Red Mansion Huacai

Chapter 279 Crab feast?
In the bedroom, Fu Qiufang felt a little cramped sitting on the bedside. The imperial doctor Wang Jiren checked the pulse through the brocade handkerchief, stood up and smiled, stroking his beard and saying, "Congratulations, uncle, it is indeed a happy pulse."

Fu Qiufang, who was on the bed, suddenly felt relieved and had a smile on her face. She was so happy that she kept it secret from Li Weijian for more than ten days, for fear that her joy would be in vain. He raised his eyes to look at Li Weijian, only to see that his face was indeed full of joy, and he said to Wang Jiren: "Haha, thanks to the holy hands of Imperial Physician Wang. Come on, get my ivory mirror, and let Physician Wang be happy too."

Wang Jiren was shocked and immediately shied away. Li Weijian smiled and said: "It's just an object. I might have to trouble you in the future, so please don't refuse, Dr. Wang."

At that moment, Qingwen put the palm-sized ivory mirror into a brocade box and forced it on Wang Jiren. Wang Jiren secretly thought to himself, it was indeed Li Caishen, and he would get a treasure just by visiting a doctor. Even if he visited a noble concubine in the palace, there would be no such benefit. Immediately he took the ivory mirror and left with a smile filled with gratitude.

As soon as people left, the place immediately became lively. Li Wen smiled quietly, while Li Qi clamored whether he was a nephew or a niece. Baoqin, Xiangling, Hongyu, and Qingwen also gathered around. Fu Qiufang found it hard to answer what you said and what I said.

Seeing that it was too noisy, Li Weijian smiled and said: "The days are going to be long in the future. Qiu Fang was just unlucky. I'm afraid the fetus is still unstable and everything will be gone by now."

Li Wen said: "The third lady has sent the post, so there is no need to delay it. I think we should discuss it. If we establish a poetry club today, it will be a double happiness."

At that moment, Li Qi, Xiang Ling, and Bao Qin all responded and left the hall together laughing and joking. Bao Qin looked back and observed before going out. His eyes were filled with joy and curiosity, and he didn't know what it felt like to be unhappy.

The remaining Qingwen and Xiuying didn't bother much, smiled and stepped away, leaving Li Weijian alone to sit next to Fu Qiufang.

The maid Nian Xia brought lotus seed soup, and Li Weijian took it first. After it cooled down, he wanted to feed it. Fu Qiufang's face was tender, and she immediately said angrily: "It's only been two months, why do you need me to serve you? Let me do it by myself, what will it look like if it spreads!"

Fu Qiufang smiled and said, "I have never touched that bicycle."

He then thought about it and said, "Let's ask Xiang Ling what she means. Furthermore, Baoqin's family background also allows her to learn from the sidelines. How much she can learn depends entirely on her ability."

The words that came out of my mouth became a warning: "Now that you are pregnant, you must eat light and balanced meals every day. I will tell you carefully in the kitchen. What do you want to eat? Just ask me to do it." "

This time we saw each other again, my cousin seemed to have completely forgotten the matter. I don’t know if she really thought so, or if she was deliberately hiding it for herself.

This gentleman of mine, no matter how stable he is in public, will always reveal his childish side in private.

Li Weijian smiled and said, "That's all, do you have any preference?"

Now that she got her wish, she was thinking about the child in her belly. Although she didn't want to give up her power, she didn't know how to covet it anymore.

Fu Qiufang knew clearly in her heart that everything was fake now, so the two mistresses finally relaxed. The top priority was to give birth to an heir, so that they could have hope. As for the accounts and power, they will all be postponed.

So he said: "The master started from scratch, and there is no proper accounting office at home. This account is extremely important. I expect that the money passed by this year will be not more than one thousand, but also as much as eight million. Such a huge sum of money must be taken. It’s better to take care of yourself.”

Tanchun said: "Don't be in a hurry. It's the same as moving to Yihongyuan after everything is done." After a pause, he added: "I'm not a vulgar person. I got an idea by chance and wrote a few posts to give it a try. Who can Know all the tricks."

Xiangyun immediately agreed: "We should have set up a club long ago."

Li Weijian smiled and said: "You have always served me, but now I have finally served you, but you don't appreciate it."

