Jialan: Crossing the Red Chamber

This big servant, if anyone dares to lose it, be careful.

As soon as the ruthless words came out, everyone's heart to run away was half pulled back, and they all nodded in agreement.

Just as he was talking, Baoyu found a rare plaything, and called several people over and said happily, "Do you think this thing is fun?" As he spoke, he covered his face with the thing, and he seemed to be a different person.It turned out to be a mask.

Jia Rong smiled and said, "Everything that Second Uncle Bao wears looks good."

Baoyu said happily, "Then you take one too." He picked one and wanted to put it on for him, but Jia Rong couldn't, so he had to obey.

Baoyu saw that he had put it on, clapped his hands and said, "It's beautiful and beautiful. Let's take one each. Brother Lian's, Laner's, and Huaner's, here you are."

Several people couldn't help being happy seeing him laughing happily. They all took it and put it on, and then laughed at each other's grimaces.Baoyu put it on, turned around and saw the lantern riddle guesser again, so he ran over in a hurry, and several people followed quickly.

Jia Lan guessed a few lantern riddles and suddenly found it boring. These are almost all of the exams he passed in elementary school, so it can't be difficult.I was thinking about asking Jia Lian for a vacation and going to play by myself, but I didn't want to turn around and see a dough maker parading the street. I immediately thought it was interesting, and immediately followed, asking the old man to pinch a Monkey King.The old man's skill is quite good, but after a while, a lifelike Monkey King came out.

Jia Lan felt delighted when holding it. He only saw this kind of handicraft when he was very young, when his parents took him shopping and saw this monkey. Later, his parents were often away from him, let alone the monkey. led him to play.

Jia Lan watched Sun Wukong standing alone scratching his ears and cheeks, and chased after the old man who had left to pinch Monk Tang again.After pinching the monk, I want to pinch the old pig again.

At first, the old gentleman saw him pestering and endured it, and finally pressed the old pig's nose and said: "Did I pinch it just for you tonight?"

Jia Lan hurriedly raised his mask and laughed, "Don't worry about it, old man. I've never seen such a rare toy. I hope you can make it happen."

The old man was slightly taken aback when he saw him take off the Yaksha mask.Jia Lan's face is like a fan, his eyes are like stars, and he smiles like this, with a shy smile in it, which is very attractive.The old man saw that he was dressed elegantly and made of high-quality materials, so he knew that it was a kid from a rich family who had come out to play secretly. He felt a little distressed, so he helped him make Zhu Bajie and a Drifting Monk.

In the end, Jia Lan scratched his head embarrassingly, and squeezed another white dragon horse.Seeing Jia Lan's joyful face and jumping for joy, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes with a smile.

Jia Lan bowed vigorously, thanked him repeatedly, and then went to get the money from his bosom with a free hand. After groping for nothing, he suddenly remembered that the money was on Ming Qing, and he looked back and said, "Mingqing Mingqing?"

Suddenly a head popped out from under his eyes, and said with a smile, "Master, I'm here." Then, he took out silver from his pocket, handed it to the old man, and said, "My young master is a bull-tempered man, thank you very much I've waited."

Seeing that the master and servants were gentle and kind, the old man stroked his beard and gave a compliment, took the money, turned and walked into the crowd.

Jia Lan held the five noodles in his hand, and said to Ming Qingxi: "Do you think it looks good?"

Ming Qing looked at it and said, "It's the same as in the play."

Jia Lan also said, "I think so too." After examining her eyes again, she suddenly smiled and said, "Look how good these five are together. Wouldn't it be lonely to just take one?"

After hearing this, Mingqing secretly wondered why such a mournful remark came out so well, and said with a smile: "It's because I have a good heart, and I have to finish it if I don't keep pestering others."

When Jia Lan heard this, she felt a little embarrassed, and pretended to look around and said, "Who is following us?" Just after finishing speaking, a big man appeared in front of him, and said with a smile, "It's me, Brother Lang."

Jia Lan was even more pleased when he saw it. It was Jia Yong, a big servant who served the archery class, and said with a smile: "I am relieved to have an acquaintance like you here."

This time is crowded with people, but Jia Lan is not impatient. You know, the Lantern Festival in the previous life was spent on instant noodles or on the Internet. Very interesting.This was the first time he encountered such a cheerful atmosphere, and for a moment it was as if he had returned to his childhood, and he couldn't take it back.

After watching juggling for a while, he met a lion troupe on the road, and he asked the troupe owner to let him try it, and the troupe owner agreed when he saw that he was kind and charming.

I happily studied for a while, but because it was too strenuous, I put it down.Seeing other people dancing smoothly enviously, I couldn't help applauding repeatedly.

After playing the lion dance, he saw a candied haws seller on the side of the road, so he called Mingqing to buy it, but he didn't want to call a few times and no one answered, so he looked back and couldn't find it.Someone behind him cut through the crowd with difficulty and ran to him and said, "Mingqing may have lost his way."

Jia Lan was a little worried, and Jia Yong said, "It's okay, I've already told him that if he gets separated, we will gather at the teahouse next to the mansion garden at the second watch."

