Jialan: Crossing the Red Chamber

The side came out, it must be.

Qi Yi helped Jia Huan into the study and ordered without looking back: "Uncle Qi, bring a pot of new tea."

Jia Lan stayed at the door for a long time and realized.

As soon as Jia Lan sat down, he said, "Ten days later, there will be a hunting competition in the Beijing Palace. Uncle Bao invited me to go. Will you go?"

Jia Huan replied without thinking, "No."

Jia Lan asked in a daze, "Why?"

Jia Huan snorted, and turned his head away from speaking.

Qi Yi sat at the table, stroking the teacup silently.

Jia Lansi made a move and said, "The paddock is so big, how long can he stay in front of you?" Besides Baoyu, who could make Jia Huan so disgusted.

Jia Huan insisted: "I would rather not go than follow him in."

Jia Lan didn't know when Jia Huan hated Baoyu so much, she had nothing to say for a while.

The atmosphere suddenly became cold.

After a while, Qi Yi suddenly said, "Beijing Prince's Mansion? Is it the Huiwu Paddock of Wangfu Hunting Garden?"

Jia Lan asked suspiciously, "You know?"

Qi Yi snorted softly and didn't speak.The expression is faint, making it impossible to guess.

Jia Lan turned to Jia Huan and said weakly, "You don't want to go."

Jia Huan said: "Why do you have to let me go?" Jia Lan replied: "Don't you like to see some strange things? There must be many things in the paddock that you have never seen before."

Jia Huan was at a loss for words.

Qi Yi saw Jia Huan's struggling appearance of wanting to go but not wanting to go, and said, "It doesn't matter, if you want to go, don't go this time, just go next time."

Jia Huan thought he meant that he couldn't go this time, but he would definitely have a chance to go in the future.He was right after thinking about it, so he said to Jia Lan, "I don't want to go, you can go with Brother Bao."

Jia Lan pouted, "If I knew you wouldn't go, I wouldn't go either." It's really boring.

Jia Huan thumped his shoulder and sneered, "Childish."

Jalan gave him a blank look.I don't know who is naive to give up what I like for a hated person.

Ever since he knew that he could try his skills, Jia Lan has been working hard all the time, practicing every day, hoping that he can enjoy his addiction on the day of hunting.

But good things always take a long time.

At the end of April, Concubine Jia sent Xia Shouzhong to send 120 taels of silver, and asked her to go to Qingxu Temple for a three-day safe offering from the first day to the third day of May.

It was originally said that only Mrs. Wang Xifeng, Mrs. Jia's wife, and several young masters could go there. Later, someone told me that the old lady was happy, and as long as there was anyone in the garden who wanted to go, just follow.For a moment, all the servants in Jia's mansion, big and small, were very excited, and urged the master to go.

Jia Lan was entangled by Caiwen and Tingling, so she went to apologize to Baoyu for not being able to attend the appointment. When she arrived at Yihong Courtyard, she found that Baoyu had asked the prince of Beijing for leave on the day she heard about the funeral, and was discussing with Daiyu. Let's see what show is good.

Jia Lan was angry and disappointed at the same time, so he didn't say anything more.

The days of praying for blessings and practicing were very boring, and Jia's mother was in high spirits after having a day of peace offerings at Qingxu Temple.Later, someone reported that Jia's family held a funeral ceremony here, and the non-commissioned officers and generals from the surrounding families who came to pray for blessings all came to give gifts.

When Jia's mother saw such a mobilization of teachers and people, she couldn't help but feel regretful in her heart. Because of Baoyu and Daiyu's health, Jia's mother returned to Jia's mansion in advance.Seeing that Wang Xifeng couldn't persuade her, she left behind a few self-serving maids and drove the others back to Jia's mansion.

It was rare for Li Wan to leave the mansion to enter the temple once, so he also stayed to pray for blessings.Jia Lan and Jia Huan naturally stayed behind.

All the princes and brothers in the temple have not yet left. When Baoyu was there, several people had a great time watching plays, drinking, and having fun. Now that Baoyu is gone, a lot of fun is lost.

Feng Ziying sighed that even the scenery seemed to be taken away by Baoyu, and several people laughed.

Holding the wine glass, Xue Pan stared at the opera singer on the stage, grinning and said, "I don't know if Brother Bao has taken away the scenery, I just know that this person has not been taken away."

Jia Lian followed his gaze, and immediately lost his eyes and smiled, "I don't know when such a seductive character appeared in this capital."

Jia Rong said: "It's someone invited by Uncle Bao. I think you've seen it before."

Feng Ziying looked over and said with a smile, "So it was him."

Xue Pan asked anxiously, "Why do you all know, but I don't?"

Feng Ziying laughed and said, "You're not in Beijing, it's a good thing you don't know about it, but Second Master Lian didn't know about it either, it's a little unreasonable."

Seeing his determined look, Jia Lian stared at the people on the stage thinking for a while, and suddenly realized: "Could it be him? Erlang with a cold face?"

Feng Ziying and Jia Rong laughed, "Look, don't you know this?"

Jia Lian said with a smile: "I heard that he likes acting the most, but I didn't expect that he is such a romantic person."

Jia Rong said: "If you don't have any skills, how can you be romantic in Beijing?"

