The Coral of the Red Mansion Does Not Return

Hu is familiar with Jinling.

Jia Hu waved the travel notes in his hand to him.

"No wonder," Zhou Ren snatched it over to look at it, and muttered, "I'm still surprised that you are not familiar with Linyuan Pavilion. ——Have you been to all these places?"

"No," Jia Hu was in a good mood, he planned to take a good look at Jinling before the government examination.

Zhou Ren's eyes lit up, he obviously understood Jia Hu's plan, and strongly demanded to join.

"Stop reviewing the scriptures?" Jia Hu squinted.

Zhou Ren laughed.

Later, the two of them reached their feet and fell asleep. Zhou Ren chattered all night, just thinking about where to go.At dawn, Jia Hu, who couldn't bear it anymore, drove him away, fell down and fell asleep by himself.

When he got up, he was faced with ambiguous eyes from everyone.

The author has something to say: I haven't updated it for so many days, I don't want to say anything anymore [Shame]

If it weren't for the thought that there are so many people waiting to see, I really wouldn't be able to hold on.

Woke up in the morning, finally free on Sunday, more than 4000 words, four or five hours, my hand speed slowed down again [crying]

☆, the leader in the field of rent collection (catch insects)

Facing the ambiguous gazes of the students, Jia Hu ignored them. What can a kid in his twenties do? [Beep——] Haven't developed well yet?

He proposed to invite a few new friends to play together, Lin Li declined with a wry smile, saying that he still needs to study the scriptures, Sun Muge was eager to try, but was defeated by Zhao Yi's warning eyes.

Jia Hu raised her eyebrows: "You..."

Zhao Yi hugged Sun Muge's waist possessively, speaking concisely as always, "Brother Qi."

Seeing that there was no one else nearby, Sun Muge didn't struggle, and acquiesced to Zhao Yi's words.

Jia Hu understood.

After bidding farewell to a few friends, Jia Hu took the cheerful Zhou Ren out for an outing.

Jia Hu: Why is this person so happy?How long has it been since you went out to let the wind go?

Zhou Ren: Hehehehe, I don’t know why, only two of us go out to play, so happy.Well, the maid that Jia Hu brought was really an eyesore.

Xia Yu: Uncle's new friends are weird.

Jia Hu is happy outside, and Lin Zhixiao and the others who stay in the old house are not idle.

Besides taking care of Jia Hu, Lin Zhixiao and Lai Er also came with other tasks assigned by Duke Rong.

The two prefectures of Ning and Rong have a lot of fields in Jinling, most of which are high-quality paddy fields.As early as when Lin Zhixiao was busy raiding the house, Lai Er took people to visit various villages.Lai Er was a stranger, and none of the servants in Jinling had ever seen him.He was also considered shrewd. He found a few local tenants and asked them to inquire about the rent of each village, and he quickly found out.

Lai Er wanted to sue Uncle Hu himself, but Uncle Hu didn't give him a chance, and Lin Zhixiao took all the credit for it.Who says honest people are really honest?Lin Zhixiao was really relentless in pushing out Lai Er.Should it be said that he is the old man appointed by Rong Guogong?

Lai Er was a little resentful, but also a little powerless.He is good at selling well to his master, but he can't get close to his master's spirit of life at all. Lin Zhixiao orders him like a small butler under him. Let him do things, but don't give him a chance to show his merits.

Can't sit still anymore!

Lai Er gritted his teeth and took the initiative to recommend himself to Lin Zhixiao, and wanted to follow him to Zhuangzi.

Unexpectedly, Lin Zhixiao only glanced at him with a half-smile, and agreed.

Lai Er was ecstatic, with his means, is he afraid that he won't be able to deal with a few villa heads?

When Lai Er came to Zhuangzi, he cried out in his heart that he had made a mistake.

Seeing that Lin Zhixiao entered Zhuangzi, he first called an old village chief over.

Lai Er was a little puzzled, and asked humbly: "Boss Lin, why did you call the village head of Zhujia Village? Shouldn't you call all the servants in charge of the village first?"

Lin Zhixiao nodded and said, "Huzi, take a few people and invite Zhuangtou here."

Huzi understood, he laughed a few times, and went to arrest people with a dozen men.

They broke in without notifying Zhuangtou at all. At this moment, Zhuangtou is probably dreaming with Meijiao Niang in his arms.

