The Red Mansions

Chapter 26 Seeing Jia Zhen

Cui Hong Lou

This place is located in Yongle Square, which is regarded as one of the gold-selling caves for the dignitaries and dignitaries of the Han Dynasty. In the dark night, a string of pink lanterns hanging on the corner of the eaves exudes an ambiguous light.

On the second floor, in a beautifully furnished and magnificent large wing room, Jia Zhen, wearing a Futou and wearing a brown silk dress, is holding a woman with almond eyes, peach cheeks, and rosy cheeks in her arms, and her big hand is inserted into the skirt of the woman. , the woman was carrying a wine jug, pouring wine for Jia Zhen with a smile, and two geisha not far away were singing Kunqu opera.

Jia Lian, who was wearing a moon-white regular shirt and a pink turban on her head, accompanied her.

Second Master Lian was also holding a woman with a beautiful face and graceful figure in his arms, but she was the red card Ruyan girl from Cuihonglou.

Second Master Lian was tall and handsome, even the smile on the bright face of the beautiful beauty in his arms was much warmer.

Taking a sideways glance, Jia Zhen cursed inwardly, Sister Yao just likes Qiaoer.

Then I couldn't help but think of the little lady of the Qin family, her beautiful face, her charming figure...appeared in front of my eyes, and then I looked at the vulgar fans, I just felt dull, frowned, Looking at the servant who was waiting on the side, he asked, "What time has it been? Go and see why Brother Rong and Jia Heng haven't come yet!"

The boy left the box and went down the stairs.

Jia Lian said with a smile: "Brother Zhen, please be safe and don't be impatient. I think Jia Heng is also a playful person. Didn't he go out with Brother Rong before, and I heard that Brother Zhen is entertaining him here, so I can't catch up with him." Baba come here?"

It turned out that in the afternoon, under Jia Zhen's "torture", Jia Rong told Jia Heng and his usual words and deeds, good guy, when a few people heard it, Jia Zhen's first thought was that the rich have a conscience, and the poor have a conspiracy , If you are too poor, you think you have too little money!
If you get poor, it's probably because you want to take him off!

What's more, Sister Feng was clever and asked Jia Rong, how much silver did she take to persuade Jia Heng to withdraw?
Under Jia Zhen's fierce gaze, only 200 taels of the 100 taels were left, and Jia Zhen was so angry that she asked for family law on the spot.

Thanks to Sister Feng and Jia Lian's persuasion, Jia Zhen gave up.

Jia Zhen, who thought she "solved the case", felt that it was mostly because of this situation.

Jia Zhen twirled her beard under her chin with her hands, her expression was a little cold, and she scolded: "This is a thing of no king's law! I still don't believe Rong'er said that he is very brave and ruthless. If he thinks the money is too little, I will give him seven or eight hundred taels of silver. Just let him marry a good son, why bother to hurt others, and rebelled so far, it is really an uneducated bastard!"

He spent all his money this time, playing hard and soft, and insisted on accomplishing this.

Jia Lian said with a smile: "Seven to eight hundred taels of silver, and you can marry a third wife. You can say that ten thousand gold is not easy. Young people don't know that a penny is hard for a hero."

Seven 800 taels of silver, what kind of person can't marry?He usually doesn't spend so much in a year.

Every time I used money, I asked Sister Feng repeatedly, but Sister Feng laughed and cursed, but she still didn't give it.

"Wait for him to come over later, the second brother will be more on the sidelines." Jia Zhen said.

This is a red face and a bad face.

Jia Lian smiled and said, "Brother Zhen, don't worry, that's natural."

Afterwards, Jia Zhen's face was stern, and she sneered, "If you don't eat the toast and eat the fine wine, don't blame me for disregarding the righteousness of the same clan!"

Jia Lian watched this scene, although he still had a smile on his handsome face, but secretly shook his head in his heart.

Brother Zhen is good everywhere, but he is too stubborn in everything, what kind of brother Rong can't get married?Do you have to snatch Jia Heng's?The little lady of the Qin family will not marry even after leaving her. The appearance of this demon looks like he is going to get married.

Lian Er, who is not fussy about eating dirty or smelly, obviously can't understand Jia Zhen, a bewildered person.

The two brothers were talking, when they saw someone coming from the stairs, and then the boy said excitedly: "Master, Uncle Rong and Jia Heng are here."

Because Jia Zhen hated it, otherwise, it would be reasonable for the servant to call out to Master Heng.

