Gourmet Red Chamber: A Chronicle of Baochai's Rebirth

Chapter 82: Go become a monk with you

Last time, Jia Baoyu couldn't be found. Wang Xifeng said he wanted to accompany the sisters to the garden, but it didn't work, let alone these people?
Baby Xue learned the lesson this time and sat quietly picking out snacks and preserves from the box to eat.

Jia Mu is definitely an expert in eating, drinking and having fun. This box of candied snacks is of the best both in taste and color.

Fortunately, this time Jia Baoyu's whereabouts soon became clear. He went to the Grand View Garden and Cuicui Temple.

It’s self-evident what you’re going to do when you go to Cucui Temple at this time.

Jia Mu was furious, "Who leaked the news?"

Qingwen replied tremblingly, "Old lady, I don't know what the news is. I only asked people at home and found out that the second master first got rid of She Yue and Qiu Wen who were serving him today, went to the second grandma's place, and then went to look for them. Aunt Zhao, then went to the Grand View Garden.

The woman in the garden said that the second master had brought Ming Yan and other boys in, and she knocked the woman guarding the gate of the Congcui Temple to the ground, and Shi Qiang broke in."

Xue Baobao pretended to be confused and said, "No, I heard that there is a nun living in the Cuicui Nunnery, named Miaoyu, and she is a perfect beauty. How can cousin Baoyu be so rude and rude?"

Xichun also realized what he was doing. He stood up and asked sharply, "There are all female masters in the Congcui Nunnery. What do you want to do when the second brother breaks in with his servants? What do you want to do?"

Only then did Jia Mu remember that there were guests in the house, including her own girls, and she hurriedly said, "Ms. Xing, I have something to do here. You can take Mrs. Xue and the girls to the garden."

He apologized to Mrs. Xue again, but Mrs. Xue hurriedly said she didn't dare, so Mrs.

Xichun and Miaoyu were on good terms, and she was afraid that Miaoyu would suffer a loss, so she took Tanchun to go to Cucui Temple as soon as she left home.

Tanchun was hesitant to go, but Mrs. Xing also wanted to see the excitement, so she deliberately said, "Mrs. Xue and the two girls haven't been to our Grand View Garden yet? We have nothing to do at this time, so why don't I take you for a walk?" .

But I’m not bragging, this garden specially built for my wife’s marriage is definitely worth a visit.”

Grand View Garden!

Xue Baobao's eyes lit up. Whoever has seen the Red Mansion doesn't want to see the Grand View Garden with his own eyes!

Mrs. Xue was about to refuse, but when she saw her daughter's earnestness, she changed her words and said with a smile, "Then I'll trouble you, madam."

Mrs. Xing hurriedly ordered the sedan to be prepared, and the group headed towards the Grand View Garden.

Mrs. Xing was anxious to see the excitement and ordered to go directly to the Cuicui Temple.

After entering the Grand View Garden, Xue Baobao quietly lifted the curtain of his sedan chair and paid homage to this master of gardens that once only existed in literary works with the heart of a fan.

The sedan chair moved quickly under the urging of Mrs. .

Sure enough, the sedan stopped, and Mrs. Xing and others got off the sedan one after another.

The Taoist nun guarding the door had seen them coming from a distance and went to report the news. At this time, a young nun and several Taoist nuns were waiting at the door.

The young nun in front of me, although she is dressed as a nun, has black hair and looks good. She must be Miaoyu.

Xichun had always been on good terms with her, so he hurriedly stepped forward and pulled her over to ask what was going on.

Miaoyu had a cold, jade-like face, nodded slightly towards Xichun, bowed to everyone, and then said to Mrs. It’s dirty, but I can’t live there any longer, so I’m leaving today.”

Mrs. Xing didn't expect that she would come here in such a hurry to take on such a thing. She immediately said, "I was bringing my relatives to visit the garden today, and I happened to come here. I came in to offer some incense. The girl's affairs have nothing to do with me." , it’s better to talk to others.”

Miao Yuxian had never seen such a rogue, and couldn't help but be stunned.

Xichun said angrily, "Let's go. You should have left a long time ago. What are you doing in such a dirty place? It will make you unclean."

Miaoyu stopped looking at Mrs. Xing, turned her head and saluted Xichun with her palms clasped, "Thank you, Miss Four."

After saying that, he ordered her to bring the two nuns from Jia's house to pack her bags, and she stood at the door waiting, obviously not planning to go in again, and would leave as soon as her things were packed.

Mrs. Xing was anxious, fearing that she would be involved, so she hurriedly said, "Girl, if you want to leave, just leave. You have to say goodbye to the old lady, right? Otherwise, the old lady will think that I don't want to keep you, and asked me to take the responsibility for nothing."

Miaoyu was aloof and aloof, so she couldn't bear Mrs. Xing's behavior and just ignored her.

Just as Mrs. Xing was about to persuade her again, Jia Baoyu suddenly rushed out and asked loudly, "They said you were leaving, right or wrong!"

It was Miaoyu who asked.