Sure enough, Zhuangtou was brought out disheveled.He yelled: "Who are you?! This is the territory of Rongguo Mansion! Rongguo Mansion! How dare you move our Duke's place!?"

Zhuangtou was startled and angry, and his harmonious movement was interrupted early in the morning, even if he was an individual, he would explode.

"Zhu Zhuangtou, long time no see."

Hearing a familiar voice, Zhu Zhuangtou turned around in surprise, and saw Lin Zhixiao standing there smiling.Hasn't he been abandoned by the master long ago? !

Zhu Zhuang looked like he had seen a ghost.

The other kidnapped people mentioned it in recent years. They didn't know the son of Lin Guanshi, the former Rongguo mansion, and one of them said rudely: "Which onion are you?"

Unexpectedly, Zhu Zhuangtou turned his head and spat, and the fat face of that man was baptized with spittle, and his whole body became demented.He is the No. [-] confidant under Zhu Zhuang's boss, and he rushes to stand up for everything, but he didn't expect to kick the iron plate this time.

Some of the other servants in the Zhuangzi, who had been rubbed by the fat pig, felt very happy, and their affection for Steward Lin was steadily rising.

Lin Zhixiao saw that he was savvy and asked someone to untie him.

Zhu Zhuangtou is a smooth person, as soon as Lin Zhixiao appeared, he knew that the old lady's tricks could not be hidden.The Duke of the State has always ignored the common affairs, Zhuangzi and everything are managed by the old lady's people, Lin Zhixiao's family is all old people, when the old lady was around, they were all in charge of Zhuangzi in Jinling.As soon as the old lady left, the old lady changed, and Zhu Zhuangtou offered his loyalty immediately, in exchange for the status of Zhuangtou.

These years, Zhuangzi has long been controlled by him, his eyes are rolling around, the old lady can't beat the Duke of the country, but his old lady's people, just based on what they have done for the old lady these years, he jumped into the Yellow River I can't wash it off either.

He probingly asked, "Why is Steward Lin here?"

Lin Zhixiao looked at him steadfastly, and Zhu Zhuangtou had a hope in his heart. Could it be that it was just a whim of the big house's Uncle Hu?That……

At this time, Lin Zhixiao shouted: "The Duke of the country already knows! You still haven't explained!"

Zhu Zhuangtou is not that easy to deceive, he asked aggressively: "Master of the country? What a big banner, the Lord of the Kingdom never cares about these common affairs, are you deceiving people?"

Lin Zhixiao looked at the servant in the village who looked at him suspiciously for a moment, and shouted: "Tiger!"

Then, introduce him to everyone: "This is Hu Zi, the son of one of the Duke's personal soldiers."

Huzi grinned at the crowd and shouted loudly: "Follow the order of the Duke of the country, and follow the instructions of Manager Lin!"

"Bring everyone here."

"Yes!"

The old village head of Zhujiazhuang was surrounded by dozens of men.

It’s over.

Zhu Zhuangtou fell to the ground.

Just when Zhuangtou was stubbornly resisting, Lai Er was also saying, hoping to make achievements before Lin Zhixiao.The uncle is very concerned about Zhuangzi, and now Lin Zhixiao can't ignore his credit.

"Old man, when will your field harvest?" Lai Er asked the old man gently.

This is Rongfu's largest Zhuangzi in Jinling, and the tenants are all villagers from nearby villages. This old man is the village head of the nearby Zhujia Village.

The old village head looked sad, and said tremblingly: "Master, this year's early rice will be harvested in two months. Don't worry, master, the rent will be paid." At the end, there was a prayer on his face. "My lord, there won't be a rent increase this year, right?"

Lai Er did not correct the address of the old village chief, and asked: "Old man, don't be afraid, we were sent by the Duke of the capital. I heard that the harvest in recent years has not been very good. The Lord sent us here. Ask, how is the life of the tenants?"

Bad harvest?Many tenants' ears are pricked up. The past few years have been a rare year of good weather. Even if [-]% of the rent is paid, everyone can barely get by.

Could it be that Zhuangtou was corrupt and was discovered by the people above?I don't know if Zhuangtou is deceiving people.

The people below whispered and talked a lot, a middle-aged man was pushed out, and he told cautiously: "Returning to the master, the gods have favored us these few years, and everyone can live on. We have paid the rent on time. Forty percent, enough enough."

