Gourmet Red Chamber: A Chronicle of Baochai's Rebirth

Chapter 22 Where does Wang Xifeng live?
Mrs. Xue took Xue Baobao and Zhen Yinglian back to Lixiangyuan and asked about what happened just now.

Xue Baobao told the truth and took the opportunity to apply eye drops to Mrs. Xue, "Cousin Baoyu is also 12 years old, but he is still hanging out in the backyard.

I heard that he was still studying with the teacher, but now that the teacher has something to go home, he simply doesn't study.

There was a private school at their home, but he didn't go there. He also liked to talk nonsense and joke with his sisters wantonly.

I have seen that the legitimate son of the Duke of Guo has such a good upbringing."

Mrs. Xue patted her angrily and said, "You know the upbringing of the Duke's Palace? Baoyu is still young and the old lady dotes on her. It is inevitable that she will be more coquettish. It will be better when she is older."

She saw her daughter's disapproval as she spoke, and then said, "Your cousin Baoyu has a rich background. How many people in this world can be born with a jade in their mouth?

It doesn't matter how pampered the old lady and your aunt are, they will definitely be great in the future! "

Xue Baobao curled his lips, great luck?

Although I don’t know what the final ending of Cao Gong’s novel will be, Jia Baoyu will definitely become a monk and become a monk. So what if he is successful like Gao E’s sequel before becoming a monk?
Lin Ruhai is still a Tanhualang, and not many people praise him for his great fortune!
Seeing that she was disapproving, Mrs. Xue warned, "We are new here and have to rely on the people of Duke Rongguo. There are many. You are not allowed to be rude to your cousin Baoyu in the future!"

Xue Baobao was afraid that she would talk about it, so he nodded perfunctorily, chatted with Mrs. Xue a few more times, and left the main room to find Zhen Yinglian.

The Xue family lived in the Rongguo mansion, and Zhen Yinglian could take a girl with her, but she couldn't bring Mrs. Zhen with her, so Mrs. Xue ordered Mrs. Zhen to be sent to the Xue family's house in the capital. Zhen Yinglian and Xue Baobao were still together. live.

Zhen Yinglian was doing needlework, crying while doing it. Seeing Xue Baobao coming, she quickly wiped her tears and asked Xue Baobao to sit down.

Xue Baobao, "..."

You don't need to ask to know that it must be because of the lawsuit just now.

Sure enough, before she asked, Zhen Yinglian cried and said that she couldn't speak, which caused her trouble, and even caused her to have a rift with her own cousin.

Xue Baobao, "..."

Zhen Yinglian is not good at this point, she thinks too much, and always likes to take the responsibility on herself!
Xue Baobao waved his hands nonchalantly, "It's that Jia Baoyu who is wrong. He disrespects our sisters. What does it have to do with you?"

Don't do this, I see that my cousin Lin and the girl in my cousin's family are coughing a bit, so let's make some Guanguikete cakes for her to eat."

After returning to Jinling from Yangzhou, Xue Baobao did not dare to cook blatantly and only made snacks from time to time. Sure enough, Mrs. Xue did not become suspicious and praised her for her cleverness and willingness to learn.

Although ladies in ancient times did not have the experience of gentlemen to cook far away, and they were not encouraged to learn cooking skills, they were very much in favor of ladies knowing a few specialty dishes or snacks.

Of course, their so-called "knowledge" is nothing more than standing outside the kitchen and "instructing" the cooks to cook.

The Guangui Quite cake that Xue Baobao will make today is similar to the various buccal tablets of later generations, which can produce body fluid and relieve cold and cough.

Turn Kete into a paste with rose water, grind the shilla ginseng, Guan Gui, and Naba with the reed removed into powder, and use myrobalan mimeograph to make pancakes.

When eating, put it in your mouth like a lozenge and melt it slowly.

Ying'er dug out a pair of 36-style plum blossom molds from somewhere. Each one is only two to three centimeters in size, and the styles are different. There are single petals, double petals, long stamens, and brocade leaves... very elegant. cute.

Xue Baobao was overjoyed. Lin Daiyu in the original book liked these elegant things very much. If she used this exquisite mold to make Guangui Keite cakes, Lin Daiyu would definitely be more willing to eat them.

Ying'er smiled and said, "This mold was originally given by the shopkeeper below, who said it could make plum blossom soup cakes, but the cook didn't make it delicious. She made it once and never made it again.

Girl, after making the cakes for Miss Lin, let’s make plum blossom soup cakes to eat. The ones made by the girl will definitely be more delicious than those made by the cook! "

Xue Baobao, "..."

She remembered that Yinger used to only like to do handicrafts. Now, has she cultivated a foodie?

Xue Baobao didn't need the help of the cook, so he and Zhen Yinglian, Ying'er and other little girls adjusted the ingredients for the biscuits, put them into the mold carefully, and took them out one by one after they were solidified, and put them into the wide-mouthed thin cakes. in a porcelain jar.

She made a lot, and the thin porcelain vase was not big enough to hold a dozen bottles. She ordered Ying'er to give one bottle to each girl.

Then I thought about the plot in the original work where Mrs.

He said again, "Forget it, my sister and I will deliver it. You clean it up. When we come back to make plum blossom soup cakes, it will definitely be too late at noon. We just wait for my brother to come back to eat together in the evening."

At this time, it was already lunch time, and the thirsty pancakes were not in a hurry, Xue Baobao and Zhen Yinglian went to accompany Mrs. Xue for lunch, and took a nap before leaving the Lixiangyuan.

Well, the first one will be sent to Sister Lin!

Besides, Lin Daiyu went back to the yard that Jia Mu had allocated to her just a few years ago, and she didn't speak, she fell into bed and covered her face and wept silently.