Miaoyu nodded with a cold face. Jia Baoyu's face was already full of tears. Hearing these words was even more heartbreaking. He cried, "Sister Bao is gone, Sister Lin is gone, and now you are leaving too. I am still alive." What do you mean, I might as well become a monk with you!"

Miaoyu's condensed face showed fluctuations. Second Master Bao was actually willing to become a monk for her?
Xue Baobao really couldn't stand Jia Baoyu's behavior and sneered repeatedly, "You became a monk when you wanted to, and what are you doing to get me and Sister Lin involved?
You casually shout about being a monk but not a monk, which makes others feel moved by you, but what do outsiders think of us?
If outsiders make random remarks, you became a monk because of me and Sister Lin. Do you still want our reputation as best friends?
Cousin Baoyu, it’s been two years and you still haven’t made any progress at all!

No, you are even more shameless now. Not only do you want to harm Sister Lin and me, you also want to harm the reputation of a Qingxiu master!

What do you mean, I might as well become a monk with you?
When you become a monk, you become a monk, and there is no one to help you. Why do you have to involve yourself in this or that?Do you want everyone to talk about how Master Miaoyu got the young master of the Duke's Mansion to become a monk with her? "

Only then did Miaoyu react, her pretty face turned red, and she walked away without saying a word.

Jia Baoyu was about to give chase, but Xue Baobao added another blow, "Cousin Baoyu, what are you doing? You want to run after me with this Master Miaoyu, can't we make it work?"

Miaoyu paused, her eye circles suddenly turned red, she turned around and glared at Jia Baoyu, then glared at Xue Baoyu.

Xue Baobao blinked innocently, "What? Master Miaoyu, am I wrong?"

Miaoyu cried in anger at her, turned around and walked away so fast that she even forgot her manners.

Mrs. Xue couldn't help but glare at Xue Baobao. Xue Baobao was even more innocent. Originally, she was telling the truth!
Mrs. Xing estimated that Xue Baobao's troubles could not be blamed on Jia's mother. She immediately remembered that she wanted to watch the fun, and hurriedly caught up a few steps and asked, "Girl, even if you want to leave, you have to leave." Please explain why?"

Although she was stupid, she also knew that Baoyu and her son must have provoked Miaoyu to suddenly say that she wanted to leave. At this time, she was looking forward to taking words out of Miaoyu's mouth so that she could discredit Baoyu and her son in the future.

Miaoyu paid no attention to her and just continued to walk forward.

The little girl standing next to her said bitterly, "Madam, there is no need to ask. Not to mention that all the dirty and smelly things in your house are sent to our Cuicui'an, but a few smelly men dare to break in in broad daylight. Do you really think that our girls are... You can’t be a beggar if you live in someone else’s house, let you bully me like this!”

"Dirty and smelly?"

Mrs. Xing was overjoyed and asked loudly, "You mean the second wife? Didn't the second wife come to Cuicui'an to recuperate?"

The little girl became even more angry, "We girls originally thought she was here to recuperate, and we sincerely offered incense and prayed for her. Now that Second Master Bao is here, we know--"

"shut up!"

Miaoyu scolded, and the little girl shut up unwillingly.

Mrs. Xing got a satisfactory answer and stopped chasing them. She turned around and sighed to Mrs. Xue very artificially, "The second wife is really, really - well, let's go in and see her."Just as he was talking, the maid came to report that Jia Mu came with Jia Zheng.

Mrs. Xing was afraid that Mother Jia would be angry when she saw her watching the fun, so she hurriedly said, "There is nothing to see here, let's go somewhere else."

Xue Baobao actually wanted to go in and see Mrs. Wang's miserable state, but he did as he pleased, so he could only regretfully get on the sedan again.

Before leaving, she took a special glance. Jia Baoyu was still standing there, staring at the direction Miaoyu left with tears streaming down her face.

However, Mrs. Wang was imprisoned, Jia Mu was not around, and Tan Chun was held tightly by the angry Xichun. No one sympathized with his tenderness.

Xue Baoyu boarded the sedan, and the sedan curtain fell, covering her sneer. Her own mother had caused such a big trouble. She was beaten and fell ill by her father, and was imprisoned in a nunnery by her grandmother. Jia Baoyu still had the heart to cry. A nun who only spoke a few words, Mrs. Wang always felt that she had laid a phoenix egg. She didn’t know what kind of egg it was...

……

……

The scenery of the Grand View Garden is beautiful and the weather is very good. Xue Baobao is very satisfied with his visit.

Mrs. Xing was in a good mood and was rarely enthusiastic. Seeing Jia's mother busy with Jia Baoyu, she did not fulfill her promise to treat Mrs.

Everyone divided into two tables, had dinner and then continued shopping. Xue Baobao continued shopping until three or four o'clock in the afternoon before he returned to Wang Xifeng still unfinished, said goodbye to her and went home.

When she went to Jia's Mansion in the morning, she saw a new dim sum shop opened near Xue's Mansion. She could smell the aroma from the carriage, so she asked Mrs. Xue to go down and have a look.

Mrs. Xue always indulged her, so she took her and Zhen Yinglian out of the car to watch.

