Indulgence in the Red Chamber

Who is she?

Yinsi stared blankly at the girl looking up at the sky under the green calyx plum blossom outside the window. She was so young, she seemed to be only six or seven years old, her pure face was cleaner than the white plum blossom, her eyes were full of longing, looking Looking at the plum blossoms seems to be looking at my beautiful tomorrow.

"Myna, myna..." Ninth elder brother Yinzhen pushed Yinsi, while tenth elder brother also stared at Yinsi with wide-eyed eyes.

"Don't make noise." Yin Si waved his hands and frowned.His eyes didn't move in the slightest.

Outside the window, another person came in. Yinsi knew that person. He was the emperor's conferred Mr. Ning, a 16-year-old fourth-rank imperial physician.Yin Si saw Xuan Ning walk to the girl, put his arms around her shoulders, and looked up at the plum blossom together with her, with a happy smile on his face.

"Are they together?"

"Looks like it is."

"Then that girl is the Miss Lin they mentioned in the legend. That's——the person he called the little master?"

"It should be. According to the insider in the fourth brother's house, Xuan Ning is very indifferent to everyone, but he is very obedient to this Miss Lin." Yinzhen whispered.

"Hmm. No wonder..."

"Brother, no wonder why?"

"No wonder it was said on the [-]th day that the daughter of Lin Ruhai in the south of the Yangtze River is as beautiful as a fairy. In the future, she will definitely ask Huang Ama to marry her as his wife."

"Fourteen is a little boy, how can he compare with mynah?" Yinzhen smiled, not taking it seriously.

"Don't underestimate Fourteen." Yin Si smiled faintly, stood up and walked out.

"Hey, starling, it's cold outside, you put on big woolen clothes." Yinzhen hurriedly gave instructions, and the servant next to the door hurriedly took the clothes and put them on Yinsi.Black brocade lynx fur, noble and solemn, accompanied by Yinsi's fair face and elegant smile, is unforgettable at first sight.

Yinsi strode out of the room, walked up to Xuanning and Daiyu, and said with a soft smile, "You two also love plums? Why don't you come inside, sit down and have two glasses of wine, and then enjoy it slowly? "

"Eighth Master?" Xuan Ning turned around and saw Yin Si standing on the side, and smiled in surprise, "I never expected to meet Eighth Master here."

"This col is very famous. It not only attracts our brothers, but also Mr. Ning." Yin Si smiled and looked back at the ninth and tenth who came out with him.

"Hehe, it's the fragrance of plum blossoms that attracted us here. Since the eighth master, ninth master and tenth master are here to enjoy the plum blossoms, we won't bother you." Xuan Ning pulled Daiyu, nodded to the three princes, and said softly Said: "Yu'er, let's go."

"Mr. Ning——" Yin Si raised his hand to keep him, looked at Bihan and Xueyan Dilan standing at the door, and said with a soft smile: "So you have other friends, that girl—please come in too. "

Bihan didn't know the identities of Yinsi and the others, but seeing the three young masters becoming more handsome and clearer than the other, and each more noble than the other, she felt a little timid in her heart, and seeing the leader like this Talking to yourself, how dare you be negligent, busy yourself, walked in slowly, and stood beside Xuan Ning.

"Why, isn't Mr. Ning going to introduce you?" Yinsi's smile is like a spring breeze.

"Oh, this is Nalan Mingzhu's granddaughter, Bihan."

"Oh? I've never heard of a lady named Bihan in Nalan's family. Are you the daughter of the second child? Or the daughter of the third child?" Yinsi looked Bihan up and down, thinking, this girl's qualifications are not good. Compared with this little girl surnamed Lin, it's just that she lacks the innocence and arrogance of the little girl of the Lin family.But—this is also rare.Mingzhu, that old man, actually hid such a precious granddaughter at home, and dared not report it during the draft.

"Ah, Ba Ye doesn't know. She is Nalan Rongruo's concubine, and she rarely goes out on weekdays. So everyone doesn't know her." Xuan Ning saw that Bihan was not easy to answer, so he helped her back.

"Ouch! No wonder no wonder. I said this girl is so different, so she is the daughter of Nalan Rongruo! It's a pleasure to meet you." Yinsi smiled and waved his hand again: "So, there are no outsiders. How about a few Give me a little noodle, let’s all go and sit in the house. It’s good to enjoy plum blossoms outside, but it’s too cold for us men, but these two little girls can’t bear it. If you get sick from the cold later, the loss outweighs the gain.”

Xuan Ning knew that if he refused to continue, Yin Si would lose face.So he nodded with a smile and said, "What Ba Ye said makes sense. Then let's go in and have a seat to warm up before going out to play."

Daiyu only listens to Xuanning.And holding his hand has not let go.Yin Si watched her and Xuan Ning walk over, then smiled at Bi Han, then turned and went in.

Indigo supported Bihan, her eyes were straightened a long time ago.After Yinsi turned around, she quietly pulled Bihan and whispered in her ear: "Girl, girl, is that Brother Eighth?"

Bihan nodded without making a sound.

"He looks so good!" Indigo sighed like a nympho.

"Ba Ye is the prince of the Qing Dynasty, you'd better keep your mouth shut. Be careful if you say a word wrong, all of us will follow you to death." Bihan said coldly.

"Oh!" Indigo hurriedly shut up.Carefully helping Bihan into the house.

Xueyan followed behind, heard Bihan and Indigo's words clearly, and thought to find a time to talk to Si Fujin later, this Miss Bihan is nothing, this Indigo is a troublemaker sooner or later, she should get it sooner or later Just get rid of it.

