dream of red mansion

"Brother, you are very polite."

Jia Qing said casually, and after Wang Ren left, Jia Qing turned around and said to the acquaintance at the same table:

"I met Lian's second brother!"

Jia Rong also said, "I've seen Uncle Lian."

It was Jia Lian, the legitimate son of Jia She of the Rongguo Mansion.

Jia Lian said, "Second brother, please sit down, and brother Rong will also sit down."

The two sat down.Seeing that the other people at the same table were staring at Jia Qing, Jia Lian smiled slightly, stood up, pointed at Jia Qing and introduced:

"This is the second son of our Ningguo mansion respecting the master, Wen Linlang bestowed by the current emperor, Jia Qing is also!"

Although Jia Qing was upset that Jia Lian was troublesome, he stood up and clasped his fists in a salute, "I've seen you all!"

"Sure enough, it is the famous Second Master Jia Linlang. In the past, he had only heard the name of Second Master from the mouths of his elders. Seeing him today, he really deserves his reputation."

"He is truly a hero among men..."

……

These people are basically the sons of various families, and one of them is the second son of Shan Guogong's mansion who is also the successor of the eighth prince. Unfortunately, Jia Qing is not familiar with them.

We introduced each other, and we got to know each other.Seeing that there was only one Jia Lian on the side of the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Qing asked curiously:

"Second Brother Lian, why didn't you see Second Brother Bao? Didn't he come?"

Jia Lian said with a smile: "How can this kind of scene not come today, but he is different from us, the old lady brought him inside..."

That's okay too?It's fine in his own mansion, and Jia Baoyu is brought to the inner house in other mansions... But thinking that today is the birthday of Jia Baoyu's biological grandmother, he is relieved.

At this time, some tea and snacks were already on the table, and Jia Qing didn't have the heart to talk to acquaintances, so he sat drinking tea and looked at the people at the banquet...

Few acquaintances!

Jia Zheng and the others were not in the courtyard. Those high-ranking people should be in the main hall directly in front of them, but I don't know how many tables are there.

"The old birthday star has come out, hurry up and pay your respects, there are still red envelopes for you!"

But it was a few young men who looked like little sons and brothers, hugging and rushing towards the main hall together.Jia Qing looked up, and sure enough, there was already a line of people vying for birthday wishes, and the same thing was that they were not very old.

Seeing Jia Qing looking around, Jia Lian thought that Jia Qing didn't understand the etiquette here, and explained: "Uncle and old lady are not outside, and now they are going out to wait for the juniors to kowtow to please them in the main hall. We will go there soon!"

Of course Jia Qing knew this rule, after all, she had wished Jia Mu so many birthdays.But this Jia Lian was very kind to him, which surprised Jia Qing a little.

"Hmm" was a reply.

This old lady of the Wang family is already seventy years old, and she is older than Jia Mu.

He knew that Wang Ziteng would have a successful official career in the next few years.I always wanted to make friends with him before, but unfortunately, as a junior, I never had a suitable opportunity...

Today is a good time.

Time passed bit by bit.The younger ones have basically gone to pay their respects. Although Jia Qing is also considered young, he doesn't want to go with those children who are still awake.

Together with Jia Lian and the others, when Jia Lian came out, guided by the servant at the door, Jia Qing strolled in.

Sure enough, there were not many people in the main hall, there were only six tables, arranged on two sides, with three tables on each side.Most of the people sitting at the table were old or young, and Jia Zheng was considered young among them.

In the middle of the front is a grand master's chair made of rosewood wood, and an old woman is sitting in it. Although her face is wrinkled, she has a peaceful smile on her face, which looks very kind.

Without looking at it too much, Jia Qing looked at the kneeling mat in front of him, knelt down without hesitation, and said in his mouth:

"Boy Jia Qing, I wish the old lady a long and happy life. Every year there will be today, and every year will have today."

It's not too fancy, if people don't like it, it won't be beautiful!After finishing speaking, he kowtowed three times in a proper manner.

Next to Jia Zheng, an elder said: "Cun Zhou, this is the unicorn in your family, the child who was bestowed with a title by the Holy One?"

"Uncle Huishi, that's right."

"Well, yes, it's a smart one."

Hearing what they said, people who hadn't paid attention to it all gathered their eyes.

The old lady above might have heard about Jia Qing, and seeing everyone's curiosity, she waved her hand and said, "Brother, come here, let me have a look..."

How could Jia Qing refuse, got up and walked straight over, and took the red envelope from the hand of the maid who was responsible for handing out the red envelope by the way.

The old lady smiled even more when she saw it, and joked with a smile: "I have a lot of red envelopes here, brother, don't rush to get them."

Jia Qing smiled shyly and walked three steps away from the old lady.

Looking Jia Qing up and down, the old lady said: "You are so handsome, you must be promising in the future."

The Queen Mother was even more delighted when she saw it, and took out two more red envelopes from the nearby plate, handed them to Jia Qing and said, "Come, buy some candies."

Jia Qing's heart is tired, she treats me like a little kid, doesn't she?But he smiled and said: "Thank you, Madam, for your generous gift!" Then he took the red envelope.

Seeing that the Queen Mother had given the red envelope and had nothing else to say, Jia Qing was about to leave when he heard a middle-aged man's voice say:

"......"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"My lord, I heard that Jia Jialin was a gifted poet, and he was well-known, and was even appreciated by the Holy One. Since I met you today, why don't you invite him to congratulate you with a poem, firstly to celebrate the old lady's birthday, and secondly, to open my eyes. ?”

It was the voice of a middle-aged man.To be able to sit here, the status should not be low.

On the first table on the left, the fifty-year-old Prince Teng frowned when he heard this.

At this time, I suddenly asked someone to write a poem, and it was fine if I did it well.If it's not done well, wouldn't it disappoint the Queen Mother?On such a happy day like today, Wang Ziteng didn't want to make the Queen Mother feel unhappy.

But since a person has spoken, no matter what his intentions are, the scene still has to be maintained.Fortunately, he also knew some of Jia Qing's deeds, thinking about asking Jia Qing to write poems, even if he didn't do well, it shouldn't make the Queen Mother unhappy.

So he said to Jia Qing: "I have heard about my nephew's talent and name. I wonder if my nephew would like to try it?"

Jia Qing naturally knew Wang Ziteng, but he had never communicated with him, but he knew from his senses that Wang Ziteng was a capable person.

"I've met my cousin...Since I got two more red envelopes today, I can only offer a congratulatory poem to make up for it."

Wang Ziteng smiled slightly, didn't say much, and indicated with his eyes that Jia Qing could start writing poems.

Jia Qing was not busy, but turned his head to look at the kind Queen Mother again, not only that, two seconds later, he even lightly circled around in a small half-circle to look disrespectfully.

The crowd waited attentively, and after three breaths, they heard Jia Qing's first sentence:
