An Rubao and Song Chu walked back much faster than when they came, and they returned to the Qin residence before noon. A servant was waiting at the door. Seeing them entering, he bowed his head and said, "Today we will use the For lunch, the lord asked me to pick up Young Master Biao,... and Mr. Song here."

An Rubao's face sank, and he said: "Call Biao Young Master." The servant hurriedly said: "I will take Biao Young Master and Biao Young Master there." As he spoke, he led the way ahead, An Rubao and Song Chu followed him Come to Xiangyuan.

Only Mrs. Qin Zhengyuan and Mrs. Anxuan were in Xiangyuan. Song Yi and An Ruyu were playing in the garden, and they had already sent someone to pick them up. An Rubao and Song Chu greeted the others and sat down next to them.

After a while, there was a burst of noisy footsteps in the courtyard. Song Yi and An Rubao followed a few servants into the room. He Jin was startled when he saw their appearance clearly, and said, "Oh, this is What's the matter?" I saw that the two children's bodies were covered with dust, and their two little faces were dirty, and they couldn't see their original appearance at all.

Qin Feng hurriedly asked them to take the two of them to wash up. An Ruyu pouted, twisted her body so that the servants would not touch her, ran to Qin Feng, and said, "Ah, when are we going home? I want to go home home."

Qin Feng nodded his forehead and said: "You look dirty like a little monkey. We will stay at Grandfather's house for a few more days. Why, don't you like Grandfather's house?"

An Ruyu sniffled and said: "I don't like it, there are bad people here, scold me and Yiyi, I... woo, I don't want to stay here, I want to go home... woo..." Crying full of grievances.

He Jin immediately changed his expression, and asked the attendant who followed him, "What's going on?"

The servants looked at me and I looked at you, and finally one of the older ones stood up and said: "We have been in the garden with Young Master Biao and Young Master Song Yi, and we haven't seen anyone. Oh, by the way, they were hiding and playing with us in the middle, maybe they met someone at that time?"

Qin Feng's face also turned cold, and he asked An Ruyu, "Xiaoyu, tell me, what kind of bad guys are you? What did he scold you for?"

An Ruyu just cried and didn't speak, he asked Song Yi again, Song Yi pursed his lips and said, "That man has a white face and a pointed mouth." He stopped talking when he asked again.

He Jin asked people to take the two children to wash first, and the children's emotions came and went quickly. When An Ruyu came back after washing, she had already forgotten what happened before, and tremblingly held chopsticks to grandpa and grandpa. He added some vegetables, and said solemnly: "Eat more vegetables to be strong, tall, and in good shape." The two old people laughed from ear to ear.

This incident has not been revealed yet. Yan Ruo's family is also in the city. Because it is close, he only stayed at his house for one night, and came back after lunch the next day. After arriving home, Qin Shangyuan was invited to Xiangyuan , stayed in it for nearly an hour, and that night, a sedan chair quietly left Shangyuan Garden, and left directly from the back door of the Qin residence without knowing where it was going.

The next day, Qin Shangyuan sent some things to An Ruyu and Song Yi. Qin Feng picked up a box and opened it. Inside was a fine hair. Qin Feng took a look, closed it, and said to An Xuan: " The second brother is really getting more and more promising." He asked the waiters to put away the things, and asked the servants who came to deliver them to thank him.

Qin Shangqing's husband and wife returned to the Qin residence on the fifth day of the year. When it came to the sixth day, more people came to the Qin house. Qin Zhengyuan used to be the deputy of Liupin Prefecture, and Qin Shangqing and Qin Shangyuan were also in office. Most of the people who came were three colleagues. With them taking care of them, the others hid in the back house for a day.

In the early morning of the seventh day, an invitation was sent to An Rubao. An Rubao opened it and looked at it. It was signed by Zheng Junyu. He was invited to have a gathering at his home tonight. At first sight, Zheng Junyu was An Rubao's first true friend since he came to this world, and he would never refuse, so he immediately asked someone to tell him that he would be on time for the appointment at night.

An Rubao mentioned the matter to An Xuan and Qin Feng about the family meal in Fengyuan at noon. After hearing this, An Xuan frowned and said, "Zheng Junyu? A member of the Zheng family in Qingquan? When did you become acquainted with him?" ?”