Daiyu said: "You guys are only responsible for setting up a society, but don't count me. I don't dare."

Ever since Baoqin entered the house, Fu Qiufang felt a little nervous. That Baoqin was younger and more beautiful than her. Although his methods were immature, they showed his intelligence. In a few years, I'm afraid he will be on par with her.

The two of them were not talking about anything else. Li Weijian playfully put his ear to his belly and listened for a long time, which made Fu Qiufang dumbfounded.

When it comes to family background and farsightedness, Sister Lin is probably not as good as Bao Qin who went to sea in her early years. The little girl is smart and highly malleable, and she also has a vague interest in nurturing Li Weijian, so she can't help but feel a little favored.

Li Weijian didn't respond and force-fed Fu Qiufang two spoonfuls of soup before giving it to him to eat. The joyful look on his face faded slightly, perhaps because he became a father for the first time in two lives, and his heart was full of mixed emotions, so it was difficult to talk to outsiders.

"It's okay." Baoqin smiled like a flower, came over and said obediently: "Although fourth brother Jian is busy, he always comes to talk to me for a while every night. The sisters know that I am young, and they are always here. Leave me alone."

Although Qingwen never mentioned the vague affection between the two, how could she not guess it if she was as smart as a harp? It suddenly dawned on me that it was no wonder that my cousin ran away in anger last time and lost her dignity.

Baoqin responded, secretly suspicious in his heart. The two of them had not seen each other for two full months since the last time the cousin left in a strange mood. However, when they met this time, the cousin seemed to be fine.

Xichun then smiled and said, "Four more have come, and now we are almost all here."

Rongguo Mansion and Grand View Garden.

Sister Bao smiled quietly, suddenly glanced at Bao Qin, waved and said, "How are you doing these days, sister?"

"Master~" Fu Qiufang said angrily: "It's not like you are pregnant for ten months, so there is no need for this."

Because the Li family were guests at this time, Li Wen, Li Qi, Bao Qin, and Xiang Ling all just smiled and said nothing. Xiangyun loves to join in the fun, and when he heard this, he said: "What is there to be modest about? Everyone has his own idea, speak it out and let everyone judge. Sister Bao also has an idea, and Sister Lin also has something to say."

How could Li Weijian not know Fu Qiufang's thoughts? Baoqin is still young, and after all, she can't compare to Baochai, who is as gentle and gentle as Baochai. As soon as he came home, he exposed himself in all directions. Recently, he noticed that the other girls were secretly dissatisfied with him, so he gradually calmed down.

Fu Qiufang was speechless for a while, and couldn't help teasing: "I'm afraid I'll get tired of my master's indifferent nature in a few days. Instead of choosing someone then, it's better to choose a sister to take care of him early in the morning."

"Well," Li Weijian nodded, and then added: "If the accounts of various factories are not good, leave it to the accounting office below. You are the first child, so it is not easy to work hard."

Fu Qiufang said sternly: "It doesn't matter, I'll have a good chat with her, and if I learn from her for two months, nothing will go wrong."

Xiangyun said: "I said it should be placed in my Yihongyuan, which is wider than your Qiushuangzhai."

Fu Qiufang agreed, and Li Weijian added: "Just exercise appropriately every day, just wander around the garden. Don't touch the carriages or bicycles."

Fu Qiufang smiled and responded: "The master has thought carefully, so that's it."

Yingchun smiled and said: "If you don't dare, who would dare!"

"Xiang Ling?" Li Weijian suddenly became happy: "Will she be happy?"

She had not been idle in the past two months. Seeing that it seemed to offend all the women, she hurriedly restrained herself and sold it everywhere, which at least saved her reputation. Because of this, Baoqin learned more or less about the discord between the eldest son of the Xue family and his fourth brother from Qingwen's mouth.

In Qiu Shuangzhai, Sanchun, Daiyu, Baochai, and Xiangyun were all present at this moment. When Li Wen, Li Qi, Baoqin, and Xiangling arrived, Qiu Shuangzhai was packed to the brim in an instant.

Baochai said: "Don't panic, Feng girl is too busy, we have to wait until my sister-in-law comes."

Baochai nodded, and then said seriously: "Sister, don't sell your petty goods. Sister Fu is the safest person to act. It won't hurt if you learn more."

