The Jade of the Red Chamber

Taibai Juli and Lin Zhenyu felt hot when they looked at Shang Shuiyang. He didn't know if it was his own illusion. He felt that Shuiyang looked at him a little differently than before. Pale, it seems that he has suffered some kind of blow.

Withdrawing his gaze, Shui Yang Shi took a sip of the teacup, feeling a little headache, these days he always had that kind of dream, but the protagonist was still this kid, which made him dare not fall asleep... …

Hmph, there is a steady stream of rewards from the royal father for the beautiful maids. Those palace maids are tired of seeing them. Well, there should be another yard. Ask Qin Shu to pack it up and send it to Zhongshun. Anyway, there are quite a few of them. The people who belonged to him returned to their original owners?As for the emperor, his reputation of doing things in his own way has been hanging around all the time. That Concubine Wan's mouth is just for the emperor to hum a few times and give a few maids from her palace.

It is said that all the princes in the palace are specially taught about this matter, but he has always been cruel. He took a look at the group of gorgeous women and then slammed the door and left. Because of his "prestige" and his brother's protection, those people would not dare Come to him and squawk.It's not that he hasn't seen Huanxi Buddha, spring｜gong paintings, etc., but if he is asked to hug those so-called beauties, he would rather have... dreams every night, and sleep well every night!

Looking at this kid in high spirits today, without any worries, can you not feel depressed?And seeing this person, his smooth back and misty eyes in the dream will appear in front of his eyes... Shui Yang didn't dare to think about it, and a blush quietly appeared in the back of his ears.

"Master! Uncle Xi, Mr. Jin, and Mr. Gu have all won!" Qiu Qian came in to report. "Hit it?!" Zhenyu said happily.

Qiuqian laughed and said, "Uncle Xi won six places in the test! Mr. Jin won 22, and Mr. Gu won [-]!" Shui Yang raised his eyebrows, and they were all in the front row.

Zhenyu was very happy, and said: "Go, send them the boxes I brought from the south! The mahogany ones belong to Jin Kang, the ancient swords belong to Shuangyou, and the ones in the boxes are painted by Qingzhi. Said to congratulate them first, and then gather and celebrate after they are free for a few days!"

Frowning and loosening, loosening and wrinkling, seeing the smile on the boy's face, Shui Yang put the teacup on the table, touched the half-worn purse hanging on his body, feeling a little uncomfortable, Zhenyu gave it to herself from the south. Other than this purse, the gift I gave was a jade bell, and the jade bell was for Xue Bao. I don’t know who made this purse for him. At that time, it was given to him with the bell in it, but he also took this half-old purse like a jade bell. Baoxiang hung up right then, and Shuiyang felt a little suffocated.

Lin Zhenyu was smiling, just in time to see Shui Yang touching the purse in a daze, eyes lit up and said: "Do you also think this purse is well made?"

Shui Yang was depressed, looking at the young man's bright eyes, he still nodded.Zhenyu moved to his side, reached out to touch the purse, and proudly said: "This net is made by mother! The purse is made by mother! Isn't it beautiful? Mother and mother's hands are very coincidental!"

It was cloudy and sunny in an instant, and Shui Yang felt that the purse was much heavier. He knew that the child had a deep relationship with his two mothers—the biological mother and the adoptive mother. This purse was probably made by Mrs. Lin when she was in good health, representing the two mothers. Mother's love for Zhenyu.Seeing that it was preserved so well, he knew that Zhenyu cherished it, but now he gave it to him, which made him feel hot. He was happy and felt that it was a bit bad to take this important thing to Zhenyu, and he was reluctant to return it to him.

Looking at that happy and tangled look, Zhenyu knew what Shuiyang was thinking, patted the purse on her body lightly, and said with a smile: "I still have two. I got two at that time. My mother has always liked you. This is for you." Zhenyu smiled lightly, with deep nostalgia in her eyes, and he was much calmer when he mentioned Jia Min.

"Zhen'er..."

When Zhenyu raised her head, she fell into the worry in Shuiyang's deep eyes, her heart warmed up, she had such a friend, what more could she ask for!She smiled and said: "Don't worry, I understand! My mother is gone, but my father and Daiyu Fuyu are still there. I have to protect them well, so my mother will be happy too."

Shui Yang looked at the child's serious and resolute expression, and touched his heart, how many times is this the first time?My heart is hot...

A few days later, Zhenyu invited a few friends to Taibailou for a drink, and Shui Yang also wandered indifferently.

On the second floor, it is still Jiang Nanchun, Xi Shuangyou looks steady, Jin Kang smiles elegantly, Gu Qingzhi leans on the back of the chair like soft mud, and glances at the older girl and younger daughter-in-law passing by the window with wolf eyes.

When Zhenyu pushed open the door, what she saw was this scene, Xi Shuangyou smiled, and Jin Kang said: "I invite you to drink but you are late, huh?"

Lin Zhenyu pulled out the chair and sat down.Shui Yang sat next to him.

