The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 53
(The second update is here~~Xiaohe begs for a genuine subscription, hehe)

Ping'er saw Jia Baoyu standing at the door of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion shyly, not daring to go in, so he walked over with a smile: "Second master is here to see Miss Lin? Why don't you go in and sit?"

Jia Baoyu was secretly going in, when someone called his name, he was taken aback, seeing Ping'er again, he booed: "Sister Ping'er, please be quiet, I went to the prince of Beijing yesterday, and I didn't Seeing the Xing family's aunt, sister Lin is mad at me!"

Seeing Jia Baoyu's careful look, Ping'er smiled and said, "Miss Lin is not that kind of person, who did you hear that from?"

Jia Baoyu looked at Ping'er blankly: "Sister Lin is not angry with me? But what about Xiren?" Jia Baoyu suddenly stopped talking, and said with a grin: "No, it's nothing."

Ping'er smiled but said nothing. Baoyu saw that the woman behind Ping'er was holding a bundle of papers, which were thickly stacked. At a glance, they were clothes or something. Besides, Sister Lin’s birthday didn’t come yet.” Jia Baoyu stretched out his hand to lift the fur, saw that the top was a gorilla felt, and said with a smile, “Why am I so confused, Sister Lin’s cloak was made the year before last. It should be replaced with a new one.”

Ping'er couldn't help laughing, and smiled coquettishly: "You really have spent a lot of time on Miss Lin, but this one is not for Miss Lin. The second grandma said that all the girls will give it in time for the next year. One is to go out and buy a bill for Miss Xing."

Jia Baoyu looked sleepy, and withdrew his hand: "So it was for her. Oops, I just remembered that my third sister was going to discuss the poetry club with me. Why did I forget, Ping'er?" Sister, when you saw Sister Lin say hello to me, you said I would go to Qiushuangzhai first."

Fearing that there might be some vicious dog chasing him, Jia Baoyu stalked and called him fast, and Ping'er called him several times as if he didn't hear him.

Zijuan had just served Daiyu to comb her hair, and was leaving the house to send someone to cook bird's nest porridge for the girl, when she heard Ping'er shouting, she hurriedly chased her out and looked around: "Is it Baoyu?"

Ping'er smiled helplessly: "It's not this master? As soon as Miss Xing's name was mentioned, she ran away as if she had been hit by a stick."

Zijuan was thoughtful, but a smile soon appeared on his face again, "What are you doing here so early in the morning? Our girl is still talking to Miss Xing, and I will go and play with Miss Qiao later."

Ping'er told Zijuan about Wang Xifeng's gift of clothes, and Zijuan thought over and over again: "Miss Xing is worrying about this matter. Our girl is too thin. Although she has new clothes, they don't fit after all. They are too plump, and Miss Yun and Miss Qin's clothes are a little shorter, if you want to go, only the eldest girl of the Li family can borrow some."

Ping'er's expression changed, and he hurriedly asked, "Have you sent someone to borrow it?"

"Not yet, the two sisters in the room are talking about this!" Zijuan looked at Ping'er curiously, "Why, what's wrong?"

With her mother-in-law behind her back, Ping'er pulled Zijuan aside and said, "It's a good thing you didn't go. Our grandma saw that the two young ladies of the Li family were wearing plain clothes, so she specially made four sets of festive new clothes and sent them over. Unexpectedly, the Li family returned them all intact. If you go to borrow clothes now, Aunt Li might feel embarrassed by taking out the old clothes."

Zijuan was stunned, and pointed to the bundles held by the women: "The ones inside are not the ones for the two young ladies of the Li family!"

Ping'er spat: "I can still do such a foolish thing? Don't worry, I sent someone to the garment department to buy it last night."

Zijuan and Heping'er walked into the Xiaoxiang Pavilion with arm in arm and a smile, Xiuyan knew that she was ordering by Wang Xifeng to deliver the clothes, so she hurriedly got up and took it: "Thank your grandma for me, it's hard for her to be thoughtful."

Ping'er shook off the orangutan felt snow jacket, and the light immediately shone brightly, showing Xiuyan and Daiyu's little faces rosy and lovely.Ping'er smiled and said: "Grandma is worried that it will snow soon. Although this is not as good as the girl's homely wear, it is a little bit of our heart. By the way, I just heard from Zijuan that the girl has not eaten bird's nest porridge when she got up early. Can the ones that came here be used up? If not, just send a little girl to get them from us."

Daiyu hurriedly said, "There's still a lot left. If it's not enough, I'll ask Zijuan to get it." Seeing that nothing happened, Ping'er got up and said goodbye.

As soon as she left, Xiuyan was not in a hurry to change her clothes, she just asked Daiyu, "I was about to ask, our family often asks Lian's second cousin to send you the official swallow, did you receive it?"

Daiyu smiled wryly when she heard the words: "I received it, but I received it. Just because of this bird's nest, many troubles happened at home. Every time my sister asked me, I was ashamed to say it."

It turned out that the Xing family couldn't take care of Daiyu in the open, so they asked Jia Lian to bring some things from time to time.But Jia Lian was a man, so he couldn't go into the garden frequently, so he asked Wang Xifeng to hand over the things.Unexpectedly, after giving them away several times, they were bumped into by Mrs. Xing. Mrs. Xing ran to Wang Xifeng's yard and tossed about for a while, scolding Jia Lian and his wife for being devoid of conscience. .

Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian were angry and annoyed. After Lin Daiyu heard about this, she sent back the ones that Lin Daiyu sent later, saying that there were still some in the house, and sent them all back.

Xing Xiuyan's face was so gloomy that he was able to wring out water, Daiyu was annoyed that she was quick to speak, and hurriedly said: "Sister Bao knows that I eat bird's nest, and she sent a lot of it in private. It's not the case now, sister just don't worry."

