Jin Yuliangyuan of the Red Chamber

Baoyu was thinking that the voice was familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before, when a face of an acquaintance came into view.

Gu Junbai.The man playing the flute in the Slender West Lake on a rainy night.

When he saw Baoyu, he was also slightly taken aback, and then opened his mouth uncertainly: "Is it...Brother Ye?" Daiyu still had an impression of this person, and at this moment, she touched her forehead that was aching from the collision and shouted: "This Isn't it Mr. Gu?" Baoyu also laughed and said, "Brother Gu? It's a coincidence that we met here. How about you not come?" Gu Junbai smiled: "Tuofu, it's okay." Baoyu smiled and said: "People here How about we find a place to eat and chat?" Gu Junbai said yes with a smile.

It was almost noon at this time, the three of them found a restaurant, Baoyu ordered a few dishes, and made a pot of Nurhong hot, and they continued to chat.

Gu Junbai first said: "I haven't seen you since the last farewell, but brother Ye is back in the capital?" Baoyu said with a smile: "The last time I was ordered by the elders in the family to send my cousin home, so here I am. Stayed here for a few days, and then set off to go back." "I see." Gu Junbai smiled slightly, "But I'm afraid this is not my cousin?" He looked at Daiyu, "Isn't this the one from last time? Mademoiselle?"

Seeing that she was spotted, Baoyu was not embarrassed, so she just smiled and said, "Brother Gu has good eyesight. It's just because there are so many people, and she wants to come out to play, so she dresses up like this, which makes Brother Gu laugh."

"Where is there, brother Ye and this girl are both temperamental, and I am very envious, so I can't laugh." He arched his hands, showing a kind of noble demeanor in every move, pleasing to the eye, and Baoyu and Baoyu One black and one white, giving people two different feelings.If Baoyu is an aristocratic spirit that people dare not underestimate, then he is like the spring breeze in March, making people want to get close involuntarily.

After a few sentences, the food and drink had already been served, so Baoyu took care of bringing food to Daiyu, and then greeted Gu Junbai to eat and drink. The two gave up a few drinks, and there were many young literati around, discussing the imperial examination.

"I heard that the emperor will personally check the papers this time, but he is very strict!"

"And there are a lot of test questions, let's draw lots to decide! In this way, it will be difficult to cheat. Your Majesty is such a good idea!"

"Isn't it? It's all about luck. I have a classmate. He originally planned to give the examiners some money to pass by, but this time the examiners were all brought by the emperor from Beijing. They were all stern and selfless. This test question is optional again, but he is very angry. There is still no way, these days I am holding the book and gnawing madly!"

So everyone laughed.

After Baoyu listened with a smile, he raised his hand and poured a glass of wine for Gu Junbai, and said, "This time, the imperial court opened the Enke. I wonder if Brother Gu will participate? With Brother Gu's full of talent, it must not be difficult to win the toad palace, right? " Gu Junbai raised his glass in one hand and held it under the other, and put it down after Baoyu filled it up, and said with a smile: "What kind of talent is not talent, Gu is just a layman rolling in the world, since there is a chance, it's better Try it, it’s not in vain to go through this life in this world.”

Baoyu raised his glass with a smile, and Daiyu wanted to drink too, but he held down the cup: "Don't drink, be careful I won't carry you when you're drunk, drink tea, be good!" Daiyu pouted and reluctantly went Take the teapot and pour water.

Gu Junbai looked at them with a smile, and also raised his glass. The two touched each other, and drank it down with their necks raised.Baoyu put down his chopsticks and stretched out his chopsticks to eat the lion's head with crab noodles, while Gu Junbai played with the white porcelain wine glass in his hand, and said casually: "Don't just talk about me, it's Brother Ye, who came here from the capital at this time, it's also To participate in the scientific examination?"

Baoyu took a mouthful of the lion's head and hadn't swallowed it yet. He was startled when he heard the words, swallowed what was in his mouth and drank another glass of wine, then smiled and said: "Of course, there is nothing to hide, I am a layman just like Brother Gu. Seeing that Gu Junbai was still smiling, he said uncomfortably: "Why is Brother Gu looking at me like this?" He touched the corner of his mouth as he spoke, "Could it be that you got stained with something you ate just now?"

