Gourmet Red Chamber: A Chronicle of Baochai's Rebirth

Chapter 56 The best marriage (monthly ticket adds more updates)

Xue Baobao glared hard, "Why do you, a black-hearted businessman like me, have the nerve to laugh at a great doctor like me who is trying to save the world?"

"The great doctor who hangs the pot to save the world?"

Yu Xin laughed so much that he almost swallowed the cherry pit down his throat, "You are writing a graduate thesis and you want the help of a great doctor like me, a black-hearted businessman?"

Xue Baobao, "...it's not enough to hit someone in the face, Xue Zhijian, you've gone too far!"

Yu Xin raised his hands and admitted defeat, "OK, OK, OK, you are a great doctor, you can hang a pot to help the world, a doctor is kind, right?"

Let me tell you, if you really want to help the world, you might as well get out the penicillin.

In this era, a cold or a cough can kill someone. As long as penicillin can be produced, it will definitely be a huge progress in the history of medicine. How many people can be saved! "

Well, the baby thinks about Sister Lin every day when he is idle. Unfortunately, there are no mobile phones or Wi-Fi in this world. It is difficult to even find some girlfriends for her to go shopping and drink coffee with, so it is better to find something for her to do.

Xue Baobao was silent and spoke cautiously, "If I say that I don't quite remember the formula of penicillin, will you laugh at me?"

Yu Xin, "..."

The stupid sister never lets him down.

Yu Xin held his forehead and sighed, "I remember this is what your graduate thesis was about?"

Xue Baobao was very confident, "You also know it's research! Research! Who would remember when doing research that one day Du Niang won't be able to be used, so they memorize the specific formula!"

Yu Xin's face was expressionless, "Then if I said that when I was helping you look up information, I memorized the formula by the way, would you admire me?"

Xue Baobao, "..."

By the way?

May I ask how you managed to memorize such a complicated recipe while helping me look up information?

A loser like Xue Baobao really can't understand the world of top academics and talented people, so he lowers his head and continues to eat cherries.

Well, eating is more in line with her personality.

Yu Xin laughed, Xue Baobao, "..."

You beat me, a scumbag, so what's there to be proud of?
Yu Xin entertained himself for a long time, and finally managed to stop laughing under the white eyes of Xue Baobao, "After the new year, the emperor will send me to Shennong Mountain to find someone, but you can go with me, and then you can bring him back No one will be surprised if there is a talking penicillin spirit."

Shennong Mountain?
Xue Baobao is excited. The holy land in the hearts of all medical students is still a holy land that has not been polluted by large-scale industry and over-exploited. You must go there!
only--

"My current status is inconvenient, so I may not be able to travel far away with you."

Yu Xin was silent, and suddenly stretched out his hand to take Xue Baobao into his arms, "Baby, I want you to come with me. Now, although I can appear by your side openly, there are too many ancient rules that I break. I have to check my watch every day, and I dare not talk to you for more than 15 minutes."

Xue Baobao silently continued, even in these 15 minutes, he still had to act like a thief, sending away the maids and servants, and avoiding Mrs. Xue's eyes and ears at all times.

How can it compare to the intimacy and freedom of two brothers and sisters who rely on each other and support each other in modern times?

"My wife won't agree."

Yu Xin hugged her arm tightly and said, "Leave it to me, she will agree."

He said and let her go gently, picked up a cherry and put it in his mouth, looked at his pocket watch and said, "I'll see you again tomorrow."

Xue Baobao didn't want him to see that he was also reluctant to give up. He bit a cherry and waved his hand, "Tomorrow morning I will cook some corn and shrimp porridge and send it to you. I just happened to go to the outer courtyard to pick some plum blossoms and make plum blossom cakes to eat. Don't run away in both directions. ".

Yu Xin nodded and left neatly. There was nothing to be reluctant to leave. Since the external conditions did not allow the brothers and sisters to get too close, then he changed the external conditions!
……

……

Soon, the Spring Festival arrived, and the whole capital was busy visiting relatives and friends.

Lin Daiyu wrote a letter early, inviting the Xue family to go to Rongguo Mansion to pay New Year's greetings on the second day of the Lunar New Year.

The closest relatives to the Xue family in the capital are the Wang family and the Jia family.

Logically speaking, we should go to Wang's house first to pay New Year greetings to Xue Pan and Xue Baobao's uncle and aunt.

But Wang Ziteng did not return to Beijing at the end of the year, and Mrs. Xue had a grudge with Mrs. Wang again, so she sent someone to invite Mrs. Wang to go to Jia's Mansion to pay New Year's greetings on the second day of the Lunar New Year to show respect.

She was just perfunctory to prevent Mrs. Wang from saying that the Xue Pan brothers and sisters were disrespectful to her uncle's family, but Mrs. Wang agreed readily.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, several families went to the Jia Mansion together. Unexpectedly, the Shi family also chose this day to pay New Year's greetings, but the four major families of Jia Shi, King Xue, gathered together.

Due to the large number of guests, several masters from the Ning Mansion were also invited to entertain the guests.

