Gourmet Red Chamber: A Chronicle of Baochai's Rebirth

She had something in her hand and didn't dare to move easily, so she turned back to signal to Awei.

Awei threw the purse in his hand to Sun Xiaosheng and bared his teeth at it, "Girl, I reward you, don't scare us girls again in the future."

Sun Xiaosheng screamed, ignoring Asafoetida at all, and opened his purse very skillfully. When he saw a bag of pistachios inside, he happily grabbed it and stuffed it into his mouth.

Xue Baobao thought of Nan Xing again when he saw it, and couldn't help but ask, "Master, how long does it take for Nan Xing to learn the art?"

Baozhuang smiled and said, "It depends on him."

Xue Baobao, "..."

Sure enough, asking was in vain.

Xue Baobao sighed, "I also promised to make him drunken crabs and rice dumplings with rice wine."

Baozhuang smiled, "The donor still owes me the cherries in front of the poor monk's house, so don't worry."

Xue Baobao, "..."

I remember that it was you who said that I must try it if I had the chance, and it wasn’t me who said that I would give you a taste of it if I had the chance. How come I owe you the cherry?
It's a pity that Baozhuang is the boss and she is not. Xue Baobao swallowed his anger and said that he must remember it, said goodbye and left.

She is a commoner, so she can just follow Yu Xin home.

The delicate and expensive Baozhu was not allowed. He had to go to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing first, and then choose a good and auspicious day to be ceremoniously brought to the capital by the Ministry of Rites.

Baozhuang watched Xue Baobao and his sister riding away quickly, and stretched out his hand towards Xiliu.

Xiliu immediately presented the box that Xue Baobao had entrusted him to give to Nanxing and Beiqi.

When the treasure box was opened, it was indeed the medicine for bruises and bruises that Xue Baobao mentioned. However, Nanxing's box contained one more bag of nuts than Beiqi and Xiliu's.

The purse is the one that Xue Baobao often wears with a long string of fish in it. Each carp-shaped purse is filled with nuts of different types and flavors.

Baozhuang took the purse in his hand, returned the box to Xiliu, and entered the wooden house.

The horse took a leisurely step, and he also threw the fruits in his pocket into his mouth one by one.

Well, it was made by Donor Xue himself. It is delicious and can reflect the most authentic and mellow flavor of the food.

It's a pity that Donor Xue is gone. Maybe he won't be able to eat the food made by Donor Xue for a long time...

……

……

Over there, Xue Baobao and others escaped from the sight of Baozhuang and others, and hurriedly took out the thing in his hand and looked at it, but it was a note.

The note was very worn. It must have been written a long time ago and had been carried around for a long time.

Open it, and there is a line of crooked and ugly words inside: Miss Xue, if you are looking for your son-in-law, don't look for anyone else. Look for me. I will look for you with great martial arts achievements.

It’s Nanxing——

Xue Baobao held the note and thought for a while, then urged the horse to come to Yu Xin, showed him the note, frowned and said, "Brother, I only told my brother twice about my son-in-law.

One time was when Zhuangzi met his brother when he first entered Shennong Mountain, and the other time was when he and his brother were eating rice bowl in Zhuangzi's kitchen the next day."

Yu Xin's pretty face turned cold, "No matter which time it is, if he accidentally approaches me, there's no way I won't know that he's here specifically to eavesdrop!"

Xue Baobao had a complex look on his face and said silently, "Nan Xing has a simple temperament, and he has always followed Master Baozhuang closely. It should be impossible for him to come to eavesdrop on our conversation."

Yu Xin sneered, "It should be, but it's impossible. That Nanxing was not specially sent by Baozhuang to eavesdrop on our conversation. I, Yu Xin, gave him all my furniture!"
I told you a long time ago that the fake monk looks sanctimonious, but he is definitely not a good person. Do you believe it now? "

Xue Baobao struggled and said, "But over the past year or so, Master Baozhuang has indeed been a pretty good person. When we suddenly broke into his territory at that time, he should have been more careful."

Yu Xin sneered repeatedly. When Butler She came to take Ning Ze's right hand on Baozhuang's order, he stopped him. Unexpectedly, before the winner could be decided, he found that he had suddenly lost his voice. He was shocked and lost his calm. Ning Ze's hand tendon was severed by Steward She's stab from an angle. Steward She succeeded in the attack and immediately ran away.

He didn't know how he got into trouble, and he was worried about Ning Ze's injury, so he naturally didn't dare to pursue him, so he hurriedly went down to Shennong Mountain to seek medical treatment.

Ning Ze's right hand tendon was broken. There was no modern technology at this time. Although his right hand was not completely disabled, he could no longer do heavy and delicate work, let alone hold a knife or sword. Ning Ze could be said to be half disabled.

