The Censor of Salt and Salt is a unique official position in the two Huai Rivers. Although it is only a third-rank official title, it is a first-class and first-class fat shortage in the world.
Not only is he in charge of the Lianghuai salt tax, but he also has the right to picket hundreds of officials. In terms of status, he is not under the governor of a province, but only one head lower than the governor of Liangjiang.
Jia Lian's uncle, Lin Ruhai, was once such an extravagant figure.
But these are all old calendars. After Lin Ruhai passed away in office, the wealth and glory of the past disappeared.
Right now, the official office of the Yandao Yamen is desolate, and even the servants and maids have been dismissed, leaving only a few servants brought by Jia Lian from the capital.
But said this evening.
In the small hall in the back hall of the official office, the lights are rare again, and the two copper furnaces are filled with silver frosted charcoal, which is like a warm early summer.
Under the light of the candle, Jia Lian was pouring yellow soup from the left and the right, his eyes were straight and his body trembled when he drank it earlier, but he shouted with a big tongue: "Come, come, this... this cup of wine, The second brother wants to respect your confidante! If it weren't for her, how could your brother and I drink so happily?!"
He has been busy organizing funerals these days, and he has to take care of his young cousin at home. He has not been able to drink the contents of this cup for more than half a year, and he has already accumulated a stomach of wine bugs.
Therefore, when I heard that Sun Shaozong also brought a female family, I was really overjoyed!
According to the custom at this time, if there are only two men, Jia Lian and Sun Shaozong, considering the reputation of their cousin, it is not convenient for them to drink at the official office - but with the Sun family daughter to accompany them, there is no need to worry about anything.
So Jia Lian happily ordered Ruan Rong to be invited to the backyard and arranged to rest in a place with his cousin. He immediately set up a banquet and dragged Sun Shaozong to drink from noon to evening.
Seeing that Jia Lian was obviously drunk, Sun Shaozong accompanied him to drink another cup, and before he noticed, he replaced the contents of the two cups with tea.
Unexpectedly, just after putting the teapot back on the table, Jia Lian actually fell at the desk and cried bitterly, shouting vaguely: "Pity my cousin, who is like a goddess, but she is so unlucky, she lost her mother first, and didn't Without my father, I have lost a lot of words these days, and it’s even worse to be thin!”
Sun Shaozong was speechless for a while, and was hesitating whether to call someone down and send him back to the bedroom to rest, but he heard him banging on the table again and shouting, "Daiyu, Daiyu, it's not that your second brother Lian is dirty. Lungs, really… really…”
'It's really' what, what he said vaguely could not be heard, but the word 'Daiyu' was like thunder and lightning, and the shocking Sun Shaozong's mind was buzzing!
Daiyu
Lin Daiyu? !
Isn't that the heroine in A Dream of Red Mansions? !
Sun Shaozong was also a 'rough man' in his previous life. He liked the Three Kingdoms story the most in his life. He also dabbled in Water Margin and Journey to the West. Among the four famous novels, this Dream of Red Mansions has never been read.
Therefore, he did not know that Jia Lian, Sun Shaozu and others were also characters in the book.
But Sun Shaozong has heard the names of the protagonists Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu, and Xue Baochai!
At this moment, I suddenly heard the name of Daiyu, and then contacted Jia's house, then I didn't know that I had traveled into the Dream of Red Mansions
But why is it a Dream of Red Mansions? !
If you go to the world of the Three Kingdoms and the Water Margin, relying on foresight and this sturdy force, not to mention the establishment of a tyrannical hegemony, at least it will not be a problem to be a prince!
But this dream of red mansions...
How could he know what was written in the book
Looking at Jia Lian who was crying and laughing for a long time, Sun Shaozong only vaguely remembered that Jia's mansion was mainly written in this Dream of Red Mansions.
The more he thought about it, the more irritable he became. Jia Lian was chattering like a bitch again. Sun Shaozong couldn't help but pick up a jar of rice wine, patted open the mud seal, and poured it into his belly with his head up!
