New Dream of Red Mansions

Chunlan happily came in from the outside, "Girl, Miss Lin, Second Master Bao just wrote a poem in the garden and won the master's praise. The old lady is happy. Let the girls come over for dinner tonight. There is the bad duck's feet that the girls like most. "

Daiyu wondered, "What poem did Second Brother Bao write?"

"It's too much. I can't answer Miss Lin's question like this."

Xiyan laughed and said: "Baoyu is really understandable in this respect, but even if Baoyu says a flower, my uncle will have nothing good to say." Then, Xiyan followed Jia Zheng's stern face, looked at Daiyu angrily, and said : "Bastard, hurry up and fork it out! It's full of nonsense!"

Daiyu was stunned for a moment, burst out laughing, and then said seriously: "Don't do this again, uncle is an elder after all, if it spreads, you will be interested."

Xiyan smiled indifferently and said, "It's just in front of my sister."

Word has been passed down from the palace that Jia Yuanchun will come back during the Lantern Festival, and Jia's family will be here with all of their body and mind. Xiyan was able to propose to Jia's mother at this time to go to Anping Street to celebrate the New Year with the third and sixth grandpas.

The Spring Festival is a festival for members of the regiment, and Mother Jia would not stop it. Ignoring Mrs. Wang's anxiety, she nodded and smiled and said, "You just go, and I will send someone to pick you up after the seventh day of the lunar new year." Brother Yu is back. "Your grandparents are getting old, and the older people will inevitably like to look at the younger generation. You have to serve them well when you go back."

Xiyan nodded and glanced at Mrs. Wang out of the corner of her eyes. Knowing that Mother Jia wanted Brother You to serve her grandparents, she was satisfied, so she didn't care about the gloomy look in Mrs. Wang's eyes.

After going back, Daiyu took out some things and said, "This is something I prepared for the third grandpas, you take it for me."

Xiyan smiled and said, "The third grandma will say that my hand is not as good as yours after receiving it."

"You have grandparents and you still want to bury me like this."

Xiyan laughed and said, "What is there to compare us to? I have grandparents, don't you have a grandmother? After the Lantern Festival, the mansion will not be so busy. I will ask the old lady to show me that I will take you to Anping Street as a guest." The old lady will be happy to see someone doting on you again, and then I will use your name to meet my grandparents."

Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled, "That's what I wish for."

Wang's house on Anping Street is a courtyard with three entrances, but the backyard is not enough, but the backyard of the neighbor's family is opened up, so it looks very big, with four small courtyards.

It is said that the previous family bought it with the family next door. In addition, there is a small garden in the backyard, and the third grandma took care of the small garden very well.

At that time, the third grandpa fell in love with this yard because of this, it was just enough for their family to live in, and the land could keep the third grandma from being too idle. The third grandma liked to grow flowers, so she set aside a piece of land to grow vegetables for the third grandpa and the sixth grandpa. , and the others are all planted with the flowers I love, and a lot of them have bloomed over the past year. Although it is winter, several kinds of flowers have also bloomed, which adds a lot of interest to the cold yard.

The third grandma took Xiyan's hand excitedly, and said with a smile: "It just so happened that I cleaned up the plum garden for you. The house is burning warmly. Go wash it up first, and then talk."

Xiyan had never seen this yard before, so she turned around curiously.Plum Garden, as the name suggests, is full of plum blossoms, and now it is the season when plum blossoms are in bloom, and there is a faint fragrance at the tip of the nose.

Xiyan smiled and said, "I like this garden."

The third grandmother has the joy of being recognized.

Brother Yu lives here most of the time, so he also has his own yard, which is next door.Guanshi Zhuang, Zhuang Sheng and others also live here, knowing that Xiyan will come over today, they are all waiting in front to say hello.

Manager Zhuang led his subordinates to greet Xiyan respectfully. The third grandfather and the sixth grandfather had also seen Xiyan's methods and knew that they should not treat each other as a child, so they were not surprised by this.

