Gourmet Red Chamber: A Chronicle of Baochai's Rebirth

Chapter 52
Mrs. Xue hesitated, and Xue Baobao interrupted with a smile, "In my opinion, this matter is very easy to handle.

Doesn’t my brother have a relationship with that Master Yu?

Mom just took her brother and some ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum, just saying she was going to visit a doctor.

When the Yu Mansion goes to see my mother, I will definitely ask the master to come and see her secretly. If it happens then, the Yu Mansion will definitely ask my mother and brother to stay.

Then congratulations to mom for having a promising son, and congratulations to brother for having a powerful brother.

If it doesn’t work, it will just be a hard trip for my mother, and our family will just stick a few ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum sticks on it, but we can still afford the loss.”

When Xue Pan heard this, he immediately clapped his hands and applauded. He laughed and said, "This is exactly the reason! This is the reason! My sister is smart and has a good brain!"

Upon hearing this, Mrs.

He was just on a trip, so he couldn't let this opportunity slip away easily. Pan'er would also have someone to rely on in the court in the future!
Mrs. Xue was interested, but Xue Pan kept urging her, so she went to the warehouse to get ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum and other items, and left in a hurry.

About an hour later, Laiping, the boy who had followed Xue Pan out, came back and said that his wife and uncle asked him to send some clothes and daily necessities.

Xue Baobao, "..."

Success without any doubt.

Xue Baobao personally packed the things and ordered Laiping to take them there, and ordered the door to be closed, leaving only a corner door for purchasers to enter and exit.

Three days later, Mrs. Xue and Xue Pan came back, and they both fell asleep.

Xue Baobao saw that they all looked tired and pale, and their eyes were black and blue, which showed that they had neither rested nor eaten well in the past three days, so he hurriedly ordered to buy some mutton and turtle.

Tuanyu is a soft-shelled turtle. Take five or six turtles, boil them, peel off the skin and bones, cut them into pieces, make shredded noodles with two ounces of noodles, and stir-fry them with ginger juice and pepper.

Add onion, salt, vinegar, etc. to mix, then put it into the mutton soup with grass and fruits and simmer together slowly.

When the soup is stewed thickly, discard the meat pieces and only take the soup. Sprinkle a handful of chopped green onion or coriander. The taste is fresh, fragrant and thick, and it can best replenish qi and replenish deficiencies.

After Mrs. Xue and Xue Pan woke up, Xue Baobao ordered the turtle soup that had been warming over low heat to be brought up.

After the two drank a bowl, they felt refreshed and their internal organs and bones were warm. They didn't put down their chopsticks until they drank a large cup of soup.

Without waiting for Xue Baobao to ask, Mrs. Xue talked endlessly about the experience of the past three days, and finally sighed, "You said God is not God, then Mr. Yu lay in bed silently for three days and three nights, and the water If you don't eat rice, if you don't still breathe, you will be dead.

As soon as the chanting stopped in our area, and the master asked me to shout a few more times, "Son, come home with your mother, Master Yu really woke up, groping for my hand."

The master signaled me to take Mr. Yu out of bed, followed me to the central hall, and asked me to feed him a few mouthfuls of rice porridge, and he woke up completely! "

Xue Baobao, "..."

I don't know how to evaluate it at all.

Mrs. !
He didn't know how he managed to survive in that barren mountain. Even now, even though Jane is in the Emperor's heart, it's heartbreaking to see her in that house.

It's just a small house with three people. The whole family only has a long attendant, a boy, and a mother-in-law who lives on the stove.

His illness didn't even have a person in charge. Fortunately, he still had a few capable subordinates to take charge of the overall situation. Otherwise, he would have died of illness without anyone taking care of him! "

Xue Baobao smiled and said, "Since Madam is distressed, she will love Master Yu more in the future. He is Madam's son now. If Madam doesn't love him, who will?"

Lin Daiyu heard this sentence as soon as she arrived outside the house, and couldn't help but pause slightly.

Zhen Yinglian looked back at her and she smiled, "Sister, please go first."

Zhen Yinglian glared at her angrily and took her in to greet Mrs. Xue.

Mrs. Xue was obviously very happy that she was able to save Yu Xin's life and also accepted Yu Xin as her adopted son, whom no one else could please.

She repeated the same words to Lin Daiyu and Zhen Yinglian, with a smile from the heart on her well-maintained face. She held the hands of Lin Daiyu and Zhen Yinglian and said, "The world says that having more children means you are blessed. These children and grandchildren are great." , can never be too much.

To put it bluntly, whether you are Lian'er or Yu'er, I treat you as my biological daughters, and Bao Yatou treats you as my biological sisters.

You three are all blessed. I gave birth to Pan'er. I know that although I am a bastard, my heart is sincere, and I will treat you just like the little girl who treats you.

