Red Mansions Circle of Friends

Due to the light rain in the afternoon, the evening in the capital today is a bit cooler than usual.

Most of the roads in the mansion are paved with bluestone slabs, but they have been trampled by wind and frost for a hundred years, but now they are always slippery and difficult to walk in rain and snow.Fortunately, the rain was light today and it stopped early. Although we could see accumulated water, it did not affect our walking.

Asking Shi Shi to carry the food box, Nan Sheng raised the hem of the skirt slightly to prevent the corners of the skirt from getting muddy on the ground.Therefore, the master and servant who were concentrating on walking did not notice the stranger appearing in the mansion.

Four kings and eight kilometers, Jia Mu can be regarded as the only long-lived person in her generation.There are quite a few people who come to pay their respects every day, and now that there is a virtuous concubine in the Rongguo Mansion, there are even more people who come to pay their respects.Because of this, no one took it seriously when they saw strangers in the mansion.

Nan Sheng's relatively safe appearance did not attract too much attention from others. After taking a look at Nan Sheng, those people remembered her exquisite dress and jewelry, nothing else.

So Nan Sheng didn't even think that the person who came here was not simply paying respects to Jia Mu, but discussing cooperation with Jia Mu, Nan Sheng's exclusive manager.

It was only the next day that Nan Sheng found out about the business coming to him.This is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.It is only said that Nan Sheng took Shi Shi to the small courtyard of Xue's house all the way, only then did she realize that she had been busy all the time, and felt that the family had already hired someone to talk about cross talk to relieve boredom, and Xue Pan, who was a bit of a fool for spending money to go out and listen to people's storytelling, was actually in Went out before evening.

A front foot goes, a back foot comes, and I miss it.

Nan Sheng, who missed it, didn't have the nerve to explain why she came, so she presented the food box to Aunt Xue, and said with a smile that the rice dumplings in the food box were made according to the flavors of Yundu and Jiangnan, please Aunt Xue try it.

Seeing that Nan Sheng came to the door in person with the ceremony, Aunt Xue smiled from ear to ear, took Nan Sheng's hand and kept calling 'my son'.This made Nan Sheng confused, and she was even more embarrassed to accept Aunt Xue's invitation to have dinner with her.

On the grounds that she had to go to the side to deliver the dumplings, Nan Sheng smiled and left Xue's small courtyard.

She sent someone in advance to find out that Xue Pan was at home before going here. Anyone who thought of this would be able to miss it, and she was also drunk.

Thinking of the way Aunt Xue looked at her just now, the word embarrassment swiped across the screen in Nan Sheng's mind again.

It's so embarrassing, it's so good!

╯ (╯ ▽ ╰) ╭

Back at Ou Xiangxie, Nan Sheng threw herself into the bed, buried her head in the pillow and let out a cry.

Nothing could be more stupid than that.

After Baochai told Daiyu about the matter, Daiyu turned around and told herself.Then Baochai must have gone home and told Aunt Xue and Xue Pan.

As for her behavior of coming to deliver snacks today, she seems to have figured out why Aunt Xue was so overjoyed after she left.

Both of them knew each other well, and you still came to the door to send your son, Nan Sheng, and knocked yourself on the brain hard.

Brain, get rid of the swelling quickly.Open your eyes early and get back to normal.

╯ (╯ ▽ ╰) ╭

Nan Sheng, who was very troubled by the oolong incident he made again, roared silently for a while, and then went on a binge eating to digest the emotions that he was about to go berserk.Then he ate too much, and went to the space in the middle of the night to do farm work for two hours before coming out with a clean melon.

After eating the whole melon, even the seeds in the melon, Nan Sheng fell asleep with a satisfied face.

Maybe it's because I didn't brush my teeth and rinse my mouth before going to bed last night, but my mouth doesn't smell that way when I get up early.In ancient times, there was no such thing as a fake dental technique. If you don’t take good care of your teeth, you will definitely be the one who suffers.

So Nansheng took two rounds of oral care very carefully in the early morning, until Daiyu came in, and she ended her early tooth care journey under Daiyu's half-smiling eyes.

Daiyu is such a clever girl, she knew Nan Sheng was stealing food again after washing.

