Whose Evil in the Red Chamber

Jin Sanniang was a free and easy woman since she was a child. Probably the only time she understood the tenderness of her daughter's family was when she entrusted her to Wei Zhen. Now that she gave up, she said it, as if she had relieved a heavy burden in her heart. Taking a deep breath and exhaling again, she only felt her chest relax a lot, she was able to concentrate on looking at Jing Xuan's darkened face.

Ever since I met this young master of the Lin family, regardless of his young age, according to Jin Sanniang's many years of experience in the world, this Lin Jingxuan is not a fuel-efficient lamp. When I first saw him, Jin Sanniang felt that this little guy You can't easily offend him, just look at his pair of red phoenix eyes that are squinting and make people feel cold behind, there is a kind of calm and prestige.

But this brother doesn't change his face easily. Even when he plotted against the Sun family and the Zhen family, he was smiling, and he couldn't see any emotions that could make him black face. I'm afraid this is the first time Jin Sanniang has seen him. Can't help but sigh in my heart, no wonder the fourth brother said that Brother Wei and him are a natural match.

In fact, Jin Sanniang really doesn't make much sense, even if they were raised by bamboo horses and bamboo horses, they may not all have feelings, right?They had five sworn brothers and sisters. Except for the second elder brother who died early, the remaining four brothers and sisters also grew up together as children.Brother Wei and Young Master Lin also grew up together as children, and they are both men, so why did they have such feelings for each other?

One is dull and honest but calm and reliable, and the other is really challenging and caressing, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like a person who can go together. It's no wonder that Jin Sanniang can't think of the reason.

After seeing Jing Xuan's face changing enough, Jin Sanniang coughed lightly and said something serious, and handed the account book in front of Jing Xuan: "I have been checking the accounts of the Roewe Escort for the past few days, and their accounts are nothing. Question, but look at these few pens this year, the water route that the darts traveled, this route just passed the place where two salt wells are located, and the escorts are still priceless antiques."

After Jing Xuan listened, he suppressed the sour feeling just now, carefully looked at these accounts, and then flipped through the front. It's not bad, but it's still able to make ends meet, but since the beginning of the past six months, the business has suddenly boomed, not to mention frequent escorts, and the escorts are all valuables, and the waterways they take are not far from the salt well.Half a year, isn't that when my cheap father Lin Ruhai takes office?

"Do you suspect that some people use this Rongwei Escort to secretly transport private salt for profit?" Jing Xuan twirled his fingers and asked.

Jin Sanniang nodded: "That's right, I think that's why the old bodyguard wants to transfer the bodyguard agency to us. He is a timid and shrewd old man. He probably sensed some rumors and left early after making a fortune. "

Jing Xuan nodded, looked carefully at the accounts, and wrote down the households that entrusted the bodyguards. At this moment, Wei Zhen came in from the outside and saw Jin Sanniang talking to Jing Xuan in the room, so he nodded to her. Nodding, Jin Sanniang also smiled brightly, Jing Xuan raised her eyebrows when she saw this scene, her eyes darkened, and her face darkened again.

Jin Sanniang couldn't help laughing even more happily, and said to Jing Xuan: "I've finished what I have to say, so I won't be an eyesore here, I heard that you brought Cook Li, it just so happens, my favorite Eat her vinegared cabbage, you guys talk slowly, I'm leaving first, but I have to ask Aunt Li to put more vinegar for me!"

Jin Sanniang was so jealous, Wei Zhen was not really dumb, and immediately grabbed something. Seeing Jing Xuan's black face, Wei Zhen hurriedly stepped forward to make amends, although he saw Jing Xuan jealous for him It's quite comfortable, but he knows better than anyone how "careful" Jing Xuan is. If he doesn't coax him right now, he will suffer in the future.

Seeing that Jin Sanniang's back disappeared, Jing Xuan squinted at Wei Zhen: "What a big peach blossom."

Wei Zhen sighed, and looked at Jing Xuan's serious face: "Why bother to eat her dry vinegar, don't you know what I'm thinking?"

