Ningguo Mansion
The night is quiet and the moon is bright. The little beast squatting on the ridge of the eaves is looking up at the moon with a peaceful expression. The red lanterns are gently swaying with the wind under the eaves of the corridor. The plum trees in the courtyard also seem to be joking, making rustling sounds.
As the fifteenth day of the first lunar month approaches, the bright moon will become rounder, illuminating the earth, and the colorful embroidered curtains hanging between the beams and pillars will show the noise and joy of the Lantern Festival.
Riding on the moonlight, Jia Heng returned to the mansion, opened the curtain, and entered the inner hall, which was as bright as day, where the eyes were embroidered with brilliant colors.
Qin Keqing was sitting with Second Sister You and Third Sister You. The three of them used to be gorgeous and beautiful, but now they are together, they are even more aggressive.
Qin Keqing wears a peach red woven gold collar with a pink background, a gold woven satin-faced bodice with floral patterns, and a peach red horse-face skirt underneath.
Second Sister You wears a pink silk jacket with a cross-collared collar trimmed with light pink folded branch plum blossom embroidery on a white background, and a long pink skirt underneath, which is soft and quiet.
Third Sister You wore a long jacket with embroidered cross-collared light yellow twigs and flowers on a lavender background, and a long peach red skirt, which was gorgeous and bright.
At this moment, the three of them stood up from the embroidered pier almost at the same time, their eyes were either worried, shy, or eager.
"Husband, are you back?" Qin Keqing got up gracefully from the Arhat bed, her face as bright as a peach blossom became more and more charming.
Jia Heng nodded, and then, a servant girl handed over the copper basin and washed her hands.
Qin Keqing took the towel on the side, handed it to Jia Heng, and said softly: "Just now Qingwen told me that Baoyu in the West Mansion has caused trouble again, and the trouble is too terrible."
Jia Heng glanced at Qingwen, who was standing side by side with Xiangling, and said, "There were two fights, and the second master fought once, so nothing serious happened."
As he said that, his eyes were surprised, and he looked at the arrogant little loli next to the curtain, and asked with a chuckle, "Well, the fourth sister is also there."
But Xichun was standing not far away with a curtain, petite, wearing a pink jacket and skirt, with a small bun, and a concerned look on her pink face.
"Brother Heng, haven't you eaten yet?" Seeing that warm smile, Xi Chun felt happy.
Jia Heng smiled and said: "It's really useless, have you eaten yet?"
Xu Shi stared a little more, Xichun was a little bit shy, shook her head lightly, and said softly: "I wasn't very hungry before, so I talked with my sister-in-law."
Listening to the conversation between the two brothers and sisters, Qin Keqing looked at Baozhu at the side, and ordered: "Let the kitchen prepare the dishes and bring them up. Let's use some together."
Jia Heng sat down, turned to look at Qin Keqing, Second Sister You and Third Sister You, and said with a smile: "Why don't you eat first, don't wait for me."
Qin Keqing smiled sweetly and said: "I heard that there is a lot of commotion in the West Mansion. We are here to inquire about the news and have refreshments, but we are not hungry. During the conversation, we have waited until this time."
Listening to the conversation between the two, Xichun pursed her pink lips slightly, her pale face was a little bit baby fat, seeing a bit of tranquility, she twisted her hands hidden in her sleeves, but she didn't know what to think What.
In fact, in the original book, Xichun's attitude towards the East Mansion is quite alienated because of the coolness of Jia Zhen and Jia Rong's father and son. Instead, he is somewhat close to the West Mansion. When copying and inspecting the Grand View Garden, he said a lot of things that are notorious for the East Mansion. .
Jia Heng pondered and said: "What's not a big deal? Speaking of which, Baoyu is very stubborn, and it's not just a day or two. It's just that the older the two years, the temperament of the floating waves, the more troublesome it is. You can be said to be a child when you were young, but after you are more than ten years old, you are still like this..."
As he said that, he glanced at the few people who were listening intently, and laughed a little in his heart, so he stopped talking.
