Honglou Fudaizhi has professionally planted grass for many years

It is said that it is a literary meeting, but it is just a gathering of a group of literati who communicate with each other and have a relationship with each other, and there are many forms.

For example, Tom has participated in two literary meetings of yamen in Yangzhou.It is said to be a literary meeting, but it is actually a group of young masters gathering to drink and play women's tricks. During the period, the pen, ink, paper and inkstone are just decorations, and the beauties, actors and wine interspersed in it are the key points.

A little more serious cultural meeting, such as the cultural meeting that Baoyu often attends.Among them, there are many obscene words and pornographic songs, everyone provokes each other, and when they agree with each other, there will always be a couple disappearing.This kind is nothing more than a banquet hall for the children of nobles who sell dog meat.

In more serious literary associations, there may be a few virtuous and wise people or noble children, but the rest are just children from poor families who cling to wealth and status in an attempt to make a name for themselves.Among them, the matter of fighting essays is mostly limited to poetry and prose, and there are not many serious articles.

The last kind is the kind of literary meeting that Tom is attending now.During the period, they were all talented and famous literati, and the specially invited Confucianism was also well-known in the world, and the virtue of great talent spread throughout his children.Although Qifengyuan is large, the small voices during the period all conform to the names of various books and ceremonies, elegant voices, and occasional voices discussing current affairs. Although there are not many words, they are always above average. sentence.

Chen Qiongfeng is today's host, and he can't stay by Tom's side all the time. After chatting for a while, introducing some people, he left again.Tom didn't mind, he always attracted people's attention wherever he went.Sure enough, after Chen Qiongfeng left for a while, someone came forward to chat.

The people at this essay meeting are very talented. Although they are not in the court, they have some novel insights when talking about the matters involved.Tom seldom made friends with children from poor families, and this time, there was such an unexpected joy in making friends, which made him let go of his alienation and start talking.

Tom has such a charm that if he wants to, he can always gather many people around him.Just like this literary meeting, many people gathered around him, and many thoughts converged, colliding with different sparks.

I have to say that such exchanges are very interesting.Speaking of the latter, many students, headed by Tom, sat in the courtyard around the great Confucian scholars, preaching words endlessly.

This essay meeting lasted until late at night. Chen Qiongfeng originally wanted to entertain another dinner, but all the students just wanted to go home as soon as possible and write about today's feelings and understandings in articles, so they all declined.

Tom said goodbye to Chen Qiongfeng and went out with the crowd, occasionally one or two students nodded to him.

Hitting horses all the way home, Hengzheng had a clear understanding of the terrain in Beijing, and led Tom around the corners, which was quite a sight to behold along the way.

"Master." Hengzheng reined in the horse, turned around and called Tom, and pointed the whip at the inconspicuous corner of the alley next to him.

Tom squinted and looked.It turned out to be Baoyu, and there was a young man I didn't know, who was about the same age as Baoyu, and looked quite handsome, and the two of them were doing such wretched things in broad daylight.

This kind of thing has been seen a lot in Yangzhou. In addition to loving women, the yamen also love those good-looking men.Tom used to play with them. Although he didn't experience it personally, he had seen a lot of mummers and waitresses, and he had some experience in judging men's sex.

The boy in Baoyu's arms has not yet opened his body, he is quite young, like a fruit that has not bloomed, and the delicate and white body is also considered to be top-grade.Looking at that face again, it is soaked in lust at the moment, and the amorous expression on his face is very provocative.Such a face full of desire coupled with such a youthful body makes him look very attractive in this humble alley in contrast.With such an appearance and such thoughts, it is worth spending some money.

Tom didn't like these things, he just sneered, didn't care, beat his horse and left.

After returning to Rongguo Mansion, Tom greeted Jia Mu first, and then went back to Geng Daoyuan to change clothes.Just about to leave, Jia Mu stopped her: "Yu'er, you go with your brother, I am an old man, the things used in illness are not suitable for you young people. You go back and talk to grandma after dinner, it is you I will also explain the same to my sisters."

"Yes, grandmother." Daiyu got up: "Yu'er will go back to eat first, and then come to talk to grandmother later."

"Go." Mother Jia told Sanchun again: "You just go to eat, and you don't have to accompany me now, it's convenient for me to use it by myself. Come back after you have finished eating, don't worry."

Sanchun got up and left after hearing what he said, leaving only Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang to serve the dinner.

Daiyu and Tom returned to Geng Daoyuan, and Chicao had already received the letter. At this time, the cold dishes were ready, and three meat dishes, three vegetarian dishes, and one soup were added.In just a moment, the meal was ready.

The two of them didn't talk when they were eating, and after eating, they sat down again before going to Rongqing Hall, walking slowly along the way was considered a way to digest food.

Tom didn't have to come, but after listening to the book for a day today, now he doesn't want to touch the book at all, so he simply followed Daiyu to Rongqing Hall to pay his respects.

The rules of the Jia family have always been loose. When Tom came in, the girls did not avoid it, even Baochai, who always talked about the rules, did not avoid it.

The older girls didn't mind the rules, and Tom thought he was a man, and he was not affected by these rules, so he didn't particularly avoid them.

Everyone said a few words before starting, but they didn't expect Baoyu to come back.

"Grandmother, look at the second brother. He came back just as we were having fun. It's not a coincidence. The second brother is a fairy who figured it out, and he came here just by pinch." Tanchun jokingly said.

