It is said that on this day, Jia Cong rushed to Feng Ziying's house full of evil ideas. The disciples of the Feng family had already known him, so they greeted him with a smile and sent someone to report the news. The disciple who was reading at midnight smiled and said: "What a coincidence.
, Uncle Xue family is here too."
Jia Cong thought to himself, what a coincidence, so he asked: "Who else is there?"
The disciple said: "There is also Uncle Han, and Uncle Xue has brought an actor here, called Liu Shiyun."
Jia Cong couldn't help laughing and said, "Isn't it Jiang Yuhan?" He stepped inside.
As soon as he entered the door, he heard Xue Pan shouting loudly: "Brother Cong, I won't see you for a while. Come quickly and let me see if you have grown taller."
As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Ziying laughed and said, "It seems that I haven't grown taller, I just gained some weight."
Jia Cong let out an "ouch" and said, "Why have I gained weight again? It's just been a bit cold these days, so I was coaxed by the wet nurse to wear two more clothes."
Everyone "coaxed" to laugh.
Jia Cong blushed. He was probably the only one in the room who was still being controlled by the nanny to dress and eat, so he sat down on the chair in a depressed manner.
Feng Ziying hurriedly said: "He is pretending to be angry again, please give him some comfort."
Jia Cong was exposed, a little bored, and said: "Who is angry? I really wore an extra layer. It's getting a bit hot now. Brother Feng and I found a room to change out of."
Han Qi hurriedly said: "No, you were so anxious when you were walking in a hurry on the road. You might catch a cold if you take off your clothes now."
Feng Ziying also said: "Just take a rest for a while. Anyway, you don't want to drink."
Jia Cong was helpless, because he raised his eyes and took a few glances, and saw several pink-headed actors sitting beside him at the banquet. One of them, who looked rather childish, was sitting next to Xue Pan. Needless to say, it was the one the disciple mentioned.
Jia Cong did not despise actors coming out to accompany guests. It was very difficult to eat their bowl of rice. However, he was inevitably curious, so he walked away from the man with open eyes. Xue Pan said hurriedly: "This is Liu Aiyun, Heqing
The best singer in the class."
Jia Cong shouted casually: "Brother Liu!"
Liu Aiyun's eyes widened suddenly. Xue Pan was overjoyed, held up his cup and said with a smile: "Good brother! You still like me."
Jia Cong looked around blankly and saw Feng Ziying and Han Qi both looking at him in surprise, wondering: "What's wrong? Isn't his surname Liu?"
Feng Ziying said hurriedly: "It's very true." Then he ordered people to quickly put out the wine and food and interrupted the matter. There was only tea in front of Jia Cong. For a while, several pink-headed actors took turns toasting, and Jia Cong just watched.
Without comment, Liu Aiyun's eyebrows were a bit indifferent and quite interested.
For a while, they had a drinking order and the banquet became lively. Jia Cong was originally here to talk to Feng Ziying, so he was a little anxious and found an excuse to go for a walk. After a while, he saw Liu Aiyun also coming out and heading straight to
He walked over. Jia Congfang took a closer look at this person. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old. In terms of beauty, he was definitely not as beautiful as Liu Xianglian who had not yet tanned that day. But there was a faint aura between his eyebrows, which made him feel uneasy.
feeling.
He smiled at Jia Cong and said, "Do you understand?"
Jia Cong made a face: "Brother Liu, don't blame me, I'm still young, I'm just a little curious."
Liu Aiyun asked: "Have you never seen an actor before?"
Jia Cong smiled and said: "I've seen him before, but I don't remember most of them. Brother Liu is quite different. I think I can remember him."
Liu Aiyun asked with a smile: "Seriously? I'm just an ordinary actor, what's so different about me?"
Jia Cong said casually: "Looking at your appearance, I feel for no reason that this person is actually a cactus disguised as a white lotus."
Liu Aiyun was stunned: "What is a cactus?"
Jia Cong said: "A kind of plant in the desert of the Western Regions rarely blooms. Its stem is green and spherical, and its leaves are very small and needle-shaped, which can be prickly to the touch. It is said that the flowers are very beautiful, but many people prefer it.
The appearance of flowers. Due to the lack of rain in the desert, most flowers and trees cannot survive. This thing is the only one that is good at storing water and is not easy to dry up and die. Many people love it for its tenacity and tenacity, but some people are born low and love it because it is full of thorns that prick their hands. "
He said it casually, but Liu Aiyun was stunned. After a while, she actually bowed to him seriously. Only then did Jia Cong realize that he had misunderstood, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "It's just that you asked me and I answered.
No other meaning." He suddenly found himself getting darker and darker, so he had no choice but to laugh.
Liu Aiyun was stunned for a long time and sighed: "Whether you do it intentionally or not, I just accept your favor."
Jia Cong trembled: "It's really not necessary. It's just a few gossips. Why should I take advantage of you?"
Liu Aiyun smiled softly. She was really good-looking and had a bit of heroic spirit. Jia Cong couldn't help but said: "You shouldn't sing a female role. Your natural state is not feminine."
