But it was said that Huo Sheng suddenly came to look for Jia Baoyu, and the two met at the gate of Rongguo Mansion, Huo Sheng smiled: "I know there is a good place, go with me, there will be no such shop in this village." ”

Baoyu hurriedly smiled and asked, "Where is it?" How do you know I live here? ”

Huo Sheng said: "Hengzhu, you go with me, you will like it." ”

Baoyu didn't ask any more questions, shouted Mingyan pulled the horse, and followed him.

After walking for a while, Huo Sheng lightly beat the mount a few steps faster, and Baoyu also followed, and the kid he brought with him glanced at Mingyan. Mingyan hurriedly pulled the reins, and the two of them fell behind their masters.

Huo Shengnai said: "Today, my father and king have something to do, and my grandmother and mother also went to Dongping Wangfu to listen to the play, and I will quietly lead you to see Miss Jia." ”

Baoyu Yimeng: "What? ”

Huo Sheng said indifferently: "Huo Xuan is my son." ”

Baoyu was stunned.

Huo Sheng also slowed down and turned his head to look at him: "Miss Jia is a smart person, she is living a good life now, you don't have to worry." ”

After a long time, Baoyu raised his head and asked slowly, "When did you know that I was from Rongguofu?" ”

Huo Sheng said: "I knew it at the beginning. I've heard that you're an interesting person, so I'm looking for you. ”

Baoyu was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "I'm still that fool." ”

Huo Sheng said: "Shang Ke, I actually saw you gradually go from extremely stupid to ordinary stupid. ”

Baoyu glanced at him: "Is this a compliment to me?" ”

Huo Sheng nodded and said, "Yes, I rarely praise people." ”

Baoyu chuckled, "I wasn't stupid when you saw me. He added, "I want to come to my sister Su Ri and get a lot of care from you." ”

Huo Sheng said: "This is not true, I have never seen Sister Ling." She's been living very well. The current situation in our house is a good life. ”

Baoyu nodded and said, "It's good to be safe." He hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help asking, "My sister...... Is it possible that I will leave your house in the coming day? ”

Huo Sheng glanced at him: "The extraordinary concubines given by the palace can't be sent away for no reason." ”

Baoyu said gloomily: "You can't waste your life like this." ”

Huo Sheng glanced at the sky and said, "There are more people who are stumbling, and it is good to be safe." Besides, it's better in our house than in the palace. Because he sneered, "A few days ago, there was a girl who didn't know whether to live or die and jumped out in a panic to be a gunman for someone, and this time she was already paralyzed." ”

Baoyu hurriedly asked, "Then she may be okay in the future?" ”

Huo Sheng said: "Naturally, it can't get better, it's good to survive two years of life." Don't you hear a woman with a look of concern, it's my father's woman. Besides, she had died by herself, and no one could save her. also beat two little girls to death, and those two were unjustly killed. ”

Baoyu was so frightened that she didn't dare to ask more, so she sighed silently for a while: "Why ......?"

Huo Sheng looked at him and said with a smile: "All young and beautiful women in your eyes are good, and all young and beautiful women in my eyes are evil." ”

Baoyu said: "My daughter is originally a God-given essence Lingxiu, how can she be evil?" ”

Huo Sheng said: "That's because your mother is a little capable, and your father is incompetent." My father was strong and my mother was weak, and his little wives tried to kill me since I was in my mother's womb, and I almost fell off my horse until the month before, but fortunately I was very good at horsemanship. ”

Baoyu's eyes widened.

"Now there is a man in our house who is pregnant with a piece of meat, and whether it is a man or a woman, I am in the horizontal and vertical positions, and even if she gives birth to a son, she will not be the son of the world. As for those who helped her, they all thought that they would see that Concubine Qin would not be able to come back, and no one in this house had been pregnant for many years, and now they are pregnant, and one day they will also be pregnant? I'm still in the way. Huo Sheng smiled brightly for a moment, but Baoyu looked at it a little coldly, "I am immortal!" And if their sons come out or not, they say that even if they are born, I am here, and they will not have a day to come. ”

Baoyu was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "Every time I think I have understood the world, someone will always poke me. He bowed his head and sighed.

