[Red House] No one knows that it is lychee

Chapter 21 Salt and Pepper Peanuts

Jia Baoyu seemed to like this jelly very much, and the lychee also touched his taste inexplicably.Seeing Jia Baoyu eating with relish, Lizhi explained: "Don't be greedy for too much at a time."

Jia Baoyu nodded, and he didn't have time to say yes, and the movements in his hands were not slow.After a while, he ate up a bowl of jelly, even so, Jia Baoyu was still a little unsatisfied: "Is there any more?"

The Xiren on one side saw the opportunity, rushed up and said: "Don't eat, wait carefully for a while, the old lady asked why she didn't eat, and said she was full."

This time Lizhi clearly saw Jia Baoyu roll her eyes, she pursed her lips, suppressed the smile on her face, coughed twice and said: "Second Master wants to eat, I can do it anytime. Give these sisters a taste."

Qingwen also chimed in: "Yes, I would like to try it too. How is this southern Fujian product different from ours?"

Jia Baoyu has always been more tolerant when facing his big maids. Hearing what Qingwen said, he smiled and said, "Forget it, the left and right lychees can't escape, and you can eat the rest yourself."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qingwen on the side had already picked up the bowl.She has a good relationship with lychee, and has a deeper understanding of lychee craftsmanship, so she is not polite when eating.

All of a sudden, the big maids in the yard were feasting one after another, only one Xiren stood aside, neither smiling nor joining, it was very embarrassing.

After a while, Jia Baoyu went into the room to rest, Lizhi was packing things slowly, and Qingwen on the other side quietly approached her, and whispered to her: "Did you see Xiren's eyes just now? "

ah?Lizhi looked at Qingwen in confusion, as if she didn't know anything: "What's wrong?"

Qingwen was almost annoyed by Lizhi's reaction, she poked Lizhi's forehead in a funny way: "You have to be careful, if the attackers are after you, Madam, I'm afraid you won't be able to get it right."

Lychee's heart suddenly "thumped" - she was right, after such a long time of happy days, she almost forgot Mrs. Wang, the number one villain in the red building!

In fact, Lizhi really doesn't have many impressions of Mrs. Wang. Most of them come from the original text of A Dream of Red Mansions, and there are various colleagues.But without exception, in those fanfictions, Mrs. Wang was all written as a stupid and stupid poisonous woman.

...It doesn't make sense, no matter how bad the Jia family is, it's impossible for the mistress of the second room to be so stupid.

Lizhi bit her lip and said in a low voice, "I know what's in my heart, don't worry, sister."

After Lizhi returned to her room, she found that the parrot hadn't left yet.It was as if he had fallen for her.Lizhi was angry and funny, and wanted to drive it away, but the parrot actually started to act cute: "Don't drive it away, don't drive it away!"

Just now in Jia Baoyu's yard, the sense of crisis aroused by Xiren and Mrs. Wang was immediately diluted by the parrot in front of him.Lizhi looked at the colorful big macaw, and couldn't help but smiled: "Forget it, since you want to stay here, it's okay. It's just that you can eat whatever I do in the future, and you can eat it if you don't eat it." I have nothing to eat."

The parrot tilted its head, as if it understood.Lizhi stared at it for a while, and then she was discouraged: "I'm fine, what's the matter with a parrot..."

Saying that, Lizhi put a small bag of peanuts in front of the parrot: "Take it."

The parrot screamed, and after Lizhi climbed onto the bed, it flapped its wings quietly and flew away.

Liu Xianglian was sitting in her study room, it was obviously a big house, but the decoration inside looked old and outdated, not only the things were not new, even the walls were mottled.

It's just that Liu Xianglian didn't care.

He has lived in such an environment for many years, and this house is regarded as a relic left to him by his parents, besides, there is no money to repair it.

Liu Xianglian changed her sitting posture again, and slumped lazily on the chair. There was a book spread out on the desk in front of her, but it was a collection of poems by Su Dongpo.

"Wake up and play a bowl every day, so full that my Lord doesn't care."

Liu Xianglian snorted and laughed: "Su Dongpo, Su Dongpo, after all, he is a great writer, and he writes and eats so elegantly."

At the same time, Liu Xianglian's stomach growled at the right time.He touched his stomach with a displeased face, and then shouted outside: "Zhu'an! Where are you!"

The servant who had been waiting outside the door scrambled in after Liu Xianglian yelled several times.Liu Xianglian looked at his sleepy eyes, angry and funny: "Why are you still in a daze? Hurry up and get me something to eat."

Zhu'an responded stupidly, then scrambled out the door again.Liu Xianglian wanted to tell him that she didn't have time to eat anything, so she could only watch her servant disappear at the door.

... Is it time for him to change to a servant?

Liu Xianglian's stomach growled again, and the half-grown boy simply covered his face with the book, so that he could ignore this matter.The handsome face under the book looked rather hopeless.

Just when Liu Xianglian was a little drowsy, she heard the sound of wings beating next to her.He froze for a moment, and the next second the book on his face was swept to the ground.

I saw the big parrot landed by his table, raising its head vigorously, with a small bundle in its mouth.

"Where have you been playing?" Liu Xianglian raised her hand and touched the big parrot's head very familiarly, "You look like this, are you afraid that people will eat you?"

The big parrot let out a cry of dissatisfaction, raised its wings and patted Liu Xianglian's hand.Liu Xianglian took the opportunity to snatch the small bundle in its mouth: "What is this?" As she spoke, she wanted to open it to have a look.