Xiuyan said bitterly: "We didn't take advantage of Jia's family. Those are the high-quality swallows I found in the south. Why can't I eat them? My aunt has more success than failure! Zijuan, what do you want?" Bring the bird's nest that Miss Bao gave to my younger sister, and what's more, is there any foreign sugar that goes with it? Bring it together."

Zijuan agreed to go, and after a while, she brought in a small bag: "Miss Xing, they are all here, one is bird's nest, and the other is clean powder plum slice snowflake foreign sugar."

Xiuyan picked up one of the pieces, looking at it first and then listening to it, with the air of a connoisseur in her gestures.It provoked Daiyu to laugh at the side: "Does my sister still know how to distinguish this?"

Meilian couldn't hold back her quick mouth, and hastened to say: "Miss knows a lot. Last year, the old ship lord bought a batch of blood swallows. Who knew it looked good, but tasted terrible. That's a good deal." There is a lot of money, the old man was in a hurry, and we girls were the ones to figure it out. It turns out that the Western bird's nest is made differently from ours, and there is no need to foam it. The girl only made it once by herself, and the ship king's Even if the illness is cured, we will praise our girl as a lucky star!"

Xiuyan laughed angrily: "Nothing can stop your mouth!" Meilian sticks out her little tongue, smiling and helping Zijuan take the bird's nest package.

"Miss Bao's gift is pretty good, so you can eat it with confidence. Now that we're in the capital, we don't need Brother Lian to handle it. Miss Bao will send someone to deliver it. You just say that the doctor told you that your anger has been high recently, so you should eat less of these things. Miss Bao is so smart, so she naturally knows what it means." Xiuyan didn't treat a gentleman with a villain's heart, but the original book described Daiyu's illness too horribly, but now she looks at Sister Lin, although she is delicate It is weaker, but it will not die, Xiuyan can't help but suspect that someone is playing tricks on Daiyu's food.

"From now on, don't eat the things that other people send alone, especially the medicine that the second wife sends, what Tanchun and his sisters use, you just follow along."

Daiyu never pays attention to these small things, and when she first heard what Sister Xing said, she hurriedly asked, "Did Sister notice something?"

Xiuyan knew that Daiyu had many hearts, so she just smiled and said, "No, but be careful when sailing for thousands of years, it's never bad to be cautious."

Not long after, the old lady passed the meal. Xiuyan was wearing the sky-blue rose-patterned gold jacket sent by Wang Xifeng, and stepped on gold-pinned cloud-red fragrant sheepskin boots, covered with the gorilla felt and Daiyu to go to Jiamu. Going to the main room, I saw Xue Baochai and sisters coming from a distance, all wearing red clothes. The four of them greeted each other and left the Grand View Garden like their own sisters.

Jiamu's upper room is spacious and warm. The four sisters entered the door together. Jiamu was almost dazzled and laughed again and again: "There are a few young ladies who stand up and no one will believe that they are real sisters. Good boy, Is it cold outside? Come and sit here." Mother Jia first shook Baoqin's hand, and seeing Baoqin's small hands were icy cold, she was surprised and said, "Oh, why don't you wear more thick clothes before going out of the garden? So is Baogirl , Girl Qin is young, you, a sister, should persuade her."

Xiuyan and Daiyu saw that Baochai had suffered an innocent disaster, and stood there in embarrassment.Xiuyan pulled Baochai to sit beside her, Baochai's eyes were sore, and she didn't dare to thank her in front of Jia's mother.

Xue Baoqin put her arms around Jiamu's arm with a smile and said: "Ancestor Xie loves me, but my sister got up early and saw that the sky was gloomy, and she has already found her snow jacket for me. I am not cold at all."

Mother Jia sighed in her heart, "Yuanyang, find out the fur coat from yesterday and give it to Miss Qin. Children don't know how to take care of themselves. It's a good thing to see snow, and you will regret it when you get old. Your mother is not around, so I can't help it." This old lady thinks for you."

Yuanyang took a peek at Miss Lin's face, and she was really gloomy, but she was just Jia Mu's girl, and there were some things that she couldn't talk about, so Yuanyang could only turn around and go to fetch Maodiqiu.

Xue Baoqin rolled in Jiamu's arms coquettishly, and Baochai called Daiyu in a low voice, "Sister Lin" as she moved a little further away from Jiamu.

Daiyu smiled back, "Sister Bao, have tea!"

Xue Baochai pulled the corner of her mouth helplessly, took the tea bowl from Daiyu, and tasted it carefully.Everyone waited for half a stick of incense, and when Jia Mu saw that no one came again, she ordered: "Set the meal, maybe the second wife asked them to come over for dinner."

For a while, the maids were obsessed with dust whisks, rinsing bowls, towels, etc., mandarin ducks were serving dishes beside Jia Mu, and although there were many daughters-in-law and maids passing food outside, they didn't even hear a cough.Xiuyan nodded secretly, it really is a second-class wealthy family in the capital, second only to the Wangfu county.

Ham and fresh bamboo shoot soup, goose palm duck letter, wine steamed duck, pipa prawns, sesame oil meal paste diced meat. There is a whole table.Xiuyan is also very particular about food and clothing at home, but it is not exaggerated to the point of Jia's, it is just breakfast, so it needs to be so exaggerated!

Just when Mother Jia was about to greet Xiuyan for dinner, she heard laughter outside. The old lady looked happy and said angrily, "These hozens must have smelled the fragrance of my vegetables, otherwise they wouldn't come."

Before Jia Baoyu came in, his voice had already entered the room: "Old ancestor, grandson is very hungry!"
