The Red Chamber: Lianyufengchai

Seeing that the small house was full of people, Jia Lian had no choice but to stand in the middle and couldn't help laughing, "It seems that you want me to tell you a story or a joke?"

Xiang Yun clapped his hands and said, "Tell me about Duan Shu first, then tell a joke!"

Jia Lian smiled and said, "Then I'll tell you about the "Legend of the New White Snake", saying that there was a white snake [*] years ago..."

Based on his impressions, Jia Lian added at will, but he said it was coherent and ups and downs.

Zhou, these little wives and girls, usually listen to some pipa and peony in the West Wing. Have you ever heard of such a story about love between gods and ghosts? They all listened to it at once, and quietly listened to Jia Liantao talking about it for an hour. Seeing the opportunity, Xiang Yun took the tea shop from Man'er's hand, "Second brother Lian, drink a cup of water and talk about it! The white lady scared Xu Xian to death, what should I do? What should I do if I don't repay my kindness, but kill my life? ? Say it, say it!"

Jia Lian smiled helplessly: "Sister Yun, how about you let me drink a glass of water first?"

"Okay!" She stood on tiptoe and hurriedly handed the tea shop to Jia Lian's mouth. It fell and hit Jia Lian's feet.

Cha Zhong was fine, Sister Shuifeng who splashed Jia Lian all over smiled and said, "What is the girl in such a hurry? Ping'er? Ping'er took the clothes and went out with Jia Lian, and went to the other side room to serve and change clothes.

Xiang Yun lowered his head and said to Sister Feng, "Second sister-in-law, I really didn't mean it just now!"

"I know you're worried about Xu Xian!" Sister Feng joked, "I'll ask your second brother to skip this paragraph, let's listen to the joke."

Xiang Yun held Sister Feng in his arms, "Good sister-in-law, you can't do it like this, I'll make a pair of Hanzi for the second brother too, right?"

Unconsciously, Xiangyun followed Sister Sanchun and called her second brother, and changed her name to Baoyubao's brother. The joke about shoes had already spread among relatives.

Feng said, "Okay, even you arranged me?" The green jade pointed at Xiangyun's forehead, "I don't have the ability to make shoes, so your second brother pointed you sisters to make it for him!"

Xiang Yun said with a smile: "Second brother talks about an hour and I will give him an hour, and if he talks about a day, I will do it for a day."

You suddenly laughed and said, "Then your second brother hasn't told ten of the original play? By then, you have finished all ten pairs of shoes, and Xu Xian hasn't been rescued yet!"

Made everyone burst into laughter

Chapter [*] Not long after the book was delivered on Baoyu's birthday, Jia Lian changed his attire and came back, only to see him wearing a square flat towel on his head, a crane cloak and soap sash, and a white straight robe inside, and said with a smile, "I just remembered that tomorrow is for one person. On your birthday, while everyone is here, I will set up a few tables in the small courtyard, and invite you to the meeting at that time!"

Tan Chun said: "Tomorrow is Brother Bao's birthday. Naturally, he will have a banquet at the old lady's place. Why is it at the second brother's place?"

"Tomorrow is also Baoyu's child?" Jia Lian was surprised and asked Tanchun curiously: "Yes, who is the person that the second brother said?"

Jia Lian said with a smile: "It's a coincidence that my family's Ping'er is also tomorrow! It's a mess."

Youshi Li Wan glanced at Ping'er, which meant it was self-evident that Xichun was still young, but she felt that Ping'er was considerate, generous, gentle and pleasant, and laughed, "It's time to eat your wine!"

Ping'er was standing behind Sister Feng, and when Jia Lian talked about her birthday, she was moved and hurriedly stood up and blessed, "Miss grandma, this servant is only a servant, how dare you work for you? I'm afraid that our lord is joking, so let's just listen to it as a joke!"

Sister Feng pulled her, "You've been with me for so many years, and I don't even know your birthday. It's hard for your second master to remember it for you."

Ping'er said anxiously: "Second grandmother, Su Cong said it quickly, and somehow the second grandfather knew about it."

Sister Feng said with a smile: "If you don't say it, our second master has to inquire about it! It's just that tomorrow is Baoyu's big day, it's not easy to rush, and we will congratulate you on your birthday tonight!"

Ping'er still postponed: "How dare a slave maid..."

Sister Feng interrupted: "You only need to be slaves and slaves. Our second master doesn't treat you as slaves."

You Shi stood up and took Ping'er to look up and down, before he said with a smile, "Since that's the case, if you eat Baoyu's feast tomorrow, how about I come to toast you in the evening?"

Ping'er hurriedly said: "Grandma, how can this work?"

Jia Lian said: "Why not? Just add a pair of bowls and chopsticks to your grandma Jane when the time comes.

Not too much of this meal”

You Shi spat; "If it was your baby, I wouldn't come! I'll only give Ping'er girl face 々々."