These things in the West Mansion, these women in the house, don't think there is much overflowing sympathy, more of a gossip mentality, after all, the joys and sorrows of human beings are not interlinked.
Third Sister You said: "When I was at home, I heard the elder sister say that the second master Bao, who was born with jade, liked to eat rouge on women's lips since he was a child. But he escaped alone, really..."
Third Sister You has always been fond of chivalrous and upright temperament. After listening to Qingwen's narration, one can imagine her impression of Baoyu.
Qingwen said in a charming voice: "My son was not wrong before, and he was almost irresponsible."
I thought that if she hadn't been with the son before, she might have been sent by the old lady to Baoyu to serve her, and she didn't know what was going on now.
Second Sister You said softly: "It was also pampered and spoiled since childhood, and I have experienced few things."
Qin Keqing's beautiful eyes were as bright as water, she turned to Jia Heng, and said, "What is the husband going to do with it?"
Jia Heng said: "When he recovers from his injuries, he will kneel in the ancestral hall first, and then go to school to study."
Qin Keqing thought for a while, then said softly: "It's a way, big sister should also be happy to see it?"
Thinking of Yuan Chun, the girl with gentle eyebrows and eyes appeared in Jia Heng's mind, nodded and said: "Big sister is still reasonable."
Different from Jiamu and Mrs. Wang's arrogance towards Baoyu, Yuanchun has always attached great importance to Baoyu's education, and really wants Baoyu to lead him on the right path.
However, Yuan Chun's temperament is actually a little soft.
At this moment, the back kitchen also prepared the food, and everyone gathered around for dinner.
Jia Heng said: "Okay, let's not talk about it anymore, there is nothing interesting about it, let's eat first."
Everyone picked up chopsticks and spoons and started to eat.
Compared with the chaos and noise of Rongqingtang, this place is surrounded by a warm and peaceful atmosphere.
Rikain
The night was dark and the candles were flickering. Inside the room, it was as bright as day, and there were a few figures projected on the screen.
Aunt Xue is drinking tea with Baochai and Xue Pan.
After Jia Heng left, Aunt Xue and Baochai had no intention of staying longer, so they left Jiamu's courtyard and returned to Lixiangyuan, where they finished their meals and talked together.
Xue Pan was holding the tea, pacing lightly back and forth, not sitting, but standing.
After 20 days of recuperation, a scar has formed on the buttocks, and it has initially healed, but it is not enough to sit on the stool.
Looking at Aunt Xue, with a smug expression of "I got what I said" on her face, she smiled and said, "Mom, what do I say? I don't know what kind of Baoyu he is? When he was caught right away, Jin Chuan'er jumped into the well and almost killed him, but his uncle was so angry that he beat him dozens of times. The actor, really..."
Aunt Xue rolled her eyes at Xue Pan angrily, and said angrily, "Stop saying a few words."
But Xue Pan smiled and paced back and forth, saying, "Mom, I've seen a lot of people like Baoyu, so I've read a few more books than me and can say some flattering things. I heard cousin Heng said that he He is ruthless and unrighteous, I think it is the same, I think that Jin Chuaner, if I am, I must come back, and that Qi Guaner, I also know him, how can he betray his whereabouts?"
In the end, it's better than bad than good.
With the passage of time, the scenes that happened in Rongqing Hall before and after have spread to Xue Pan's ears.
Aunt Xue warned: "You can't manage your own affairs well, and you still worry about other people's affairs. Let me tell you, the old lady and your aunt are bothering you. If you come here, don't be silly and make people feel bad." .”
For Baoyu, there is no doubt in my heart.
But in the entire family, is there a more suitable candidate than Baoyu?
Xue Pan laughed and said, "Let's just talk about it in private, how can we go around shouting."
At this moment Xue Pan, however, forgot that he had yelled about "Jia Lian stealing his mother" before, and even got rid of Jia Heng.
As Xue Pan spoke, he glanced at Baochai who was sitting beside him, and said with a smile, "Anyway, my sister's appearance..."
Baochai condensed her beautiful eyebrows, her snowy and jade face was gradually covered with frost, and she put the teacup in her slender hands on the tea table beside her, as if she was about to leave.
