[Comprehensive Red House] Infinite Merit

When Xue Xun arrived at Youyi's side, she was sitting on the kang with a bowl of red dates and white fungus soup, and two or three sweet snacks such as silver cakes and milk cakes were placed on the kang table beside her.There was also a plate of fresh fruit, but there was no incense in the room, only three or four pomelo piled on the kang table, exuding a bitter fragrance.

Xue Xun greeted Youyi, and Youyi asked, "Can I have breakfast?"

Xue Xun replied: "I used it at my grandmother's place."

He rolled his big round eyes, looked at the silver cakes on the kang table, and smiled flatteringly: "But if Aunt needs Xun'er to accompany you, you can still use some more."

Hearing this, Youyi knew that he must be useless with Mrs. Xue, so she put down the white fungus soup in her hand in a funny way, stretched out her hand to feel Xue Xun's pulse, touched his belly, and gently pressed her fingers on his plump forehead. After knocking, he ordered Qiongzhi: "Bring half a bowl of white fungus soup to your little father-in-law."

"Oh." Qiongzhi agreed with a smile, stepped back for a while, and came back with a red snack box, opened it and brought out a set of pastel chrysanthemum pattern covered bowls with a white background, and handed over a small silver spoon, and said with a smile: "The tremella soup stewed in the middle of the night, young man, try it?"

Xue Xun smiled and said, "Thank you, Aunt Qiongzhi."

While talking, he stretched out his hand to open the gaiwan, and slowly asked for the white fungus soup with the silver spoon.

No matter how lively you are on weekdays, you can't lack etiquette when it comes to the dinner table.He was brought out by Yi, and all the etiquette was imitated by Youyi. At this time, he was eating dim sum with tremella soup slowly, with gentle movements, even when the silver spoon and chopsticks collided with the dishes, there was no sound.

For a while in the warm pavilion, there was only the sound of "tick-tick" from the western grandfather clock, and the maids waiting around held their breaths. Manxi and Suiyun sat in meditation behind the gauze curtains on both sides, quietly.

After breakfast, Youyi was sitting on the kang with a bowl of Pu'er tea, Suiyun and Zhu Yan moved a small table to look through the account books, Bai Shao found a large calligraphy post according to Youyi's instructions, poor little Xue Xun In this way, the baby held the brush and traced the big characters.

Youyi rested her chin on the side and looked at it for a while, then suddenly said with a smile to the crowd: "Although our little father-in-law is young, he is also extremely intelligent. Look at this word, the painting is pretty good."

A few maidservants around burst out laughing, and Xiao Xue Xun blushed and said angrily, "Auntie!"

Youyi shook her head and smiled lightly: "Auntie won't talk about you anymore, just write quickly. Today's tasks are divided into morning and afternoon, ten large characters, one is indispensable."

"Yes!" Xiao Baozi Xue Xun responded aggressively, lowered his head and continued to fight with the special small brush and the soft and white rice paper in his hand.

Youyi tilted her head to look at him, the Suiyun was suddenly called out, and when she came back, she whispered something in Youyi's ear.Youyi listened carefully, and suddenly smiled. Seeing that Xue Xun's handwriting was almost finished, she said, "That's it for the morning. What do you want for lunch? Tell Aunt Qiongzhi."

Xue Xun obediently obediently obediently obediently tidied up the things on the table, and then said to Qiongzhi: "Aunt Qiongzhi, Ah Xun wants to use eight-treasure tofu soup, eight-treasure duck, and guinea fowl today. A fish fillet in gravy!"

"Can you finish this much meal?" Youyi raised her hand and gently scratched his little nose, and said, "Just order two favorites. A while ago, Zhuangzi sent some fat sheep, and they were all beaten." The ones from the prairie are better than ours. Order someone to slaughter one, let’s eat it in a pot, and roast a leg of lamb, are you sure you want these for lunch?”

Xue Xun immediately regretted it, thought for a while, and said: "Then Xun'er only wants tofu soup and guinea fowl!"

Youyi nodded, "Okay." She told Qiongzhi: "Just ask the big kitchen to prepare two more side dishes."

Qiongzhi smiled and bowed: "Yes."

The aunt and nephew used it together for lunch, and Xue Xun wanted to take a nap in the afternoon, but the winter was short and Youyi didn't sleep.

Xue Xun was obediently taken down by Jinniang to take a nap in the wing room, and Youyi yawned lazily by leaning on the pillow, then suddenly turned her head and asked Sui Yun, "How is the new year's new clothes in the mansion?"

Sui Yun seemed to have been prepared for a long time, thinking about the affairs of the mansion at his fingertips, "The rules in our mansion are that you, the old lady, the wife, and the young man are all in the same suit, and the servants and servants are all dressed in the same clothes, regardless of whether they are close or rough. The cloth shop under the jurisdiction of the mansion provides it. Except for the sewing lady in the mansion who is responsible for the clothes of the masters, the clothes of the servants are wrapped outside. Because our business is busy in the end of the year, we only found a woman who is good at needlework from outside. , Handed over. It’s almost halfway back now, and it will be finished in a few days. According to previous years, at least 23 will be assigned, and it will be in time.”

He said again: "Tiangong Pavilion also sent a new set of heads. The old lady ordered a set of emerald emeralds inlaid with rubies, and my wife set a set of red gold filigree inlaid with pearls. Another set of red gold filigree inlaid with rubies, and a set of dots The emerald inlaid green pine jadeite beads are for you. Except for your two sets, which are filial, the money from the old lady and the wife has been handed over to them. Although it is our family's business, if the account It’s bad, it’s a trivial matter.”

