Sister of the Treasure of the Red Chamber is quitting

It turns out that the three generations of Shen's family are also very popular in Beijing. Mrs. Jia praised his family's oriole for doing well before, and she said that it was when Prime Minister Shen was there.It turned out that the prime minister was Shen Yu's great-grandfather, that is, old man Shen's biological father.When Shen Xiangye begged for the bones, it was to assist Jinshang just to stand on his feet, the old man only said to his children and grandchildren: "It's too late." He brought his family back to their hometown to support them.When it came to Shen Yu's place, it was because of other reasons that Mr. Shen was asked to hide back in Beijing with the only single seedling left.It turned out that all the children of the Shen family were educated, in order to save his grandson's life, Mr. Shen gritted his teeth and begged his former classmates to send Shen Yu to work in the Jinyi Guards.

Don't look at the poor reputation of Jinyiwei's wind, everyone retreats wherever he goes, but he is not the son of the emperor's confidant and cannot enter.Today, I learned that the great-grandson of the old prime minister wanted to find a family background, thinking that the Shen family was always sensible and pretentious, and with a swipe of a pen, Shen Yu made up a five-rank thousand household.After several years, he has worked his way up to the fourth-rank commander, and now he has just made it to the third-rank commander, and he is also the first among the children of the powerful.Anyone who knows the inside story understands that this young man has a bright future, otherwise the commanders above would not have pointed the finger at him, just to be a favor.

The current Master Shen is different from the past, and the doorman does not dare to invite people in to meet him at will, so he ran all the way in to find the master and beat Qian'er and said: "My lord, someone came to you outside, saying that there is a happy event at home to invite you to drink." "Liu Zian next to him listened and leaned over and wondered: "Why is Mr. Shen different from others. There are people who are in Jinyiwei and invite you to dinner, and people with two eyes. Why are some people so rare? What?" Shen Yu stood up and smiled, "It must be that idiot from the Xue family who was rescued last time, and there is no one else beside Jin Yiwei." Then he took the cloak and said to Liu Zi'an, "Otherwise we will go together Go? This Xue Pan is a bit stupid, it's rare that he has a heart of innocence and knows how to repay his kindness. The last time he asked his brothers to go out to eat together, it didn't work. It happened to be today, and I don't know what a happy event. "He did know that Xue Pan made a contract with the daughter of Yang Rui, the concubine of the Nanyang Palace yesterday, but he didn't think about it.After all, not everyone is like Xue Pan, who acts according to his likes and dislikes, and he really couldn't figure out what card he was going to play for a while.

Liu Zi'an only said that some people treat guests for nothing, so he also took his cloak and put it on, and walked out with Shen Yu one after the other.Shen Yu used to be a teacher. After being promoted to a co-prefect, the original position of the teacher was vacant and hadn't been filled yet, so they simply went out with the two of them.

Xue Panfang had already got off his horse outside, and was looking up at the nest of swallows under the eaves, when a corner door next to him was "squeaked" and opened, and it was indeed Shen Yu and a very handsome young man. come out.He hurriedly took two steps forward, raised his hands and shouted: "Shen Engong!" He sounded stupid.Liu Zian made a slight "poof" from behind and hurriedly lowered his head to hold back his laughter, shrugging his shoulders.Shen Yu gave him a slap behind her back with her hands behind her back, and she answered with a "huh" on her face, then turned around and saw a big food box on the stone pier.Xue Pan watched him look at the box, and said with a smile: "Here are some delicious dishes cooked by my family. Please ask the adults next to you to taste the dried fruit and snacks. Next is the duck you praised, and some freshly made bad yellow croakers. Cured duck feet, please have a taste of it." As Lai Fulaiwang rushed over to hand the food box to the door, Xue Pan slowly said: "Yesterday, my family appointed a daughter-in-law for me. I thought about inviting you to have a drink together. Later, the girl said that she was afraid that you would not be able to use it well, so I invited you today, and I must go, just don't worry about it."

Liu Zian sighed softly after standing behind him, this Xue Pan was exactly as Shen Tongzhi said.Originally, Xiao Ding would only invite people who are very close to the family to the banquet of this kind of happy event, and the others either came to the ceremony, or they just attended on the day of the wedding.Regardless of success or failure, at least this person has been thinking about the kindness of others, so it can be seen that he really recognizes good or bad, and his impression of this guy has improved now.Shen Yu was afraid that he would draw everyone to Xue's restaurant with his mouth, so he hurriedly took over the conversation and said, "I know there is a place that cooks Beijing dishes. The ones you moved from Jinling think you don't use much, why don't you give it a try?" Xue Pan As long as someone nods his head, he doesn't care where he is going, he nodded vigorously and said: "Okay, okay, it's all right, please benefactor to show me how to go."

