Chapter 13: The Dispute over the Red Chamber

Lu Caiqing smiled, and said to the young man: "Excuse me, we are from Chenjia Village, and the Chen family asked us to send embroidery." ”

When the young man heard this, his eyes lit up and he said, "Hey! Don't say it early, the girls talk every day, my ears are calloused, why are you so late, come in. ”

After speaking, the young man turned around and led the way, and Lu Caiqing and Sister-in-law Li followed behind.

Only then did she look up at the structure, and when she entered, there was a spacious lobby, resplendent with a few mahogany tables and chairs. Directly in front of it there is a square platform that is magnificently decorated, which is where the girls perform here, and there are many silk yarns hanging around it, and where there is a corner of everything, there are octagonal candlesticks, and at night this place must be a paradise for men.

There are stairs on both sides of the stairs, the handrails of the stairs are decorated very good-looking, and the upper floor is a dozen rooms, the pattern is the same, that is where the girls pick up guests, it is now noon, and their busy time is at night, so it is normal for it to be very quiet above.

When I came to the backyard, a tall two-story building appeared, and the scene here was much more spacious than before.

The yard is planted with evergreen flowers in all seasons, and there are many invaluable flowers and plants, such as evergreen, ruyi grass, cockscomb...... They don't plant those flowers and plants that are difficult to wait, it is estimated that they have no time to serve, so they have to pick some good flowers and plants to find a pot and put flowers, all up to their own efforts, flowers and plants are also angry, have to find a corner in the yard, decorate a little spring.

Lu Caiqing and Sister-in-law Li were left in place to wait, the young man went upstairs to call people by himself, when Lu Caiqing was bored, he was attracted by a pear blossom blooming in the courtyard, she stepped forward, Sister-in-law Li suddenly grabbed her, and whispered: "Caiqing!" Don't be unruly, this is someone's territory, we have to wait honestly. ”

Lu Caiqing listened and comforted: "Sister-in-law Li! I'm just looking! If you don't reach out and touch it, it won't fly down on its own. ”

Sister-in-law Li was just because she was timid, and now there is no one around her to put her mind at ease, and she was amused by her playful words: "Okay! Just check it out! Spending it far away has nothing to do with us. ”

"Listen to Sister-in-law Li, listen to people's persuasion to eat a full meal, I'll stand here and watch it from a distance!" She looked at the pear blossoms attentively, and felt that "suddenly like a night of spring breeze, thousands of trees and pear blossoms bloom." It's a pity that there is only one pear tree here. ”

"Little girl, what are you talking nonsense? What thousands of trees, woods in our village are, pear blossoms are what we countrymen see, and there are so many, don't daydream. ”

Lu Caiqing knew that she had misunderstood what she meant, and she didn't make an excuse, she didn't know that she unintentionally read out a sentence in "Bai Xue Ge Sends the Military Judge to Beijing", but it was listened to by a person with a heart.

Lu Caiqing looked at the pear blossoms quietly, with the spring breeze gently swaying, exuding bursts of pear blossom fragrance from time to time, she couldn't help but close her eyes and breathe as much as she wanted, this is the only time she has been in a good mood in the past few months, although this place is in the Red Mansion.

At this moment, her wrist was tightly clenched in her hand, and she was so frightened that she opened her eyes suddenly, because she knew that Sister-in-law Li would not have such strength.

"You put it just now...... Just that ...... What pear blossom ...... Open, tell me again! A magnetic, drunken male voice remembered.

Sister-in-law Li didn't care about anything else at this time, and quickly slapped the man's hand and shouted, "Let go!" Let go! We're not the girls in the building, she's a married woman. ”

Lu Caiqing was in good spirits, but he was suddenly interrupted by him, and he was suddenly angry, and he shook the man's big hand vigorously, and said angrily: "What flowers don't bloom!" You've drunk too much, I'm a redneck not what I said, let it go. ”

"Say it again...... "The man means that if you say it again, I will let you go, Lu Caiqing misunderstood, thinking that he was calling for the board and letting him say the previous words again.

Lu Caiqing thought that he didn't provoke him, he recruited such a drunkard for no reason, and said it again: "I said, what flowers don't bloom!" You've drunk too much, I'm a redneck not what I said, let it go. ”

"You~ Say it again!" The man didn't hear the answer in his heart, and yelled again.

Lu Caiqing was so angry that he didn't break it for a long time, and he took a bite on the back of his big hand in a hurry. The man was bitten and painful, and suddenly let go of his hand.

Sister-in-law Li hurriedly protected Lu Caiqing behind her, and said stumblingly: "Hey! We...... Not intentionally, yes...... You're the one who is making trouble with us. ”

The man was more than half awake from the bitten wine, looked at the clear tooth marks on the back of his hand, and thought that this girl was really ruthless, and just as he was about to raise his head to speak, he saw the young man come out.

"Let's go inside! The bustard is waiting for you above! The young man said.

Sister-in-law Li saw Lu Caiqing and walked upstairs as if fleeing for her life, Lu Caiqing also regretted a little at this time, the action just now was indeed a bit excessive, after all, people have no malice, looked back at his bloodstained tooth marks, a little unbearable.

The unbearable little movements in her eyes were still in the eyes of the man, and she said in her heart, although the little girl is spicy, she is still kind-hearted, but no one dares to disobey me like this in this realm, girl, you are the first.

Stretched out his hand to summon the young man, whispered a few words, then straightened up, looked at the tooth marks on his hand, and then looked meaningfully at the back of Lu Caiqing leaving and pondered.

Lu Caiqing and Sister-in-law Li went up to the second floor, the door diagonally opened, and the two entered the room directly, just seeing an old woman in her fifties who looked like an old bustard sitting at the table.

raised his eyes to look at the two of them, and then moved his gaze to the cigarette pouch pot in his mouth, took a puff and spit out the smoke ring, and then said unhurriedly: "What about Mrs. Chen?" Why did you change people today? I don't do business with strangers. ”

Seeing this, Sister-in-law Li was stunned again, and Lu Caiqing replied unhurriedly: "Mother Lin! I am Chen's daughter-in-law, this is my neighbor Li's sister-in-law, only because my mother-in-law is sick, can't go out and is afraid of delaying Lin's mother's time, so I brought the embroidery over. ”

Lin Laobuar listened, and then carefully raised her eyes to look at the little girl who was not in a hurry or impatient, she and Mrs. Chen have been getting along for a long time, and the situation at home is generally understood, and when she heard her say that she is Mrs. Chen's daughter-in-law, she asked suspiciously: "Erlang is a bastard gambler, and your parents are ruthless?" ”

"Mother Lin is wrong, it's not Erlang, I'm Lu Caiqing, Chen Ming and Chen Dalang's daughter-in-law!"

Lin Laobuar gouged out his ears and said in disbelief: "That Da Lang is a person who has been ill for a long time, and you are his daughter-in-law?" ”

At this time, Sister-in-law Li finally said: "Mother Lin! Da Lang had died not long ago, so Cai Qing's mother-in-law couldn't afford to be seriously ill. ”

Mother Lin was even more incredible when she heard this, stood up, walked around her, and said after a long time: "This child is really hard, such a good face, such a good figure, although the appearance is not one in a hundred, but it is also beautiful and beautiful, it is really a flower inserted in cow dung." ”
