Gourmet Red Chamber: A Chronicle of Baochai's Rebirth

Chapter 34

Everyone in the room was eating and talking and laughing around the food box, even the maids who were serving were also eating while listening to Wang Xifeng and Xue Baobao joking, but no one noticed Mrs. Wang coming.

Lin Daiyu sighed after hearing this, "Yangzhou has always been famous for its delicious food. Unfortunately, I was young and weak at that time. My parents did not dare to ask me to eat anything. Sister Bao said that I had never eaten it."

Xue Baobao immediately said, "This is simple, you go to Lixiangyuan tomorrow, and I will make it for you.

It just so happened that some pheasants came up from the filial piety in Zhuangzi. Sister Zhen said they were beautiful and kept them for a few days to enjoy.

Let me make you a five-spice pheasant first, and a braised chicken offal. Although you have a weak stomach, it’s okay to eat less.

It is served with a dish of hibiscus tofu, and the staple food is served with Yangzhou's famous thousand-layer cake, which will make you delicious."

Zhen Yinglian smiled and said, "Look, madam, she still remembers that I like those pheasants.

But as soon as Sister Lin said she wanted to eat, she would immediately kill some spiced pheasant or chicken offal. She really forgot about her sister after having her sister! "

Everyone laughed again, Mrs. Xue smiled and took Zhen Yinglian into her arms and rubbed her, "Good boy, your sister has forgotten you, but mother only loves you.

Tomorrow they will eat pheasant and tofu, and we, mother and son, will go out to eat in a big restaurant and eat snacks. Even if they are greedy and crying, we will not take them with us! "

Everyone laughed so hard that Mrs. Wang couldn't help coughing.

When everyone heard the sound and went to see it, they were all startled, and hurriedly got up to salute, and invited Mrs. Wang to sit down.

Mrs. Wang asked a few words about what she was laughing at, and said, "Sister Bao, your cousin Baoyu has a real heart, what can I say, and if there is a conflict, my aunt is here to apologize to you.

Your brother has had this temper since he was a child. You can beat him or scold him, but don't ignore him, otherwise he will always be thinking about you and make you troubled."

Xue Baobao, "..."

I always felt that Mrs. Wang was deliberately ignoring Jia Baoyu in order to hang on to him, but she wasn't sure.

Mrs. Xue saw that Baobao Xue didn't speak, so she forced a smile and said, "Little people are good today, but bad tomorrow, and my sister will make it a thing to pay for something. Doesn't it make Bao girl panic?"

Xue Baobao saluted, not daring to speak.

Mrs. Wang said again, "I have to be such a cripple, and I have grown up to such an extent that I dare not relax at all.

Sister Bao, you should be a filial aunt, and get close to your brother Bao on weekdays, and remember to give him some novel and delicious food to make him happy, and he will naturally remember your kindness in the future."

Xue Baobao, "..."

So, just write a bad check that "he will remember your kindness in the future", let her play with her son, cook delicious food for her son, and make her son happy!

This is treating her as Xiren, Qingwen and other vice-misses who play with Jia Baoyu specially!

Doesn't she want to be decent as a lady?

Xue Baobao faked a smile, "I don't understand what Auntie said. No matter how close we are, we are always older, so it's not easy to get close to each other.

Besides, we are just staying at my aunt’s house temporarily. When our house is repaired, we don’t know whether we will go home today or tomorrow, and we won’t be able to get close to her.”

When Xue Baobao was talking, Wang Xifeng kept pulling her behind her back. She just pretended not to notice, insisted on finishing her words, and then went to see Mrs. Xue again, "Madam, do you think it makes sense?"

With such a good opportunity, she still didn't take the opportunity to encourage Mrs. Xue to move away. Who should serve her garden full of herbs, vegetables and fruits?
Wang Xifeng really admired this girl's courage, and didn't know whether she was really stupid or just had such a temper. Before Mrs. Xue agreed, she hurriedly interrupted, "It's getting late, I'm afraid the old lady is going to pass on a meal , let's go now, so as not to ask the old lady to wait."

Xue Baobao smiled, but didn't stare at it.

But she is not brave either. Mrs. Xue always counts on the Jia family to take care of Xue Pan, but she does not know whether the Jia family will take care of Xue Pan or not. It is not up to the women in the back house, let alone Mrs. Wang, it depends on the situation. , is benefit.

If Xue Pan himself doesn't stand up, why should others take care of you?

If Xue Pan really got into some trouble, Mrs. Wang must be the first to hide away.

No matter how much she fawns over Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Wang will never sacrifice her own interests to "take care of" her when it comes to life and death!

When Xue Baobao was looking at the Red Mansion, Mrs. Wang was the one she disliked the most. She put on a bodhisattva appearance all day long, and used Wang Xifeng to fight for her, offend people for her, and earn money for her.

But stupid and vicious, even Wang Xifeng could give up, and even stabbed her when Wang Xifeng was in the most difficult time, such a person, is it useful to curry favor with her?
The topic was wiped away like this, and everyone went to Jiamu's residence for dinner, served by the maid.

