Jialan: Crossing the Red Chamber

Knowing that the two wanted to go together, they couldn't help but secretly smiled.

Jia's mother rubbed his hair and said, "Our family's Lan'er is no worse than Jun'er. In terms of filial piety, there is no one in Jia's family."

Li Wan pursed his lips and smiled, but didn't speak.Wang Xifeng laughed and teased him.Jia Lan cuddled in Jia Mu's arms and acted like a baby.

After talking and joking for a while, a servant girl in the east courtyard came to report that the Eldest Master was ill today and could not come to pay his respects, which is really unfilial.Mother Jia raised her hand to interrupt the servant girl, and only asked how her condition was.

The servant girl probably got up too hard last night and got the cold.

Mother Jia waved her hand, saying she got it.Turning to Jialan Jiahuan, he said: "He is an elder, he is not in good health, you two should go and pay his respects."

Jialan Jiahuan answered yes and went out.

The horses and chariots are all ready outside.After getting into the car, all the boys surrounded him and went to Jia Amnesty's place.

When I saw Jia Amnesty, I just felt a cold occasionally, nothing serious.The two greeted, and Jia Amnesty ordered, "Take my brother and sit in the wife's room."

When I arrived at Mrs. Xing's house, Baoyu came in without saying a word.

Mrs. Xing saw him coming in, she hurriedly stretched her hand into her bosom, caressed him in every possible way, and asked questions with a smile.

Jia Huan saw Mrs. Xing and Baoyu sitting on the same mat, and she made friends with Baoyu in every possible way. She felt uncomfortable, so she winked with Jia Lan to leave.Jia Lan had no choice but to follow him, and got up together to say goodbye.

Seeing them leaving, Baoyu got up too, but was pulled down by Mrs. Xing and said, "Sit down first, and I'll talk to you." Baoyu had to sit down.Mrs. Xing said to Jia Lan and the two: "Go back, each of you will greet your mother for me. Your girls, sisters, and sisters are all here. It made me dizzy. I won't let you eat today." They all agreed and went out.

As soon as he went out and got in the car, Jia Huan said angrily, "You see, the eldest lady treats Baoyu so well, but she treats us like this." Jia Lan lifted the curtain of the car to look at the weather outside, and said casually, "Bao Er Uncle is likable, you have to admit it."

Jia Huan snorted.

After hearing no voice for a while, Jia Lan looked at Jia Huan in surprise, but seeing Jia Huan's gloomy face and surly eyes, he couldn't help asking, "What are you thinking?"

Jia Huan snorted, "I also want to leave home with a cloth bag on my back like Jun'er said."

Jia Lan laughed and said, "You have a good idea. What do you eat, drink, and live in when you are out? Don't you have money, do you really want to travel around the world step by step?"

Jia Huan couldn't help being startled, and finally curled his lips and said, "One step at a time is better than being left out at home."

Jia Lan shook his head and sighed "You", but naturally he didn't care at all.

The next morning, Jia Lan wakes up and washes up, and plans to go to the front yard to find Jia Huan to go to a private school together, but at the corner gate, she unexpectedly meets Baoyu, who has always been a late riser.Jia Lan found it novel, and after saluting respectfully, he couldn't help but ask, "Second Uncle woke up early today, did he find something interesting again?"

Baoyu took the whip from Mingyan, got on the horse, and said to Jia Lan, "The prince of Beijing is free today, and wants to meet friends with poetry and wine, so call me to watch the show."

Jia Lan understood that this was a tea party, so she smiled and said, "Then second uncle, walk slowly, be careful on the road."

Baoyu pulled the reins around half a circle, turned her head and asked with a smile, "Would you like to go to broaden your horizons, Lan'er? But there are many romantic and handsome people going, I hope that your trip will be worthwhile."

Jia Lan quickly waved his hands, "It's not good, it's not good, going so rashly will definitely cause inconvenience to Second Uncle."

Baoyu said: "What's the inconvenience? The Prince of Beijing is very hospitable. What's more, you are my nephew, who would dare to make things difficult for you?"

Jia Lan just smiled and waved his hands again and again.

Baoyu said: "You are too rigid, what can you do if you don't go to class for a day. If father knows that you are going to the banquet of the prince of Beijing, he will definitely not let you go to the family school." Then he said a few words in dissatisfaction, Seeing that Jia Lan always refused, he snorted coldly, pulled the reins, and galloped away.

Jia Lan took a few steps back to avoid the flying dust, looked at Baoyu's back, shook her head and smiled.Earlier I heard that Prince Beijing favored Qin Keqing since he met Baoyu at the funeral, and invited him to the mansion many times to recite poems and drink tea.Seeing it today, it is true.

His second uncle is really cute.

After walking two steps, Jia Lan stopped again and sighed.He looked up at the rising sun in the east, and said with emotion that it was a bit regretful in his heart.

King Beijing Jing, idol, I just missed it. I don't know when I will have this chance next time.But then again, even if there is, he will probably still refuse it like today.

A feeling similar to "feeling close to home".

What if that person is far from what he imagined?

14. No solution, centrifugal

After school in the evening, because Jia Huan was going to Mrs. Wang's place to copy the "Diamond Sutra" every day, the two broke up at the corner gate of the Qianfu.

