Through the Ring of Red Mansions

Let's talk about Tanchun supporting the third wife, Baoyu and Daiyu taking Mrs. Wang back to their respective rooms. The whole family was in a daze, and they couldn't imagine that the emperor would suddenly come to visit Jia Huan at home without saying a word. On Jia Huan's body is the glory of the holy family.

Suddenly Shui Lang entered the bedroom and saw Jia Huan was sleeping with his eyes closed. He hadn't seen him for two months, but he was much thinner than before and his face was pale. He couldn't help feeling extremely painful. He went to hold Jia Huan in his arms inside.Although his movements were light, Jia Huan had just drank the medicine and fell asleep not long after, he was inevitably moved and woke up, slowly opened his eyes and saw Shui Lang, wanted to get up, but because of his weakness, Shui Lang couldn't afford it for a while. According to him, he said, "Don't move."

Jia Huan couldn't help asking in surprise, "Why did you come out?"

Because his voice was weak and weak, as if his strength was very reluctant, Shui Lang hurriedly said, "Don't talk, I'll come and see you. I always hear people say that it's better to come in person to be relieved."

Jia Huan laughed and said, "It's just a cold, don't infect you. I feel much better today, and I drank an extra bowl of porridge tonight."

Shui Lang knew that he didn't want to worry about himself, so he gently kissed him on the forehead and said, "Eat more, even if you want dragon liver and phoenix marrow, as long as you want to eat, I'll get you all, don't you love imperial food?" Did the room make Buddha jump over the wall, tomorrow I will let that cook come to your house and cook it for you every day."

Jia Huan couldn't help saying, "You've done enough! Now this time I'm afraid everyone in our family has been scared. Our family still has filial piety!"

Shui Lang smiled and said, "Well, you just need to recover from your illness first, don't worry about anything now."

Jia Huan nodded, suddenly remembered what he had been thinking about during his illness, hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't bear it, and said, "It's not that I want to say something depressing, it's just that things in the world are hard to say, that's why there is a "human life." In the words of misfortune and blessing, my illness is very strange, and my health is not so bad, but now I have been ill for nearly a month, and I have not recovered, I am afraid that it is God's will, and I don't know..."

This time it was due to Jia Huan's long-term illness, and he couldn't help thinking wildly when he was bedridden all day, not to mention that he had a cup of tea with the two untraceable masters and real Miao Miao, so he couldn't help but go back to the day. I want to go to the matter that the two said "luck and number will end".It's just that Shui Lang couldn't hear this, and immediately hugged Jia Huan tightly and said, "God's will is my will, and my will will make you live a long life and get better tomorrow!"

Jia Huan laughed and said, "I'll just say this once, and there's only one sentence. Let's...stay together for a while, even if we are separated in the future, don't forget each other's kindness."

Shui Lang was silent for a moment, and said, "You are really sick and confused. Tomorrow I will send someone to pick you up and raise you in the Huguo Temple. There are eminent monks who protect the Dharma and Buddha's light, and no evil spirits or heretics can get close to you. .”

Jia Huan shook his head hurriedly, and suddenly heard the voice of Chief Steward Shan outside, "Report to Your Majesty, steamed pears from fritillary mother of fritillary in rock sugar have been stewed in the mansion for little scholar Jia."

Because Jia Huan had a severe sore throat and cough, and got impatient with the medicine, he kept eating stewed pears with rock sugar, and he felt better these days. Shui Lang also saw Jia Huan's pulse taken back by the sent imperial physician He knew it was useful, so he took his life in and fed Jia Huan with his own hands before saying, "I'll watch you here, so I can sleep well?"

Seeing Shui Lang now, Jia Huan felt much more at ease than when he was lying on the bed, so he closed his eyes with peace of mind, and fell asleep again drowsily.It’s just that after an unknown amount of time, he suddenly saw a colorfully painted grimace mask flashing in front of him, which made him jump. When he looked intently, the grimace disappeared. There was a huge valley in front of him, and the scenery was a little strange. look familiar.

There are many people in the valley busy digging stones, carrying, and carrying loads. From a distance, the mountains and plains are full of people, as if thousands of people are working here at the same time. These people are building some kind of palace, just looking at the shelves that have been erected, one can tell that it must be a very magnificent building.In front of the unfinished palace, there is a wide and straight stone paving slope all the way down, leading to an underground palace-like entrance.