When Jing Xuan heard this, the anger in his heart dissipated a lot. Although he was a calculating person and his face was sour, he was like a mirror in his heart. He knew Wei Zhen's intentions for him better than anyone else. It's just that it's clear and clear, knowing that others admire Wei Zhen, he still can't help but feel bitter in his heart, and he can't help but stab Wei Zhen a few words, but looking at the other party's serious eyes, the sour words in his stomach are really hard to say. After leaving, I always feel that if I continue to be jealous, I will really look like a vexatious little girl, which is too bad.

Seeing that Jing Xuan stopped talking, Wei Zhen secretly smiled inwardly, but his face remained calm, and hurriedly said: "I know you have always liked Weiyang's pastries, and I found out a good place from someone. The sun is just right outside, if you don’t choose a day to hit the sun, why don’t you go today?”

When Jing Xuan heard it, he was moved. There is a dim sum shop in Gusu. The pastry chef came from Yangzhou. The dim sum he made was just right for Jing Xuan. Unexpectedly, Wei Zhen noticed it, and when he arrived in Yangzhou, he was silent It's loud, but I found out about the dim sum shop.Thinking of this, Jing Xuan's sourness even dissipated to Java.

Heizi is also a foodie. Originally, this guy was sleeping in a corner, but when he heard Wei Zhen talking about eating, he immediately woke up. He rubbed against Jingxuan's feet, rubbed his nose against Jingxuan's instep, and his eyes were wet Yes, seeing Jing Xuan's face with black lines, he looked at Wei Zhen: "Are you sure this is a wolf?"

Wei Zhen looked up at the sky and didn't answer.In the end, the two of them walked out of the gate of the Escort together as a "dog".At this time, the weather outside was still so cool that Jing Xuan was uncomfortable. Although the clothes were thick enough, Jing Xuan's body that was afraid of the cold always made him feel as if there was a cold air constantly seeping into his bones.

Seeing Jingxuan's face froze, Wei Zhen knew that he was afraid of the cold again, so he quickly stretched out his hand to hold Jingxuan's hand, and when the palms were connected, the warm inside spread along the arm to the whole body, dispelling it. The coolness in Jing Xuan's body was so comfortable that Jing Xuan squinted his eyes, but his heart was also warm.

Wei Zhen held this hand, and never let go. The two of them didn't care about the eyes of others on the street, and chatted like no one else. Although they were both located in the south of the Yangtze River, compared with Gusu and Jinling, Weiyang still had a special look. Jingxuan has never been the hermit who likes quietness, the more bustling and lively, the more he likes it. At this time, looking at the bustling market, the shops and the steaming food stalls on the street, this kind of popularity The prosperity of the city is his favorite.

After walking for a short time, we arrived at the North Gate Bridge. Wei Zhen pointed to the front: "This is it."

Jingxuan took a look, and there was a small five-story building in front of him. On the plaque, there were three big characters "Shuanghong Building" flying like dragons and phoenixes. The height of the storey does not look bulky, on the contrary, it is carefully crafted in the details, which looks extraordinarily chic.

When they arrived at the door, they were greeted by an enthusiastic clerk. Because Wei Zhen had booked a private room in advance, the clerk recognized him and rushed up to greet him. He called "Master Wei" one after another, and led them into the building. Only then did I see that this Shuanghong Building is not just a small five-story building. When you pass through the first floor, you will find an open courtyard in front of you. Bamboo and stone are exquisite everywhere, and the water from the inland river is also drawn, which can be described as a wonderful workmanship.

The buddy took them to a bamboo house behind the rockery, thinking that this was the private room that Wei Zhen had settled for, Jingxuan looked around, if he sat by the window on the Shuanghong Building, he would be able to enjoy the view of the whole garden. For the time being, Jing Xuan knows that it is not easy to sit in that building with sunspots this time. Although the scenery is not as wide as the view from afar, it is not bad because of the charm of the details.