Mrs. Xue heard that Jia Rong and Jia Qiang were also there, and hurriedly sent people to the front yard to tell Yu Xin to keep an eye on Xue Pan and not let him mess around with Jia Rong and others.

Xue Baobao was sitting next to her, listening so clearly that he couldn't help but be amused secretly.

Jia's mother sat at the top, with Jia Baoyu leaning in her arms. Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. You, Wang Xifeng and others were waiting on her side.

After the greetings, Jia Mu smiled and said, "Daughter-in-law Zhen, girl Feng, take Baoyu and your sister out for a walk, so as not to be constrained here."

Youshi and Wang Xifeng bowed down, and Jia Baoyu said coquettishly, "It's cold outside, don't freeze the sisters. In my opinion, it's better to invite the daughter-in-law to the warm pavilion. It will be more comfortable for the sisters and I to listen to books and gossip together." ".

Mother Jia loved him with a thousand kinds of love and indulgence, and nodded with a smile on her face, "Our dear girl is still thoughtful, Feng Yatou, go and make arrangements, and take Lan Ge'er and Niuniu with you, don't call me They're freezing".

Although Jia Huan was younger than Jia Baoyu, he was taken to the front yard to entertain guests. Among the brothers, only Jia Lan, who was only five or six years old, and the older child Jia Baoyu remained in the backyard.

Jia Baoyu shouted happily, "Sister Lin, sister Bao, let's go play together."

Xue Baobao, "..."

I just don't want to play with a little kid who has a glassy heart and is prone to "crazy illnesses".

At this time, Lin Daiyu suddenly blinked at her, looking very narrow-minded.

Xue Baobao, "..."

Sister Lin, what does this mean?
While Xue Baobao was puzzled, the maid outside came to report, and the brothers came to pay their respects to the old lady and other ladies.At this time, all the young people left because it was inconvenient, and they all stayed and waited for Yu Xin and others to come and pay their respects.

After a while, Jia Lian brought Jia Rong, Jia Qiang, Yu Xin, Xue Pan and two brothers from the Shi family to pay their respects.

Jia's mother and several ladies gave her a compliment and praised her a lot.

Jia Lian reported, "Old lady, Uncle Lin was taking a test on Jiahuan'er's homework earlier, so the second master asked Baoyu to come too and let Uncle Lin take a look.

Uncle Lin also said that he asked Mr. Bao to take Lan Ge'er with him. It happens to be the New Year's Eve and I'm afraid I won't have time to do it on weekdays."

As soon as these words came out, Jia Baoyu felt as if he was struck by lightning and couldn't move for a long time.

Li Wan was so happy that his eyes were filled with tears. Uncle Lin was indeed a man of his word!
Father-in-law only remembers Baoyu, but uncle Lin still remembers her Laner!
Li Wan hurriedly leaned over to straighten Jia Lan's clothes and told him to be obedient and not to be frightened. He looked at Jia Lian earnestly and said, "Then I'll trouble you to take Lan'er to the front yard to meet Uncle Lin."

Jia Baoyu looked at Jia Mu with a forced smile, "Old ancestor, today is the second day of the junior high school!"

Jia Mu also knew her son's thoughts very well. She was probably asking Lin Ruhai to take a good look at how clever Baoyu was, so that he could ask Lin Ruhai to accept a disciple.

Lin Ruhai was the top student in high school when he was young. Now, as soon as he returned to Beijing, he was appointed as the prince's young tutor and taught the prince's homework.

The emperor wants to find Lin Ruhai as his son's master, let alone others?

If Baoyu could become Lin Ruhai's disciple, she would be rest assured that she could be fellow disciples with the prince!
Mother Jia looked at Jin Sun, who was mourning for his heir, and finally softened her heart and said, "I'm not in a hurry to take the academic test for half a day. This is the Chinese New Year, so I have to let the children have fun for a whole day."

Lin Ruhai is her son-in-law. As long as she asks him to accept Baoyu as her disciple, there is no way he can refuse, and he is not in a hurry.

Jia Baoyu was naturally happy and excited after hearing this, but Li Wan's eyes turned red with hatred.

At first, Lin Ruhai asked her to take care of Lin Daiyu and promised to guide Jia Lan in his homework.

But within just a few months, Lin Daiyu moved to Xue Mansion and never returned to Jia Mansion.

Although publicly everyone said that Lin Daiyu went to the Xue family to recuperate, privately no one discussed that it was the Jia family's harsh treatment of Lin Daiyu that made her prefer to rely on a relative who had no blood relatives at all rather than return to her grandmother's house.

Lin Ruhai was afraid that she would be blamed for not taking good care of Lin Daiyu. If he never mentioned the promise, she would have no idea!
Now, Lin Ruhai finally took the initiative to bring it up, and the old lady actually blocked Lan'er's way. Who knows if Lin Ruhai will remember it next time?
Even if Lin Ruhai proposed, would the old lady let Baoyu steal Lan'er's opportunity because Lan'er was still young?
Lin Ruhai holds a high position and must have complicated affairs. How can he have time to teach two disciples?
Yu Xin glanced at Xue Baobao and said, "Even if we don't have to do more homework, will Bao Erye and Lang Geer go to the front yard with us?"
I heard that Brother Lang is determined to be a talented person with both civil and military skills. Can I teach Brother Lang how to throw pot? "

Jia Lan had already heard about how Yu Xin passed the imperial examination and how majestic he was. When he heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he turned to look at Li Wan.