During the conversation, the three of them got on their horses together. Shen Yu turned a few roads ahead and headed all the way in the direction of Jian'anmen. Not far from the Drum Tower, there was a four-story restaurant rising from the street. Old things, the corners of the eaves fly high, full of antiquity.When she got here, Shen Yu grabbed the reins and jumped off the horse, followed by the two people who followed her. A staff member eagerly came up to say hello to Qian'er, handed over the horse to a special caretaker, and led the three of them to the front, talking along the way. : "The three masters must have a separate and clean room to eat and drink? Please come to the third floor."

Xue Pan walked in behind, and there were young boys in clean and neat blue shorts coming and going inside, without any major movement under their feet, and they were very agile.After passing through the central hall, there is a large and wide staircase. The clerk stepped on it and opened a private room facing the street for viewing, and stood in the corner for listening.Shen Yu and Liu Zian didn't bring anyone with them, it was because Lai Fulaiwang was busy with work that they re-arranged the private room, and then invited the master and the distinguished guests to move in and take a seat.Xue Pan called for the water card, and no matter what, he only picked up the most expensive dishes. He ordered roast whole lamb and also ordered roast suckling pig and steamed lamb.Shen Yu hurriedly stopped him and said: "Just the three of us, one sheep is enough, just add some vegetables and meat, and the steamed lamb is only used by the elderly women, so why eat it?" I ordered cold dishes, hot dishes and soup, took the water plate and handed it to the waiter, and said: "No wine, I'm afraid I have to rush to the Yamen in case something happens, it's not appropriate to smell of alcohol." Xue Pan only nodded and said that he must wait until next time Invite him to go home to get drunk while taking a bath, and turn around to drink a good Pu-erh, warming it up in the vat on the side first, and said with a smile: "Prepare some tea to relieve the tiredness first, so as not to be overwhelmed later. .”

While talking, the waiter went out and asked someone to bring up the assortment of meat and vegetable cold dishes and stewed dishes first. The three of them picked up chopsticks and chatted while eating.Liu Zi'an had heard of Xue Pan's reputation for being stupid and reckless long ago, and he didn't discuss with him about reading, calligraphy, economics and official career, and because he was just engaged, it was not easy to talk about romantic topics, so he only picked up the ones he had seen in the past few years when working on cases. Talking about strange things to him made Xue Da idiot startled for a while.Shen Yu smiled and sat on the sidelines watching Liu Zian fooling Xue Pan, almost saying that the Jin Yiwei could grow wings and fly.

Xue Pan almost didn't make Liu Zian limp, his eyes were wide open listening to some god-wondering stories, and he still seemed to want to sneak under the table when he got nervous.Shen Yu looked uncomfortable after listening for a while, reached out and patted Liu Zian: "Okay, don't scare people. Most of those gods, gods and ghosts are pretended by people, and there is no mystery like you said. But everyone These strange people really have the ability to turn iron into gold and turn water into oil as he said. How come they are so desperate to make a living by selling tricks? People just make a fortune without knowing it, and they are really afraid of hurting their morals If you save a few more people, it will be enough, but there will be moths, and you will catch them and cry bitterly and regret it, where will those who have been murdered sufferers go to justify it?" Liu Zian stuffed the vegetables into his mouth. Li chewed and said: "I'm not talking to Brother Xue. If I meet this picker and liar in the future, I will know that there are some tricks. Don't let people be fooled." Xue Pan also nodded in agreement: "That's right, Liu Don’t tell me, brother, I don’t know that there are people who come up with these methods for money, I’m afraid they are crazy about money. How can the gods and Buddhas be so easy to blaspheme, and they are not afraid of going to hell after death to be called peeling and deep frying.”