Jia Huan was wondering why he came here. In a trance, he saw Shui Lang walking over with a few people. He hurried up and said, "It's a good thing I met you. What is being built here? How did I get here?" I haven't heard you talk about building a new palace..."

Unexpectedly, Shui Lang ignored him, as if he didn't see him, frowning slightly, he hurriedly walked towards the entrance of the underground palace, and the people behind him carried a large cabinet as tall as one person, and followed closely behind him.

Jia Huan was puzzled, so he had to follow up to find out what happened, but after entering the underground palace, he saw that inside was a room carved out of stones, and a hiding place pierced through mountains. The walls along the way were carved with exquisite patterns of dragons, thunder clouds, sun, moon and stars. , Embedded in the belly of the mountain, the depth is unknown.The palaces passing by are all as long and wide as the ground. They have built-in bead curtains and jade curtains, painted pillars and carved beams, and a garden in the middle. Like a fairyland.

Jia Huan looked along the way, feeling dazzled and afraid of getting lost, so he followed Shui Lang closely until he reached a palace at the end. Shui Lang moved some mechanism, and the two gates creaked open.When I walked in and looked inside, it was just an empty hall with smooth stone walls on all sides, only a skylight was opened on the roof to let in some light. In the middle of the hall was a square earthen pool with nothing on it.

Those who followed Shui Lang opened the cabinet they brought in, and brought out a huge flower pot from inside.When Jia Huan saw the flowers and trees planted in the flowerpot, he couldn't help being surprised.

In the flowerpot was a sapling with a cup-sized sapling, which Jia Huan had never seen before, and could only smell the faint fragrance from the tree, which made her feel very peaceful.And next to the root of the sapling, there is a strange weed that has taken out a green vine, which is tightly entangled with the root of the tree and climbs up. What else can it be if it is not the parasitic weed that I threw? !

Jia Huan had seen that parasitic weed every day, and he recognized it very clearly. He couldn't help but feel a little confused for a while, but also vaguely understood...

Those people carefully transplanted the tree, the parasitic grass, and the soil in the pot into the earthen pond in the middle of the hall. Shui Lang took out a small bottle from his pocket and poured the liquid in both of them. At the root, this led everyone out of the hall, and closed the mechanism on the stone gate.

After finishing these, Shui Lang led those people away in a hurry. Jia Huan already knew that he couldn't see him, so he didn't follow him, but sat with his back leaning against the stone door and embracing his knees.Youyouran didn't know when, suddenly saw the grimace mask in front of him flashing again, Jia Huan was frightened and trembled again, opened his eyes and woke up.

As soon as he opened his eyes, Jia Huan heaved a sigh of relief, knowing that it was just a dream, but just turned his head, and saw the colorful grimace mask again, which was almost less than a foot away from his bed. A pair of eyes wide open and dark, very frightening.Before Jia Huan could make a sound, the mask had already retreated, and the man wearing the mask lifted the mask to the top of his head, revealing a slightly wrinkled face behind him, and looked closer at Jia Huan again, chirping solemnly. Goo said something.

The man's hair was disheveled, silver ornaments were hung on his head and body, and his movements were clanging. He was dressed like some southern minorities that Jia Huan had seen in later generations.

Mr. Shan who was standing next to him saw that the matter was over, and he smiled at the man, "The great witch has worked hard! Please sit outside and serve some tea. After the imperial doctor has seen the little scholar Jia, our family will accompany the great witch back to the palace."

The jingling old man nodded, and handed the mask he was wearing to a boy who was also dressed in a strange way to put it away. Then he wiped off his sweat and was helped out.

Jia Huan couldn't help wondering, "Director Shan, what's the matter?"

Manager Shan said with a smile, "Your Majesty Xiao Jia's complexion really looks better. Just now, the great witch was invited from Miao Jiang, who was highly respected in Miao Jiang. He just happened to go to Beijing to worship during the Chinese New Year. The Holy Majesty invited him to replace Xiao Jia. Lord Jia prays to the gods, and please take care of the little Lord Jia first, and our family will take the big witch back to the palace to restore the decree."

For a while, Manager Shan led the crowd away, and then Jia Zheng and the third wife rushed in. Seeing that Jia Huan had woken up, the third wife couldn't help but put her arms around him and said in tears, "You're all right, you're actually trying to scare me to death." I am willing!! The Holy Majesty just came to see you the day before yesterday, and you fell into a coma with a fever. If you have something wrong, what will you ask me to do?!"