Xiyan smiled and said: "Today is the new year, you should go back early, I brought back Madam Zhuang, and your family can also be reunited." Xiyan looked at the third grandfather and said, "Let our family talk gone."

The third grandfather nodded, waved and said, "Go down."

This is the second time for the family to spend the Spring Festival together. Thinking that Xiyan will leave after the seventh day of the lunar new year, although it is only a few streets away in Rongguo Mansion, but they cannot see each other, what is the difference between thousands of miles away?

The third grandma was inevitably sad, and the third grandpa hurriedly said: "There will always be a better time."

The third grandfather was afraid that Xiyan and Brother You would be impulsive, so he approached Xiyan to persuade him afterwards: "Your third grandmother is also afraid that you will suffer in Jia's house. Although we can't be together for a long time now, it is not bad now. Your uncle is just We are afraid that we will affect his official career, and in a few years, once the wind dies down, nothing will happen."

Xiyan nodded and said, "Don't worry, Third Grandfather, Xiyan knows." It was also because Wang Ziteng was afraid that they would affect his career and did not make unnecessary moves, so she managed to calm down.Otherwise, with his current power, it would not be very difficult to do anything to Brother Yu.

Throughout the ages, there have been countless methods of being so dirty that people can't catch them.

Xiyan brought Wei Fu's family back. With her here, the food at home has definitely improved. Brother You hugged his stomach in satisfaction and shouted: "Sister, it would be great if Wei Fu's family could stay."

Xiyan laughed and said: "Why not? Let her stay later, just let her take care of the third grandpa and the others."

Brother Yu was taken aback for a moment, then overjoyed, he hugged his sister and said joyfully, "Then I will eat her stewed eight-treasure soup every day."

"If you have the ability to make her stew every day, then eat it every day."

Brother Yu choked, buried his head in his sister's neck and didn't speak.

Wei Fu's family got his sister's true biography, and his sister's instructions, he must follow his pulse for everything, I'm afraid he can only eat twice a week at most.

Xiyan laughed.

Wei Fu's family has been taking Zhui'erniang with her for the past few years. Although Zhui'erniang's craftsmanship is not as good as that of Wei Fu's, it's okay to stay with Xiyan. Even if Brother You doesn't mention it, she still wants to take Wei Fu's Sending it out, you must know that she recruited Wei Fu's family to train her for Brother Yu?Now Brother You lives here on Anping Street most of the time, so Wei Fu's family will naturally give it away.

On the 29th of the new year, Xiyan cooked a lot of delicious food in person, took three food boxes and handed them to Manager Zhuang, "You send them yourself, just say that I respect the old lady."

Manager Zhuang should go down.

Mother Jia opened the three food boxes, and saw that there was a food box inside that was Daiyu's favorite food, and the others each had a favorite dish. They nodded with satisfaction, and smiled at Yingchun and the others: "It's hard for her to miss you all." , you all have dinner here tonight, let the small kitchen heat up, and there is no need to prepare so many things in the big kitchen today."

Yuanyang heard the words and went down to give orders.

Grandpa Six bought a lot of firecrackers this year in order to be more lively, and smiled at Brother Yu: "All these firecrackers are yours this year, I'll have someone clean up the yard, and have a good time tonight."

The third grandma scolded: "What if I scare the child?" The third grandma saw that the snow outside was as thick as a finger, she shook her head and said, "Brother Yu is weak, let the people below let him go."

The sixth grandfather disagreed, "How can a boy refuse to set off firecrackers? It is because of his weakness that he wants to set off firecrackers, to remove all the bad luck of the year, and next year he will be a strong boy again."

The third grandfather saw that Brother Yu was eager to try, so he smiled and said: "Let him go, he won't be afraid if he wears thicker clothes."

Xiyan smiled and said, "I'll let him go with him."

Grandpa Six laughed. Although Xiyan was resourceful, she might not be able to set off firecrackers. When she was young, many girls in the countryside were afraid to set off firecrackers.

The third grandma thought so too, only the third grandpa looked at Xiyan approvingly.

Xiyan had no idea what was so commendable about it.