Patting Heizi on the head, Heizi lay obediently on the ground, sweeping the ground with his tail from time to time.It wasn't cold in the bamboo house, drinking hot tea added a bit of warmth, and after a short while the delicate snacks were served on the table, Jing Xuan's eyes lit up instantly, and the staff introduced it to the side, Jing Xuan listened Nodding repeatedly, as soon as the clerk left, he couldn't wait to pick up a piece of amber cake and ate it. As soon as the amber cake was in his mouth, Jing Xuan's eyes lit up again. Jing Xuan wiped the pastry from the corner of his mouth

crumbs.

Probably only Heizi looked at the dim sum on the table, none of which had meat, his ears drooped, and he lay listlessly on his stomach, until the waiter brought a new drawer of steamed buns, full of the smell of meat, that revived his spirits stand up.

After eating the last piece of sugar-filled biscuits, Jing Xuan's stomach couldn't hold any more, but the glutton still couldn't get enough of it, looking eagerly at the remaining snacks on the table.But Wei Zhen didn't allow him to eat more, and called the waiter to put the rest in a food box and put it aside, Jing Xuan slammed his mouth, seeing the childish appearance of the man in front of him, the expression on Wei Zhen's face It also softened a lot, and patted Jing Xuan's head: "I'll eat when I'm hungry at night, I'm afraid I won't be able to overcome it right now."

Jingxuan still has some self-control. Hearing this, he nodded, and glanced at Heizi, who was also full of food. He looked satisfied with each pet. Not a scum left.

"Take a rest, let's go to the old street to listen to an opera." Wei Zhen finally said his next plan.

Jing Xuan nodded in satisfaction. Weiyang's opera troupe is also well-known, divided into Hua and Ya. If there are good tunes in Beijing opera, Qin opera, etc., Jingxuan also loves them. Since Weiyang's flower department is well-known in the south of the Yangtze River, it is natural to think about it. There is no reason to come back empty-handed after entering Baoshan. Naturally, I have to listen to it. is.

Thinking of this, Jing Xuan couldn't wait.However, the belly was too full, even if they wanted to leave right now, they couldn't. After resting for a while, the two of them left Shuanghong Building.

Weiyang's most famous pear garden resort is in Laolang Hall on Suchang Street in the city. Whether it is a local or a foreign theater troupe, if they want to appear on the stage in Suzhou City, they must first list their signs here. Jingxuan and Wei Zhen first went to Lao Langtang, and learned that half an hour later, there was Hong Ban on the stage at Situ Temple. This Hong Ban was one of Weiyang's most famous theater troupes. Jing Xuan wanted to see it a long time ago, but today happened by chance.

There was still half an hour before the show started, so Jingxuan and Wei Zhen went shopping around. This is the old street of Weiyang, and it is also the place where the Liyuan is at its peak. Naturally, there is a lot of bustle and bustle, and there are also a lot of snacks around. It's a pity Jingxuan can't eat anything now, so he can only buy some dumplings to fill Heizi's belly.

While talking and joking, when the lights were on and the show was about to start, Wei Zhen went out of his wallet and went to a private room, the most central seat on the second floor, the most comfortable place to watch a show.

Hong Ban sang "The Story of the Purple Hairpin" today, the script is a famous play, and Hong Ban is well-known, so the Situ Temple was full of people, and every seat was full. Sure enough, the reputation is well-deserved, not only the students such as Sheng and Dan have a solid foundation, but also the playing and playing team is also superb.

When Zhengdan took the stage, there were even more exclamations from the audience. Those who had heard Hong Ban's "The Story of the Purple Hairpin" recognized at a glance that Zhengdan had changed. Wei Zhen's hearing was amazing. He also heard it clearly, so he told Jing Xuan to listen, Jing Xuan looked at Zheng Dan carefully, and couldn't help frowning, this man is not short in stature, and he looks no different than the young students on the field, it looks a little weird.

