The place in front of Dengxian Pavilion is vast, and the stage is set up here.

Tables and chairs were placed under the stage early, Li Weijian heard the voice, so he asked the second girl to welcome the spring first, and he waited for a while before Shi Shiran came out.

Mother Jia, Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue, You Shi, and Wang Xifeng gathered in one place, Daiyu, Baochai, and Sanchun were in one place, and Baoyu was like a monkey scurrying around in two places; In another place, there were only two people seated, one on crutches and the other on his arms, but Jia Qiang and Jia Rong, who had not been seen for a long time.

A mother-in-law came over and guided: "Fourth Master Jian will sit with Uncle Rong and Second Master Qiang first, this scene is about to start." ”

"Okay."

Li Weijian was about to pass, Hongyu and Xiuying caught a glimpse, and they were about to step forward to serve, but Li Weijian waved his hand to stop them. He walked straight over and said with a smile: "Brother Rong, Brother Qiang'er's injuries are healed?" ”

Jia Qiang's face was uncomfortable, but Jia Rong gave up her hand as if nothing happened: "Fourth Uncle Lao Jian is worried, and my nephew's arm is only afraid that he will have to take some time." ”

Li Weijian wondered in his heart, and said with a bow on his face: "Also, it is not good to move after a hundred days of breaking your muscles and bones." If you are injured again, you must prevent you from sitting down for days and getting sick. ”

"What Uncle Jian said is, sit down quickly."

Li Weijian opened his robe and sat down, a gong sounded, followed the bangzi for a while, and the scene began. He didn't care about watching the play, only peeked at the two people next to him. That Jia Qiang wants some face, and this time she is uncomfortable; Jia Rong didn't know why, as if she didn't care at all?

There was no reason for that good fight, and the two little brothers discussed it carefully afterwards, but the second monk was confused. When the Xue family lost the foundation of the imperial businessman, the two of them thought about it, and all those who dared to offend Li Weijian did not fall well? Doesn't that mean that the beating was instigated by Li Weijian behind the scenes?

There is no basis for such a concern, but the two have different thoughts. Jia Qiang went out to live by himself, he didn't have much power, he didn't dare to retaliate even if he wanted to; That Jia Rong hated it at first, but when Li Weijian took advantage of the situation, first the water company made millions of taels of silver, and then had a good relationship with King Zhongyong, and even apprenticed to Yan Xiyao.

Especially after apprenticing to Yan Xiyao, the little caution in Jia Rong's heart suddenly dispersed. He knows that such a character is no longer something he can afford to provoke, don't say it's him, even his son Jia Zhen has to weigh it.

This Jia Rong was beaten by Jia Zhen since she was a child, and was robbed of her daughter-in-law by Lao Tzu, her heart has long been distorted, and her temperament is arbitrary and stubborn, especially like women with high seniority; The second is flattering.

Now that Li Weijian is gaining momentum, this Jia Rong suddenly turned his face. If Li Weijian has a short stirrup in the future, I am afraid that this guy will jump out and fall into the well again, and count the old and new hatreds together.

Li Weijian didn't know Jia Rong's thoughts, and when he saw that he was flattering on his face, he was extremely disgusted in his heart, and he felt that this Wang Ba was so tired of how he looked at it.

Because he didn't have the heart to speak, he just watched the stage babbling and singing excerpts, but his mind had already wandered out of the world, and he didn't know where to go.

After a while, he was still singing on stage, and the fragrant wind was blowing beside him. More than a dozen little maids brought melons and fruits to the table, and then a beautiful shadow came to Dejia's mother's table.

Qin Keqing said with a smile: "I was busy with Zhang Luo just now, I just got free at this time, can the old lady still be satisfied?" If you have anything to think about, tell me, and I'll go to Zhangluo again. ”

Mother Jia smiled and said: "Brother Rong's daughter-in-law don't be busy, they are all their own relatives, where can they use such a foreign way?" Come, you can sit too, let's watch the play together. ”

Qin Keqing responded, moved the lotus step, sat down next to You's family, and turned his head to make it easier for Wang Xifeng on the side to whisper.

Li Weijian glanced at it a few times, turned his head to look at Jia Rong again, and saw that this guy was gone. looked down, but saw that this guy leaned over and grabbed the maid's feet, and was playing with it unscrupulously.

The maid didn't dare to make a sound, her face was red, and she didn't dare to move.

Looking at Jia Qiang again, there is no different color on her face, and she thinks she is used to it. Jia Qiang coughed, raised the teacup, and said, "Fourth Uncle Jian, my nephew replaces wine with tea, and toasts Fourth Uncle with a glass." ”

"Okay."

When Jia Rong heard this, she reluctantly got out from under the table, without any guilt on her face, and said with a smile: "It's also a nephew, it was all the nephews' fault before, and the fourth uncle has a lot of them, so don't worry about us." ”

"Oh, it's easy to say."

Li Weijian said on his lips, but he secretly thought in his heart, this Jia Rong looked at Qin Keqing as a completely ruthless friendship. Also, Qin Keqing is the forbidden body of the eldest master Jia Zhen, but I am afraid that Jia Rong's observation will be wrong.