Li Weijian said: "I'm not busy right now. I'm just looking after the accounts. I don't think there will be any mistakes."

Fu Qiufang frowned and thought, "I know the situation of the sisters in the family. I don't care about Xiu Ying and Qingwen. They only focus on guarding me and don't care about the outside world. Sister Baoqin is new. Come on, it’s a pity that I’m too young... After thinking about it, I can only let Xiang Ling take the top position for the time being. "

............................................................

Baoqin didn't know what he was thinking, but he didn't bother to care. It was no longer possible for the cousin and the fourth brother to be left and right. The prophecy in Dengxian Pavilion that day came true, and the cousin really abdicated and gave way to Xian.

Little did she know that Baochai broke her guard that day, but within a few days, her mood was completely suppressed. Thinking of the little words Zhuantian, Yingchun, and Xiangyun passed to me, I suddenly became alarmed. I just thought it was a random act in the chaos.

So what if Yingchun and Xiangyun are disgusted with Baoqin? This matter is a done deal, and Baochai has no other benefits besides watching and having fun. It can be said that it hurts others but does not benefit oneself... After being noticed by Xiangyun and Yingchun, wouldn't I be a villain in vain?
Because Baochai changed his mind and put the matter aside, he only focused on guarding Baoyu.

The two sisters chatted a few words, and Baoqin stepped aside. His eyes wandered slightly between Daiyu and Xiangyun, and then he moved closer to Xiangyun.

"Sister Yun, does the recipe I mentioned last time work?"

Xiangyun suddenly glared and said angrily: "I don't know where you got the folk remedy from. It's okay if you don't use it. It hurts all night long. I was about to settle the score with you, but you just happened to bring it to the door yourself. Come."

Bao Qin suddenly laughed and said: "Sister Yun, don't blame the good people wrongly. My prescription is the most mysterious for injuries caused by bruises. Do you think it will get better in the future?"

Xiangyun couldn't hold back, and burst into laughter. He reached out and poked Baoqin's eyebrows: "Cao Fei is indeed useful. Do you think I can still keep you?"

"Hehe." Baoqin hugged Xiangyun's arm and said with a sweet smile: "Sister Yun and I hit it off right away, how can I hurt you?"

As he spoke, he shook again and again, until Xiangyun was dizzy. He kept shouting: "Don't shake it, I'm dizzy, I'm dizzy." Baoqin just sat next to him.

Turning around and catching a glimpse of Daiyu approaching, Baoqin smiled brightly.

Two months have passed, and although no one has talked about the marriage in detail, how could Baoqin not be aware of his intelligence? Even in front of Li Weijian, Baoqin never mentioned it, and even pretended not to know.

At this time, when they met Daiyu and Xiangyun again, they had already made up their minds. Sister Lin is a person who does not rub dirt in her eyes. If she follows Sister Lin and has to deal with every detail in the future, how can she feel at ease? Sister Yun is different, she is refreshing and slightly manly and careless. If you gain her trust, you will be both benefited and comfortable in the future.

Daiyu, who was opposite, vaguely guessed Baoqin's thoughts, and immediately smiled back, not caring at all. Regardless of the family fortune or the title, what does it have to do with her? In her mind, she vaguely believed that Fourth Brother Jian was just a scholar and a lowly official.

Now that she has identified with him, she doesn't care about wealth or poverty, just wants to stay together forever. In Daiyu's heart, she wished that she would be followed by concubines as worry-free as Xiangling.

The girls were chattering and offering suggestions. Suddenly the curtain was lifted, and Cuimo smiled and said: "Girls, Grandma is here."

Everyone hurriedly stood up to greet them, and then they saw Li Wan walking inside with a smile, and said: "I just want to be a financial backer. I just want to see the excitement when I get up. That's right, Brother Feng, too." He said, "Come when you have time, don't come when you don't have time, and just be a benefactor like me."

Sanchun and others clasped their hands in admiration, but Xiangyun said: "Although the eldest sister-in-law and sister Feng have taken most of the money, when we set up a society, the bosses have to take turns to be the boss. It's not good to keep taking advantage of the big ones."

Xichun teased, "That's right, I almost forgot, Sister Yun and Li Caishen had a small bet, and it turns out that Sister Yun is the big boss of Zhenzhen'er!"

