The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 102 Congratulations on Peach Blossom Island
On February [-]th, the Xing family waited early at the gate of Fangfei Garden. The wives from Fengwei Hutong were the first to come. They all knew that the Xing family had a adopted daughter, but few of them had seen her.All the wives only thought that Miss Xing's family was already a rare beauty. Who would have known that after seeing Lin Daiyu, there are people beyond people, and there is a sky beyond the sky.Shuangshu stood at the same place, delicate red and pale lotus root, like a pleasing picture scroll, it is hard to move your eyes.

When the carriages and horses from the Rongguo Mansion arrived, everyone inside, whether they knew them or not, surrounded them. The old lady in the front was wearing a dark purple crane shirt, with red gold double-shoulders on her head, and a Gold inlaid jadeite jade bracelet.She is more gorgeous than everyone else, so everyone knows that this is the old lady of the Jia family, so they hurriedly piled on top of each other, calling each old ancestor one by one, making them very affectionate.

Mother Jia likes excitement the most. Seeing this scene, before entering the garden, she was overjoyed and took Lu Shi's hand and nodded in praise.In the audience, Mrs. Yuan Keli's order is the highest. It just so happens that Mrs. Yuan and the Shi family are distant relatives. Jia's mother was even more pleased when she heard about it. After some questioning, it turned out that she and Mrs. Yuan's mother were still young Playmate, it's a pity that time has passed, and we have long since lost contact.

There were quite a few girls who came to see the world with their wives, seventeen or eighteen of them, including seven from the Jia family alone, not counting Jia Baoyu and Xue Baoqin, and even Mrs. Gong, who had just recovered from a serious illness, brought Zuo Mingfang with her. Come to spring.Most of these girls in the boudoir are innocent and kind. They were a little shy when they met the ladies of the Ningrong Second Mansion at first, but who was Shi Xiangyun? "Screaming non-stop.

Xiren and the two newly-accepted little girls were awkwardly squeezed among a group of young girls, which was indescribably awkward.

She only wanted to save Baoyu's face, so she put the precious gold jewelry on half of her head, but it didn't match the beautiful spring shirt on her body.After all, the clothes were made by Madam Wang for Tanchun. Tanchun always likes fresh looks, if she wears them instead, it will be good to just insert a magnolia and light emerald greens, it is fresh and elegant.Unexpectedly, when Xiren made such an appearance, it would be self-defeating.

The two young ladies of the Yuan family didn't know who the attacker was or how their daughter-in-law was dressed, but they mixed in with the girls, so they couldn't help asking Xiangyun curiously.

Xiangyun hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, "That's my second brother's aunt in Rongfu."

The faces of the two ladies turned cold immediately, and the eldest lady of the Yuan family said dissatisfiedly: "I only think that sister Xing is the smartest one in Fengwei Hutong, who knows that she is also so impetuous, how can I ask an aunt to follow us! No, I have to go Say something to Sister Xing."

Xiangyun hurriedly grabbed Miss Yuan's family, "My good sister, don't go. Xiren has served me since I was a child, and no one in our family dislikes her character. Although she is just an aunt, I have always regarded her as an aunt. She treats her like a sister, how can she be ashamed when you go like this? Even sister Xing Xing is hard to be a human being."

The eldest miss of the Yuan family looked at Shi Xiangyun with hatred: "Sister Yun, logically speaking, I shouldn't say this, but we hit it off right away, and I respect you as much as sister Xing. What is the name of the concubine you just mentioned? An attacker, no matter how good he is, is still a slave, if we let outsiders see us walking together, wouldn't it lower our value?"

The second miss of the Yuan family is a short, fat and cute little girl. After hearing what the elder sister said, she hurried over to find Xing Xiuyan.