As for him, he didn't have any serious symptoms. He couldn't speak. He just felt uncomfortable in his throat, as if something was stuck. The doctor looked at it and said he seemed to have been poisoned by some kind of poison, and the meridians around his throat were stagnant. He was suffering from stagnation and couldn't see anything else at all. He only dared to give him medicine to activate blood circulation, remove blood stasis and moisten his throat.

He was almost in despair at the time, thinking that he would be mute for the rest of his life. Unexpectedly, three months later, he suddenly recovered.

Judging from what Bao Bao told him, the fake monk had been very good to her for more than a year and had never even shown his true face in front of her.

The baby has a shallow mind. If he told the baby that Bao Zhuang cut off Ning Ze's hand and poisoned him, the baby would definitely not be able to treat Bao Zhuang without any grudges like now. He would be afraid of him and stay away from him. Maybe he will even hate him. If he meets him again, clues will be revealed. What will Baozhuang do to the baby?
Yu Xin found that he could not predict Baozhuang's reaction at all. He was really frightened by Baozhuang's torment. However, Baozhuang had a distinguished status and had countless capable people around him. He was also very likely to be good at the legendary poison technique. There was nothing he could do. He must not.

If Baozhuang really treats the baby like him in anger because the baby hates and fears him, he will not be able to protect the baby at all!
Yu Xin's face turned even colder, but he didn't dare to reveal any of his words. He just poked her forehead hard and said, "Write this to me ten thousand times when you get back. No man in the world can trust anyone except my brother. That Baozhuang is , so is that Nanxing!"

Xue Baobao, "..."

Start again, start again!

What kind of childhood shadow did my brother have to make him feel so insecure?

……

……

On the same day, Xue Baobao followed Yu Xin home, met Mrs. Xue and others, and went to bed without mentioning anything.

Xue Baobao walked on the road for nearly a month. Suddenly he came home and took a rare nap. As soon as he woke up, he heard Ying'er say that Lin Daiyu was here.

Xue Baobao was overjoyed and hurriedly washed himself and went to Mrs. Xue's place.

Lin Daiyu has indeed arrived. After not seeing each other for more than a year, Lin Daiyu has grown a lot taller, her face has also broadened, and she has become more and more beautiful, like a little fairy.

Lin Daiyu burst into tears when she saw Xue Baobao, rushed forward to hug her, and called her sister with choked sobs.Xue Baobao's eyes were also red. After comforting him for a long time, Lin Daiyu stopped crying.

Mrs. Xue cried for a long time yesterday, and today she is only happy. She held Baby Xue in her arms and rubbed it, and said to Mrs. Zhen with a smile, "I'm not afraid of my old sister's jokes. My daughter, I really can't get enough pain. This For more than a year, she was not at home, and I followed her with my heart and soul."

Mrs. Zhen praised Xue Baobao's benefits. Mrs. Xue laughed so hard that wrinkles appeared. Seeing Lin Daiyu looking at Xue Baobao eagerly, she said, "Go out and play with your sisters. Come to my place for lunch at noon." ".

Lin Daiyu said eagerly and took Xue Baobao to leave.

Mrs. Xue thought about it again and said to Baby Xue, "Your sister Feng has a birthday in a few days. She left a message for us all. I heard that you were back and sent someone here early in the morning. I specially sent a message to you. post.

She values ​​you so much, so of course you have to go there. You little sisters have had a great time, so let’s discuss what gifts to give. It doesn’t have to be too expensive, but it doesn’t have to be rude.”

Xue Baobao nodded in agreement and went out with Lin Daiyu and Zhen Yinglian.

When the sisters met, they naturally had something to say to each other. The three of them went to the Powerless Paradise, where they sat on the swing and swayed while talking about their feelings for each other.

Seeing that it was getting noon, the maids came to urge them, and the three girls got up and walked out.

As soon as the three of them reached the door of the yard, a little girl ran over excitedly and said that Yu Xin had sent several large carts of seafood, and there were also several boxes of sea mussels, all of which were as big as small ones. Everyone was talking about it. There must be pearls inside.

Lin Daiyu was curious and ordered Xueyan to go and confess to Mrs. Xue, and she was going to see her immediately.

Xue Baobao accompanied them all the way.

The overseas goods are all packed in large boxes. The delivery person has just left, so they are still opened at this time, presumably for the convenience of inspection.

Lin Daiyu pulled Zhen Yinglian and Xue Baobao closer to take a look. She was pleasantly surprised and shouted that it was exactly the same as what was written in the book.

Zhen Yinglian was also amazed by what she saw. After a while, the two of them were satisfied and then went to Mrs. Xue's yard.

Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "Seeing this, I remembered that we forgot that mom also assigned us a task to think about what birthday gift to give to Sister Feng."

Xue Baobao smiled and said, "It's simple for me. From the batch of seafood that my eldest brother asked someone to bring from the seaside, I picked the best ones and sent them over to add some dishes for her birthday."

