Red Mansions Circle of Friends

Liu Tai's marriage has no other role for Nan Sheng except as a shield.

When she got old and divorced her marriage, she would either be a stepmother like the Xing family and You family, or marry those unworthy children from Rongning and Ningfu who couldn't get a wife.

Not to mention, with her exposed social status and painting talent, if she doesn't consider her seniority, she can marry Jia Rong as her successor.

Even if this marriage is delayed, when the marriage is over, Jia Qiang of Ningguo Mansion seems to be still single at that time.

In addition to these two, Jia Mu's shrewdness may allow her to marry Jia Lian, who has a difficult heir.

In short, even if there are other painters from the realistic painting school, she still seems to be a piece of pork belly.

As long as the oil can be squeezed out, it cannot be the kind where the fertilizer and water flow into outsiders' fields.

Nan Sheng does not reject being used by others, but she cannot accept arranged marriages.The problem now is that if you don't want to marry, you have to come up with a way not to marry.

This method Nan Sheng has long thought of, that is to learn from Miao Yu and practice on behalf of Fa.

Miaoyu was able to summon her servants to become a monk, why couldn't she?

Being divorced from marriage, depressed, and having nothing to love in life, escaping into Buddhism is also a normal routine.

But thinking of Miaoyu's final outcome, Nan Sheng felt that it was very necessary to be fully prepared before becoming a monk.

If she retired early, she would find a room in the Grand View Garden to imitate Miaoyu and become a monk, and if she had nothing to do, she would paint a realistic painting for free as a boarding fee.

If you come late to retire, you can only choose a nunnery with a good reputation and a strict family style to live in.Live the life of a layman in the way of a monk.

In short, this place must be chosen carefully, and she doesn't want to choose a place like Shuiyue Temple that hides filth and filth in the end.

In fact, she has money, so it's not that she can't live alone or build a family temple by herself.But the problem is that this era is too harsh on women.

In this era, the family temple has no family to rely on, and it will definitely become a gentle town for the powerful and bandits, and a place for the gentry and dandies to hunt for beauty.

Although she wasn't pretty, the girl who served her might not be all pretty.In addition, some men are afraid that they like women who are monks.Just like a certain period of Xunfangke likes to use the three-inch golden lotus shoes worn by sister Yao as wine glasses.The smell of wine is like the smell of beriberi, a unique experience

The family temple is not good, and it is not safe for a woman to live alone.Without father and brother, without husband's family and children, the situation is even worse.

Nan Sheng is not afraid of troubles, but she also doesn't want to see someone looking for trouble.

Another thing is that people's hearts are unpredictable. Except for Shi Jiu and his wife, who are loyal servants who make her feel at ease, if she sets up a mansion alone, the mansion must be supported by family guards. What's on her mind, can she guard against it?

It's not that she thinks of people too badly, but that her heart is up and her nature is down, she really can't stand the years and temptations.

So no matter how much money there is, as an orphan, Nan Sheng has to pay some 'protection fee' and postage fee if she wants to live in peace.

Looking at it this way, Rongguo Mansion with Jia's mother is not her and Daiyu's safe house.

By the way, she still has to get a certificate in advance.

The monks have no certiorari, are not protected by the law, and are not protected by the nunnery if something happens.

But even if you have money, you may not be able to get this thing.

Earlier, she really wanted to ask Lin Ruhai to help get two, but, but, well, this is the same as reporting to your parents when you plan to skip class.

Do you think Nan Sheng can let Lin Ruhai know about this?

Absolutely not.

Therefore, the only contact was useless because of various scruples.

Hey~

Emperor Yongtai ascended the throne last year, and this year is the first year of Yongtai by convention.Just finished a Chunwei exam in February, and the next exam will be in the fourth year of Yongtai.If the Liu family puts the future first and delays the marriage until the fourth year of Yongtai's spring, she will seriously stay in the Rongguo Mansion until that time.

It is said that after the three springs, Zhu Fang will not talk about it. Calculated according to this time, she can still join in the fun throughout the whole process.I just don't know if she will have the opportunity to live in the Grand View Garden with the girls after the completion of the Grand View Garden, and where she will live.

