[Comprehensive Red House] Infinite Merit

After staying in Xifu for half a day, Mother Jia kept lunch again. Seeing that it was getting late, she let her go.

Passing through the Hanging Flower Gate, the sight is broad and clear, and you can see all the affairs in the atrium at a glance. You Yijian set up a small air stove under the corridor, and there is some kind of sugar water rolling on it. Pinellia is watching closely there, and then Laughed: "Why did you move your dick thing here?"

Ban Xia hurriedly got up to say hello, then walked two steps east, and made a thick cotton curtain of lake blue silk embroidered with rose flowers for You Yi, and invited her into the east ear room, Zhen Zhen's nanny also hugged Zhen Zhen and walked quickly Go to the room where Zhen Zhen is resting in Ningde Hall.

The weather in late autumn was fine in previous years, but this year it was unbearably cold.A stove of hot charcoal fire has been set up in the east ear room, and a warm kang is also burned, so that you can soak up the chill all over your body when you enter the room.

As soon as he entered the room, the fragrance of the heating system rushed towards his face, and Youyi let out a contented sigh. While undoing his cloak, he said casually: "It's cold this year, remember to ask the buyers in the house to prepare more charcoal. This is up and down. People in the next mansion, how can they spend the winter without charcoal fire?"

Bai Zhi agreed, and Pinellia came in quickly, with a small tea tray lacquered and carved with plum patterns in her hand, and a set of sweet white porcelain tea tureen and a small porcelain spoon were placed on it.She went to the kang table for Youyi, and when the lid was lifted, hot mist came out.Youyi glanced at it casually, and saw all kinds of food rolled in the yellowish sugar water, and some of them couldn't tell the difference. Just smelling the sweet aroma, she knew it wasn't some tonic soup. She said: "It's cold today, everyone is ginger. Soup and black tea are prepared, why do you prepare sweet soup?"

Even though he said so, the smile on the corners of his eyes and brows could not deceive anyone, Ban Xia smiled and said: "You are having a banquet in the West Mansion today, and there are a lot of fish and meat over there. I think you must not be used to it. I have prepared this soup to relieve your tiredness and fill your stomach."

As she said that, she brought a red lacquer snack box from the side and opened it to reveal two snacks inside. She smiled and said, "The freshly steamed lotus root flour sweet-scented osmanthus cake and the fried lotus root clip. It's cold this year, and this lotus root is also delicious There are too many, although I bought a lot of lotus root powder for preparation, but after all, fresh lotus root tastes delicious."

Youyi smiled and nodded, picked up the soup with the spoon again, then raised her eyebrows slightly, and asked, "What did you put?"

Pinellia smiled and replied: "Tremella, snow swallow, peach gum, lotus seeds and lotus leaf powder harvested in summer, plus wolfberry, red dates, osmanthus, and broken pieces of lotus root. They have been stewed for a long time, and they are just as thick. Porridge is not as good as this full stomach."

Youyi took a mouthful of the soup and put it into her mouth, then nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Although your soup is a bit mixed, it tastes really good."

He said again: "Give a bowl of Baizhi Xinyi each, and you can taste it yourself."

"Yes." Ban Xia agreed with a smile, and said: "Sister Bai Shao gave birth, she is a big fat boy, weighing more than eight catties! The letter from her family personally reported that the baby was born early in the morning, hurry up Since you were not here, I spoke to my servant and returned."

Hearing this, Youyi smiled and said, "This is a good thing!" She thought for a moment, and then ordered: "Send the golden lock that I found a few days ago to Baizhi and her child, and add five pieces of fine cotton cloth, and pick it up." Send a purse of freshly struck golden prunes, and tell her, after giving these away, they will be gone after the third baptism!"

Banxia smiled and agreed, and Youyi turned her head to look at Bai Zhi again, and said with a smirk: "I know you can't stay, go, you go with your things, and see your sister and little nephew, your bowl Give the soup to Lonicera!"

