[Red House] But for the sake of the king

Jia Baoyu didn't care about Lin Heng's indifferent attitude. Although he had seen him a few times, he also knew that this cousin had been indifferent since he was a child. He was still a child but he was as calm as an adult.All the princes and grandsons here are familiar with him in the past, and he is free to say a lot to them.After chatting for a while, Feng Ziying yelled again, "Ruolan, you are too petty, and you don't even call it a singer, it's so boring."

Wei Ruolan said with a smile, "There are twelve mouths here, and it's not lively enough. We don't have to let those people disturb Yaxing."

Another person said, "It's not that you don't know him. The family education is the strictest. If you are at home, it's fine. You never provoke those people outside, or you will be disciplined again when you go home."

Wei Ruolan said embarrassingly, "You're talking nonsense again, just now you said you don't need to look for someone, and now you're pushing it on me, don't feel ashamed. You and each other, you are just a brat, and you are so shameless No skin, your father deserves to punish you."

It turned out that it was this one who fell in love with an upright official earlier, and started a fight with others, and made a big fuss, was caught by the father and went home and taught him a good lesson, and now he is still in the lingering prestige.It's just that the brothers naturally didn't want to be ashamed in front of them, so they forced a smile and said, "There is no such thing. If it is true, who among us can compare with King Zhongshun, that master is really romantic."

Feng Ziying said loudly, "It's amazing, how dare you arrange for the prince. But I heard that the prince has changed his temperament recently, and he is competing with a little actor."

Another person interjected, "I know, isn't he Qiguan? His singing skills and figure are good, and he was favored by the prince again. Now he is the only one who is famous in the capital, and most people can't invite him to sing at the party." It's just very strange, the prince usually takes people into the mansion, but this time there was no movement for a while."

Wei Ruolan said, "You don't know that. In the last draft, King Zhongshun was appointed a side concubine. No matter how foolish the prince is, he would not do such a slap in the face at this time. Don't talk about that, that one I really want to get to know Qiguan, I heard that not only is she beautiful in acting, but she is also a good person. Brother Liu, I wonder if I have the honor to see you two act together."

Liu Xianglian, who listened quietly to the side for a long time, said, "It depends on whether Qiguan will give this face. I happen to have some friendship with him, so I will ask for you when I have time tomorrow."

Hearing a clear voice, Baoyu hurriedly looked up, and found that it was a handsome young man with a face like a peach blossom and a color like the dawn of spring.It turned out that Liu Xianglian had just left when they came in, so she didn't see her.But Jia Baoyu's name, Liu Xianglian, is still known, but it's just that everyone is sitting and talking, and he can't easily cling to it, which seems deliberate.Sitting among the crowd, Baoyu didn't pay attention to the person who came in from behind. It wasn't until then that she realized that there was such a beautiful woman present.

With a thought in mind, he asked Feng Ziying who was beside him, and Bao Yulang said, "It turns out that Mr. Liu and Qiguan still have friendship. I don't know if I have the honor to watch it together."

Liu Xianglian raised her wine glass and smiled, "Second Master, you're welcome. If you don't mind, just come with them. Make a time tomorrow, and I'll send you a post. I'll have a good time now, If you continue to mess around like this in the future, you will lose your job again."

Jia Baoyu hastily thanked him but did not mention it.On the contrary, Chen Yejun teased him with a smile, "You are such a chic and unrestrained person, why don't you feel happy in the world, and insist on going to the yamen to do things, isn't it just asking for trouble."

Liu Xianglian said, "I also don't want to be burdened by common affairs and officials. However, although I don't have parents to discipline me, my aunt is very strict with me. If Master hadn't saved me that day, my aunt would never have let me go. I went to learn art from his old man. Now that she heard that she can work in the government, she is naturally happier than me. No matter how reluctant I am, I can't help my aunt."

Someone laughed and said, "It should be so. Although walking in the rivers and lakes sounds chic, it is not easy. Besides, brother Liu is getting older, and the age to get married must be fixed."

Another person pushed him, "You don't want to come here to preach after you have engaged yourself. Brother Liu is only so old, and it's okay to delay for two years. I said what happened today, everyone has become a gossip, or Pick up your glass quickly."

Baoyu said, "Drinking alone is not interesting. It's better to make a drinking order. It's more interesting."

Everyone agreed, so they pointed out a drinking order, and there was a lively commotion.Lin Heng refused but just played along, fortunately, although he was too young to drink, he was very talented in learning, even if it was an order that was not very practical, he would be able to do it after hearing them say it twice.And after a few rounds, Lin Heng also saw some tricks. Whoever's talent is good or bad is second, the important thing is the attitude.Then Feng Ziying is a carefree man, and he speaks crisply, whether he can't or can't, just drink as much as he wants.Wei Ruolan is cautious but self-motivated, every time she has to think for a while before speaking.Unexpectedly, Jia Baoyu has a bit of a crooked talent in these things. He is good at wine orders and has many uncommon allusions, but he is too crooked.Chen Yejun was familiar with him, so he naturally knew that he was warm-hearted and cold-hearted, but he had an air of arrogance, probably because he came from a family of poetry and books.There is also Liu Xianglian, who admires Lin Heng the most. Not only is she strong in martial arts, she has a chivalrous heart, and she even has a good capacity for alcohol, but she is really mediocre in poetry and writing.

Lin Qingxuan got these answers, with a subtle smile on his face, he said, "Then you think, who can make friends and who can't make friends."