Tanchun was also by his side weeping silently, Jia Huan seemed to have just woken up from a long sleep, feeling very comfortable, so he hurriedly said, "Don't cry, madam, it hurts your body carefully. The days are more energetic, but I just feel hungry."

The third wife heard the busy calls for someone to bring food, and asked Jia Huan what he wanted to eat. After a while, someone brought up a sauced duck. Jia Zheng scolded anxiously, "You can take anything without thinking." When you come up with something, don’t you know that it’s better to be light and soft, and when you’re sick, and you haven’t touched your teeth with rice for two or three days, how can you restrain yourself when you eat these things?!”

Seeing Jia Zheng's behavior, Jia Huan hurriedly persuaded, "It's really unfilial to be a son to make the master worry about me, but I feel much better now. The master and wife should go back to the room for a rest. I must be tired for a while. Very useless."

Tanchun also persuaded him a few words, and Jia Zhengfang went back to his room. After all, the third wife watched Jia Huan leave after drinking a bowl of ginseng, jade, bamboo, lily and white fungus soup, and asked Xiuyun and Jinyue to look after him.

After that, Jia Huan really seemed like a day, and after five or six days, he was able to go down to the ground and walk a little.When Jia Zheng saw that he had recovered, he couldn't help feeling very comforted, and he didn't forget to tell him, "When you were sick, the Holy One visited you personally and gave you medicine and medicine. yes."

Jia Huan was full of doubts in his heart and wanted to ask Shui Lang, what did Guang Shang Zhezi say clearly, so he entered the palace from the Huguo Temple under the pretense of personally handing over Enzhe, and saw Shui Lang not long after. I rushed back from the imperial study to the Yongchang Palace, saw him and said, "I just heard that it's better, why don't you take care of yourself, it's still so cold outside, what if you suffer from the cold, the wind, or get sick again?" ?!" He dragged him to the bed and half leaned on it, and ordered people to add two more stoves in the room.

Jia Huan snuggled into his arms and said, "I have my own sense of propriety. If I didn't feel good, I wouldn't run out. It's just that the big witch you got away that day was very strange. When I opened my eyes, I saw such an ugly person. The mask scared me. I heard that the big witches of the Miao people would not leave their tribe easily, so why did they suddenly come to the capital to worship?"

Shui Lang smiled faintly, "Last year Miaojiang was plagued by insects, and the harvest was not good. I just wanted to ask for some food and cloth. Did you hear what that great witch said? I couldn't understand a word. Like those of your men Foreigners can speak more or less the same way.”

Jia Huan chuckled, and said, "The big witches in Miaojiang have more supernatural powers than Santos and the others. The medicines Santos and the others made didn't work for me, but that big witch would be fine if he danced the gods. Take me to see it." It was a wonderful sight."

Shui Lang was not wary of Jia Huan's words behind him, but still asked with a smile, "What wonder?"

Jia Huan got up from his arms, looked at him with a pair of black eyes and said, "It's a big house, inside an underground palace, there is nothing in the house, there is an earthen platform right in the middle. A tree was planted on it, and next to the tree, I planted a parasitic grass that I had raised for a while, but then I lost it for some reason."

Shui Lang was stunned for a moment, then remained silent for a while, Fang Xu smiled and said, "What kind of a spectacle is this? If you want to see the underground palace, my future Dragon's Sleeping Land is under construction. After a few days it will be warmer, I will I'll take you to see it." Then he reached out and hooked Jia Huan back into his arms, and said softly, "It's been a long time since I hugged you like this, but it's a pity that I still can't keep you here, at least I have dinner here today. How about going?"

Jia Huan wanted to press him at first, but he also knew Shui Lang's temperament, now he knew from his expression that he couldn't ask any more questions, and what he saw in the underground palace was a bit weird, but it didn't seem like he would be harmful to him.If it was really not a good thing, how could Shui Lang be willing to plant them in his tomb?

Jia Huan bowed his head and thought for a while, but still couldn't help asking, "Can't you just tell me what kind of tree is entangled with parasitic weeds?"

Shui Lang smiled and said, "There are so many names of trees in the world, how can I recognize them all?" While talking, she fell down all over her body, pressed Jia Huan softly and kissed, and taught Jia Huan that she couldn't say goodbye. That's all.