The old village chief also said: "My lord, who knows when the heavens will reward me. If the rent is going to rise again, everyone will really not be able to pay it."

Seeing that he didn't eat oil and salt, Lai Er became a little impatient.He already knew that Zhuangtou received [-]% of the income, and this group of people didn't know what was going on, so how could they cover up for Zhuangtou?

Could it be that the village head and Zhuangtou are in the same boat?Lai Er looked suspiciously at the old village chief.

The old village chief accepted Lai Er's scrutiny frankly.

As an old man, the village chief has the wisdom given by life.He saw that this person in charge was a familiar face, he could see that he had been pampered since he was a child, his face was calm and honest, but there was a cunning hidden in his bones.

He is the same kind of person as Zhu Zhuangtou.

In the past few days, many villagers have reported that outsiders have come to inquire about Zuzi, and they have also heard that nobles from the capital have come, and the old village head is not sure whether it is the higher-ups who have come to inspect.

Zhu Zhuang is very powerful, and the people who come here are not good people at first glance, and there is no guarantee that they will not be bribed by him. The old village chief raised his vigilance when he saw Lai Er.

In fact, the old village chief's feeling was correct. If it wasn't for Lin Zhixiao, Lai Er would have blackmailed Zhuangtou, and then asked Zhuangtou to deal with these restless elements.However, Lin Zhixiao is really loyal. If he wants to stand out, he can't do too many small tricks.

Can't ask anything, Lai Er is a little frustrated.At this time, the people inside called in, so Lai Er had no choice but to admit it, how stubborn he was!He, Lai Er, hates these stubborn people who look like bulls the most. Wouldn't it be good to chase fame and fortune?It is said that having money can turn ghosts around?Why do you hurt each other so much Q_Q

After entering, the old village head first bowed repeatedly with a smile on his face: "Hello, Master Steward! Hello, Master Steward!"

Lin Zhixiao avoids it, and motions Huzi to help the old man.

"Old village chief, long time no see, how is your old man?"

The old village head looked at the baby in confusion, someone he knew?His old eyes were dim, and he struggled to see traces of his old friend from that old face: "Who are you? Are you Manager Xiaolin?"

The old village chief was excited.

Steward Lin was one of the stewards of Jinling's rent collectors in the early years, and he was sincere.When he was there, the head of the village never dared to charge more, because he would tell the master truthfully that he would not accept the trick of bribery.At that time, Guanshi Lin was accompanied by his son, who was just as nice. Everyone called him "Guanshi Xiaolin".The old village head was also fortunate that in the future, Manager Xiaolin would take over from his father, and they would be able to live as tenants in Zhujia Village all the time.Unexpectedly, they changed people later, and the rent also increased.

Thinking of this, the old village chief sighed: "Steward Xiaolin, oh, it's Steward Lin now. Is your father okay?"

Lin Zhixiao said sadly: "Father retired last year, and fell ill again in the spring of this year, otherwise he would have come to Jinling anyway. I heard that the master sent me to Jinling. Before I left, he was still struggling to get out of the field and join me. let's go."

The old village chief sighed: "This is what he has done all his life. When I was not the village chief, he followed me to collect rent. We are all old."

After recounting the old days, the two of them got down to business.Lin Zhixiao told him that the young master has come to Jinling, and the Duke of the State has left everything to the young master, and he is here to assist.

"I heard that Zhuangtou raised the rent to [-]%?"

The old village head said yes with a bitter face, and asked without hope, how should the village head increase the rent without telling the master?

Unexpectedly, Lin Zhixiao replied: "The head of the village did not lie about the rent, and the old lady's order is indeed [-]%."

"It's just hiding it from the other masters." Who asked the old lady to take care of the house.

The old village chief was surprised, "Then Zhuzhuangtou..."

Lin Zhixiao looked around at the tenants who came one after another, and raised his voice: "The Duke of the State said at the beginning that our Jia family also came from farming. In order to take care of the villagers, the rent is only [-]%. Now our uncle has arrived in Jinling I found out that Zhu Zhuangtou had raised the rent without telling the Duke, and he has already sent a letter to tell the Duke. Now the uncle ordered me to inform everyone specially, and the rent will still be only [-]% in the future. Zhu Zhuangtou is full of private pockets..."

