Jiayu Village of Red Mansions

Yo, the second master Lian is very capable, and he came to the house with a craziness. You said it was on credit with you, but when did you really pay it back? The 500 taels I borrowed last month haven't been paid back yet! "

Seeing that Sister Feng was angry, Jia Lian followed Sister Feng's habit, and quickly apologized with a smile: "My darling, if I have money, do I need to borrow it from you? The money system, this new money has changed from copper five lead five to copper four lead six. Doesn’t this cut off my livelihood? I haven’t found any other money-making jobs here for a while, so I asked you to borrow it.”

After hearing Jia Lian's explanation, Sister Feng saw a smile on her face, and said, "For the sake of your good behavior, I will give you another 300 taels, as an example!"

Maybe it's the heat in the room, or maybe it's sweat from drinking the soup, this Sister Feng's cheeks are bright red, and her smile is even more unspeakable. Said: "Let me ask you, I just wanted to change my appearance last night, why did you twist your hands and feet like that?"

Sister Feng listened to what Jia Lian wanted, and pinched Jia Lian's waist with a ruthless hand, which caused Jia Lian to exaggerate "Ouch--", spit at Jia Lian, picked up the chopsticks and ate again.

Jia Lian threw her arms around Sister Feng's waist and said, "I'm afraid I'll accumulate food if I eat any more. Why don't you play with me for a while!"

Sister Feng gave Jia Lian a gouging look, got up from her chair, and the young couple walked into the inner hall crookedly.

After a long day of joy, the two got up from the bed satiated, but they heard Ping'er knock on the door outside and said, "Grandma, Mrs. Xue's family has brought her brothers and sisters to live in Beijing. My wife asked you to clean up Lixiang's house." Where is the courtyard!"

"Got it, I'll be there soon!" Sister Feng said loudly when she heard the words.

"This concubine is different from my aunt, she has such a nice yard to live in since she came here, unlike Sister Lin, who has been here for three or five years, and still shares a room with the old lady!" Jia Lian teased while arranging her clothes. road.

"What nonsense are you talking about! That's because the old lady loves sister Lin. Don't you look at Baoyu and squeeze into the same room with the old lady!" Sister Feng spat on Jia Lian.

"It's not living together, I think, the old lady has her eyes on this daughter-in-law!" Jia Lian didn't care about Sister Feng's words, and continued.

"Stop talking nonsense, Madam hasn't said anything about Baoyu, what are you talking about!" Sister Feng said with a smile, turned and left the room.

The tall red candles were flickering, and the glowing red chilled the Qianqing Palace at night.

Shui Zhan was reviewing the memorials before the case, and Yucun was also working next to him. Every once in a while, Shui Zhan looked up at Yucun uneasily.Yucun didn't notice it at first, but Shui Zhan raised his head so frequently that Yucun finally couldn't bear it and said, "Your Majesty, do you have anything to tell me?"

Shui Zhan originally felt uneasy because of the matter of drafting girls, but now he heard Yucun call himself His Majesty, and also called himself a humble minister, and said immediately: "I said that I can be called by my name when there is no one else, how can I still call me by an honorific title? "

Yucun seemed displeased when he heard Shui Zhan's tone, he was stunned, and said, "Shui Zhan, what's wrong with you?"

Annoyed, Shui Zhan put down the memorial in his hand, walked up to Yucun, hugged Yucun from the side, and said, "Aren't you angry?"

Putting his hand on Shui Zhan's arm, Yucun finally realized what Shui Zhan was talking about, and sighed, "They all wrote about poor girls."

Now Shui Zhan has not been in the harem for several years, and even if he went to any concubine's palace, he never stayed overnight. Originally, these girls only had the emperor's hope when they came into the palace, but now they don't even count on this. It's all gone, how can I not be pitiful!

"Yucun, don't worry, I will definitely live up to you!" Shui Zhan's lips pressed against Yucun's forehead and gently stroked.

"I believe in you." Yucun said with a faint smile.

"Yesterday, the third prince went to my mansion, saying that you went to check their brother's homework, and severely criticized him, saying that his handwriting was too ugly, so he came to ask me for calligraphy." Shui Zhan sat down on the soft couch beside him, and said with a smile.

Shui Zhan frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "That's what happened, why? He actually went to trouble you?"

"It's just a correction of the strokes. It's not too much trouble. It's just that I always ask me about Enke intentionally or unintentionally. The third prince has grown up." Yucun said with a smile.

"Hmph, you're just a little older, and you've already learned these twists and turns!" Shui Zhan said with a heavy snort.

"Children of the royal family always think more than ordinary people. Didn't you do the same back then?" Yucun said.

At this time, the sound of beating watch came from outside the palace gate, and the sound of bang bang was very loud in this empty hall, "It's already the third watch, the water is deep, and the memorials can't be finished, so let's save it for tomorrow. Listen to Su Peisheng say you yesterday You only slept for an hour at night, you are not young anymore, you should know how to take care of your body, and don’t stay up late for too long.”

