Jialan: Crossing the Red Chamber

For more than 25 years, he has been dedicated to his duties and diligent in political affairs, but his knees are very withered. After all, he only has four sons and two daughters.

The prince was established just after a few years ago. He was born of the former empress Chen's family. He is cold and cold, strict with himself and others.Because of his ruthlessness in political affairs, all ministers and subordinates have people who are dissatisfied with him, so there are often criticisms about him in the market.But the Holy Majesty liked his temper very much, he once said that it was as vigorous and resolute as Empress Chen used to be.

The second prince was born in the fourth year of Xuanwu, but unfortunately died before living a day, and Empress Chen also passed away due to postpartum hemorrhage.According to legend, Empress Chen and the present-day Holy Majesty met at a young age, married since they were young, and treated each other like a guest throughout their lives.After Empress Chen passed away, the Holy Majesty was distraught, and even after one day of drunkenness, he even said that he would never be a queen for the rest of his life.

But this vow was soon broken.

After Empress Chen died of illness, the courtiers saw that the emperor was mourning too much and had no intention of political affairs, so they said that there were many vacancies in the harem, which was not in accordance with etiquette, and they chose the best girls.And among this group of beautiful girls, there was a Liu family who was promoted to Concubine Liu by the sage at a glance because she looked like Empress Chen.A year later, Concubine Liu gave birth to a son named Shui Yun, who was listed as the third prince.Two years later, the emperor ordered the world to make Concubine Liu the queen.

The fourth prince, Shui Yin, was born three days later than the third prince, and was born to Concubine Qi in the harem.Concubine Qi is careful in her work, she is always kind to her servants, and she has a very good reputation in the harem.

Wu Gege is also born of Empress Liu, with amazing appearance, but extremely cunning and weird personality.At the age of five, everyone in the palace changed their colors.She has just turned thirteen years old this year and is about to get married, but no one dares to mention this matter in front of her.Some people say that Wugege's marriage can only be achieved if Shangfang's sword is married to that person's neck.

When Liu Gege was three years old, he unfortunately drowned and died. After hearing about the sudden change, his mother, Wu Cairen, had a mental breakdown and went crazy to death.For the two of them, there is nothing more to say.

All of the above were mentioned by Jia Lan in his free time, listening to Cai Wen and Ling Ling talking nonsense.With a dubious attitude, Jia Lan was just listening to the excitement.

But when a protagonist of the story suddenly appeared in his life, Jia Lan realized that the story actually existed.

The third prince, Shui Yun, has four concubines besides his main wife. These four concubines are distinguished and inferior, noble and humble.Regardless of the other three, the representative of the word "cheap" alone is quite legendary.It is heard that one day the third prince went to the south of the Yangtze River to play, and met a girl who was wearing a yarn by the West Lake.

There is only one younger brother in the woman's family, and when she heard that the robber was the prince, she followed her to the capital in a panic.Shui Yun was also generous, he gave him a house, several acres of fertile land, and a number of servants, and let him go.

This younger brother is Lu Renjia, the rich young master who molested a good woman today.

Liu Xianglian finished talking about the ins and outs with relish, and asked Jia Lan what he thought.Jia Lan thought for a while and said, "It's really boring."Liu Xianglian was immediately dejected, wondering if Jia Lan meant that the story was boring, or that the younger brother was boring, or that he was boring?

Jia Lan frowned and said, "Since you all know that he is the third prince's uncle, how dare you do such a cruel thing?"

Liu Xianglian watched as Li Li broke Jia Lanbu's formation in front of him, pulled out Lu Renjia and beat him up, and said with a smile, "You should be glad that the third prince doesn't care about this brother-in-law. If he did, I'm afraid he would have died by now." He just passed out, and was beaten by Li Li until he became ugly."

Jia Lan was taken aback, and asked, "What does this mean?"

Liu Xianglian smiled sarcastically, but did not answer.Seeing that Lu Renjia was beaten to the ground crying and crying, he repeatedly begged for mercy, and saw a horse running towards this place in the distance, so he said to Li Li: "Li Li is gone, be careful, the lord knows you are causing trouble, so he can't spare you."

Li Li snorted when he heard this, and kicked Lu Renjia back to the side of the roadside fruit stand.As soon as the fruit was pushed down, Lu Renjia fell on the head. Lu Renjia cried out in pain after being hit, and hurriedly covered his bruised nose and swollen wound. Li Li couldn't help laughing at his embarrassment.

Jia Lan saw the clothes of the galloping men from a distance, and guessed that they might be the Beijing Guards. Liu Xianglian seemed unwilling to meet them, and urged Li Li to leave.Li Li muttered something and then left.

Jia Lan followed behind, looking at the fruits on the ground, and frowned tightly.He took out a tael of silver from his pocket, threw it to the stall owner who was standing in the corner with a panicked face, turned around and left.

Following Liu Xianglian around two alleys, Li Li finally couldn't bear it anymore, stopped and turned around, and said to the two people five meters behind him: "How long are you going to follow? If only If you want to mention such things as thanking you and selling your body to repay your kindness, don't mention it quickly. Where did you come from?"