Seeing this, Xue Pan laughed and said, "Okay, sister, I won't say those nonsense anymore, mom, you and sister, just think about it slowly."
As he said that, holding the teacup, he subconsciously wanted to sit on the stool, and there was a "hiss", almost bouncing like an electric shock, obviously touching the scar.
Seeing this, Aunt Xue became anxious, and she didn't care about getting angry with Xue Pan, she quickly got up and looked at her son with concern, both distressed and helpless, and said: "Be careful, you are still worrying about other people. What about it? I don’t know when Brother Heng will take you to the Wucheng Bingma Division.”
Hearing this, Xue Pan also had a look of distress on his big face. He shook his head and said, "Just go! What else can I do?"
Aunt Xue frowned, and said in a low voice: "Wait tomorrow, I want to ask him to be a host again, and see if you can get out of the first month of your business, and then take you away, 21 is still your sister's birth Woolen cloth."
Xue Pan's copper-bell-sized eyes were gloomy, and he sighed, "Then tell Cousin Heng to see if he should follow."
He also didn't want to go to the Five Cities Bingma Division, because it was not as interesting as listening to music in Goulan on weekdays, but what could he do?
Baochai listened to the conversation between the two, her mind moved slightly, and she saw a look of loss on her shiny face.
Since I ran into her that day in the Shao'er courtyard, I haven't seen her for many days, and that person doesn't seem to be looking for her very much.
Maybe I'm too busy.
I don't know if I still remember my own child...
Aunt Xue said: "Tomorrow, I'll go to the post to see if Brother Heng is free. You have to make an appointment in advance."
He didn't mention the three members of the Xue family's plan, but said that Yuanchun finished dinner, took a look at Baoyu who was sleeping deeply, and then returned to the courtyard where he lived. The spring breeze was blowing slightly, and the moonlight was like silver.
The beauty is wearing a light yellow jacket and skirt, and Chunshan's eyebrows are full of sadness and depression.
Because he and Tanchun lived in a small courtyard, seeing that the lights in Tanchun's room were still on, Yuanchun's face paused for a moment, and after thinking about it, he picked up the curtain and entered the room.
Tanchun sat behind the desk, holding a tube of brush pen, writing banners, with a concentrated expression.
The girl's arms were gently rolled up, revealing a frosty wrist, as white as a lotus root, the orange candlelight shone along her forehead, which was as clean as jade, and shone on her face, adding a bit of softness.
Under the beautiful sculpted eyebrows, because of the light from the candlelight, the curved eyelashes separated the shadow and the bright light, making the crystal clear eyes a bit darker.
There are already some literary essences, and the charm of forgetting the vulgar is seen.
The maid on the side is serving the book, not only serving the pen and ink, but also watching Tanchun's writing attentively.
At this time, upon hearing Cui Mo's call, Tan Chun raised a beautiful and bright face, looked at the person who came, and said in a clear voice like a flying spring with a bit of joy: "Big sister."
"What did the third sister write?" Yuan Chun looked at the heroic and radiant girl, and suddenly felt his melancholy go away. He stepped forward, looked sideways at the banner on the desk, his eyes lit up, and praised: "My sister's words It’s becoming more powerful.”
Tanchun smiled lightly and said: "After eating, if there is nothing else to do for a while, I just write and write. I have the right to calm down and meditate. The eldest sister just came from the second brother, right? Is the second brother okay?"
The smile on Yuan Chun's face faded a bit, he nodded his head, and said softly, "I've fallen asleep."
Tan Chunqing knew that her elder sister was very worried, so she thought about it and said softly, "Eldest sister, go and sit over there."
As she said, she took Yuan Chun's plain hand and sat down on the bed raised by the vermilion curtain. The two sisters, one from the concubine and the other from the concubine, one with a gentle and dignified temperament, the other with a bright and heroic temperament, sitting together, it was quite Kind of complementary.
Yuan Chun looked at Tan Chun, and said softly, "Sister, let's talk about ourselves."
Tanchun said softly, "Sister, tell me."
