Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 218 The Taste of the Western Regions

This time, Lin Daiyu's face turned pale: "Sister Bao, you...you, you mean, it's really my mother who said that 'the daughter's family is also rebellious', she...does she also wear Wearing men’s clothing on the street?”

Baochai smiled and said, "That's right! Your grandmother said this during the Chinese New Year one year. She said that at that time, your mother was reading in the study in men's clothes, and she pulled her ears and brought her back!"

"Boom—crack—"

Daiyu felt as if something was collapsing and broken deep in her heart, but at the same time it was being reorganized.

"I..." It took a long time for Daiyu to recover her voice, "I will go back and ask my mother. As for today's matter... Linzi, I remember I brought a change of clothes, right? Let's change into that When I go back, I just say that I am tired, and I can go back to my room to rest, and I don’t need to tell my mother that I fell off the horse today. I’m fine anyway, so I don’t need to worry my mother, let you be punished.”

"This..." Linzi also looked hesitant, but Daiyu said it again, seemingly determined to hide it from Jia Min.Lin Zixin said that since this was the case, it was better to take good care of the girl according to her wishes when she went back.

When Lin Daiyu changed her clothes, it was still early, but she and Baochai had no new topics to talk about to kill time. Baochai suddenly remembered that there was a treasure hidden in her carriage.

"Sister Bao, what are you doing?"

Lin Daiyu looked at what Yinger took out, which seemed to be a map, many cards, a few pieces of colored wood, and a dice.

"This... this is a board game, called... Ying'er, what did second brother say it was called last time?"

Ying'er smiled and said: "I don't remember what the second master said, what real estate it is, and whose boss it belongs to. Anyway, this game is very fun."

Baochai also said: "Well! Anyway, it doesn't matter what the name is, it's just a game. It's very simple, let me teach you. When the game starts, each player has a game of 1 taels of silver in his hand. Tickets, let’s each choose a piece of wood of a color as our chess piece, and then roll the dice... Come here, buy land, and you can upgrade when you pass by, and others have to pay tolls when you come here..."

In fact, it was a set of game chess similar to Monopoly that Xue Hong made for Baochai when he had nothing to do.This is different from Go, which is more interesting and relies more on luck, so it doesn’t require much thinking.On weekdays, when Xue Hong was tired of reading, he would ask Baochai for a plate to pass the time.Today, Baochai brought it out for Daiyu to play with, just in time for the occasion.

After a fight, Daiyu's luck was slightly worse and she lost.But she had a great time playing it and said happily: "Whose idea was this? It's really fun and tight to play with, but which toy store sells it? I'll buy a set tomorrow too."

Baochai smiled and said: "Haha, there is no place to buy this thing. My second brother made it himself. You see, even the horn slices used to make the cards were chosen by him personally, and the words on it were also written by him himself. Engraved. This is my treasure. If someone else wants to play with it, I won’t let them play with it!”

Baochai caressed the horn pieces made into "opportunity cards" like a baby, but Daiyu was extremely shy: "You...what did you say?"

Thinking that what she had touched and played with just now was made by a man, she felt as if her cheeks were on fire.

Baochai saw that she was shy, and said: "Oh, damn it, just now I was just looking for something to pass the time, but I forgot that this is my brother's handicraft. I didn't think carefully, but did I interrupt you?"

"You...you have to tell me what you are doing, I won't tell you, you did it on purpose..."

Daiyu stood up to leave, but forgot about the injury on her leg for a moment. As soon as she got up, she fell back in pain. Baochai smiled and said: "Look, you can't leave even if you want to. Don't be shy, you If you don't like this, we won't play, I'll put it away now. Let's read Huizi's book quietly, I think Ting'er will be back soon, and we should go have dinner after seeing her."

Sure enough, as Baochai said, they each took a book to read, and after about two cups of tea, Feng Ting returned.However, although she was clearly reading and meditating, Daiyu did not turn over a page without talking, and even her face was still red.

"Girl Bao, sister Lin, come out quickly! My brother and the others have hunted a lot of prey, and they are grilling meat over there!"

As soon as Baochai heard the "barbecue", she stood up with a whoosh, and said happily, "Where is it? Are there enough people? You can ask a few more people to go over and have a barbecue. It is not convenient for us to go there, just tell them to cook more." Send us some, and put less chili. Ah, by the way, don’t be too fat.”

When Feng Ting heard what Baochai said, he ordered all the boys and guards who were following them to come over to help, leaving only the girls here to accompany them.

"Well, you little girl, don't you eat this at home on weekdays? My brother originally sent me to spread the word that there are too many meats over there, and the supply of roasted things is in short supply. He asked me to call some people over. Who knows Before I even spoke, you knew how to send more people over and put less chili pepper. It shows that you are really a big eater!"

Baochai was not annoyed, but said: "When my eldest brother was at home, he would often go hunting on Zhuangzi, and he would bring high-quality venison and wild boar. Barbecue, but recently my second brother got a large cart of spices sold by merchants in the Western Regions. There is a kind of cumin in it. My second brother said it is the best seasoning for barbecue. We made it at home once, and the taste is really similar to Salt and pepper are different. I won’t talk about it for now, you’ll know when the meat is roasted in a while.”

The three beauties were sitting in the tent at the racecourse chatting, not in a hurry to eat, just waiting for the barbecue there.

Not long after, a young servant came over with a cart, Ying'er went to ask questions, and came back and said: "Back to the three girls, our second master said that if you want to eat barbecue, you must roast it fresh. Just now, people have prepared meat skewers that are fat and thin, and taught the two servants how to roast meat, and the seasonings are also provided. We just asked us to find an open space and set up a stove to roast and eat. Two Master said, he can't come here, please girls can eat, if you like, hurry up tomorrow and ask our girls to post a message to invite them to come to the mansion, and the second master will bake it himself and send it to the girls."

Baochai laughed and said, "Then what are you waiting for? Quickly set up the stove. Ask me, two good sisters, to taste the flavors from the Western Regions too!"