An Rubao said: "We met by chance on the street two days ago, and we talked for a while. He intends to make friends, and I didn't refuse."

Hearing Zheng Junyu's name that day, coupled with his demeanor, and later mentioning that he lived in Qingquanli, An Rubao had already guessed his identity.The Zheng family in Qingquanli, the Zhou family in Duogu Street, the Wu family in Sanrenju, and the Wang family in Pingjiu Lane are the four families with the deepest roots in Yuxing City. Among them, the Zheng family ranks first. Although it is not because of his acquaintance with Zheng Junyu, but It is undeniable that it is indeed cheaper to have this layer.

An Xuan pondered for a moment, and said: "It's a good thing for him to get along with you, you know what's in your mind, just be careful." An Rubao nodded.

Because the appointment was at Youshi, at the end of Shenshi, An Rubao changed his clothes, went to the east room to talk to Anxuan and Qin Feng, and went to the appointment, but before he left the gate, a servant came in and reported that Zheng's mansion had sent a carriage to pick him up. , An Rubao followed him to the gate, and sure enough a gorgeously decorated carriage was parked there.

The coachman was originally sitting on the shaft of the car, when he saw him coming out, he jumped off, stepped forward and said: "My young master asked the younger one to pick up Young Master Bao, please get on the carriage, Young Master Bao." These servants are all there to see people order dishes, Those whom the young master values, they must respect themselves.

An Rubao was also polite, and stepped into the carriage. The interior of the carriage was very spacious, covered with thick blankets, a low couch was placed on one side, and a few cushions were scattered around. In the middle was an Eight Immortals table with pastries and tea on it. And the heater and other things are very comfortable. An Rubao didn't sit on the low couch, but took a cushion and sat against the wall of the car, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

The carriage traveled extremely smoothly, and the speed was not slow. From the west of the city to the east of the city, crossed the main street, and turned a few streets and alleys. ,arrive."

An Rubao responded, and walked out of the carriage. A servant had already brought a stool and placed it under the shaft of the carriage. He stepped on the stool and got out of the carriage, looking up.

Compared with the Qin Residence, the gate of the Zheng Mansion is several times more magnificent. It was getting late at this time, and a bright red lantern was hung in front of the gate, reflecting the majesty and solemnity of the entire mansion gate. Extending, as far as the eye can see, there is no end in sight, which shows the vastness of the Zheng residence.

The door was open, and there were servants standing on both sides. He was fully dressed and raised his feet. Just as he was about to step forward, a person came out from the door, ran to him, bowed and saluted, and said: "But Young Master Bao is here. Please come inside, Young Master Bao, my young master." I'm waiting for the young master in the garden, please follow me." Then he asked the servant with the lantern to lead the way, and he walked into the gate by An Rubao's side.

Entering the courtyard, there are lanterns hanging everywhere, carved beams and painted buildings, pavilions and pavilions. Even if you can’t see clearly, you can get a glimpse of the richness and grandeur of the Zheng Mansion. : "Tsk tsk, it really is that the local tyrants are different." Biansheng had a calm expression on his face, the man couldn't figure out his thoughts, and he didn't dare to speak easily, and they walked into the yard in silence.

Walk through several zigzag verandas in the middle, pass through three hanging flower gates, pass through a moon gate, and walk into a garden. Unlike the places I passed by before, there are almost no buildings here. Looking at the past, it is mostly grass and trees. An Rubao guessed it should be Sure enough, in the garden, passing through a stone path, a frozen lake appeared in front of my eyes, and there were faint sounds of chattering and laughing in the wind. An Rubao stopped to listen carefully, and the man hurriedly said: "This is the place in the mansion. In the back garden, the young master and the others are in front of Linshuiyun Pavilion."

An Rubao listened for a while, then nodded, and the group of people walked north along the lake for about a shot, and saw brightly lit lights not far away, crowds of people, silk and bamboo, and it was very lively.

The man led the way for a while, stopped beside a small path, and said: "I can only send Master Bao here. From this small path is the Linshuiyun Pavilion. Several young masters have already arrived. Master Bao Please." He bowed and stepped back.

