Wait until about three o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun will no longer be as fierce as it is at the right time.Shen Yu looked up at the outside room, moved a stool forward and discussed with Baochai: "The outside room is better, how about going to the lake to see?" "Then please trouble Mr. Shen. I have never seen such a scene when I grow up. How many there are in the backyard is all based on imagination." After speaking, he pursed his lips and laughed at himself: "We just sat and waited at the bottom of the well. Toad, toad, you are not allowed to laugh at Honghu, who has seen the big world outside, and you will turn your face when you laugh." How could Shen Yu see her so narrow and playful, and immediately replied stupidly after hearing her: "Don't laugh Don't laugh, just tell me where you want to go from now on, and I will take you there after I arrange it. With me here, I will never make you feel wronged and suffer. There is no place in this world where you can't go." After thinking about it, he said Feeling that the words were a bit too full, he couldn't help adding a little bit of momentum, "Perhaps you can't go to the palace easily, and it doesn't matter to other places."

Baochai suddenly laughed when he saw him like this: "I remember that when Second Master Shen was working with my family the year before last, he said that his family was from Gyeonggi, so he had to visit the famous mountains and rivers of Gyeonggi first, and then go to the north and south of the river. What is the palace?" Well, the rules are too big, so avoid them just in case you can't do it." When Shen Yu heard that this could be done, it was not in vain, she clenched her fist and knocked on the partition with a light cough.After hearing this, the maidservants guarding in the green gauze cupboard outside came in and put on the veiled hat with Baochai again, and then opened an umbrella to cover their figures.

Shen Yu directly asked for the umbrella from Bailing, and walked on the front stairs to lead the way with Baochai.The young man is tall and slender, with his long arms stretched out to cover him tightly without delaying his activities.Bailing took a step sideways to help Baochai go downstairs, followed by Yinger, while Bailu and Madam Su were still at the end to watch.

The Lion House is already built along the lake, and there is no need to use a carriage to go to the lake by boat.The shopkeeper heard that the guest was going to swim in the lake, so he got out of the soft sedan and took the guest all the way to the dock.There was already a very exquisite black-covered boat waiting here, and the black-covered part was tied with bamboo to form a cabin, just like a single-storey small house, which can just block the view from the outside.The boat lady, wearing a blue homely shirt with her hair covered, tightened the hemp rope at the bow, jumped ashore and asked Baochai to walk up the wide plank with her arms.When Baochai went up and stood still, Shen Yu followed behind and jumped up without anyone's support. The boat had to shake up and down and left and right. I panicked a bit at the beginning, but immediately relaxed and went into the Upeng and sat down against the bamboo wall.

After some movement, the Bailing egrets sat on the bow and the stern of the boat, and only Yinger and Madam Su were there besides Baochai and Shenyu in the Upon.The boat lady smiled and yelled outside, her tone was melodious and melodious, and she grew a little longer, and the boat swayed slowly towards the island in the middle of the lake.At this time, the two windows covered with plain gauze are wide open, and the cool breeze blows slowly across the lake. There are weeping willows, verdant phoenix trees on both sides of the lake, and occasionally young bamboos, reflecting the emerald green water of the lake. more pleasant.

The boat is equipped with a small air stove, and the egret takes it at the stern to boil water and make tea. The sound of silk and bamboo on the distant painting boat is heard from afar, and it is accompanied by the boiling water.The boat lady walked forward with her haggard outside for a while, seeing the crowds of people on the island in the middle of the lake, she hurriedly said to the back: "Guest officer, today the king of Beijing brought his domestic opera singers to play on the island in the middle of the lake. It's singing, there are too many people, I'm afraid my wife will dislike it, why don't you go to the other side to see Jing'er?"

When Baochai heard this, she turned red and looked at Mammy Su, who said with a smile, "Let's go to the shore, we must hurry back at the beginning of the year, or the servants will be in a hurry." Shen Yu smiled. After explaining things like this to the outside, the boat lady realized that she had misunderstood, she bent down to apologize, and she turned the bow of the boat around the island in the middle of the lake and headed for the shore.It took about two quarters of an hour for the light boat to go back to the shore.Shen Yu went ahead to protect Baochai, and his long suit had brought the Xue family's carriage to wait here.

"The shore of the lake here is flat, and the water below it is deep. All boats and boats like to park here, so when I came out of the restaurant, I already told my servants to pull the carriage and wait for it, and prepare to take the eldest girl to her house." Puzzled, she had to explain something, Ying'er hurriedly helped Baochai to get on the carriage first, followed by Egret Bailing and Madam Su to do the job.The coachman raised his whip to urge, and the horseshoes rattled, Shen Yu himself rode on the horse and walked on the side of the carriage, and ordered Chang Sui to get a box from somewhere and came back to tell the coachman of the Xue family: "This is for the wife and the Xue family. Brothers and sisters, try something new, and be careful when you carry it." The coachman put the box firmly in the groove at the back of the shaft, and went all the way into the city gate and then to the east of the city.

Sure enough, the carriage arrived at the side door of Xue's house in Youshi, and Mrs. Xue's capable mother-in-law had long been waiting in front of the door. When she saw the carriage approaching from a distance, she came up to meet her with a smile and said, "Master Shen sent the girl back? Madam is waiting, Mrs. Come and have dinner and then go back, you don’t need to start a fire, and you can bring some fresh dishes from our place to taste with the old man!" Shen Yu got off the horse and handed the reins to Chang Sui to send him to follow the servants of Xue's family, standing in front of him. Waiting for Baochai to come down from the door, the two went to the main courtyard where Mrs. Xue lived.Before arriving at the gate of the courtyard, the woman who received her had passed the news in, and a message came out from inside to tell the eldest girl to go back to the courtyard to wash and change clothes before coming to pay her respects. Baochai led the maids and women to turn around and head west. Let's go, Shen Yu had to bite the bullet and go in to say hello by herself.

When I came to pick up people in the morning, I had greeted Mrs. Xue first, and now I have to invite him again.The remaining masters of Xue's family were sitting in the flower hall of the main courtyard and staring at Shen Yu, making Shen Tongzhi regret that his skin was not thick enough, and if he looked at it again, he would make people look bald.He went to the hall and bowed his hands, and Mrs. Xue was very happy to wake him up, and asked him to sit next to Xue Pan and Xue Biao again. When the servants brought the tea, she asked in a soft voice: "Go, everyone." Where did you play? Are you tired? Has Bao girl ever caused trouble for you?" Don't say that you haven't caused trouble, even if you really have trouble, you can't answer it with a simple voice at this time, otherwise you may not be able to enter the door next time coming.Shen Yu hurriedly smiled and turned sideways to tell Mrs. Xue about the scenery she saw during the lake tour, and there was a bustle on the street all the way, and she was anxious that she had nothing to say, when Baochai happened to bring Yinger over to meet her mother say.

Baochai walked in front with her maid, and Baoqin walked behind with her maid in her arms. The two sisters talked and laughed all the way into the flower hall. Baochai came up first to salute Mrs. Xue.Mrs. Xue saw that the girl was in good spirits, and she didn't show any displeasure on her face, so she knew that the two children got along very well, and she became happy: "Brother Shen took you out for a stroll today, and you can see some Western scenery. ?” Baoqin pursed her lips and grimaced at Baochai from behind, Xue Biao heard a cough, Baoqin hurriedly lowered her head and sat down on the seat, and when she saw that no one was looking at her, she turned her face to her brother and made eyebrows. .

The servant girl in the living room brought new tea, Baochai took a sip and put it down before saying to her mother, "The street outside is very lively. Don't look at the sun, there are still many people shopping." Mrs. Xue looked away again Seeing Xue Pan burying him: "Look at him, I will take your sister out for a while now, how about you? I don't feel sorry for my wife at all!" Dare to grin at her and her sister, so she had to turn her face aside and boldly stare at Shen Yu.Unexpectedly, when Shen Yu smiled and remained unmoved, as if nothing had happened, he lowered his head and hummed obediently: "Got it!"

Xuying sat at the bottom of Mrs. Xue, covering her mouth with a handkerchief and shaking with laughter, she hurriedly took a breath to stabilize her voice and said, "I'm afraid the kitchen has already prepared it, why don't we go to another place for dinner? Master Shen's house And the old man is staying alone in the house." Mrs. Xue then let her son go, got up and went to the dining room.Xue's family changed their dinner rules a long time ago, and now they mostly use vegetables. The rice is mixed with a little mung bean to make sand, and some snowflake powdered sugar is added to it, which is sweet and delicious.If you don’t like sweetness, you can leave it without sugar. There are also four plates on the table, which contain various refreshing side dishes, ranging from sour to spicy. Everyone can use some according to their preferences.Shen Yu was careful, and pinched to see that Mrs. Xue had almost used it, so she stopped and sat upright. The maid next to her brought water for washing hands and rinsing mouth, and served tea after using it again and again.

At this time, most of the other members of the Xue family also made good use of it. After tidying up, Shen Yu stood up and said goodbye. Mrs. Xue hurriedly urged the kitchen to bring up the prepared food boxes and said, "Don't make fun of us for being vulgar. The old man is always tall at home. It's boring, the head of our family left early and it's not easy to entertain, so I have to spend my time getting some food to show my heart." Shen Yu hurriedly got up and dared not say anything, and thanked Mrs. Xue before turning and going out.Baochai only sent him to the second gate, Xue Pan continued to send Shen Yu out of the gate, and his servants handed over the food box to the long follower, and the master and his servants rode to the west of the city.

It is said that Shen Yu went out for a day and did not come back until sunrise.Old Master Shen knew that he had taken the eldest daughter of the Xue family out, so he was not worried. At noon, he asked the chef to cook a dish of gluten-wrapped meat, and ate his stomach full of the fruit wine that the Xue family gave later.The housekeeper Haoxuan persuaded him not to run away, and it would be unreasonable not to call him eating meat, so he had to keep this account in his stomach and wait for Shen Yu to come back and sue him severely.

Shen Yu heard that his grandfather was eating recklessly during the day, and he didn't get angry with him, so he proposed that the food box that the long follower had brought along the way paused in his hand, and then held the food box in front of his nose and weighed it: " Today, the Xue family specially prepared delicious food for you to eat, I think since you have already used it, you don’t need to use it..." He said and put the food box in the housekeeper's hand: "Put it in the kitchen and share it between you two." How can Mr. Shen be willing to say this?When I am old, I still have some appetite left, so naturally I don't want to miss the fresh food, so I hurriedly stopped my grandson and said: "Since someone specially made something for me to eat, why don't you even look at it? Not at noon. Eating indiscriminately, it’s nothing more than asking them to stuff stuffing into the gluten and make meatballs and then cook them in braised sauce, that’s it.” Shen Yu went to see the housekeeper, who said with a sad face: “People make meatballs mostly. Four fat and six thin, good guy, you call the meatballs to make yourself taller, six fat and four thin big meat, you eat delicious, but the small ones are scary. I persuaded you but didn't listen, and turned back to the hands of the second master All the boards have to be hit on the little one, it is better to tell the little one to eat first, lest the second master will not be able to eat if he wants to eat in a fit of rage."

Mr. Shen asked someone to expose his face, and turned his head to pretend to be angry at the housekeeper. The old housekeeper stood still and didn't move with a tired look, so he had no choice but to turn back and smiled and said to his grandson: "Just this time, just this time. Once, the last time this year, it won’t happen again. Will it work?” Shen Yu said angrily, “That’s a good deal. If you want to eat like this again, I won’t care about you. I shouldn't remember you if there are good ones." Old Master Shen nodded in response, and Shen Yu opened the food box.On the top layer is a strip of red chicken shreds and a white soft panna cotta, I don't know what it is.The butler helped bring it out and set it up. The lower floor was food from the northwest. I ordered vinegar and bean sprouts from mung beans. It was just a good appetizer in summer.

The old man tasted the shredded chicken with his chopsticks, nodded and scooped up another piece of jelly, and after putting it in his mouth, he said "Huh?"Shen Yu was curious, and reached out to pick up a piece. After tasting it, she realized that it was a jelly made from fish scales, which is rarely seen on the street today. Only sweet and not fishy at all.Shen Yu tasted it and knew what it was, so he put down his chopsticks and didn't eat much. He used it with his grandfather, and sat idle with him, taking fish jelly to make the big yellow cat meow, and only carried it when it was dark. Empty food box leave.

After returning to her own yard, Shen Yu asked the servants to retreat, holding the food box and looking over it again and again, and finally found a small interlayer in the lower compartment.He poked it in with an ear pick and pried it lightly, and the wooden board embedded on the interlayer bounced off with a clang, and there was a piece of paper written in a hurry inside.Shen Yu took out the folded paper, opened it, and found that it was full of the Jia family's faulty properties outside.Many of them, Shen Yu, looked very familiar. They were just a well-known shop in Beijing that was good at lending money to others, and there were a few people who used to come and go with the second son of the Jia family.Shen Yu refolded the paper and stuffed it into her purse, went out with the food box and asked someone to take it and wash it, then turned back and thought for a long time under the lamp.

On the second day, Shen Yu specifically went to find Liu Zian and asked him to second Liu Xianglian. Liu Zian asked him why, Shen Yu just shut up and pointed to the place where Commander Ma usually stayed. Liu Zian didn't say anything, Immediately took Shen Yu out to look for someone in Goulan Washeri.The two found a play garden in an alley in the north of the capital. On the stage, the coquettish figure in Tsing Yi was pinching orchid fingers and singing, and a teahouse next to it was crowded with people. Liu Zian squeezed in to look for his cousin. She stepped forward and slapped him: "What are you doing? These days, my brothers can't even invite you to drink." Liu Xianglian was making people pester her, when she suddenly heard her cousin's voice, she raised her head and went further away. Look, I saw Shen Tongzhi folded his arms and pretended to be an actor on the stage waiting far away. He hurriedly stood up and pushed away the helpers who were lingering around, and walked out, saying: "My brother is here today, I don't have time to talk to you. gone!"

Some people still wanted to climb up, Liu Erye raised his eyes and cursed, and those idlers who were playing bunt dispersed, and Liu Xianglian took Liu Zian to the place where Shen Yu was standing outside.The three of them met, and then they left the opera garden and walked to the main road. Shen Yu saw that there was a foot shop on the side of the road that was clean, so he opened the curtain and went in and said, "Find a clean corner, pick up clean and fresh ones, and order two or three items at will. .”

Liu Xianglian set out the tea bowls, filled them up one by one with the cold tea brought by the lady in the shop, sat down firmly, and then opened her mouth and asked, "Is there anything I'm looking for?" With the arrogance in his speech, he only lowered his voice and said: "The superiors have handed over an extremely urgent task in the past few days, and want to investigate the illegal affairs of the four kings and eight lords. Now they have found out about the two houses of Jia's Rongning and Ningxia, and someone reported that The elder brother who was born in Hanyu wrote an anti-poem. I know you and that elder brother have always been in harmony, so I came to ask you if there is any injustice here." Liu Xianglian was shocked after hearing this: "You said I'm afraid it's not Baoyu from the second room of the Rongguo Mansion?"

Liu Zian was also surprised and said: "This Jia Baoyu is a famous 'fake' Baoyu in Beijing. Earlier, the mother-in-law of the Fu family came out and said that he was 'wrapped with a pile of straw in the embroidered pillow'. It's not that I looked down on him, so Can a person who likes to go to the girl team all day long have such thoughts?" Shen Yu spread her hands: "My daughter-in-law who let Xiao Ding go is still a cousin of him, didn't you call this person earlier? Once you get involved, there are rumors of beauties outside, how can you not know that this is a master who has nothing to say. But this matter has been stabbed to the top. Since I have a bowl and eat this meal, I have to share it with you. People do their job well.”

Liu Xianglian shook her head and said: "This Baoyu is very different from other people. Sometimes he is as childish as a child, and sometimes he does things that warm people's hearts. For example, in the old five princes' mansion, now an actor from Zhongshun Wang's mansion can't bear to be beaten and ran out. Asking him for protection, this kid didn't care if he had the ability or not, but actually helped him hide it. Only when the matter was revealed later, he was the one who vomited all over the rented house. We played well in the early years, that is, the elder brother of the Qin family named Qin Zhong. Their family members are all dead, and they don’t even have a grave repairer. So Baoyu still reads every year and sends people to go with him He covered it with soil and offered something." At this point, Liu Xianglian took a sip from the tea bowl, then continued in her hand: "I still believe the anti-poetry mentioned by others, but Jia Baoyu, I'm afraid I don't even know how to write it. He is usually eccentric. He doesn't like to listen to people talking about his economic career, and he doesn't like to be persuaded to make progress. He only looks at appearance when making friends with people. It doesn't matter what his temperament is. The better he is, the more favored he is. He actually only looks at his face." Shen Yu said to him: "Since that's the case, I will leave this matter to you to investigate and find out what's going on. Just remember that no matter what you investigate, you must not reveal the errands assigned by your superiors. Let outsiders know. As for the elder brother of the Jia family himself, when he finds out what happened, he only blames his father for failing to teach, and more is still on the neighbors of the Jia family." Liu Xianglian sneered after hearing this: "If we talk about this, Don’t worry, Tongzhi. I’ll keep it in three or five days and I’ll reply to you.”

Shen Yu didn't say much after listening, and took the tea bowl by herself.As soon as Liu Xianglian saw Gong Gong got up, she went outside, maybe she was looking for something in the market.

The author has something to say: The Jia family has started counting down.

I reasoned it out again, the Jia family's failure should not be a matter of a day or two.It's just that from Jia Baoyu's point of view, the family fell apart overnight, but it can't be just a few months from being disgusted by the superiors to being completely a victim of Huangquan's strife.Of course, because the author is clumsy, this process has been simplified. Forgive me for my low IQ!

I feel like I need a set of high-quality mind-eye soul guards around my neck...