"That's right." Youyi nodded, "That's it, turn around and send the heads everywhere. I want gold and silver coins for rewarding people in the next year, small gold beads for visiting relatives, and twelve zodiac signs for Xun'er Hurry up and get ready. These things are busy everywhere in the twelfth lunar month, so let’s prepare them in advance, and the rest is loose, so don’t delay doing business.”

Sui Yun leaned back and said with a smile: "Yes, this servant knows."

"Business is busy next year, so keep an eye on everyone. It's not that people don't get any money, but it's not good if you stretch your hands too far." Youyi took a tea bowl and slowly sipped her tea, asking: "How are the gifts everywhere?"

Sui Yun smiled and said slowly: "For the rest of the mansions, just wait for the gifts from over there to come, and we can add or subtract as appropriate. It is also a joy for the uncle to return to Beijing to report on his work, and our gifts should be two points thicker than in previous years. I think it's the same in the mansion over there. Jia's mansion has its own old lady to make decisions. Although the left and right etiquette is heavy, our family does not have a lot of such things, as long as the old lady is happy to buy them."

"You know my temperament." Youyi tilted her head to look at her, and let out a low laugh from her lips, "Where is the gift for the saint?"

"A four-sided screen of agarwood wood and a pair of white jade bone fracture fans are for His Majesty. A glass kang screen with blooming flowers and a pair of agarwood bead strings are for the Queen Mother. A glass kang with continuous melons Screen and a pair of acacia flowers and walk in with the empress." Sui Yun read slowly, and then asked: "Do you need to prepare another gift for the ladies in the harem?"

Youyi snorted lightly and shook her head: "I'm used to them. The queen has a son-in-law under her knees, and the prince is extremely intelligent. He is the eldest brother of all the princes, and he is four or five years older than the second prince! Now he has entered the court, civil and military officials Praise. Today's sages have damaged their foundations through hard work in the early years, let's see who will inherit the great unification and the ninth five in the future."

He said again: "If you really want to prepare, there are emperor's heirs and high-ranking people in the harem, which one can be left behind? That's it, you don't mind making trouble."

Sui Yun smiled slowly, and said: "Master's words are sharp, so it might be a problem if it spreads outside."

Youyi raised her eyes and glanced at her, then suddenly snorted lightly, her brows and eyes overflowed with arrogance and arrogance: "If this word spreads outside, wouldn't it be my fault for being lax?"

Sui Yun smiled and said, "Master's words are reasonable."

……

The wind in the north was indeed much stronger than that in Jinling, and the strong wind was blowing outside the house. When a group of people who were accustomed to living in Jinling came out of the house, the strong wind blew in front of them, and it hurt like a knife.

In the warm pavilion, the ground dragon and the warm kang were burning hot, and the copper pot on the kang table was filled with charcoal fire, and the soup was tumbling to rinse the mutton.A high table was brought up from the ground and placed under the kang, right next to the kang table, on which were placed slices of lamb leg meat and vegetables in the pot, all of which were cultivated in the greenhouse. In winter, On the contrary, such juicy vegetables are more precious.

Xue Xun ate hard, and Jinniang waited on her carefully, lest she hurt this precious little ancestor.

Meals are being served here, and the maidservant at the other end reported: "The old lady and the lady have returned home."

Youyi took a sip of the sherbet, raised her head and asked, "Where are the old lady and the lady?"

The maid said: "Madam followed the old lady back to Anshou Hall, and the kitchen brought some snacks over."

"Yeah." Youyi nodded inexplicably, took a piece of green vegetable and chewed it slowly. After swallowing a mouthful of green vegetable, she asked Xue Xun, "How is the food?"

Xue Xun nodded and said, "I'm full!"

"In that case, let's go to Shou'an Hall with your aunt." Youyi put down her chopsticks casually, and the maid hurriedly brought flower water, rinsing bowl, basin, towels and other things to serve Youyi and Xue Xun to wash their mouths and hands.

"Master." Sui Yun came over holding the cloak Chen made for Youyi, and bowed slightly to Youyi, "See how you wear it."

Youyi nodded, and said to Jinniang who was taking the cloak and was going to put it on Xue Xun: "I ordered someone to make him a fox fur cloak before, and I'll get it for you. You take this one." let's go."

A maid over there quietly retreated to take the cloak, Jin Niang smiled and agreed, and withdrew.

Little Baozi Xue Xun stood helplessly on the ground, already lost in thought.

Shou'an Hall, at first glance, is a place for the elderly to live.

The courtyard is also decorated in a broad northern style, with two beautiful red plums in front of the court. Mrs. Xue said that when she was young, there were two red plums like this in her boudoir.

The lights in the upper room were brightly lit, and the house was burning warmly.Mrs. Xue was wearing a purple long coat embroidered with the dark pattern of Wufuyingmen, and a squirrel leather skirt, her hair was loosely tied in a bun. Clear bird's nest contained in a bowl with a patterned lid.

Mrs. Chen was still wearing a rather gorgeous rose red embroidered azalea-embroidered coat with a cardigan collar, the waist was tightly tied with a plain palace sash, and her lower body was a jade-colored skirt, which looked gorgeous yet elegant.Mrs. Chen's black hair was still neatly tied up in a bun, and she wore a sapphire apron inlaid with pearls. The maidservant behind her was still holding a thick cloak in her hands. Compared with Mrs. Xue's laziness, she was more restrained. .

"The princess, the young master is here."
