Because of the sudden appearance of Shui Shen, Yao Qinglan returned to her own boat without saying a word, and got into the cabin in despair.Shui Shen stood far away on the deck, glanced at Yang Yi with a half-smile, and followed him in.

Nanju and Beizhi came out with two octagonal bronze stoves carved with plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, and seeing that Yao Qinglan was no longer there, they said, "Master, let a young man deliver this thing!"

"Go ahead, go find the boatman again after you have given the things, let them avoid the Yao family's boat, don't drive alongside them, there are too many things to do."

"I see that Mr. Yao is a nice person, and he looks funny." Nan Ju said.

"He's a nice guy, so he shouldn't be friends with us. Hurry up, I'll go to my room to sleep for a while, and call me after dinner."

"Understood, sir. It's too early to wake up today, sir, go to sleep, there is still more than an hour until lunch, we will not forget to wake you up." Bei Zhi nodded hurriedly.

Yao Qinglan went back to the cabin and was lectured by Shui Chen. She felt unhappy and just dropped two teacups when the servant sent by the Lin family came over with four copper stoves.Yao Qinglan clapped her hands happily, and asked Yao Chang to grab a few silver nudes for him.After sending the person away, Yao Qinglan picked up a palm-sized hand stove to have a look, smacked her lips and said, "Look at this simple stove, it's worthy of belonging to an upright official."

Shui Chen took another hand stove to look at it, and snorted: "An upright official, that's because he didn't spend his money on the bright side. There has never been anyone who was a salt patrol censor since ancient times. Besides, Li Ruhai's Yue family But the Jia family, that family is famous for their extravagance in Jinling. The biggest official in the family is a first-class general with no real power. How much better."

"You mean that Jia Baoyu who was brought up like a girl? When I went to Jinling to visit my aunt the year before last, I met him once in a teahouse. She really looked like a lotus flower, and she was taller than all the sisters in our family. Beautiful. But the ostentation was really big, there were about a dozen young servants following behind, I remember that when you were young, the third child, you were only followed by four servants." Yao Qinglan said after thinking for a while.

"Let's not talk about this family, the second lord Ning Rong did some things back then, but now it's only a generation later, but he has produced a bunch of pickled things." Shui Chen said, while handing the stove to Wu Fu, the servant next to him: " Go add some charcoal fire, it's also very cold today."

"Slaves, should you add charcoal to the foot stove?" Wu Fu took the hand stove and said.

"Add it." Shui Chen replied, looked at Yao Qinglan again and said, "You really haven't improved at all in the past few years. If you can kill your stove this time, you can kill your life next time."

"Don't talk about me, that Zhongshun was just born to a singer. These years haven't crushed you to death. The thing in our family is still a girl from the Houfu. I, a little magistrate's daughter, was born naturally. Not as good as him." Yao Qinglan said.

When talking about King Zhongshun, Shui Shen felt bored, so he changed the subject and said, "What did you do on his boat just now?"

"Borrow the stove." Yao Qinglan pointed to Wu Fu who came over holding the stove filled with charcoal fire.

"Could it be that the servant's long legs are for looking at, so you need to lick your face and ask someone to borrow it?" Shui Chen said with squinting eyes.

Yao Qinglan scratched her head, knowing that she couldn't hide it, she closed her eyes and said like a rascal, "I think the Lin family boy looks good, and I will meet him in the past."

"You've seen a lot of good-looking people, right? The Jia Baoyu you just mentioned is much more beautiful than the Lin family."

"It's not that good-looking, I just see him sitting on a stool covered with a fluffy blanket, like the Persian cat my aunt got from a missionary when I was a child, weak and lazy, looking into people's hearts Itchy." Yao Qinglan smiled deeply into the water, revealing a tacit smile that any man would understand.

Hearing these words, Shui Chen couldn't help thinking of Yang Yi's appearance just now. The young man who just reached his chest was wearing a pink-blue brocade robe with a fur edge, and a circle of white fox fur around the round neck. He is a young boy, but the pair of peach eyes on his face is a kind of carefree expression that does not take time and everything in his eyes, which makes people really love him when he sees it.It's just that the identities of this young man doomed them not to make friends, and maybe they would become enemies in two years' time.

Shui Chen thought about these words, and finally only said to Yao Qinglan to be careful, and then returned to his room with the stove in his hand.

As soon as Yang Yi woke up, Nanju Beizhi had prepared a meal and wanted to wake him up. Seeing that he was awake, he handed over a hot handkerchief, wiped his face, and got dressed.

"Is sister eating in the room?" Yang Yi sat down at the table and picked up chopsticks and asked.

"Well, Xueyan said that the girl felt uncomfortable due to the cold wind in the morning, and fell asleep. I brought the food in, and it was cheap to eat." Bei Zhi scooped a spoonful of bacon and bamboo shoot soup from the soup bowl into a small bowl , took another chopsticks of bacon slices and chopsticks of bamboo shoots into the bowl, then handed the bowl to Yang Yi and said, "I'm afraid I'm cold when I just woke up, drink some hot soup to keep warm!"

Although the ship is luxuriously built, the heat preservation measures are not as good as that of the house. Even if two pots of charcoal were burned in the room, Yang Yi still felt cold when he fell asleep. Stomach said: "Since my sister is suffering from the cold, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat these greasy meals. After you finish eating, go to the kitchen and ask the cook to pick up chicken breasts and cut them into shreds to cook some shredded chicken porridge. Small dishes, I think it will be more appetizing."