The villagers who heard this made a commotion again. Seeing the old village head standing beside the steward smiling and nodding, and the old man saying that steward Lin's words could not be wrong, they gradually believed in him.

Later, after giving some instructions, the people in the Zhuangzi promoted a person to be appointed as the new head of the village, and Lin Zhixiao led someone to press Zhu Qian's head and left.

Then Lai Er watched Lin Zhixiao's solo show for three or four days with a livid face.

He didn't know that Lin Zhixiao knew Jin Ling so well that he knew who was trustworthy and who might belong to the old lady without asking.He dared to bet that he was not even familiar with the manager of the rent collector promoted by the old lady.He swears that when he returns, he must find out the situation of this opponent!

Manager Lin Aojiao: Xiao Mian, I am a leader in the rent collection industry!The kind that would stand my dad's test.

The author has something to say: before 12 o'clock~

Seeing that the collection is exactly 600, I am so happy. By the way, please support the author QAQ

☆、Jia Mansion Banquet

On this day, just after the government examination, Jia Hu was chatting and laughing with a few friends in a small pavilion on the hill outside the academy.

The pavilion is named "Sunrise East China Sea", and it is made of large bluestone slabs. It is quite different from the exquisite rockery built in deep houses and courtyards that Jia Hu usually sees, and it has a simple and simple style.The pavilion is built on the top of the mountain. When you are resting and taking a bath, there are always students from the academy who come here to watch the sunrise.

They come early in the morning to this great spot to watch the sunrise.There is not much rain in the mountains, but the air is always humid. I walked on a slightly muddy path and sat on a cool stone bench for a long time, waiting for a round of red sun to burst out and dye the world. The few people at the food court were all hungry and flustered.

After they each used some fresh water they brought, Jia Hu talked about family affairs: "The government test has passed, I'm afraid I have to go back to the old house."

Hearing this, Lin Li showed envy on his face.

Among them, Lin Li was the oldest, the only one who married a wife, and had a three-year-old son.His family is in the middle of Sichuan, and he can only go home during the Chinese New Year, Mid-Autumn Festival, or when the college is on long vacation.

Thinking of his three-year-old son, Lin Li sighed secretly, wondering if his son still remembered him.

Zhou Ren reminded: "In a few days, the dean will teach us students who are taking the college entrance examination. Remember to come back early."

Jia Hu warmly thanked her.

He had stayed in the academy for about two months, and had some friendship with these classmates, so he invited them and said: "Although the old house has been in disrepair for a long time, I can order someone to tidy up a few courtyards and come out."

Sun Muge was the first to respond.He is also from a wealthy family, and he is not at all hypocritical about these.Lin Li, on the other hand, hesitated for a moment, feeling that it was too troublesome.

Zhou Ren said bluntly: "What's the matter? It's all the servant's business, Brother Hu just give orders."

Lin Li had no choice but to agree.As for Zhao Yi, Mu Ge's opinion is his opinion.However, after a few people agreed on a time, Zhao Yi made a fortune and said, "I want a yard with Muge."

They took a shortcut when they came, and walked down along the Qingshiban road when they left. They were all young people, and they walked fast, and they arrived at the gate of the academy in about two quarters of an hour.

Back in the courtyard where several people lived, Lin Zhixiao was already waiting.Most of the things were in the old house, and Jia Hu didn't pack anything, so he returned to Jinling in a carriage.

After leaving the boundary of the academy, on the way, Steward Lin took out a letter, saying that it was sent by the Duke.

Jia Hu pulled it out to see that it was about Zhuangzi in Jinling.The letter said that Jinling has always been taken care of by Jia Mu, and there are a lot of moths that are obsequious.He also warned Jia Hu to focus on studying in the imperial examination and not to spend too much time on general affairs.

"Where are those Zhuangtou?"

"According to your instructions, everything related to the old lady will be sent to the village where the old lady is married."

"Is there anything wrong with Xia Yu?"

"Caught a second-class one and tampered with the things Xia Yu prepared to take out, but didn't alarm her."

Jia Hu paused and asked, "Who is it?"

Lin Zhixiao said a name, and there was a chuckle in the car.

The next day, around noon, the carriage sent to pick up people stopped at the middle gate.

