Jin Yuliangyuan of the Red Chamber

"Has there been any movement over there recently?" Just when Shui Rong thought he had fallen asleep, he suddenly asked.Shui Rong was stunned for a moment before he understood, and hurriedly said: "Oh, according to the reports from the spies, they are very calm and there is no abnormality."

"Keep watching, and you must not relax for a while." Shui Hong said lightly, "I want to see who else is secretly supporting them." Shui Rong took the order.He said again: "You contributed a lot to what happened last time, I am going to make you a prince, and then take over the affairs of the Ministry of Household Affairs." Shui Rong knelt down to thank him, got up and asked, "Department of Household Affairs? So suddenly?"

"Can the place where money is managed be cleaned?" Speaking of this, he also had some headaches. "In recent years, the national treasury has been in a serious deficit. I asked you to go to shock those people. I'll write a booklet and submit it, let's think of a way."

Shui Rong nodded, "By the way, I have an appointment with Jia Baoyu and Jia Lian at Tianxiang Pavilion tonight, do you want to go?" Thinking of that post, he couldn't help laughing.Shui Hong thought for a while and said, "Evening? Well, I'm so sick of reviewing papers, I just went out to change my mood. Last night's Lantern Festival banquet was not interesting." It's all the same, it's just that it's more comfortable outside than in the palace. It's time to go and relax."

Here Baoyu came out of Jia Lian and went directly to Jia Mu's upper room.At that time, Jiamu just got up, because during the Lantern Festival a few days ago, although there was no big deal, she was quite busy after all. Jiamu was tired just going to the banquet and chatting with her sisters-in-law, so she inevitably slept a little longer.Baoyu was only wearing a blue cotton robe and a pair of sheepskin boots.Jia Mu was letting Yuanyang comb her hair. When she saw her, she asked, "Isn't it cold outside? Why don't you wear more?" Baoyu laughed and said, "It's only a few steps away, so it's not cold." Then she asked, "Lin Is my sister here?"

Jia Mu laughed and said, "Here we are. The girls are all here on the smoke cage outside. It's so strange today. Don't you know if she's here or not?" Baoyu laughed and said, "I'll go to Lian Er first when I get up early. Brother looked at my nephew and niece, and then came here directly." Jia Mu nodded and said: "So that's the case, I said why didn't you two come together today. Go over there and talk to them, I will comb Good luck, let's eat again." Baoyu agreed, turned and went outside.

After breakfast at Jiamu's place, Baodai and Baodai went back to the yard together.Daiyu asked, "What did you do this morning? I couldn't find you when I got up, and Mingyan wasn't there." Baoyu took out the post from his bosom and showed it to Daiyu. "Brother Lin? Are you talking about me?" Daiyu asked after reading.He nodded: "It should be. But I think he may have seen that you are a daughter, so you don't want to go tonight, and I will go with Brother Lian."

At night, Baoyu put on a white fox fur coat and went to look for Jia Lian first.Jia Lian was also ready, wearing a black robe and a mink cloak.He was taller than Baoyu, and the black made him taller and taller than Baoyu. Even if he was wrapped so thickly, he would not look clumsy.Baoyu is still young and relatively short, so the white color looks elegant and elegant, and she is also a gentleman.

The two went out to the corner gate, and it was inconvenient to ride a horse because of the cold weather, so Baoyu ordered Tiaoyun to prepare the carriage early in the morning and wait outside the gate.The two got into the car, picked up the clouds and drove towards Tianxiang Pavilion.

At this time, in an upper room of Tianxiang Pavilion, Shui Hong and Shui Rong were sitting opposite each other. They were all in modest clothes today, and they didn't bring a single servant with them.Shui Hong asked Shui Rong who was looking around: "Why not on the second floor, why do you have to come to the guest room? Isn't it good to talk while eating in the private room?" Shui Rong said with a smile: "I have seen the private room here before. But I haven't been here yet, let's take a look today!" Shui Hong shook his head helplessly, and began to size up.The whole room is elegantly furnished, and the colors are very mild, which makes people feel comfortable.There are two large foot stoves under the table, and above them are two small copper hand stoves with charcoal burning inside.

"It paid a big price." Shui Hong picked up one and said with a smile.The room was not cold. There was a brazier next to the bed, which made a sizzling burning sound, making the room warm.Not long after, I heard a voice outside the door saying: "This is the one, please." Then another clear voice said: "I see, you go and bring some food and drinks." "Here we come!" The people looked at each other, stood up, saw the door opened, and two people came in, one black and one white, both of them had extraordinary manners and dignified appearances.

Shui Rong smiled first and said, "Boss Ye, I asked you out abruptly today, you won't blame me, will you?" Baoyu cupped his hands and laughed, "How dare you! It's my honor to be summoned by the lord, how dare you blame me!" Jia Lian also went up He clasped his fists forward and said, "I'm Jia Lian, I've met the prince." Shui Rong helped him up with a smile, and said to the two of them with a smile, "Come on. Let me introduce you. This is my...uh, cousin."

