Jialan: Crossing the Red Chamber

Sleeping in the middle of the night, with your head hanging from the beam and your buttocks pierced, don't mention how tired you are.

Yi Yanqiu's thinking is slightly inclined to "a filial son can only be born under a stick", he believes that "only a strict teacher can produce a good student" and "education with a ruler is rough but effective".

But even with such hard work, Jalan is willing.

After a few days of getting along with each other, Jia Lan found that although Yi Yanqiu was strict, he had real talents and practical learning.To be honest, he has also listened to many teachers' lectures in his previous life and this life, and he even listened to many expert lectures in his previous life, but there are not many people who can understand the past and the present like Yi Yanqiu, and there are not many people who are academically profound.

Jia Lan listened to his lectures and didn't feel bored at all.Watching Yi Yanqiu take the knowledge in the book at his fingertips, and then refine it into easy-to-understand language, it is really a kind of enjoyment.

Jia Lan was even happier when other academics and editors from the Imperial Academy occasionally visited Yi Yanqiu's home.

Those who can enter the Hanlin Academy are of course not easy.

Jia Lan was listening to Yi Yanqiu and the members of the Hanlin Academy arguing about something or a word, debating long and short, listening with great interest.He didn't talk much, only when Yi Yanqiu asked about him, he would say a few words.But just these two sentences often make people pay attention to him, questioning whether these words are said by a young boy.

After a month or two like this, almost everyone in the Hanlin Academy knew that Master Yi had found a student, who was young and calm, intelligent and respectful, and his thinking was even clearer.

Jia Lan knew that there were many flattering and untrue words in it, and whenever Ming Qing mentioned it, he just laughed it off.

And Yi Yanqiu saw that he was so indifferent at such a young age, he couldn't help being happy, and he paid more attention when teaching him.

From working hard until November, the weather is getting colder and the daytime is much shorter than in summer. Yi Yanqiu Lian Jia Lan is young, and she leaves school an hour earlier every day.

But on this day, Jia Lan had just returned to Daoxiang Village after school, Li Wan was not at home, and Cai Wen said that he was in the old lady's room.Jia Lan wanted to go to pay her respects anyway, and besides, Jia Mu's room was also warm, so she simply put down her schoolbag and went directly to Jia Mu's place.

When he walked to the door, he heard the sound of warblers and swallows in the room, knowing that everyone in the Grand View Garden was there, he lifted the curtain and went in, walked around the jade screen facing him, and said with a smile: "It's freezing to death outside, you are happy." Just looked up Seeing that there were many people he didn't know in the room, he was taken aback for a moment, and Jia's mother shouted from above: "Lan'er is back, come here soon."

Jia Lan bowed to Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Li Wan and others, and walked to the upper seat. Jia's mother put her arms around him and said, "It's cold, but my son was frozen?"

Sitting on the other side, Baoyu pinched Jia Lan's face and said, "I told you to go out to class, you know it's cold now." Jia Lan giggled and didn't answer.

The old woman next to the seat stood up in surprise and said, "This is Lan'er?"

Jia Mu hurriedly said: "Dear family, take a look. This is Zhu'er's son. Lan'er comes forward and kowtows quickly. This is your grandma from your hometown." Jia Lan didn't recognize her either. Seeing tears in Li Wan's eyes, she knelt down and kowtowed, "Lan'er has seen grandma."

The old woman helped him up, pulled him into her arms, took a good look at him, and said, "He looks so cute, he looks like a good boy."

Jia Mu laughed and said, "No, Lan'er is the most obedient in our family, even Baoyu." Fan came to Beijing to visit relatives with his two daughters.

Then, Aunt Li pulled two girls over and said, "Come on, Lan'er, these are the second aunt and the third aunt." Jia Lan knew it was Li Wen and Li Qi, so she greeted them one by one.

Just after the introduction here, Mother Jia said again: "Lan'er, come here to meet your Aunt Xue, Uncle Xue, and your Aunt Xing." As soon as the words were finished, Baoyu laughed and said, "The old lady can't say that. .” Mother Jia asked why.

Baoyu said: "Look, sister Bao Lan'er is called Aunt Xue, and sister Baoqin is also called Aunt Xue. Isn't it all messed up? Also, Brother Xue is Uncle Xue, and Brother Xue is also Uncle Xue. Which one is called?" ?” The aunt and uncle’s talk immediately made everyone in the room laugh.

Jia Mu smiled from ear to ear and said, "Baoyu is right, let's call her name." Jia Lan responded with a smile, and went forward to salute one by one.

Among them are Xing Xiuyan, the daughter of Mrs. Xing's brother and sister-in-law, Xue Baoqin, Xue Baochai's younger sister, and Xue Bian, Xue Bian, the younger brother. Jia Lan also recalled what was said in the book. Eyes are a little dazzled.

Just as he was talking, Shi Xiangyun came, and Jia Lan had to call Aunt Yun again.

In the evening, Mother Jia fixed the residences for several people. Aunt Li, Li Wen, and Li Qi followed Li Wan to Daoxiang Village, and Xing Xiuyan lived with Yingchun. .Because Xue Fan went out to do business a few days ago, Xue Biao lived in Xue Fan's study.

And Baoling Hou Shi Nai was reassigned as a high-level official from other provinces, and he will bring his family members to take up the post soon.Jia's mother was reluctant to part with Shi Xiangyun, so she took her home. She said she wanted Wang Xifeng to build another yard, but Xiangyun refused. As long as she lived with Baochai, Jia's mother let her go.

