The Concubine Wushuang of Red Mansion

Chapter 48
Daiyu secretly glanced at Baoyu, holding a pine nut in her hand, gently peeling off the skin, "Second brother, if you can follow brother Cong to the Dongshan Flower Club, you can tell us when you come back. What’s new there!”

Tanchun had always been fascinated, and after hearing this, he also hurriedly said, "Second brother, go quickly. Come back and tell us who the general manager of Dongshanyuan is. Can he speak clearly?"

The banquet was held in the flower hall, with lily incense burning in the gilt and silver bamboo incense burner. On the high table near the window, there were two bottles of newly bloomed hibiscus flowers. The aroma of the wine and food filled the room, the steam was steaming, and all kinds of fragrances entangled.

"Please!"

"Please!"

"Please forgive me for the thin wine and cold banquet!" Jia She said humbly.

"Hey, Mr. Jia's words are out of context! My nephew, here is a cup of herbal tea, and I am willing to drink it!" Houda held Jia Cong's shoulders and entered the flower hall together.

Jia Zheng and Jia Baoyu came in to meet Hou Da.

When Jia Cong saw Jia Baoyu for the first time, he was unhappy. He must have been forced to come by Jia Zheng. However, his face was as handsome as the full moon, with red lips and white teeth. The book said that he "seeked sorrow and hatred for no reason." , Sometimes he seems stupid and crazy. Even though he was born with a good skin, his belly turns out to be rough."

However, Jia Baoyu's performance in the section "Talent Testing in Grand View Garden" is remarkable, and it is not because he did not read the article recklessly.He just doesn't want to read articles about official career and economics. He likes poems, songs, and scripts.

"This is your son, the one who was born with a jade in his mouth?" Hou Da looked at Jia Baoyu carefully and smiled in appreciation, "He is indeed a good man. There are many talents in the house, and he is as elegant as the Duke of the country back then!"

"Your Excellency, this is indeed the case. It is also a blessing for me to be a low-ranking official!"

However, Jia Baoyu disliked Hou Da's appearance as a reckless man. He had a dull face and saluted perfunctorily, without a single smile the whole time.

After meeting each other, the guests and hosts sat down. After three rounds of wine, Hou Da began to tell Jia Cong about going to the Dongshan Flower Fair, "If summer is in full bloom, it will start in the evening. Or when they are enjoying the scenery in small groups, they will be accompanied by a servant from the garden, who will bring a palace-made poetry tube. If they have more, they will write it down and put it in. "

"It happens to be winter this time, but winter is also good. The mountains are covered with snow, and the wintersweet on the hillside is in bloom. The fragrance is refreshing. My nephew will have to think of some good poems by then!"

This was a reminder to Jia Cong that this flower party must be mainly about praising plum blossoms. Jia Cong picked up the wine glass and said, "Uncle Hou, thank you very much!"

Houda drank it all in one gulp and patted Jia Cong's hand gently, "On that day, I will come to pick you up personally!"

"Uncle Hou, no need. On that day, Uncle Hou will definitely be very busy. It will be bad if it delays Uncle Hou's official business. Besides, on that day, there should be someone from the Zhongshun Prince's Mansion, and I can go with them. ."

"That's okay. Master You will definitely go. As long as he is here, you don't have to worry about anything."

Jia Zheng said from the side, "Sir, please relax. Although he is a small person, but it is such a big deal, the old lady must be concerned and must send someone to follow him."

Houda smiled and said, "That's true. Each post can bring one or two people in, either a companion or a follower. It's all cheap."

When Jia Zheng heard this, he relaxed.

Not everyone enjoyed the meal. After the meal was finished and Hou Da was sent away, Jia Zheng specially took the invitation card from Jia Cong, looked at it over and over, and rubbed it carefully. The warmth in his eyes could not be concealed. .

"Brother Cong, are you sure you can go this time?" Jia Zheng asked with concern.

"It's just poetry! When the time comes, we may find good words in the scenery, but we still don't know!" Jia Cong didn't want to say more.

"Your second brother Lian is not in good health. Seeing that the flower fair is about to come again, I wonder who the eldest master plans to let go with Cong'er?" Jia Zheng was moved. If it weren't for his identity, he really wanted to accompany Jia Cong. go together.

Jia She said, "What's the harm in sending a few servants?" Jia She didn't take the matter seriously. After all, it was the chief's matter, and Jia Zheng couldn't ask more.

He returned the invitation to Jia Cong, turned around and shouted to Jia Baoyu, "Follow me!"

Baoyu was struck from the head like a thunderbolt, trembling all over, he looked towards Jia Cong for help.

Jia Cong pretended not to see it. Baoyu was the only golden phoenix in the golden nest of Duke Rong's mansion. What happened to him was not Jia Cong's turn to worry about.

Jia Cong took the post and walked quickly towards the backyard. If his aunt saw this post, she would be very happy.

As soon as he entered the door, Qingwen flew up to grab the invitation card in his hand. Jia Cong raised his hand to avoid it, and she acted coquettishly, "Third Master, let me see. You are eating delicious food in front of me. Tell someone to come back and tell us so we can wait!"

Jia Cong hurriedly looked towards Mrs. Zhong and saw Mrs. Zhong leaning on the pillow, staring at the invitation in his hand. Jia Cong hurriedly handed it over, "Auntie, have you been waiting for a long time?"

Huaping smiled and said, "Listen to what little Qingwen is saying. As soon as the food is left in the front, we will know. How can we wait for the third master?"

Jia Cong glanced at Qingwen and asked, "I asked you to think carefully the day before yesterday, where did you go wrong, but you didn't listen?"

Qingwen pouted, stroking the hair hanging down on her shoulders with both hands, and swaying her waist, "The third master wants to send someone again. If the third master wants to punish me, just punish me!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hands.

Jia Cong looked at the hand and shook his head, "It seems that this is all your fault for not studying. As the saying goes, people learn from books. If you don't correct your temper, sooner or later, you will cause trouble!"

"What trouble can I cause? If Third Master dislikes me, just give me back to the old lady!" Qingwen said aggrievedly.

Jia Cong put the invitation card on her outstretched hands, "You have a lively temperament. That's fine in my small courtyard. What if you go outside and offend others and make enemies?" good?"

"I only do this in our house. I don't go out to the courtyard. Where can I go to make enemies? Could it be that when guests come, I will be cold-faced and show off my temper to them?"

"Okay, just remember what you said!"

Outside the door, She Yue came in, "Third Master, the girls are here. They said they heard that Third Master got that invitation, and they all came to see the invitation!"

"Please quickly!" Jia Cong said hurriedly, "Please come to my room, I'll come right away!"

He then ordered, "Make tea!"

"There's no good tea in our house, and it can't be compared to Master Bao's house!" Qingwen said quickly.

Aunt Zhong became anxious when she heard this and stood up, "Have Huaping brew the tea that the Third Master bought the day before yesterday and send it to the girls!"

As Jia Cong was walking on the corridor, he heard a burst of chirping in the house.

She Yue was entertaining the girls, "These are the fresh snacks our third master bought from the street the day before yesterday. They are all from Fulin Ji. I heard that the best snack shop in the capital is from the south. The chef is from the south. It tastes good." , and exquisite."