Lin Daiyu laughed and said, "You are good at taking tricks, so I will copy some scriptures for Sister Feng to keep her and Niu Niu safe and prosperous."

Zhen Yinglian was silent. Xue Baobao and Lin Daiyu could give as many fishes and copies of scriptures as they wanted. If she gave them too little, she would probably make people laugh.

Lin Daiyu took her hand and said to Xue Baobao, "Sister, you don't know that during your absence, your garden full of herbs, fruits and vegetables, my eldest sister was afraid that the girls couldn't take care of it, so she took care of it herself. Take care of it!

Now the eldest sister has learned a lot of skills. Not only does she know how to water angelica and poria cocos every few days, but she also knows the properties of the medicine and what diseases it can cure! "

Xue Baobao was surprised and moved at the same time. Zhen Yinglian has always been like this, so docile and silent that she has almost no sense of existence, but she will always do things thoughtfully and appropriately in places where others don't even notice.

Zhen Yinglian waved her hands repeatedly, "I'm just idle at home. It's just for me to relax. It's not worth it."

Xue Baobao sighed, "No matter what my sister says, I just remember it."

Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "But you don't have to remember. We only agreed to open a few sea clams for fun. If we get pearls, we can make a gift for my eldest sister and give it to Sister Feng."

Xue Baobao nodded with a smile, "This is a good idea, and the lottery is good. Even our sister Lin is good at it. After seeing how fresh it is, we can also have a meal of sea clam meat at night. Everything is really good!"

Lin Daiyu smiled and wanted to hit her. The three girls laughed and went to have lunch with Mrs. Xue. Lin Daiyu couldn't wait to see the clam.

Mrs. Xue invited Mrs. Zhen to join in the fun, and asked the Xue Chen family to find someone who could open clams.

Xue Chen's family smiled and said, "The uncle is careful and knows that not everyone may be able to handle these things. He specifically asked the delivery person to stay in our house for a few days and leave after he has figured it out. I will go and call him right away." ".

The delivery person was a short man in his forties. He looked like he had lived at the beach all year round and was swarthy due to the sea breeze. He took a very long and thin knife and slowly cut it along the opening of the sea mussel. Just watching it feels hard and difficult.

When he finally opened the clam, the female family members breathed a sigh of relief.

The man put the knife aside and went to pull out the clam meat that was still squirming. After a while, three or four shiny pink and white pearls appeared in front of everyone, followed by a string of small pearls that were not fully formed. .

Mrs. Xue was so happy that she chanted the Buddha's name repeatedly, "My son has recovered and returned home. He even opened a clam and got pearls. This is really a good sign."

The man took the pearl off, and the Xue Chen family hurriedly ordered the maid to wash it and put it in a small dish for Mrs. Xue and others to see.

Mrs. Xue took each bead in her hand and looked at it carefully, then gave it to Mrs. Zhen to look at. She smiled and said, "These beads are of no use. Let's just leave them for now and see if we can produce more like this later. It's just for making pearl powder or something." That’s all.

These four large ones are all round and shaped. It is a small birthday for Feng Yatou, but there is no need to give such a thick gift.

In my opinion, girl Zhen, just choose the smallest one, add some silver, and make a ring as a birthday gift."

It is said to be the smallest one, but it is not too small. Buying it in the market will cost at least dozens of taels of silver. It is considered a very heavy gift for a birthday.

"These three are left. The largest one will also be made into a ring for your mother. The two medium ones are just about the same size. You can make a pair of earrings by yourself, just in time to wear them when you go to Rongguo Mansion to eat and drink."

Zhen Yinglian hurriedly declined, Mrs.

Lin Daiyu acted coquettishly and refused, so Mrs. Xue said deliberately, "You said you are not shameless. I just ask you, if we open another one, if there are any beads in it, I will give it to you. Do you want it?"

Lin Daiyu blinked, threw herself into Mrs.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh. Mrs. Xue held her in her arms and caressed her lovingly. She said to Mrs. Zhen, "I only have a son and a daughter. It's really a little thin, but fortunately I have some very outstanding adopted sons." female.

To be honest, whether it's brother Xin, Yinglian or Yu'er, I treat them as my own children, and you don't want to be heretical with me.

To put it bluntly, when I am old one day, wouldn’t it be better to have three daughters to look after than one daughter? "

Xue Baobao and Lin Daiyu also helped to speak, and then Mrs. Zhen and Zhen Yinglian accepted it.

Mrs. Xue ordered two more clams to be opened. Lin Daiyu and Xue Baobao each found pearls, so they discussed making jewelry.

Mrs. Xue sighed, "Brother Xin is very capable, and even his subordinates are all very capable. Although this sea clam is bigger than a river clam, it's not like everyone can tell the difference, but they pick the right one!"

As soon as she said this, all the masters and slaves in the room nodded their heads, and Baobao Xue laughed so hard that he couldn't even see his face. "Yeah, brother is the best!"
