Although tonight is not the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th, it is the night of the full moon on May 15th.
In her previous life, Jia Yun liked the song "Moon Full in the West Tower" very much. She thought this song was one of the best composed songs among ancient poems, and the original singer of this song was the actress who played Qingwen in the 1987 version of the TV series.
So tonight when Qingwen asked Jia Yun to sing a song, Jia Yun thought of this song.
The lyrics of this song are "A Cut of Plum Blossoms - Red Lotus Roots and Remaining Jade Mats in Autumn" written by Li Qingzhao, a female lyricist from the Song Dynasty.
In Jia Yun's view, Li Qingzhao can be regarded as one of the top female poets in ancient China.
Li Qingzhao is not mentioned in the original work, but it is obvious that Lin Daiyu is somewhat like Li Qingzhao. There are even works that believe that Red Mansion and Li Qingzhao have a close relationship...
Tonight, Jia Yun's song "Moon Full in the West Tower" amazed Qingwen, who heard him sing for the first time, and also fascinated Xiren, Zicuckoo, who had listened to his songs many times.
Listening to the three maids' compliments, Jia Yun, who was enjoying her bath, thought to herself:
"Unfortunately, in this era, singing is not a serious thing for men. It is usually done by actors. Young men only sometimes sing at fun venues."
"Otherwise, with my singing talent in this life and the fact that there are so many good songs for me to 'get' in my previous life, wouldn't I still be able to become a superstar in the world of Red Mansions?"
Well, in this way, this novel is not only a Red Mansion novel but also an ancient entertainment novel...

Regarding the fact that Jia Yun suddenly found Xiang Ling Niang so that Xiang Ling could reunite mother and daughter, naturally word spread to Rong Guo Mansion very quickly.
In the Rongguo Mansion, everyone from Jia Mu, Jia Zheng, Li Wan, Sanchun, Lin Daiyu, Shi Xiangyun to the maidservants all marveled and praised him for a while.
What's amazing is that according to Jia Yun, Jia Yun accidentally heard a person from Suzhou in Huainan tell the story of Zhen Shiyin, and based on the fact that Zhen Yinglian had a rouge mole between her eyebrows, she thought that Zhen Yinglian might be Xiangling.
So he sent his own soldiers to Suzhou Mansion to find Xiangling Niang. This incident was a strange coincidence.
The reasons for praise vary.
For example, what Jia Mu praised was that Jia Yun had done a good deed, and that Jia Yun was so caring and considerate to a maid, which shows that Jia Yun is a kind-hearted brother.
For example, some maids praised Jia Yun for being not only a very good brother, but also a good master who cared about the maids. It would be great luck to be his maid.
Naturally, this matter also attracted special attention from Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai. After all, Xiangling was their maid at the beginning, and they both liked Xiangling and cared about Xiangling.
…
…
Since her engagement to Jia Yun three months ago, Xue Baochai has not only not seen Jia Yun, she has also avoided people in Rongguo Mansion.
In the past three months, Xue Baochai only went to the inner house of Rongguo Mansion twice, and both times were summoned by Jia Mu on her own initiative.
As a reserved and steady lady, Xue Baochai felt that since she was engaged to Jia Yun, it would be inconvenient for her to go to the inner house of Rongguo Mansion often.
First, she would avoid the young ladies, maids, daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law in the Rongguo Mansion from discussing her marriage with Jia Yun in person, and avoid the envy and jealousy of these people.
Secondly, avoid meeting other brothers, especially Jia Baoyu.
Thirdly, I felt that I, who was already engaged, was not suitable to play around with those "little girls" like Sanchun, Lin Daiyu, and Shi Xiangyun.
This kind of thing is not strange in this era.
In the original novel, after Xue Biao and Xing Xiuyan got engaged, Xing Xiuyan even avoided Aunt Xue.
I have to lament that in this era many ladies from wealthy families are homegirls!
In three months, Xue Baochai only left Lixiangyuan twice. What a tough homegirl she is!
However, the more she stayed away from her, the more Xue Baochai couldn't help but miss Jia Yun, and she began to suffer from lovesickness.
In the past three months, Aunt Xue has been in a good mood and is very satisfied with the marriage between her baby daughter and Jia Yun. This marriage has also given her a lot of dignity.
That afternoon, Aunt Xue returned to Lixiangyuan from Jia Mu's place. She saw Xue Baochai and Ying'er sitting together doing needlework. Aunt Xue came over and said with a smile: "My dear daughter, I just went to the old lady and heard something
News related to Brother Yun and Xiangling."
When Xue Baochai heard this, she couldn't help but become curious. Just the news related to Jia Yun was enough to make her curious, let alone the news related to Xiang Ling.
