Jialan: Crossing the Red Chamber

Remember me and start making my shoes, probably at the orders of my wife. "

Jia Lan was silent for a while, and opened his mouth to say something. Lin Zhixiao's family came over and said, "Miss San, the women in the front yard are waiting for your words. Look..."

Tanchun suddenly realized, and hurriedly patted Jia Lan on the shoulder and said: "It's getting late, Lan'er don't want to stay outside for too long, the third aunt will go to work first." After finishing speaking, he turned around and led a few women like a gust of wind. gone.

Jia Lan opened his mouth and didn't make a sound.

When Li Wan came back in the evening, he ran to her side and told her about Tanchun today.Li Wan said indifferently, "I knew about this a long time ago."

Jia Lan asked in surprise, "You know that my aunt secretly made shoes for Third Aunt, and she deliberately asked Caiyun to pass them on to her?"

Li Wan yawned and said: "Yeah, it's been a few years, and Caiyun asked me for advice on this matter."

Seeing Li Wan's tired look, Jia Lan was very curious, but she didn't dare to disturb her anymore, so she said, "Mother, you've been tired all day, go to bed early."

Li Wan straightened his clothes and said: "You too, don't learn too late."

Jia Lan nodded and said, "There's one more chapter. I'll go to sleep after I've recited it." Li Wan nodded and sent him out of the room.

After Jialan entered the room, he told Caiwen Tingling to go to sleep by himself and ignore him.Caiwen Tingling knew that he studied very late on weekdays, and did not persist, so he turned off a few lights, leaving only two lights in front of the bed and on the table, and then left the room, closing the door behind him.

Jia Lan sat at the table, a little absent-minded, always thinking about the pair of shoes on Tanchun's feet and what she said.

There is no doubt that Aunt Zhao loves Tanchun very much, so she secretly made shoes for her to wear in the name of his wife to make Tanchun happy.Although Tanchun hated Jia Huan, he still cared about him.

Is this the inevitable link of family affection?Jia Lan sat on the chair, looking at the moths that had been pounced on the Rubean lamp, thinking in a daze.

After thinking about it for a while, I found it quite boring, why not go directly to Jia Huan tomorrow and ask him about his recent whereabouts to be serious.Once he made up his mind, Jia Lan would not focus on anything else, and read the book quietly.

After an incense stick of time, Jia Lan read through the whole book and reorganized it again. Fang felt a little sleepy, so he yawned, blew the oil lamp in front of the table, and walked to the inner room.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, there was a figure sitting peacefully at the table drinking tea.Jia Lan paused, rubbed his eyes, and then rubbed his eyes again, before he said for a long time, "My lord...where did you come from?"

Shui Rong put down the teacup, waved the paper fan in his hand and said with a smile, "I thought I could scare you, but I didn't expect you to be so calm."

Jia Lan went to the table and sat down, took a cup of tea and said, "I was really shocked, why are you here?"

Shui Rong said: "Qi Yi came to send Huan'er, I came with him, and I came to see you by the way."

Jia Lan rubbed his forehead and said, "I remember that my third uncle's residence should be quite far away. No matter how smooth it is, we can't get it together. Besides, how can anyone see the bedroom directly?"

Shui Rong waved his fan leisurely and said, "Why, I'm not welcome? Don't forget, who took you in last night?"

Jia Lan wondered why these words were meant to invite credit, he shook his head to get rid of this inexplicable thought, and asked Shui Rong, "Brother Qi is back?"

Shui Rong nodded: "There are some matters in the capital that need him to deal with."

Jia Lan suddenly realized that Jia Huan must have gone to find Qi Yi when he ran out, so he asked again: "You are not guarding the spirit in Xiaoci County, why did you suddenly return to the capital?"

The water-soluble fan stood on his lips, and he made a silent mouth, and Fang smiled again: "I came back this time according to the emperor's word of mouth. This matter is related to royal secrets. It is not good for you to know too much."

Jia Lan nodded in understanding, then changed the subject: "When did you arrive? How did you get in? Why didn't anyone tell me?"

Shui Rong smiled, "Not long ago, when you were looking for your mother. I sneaked in and no one saw it. It's like this." He stood up and waved his fingers in front of Jia Lan.

Jia Lan blinked, but heard Shui Rong's voice from behind, "It is said that my qinggong is not bad."

When Jia Lan turned around, Shui Rong was standing less than one meter away from him, fanning leisurely.

Jia Lan was amazed by this lightness kung fu like acting in a movie. He pestered Shui Rong for a long time and talked about light kung fu, but Shui Rong was very tight-lipped and refused to say a word. Jia Lan had no choice but to stop asking. , only said angrily: "You have stayed in the room for half an hour, but you can hold your breath."

Shui Rong laughed softly: "Looking at your serious appearance, I just think it's funny, but I don't think time is passing fast."

Jia Lan pursed his lips and said, "Okay, I've seen enough, why don't you go?"

Shui Rong closed the fan and said with a smile: "I took you in yesterday, shouldn't you take me in logically today?"

Jia Lan immediately replied: "The first prince of the celestial dynasty, my little house can't afford it."

