The play was only halfway through, and Jasmine brought a group of little maids to serve snacks: shrimp dumplings, mung bean yellow, wisteria cakes and other fresh snacks that were about an inch in size. Fan, after swallowing, took another sip of white fungus and lotus seed soup, Fang Zan said: "This is a good time to match this cake, sister Dai'er has a heart."

Others also tasted the small snacks in front of them. Shen Ruoyu, who is addicted to food, quickly finished the three shrimp dumplings in front of him. Zhao Qingqing didn't bother to let her, so he finished it by himself. The shrimp dumplings were mixed with crisp vegetables. It tasted so refreshing that Baochai couldn't help finishing it.

Then another round of maids removed the empty plates and served candied fruit and seasonal fruits. Some plates still had one or two snacks, and they had to bow to signal that they could be changed only after obtaining consent.

Sitting next to Su Qinglin was Tanchun, she waved her beautiful fan and asked with a smile: "Miss Jia San must also study and learn needlework with Miss Yingchun, I wonder if the four books can be read?" The banana cloth skirt she is wearing today is embroidered with her favorite Huangmei was wearing a cloud veil outside, and the mutton fat jade bracelet and agate bracelet in his hand were jingling and melodious with the shaking of the fan, which was extremely uncomfortable to Tanchun's ears.

Baochai turned around and asked, "Could it be that Sister Su didn't read the biographies of female precepts, but instead read the Four Books? It is reasonable for my daughter to learn how to be a needlework girl."

These words didn't matter to the ears of the other girls, Xichun turned her head and stared blankly at Baochai, wanting to say something, but Zhao Qingqing stopped her and shook her head slightly.

At this moment, Yue Ronglan flicked his sleeves, put down the self-pourer pot in his hand, and said with a smile: "It must be that Xue's family is in short supply, and even the people who need needlework have been saved." She turned her head playfully and winked at Daiyu: "Fortunately, My sisters and I don’t need to live like this, otherwise, if we are laughed at and trampled on Lingluo, God will not be able to see it.”

Tanchun's ears were red, and the handkerchief in his hand was almost twisted into a rag with shame. Baochai's face was slightly pale, her ears seemed to have not heard, and her eyes were only for the opera in the distance. If you don't look at her, the tips of her ears are red , I thought I had never heard of it.

The girls sneered in their hearts, Yue Ronglan seldom made things difficult for others, she kept on talking before she spoke, and she would make the other party lose face if she spoke, the last time Nan'an princess was so angry at the flower viewing banquet in the palace that she didn't dare to attend it for two months At various banquets, Yue Ronglan's father served as Minister of Rites, and the empress was her aunt. Since she was a child, she had been in the palace to accompany her aunt from time to time. The emperor also liked it. No one would dare to provoke her. Loved being with her.

Daiyu specially reserved lunch for everyone, because Yingchun was sitting with Yang Cheng, and Yang Cheng was also a slow person, so she followed Yang Cheng's example, she looked like a real sister, and Su Qinglin and others laughed, Xichun had Zhao Qingqing Taking care of her, there will be no mistakes. Tanchun had to watch Su Qinglin how to act and learn a little bit more. One of the pearl soup balls is made of tofu, which is soft and fragrant. Baochai used his own soup spoon to scoop it. After she finished spooning, he immediately gave Daiyu the last pearl soup balls on the table. Put it on first, quickly scoop out the bowls of the rest of the tablemates, and serve them one by one, and then quickly order the kitchen to serve another one.

Daiyu nodded appreciatively to this servant girl, she was really clever, no wonder her mother promoted her to be a banquet servant girl.

After the meal, everyone stood up and walked around one by one. Zhao Qingqing liked to draw and heard that Xichun was also a good painter early in the morning. She took her to the desk that had been prepared, and painted in front of the lotus in the lake. Baochai deliberately Wanting to save his own face, he saw that there were only a few colors on the desk, so he smiled lightly and said: "My sister has fewer colors, so it's not very comprehensive, but I can tell my sister what to prepare."