On New Year's Eve, after everyone finished eating, Xiyan went back to her room and changed into a more convenient short jacket. She stood neatly beside Brother Yu, took the burning incense, and covered her ears after lighting it from a distance. Standing aside, watching the crackling firecrackers, Xiyan couldn't help laughing out loud.

When I was young, I was in the orphanage. This was a buddy that everyone robbed. Xiyan also robbed him when he was young. For this reason, he had a fight with someone in the snow. Although she lost in the end, the orphanage In order to comfort her swollen face, her mother promised her ten disassembled firecrackers. Since she was a child, she admired how the boys in the orphanage set off firecrackers, so she knew many ways to set off firecrackers.

When Brother Yu had just set off two strings, Xiyan had already run out of the fireworks and started lighting them.

The third grandpa, the third grandma and the sixth grandpa stood on the porch watching the two teenagers running around lighting the fireworks. The third grandpa saw Xiyan holding a medium cannon in his hand and threw it out, shaking his head and laughing: "It can be seen that we still underestimate her."

Among the two children, the third grandpa and the sixth grandpa still like Brother Yu the most.Not only because Brother Yu is a boy, but also because Brother You behaves like a smart and normal child, and Xiyan... the two old people looked at each other, and it is undeniable that although they admired her, they were wary of her , she is too smart, not smart enough for her age, although it is forced by the situation, but the two of them are distressed but they can't completely trust each other.

No one knew better than them that the adoption was completely calculated by her, but now outside, she and Brother Yu were completely victims, and even Jin himself believed that she designed her to adopt.Although they had nothing left to be calculated by others, the sense of crisis in their hearts still made them not as close to Brother Yu as they were to Xiyan.

How could Xiyan not know?But she just doesn't care too much, in her heart, the only family member is Brother Yu.As long as Third Grandpa and the others treat Brother Yu sincerely.

Brother You hasn't been so happy for a long time, and now he looks at his sister with bright eyes, "Sister, where are we going to celebrate the New Year the day after tomorrow?"

"First go to the third uncle's side, then go to Jia's mansion the day after tomorrow, then to your husband's house, and then to the third grandpa's friends' house, then my sister will not follow."

Brother You was a little disappointed, Xi Yan put on his hat with a smile, and said with a smile: "Sister will make dessert for you at home." Brother You likes to eat sweets, hearing this, he felt happy and agreed happily.

Brother You just met a few friends, and they made an appointment to hang out together. Xiyan knew that Xia Yuntian introduced those people, and after asking about the situation of the other party, she asked Zhuang Guanshi to inquire about it. She didn't suspect that Xia Yuntian introduced them He is afraid that the other party will not accept Brother You's status as a literati.

We must know that the civil and military disputes are becoming more and more serious now.

Hearing that some of them chose to take the imperial examination, and Brother You got along well with them, Xi Yan was relieved.

Xiyan gave Brother You 50 taels of scattered banknotes, and whispered, "You are still young now, so don't drink if you can, and if you want to drink, drink less, you understand?"

Brother Yu nodded.

"Go, go early and come back early."

Li Su and the others had already got on their horses and waited aside. When they saw Brother Yu coming, they smiled and said, "I'll just wait for you alone." Seeing that he was wearing a thick robe and a white fox with a red feather and crepe mask on it. leather crane cloak.It makes a face even more powder-carved and jade-carved.

Li Su and the others were stunned, then smiled and said, "Are you so afraid of the cold? You're just riding a horse, but you're armed from top to bottom."

Brother Yu said distressedly: "It's all my sister, she said I can't stand a little wind, so that's why someone made it for me."

A few teenagers made fun of it, and galloped away in fresh clothes and angry horses.

"Brother Yu, didn't you say you wanted to take us to meet your senior brothers? When will they have time?"

"I'm afraid we have to wait until February, when all the senior brothers will be back, how about we go to the Great Compassion Temple?"

"Great Compassion Temple? How about the Huguo Temple?"

"Spring flowers, autumn moons, each has its own strengths."