I can understand the mood of my eldest sister.
Yuan Chun pursed her cherry lips and said softly, "Third Sister, can you tell me about him?"
"Who?" Tan Chun was puzzled for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Brother Heng?"
Yuan Chun let out a "hmm", and for some reason, a sense of shame suddenly surged in her heart. She also wanted to hear what her sister thought of him on a whim.
Tanchun thought for a while, but he didn't suspect anything else, his bright eyes gleamed, as if he was pondering over his words, he said, "Brother Heng is fine, at that time Brother Heng hadn't arrived at Ningguo Mansion yet, because of Mrs. When he was called to Rongqingtang, he had a dunfang temperament at the beginning, speaking, he has always had a temperament that would rather bend than bend, and it hasn't changed now."
Said, looked at Yuan Chun, and said in a low voice: "Eldest sister has only been out of the palace for a short time, maybe she has less experience with Brother Heng, and I don't know him well yet."
"Well, I understand it." Yuan Chun said softly, for some reason, all kinds of things in the dream seemed to emerge in the lake of his heart, he quickly calmed down, and said quietly: "I'm so embarrassed today."
Thinking about it, I don't know what Brother Heng should think of her.
Tanchun said: "If elder sister is worried about elder brother Heng, because of Baoyu's matter, she will have a grudge against elder sister, but you don't have to think so. Brother Heng has an upright temperament, and he is also a bodhisattva who uses thunder methods. How can he put these things aside? On my mind? That's why I didn't persuade you just now, besides, the second elder brother's disturbance this time is really a little out of character."
Yuan Chun sighed: "Baoyu is outrageous, I never thought how he...he disciplined him rightly in the past few years, I just..."
Just now, facing Prince Zhongshun's mansion, she has already seen the man's good intentions in teaching Baoyu.
It's just that she didn't see it at first, it's better for the third sister to see it thoroughly.
At this moment, the girl's heart inevitably felt guilty and worried about gain and loss.
Tan Chunying's bright eyes under her black eyebrows flickered, looked at Yuan Chun who was sad, and said with relief: "If big sister feels sorry, you can talk to brother Heng, just let it go, brother Heng understands big sister's feelings." The difficulty should not be blamed on the eldest sister."
She felt that it was undoubtedly unnecessary for her elder sister to worry, and of course it was good to talk about it.
Yuan Chun Yurong lost his mind, pursed his cherry lips, and said, "I'll talk about it."
She didn't know what happened, but when she thought about it afterwards, she was restless and couldn't hold herself back.
At the same time, in Daiyu's courtyard, the master and servant were also talking in private.
Today's incident is so big, the juniors in Rongqing Hall are all spectators, it's hard to say anything else, but it's impossible not to talk small things when you go back to your room in private.
Zijuan brought a cup of tea, looked at Daiyu who was sitting in front of the desk, holding a book and concentrating on reading, and persuaded: "Girl, the light is dark at night, and it hurts your eyes carefully."
Hearing this, Daiyu put down the book in her hand, looked at the bright moonlight coming through the window, frowned slightly, with thoughts on her face, and said in a low voice: "Zicuckoo, what do you think of Second Brother Bao... "
Said, sighed lightly.
While taking Daiyu's book on the table, Zijuan persuaded her, "Girl, Er Ye has always been like this since he was a child. What he does is only for the sake of pleasure for a while, and he doesn't think about others. The girl is also considered to be with him." When I grow up, what do I not understand? The girl forgot. When I was young, when I first came to the house, the second master threw jade at the first day when he saw the girl. Why did he think about the girl? These years, it’s not every three days. Little trouble, big trouble for five days, how many tears did the girl shed because of it?"
When Daiyu heard the words, she was dazed for a while with a beautiful and beautiful face, but she also recalled all the past, savoring Zijuan's words, she pursed her lips for a while and remained silent.
Zijuan sighed softly: "Whether it's the girl or the second master, they have grown up, not when they were young."
Daiyu raised her eyes to look at the gentle moonlight outside the window, she was silent for a while, and said softly: "Yes, it's not when I was a child."
