The early morning sun shone obliquely, causing the thousand-year-old tower to drag out a long shadow. The ancient Buddha statue hidden in the tower is also temporarily illuminated by this ray of sunlight, and the treasure is solemn, looking at the world without joy or sorrow.

Zhu Youzhen was taken aback when he heard that Dong Xiaowan had left overnight in front of the tower, and asked in surprise: "Isn't the Oiran Finals going to be played for three days in a row today?" Miss Dong and Miss Chen were shocked yesterday, and they were very likely to pick off the oiran, so why did they leave first before they had any results? ”

Chen Yuanyuan sighed and said, "This is all a false name, it's just a passing cloud." My sister ranks first in 'Qin Huai Bayan' and has long been famous all over the world. She was quiet by nature, and she didn't want to participate in any Oiran competition. It was only because of Mao Gongzi's repeated invitations that she did not quit her journey and traveled thousands of miles to the north. Last night, she was deeply annoyed by her son and insisted on returning to Suzhou. The slave family couldn't persuade her, so they had to let her go. ”

Zhu Youzhen hurriedly pretended to sigh and said, "Ah, it's a pity, it's a pity!" But he gloated in his heart, thinking that he didn't want to be close to Dong Xiaowan again in this life. This is called provoking me Zhu Youzhen, you didn't negotiate!

But when I thought of meeting Dong Xiaowan just yesterday, I don't know what year or month I can meet. In history, Dong Xiaowan died early, and a pinch of loess covered her soul, which made people sigh. I don't know if my crossing can affect the fate of this world-famous woman? When I think of this, I don't feel confused.

Chen Yuanyuan saw that Zhu Youzhen was silent, and said that he fell in love with Dong Xiaowan at first sight. For some reason, a trace of jealousy flashed in her heart, and she smiled reluctantly: "When my sister leaves, I want the slave family to come to find my son." If the son goes to Suzhou one day, please be sure to sit at my sister's place. By the way, dare to ask Gongzi You, yesterday's song "Vain Eyebrows", is it really composed by Gongzi? ”

No matter how thick-skinned Zhu Youzhen was, he didn't dare to take the cultural treasure of the Chinese nation "Dream of Red Mansions" for himself, so he had to answer honestly: "I can't hide it, this song was composed by Cao Xueqin." ”

Chen Yuanyuan's eyes suddenly lit up: "I don't know where this Cao Gongzi is now, can the slave family see it?" ”

Zhu Youzhen thought to himself that Cao Xueqin would have to be born in more than a hundred years, where can I find it for you. had to lie and say: "Gongzi Cao travels all over the world, and his whereabouts are uncertain. I want to see him, but it's hard! ”

When Chen Yuanyuan heard this, his expression immediately darkened, and he sighed softly.

Zhu Youzhen saw that Chen Yuanyuan was frustrated, and he felt a little unbearable, so he hurriedly comforted: "Although Cao Gongzi is not easy to find, he occasionally sends me letters, and there are often some poems he just wrote. I also received a letter a few days ago, and there is a song "Funeral Flower Yin" in it, which is also very exciting,..."

Chen Yuanyuan believed it and said with great joy: "Really? Can Childe read it to the slave family now? ”

Zhu Youzhen really wants to smoke a few big mouths of himself, why do you want to say "Funeral Flower Yin"? That's almost the longest poem in "Dream of Red Mansions". But the words had already come out, so I had to recite it head-on: "Flowers and flowers are flying all over the sky, who is sorry for the red incense?" The gossamer is soft and fluttering, and the flocculent is lightly stained with the embroidery curtain.

"The daughter in the boudoir cherishes the spring twilight, and is full of sorrow. Hand hoe the flowers out of the embroidery curtain, endure the falling flowers back and forth?

"The willow silk elm pod is from Fangfei, regardless of Tao Piao and Li Fei. Taoli can be sent again next year, who will know in the boudoir next year?

"The March Fragrance Nest has been built, and the swallows between the beams are too ruthless! Although the flower hair can be pecked next year, it is not good, and people will go to the beam empty nest and tilt.

"Three hundred and sixty days a year, the wind, frost, and sword are strict*. How long can it be bright and fresh? Once adrift, it is hard to find..."

Back here, Zhu Youzhen was already sweating profusely, his mouth was dry, and he couldn't remember a word of the words and sentences behind him.

Chen Yuanyuan was already stupid when he heard it, and muttered: "Three hundred and sixty days a year, the wind and frost and the sword are strict*!" Cao Gongzi's poem, how can it seem to be written for the slave family! …”

When Zhu Youzhen was opening his mouth and stammering, Lin Youkun hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Son, the lord is here, there is an urgent matter at home, please be sure to return quickly!" ”

Zhu Youzhen was taken aback. It turned out that the so-called "master" was the code he had discussed with Lin Youkun in advance, referring to the apocalypse. If you urgently call yourself back to the palace today, I don't know if you are worried about your safety, or if there is something wrong with the Jingshi?

No matter what, the holy order is difficult to disobey, and it is impossible to have a moment of intercourse with a beauty, so Zhu Youzhen has to say goodbye to Chen Yuanyuan.

Chen Yuanyuan saw that Zhu Youzhen was suddenly leaving, and he was reluctant to give up, and said with tears in his eyes: "The son left in a hurry, the slave family has not heard all of this song "Funeral Flower Yin", I don't know if we can meet in the future?" The slave family will return to Jinling in the near future, and return to the powder cave, it is better to have a place to bury this remnant flower! …”

Zhu Youzhen didn't know how to comfort her, so he had to say nonsense: "Miss Chen, didn't the Buddha once say: 'The sea of suffering is boundless, and turning back is the shore'?" I don't want to go back to Jinling, so I just leave, and no one is staring at you anyway. ”

Chen Yuanyuan wanted to cry and said: "The slave family is in Lejia, although the world is big, there is nowhere to live!" Besides, the slave family's ransom silver is as high as 200,000 taels, and even if someone wants to redeem the slave family, they can't take out so many silver taels..."