Xiangyun was immediately annoyed and stood up to tear Xichun apart, which made Xichun giggle and run around.

Seeing that he couldn't catch up, Xiangyun immediately pointed his finger and said: "Four girls, just wait, I will definitely give you a good son tomorrow!"

After another commotion, Daiyu said: "Since we are going to start a poetry club, and we are all poets, it would be wise to change the names of these sisters and sisters-in-law first."

Li Wan said: "Very true, why don't we all have different names and call each other Ziya. I have reserved 'Daoxiang Old Farmer' and no one else can take it."

Tanchun smiled and said, "I am the layman Qiu Shuang."

Xiangyun said: "The layman and the master are not suitable after all, and they are also pregnant. There are both sycamores and bananas here, maybe it is better to have sycamores and bananas."

Tanchun thought for a while and said with a smile: "Yes, I like bananas the most, so I'll call them 'banana guests'."

Everyone said it was unique and interesting. Daiyu suddenly laughed and said, "Take her quickly and stew her breasts for wine."

Bao Qin blinked, snorted and laughed.

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Daiyu just said: "You don't know, the ancients once said that 'a deer is covered with banana leaves'. She calls herself 'banana guest', is she not a deer? Come and make deer breasts."

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

Tan Chunyin said with a smile: "Don't be too busy using clever words to curse people. I have already thought of a very good nickname for you." After a pause, he said to everyone: "On that day, Ehuang and Nvying shed tears on the bamboo. It has become spotted, so the mottled bamboo is also called Xiangfei Bamboo. Now she lives in Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and she loves to cry. In the future, she will call her brother-in-law Lin the mottled bamboo, and call her "Xiaoxiang Feizi". ”

When everyone heard about it, they all clapped their hands and praised it. Daiyu lowered her head and couldn't help but think of Li Weijian, so she fell silent.

Li Wan smiled and said: "I have already thought of a good one for Sister Xue, and it only has three words."

Xichun and Yingchun both asked what it was.

Li Wan said: "I have named her 'Heng Wujun', what do you think?"

Tanchun smiled and said: "This title is excellent."

Li Wan asked again: "What are the names of the second and fourth girls?"

Yingchun said, "We're not good at poetry, so what's the point of having a name for nothing?"

Tanchun said: "Even so, let's do it." Baochai said at this time: "She lives in Zilingzhou, so let's call her 'Lingzhou'; the four girls live in Ouxiang Pavilion, let's call her 'Lotus'." It's over."

When it was Xiangyun's turn again, Xichun joked, "It's better to call her Yihong." Unexpectedly, Xiangyun shook his head and said with a smile, "I had thought about it early in the morning, and I'll call him Zhenxia, ​​my old friend."

She had lived in Zhenxia Pavilion when she was in Baolinghou Mansion, so she had just acquired such a name.

In this way, the girls in the Grand View Garden decided on their names.

Li Qi smiled and said to Li Wen: "Sister, everyone has a name, so we don't want to come here in vain."

Li Wen said: "You and I are playing games at home, why not use it for emergencies?"

Li Qi said: "Okay, that sister is Zijin layman, and I am Qixia Sanren."

Xiang Ling was frowning at this moment and was in embarrassment. She was abducted when she was young and lay idle for several years. She didn't pick it up until she got to Li Weijian's side. When it comes to skills, he is certainly not as good as others.

Daiyu saw it in her eyes, how could she put the female disciple in trouble, so she smiled and said: "I think Xiangling's temperament is like that of a lotus, so why not call her a gentleman under the lotus?"

Xiang Ling immediately relaxed her brows, stood up and said, "Thank you, Master."

In a blink of an eye, Bao Qin was the only one left. Baochai suddenly felt joking in his heart and said with a smile: "My sister has traveled all over the world. I think it's better to call her Lord Jinfan?"

Everyone burst out laughing when they heard this, and Tanchun said: "It turns out that Sister Bao can also belittle others, Lord Jinfan... geez, for some reason, I always think of Gan Ning, the thief of Jinfan."

At this time, Bao Qin said with a smile: "It's a pity that Gan Ning is ahead of me, so I can't call him Lord Jinfan. Well... In this case, I'll call him Shu Yingke."