"You don't have to worry too much." Nan Ju sat at the bottom of the table, took a large chopstick and ate the fish, and said, "The Zijuan girl that the girl brought from Jia's mansion has already ordered two or three light dishes to be boiled in the kitchen. As for the porridge, I also prepared seven or eight kinds of good and refreshing side dishes, saying that I let the girls try them one by one, and they can always find something to eat. I don’t know if this is the way we eat when we are in Jia’s mansion. It has never been like this in the Lin family. Even if the porridge is cooked in the smallest pot, a few girls and a few servants in her room can't eat so much, and we each have our own meals. When it gets cold, you have to throw it away. This is the girl in the Duke’s mansion who is more elegant than the lady of the ordinary rich family. She doesn’t know that rice is expensive, and the breakfast given to the girl this morning ate a month’s food money from a country family. .”

"There is no such way of eating. A few years ago, when my wife was still here, it was often like this. You are talking nonsense again, be careful that Zijuan will hear you, and wait until she comes to her territory to trouble you." Bei Zhi said.

"With her around, I wouldn't say these things." Nan Ju said, rolling her eyes.

Halfway through Yang Yi's meal, a servant from Yao's boat came, carrying a food box, bowed to Yang Yi and said, "Our master asked the younger one to bring some freshly roasted mutton to Master Lin, and said It’s thanks to Uncle Lin for the copper stove. Our master said that the cook for the barbecue is a barbarian from the north, and the roasted meat is the most delicious. I hope Uncle Lin will like it.”

Yang Yi smelled the smell of barbecue in the air, and said: "Get up, put your things down and go back, thank you for your kindness on my behalf. Bei Zhi sent this little brother off."

The young man hurriedly brought a large plate of roasted mutton in the food box to the table, then covered the food box and followed Bei Zhi out.Bei Zhi sent the boy to the hatchway of the ship and stuffed him with a small purse. When he returned to the room, he saw that Yang Yi was already holding up the roasted mutton and his mouth was full of oil, so he smiled and said: "This mutton is very dry, although it is cold Eat to warm up, but my body is weak, so I can't eat too much, just taste the taste."

"I don't eat these greasy things at home. It's rare for me to eat them. You let me eat a few more pieces. I know you don't like this, so just leave me alone. By the way, you can use that plate to pick up some good ones. Send it to my sister, although she definitely doesn't know how to eat it, but if I don't send it, it will seem that I don't take her seriously, and if I find out, I will get angry again."

Bei Zhi then went to get a large white porcelain plate, picked out six or seven pieces of high-quality roast mutton, and said at the same time: "If you want me to say, our girl is good at everything, but she is too petty. The old lady is here From time to time, it was often said that the girl did not have the style of a lady, but she was like a Xiaojiabiyu."

"Isn't it just petty, so when we arrive at Rongguo Mansion, you will follow her temperament when you talk and do things in front of her in the future, don't make her unhappy? Others blame me. In Rongguo Mansion, she is the direct granddaughter there , I’m just a concubine who has been in her favor, and if she gets upset, the entire family will blame me.” Yang Yi sounded the alarm for the two of them. As long as you like Jia Baoyu, you can go smoothly, but if you want to like Jia Baoyu, you must first like Lin Daiyu, and Lin Daiyu sees him as a concubine who is not very pleasing to the eye, and there is always someone who is [-]% not pleasing to the eye. Yes, so Yang Yi felt that the road ahead was more and more difficult.

Yao Qinglan saw that the sent servant had returned, and immediately asked, "What did Uncle Lin say?"

"Just say thank you for your kindness, and don't say much else." The boy said with his head down.

"Then do you think Uncle Lin is happy or unhappy?" Yao Qinglan asked.

In fact, the boy didn't dare to raise his eyes just now, and he didn't see that Yang Yigao was unhappy, but he thought that Yang Yi, a bastard, would not oppose Yao Qinglan, so he said, "I am very happy to see Uncle Lin."

"As long as I'm happy, I'll find him to recite poems and make paintings after I take a nap." Yao Qinglan happily took a big mouthful of hot tea and said.It took more than a month to walk from Yangzhou to Jinling Road, Yao Qinglan didn't want to stay with Shui Chen all this month, it wouldn't suffocate him, so she wanted to talk to Yang Yi to relieve boredom.

"Hey, lord, just now the third prince asked you to be careful." Yao Chang stood aside and coughed as a reminder.

Yao Qinglan waved her hand indifferently, "Why don't you pay attention to proportion when reciting poems and painting? I heard that Lin Qiuyu studied very hard. It just happened that the third child said that I didn't study hard, and it would be difficult to be a big job in the future. I will find Lin Qiuyu to read and write with me." It couldn't be more appropriate."

"Then, if you make the third prince angry, then don't use the small one to top the vat. The small one can't bear it." Yao Chang said with a frown. Yao Qinglan will always make people angry. It is to make Master Yao angry, and when he is with Shui Chen, it is to make Shui Chen angry, and every time he gets into trouble, he will have nothing to do, and the one who suffers the most will always be Yao Chang, his close follower.

"Don't worry, if I'm willing to study hard, the third child couldn't be happier, he will have to take care of me to keep myself clean!" Yao Qinglan said.

The author has something to say:

I like Lin Daiyu quite a lot. There are few characters in Dream of the Red Chamber that I hate, especially the girls.But Lin Daiyu really doesn't have a good attitude towards people she doesn't like, and she doesn't speak well.Xue Baochai would pretend to like it even if she didn't like it.

Looking at their attitudes from different perspectives, both of them have good and bad attitudes. Yang Yi's current identity is an unpleasant bastard, and Lin Daiyu would never think of such things as relying on her natal family when she gets married. At the meeting, she had one thing in mind, so Yang Yi would definitely not like her performance.If Yang Yi is Xue Baochai's concubine brother, Xue Baochai will definitely win over Yang Yi who can study for the sake of the Xue family, but he may not like Yang Yi inside, and Yang Yi will not like this attitude.
