After Jia Lian left openly, Youshi sat alone in the room for a while, then called Yindie in and told her, "Go to the Sheng family and ask her to arrange a few people to ask my mother what happened." How's it going? There's trouble.
If it's done, I'll bring them over to keep me company. "
Soon after Jia Lian left Beijing, Youshi found a reason to let Mrs. You and her daughter go back to their hometown.
It’s not that she’s heartless and drives people away when they’re done.
She knew that when her father was still alive, he had arranged a marriage for his second sister.
Although for some reasons, You Lao Niang had long regretted it and wanted to cancel the engagement, but she kept putting it off. You made such a clear decision. Since she was determined to marry Sister You to Jia Lian, she would not let her have such a head and tail on her body.
So I told You Lao Niang and others to go back and get this matter done.
And the reason why I didn't ask about it for so long was just a simple way to control people.
Even though they are my mother and my sister, they are not close to each other. Sometimes, I am afraid that they may not be completely on the same page as her.
Especially the third sister, who has a tricky personality and aggressive behavior, is not easy to get along with.
Therefore, after allowing them to experience the wealth of the Duke's Mansion, and then allowing them to return to the countryside to experience the poverty of a small family again, it may make them cherish their days living in the Duke's Mansion even more.
In Rongguo Mansion, the drama continues.
There was a performance in the inner courtyard and a performance in the outer courtyard.
The first class inside was naturally performed specifically for Jia Mu, while the first class outside invited several famous elders and children from the clan to come over and have fun together.
Jia Baoyu Suxi doesn't like such lively dramas unless she is watching them with her sisters.
Therefore, according to common sense, although Jia Baoyu is a man, at this time, he should sit in the inner group and accompany Jia Mu to enjoy the show.
But today, for the first time, he went outside to watch a play with Jia Zheng.
Even if he was often taught a lesson by Jia Zheng, he would endure it silently.
After finally waiting for Jia Zheng to go in and toast Jia's mother, Jia Baoyu immediately asked Ming Yan to carry two bottles of wine to his outer study. As for himself, he went to the dressing room of the theater troupe, found a young and handsome actor who was going to be a guest actor and actress today, and invited him to come and talk for a while.
Because he met Lai Shangrong, the son of Lai Da, who had a friendship with him, he also invited him.
"Hahaha, Brother Liu, I tried to find you several times but never got a chance. I didn't expect you to come to our house today. This makes me so happy!"
Jia Baoyu took the actor's wrist and invited him to his study, smiling with a smile on his face.
Although the actor was dressed in a costume and had exquisite makeup on his face, his behavior did not have the pretentiousness of an ordinary actor.
On the contrary, you can still see a bit of free and easy masculinity in him.
This person is Liu Xianglian, who has a somewhat bad reputation in Beijing Fengyue Field. He is also known as Liu Erlang, the "cold-faced gentleman".
Although Liu Xianglian and Jia Baoyu had not known each other for a long time, they had only met briefly a few times. After all, the words and actions of Jia Baoyu and Liu Xianglian were not like ordinary people. Moreover, Jia Baoyu's status was also extraordinary, but she treated him so kindly. Liu Xianglian was a little touched in her heart, and her face showed kindness.
"There's no need to look for me. I've always wandered around. Even I sometimes don't know where I'm going. How can you find me?"
As he said that, he followed Jia Baoyu and Lai Shangrong into the house.
After sitting down, Lai Shangrong smiled and said: "He didn't lie to you. If he hadn't come to look for me once when he first came to Beijing, I wouldn't have known he was in Beijing.
Just a few days ago, the master sent my father to invite a theater troupe. I remembered that Uncle Bao had asked me about Erlang's whereabouts last time, so I went to invite him. First, we would get together, and second, I would help my father. Unexpectedly, he was actually willing to come. "
"Brother Lai has your destiny, how dare you disobey me?"
As the son of Lai Da, the chief manager of Rongguo Mansion, Lai Shangrong was freed from slavery since he was a child, and he was elected again, so his status was naturally not low. Therefore, the people he made friends with were all the children of powerful people in the capital. Even Liu Erlang, who was born in a noble family and had a cold face and a cold heart, treated them as equals.
In any case, Jia Baoyu, who had never forgotten Liu Xianglian since he saw her two faces last year, was overjoyed to see her again, so she was very happy to drink and talk at the same time.