Gu Junbai smiled and said: "Don't worry, I'm just curious, how many secrets do you have?" Baoyu's heart skipped a beat, and he said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I only know Brother Gu's name, and everything else is the same. I don’t know!” Gu Junbai, who was turned into an army, neither remained silent nor just confessed, but just laughed, and took a big mouthful of boiled dried shredded rice.Baoyu didn't think about gaining anything at first, thinking that this was probably the temperament of a literati, who likes to cover up and half-confess?

Eating vegetables is the best thing to do.

How can you miss the delicious food when you come to Yangzhou?Of course, Baoyu himself is used to eating. Many chefs in his Tianxianglou are authentic Yangzhou people, so it is no problem to cook Yangzhou dishes. Of course, his employer is the most delicious.So he didn't have anything exciting to order today, not to mention there were only three people in total, and they only ordered a dozen dishes, a few noodles and a few staple dishes, and it was considered a table, which was more attractive.

Rao is like this, and there is a big table full of people.The drunken crab in Zhongbao is fragrant and non-fishy, ​​and the crab tastes delicious; the crab powder and lion's head are tender and fragrant, and melt in the mouth; , Vegetable pigeons are boned and then stuffed into wild ducks, steamed and served whole. The duck meat is fat and delicious, the wild duck meat is tight and fragrant, the pigeon meat is loose and tender, and the soup is fresh.

There are also mandarin fish with vinegar, bean sprouts and pheasant slices, and Wensi tofu soup.The noodles include crab roe buns, emerald siu mai, five ding buns, and thousand-layer oil cake. The staple food is naturally Yangzhou fried rice, which is fried with eggs, ham, shrimp, scallops, sea cucumber, winter bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms, and chicken breast. Some of these ingredients are suitable for women to eat In short, it is good, so Baoyu specially asked Daiyu to eat more after coming up.

Crabs are cold in nature, so Daiyu didn't dare to eat too much, so she just ate some of each.Baoyu didn't want Daiyu to drink at first, but he was afraid of hurting her spleen and stomach, so he ordered someone to serve a pot of warm rice wine, and Daiyu poured it out of a small wine glass and drank slowly.He and Gu Junbai ate and drank, and the 50-year-old daughter red was mellow, sweet and fresh, with endless aftertaste.

It took nearly an hour to eat a meal, and the three of them were a little bit unsatisfied. Daiyu also came out in a good mood, and actually ate an extra bowl of rice than usual.Although the bowl is small, but there are many dishes, one is enough to eat, so I feel a little full when I put down the chopsticks, and after drinking some wine, my face is flushed and cute.If it wasn't for the fact that the man didn't dress up, I'm afraid many sons and sisters would have come forward to hook him up.

After all, Baoyu didn't want Daiyu's naive appearance to be seen by outsiders, so he wanted to go back quickly.When paying the bill, Gu Junbai insisted on asking him to pay. "Brother Ye is here, of course I want to do my best as a landlord, how can I let the guests spend money?" When the second came up and reported that the meal cost 20 taels of silver, Gu Junbai was slightly embarrassed.

Baoyu immediately said: "Last time, I agreed that I would be the host when Brother Gu came to the capital. I have never had a chance. This time, I will let my younger brother come. Let's meet again after Brother Gu gets his name on the gold list in the next day. Do you think so?" I can’t take it out anymore!” While speaking, he rushed to pay the money.

Gu Junbai knew that he had good intentions, and that he was really short of money, and he didn't have enough money. He found a step for himself, and he was a little grateful in his heart. He cupped his hands and said, "Then I will accept your kindness as a brother." I'll treat you to a big meal later!" Baoyu said with a smile, "Then I'll just wait!"

When the three of them left the restaurant, Daiyu was slightly drunk, and was a little sobered by the wind outside. She was still thinking about the fire-breathing juggling, so she pulled Baoyu's sleeve and clamored to see her. Baoyu rarely saw her acting like a baby. Naturally, she was happy to coax her, so she said softly: "Okay, I will take you there in a while." After speaking, he smiled apologetically at Gu Junbai.

Gu Junbai smiled and said: "Brother Ye is really lucky to have such a beautiful woman by his side!" Baoyu smiled and said nothing, and he cupped his fists and said goodbye in a considerate way: "It is really a fate to meet you today, I live ten miles south of the city. Lane. Seeing that Miss Lin is a little drunk, go back quickly, and I will take my leave too." Baoyu nodded and said, "Brother Gu, go slowly, I'm sorry I will see you off not far away, and I will visit the house if I have a chance."

