Cold fragrance and warm jade [Red Mansion Chai Dai]

Most of the desserts served are lotus cakes, hawthorn cakes, rose cakes, tuckahoe cakes and other pastries, as well as pickled green plums, pickled salty apricots, etc., and almond paste.There are not many pastries of various colors, but they add up to a lot.

Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang had tasted some before, but now that the girls are seated again, they naturally need to make up for it.

Mrs. Wang looked at it, and said suddenly: "Although everyone eats too many banquets these days, it would be rather bland to eat only these."

Wang Xifeng laughed quickly and said: "Don't worry about it, I also ordered people to prepare some goose palms and duck letters, so that if anyone wants to drink, and there is tofu soup, although the tofu is eaten, it is still simmered in chicken soup. And some ham."

Mrs. Wang nodded her head, but she felt a little more worried.

She asked Wang Xifeng like this just now, but she wanted to take the opportunity to beat Wang Xifeng again, don't let Wang Xifeng express her approval for Baoyu and Daiyu's marriage so openly.

Naturally, Wang Xifeng also understood, so she just sent Xiangyun to sit next to Jia Mu, and then went to greet others.

When Jia Mu saw that Baoyu and Daiyu were sitting together, they were no longer noisy as before. They were still talking and laughing, so she let go of her heart and talked and laughed with Shi Xiangyun.

Although Xiangyun is thinking about Baoyu, he also cares about Jiamu. Seeing that no one else cares about competing with him for Jiamu, he naturally concentrates on talking and laughing with Jiamu.

The girls never eat much, and even like Yingchun, they skip one or two meals from time to time, and now these pastries are only eaten as snacks, but they have not been sitting for a long time, and then went to play separately.

Baoyu watched Yingchun and Xichun playing Go together again, turned to Daiyu and said, "Sister Lin, don't you bother me anymore?"

Daiyu laughed and said, "So what if I'm annoyed? It happened after all. It's just that you don't do this again in the future."

As she spoke, she waved her hand to signal Zijuan to come forward.

Zijuan has been with Daiyu for a long time, and she also understands what Daiyu thinks, so she immediately takes out three purses and hands them to Daiyu.

But Daiyu didn't pick it up, she just babbled at Baoyu.

Baoyu took the three purses and looked at the workmanship first.

There were only three purses embroidered with plum, orchid and chrysanthemum, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Why don't you also prepare one for bamboo?"

Looking at the craftsmanship of the purse, although it is exquisite, it is obviously not made by Daiyu, and he already feels a little regretful.

Finally, I reached out and squeezed, and there seemed to be something in the purse.

Baoyu was about to reach out and untie the purse to see what Daiyu had packed in it.

Daiyu hastily stretched out her hand to stop him: "Wait a minute!"

She beckoned and asked Baoyu to come over, and Fang whispered: "There is a note in each of the three purses, but I asked Chongyu to write it. Maybe it can help you after you go out. You must remember After you go out, if you really encounter some problems, open them and look at them. If you don’t need them in the end, that’s the best.”

Baoyu was puzzled, but seeing what Daiyu said, he had no choice but to suppress his curiosity and put away the three purses first.

Daiyu watched him put the purse in his arms, pursed her lips and smiled and said, "Baoyu, you have to hide it carefully, don't be seen by those little guys outside, and when you untie your things, put the three It's gone too."

Xiangyun happened to hear this too, and hurriedly said: "No! I still remember that once, my second elder brother asked me to tie a few ties a few days ago. Within two days, those ties were taken away by those little servants. It's gone!"

Baoyu wanted to tell Daiyu that he never lost the things Daiyu gave him, but he didn't dare to say anything after hearing Xiangyun's complaints. He could only smile at them.

Seeing Mrs. Wang, she shook her head secretly.She didn't know what Daiyu and Baoyu said just now, but when she saw the two getting very close, she felt worried.Now hearing what Xiangyun said, he started to worry about Xiangyun again.

After all, among these girls, Sister Sanchun and Baoyu are not brothers and sisters of the same father, they are also cousins ​​who are very close in the same clan, so there is nothing to worry about.But among the other girls who had close contacts with Baoyu, Xiangyun and Daiyu could marry Baoyu.

But she looked at these two people, but none of them could make progress in reading with Baoyu like Baochai.Even though Xiangyun once said that Baoyu should accompany the master to meet guests more often, but in the end Xiangyun often only cared about playing with Baoyu, and even seduced Baoyu to play, Madam Wang didn't want Xiangyun and Daiyu They are all too close to Baoyu.

In this way, Mrs. Wang cared more about Baochai again.

Just looking at Baochai standing with Li Wan now, watching the snow scene outside the window, the two are standing side by side, Baochai also has Li Wan's chaste and quiet temperament, and Mrs. Wang is even more satisfied.

She was a little hesitant about talking about Jin Yuliang marriage before, but now she really made up her mind.

Even though the Xue family now needs some help from the Jia family in turn, and the Xue family still needs to rely on the power of the Jia family, it is Baochai who is better.Knowing the roots and the bottom line can urge Baoyu to learn well.So, who else is better than Baochai?

When Mrs. Wang was thinking, Mother Jia was already a little tired and was about to take a rest, so she only let Baoyu and others play freely, and asked Xifeng to order the kitchen to prepare hot porridge, and anyone who wanted to eat could bring it at any time , Fang asked Yuanyang to help him go back to his room and go to sleep.

Mrs. Jia is not there, and Mrs. Wang is no longer with her.

Xiangyun used to talk and joke with Jia's mother a lot. Seeing that Jia's mother had gone, he took Baoyu to ask Baoyu to tell him what he saw on the street yesterday, and asked him what new things he saw besides the face.

Tanchun is also interested in the outside world. Hearing this, he hurried over to listen to Baoyu.

Daiyu looked at Baochai, just as Baochai was also looking at her.

Daiyu moved to a small table by the window and sat down, only to see Baochai pouring two cups of warm rice wine, and asking Yinger to come over with a plate of Poria cocos cake.

"I know you've never been strong enough to drink, it's just that it's a little cold here, why don't you drink some to warm up your body. If you eat some tuckahoe cakes, there will be something in your stomach, so you don't burn your stomach with just drinking. I just saw that you were only talking to Baoyu , but didn’t eat much.”

Baochai said, and brought the wine to Daiyu.

Daiyu hurriedly took it, and slowly sipped half of it. Fang smiled and said, "It's still my sister who is thoughtful. I drank half a cup, and it really warmed me up."

Baochai had already picked up a small piece of Poria cocos cake and fed it into her mouth: "But you only heard what I said before, but you didn't even listen to what I said after?"

Daiyu took a bite, swallowed it, and smiled, "I just don't know if my sister is talking about eating Poria cocos cake, or if I'm talking to Baoyu?"

Before Baochai could answer, Ying'er had already burst out laughing.

Daiyu and Baochai stared at her together, and she quickly covered her mouth and said, "Yinger is wrong, Yinger is going to play with Zijuan and the others!"

As she said that, she let go of her hand, took Zijuan who was following Daiyu, hurriedly walked away, and then laughed again.

The girls didn't notice this for a while, so Daiyu couldn't help sighing, and said, "Sister Bao, do you think they spent too much to see Baoyu off? I just don't like the willow tree. Since I came home, I have You have to look at the account book yourself, and I heard my family members talk about how difficult it is to live outside, and I also heard my father say that we should cherish blessings after all. You said, if you spend so much, can you count as cherishing blessings?"

Baochai also sighed: "Isn't it? I was thinking the same way. It's all right. Since it's not the season for willows to germinate, it's fine to just take willow branches. Why bother to use these silk threads to make branches and leaves?"

Daiyu hurriedly approached Baochai and said, "There is still a little more!"