From now on, you will have another brother to love you, and he will be a very powerful and powerful brother. Just enjoy the blessings! "

Lin Daiyu covered her mouth and smiled, "I agree with what mom said. We are the only ones enjoying the blessing, but we don't thank the new brother, we only thank mom.

If it’s not that mom is blessed, it’s the rare and precious life of a golden doll called daylily. How can we be blessed along with it? "

Zhen Yinglian also nodded and smiled, "Sister Yu is right, let's just thank mom here first!"

Mrs. Xue was so happy that she opened her mouth from ear to ear, and warned, "As a brother of yours, you have a distinguished status, so we must formally serve wine to entertain guests.

As sisters, you don’t need to give anything expensive. It’s best to make a sachet or fan bag with your own hands to express your feelings.

I also want your brother to know that he used to be alone, but in the future he will always have his sister to embroider purses and fan bags for him! "

The three girls agreed in succession, and Mrs. Xue told Xue Pan, "You should also prepare a greeting gift for your brother. You are on duty, so you should choose one that is expensive and has good meaning.

You go to the warehouse to choose first. If you can't find something good, go outside and buy it. Don't neglect it."

Xue Pan has always been a silly and generous person, so when he saw Mrs.

He's going to pick it now!

Mrs. Xue was even more happy when she saw that he was obedient - she is in a good mood now and is happy about everything - and discussed with several girls, "I will make some clothes for your brother.

You still have the leather that Uncle Lin sent you last time, so I can make two more big sweaters, cloaks and so on.

Come and help me go through the details and draw some fresh and beautiful patterns.

I see that your brother only has a few clothes in his wardrobe, either flying fish suits or black or dark blue, which is pitiful."

Xue Baobao, "..."

It seems that classmate Xue Zhijian used to wear black and dark blue suits. In winter, she added black and dark blue coats to the outside, and she still boasted that her clothes were noble.

Forget it, it’s been the same day for decades, and it’s still the same after a new life!
No, she must work hard to transform Xue's clothes!
Mrs. Xue recognized her son, so the banquet was naturally placed at the Xue family, and it was scheduled for more than ten days.

Time was tight, so Mrs. Xue and several girls worked overtime, busy with clothes, dinner, choosing a yard for Yu Xin, decorating the yard, and doing all kinds of trivial matters. Even Mrs. Zhen, who had blind eyes, was also brought in. help.

Mrs. Xue and Xue Baobao discussed this kind of scene for a long time and felt that it was not appropriate to make a big deal out of it, so they decided to just invite relatives at home and a few close friends of Yu Xin.

Mrs. Xue sent a message, and Yu Xin quickly sent over the list.

He delivered it himself.When Mrs. Xue saw that he was so polite and respectful, she became even more happy and ordered people to invite Mrs. Zhen and the three girls to meet him.

Yu Xin's attitude was respectful, he kowtowed to Mrs. Xue, greeted Mrs. Zhen, gave greetings to the three girls one by one, and chatted with Mrs. Xue for a long time before saying goodbye and leaving.

During this period, he didn't look at Xue Baobao twice, but Xue Baobao took advantage of the geographical advantage of sitting next to Mrs. Xue and looked at him back and forth countless times. Only when he saw that he was really fine did he feel completely relieved.

Yu Xin sent the list, and the Xue family sent out the invitations. Except for the people on Yu Xin's list, they were just a few relatives of Prince Teng's family, Jia's family, and this family.

The Xue family was very excited when they got the news. Mr. Xue San and Mr. Xue Liu rushed to the capital overnight.

The Xue family's foundation in the capital is still shallow and they don't have many people to hire.

After Mrs.

On the other hand, if we have guests over the next day, we need to prepare more.

Just as I was thinking about it, the Xue Chen family came to report. I received many greeting cards and gifts from outside, saying that they were here to congratulate Mrs. Xue on her great happiness.

The boy outside the door didn't dare to accept it, but those people put down their invitations and gifts and left. They couldn't refuse at all.

Mrs. Xue panicked immediately. She had never encountered anything like this before.

Xue Baobao said, "Those people just want to curry favor with my brother. It would be better to ask my brother for advice."

When Mrs.

Xue Baobao, "..."

Very good, very poppy-like, but Poppy, you receive gifts so that the whole capital knows what you like. How come your home is as miserable and small as Mrs. Xue said?

After Yu Xin sent out the message, Mrs. Xue ordered them all to be received and registered.

Just like this, all the previous plans have to be scrapped and the invitations have to be written again.

Because there were so many people posting, and many of them were people who made Mrs.

It's fine if you make people laugh, but if you offend someone, it's a big deal.

