Jia Yun's counterattack is right

Yingchun was thinking about entering the palace, so naturally this is a rare time for the sisters to gather together.Tanchun's eyes were mostly envious, and he was secretly heartbroken for his concubine.

Cold food porridge, cold food noodles, cold food syrup, green rice and glutinous rice are placed on the suet jade-like marble table.There are also snacks such as jujube cakes, barley barley, and divine delicacies.There are dozens of kinds of spring wine, new tea, clear spring sweet water, etc. on the small stone table next to it.

Tanchun took a bite of the green dumpling with a small plate, and felt that his mouth was savory, sweet but not greasy.I fell in love with it immediately, and asked Daiyu: "This thing looks like dough. Why is it so delicious? I can't keep my mouth open. You can tell me how to do it. It will make people greedy when I turn around." Made it for me."

"It's up to you to pick. I made this with my godmother this morning." Daiyu scratched Tanchun's nose,

"It's not difficult to say, just chisel the brome juice and glutinous rice together, mix the green juice and rice flour evenly, then wrap your favorite fillings such as bean paste and jujube paste, use reed leaves as the bottom, and put them in the steamer Pour the water soaked in the peach blossoms the day before and steam it for two minutes."

"Hahaha, this is much more delicious than chicken soup boiled for another 49 hours, and duck soup boiled for another 49 hours and finally an eggplant poured out." Xichun also grabbed one and stuffed it into his mouth, and ate it. A mouthful of glutinous sweetness.

Zhou Rui's family only felt harsh, thinking it was nothing more than a "sparrow without arms". How could I know it was good, I only cook some food that can only be found in a small family, and thinking of Mrs. Bu's background, I shyly approached the young lady Er said:

"If you want to talk about the cold food festival, you should eat more melons and fruits. The honeydew melon that our concubine concubine gave to the old majesty in the palace yesterday, it tastes like a mouthful of honey, it is crispy and sweet. The slaves just smell it Xiang feels like eating honey in his mouth.”

Li Wan also smiled and said: "It's a pity that I didn't get the good fortune, but the girls got one. It is said that there are only ten in the entire harem. No matter how many masters are in it, they don't have to eat, but I let you get it." Cheap."

Tanchun hooked Li Wan's arm and said, "Originally, the reward was half a piece, but the reward was only a piece the size of a fingernail. It melted in the mouth after chewing twice, but it was addictive." Addiction. After all, it’s better not to eat.”

Xichun's eyes lit up, and he said, "Since Brother Yun can get something so rare as a golden flower tree for Sister Lin, why don't we ask him to get some honeydew melons for us, we have to call him brother anyway. "

Baochai secretly rejoiced, and said in a related manner: "Indeed, we should call Brother Yun anyway, a little fruit is nothing."

Yingchun pinched Xichun's face, covered her stomach and laughed for a long time, until Xichun's tears came out, then pointed to her nose and said: "Look at you greedy cat, you don't say anything when you are a guest at someone's house, you still light it up." I want it tomorrow. Brother Yun is not busy with business every day, but he still begs for food for us!"

Daiyu also thought it was funny, but felt that the fruits they mentioned were familiar to her, so she asked Zijuan to find the housekeeper and said: "Didn't you guys send a lot of fruits last night, and serve some. Now these weekdays We’ve had enough, let’s replace it. If any of you are thirsty and hot, just take it and eat.”

The housekeeper thanked you generously, and then said: "It is true that a lot of melons and fruits have been sent outside, but I just think that I am a bit cold, and I am afraid that the girl will hurt her stomach if she eats it. If the girl wants it, the servant will ask someone to bring it, but don't eat it. too much..."

"Girls are here with us, if you don't send them here, you'll just treat them like your prince's house~" After Xichun finished speaking, the girls covered their noses and chuckled.

The housekeeper's wife was agile, and in a short time, people sent more than ten kinds of melons and fruits.It's just that there is no honeydew melon as they said, but they are all rare. Xichun took a bite of the yellow-skinned melon and said: "If this melon is not yellow-skinned, it really tastes like a honeydew melon. It is so sweet that the tip of my tongue is full of sweetness." It’s like honey, but it still has a floral fragrance.”

Zhou Rui's family was nothing more than King Ming's Mansion, and the housekeeper invited her and other maids from Rongguo Mansion to go down to the corner pavilion to have a rest and have some drinks, so she didn't hesitate.

The corner pavilions are used by the servants to rest their feet when they are tired from walking in the garden, and the servants who often come from outside often let them come here to rest.

Before they arrived, Zhou Rui's family only saw a lot of fruit on the table in the middle, and felt that his mouth was dry all of a sudden.Just now, I smelled a familiar fragrance. I walked over quickly and saw that the white round egg with a light green pointed tail looked so like a honeydew melon given by the palace.

The housekeeper only sent them here and left first when she had something to do. Zhou Rui's family and Xue Baochai's maid, Ying'er, both set their eyes on Yuangua in unison.

