Jin Yuliangyuan of the Red Chamber

"Are you the No. [-] guy who hasn't even grown hair yet?"

The visitor asked unceremoniously, Baoyu looked depressed, and really regretted swallowing that sip of tea just now, or else I really wanted to spray him in the face!Is there anyone who says that?

"My lord, may I ask how much hair you have longer than mine?" Baoyu smiled. He hadn't seen him before, where did he come from now?

He stretched out his hand and stroked the hair beside his ear, and said, "Secretly, I thought that there is no difference in hair between me and adults. Oh! By the way, the only difference is that I am still young and I don't have a beard! "After speaking, he smiled softly.

Doesn't that mean he's old?The man had two mustaches around his lips, and his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Jia Lian shook his head and smiled secretly in his heart: Baoyu's mouth is really unforgiving.Gu An also thought about it but didn't realize that Baoyu was still a disgraceful person.

Shui Rong, who was sitting on the side, twitched his shoulders from laughing, and finally laughed out. He clenched his left hand to cover his lips, pointed at the man with his right hand and smiled, "Wenfu, are you deflated? You deserve it! Who told you to talk cheap first?"

The other three were all taken aback: Did the co-authors know each other?The relationship seems to be pretty good...

Shui Rong smiled enough before he said again: "Where did you go just now? Why didn't you see you?" The adult looked a little better, and said, "It's convenient to go out, so I came back." Shui Rong nodded, and said to the three of them: "Let me introduce. This is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials I just mentioned, and also my friend, Yun Teng."

"Ah?!" Baoyu's eyes widened.This... just hurt people a few words when they came up, will they avenge their personal revenge publicly in the future?Facts have proved that he is still very magnanimous (no! Obviously he laughed at me first! Baoyu refused to accept it!), and Jia Lian Gu An Baoyu met one by one.

Shui Rong laughed first and said, "Don't mind Baoyu, he has such a temperament."

Baoyu smiled generously: "It's nothing, Mr. Yun is also joking, I know."

"Who's joking with you? You brat." Yun Teng said again with a venomous tongue.

"You!" Baoyu raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm seventeen when I turn over the new year, how young! You are, an old man!"

Emma!Get excited and forget!

Yun Teng raised his eyebrows, and was about to continue teasing him, when Shui Rong stopped him and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, stop teasing him, the emperor will be here in a while, let's wait." Yun Teng just gave up.

This man doesn't look old, but the mustache makes him look a bit older, and Baoyu doesn't mean that he hates him, but thinks it's interesting to argue with him.

A few people were sitting there drinking tea and gossiping, but after a few words, Yun Teng's face towards Baoyu became better, and he stopped being harsh in every sentence - in fact, he was just trying him, if he jumped up in a hurry at the beginning If you start to yell, there is nothing you can do, but Baoyu fought back beautifully, and he is quite satisfied.

Baoyu was thinking, no wonder this man can solve so many unjust cases, with such a straight face and such a vicious tongue, how many people can bear it?Probably only water soluble?

In a harmonious atmosphere, Shui Hong came in wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, and beside him was the old prince Shui Qi.It was nearly noon, and the queen held a banquet in the harem with a group of concubines and female relatives from various prefectures, and the bustle and bustle began.

Shui Hong first said a few words of blessing and encouragement, to the effect that the past year was very smooth, and he hoped that everyone will continue to work hard in the new year to make the world more prosperous, and then announced the opening of the banquet.

Shuihong has tables and tables on the top, and the spacious hall below is also lined with tables and chairs like an assembly line. The eunuchs come and go to serve food and wine.

On both sides of Shuihong are Shui Rong and Shui Qi, below are the various princes, and after that are the princely gates of the palace, and then the ministers of the court.Gu An Bao Yu Jia Lian's seat was slightly behind Shui Rong's side, which was considered a favor.

After drinking for three rounds, Shui Hong first raised his glass to thank the old prince for coming, and then expressed his deep concern for the old prince's health.Shui Qi also thanked the Lord Long En very kindly, thanked the emperor for caring, the old bones are fine.The elders of the two are kind and filial, and the courtiers below all shout long live benevolence, a scene of harmony and happiness.

Then he picked out Baoyu Jialian, Gu An and other Enke's top ten candidates, greatly praised their talents and knowledge and their satisfaction with this imperial examination, and then let them go down to pour wine for the princes and ministers...

Well, everyone is better than me now... Baoyu is a bit embarrassing, but I still have to do it!In the process of pouring wine, I had a second contact with the adults, which can be considered to have made some friendships and gained some good impressions, so that it will be easier to mix in the future.

The noon feast passed smoothly, and when Baoyu was eating, he just thought that this was too unpalatable, the water was sloppy and tasteless, it was not as good as the beef soup he drank this morning!I had no choice but to fill up some snacks and drink some hot tea to satisfy my hunger.Boys in the [-]th and [-]th years are just growing up, so is this enough to eat?

After withdrawing from the seats, the show started.At this time, there are no decent entertainment activities, opera is the same, and then it is punching and throwing dice.Baoyu sat below, listening to the babbling and babbling singing on the stage, which made him drowsy, and there were a lot of applause from the princes who gambled in his ears.

Half of the scene passed, and then he woke up hungry.

Look at Jia Lian and Gu An, one is also dozing off, the other is listening intoxicated, and then look at Shui Rong, he is pulling Yun Teng and others to shake the dice cup!Shui Hong left without knowing when, and Shui Qi also disappeared.

He was helpless, no one could count on him.