Zicuckoo has been serving her for a year and knows that she has always had such a temper. She asked a few questions but couldn't say anything, so she had no choice but to leave it alone.

When Lin Daiyu first came, she immediately went to report Jia Mu as soon as she cried, and then Jia Mu mobilized troops to persuade her.

Later, Lin Daiyu cried for some inexplicable little things from time to time.

Many times, I went to report to Jia Mu. Sometimes Jia Mu was too lazy to move and just asked them to serve the people with more dedication.

Later, if it wasn't a big deal, she wouldn't trouble Mother Jia anymore.

She estimated that Lin Daiyu's crying this time was mostly because of the conflict between Jia Baoyu and Xue Baobao.

Like Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Xue, she thought it was a trivial matter and couldn't be persuaded. She stood for a while and then left.

Lin Daiyu was lying alone on the bed. The more she thought about it, the sadder she became. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she had no face to see her father again. She cried so hard that her heart broke.

She just wanted to be strong, for fear that others would look down upon her even more, so she refused to cry out, and she almost breathed away from holding it in several times.

After an unknown amount of time, Zijuan's voice sounded outside, "Ms. Xue and Ms. Zhen are here. Our girls are asleep. Will the two girls come again next time?"

Lin Daiyu could hear clearly in the room, so she tensed herself up, not daring to cry anymore, for fear of being overheard by Xue Baobao.

"Are you still asleep at this time? Have you eaten?"

Zijuan replied, "The girl lay down after she came back and didn't eat. The girl has a weak spleen and stomach. If she eats one or two meals three times a day, she will be Amitabha. It doesn't matter."

Xue Baobao said no more, and Zijuan also lost her voice.

Lin Daiyu thought that Baobao Xue and the two had left, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to move her stiff body, when she heard Baobao Xue's voice outside again, "Sister Lin is weak, and she taboos eating irregularly, three times a day." Even if you can't eat the meal anymore, it's good to have a bite or two.

Otherwise, if you don’t eat it today, you won’t eat it tomorrow, it will damage your stomach, and you won’t be able to eat it in the future.

Today I saw that Sister Lin had a cough, so I made Guangui Kete cake, which is best for producing fluid and relieving cough. You can also eat it as candy if you have nothing to do. It only moisturizes your throat better than sugar.

Go and get Sister Lin up, eat one or two slices, and you may have an appetite."

Zijuan quickly responded, and Xue Baobao said again, "We will make plum blossom soup cakes to eat at night, and then I will bring a bowl to my sister."

Zijuan thanked them and sent them away. When they entered the room, they saw Daiyu sitting hugging the quilt, her eyes were red, but she didn't cry anymore.

Zijuan hurriedly presented the small porcelain bottle in front of Lin Daiyu, "Ms. Xue and Ms. Zhen sent it over just now, and they said it is the best for relieving cough. Let's take a piece and try it."

Lin Daiyu cried until now without even drinking her saliva, her throat was so dry, she took the bottle and opened it, seeing that the biscuits were delicately made and lovely, she couldn't help but took out a piece and put it in her mouth.

Zicuckoo hurriedly asked, "Miss, how are you eating?"

Lin Daiyu savored it carefully, "It's sweet and has a medicinal taste, but it's just right, but it suppresses the greasy sweetness."

Zijuan smiled and said, "That's good. No wonder Miss Xue said that it can be eaten as candy. Girls like this have to cough a few times from time to time. It's best to eat this."

Lin Daiyu didn't answer, but ordered Zijuan to wait on her face and clean her face. Sister Bao Tete sent this, she must not let her down, even if she couldn't eat it, she had to eat a few mouthfuls.

……

……

When Xue Baobao came out from Lin Daiyu's place, he went to look for Sanchun, gave him cakes, chatted for a few words, and then went to look for Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng lived behind the Rongxi Hall of the main house. Xue Baobao was led by the maid of Jia Mansion and walked north along a wide north-south road. He saw a large pink screen wall. Behind the screen wall was half a door and a small room. , which is the residence of Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian.

When Baobao Xue came, Wang Xifeng happened to be standing at the screen wall talking to some ladies in charge. Seeing Baobao Xue, she warmly smiled and said, "Cousin is here, please come in quickly!"

When Xue Baobao was reading, he always looked at Brother Bao and Sister Lin. He only remembered Baochaidai's residence in the Grand View Garden and didn't pay any attention to where Wang Xifeng lived.

What she saw in the past two days were all the pavilions, towers and pavilions of Jia's mansion, rockery and flowing water, everywhere is exquisite and majestic. She didn't expect that Wang Xifeng, as the core figure in the world of red chambers, would live in such a remote and small place. She couldn't help but be surprised, " Cousin lives here?"

It shouldn't be, not to mention that Wang Xifeng is extremely loved by Jia's mother, just because Jia Lian is the only legitimate son of the head of Rongguo Mansion and the legitimate heir to Rongguo Mansion, Wang Xifeng shouldn't live in such a house!
There is no yard, and the place is remote, so I won’t talk about it. It’s still so small, Jia Lian’s family of three, and the maid who serves, can they fit in?

It should not be the dignity that the grandson and grandson-in-law of Jia's family should have!

Xue Baobao was just purely curious, but Wang Xifeng felt that the little girl's pure curiosity turned into a sharp knife and pierced her face!
She is very strong and shameless, she is from a good background, and she is married to the grandson of the head of the Duke's mansion, but now she is asked by her cousin who was born in a merchant how she lives in such a house!

Wang Xifeng felt that her face was burning, and she could hardly keep the smile on her face. She turned around and scolded the ladies in charge, "You come looking for me now that the account is like this. Get out of here now. It's not settled anymore, so don't come." Got it!"