Baoyu watched him go away and disappear into the crowd, then supported Daiyu's arm and walked back.She was blushing, her eyes were moist and shiny, and she stuck to his arm and said softly: "Zi Ran, I want to see that, you take me there." Baoyu was afraid that she would fall, so he wanted to hug her , she had no choice but to hold his arm tightly, Baoyu couldn't bear to break free, so he had to hold her hand, clamped her arm, and coaxed: "Okay, I'll take you there, I remember I just met him over there." Right? Let's go now." He took her to the original direction.

Now almost two hours have passed since that time, Baoyu thought that those jugglers would have closed their stalls and moved to other places long ago, and he just told Daiyu that way to make Daiyu happy.As a result, after walking around a corner, I saw a group of people in front of me, bursting out from time to time with bursts of applause and applause, and the crisp sound of copper coins being smashed on the gong. When I got closer, it turned out to be those people, probably The people were too enthusiastic to disperse for a while.Baoyu was overjoyed, this was just right, even if there were no fire-breathing ones, Daiyu could still see other performances.

He held Daiyu in his arms, pushed to the front of the crowd, and saw two big men, performing a silver spear piercing the throat, the tip of the spear shining with silver light was on the throat of one of them, the body of the gun was already bent In an arc that was about to overlap, both of them blushed and continued to squeeze, and finally there was a "snap", the gun broke, and there were waves of applause from around, and a neatly dressed woman knocked on the gun. The gongs were shouting, and people kept throwing copper coins over.

This was the first time that Baoyu saw ancient juggling with his own eyes, and he was somewhat shocked, so he followed the crowd and threw a dozen of them.Daiyu's eyes were straightened, and she grabbed Baoyu's skirt and cheered continuously, which made Baoyu's heart itch, and she wanted to protect her clothes from being pulled away by her.

Next came a big stone on his chest. A man unbuttoned the clothes on his upper body, revealing his strong abdominal muscles. His chest hair was swarthy. Daiyu covered her eyes with an "ah" and was too ashamed to look again.When Baoyu saw her hiding in his arms like an ostrich, he was both funny and affectionate.He lowered his head to her ear, and said with a low laugh, "Yuan'er, don't be shy, I won't do anything. It's nothing, I allow you to see it. Look, the stone is put on it. If you want to smash it, don't you want to?" see?"

Daiyu was itchy by the hot air he exhaled when he spoke, and rubbed against his chest for a long time, but finally she couldn't match her curiosity, so she covered her eyes and opened a small gap to watch.Baoyu was so cute that she couldn't even watch the juggling, what an annoying little guy!

The other person held a big hammer, luckily raised it above his head, and yelled: "Da!" He smashed it down hard, and the lying person's lips were tightly closed and his eyes were wide open. A half-hand-thick stone slab shattered into one hundred and eighty yuan after a muffled sound. The man jumped up and patted the stone chips on his body, and saluted the people around him: "Thank you for joining us!" The applause was thunderous.

Daiyu was stunned, and even forgot to cover her eyes. Baoyu smiled and said, "Actually, I can do this too!" Daiyu turned her head, and he continued, "Didn't we practice internal strength? We just need to gather our true energy , this level of attack is nothing to worry about!"

Seeing the admiration in Daiyu's eyes, he was triumphant, and wanted to say that you can do it too, but after thinking about it again, Daiyu had a big stone on her body, and a big stone was broken on her chest... Oh my God!The picture is so beautiful that I dare not look at it!Or swallow this sentence back to your stomach.

After watching these two performances, Daiyu was also satisfied. Baoyu saw that she seemed to be a little drunk, so he coaxed her to go back to the house. root, a bead flower, a Zhu Bajie mask, and a pear paste candy.Baoyu, who was sweet and sweet, also liked it, so he bought a few more bags to take home.

After finally returning from the market, when he approached Lin's mansion, there were no people there, and Baoyu was finally able to speed up.Daiyu felt a little drowsy after finishing her snacks, so Baoyu had to support her - it's hard to hug her outside!

So after seeing the rows of Royal Forest Army, he was really relieved!