After sitting patiently for a while, the more he sat, the hungrier he became. Finally, he couldn't take it anymore. Seeing that no one seemed to notice, he sneaked out of the hall to see if he could call someone.

The sun was sinking outside, it turned out to be around four o'clock in the afternoon, the sky was slightly dark, and the wind became stronger.Baoyu took off his cloak before entering the hall, and Mingyan carried him to another place, but now there is no one there.But he has internal strength, so he is not afraid of the cold.

He stood on the road at the entrance of the hall for a while, just as Mingyan rushed over.Seeing Baoyu rushing up to greet him, he said anxiously, "Second Master, why did you come out? It's such a cold day, I thought of it and brought you a cloak."

He put the sable fur cloak on Baoyu, and he heard him ask, "Where did you come from?" Mingyan laughed and said, "That's where we went last time. That father-in-law is fine. There is food, drink and warmth over there."

As soon as Baoyu heard that he had eaten and drank, he felt his stomach was even more empty. It seemed that he couldn't catch anyone, and it was hard to escape, so he had to go back.

The play was still singing, and everyone was still the same as before. Baoyu sighed, walked inside, and went to the inner room on the west side. The little eunuch guarding the hall noticed it and followed him in.

He knew Baoyu, and the emperor called him out at noon!To be the No. [-] scholar in the literary list at a young age is amazing!How dare he neglect?Seeing that Baoyu looked a little strange, he hurriedly asked, "Is the young master not feeling well? Or is there something else? Just tell the younger one to do it."

Baoyu's eyes lit up all of a sudden!Why didn't I think of it just now?So he hurriedly said: "I didn't eat much at the banquet just now, and now I'm a little hungry. Please trouble the father-in-law to see if there is anything to eat, I will fill in some." The little eunuch smiled and said: "What is this? Master, wait a moment , I'll go take a look."

It took him about a quarter of an hour before he came back, with a food box in his hand. Everyone was having fun and no one paid attention to the movement here. He opened the lid of the box and took it out, saying with a smile: "I just went to eat. Fang Wen, they happened to have old duck soup simmering, so they ordered some noodles, a plate of goose breast, and a plate of jujube yam cake, and I brought them all for you."

Baoyu was overwhelmed with excitement, and said again and again: "I'm really thankful, little eunuch! Mingyan." Mingyan received his signal, stepped forward with a smile, took out a small pouch from his arms, and stuffed it into his hand: "Thank you, little eunuch. .”

The little eunuch squeezed it calmly, and then smiled more sincerely: "No thanks, no thanks! If you need it, the younger one will go out first."

Baoyu waited for him to go out, and then he couldn't wait to eat.After eating a big bowl of noodles with goose breast, he finally got over the hunger. He breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help sighing, "I'm really... so hungry! I've never been so unmannered before! "

Ming Yan also smiled and said: "It can be seen that the food at the banquet is not used to eating, it is better to eat at home comfortably."

Baoyu nodded approvingly, and slowly finished the plate of yam cake. Now she was [-]% full, and finally her stomach didn't feel uncomfortable.

By the time he drank another cup of tea and went out, the play had already been sung, and Jia Lian also woke up from his dreamland. He opened his eyes and saw that there was nothing around him, but he hadn't reacted yet.

Gu Junbai was still intoxicated in his own world, and Shui Rong dragged Yun Teng over, with a look of unsatisfactory expression on his face: "Oh, it's so great to win! It's a pity they won't let me play anymore, tsk tsk..."

Yun Teng rolled his eyes: "Of course you're happy to win, and all you lose is my money!" Jia Lian came to his senses and looked down. Sure enough, Yun Teng's purse was deflated, but the water-soluble one was swollen. He laughed.

Shui Rong sat down, and a young eunuch had come to change the hot tea. He cried for a long time and his throat was so thirsty that he smoked. He drank half a cup and said, "Huh? Why don't you see Baoyu?" Jia Lian shook his head in wonder, "I don't know, When I woke up he wasn't there."

After Baoyu finished his tea, he swayed out from the side contentedly. Seeing Jia Lian's water-soluble Yunteng together, he didn't know what to say.

He didn't want to say that he was hungry and went to find something to eat, but the group of people persisted, and there was a posture of not giving up if they couldn't ask. Coupled with Yun Teng's poisonous tongue, he couldn't help but spit it out, Was a good joke by them.

Talking and laughing at night, Baoyu asked Mingyan to just follow him with his cloak in his arms, so as not to look for him when he was leaving.

Shui Hong came back from nowhere, held another banquet and drank a few glasses of wine, explaining that the second prince will be two months old tomorrow, and it happens to be the first day of the new year, and he is going to hold a big banquet in the palace. The second prince's washing and drinking of the full moon wine were done together.

After saying this, he stayed for a while and then left, making everyone happy.But as soon as the big boss left, the people who had been making trouble all afternoon were exhausted. The royal family and princes were too lazy to deal with it, and they all left after thinking about it for a while. Only some ministers who came at night were still drinking. There is Jia Zheng.

Shui Rong left the palace with Baoyu Jialian and Gu An. He was in charge of sending Gu An back to Tianxiang Tower. Baoyu and Jia Lian went back together. When they came out, they greeted Jia Zheng. They went back without waiting for him. After all, tomorrow morning I still have to come, I have to go back and get a good sleep.

Sitting in the warm carriage, Baoyu, who was drinking beef soup, sighed: "My God, this day is more tiring than a horse that has been running for a day!"

Jia Lian nodded with concern in his heart, thinking that he would have to struggle for several days and feel tired and not in love...