Everyone's names were decided, and Tanchun laughed again: "It's a pity that Brother Bao can't enter the garden, otherwise he would definitely join in the fun."

When Baochai thought of Baoyu's wasted time these days, she suddenly felt resentful. It was true that the mud could not support the wall. The uncle had just been released, and the Bao brothers were completely wasted.

Because he smiled and said: "It would be easy to handle if he comes. The name is ready, just call it 'Nothing Busy'."

As soon as this statement came out, the girls laughed for a while.

After a break, Li Wan took charge and discussed the detailed rules of the poetry society. After much talk, we decided to get together two or three times a month, rain or shine.

A group of golden hairpins, each talking to you and me, became more and more enthusiastic as they talked. As they talked, they talked about taking turns doing things. The money provided by Li Wan and Wang Xifeng was used to buy pens, inks, paper, paper and other items. All the gold hairpins agreed that they should take turns doing things first, and then they could use poems later. The company's money.

At this time, Tanchun said: "It was originally my intention. I have to be a host first before I can live up to my wish."

Li Wan said: "Now that you say so, how about you open a club tomorrow?"

Tanchun said: "Tomorrow will not be as good as today, but now it is very good. Just come up with the topic, Lingzhou is limited to rhyme, and Ouxie is the prison."

At that moment, everyone was talking about the title and the rhyme. Because the room was cramped, the Jinchai people simply moved tables and chairs and sat around in the courtyard. They each got their own pen and ink, and started thinking about composing poems.

Tanchun ordered the maid to go to the kitchen again, buy all kinds of fruits and plum peaches, and prepare two banquet tables. Tanchun only had two taels of silver a month, and he had to be rewarded from time to time. From time to time, he was exploited by Aunt Zhao. I finally saved some money, but now that I am gone, I feel extremely happy.

The feast lasted all day long and did not disperse until evening.

Xiangyun may have been aroused, so he made a fuss about making something in the next two days. Thinking that Baochai had acted appropriately, he followed Baochai to Hengwu Garden to ask for advice.

Let’s not mention this side for now.

It is said that Li Weijian had free time all day, and suddenly a servant of the palace came to invite him near the time of Shen, saying that it was King Zhongyong who invited him to a banquet.

Li Weijian was puzzled. He didn't know what kind of guest this young and shameless King Zhongyong had invited. I secretly wonder if it’s just a banquet without a good feast?

But since King Zhongyong invited him, he had to leave. So he hurriedly changed his clothes, rode his horse and went straight to the palace of Prince Zhongyong.

I just met him a few days ago, because Li Weijian completed the errands of the Military Academy very well, and he had been praised by King Zhongyong before. Unexpectedly, the Zhongyong King came to visit again, with a gloomy expression on his face, as if he could squeeze out water.

Li Weijian became more and more confused as to what kind of evil this Zhongyong King had committed... I guess it was because of this western expedition that Zhongyong King could only stay in the capital?
Because Li Weijian kept silent about the Western Expedition and only talked about anecdotes. When it came to the dinner party, except for King Zhongyong, only his second concubine Liu was sitting with him, and all the rest, like the palace officials, were not there.

It's just a family dinner with so much fanfare? Li Weijian was suspicious, and glanced at Concubine Liu secretly, thinking that it was probably Concubine Liu who had made the suggestion, and it was not what she was asking for.

Thinking about it, Concubine Liu Cizhen came from a scholarly family and her family lived in Liaodong. Could it be that she wanted to develop Liaodong? Liaodong is fine at the moment, but the rest of Northeast China is full of swamps and blisters, which can be regarded as the complete Great Northern Wilderness. If we want to turn it into the Great Northern Wilderness, it is estimated that it will not be possible to mobilize millions of people in just a few decades.

While she was thinking wildly, Concubine Liu suddenly mentioned the marriage between Li Weijian and Xiangyun, asked about Xiangyun's character in detail, and then smiled and praised her.

The loyal and brave king disagreed and said: "In my opinion, women who are talented are not very good. If they are big, they will harm their husbands, if they are small, they will punish themselves. Otherwise, they will have to suffer some hardships."

Liu Cifei's face suddenly stiffened and she said, "I don't know when I defeated the prince."

"This...ahem..." King Zhongyong quickly picked up the empty wine glass and pretended to drink.

