【New Red Mansion】Perfect World

Li Shuirong received a call and said he was going out to pick up the chef. Lin Pin'er quickly invited the two elders into the house, looked around, praised everything, and then sat down at the tea table.

Miaoyu took out two cups from a clean tea tray beside her, one was a crimson teacup in the shape of chrysanthemum petals, and the other was a square eggplant purple teacup. She handed each to the two elderly people and poured tea until the cups were seven-tenths full.

"Please have some tea." Su Miaoyu said politely.

Pin'er and Wu Qing each brought a plate of fruit and sat down on either side of Miaoyu: a plate of grapes and a plate of chopped honeydew.

Lin Pin'er hurriedly introduced them to each other.

"So you are all classmates from the same school. That's great! You are all beautiful. Being with you kids, we can also feel the breath of youth."

Old Madam Li sat on the sofa opposite and looked at the three girls. They were very similar in some way, as if they were incompatible with this world, yet trying hard to blend in.

Pin'er is the kind of girl who has all the good qualities in one, gentle, smart, and has a great temperament. Miaoyu next to her has a similar look to her, but is more rebellious and not as well-behaved as Pin'er. Wu Qing is like her shadow a little further away, similar only in appearance.

As they were drinking tea and chatting, Xiangyun walked in. Cuilu followed behind her, pulling two suitcases on the left and right. Xiangyun was holding a handbag in each hand.

"Come and help me!" The voice arrived before the person arrived.

Zijuan and Xueyan hurried over to take the bag from her hand.

Pin'er came over and joked, "You're late, how should I punish you?"

"There was a traffic jam on the road, and I went to Baoyu to give him a gift first, so I came here later."

Then he turned to Zijuan and said, "There is red wine in that bag, be careful not to bump it. There is a red wine glass in that bag, wash it and wipe it out, we are going to drink some wine tonight.

The kitchen was already crowded enough at this time, and Xiangyun couldn't squeeze in, so she had to give orders from outside, not considering herself an outsider at all.

"I'll let Cuilu help you carry your luggage up first."

"Okay, I want to see my bedroom right away."

So Pin'er took her to see the places again, and by the way, they also got to know Old Madam Li and Professor Yue.

Going up to Xiangyun's bedroom on the second floor, although Xiangyun was satisfied, she still had to make a few teasing remarks.

"Brother Shui Rong is biased. He designed your bedroom so well, even the photos have lighting to match, and the swan bed looks so princess-like and romantic. Look at mine, although they are all top-notch, they lack personality after all."

Pin'er hurriedly helped Shui Rong explain, "We designed it this way on purpose. The basic facilities are ready, and you can decorate and arrange the rest by yourself. We're mainly worried that you won't like what we've arranged, and it will be even more troublesome to tear it down later. Just add whatever you like. They'll come in to install the basement in a few days and help you with it."

Xiangyun nodded in satisfaction after hearing this, and then she started to plan in the basement: "How about making a game room in the basement where we can play script-killing games, sing songs, and play cards?"

"Okay, then tell Shui Rong your plan and let him design it." Just as he said that, there was a commotion downstairs, and little Xueyan shouted again:

"Ms. Lin, come and see! What a big and beautiful parrot."

When Lin Pin'er heard the parrot, her eyes lit up immediately and she hurried downstairs.

At this time, everyone gathered in the corridor beside the lounge chair. Shui Rong was holding a very large purple-blue parrot in his hand. The parrot had smooth and lustrous feathers and was purple-blue in color, with only a little yellow around its eyes and mouth. It held its head high with an excellent posture, and looked very proud as it listened to everyone's praise.

Lin Pin'er slowly approached, admiring the big parrot with joy. Shui Rong held a golden stand in his right hand, looked at Pin'er and said, "Do you like it?"

"I like it." There was a gleam in Pin'er's eyes, and she tentatively reached out to touch its head.

Shui Rong said to the big parrot, "Your master is here."

"Master." said the parrot.

"Her name is Pin'er." Shui Rong taught again.

"Pin'er, Pin'er!" the parrot imitated.

Shui Rong turned around and waved his arms towards the bamboo forest. The big parrot spread its wings and flew high in an instant. It first flew low over the bamboo forest, then turned around twice and drew a perfect arc before turning around and flying back.

"This is just a trained parrot. I just got its domestication certificate yesterday. I gave it to you not just for fun, but because I hope you can fly freely with it. Of course, you still need to teach it to recite poems." Shui Rong said seriously.

Pin'er nodded in surprise. She used to keep a parrot because she was too lonely, but now the meaning of this has gone a step further. If it can fly and remember to come back, it will be a combination of a swallow and a parrot. She can have the happiness of keeping two pets at once.

"Then give it a name! It also hopes to have a name given by its owner." Shui Rong said with anticipation.

Lin Pin'er silently said in her heart: I hope it can spread its wings and fly high, and naturally I also hope it will take care of its feathers, especially since it is so beautiful.

"Let's call it Lianyu! I hope it can take care of its feathers and be healthy and happy!" Pin'er said softly.

Everyone chanted "Lian Yu."

"This is a very good name, pity feathers." Shui Rong said, and then said to the parrot: "From now on, you will be called Lianyu, the name Pin'er gave you. Do you remember it?"

"Lianyu, Lianyu." The parrot imitated.

Shui Rong then explained to the snow geese how to use the standing rack, how to feed them, and how to clean.

Just as he finished speaking, Zijuan came out and asked everyone to go in for lunch. Shui Rong then fastened the anklet for Lianyu and followed Pin'er back to the restaurant.

After you are seated, the dishes are served.

Blossoming shrimps (symbolizing continuous promotion), fish balls stuffed with lilies (symbolizing harmony and happiness), fried chicken in casserole with old ginger (symbolizing good luck), stewed tofu with Chinese cabbage (symbolizing good fortune), braised carp (symbolizing abundance every year, as if possessed by a koi), four-happiness seafood pot (symbolizing smooth sailing), golden fish maw chicken soup (symbolizing gold all over the ground), abalone in thick sauce (symbolizing wealth and fortune), braised lobster (symbolizing prosperity), plus a small bowl of glutinous rice balls for each person (symbolizing reunion).

After everyone raised their glasses, Lin Pin'er spoke gracefully:

"Dear friends and relatives, I am very happy today! It is because of your coming. Thank you all. It is because of your support and care in the past days that we are able to gather together today. So I want to thank you especially, and I would also like to send my best wishes here. I wish you all good health, all the best, and a happy family! Thank you!" After saying this, everyone settled down and started today's housewarming party. The time was exactly 12.18:, an auspicious time and everything went smoothly.