On the second day, when Jia Lan got up early to go to Jia Mu's place to say hello, she found that Baoyu, Daiyu, Baochai, Sanchun and others were all there, and now Li Wen, Li Qi, Xue Baoqin, Xing Xiuyan and others were added, and it was very lively for a while , couldn't help laughing: "Now that there are so many people here, your poetry club will become more lively and interesting."

Tanchun tugged at his arm and said with a smile, "Could it be that you regret not participating then?"

Shi Xiangyun chuckled and said, "Third Sister, don't pull him, make him regret to death."

Xue Baoqin and others asked curiously after hearing this: "What's going on with this poetry club?"

Tanchun and Xiangyun originally planned to bring Xue Baoqin and Xing Xiuyan into the Haitang Club to increase their popularity.Now hearing a few people curious, they hurriedly let Jia Lan go, and went to make out with Baoqin and Xiuyan.

Jia Lan was so happy that they didn't bother him, so he said goodbye to Li Wan, Mrs. Jia Muwang and others, and went to Yi's house.

I studied in Yi's house for a whole morning, and it snowed in the afternoon, so Yi Yanqiu didn't let Jia Lan go home, and left him to eat in the house.After eating, Mingqing saw that the snow was getting bigger and bigger, so he discussed with Jia Lan to go back to the mansion to get the cloak.

Because Jia Lan didn't want to go home until the afternoon, it was still early, and because it was snowing heavily, he didn't let Ming Qing go back.Unexpectedly, after reading the time book for a while, someone outside came in and spread the word, saying that Prince Beijing invited Master Yi to enter the palace to enjoy the snow.

Yi Yanqiu heard this, and opened the window to look, and sure enough, the snow had stopped, and the snowflakes accumulated on the branches in the courtyard were half a foot thick.

Yi Yanqiu closed the window and said to Jia Lan: "Since the prince invited me, it's inconvenient for me to decline as a teacher. You should go home and study on your own."

Jia Lan stood up and respectfully said: "Yes." Before leaving, the person who heard the message said again: "As the prince ordered, please go with Master Lan."

Jia Lan couldn't help being puzzled when he heard this, but thinking that Shui Rong would occasionally invite such invitations on weekdays, he didn't refuse, and went to the palace with Yi Yanqiu.

The courtyard of the Prince's Mansion is already extremely beautiful, but this time it snowed, covered with snow-white ice crystals, it is even more beautiful, it is more beautiful than the courtyard.

A servant had already entered the courtyard to inform Shui Rong that when Yi Yanqiu and Jialan arrived at the inner hall, Shui Rong was already waiting outside the inner gate, and seeing the two coming, he said, "Could it be that they were delayed on the way?"

Yi Yanqiu and Jia Lan bowed to Shui Rong, and said, "There is heavy snow on the road, so the road will inevitably be difficult."

After receiving the gift, Shui Rong noticed that Jia Lan was only wearing an ermine coat, and couldn't help frowning: "It's snowing so much, why did you come here without a cloak?"

Jia Lan said: "When I went out today, the sun was shining brightly, but I didn't expect it to snow."

Shui Rong didn't allow him to talk, so he just pulled him in and said, "It's freezing cold, and you're not in good health. Logically, you should wear a cloak whether it's sunny or cloudy."

Jia Lan said helplessly, "You think too seriously."

Shui Rong said: "I think it's serious or not, and it's not for your own good?"

After saying this, Yi Yanqiu and Jia Lan melted into the inner hall with the water, only to find that many people came to enjoy the snow this time.Standing by the window are Zhao Rui and Wei Ruolan, beside the blue and white porcelain vase are Feng Ziying and Li Li, Li Liang is admiring the red plums in the vase, and several members of the Imperial Academy are discussing the "Book of Songs".

Several people in the room couldn't help standing up with smiles when they saw the three of them coming in, some were talking to Jia Lan, some were talking to Yi Yanqiu.

Shui Rong led Jia Lan to the brazier, and said to Feng Ziying and the others who came up together: "I've never seen you treat me so warmly before."

Li Li laughed and said, "Your Highness sees you every day, but Lan'er doesn't see you every month. How do you compare this?"

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

30. Giving gifts, exposing short

But here, Li Li choked on his words, and listened to the group of people surrounding Yi Yanqiu, Zhao Rui smiled and said: "Listen, Lao Yi, some people are dissatisfied with your cage teaching."

When Yi Yanqiu heard this, he looked at Li Li with raised eyebrows, snorted, and said, "Li Li, what complaints do you have?"

Li Li shrank his neck and hurriedly said, "Li'er dare not."

Yi Yanqiu nodded in satisfaction, turned around and continued talking to Zhao Rui and the others.

Seeing him turn his head, Li Li heaved a sigh of relief.

Seeing Li Li's appearance, Feng Ziying and the others couldn't help laughing.Li Liang also patted Li Li's head amusedly, but Li Li angrily patted his hand off.

Jia Lan had never seen Li Li so aggrieved before, so he couldn't help laughing and said, "Li Li is so abnormal today."

Feng Ziying laughed: "He is not abnormal, he is obviously a mouse meets a cat."

Several young people laughed even more when they heard this.Li Li glared at Feng Ziying and said, "You are the only one who met a cat. If you have the ability, you can refute Mr. Yi once."

Feng Ziying said in shock: "I don't dare, this time you are right."

Li Li raised his chin and said, "Cut, after all, you are still a rat."

Surrounded by young people