Not to mention Nansheng, even Daiyu herself likes to go around the space before going to bed, or pick up a book, or pick a bunch of grapes and read while eating.

But thinking of the incident of accidentally using dirty books while eating and reading last time, Daiyu never dared to do that again.

Daiyu drank a bowl of bird's nest porridge in her courtyard, then got up early for a walk, and called Nan Sheng to go to Rongqingtang for breakfast.Nan Sheng tidied up, the two sisters strolled around, wearing flowers and willows to the corner gate of the garden, but they arrived at Rongqing Hall in a blink of an eye.

The breakfast in Rongqing Hall has always been served very late. This has something to do with the fact that Baoyu lived in Jiamu's bisha cabinet and he wanted to sleep late.

The breakfast has been as rich as every day for several years, but it has become softer and less chewy in the past two years.

After eating a small bowl of fried noodles with pheasant melon seeds and chicken marrow bamboo shoots, and a bowl of fresh soup and a tofu skin bun, Nan Sheng put down his chopsticks.

It is said that the more people stay, the more lazy they become, and the more they feed, the more useless they become. Nan Sheng didn’t believe this statement before, but now Nan Sheng, who just finished breakfast and was thinking about what to eat for lunch, had to believe this statement. .

She wants to eat Korean cold noodles at noon, the kind with ice.

I don't know if anyone in the capital will make this at the moment, anyway, she has never eaten cold noodles in Rongguo Mansion.

You see, when she can't even eat a bowl of cold noodles, what is there for her to be reluctant to part with?

╯ (╯ ▽ ╰) ╭

"Girl Nan, let the other girls go and play." After dinner, after rinsing their mouths and drinking tea, Mother Jia sent Nan Sheng away, and at the same time sent the other girls and Baoyu away.

Nan Sheng's fingers trembled slightly, but she still smiled gently and peacefully.

This dark-hearted old lady is afraid to take orders for her again.

It's no wonder Nan Sheng thinks so, the main reason is that Mother Jia is really fine and won't leave Nan Sheng alone.Whenever Nan Sheng stays, it is to reminisce about the old days, recalling the year and month when Nan Sheng entered the mansion, and these years, through wind and rain, he regards Nan Sheng as his junior.Then talk about the friendship between so-and-so and their family, and finally tell the story of the portrait commissioned by them.

In fact, very early on, Nan Sheng wanted to tell the old lady, didn't she jump out just to be used by you?So there is no need to make it so complicated, just talk about it if you have something to do.

Use it, use it, the more you use it, the more confident she will live.

After all, we paid the accommodation fee!

Sometimes Nansheng takes two orders a year, and sometimes three orders in two years. The number of orders depends on the length of the order. If it is a big one, it will take a few more days to paint and get sick a few times.The small one is to save a few days of illness.

This time, Mother Jia gave Nan Sheng an order to paint a life-size single portrait for the little princess of Nan'an Palace.This is a large-scale portrait, and it will take at least half a year to paint it.After Nan Sheng calculated the time needed in her mind, she asked Jia's mother to notify the Nan'an County Prince's Mansion.

"I don't know how old this little princess is, how good is his temperament?"

The other person, Nan Sheng, didn't have that much curiosity, but this little princess made Nan Sheng very envious.

Although she has an older brother who cheats her, she also has a mother who protects the cubs.

The older brother was defeated, and when he needed his younger sister and relatives to redeem him, the mother-in-law went straight to the Rongguo Mansion to recognize Tanchun as her daughter, and went to marry her son instead.

As princesses and princesses of the clan, they enjoy the glory and wealth that others cannot enjoy, and they also have to bear responsibilities and obligations that others cannot.

But it is an indisputable fact that the princesses and princesses of every clan do not want to marry far away.Marrying far away sometimes does not only mean being alone and helpless, the separation of flesh and blood.There are still many "do as the Romans do" that women in the Central Plains cannot accept

what vulgar?

This is much more vulgar.Don't mention anything else, just mention the most famous system of adoptive marriage.

For example, the general marriage is to marry the vassal king at the time first, and then marry his son after the vassal king dies.If you live longer, you can also marry the grandson of the vassal king. If you don't understand this kind of vulgar marriage, you can look up the story of Zhaojun going out of the fortress.