Li Wan hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'm fine, why don't we all have fun? Yingchun and the others all agree, only Xiangyun hurriedly said, "Second brother, we'll talk about sister Ping tomorrow, you only take Xu Xian The thing was said first. "

Everyone laughed, so Jia had to turn into a storyteller again, talking nonsense and talking about a white lady who had already changed beyond recognition, which made Tanchun sigh, "It turns out that this Bai Suzhen was actually the one who killed Bailitou Baidi, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty. daughter?"

Ah? Well, it's no wonder that Bai Suzhen has a background to be so powerful.

After talking for a while, the old lady came and told everyone that it was night. Pingersuer took Jia Lian to rest, and there was nothing to remember. The next day, the imperial court announced the imperial decree. Even though Jia Zheng and Jia Lian thought that Jia She was still recovering from illness, it was not appropriate to do a big job, but he had to follow Jia Zhen’s request, and arranged a banquet in Fangyuan. A little play.

Jia Zhen, who has nothing to do with anything, got this pretext today, and she was extravagant and extravagant.

Jia Lian ate a few bowls of wine, then said that he was drunk and left the Ning Mansion to return to the Rong Mansion.

In the old lady's flower hall, there were bursts of laughter.

Feng turned around with the wine glass in his hand, and just took a few pieces of pheasant cubs and put them in the Baoyu bowl, "Today is your birthday, you can't drink wine when you are young, sister-in-law is a gift for congratulations."

"How can it be done?" You said jokingly; "How can there be such a stingy sister-in-law? This banquet"

It's all from the old lady, why did you take it for congratulations?"

The old lady smiled and said, "Your sister-in-law Zhen is right, don't let you take advantage of me!

Sister Feng was also proud, "Brother Bao, what do you want? As long as my sister-in-law has what I have, I will give it to you!"

Only then did Baoyu secretly drink a glass of wine with Xiangyun, then turned to Sister Feng and said, "Really?"

Feng smiled and said, "That's natural: after all, do you want pearl powder, or a tuxedo? Or a collection of classics, a collection of classics, and a strategy for Shiwendian?"

All the sisters laughed and Xiang Yun stood up and said, "How could Brother Bao still want those girls' things?"

Tan Chun pulled her down and laughed softly: "Yesterday I even saw him hiding in the green gauze cabinet and mixing rouge and gouache!"

Xiang Yun stared, "It's so big, it's not promising yet?"

Beside Baoyu listened, "Sister Yun, I'll give you a box when I look back. Can you comb my hair?"

Xiang Yun smiled and said, "Then I have to think about it.

Madam Wang ate a bit of chicken breast and said, "Feng girl is playing tricks on Baoyu again, what does he need?"

The old lady nodded and said, "Even so, I can't spare girl Feng!"

Yuanyang whispered in the old lady's ear, and the old lady smiled and said, "Well, how much money we have on this table will be counted on Feng girl!"

You agreed: "Old lady, it's long overdue. It's not only Song Yu's birthday that should be her money, but even our girls' birthday, it's her sister-in-law Zhang Luo, the old lady and the ladies just have to drink and watch the show! "

Sister Feng replied, "", it's nothing, I can still afford the money I have, but I will also pay for Xichun's sister-in-law." She glanced at You Shi, "I'll just look for it later. You settle the bill!"

You Shi retorted: "I will be the one who welcomes the spring, and I won't take advantage of you!

Gan Shi Tan Chun smiled and said, "Seeing that both the second and fourth sisters were invited, but I didn't?"

Li Wan looked at her, "They don't care for you, my sister-in-law cares for you, let's compare them all, only Xiangyun is left, she doesn't care about them at all, she punched under the table with Baoyu, and the old drinking lady who lost laughed laughed. : "I'm the one who invited Yun girl!"

When Xiang Yun heard her name being called, he raised his head just now with a dazed look that made people feel stunned. At this moment, the maid outside shouted: "Second Master Lian is here!"

Sanchun and Xiangyun hurriedly stood up to greet them.

Jia Lian came in and saw the old lady Mrs. Wang and her two elder sisters, Sister Feng, with a smile: "There is a big banquet in the manor of the elder brother, why are you back?"

Jia Lian replied: "I know that there is still noodles at home (Is the king good), so come here and you can also give me a stool to sit on. It's a good account!"

The girls hurriedly brought chairs.

The old lady said: "The people who travel there are all the relatives of our family, and the family can't ignore it, we have to live."

Jia Lian cupped his hands and said: "The old lady said that the grandson and eldest brother Zhen have been arranged properly, and those who are still in the East House are old friends who often come and go, and eldest brother Zhen will accompany him to watch the opera and listen to music, but it does not matter to the old lady. No words, called Baoyu: "You give your second brother a toast! Today is also a good day for him!"

