Jialan: Crossing the Red Chamber

mountains and rivers.Chaotian Que. "

The song "Manjianghong" was sung with more passion at this time, and Li Li yelled a few times, "Don't wait for nothing, the boy's head is white, empty and sad".The two of them danced swords and chanted again, and they seemed to be drunk for a while. At last, they were so tired that they fell asleep on the grass no matter where they were.

In his sleep, Jalan seemed to be on a battlefield.

Fighting everywhere on the battlefield, flesh and blood flying everywhere, everyone waved their weapons, shouting words like "Long live the emperor! Long live the heavenly dynasty!", desperately chasing forward.

Jialan swayed and seemed to see the end of the crowd. Two horses stood on their feet. Immediately, the two of them were wearing black armor, and they were all in one body. They held a long black iron sword and shouted slogans in their mouths.

Jia Lan looked at the man carefully, and it turned out to be Li Li.I couldn't help laughing in my heart, this kid looks good in a suit of armor.He looked at the person next to him again, but was taken aback.

The man was dressed in silver armor, with clear eyebrows and a solemn face. He held a long sword in his hand with a bunch of blue tassels hanging on it, which vaguely resembled Jia Lan's grown-up appearance.

He thought to himself, sure enough the common saying makes sense.If you think about it every day, you will have a dream at night.

He wanted to continue watching, but he heard someone calling him from afar, and the voice was very familiar to him.He knew he was dreaming and struggled to wake up.

Opening his eyes, he found that Shui Rong's face was in front of him, and his brows were still furrowed. Jia Lan couldn't help but reached out and tapped between his brows, and asked, "Why are you frowning?"

Seeing him waking up, Shui Rong felt relieved, and seeing him sleeping in a daze without defense, he couldn't help being annoyed and funny, so he grabbed his shoulders and helped him up, saying: "Don't sleep here, go back to sleep in another garden. "

Jia Lan didn't stand still, and staggered as soon as he took a step, Shui Rong hurriedly stabilized himself, Jia Lan supported his arm with one hand, rubbed his eyes with the other and said, "Sleepy."

Shui Rong said: "This place is cold, go back to the house and continue to sleep."

Jia Lan nodded, searched around, and asked suspiciously, "Where's Li Li?"

Shui Rong nodded his chin and said: "Li Liang left behind his back, don't worry about him, go back and talk about it first."

Jia Lan nodded again, walked obediently with the water for two steps, and then stopped suddenly.Shui Rong said helplessly, "Are you sleepy or not?"

Jia Lan grabbed Shui Rong's arm and shouted, "What time is it now, I haven't gone home yet, it's too bad, my mother must be dying of anxiety."

Shui Rong watched him jumping, and said, "Now I know I'm in a hurry, what did I do when I was having so much fun earlier?"

Jia Lan glared at him: "Whenever you say sarcastic remarks, no, I have to go home quickly."

Shui Rong stopped him, "Okay, I've already sent someone to notify your mother, don't worry, you're fine, go back to Bieyuan to sleep."

Jia Lan asked suspiciously, "Really?"

Shui Rong smiled and said, "Why, you don't believe me?"

Jia Lan thought for a while and said, "I believe you." He turned to look at Shui Rong: "Then where should I sleep tonight?"

Shui Rong pushed him: "Let's go, there is a place for me to sleep in the huge palace, so naturally there will be a place for you."

35. Sleeping together, suddenly appearing

On the second day, Jia Lan woke up and got up to wash up. A servant came to ask where he had breakfast. Jia Lan wondered why there was no water solution, so he asked intentionally, "Did the lord come back last night?"

The young man smiled and said: "Last night, it was the prince who sent Young Master Lan into the room, how could he forget it when he got up early in the morning?"

Jia Lan said with a smile: "I got up early and haven't seen anyone yet, I thought last night was a dream."

The little servant said with a smile: "That's the way it is. The prince was called out of the mansion at five o'clock. He said he would return at three o'clock at night. Before he left, he ordered to serve Master Lan."

Jia Lan said with emotion that those in positions of power are really busy, and followed the servant out of the room.

In the corner room where the meal was served, Li Li had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Jia Lan coming, he said dissatisfiedly, "You are so slow."

Jia Lan sat down and said, "I thought you left with your brother?"

Li Li curled his lips and said, "I didn't see anyone. I only heard people say that he carried me back. I don't have the slightest impression."

Jia Lan sighed, "These two are really in a hurry."

But Li Li suddenly said: "I heard that the Xianling is a hundred miles away from here, and the journey will take ten days without stopping. The two of them should be guarding the driver, why are you back now?"

Jia Lan was also taken aback, and the servant next to him reminded: "Both young masters, can the food be served?" Li Li waved his hand and said, "Pass the food." The matter of Shui Rong Li Liang's sudden return to Beijing was revealed in no time. , Li Li didn't mention it again.

After breakfast, the two rushed to the Guozijian together. After studying with Liu Zihe for a day, Jia Lan returned home.

Li Wan was taking care of things in the front yard. Jia Lan didn't bother her, so she went to look for Jia Huan, but was told that she had left early in the morning and hadn't returned home. Jia Lan felt very bored, so she went back to the Grand View Garden.

Arriving at the Grand View Garden, passing the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Jia Lan thought for a while and walked in.Daiyu was sitting at the table reading a book, when she saw him come in, she smiled and said, "This morning the magpie screamed, I wondered what a happy event it was, I didn't expect that it was Young Master Lan who arrived, and the azalea and snow geese didn't hurry up to pay a visit."