Liu Zian reached out and picked up an amber walnut, put it on the plate and said, "If you're really afraid, you won't do these things anymore, and you should stand upright on weekdays, so you won't be afraid of those ghosts." He said, wrapping his hands in a layer of sugar shell Throwing the walnut kernels into his mouth, he smiled again: "Do you know your relatives Jia's family? There was a joke earlier this year. It was originally reported to Wucheng Bingma Si to arrest a goddess, During the search, it was found that the house was full of things that the women in the inner house cursed each other, all kinds of Yasha ghosts with green faces and fangs. When I checked, I saw Jia Baoyu from the Jia family and a daughter-in-law's name on it, and it was all spread outside. , but no one is going to tell them, I'm afraid they are still in the dark." Xue Pan raised his head and fell back, suddenly remembering that Baoyu and Lian's second master's daughter-in-law were so ill that there was a bad news. It should be right here, fidgeting for a while, wishing to fly home and tell my sister to hide as far away as possible from that Jia's house.

At this time, the three of them also ate about the same, and Lai Fu Lai Wang would have paid the bill a long time ago, and Xue Pan sent Shen Yu to the house where Shen Yu came and went. Seeing that the two adults had entered, he rode his horse and took his long entourage home.Shen Yu entered the courtyard where he stayed before, and there were few people coming and going except for a few spies who came to deliver notes. He thought for a while, opened the food box on the table, took out the upper layer and explained: "The things inside are human beings. Please share my happy event snacks with you, and don’t forget to save some for the brothers on duty at night.” The spies were so busy that they couldn’t even drink a sip of water, and they were all happy to see these delicious desserts.One who ran fast now came over to boil a pot of hot water, and set aside half of the others to save, and then sat around the small table below and ate one bite at a time.Liu Zi'an went around a few times and made a sesame paste shortbread, took a bite and nodded, "This cook from Xue's family is really good at cooking. I wonder if his girl can bring it as a dowry. I'd rather sell it and marry it at home as a sacrifice!" After hearing this, Yu sneered: "Even if you sell the scrap copper and rotten iron in your house, the Xue family may not be able to take a closer look. They are people who are short of money?" So that he can find out, if he is promoted to the third grade, he dares to weigh the four-color ceremony to come to the door and ask, then he will not dare to have the idea of ​​waiting for a girl to fall into trouble, so he will not be human, and it is worth his own efforts to go up earn.

He thought to himself, but he didn't see anyone bring any news when he went down to the yamen. It was nothing more than a gift from some officials, big and small, and even Jin Yiwei didn't bother to catch him if he went a little too far.Shen Yu had no choice but to get up, and took the food box home on the first floor.Now that it's cold, the old man doesn't lie down on the rocking chair under the flower shelf any more. Jian Tian hugs the cat to hide on the kang and warms himself by the fire. The duck's paws and the fish's groove can't possibly please him a little bit.

In winter, the nights are long and the sky gets dark early.When Shen Yu went out and rode on the horse, she found that the snow particles were sprinkled down like salt, and hurried home before the slippery road, and the ground outside the door was already white.Mr. Shen was worried about his grandson, so he asked the old man to set up a charcoal basin outside.After finally looking forward to returning to the little master, the old Cangtou hurriedly moved several handfuls of snow and pressed it on the charcoal basin, opened the door and led the horse with Shen Yu and walked in, even ignoring the charcoal basin outside.Shen Yu hurriedly handed the food box to him, and led the horse to the stable to settle it. When he came back, Mr. Shen had already embraced the big orange cat at home, drooling around the opened food box.

The old man has suffered from phlegm surges for several years, and the doctor specifically told his family members not to always give him big meat and drinks. At this time, when he sees meat and wine, he is about to commit a gluttony: "There are ducks, cured duck feet and slotted yellow croakers, um , This taste is right! It's too cold in the year, let's go together?" Shen Yu said with a "hehe": "Do you still want to see your grandson? If you want to see your grandson, don't mention the wine, don't come here Just a little warmer." The old man curled his lips and complained to him: "I don't know who is your real grandfather, but you listen to that old man like this." He said that he wanted to play a child's temper when he hugged the cat, but he still thought about it. Reluctant to part with the duck in his mouth, he moved his buttocks and finally sat back and urged the cook to heat up the duck first.While waiting for the duck, the old man peeled the yellow croaker meat and fed it carefully to the big yellow cat. Shen Yu saw that the cat was eating so much, she turned around and went to the chest of drawers to put two one-two wine cups, and then asked someone to heat them up After the shochu was served, we looked up at the snow that was getting bigger and bigger outside with the duck that had just been warmed up: "It's snowing, I'm afraid it won't melt in the New Year's day, just use charcoal when it's cold, don't put it on." Save it if you’re afraid it won’t be enough, there’s always something you can get.”

