Jin Yuliangyuan of the Red Chamber

After the busy Mid-Autumn Festival passed, Baoyu gradually became busy again.

Now the negotiation mode has started. Regarding the business and political cooperation between Dazhou and other countries, the most important thing is to reach an agreement on the sale of war horses with Mongolian Turks.From the end of the Mid-Autumn Festival to the holy birthday of Shuihong on August 29, there is enough time to think about it.

Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Central Plains has been in constant war, and the border countries have also become turbulent. The Anxi Governor of the Turks and the Yanran Governor of the Mongols have continued to raise troops, and gradually occupied the Hexi Mobei area. But it is difficult to take it back.

Up to now, a large area of ​​Mongolia has been occupied by the Mongols. Countless tribes live on their own. In addition, the Mongols are brave and good at fighting.

Fortunately, there are too many Mongolian tribes, and local wars for territory often occur within them. With a little guidance and provocation, they can be overwhelmed by themselves, so it is not a problem for a while.

On the contrary, the Turks have always been a factor of instability. Tang Shi once sent troops to defeat them, and then temporarily succumbed to them for a while, and then immediately counterattacked when he saw the opportunity.

Now the superficial peace may not last long, let alone whether the other party is provocative or not, Shui Hong will definitely not be able to bear such a dissatisfaction.Baoyu is not in a hurry, he must have plans.

Not long after, Jia Lian's long-lost letter came. Along with the letter, in addition to the things for Baoyu Shuirong, there was also a birthday present for Shuihong—a very large car wrapped in thick green cloth. blindfolded.

This group of people arrived at the villa in the evening, and Baoyu hadn't come back yet, so it was a matter arranged by Daiyu.

"...Didn't you say that the second elder brother Lian also has Zhuangzi nearby?" She was sitting on the heated kang in the house, and below was Yinquan Qingwen, who accompanied He and others, and Mingyan went out with Baoyu, "You take After all the things are packed, ask them if they want to go over there to have a look, if you need anything, just watch and prepare, probably all the people who come are acquaintances."

Mingyan and the others bowed their heads in agreement, then hurried down, Jia Lian's letter had already been submitted.

She was right. The people Jia Lian sent here are all his old subordinates. They all know Baoyu and Daiyu, and they are also very familiar with Mingyan. It is much more convenient to do things this way. Everyone is talking and laughing , it didn't take long to arrange it.

When Baoyu came back with the moonlight, he saw her smiling and beckoning him to come over. Seeing that she was in a good mood, he followed the good advice and was not in a hurry to change clothes. He heard her laugh and said, "In the afternoon, the second brother Lian sent a letter. He said that Sister Feng is pregnant again! And the marriage of the second sister has also been settled!"

"Oh?" He was really happy when he heard it, took a look at the letter, and sure enough, it said that Sister Feng was diagnosed with pregnancy again a few days ago, and it has been more than three months now.

"Second brother must be very happy!" Jia Heng and sister Qiao are not young anymore, and they haven't been pregnant for so many years. He thought they were going to have two children!

Then there is Yingchun, this "older" leftover woman finally made a marriage contract under Jia Lianfeng's unremitting efforts. The man is Liu Ling, the son of Liu Zhengtang, the general director of Yanfa Road in Yangzhou. Liu Zhengtang works under Jia Lian. After more than half a year of observation, he felt that the old man was quite upright and good at handling affairs. The most important thing was that he could keep their family in check.

After inquiring and investigating, he found that the Liu family had a good family style. Although the old man had two concubines, they both gave birth to daughters. Only his wife gave birth to him a son and a daughter. The family relationship was not complicated.

Liu Ling himself is 21 years old. He failed the imperial examination last year, but he is still a tribute student. Although he is the only child in the family, Liu Zhengtang is quite strict with him, and Liu's mother is also very sensible, so he has not grown up.

From Jia Lian's point of view, although the Liu family is poor, they are still relatively well-off. As long as people are willing to make progress, they will have a good day.

Both parties were still satisfied after meeting each other, Yingchun put aside his too soft temperament, but in terms of appearance, he was pretty good, so they exchanged Geng posts logically and set a date for their marriage, because the two are not young, so There is no delay, just after the beginning of spring next year, in mid-April.

Baoyu looked at it and sighed: "Second Brother Lian is really worried about Second Sister!"

Daiyu also nodded and said: "I only hope that the second sister can stand up by herself, and don't disappoint their hard work."

She subconsciously didn't think about whether Liu Ling would take a concubine in the future, and what she would think if she took Yingchun. After all, even if Jia Lian wanted to protect her sister, she wouldn't want to interfere too much in other people's housework. A married daughter is like a concubine. The water that went out, let alone my sister.

She looked at Baoyu under the lamp, remembering what he had said about her being the only one in this life, and she was lost in thought.

After hearing what she said, he nodded in agreement, and then found that she was distracted, and stretched out his hand to shake in front of her eyes: "What are you thinking? So absorbed."

She was in a daze, and it took a while to realize that when she was confused, he laughed happily and raised his hand to rub her hair - he liked this kind of action very much, as if he was teasing a small animal , every time he sees her face flushed by his rubbing, she is very happy.

"Silly girl!" He chuckled, put the thick letter on the table at hand, and carried her up and down a few times without any effort, "Don't worry, you will definitely not let the second brother Lian around. The second sister was wronged!"