As soon as he walked in, the alluring sweet fragrance rushed straight into his mouth, nose, and tongue. Xue Baobao's eyes lit up and his pace quickened.

Mrs. Xue looked amused and patted Zhen Yinglian's hand, "You also go with Sister Bao. When you encounter delicious food, buy some and bring them back to your mother to try."

Zhen Yinglian smiled and said, "I'll choose with my wife, there's no rush."

Mrs. Xue followed her, and the two of them walked leisurely. Xue Baobao had already put on his curtain hat and entered the store. The female shopkeeper had already come to greet her. Seeing that Xue Baobao was well dressed, she asked enthusiastically, "Miss Do you want to go to the private room to watch it, or just watch it in the lobby?"

When you go to a private room to see something, you just need to order a private room and have the waiter deliver the items to you and take a look at them slowly.

What's the point of that?
Xue Baobao said, "Just watch here."

The female shopkeeper held a brand new and clean silver plate and silver chopsticks, and followed her diligently to introduce it. When she saw which item she was interested in, she took out a small piece with her silver chopsticks and asked her to taste it.

Xue Baobao spent the entire afternoon strolling around the garden, and the little food he had eaten for lunch had long been digested.

Almost everything in this new store is exquisite and cute. The appearance alone is irresistible, and the taste is completely different from what she has eaten before.

She was very pleasantly surprised. Under the attentive greeting of the female shopkeeper, she tasted almost every dim sum in the store. She was very satisfied with the food. She didn't ask about the price and said boldly, "Everything I just ate is worth five." Two, three packages in total."

The women will eat one portion in the backyard, one portion for Yu Xin and Xue Pan to eat in the front yard, and another portion for Wang Xifeng.

The female shopkeeper was very happy and hurriedly ordered the waiter to prepare.

Xue Baobao had nothing to do, so he chatted with the female shopkeeper, "Your products are so good, why is the business not so good?"

When she first walked in, there were still a few customers choosing. By this time, it was almost dark, and it was supposed to be a good time for business, but no more customers came.

The female shopkeeper smiled and said, "We hired an authentic royal chef who has worked in the palace for many years. He doesn't make many things every day, and the price is a bit expensive, so there will inevitably be fewer customers."

Xue Baobao's thoughts moved slightly, Yu Chu, she has never seen a living Yu Chu!

Judging from today's dim sum alone, the royal chef's skills are excellent. Regardless of the taste, he has more tricks than her and the cooking is more exquisite than her. It would be great if I had the opportunity to ask for advice.

At this moment, the sweet and clear sound of the Buddha's horn sounded behind Xue Baobao, "Amitabha, donor Xue, long time no see."

Xue Baobao turned around in surprise and saw Baozhuan, whom he had not seen for a long time, standing at the door, clasping his hands and smiling at him.

"Grandmaster!"

Awei shouted in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Baozhuang stepped into the shop unhurriedly, approached, and once again put his hands together as a gift, "I had nothing to do today and I went out for a walk. I didn't expect to meet two donors. What an unexpected surprise."

After Xue Baobao was overjoyed, he looked him up and down carefully.

Of course, today's Baozhu can no longer wear monk's cassocks like in Shennong Mountain. He wears light blue Zhuzi deep clothes, uses silver thread to embroider bodhi leaf patterns with hidden needles, and his black hair is tied up with a silver crown, except for the center of his eyebrows. The bright Qingxin stone and the string of Buddhist beads in his hand are no different from those of the scholars in the capital.

After not seeing him for more than a month, he had lost some weight and his face was quite pale. With his scholarly attire, he looked like a man walking in the wind, with a sickly beauty that attracted pity.

Xue Baobao was immediately shocked, "Master, are you sick again?"

Baozhuang smiled shyly, with patches of blush appearing on his pale face, "It's not that I'm sick, it's just that I can't get used to the food in the palace."

Awei was speechless, "Can't you get used to the food in the palace? I heard people say that the food in the palace is called the royal meal, and it is the most delicious food in the world!"

Baozhuang glanced at Xue Baobao and his face turned redder, "In my opinion, only the food made by Donor Xue is the most delicious in the world."

Xue Baobao, "..."

Suddenly I wanted to kiss Baozhuang hard and give him a big mouthful!

This is the first time someone said that what she cooks is the most delicious in the world, and she is a prince who eats royal meals every day!
This is definitely the highest recognition for her!
Awei suddenly clapped his hands, "It turns out that the imperial meal is not as delicious as the food made by the girl! I just said that the food made by the girl is so delicious, how could there be anyone who tastes better than the food made by the girl!"

Then he worriedly said, "Master, you have been eating royal food for more than a month, and you haven't gotten used to it yet? You are already starving and losing weight."

Baozhuang said with a gentle smile, "It's okay. Donor Xue and Donator Awei like the dim sum here? Why don't we let the poor monk do his best?"

Xue Baobao waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, I'll buy it myself."

Before she finished speaking, she heard Baozhuang say to the female shopkeeper who came to greet her, "Please come out, your boss, the poor monk wants to buy this shop."

Xue Baobao, "..."

The layout is small.