Xue Baobao had never experienced such a scene. After thinking about it, he suggested that Mrs. Xue ask Wang Xifeng to help.

Mrs. Xue hurriedly brought gifts and went to Rongguo Mansion to invite Wang Xifeng in person.

Wang Xifeng was close to Xue Baobao and liked to dominate such big events. When Mrs. Xue came to invite her, she did not refuse.

After notifying Jia Mu, she took her daughter, a change of clothes and daily necessities and came directly with Mrs. Xue.

Wang Xifeng has strong abilities and is familiar with the human relations in the capital. After settling her daughter, she began to assign tasks.

Lin Daiyu was good at calligraphy and took a few maids to write invitations and register and collect gifts.

Zhen Yinglian will do the accounting, and is responsible for supervising the accounts of purchases and items, and the collection of items, so that every money and item comes in and out, and prevents the bad money from being collected and profited from it.

Xue Baobao is responsible for the deployment of personnel in the family, who is responsible for which duties, and what should be done within the scope of duties, so that the maids and servants can obey and perform their duties.

Mrs. Xue was responsible for cleaning up Yu Xin's yard and adding or removing items.

She herself is responsible for the central dispatch and overall management of affairs.

When Mrs. Xue saw that she had arranged everything well, she was so happy that she chanted the Buddha's name continuously. At that moment, everyone performed their duties and everything ran in an orderly manner.

The day before the due date, Yu Xin came to Xue Mansion with a heavy gift.

Xue Pan greeted him outside the gate early and led him to the second gate to pay tribute to his family members.

Mrs. Xue led the female family members of the mansion, surrounded by maids and mothers, to greet him outside the second door.

When Yu Xin arrived, Mrs. Xue personally held pomelo leaves to sweep away Yu Xin's illness and the loneliness of having no parents or brothers or sisters.

Yu Xin held Mrs. Xue's arm and walked all the way into the main courtyard. Yu Xin had seen Mrs. Zhen and Xue Baobao, but Wang Xifeng and her daughter had never seen them before. Sister Qiao.

He was obviously very considerate. In addition to giving him a heavy greeting gift, he also took a glass vat from the boy's hand. The vat had two ears and was pierced with red thread. It was made into a lantern style and could be carried in the hand.

He held the glass jar in his hand and waved to Sister Qiao to come and see it.

Sister Qiao yelped, and her little hands hurriedly tried to grab the handle of the lantern he was holding, "It's a fish! A fish! The fish also has legs, many legs!"

When Sister Qiao shouted this, all the women in the house became interested. As expected, there were more than a dozen cloud-like transparent creatures with legs in the glass tank, floating in the tank with their legs swinging.

The color of the glass dyes their transparent bodies with colorful colors, making them look very beautiful and cute.

Yu Xin's boy smiled and said, "Little miss, this is not a fish, it is a jellyfish, something in the sea.

We adults specially asked our colleagues who were on errands at the beach to bring it back for the amusement of all the girls."

Yu Xin leaned over to Xue Baobao and others and clasped his hands, "Exactly, the ones from my sisters will be sent over later."

Sister Qiao then chanted, "Jellyfish, jellyfish! It's a jellyfish!"

Yu Xin handed the lantern into her hand and told her, "Hold it tight, don't drop it."

Sister Qiao was a little afraid of him at first, but now she was not afraid at all. She raised her head and smiled sweetly at him, and said crisply, "Thank you, uncle!"

Yu Xin was stunned for a moment when she called her uncle, "Uncle," Qiao Jie'er's sentence included the sentence "a ruthless uncle who loves money and forgets his own flesh and blood". It felt like being called uncle by her——

Mrs. Xue smiled, "Sister Qiao is really smart. You should call me uncle. You all have to change your name in the future. Xin'er is the eldest brother and Pan'er is the second brother. Don't call me the wrong one!"

So, several girls got up together and changed their words.

Yu Xin was busy returning the gifts one by one. Wang Xifeng had long heard that Yu Xin had a face like a peach blossom and a heart like a Rakshasa. When she met him, she saw that he behaved politely and rationally. What was even more rare was that he was willing to travel thousands of miles to make these things to amuse the little girls. I'm happy, it shows that he is a considerate and considerate person who repays his kindness.

At that moment, he hugged Sister Qiao and said with a smile, "My eldest cousin is not only capable, but also considerate and considerate. Now I can make my aunt a son, but I don't know who I can make a son-in-law in the future!"

Everyone laughed, and Yu Xin bowed his head in embarrassment and said, "Sister Feng made fun of you."

Wang Xifeng's reputation is indeed well-deserved. Regardless of other things, if she just opens her mouth and tries to please anyone, she will probably fall.

After everyone talked and laughed, Mrs. Xue urged Xue Pan to take Yu Xin to the front yard to settle down.