He thought she was worried about Yingchun, so he leaned close to her face and smiled evilly, "Or, do you envy that second sister will get married next year? Huh?"

She was unprepared, and instinctively grabbed his neck as soon as he hugged her, and then she spun around, making her dizzy, and suddenly heard him teasing her like this, she was stunned for a while, and suddenly said seriously: "Yes, I do envy her a little."

what will you doI say so.

He seemed to be frightened by her too, probably because he didn't expect her to speak out her inner thoughts so boldly, but he was only stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled more cheerfully, "Really?"

He pressed against her forehead and looked into her black grape-like pupils, "Then, your wish will come true soon! Don't be envious of others."

What... what do you mean?She stared blankly at him in his arms, staring at innocent and dazed water eyes, like a little bit waiting to be fed, he couldn't help but nibbled her pink and tender face, she was agitated, just Jumped out of his arms, straightened his clothes, wiped his face, looking like a bullied little daughter-in-law.

The two of them have slept in the same bed for so long, such a simple intimacy can still make her shy for a long time.

He squinted his peach blossom eyes at her, licked his lips contentedly, and felt his ears burn even more when he met her eyes.

"Okay, it's getting late, I'm going to take a shower, let's get ready for dinner!" He patted the top of her head, smiled like a flower and walked towards the back bath.

Leaving her tall and straight figure watching him leave, feeling the heat at the base of her ear and the lingering feeling from his bite just now, she suddenly burst into a very happy smile

——She is willing to believe that he is sincere, unlike other people who are randomly appointed by elders and then get married in a hurry without any emotional foundation. It's his love for her, it's the accumulation of their feelings.

Thinking of this, she felt that her heart was going to melt, and it was full, as if it was going to explode in the next moment.

After he finished soaking in the hot spring pool, he saw that she had already arranged dinner and was sitting on the kang waiting for him to come out, so he burst into a smile for a long time.

He actually felt that she was in a strange mood just now——of course, with the idiot mind of his first love in three or forty years, he never imagined that what she was struggling with just now was whether he would have three wives and four concubines in the future. , If you know, you will be dumbfounded.

He is not born to say sweet words, but only to prove it with practical actions.

Seeing that her expression had returned to normal now, she was also relieved and sat down to eat together.

Yesterday, people from the farm came to bring a lot of supplies, so tonight the dining room served tender veal, sliced ​​into palm-sized slices, pink and tender, and the next plate was put into the pot, and soon changed color.The tumbling bone soup exudes a strong sour taste, and the red chili oil floats on the surface, making people want to eat.

It was rare for Daiyu to eat such spicy food, and she was probably a little bit greedy today. At this time, she was so hot that her eyes were red, but she still kept chopsticks, scooping soup and meat into the rice bowl, and was eating the second bowl.Baoyu also liked this taste very much. After killing three bowls of rice like a storm, he didn't dare to eat more, but it was not enough, so he filled another bowl of soup and let it dry slowly, drinking in small sips.

Attracted by the aroma, Dian Momo squatted obediently on the ground, wagging his two little tails fawningly. Seeing this, he took two slices of spicy beef with his chopsticks and fed them maliciously.

After the two little guys ate it, they stretched out their tongues and gasped for breath. They ran to the basin to lick the water to feel better. Then they came to the bad master and felt wronged with their four watery eyes. accuse him, he laughed happily on it.

She looked at his childish behavior helplessly, and touched the heads of the two for comfort.

When it's time for them to change their teeth, they always like to bite on hard things. Besides the dining room, there are many kinds of bones, such as beef bones and sheep bones, so the leftovers are boiled and washed for them to grind their teeth.

After being comforted by the hostess, they ran to the side and staged a daily battle for molar bones.He obviously has a lot of bones, but he still likes to rob each other, really...

But this also brought a lot of fun to Baoyu and Daiyu!They often tease the two to fight, which is fun!

Or Diandian is lying on Momo's head, with its two front paws resting on its back, while Momo is struggling to push Diandian away with his head, and stretching out his paws to try to pull Diandian down, and finally the two dogs They all rolled on the ground, revealing their round and fluffy belly, every time Daiyu wanted to go up and poke it, it was so cute and swollen!

Or they are biting each other, of course they are still small baby teeth now, and they are not really angry, just playing around, so they just shake their heads and use their hands and feet, and finally make themselves in a hurry.

Qingwen Mingyan and other servants who come and go are often amused by these two live treasures.

Both of them ate to their heart's content. Seeing that it was already dark and it was after eight o'clock, they each got up to digest.Baoyu read Jia Lian's letter and wrote a reply, while Daiyu paced the ground reading a book.

The four corners of the room and the places on the sides that do not interfere with daily activities are tall copper standing lamps. Below is a lady holding it with both hands. There is a large space on the top for candles. Now the inside is full of half lamps Mi Duo has a red candle as thick as three fingers, and the lampshade is made of transparent glass. There are also candles on both sides of the bed, beside the couch, and on the desk, so the room is not dark at all.

"What are you looking at?" He suddenly spoke behind her, startled her, covered his heart, turned around and said angrily, "When did you come? You scared me to death!"

"It's because you read it too intently, okay?" He smiled lightly, and took the book from her hand, ""Nanjing"? Medical books. Are you interested in these?"

The author has something to say: People who have to get up early tomorrow morning to go to the experimental class are really hard...
