[Red House] No one knows that it is lychee

Liu Xianglian supported her body and sat up, but was surprised to find that her hands were weak.

Feng Ziying saw it, and hurried into the room: "Don't get up, the fever has lasted for a long time, and it only subsided yesterday."

Liu Xianglian was dumbfounded: "Am I infected with a cold?"

"Otherwise?" Feng Ziying raised her eyebrows, and suddenly moved closer to Liu Xianglian, asking in a low voice, "Where did you go? Why did you come back wet? If you didn't find out in time, your life would be ruined." It will be sent to Yangzhou."

Liu Xianglian seemed very indifferent: "It's okay, it will pass after a while, nothing happened."

Feng Ziying sneered: "You didn't see your appearance in sleep, and you still said nothing happened?"

Liu Xianglian was too lazy to listen to his words, so she simply cut off the conversation: "What are you doing here?"

"I have business in Yangzhou," Feng Ziying snorted, "Chen Yuetang has accepted apprentices, and all the scholars in the world will gather in Yangzhou. What do you think I am here?"

Liu Xianglian looked at Feng Ziying suspiciously: "Are you a scholar?"

Feng Ziying: ...

Lychee was sitting in the gazebo in the garden of the Lin Mansion, watching Jia Baoyu standing outside, facing a bush, the whole person was in a trance.

"Ever since my father told my second elder brother that he wanted to be a teacher, he has looked like this." Lin Daiyu has grown accustomed to it from helplessness, and now she looks very indifferent as she drinks the tea served with lychees. Let him go."

Li Zhi looked at Jia Baoyu's dazed look, wanted to laugh but was embarrassed, so he could only bear it: "Girl, this... Er Ye has been standing there, he will catch cold."

Lin Daiyu thought for a while, and what she said was true, so she raised her voice a little, and called Baoyu, "Second brother, don't stand there anymore, be careful."

Jia Baoyu shivered, and then came back to his senses. He walked into the gazebo step by step, feeling a little unreal: "...the wind is really not small."

Lin Daiyu didn't know what to say, seeing Jia Baoyu's distraught appearance, she also found it funny: "Second elder brother, since he said he was going, then what is it to be so afraid?"

Jia Baoyu was taken aback: "This..."

"A man stands in the world, and he must do what he says." Lin Daiyu was very serious, "If the second brother doesn't have the courage, then don't go."

Facing the rare and serious Lin Daiyu, Jia Baoyu was a little speechless.

"Second brother, think about it carefully." After Lin Daiyu finished speaking, she stood up and led the maids away.Jia Baoyu was left alone in the garden, unable to recover for a long time.

Back at Lin Daiyu's room, Lin Daiyu couldn't help sighing, and told Lizhi: "Make something sweet, the second brother is afraid that he will feel uncomfortable."

Lizhi responded and went down.

-

I don't know if Lin Daiyu's slap in the face will be of any use to Jia Baoyu.

Lizhi stood in the small kitchen, thinking about Jia Baoyu's appearance just now, wanted to laugh and felt sorry for him.

Thinking of what Lin Daiyu said just now to make something sweet, Lizhi thought about it, and didn't plan to bother, just washed a pear, put it in a small cup, then dug out the pear core, put two or three pieces of rock sugar and Some red dates, followed by charcoal grilling.

Roasted pears are easy to make, but it takes a little time. When Lizhi brought the roasted pears to Jia Baoyu, Jia Baoyu also returned to his room, but he still looked sluggish.

Lizhi deliberately stepped a little harder, but Jia Baoyu didn't even lift his head: "Let's put it there."

...the nose is quite good.

Lizhi put the small cup containing roasted pears on the table in front of Jia Baoyu: "Second Lord, try it."

Jia Baoyu sat up straight slowly, took the small cup, opened it, blinked and blinked: "Lichi, what if I... don't pass the exam?"

Li Zhi had an innocent face: "...Go back to the capital."

Jia Baoyu was startled, but he didn't think of this question.

"Could it be that the second master really wants to go back to the capital?" Li Zhi smiled and said intentionally or unintentionally.

Jia Baoyu was speechless - Lizhi was right, he really didn't want to go back to the capital.

After sitting there and eating two mouthfuls of roasted pears, Jia Baoyu suddenly stood up: "Clean up, I'm going out."

Lizhi was blessed, and watched Jia Baoyu go out with the two servants, and then took away the half bowl of roasted pears.

-

When Jia Baoyu reached the street, he was a little dazed.

Lin Daiyu's words stimulated him to a certain extent, but Jia Baoyu was not sure if his goal was the same.

If he really became Chen Daru's disciple...how would it be different from now?

Conferring kings and worshiping ministers, increasing officials and becoming nobles?Is that all?

The two servants looked at Jia Baoyu's swaying appearance, and wanted to step forward with some worry, but they couldn't follow too closely, so they could only fall not too far or too close.

The confused Jia Baoyu finally sat on the second floor of a restaurant.

