Jia Baoyu from the Red Chamber

spnChapter 75 Poinsettia

The three of them finished their discussion, but it was getting late, Xiren outside had already had a meal prepared, and the three of them went out to eat together. Seeing the wine on the table, Jia Baoyu suddenly remembered that the wine had not been delivered yet, so he asked Xi The man brings the wine.

It is not surprising that Baochai heard Jia Baoyu say it the day before yesterday, but Daiyu didn't know when Jia Baoyu bought the wine, but she also knew that Jia Baoyu bought it for herself, and the original dissatisfaction in her heart was thrown into the sky. up.

Jia Baoyu hadn't seen this wine in the past few days, and only now did he see the real face. Although the wine bottle was made of glass, according to the drinking habits of people at that time, it was worth the same style as the jug for liquor. , so the amount of natural loading is about the same.

Jia Baoyu thought it would be imported from the West, but unexpectedly it was a genuine domestic product with a name on it, a little red, probably because it was red, but it was quite interesting. [

Xiren lifted the seal, poured a glass for each of the three and put away the wine, saying: "One can only drink one glass, otherwise it will be difficult for the wife to ask."

Jia Baoyu didn't object either, this red wine wasn't Jia Baoyu's favorite thing at all, but he bought it just to let Daiyu drink it, and a small cup was enough, enough to taste, but the rest of Jia Baoyu's Someone should send it to Daiyu.

The three of them ate some food, Jia Baoyu picked up the wine glass without offering a respect to Baochai, and the two of them drank it by themselves, but Jia Baoyu frowned slightly after drinking the wine, because Jia Baoyu had nothing but A little bit of bitterness is no different from white wine, so it will not be popular anymore.

"What's going on here? This wine has been spread to China since the Tang Dynasty. How can it be wine with such a taste?" Jia Baoyu was puzzled but didn't say anything.

But Jia Baoyu frowned slightly. Baochai and Daiyu saw it clearly, and they both asked, "What's wrong?"

Jia Baoyu couldn't say that the taste of this wine was different from his own, so he just said: "It's nothing, I just don't like drinking it."

The two of them took a sip after hearing this, and they both frowned, as it was really not good to drink, Dai Yuyin said: "This drink is not as good as medicine, no matter how good it is for the body, I don't want it. "It is not necessary for Daiyu to say this. Authentic red wine can naturally heal the body, but Jia Baoyu is not sure that this red wine is useful. If it makes it the opposite, it will be fine. But if there is any possibility that Jia Baoyu can't let Daiyu drink .

After Baochai frowned, she was puzzled and said, "This is also different from the ones I drink, so why?"

Jia Baoyu became interested after hearing this, and immediately asked, "Have you ever had any other flavors, Sister Bao?"

Baochai nodded and said: "It seems that I drank it, but I was still young at that time and I don't remember it very clearly."

"Let's listen to Sister Bao."

Although Baochai was puzzled, she still said it. After thinking for a while, she said, "The bitter taste is similar, but the others are different. Other... other... Come to think of it, that bottle is also the same as this one. It’s different, it seems to be densely packed with some characters I don’t know, and I heard that it seems to be brought by people from Dashi Kingdom or other places.”

"The Kingdom of Great Food." Jia Baoyu wondered for a moment. Is the Kingdom of Great Food still called the Kingdom of Great Food?Jia Baoyu is not clear about this kind of thing, because it must belong to foreign history, Jia Baoyu can only remember a few important fragments, and how can he remember such things if he does not study literary history.

But those are not the main points, Jia Baoyu didn't think about it, so he didn't care, and asked again: "Do you still have those wine sisters at home?"

Baochai shook her head and said, "If it hasn't been touched, it is possible to find it, but now I don't know how many bottles and jars have been lost. Those are not important things, who will keep them, but they have long since disappeared. Yes, if I could find some in the past few years, but because of the war, there are very few foreign envoys in my court these years. Even if there are, they will not bring such a slightly cumbersome thing. arrive."

Jia Baoyu was disappointed when he heard this. If it came from the Westerners, it would be authentic, which would definitely be good for Daiyu, but it was obvious that Jia Baoyu had no chance.

Thinking of this, Jia Baoyu felt a little unwilling. The method he finally came up with died before he actually started to implement it. This is what Jia Baoyu didn't want to see.

There must be a remedy, but Jia Baoyu focused his eyes on the little red put away by the attacker, thinking that he must go to the wine-making workshop to take a look, so it is impossible to say Find out what the problem is.

Having made up her mind, Jia Baoyu was not in a hurry, she just waited for when she would be free before doing this matter, but the three of them didn't drink after that, neither did Daiyu and Baochai drink the little wine left in their cups. [

After dinner, Daiyu and Baochai sat for another hour and left together. Jia Baoyu, who was so bored, practiced internal energy, read, and wrote, and didn't get out of bed all afternoon. They feed people well, and they are not shy, but feel uncomfortable.