Huo Sheng smiled: "That's it, you already understand a lot more than when I first met you." That's when you're funny, as if you grew up in a snow cave and don't know anything. ”

Baoyu smiled bitterly: "That's it, according to what you said, it's better than that day." ”

They then went all the way to the palace of the king of Nan'an. When he arrived at the door, someone had already come up to call Shizi and pull the horse, Huo Sheng led Baoyu straight inside, and no one dared to ask. Baoyu was stunned. In the old years, he begged here that someone could let him in to see his sister, but he let the prince of Nan'an kick him in the chest. Now he didn't even ask who he was.

The two of them went to Huo Sheng's study first, and Baoyu saw that it was simple and square, and there were few stubborn weapons, so he couldn't help asking: "Why don't you set up some bottles?" ”

Huo Sheng said: "I don't like it." Besides, my family is a military general, so I don't have that interest. ”

Baoyu smiled: "My cousin Cong'er is also practicing martial arts, and there is nothing in the house—but whenever someone gives him a stubborn weapon, he will take it all to his sister." ”

Huo Sheng's eyebrows moved: "Jia Cong? ”

Baoyu said: "Do you recognize him?" ”

Huo Sheng said: "I've heard of it." He was shopping with your uncle at the beginning of the month, and he happened to meet the saint Arowana suit, but many people were inquiring about him. ”

Baoyu said: "He has such luck, but I have never heard of it." ”

Huo Sheng couldn't help but turn his head to look at him: "Haven't you heard?" ”

Baoyu said: "At the beginning of the month, I was still in the academy." Now that the Chinese New Year is coming, he is young and lively, and he loves to go out to watch and play; I have not been filial to my grandmother for many days, and I am at home every day to accompany her old man. So we don't have time to make small talk. ”

Huo Sheng glanced at him again, turned his head, and said, "That's it, I'll talk about this later." I'll send someone to take you to see Miss Jia, and secretly say that you will be considerate of yourself, don't delay too long. ”

Baoyu hurriedly stood up and bowed to him deeply: "Don't thank you for your great kindness, you know me." ”

Huo Sheng waved his hand and said, "It's a little thing, but it's just a good deal." If it weren't for the fact that there were no adults in the house today, I wouldn't be too lazy to meddle with things. He took the book from his desk and looked at it.

Baoyu lowered his head and smiled, and then followed a big girl quietly out of the back door of his study and walked towards Yuanchun's small courtyard. It took a long time to arrive, and because the big girl didn't smile, Baoyu was a little worried all the way. The big girl knocked on the door, and after a while, a little girl came out of it, and she was stunned when she saw them.

The big girl whispered: "This is Miss Jia's brother, because he is friends with the prince, the prince specially ordered him to come and meet Miss Jia." Don't delay too long. ”

The little girl was stunned and said, "Is it the second master of Rongguo Mansion?" ”

Baoyu hurriedly stepped forward and made a gesture: "Exactly, it's annoying Sister Maid." ”

The little girl frowned slightly and looked at him a few times, and saluted: "Please forgive the slave and maid for being rude, dare to ask the second master Bao what is the name of the person who comes to give us something every time?" ”

Baoyu said: "It's my scholar Mingyan." ”

The little girl asked again, "What was sent last time?" When was it delivered? ”

Baoyu said: "I transcribed my two lessons, which were ten days ago. ”

"What's in that bag you sent for the first time?"