Liu Aiyun asked: "What is the state of nature?"
Jia Cong said: "You look like this now, when you don't pretend to show it to anyone. You singers will naturally have to act. But if you are masculine, why bother pretending to be a woman?"
Liu Aiyun smiled bitterly and said: "The troupe is all men, so there must be someone who plays the leading role, right?"
Jia Cong said: "Then why not let women sing the leading role?"
Liu Aiyun was stunned: "Where can a woman sing?"
Jia Cong curled his lips and said, "If we didn't do it in the past, how can we guarantee that we will have it in the future?"
Liu Aiyun shook her head repeatedly: "No. You don't understand many things..."
Jia Cong was just talking nonsense, and he said it was unacceptable. He was silent for a while. Jia Cong was not in control of his appearance and was young, so he had no sense of happiness in being alone with a beautiful woman, so he had nothing to say and said, "I want you to be a famous person."
The corner is also quite busy?"
Liu Aiyun shook her head: "I just officially made my stage debut." Suddenly she lowered her head and said, "Now I follow the Xue family uncle out because of the difficulties at home. He is really a happy person."
Jia Cong said "Oh", then thought about it and said: "If you can sing well, you can also gain popularity."
Liu Aiyun was stunned: "What?"
Jia Cong said: "Spend some money to invite two groups of people. One group will go around and say that you can sing better than a certain actor, such as Jiang Yuhan. The other group will make a fuss with the group in front of the public, saying that Jiang Yuhan is better than others."
The less you say, the stronger you will be. These two groups of people quarreled and even fought every now and then for everyone to see. People in the world love to be lively. If you make noise, your reputation will rise." This is a common use by later generations of artists.
One of the methods of speculation is simple in ancient times and has probably never been seen before.
After hearing this, Liu Aiyun stayed for a long time and suddenly laughed: "What a strange method."
Jia Cong also smiled and said: "I see that you have been stunned several times just now. It is obvious that you are not willing to come to this place with Brother Xue. Since you are willing to come, it must be that things are really difficult at home. Brother Xue is a rough man.
, he is also reckless, he is also a dandy, and he has done a lot of wrong things. However, he has a bit of true temperament, which is much better than those who are high-sounding and dirty and cruel secretly. If you act coquettishly with him, I'm afraid
He will also help you."
Liu Aiyun shook her head: "I'm willing to show off my smile, and I'm also willing to sell my body, but I can only win his heart."
When Jia Cong heard that a man like him casually said "selling oneself", he couldn't help looking up at him and praised: "There are very few people who can be so honest. If you can change your career in the future, you will definitely achieve great things."
cause."
Liu Aiyun suddenly felt sad, lowered her head and smiled bitterly.
Jia Cong knew that he had said the wrong thing again, so he hurriedly said with a fake smile, "Brother Xue is not a long-term lover. You coaxed him for a while, and after two months he will naturally forget about you. It's nothing."
Soothe his heart."
Liu Aiyun said: "Even so, he has been sincere in the past two months."
Goosebumps rose up on Jia Cong's back: "Come on, come on! Don't talk so boringly, a grown man. It's easy to get into opera if you sing too much. I think you like it and I want to give you some advice. Even though you sing the female role, you are not a woman after all. What kind of love is this?
It's not worth a few copper coins. One day when you have money, you can quietly read a few words. Don't you see Cheng Dieyi's blood spilled three feet across the stage? Everything in the play is a lie." He waved his hand and turned around to go back to the house.
Liu Aiyun stayed behind for a long time.
When the banquet ended, Xue Pan and Han Qi both left first. Jia Cong only said that he wanted to play a little longer, and he and Feng Ziying were sent out the door. When Han Qi left, he took a deep look at Jia Cong, which made the back of Jia Cong's head feel cold. Wait for him
He disappeared without a trace, turned to Feng Ziying and said: "Brother Han, what are you looking at me for? I was so embarrassed by him looking at me."
Feng Ziying was a little tired after half a day of drinking, and said casually: "Why do you feel so hairy? Have you done anything good again?"
Jia Cong immediately pulled his sleeve and whispered: "I had an adventure the day before yesterday. Although it seemed to be a good thing, I always felt uneasy, so I came to you to ask if there is anything wrong with you thinking about it for me.
?”
Feng Ziying already knew that he met the prince and the saint, because she glanced at him and said, "What's the matter?" She turned around and went back inside.
All the way until he returned to the house, Jia Cong kept talking about what happened the day before - excluding some details that were inconvenient to tell Feng Ziying - and slowly said it again. Because he said with a bitter face: "I always feel that the saint told me
Those two sentences are strange, but I don’t know what’s so strange about them. After thinking about them more and more, it’s obvious that they are two ordinary sentences, but I feel uneasy. I don’t know why.”
Feng Ziying secretly sighed in her heart. A letter came out from the front of the palace. Shortly after the saint returned to the palace that day, he ordered Dai Quan to go out in person and hinted to a few important people that he would not establish a prince for the time being. At this moment, someone had already thought about him.