Shui Rong said: "What will you do if you don't take me in? I came to Beijing secretly. If someone finds out, wouldn't it be dangerous?"

Jia Lan was right when he thought about it, but he was dubious and said, "You went back to Liuhe Mountain Bieyuan last night."

Shui Rong laughed and said: "If someone hadn't come to report that there were two people who didn't know what to do and who were living on the barren mountain in the cold night of early summer, you thought I would go back."

Jia Lan was speechless. After thinking for a while, he said, "Didn't Brother Qi come back? Why didn't you go to him?"

Shui Rong said: "I'm not going, few people can bear the temper of Young Master Qi."

Jalan was speechless for a moment.

Seeing his reluctance, Shui Rong got up and walked directly to Jia Lan's bed, lifted the gauze curtain, moved the quilt, leaned over on the bed, turned his head and smiled at Jia Lan: "Look at you, you are stingy." Doesn’t it look like your bed is made of ice jade from the South China Sea, so precious that ordinary people can’t enjoy it?”

Jia Lan couldn't get angry because of the water-soluble and familiar appearance, but finally said with a smile: "I didn't think anything at first, but I just saw that I wanted to sleep on it, so I thought my bed was really made of ice jade from the South China Sea. Well, you Sleep there, I'll sleep on the small bed next to me."

Although he is not completely an ancient person, Jia Lan still knows a little about the question of the superiority and inferiority of monarchs and ministers.Shui Ronggui is a prince, and he is a commoner, so in terms of etiquette, they cannot sleep together.

Shui Rong didn't insist, and gave him a quilt from the bed, and said with a smile: "From entering the room to now, only this sentence is pleasant to my ears."

Jia Lan stared at him and said, "Occupy my bed, and arrange me." Saying that, she was about to cover Shui Rong with the quilt, but Shui Rong dodged to dodge.

Shui Rong hurriedly stopped him and said with a smile: "Okay, go to bed quickly, you have class tomorrow."

Jia Lan snorted, Fang let him go, turned around and went to sleep on the other side of the small bed.

36. Same bed, different dreams

The small bed was set up by Jia Lan when he was young, so that he could collect essays and listen to spirit vigils. After Jia Lan was seven years old, Li Wan ordered the two of them to go to the inner and outer vigils, and no one slept in this bed. It was just that Jia Lan occasionally moved the kang table to read and write on it, so the bedding was not very thick.

Jia Lan felt that the bed was not as soft as her kang, so she slept quite uncomfortable. She tossed and turned on the bed, her upper and lower eyelids kept fighting, and her consciousness was hazy, but she couldn't fall asleep.

Just as he was struggling, he heard Shui Rong call out to him softly.Jia Lan answered vaguely, then he woke up with a shiver all over his body, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Shui Rong half-sat up, leaned against the bedpost, and said lazily: "I heard you turned over so badly, so I tried to call you. As expected, I still didn't sleep."

Jia Lan originally thought that he suddenly called him for something, but now that he heard it was just to test him, he couldn't help feeling annoyed, and said angrily, "It's a disturbing dream at night. Who said I didn't sleep, I fell asleep." Said After finishing, he pulled the quilt over his head and turned his back to Shui Rong.

After nestling in the quilt for a while, Jia Lan felt a little bored, so he pulled the quilt down again.As soon as it was pulled down, something knocked on the forehead.Jia Lan rubbed his forehead and turned his head, and saw Shui Rong standing in front of his bed with a smile, twirling a paper fan in his hand.

Jia Lan was so angry that he didn't want to lose his temper anymore, so he simply sat up, crossed his legs and said, "You didn't go out until five o'clock this morning, why are you still so energetic?"

He also sat cross-legged on the bed, and said with a smile, "Does it count as a happy event?"

Jia Lan looked at him, "What happy event do you have?"

The water-soluble fan stood upright in front of his mouth, and he said with a light smile: "The Buddha said, don't say it."

Jia Lan glared at him twice, dragged the quilt to the bed and moved away from him.Shui Rong ignored him, leaned back on the bedpost, and asked him about his studies.

Jia Lan is now in an extraordinary period, just like the third year of high school back then. Teachers were anxious, parents were worried, and friends followed suit.Jia Lan was used to it, and answered very smoothly.Shui Rong saw that he was not in a hurry, and he didn't have the impetuous emotions of ordinary candidates, so he was more than half relieved.

He said: "Continuing to work hard like this, I'm afraid it will be no problem to get a first name."

Jia Lan said, "It's not as simple as you said."

Shui Rong smiled and said, "Don't you want to be the champion?"

Jia Lan said: "I have self-knowledge. Most of the candidates are older than me. They have read more books than I have eaten. If I can be in the top [-], I will be satisfied."

Shui Rong hit him with a fan, "That's all."

Jia Lan said: "I want to be a great general, but I must have that ability first." Jia Lan just said it casually, but did not see a slight change in Shui Rong's face.

Jia Lan complained about the rigidity of stereotyped essays, and Shui Rong said, "I always thought you wanted to be a civil servant."

Jia Lan said with a smile: "Shouldn't boys yearn for that kind of life of gold and iron horses, happy friendship and hatred?"

Shui Rong smiled faintly, and asked softly: "The kind of bloody,