Although Li Wan didn't want Jia Lan to get involved with a sycophantic minister like Yu Xin, he didn't dare to offend Yu Xin and hurriedly smiled and said, "Lan'er, thank you brother Yu quickly.

Your brother Yu won the first prize in martial arts. Your martial arts is very powerful. If you can learn even one and a half moves, my mother will burn incense and worship Buddha."

Jia Lan nodded heavily and saluted Yu Xin with bright eyes to thank him.

Yu Xin glanced at Xue Baobao again, brushed his sleeves, leaned over to hold Jia Lan, and then looked sideways at Jia Baoyu, "Isn't Mr. Bao with us?"

Jia Baoyu was stunned by the romantic look in his eyes. There was no way he could not agree, so he nodded hurriedly.

So, Yu Xin took Jia Lan, followed by Jia Baoyu, bowed and left.

Xue Baobao leaned close to Lin Daiyu's ear and laughed softly, "Look, the eldest brother is still in charge at the critical moment, right?"

Lin Daiyu winked at her just now, and she must have been saying that she invited Lin Ruhai to take away Jia Baoyu. Unexpectedly, Lin Ruhai couldn't invite Jia Baoyu, the giant Buddha. After all, it was Yu Xin who was in charge.

Lin Daiyu gritted her teeth and glared at her, "Yes, yes, your eldest brother is the most powerful, the most powerful in the world, okay?"

Xue Baobao narrowed his eyes and said, "Okay, okay, of course."

Lin Daiyu wanted to glare at her, but she also laughed.

Mother Jia, who was above me, also smiled and said, "I really believe that with such a good character, how can people not love me? My wife is so lucky!"

Mrs. Xue likes to hear people praise her children. She is always humble when she hears them, but she can't suppress the smile on her face.

Jia Mu asked again, "There are rumors outside that Brother Xin will be appointed as the commander of Jinyi Mansion after the first lunar month. Is the news really true?"

In this case, Yu Xin had warned her, and Mrs. Xue said hurriedly, "We haven't received the news yet. What's going on? We still have to wait for documents from the Ministry of Personnel!"

After listening to her words, Jia Mu knew that the news was probably true, and she smiled even more kindly, "Bodhisattva bless you, if it is true, then Brother Xin will be a third-rank official. Brother Xin is only 24 years old." Bar?"

Mrs. Xue nodded, "It's the Chinese New Year, so he's actually 24 years old. He's only a month old, so based on his age, he's only 22."

All the women in the room immediately praised Yu Xin's youth and achievements with envy, and Mrs. Xue even laughed so hard that she couldn't even see her face.

Jia Mu helped the maid stand up and said with a smile, "This man is old. He can't stand for a long time, and sitting for a long time is uncomfortable. Today, the family has invited a theater troupe, let's go to watch a play."

The girls should be taken by their sisters-in-law to Nuange to listen to books, so as not to get bored with us."

Naturally, the female relatives had no objection. Jia Mu waved to Mrs. , I’m as promising as Brother Pan!”

Everyone burst into laughter, and Mrs. Xue went to help Jia Mu with a smile on her face. At that moment, the female family members divided into two groups and went in different directions.

Mother Jia supported Mrs. Xue and led the ladies to the theater. She asked Mrs. Xue to order two plays before ordering for herself. She also asked the two wives of the Shi family and Mrs. Wang to order a play.

After the play was decided, everyone started chatting while listening to the play.

Jia Mu exchanged pleasantries with Mrs.

Mrs. Xue hesitated and asked her to tell her that Yu Xin is good at everything. He can support the Xue family, he can discipline and support Xue Pan, he can be considerate and caring for his sisters, and he is gentle and docile to her.

But maybe it was because Yu Xin was a bit colder, or maybe it was because of his awe-inspiring power, she was always a little afraid of him in her heart.

She was actually concerned about Yu Xin's marriage, but she didn't even dare to ask.

At this time, I heard Jia Mu talk about how she dared to make the decision on behalf of Yu Xin. She only said, "Brother Xin is a man of good fortune. There may be greater good fortune yet to come, but I don't dare to make a marriage arrangement for him easily."

But it is hinting that Yu Xin may have the emperor's intention to marry him, and maybe he will also refer to the clan's daughter.

Mother Jia glanced at Mrs. Wang, thinking about the benefits of accepting it, and pretended not to understand what Mrs. Xue said, and said with a smile, "Isn't it good fortune?
Let me tell you, this old lady, the greatest blessing in getting married is that you are from the same family and know everything. It would be better if the two families are already related.

Auntie, it’s not that I’m a talkative old lady, it’s just that I met your brother’s sister Luan today. She is such a good person. She outshines all the other girls in my family. She and Brother Xin are direct cousins. A perfect match? "