It took another five days for Jia Baoyu to be released from the final imprisonment. Since then, he followed Jia Baoyu himself wherever he went. Jia Baoyu couldn't let himself be inactive in the entire Jia Mansion.

Therefore, Jia Baoyu decided to go to school after that. Jia Baoyu had heard that Jia Dai's Confucian knowledge was also extremely profound, so he wanted to see if he could benefit there, so he sent someone to inform Qin as soon as he was liberated. Zhong Ming asked him to come here so that he could show him to Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang.

The next day when Jia Baoyu just woke up, it was the time of day, neither early nor late, but after exercising and washing up before eating, someone replied: "Master Xiaorong brought Qin Zhong to worship over there."

After hearing this, Jia Baoyu didn't care about having breakfast, and hurriedly picked up Qin Zhong. This was not because Jia Baoyu cared about Qin Zhong so much, but because of basic etiquette. But Qin Zhong was obviously not, and Jia Baoyu even regarded Qin Zhong as his brother-in-law because of Qin Keqing, so naturally he couldn't be neglected.

Jia Baoyu happily accepted Qin Zhong, but turned a blind eye to Jia Rong. Jia Baoyu's move made Jia Rong very depressed. She didn't know how she offended Jia Baoyu, but thinking about it, Jia Baoyu has always had a bad temper. When he was angry or something, he just thought it was Jia Baoyu who had lost his temper again.

Jia Baoyu asked Qin Zhong if he could eat, and the result he got was that he woke up early in the morning because he was late and neglected the meal, so he didn't care about the meal. This was exactly what Jia Baoyu wanted. Go to your own yard, let someone serve breakfast, and the two of them ate together.

This Qin Zhong's appetite was similar to the original Jia Baoyu's, or even not as good. No wonder he later died of a serious illness because of grief and regret. If he ate like this, his body would not be healthy. Jia Baoyu didn't persuade him. Because he knew that Qin Zhong could only eat so much, any more would be to force others.

After eating, Jia Baoyu was not in a hurry, but asked Xiren and the others to dress up for themselves. If it was only him, it would be fine. Now that he has Qin Zhong and Jia Baoyu, he can't dress up hastily. But Jia Baoyu didn't want the two of them to stand together and fall behind.

Therefore, those items that Jia Baoyu hadn't worn for many days, were all found out by Jia Baoyu this time and let Xiren and the others put them on for herself, until Jia Baoyu felt that he was firmly pressing Qin Zhong's head.

Qin Zhong didn't know what Jia Baoyu was thinking, and when he saw Jia Baoyu's attire, he was only envious, so Jia Baoyu immediately led Qin Zhong to meet Jia's mother.

This is something Jia Baoyu asked Xiren to talk about yesterday, lest Jia's mother was unprepared. When Qin Zhong saw Jia's mother, he was very restrained, and his demeanor was more girlish than usual.

Under Jia's mother's careful watch, he actually showed shyness, which made Jia Baoyu shake his head. If Jia Zheng saw it, he would feel displeased, but Jia's mother would not, Qin Zhong described Peugeot, gentle demeanor just suits Mother Jia's mind. In Mother Jia's opinion, only such a handsome person is worthy of studying with Jia Baoyu, so she likes it very much. After talking about staying here for dinner, she asked Qin Zhong to visit Mrs. Wang first. went.

Jia Baoyu also accompanied him there. To Mrs. Wang, Qin Zhong's appearance and behavior are not important, as long as there are no bad things, Mrs. Wang will follow Jia Baoyu, so most of the time there is spent on Jia Baoyu. Asking about the cold and the warmth, asking if it still hurts these few days, what have you done, what do you want to add, and so on.

Knowing that Jia Mu stayed for dinner, they didn't stay for too long, so they let them go to Jia Mu's place again, because all the daughters-in-law liked Qin Keqing, and when Qin Zhong came, no matter whether they were polite or sincere They came to visit for a while, each prepared a gift, and left it to Qin Zhong after the visit, and then left happily.

After lunch, the two of them stayed with Jiamu for a while. Although Jiamu couldn't sleep because she was a little tired, she didn't want to talk any more. She gave Qin Zhong a purse and a gold star and told him, "You The family lives far away, or it is inconvenient to be hot and cold for a while, just stay here with us. Just stay with your second uncle Bao, and don't learn from those things that don't make progress." Qin Zhong agreed one by one.

Jia Baoyu was unwilling to hear this, but he didn't say anything. Anyway, whether it was hot or cold and inconvenient where Qin Zhong slept later on, wouldn't it be up to him?

Leaving Jia's mother's yard, Qin Zhong wanted to go home and tell his father that he had to go back first. Jia Baoyu was so happy that he naturally had no reason to refuse, so he asked Qin Zhong to go back first.
