Cold fragrance and warm jade [Red Mansion Chai Dai]

Baoyu's reaction startled Jia Lan.

"Second, second uncle?"

Baoyu also realized it, but he was anxious in his heart, and his face didn't ease too much.

"Could it be that he is far away, and there is no chance to see him today? If that's the case, you can take me there tomorrow. I'll talk to your mother, don't worry!"

"Not far." Jia Lan shook her head, "But she lives in the provincial hospital, and she has a weird temper, so I don't dare to disturb her."

"Best relatives?" Baoyu was startled.Now the other courtyard is basically ready to complete, just waiting for the imperial concubine to visit relatives, there are not many people living in the other courtyard.

When Baoyu heard that the man lived in another courtyard, he only thought of Miaoyu, who was specially invited by Mrs. Wang to live in the Taoist temple he named Quicui'an.

He had met Miaoyu before and knew that this person was indeed different.Baoyu also wanted to get close to him, but because of his noble temperament and many solitary places, Baoyu was afraid that he would be a worldly person, and dared not bother him more, so although he knew this person, he had no contact with him.

"Do you think that person is Miaoyu?"

Jia Lan nodded quickly and said, "It's her! Second Uncle, do you want to go see her now?"

Knowing that the painting was made by Miaoyu, Baoyu hesitated.Since Miaoyu lives in his house, it is very convenient to find her. Baoyu is not in a hurry to go immediately, but is even more worried that if he goes rashly, he will be rude to Miaoyu.

It's just that the content of the painting really caught Baoyu's attention.

When he wanted to take down the hanging painting, he saw Jia Lan who was still standing beside him, so he put away the movement of taking the painting and asked, "How do you know that this painting was painted by Miaoyu? And who wants to take this painting away?" Did the painting hang here?"

This small study is in the courtyard of the Rongguo Mansion, but usually few people come to it, and it is basically idle, so why would someone purposely hang a painting here?

"This..." Jia Lan looked a little dodgy, "If I tell you, don't tell anyone else, okay?"

"Don't worry, I promise you it will be."

Even though Baoyu agreed in this way, Jia Lan didn't dare to say it directly. He walked to the door first, looked around for a while, and saw no one coming this way, so he hurriedly closed the door, and then returned to Baoyu, and said in a low voice: "My mother actually asked me to hang this painting."

"That day my mother didn't know what she did in Changcui Temple, so she brought this painting with her when she came back. Because I was studying in school, I became friends with Jia Zhu, and I often review homework with him. Now we are both aged As I grew older, I couldn't take him to my mother's house after school. However, it's not appropriate to go to his house, so my mother told me that there is also a small study here, which is just right for us to study."

"She asked us to study hard here, and she also asked me to hang this picture scroll here. She only said that if the picture is hung here, people will look at it. If we don't read seriously, people will know the strange words. "

This matter is indeed very strange, there is only one painting, how do you know if Jia Lan and Jia Zhu are really studying hard in the small study?

But Baoyu once experienced strange things in a dream, although the details of the dream have long been unknown, but looking at this painting now, I only feel that the person in the painting is the fairy girl in the dream, how can I not believe that this painting has some magical powers?Therefore, Baoyu paid more respect to the beauty in the painting, and only looked at the painting here for a while, seeing that Jia Lan was still intent on studying, so he didn't bother too much here, and went out of the study to Jia Mu to the room.

After he left, Jia Lan breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the book to continue reading, but the door of the small study was pushed open again, and a person walked in and was about to sit down.

Jia Lan was taken aback, and couldn't figure out why the study, where few people came, was so lively today.

Seeing who it was, he was surprised and delighted: "Uncle Lin!"

It was Lin Chongyu who came.

He was anxious to enter the door first, and he didn't look carefully after he entered. He heard Jia Lan shout, looked at the small figure behind the desk, and smiled in surprise: "I don't know who it is, so it's you! Don't you go to play with other people?" Go, why are you here alone?"

When he asked, Jia Lan blushed and lowered his head, and said coyly: "I'm telling the truth, Uncle Lin doesn't want to laugh at me. Mr. Qian'er asked me to write articles with sentences from college. I read the sentences, although I can Thinking of the content in the book, but I always feel that I can’t figure out the deep meaning in it, and I don’t know what to write, so I thought about going home and reading the university several times. The ancients said that the meaning of reading a book a hundred times is self-evident. I'll read it a few more times, so that I'm really familiar with it, and then I can write articles more fluently than before, right? I'm not as talented as my uncle, so I can only use this stupid method to learn slowly."

"I still don't know what's the matter? Is it just like that?" Sitting on the couch, Chongyu waved to Jia Lan and said, "Do you still remember what sentence you used to write the article that day? Tell me, let's talk about it again." Tell me what you thought that day, and I will tell you."

Jia Lan was full of willingness, but afraid of disturbing Chongyu, she sat down next to Chongyu, but first asked: "Uncle Lin, what do you want to do here? If I delay your business, how can I?" Peace of mind?"

Chongyu laughed and said, "What are you afraid of? I'm really annoyed by their questions. I just want to find a place to hide and be quiet. I used to live in this mansion, and my uncle was also at home. He once told me that if I was in I feel that the room is not clean enough for reading, so I can come to this small study, and I will come here to hide for a while. It is rare that you also know that this place is suitable for reading. I will talk to you about the article, and I will feel more comfortable."

"They asked you? What did they ask?" After all, Jia Lan was very familiar with Chongyu, so he didn't have too many scruples in his words.

"Second brother Xue and I have set up a business firm. These few days, some new decorations made of Western Venus glass and enamel have been added to the firm. Although they are only used as playthings, they are expensive and rare in the capital. Coincidentally, that week Nobleman, Concubine Wu and other families are all interested in these things, even the families of Nan'an County King and Beijing County King want to buy some and put them at home."

"The price of these things is high, and it is not easy to buy. Since I am a guest today, how could they not ask me a few more questions when they see me, so that they can buy those things? There are even people who want to go I bought it for the Wang family of Beijing County. For the sake of my relatives, I’ll keep some for them, but if I also keep some for the Wang family of Beijing County, I don’t have to do business anymore!”

Jia Lan didn't quite understand what Chongyu said, he only knew what doing business was, and it was a rare thing.

He didn't understand even more, so he simply said the title of the previous article, and only talked about the article with Chongyu.