Zijuan Xueyan knew that Daiyu was trying to squeeze Jialan with words on purpose, so she followed the words and walked over, wished Jialan a blessing and said with a smile, "Greetings to Master Lan."

Jia Lan hurriedly stood up and pretended to be angry and said, "What is this for?" Zijuan laughed and said, "Master Lan is so rare to come down to earth. I see you today, so don't come to get some fairy spirit."

Jia Lan knew that they made up the incident that he didn't often go out to have fun, so she said: "As expected of the person who is with Aunt Lin, look at this eloquent talker, he won't let anyone talk."

Daiyu covered her lips and smiled, and beckoned Jialan to sit beside her, and asked, "You came back from Huan'er, can you come and see me?" Jialan smiled, but didn't dare to answer.

Zijuan offered tea and said with a smile, "Young lady, you can guess right."

Daiyu poked Jia Lan's forehead with her finger, but she didn't say anything, she just asked how her reading was going, and asked Jia Lan to compose a few poems, which she changed.

But after half an hour, Jia Lan saw that Daiyu was a little tired, so she got up and said goodbye and went back. Daiyu didn't stop her, she just said that she had time to play.Jia Lan agreed to go out, and before leaving, she gave Zicuckoo a wink.

After leaving the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Zijuan caught up and said, "Brother Lan, have something to say to me?" Jia Lan asked, "How is Aunt Lin's complexion recently? Is there a serious problem?"

Zijuan said: "Since Second Master Bao was sick and cried a few times last time, nothing has happened again. Now Mrs. Xue and Miss Bao are taking care of him, and he is much better."

Jia's mother went to Xiaoci County to guard the spirit. Before she left, she was worried about Lin Daiyu, so she entrusted her to Aunt Xue. Jia Lan also knew about this, but Daiyu didn't like Baochai because of Baoyu's affairs. Now that they are together, this temperament is not even more stingy. Yes, Yin asked, "Did Aunt Lin and Aunt Xue ever have any affairs?"

Zijuan laughed and said: "I don't know what happened a while ago, the relationship between Miss Bao and Miss Bao suddenly became better, and Miss Bao even said that Miss Bao has a good heart, and she blamed her wrongly before. Now they are together, like sisters. "

Thinking that Baochai did something good to Daiyu to make Daiyu feel relieved, Jia Lan didn't think too much about it. She only thought that if Daiyu could worry less, she would naturally have less illness. Well, on weekdays, sister Zijuan needs to take care of Aunt Lin."

Zijuan said with a smile: "Brother Lan's kind words, I am the girl's girl, this is all my job."

Jia Lan nodded, and the two talked for a while before they dispersed.

The sun was setting and the sky was gradually darkening. Jia Lan crossed the Fengyao Bridge and passed by the gate of Qiushuangzhai. It happened that the gate was wide open. Several people came out, and Tanchun was facing her. She was wearing a colorful fly The phoenix and jade hairpin, the red gold plate and chi wreath hanging on the neck, wearing a sky blue satin gown with a hundred birds facing the phoenix dark pattern, and an emerald flowered skirt. She is luxurious, graceful, romantic and charming.

When she saw the shoes on her feet, Jia Lan froze for a moment, the uppers were so familiar.

Tan Chun was talking to a woman in charge, when Lin Zhixiao's family saw Jia Lan standing by the road, and said with a smile, "Hello, brother Lan." Hearing this, Tan Chun realized that Jia Lan was in front, and walked over to laugh Said: "Where did this come from?"

Jia Lan saluted and said, "I just came back from Aunt Lin." Tan Chun pinched his face and said, "I just remember you Aunt Lin, come and see me anytime."

Jia Lan said, "Third Aunt is too busy, I'm afraid I'll disturb you." Tan Chun sighed, "I've been a little busy recently. After a few days, Lian's Second Sister-in-law recovers from her illness, I'll let go of everything and go to you first. Play."

Jia Lan smiled and said, "You are welcome anytime." Tan Chun said angrily, "You little devil."

She supported the hair crown on Jia Lan's head, and asked a few questions about her studies, and Jia Lan answered them one by one.

After saying a few words, Tanchun seemed to have no intention of asking: "Do you know what Huan'er is doing recently? I heard someone mention that he usually leaves early and returns late, and his whereabouts are unknown."

Jia Lan was startled, and said doubtfully, "I don't know about it."

Tanchun said: "I know you are nervous about the exam, but Zhonghuan'er is only close to you. Third Aunt hopes that you will take some time to ask, and don't let him go astray."

Seeing her uncomfortable expression, Jia Lan's heart skipped a beat, and he responded, "Lan'er understands."

Tanchun patted his head and smiled, Jia Lan looked down at her shoes and said, "Third Aunt's embroidery skills are getting better and better, these shoes are so beautiful."

Tanchun stuck out his feet and smiled, "I didn't do it. I've been very busy recently, but I don't have this free time."

Jia Lan wondered, "That's what Shi Shu Cui Mo did?" Shi Shu Cui Mo is Tan Chun's maid.

Tanchun smiled and said, "Neither, Caiyun made it for me."

Jia Lan was startled, and asked, "The colorful clouds in the wife's room?"

Tanchun smiled and said, "Where is there a colorful cloud? I don't know why I suddenly thought of it in the past few years.