When they got home, Li Wan didn't go out. When Jia Lan came back, he asked him to change his clothes and read to her.While reading a book, Bi Yue suddenly ran over and shouted: "It's not good, it's not good." Li Wan frowned and said, "It's a big deal, we can't be so rash." Bi Yue stopped quickly, lowered her head and dared not speak.

Jia Lan said: "What happened, please speak slowly, don't worry."

Bi Yue raised her head and panicked, "Second Master Bao was scalded by lamp oil on his face while he was reading."

Li Wan asked in surprise, "Is it serious?" Bi Yue replied, "I heard that half of my face is covered with lamp oil." Jia Lan asked, "Why did you get burned by the lamp oil?"

Biyue glanced at him, lowered her head and said falteringly: "I heard from sister Jin Chuan'er in the wife's room that it was... the third master."

Jia Lan was stunned, and said angrily, "Nonsense, third uncle doesn't do such things." Li Wan frowned, and scolded, "What's the rush?"

Jia Lan reacted and quickly restrained her breath, but still insisted: "It's definitely not the third uncle's work." Li Wan said: "I don't believe it either, let's go and see."

The two went out to Yihong Courtyard.

Baoyu was lying on the bed, separated by the gauze curtain, Li Wan was not alarmed, just asked a few girls what was going on, Xiren cried, "How do we know what's going on, go to Madam's to study well, and come back soon It's like this."

Qingwen wiped her tears and said: "It's all caused by the third master, and the third master is only with him. He must not have done it on purpose. I usually don't like our second master, and often make irresponsible remarks..."

Jia Lan became angrier as he listened, and was about to refute, when Baoyu in the inner room suddenly shouted: "What are you talking about, didn't you say that I burned it myself, it has nothing to do with Huan'er, whoever said it again just tore his mouth "The girls just wiped their tears and didn't speak.

When Li Wan saw Baoyu talking, he lifted the curtain and went in with Jia Lan. After asking a few words, Baoyu said that he had applied the medicine to reduce poison and swelling, and he would be fine in a few days.Seeing that Li Wan's mother and son were all right, they went back.

At night, when Jia Lan was in the province, he met Jia Huan and asked him about it. Jia Huan said angrily: "Obviously he knocked Caiyun down by accident while molesting Caiyun himself, but everyone said I did it." Everyone in Jia's house knew Jia Huan didn't like Baoyu, and seeing that something happened to him, Jia Huan was the only one around, so he naturally doubted, and Jia Huan had never been able to speak. .

Seeing his angry look, Jia Lan was a little worried. Jia Huan said, "Let's let this matter go like this. They won't believe anything I say anyway." Jia Lan held his hand and said, "I believe it."

Jia Huan laughed and said, "I know you believe it." Jia Lan also laughed.

Jia Huan looked in the direction of the wall of Jia's mansion, looked at the sky, and suddenly said softly: "Lan'er, just watch, sooner or later I will leave this mansion and never come back again."

Jia Lan was taken aback and asked hurriedly, "Where are you going?" Jia Huan looked at him anxiously, and smiled, "Don't worry, if I want to leave, I will wait until you grow up. No one dares to bully you before leaving."

Jia Lan glared at him and said, "Nonsense again." Jia Huan smiled and patted his head, but said nothing.Looking at the slightly sad smile that was different from the past, Jia Lan couldn't help being stunned.

Although Baoyu didn't want people to talk about it, no matter where he went, he could hear small mocking voices in every corner of the yard.Jia Huan's face became darker day by day.

Jia Lan watched from the sidelines, anxious in his heart. Now he especially misses Jia Huan's way of tempering his temper and letting go of his anger.In that case, it would be nothing but going crazy, unlike now, it looks more and more like the low pressure before the storm.

Another two days later, just after school, Ming Qing quickly came to report that Second Master Bao and Second Grandma Lian were crazy, and asked to go home and have a look.The two rushed home as soon as they heard this.When I arrived at Jia's mansion, Baoyu and Wang Xifeng were talking nonsense, and the other was looking for death and life, which was really scary.The attacker next to him cried out loudly, "What kind of evil is this?"

Looking at this scene, Jia Lan had a flash of inspiration in his mind. He pulled Jia Huan aside and asked, "Has Second Uncle Bao's godmother been to your house recently?" This person wrote that two villains cursed Baoyu and Wang Xifeng.

Jia Huan was a little strange, but still nodded and said, "Aunt Tian Ma came to talk to my mother the other day."

Jia Lan said: "Go home and ask Aunt Zhao if she took anything from Ma Daopo?" Jia Huan looked at him and said, "Do you doubt my mother?" His tone was a little angry.

Jia Lan lowered his hands and said, "It's not doubting, you just ask. The day before yesterday, Grandma scolded your mother for the second uncle being scalded. According to Aunt Zhao's temperament, she must hold a grudge. Just ask, Don't let her get into trouble. Even if it's not her, it can be regarded as a separation, and I feel more at ease. "

Jia Huan thought about it, so he went.

On the second day of school, Jia Huan told Jia Lan with a gloomy face that it was indeed Aunt Zhao who was the victim of Baoyu and Wang Xifeng.