The three arched their hands at him.Zhenyu smiled and said: "I'm sorry, I was delayed by a bad idea."

In fact, it was just something that happened at Jia’s house. Lin Zhenyu hired a small kitchen in her yard on the grounds that she had different tastes and that she often respected the old lady’s southern dishes. The three brothers and sisters’ meals, Desserts are prepared in this small kitchen.Because of the affection of relatives, the ingredients for the small kitchen were originally compradored by the Rongguo Mansion, but this morning, the mother of medicine came to report, and some of the ingredients delivered were substandard, and even the portion was wrong!

Zhenyu knew that the compradors of Jia's family were all treacherous and slippery masters, but he didn't expect to be so blatant. He sneered in his heart: "I'm afraid this is someone's manipulation. It's okay if my brothers and sisters are weak and tough, but if you look at them Put it on the face of relatives, I'm afraid all the maids and servants in this mansion will be sizing up and bullying me!"

But he didn't say anything. After all, they were just young masters and young ladies living here, and they will live in his house soon. It doesn't matter if they reprimand a few servants. I'm afraid they will end up with a reputation of being domineering and domineering. They are not worthy of them because of this villain. Lost grace.

Zhenyu asked people to throw away those ingredients in front of everyone, and sent someone to settle in Taibai for a day's meals, snacks and fresh fruits, and also reserved a table for the old lady, only saying to eat some fresh food from outside That's all.

On the contrary, Chuxue went to Sister Feng's place in person, and presented the embroidery from Jinxiufang, a famous store in the capital, and the purse made by Daiyu herself for the elder sister, chatted with Sister Feng Ping'er for a long time, and then left.

Sister Feng was suspicious, and after a while, Ping'er found out about the matter in Xuehan Courtyard, and everyone in the house was discussing it in private. When the brothers and sisters of the Lin family came, they gave 1 taels of silver!

Sister Feng frowned, thought for a while, and said: "Those people are too reckless, Ping'er, go and tell Wu Xindeng's wife, don't think that you are bullying students like this because you are looking at Uncle Lin, Miss Lin, and Miss Lin's good sex." If it is true that Uncle Lin said something in front of the old lady, there are good fruits for them to eat!" He smiled and said to himself: "The brothers and sisters are smart and generous!" He sighed: "Look at Sister Lin's craftsmanship, it's amazing. ...I still think about our eldest sister, it is really the upbringing of everyone!"

Jia's mother also knew about this matter, although she didn't say anything, she also dealt with it in private, and sent some expensive ornaments to the three brothers and sisters, only praising them for their filial piety.Lin Zhenyu ordered the ingredients for the small kitchen to be compradored by the Lin family in the future, and Mother Jia and Sister Feng turned a blind eye and acquiesced.

With this move, Zhenyu successfully separated the things at the entrance of Xuehan Courtyard and Luomei Pavilion from Jia's Mansion. As for the 1 taels of silver that he said to spend for their brothers and sisters, since he gave it away, he never thought that it could be used in other places. For my own family, I just spent money to buy peace, but the money is not so easy to get, and it will come in handy sooner or later.

Qing Zhi lazily said: "You can have something bad on your mind, but it's just a small matter. Now that you are far away in the capital, Uncle Lin has always been relaxed with you, isn't it like a fish in water!"

Raising her eyebrows, Zhenyu asked Xi Shuangyou, what kind of madness is this?

Xi Shuangyou held back a smile on his sharp-edged face, and said in a low voice, "Qingzhi is jealous. Uncle Gu found out about Qingzhi's drinking at Jiuyan Pavilion before the test. In the turmoil, Uncle Gu ordered his confidant to come to the capital to guard Qing Zhi, and he did not let him out until the trial, and even replaced all his maids with maids and servants!"

Zhenyu couldn't help laughing out loud, Gu Qingzhi loves beauties, but he just likes to look at them, and I haven't seen him get involved in any in these years.It’s just that Uncle Gu’s trick is quite ruthless. Who doesn’t know Qingzhi’s temperament—it’s uncomfortable not to see a lot of beauties in a day. According to his words, beauties, you just need to look at them from a distance, and you will feel refreshed when you see them~ Sorrowful Glancing at the bad friend, Gu Qingzhi was aggrieved: "Hmph!"

Jin Kang said with a smile: "Now that the test has passed, according to Uncle Gu's opinion, Qing Zhi will be engaged after the palace test!"

"Oh? Miss from the Wu family?" Zhenyu's eyes lit up and she asked enthusiastically.

"No, no!" Jin Kang acted mysteriously, "After hearing about Qingzhi's 'temper', Mrs. Wu has hurriedly engaged Ms. Wu, and they will marry next month."

"Which one is that?"

Jin Kang gave a dry cough, then looked at Zhenyu again, um, the teacup is very stable, very calm, very good.So he said: "The second daughter of the Li family in Yangzhou!"