Bai Zhi's usual standard smile contained a bit of genuine joy, she was overjoyed to hear this, she bowed her body and hurried away.

Seeing this rare gaffe of the usually stable left and right arms at this time, Youyi shook her head and smiled lightly, then took a piece of lotus root with the chopsticks that Pinellia was holding later, and then praised: "This stuffing is good, It's delicious and tight."

Ban Xia hurriedly said: "This is Master Chu's handicraft. It is said that it is a newly prepared stuffing, and I specially serve it to my wife to taste."

"That's right, give him ten taels of silver." Youyi nodded, Xin Yi bowed and agreed, and turned to go out to work.

After a while, the room became quiet again.

Youyi took a small bowl of soup and slowly took a mouthful of soup into her mouth. Looking up, she saw three or five chrysanthemums inserted in a crystal flower pouch on the kang table, yellow, white and pink intertwined, or blooming, or budding To be released, they are all treasures.

She smiled and said, "The chrysanthemums are about to fall, right? How many are there in the greenhouse?"

This question is for Xin Yi, Xin Yi is promoted after Bai Zhi's personal maid, she is appropriate in every way, smart and stable, so she took over Bai Zhi's original errand.

But after Bai Zhi got married, she didn't go to the mansion to go on errands, but took care of the housework at home - I heard that it was her man who cared about her and didn't want her to be busy anymore.

Youyi just smiled at this, but there are rewards for Baizhi every new year, and she must have a share of everything that the SLR gives to Biye, which can be regarded as the friendship between master and servant for many years.

At this time, Xin Yi listened to Youyi's question, but replied without hesitation: "The chrysanthemums in the greenhouse are not blooming much. You also said that this year's weather is really cold. If it is this time in previous years, there should be some beginnings." of."

He said again: "The flowers inserted today are filial to the young master. He said they got them outside. They were delivered early in the morning, but they didn't find time to return them to you."

Since Jia Rong got the honor of being a scholar, few people in the mansion called him Brother Rong, and they all called him "Little Lord".

Hearing this, Youyi raised her hand and stroked the flower gently, as if smiling: "He has a heart."

Then asked: "Is he still studying hard every day?"

Xin Yi laughed when he heard the words: "The test is coming soon, don't the two masters in our mansion study hard every day?"

"I've tried it, and I'm a man who can support the family. It's time to say goodbye to the two of them." Youyi slowly put down the porcelain spoon in her hand, poured hot water for herself to rinse her mouth for a minute, and then While pursing his lips slowly, he said: "Rong'er's marriage is easy to talk about. After all, there is a plaque of the Marquis of Ning'an, and he will get a good name in the exam. There will be no shortage of noble women in Beijing to marry him. But Qiang'er, he and After all, Rong'er is much worse, if you match him with a concubine daughter from a high family, I'm afraid he will feel unhappy, but if you match him with a daughter from a small family, even if she is born in the first place, she will not have the ability to run a family and socialize in official circles, which is really a headache."

No one dared to answer these words, Youyi sat thinking for a while, and suddenly heard a dull sound, the usual white jade bucket was gently placed on the sandalwood kang table, Youyi shook her sleeve and said: "Don't worry! There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, the current plan is to take the two of them out to relax, if you are stuck at home studying hard every day, wouldn't it hurt your health?"

Ban Xia laughed and said: "I always heard people say that the Confucian Temple in the west of the city is the best for the imperial examination. Madam, why not take the two young masters for a stroll?"

Youyi thought for a moment, then shook her head: "Forget it. When I was young, I was most impatient with the words of saints. Although I read a lot, I didn't remember them in my heart. I also had a lot of rebellious thoughts. If I go, So as not to make the old man unhappy."

She said again: "But it's also good to go to the temple." She stroked the flowers casually with one hand, while thinking: "The vegetarian restaurant in Panshan Temple in the suburbs of Beijing is the best, and it is built on the mountain. The scenery of mountains and rivers is better. Taking the two of them there to live there for two days is considered a relaxation."