An Rubao waited for the man to leave, then raised his legs and walked up the path. He said it was a path, and it was enough for two people to walk side by side. There were flowers and trees as tall as one person on both sides, and there were lanterns hanging every not far away. In winter, the leaves on the tree are fallen and the branches are withered, but there is a quiet beauty in it, which makes people feel desolate.Passing through the path, there is an open space in front, surrounded by lanterns, and a long pavilion is built in the middle. The tables and chairs in the pavilion are neatly arranged. There are several people standing or sitting in groups, talking happily, while the sound of silk and bamboo It came from outside the pavilion.

An Rubao strolled towards the pavilion, Zheng Junyu was talking to someone, when he saw him coming, he greeted him personally, saying: "It can be counted." He took him by the hand and led him into the pavilion, the journey is inevitable It attracted countless onlookers.

Given the status of the Zheng family in Yuxing City, most of them are usually clingers. An Rubao is the first one to be treated like this by Zheng Junyu. The other people present secretly guessed his identity while sizing him up——An Rubao Although he is well-known in Yuxing City, but because of his poor health, he seldom goes out, and not many people know him.

An Rubao walked beside Zheng Junyu with a calm expression, entered the pavilion, and heard Zheng Junyu say: "Let me introduce to you, this is An Rubao, my new little brother." , and introduced them to An Rubao one by one. An Rubao was not interested in these people, so he said something perfunctory, found a seat and sat down, and stopped talking.

After that, many people came one after another. At the beginning, Zheng Junyu would bring An Rubao to meet him, but after seeing him, he was really not interested. An Rubao was happy, sitting in the corner drinking tea and listening to music.

A lot of people came to this party, An Rubao secretly observed, some looked arrogant, some were pretentious, some were smooth and pleasing, most of them were from aristocratic families, and they were not very old , There are also a few ordinary people from poor families, forming a circle of their own, clearly separated from others.

At the middle of Youshi, the crowd was almost here, everyone took their seats according to the guest and host, Zheng Junyu sat in the host seat, raised his wine glass, and said: "Thank you Zheng for coming here, I would like to toast you all." After finishing speaking, he drank and drank Do it, and everyone else has done it too.

An Rubao was young, and no one at home let him drink. It was a rare opportunity for him to taste the taste of the wine here. He happily picked up the glass and drank it. It seemed to be clear water. An Rubao took another sip without giving up. Shimizu!He looked up at the others, everyone looked as usual, and seeing Zheng Junyu winking at each other, he immediately understood that he had tampered with it, and he didn't know whether to complain or be grateful, so he put down his glass resentfully.

After three glasses of wine, the next music changed, and a group of people walked slowly into the pavilion. Everyone in the pavilion occupied a table, formed a semicircle, and there was an empty space in the middle. After dancing, An Rubao glanced at her, held her breath in her throat, quickly took a sip from her wine glass, and let the breath go down.

In the place where An Rubao lived in his previous life, there was something called a TV, and there were costume dramas on it from time to time. Every time he saw the scene where the people in the drama enjoyed the beauties while enjoying the food and wine, he was extremely envious. Now this scene has become a reality, It's a pity that the beauties turned into men. Although he knew that these people were brothers, they were no different from men in his eyes. Seeing them with heavy makeup, eyes like silk, twisting their waists and hips, his admiration became heartwarming. hurt.

Many people in the room watched with gusto, and some even flirted with the dancers. An Rubao couldn't bear to look directly, and lowered his head to eat in silence. His table was arranged closest to Zheng Junyu, and his every move naturally couldn't escape Zheng Junyu's attention. Seeing that his expression was different, Zheng Junyu leaned over and asked, "What's the matter? Don't you like it?"

An Rubao said: "No, it's just that I'm not used to it, you know I'm just..."

Zheng Junyu interrupted him with a smile, and said: "Is it just a countryman? I know, but there is nothing you can do if you don't like it. Some people like this tune, so just bear with it."

With his smile, other people in the room didn't bother to watch the singing and dancing, they were immediately attracted by his laughter. One must know that Zheng Junyu used to be extremely stern, rarely smiled, and easily kept people from getting close, let alone being so intimate with people. Before An Rubao was placed next to Zheng Junyu, he had already attracted the attention of others, and now all eyes fell on him intentionally or unintentionally.