Lin Heng lowered his head and thought for a while, before he said, "The Chen family has always been in close contact with our family, and my father and Uncle Chen are also close friends. Naturally, there is no problem. Wei Ruolan is the son of the commander-in-chief of the Wucheng Army and Horse Division, and he can make friends but not Too close. Mr. Liu is my savior. If he is in trouble, I will do my best to help him. Moreover, his father arranged his errands for him. Presumably his father has already understood him, so there is no problem. That Feng Uncle...they don't agree with each other, just nod to each other."

Lin Qingxuan's smile deepened, and he asked again, "Why don't you talk about your cousin from the Jia family."

Lin Heng had a displeased expression on his face, and Jia Baoyu dragged him to say a few words just after he came out of the restaurant, and wanted to drag him to Jia's mansion, he didn't want to see those people.It's not his own uncle, and he can't see the contempt in the eyes of those servants.And the old ancestor, as if he was afraid that he would rob my sister's property in the future, what he said made people uncomfortable.It's strange that my sister doesn't want to go to Jia's house, it's really difficult.So he pursed his lips and said, "It's all about the relationship between relatives, there is no friendship."

Lin Qingxuan shook his head, "You boy, that's all, you're still a child after all, it's good to be able to think of these things. Hurry up and say hello to your grandmother, I'll go back first, and hand in two big letters tomorrow."

Lin Heng cupped his hands and looked at Lin Qingxuan's retreating back in thought for a while.He was indeed still too young, he didn't understand why the gentleman made friends with them, he also didn't understand why the gentleman pretended to be drunk, and he didn't understand what was hidden behind the smiling faces of those people at the banquet today.After dismissing the servant who was accompanying him, Lin Heng asked the maid to change his clothes, and went to the backyard after getting rid of the alcohol.

Just as Daiyu finished dismissing a few housekeepers, she picked up her needle and sat by the window. She embroidered a few stitches when she heard someone shouting outside, "Master is here." Putting down the needle and thread in her hand, she saw Lin Heng coming in and asked, " Where did you go today, I heard that you went out with your husband. Oh, why does it smell like wine, how much did you drink?"

Lin Heng sniffed his body, but didn't feel any strong smell, "My sister has a really sharp nose, but I drank a few glasses with a few aristocratic sons, because they drank a lot together, I think it smelled like smoke. I'm getting older. Why is grandma still taking a nap now? It's almost time for dinner."

Daiyu ordered someone to make a bowl of strong tea, and then said, "I have a stuffy nose when I wake up early, probably because I caught a cold at night, and I don't want to get up after falling asleep. I wanted to send someone to invite the imperial physician, but he refused, and continued after taking a pill. asleep."

Lin Heng took the hot tea and drank it, and asked him to pour another bowl, "If it's still like this tomorrow morning, I'd better ask the imperial doctor to come and take a look to rest assured. Daddy is not here, so nothing can go wrong. Before he left, Daddy explained to me Yes, please take good care of your grandmother and sister."

"Okay, you look like a grown-up." Daiyu smiled and picked up the work just now, "Come and see, what decorations do you want in the middle, don't turn around and embroider for you and don't like it."

Lin Heng smiled and said, "It's fine for my sister to make up her mind. I don't like it anymore. It's just that I have something else I want to ask my sister."

Daiyu also stopped gesticulating the belt in her hand, and said seriously, "What's so serious about it, instead of looking for Mr., you're asking about me instead."

Lin Heng said, "I'm afraid only my sister can tell me about this. Didn't you tell me to stay away from that Jia Baoyu last time? What exactly do you mean?"

Daiyu paused for a while, "Why are you talking about him all of a sudden? Did you see him today?"

"Yes, he is here today, and he is here with Feng Ziying from the Feng family." Lin Heng thought for a while and said, "I can't tell, but I saw him very warmly today, just like when I was at Jia's in the past. It's very different. I hid twice and he didn't seem to notice. Before I left, he pulled me to let me go to Jia's house. When I went back to Jia's house, I was treated poorly. He was so courteous for nothing. Panicked, as if something was going to happen."

Daiyu chuckled, "Could it be that what I said made you think so much, because you knew he was absurd and stubborn, and didn't want you to follow suit. He is just like that. He was a devil at home. When he met someone, he would If you like it, you can hold it in your heart, and if you don't like it, you can step on the mud, and don't care what he does. Just hide behind and don't be entangled by him. "

Only then did Lin Heng feel relieved, "So that's the case, so I feel relieved. It seems that what I heard in the past that he likes to eat rouge the most is also true. Didn't everyone say that the second uncle is good at raising children and managing the family well, but this is the one who gave birth to him?" The second cousin is actually such a person. If you ask me, he is not as sensible as Lan Er, even if he is as smooth-tongued as Cousin Lian, he is better than him."

Daiyu said seriously, "What are you talking about? After all, you are your elders. It's your turn to make irresponsible remarks. That's how my father and my husband taught you. If you say it, it will embarrass our Lin family. What other bastard words about eating rouge can be said by a man, if anyone who chews his tongue like this in front of you, if I find out, he will definitely beat him up and drive him out!"

The two maids who followed Lin Heng immediately knelt down and said repeatedly, "Miss, please forgive me, it's not what the slaves said."

Seeing that Daiyu was so angry, Lin Heng hurriedly explained, "It has nothing to do with them, I heard it at Jia's house before. Good sister, I will never dare to say it again in the future, sister, please forgive me."

Only then did Daiyu give up, and gave Lin Heng a few more instructions, and then she heard that Mrs. Tang had gotten up, and the two siblings rushed over together.