The woman covered her lips and laughed like a silver bell, and the middle-aged man stood upright with a serious face, he was the opera singer of Qushang Building.

Liu Xianglian spoke more politely than Li Li, he said: "I still have important matters to discuss, I really don't have time to chat with you two today, if we see you again in the future, I must listen to the fairy voice of the two of you."

The woman waved her long sleeves, tied her hands together, bowed with a smile and said, "Young Master Liu dare not take it seriously. Who in this capital does not know that Mr. Liu's voice has been around the beam for three days and has never stopped. But now you say this, Mr. Liu." What you said, isn't it the little girl of Zhesha?"

Li Li was very bored and yelled: "Speak quickly if you have something to say, and leave quickly if you don't say anything."

Seeing Li Li's impatient look, the woman quietly kicked the middle-aged man.The middle-aged man was suddenly kicked and looked at the woman in surprise, who pouted in the direction of Li Li.

The middle-aged man was silent for a while, then said in a rough voice, "My lord hasn't offered a reward yet."

silence.There was boundless silence.

After a while, Jia Lan burst out laughing, and couldn't stand it any longer, and laughed loudly with his stomach in his arms.Liu Xianglian also couldn't laugh or cry, not knowing how to react.Li Li's expression was the most exciting. He was stunned for a moment, then his face turned red, and he became angry from embarrassment. With a dark face, he yelled, "What did you say?"

The middle-aged man honestly repeated: "Young master has not rewarded us, so we can't leave."

Li Li was so angry that he walked around in the narrow alleyway again and again, then he untied a sachet from his waist and threw it at the man's feet, saying, "It's all right now."

The middle-aged man bent down to pick it up, weighed it in his hand, and asked the woman, "Are these enough?"

After saying a word, Li Li blushed again, furious.

Seeing Li Li's expression, the woman hurriedly grabbed the sachet and stuffed it into her arms, and smiled at the three of them, "That's enough, that's enough, then we won't bother you, the three of you can do what you want."

Li Li turned pale, turned around and left angrily.Jia Lan nodded to the two of them, then turned to follow.

Liu Xianglian gave the middle-aged man a meaningful look, and then left.

After the three of them disappeared, the woman jumped up suddenly, grabbed the middle-aged man's neck and shouted: "Ah Wu, you bastard, you can't even talk."

The man cleverly forced the woman to let go, touched her throat and said in a choked voice: "What are you doing pinching me hard? If you think I'm not good at speaking, why don't you say it yourself." The voice reveals the youthful and immature air.

The woman didn't care when he heard the change in his voice, she just said angrily: "If I remember what to say, I'll ask you, you bastard, you ruined my good deed!"

The man snorted and said, "Give up, if General Li finds out that you want to infect his younger brother, he will definitely kill you with a sword."

The woman immediately kicked the man, raised her eyebrows and said, "Go, I don't like that brat Li Li anymore, I like someone else instead. By the way, what do you think of that Young Master Lan just now? Not bad, right?" ?” The woman bumped into the man’s shoulder with a smile on her face.

The man glanced at the woman and said, "Have you not returned to the capital for three years?"

The woman's way is good, the man looked at the setting sun in the distance and said leisurely: "Three years can change a lot of things. For example, before you changed your clothes, you could go to the street and find a boy from a good family to flirt with, but now you can't. Especially the one just now Bit, don't say you touched it, even if you think about it, you can't think about it."

The woman was surprised: "So noble? Have you never heard of this name?"

The man shook his head, seeing that the woman was about to ask again, he hurriedly changed his mouth and said: "Let's go, let's go, there are still tasks that have not been completed. Although I was spoiled by Young Master Li, but at least I didn't deviate too much, I will make up for it tonight Just one click."

The woman curled her lips and said: "Well, I haven't been back to Beijing for three years. If I just come back, I will lose my mission. I'm afraid the prince will release me again."

The man nodded approvingly, and walked out of the alley with the woman, hiding in the crowd.

Liu Xianglian led Jia Lan and Li Li around four or five alleys before stopping, looking for a teahouse to enter.As soon as Li Li sat down, he began to scold the middle-aged man, so angry that he couldn't even speak clearly.

Jia Lan poured him a cup of tea and joked, "It's true that you didn't give a reward, what did they say wrong?"

Li Li also knew that there was nothing to scold him, but he was frustrated by being blocked like this. He saw Liu Xianglian sitting beside him in deep thought and didn't speak, so he asked, "Brother Liu, what are you thinking about?"

Jia Lan didn't know that Liu Xianglian and Li Li knew each other before, so at a glance, he guessed that it was Shui Rong who set up a connection.

Liu Xianglian turned the teacup in her hand, frowned and said, "I always feel that there is something wrong with that man, but if I really tell what's wrong, I really don't know."

As soon as the man was mentioned, Li Li got angry and came up again, throwing his teacup and cursing again.The other two were also indifferent to the man's surprise, so they all persuaded Li Li.

After drinking tea for a while, the three of them went back to their respective homes and did not show up afterwards.

On the second day of class, Li Li didn't come to class all morning. In the afternoon, Jia Lan couldn't help asking where Liu Zi and Li Li were going. Liu Zihe only said that General Li had something to leave Li Li at home.