The princes of the family paid some attention to him and said, "Do you remember who the saint brought with him?"
Jia Cong smiled and said: "At that time, my father and I only went to see the saint, and didn't pay attention to who he was taking. However, after asking the people who were following him, we found out that he was also taking the eunuch and the prince. Fortunately, they left
It's so fast that we don't know any of the princes, so we are very lucky."
Feng Ziying looked at him and chuckled: "Wouldn't it be nice to meet the prince?"
Jia Cong hurriedly stretched out his fat paws and gestured: "I am only eight years old! If any prince likes me and chooses me to be his companion, I will cry to death!"
Feng Ziying raised her hand and gave it to him: "That's all, whoever dares to ask you to be a companion will never be able to do it properly."
Jia Cong knew that he was definitely not on the list of the saint's reading companions. His heart immediately returned to his stomach and he touched his belly: "Brother Feng, you are thinking that the saint has no other meaning."
Feng Ziying thought for a moment and said, "You just need to live in peace these days."
Jia Cong was stunned.
Feng Ziying sighed: "Go back and ask Brother Lian what stories the court has in recent days."
Jia Cong hurriedly asked: "What story?"
Feng Ziying waved her hand and asked him if he had any other interesting stories.
Jia Cong knew that he would not say it clearly, but it was enough for now. He checked his sister's accounts and found out that his grandfather had inexplicably lost contact with his aunt's house when he went to his house, and told him: "My father is angry."
For half a day, she said that our ancestors had long hair and short knowledge. In my opinion, it was not a lack of knowledge at all. There must have been some disagreement between my sister-in-law and her sister that day. She was just venting her anger."
Feng Ziying's face moved slightly and asked: "How are your family's preparations?"
Jia Cong said: "What else can I do? Give me more New Year's gifts to make up for it. It's just that 80% of it can't be made up. If I were my great-aunt, I wouldn't pay attention to it." Yin sighed, "My old lady is
A shady master who specializes in trying to hinder my father."
Feng Ziying rubbed his head with a smile and said no more.
Jia Cong played for a while again and said goodbye. Halfway through the carriage, he thought of Liu Aiyun's words and felt a little depressed. Speaking of coaxing, he had been using Feng Ziying's identity to coax him over the years. Although the two of them were much different
There was some use of each other, but in the end Feng Ziying treated him like an elder brother, in a real way.
Not long after returning home that day, Baoyu also came back from the academy. Jia Mu specially called Jia Cong to meet him and let their brothers talk. Jia Cong just made jokes in front of her. Suddenly Jia Mu shouted
Yuanyang said: "Bring those two big cloaks." Then he said to the two of them, "I have kept them for you for a long time."
Jia Congxin said, "Just pay back what you left for Baoyu. Young Master, I live in the house every day, so what should I keep?"
After a while, Yuanyang took out the clothes and took a look. Isn't it the famous bird gold and fur coat? Jia Cong hurriedly waved his hands and said: "What is a boy like me doing wearing such splendid clothes? Ancestor,
Give it to the second sister."
Baoyu saw at a glance that the two clothes were very tight. After hearing what he said, he hurriedly said: "Yes, it's not convenient for me to wear this in the school, so I might as well give it to Sister Lin."
Jia Mu was a little displeased when she saw both of them looking like this, and said, "They are just clothes, worn by both men and women."
How could Jia Cong be willing to wear this? He was really afraid of being embarrassed, so he smiled and said: "This is so big, I am too short, and it doesn't look like it. My sister wears it just right."
Jia Mu thought about it, and then smiled and said, "I never thought about this. You still have to grow in stature for a few years. I just thought that since it is a good thing, I will leave it to you two."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Thank you for your love, ancestors. You can give me a new one in two years when I grow taller."
Mother Jia smiled and said, "You are good at fishing for big fish for a long time and are not willing to suffer any losses. I'll give this to you, Sister Lin."
Jia Cong hurriedly said: "Sister Lin likes green, why not give Sister Lin the green one."
After hearing this, Baoyu immediately said: "Since Sister Lin likes green clothes, give her green ones." He turned around to look at the red one. During his recent days in the academy, he had somewhat changed his classmates and gentlemen's preferences. Look at that.
Red was a little out of his mind, so he smiled and said, "Give this red one to the second sister. Since Cong'er doesn't have it, just give it to the sisters."
When Jia Mu saw that both of them had said this, she could only say, "That's it, you two are too busy."
Jia Cong flattered: "Both of us know in our hearts that when our ancestors get good things, they only care about us first and accept our ancestors' favor."
Baoyu also went up to her and coaxed her with good words for a long time, and said that he had been praised by his husband. Jia Mu held him in her arms and rubbed him for a long time, grinning from ear to ear with joy. Jia Cong was so tired of seeing his grandfather and grandson that he forgot about himself.
, hurriedly sneaked out. Because he frowned alone and said: "Four sisters, two clothes, what to do with the other two."