After entering the house, Yin Si asked Xuan Ning to take the seat, but Xuan Ning modestly refused to sit, and finally Yin Si took the upper seat, Xuan Ning sat on his left, and then Daiyu and Bihan came down in turn.And on Yinsi's right hand sits the old nine and ten.So six people sat around the table, but Bihan and Yinsi faced each other.

"Since Miss Bihan doesn't go out very often, how did she get to know Mr. Ning again?" Yinsi looked at Bihan with a smile, but asked Xuanning.

"Ah, once again an aunt in Mingxiang's mansion was ill and sent someone to seek medical treatment at the imperial hospital. It happened that Xuanning was fine, so he went there. Mingxiang also said that one of his granddaughters had some old illnesses, It is the root cause of the disease brought on since childhood, and many medicines have not cured it. That's why I asked her to diagnose and treat her. Now that Mingxiang has gone with the emperor to the west, this lady's illness has been cured by half, I think We can't give up halfway, so let Si Fujin bring her to Sibeile's residence, to accompany Miss Lin, and also to treat her illness."

"Oh, so that's the case. This is Mr. Ning's noble medical ethics." Yin Si smiled, raised his wine glass, and said to Xuan Ning: "Come on, Yin Si first offer a cup to Mr. Ning."

"Don't dare, Xuan Ning borrows flowers to present Buddha, respecting the three elder brothers."

The four men drank, Daiyu and Bihan didn't drink, and just sat there eating melon seeds.Listen to the four of them talk.

"Sitting around is boring, why don't we make a drinking order?" Yinsi looked at Daiyu and Bihan and suggested with a smile.

"Girls are here, and we are noisy about drinking, which is not very good." Xuan Ning never liked these things, so he shook his head and refused.

"There are elegant wine orders, we can make a more elegant wine order, how about myna?" Lao Jiu agreed.

Xuan Ning was about to speak when he suddenly heard the sound of a qin coming from outside. The melodious sound of the qin immediately attracted several people.

"Okay, what an elegant piano sound." Old Ten clapped his hands and laughed, "Come here today to enjoy the plum blossoms. This is indeed a good place. It's really not in vain."

"It's nothing more than the sound of the piano." Yin Si smiled, not paying attention.

"Hey hey—Old Ten, let's go and see, who is this person playing the piano?" Brother Nine said, and he dragged Brother Ten out.

"It's all right to listen to the sound of the piano, why go to find the person who plays the piano?" Eighth Brother persuaded when he saw the two of them going out.

"Brother, just sit down, brother will be back in a while." Brother Nine and Brother Ten went out in a hurry hand in hand.

The sound of the zither came from the back of the courtyard. Brother Jiu and Brother Ten looked back after leaving the far door, but they went up a few steps. After passing a few plum trees, they found a small courtyard.At this time, the sound of the piano had stopped, and bursts of laughter came from inside, which sounded like a group of girls.

"Ninth brother, we are really lucky today."

"Look at your worthless appearance. I haven't seen any woman in the palace. Come out and return this virtue?"

"Hey! Where am I for myself? Look at that Xuan Ning, but a fourth-rank imperial physician, who goes out to enjoy flowers with two beauties. Look at our starling, who is born nobler than him and looks better than him, but somehow Only the eighth sister-in-law, the dominatrix, is at home and is noisy all day long. Mynah has had enough? I want to find some decent girls for mynah today. No matter what, he can’t be fooled by that Xuanning Let's compare." Elder Brother Ten said angrily.

"Well, what you said makes sense. Come on, let's go in and see who is in here." Brother Nine nodded, took Brother Ten's hand, and walked to the door of the small courtyard.

There were two servants guarding the door. Judging by their attire, they certainly didn't look like people from a small family. Yinzhen looked at the two people and then looked into the yard, asking: "Are you from the capital?"

"Yes. Who is the son?"

"Which one is in the capital?" Yinzhen didn't answer the servant's words, but just asked.

"The Jia family in the Rongguo Mansion."

"Oh!" Yinzhen nodded clearly, and said with a smile, "So it's the Jia family. Is Jia Lian in there?"

"Our second master is not here, and our old lady is leading a few girls to enjoy the plum blossoms. What's the matter, young master? Do you need a slave to go in and pass it on?" These two servants were quite safe, because they called Jia Lian when they heard Yinzhen open his mouth. The name, guessing that his status must be higher than Jia Lian.So he didn't dare to neglect, and hurried forward to salute.

"Since the old lady brought the girls here, we won't go in. By the way, who was the person playing the piano just now?" Yinzhen smiled, stood at the door and refused to go in, but pretended to casually lift her robe corners, revealing the yellow sash inside.

According to the rules of the Qing Dynasty, elder brothers all wore bright yellow silk belts around their waists, so they were called 'elder elder brothers with yellow belts'.In Rongguo Mansion, the family members who can go out with the old lady are naturally not those who have no winks. When the two of them lowered their heads and saw the bright yellow belt, they were scared out of their wits. They hurriedly knelt on the ground and said in unison:

"The slave has eyes that don't know Mount Tai, and offended the nobleman, please forgive me."

"It's nothing, let's all get up." Yinzhen smiled triumphantly.

"What are the orders of the two nobles, the servants are only driven."

"No need, the two of us accompanied Ba Ye to admire the plum blossoms in the front yard. We found out because we heard the sound of the piano. I don't think it's the girls from your family who are here. That's all. Let's go back to have a drink." Yin Yin She smiled, turned and left.Elder Brother Ten looked at the two of them, then turned around and followed.