This kind of thing is unbearable for noble ladies in places like the Central Plains where ethics prevail, but for the sake of the country's righteousness, they cannot commit suicide, so most of them will die of depression in the end.

Although I don't know if there is such a custom in Xihai Yanzi in the original book, but there is nothing to say about the daughter of Concubine Nan'an with empty gloves.

In addition to these customs, what worries the relatives and noble ladies most is the conflict between the two countries and the war again.

Then their daughters who married to a foreign country for the sake of peace can directly offer sacrifices to the flag.

It's not bad to sacrifice the feudal flag with blood, but I'm afraid those people will humiliate them first in order to humiliate the motherland.

Thinking of this, Nan Sheng once again felt that Lao Zhu was really nice.

Although the Ming Dynasty also talked about male superiority and female inferiority, it did not use women as swords at critical moments.Counting the 276 years of the Ming Dynasty, there was not a single princess who got married.

What kind of backbone and persistence~

"I've never met this little princess, but I heard that she seems to be older than the third girl." Mother Jia thought that Nan Sheng was worried that the little princess of Nan'an Palace would not be easy to get along with, so she couldn't help but smile to comfort Nan Sheng, so don't worry too much.

Nan Sheng didn't explain anything, just smiled as if listening to Jia Mu's words.

Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, and there is no rush to make a portrait of the little princess in a day or two.But Nan Sheng didn't want to waste more time with Jia Mu, so she found an excuse to tidy up the painting tools and went back to the garden.

Although Jia's mother loves to enjoy life and acts foolishly, she is a rare smart person. Nan Sheng dare not rely on being a bit of a "prophet" to throw an ax in front of Jia's mother.So for so many years, Nan Sheng has been avoiding Jia Mu whenever she can, and avoiding whenever she can. Whenever she has to face Jia Mu directly, Nan Sheng will be 12-centralized and dare not slack off.

Mother Jia seems to be used to Nan Sheng's 'shy' temperament, and while she doesn't care about it, she will send someone to take care of Nan Sheng who always likes to stay in the room.

Because there are noodles for dinner, Jia's mother asked the young masters and girls to use them for themselves at lunch, so there was no need to go to Rongqing hall.

As soon as he mentioned lunch for his own use, Nan Sheng immediately asked people to find out if there was such food as cold noodles in the capital.It would be best if she had it, and she could make do with it if she didn't have cold noodles.

Now the Rongguo Mansion is full of flattering words when the banquet is held.Start with Jia Mu, then Yuan Chun, the imperial concubine, and then Baoyu, who was born with a jade in his mouth.

It's annoying to hear too much of anything, not to mention such obviously unreliable flattery.I have to say that no matter how good the banquet is, just these words are hard to swallow.

Nan Sheng didn't really want to participate in tonight's Dragon Boat Festival family banquet, but felt that pretending to be sick during the festival was not good, so she had to eat a full eight percent in her room first, and then took the girl to Rongqing Hall for dinner .

Then by coincidence, he ran into Xue Pan again.

As soon as she saw Xue Pan, Nan Sheng thought of yesterday's oolong, embarrassment and resistance were written all over her hair and heels.

Xue Pan looked at Nan Sheng with sparkling eyes, like a big dog that has lost its bones, wagging its big invisible tail, naive and festive.

The day before, she gave someone to relieve her boredom, and the next day she gave herself a zongzi.Is this, is it thinking of this, the joy on Xue Hanhan's face can't be suppressed.

"Zongzi is delicious, I, I am very happy."

"It's nothing, as long as you like it." Nan Sheng blinked and replied politely. "I still have some, I'll get someone to send it to you later." Nan Sheng would ask someone to pack some rice dumplings and send them to the owners of the house every year.In addition to the owners of the houses, some maids and women who are proud of the house will also be sent. At this time, there are still some left in the lotus root and champagne, just in time to ask someone to send them to Xue's family.

But in previous years, Xue Pan didn't like her family's zongzi much. Could it be that he loves the house this year?

In other words, this Xue Hanhan fell in love with him, did it happen after a long time or fell in love at first sight?

Why do you feel that none of them look reliable?
