Prince of the Red Chamber and his father

Xiren coaxed a few words with Yan Yuese, and sent Fangguan to Hengwuyuan to pick up the dishes.

In Hengwu Garden, Li Wan was leading the sisters to chat and laugh.

"Why haven't I seen fourth girl for a long time?" Seeing that all the sisters were there, but only Xichun was missing, Li Wan wondered.

The old lady moved herself into the garden and led the girls to do needlework, so she had the responsibility of taking care of the sisters.I haven't seen Xichun for three or four days, even Yingchun is here today, but it's a pity that spring still hasn't come.Could it be that he was sick, why didn't he see the maidservant to report to himself?

"Fourth girl has been learning to paint with uncle all day long." Lin Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled.

"Why did you publish all the new articles in the past two days, and the old man can also draw? Speaking of which, there was a funny thing a few days ago! It's a pity that I didn't remember it until now." Shi Xiangyun clapped his hands and laughed.

"Young girl Yun only cares about people's appetites. What's so funny about it? Why haven't we heard about it? Does the third girl know?" Because of the assassination by Lingguan in the past few days, everyone in the garden is in danger, and the girls have also screened out a few Only the family and their children were left behind, and those bought from outside were sent out by Wang Xifeng in full.

Jia Tanchun shook her head when she heard the words, she didn't know what funny thing Shi Xiangyun was talking about, she was so busy these days that she almost lost her head, and today she had time to chat and laugh with her sisters.

Li Wan saw that everyone didn't know, but Shi Xiangyun was still looking around with a smile, so he urged her to speak quickly.

"It's a pity that Zijuan is not here, otherwise it would be better for her to speak." Seeing that the sisters were all attracted by her words, Shi Xiangyun said proudly.

"The Zijuan in front of Miss Lin?" Li Wan was surprised. There are quite a few good maids in Rongguo Mansion, such as Yuanyang in the old lady's house, Caixia in the wife's house, and the maid in front of Wang Xifeng. Those who serve the girls are led by Xiren, Qingwen, Siqi, Zijuan, Shishu and so on.These maids are scheming and prudent, how did Shi Xiangyun grasp the handle to arrange it?

"A while ago, I went to play with my second elder brother, and I happened to see Xiren rummaging through boxes and cabinets, so I asked curiously, only to find out that Zijuan said that sister Lin wanted to go home, and asked the second master to take all the obstinate things from childhood. Pack it up and go back. I don’t know if Zijuan is so bold as to lie to the second brother to play, or if Sister Lin wants to play a joke on the second brother.”

Shi Xiangyun thought it was funny, but when he talked about Sister Bao, his concubine was worried.

Sister Lin, are you in a hurry?The old lady let the second brother wear a golden unicorn, which is considered to be in line with the saying that the golden jade is a good match.Sister Pianlin still didn't give up, and sent her confidant girl to test out her second brother, which became a big joke.Could it be that she thought that the second elder brother only had her in his heart, and would be reluctant to go to her house and seek life and death?

"What kind of joke is this? Is sister Lin homesick? Yesterday, I heard my father and my second brother say that I want to go around the south of the Yangtze River and see the scenery in the north. I am thinking that my father wants to go together. If I want to go, it will be in March and April next year, which corresponds to a poem. The fireworks will go down to Yangzhou in March, and then my sister can go with me." Yingchun didn't quite understand, what's the matter? funny.

"Second sister is telling the truth?" Lin Daiyu asked hastily. It has always been a heart problem for her that no one pays homage to her parents after their death. However, she lives in her grandparents' house, so she can't worship her parents in other people's ancestral halls, so she has to secretly offer some fruits Just a few prayers.

"Look! I just talked about the fourth sister, but it's just an obstinate word. Who knows if I can go. If I can go, I guarantee that none of you will be lost. Although the second elder brother has cultivated recently, my father is always worried, and it has been a long time They didn't let us go out." Yingchun laughed quickly after hearing this.

"Sister Lin, I have something I want to ask you. You asked the second elder brother to pack up all the things and return them to you. What about the ones in your house?" Seeing everyone talking, Shi Xiangyun didn't know where he went. Busy and dragged back, he looked at Daiyu and joked.

