West Flower Hall of Ningguo Mansion.

Jia Zhen had already prepared a table of banquets, and Xue Pan had already arrived, but there was no shadow of Baoyu.

Jia Zhen saw the two of them and smiled: "Just wait for you two brothers, take a seat!" Let's have a few drinks of food today! ”

Jia Lianyin asked, "Isn't there still Brother Bao?" Don't you wait for him? ”

Xue Pan said: "Hey, don't wait! My mother said that she wouldn't let Baoyu mess with me, for fear that I would bring him badly, I heard that Brother Zhen was here to drink and tell stories, so she specially called Baoyu to Lixiang Courtyard, what are you waiting for him to do?

Brother Zhen, Second Brother Lian, you are commenting on theory, why did you learn badly when you followed me? ”

Everyone laughed, and Jia Lian said: "The bad thing is that you can't learn, and you must learn a few hands when you eat, drink, prostitute and gamble." ”

Xue Pan laughed: "It's like you two brothers can learn well!" ”

It turned out that the Xue family also had several properties in Beijing, and Xue Pan was reluctant to live in Jiafu at first, for fear that his uncle-in-law Jia Zheng would be uncomfortable with him being strict.

Helplessly, the mother insisted on being here, and Jia was very diligent in the house, so she had to stay for the time being, while making people clean her house and then move to the past.

Who knew that when he stayed, he found that although Jia Zheng was said to be a dull and conservative person, they didn't discipline him much.

only lived for a short time, and Xue Pan was familiar with the children of Jia Mansion from Jia Zhen to Jia Lian to some side branches.

Today's one is the host, tomorrow's one invites you to eat and drink and listen to the play, and the cockfighting and lackeys sleep in the willows every day, Xue Pan only feels that he is ten times happier than in Jinling.

Moreover, this Lixiangyuan is a separate small courtyard, and there is a street door that is not opened, so you can enter and exit at will, which is also very convenient.

Xue Pan also let go of moving out and living alone.

As soon as everyone took their seats, Xue Pan clamored for Jia Zhen to invite the storyteller out.

Jia Zhen hurriedly ordered to go down, and after a while, a forty-year-old ancestor came up.

After greeting everyone, Jia Zhen said, "Tell us two of your fresh stories to our brothers!" ”

The storyteller said yes and told a picture.

The storyteller spoke eloquently, and everyone listened to it.

Unconsciously finished telling the story, Xue Pan smacked his lips and sighed: "This Zhang is also a little blessed, he can be resurrected after being eaten by someone!" ”

Jia Zhen smiled: "I'm afraid that you are not envious that he can come back from the dead, but envy him for sleeping with a stunning female ghost, right?" ”

Jia Lian also smiled: "Zhang Sheng was eaten by a female ghost, and his mother-in-law went to eat the beggar's phlegm and saliva, and then spit it out for him to be careful, Brother Xue, do you have such a person to care about you?" ”

Xue Pan said: "Hi! The two brothers made fun of me again, knowing that I was not married, where did I come from?

There is a one named Xiangling who bought it back from Jinling, but my mother said that she was still young and refused to let me round the house!

I don't have to be the host tomorrow, and our brothers will go to Cuiyun Building to have fun! ”

Jia Zhen and Jia Lian all said yes, and then instructed the storyteller: "Go on, talk about two more good things, and the master will reward you heavily!" ”

Mr. Storyteller agreed and told the stories of Nie Xiaoqian, Xin Shisi Niang and others, and Jia Zhen and the others listened to it with relish.

Xue Pan said bluntly: "In the end, it is still prosperous and interesting in the capital, and even people have never heard of books!"

It's not like in the teahouse in Jinling City, it's always those few bridges that are turned over and over, and I'm tired of listening to it for a long time. ”

After three rounds of food and five flavors, Jia Lian and Xue Pan got up and left the table to clean their hands outside.

When Jia Zhen got the opportunity, she squinted and asked Jia Lu, "Third brother, is this story good today?" Can I eat and drink? ”

Jia Lu agreed, and Jia Zhen asked again: "Brother Lu, why can't I turn the stone into jade according to the method you gave me last time?" ”

"Huh? Brother Jane, what do you say? Why can't I understand? Can this stone be turned into jade? Jia Lu looked surprised.