Baoyu said: "The piano score I collected for my sister was sent by my sister in the house. ”

The little girl looked at him carefully, and finally nodded: "The eyebrows and eyes are like what Mingyan said." Because he saluted again, "The second master is not strange, because you are a man, our girl is cautious, I am afraid that there will be fraud." ”

Bao Yuqi said: "I am her younger brother, what can I deceive?" Don't you know when you meet? ”

The little girl and the big girl who brought him looked at each other, turned sideways and let the two of them in, and immediately closed the courtyard door.

Baoyu was very inexplicable, turned around and glanced at the courtyard, it was really small, there was a small plum blossom in front of the court, and the fragrance was quite moving. And the little girl led them inside.

I saw a woman in her twenties sitting on a small couch in a plain robe, although she didn't apply fat powder or hairpins, her eyebrows were clear and peaceful, and she asked softly, "Lu Qi, who is here?" As soon as he raised his eyes and saw a young man coming in, he was also a little stunned.

Baoyu and she haven't seen her for many years, and they can vaguely distinguish a few traces of childhood, and immediately burst into tears, and pounced on her and shouted "sister".

Yuan Chun suddenly understood, hurriedly took it in his arms, stroked his neck and smiled: "It's better than before......" The two sisters and brothers hugged their heads and cried.

After a while, the two of them eased up a little, and Yuan Chun looked up and saw that there was no one in the house for a long time. He took Baoyu's hand and asked, "How are your parents and grandmother?" Are you doing at that college? ”

Baoyu said: "It's all good, the ancestor is quite strong, and I am a very good person in the academy." Then he said some trivial things at home, and he naturally didn't dare to say it when Xue Pan made a big fuss in Rongguo Mansion yesterday.

Yuan Chun sighed: "I'll be relieved that you are well." Because he said, "Your article is really beneficial, but the foundation is still a little vain." He took out a large stack of papers.

Baoyu saw that she had transcribed all her poems and articles and commented on them carefully, and couldn't help but praise: "My sister is a great talent." ”

Yuan Chun smiled: "Although I am only a shallow learner, it is not arrogant to point out to you as a child." Go back and see. ”

Baoyu hurriedly said: "Sister, I'll go back and study well." "Busy carrying those in his arms, bulging.

Yuan Chun was happy in his heart, and stroked the top of his head again and smiled: "I will take a look at your precious jade, I haven't seen it a few times at home before, I have forgotten what it looks like." ”

Baoyu's face stiffened, and he said for a long time: "That thing is a little cold, and I didn't bring it with me in winter." My sister wants to see, I'll bring it next time and I'll leave it at your place to play slowly. ”

Yuan Chun immediately glanced at him, and the corner of Baoyu's sharp eyes jumped. Yuan Chun sighed: "I'm content to have this time, where do I dare to think about the next time." When you were young, in the winter, your nurse would put the jade under the pillow and cover it, and the next day she would not wear it on her neck. Why can't today's maids even know this? Don't you coax me, what's wrong? ”

Baoyu quibbled a few more words, but Yuan Chunfen didn't believe it, and only looked at him with his eyes. Baoyu finally lowered his head and said, "That jade ...... I gave it to Brother Xue for the time being. ”

Yuan Chun was stunned: "Who?" ”

"It's Aunt Xue's son. Our family owed them a lot of money that we had not repaid, so I gave him that and asked him to use it as collateral. ”

Yuan Chun was shocked: "Say it clearly!" How, exactly. ”

Baoyu sighed lightly, deleted some inappropriate things about Xue Pan's forced debts, and said slowly, and finally said with a sad brow: "I thought about it all night last night, and I don't know where to get this silver." ”

Yuan Chun thought for a long time when he heard this, and asked, "Brother Cong'er's idea, the Xue family can follow?" ”

Baoyu was stunned: "This ...... The ancestors never told me. ”

Yuan Chun glanced at him again and sighed, "Why do you have to wait for others to tell you about such a big thing? Seeing that you are going to be thirteen years old, you have to find out for yourself. I see that his method is good, but the Xue family may not be willing to follow it. She thought for a while, shook her head and said, "That's it, you don't care about this matter, and you will be filial to the old lady and the wife in the future." In addition, I will come and go with the big house more often. ”

Baoyu nodded, although he didn't understand it.