"Sister Yun, what did you say? It's in my house. Could it be that there are stolen goods hidden in my house?" Lin Daiyu sneered, those things were naturally burned by Zijuan, but when is it Shi Xiangyun's turn to worry about this matter, first earn the treasure Say it again, Second Mistress!

"Sister Lin, why are you pretending to be confused? When you were young, you gave your second elder brother something. Didn't your second elder brother give it to you?" Shi Xiangyun asked in a tricky way. Sister Lin, do you admit it or not? If you admit it, hurry up Send it back, if you don't admit it, you will lose face.

"Sister Yun, what are you doing so seriously? Since it was a gift when I was a child, there is no reason to return it. Could it be that the ring that Sister Yun just gave me will be taken back tomorrow?" Li Wan heard that something was wrong, and hurriedly interrupted.

Shi Xiangyun was about to refute that it was Lin Daiyu who asked her second elder brother to return it first, when she saw Fangguan come in, surrounded by his daughter-in-law and mother-in-law, and Fangfangguan came to pick up the plates again, matching the scene just now, everyone was in awe It's laughing.

Li Wan wished he could get rid of her early, now that he saw these opera girls, he suspected that they would dare to do anything, and this Fangguan dressed up very well, for fear of being caught by Brother Lang.

Lin Daiyu suffocated at Shi Xiangyun's place, and when she was about to explode, she was afraid that it would be difficult for Li Wan to do so.After all, Shi Xiangyun is the niece of his grandmother's natal family, so it is not easy to offend.

Li Wan was afraid of causing trouble again, so after sitting for a while, he sent the girls to the old lady's room for dinner.Yingchun went to Daoxiang Village every day, and seeing that Lin Daiyu and Shi Xiangyun had some quarrels, she casually invited Daiyu to go with her.

"Sister Lin, why should you be angry with Sister Yun, she has always been open-minded, don't get angry with yourself because of this." Yingchun saw that Daiyu's complexion had not yet relaxed, and persuaded her as she walked.

"Sister Yun is outspoken, but she only treats me." Lin Daiyu sighed. She and her second elder brother, Sister Yun, grew up together, so they were no more affectionate than others. Seeing that Shi Xiangyun had no father or mother like herself, she often There is a sense of sympathy for each other, and she is closer to her than the other sisters.Unexpectedly, after Xue Baochai came, this Shi Xiangyun was the first to turn against him, holding Xue Baochai openly and secretly to belittle himself.

Lin Daiyu didn't even think about the old love, until now she couldn't figure out where she offended her, why everything was so against her?

After Yingchun heard this, she didn't know what to say. Although their sisters had been together since childhood, they were not as close as Lin Daiyu and Shi Xiangyun. Perhaps the closer they were, the more unforeseen they would be.

When the two arrived at Daoxiang Village, they saw that the kitchen had delivered food boxes.

Ji Huaiyuan wasn't that particular about eating at separate tables.They are all father, son, uncle and nephew, so why do they need so much etiquette in private, so when eating in Daoxiang Village, they all hang out together and never pay attention to table manners.

When Lin Daiyu was in the old lady's room, eating a meal was nothing more than serving the maid with a few chopsticks to respond to the scene.You eat in Daoxiang Village but no one cares about you, Ji Huaiyuan doesn't like to be served by maids, so he just opens his mouth and stretches his hands when eating like this, always worried that if the father and son go back in the future, they may not even be able to take care of themselves.

"It's a hot day, why don't you eat hot pot!"

There was still a charcoal fire burning under the table, Yin Reng moved his chopsticks a little, and called the little girl to bring ice cubes. The wound on his arm was just right, and it was slightly itchy after sweating from the heat.

"Second Master, Second Master Bao is here." While eating, a maid came in to announce.

Yinzhen came all the way in, followed the little maid to the inner courtyard first, and saw a pavilion there, covered by waterfalls and water curtains on both sides.

Hmph, lusting after extravagance is really the prince's usual temperament.

"Brother Bao, have you eaten yet, do you need a seat for you?"

What a system!There is no distinction between men and women, the prince's etiquette has been learned in the stomach of a dog, and this uncle, no wonder even the little maid knows that he is out of tune, and when Yinzhen saluted, he saw that he put down the long chopsticks in his hand and mouthed Li still chewed from top to bottom, not acting like an elder at all.