Daiyu was playing with Qian Mingzhu by taking apart a few pictures of butterflies. Hearing what Baochai said, she turned her head away with a half-smile and said, "We are not business people, so naturally we didn't prepare so many colors, and many colors can be adjusted. If it comes out, if there is really no one, I will send someone to buy it at my sister's shop, and my sister will ask the shopkeeper to give you a better price?"

As soon as the words were finished, Qian Mingzhu also said casually: "Miss Xue's family is an imperial merchant, and her family has a big business, so she will not be greedy for your money."

Baochai didn't think that he didn't grasp Daiyu's shortcomings, but was squeezed out by all the girls. He felt annoyed for a while, and said with a smile: "No matter what, my sister can just ask someone to pick it up. There is no reason to ask my relatives for money." .”

"That's right, there are relatives who have circled around. Fortunately, there are not so many relatives in the Xue family, otherwise they would not be enough." Shui Xi also spoke. She and Yue Ronglan were playing another Diejitu, trying to figure out how to start, Bao Chai talked about Daiyu several times, she would be her future sister-in-law, who had always been very kind to her, how could she allow Baochai to say it again and again, gesturing with the square in her hand without raising her head: "It's not comparable to those of us. We have to live in our own home."

Baochai blushed from being stabbed, gritted her teeth, and dragged Tanchun to another small pavilion, followed immediately by two maids.

Everyone ignored them, and played together contentedly. Shen Ruoyu took the fishing rod next to her and Su Qinglin's pocketbook for fishing and gambling. For a while, the whole water pavilion was very unhappy.

Half a day later, Shen Ruoyu lost his purse, Zhao Qingqing got Xichun's picture of lotus leaves after the rain, Xichun got Zhao Qingqing's picture of koi playing flowers, Yang Cheng invited Yingchun to come to his house as a guest, Yingchun hurriedly accepted, and Daiyu took the I gave Qian Mingzhu my picture of Die Ji, and made an appointment to draw the assembled Die Ji pattern and see it at the next party.

The two people who were talking in the small pavilion heard the little maid said that they were going to leave, so they packed up.

Daiyu sent them to Yimen one by one, watched their sedan chairs leave, and then went back to her yard.

Baochai and Sanchun returned to Jia's mansion, and greeted Jia's mother first. Jia's mother asked kindly: "Which young ladies are playing together today, and they get along well?"

Baochai answered one by one, and Tanchun added that they didn't dare to say much about those young ladies, they just picked up some good things to say, and while they were talking, when Baoyu came back, they heard that all the sisters had gone to Lin Xueshi's mansion, He complained: "You didn't even tell me, I can go see Sister Lin!"

Because the banquet was attended by very noble families, Jia's mother quickly comforted her: "Baoyu, it's all girls' gatherings, and outsiders are not allowed to go. Next time your sister comes, I will definitely tell you!"

Then Baoyu smiled and asked, "Have you made any poems yet? Do you have any new sisters? Are you so similar to Sister Lin? The people my sister knows must be excellent! People like this If there are so many, that is the lotus painting of the public beauty appreciation."

Hearing Baoyu's question, Yingchun was horrified, and without waiting for Tanchun and Baochai to come out, she hurriedly said, "This is all a relationship in the boudoir, how can I talk about it!"

Fortunately, Baochai was still the governor, and only diverted Baoyu's words with fresh dramas. Tanchun was depressed all the time, and forced a smile to talk for a long time.

After everyone had eaten, Mother Jia knew that they were tired, so she asked them to disperse first.

Yingchun returned to her room, couldn't help telling these things to Wang Xingfu's family: "Nurse, is Baoyu like this?"

Wang Xingfu's family touched Yingchun's head and said: "The girl is far away, these nuns only know a shadow, if Brother Bao's words spread, it would be disrespectful, go to sleep early, tomorrow Ask your wife to explain and explain, and explain!"

Yingchun nodded, took a bath and changed clothes, and went to rest inside.