Xue Pan was watching the trio playing riddles, but he didn't mention their names, he couldn't help but jumped up and said, "Who are you talking about?" It didn't matter that he jumped, he just swung his hand onto the jug sent by his servants.

The jug shattered on the table across the road with a bang, startling Jia Lan who was sitting next to him.

Jalan looked over blankly.Xue Pan hurried over to apologize, and while apologizing, he reached out to touch Jia Lan's hand on the table.

Jia Lan quickly retracted her hands into her sleeves, and said calmly, "Lan'er is fine, please return Uncle Xue to the table."

Xue Pan looked at Jia Lan's speechless resistance, then looked at Jia Huan's gloomy and vigilant movements beside him, and turned around embarrassingly.As soon as he returned to the table, he saw Jia Lian looking at him with a half-smile.

Xue Pan laughed and said, "What's the matter, Second Master Lian has something to say?"

Jia Lian stroked the wine glass and said with a light smile, "It's nothing, just a word."

Xue Pan said, "Say it."

Jia Lian raised his head and drank a glass of wine, and said: "In Beijing, you can play with anyone, but for these young masters in Jia's mansion, you'd better not move your mind at all."

Xue Pan has always been used to obedience, such warning words made him very unhappy, so he snorted coldly without thinking: "Second Master Lian actually talked about the relationship between uncle and nephew at this time, I'm afraid he also wanted to wait Let's get angry with this beauty."

Bang, Jia Lian's wine glass fell on the table, he stood up and sneered at Xue Pan, "Don't use your dirty thoughts on everyone."

"You..." Xue Pan couldn't help but want to step forward to reason.Jia Rong quickly grabbed him and winked at Feng Ziying.

Feng Ziying also held Jia Lian down and said, "Second master, my second master Lian, brother Xue is just joking, don't get angry, don't get angry." Then he glanced at Xue Pan.

Although Xue Pan looks clumsy, but at the critical moment, the nature of a businessman emerges.He had just arrived in the capital, and he might have to rely on the Jia family for a long time to come. It would be extremely inappropriate to offend the Jia family's stewards at this time.I turned around a few times in my heart, rolled my eyes, laughed and said: "You see, Second Brother Lian is so angry, I just heard someone say that Second Brother Lian is the most worried person in Rongning Second Mansion the day before yesterday, and I don't believe it. Just try it out, Second Brother Lian, don't be angry, I'll punish myself with three cups... No, nine cups, nine cups, it's finally over."

Jia Lian didn't know that he was just looking for an excuse, but he continued to say: "Don't flatter me, I'm not the most worried person in Jia's mansion..."

Jia Rong hurriedly interjected: "Of course, we all know that now the Jia mansion is in the hands of Second Aunt Lian, so Second Aunt Lian is still under the care of Second Uncle Lian? After all, Second Uncle Lian is the most powerful. "

Jia Lian was very happy when he heard that, so he talked about how virtuous Wang Xifeng was on weekdays and how he took good care of him, showing off triumphantly, as if he had completely forgotten what happened just now.

Jia Rong and the others didn't know Jia Lian's status in the family, so they all held back their smiles and echoed it. Xue Pan was also paying for the wine and being courteous, and he was a little relieved.

Speaking of which, Jia Lan saw that these people were still noisy and cold at the beginning, and thought something had happened. When he was considering whether to go and have a look, he found that they had reconciled as before, and they were talking about the girl in Huajie and Liuxiang.

Jia Lan had no choice but to sit back on the spot with black hair, and continued to listen to Jia Huan's boring lecture on ancient times.

Opera didn't appeal much to Jia Lan, it was only because Jia Huan was too entangled that he went out of the Taoist temple to watch the opera with him.

However, opera doesn't appeal much to Jia Huan, it's just because there are too many things to be excited about recently, Jia Huan can't bear it by himself, and urgently needs someone to vent.That person can only be Jalan.

Jia Lan supported his head, opened his eyes that were about to close, and listened to Jia Huan's talk about how powerful Qi Yi is, how knowledgeable he is, how he is young and successful, and so on.

He restrained his desire to yawn, thinking to himself why did he sit in such a boring place and listen to the boring third uncle talk about such boring things?

Just as he was wandering in the sky, there was another commotion at Jia Lian's table next to him.Looking back casually, he froze.

There was a man standing beside Jia Lian, looking at him and smiling. He was wearing a white long gown with a green bead-inlaid belt tied around it, with green edges rolled around the cuffs and neckline. There is a lot of charm, the eyebrows flying obliquely into the temples are full of color, and the slightly raised lips seem to have a touch of red that hasn't been wiped off, but the red lips are light and charming.

"Lan'er and Huan'er come here to meet the number one dude in the capital." Jia Lian greeted Jia Lan and Jia Huan with a big smile.

Jalan walked over slowly.

The man opened his thin lips slightly, and said with a smile: "I know Lan Er."

Jia Lian asked in surprise, "How do you know?"

The man just laughed.

Jia Lan had no choice but to bow her hands and sighed, "Brother Liu, we meet again."

It was Liu Xianglian who came here.

17, clever, plus clever

Liu Xianglian didn't seem to talk much, she kept drinking with a light smile at the table, occasionally interjecting a word.When talking about the first meeting with Jia Lan, it was just a word.Jia Rong, Feng
