[Red Mansion] The third master of jade-like stone treasures

Ten years later, Xuan'er asked Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai to host the first hairpin banquet in the Grand View Garden, all women in the Zhou Dynasty, on the grounds of her birthday.

All talented women from all over the provinces of the Great Zhou Dynasty can sign up for the banquet, and participate in competitions such as poetry, martial arts, horse racing, playing the piano, etc. gentlemen.

In the past ten years, the women's college that Jia's family originally ran for orphans in the capital has already opened more than a dozen branches, recruiting girls from all over the world who are willing to study.

And Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, Xiangling, Yingchun Xichun and others, as the first batch of female students in the women's college, are also passed down from generation to generation among the students.

Oh, and Baoyu!

No one expected that Baoyu would be so keen on being a teacher at a women's college that she would do it for ten years, and she would even resign and concentrate on being a teacher.

Of course, his idea has been strangled in the cradle by Mrs. Wang.

In the Grand View Garden, before dawn, the big kitchen was already in full swing.Dozens of chefs are working together to prepare snacks, tea, staple food, sweet soup, etc. for all the hosts and guests during the Green Hairpin Banquet.

The maids were dressed in uniform, and in a team of five, they lit up all the lanterns in the Grand View Garden one by one.The burning time of a small candle is just long enough for the dawn.

Qingwen went around one by one, and when everything was ready, she arranged her clothes and hair accessories, led a dozen maids, and stood still at the gate.

"Open the door!"

The Grand View Garden is finally about to usher in its real "master".

=== 888 ===

Bao Cong was in a panic as he shuttled through the Grand View Garden where people were coming and going!

Because he was afraid of bumping into the female guest, he went around and lost his son!

After looking for it for a long time, I couldn't find it. I asked more than a dozen maids, but they all shook their heads and said they didn't see it, or they didn't touch the ground, so they didn't have time to talk to him.

Today, Lin Daiyu and Baochai are the hosts of the banquet, so I made an agreement with him in advance to take good care of my son.Unexpectedly, within half an hour after entering the Grand View Garden, that kid would have slipped away.

The banquet was full of female guests, and it was inconvenient for Bao Cong to wander around, so he had to choose a secluded room and wander into the illusion to find it.

"This brat, if you find him, you'll have to give him a good beating! In the morning, he told him to follow me closely, but in the blink of an eye, he ran away without knowing where to go..."

Bao Cong was so angry that he thought about it, lying on the boulder in the illusion, and looked for it in the Grand View Garden at a glance.Helpless, there are too many women in the Grand View Garden, crowded with people, there are piles here, there are piles there, there are huge rocks and rockeries, small bridges and flowing water, shade trees and flowers, all intertwined and scattered.

He really didn't expect that how much he marveled at the magnificence and ingenuity of the Grand View Garden at the beginning, and how much he dislikes those secret twists and turns today.It is too easy to hide someone, but too difficult to find someone!

There are people coming and going in Yihong Courtyard, Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai are surrounded by poems and essays from time to time, and they are very busy; in Zhuijin Building, Xichun and Yingchun are pointing out the paintings of the students; in Daoxiang Village, there is a small martial arts arena. More than a dozen women lined up eager to try, wanting to come out on top and get the set of fine iron bows and arrows specially customized for women...

Baoyu led a bunch of radish heads with or without the surname Jia, just like his father took him to visit the Grand View Garden, explaining the origin and meaning of the names of the houses in the Grand View Garden to the children one by one.

But this time, no one was disappointed to test the little carrot heads, only one older child enthusiastically encouraged them to be "naughty" delicately.

Where the crowd was scattered, an eight or nine-year-old boy slipped and fell on the muddy ground with a snap.He was tiger-headed and tiger-headed, didn't cry, got up and dangled around again.

Suddenly, a monkey sprang out from the flowers and called him, "Hey, whose family are you a child? Why are your clothes covered in mud? Did someone bully you?"

The boy turned around, and saw a delicate boy with leather skin, with a wreath on his head, and the royal blue clothes were full of flowers, grass, and leaves. He was obviously much more embarrassed than him.