How this Ning Guofu messed up has nothing to do with him, Li Weijian is just a little bit of a gossip in his mind.

After that, the excerpts of this play were sung one after another, and they were sung from noon to Shen Shi, and then the wine banquet came up. The eldest lord Jia Yu had just had a stroke, and this son was recuperating, and Mrs. Xing was taking care of it on the side, so it was naturally not easy to come. The rest of Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen rushed over at the right time.

Jia Lian didn't come here for some reason.

Jia Zhen caught a glimpse of Li Weijian, so she beckoned him to eat and drink together. Li Weijian couldn't refuse, so he had to get up and sit with Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen.

Jia Yu, who smelled like him, didn't come, and there was an old-fashioned Jia Zheng sitting on the side, and Jia Zhen couldn't do anything wanton, so the table was a little dull. On the contrary, it was the women and girls who made a lot of laughter through the screen.

Somehow, he suddenly mentioned the congratulatory gifts, and the sisters said it one by one, Xiangyun suddenly remembered that Li Weijian had sold Guanzi before, because he said: "Yes, what kind of congratulatory gift did Fourth Brother Jian give?" Have you ever seen my brother? ”

Baoyu said: "Look at the thick stack of booklets, but I haven't opened them." My sister wants to know, and I'll find out when I turn it over later. ”

Baochai glanced at the adjacent table, and saw that Mrs. Wang was just looking at the future, so she smiled and said, "I know a thing or two." ”

Bao Yuqi said: "How does Sister Bao know? ”

"I bumped into Fourth Brother Jian in the garden, and after saying a few words, he mentioned it."

"Oh? Let's talk about it quickly, what did Fourth Brother Jian give? Xiangyun urged.

Sister Bao covered her mouth and smiled, smiled brightly and movingly, and said: "But it's not unusual, the fourth brother of Jian begged Zhan Chong, the imperial history of the city patrol, and got some notes from Zhan Chong. The fourth brother said that Zhan Imperial Envoy was born in the second class, and his skills were excellent, and Brother Bao read the collection of annotations of his annotations, and said that he would be able to end up sooner in the future. ”

Xiangyun pursed his lips and said, "Don't talk about what is hidden, what is so strange about it, the fourth brother of Jian is really good at selling Guanzi." ”

Her voice fell, but she saw that Baoyu's face gradually became cold. Just as he was about to ask, he saw Baoyu slamming the wine glass on the table: "What Zhan Yushi, what provokes Yushi, it's just a national thief who is used to drilling camps, his text must be stinky, I'm a good person, won't I be polluted after reading that stinky article?" ”

Xu is voice was a little louder, and he was being heard by Jia Zheng across the screen. Hearing Baoyu say this, where could Jia Zheng endure it?

Smack-

Jia Zheng slapped the table and scolded: "Ignorant fool! All day long, I know that the turbidity is on my lips, and I learn some exquisite naughty! Zhan Yu's history is rich in five cars, and the articles in the book are all applauded when the great uncle sees it, and it will become stinky when he is born to you!

In this way, you are begging to go to private school, but you have changed your sex, and there is always some growth. Now it seems that I am afraid that I am wrong. You are so stubborn, I am afraid that every day the family is only playing naughty in private, and the sage books are all read into the dog's stomach! Let's go, even if that's the case, you won't study in the future, just stay in the inner house and mix up, so as not to lose the face of my Jia family! ”

Jia Zheng's words were extremely serious, and Baoyu was suddenly so shocked that he didn't dare to speak. Mrs. Wang hurriedly went over and hugged Baoyu, and said through the screen: "Don't talk about it, master, today is Baoyu's son." ”

"You're going to say such a bastard thing?"

Mother Jia couldn't sit still, and said with a cane: "Give birth well, the old woman and son take this opportunity to have a good time, I think it's in the way of the master's eyes." Even so, I won't do it in this life in the future, lest the lord be official again. ”

"Mother—"

Jia Zheng suddenly didn't know what to say, Jia Zhen hurriedly got up and comforted: "Second uncle don't say a word, Brother Bao is still young, it's good when he's older." ”

Jia Zheng was so depressed that he trembled, he had long looked at Baoyu unpleasantly, and he wanted to teach a lesson but was always stopped by Jia's mother. So Shi Shiran sighed and sat down.

After such an incident, the interest in this banquet naturally failed.

After singing another excerpt, Jia's mother said that she was tired and led people back. Mother Jia was leaving, and Mrs. Wang, Wang Xifeng and others were with her, so this good banquet dispersed.