Looking carefully at the eyebrows and eyes, although there is nothing wrong with pretending to be Zhengdan, but this figure is more suitable for a niche, but this person's singing skills are amazing, and he forcibly covered up the disobedience of this figure, which is rare .

Jingxuan couldn't help but love talents. The reason why his Lichun troupe is famous now is because of those few new plays. In terms of skilled actors, it is still inferior to these old troupes. Although he is the only one in Gusu City, compared to Weiyang, Jingxuan is still inferior. Since Xiaodan is a newcomer in this round, I don't know if he can win him over.

With this in mind, after the show was over, Jing Xuan rewarded the class leader with a big gold ingot, which made the class leader smile so hard that his eyes almost narrowed into slits. Jing Xuan proposed to see Na Zhengdan, but the class leader hesitated: " To tell you the truth, young master, this person is not from our Hong class, but a friend of the Dong family who loves this way, so I can naturally accept the young master's request, but I really can't guarantee whether he promises to see the young master."

Jing Xuan couldn't help wanting to meet this man even more when he heard it. Now this opera is still a low-level profession. Even if he likes it, it's just writing lyrics. He really didn't think about learning or singing opera. It was a surprise that my son met a "good family" who likes to sing.

The class leader went in to talk, and after a while, he saw a young man in blue robes coming out from the curtain. He was only about eighteen or nine years old. This man had a fair face, red lips and white teeth, and was extremely beautiful. It added a lot of heroism, Jing Xuan recognized at a glance, this person is Zhengdan who was on the stage just now.

When the man heard the class leader say that someone wanted to see him, he thought it was the same kind of drunkard and smuggler, but when he saw him, there were two teenagers standing in front of him. I am about the same age, I am not handsome, but I am very imposing, I can see that I am a martial artist;

The young man was born very well, and the pair of phoenix eyes on his face were even more eye-catching. This man thought in his heart, if in two or three years, this young man grows better, he still doesn't know what will happen. amazing.

The two of them were accompanied by this extremely strong big dog, which didn't look like the kind of dandy who took advantage of the opportunity, so the man was stunned for a while, and then the expression on his face relaxed.

"Under Liu Xianglian, I don't know how to address you two?" Feeling at ease, this person first reported his family name, bowed his hands and bowed, not humble, but very free and easy.

He was looking at Jingxuan, and Jingxuan was also looking him up and down. This person knew at a glance that he was not from an actor's background, but that he looked like a son of a noble family. Jingxuan nodded secretly, admiring him a little. Also reported the name and surname.

Jingxuan didn't recognize Liu Xianglian, but Liu Xianglian had heard of Lin Jingxuan's name, not mentioning the old things in Jinling back then, just because of the Lichun class, Liu Xianglian had long wanted to make friends with Jingxuan, and at this time her eyes widened. Liang smiled and said: "It turned out to be Mr. Lin. I have always admired Mr. Lin very much. I thought that if I had the opportunity to go to Gusu to meet him, I didn't expect to meet him here in Weiyang. Wonderful , Wonderful!"

Lin Jingxuan met Liu Xianglian. Both of them are theater idiots. One is an expert in composing and writing lyrics, and the other is used to performing romantic dramas. This meeting is really sympathetic and hates seeing each other late. I found a tea next to me. Sitting in the fourth room, the two sat down, chatting about opera because of their confidantes, and forcibly left Wei Zhen aside.

Wei Zhen sighed inwardly, is he trying to make Jing Xuan happy, or is he trying to make himself drunk?Seeing the smiling little fox, he felt quite at ease, but seeing Liu Xianglian pat Jing Xuan's shoulder with dishonest paws, the corners of Wei Zhen's mouth collapsed again.

Heizi on the side rubbed Wei Zhen's trousers, and groaned twice, probably yelling at him for stumbled, Wei Zhen suppressed the jealousy in his heart, well, during the day, he said that Jing Xuan drank his vinegar, but at this time he didn't Is that also the case?