The courtyard where Jia Hu lives alone is in the outer courtyard, not very far from the gate, just beside the small garden.

Along the way, Zhou Ren looked around and couldn't help but tut: "Brother Hu, your old house is not bad."

I saw trees, mountains and rocks everywhere in the house, extending in all directions, majestic and majestic. When we arrived at the small garden, Sun Muge took a look at the Yiran Pavilion on the west side, which spread its wings like a bird and stood on a high rockery, clamoring to go up to see it. .

Looking down from the pavilion, the entire garden and nearby courtyards are clear at a glance.In the garden, there are large fields of poppies, and the camellias, white magnolias, and purple magnolias are not inferior. There are also several peach blossoms, pear blossoms, plum blossoms, and crabapple.

Jia Hu pointed to a courtyard full of peach trees in the east, and said, "That's the peach courtyard where I live now."

The courtyard was submerged in the glowing peach blossoms, and one could faintly smell the fragrance of peach blossoms brought by the wind.

Sun Muge joked: "The peach blossoms are so bright, how did you choose your daughter's flower?"

Jia Hu smiled and remained silent.He likes peach blossoms, they bloom recklessly, brilliantly, even coquettishly.

Seeing Jia Hu's smile, Zhou Ren said, "I like peach blossoms too, what's wrong with peach blossoms?"

At this time, Lin Li cried out in surprise, interrupting their conversation: "Where does this living water come from?"

Zhao Yi carefully pointed out to Muge that under the cover of flowers and trees, where the vegetation was particularly lush, there was a stream of running water hidden in the distance, and a finger-long colorful fish could be vaguely seen swimming in the water.

Zhou Ren asked, "Where does the running water come from in Jinling City?"

"It probably came from the moat." Jia Hu said uncertainly.

After talking for a long time, several people were a little thirsty. The pavilion had already placed melons, fruits and side dishes, and warmed a pot of wine.When Sun Muge tasted it, it was the best pear blossom white.

At this moment, Lin Li said with distaste: "It's not yet noon, but it's not good to drink."

Jia Hu nodded yes, apologetically saying that she didn't think well.

Zhou Ren was upset, and it was rare that no one was in charge of him when he came out.Lin Li had no choice but to drink it at night.Zhou Ren smiled triumphantly.

Several servant girls came up one by one, removed the wine and replaced it with tea cups.Jia Hu opened his mouth and said: "The distinguished guest is here, call Xuelian to come over." He added: "I want the West Lake Longjing that just came out this year."

Zhou Ren said: "Aren't you? It's good to be accompanied by a beautiful woman. Zhao Yike will be jealous."

Sun Muge looked at him with the eyes of "you are a mortal".Among the few people, Sun Muge has a pair of peach blossom eyes and a handsome face. Wherever the eyes flow, the corners of the eyes and the brows are full of flair, and he is always favored by beauties.At this age, they have also been to the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, and Sun Muge is the most popular among the girls in the building.

Facing Zhao Yi's deep gaze, in order not to be caught in a sack, Jia Hu explained dumbfoundingly: "Where did you go? Xuelian is my mother's big maid, who is good at tea, so I asked her to come here."

In order to divert everyone's attention, Jia Hu pointed to several yards and introduced them to everyone.

In the end, Lin Li chose Xiangxueyuan in the sea of ​​snow, Zhou Ren chose Lanyuan, which was the closest to Taoyuan, and Sun Muge, under the knowing eyes of everyone, said rather bachelorly: "Zhao Yi and I live in Qiutangyuan."

Soon, Xuelian came up.

Everyone was disappointed, Sun Muge coaxed and said, she has a beautiful face, but unfortunately she is too old to speak.

Of course it was a joke.

Zhao Yi tasted it, the water was good, the tea was good, and the skill of the tea maker was not bad, but it was a pity that he couldn't catch the eyes of Mr. Zhao.

He was quite picky and said, "Is there no Dahongpao?"

Jia Hu was a little helpless, Zhao Yi's background, he only found out later, his grandmother was the eldest princess, who was very much valued nowadays, his father was only in his 30s, and he sat on the position of minister of the Ministry of Industry, the whole family was Jane Zai Heart.I don't know why I didn't enter the Guozijian, but came to Jiangnan Academy to study.

Jia Hu was innocently angered, rolled his big eyes, and slandered, if he has the ability, he will teach your pastoral family a lesson, and reluctantly said: "There is a Dahongpao from a few years ago, do you want it?"

It hurts so much, more than half of what he brought over has been given away, and that's all he has left.

Lin Li didn't know why this excellent West Lake Longjing was rejected by Zhao Yi, so he had to keep silent.This Lin Li came from a poor background, so logically he couldn't break into this small circle. He just subconsciously took care of the young Zhou Ren without knowing it.

However, he is still not used to Zhao Yi's style, even though he often dislikes this and that.

Zhou Ren pursed his lips and said, "You are the only one who is precious. I haven't tasted the Dahongpao yet. Let's have some tea."

After receiving the gesture from the uncle, Xue Lian bent her knees and went to get it herself.

The temperature in April is still very suitable. With the beautiful scenery of the garden and the Dahongpao, several people talked about the great rivers and mountains of Dazhou.

"It is said that the road to Shu is difficult, how difficult is the road to Shu?"

Lin Li used a phrase, saying: "It's hard to go to the blue sky."

Everyone expressed sympathy for Lin Li's difficult trek every year.

Jia Hu also talked about what he had gained in the past few months: "Zhongfu Qingyun, Longjiang Night Rain, Beihu Yanliu, Qinhuai Night Sing..."

"I have seen most of the 48 scenic spots of Jinling, and it really lives up to its reputation!"

When Jia Hu was still lamenting, "What comes on paper is shallow in the end, but the beauty of the experience has to be practiced", Sun Muge woke him up and asked, "What are the 48 scenic spots in Jinling? Why haven't we heard of it?"

Jia Hu suddenly remembered that the 48 scenes of the ancient Jinling were summed up in the Qing Dynasty, so he had to lie that he had read travel notes extensively and summed them up from various places.

Sun Muge was very interested and asked what were there.Fortunately, before Jia Hu came here, he habitually made a travel guide, and extracted almost all the records of the 48 scenic spots of Jinling that he had seen from his travel notes.

Jia Hu came together one by one, citing extensively from time to time, which aroused the yearning of everyone in the pavilion. Even the waiters were a little depressed, and they didn't feel that "Taodu Linliu" and "Xingcun Gujiu" were famous on weekdays. Where did the uncle find it?After all, people who have read the book are different. He can't count the allusions one by one.

Everyone was still reminiscing, and Lin Li also praised: "Wonderful, all the scenic spots in Jinling have been captured, and just looking for the philosophies of the ancestors is fascinating."

Zhou Ren also said that a book will be published, which will guide many students with the 48 scenes of Jinling summarized by Jia Hu.He said: "Even I, a native of Jinling, don't know that there are so many scenery hidden in the city!"

Jia Hu only felt that his skin was hot. This was the first time he had stolen the wisdom of the ancients.It's just that this is not summed up by one person, it is the wisdom of the general public. He can't shirk it on someone, so he has to be ashamed to accept it.

The four talked about the world, while Zhao Yi listened without saying a word, and before they knew it, the sun had already set to the west.

Dinner was served in a small and exquisite gazebo in the small garden for playing with the flowing water. After dinner, Jia Hu ordered wine to be served amidst Zhou Ren's cheers.

Under the intoxicating moonlight, drinking the clear Pear Blossom White, everyone is drunk when the wine is not intoxicating, and the atmosphere is just right, Zhao Yi suddenly asked: "Mu Ge, is your marriage settled?"

The author has something to say: the stupid author didn't find out that he was on the list until today, and a friend reminded him, and he still hasn't found the way, so he couldn't be more stupid 233333

Future updates are no longer fixed at 06:30pm, I swear! ! ! !Definitely do it!

There is a mistake between the hospital test and the government test, the government test first, and then the hospital test, this is catching bugs.

☆、Sing to wine

Sun Muge said vaguely not yet, his mother asked him if he had a favorite girl.

After listening to Sun Muge's answer, Zhao Yi knew that the two of them had the same heart, and Muge was not very willing, so why would he?It's just that the mothers of both parties didn't give up. They both wanted to marry a wife, so they probably gave up.Recently, the mother revealed that Mrs. Sun intends to obtain a famous lady for her son, and persuaded Zhao Yi to change her mind and marry her natal niece.