Here, the grandparents and grandchildren of the Shen family are happily eating duck with a little wine, and Baochai is meeting someone at home that he never expected.Yesterday, the relatives of each family gave presents, and Baochai gathered eight old fans from Jia's big house twice and sent them to the stone nerd who was hiding in the pawn shop. When it was dark and snowing, Baba begged to come in and see her.Baochai originally wanted to send him to the front yard to make do for the night and wait until dawn tomorrow, but this man killed him and said that he had something fatal to report, so he couldn't waste a second.I had no choice but to change my clothes again and ask my mother-in-law to set up a screen in the flower hall, and after sitting down at the back, I asked Bai Ling to lead people in.

The stone nerd followed Bai Ling in with his head down and didn't dare to look around. The big maid told him that he had arrived, and he knelt on the ground with a bang, and tremblingly took out a fan from his sleeve and pushed it in front of him: "Mr. Girl, this afternoon you sent me a box of old fans, some of them were indeed lost by me, but there was one not, may I ask where did you get this fan?" Baochai turned her head and said Calling Bailu, the list of family favor accounts and gifts are all her Prime Minister, Bailu stood up and said softly: "Girl, it is true that it was given by the second girl yesterday, and no one in the family is good for this. There are only nine of them, and there is no need to change them." What she said is reasonable, the Xue family has been an imperial merchant for several generations, and the head of the family likes to listen to the abacus the most. If he has the time to play with a fan, he only uses it for fanning, and does not accept it. Things, Curry really doesn't have one.At that moment, Baochai had a solid idea in his mind, so he didn't say much to the stone nerd, but asked him, "What's the origin of this fan?"

The stone nerd knelt down and kowtowed again: "So that the girl can know that the little ancestors repaired literature, play, calligraphy and painting with the nobles to make a living. I saw this fan when I was young. It was a very powerful master of calligraphy and painting in the previous dynasty." The imitation of the old fan, nothing else is very important, but this fan should not be seen again." Baochai didn't want to tangle with him, knocked on the chair and said: "Speak up if you have something to say, this hall is full of Xue's family. My servant, if something goes wrong in the master's house, none of them can run away, and no one dares to spread it." After hearing this, the stone nerd was relieved and continued: "Thank you for your generosity. When I was young, this fan was sent to my house by a customer for repair. At that time, the guest only smiled and said that it doesn’t matter whether he is true or not, it’s just a pet, and it needs to be carefully repaired by the young grandfather. After the repair, someone will come to pick it up, and the silver given is full of official silver. Later, I found out that the guest who repaired the fan was the old Chitose, Prince Yizhong who had broken something! The little one thought, since this thing is the favorite of the old Chitose, it must be buried with him, so how could it be passed on to the In the hands of the eldest girl? This robbery of the imperial tomb is a serious crime against the nine clans, so I dare not report it in time!"

Baochai thought for a while and asked him: "You say this fan is an ancient relic imitated by people from the previous dynasty. How do you know that no one has made another imitation? If so, there is nothing terrible." The stone nerd just shook his head and argued hastily: " The little one recognized that this fan was sent to be repaired by the old Chitose. At that time, the little one was still young and the skin was very skinny. He knocked over the ink cartridge on his grandfather's desk, and the splashed ink dripped on the fan. My grandfather lost the strength of his old nose. I just hid it in the original painting of the fan, and got a big beating for this little one, and I will never forget it." At this time, Bailing picked up the fan from the ground and sent it to Baochai behind the screen, and she gently Opened the fan bone and looked at it carefully, then put it away on the table and said: "Thank you for reminding me, sir, but it is really nothing to be afraid of. I'm not afraid to check, it's nothing to do with Xue's family. Troubled Mr. to run this trip in the middle of the night. If you go out now, you will violate the curfew. Why don't you go to my brother's place in the front yard and find someone to deal with it for the night, and use it tomorrow morning I'll go back to the pawn shop after dinner." Hearing her firm tone, the stone nerd no longer panicked, and really followed a woman to the front yard, and as soon as Baochai left, he asked someone to pour a cup of hot tea and ate it slowly. .

The author has something to say: Yes, the main municipal heating pipe was dug up by electric maintenance personnel in the coldest few days, and the resentment gradually overflowed...