The Xiaoxiang Hall in the original book cannot accommodate two girls.

Thinking of the accommodation in the Grand View Garden, Nan Sheng forgot about the Liu family and Liu Tai in a blink of an eye.

After spending some money to get a copy of the design drawing of the Grand View Garden, Nan Sheng spent two days but couldn't find where she could live.

One is that although this picture is exquisitely drawn, it is not marked with a name.The second one is that Nan Sheng can't tell the difference between east, west and north.

You say left and right, she knows.When it comes to east and west, she is someone who can't figure out which side is east for a long time.

╯ (╯ ▽ ╰) ╭

Shi Jiu and his wife are very capable management couples. Nan Sheng is only responsible for ordering many things, and the couple can handle things properly.

It's like revealing to Mrs. Wang about Sister Feng's desertion. Nan Sheng provided the direction and the candidates for the leading and supporting roles.After the couple got the order to go back to the room, they made up their minds, and quickly took action.

Shi Jiu's family first selected two new daughter-in-laws from Zhuangzi under Nan Sheng's name, and after they quietly entered Beijing, they began to teach them how to speak.

Shi Jiu, on the other hand, spent half a penny to hire a few beggars on the street, and inquired about the whereabouts of Zhou's and Jia Qin's mother and son without showing anything.

Zhou's mouth is broken, and Jiachang always goesssiping with a group of women while doing needlework.He doesn't have any servants at home, so he goes shopping by himself every day.Jia Qin's whereabouts are even simpler. Recently, he has been showing his presence in front of the idler Xue Pan.

In just three to five days, the selected daughter-in-law "inadvertently" told the Zhou family the newly learned cliché, and Shi Jiu also deliberately appeared in the teahouse where Jia Qin usually appeared, in order to watch the excitement in a leisurely way. The attitude sent the news to the ears of Jia Qin who was eagerly flattering Xue Pan.

The chatter of Shi Jiu and the others not only fell into Jia Qin's ears, but also into Xue Pan's ears.

Xue Pan didn't have any idea after hearing this, so he naturally pulled the small plate with refreshments back to him, and looked up at the old storyteller on the table in the middle of the teahouse while guarding the food.

Aunt Xue and Baochai made up their minds not to move, and Xue Pan had nothing to do with them. The final result was that the Xue family still lived in Rongguo Mansion.

Moving from Lixiangyuan to Yikuayuan to the east, the repair garden was noisy, and the group of small opera actors in Lixiangyuan also saw the sky babbling, so Xue Pan, who was upset, almost didn't live in a teahouse for a while.

There are not only storytellers in the teahouse, but also beautiful girls singing ditties.

Several times, the little girl who sang the song ran to Xue Pan with a tray, expressly wanting to reward silver, and secretly giving away glances. Unfortunately, Xue Pan has also experienced it, so she didn't even lift her eyelids. that girl.

I have already paid for the tea, so what reward do I need?

After coming down several times, the little girl also saw the virtue of this master, and she refused to come here to make fun of him.

At the beginning, Xiangling was also very charming, but she couldn't win Xue Pan's heart.Xia Jingui is coquettish and graceful, but in the end she also sends Baochan into battle in order to trap Xue Pan.

There is also this Hongxiangaiyu, that flower girl who can let him imitate the horse monkey in the boudoir, in short, it is just a dream, all kinds of beauties, regardless of men and women, are all 'empty is color' in Xue Pan's place.

Now Xue Pan is thinking about finding a woman who can bear children after two years of life, and having a few children to inherit the incense of the Xue family is enough to be worthy of the Xue family's ancestors.

As for whether the child can be promising in the future, it depends on whether the ancestors can show their spirit again.If you count on him, you may lose your hope.

Don't look at Xue Pan being stingy, but being poor enough to be stingy and getting richer and more stingy can still be seen at a glance.Jia Qin has no eyesight, but has a unique talent in this area.

