden after all.At this time, Jia Amnesty was sitting at the place where the Qushui was flowing, listening to An Lan playing the piano!He held a purple and black flute in his hand, and picked up the flute and the last piece when he heard it.The two of them have the meaning of harmony and harmony.

Jia Zhu walked around the corridor and saw such a scene.Quite unbelievable.How could he have never imagined that his uncle in the barren beach would be so elegant.An Lan stopped the zither in her hand, and stretched out her hand to say hello: "Just come here, they are all relatives, don't you think it's been a while since you saw each other? Or are you complaining about the disagreement between your uncle and your father? Children's families... ..."

Jia Zhu was a little embarrassed, bowed her head and bowed with a smile: "I just look at my uncle and aunt singing in harmony, I'm so envious! I'm stuck for a while, I can't move!"

"This is also a rare leisure. If I were in the mansion, the old lady would have scolded me!" Jia She curled his lips and pointed to the stone bench beside him: "Sit down! Lian'er wrote early that you would come, but I'm with you." Your aunt went to inspect the property a few days ago. After all, she didn't invite you to come and live for a few days. "

An Lan asked people to put away the incense burner and qin stand, and put tea and fruits on the table: "Lian'er is a lazy person after all. When I heard that you were coming, I found an excuse to slip away. Before leaving, I lied to his aunt and said that it was time to return home. Everyone in the capital went out to play by themselves on the way. Now I don’t know where I’ve gone! You’ll be good when the time comes!”

"I don't know about this, but I can't let my aunt know. I'm afraid I'll be angry!" Jia Zhu is usually gentle and shy, and Jia She sneered: "Sooner or later, I'm just worried about your aunt's health. Is it right?" Normal. Is the one taught by Lin Ruhai okay?"

"There are some things that I don't quite understand, and my uncle pointed them out." Jia Zhu answered in the affirmative, and he admired Lin Ruhai as a freshman.In the end it was Tanhualang from the previous time, not common knowledge.

"Follow him. After all, it's better to learn more about how to behave in the world! Our family, as long as you write the paper seriously, you can't lose your identity as a candidate. What you're watching is just the Jinshi scene! Don't worry, just watch It's good to go after wearing the crown. Your parents and I don't walk around in the officialdom very much, and your father is so clear-eyed. I'm afraid there are many things that you don't have a place to learn. Why don't you take advantage of this time and follow them carefully? Your uncle has learned well! In the future, when he enters the officialdom, he will be able to handle it with ease."

Listening to Jia Amnesty's words, Jia Zhu sighed that even if the two families are so separated, it is the friendship of the same blood.His uncle said something pertinent at that time.Just thinking of his mother's entrustment at home, he couldn't help sighing: "Uncle doesn't know something, but the family is anxious! After all, my father is only a fifth-rank official, and I have to support him after all. Baoyuhuan'er is still young. ...I'm afraid I won't be able to delay it!"

Jia Amnesty looked at him and sighed: "But your father wouldn't make you work so hard if he listened to me back then!" He looked at An Lan who didn't understand and took a sip of tea: "His father's temper back then was so hard." It's very twisted, I said that it doesn't matter which mansion you belong to when you enter the officialdom. It's just to make him soft-tempered, but then he will be disgusted by talking too much! Otherwise, relying on the face of Rongguo Mansion, why is he not an expatriate now? Members must be above the third rank!"

"It's all in the past, and it's rare to see you foolish people." An Lan smiled and got up: "Eat here at noon, I let people get grilled, and there are new porpoises. These years , It is a rare taste after all!"

"Don't be too busy, auntie, I'll just go back to my aunt at noon!" Jia Zhu hurriedly stopped him, and he was a little embarrassed at this moment.

"How could your aunt not know? Because you come here, I, as an aunt, can let you go home hungry?" An Lan smiled and left, leaving Jia She to comfort him: "Just be obedient and stay for dinner. , what delicious food can your aunt have? Look at your uncle's thin bamboo pole, I'm afraid he doesn't even know where he sent his salary. I'm afraid you haven't eaten this little porpoise. There are many things to eat in the capital It is rare to see such a rustic flavor.”

"Then...my nephew thanked uncle!" Jia Zhu hurriedly got up and bowed to thank him. Jia Amnesty didn't think he was a scholar leftist.The only way is to read to death.

At this time, Jia Lian took his little daughter-in-law along with Lin Qing and the Fifth Prince on the official road leading to Jeju Mansion.It is said that a member of the Taishan sect was preparing to wash his hands in a golden basin, and they were there to watch the excitement.At this time, on the official road, people from martial arts abound, and it is very lively.Of course, the outfits on the three of these four people are surprising.

"If you don't want to go to the pier, the street is full of people looking like monkeys?" Jia Lian curled his lips, showing a dissatisfied look on his face.When they came out of Jinling, he originally suggested that since they were going to watch the excitement, they should just go to the pier.But the fifth prince said that since he came to the rivers and lakes, he had to blend in.The way everyone walks, why do they walk by the pier?

"It's just that the three of you looked shocked/*/yan! Why did you blame me?" The fifth prince, who was complained all the way, was obviously a little unhappy.But in the final analysis, I got acquainted along the way, and it's just the kind between children.

"Just let them see. After all, it's my junior, you hate your wife being seen!" Lin Qing smiled and looked at the little junior sister who had put on her gauze hat early, and her pink gauze was rippling as she walked.

"Senior brother made fun of me again?" Zhang Yunxi was a little unhappy, the two of them just made fun of their future husband-in-law when they had nothing to do.

"It's rare to meet fun along the way, aren't you the ones making fun of me?" The fifth prince said with a smile, and when he turned his head, he saw a pair of women in plain green clothes coming, the leader was a woman wearing a green bamboo crown. of.The woman looked at the four people and stopped quickly: "But the brothers and sisters from Qixiufang?"

"Who is your senior brother and sister?" Zhang Yunxi, who didn't have a good impression of Cihang Jingzhai, said, "Don't try to get involved, if my master knows that I entered that aunt's courtyard with you, I'm afraid I won't fight you." break my leg?"

"I made a mistake! Just looking at the elephant, I came up to say hello!" The woman was open-minded, she pursed her lips and smiled to the junior sister behind her: "How about going to see the ceremony of washing hands in the golden basin of the knight Guan?"

"I'm just curious, how about washing hands in this golden basin." Lin Qing was the oldest, and finally stood in front: "Fairies are going too?" Looking at Xinsheng.

"Master has received invitations. I really want to see them. Are you going to go all the way?" Suyin is not very familiar with the people in Qixiufang.I just know that this attire probably belonged to inner disciples.

"What do you think?" Lin Qing asked the three little ones beside her with her hands behind her back.

"Everything is up to senior brother!"

"Brother Lin just makes the decision, I'm just eating and drinking along with you!" The fifth prince crossed his arms, apparently acting like a fool.

"Chi..." Jia Lian looked at him with contempt: "You have the nerve to say so!"

"Why am I embarrassed?" The Fifth Prince raised his eyebrows, provocatively.

"Fight... I will beat you up. Don't stop me this time, senior brother!" Jia Lian was about to charge forward, and the fifth prince looked at him with a sarcastic smile: "Come on... I'm afraid of being a young master." You! If you have the ability, you come here!" After saying that, he performed Qinggong and flew out, and Jia Lian followed after watching him yelling and refusing to admit defeat.

Looking at these two people, Lin Qing shook her head helplessly: "Let's go all the way! It's not the first time for them, they always want to make trouble!"