Knowing that the two of them are young now, they can wait for these two years, and when they are both grown up, they will eventually start a family.

Zhao Yi spoke with some bitterness, and it was more difficult than he imagined to say goodbye to Mu Ge himself. He said: "That day my sister came to beg me..." At this point, I couldn't say anything more, but I still insisted on putting it down. After finishing speaking: "Are you willing to marry my sister?"

Jia Hu was dumbfounded.

Lin Li probably saw Jia Hu's question, and explained to him with a smile that Jiangnan Duoqi brothers still married wives and had children, and what's more, Brother Qi would personally choose good wives and concubines for his brother.Some formally form a contract, and the brothers who hold a banquet also have a say in the other party's marriage. One party needs to obtain the other party's consent to get married.

What a strange custom this is, Jia Hu was speechless.He had many lovers in his previous life, but before starting each relationship, he would break up with his previous lovers.He has no love for those lovers, but he never has sex with two people at the same time.This can be said to be the only integrity he has left.

Jia Hu was never married in his previous life, but if he were married, he would also break up with the previous person.The same wife is sad, and the same wife whose husband is still mixed with his former sex is even more sad.

Jia Hu hated this practice of sacrificing others and carrying on the family line.

Sun Muge drank one cup after another, his eyes were already hazy.Hearing this sentence, he was also stunned. He didn't even know that the cup in his hand had dropped. He stuck out his tongue and asked, "You, you, I heard right?"

His eyes were shining, and the bright red tongue was looming in his mouth. Zhao Yi couldn't help but move in his heart, wrapped his arms around his waist, and exchanged a tender kiss.

Everyone else was coughing and coughing, and their eyes wandered. Zhou Ren turned his head and didn't look at it. Tons of damage!

Sitting in Zhao Yi's arms, Sun Muge panted, his eyes gradually cleared up, and said, "Put me down."

Zhao Yi wasn't shy at all, he caressed the person in his arms affectionately, and said in an orderly manner: "A high family marry a wife, a low family marry a daughter, the Zhao family is powerful, but she is a concubine, and the lintel of the Sun family does not insult her; You are sixteen years old, and she is fifteen years old, which is about the same age; you are going to have a family after all, and she asked me to ask you what you want, so she must be very willing."

Sun Muge didn't say a word.

Jia Hu, who was forced to stuff a mouthful of dog food, asked on his behalf: "Zhao Yi, does your sister know about your affairs?"

Zhao Yi nodded, and was as succinct as ever to people other than Sun Muge: "She is very clear and will not stop her."

What happened that day is still fresh in Zhao Yi's memory.

At that time, he had invited Ann, and just after he came out of his grandmother's room, Miss Zhao San stopped him on the path, and mustered up the courage to say to him, "Second Brother, I want to marry Mrs. Sun."

Zhao Yi looked at her sharply.

Miss Zhao San explained: "Second brother, he is the only son, it is impossible not to marry a wife. Do you know that Mrs. Sun is already proposing marriage for him."

Recalling what his mother said last night, Zhao Yi was silent, and his expression became even worse.

Seeing this, Miss Zhao San hurriedly said: "Second brother, if he marries me, I will definitely not object to your relationship." Zhao Yi cast mocking eyes, as if saying, "Why do you object?" Yes, whispered: "If his wife blows pillow wind at him every day, there is no guarantee that he will not change his mind."

Zhao Yi was sad, Mrs. Sun was unwilling to let her son be suppressed by others, and with his new wife, even though he believed in pastoral songs, he didn't want him to be in such a difficult situation.If there is anything, he will carry it.

"There are so many princes and grandsons, why did you fall in love with him?"

A red cloud flew up on Miss Zhao San's face. She bit her lip and said, "Second Brother, you also know that although I am the only daughter of the Zhao family in this generation, I am a concubine, and my mother has never welcomed me."

Zhao Yi sneered.

Ms. Zhao San said this very guilty.Zhao Yi's parents have always been loving, and both sons were born on the same day, but she was born by a servant girl by means of tricks.Her position in the Zhao family was embarrassing, but Mother Zhao never cheated on her.Over the past year, Mrs. Zhao has also taken her to socialize everywhere.As a concubine, what more could I ask for?