Xin Yi hesitated: "It's good, but it's not far away?"

"Let's relax. What's the point of walking around without getting out of Chang'an City?" Youyi shook her head, not caring at all: "Besides, it's late autumn in Beijing, so it's not interesting. Go out and live for two days for a change. I feel good too."

Xin Yi had no choice but to agree, and said again: "Then when Sister Baizhi comes back, ask her to send someone to notify the monks at Panshan Temple and arrange for our maid and mother-in-law to clean the hut?"

"That's the best." Youyi nodded, and said again: "I remember that I have a garden near Panshan Temple. The place is not big, but the scenery is good, and I can faintly hear the sound of bells and Sanskrit in the mountain. Pure heart is the best! Wouldn't it be great to bring the two of them there to live for ten days and a half a month then? I see that they are getting impatient with their studies these days."

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that her idea was amazing!Then he nodded and said: "Besides, it's not a good idea to think about reading every day. The exam will be in the spring of next year, and the palace exam will be later. There is no rush to study. It is reasonable to go out and relax now!"

Xin Yi and the others were all helpless, or Liandong asked a question: "What about the girl? Madam took the two young masters out, what should the girl do?"

Youyi was stunned for a moment, then thought about it carefully, and said: "There are people coming and going in the temple. If you take Zhenzhen to stay there overnight, I'm afraid it's not good, and I'm even more afraid that she will disturb the clean place. It's better to go up the mountain Let her live in Zhuangzi, if she stays more, she must be accompanied by someone, and it will only take two or three days, so it will not be a problem."

"Madam's words are very true." Ban Xia nodded, paused again, and said: "It's just that we have to send people to heat the house earlier."

You Yi smiled: "Don't worry, your sister Bai Zhi will remember."

At the dinner table in the evening, Youyi announced that she would take them to live outside the city for a while. Jia Rong and Jia Qiang were both stunned when they heard this, but Jia Rong said: "The exam is approaching, and my son wants to study harder! "

Jia Qiang also hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Youyi snorted softly: "Reading and reading, reading to death!"

She took out the set of explanations at noon and told the two of them, and said: "I have already sent people to Panshan Temple and Zhuangzi, and if you go out for a short stay, you have to go, or you have to go if you don't! "

Jia Rong and Jia Qiang looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

They read books every day, and they must continue to study hard behind closed doors, which will not benefit them, so they might as well go out to relax.

It was Jia Rong who made some comments: "But the weather in central Beijing is already very cold, and I don't know what to do outside the city. My little aunt is still young and weak, what should I do if I catch the wind and cold?"

"Following me, can you still make her sick?" Youyi rolled her eyes in an inelegant manner, and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Housekeeper, there will be someone in the village to prepare, and your little aunt's house will definitely be burnt down." Baked!"

Jia Rong smiled flatteringly, and said, "I'm worried about little aunt~"

At the age of fifteen or sixteen at this time, he already has a face like a crown of jade, with the attitude of a gentleman.

It's rare to act like a baby, showing the coquettish attitude of a child, and the words are full of intimacy and ease.

Jia Qiang nodded abruptly, as though Jia Rong was pointing and hitting.

Youyi chuckled from the side, looked at Jia Rong with disgust, but couldn't help but raised her hand and pinched his handsome face: "How old are you, you have such a graceful appearance, and in the future, you will also have such a beautiful face." I don’t know how many girls in Chang’an City will be secretly promised!”

"Mother, don't worry, in the future - "The spring breeze is proud of the horseshoe disease, I can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day", I will definitely find you an excellent daughter-in-law!" Jia Rong said with high spirits, not paying attention to the remaining The last piece of pork ribs has been quickly put into the plate by Jia Qiang.

Youyi didn't tell him, she just smiled secretly, seeing Jia Qiang and the pork ribs on his chopsticks with slightly resentful eyes after seeing him come back to his senses and then go to pick up vegetables in vain.