Seeing that his spoils had been taken away, the parrot immediately became angry.While barking, it tried to peck Liu Xianglian.However, although Liu Xianglian has not yet grown into a cold-faced gentleman, she has also practiced martial arts since she was a child. Isn't it easy to deal with a bird?

In the end, the parrot really had no choice but to angrily leave a little "mark" on Liu Xianglian's table, and then flapped its wings and disappeared out of the window.

Liu Xianglian glanced at the bird droppings on the table, but she didn't care, her attention was all on the small bundle in her hand.Liu Xianglian weighed it a little - it's not too heavy, but what are those round things inside?

Liu Xianglian held the small burden in her hand, and untied the knot with her free right hand, and saw that the small burden cloth spread out and turned into a plain handkerchief, and inside were some ready-made handkerchiefs. peanuts.These peanuts are fried golden and shiny, and they look very crispy.

The peanuts look good.

With a thought in her heart, Liu Xianglian subconsciously picked up a pill and threw it into her mouth.Between the lips and teeth chewing, the salty fragrance burst out in an instant.It's crunchy when you bite, and the taste is not bad.

Liu Xianglian didn't realize it, one after another, she quickly finished the small bag of peanuts.When he wanted to touch it again, he found that it was gone.

He couldn't help sighing, and his eyes fell on the plain veil again.Liu Xianglian blinked her eyes, picked up the handkerchief, shook it, and showed it to the light, only to see that there was no writing on it, but two big red fruits were embroidered on the corner.

This is... Lychee?

Lizhi was bored every day when Zhao's mother was away.She wanted to do something, but in the end she was reduced to cutting the thread for Qingwen.

"Stop complaining. Is it possible that I will still bully you?" Qingwen said unforgivingly while drawing flowers, "You have been dangling around all day long these days. If someone sees you , you have to hang up."

Lizhi didn't answer, but just tried to split the thread.

"Hey, you know, Keren and Meiren have already asked for the grace of their wife, and they will be released in a while." Qingwen lowered her voice, "At that time, there will definitely be a few more maids in this room." gone."

Li Zhi was taken aback: "So fast? But I don't have anything to add makeup to the two sisters."

"Can you still accept things from your little girl?" Qingwen raised her eyebrows, "Besides, I'm not telling you this to add makeup."

Lizhi struggled with the thread in his hand, and muttered in his mouth: "Sister, don't bully me, I'm just a third class, if I want to ascend to heaven at once, I'm afraid it would be faster than dreaming. Besides Now, my ambition is not in this mansion."

Qingwen was taken aback, and the movements of her hands involuntarily slowed down: "What do you mean that ambition is not in this mansion? Do you still want to let it out?"

Lizhi nodded: "Of course I wanted to let it out, and it was also my muddled thinking. This mansion is naturally very good, but I still want to find me... Do I have any relatives?"

"Although my parents are both dead, I vaguely remember that there is another uncle," Li Zhi said in a low voice, "If I can find it, I won't be alone in this world."

Qingwen herself has lost her parents, and she has been living with her brother and sister-in-law.The older brother and sister-in-law are both out of tune, which makes Qingwen yearn for the affection of her parents while she has a slightly pungent temperament.Now hearing what Li Zhi said, Qingwen burst into tears: "Then do you have any news about your uncle? Look for it like this, but you can't find it."

Li Zhi smiled: "Although this matter is not easy, it's not that difficult. My uncle is probably in the capital. If I search more, maybe there will be news."

Qingwen frowned slightly, wanted to say something, but finally closed her mouth.

Outside the door, Xi Ren, who had been eavesdropping, also wondered inwardly—is there anyone who doesn't care about the wealth in this mansion?And she was a third-class maid.

This makes people dare not believe it, but at the same time can't help but want to believe it.

Xiren wanted to listen again, but another girl's voice sounded from the gate: "Is there anyone in this yard?"

The attacker was startled, knowing that someone was coming.Helpless in the panic, he could only run away on tiptoe.After she left, Lizhi in the house opened the door and went to the gate of the yard, saying: "There are people, sister, don't worry, I'll open the door right away."

After the door opened, to Lizhi's surprise, it was Wang Xifeng's personal servant girl Ping'er standing there.

When Ping'er saw Lizhi, his heart skipped a beat, but nothing showed on his face.She smiled and said to Lizhi: "I am the maid next to Lian's Second Grandma, and my name is Ping'er."

"Second Master Lian met on the day they got married, Sister Ping'er." Li Zhi said casually, "What's the matter with Sister Ping'er?"

"It's nothing, it's just that our Second Grandma Lian got some novel food recently, so I sent some to Second Master Bao." Ping'er said softly, "According to what our Second Grandma Lian said, she came from the Western Regions. the dim sum."

Li Zhi's heart moved, and his eyes fell on the food box in Ping'er's hand, and at the same time, he repeatedly let Ping'er in: "Sister Ping'er, come in quickly, I will help you carry it."

Saying that, Lizhi took the food box from Ping'er and led Ping'er into the yard.

Feeling the light weight of the food box in his hand, Li Zhi became more determined in his heart.She vaguely has an answer, but she hasn't seen the real thing yet, so it's inconvenient to say it.

"Ping'er?" Keren also came out, "Why are you here?"

Ping'er didn't know when he was very familiar with Keren.