The two of them talked for a while, and the big girl outside came in and said, "Second Master of the Jia family, it's time to go." ”

Baoyu was very reluctant, but Yuan Chun smiled: "It's rare to see each other, you go quickly, don't make trouble for the prince." ”

Yuan Chun then stood up and sent him straight to the gate of the courtyard. Baoyu only took two steps to the door, and couldn't help but look back. Yuan Chun didn't dare to go out, so he only waved his hand in the courtyard. Baoyu held back tears and walked out, only to hear a "creak" behind him, and the door closed. With a pair of teary eyes, he followed the big girl who led the way back to Huo Sheng's study.

At this time, Huo Sheng already had something to do next to him and didn't know where he went, so he left the kid who had just followed them all the way, and told Jia Erye to send it out from the gate when he returned. Baoyu had no choice but to thank Huo Sheng again and again for the kid, and left with tears.

As soon as he walked with his front foot, the big girl found Huo Sheng with his hind foot, and returned to what his sister and brother said in the house one by one. Huo Sheng said with a smile: "That Jia Cong is really extremely smart, and he is not all the way with him, no wonder the saints are willing to listen to him." He sighed again, "I don't know that Baoyu's temperament may be clean for a lifetime." ”

Who knew that Huo Xuan came back on this day, and first went to Aunt Liu's house to take a look. Aunt Liu hurriedly dragged him and whispered: "Lord Wang, I heard that the prince brought a good and handsome young man back, but then the child wiped his tears and left, and the prince didn't send it." ”

Huo Xuan was a little tired after a day of drinking and banquet outside, and he was so shocked when he heard the words that he even woke up from the wine: "Who is that little boy?" ”

Aunt Liu said: "I don't know this, I still listened to the little girl when I was half asleep, and I didn't know who was talking about it." ”

Huo Xuan couldn't help but have all kinds of thoughts in his heart, and hurriedly called a confidant to come over and ask him to inquire. It turned out that no one paid attention to what he looked like when Baoyu was making trouble in front of their mansion in the old days, and today the gatekeepers didn't recognize him at all, and the prince didn't tell anyone who he was, so it didn't take long for the henchman to come back and say: "The prince really brought a little boy back, and the two went to his study together, and then he came out to practice guns in the back." The little boy seemed to have waited in the study for a long time before leaving, and when he left, Shizi was still practicing guns. ”

Huo Xuan became more and more unsettled, walking around the house and thinking wildly. For a while, I was afraid that my son had really learned some messy things about Longyang, and I was afraid that he had wronged him. After thinking about it for a long time, I finally went to the princess's courtyard. Aunt Liu smiled behind her and called for someone to bring tea.

The princess also heard about this, and she couldn't think about it like Huo Xuan, and she was anxious. As soon as the two of them met, Huo Xuan ordered everyone in the house to go out and whispered to the princess about it.

The princess hurriedly said: "I'm also worried about this, but I don't know how to ask him." ”

Huo Xuan thought for a while and said, "Sheng'er, I know, he is really a good boy, even if someone wants to take him badly, it is not easy." He is not young anymore, and I will take him with me when I go back to the camp after the New Year, and it is better to go to the army to practice earlier. ”

The princess was stunned, where could she give up her son? hurriedly persuaded: "How old is he, where did he go to the barracks?" He was a son of the world. You only ordered a few people to watch closely, and then inquire who the little boy is, is it an ordinary friend who knows him outside? And didn't he drive the man away? The barracks are all rough people, and if there is a bump, how can it be good! ”

The front is still there, and when he heard the back, Huo Xuan couldn't help but be furious: "Long hair and short knowledge!" I've been at war when I'm his age! Coarse people, how can you have your clothes and snacks without those coarse people? "Straight up his sleeves and gone.