He has also seen these memorials on the imperial case. Trifles and trifles are also written in the memorials, and often they are long-winded, and they wait until the end to lightly mention serious things. It's like comparing whose literary talent is better.But Yucun also understands that the old customs cannot be solved overnight, and can only be solved slowly.

Seeing that Yucun cared about him, Shui Zhan was happy, and said, "You're staying with me, you don't have to come to court tomorrow, and you can rest at home for a day."

"I'm here to help you, and I'm going to stay up until the third watch. If I rest, wouldn't you have to stay up all night?" Yucun said.

At this time Su Peisheng came in with two bowls of ginseng soup, and said, "Long live, my lord, it's late at night, let's have a bowl of ginseng soup!"

"You are an old man who knows the timing." Shui Zhan took the ginseng soup and handed it to Yucun himself.

"It's a servant's job." Su Peisheng said with a smile, "The servant has prepared hot water. Will the long live prince take a bath and rest?"

Seeing that Yucun didn't intend to go to rest alone, Shui Zhan couldn't bear him to stay up late with him, so he nodded.

No.40 Second round

It is said that Aunt Xue's family entered the Rongguo Mansion and lived in the Lixiangyuan. Originally, Xue Pan didn't want to live in Jia's Mansion. He was afraid that his uncle would control him and make him uncomfortable. Stay here for the time being, and move out after the Xue family's old house in the capital is cleaned up.Unexpectedly, Jia Zheng was obsessed with poetry and books, with a natural and unrestrained nature, and didn't care about ordinary things. Xue Pan lived in Rongguo Mansion for more than a month, but he didn't even meet Xue Pan.

Apart from the stone lion at the gate, there is no clean place in Jia's mansion. Xue Pan has lived in Rongguo mansion for more than a month, and he knows more than half of the nephews in this mansion. He came and went, drinking today, watching flowers tomorrow, and even gathering to gamble, doing everything. As a result, Xue Pan was ten times worse than before.

On this day, Xue Pan invited a group of friends to listen to an opera in the theater garden, and listened to the little opera singer with a thin waist and a soft body sing "Feng Qiuhuang".

"Brother Jia, the young actors in this theater are really good, there is no better theater in Jinling City!" Xue Pan said, looking at the little opera singer singing Tsing Yi, squinting his eyes.

"Brother Xue, if you like it, just call him down to serve him later!" Jia Qiong laughed.

"That's a good thing, but he's a nice guy, but he's not as good-looking as the brother of Grandma Dongfu." Xue Pan saw Qin Zhong once by chance, and he never forgot it.

When Jia Qiong heard that Xue Pan had actually coveted Qin Zhong, she secretly thought that he was a toad who wanted to eat swan meat, but said: "Brother Xue just came to this capital, and I don't know that there are beauties in this capital. There are two beauties in this capital." , the breeze blows the flower buds, it refers to the breeze from the Nanfeng Pavilion and the oiran flower buds from the Lichun Garden, both of them are unparalleled in beauty!"

Hearing this, Xue Pan was a little ready to move, and he no longer coveted the opera singer on the stage, and only wanted Jia Qiong to take him to see him.

Jia Chen, who was at the side, heard Jia Qiong's words, poured a few more ounces of yellow soup, his thoughts rose, and he said mysteriously to the two of them: "Then what are the breeze flower buds? I took a look at this, and my eyeballs are about to fall out!"

"Just talk big! Is there anything more beautiful than Qingfenghuabud in this capital?" Jia Qiong only said that Jia Chen had drunk too much and was talking nonsense!

"You don't know this, do you? I went to the Liulichang a few days ago, thinking that I could pick up the leak, so that I could relax and relax, but I didn't expect to meet a fairy. You just look at him I can't come up with such dirty thoughts! I was about to step forward to take a closer look, but I didn't expect to be stopped after taking two steps! Maybe it's a little brother raised by some big man, but you and I have no luck! " Jia Chen said drunkenly.

Jia Qiong asked himself that he had read all the beauties in the capital, and it is said that there was no beauty he didn't know. Since the character Jia Chen mentioned was so outstanding, it didn't make sense that he didn't know. Shivering, he said, "Third Brother, don't talk nonsense! Which one can we talk about?"

Unexpectedly, at this time, Jia Chen suddenly pointed to the distance and shouted, "Look, you don't believe me, isn't that the fairy I mentioned!"

Xue Pan didn't get the nickname of Dumb King for no reason at all. When he saw the beauty, there was no other place in his eyes. He had already found a way to go there, and shouted at Yucun from a distance: "Brother , where are you going?"

Yucun saw a young man in his twenties coming towards them, dressed like a lantern in brocade clothes, with thick eyebrows and broad face, but he looked good.
