Qingwen, Zijuan and Qiuwen giggled and laughed by the window for a long time, and they all ate wine, so they were inevitably a little thirsty. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info knew that the guy had brought the soup, and after a few more jokes, he came over to serve the soup and drank it. Qingwen saw that Baoyu was carefully serving soup to Daiyu there, and hurriedly pulled the sleeves of Zijuan and Qiuwen for them to see. The three big girls covered their mouths and laughed quietly for a while, but Daiyu still couldn't look at it, and said to them: "What are you hiding by the window and laughing quietly?" Why don't you sit down and drink soup! ”

The three big girls sat down in turn, ate some more vegetables, drank some soup and prepared to go back.

Just as everyone got up to leave, they suddenly heard a sound of footsteps outside, and then someone said, "Brother Yang, you abandoned the official and came back this time, but you were still a little reckless." The Son of Heaven ascended the throne under the care of the Emperor Taishang, and wanted to take the opportunity of a little girl to donate property to build a hometown academy, showing the willingness to attach importance to the world's scholars, which is also a good thing for us Jiangnan Shilin, why does Brother Yang have to be more serious with the above? ”

The one who was called Brother Yang was the Yang Yanguan who arrived at the dock by boat in front of Jia Zheng. I only heard him snort heavily and said: "I just look down on these people because the new emperor is young and can be bullied, and they have nepotism in the palace, so they dare to cause trouble in the court and do this kind of thing of inviting pets and selling beyond." ”

The person who was talking to him had to persuade again, and this Yang Yanguan said: "Brother Zhang doesn't need to persuade again, since I have arrived in Suzhou, I have to take a good look at the saint, how this Jia is hypocritical and greedy, using the guise of cultivating the academy to invite fame and wealth......" The two of them said, walked in front of Lin Daiyu's private room, and went to another private room.

Qingwen, Zijuan, and Qiuwen looked at each other, and they all fell silent. Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu didn't expect to hear this, they were both dumbfounded. When the footsteps of those people passed, they faintly heard the sound of ordering food in the compartment not far away, and another footstep passed through the private room where they were and went downstairs, about the man who went downstairs to bring tea and water.

Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu quietly came out with Zijuan and Qingwen Qiuwen and prepared to go downstairs, but the private room over there suddenly opened the door again, and a young man came out, who was about to go downstairs, and stopped when he saw the five of their master and servant. Baoyu saw that it was the young man who Yang Yanguan was accompanying the boat, and his heart suddenly felt a little weak. But fortunately, this Yang Yanguan and his family have a problem, that is, they never look at people squarely. Therefore, although Jia Baoyu recognized him while sailing on the same river, he did not recognize Jia Baoyu.

Daiyu also felt the young man's somewhat frivolous eyes, and walked downstairs quickly. Zijuan, Qingwen, and Qiuwen all blocked the young man's gaze with their bodies, and surrounded Daiyu and Baoyu out of the Deyue Tower. Zijuan stayed behind to settle the bill, and the carriage was waiting in front of the building, and everyone got into the carriage. The little guys waiting outside didn't understand what was going on, but they looked at the masters with serious faces, and they all drove the carriage out of Deyue Tower.

Back in the house, Zijuan and Qingwen accompanied Lin Daiyu back to freshen up and rest. Several people had drunk, and when they returned to the inner courtyard, they couldn't help but feel a little drunk, and they became sleepy. Lin Daiyu was also tired, so she asked Zijuan to serve her and wash her face and head, and Qingwen went to the bed to lay out the futon. The two served Lin Daiyu to lie down, and each went to wash up, one lay down in the compartment, and the other slept on the bed in the outer room.

Baoyu returned to Zhenlong Courtyard, asked Qiu Wen to help him wash his head and face, thought about it, and changed into a clean coat and went to Jia Zheng's house. Jia Zheng had just put down the affairs of the academy at this time, asked the kitchen to send a plate of braised duck and a plate of spring rolls, and was slowly drinking wine while cooking. As soon as he heard that Baoyu asked to see him, he became curious and asked Baoyu to bring him in.

Baoyu was still a little afraid of Jia Zheng in the end, and when he saw Jia Zheng drinking wine, he waited for him to speak with a pleasant face, and he didn't dare to be reckless, so he organized his language and briefly told Jia Zheng what happened in Deyue Tower.

Jia Zheng didn't expect Baoyu to really have something serious to say to him, so he couldn't help but put down his wine glass with a solemn face and asked, "Have you really looked carefully, among those people is the family we met on the river?" Are they the officials of Kyori? Baoyu hurriedly said, "It's true. That day, I saw that they were also Kyoto ships, and I looked at them twice with some curiosity, and I remembered the appearance of the young man. But their family may have been taller and didn't notice me. So Sister Lin and I went downstairs and came out, and he didn't seem to recognize me. ”

Jia Zheng pondered for a while and decided to write back to Beijing to ask, but there was a Yanguan surnamed Yang who lost his official position because of the matter of repairing the academy. Although there are people eyeing him before the start of construction, Jia Zheng is not very worried. He originally wanted to seriously build or rebuild Suzhou Academy, implement every cent of Lin Daiyu's donation, and use this to earn face for the virtuous concubine Yuanchun in the palace.

Jia Zheng thought about it, and when he saw that Baoyu was still standing on the ground respectfully, he said to him: "I know, there is no need to worry about this matter. It's just that when you go out to play, you still have to bring more people, so that people don't bump into your sister Lin. Baoyu hurriedly responded, said goodbye and wanted to go back, Jia Zheng stopped him and said: "Don't waste your daily homework, remember to review it often." ”

Jia Baoyu agreed one by one, and seeing that Jia Zheng did not reprimand him as usual, he dared to say words of concern, Jia Zheng waved his hand, Baoyu breathed a sigh of relief, and withdrew from the pen washing room.

Although he drank a few glasses of wine, Baoyu felt better spirited. He wanted to go to Lin Daiyu to talk again, but when he came to the door of the inner courtyard, he saw that the lights inside were extinguished, and he knew that Lin Daiyu should be tired and rested early. He thought about what he had seen and heard on the way out to Suzhou, some of the things he had experienced recently, the beautiful scenery and customs in the south of the Yangtze River, and the scenery of the Grand View Garden in the capital, and stood under a big peach blossom tree in front of the inner courtyard and thought silently.

The breeze was blowing, the peach blossoms were falling like rain, Baoyu looked at the house where Lin Daiyu lived through the door wall of the inner courtyard, and secretly thought that if such years could continue forever, there would be no need to worry about the fame of the imperial examination, and no one else would disturb him, and it would be more beautiful and complete than letting the tears of his daughters bury him.

He thought about all the past events in the Grand View Garden, and thought that Mother Jia, Mrs. Wang and others would grow old one day, and several sisters would get married, and the girls in the house would all be scattered, just as the peach blossoms would fall when they bloomed, and they would bear fruit, and then they would be swept away by the autumn wind.

Thinking that he could be by his side at that time, maybe Lin Daiyu was the only one. He looked at the quiet courtyard in the night, thinking that if there were a few girls serving in the future, he would die with Sister Lin in such a small town, and he didn't know what kind of beautiful thing it was. Falling flowers like rain, Jia Baoyu stood under this tree, unconsciously stupid.