Xiuyan didn't want to overwhelm the hostess today, so she only wore a spring shirt the color of purple lotus root, but she bathed with water milk all year round, and her skin was white and tender. With this dress, her lips became redder, her teeth whiter, her face plump and beautiful.She was greeting people, when she saw the second miss of the Yuan family running tremblingly, and quickly reached out to help her: "Aren't you clamoring for sour plum soup! I asked someone to make it a long time ago, and it's okay to keep the ones you sell on the street. drink."

The second miss of the Yuan family prefers this drink, but it's not a dog day, so Mrs. Yuan doesn't allow her to drink more.The little girl claimed that she and Sister Xing hit it off right away, so she pitifully begged her to make sour plum soup to eat with her.

"Sister Xing, let me tell you." The Second Miss Yuan Jia tried her best to stand on tiptoe, and whispered in Xing Xiuyan's ear, her big black agate-like eyes were sneaking a peek at Xiren in the distance.

Xing Xiuyan heard the inside story, and hurriedly dragged the little girl forward.Shi Xiangyun and Miss Yuan's family were standing on a single-girder arch bridge, the water below was glistening, and koi of various colors began to travel leisurely between the surface and the bottom of the water.Shi Xiangyun's face was red and his head was lowered. Seeing Xing Xiuyan approaching, he shouted "Sister Xing" for the first time!
Xiuyan patted Shi Xiangyun's hand, and then said to Miss Yuan's family: "My good sister, I was negligent. I originally asked someone to take that aunt to the back, but I forgot. Fortunately, you helped me I took care not to lose my sense of proportion in front of the wives."

Miss Yuan's complexion softened a little, and she fixed her gaze on Shi Xiangyun: "Sister Yun, I can tell when I look at you that you are soft-hearted, but don't let someone take advantage of you." After speaking, she dragged her to the front Round with everyone.

Shi Xiangyun tore the snow handkerchief in his hand aggrievedly, "I still think that Sister Yuan is different from others. I also value these masters and slaves. They are all born by parents, but their backgrounds are not good. But Sister Xing, look at Xiren." Whether it's my sister, or Xiangling from Sister Bao's house, if you see someone who doesn't know it, which one shouldn't be treated as a serious grandma?"

Xiuyan said in a deep voice: "Sister Yun's nonsense can be shared with the sisters at home, but don't let outsiders hear it."

Shi Xiangyun raised his head unconvinced, Xiuyan said coldly: "It's also my fault for being confused, I should have asked Meilian, Meiying and the others to take Xiren to drink, and they wouldn't make such a joke. Sister Yun, if you become After getting married, on the first day when you met your relatives, your sisters-in-law asked a few aunts to sit on the right seats, how did you feel?"

"How can it be the same?"

Seeing that Shi Xiangyun was obsessed with obsession, Xiuyan didn't bother to explain anymore, she just said casually: "All the wives and ladies present here don't hate being aunts. Sister Yun, please be careful with what you say." Turning around, she stretched out her hand and called Meilian to give her instructions in a low voice.

Fangfei Garden is adjacent to Xiangshan Mountain, and the distant mountain is a piece of fresh green, with lush vegetation in the garden.There is a lake in the middle, which draws running water from Xiangshan Mountain, and the sweet spring is continuous all year round.This lake is in the shape of a birthday peach, and the Hou Mansion put a lot of effort into building the other courtyard. Who would have thought that the Hou Ye would fail in the court later on, if the courtyard hadn't benefited a lot every year, it might have declined long ago.

There are women who are punting boats in the lake. Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Jia, Mrs. Yuan and other wives used a big painting boat, and the girls took one.There were also decent girls and daughters-in-law who accompanied them on several smaller black-covered boats, which were naturally packed to the brim.

The lake is also deep, but the boat is stable. Everyone said that Miss Lin's birthday was well organized.

Xiuyan smiled and spat: "You guys are so embarrassed to say that you didn't even have a banquet, so you just applaud. If we entertain you with simple tea and light meals at home, let's see how you can make up for it."

The little girls were all grinning, refuting Xiuyan's joke with a single glance.