Ask the little maid to cut it open and take a look. After a sip, she can only feel the fruity aroma is attractive, and the aftertaste is endless after swallowing.The small piece of honeydew that Xue Baochai got was given to Yinger, her personal maid, but now after she tasted it, she only invited the little maid from the nearby palace to ask:

"Dare to ask Miss Sister what kind of melon this is, why does it taste the same as the honeydew melon given by the imperial court?"

Zhou Rui's family was also shocked when they glanced at the mountains of melons piled up on the surrounding hills, and there were many fruits that she had never seen even in Rongguo Mansion.There are pitted, hairy, and black seedless grapes.

"My sister is so good at joking, what kind of fruit here is not the fruit bestowed by the emperor? It's just that our master said that we have to reward it several times a day. The three masters in the family can't eat so much. When the time comes, it will be wasted and distributed to us. People ate it. If my sister thinks it is delicious, she can pack a few to quench her thirst on the way."

After speaking, I just feel that the people in Rongguo Mansion are nothing more than that, it's embarrassing to make a fuss about a little fruit.

Zhou Rui's family hurriedly stuffed two into the arms of the little girl behind him, thinking about taking them back to show to his wife.Later, I thought, isn't this just to make my wife vomit?The imperial concubine didn't even get the whole fruit, so she piled it up here and ordered it to be eaten by others... Zhou Rui's family just felt as if they were struck by lightning, and they were dumbfounded after thinking about it.

"It's not very good, but there is a kind of cantaloupe, which is transported from Hami in southern Xinjiang. There are only a dozen of them offered for offering every year, and that is the best. That's what the masters eat, which is comparable to this honeydew melon. Delicious, more precious than gold."

Zhou Rui's family just felt that their old face was a bit unbearable, but Ying'er was fine, she just stood aside silently, looking at everything carefully so that she could return to her daughter.

Seeing that they were a little sleepy from playing, Lin Daiyu led the girls to her Wan Yue Xuan to rest.Li Wan naturally kept silent, just watched with a smile.

When Xichun entered Wanyuexuan, I just liked it very much, whether it was rockery rocks, clusters of new bamboos in the corner of the courtyard, or pots of phalaenopsis, yinglan, gladiolus, red, white, flower colors, and even black tulips. placed under the window.

Entering Daiyu's boudoir, she sighed again and again, the bird screen inlaid with turquoise and shells, with a lively look and a flying spirit.There is also a dark red coral tree as tall as a person, needless to say how rare it is.Not to mention the dazzling array of hand-copied calligraphy and paintings, authentic pens and inks, which are really full of national beauty.

Xue Baochai strolled past the archway covered with green vines and camel roses, and looked back, it turned out that the indoors echoed the outdoor vines, which added a lot of fun to life.

"This western clock is rare, at least a thousand taels, right?" Xue Baochai casually picked up the gold-rimmed and hollowed-out clock on the shelf, and saw that there was a writing on the bottom of the seat: "Daughter Yu'er, four-year-old birthday. Have you seen it placed before?"

After Xue Baochai finished speaking, she only felt regretful. At the beginning, she had heard from her mother that many treasures in the Lin family were originally kept by the Wang family.Later, their mother and daughter were afraid that Mrs. Wang would be angry and hurt her body, so they paid 1000 taels to Mrs. Wang to buy a pair of Baifu pictures written by famous artists...

Lin Daiyu was already displeased with the philistine tone of her coming here casually, and then thought about how these things would never see the light of day if her brother hadn't asked for them back for her!I am afraid that even a little thought about my parents on weekdays is useless.Immediately pushed back and said: "Of course I don't know how much money is in taels like Sister Bao, but it's just a thought my father left for me. More or less are meaningless."

Even though Xue Baochai was always prudent, it was inevitable that her ears would blush.

Tanchun took the opportunity to smile and said, "For those who don't know anything like us, even if the best things are in front of us, they don't know. It's Sister Bao who knows a lot."

After talking, Baochai's complexion became even worse. Isn't this a joke that she is the daughter of a merchant who is well-informed?So she opened her eyelids lightly, looked at Tanchun and said: "My mother only has one daughter, so naturally she loves her so much, she often asks my brother to bring some strange things."

Tanchun didn't expect that Xue Baochai could directly pierce the pain in her heart that she was not a concubine daughter or Wang's relative, and also implied that he was not loved by her brothers without her.

Xichun only cares about having fun, how could she know this, she just smiled lightly and said, "I think it's a good thing, let alone put it on display, I'm willing to hug it to sleep at night."

Li Wan also smiled and interrupted the conversation, and started to look at calligraphy and painting with Dai Yuyan.

It wasn't until it was almost dinner time that a room full of maids reluctantly returned to Rongguo Mansion.It's just that the mood has changed somewhat.

Baochai went back and briefly told Baoyu about Miss Lin's current situation, but said that Mingwang's mansion was too luxurious, bigger than Rongguo's mansion, but it was pitiful for Miss Lin to live alone there.

Jia Baoyu was even more worried when he heard this, and Baochai said sweetly, "I wish I could spend more time with you."

Jia Baoyu had no other choice but to beg Sister Bao, who had begged a hundred times, to visit more often.