"Mediocrity, it's pure mediocrity." Jia Baoyu muttered, "It's just like what Sister Lin said, so there's no need for it."

What if you pass the exam, but what if you don't?

Jia Baoyu was deeply troubled by this question, and sighed several times in a short period of time.

"What's wrong?" Suddenly, a middle-aged man sitting on the table next to him spoke to Jia Baoyu, "You are young, why are you sighing?"

Jia Baoyu looked back at the middle-aged man, and was slightly taken aback - he saw that this man was wearing a long, starched gown that was somewhat whitish, with a beard on his chin, but he looked elegant.

The middle-aged man was holding a wine cup in his hand, seeing Jia Baoyu looking over, he also smiled at Jia Baoyu: "Young master, sit down here?"

Jia Baoyu unexpectedly sat at the table of the middle-aged man.

"Come, have a drink," the middle-aged man poured Jia Baoyu a glass of wine, "You are not very old, why are you sitting here sighing?"

Jia Baoyu took a shallow sip of the wine, and almost coughed because of the heat: "Ahem cough cough...this wine..."

"This is ordinary wine." Seeing Jia Baoyu's blushing face, the middle-aged man couldn't help laughing, "Young master comes from a wealthy family, so I'm afraid he has never drunk such wine."

Jia Baoyu managed to regain his composure, and he smiled at the middle-aged man with some embarrassment: "...Indeed, I haven't drank."

"Come on, let's try this dish." The middle-aged man didn't ask the question just now, but greeted Jia Baoyu to eat, "Ms. Liu's braised pork is a must in Yangzhou City."

The two young servants stood guard not far away, watching Jia Baoyu and the middle-aged man gradually have a happy conversation, the two young servants were even more worried.

At this time, Jia Baoyu had already confided everything in his heart.

"...I really don't understand," Jia Baoyu held his chopsticks, his expression very tangled, "Now that things have happened, I don't even understand why, and I don't even feel like I don't understand."

The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and said, "It's not that you don't understand, it's that you don't dare."

Jia Baoyu's hand holding the chopsticks froze instantly.

"Young master, you come from a noble family," the middle-aged man said with a light smile, "If it wasn't so, why would you be so wary?"

"Just do what you want to do, and you can refuse what you don't want to do," the middle-aged man grabbed the jug and poured himself another glass of wine, "Why did you get it?"

"You have no guts like this, but you can't do anything, young master." The middle-aged man put away the stern words just now, and his tone became gentle again, as if he wasn't the one who said the harsh words just now.

Jia Baoyu was silent. He sat there, and after a long while, he stood up suddenly and called the two boys not far away: "Let's go, we're going back."

The man watched Jia Baoyu walk out of the restaurant, smiled slightly, and left with the flagon in hand.

He went out, turned two corners, and walked around to the back door of the yamen.The man entered the back door with ease, and soon found where Lin Ruhai was.

Lin Ruhai didn't look surprised when he saw the man who pushed the door in: "How?"

"Well, it's kind of talented." The man sat lazily on the chair, "it's just a little weak."

Lin Ruhai calmly dealt with the official documents on the table, and answered coldly and mercilessly: "It's normal for a kid from a rich family to be weak."

"Even so, the teacher doesn't have to accept him," the man glanced at Lin Ruhai, "Are you so confident?"

Lin Ruhai sneered: "Even you were accepted as a disciple back then, Baoyu is talented and intelligent, so why not?"

The man choked for a moment, and didn't know how to refute for a moment.

Lin Ruhai put the things in his hands aside, and raised his head: "How did you find it?"

Mentioning this, the middle-aged man's expression also became serious: "There is no news, it was obviously just two people, but they disappeared without a trace, as if the world had evaporated."

"Can't even find you?" Lin Ruhai glanced at him thoughtfully, "This is also strange."

"However, that kid Liu Xianglian is pretty good," the man leaned back in his chair, and sighed again, "It can be cultivated."

At the same time, Liu Xianglian, whom the man called "nice", was sitting at home sneezing wrapped in thick clothes.

The wind and cold came fiercely, and although the fever subsided, it was still not healed.During this period of time, he couldn't go out, so he could only stay in the house to recuperate.

Likewise, his supervision of the two birds was less than qualified.The big parrot is fine, and like him, it stays in the house all day long, but mynah always flies out intentionally or unintentionally.

Occasionally, Liu Xianglian would smile at mynah and say, "Could it be that there is that stunning beauty out there, telling you to fly out every day?"

However, what Liu Xianglian didn't expect was that he actually became a prophecy.

Lizhi was happily making roasted pears in the small kitchen, and wanted to make one for Lin Daiyu, but just as she was about to take out fresh pears, a feather suddenly fell from the top of her head.

...a black feather.

Lizhi instantly sounded an alarm in her mind, she suddenly raised her head, and saw that at some point, a bird had already stopped on the stove in the small kitchen.

——A mynah covered in pitch black was looking back at her innocently.