For a moment, Jia Baoyu thought of Qin Zhong again, so he took Liu Xianglian's hand and asked: "By the way, Brother Liu, did you see Qin Zhong when you came to Beijing this time?"
Liu Xianglian nodded. Speaking of which, he got acquainted with Qin Zhong first and then met Jia Baoyu.
After all, the reason why he interacted with the Jia family in the first place was because Jia Zhen and his son of Ningguo Mansion admired his name and paid a lot of money to invite him to come over and rehearse several plays. Because he saw that Qin Zhong, Jiarong's brother-in-law, was an extraordinary person and not an ordinary dandy, he had some friendship with him.
"How is he, little Zhong'er?"
Liu Xianglian saw Jia Baoyu a little excited and a little surprised. Considering the relationship between the Jia family and the Qin family, Jia Baoyu and Qin Zhong are very easy to meet, but why does Jia Baoyu look concerned after not seeing each other for a long time?
When Lai Shangrong saw this, he explained cryptically: "For some reasons, the old lady at home does not allow Uncle Bao and Qin Zhong to interact, so Uncle Bao is like this."
Liu Xianglian also heard that there must be a secret in this, and was not in the mood to delve deeper, because she said: "There is nothing unusual about him, he just looks thinner than before."
"Harm, I know how his fragile body can withstand the abuse of others. Fortunately, he recovered from his illness."
Jia Baoyu naturally knew that Qin Zhong not only received a good beating from Qin Bangye after his return, but also fell ill.
At first, he secretly went to see Jia Mu and others without telling him, but Qin Zhong paid little attention to him, and Qin Bangye did not welcome him. Frustrated, he stopped going.
"Hahaha, I knew you were hiding here behind my back to eat the wine!"
While Jia Baoyu was enjoying himself, he suddenly heard the door of the room open. Jia Baoyu was shocked and thought for a moment that Jia Zheng was here.
Only when he heard the voice did he know it was Xue Pan.
"Brother Xue is here, please sit down."
Xue Panfei Dudu's body rushed into the room, a pair of slightly small eyes turned mischievously, and his gaze fell on Liu Xianglian beside him, and his eyes suddenly glowed with splendor.
Although Liu Xianglian was not very happy, she bowed her hand politely.
"This must be Liu Erlang. I have admired your name for a long time, but I have never met you. I am really lucky to see you here today~"
Xue Pan didn't care about Lai Shangrong and Jia Baoyu at all. He stepped forward and wanted to take Liu Xianglian's hand and have a heart-to-heart talk.
However, Liu Xianglian calmly dodged her, and Xue Pan didn't care. Instead, he glanced at the table and greeted everyone to sit down in a familiar manner.
Lai Shangrong naturally did not dare to offend Xue Pan. For Baochai's sake, Jia Baoyu always dealt with Xue Pan. Liu Xianglian saw the attitude of Jia Baoyu and the two, and knew that Xue Pan should have a good status, so it was not easy to offend him.
But after he sat down again, he found that Xue Pan looked at him with a very evil look, and even reached out repeatedly to try to take advantage of him, which made Liu Xianglian very unhappy.
Lai Shangrong saw it, and when Xue Pan was about to get in the way, he quickly stopped him and said with a smile, "Uncle Xue is drunk."
"Nonsense, I just ate so much today, I'm not drunk... It's just that wine doesn't intoxicate people, people get drunk on themselves, hahaha..."
Xue Pan made what he thought was the most attractive, a wild look, and looked directly at Liu Xianglian.
But I don't blame him for this.
It turned out that Xue Pan had heard of Liu Xianglian's name in the Jia Mansion since he entered Beijing, but he had never met her by chance.
I was bored today. I heard that Rongguo Mansion was putting on a show, so I came over to have a look. Unexpectedly, I saw Liu Xianglian who was on stage as a guest star.
Because Liu Xianglian was "famous" and the guest roles he saw today were all "Sheng Dan Feng Yue Drama", he thought that Liu Xianglian was as good an actor as he had seen before.
Actors with such excellent character and appearance are usually the playthings of powerful people, and they are well versed in the ways of romance.
Xue Pan is not arbitrary. Otherwise, why would these three well-behaved men be locked up in the house eating wine during the day?
Not yet, Jia Baoyu and Lai Shangrong were eating alone behind his back!
Now that he has found him, he will naturally not let go.