The boy smiled and said, "No one bullied me. I was walking by the river just now and the muddy floor was slippery. I accidentally fell."

The monkey got out, jumped to his side, looked up and down, and saw that his face and body were in good condition, but his clothes were a little dirty, so he believed that he was really not being bullied, nodded like an adult, and said: "That's good, if If someone bullies you, report my name to make sure they don't dare to bully you."

The boy asked: "My surname is Xu, and my name is Shi Yin. What's your name?"

The monkey said: "My name is Jia Heng. Are you a child of Xugong's family?" Baoyu brought a bunch of radish heads, and he thought the boy was one of the bunch of radish heads.

Xu Shiyin shook his head and said: "My father is not an official, he is a doctor. I came with my mother."

Jia Heng didn't care, nodded casually, and asked again: "I see you wandering around here, what are you looking for?"

Xu Shiyin said: "I heard that there is a Xiaoxiang Pavilion in the Grand View Garden that is the most elegant and has a large collection of books, including astronomy, geography, and miscellaneous books, so I wanted to visit it, but I couldn't find it after looking around. There are too many people here. .”

As he said that, he blushed a little, because there were too many girls.He grew up so big, and he had never seen hundreds of girls, big and small, gather together.

Jia Heng agreed very much, and said: "I said I don't want to come, my father insisted on letting me come, and said that he wanted me to see the talent of women, but I didn't see the talent, but there was a lot of twitter."

After finishing speaking, he put his hands on his hips again, waved to Xu Shiyin, and said with great interest, "I know Xiaoxiang Pavilion best. I'll take you there. You can find all kinds of books! I've read all the books there."

"Really?" Xu Shiyin followed suit, "How many books are there? How can you read them all?"

"It's boring, my mother loves to read, and she sends me to read if there is nothing to do."

The two walked one behind the other, slowly finding their way.

During the conversation, they talked about poems, books, articles, daily chores, and life anecdotes, and the conversation was very harmonious.

When I arrived at the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, before I entered, I heard two girls in their teens chatting.

One said: "I went to the palace the day before yesterday and saw the emperor having a tryst with that girl from the Li family. He was too cowardly. He wanted Miss Li to be the queen, why didn't he just tell the queen mother? Did he have to do such a sneaky thing?" It's Xuan'er.

The other said: "You still don't know him? I'm most afraid that the Queen Mother will be angry. What the Queen Mother likes is her niece. It has been decided long ago. When I die of illness, she will let her niece marry and become the queen." It was Xuan'er .

After hearing this, Xuan'er said, "What nonsense are you talking about? You live a long life!" After a pause, she said angrily, "Your health isn't that bad, is it? Why does everyone think you're going to die of illness?"

Speaking of which, in the past ten years or so, apart from her pale and haggard complexion, Xuan'er has not had many serious illnesses. With her martial arts practice, she has strengthened her body, and in some years, she did not need to take medicine for several months at a time.

I don't know what bad intentions those people have, they are all waiting for the news of Xuan'er's death, especially the Empress Dowager's niece, who is 19 years old this year, and she is not sure about marrying herself. It's like killing Xuan'er who pre-occupied the queen's seat.

Xuan'er smiled and shook her head, and said, "Why are you angry? You don't know if I'm in good health? I'm afraid they're all dead, but I'm still alive and kicking!"

"Aunt Yuanyang said that when I grow older, she will take me out of Beijing. Maybe I can go to Xinjiang to see my third aunt. I have never seen her before."

Speaking of this, Xuan'er was unhappy, and said sullenly: "You are fine, you can go out of Beijing to play. This was my good life. As a princess, even going out of Beijing has to be approved by the queen mother and the emperor. It's so boring!"

It was her birthday today, she was wearing a fiery red riding outfit, and she was going to participate in the horse race in the afternoon.

Flicking the little whip in her hand, she muttered in a low voice: "It would be great if you were the emperor, then I will be a little general for you, able to lead troops to fight against bandits, and even patrol around for you to see if there is anyone who bullies the people. Corrupt officials, what's the fun of being a princess?"