"Pfft! Cough cough... what!" Zhenyu regained his composure, and Shui Yang raised his hand to give him a sigh of relief. Before he could calm down, he hurriedly asked, "It's the Miss Li family who is known as 'fake girl, real hero' "Jin Kang nodded calmly, Gu Qingzhi's face was full of pain~ This Miss Li's family is not an ugly girl, on the contrary, according to the wives of the other families, she is still a beautiful woman with Liu waist and eyebrows, but this Miss Li even if she lets go She is also a special person in modern times—not to mention her natural talent, but her father, the current prefect of Yangzhou, loves her very much, and specially invited a few female bodyguards to teach her. This is good, this Li The young lady's strength has a skill meeting, I'm afraid most men will only be beaten when they meet.

That's all, although it's rare in the south, it's rare to cause some gossip, but the women in the north are much more generous, and her family has foreign blood, and it's not uncommon. Miss Li has always had a very good reputation, and all the wives of the government know her. Knowledgeable and reasonable, gentle and generous, usually do not do those things.But this Ms. Li has one thing - she hates the so-called "flirty" wit the most in her life!It is said that there was a Yangzhou dandy who claimed to be a romantic/good woman during a incense offering. Miss Li was sitting in the sedan chair, but her big maid pointed at the young man and almost beat the dandy to 'no way'!

Unfortunately, Qingzhi happened to violate her taboo, and this would fall (lao) into her hands, tsk tsk... Zhenyu looked at Qingzhi's body with sympathy in her eyes.

Qingzhi became angry from embarrassment, pointing at the calm Shuangyou, the smiling Jin Kang, and the happy Zhenyu, and said in a bad mood: "Don't laugh at me, I will laugh at you one day! Shuangyou is also fifteen now, Is Aunt Xi not in a hurry? Jin Kang is one year older than me. Your marriage has already been arranged. I heard that she is Aunt Jin’s niece! Zhenyu, Uncle Lin sees you as eyeballs. Are you marrying a housewife?" As soon as the words finished, Qing Zhi felt his whole body go cold, and when he looked up, he saw Shui Yang, who had been listening to their chatter and jokes, who had been an invisible person, gave him a sharp look.

Jin Kang immediately stopped smiling. He was annoyed by that cousin. If it wasn't for the face of his mother, such a mean and philistine girl would have found a way to get rid of her marriage, otherwise she wouldn't have dragged on for a few years and refused to get married. .

Putting down the teacup, Shuangyou glanced at Zhenyu, and said with a smile, "I'm not in a hurry, you also know about our family's situation, my mother said that she will only engage me if I agree, the old man will not listen."

Speaking of which, both Jin Kang and Qingzhi glanced at him with envy and jealousy. They both knew that the Xi family was different from other families. The Xi family started with military exploits, and now most of them are military officers who have been on the battlefield. Perhaps because of this, the population of the Xi family is very simple. Like Uncle Xi, there is only Aunt Xi and no one in the house. The most out of the ordinary in his family is Xi Shuangyou's uncle in the capital. He has a wife and two concubines. Even Uncle Lin, who is always known for his beloved wife, has more than him. Rao It was like this, Xi Shuangyou also couldn't understand it, and bought a house and moved out when he had money, thinking his house was messy.

Aunt Xi is a generous and forthright woman. Xi Shuangyou and his elder brother were well educated. Elder brother Xi only got married when he was in his prime. Now he just got a daughter.Because of this, Xi Shuangyou is very popular with the wives of all families, and there are many more people who ask his family for inquiries or even matchmaking than the other three!

Shui Yang just glanced viciously at Gu Qingzhi, who was speaking evil, and saw Xi Shuangyou looking at Zhenyu intentionally or unintentionally when he said this. , it seems that I should get someone to investigate again to see if these people have that "bad" tendency~ Seeing the flushed look on the boy's face, Shui Yang looked away, um, although his own The child looks good, but as a good friend, there's no need for him to lose his mind because of his good-looking friend, Shui Yang thought a little uncomfortable.

Lin Zhenyu picked up Gu Qingzhi's fan and fiddled with it a few times, showing her small white teeth, and said, "Master, don't worry, the master who showed me the face once said that you must have a weak crown before you can marry." He waved his hand again He said with a heroic attitude of scolding Fang Qiu: "Don't worry, a man will start a family first and then start a career! You are as beautiful as a flower, with red sleeves and fragrance, even I envy you." Pretentiously: "Hey~ I envy~"

Gu Qingzhi: "Tch!" Jin Kang: "Tch!" Xi Shuangyou drank tea lightly, his face darkened.

"Really?" Lin Zhenyu turned to Shui Yang to find an ally.Shui Yang was silent.

Gu Qingzhi: "Master? Master Lin Zhenyu?"

Zhenyu was proud: "Master Huiyan and his party, do you know? My mother once met the master when she was in Yangzhou, and it was for us three brothers and sisters to see it."

Several people all stared at him. What kind of luck is this person? That's a wise eye!It's rare to meet, even if you encounter it, it's rare to count!Let him put it as easy as buying Chinese cabbage.
