Cuihonglou
This place is located in Yongle Square, which is considered one of the gold-selling caves for dignitaries of the Han Dynasty. In the dark night, a string of pink lanterns hanging on the corners of the eaves exudes an ambiguous light.
On the second floor, in a large and magnificent room with exquisite decoration, Jia Zhen, who was wearing a futou and a brown silk dress, held a woman with almond-shaped eyes and rosy cheeks in her arms, and put her big hands into the woman's skirt. , the woman was holding a wine pot and pouring wine for Jia Zhen with a smile. Not far away, two geishas were singing Kunqu opera.
Jia Lian, who was wearing a moon-white shirt and a pink turban on her head, was accompanying her.
Second Master Lian was also holding a woman with a gorgeous face and graceful figure in his arms, but it was Miss Ruyan, the red card of Cuihonglou.
Second Master Lian is tall and handsome, and even the beautiful lady in his arms has a much more eager smile on his bright face.
Glancing sideways, Jia Zhen cursed in her mind, Sister Yao likes Qiao'er.
Then he couldn't help but think of the little lady from the Qin family, her beautiful face, and charming figure... appeared in front of his eyes. Then he looked at the vulgar powder beside him, and felt that her sex was dull. He frowned and said... Looking at the boy waiting on the side, he shouted: "What time is it? Go see why Brother Rong and Jia Heng haven't come yet!"
The boy left the box and went down the stairs.
Jia Lian smiled and said: "Brother Zhen, please be patient. I think Jia Heng is also a fun-loving person. He went out with Brother Rong before. I heard that Brother Zhen is here to entertain him, so why not hurry up?" Baba come here?”
It turned out that in the afternoon, under Jia Zhen's "torture," Jia Rong told Jia Heng and his daily words and deeds. Good guy, when a few people heard this, Jia Zhen's first thought was that wealth leads to conscience, while poverty leads to ** Plan, if you have too much money, you just don’t have enough money!
If you become poor, you will most likely want to rip him off!
Sister Feng was even more thoughtful and asked Jia Rong how much money she had given to persuade Jia Heng to break off the engagement.
Under Jia Zhen's fierce gaze, there were only one hundred taels left from the two hundred taels, which made Jia Zhen so angry that she asked for help on the spot.
Thanks to Sister Feng and Jia Lian's persuasion, Jia Zhen gave up.
Jia Zhen, who thought she had "solved the case", felt that it was probably because of this.
Jia Zhen twirled her beard under her chin with her hand, her expression a little cold, and scolded: "This thing has no law! Ronger said he is brave and fierce, but I still don't believe it. If he thinks the money is too little, I will give him seven or eight hundred taels more." , just let him marry a good son, why bother to hurt others, and be so arrogant, he is really an ungrateful evil!"
He spent a lot of money this time and used both soft and hard tactics to make this happen.
Jia Lian laughed and said: "With seven to eight hundred taels of silver, you can marry and have three wives. It's hard to say ten thousand pieces of silver. Young people don't know how to be heroic if they don't know how to make a penny."
What kind of person can't be married with seven or eight hundred taels of silver? He usually doesn't spend so much in a year.
Every time I need money, I ask Sister Feng for money, but Sister Feng laughs and curses a few times, but she doesn't always give it.
"Wait for him to come over in a while. The second brother will stay aside for a while," Jia Zhen said.
This is one person who is a good person and the other person who is a bad person.
Jia Lian smiled and said, "Brother Zhen, don't worry, that's natural."
Then, Jia Zhen's face became stern, and she sneered: "If you don't eat the toast and eat the fine wine, don't blame me for ignoring the righteousness of the same clan and the same clan!"
Jia Lian looked at this scene. Although his handsome face was still smiling, he was shaking his head secretly in his heart.
Brother Zhen is good at everything, but he is too stubborn in everything. Brother Rong, what kind of person can't get married? Do you have to rob Jia Heng? He will not marry the young lady of the Qin family even after leaving her. She looks like he is planning to get married.
Lian Er, who is not picky about food even when he is dirty and smelly, obviously cannot understand someone like Jia Zhen.
While the two brothers were talking, they saw someone coming up the stairs, and then the young man said excitedly: "Master, Uncle Rong and Jia Heng are here."
Because Jia Zhen hates it, otherwise it would be right for the young man to call him "Uncle Heng".
Hearing that Jia Heng was coming, Jia Zhen's face lit up with joy, and she subconsciously stood up to greet him. However, as soon as her butt left the stool, she suddenly reacted, sat down slowly, and let him greet her. Is that worthy?