"Are you ......" Jia Zhen once suspected that she had drunk too much and hallucinated: "Are you drunk?" Have you forgotten the method you taught me how to turn fossils into jade? ”

Jia Lu looked at Jia Zhen like an idiot: "Brother Zhen, are you okay?" Is there still that kind of immortal law in the world? ”

Jia Zhen was furious: "Good boy, are you playing with me?" You see I don't tell you what you've done......"

Jia Lu said with a smile: "Sure enough, Brother Zhen drank too much, or after a while, when Second Brother Lian and Brother Xue come back, let's ask them, have you heard of the method of turning fossils into jade?"

I do have some jade artifacts, but they have already been handed over to the eldest lady, if you like you to say it earlier, now these jade artifacts are not in my hands. ”

As he was talking, it was Jia Lian and Xue Pan who came back, looking at Jia Zhen and Jia Lu's two crickets cooing, Xue Pan smiled and said, "What are you two brothers planning there?" ”

Without waiting for Jia Zhen to speak, Jia Lu smiled and said: "You can't guess anymore, it turns out that Brother Zhen can also tell jokes!" ”

Jia Lian smiled and asked, "Oh? What joke did Big Brother Jen tell? ”

Jia Lu said with a smile: "Brother Zhen said that he has a way to fossilize into jade, second brother, do you laugh or not?" I swear to tell me it's true~"

Jia Lian laughed when he heard this: "Brother Zhen, it's not that my brother said you, although Brother Lu is young, he is already a person who has won the show, you think he is so easy to deceive as an ordinary child?" ”

"Hehe, yes, yes, it's a show, it's not easy to deceive......" Jia Zhen looked at Jia Lu with a sneer, and a trace of anger flashed in her eyes.

Jia Lu was still laughing, as if she had really heard Jia Zhen tell a joke.

sat down and ate a few glasses of wine, but seeing that Jia Zhen didn't seem to be in a good mood, Jia Lian excused himself and dispersed.

When I returned to the inner house of Rongguo Mansion, I passed by Jia's mother's house and heard the sound of a tea cup breaking from Baoyu's room.

Then I heard Baoyu shouting in the house: "What kind of grandmother is she?" You honor her so much?

It's just that I fed her for a few days when I was a kid! Now he is used to being older than his ancestors! Kicked out and everyone clean! ”

Jia Lian and Jia Lu glanced at each other and said, "Go in and take a look?" ”

When I entered the house, I saw Baoyu sitting there with a flushed face and a drunken body, a tea cup on the ground was broken to pieces, and Musk Yue was busy cleaning up the debris.

The little girl's skirt named Qianxue was also wet with tea, and she didn't dare to say a word while standing there, attacking people on the side to persuade Baoyu softly.

Jia Lianyin asked, "What's wrong?" Who provoked Brother Bao to lose such a big temper at night? ”

Baoyu stood up and said, "Second Brother Lian, tell me, this Li Naizi came to my house, and when she saw any snacks, she took them back to her house for her grandson to eat, and when she saw that I had good tea, she also ate it by herself, what is this called?" What am I doing with one of my ancestors in the house?

Second Brother Lian, when you go back, tell Sister Feng that you will get her out tomorrow! ”

The attacker hurriedly persuaded: "The second master should say a few words, he has such a big temper after eating a little wine, wouldn't it be bothersome to wake up the old lady at night?" ”

Before the words fell, sure enough, the mandarin duck came over and asked, "The old lady heard the noise in Bao Erye's house, let me ask what's wrong." ”

The attacker hurriedly said: "It's nothing, I broke the teacup by mistake, which annoyed the second master and scolded me twice, irrelevant." ”

When Baoyu heard this, he was silent.

Jia Lian didn't bother to care about this matter, but when he saw that Jia's mother had sent someone to ask, he went out with Jia Lu.

Attacker: "You clean up the house and serve the second master Bao to sleep, and I will talk back to the old lady." ”