Just at this time, suddenly saw a person hurriedly running outside the tea shop, looked carefully, it was not Xue Pan or someone else, Xue Pan was looking around, and at a glance he saw Liu Xianglian's face facing the window, his eyes lit up, and shouted "Xiao Liuer, I just went to Hongban and couldn't find you. I didn't expect you to be here. Come on, don't you always say that you want to meet someone, and this person is now in Weiyang. I will take you to meet him!"

As soon as the words were finished, Xue Pan saw Jing Xuan and Wei Zhen who turned their heads, opened their mouths and were stunned, Liu Xianglian laughed: "It's a coincidence, I met first. "

"I didn't expect you to still have friendship with Xue Pan?" This was really beyond Jing Xuan's expectations. Xue Pan is not someone who likes to listen to operas. Engaged in marriage, this guy was subdued by Wu Niang, and those fancy intestines have faded a lot. Although some people went to the Liyuan to socialize with others, I haven't heard that he has any "peach blossom" again, but why? Look, this Xue Pan doesn't seem like someone who would have friendship with Liu Xianglian, no wonder Jing Xuan was surprised.

"It's just that I don't know each other, but I mistrusted him at first." Liu Xianglian smiled and told the story of his acquaintance with Xue Pan.

The first time Liu Xianglian saw Xue Pan was in Jinling. At that time, Liu Xianglian acted in a play at the request of a friend. As soon as the show ended, Xue Pan wanted to see him. Liu Xianglian had heard of Xue Pan. She thought that the other party was a stupid fool, and when she heard that Xue Pan wanted to see him, Liu Xianglian suppressed her anger in her heart, and she just wanted to socialize for a friend's sake, thinking in her heart, If this Xue Pan didn't know how to praise and dared to do something out of the ordinary, Guan Bao beat him until he cried for his father and mother.

Who would have thought that although Xue Pan was incapable of writing, martial arts, and not very good-looking, he really didn't notice any irregularities in the other party. Letting go of Zhang Chuan's two plays, and it's still playing with the Lichun troupe. Liu Xianglian has been famous for the Lichun troupe for a long time, so she agreed when she saw this.

Later, because I got acquainted with Xue Pan and met Wu Niang, I gradually realized that the deep love between Xue Pan and Wu Niang was not as bad as the rumors in the market. Although Xue Pan had some dandy habits in his bones, it was not A bad guy, this Liu Xianglian was not a well-behaved person in the first place, he was a bit chivalrous if he said it nicely, but he was a bit evil if he said it badly, so he looked at Xue Pan differently because of this.

After learning that Xue Pan and Lin Jingxuan were also acquaintances, Xue Pan patted his chest and promised that if there was a chance, he would ask Liu Xianglian to meet Jingxuan, and this was how the two of them met.As soon as Xue Pan learned that Liu Xianglian was in Weiyang, he came over excitedly and wanted to fulfill his promise, but who knew that Liu Xianglian met Jing Xuan first instead, it was really a coincidence that it came sooner rather than later.

As soon as Xue Pan heard that Liu Xianglian was living in an inn, he immediately glared: "Xiao Liuer, is she looking down on me, Xue Pan, or something? What kind of inn are you staying in!"

Liu Xianglian knew that Xue Pan's temperament was unreasonable, so she nodded and agreed to move to Xue Pan's house in Weiyang for a temporary stay.

At this moment, the sky was getting darker, and Jing Xuan was a little sleepy, so the four of them left the tea shop. As soon as they went out, the cold wind hit, and Jing Xuan shivered involuntarily. Wei Zhen frowned, relieved The big cloak on □ was draped over Jing Xuan's body, and the clothes still carried the temperature of Wei Zhen's body, Jing Xuan felt better now, and unconsciously put it on Wei Zhen's body.

Wei Zhen was taken aback for a moment, and then an unconcealable smile spread across his eyes, which was amazingly bright even in the night, and even wrapped his palms around Jing Xuan's shoulders, pulling him into his arms, completely He didn't care about the surprised expressions of Xue Pan and Liu Xianglian next to him.