Zhu Youzhen couldn't see a woman crying the most. In his previous life, as soon as he saw those bitter movies on TV, he had to change the channel quickly, otherwise he would have to cry with others in a few minutes. At this time, seeing Chen Yuanyuan so sad, his mind was hot, and he blurted out: "Miss Chen, don't worry, the matter of redemption is on me!" Whoever wants to redeem you, I'll lend him money! ”

"Is this true?" Chen Yuanyuan asked in surprise, but then she lowered her head gloomily, "The slave family guesses that Gongzi will not lend him money..."

"What this son has is money! Who do you say that man is! In fact, as soon as the words came out, Zhu Youzhen regretted it a little, 200,000 taels of silver, it was not blown by a strong wind, and all his assets were not necessarily enough! If Chen Yuanyuan followed him after paying the money, it would be worth it; But marrying others, won't you become a living Lei Feng in the new era? But in front of Chen Yuanyuan, he didn't regret it, so he had to slap his swollen face and become fat, knock out his teeth and swallow it himself.

"It's the presumptuous boy!" Chen Yuanyuan plucked up his courage and said.

"He! Zhu Youzhen was suddenly covered with black lines.

A trace of disappointment flashed in Chen Yuanyuan's eyes, but he still forced a smile and said, "The slave family was joking with the son just now!" Even if Mao Gongzi wants to redeem himself for the slave family, the slave family still refuses to follow him! Otherwise, the slave family will never have the shame to meet Sister Xiaowan again! ”

At this time, Lin Youkun had already arranged the carriage and sent Bao Yulian and the four sisters to the carriage, ready to go. Zhu Youzhen had to say goodbye to Chen Yuanyuan.

When the car went out of the distance, Chen Yuanyuan poked his head out of the carriage and shouted in a coquettish voice: "If Gongzi has a new poem by Cao Gongzi, please be sure to transcribe a copy and send it to Jinling Yanyu Building!" ”

Zhu Youzhen also suddenly remembered something important, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Miss Chen, do you know a person named Wu Sangui?" ”

Chen Yuanyuan shouted in surprise: "I don't know! ”

"If you see Wu Sangui, don't pay attention to him!" Zhu Youzhen did his best and shouted at Chen Yuanyuan, who was gradually moving away.

"What Gongzi You said, the slave family can't hear clearly! Take care, Childe! Chen Yuanyuan's carriage turned a corner and disappeared from sight, but the sound was still far away.

Bao Yupian saw that Zhu Youzhen had been examined for a long time, but he still had a stunned expression, and said with a smile: "Since the son likes the round girl so much, wouldn't it be better to simply redeem her as well?" ”

Only then did Zhu Youzhen come back to his senses and interrupt awkwardly: "When did Miss Chen become Miss Bao's sister-in-law?" ”

Bao Yulian pretended to be angry and said: "A few of us hit it off at first sight, and we fell in love, and when we came just now, we had already made an appointment in the car to marry Jin Lan." The round girl also made the decision for Sister Xiaowan, and she was also counted as one. When he meets Sister Xiaowan one day, he will officially burn incense and kowtow to complete the ceremony. Such an important thing, Childe didn't hear it just now? Are you just appreciating the beauty of the round girl? ”

Zhu Youzhen looked at the four sisters of Meilan Zhuju, and saw that they also gave a positive answer with their eyes, and suddenly felt that they couldn't cry or laugh, it seems that they were not ordinary distractions just now.

In a short time, the carriage and horses had left Tongzhou City. Suddenly, a person behind him chased after him, shouting while chasing: "You Gongzi stays!" After a closer look, it was Li Zicheng, and Zhu Youzhen hurriedly ordered the carriage and horse to stop. Li Zicheng chased after him and rolled into the saddle and fell off the horse, and said with a sigh: "Why didn't You Gongzi say goodbye?" ”

Only then did Zhu Youzhen remember that Li Zicheng was counting on talking about big business with him, so he not only followed him from Beijing to Tongzhou, but also spent a huge amount of money to redeem Bao Yulian. It's better to forget about others and go out of the clouds. He suddenly felt embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Jingshi suddenly has urgent business, and he is in too much of a hurry, please don't be surprised by Li Gongzi." ”

"Where did You Gongzi come from!" Li Zicheng saw that Zhu Youzhen was not deliberately avoiding himself, and he was reassured. When he saw a wine shop on the side of the official road, he immediately invited Zhu Youzhen to stop here, saying that he wanted to drink with him as a farewell, but in fact, he was still looking for an opportunity to discuss business with him.

After three rounds of drinking, Lin Youkun said straight to the point: "You Gongzi, don't hide it, our Shaanxi business gang has recently encountered some small difficulties in operation, and we are in urgent need of capital turnover. Therefore, if You Gongzi still has a large amount of idle silver, the villain is willing to provide collateral and provide a higher interest rate than before. However, why does You Gongzi have to insist on the mortgage? ”

Zhu Youzhen thought to himself, in his previous life, my poor old man mistakenly believed in the so-called "private lending" of "high yield and zero risk", and invested hundreds of thousands of hard-earned money earned all his life, not to mention the interest, and even the principal was lost. Those buddies who illegally raised funds slapped their butts and left, but the old man was so angry that he was hospitalized.

It was once bitten by a snake that he was afraid of the well rope for ten years. With this lesson from the past, no matter who it is, no matter how eloquent you talk about lotus flowers and falling into the sky, how can my brother be credulous?