Xuan'er shook her head: "I'm a woman, so I can't be the emperor."

Xuan'er said, "Why not? Uncle said that a woman can also be an emperor."

Xuan'er still shook her head: "There is no precedent for a woman to be emperor in this dynasty, nor in previous dynasties, nor in previous dynasties. If a woman wants to set a precedent and become emperor, it is a thousand times more difficult than a man. In my life, my body, It can't be done."

Saying this, what Xuan'er thought in her heart was, how tiring is it to be an emperor?He went to court before dawn every day, and had to approve memorials as high as mountains, and was locked in the palace for the rest of his life, unable to go anywhere.She can't be the emperor, so she can go wandering all over the mountains and plains. Isn't it good to have a leisurely and happy life?

Whoever loves to be the emperor will do it, she is a man, and don't be the emperor... Uncle said that when she is old enough, she will be arranged to die of illness, so that she can go out of Beijing to have fun everywhere!

Thinking of this, Xuan'er narrowed her eyes happily.

Xuan'er was still not reconciled, and muttered: "It doesn't matter if it's a thousand times harder than a man's! Uncle said, as long as you have the determination, take it step by step, and use the right method, anything will be achieved one day."

The more she said the more outrageous, Xuan'er hurriedly stepped forward to tap Xuan'er's lips, and whispered: "Uncle said, be careful!"

Xuan'er shut her mouth unwillingly.

At the right time, Jia Heng came in and reminded loudly: "I said I can't see the master, so the princess is hiding here for leisure."

Hearing a familiar voice, Xuan'er trotted out with a whip in her hand, and cheered, "Jia Heng, why are you coming to play with me now? Xuan'er and I are suffocated to death! Those girls are chattering and talking so much , a hundred sentences per person, I don’t know what they are talking about, it’s buzzing.”

Followed by Xuan'er, who was not in a hurry, and who had quite a bit of Qingshuang's temperament.

Jia Heng smiled and said, "Aren't you girls too?"

He also introduced Xu Shiyin to them.

When Xu Shiyin saw the two girls, he seemed a little shy, lowered his head slightly, and only stared at their skirts, not daring to be too abrupt.

But suddenly, a person approached in front of him, staring at him carefully for a long time.

Xu Shiyin couldn't help looking up, and saw two girls carved in pink and jade huddling together and biting their ears.

One said: "This person looks like the emperor's elder brother when he was a child!"

The other said: "Where does it look like? I didn't see it..."

"The shape of the nose, mouth, and face are very similar! The eyes are more like you."

"Like me? Are you blind? I'm a girl!"

Jia Heng shook his head straight: "You two! Whisper it when you whisper it, don't say it so loudly, okay? We all heard it! You say he looks like a girl!"

The two little girls immediately stopped talking and stared innocently.

Xu Shiyin was not angry, but smiled gently and said, "Perhaps the eyes are like my mother's!"

The two little girls immediately asked, "Who is your mother? Do we know each other?"

"My mother is here..." Before he finished speaking, Xu Shiyin heard someone calling his name, turned his head and saw a smiling woman coming from the corridor of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and said, "I've been looking for you for a while." Yes, I didn't expect you to come here. Come quickly, I'll take you to meet Jia's aunts and aunts."

Bao Cong in the illusion took a closer look, and found that the woman was Qiaoyan whom she hadn't seen for many years!

Bao Cong did not expect such an unexpected reunion.Then he smiled again, thinking that he hadn't finished engraving the map of the boulder in the illusion, this world seems illusory, but it does exist, the world is changing rapidly, why make a fuss?

Looking back at the past and the present, carefully looking at the past and the present, life is always going around in circles, trying to be fully prepared to face changes and storms.How do you know whether the future will be a surprise or a joy or a scare before the coffin is closed?

At this moment, it doesn't matter what Xuaner and Xuaner said, it doesn't matter when everyone sees Qiaoyan again, and it doesn't matter who Qiaoyan's son is.The important thing is, that kid who ran around and made himself look like a beggar monkey should be picked up and taught a lesson!