With a cold snort, Mrs. Liu smiled and said to Li Weijian: "I think there are about five classes of women: one class speaks two words, does half the job, can't do good deeds, and can't do bad deeds. To have low qualifications is to be considered inferior;

There is also a group of people who say that they are going east and those in the west that are going to the west. When people say good things, he also says good things; when people say bad things, he also says bad things. It is normal to be careless and have no independent opinions;
There are not many people like those who are cautious, taciturn and smiley, who manage their homes well and do everything well;
It is better to talk and laugh, it is refreshing and beneficial, and you will be able to resolve big problems one day. It is better not to disdain people who say good things, and not to let people say bad things;
As for being generous, compromising in actions, and not paying much attention to words, the leaders of Zhufan work tirelessly, but they are the true nature of the head of the family. "

Li Weijian took it seriously and said hurriedly: "The second concubine is right."

I secretly thought to myself, this kind of... Well, there is no one around me, but it looks like Aunt Zhao?
Needless to say, the second-class person is like this. But at least because of myself, I now have some obsession with Yingchun;
Third-class... Fu Qiufang? Yes, pretty much the same.

This fourth class is similar to Sister Lin when you think about it? But there is something different.

The fifth level is the same. Although Xiangyun has some, it is not as good as Tanchun. Tsk, it's a pity that the third sister is born, otherwise she would be a perfect candidate for the big house.

At this moment, Concubine Liu Ci looked at Prince Zhongyong and said, "My lord, which rank do you think Meng Qing deserves?"

King Zhongyong hummed and said: "You have been looking after me all day long, but you want to ask me?"

Concubine Liu Cizhi smiled and said, "That's why it's hard for me to say. This is what the so-called queen sells her melons and brags about herself." After saying this, she covered her mouth and smiled, but her eyes were fixed on Li Weijian.

Li Weijian's heart trembled, what does this mean? No matter what he meant, Li Weijian didn't want to have anything to do with Princess Laoshizi. Li Mengqing was given the title Yongshou. It should be noted that in the Dashun Dynasty, all the people whose names began with the word Yongshou were princesses.

This means that when Li Mengqing gets married in the future, she will have to be given the title of princess... That would not be a marriage, but a wedding ceremony. Li Weijian, a well-fed and well-fed uncle, shouldn't he want to be Lao Shizi's guest of honor?

At the moment, he hesitated and covered up the past, and immediately talked to King Zhongyong about the Western Expedition. This was what King Zhongyong wanted. The two of them scolded Fang Qiu and started talking, but Liu Cifei was isolated and could no longer speak.

When night fell, King Zhongyong, who was so excited by Li Weijian's words, was drunk, and Li Weijian walked back to his home in a hurry.

When I arrived at the East Road Courtyard, I saw a concubine and two cousins ​​there, chatting about the poetry club. Li Weijian got inside and started talking again.

At the end of the day, Bao Qin took over the conversation and said: "Seeing how lively it is today, Sister Yun also became interested, and clamored to hold a show in the next two days. When I was leaving, I watched Sister Yun find my sister to discuss, I don’t know what regulations will be negotiated.”

Li Weijian smiled and agreed, then suddenly remembered that this time it was a crab feast? After thinking about it carefully, it is probably close to ten.

Now make up your mind and chat and laugh with the concubines. Fu Qiufang was overjoyed and left after a while. As soon as she left, sisters Li Wen and Li Qi also went.

The remaining concubines dispersed. Seeing Bao Qin leaving reluctantly, Li Weijian said to persuade her to stay: "Sister Qin, please stay for a while."

Hongyu Nahan looked at Baoqin, but heard Li Weijian say: "Hongyu is here too, I have something to tell you."

Hongyu and Baoqin stepped forward, and Baoqin raised her little face and said with a smile, "What are your orders from the fourth brother?"

Li Weijian smiled and said: "Simple——"

............................................................

Hengwuyuan.

Under the Xiangyun lamp, we discussed how to set up the topic.

Baochai listened to what she said for a long time, but it was not appropriate, because he said to her: "Now that we have opened a club, we have to be a proprietor. Although it is just a thing, we must look forward and backward, and we must benefit ourselves and not offend others. Then we can make everyone happy." Interesting. You have only been here a few months, but how many taels of money have you saved? Why bother spending it all now for such unimportant things?