One and a half of them have met An Rubao, but after living in Qingshan Village for several months, An Rubao is now taller and stronger, with a little less elegance and a completely different temperament than before. , They couldn't be sure, and saw him wearing a light blue shirt, although the workmanship was exquisite, it was just an ordinary fabric, his long hair was tied on the top of his head and was not tied in a bun, his eyebrows were trimmed and his eyes were long, he was very handsome, he seemed to be underage, and he whispered to Zheng Junyu from time to time , there was no flattery on his face, and there was a natural coquettish posture in his eyes, and there was a bit of ambiguity in his eyes when he looked at him with that dirty mind.

Naturally, An Rubao didn't care about these things, after all the actors had finished their dance and retired, everyone drank a lot of wine, and they were more or less drunk, someone suggested: "At the invitation of Brother Zheng, come today. These are all celebrities and scholars in the city, how can you do without poetry, and now is the season when plum blossoms are in bloom, I think there are also some in this courtyard."

He pointed to the side of the garden, An Rubao looked over, there were indeed some shadows of flowers there, and the man continued, "Let's take this plum blossom as the theme, there is no restriction on the rhythm, how about each one reciting a poem?"

Everyone agreed, and the man said again: "Since that's the case, I'll be the first to make a song, but I want to ask Brother Zheng first, will it be a good one?"

Zheng Junyu said: "Of course there are prizes."

The man clapped his hands and smiled: "That's good, let me think about it first... Well, yes, the new year is greeted early, the blossoms are looking forward to the spring red, and the cold wind does not understand. Is it the same as the four seasons? 1 Showing ugliness, Show your ugliness." His poem was greeted with applause, but An Rubao felt that the applause was a bit against his will. Poetry, I think it's surprisingly bad.

Afterwards a few people stood up, and most of the poems they wrote were not satisfactory. An Rubao fell into a drowsiness after listening to it, and suddenly heard a person chanting crisply: "Jade girl Qiongzi is in Yaotai, and she doesn't compete with other fragrances. There are few flowers and shadows in the quiet path of the small garden, and the breeze is full of sleeves to send incense." 2 This poem is already extraordinary at the beginning, after listening to it, someone immediately said: "It seems that this poem is the leader this time." Majority agrees.

An Rubao followed the sound and saw that the poet recited the poem with a tall body, white clothes better than snow, and a pair of peach blossom eyes circling around his body. It was Zhenqing who had met once that day.

An Rubao murmured that it was not good, and he heard Zhenqing Baiyi say next: "I have little talent and little learning. There are many of you who are better than me, how dare you be the first? I think this young master has never said anything. I think he must have a good work." He said. Looking at An Rubao, everyone wanted to see An Rubao's knowledge, so they also booed.

An Rubao got up helplessly, and said: "I don't dare to be a good work. Since you are loved by everyone here, I will make a fool of myself if I don't. Hmm... All the fragrances shake off Du Xuanyan, occupying all the amorous feelings towards the small garden, where the shadows are scattered and the water is clear. Light, dark fragrance floating in the moon and dusk." 3 The same seven words, this one by An Rubao is obviously better, everyone tasted it carefully first, they couldn't help but be overwhelmed by the artistic conception shown in the poem, and applauded in unison .

An Rubao thought in his heart: "Is it okay? The author is the old man Li who is the plum wife and the crane son." He originally wanted to do something simple, so he recited "a few plums in the corner" to deal with the matter. As for the ultimate move, even though you only memorize the first four sentences, it is enough.

Bai Yi Zhenqing's face became even whiter, and he smiled distortedly at Zheng Junyu, saying: "This young master looks kind-hearted, he is so talented, he is not a mortal, why didn't Brother Zheng introduce us a little bit?"

An Rubao made a big show, Zheng Junyu and You Rongyan stood up and pulled An Rubao over, saying: "I was negligent, forgive me, everyone, let's get acquainted, this is my new little brother An Rubao, because He doesn't like dealing with people, so he didn't introduce you one by one, please bear with us."

Pointing at Zhenqing again, he said playfully to An Rubao: "Rubao, you should remember this one, let me introduce to you, his surname is Wang, and he is Wang Zhenqing, the second young master of the Wang family in Pingjiu Lane. Get to know each other well."

The author has something to say: Note: 12 is the author's random compilation, please do not delve into it. 3 is excerpted from Lin Bu. It is a seven-character regulated poem.In fact, the first four sentences do not meet the requirements of Qi Jue's mediocrity, so I will use them for the time being, and you can read them for the time being.