Baoyu poured a glass of wine and came to Jia Lian, "Second brother! I wish you better progress!"

Jia Lian took the wine and drank it.

He also took a cup from the girl's hand and handed it to Baoyu. Today is your birthday, and the elder brother will not give you anything else.My teacher sent two books on the meaning of the scriptures, which are extremely precious, and I will pass them on to you.

I hope you can study hard and shine on the lintel. "

When Baoyu heard this, he suddenly lost his spirits.

Chapter [*] Xiaoyuan Qunfang held a night banquet, Xiangyun said with a smile: "Love brother, Bao brother has a headache when he hears reading, and you still slap him like this? Jia Lian was stunned, "Why do you love brother, second brother, you still chew like that? Tongue! Knowing you love your brother, I just happened to give you something fun!"

He took out a golden object from his arms, "I saw such an object on the gift burden just now, so I took it and gave it to Sister Yun!"

The Sanchun sisters all came to see, and Xiangyun held it in his hand, "It's so delicate! Thank you second brother!

Yingchun smiled and said, "This is a gold-encrusted gem and a jade fish basket Guanyin's heart, and it's something on a girl's hair."

"Just why does the second brother only give things to Sister Yun?" Xichun asked suspiciously.

Jia Lian smiled and said, "I didn't know it was from a girl. Since I gave Younger Sister Yun, tomorrow I will give you a face all by myself. Feng Ru said beside the old lady, "Look, even I don't treat me so highly. . "

The old lady smiled and said, "their little sisters say they are the young ladies of the Gonghou family, but they are actually only better than ordinary girls. If Lian'er cared more about them, you would not be happy?"

Feng Dao: "Old lady, what you said, I'm not happy, I mean that even the second master is very fond of his younger sisters, always remember, all kinds of things are exhausted, you don't know, the last time I visited the spring She wanted a small basket made of bamboo, but she didn't know what she liked, so Mr. Lian picked good-looking ones from the market 643, big, small, round and flat, and pulled a cart back to explore. I picked a few and put the rest in the kitchen as dishes."

Madam Wang said, "Brother Lian is very fond of his sisters, Baoyu, but is unhappy.

In the evening, Jia Lianfeng's small courtyard began to spruce up. She moved the couch inside, placed two square tables near the kang and made them together. She prepared snacks, sauce, meat and fresh fruit. A saucer, a barrel of wine, a dozen tall transparent glasses, and a dozen or twenty candles as thick as fingers lit the room as if it were daylight.

Sister Feng accompanied You Shi first.Afterwards, Jia and Xiangyun Sanchun played with lanterns, and each time they came to Jia, they said: "Second sister, third sister, fourth sister and Yun sister are sitting on the kang, leaning on soft pillows and brocade mattresses, which are both warm and comfortable."

Immediately, you and Jia were placed next to the edge of the kang, with the top chairs and a warm basin under their feet. Li Wan smiled and said, "It's this season, how about ordering this?"

Jia Lian explained: "It's cold at night, make do with it, I'd rather leave it when it's hot, it's my fault if I catch the wind and cold!"

"Who can be so squeamish?" You Shi pulled Sister Feng to sit on the chair, "You have a body, I will let you."

I picked a few girls next to me and sat down with the four girls of Ping'er, Jia (chdd)'s girl Suyun, You's girl Yindie, and the girls' little girls, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and arranged them in another room. a table.

Jia Lian looked around, "Why don't you see Ping'er?"

Sister Feng pursed her lips and smiled, "I'm sorry to call her."

Xiang Yun said, "If she doesn't come, won't we be short of scriptures here?"

Jia Lian was afraid that Ping'er would be ashamed and did not dare to come, so he smiled and said, "It's better to move a few stools underground and call Ping'er a few, even Suyun and Yindie are called, this will be lively!"

You said, "You don't pay attention to rules, so what else should we say?"

So Ling Ping'er came over and Li Wan pulled Ping'er to sit beside her, "Today is a good day for you, it's rare that you serve me on weekdays? That bad-tempered girl, I've been working hard to see, so I just drink it from my hand. A cup?"

Ping'er hurriedly answered, "Grandma, I can't do it!"

Sister Feng bit and said: "What makes it impossible? Grandma treats you as a human being, and doesn't drink anymore? Ping'er just drank it, "Thank you, Grandma!

Jia Lian frowned, "I'm most bothered by these red tapes. Everyone drinks and jokes together. What's the difference between masters and slaves? All sit down."

He pressed Yindie and Suyun on the round stool, also called Suermaner and Sitting on the pier, "I am the inspector of the imperial censor. If anyone dares to violate my order, they will be poured into the three seas before they speak!"

Sister Feng smiled at You and said, "Did you hear? We'll have no rules from now on. You can't show your elder sister-in-law's money later and bully us juniors."

You Shi smirked: "If you don't bully us, we will be Amitabha, how dare you bully you?"