Is it possible to go for this family? Or do you want it here? "

Xiangyun was reminded by something and he hesitated. Before coming to Jia's house, Xiangyun had only one or two per month in the Hou Mansion. She has never been a careful person. When the mood comes, she will give rewards or buy things, because she has not accumulated anything in these years.

When we arrived at the Grand View Garden, although we received a monthly salary of two taels like Sanchun and Daiyu, the Jia family's servants were notoriously wealthy, so the expenses were not less, but a lot more. Because she really doesn't have much savings at the moment.

Baochai looked at his expression and said: "I already have an idea about this. There is a man in our pawn shop who produces very good fat crabs in his field, and he sent a few kilograms to him. The people here now, from old to old Starting from my wife, most of the people in the garden also love to eat crabs.

The day before yesterday, my aunt also said that she would invite the old lady to enjoy the osmanthus flowers and eat crabs in the garden, but she hadn't invited her yet because she had something to do. For now, don’t mention the poetry club, just ask for it.

When they are gone, how many poems will we be unable to write? My brother and I said that if we wanted to bring some baskets of very fat and huge crabs, and bring some jars of good wine from the shop, and prepare four or five tables of fruit plates, wouldn't it save trouble and make everyone lively! "

After Xiangyun heard this, he was convinced and praised him for his thoughtfulness.

Baochai smiled again and said, "I mean what I said for you. Don't worry too much. Thinking that I underestimated you will be a waste for both of us. If you don't worry too much, I will ask them to do it." Go."

Xiangyun hurriedly smiled and said: "Good sister, if you say this, you should be more considerate of me. How can she be so stupid that she doesn't even know what is good or bad, and she is still a human being? If I don't treat my sister as my own sister, what will happen to me?" I won’t tell you the troublesome things even if I talk about my daily life.”

When Baochai heard about it, he called a woman over: "Go out and tell the uncle how many baskets of big crabs you will get the day before. Tomorrow, after dinner, please invite the old lady and aunt to enjoy the sweet-scented osmanthus. Tell me, uncle, don't forget it. I’ve already invited a servant.”

Later, they talked about drafting the topic, and Baochai offered suggestions. After some discussion, the two finally decided on a topic. After seeing the update, Xiangyun returned with satisfaction.

Yingxue stayed behind in Yihongyuan. When she saw Xiangyun and Cuixi returning, she said angrily, "How come Miss Bao and Miss Bao have been talking to each other for so long?"

Xiangyun praised: "Thankfully Sister Debao came up with the idea, otherwise I wouldn't know how to do things in the future."

Yingxue had already heard about Baochai's doings in the past few months, and immediately frowned and was wary, and asked hurriedly: "What good idea did the eldest lady ask for?"

"Hey -" Xiangyun immediately sat down and said leisurely, kicking his long legs, and made Baochai's idea clear. After saying that, Zhanyang said, "How about it? Is this a good idea, Sister Bao?"

"Is it good?" Yingxue didn't know whether this idea was good or bad because of her background and experience, so she just said: "It's so thoughtful, I guess it's a good idea?"

She couldn't make up her mind, so she thought she would have time to talk to the uncle in the east tomorrow.

Just then, I suddenly heard someone calling the door from outside. Cui Wei hurriedly went out to greet her. After a while, she led someone in and said, "Miss, look who's here?"

Xiangyun looked up and was immediately surprised: "Sister Qin, why are you here?"

Baoqin said, "I came here at the request of my fourth brother."

"what?"

Baoqin smiled and came closer, sat side by side with Xiangyun, and said: "Fourth brother heard that Sister Yun was going to host something, and he was afraid that Sister Yun didn't know how to organize it. Isn't that..." Baoqin took out a red envelope from his sleeve. , opened it and found a stack of banknotes inside: "This banknote was brought to me by the fourth brother. The fourth brother also said that there happened to be new deer, deer, elephants, Ganoderma lucidum and other things in the family. We will choose later. Let’s get some seafood and let Sister Yun throw a party to make it lively.”

"Huh?" Xiangyun blinked, feeling a little dazed with happiness. I wonder to myself, have I ever been so wealthy? Fourth Brother Jian...that's great!