However, now, even in front of Aunt Xue, Xue Baochai would be more reserved and steady when it came to matters related to Jia Yun. She did not ask, but just looked up at Aunt Xue.
Ying'er smiled and asked, "Grandma, what's the news?"
In the past three months, Ying'er has always been in a good mood, because once Xue Baochai marries Jia Yun, she, Ying'er, will most likely be the wench girl.
Because of this, even though she had become a tough homegirl with Xue Baochai in the past three months, she was not bored or depressed.
Aunt Xue immediately told Jia Yun that she suddenly asked Xiang Ling Niang to reunite her mother and daughter.
While talking, Aunt Xue praised Jia Yun very much, thinking that Jia Yun had done a good thing, that Jia Yun was a kind-hearted brother, and that Xiang Ling was lucky to be his maid.
Aunt Xue couldn't help but say: "My dear daughter, I am really happy that you can get engaged to Brother Yun."
Xue Baochai suddenly blushed and lowered his head, feeling happy and proud in his heart.
The happiness is for Xiangling, and the pride is naturally for Jia Yun.
Although she has not yet married Jia Yun, she is already engaged to Jia Yun and has exchanged dragon and phoenix wedding invitations with Jia Yun. She is already half a couple with Jia Yun. She is qualified to be proud of him!
What's funny is that Yinger actually became shy and lowered her head, feeling happy and proud.
I am happy that Jia Yun treats Xiang Ling with such care and consideration. Will he treat her the same way in the future?
Proud of, well, she even felt that she would probably be Jia Yun's maid, so she was qualified to be proud of Jia Yun.
…
…
Another half month passed, and it was early June.
That day, at the call of her friend Shui Rong, Jia Yun went to the Prince's Mansion in Beijing, and took away some fresh lychees when she left. Because Shui Rong knew that he liked to eat fresh lychees, she specially gave him some.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In the previous life, Jia Yun’s favorite fruit was fresh lychees. However, in this world, it is difficult to eat fresh lychees in the Shenjing City.
During the Tang Dynasty, fresh lychees were sent as tribute to the court through inns. As the saying goes, "when a concubine rides on a red dusty horse and smiles, no one knows it is lychees coming."
The capital of the Tang Dynasty was Chang'an, and the fresh lychees offered as tribute at that time were mainly produced in Sichuan.
Naturally, the Qing Dynasty also had fresh lychees as tribute. The difference was that the capital of the Qing Dynasty was in Shenjing City. The fresh lychees for tribute were mainly produced in Fujian and transported by waterways. The whole lychees were transported together with the roots, so that the fresh lychees could be kept
.
In Shenjing City, in addition to the nobles in the palace who can enjoy fresh lychees, some royal relatives, princes and ministers will also be rewarded with fresh lychees.
When Jia Daishan was still alive, he could receive fresh lychees as a reward from Emperor Kangxing every year. However, since Jia Daishan passed away, this reward has been deposed. Even though Jia Mu, a first-class Duke's wife, is still sitting in the Rongguo Mansion,
You are now qualified to enjoy the reward of fresh lychees.
The original work once wrote that Xue Baochai sent a woman to send lychees to Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu. The gifts were not fresh lychees, but candied lychees.
Another time in the original work, it was written that Jia Baoyu sent fresh lychees to Tanchun. This time it was indeed fresh lychees, but I don’t know where Jia Baoyu got the fresh lychees this time.
What is certain is that these fresh lychees were not directly gifted to Rongguo Mansion by the imperial court. Otherwise, why would Jia Baoyu specially send fresh lychees to Tanchun? Jia's mother would naturally give some to Tanchun.
Jia Yun is now only a first-class imperial bodyguard, a lieutenant of the Imperial Envoy Coal Mine Division, and a third-class general. Although this status is noble, it is still far from being able to enjoy the reward of fresh lychees.
And the Beijing Palace is naturally qualified to receive the reward of fresh lychees.
Today, Jia Yun was exposed to the light of water. Not only did he eat some fresh lychees at the Prince's Palace in Beijing, which satisfied his desire for fresh lychees, but he also packed some to take away when he left. There were quite a lot of them.
When Jia Yun returned to her house with the packaged fresh lychees, Xiren, Zicuckoo, Xiangling, Qingwen, Liu Wuer all liked it, and even Bu Wuniang liked it so much that she ate more than ten lychees in succession.
Jia Yun packed two more copies, one for Xiren to deliver to Jia Mu, and the other for Feng and Xiangling to deliver to Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai.
Although Xiangling didn't say it herself, Jia Yun knew that Xiangling should miss Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai a little, and Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai should also miss Xiangling a little. She would take this opportunity to let Xiangling meet Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai.
one sight.