Jia Lan was relieved now, Jia Yong took out some money and asked, "Do you still want to eat gourds, Brother Lan?"

Jia Lan shook his head and said with a smile, "They've all gone away, don't eat, let's continue to look."

Jia Yong said casually: "Why don't you take the money first, since Mingqing is not here, it will be convenient for you if you want to buy something."

Jia Lan smiled and said, "No, you're behind me anyway, if I really need it, I'll ask you for it."

Jia Yong thought about it, so he put it away with a smile.

After wandering around for a while, when I reached the riverside of Dongjie, I saw someone set off a river lantern, so Jia Lan imitated one, wrote on a piece of paper wishing the family well-being, and clasped his hands together to see it drifting away.

Turning around and seeing something on the side of the road, he got in by relying on his small size, and it turned out to be an acrobatic performer.Sword dancing, pole jacking, jar juggling, juggling, etc. are dazzling. Jia Lan is like a child, with his hands blushing and applauding repeatedly. When he is in danger, he even covers his eyes and dares not look at it. Yes, it's really funny.

After watching for an indeterminate amount of time, I only scratched my hand before remembering that there was Jia Yong outside, so I quickly got out of him.It's just that there are people coming and going, and there is no shadow of Jia Yong.He felt a little sorry, but since he had made an agreement, it would not be too late to arrive at the teahouse at the second watch, so he was not in a hurry.

Walking around, watching, enjoying and having fun, I suddenly found a figure in a moon-white gown that looked like Jia Rong a few meters in front of me, so I hurried over.

But the man was not walking fast, but there were so many people in the middle, he chased for two streets before catching up, he ran behind the man, grabbed the man's sleeve, panting: "Brother Rong, brother Rong."

The man stopped in his tracks and turned his head, looking at him in a daze with a face wearing a yaksha mask.Seeing him not moving, Jia Lan pouted, "Brother Rong, why are you walking so fast?"

The man seemed to chuckle and said, "I didn't know someone was chasing me."

When Jia Lan heard the gentle and gentle voice, she suddenly felt strange, and without thinking, she raised her foot and lifted the mask on the man's face.

For a moment, Jia Lan only felt the bright fire trees and silver flowers on the side of the road, and the loud music of the crowd slowly faded away, leaving only the gentle and elegant smile of the person in front of him.He is not Baoyu's cheerful and clear spirit, nor Qin Zhong's amazing shyness and beauty, but a kind of elegance and elegance that makes people feel comfortable after seeing him.

His sword eyebrows were slightly raised, his phoenix eyes were smiling, his nose bridge was straight, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, his face was like white jade, and his smile was like a spring breeze.It suddenly appeared from behind the ferocious yaksha mask, making people wonder what night it is.

"Are you calling me?" the man asked softly, parting his lips.

Before Jia Lan could react, she just asked, "Aren't you Brother Rong?"

The man smiled, his eyebrows and eyes were raised, it was really touching, he said: "I am Brother Rong."

Jia Lan was a little dazed, and after thinking for a while, he said, "You are not my brother Rong."

The man's eyebrows and eyes were even more curved, and he asked, "How old are you?"

Jia Lan replied, "Ten years old."

The man laughed and said, "I'm eighteen, older than you, so I'm not your elder brother Rong?"

Jia Lan was stunned for a moment, and then turned his mind around twice before realizing that this man was bluffing him, so he glared and said, "My elder brother Rong is Rong with the prefix Cao, which Rong are you?"

Hearing what he said, the man seemed a little regretful, shook his head and said, "My Rong is not this Rong."

Jia Lan said: "Yes, then you still coax me to call you brother."

The man patted his head amusedly and said, "I'm older than you, why don't you call me brother?"

Jia Lan was about to say something, but he heard someone calling him behind him. Looking at the sound, it was Ming Qing calling the young master on a high-rise pavilion not far away. He waved to Ming Qing and shouted on tiptoe: " I'm here."

Seeing that he responded, Ming Qing looked at him straight away and stopped waving.

He was standing too high, and Jia Lan couldn't see clearly. Seeing him not moving, he was afraid that he would cry again, so he turned around and smiled at the man, "Someone is looking for me, let's go first."

Because I found someone, I couldn't help but feel relaxed, and the smile on my face returned to its usual relaxed and bright, but in the eyes of that person, it was more attractive than the street lights, and for a moment, I was stunned there.

Seeing that he had no words, Jia Lan cupped his hands and ran quickly towards the tall building.When Speed ​​stood in front of Ming Qing, he found that he was indeed crying, so he persuaded him for a while, and when it was over, he casually looked at the place where he was standing downstairs just now, but couldn't help being stunned.

The man was still there, with his head raised, his hands behind his back, looking at him intently, his lips slightly evoked a clear and shallow smile, imprinted under the colorful lights around him, like spring flowers.

Many years later, Jia Lan will still think of this scene often, and every time he thinks of it, a sentence pops up in his mind.

Suddenly looking back, the person was there, dimly lit.

10, nonsense, miss

At the end of the Lantern Festival, Jia Lan Mingqing went to the teahouse and waited for Jia Yong to go back together, but he didn't