"Cousin?" Jia Lian and Baoyu quickly reacted in their minds. Shui Rong's cousin is also named Shui So... Shui Hong has already laughed and said: "In Xia Shuihong, I often hear my cousin talking about you. You are really famous now. Why don't we meet!" The two were stunned for a moment and then they knelt down to salute, Shui Hong stretched out his hand to stop them: "You don't need to be too polite, I came out today in low clothes, so I don't need to meet you with the courtesy of a monarch and minister." The smile in his eyes was even bigger, "Say You can still be considered my half-brother-in-law!" He thought.

He had been observing them since they entered the door just now, and saw that the two of them behaved well and did not lose their composure in panic. Now that he has revealed his identity, he can still salute calmly. This kind of temperament is very comparable to others.Since he was a child, he was aloof and used to seeing people's flattery and flattery. Now he is naturally happy to see such an upright person who is neither humble nor overbearing.Shui Rong also smiled and said: "Yes, you just treat me as Yi Feng, as long as he is my cousin." The two got up.

After the four of them sat down, the food and drinks they just ordered were served.Baoyu held the pot and poured wine for everyone. Shui Hong raised his glass first and laughed, "I heard that you are full of praise from Ah Rong. I've always wanted to see you, and today I finally got what I wanted. Come, everyone, have a toast!" Drink down After a glass of wine, Baoyu said with a smile: "I don't know what I can do to make the prince look favorably on me? I am ashamed to accept it!" Shui Rong said with a smile: "Actually, it is mainly because I feel that I have hit it off, and besides, you are young. The fact that the shop is flourishing shows that you are capable! The many shops owned by Mr. Lian are also doing very well! Jianghuai, right?"

Jia Lian smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty is so well-informed, ashamed, ashamed!" Shui Hong said with a smile, "You two are too modest. We have no malicious intentions, but we are so speculative. Why don't we make friends?" Caomin, how dare you make friends with you? You really killed us!" Shui Rong said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, my brother is the most approachable and has no airs. It is fate that the four of us can get together today, so let's make friends. Why not a friend?" Shui Hong also nodded with a smile on the side, and the two of them no longer declined.

After drinking a few more glasses of wine, Shui Rong asked with a smile, "I don't know what to call him from now on? Since we are already brothers, it would be a little strange to call him Brother Jia." Baoyu laughed and said, "I'm still young, and I don't have a name yet. Why don't you just call me Baoyu." Jia Lian said, "Everyone in my family only calls me by my first name, but I don't have words, so let's call me Jianghuai." Shui Rong said with a smile, "In that case, I'll call you Ahuai, our age Almost, I don't take advantage of you, so you can call me A Rong, that's what Shaohan calls me." "Shaohan?" Baoyu asked suspiciously, looking at Shuihong.He smiled and nodded: "Yes, Shaohan is my word."

Several people passed their teeth in order, and drank a few more glasses. They talked happily during the dinner, and it was late at night before they knew it.Shui Hong said: "It's getting late today, I have to go back earlier." Shui Rong also said: "Yes, you have been out for so long, you should go back." The four got up.Baoyuyin asked, "It's too cold outside, why don't you go back in our carriage, and go faster." Shuihong nodded, and Shui Rong naturally had no objection.

Sitting in the warm and comfortable carriage, Shui Rong said with a smile: "You guys are really comfortable, this car runs so smoothly, and it's so warm inside." Jia Lian smiled and said: "Money is something outside of the body, but without money is absolutely impossible. We are all earning money from doing business honestly, so we should spend it on ideas and not waste it."

Shuihong nodded and said: "This idea is novel, but it makes sense. By the way, Ah Huai, do you have an official position now?" Jia Lian shook his head and said, "No, my father wanted to donate a fellow acquaintance to me a few years ago. , but I don’t think that I deserve the merits of the exams, so I declined, so now I’m just a commoner.” Shui Hong nodded secretly, and said: “This trend of donating officials should also be dealt with.” My mind turned sharply, and I already had a preliminary idea.

It was already late at this time, and there were fewer pedestrians on the street. When they were about to reach the gate of the palace, there was a sudden shaking of the car, and several people were caught off guard and were startled.Baoyu opened the curtain and shouted, "Tiaoyun, what's going on?" The shining sword rushed forward!

The author has something to say: I am guilty... The Internet in the dormitory has expired since Monday, and then I went to renew the fee on the same day. As a result, I have to wait for two to three days to have the Internet. Today, I still don’t have any. I’m so depressed. I’ve been thinking about it for a long time. I finally borrowed a classmate’s EDU to post a chapter. Forgive me...【揖】