After the meal, Mother Jia told Mrs. Xue, "I'm getting old, and I like lively and cheerful young girls the most. Aunt Zhenzhen can train people, and she taught Zhen and Bao girls to be so outstanding, and they will all come to me in the future." Just come and play."

Mrs. Xue couldn't help but agree.

Jia Mu had the habit of taking a lunch break after meals, so she told Mrs. Xue to do what she wanted without restraining the children and let them play on their own.

Although Mrs. Xue saw that Xue Baobao was unwilling, she still told her to play with her sisters, and asked Zhen Yinglian to watch more.

After all, she was still weak and did not dare to offend Rong Guofu.

Xue Baobao and Zhen Yinglian stayed, and Jia Baoyu was obviously shocked, and he was dull all afternoon, mostly standing aside watching the girls joking and joking, and the afternoon passed without any surprises or dangers.

Xue Baobao declined Tanchun's invitation to stay for a meal, and hurried back to Lixiangyuan before the meal.

After a while, Xue Pan also came back. After the family had dinner, they sat together drinking tea as usual. Xue Baobao waved back the serving maid and said, "Brother, I think it is necessary to tell you about today's matter." .

Mrs. Xue panicked immediately, "Sister Bao, it's over as long as it's over, why bother to tell your brother to know?"

Xue Baobao looked serious, "Mom, brother is the head of the family, no matter big or small, he must be known.

He is a man, and he always sees deeper and farther than us backyard girls."

Xue Pan suddenly became the head of the family, and was praised for his deep and far-sighted vision. He immediately and unconditionally agreed with Xue Baobao, "Madam, my sister is right, I am a man, and now I have an official position. It can also be a bit of a master."

Mrs. Xue knew her daughter's temperament, even if she strongly stopped her, she would probably find another opportunity to tell Pan'er, and she simply didn't say anything, her eyes were red again.

Xue Baobao then talked about what happened today, and then asked Mrs. Xue, "Mom, what did my cousin write in the letter?"

Mrs. Xue said vaguely, "It's not always a good thing, so don't listen to your girl's."

Xue Pan was furious and was about to beat Jia Baoyu.

To be honest, if it were in modern times, Xue Baobao would definitely support Xue Pan in beating Jia Baoyu.

Brother, why don't you make a move at this time, and wait for it to ferment at home?
Mrs. Xue hurriedly grabbed him, and cried, "Don't make trouble, we will rely on your aunt and Rongguo Mansion for a long time in the future, if you leave, it will be a waste for us mother and son to bear the humiliation today!"

Xue Pan's eyes were red with hatred, "Mom, don't be afraid of them, it's a big deal, and no one will live!"

Mrs. Xue was so angry that he hit him, "You'll be relieved if you die. What should you tell me and your sister to do? Isn't it more humiliating?"

Xue Pan didn't dare to say anything anymore. He just felt aggrieved and thought about how to find an opportunity to beat Jia Baoyu.

Xue Baobao calmly said, "Mom, between relatives, if you are far away, you will not be intimate, but if you are close, all kinds of conflicts will inevitably occur, not to mention that cousin Baoyu still has such a temperament?

Anyway, now that our house has been packed up and moved there, he can't chase us and write to me, and it just so happens that Sister Zhen can reunite with Mrs. Zhen."

Xue Pan nodded in agreement, "Sister is right. Mom doesn't want to offend Rongguo Mansion, so she can always hide."

However, Mrs. Xue only refused to nod. Xue Pan was so angry that she said, "Madam, this is someone else's house after all. What does it mean that we always live here?
Living in such a small courtyard makes my wife and sister miserable, and everyone is able to ride on my wife and sister!
Ma'am, you can bear this birdishness, but I can't. If you don't move, I'll take my sister to move there! "

Xue Baobao almost wanted to applaud Xue Pan. Stupid brother can be useful sometimes!

But on her face, she looked at Xue Pan with disapproval, "Brother, Mom is also good for us. Even if I don't agree, I still have to be considerate. Why do you say these things to make Mom upset?"

As she spoke, she pushed Xue Pan out and whispered to Xue Pan, "Brother, go back first. I will slowly persuade mom, and I must persuade mom to change her mind. Brother's martial arts arena has been built, and it cannot be left in vain. with ".

Xue Pan then left, and Zhen Yinglian also took the opportunity to resign.

Xue Baobao waited for them to leave, opened his mouth and said, "I know what my wife is thinking!"

Mrs. Xue was startled, Baobao Xue didn't give her a chance to react at all, and said, "I have already given the string of necklaces and golden locks to Sister Lin today."

Mrs.

Xue Baobao said unhurriedly, "Mom can go and ask for it back. Next time I will sell it directly, or melt it down."

Mrs. Xue was so angry that she started to cry again. They had just arrived at Rongguo Mansion not too long ago, so they were not frivolous, so they immediately asked Sister Bao to take out the golden lock.

She was planning to find an opportunity to slowly teach everyone in the Jia family to know that Sister Bao has such a golden lock that matches Baoyu, but before she opened her mouth, Xue Baobao saw through her intentions and gave the things directly To Lin Daiyu!