He didn't get any of the errands for the construction of the Grand View Garden a few days ago. Recently, he watched others scoop up a lot of money, which made him feel uncomfortable.It happened that Xue Pan stayed in the teahouse as a long-term resident, so Jia Qin licked his face and came up to him.

The one who wants to take advantage meets the one who is stingy, the picture is so beautiful that Yue Yan, who has nothing to do to relax, can't bear to look directly at it.

Yue Yan sent someone to ask Xue Pan upstairs to speak in the private room, Xue Pan immediately stood up and left as soon as he saw that the person was from Yue Yan's side.But before leaving, he took a look at Jia Qin, and finally settled the bill for the few teas and refreshments he ordered every day.

As for Jia Qin, since she heard such a piece of news just now, she didn't know what to do with it.He watched Xue Pan go upstairs with a smile, and then turned his head to look at Shi Jiu, who looked like a nouveau riche.

He asked about what Shi Jiu said just now with a casual attitude, and then he went home with an expression as if he had found a treasure.

Mrs. Zhou also heard the same news from two young daughters-in-law when she went out today. She was still thinking that the rich get richer and the poor get richer. He came back with a mysterious face.

When the two mothers saw each other exchanging information for the first time, Xue Pan said that Yueyan was a prodigal with a look of distress.

"It might not come out once every ten days, it's not worth the money."

Yue Yan is now the emperor anyway, and he would often come here to look for Xue Pan, so the waiters directly reserved a private room for Yue Yan to use when he came.

However, in the private room of this tea house, even if you spend your wallet, you have to pay money every time you order tea.

When Yue Yan called Xue Pan to come, he would listen to books in this private room. It was clean and there were few people, so it was comfortable to stay there.But Xue Pan felt that upstairs was not as lively and atmospheric as downstairs, so he still stayed in his fixed place downstairs.

Yue Yan is already very calm towards Xue Pan's strange habits and thinking, so every time Xue Pan mutters about the injustice of the money spent, he ignores his stingy words.

When the old storyteller downstairs slapped the eye-catching sound and said "next time to break down", Xue Pan's long-stretched neck retracted from the window of the private room.

"Master, I understand now. The old man used these four words to catch my master every time. You said that if he made a hook one day, he would stop telling the book the next day. Wouldn't the master be scratching his heart and scratching his head, and he could follow me?" Like lovesickness?" After nagging, Xue Pan took another sip of tea before Xue Pan had the time to ask Yue Yan, "Why are you free today?"

"When will Grandpa be free?"

Ever since he became the emperor, he was no different from a puppet.

Okay, such a big pie fell from the sky, and he earned it by being a puppet for a while.But the problem is that his eccentric Lao Tzu sees what the sky is doing. While not letting go of government affairs, he also pampers his other sons wholesale with a compensatory mentality.This made him more and more intolerable.

In fact, he also understood what the old man was thinking, didn't he just think that he had won the throne and treated his other sons badly.Worried that he would treat his brother badly in the future, he sealed his son in advance.

But he didn't even think about it, he sealed eight princes in one breath, what is he an emperor.

"It doesn't matter which day, anyway, you don't have time like me." Xue Pan, whose nerves were almost thickened into a courtyard, didn't hear Yue Yan's little complaint at all, and said to Yue Yan with emotion on his face, "Now This is the life of a human being. Even though you are an emperor, I don't envy you at all."

He can sleep until Chen Shi, can the emperor?

He can listen to books in the teahouse for a day, and he can applaud to his heart's content when he is happy, can the emperor?

Sleep when you are full, eat when you wake up, go for a walk, order a pot of tea, and listen to storytelling for a day.Tsk, gods don't change when they come.

And he can increase his knowledge by listening to books.Aside from other things, at least he understood everything about the Three Kingdoms.Now the Water Margin is no longer allowed.Journey to the West, he hasn't finished listening to it yet.

Yue Yan rolled his eyes at him angrily, as if he had discovered something, he looked at Xue Pan carefully again, and couldn't help wondering: "Why have you lost so much weight recently?"

This fool is eating and sleeping stupidly every day, but he is still thin?

Is there any reason for this.