"I've already eaten, wait for my second brother in the study."

After Yinzhen left, Yinhu signaled the crown prince with his eyes, why did the Lord come to the door.

"Prince Beijing has posted a post, please brother Bao come to the house today to talk about it."

What the second elder brother said had a lot of meaning, Yinhu put down his chopsticks and pondered for a while.So, the second brother and the fourth child have already met each other?The key to the assassination of the second brother is in the Beijing Palace. The fourth brother was invited to go there today, and came back to report the situation. Has he already started working for the second brother?

Brothers, everyone knows that they are not getting along with the fourth brother. What does the second brother mean by this?

Seeing Yinhu put down his chopsticks, Yinfeng knew that he was suspicious.This old eighth is too narrow-minded, so he just ordered the fourth to do a job.Speaking of closeness and estrangement, even though the fourth child cheated me in the previous life, the eighth child also contributed a lot.No, speaking of closeness and distance, only Lao Ba and himself are blood brothers in this life, so why worry about it? With Dad around, can we lose his glory and wealth?

"Father only cares about Cong'er, my second sister and I seem to have picked it up." Seeing that Ji Huaiyuan picked up a few chopsticks for Yinhu, Yinreng said half sourly and half pointedly.

"What are you mixing, I want to put it in for you, see if you can fit it in your bowl! Why can't Cong'er move his chopsticks, eat more, be careful that your second brother will eat it all in a while." Ji Huaiyuan frowned.

"Second elder brother always likes to pull me when he talks. Although my father is partial, he is not partial. Sister Lin will judge us." Yingchun pouted at the eldest sister in Ji Huaiyuan's arms, and got a grimace from the eldest sister. , everyone laughed.

After Yinreng had eaten, he came to the study and saw Yinzhen standing in front of the bookshelf with his hands behind his back. Seeing him coming in, he hurriedly turned around and saluted.

"His Royal Highness."

"Fourth brother doesn't need to be so courteous, it's not what it used to be, just call me second brother like Cong'er."

"Cong'er?" Judging from the Crown Prince's tone, could it be that Brother Cong is also an old friend?Yinzhen frowned in thought, remembering the child who choked his neck last time.

"The fourth brother is over-hearted. In this life, Cong'er is my younger brother. Is there anything to gain from the Beijing Prince's Palace?"

"The younger brother only found out that it was related to the former Ma Daopo. The second brother might as well find out what Ma Daopo knows."

The prince of Beijing Jing is quite good at studying, at least he pretends to be so. There are several yards in the mansion who are Qing Ke Xianggong who advises and advises, and he doesn't even believe in ghosts if he doesn't want to rebel.

The Rongguo Mansion initially took two paths. Jia She was the eldest son of Xijue, and he was closer to the deposed prince since he was a child. Jia Zheng leaned on King Beijing.After the lineage of the deposed prince disappeared, Jia Amnesty had no hope, and spent his whole day in love and sensuality.But the King of Beijing is getting more and more powerful in the court, and now the courtiers under his sect account for almost half of the country, so Mrs. Jia and Jia Zheng are looking forward to getting closer to the King of Beijing.

This time, King Beijing held his hand and said a few words from his confidantes. He first probed into the assassination of the crown prince in the Rongguo Mansion, and then confessed a few words. Those nasty words are disgusting to Yinzhen when he thinks about them now. I forgot about it, but I only remembered that King Beijing hinted that when Jia Lian died, he would be able to inherit Rongguo Mansion in a legitimate way in the future.

Thinking about coming to Beijing, the prince is worried about the big house, so he wants his confidant Jia Baoyu to be the master of the Rongguo Mansion, but it's not easy to tell the second brother about it, and it's not good to make him suspicious. Last time, those stupid actors came to look for him I pleaded for mercy, so let's go on like this. It's no wonder that the second brother doesn't suspect that he is an accomplice. He has to lead him to think elsewhere.

Prince Beijing's action has something to do with Ma Daopo, but it's hard to say what Ma Daopo knows!It's hard to say whether he is alive or dead in the Beijing Prince's Mansion now, so let the second brother search hard.