In addition, Mrs. Feng had heard Xiangling talk about the Xue family and Xiangling, and she was also grateful to Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai. She wanted to thank her in person, so she happened to take this opportunity to let Mrs. Feng thank Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai in person.
…
…
Yu Zhu personally led the team and sent the attackers, Xiangling and Fengshi to Rongguo Mansion.
Xiren went directly to Jia Muyuan and Xiangling, while Feng went to Lixiangyuan.
Although Rongguo Mansion has not been eligible to enjoy the reward of fresh lychees for several years, Jia Mu used to eat a lot of fresh lychees. Even in recent years, if Jia Mu wants to eat fresh lychees, she can find a way to get them.
But this time, Jia's mother was still happy when faced with the fresh lychees sent by Jia Yunte. She didn't really want to eat fresh lychees, so she deliberately ate a few.
When Jia's mother learned that Jia Yun had specially sent a gift to Aunt Xue, Xue Baochai smiled and said, "Miss Bao hasn't even come here yet, but Brother Yun can't wait to give something to my mother-in-law and daughter-in-law."
One sentence made everyone in the hall laugh, and Xiren couldn't help but laugh.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to send fresh lychees, Xiren met with the ladies and maids of Rongguo Mansion to reminisce about old times. In the process, he was inevitably teased and lamented that she was from Jia Yun's room.
"Sister Xiren, even if you become Brother Yun's roommate, he should not be the only one in your eyes and heart. You should think about me occasionally. Come here to take a look at me. Don't forget your thoughts.
We are very close."
Shi Xiangyun smiled and teased the attacker.
"Now you are satisfied. You are already in Master Yun's room. When Miss Bao comes over next year, you will become my concubine soon."
Yuanyang smiled and teased the attacker.
"Well, when we grew up together next to the old lady, we never imagined that you would later become an outstanding brother like Mr. Yun, first becoming his maid, and then becoming his roommate.
She will be the concubine in the future, and I followed our Miss Lin."
Qian Xue sighed at Xi Ren, with envy in her tone.
Xiren was inevitably shy at the teasing and sighing comments from these young ladies and maids, but more importantly, he was happy and proud, feeling that he was much more respectable now than before.
In the past, when she was still a maid next to Jia Mu, many servants in the Rongguo Mansion did not think highly of her even though she was loved by Jia Mu.
And now, haha, even if there are still some servants in Rongguo Mansion who don't like her, no one dares to deny her a good look in person. Her second master is now very dignified and dignified in Rongguo Mansion!
Xiangling and Feng went to Lixiangyuan and met Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai.
Xiangling was honest and directly followed Jia Yun's words: "Grandma, girl, the second master told me, 'You send these fresh lychees to Mrs. Xue, Miss Baochai'," so I gave these fresh lychees
Sent to you."
As soon as these words came out, Aunt Xue laughed, Ying'er also laughed, and Xue Baochai immediately blushed and lowered her head, feeling sweet in her heart.
"He is really a considerate man who knows how to care for women. Before I even came to the door, he sent someone to send fresh lychees. And in name, he didn't say it was for my mother, but he said it was for my mother and my wife.
mine."
Xue Baochai thought quietly in her heart.
Aunt Xue smiled and said: "Go back and thank Brother Yun for me, and also thank Brother Yun for Baochai."
Ying'er laughed again, while Xue Baochai became even more embarrassed and felt sweeter in her heart.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai reminisced with Xiangling, and Mrs. Feng also thanked Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai in person.
After Xiangling and Feng left, Xue Baochai returned to her boudoir. While eating fresh lychees alone, she couldn't help but miss Jia Yun. Every fresh lychee was sweet when eaten in her mouth, and this sweetness was not only in her mouth.
In her mouth and in her heart.
Alas, I miss him so much after not seeing him for more than three months!
I can't marry him until next year, which means I have to wait until next year before I can see him again!
It turns out that lovesickness is such a feeling, there is distress, but it is more sweet!
Xue Baochai sighed quietly in her heart while eating fresh lychees. She would only sigh quietly in her heart about such worries, but would not tell anyone, including Aunt Xue.
In fact, why doesn't Jia Yun miss Xue Baochai?
Whenever Jia Yun thinks that she will not be able to see Xue Baochai again until she gets married next year, Jia Yun also feels distressed.
Now the two of them can really be described as "the flowers are floating and the water is flowing, a kind of lovesickness in two places and idle sorrow. There is no way to eliminate this feeling, so I frown but it is in my heart"!
However, on the wedding day next year, when Jia Yun meets Xue Baochai again on that day, Jia Yun will be Xue Baochai's husband, and Xue Baochai will be Jia Yun's wife.