The third lady hurriedly changed the subject: "I am a concubine. My mother told me that it was either the concubine son of a first-rank official or the second son of a third-rank or fourth-rank official. I don't despise their family background, but compared to them, Mr. Sun's poetic talent Outstanding, if it hadn't been for delaying filial piety..." Speaking of this, seeing Zhao Yi getting impatient, she hurriedly said, "Mr. Sun's future is limitless. I only rely on having a good brother." She turned to him the left side of her face, and then looked at him attentively.

The person I like is naturally very good, Zhao Yi took it for granted.From that angle, Zhao Yi found that this concubine actually looked a little like him.Thinking of Muge's wife, who resembled him three points, Zhao Yi's heart skipped a beat.

That's why he proposed today.If Mu Ge is unwilling, Zhao Yi will not force it.

Sun Muge asked: "Since she knew, why did she marry me?"

Everyone is not very clear about the thoughts of the daughter's family. They only say that they probably really like you.After all, besides having a brother Qi, Mu Ge is both talented and outstanding, and also looks suave and suave, which is more than a step higher than those dandies who are promiscuous.

Miss Zhao San is Zhao Yi's younger sister after all, so Sun Muge agreed, but what he said was not counted as the order of his parents and the words of the matchmaker.Zhao Yi didn't let him worry, Dao would solve it himself.

Sun Muge drank the wine again, seeing the bright moon and the dark night, he tapped the white jade cup with his jade chopsticks, and accompanied by the crisp sound of jade and stone clashing, he sang a song "Qingqing Zijin, leisurely my heart".

Jia Hu was slightly envious, at least here, their relationship can see the light, without the blessing of relatives, but the witness of friends.Jia Hu was still a little uncomfortable at first, they were too irresponsible to their wives.After listening to Zhao Yi's explanation, he was relieved.In ancient times, it was impossible not to have a family.

Lin Li and Zhou Ren couldn't quite understand it. They just got married, and they didn't want to be separated. Why should they be so sad?Zhou Ren was the most greedy. As soon as the wine was served, he drank a few glasses with Mu Ge, and while Lin Li was not looking at him, he secretly drank a few more glasses, but he was not a good drinker, so he got drunk all of a sudden. .Fortunately, the wine was good, and when I got drunk, I just sat on my seat and giggled obediently, and didn't respond at all to what a few people said.

Jia Hu was a little helpless, so he said to others, "The cool breeze after drinking is the worst. I'll send this drunk back to his room."

Saying goodbye to everyone, Jia Hu refused to let the servants help, and personally helped Zhou Ren back to Lanyuan. Along the way, this drunk kept harassing Jia Hu.

"Hehehe, Brother Jia, you look so good-looking." As he spoke, Zhou Ren fell into his arms.

I am not Brother Jia, I am Brother Jia, Jia Hu replied in his heart.

"Brother Jia, you are really strong."

I don't have much strength, so you fell, Jia Hu said silently, and pulled Zhou Ren who was tripped.

"Wooooow, I'm so tired, I want to sleep on the bed..."

My heart is also very tired, Jia Hu has no choice but to stay if he knew that Zhou Ren would be so difficult when he was drunk, even if he was blinded by the couple.

The next day, Zhou Ren woke up and confessed to Jia Hu. He was obviously embarrassed by last night's gaffe.Zhao Yi and Mu Ge have a more tacit understanding, and there is some affection between the two of them.

It was rare to come out of the deep mountain and old forest where the academy was located. The dean's lecture was still several days away, and everyone didn't want to go back just like this. Jia Hu proposed to meet literary friends in Linyuan Pavilion, and they readily agreed.

The street was extremely lively, with scholars in blue robes coming and going.I don't know how many times more lively than before.

"Of course, children are easy to take the exam, and talents are rare." Zhou Ren is very experienced in this. "Do you know how many people have gray hair in the exam and are still children."

An old boy on the side of the road glared at him.

Lin Li also smiled wryly and said, "This is my second time taking the talent test, I hope I can pass this time."

Sun Muge patted him on the shoulder: "You are just too nervous. Otherwise, it would have been over long ago."

Several people entered Linyuan Pavilion, and it was extremely noisy inside.

Zhao Yi frowned all of a sudden. There was always some noise in the hall on weekdays, but it wasn't like now, making people's ears ringing.

Several groups of people in the hall were confronting each other, their swords were on edge, the leading man in blue was saying something sharply, and the opposite was only