Mother Jia also smiled and waited for Baoyu to come in, but it was not Baoyu who came in, but a little girl who came in and reported: "Second Master Bao went to the other side of the second master, and took Uncle Qin with him, saying that he will see you later The second master is here to greet the old lady."

"Go to his father? You go to watch it personally, don't let him frighten my Baoyu again, and report to me quickly if there is anything." Jia Mu repeatedly asked, and several girls and women outside went.

Jia Zheng's attitude towards Jia Baoyu was no different from that of a class enemy. Every time he saw it, he had to repair it severely, so it's no wonder that Jia's mother was worried.Even Mrs. Wang is hard to say anything at the moment, but her face is full of worry.

But Jia Zheng didn't argue too much with Baoyu today, probably because Mr. Qin was there, and it's not easy to beat his son like a dog in front of outsiders, so Baoyu was considered lucky today and avoided such a move.

Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang, who received the news at Rongqingtang, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and they couldn't help but feel a little more goodwill towards the little Qin Xianggong who persuaded Baoyu to learn and helped Baoyu avoid this catastrophe.

"This younger brother of Brother Rong's daughter-in-law looks like a good boy." Mrs. Wang rarely praised her.

Mother Jia also nodded and said: "Brother Rong's daughter-in-law is a rare one. Her younger brother is also good, and the Qin family can be regarded as a relative's family. They are also good. They can teach children." Then she turned to Tom and said, "I'm pregnant." Brother, that little Qin Xianggong is the younger brother of the daughter-in-law of Brother Rong next door, and he is younger than you, but this child is considerate and can read. He has improved a lot even by persuading Baoyu."

Mrs. Wang was willing to boast about Mr. Qin's words, but she was not too happy to hear what Jia Mu said, as if Baoyu was taken by Mr. Qin for good.In Mrs. Wang's opinion, not to mention the great fortune of her precious jade, even she is the best.If Baoyu is good, it is what it should be, and there is no need to involve anything else. If Baoyu is not good, it must be caused by others.

Mrs. Wang's complexion was slightly gloomy, she lowered her head so that no one could see the gloomy look in her eyes.

"Study is all about talent. Baoyu is very talented. He is not successful now, but it is because he is still young. Grandma doesn't need to worry too much about it. After a long time, Baoyu is naturally transparent." No No matter the big event, Tom is willing to make the old man happy on such a small matter.

This kind of flattery obviously made the old lady happy, and her eyes narrowed into a line when she smiled.Although it wasn't for Mrs. Wang's sake, she obviously listened to it for her benefit.

Tom is the best at talking, and the old lady is very happy, she can see everything: "Our brother is also a good child, such a young scholar, after a year, I also have a grandson who is a champion." He is big, and his tone is not small when he praises others.

The girl serving next to her was also eloquent: "Our Rongguo Mansion will have a champion grandson in a year of abduction, but don't forget, old lady, in another three years of abduction, our Rongguo Mansion will have a champion grandson." In the past year, what can please the old lady has long been engraved in his bones to understand, and at this time flattery is very handy.

The old lady's face turned into a chrysanthemum with a smile, just as the girl outside broke through the curtain and came in: "Second Master Bao and Master Xiao Qin are here."

After all, Qin Zhong was an outsider, and the girls heard that he had also come in, and hid inside one after another. Only Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue and Tom stayed in front with the old lady.

As soon as the figure entered, Baoyu brought Qin Zhong in to greet him.

Mother Jia rubbed Baoyu in her arms, praised Qin Zhong, and said to Tom, "This is the uncle of the Qin family I mentioned to you earlier. His sister is Brother Rong from the next door. My son's daughter-in-law, and she is eager to learn, so she and Baoyu are studying in the school at home."

Tom was a little surprised when he saw Qin Zhong who came in with Baoyu.It was such a relative's child who played with Baoyu in the alley.At that time, looking at the situation, Tom thought it was a young man who Baoyu got from somewhere, but he didn't expect that such a thing turned out to be a son of the same status as Baoyu.

Compared with his elder sister, Qin Zhong's demeanor was a world away. At this moment in Rongqing Hall, he didn't even dare to lift his head. Listening to Jia Mu's words, he just saluted in that direction.Tom invited him out of face, so he just returned a gift.

Wang Xifeng just came in and looked at Qin Zhong's shy look: "Old Ancestor, I saw this child in the next door mansion the other day, and immediately said that our child has been compared. Look at him like this , how can our family's leather monkeys compare?"

Qin Zhong is soft and beautiful, and compared with Baoyu, who is simple and simple, he is more romantic. Now he is showing a shy look, looking like a shy child.

Seeing his embarrassment, Baoyu secretly tugged at the hem of his robe, and seeing Qin Zhong looking over, she winked at him again and made a strange face.

Qin Zhong was amused, raised his head inadvertently, and caught sight of Tom.

Tom was already extremely handsome, and his manners were very proper.At this moment, there was a hint of a half-smile at the corner of his mouth, holding a cup of tea in his hand, looking down on the teacup, his eyes half-closed and half-closed.

At this glance, Tom had captured Qin Zhong's mind, and he was so dazed that he couldn't let go.His face was full of obsession, but fortunately he had a good face, so he didn't look obscene, but it was really rude to be like this, which made people feel displeased.