A group of warblers and Yanyan went out, Li Weijian accompanied Jia Zhen and Jia Zheng did not move, and the two girls glanced at them when they passed by in the spring, their eyes were full of wonder, thinking that they were curious about why Li Weijian sent the notes of the collection of essays; Daiyu also looked at the general when she passed by, frowned slightly, and was a little displeased; Bao Chai also looked over when he passed by, and the two glanced at each other, Sister Bao's face was as flat as a lake, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

When Yingying Yanyan walked by, Li Weijian got up and poured wine for Jia Zheng, and then picked up the wine cup and said annoyedly: "But it's mine, it's not my fault, it's not that I sent Shiwen, and Brother Bao won't say this." ”

Jia Zheng frowned and waved his hand: "What does this have to do with resurrection?" It's all that beast doesn't grow! ”

After saying that, Jia Zheng drank a glass of wine, got up and said, "That's it for today." Then he flicked his sleeves and walked away.

Jia Zheng wanted to leave, Li Weijian didn't want to stay long, so he hurriedly said goodbye and followed Jia Zheng out of Ningguo Mansion by car.

In the car, he saw Jia Zheng's face was depressed, so he comforted: "Uncle Shi, don't worry, Brother Bao is still young, and he will grow into it when he opens his mind in the future." ”

Jia Zheng snorted coldly: "A stubborn stone, how can you talk about growth?" Don't mention him, it's really unpleasant to say. ”

After a while, the carriage entered the Rongguo Mansion from the corner gate, and the two got out of the car, Jia Zheng went to Aunt Zhao's courtyard along the road, and Li Weijian waited in front of the Yimen for a while, and when Hongyu and Xiuying arrived together, they led the two to go inside.

After walking a short distance, he was about to pass through the hall, and Hongyu said, "Fourth master, Second Master Bao came out of the old lady's courtyard." ”

"Oh?" Li Weijian turned around and saw Baoyu walking briskly, followed by a few maids.

He entered the hall and took advantage of the cover of night, but he was never looked at by Baoyu. Seeing Baoyu passing through the hall, he thought in his heart, this is going to Qifei Zhai again.

It's getting late at this time, what are you going to do in Qihaizhai? Then it's the same as the attack, right?

He thought for a moment, and then paced towards his small courtyard. Seeing that he was about to get to the door of the small courtyard, he suddenly saw a group of people coming out of the east corner gate, but it was Baochai who led the maid Ying'er and others to come out.

Li Weijian's heart moved, and he immediately stopped and greeted with a smile: "Sister Xue Fang came back from the old lady?" ”

"Yes." Baochai sighed and said: "I just said some words of comfort to Brother Bao in the room, but for some reason he was annoyed, and he led the maid away regardless of it." ”

Li Weijian said: "I just looked at Brother Bao as if he was going to Qihaizhai." ”

Baochai said: "He annoyed me this time, and I will look for him again when he is angry in the future." ”

Li Weijian bowed his head and said meaningfully: "Brother Xu Shibao has never been angry with Sister Xue......

Baochai raised his eyes and said, "If you haven't been angry, how can you hide in Qihail Zhai at night?" ”

"Brother Bao...... After all, I've grown up. Dropping a sentence, Li Weijian arched his hand: "Sister go slowly, I'll go back and rest first." ”

"Huh? Oh, the thrifty fourth brother walks slowly. ”

Li Weijian led Hongyu and Xiuying into the small courtyard, and Baochai stood on the spot for a long time without moving. Li Weijian's words were thought about repeatedly in his mind, Baochai is precocious, this time he already knows about people, where does he not know what Li Weijian means?

These days, Baochai and Aunt Xue have been talking a lot in private, and the small election is just illusory, and they can't be counted on for the time being; Aunt Xue means it openly and secretly, and Baochai understands it.

As far as Baochai is concerned, she doesn't care about how Baoyu makes flowers and willows, she just thinks about being Mrs. Baoyu, and then urging Baoyu to move forward, and also earning her a life, so that she can return to protect the Xue family.

However, there is still a Daiyu in Jia's mother's room, which came a few years ago, and grew up with Baoyu, and the friendship is not comparable to others.

She thought for a moment, then suddenly turned around and entered the East Corner Gate again.

Ying'er said, "Girl, where is this going?" ”

Baochai said: "Back to the old lady's room, I just annoyed Brother Bao, why don't I find Sister Lin to help talk about it." Otherwise, sooner or later, this thing will be a pimple. ”

Na Ying'er is not stupid, and she knows what Baochai's idea is when she turns around slightly, because she laughs and says, "Girl, good idea." ”

At that moment, the master and servant hurriedly walked towards Jia's mother's courtyard, and Jia's mother was already sleepy and was resting in the room. Baochai and Mandarin Duck spoke, and then entered the room, and when they entered the blue gauze cupboard, they saw Daiyu holding a scroll and studying.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Daiyu put down the scroll and said, "Why did Sister Bao come back again?" ”

Baochai leaned over and smiled: "I don't iron it in my heart, I think I annoyed Brother Bao just now, and I don't want to be annoyed, for fear that the more I say, the more wrong it will be." Isn't this just looking for Sister Lin, thinking that Sister Lin will be a peacemaker and help make peace, so as not to make up for everyone to meet again in the future. ”

Daiyu was surprised: "Sister Bao actually asked me to be a peacemaker?" ”

Baochai smiled: "Sister Lin and Brother Bao grew up together since childhood, your words are the most effective, who else can you find if you don't look for them?" ”