Hearing that Jia Heng was coming, Jia Zhen was overjoyed, and subconsciously got up to meet her, but she reacted suddenly when her butt was a little off the stool, sat down slowly, and asked him to welcome him, is it worthy?

While talking, Jia Rong came with a young man in warrior attire. The young man's hair was tied up with a blue scarf. There is also a black scabbard, ancient and clumsy sword hanging in the room.

It's not too much for a scholar to go out with a sword in the middle of the night, right?

Jia Zhen didn't know why, looking at the face hidden in the dark against the octagonal lights in the corridor, her heart froze slightly, but in an instant, this absurd thought was suppressed in her heart.

He is the majestic leader of the Ning Kingdom, the third-rank general Wei Lie, the head of the Jia family, would he be afraid of a yellow-mouthed child?

Speaking of which, this is still the first meeting between Jia Zhen and Jia Heng. The description and imagination of the teenagers in my heart, such as Jia Rong and Jia Yun from the clan, should come in timidly.

But facing a pair of quiet eyes, I feel a little uncomfortable.

On the contrary, Jia Lian didn't have so much experience, with a warm smile on his face, he stood up and greeted him: "This must be Brother Jia Heng, I've heard Brother Heng's name for a few days, and when I saw him today, he really is a handsome man. Dignified, walking like a dragon and walking like a tiger, a young hero."

Second Master Lian was still good at dealing with people. There was a gentle smile on his handsome face. Jia Heng couldn't easily reach out and hit the smiling face. He cupped his hands and said, "Second Brother Lian's name is something I have admired for a long time."

The No.1 wife lover in Dream of Red Mansions, Lian Er, how could he not know?
This is Cao Gong's writing, if Li Yu's writing, the last forty chapters of the Red Mansion must be arranged for Lian Er to come out, the natural law recurs, and the plot of retribution is unhappy.

Jia Lian smiled even wider and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, it's a pleasure to meet you, brother Jia, please sit down."

During the conversation, the host and guest sat down.

Jia Lian and Jia Zhen exchanged glances, and Jia Zhen waved her hand, making the geisha who was singing Kunqu opera back away, and then a fragrance like musk deer and orchid floated, a woman with a beautiful face and graceful figure came in full stride, with a hand in her hand. Covering her face with Concubine Xiang's fan, she said with a sweet smile, "This Lord Heng..."

Jia Heng frowned and said, "What is this for!"

Seeing this, Jia Lian smiled and said, "I thought Brother Heng was young, so you and I might as well be more casual."

Jia Heng said indifferently: "I don't need these. When I am young, my blood is not stable, and the guard is in the sex."

Jia Lian's complexion froze, but the smile on his face remained undiminished, and he said, "Brother is reckless."

As he spoke, he winked at the woman, who smiled lightly, and stepped back to the side without paying attention.

There was anger on Jia Zhen's face, she sneered, her eyes darkened, and said: "Brother Heng's face is getting bigger and bigger, I asked you several times for my brother's question, and finally came here for a while, so I can entertain you , but there is such a reason, those who don’t know, think that we are the ones who are usually frivolous, and don’t know how to love the clan.”

Jia Lian frowned when he heard the words, it was full of gunpowder when he came up, and his posture was not right.

He hurriedly added a sentence, and said with a smile: "Brother Heng also goes to the East Mansion on weekdays. I heard that he is closer to Brother Rong. Maybe it is because we are not very familiar with you and my brother for a while, so it is not easy to get close rashly."

This is talking nonsense with open eyes, when will the son of the Jia clan's first wife play with Shuzhi?

Jia Heng sneered in his heart, he was reborn in the original book of the Red Chamber, when the Qin family in Ningguo Mansion passed away, he showed his face and came to serve as a servant.

That was Jia Heng's only first appearance.

Jia Rong smiled and said yes again and again, saying: "Speaking of which, Uncle Heng and nephew are about the same age, but they are closer in normal times and often play tricks together. Outsiders often say that they are like brothers. .”

Jia Heng thought: "So, you can take away your brother's marriage?"

On the other side, seeing that Jia Heng didn't speak, but remained silent, Jia Zhen also suppressed her anger, coughed, and said, "Since Brother Heng and Brother Rong are having a good time, it's easy to talk about. Where is Brother Rong?" I was thinking that I am not too young anymore, so I should look for a good relative to take care of me. As a father, I was also in a hurry. I finally picked the daughter of Qin Ye’s family for him, but it’s only good to ask You know, we made a baby marriage in the early years, and I heard that the betrothed person is Brother Heng?"