While he was talking, Jia Rong came with a young man in warrior attire. The young man's hair was tied up with a blue scarf. He was tall and tall, his cheeks were slightly red from alcohol. Under his two thick eyebrows, his eyes were cold and his waist was stern. There is also a sword with a black scabbard and an antique shape hanging in the room.
In the middle of the night, it’s not too much for a scholar to go out with a sword, right?
Jia Zhen didn't know why, but looking at the face hidden in the darkness against the octagonal light in the corridor, she felt a little nervous, but in just a moment, this ridiculous thought was suppressed in her heart.
He is the dignified leader of the Ning Kingdom, a mighty general of the third rank, and the head of the Jia family. How would he be afraid of a child with a yellow mouth?
Speaking of which, this is the first meeting between Jia Zhen and Jia Heng. The description and imagination of the young people in their hearts, such as Jia Rong and Jia Yun in the clan, should be timid when they come in.
But when he met a pair of calm eyes, he felt a little uncomfortable.
Jia Lian, on the other hand, didn't have so much experience. With a warm smile on his face, he stood up and greeted: "This must be brother Jia Heng. I have heard the name of brother Heng in the past few days. When I saw him today, he was really handsome." Dignified, a dragon walks like a tiger, a young hero."
Second Master Lian was quite good at dealing with people. He had a gentle smile on his handsome face. Jia Heng couldn't reach out and hit the smiling person. He cupped his hands and said, "Second Brother Lian is a great name that I have admired for a long time."
How could he not know about Lian Er, the first wife lover in Dream of Red Mansions?
This is what Cao Gong wrote, if Li Yu wrote it, the forty chapters after the Red Mansion would not be arranged for Lian Er, and the cycle of heaven and earth will lead to unsatisfactory retribution.
The smile on Jia Lian's face grew brighter and he said: "Nice to meet you, nice to meet you. Brother Jia, please take a seat."
While talking, the guests and hosts took their seats.
Jia Lian and Jia Zhen winked, and Jia Zhen waved her hand to make the geisha who was singing Kunqu opera retreat. Then a fragrance like musk and orchid floated, and a woman with beautiful face and graceful figure walked over, holding in her hand Covering her face with Concubine Xiang's fan, she said with a sweet smile: "This Uncle Heng..."
Jia Heng frowned and said, "What are you doing!"
Seeing this, Jia Lian smiled and said, "I thought Brother Heng was a young man, so you and I might as well be more casual."
Jia Heng said calmly: "I don't need these. When I am young, my blood is not stable, so I will be wary of sex."
Jia Lian's face froze, but the smile on his face did not diminish, and he said: "It's my brother who is reckless."
As he said that, he winked at the woman. The woman chuckled lightly, didn't take it seriously, and stepped aside.
There was anger on Jia Zhen's face, she sneered, her eyes became sinister, and she said: "Brother Heng's face is getting bigger and bigger. I asked you three questions and invited you several times. I finally came here for a while and treated you well." , but there is such a truth. Those who don’t know it think that we are the ones who are usually frivolous and don’t know how to love the friendly clan.”
Jia Lian frowned when he heard this. It smelled like gunpowder, and his posture seemed wrong.
He quickly added something and said with a smile: "Brother Heng also goes to Dongfu on weekdays. I heard that we are closer to brother Rong. Maybe we are not very familiar with you and my brother for a while, so it is not easy to get close to him rashly."
This is just telling lies with open eyes. When will the son-in-law of the Jia clan play with the concubines?
Jia Heng sneered in his heart. He was reborn in the original novel Red Mansions. When the Qin family in Ningguo Mansion passed away, he showed his face and came to do business.
That was Jia Heng's only first appearance.
Jia Rong smiled and said yes, saying, "Speaking of which, Uncle Heng and my nephew are almost the same age. They are actually closer to each other in normal times. They often play around together. Outsiders often say that they are like real brothers." .”
Jia Heng thought to himself: "So, you can take away the marriage of a biological brother?"
On the other side of the room, seeing Jia Heng not speaking, just silent, Jia Zhen also put away the anger on her face, coughed, and said: "Since Brother Heng and Brother Rong have a good time, it's easy to talk about it. Where is Brother Rong? ? I thought that I was not too young now, and it was time to find a good match to take care of my heart. As a father, I was very anxious. I finally chose the daughter of Qin Ye’s family for him, but I had to go and ask. You know, we made an appointment for a child marriage early on, and I heard that the person we were engaged to be engaged to was Brother Heng?"