He is now about 1.93 meters tall and weighs around 240 pounds. Naturally, his stomach is much larger than ordinary people, so he drank a jar of yellow wine in just a moment.
In addition to the two pots I drank before, I drank at least four pounds!
Although the degree of this yellow wine is not very high, it is similar to beer, but its stamina is far greater than that of beer. After Sun Shaozong's binge drinking, he soon became drunk.
In a daze, not knowing which strings in his mind were not right, he tapped the cup and plate with his chopsticks, and the song 'Billing the East of the Yangtze River' spewed out from his throat.
The desolate and majestic singing swayed in all directions in the night, and it complemented the desolate atmosphere in this official office after the prosperity.
-Dividing line-
squeak~
The windows of the west wing in the backyard were separated to the left and right. Ruan Rong stuck her head out, listened for a moment, and then turned back curiously and asked, "Brother Sun is also a hero from the Yangtze River. It sounds a little bit like, Lin Lin. Does my sister know what lyrics he sang?"
Following her gaze, I saw a little man sitting on the spring stool like a sculpture of ice and jade, wrapped in sackcloth, but who else could it be if it wasn't Lin Daiyu
Although the two had only been with each other for half a day, they were both young misses from the official family who lost their [mother] when they were young, and neither of them had a proper temperament, so they met each other rather late.
Some cold air was blown in from the window, Daiyu shrank her shoulders, frowned and pondered for a while, then shook her head and said, "This poem is simple, powerful, generous, and tragic, and it can be regarded as one of the first-class "Linjiang Immortals" in all dynasties. One of the best, but I have never heard of it, let alone who made it."
Seeing her pitiful appearance, Ruan Rong hurriedly closed the window.
Then she heard her saying that she had never heard of this poem, Ruan Rong's eyes suddenly lit up, she rushed to Daiyu, lay down on the round table covered with Shu brocade, and asked excitedly, "Then what do you say? Could this poem be written by Big Brother Sun?"
Daiyu and her stared at her for a while, then suddenly burst out laughing, hurriedly covering their little mouths, and giggling, "It's all said that 'Xi Shi is in the eyes of a lover', elder sister is better, The ears are stunned to hear a great talent!"
Ruan Rong's cheeks flushed red, and she felt that she was a little fanciful, but she insisted: "Didn't you never hear this poem before, why can't it be written by Big Brother Sun?!"
Daiyu laughed again: "I'm young, and I'm not a great talent. How many lyrics and music can I read? If I haven't heard the poetry, it's all written by your lover brother, so he doesn't just do it casually. Can you fight a hundred poems? This copywriter is really easy to do!"
Ruan Rong was dumbfounded by what she said, and when she saw the little fox smiling like this girl, she couldn't help but angrily pounced on her, scratching her armpits and waist, and the itchy Daiyu repeatedly pleaded for mercy.
Under the laughter, the two got a little closer.
Seeing that Daiyu's little hands were cold and there was no trace of warmth, Ruan Rong simply opened her woolen jacket and wrapped her in her arms. "You girl is good everywhere, but you only have a sharp mouth and refuse to forgive anyone."
But she said that Daiyu buried her head between the two peaks, only felt the warm fragrance in her mouth and nose, and her heart was even more indescribably cuddled, so she couldn't help but gave a deep reminder: "Sister, you If you don't care about it like this, you won't be afraid of that Duwei Sun... Does Duwei Sun's family not recognize you? Don't forget the rule of 'If you are hired, you will be your wife, and if you will be Ben', you will be your concubine'."
She wanted to say, "I'm not afraid that Duwei Sun will be a heartless man", but she was afraid that the words would be too hurtful, so she changed her rhetoric temporarily.
But even so, Ruan Rong still froze when she heard the words, but soon softened, buried her pretty face in Daiyu's blue silk, and said leisurely: "What if you can only be a concubine? People, regret that life will be much stronger."