Not long after, there was a small island in front of it, and the island was clustered with peach blossoms. Looking from a distance, it looked like a cloud of steaming clouds.Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help yearning for it.

Daiyu murmured: "The peach calyx is in full bloom, and it is at the beginning of spring. The steaming glow is shining and the brocade is fascinated, and the branches are slanting out to the Qumao. Luan's makeup is late."

Everyone came back to their senses, savored Daiyu's words carefully, and unknowingly drank together, and looked at Daiyu with a little more praise and appreciation in their eyes.

Miss Yuan's family has always been quite noble, and she doesn't talk to anyone except those she likes.Just now she was still making out with Shi Xiangyun, but who knows what happened, the eldest miss of the Yuan family abandoned Xiangyun, moved to Daiyu's side, and had a heated discussion with the rest of the girls who are good at poetry.Among them, Baochai and Tanchun were the only ones who were able to intervene, and the rest were a little dull watching the ripples of the water.

The island was already greeted by someone, and the grandmas sat in the oil sedan chair, followed by the girls, and went to the Chunfang Pavilion on the island together.Across several peach trees, there is another green water pavilion with a high ridge. The clear water pavilion is connected to a promenade, and at the end is a small pier on the island.

At that moment, everyone entered the Chunfang Pavilion, and saw two bamboo tables placed outside the railing, one with cups and seal wine utensils on it, and the other with tea whisks and tea utensils and other colorful dishes.Over there, there are two or three maids fanning the stove to make tea, and there are also a few well-dressed little maids warming wine here.

Mother Jia smiled and nodded: "This place is well chosen, and the things are clean. It's rare that there is a big tree behind the pavilion, with towering ancient trees. We feel comfortable after seeing it."

Lu quickly pointed to Daiyu: "It's all because of Miss Lin's busy schedule."

Mother Jia was even more pleased when she heard this, and some of them wanted to flatter the concubine Yuan's natal family, so she hurriedly said something flattering.As soon as everyone was seated, Daiyu came to pour tea for Jia Mu in person. The old lady looked sideways at her granddaughter, whom she had not seen for several days, feeling doubly emotional in her heart.

Could it be that the Xing family is really a supporter of water and soil?
In this month of previous years, Yan'er would either sleep lazily in the room, or be sick and constantly take medicine.Which birthday has stopped once?But look at it now, her little face is pink, she has grown flesh, and her cough has stopped.

People's hearts are biased. Thinking of this, Mother Jia naturally gave Mrs. Wang an unhappy look.

Mrs. Wang was slow, and she offended her mother-in-law for some reason. During this time, other wives also looked back and forth suspiciously at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, which made Mrs. Wang even more embarrassed, feeling like she was sitting on pins and needles.

The pear blossoms in front of each person are a few short, and the Xing family invited the well-known Deyuelou master chef in the capital to cook, and the taste suits the appetites of the ladies.A small plate and a small bowl are placed on the table, and everyone is drinking for themselves, which is very interesting.A stage was temporarily set up outside the Chunfang Pavilion, and this time the Xing family didn't invite any famous actors, because considering that they were all female customers, they found two female opera troupes.

The little girl is impatient to see this, Xiuyan has already led them to set up tables in Bishui Pavilion, three big round tables.Everyone sat in one place, and even the girls who were not familiar with each other on weekdays whispered constantly after they became neighbors.

"Although it's to pay homage to Sister Lin's birthday, it's no fun just sitting around." Tan Chun laughed, "If you don't write poems in this situation, wouldn't you be let down?"

Everyone clapped their hands in approval, Xiuyan nodded to Daiyu, Daiyu understood, stood up and said with a smile: "I thought of this a long time ago, so I prepared the lottery first, and the winner will naturally be rewarded."

Everyone was busy looking around curiously, they all had the temperament of children, even if their family background was not bad, but it was a rare honor to win the top spot in front of more than a dozen of their peers. There are only advantages and no disadvantages.
