[Red House Chai Dai] Salted Pork Knuckle, Crab Rice Wine

Now the Jia family is in a hurry again.

The royal etiquette cannot be sloppy.Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess came in person, and her specification was comparable to that of a prince. Mother Jia and the others were in such a panic that they were in a hurry to dress and freshen up.

Jia Lian said again: "His Royal Highness the eldest princess came here in modest clothes, keeping everything simple. Father and uncle have already performed the state ceremony, and now His Royal Highness is serving tea in Rongxi Hall. Uncle is urging the old ancestors and all the wives to go quickly." .”

So Jia's mother, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang didn't care about other things, they rushed to see each other in a hurry, and knelt down before the steps and knelt down.But he saw that the eldest princess was wearing homely clothes, her eyes were blurred, her face was slightly tainted, she looked like she was drunk, and there was a big court lady bowing beside her to serve her.

Mother Jia and others have always heard that the eldest princess is quite favored in front of the Supreme Emperor, Empress Dowager, and Empress Dowager, not to mention that she has been close to her and has made great contributions to the country and the people. The demeanor is indecent, but lying on the ground, he dare not even make a sound.

Suddenly, the eldest princess asked: "Why don't you see Miss Xue? Could it be that Xiang Wu drank a few more glasses and his eyes were blurred?"

Jia's mother was thinking about how to reply, when she saw the big palace maid stepping forward, she replied with a light smile, "Miss Xue is just a relative who lives in Jia's family, and she has no title, how dare she enter?"

The eldest princess frowned slightly, obviously a little unhappy, and said: "Since that's the case, why don't you invite me here soon? By the way, this maidservant is very filial, and she asked her mother to come with her. What do I want to say to her?" words."

At this time, Jia Mu and others were ordered to die.

Mother Jia and the others wondered secretly, how dare they resist the order, and hurriedly ordered someone to invite them. Aunt Xue was trembling for a while, and was supported by Baochai. , but the eldest princess herself came down from her seat happily and grabbed Baochai's hand, which made Jia Mu and others secretly amazed.

A few hectares of wine, tea and fruit were brought up at the price of running water, and Jia Zheng went to the prelude to ask if he could order the theater troupe raised at home to play for the fun.

The troupe was originally built by Jia's family, who purchased girls from Gusu and other places in order to welcome Mrs. Yuanchun to visit her relatives, and spent a lot of money to build it.

Therefore, Jia Zheng's words originally meant to express the solemnity and grand hospitality, but the Eldest Princess didn't want to appreciate it at all, and said angrily: "It's so noisy, can't we just talk quietly for a while?"

Jia Zheng looked embarrassed, but saw the big palace maid said: "Your Majesty Jia doesn't know something. I was treated by Miss Xue today, and His Highness has already received a banquet, but because I had a good talk with Miss Xue, there is still nothing to do. I did my best to come here at night. Thank you Master Jia for your hospitality, I am afraid that it is not beautiful if it is too much."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but secretly wondered in their hearts.Only then did Jia's mother realize that Baochai's previous remarks about entertaining guests were not false, let alone that she would have a relationship with such nobles as the eldest princess, she couldn't help feeling a little annoyed that she had spoken harshly earlier.Glancing at Aunt Xue again, seeing her face full of surprise, foolishly not knowing what to do, she let out a sneer in her heart.

At this time, in the courtyard outside, Ying'er was also surrounded by several servant girls, asking questions non-stop.

Ying'er looked proud: "My girl has always been a person who does great things, so why is it surprising that she met Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess? My family is going to join hands with His Royal Highness to do business together!"

She was busy showing off how much she knew to a few "little hooves who have never seen the world": "Do you mean the big maid next to His Royal Highness the Princess? It must be Miss Sang Luo. The Princess has gone to our house several times. Girl, it's all about her back and forth. But she has a bad temper, and I don't dare to talk to her."

Although Baochai often taught her to be cautious in her words and deeds, and to keep her mouth shut in everything, but Yinger saw Baochai repeatedly being suppressed by Aunt Xue, Mother Jia and others these days, and couldn't help feeling wronged for Baochai. Encountered an opportunity to feel proud, how can you easily miss it?

In Rongxi Hall, there was another scene.

The eldest princess held Baochai's hand and refused to let go, and asked Baochai to sit beside her, but Baochai dared not sit, she refused to let her go.

In the end, the big court lady Huan Sangluo said with a smile: "Her mother and the elders of the Jia family have not sat down, how dare she sit?" Moved a high-ranking nanmu chair from the side, but Baochai was still modest.

The eldest princess said half annoyed and half put on a show: "You and I can just talk about each other on the same level, why bother with these red tapes."

Later, from the side room, someone from below brought a chair covered with silver and red flowers, with a footrest underneath, and placed it under the eldest princess's seat. Baochai then confessed her crime and sat slightly sideways.

Mother Jia, Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue and others waited for the news around the outside, all of them dared not speak loudly, and they were all surprised and uncertain among each other.I don't know how long it took before the news came out, saying that it was past Haishi, and the eldest princess wanted to drive back to Luan.

Everyone hurried in and knelt down to bid farewell. The eldest princess said to Aunt Xue specially: "Baochai is very good. Having such a daughter is a blessing from heaven. You should love her well and don't restrain her and criticize her." Aunt Xue was so frightened that There was nothing but kowtows to say yes, and I couldn't help but stutter, and once I said something, I couldn't even remember what I said.

The group sent the eldest princess back to Luan respectfully. Mother Jia, Jia Zheng and others couldn't help congratulating Aunt Xue and Baochai. In front of everyone, Baochai was praised as rare in the sky and unparalleled on earth.As the night was getting dark, he had been physically and mentally haggard for several days because of Baoyu, and he left in a hurry.

Baochai then returned to Hengwuyuan, and let out a deep breath, feeling exhausted.Qianxue and Ying'er cleaned and changed Baochai, and replied in a low voice: "Just now the youngest son came to answer and said that Ma Daopo returned to his home at the third quarter of Shen Shi. We are in front of the short-legged king of the middleman. After handing over the money, Ma Daopo acted immediately, promising that Second Master Bao and Second Mistress would recover tonight if they were early, and tomorrow if they were late, and they would definitely recover without any danger."

Baochai nodded and said, "No wonder when they came back, the two of them had already woken up. It can be seen that Ma Daopo is also a believer." Then she said to Qianxue: "You know that I have no malicious intentions in my heart, but no one will believe it. Me. Just this time, someone still wants to set up a frame, saying that I sang a bad face, I am afraid that I am plotting something wrong. I am also tired, so I will report to the old lady and the second aunt in a few days, or move out never mind."

Qianxue said: "It's up to the girl to decide everything." Although she used to be a person close to Jia's mother and shared furniture in Jia's house, Baochai has been doing things properly for a long time, and has never done anything harmful to Jia's family. Treating her kindly, secondly, she has exchanged Geng Tie with the youngest son of Chen Yi's family, got married, and seeing that she is going to get married in a few days, so Baochai is the main one everywhere, and it is this time. Chai had told her to, and she kept it from her natal family.

The master and servants finished washing and settled down separately.Although Baochai has been traveling so much today, and has worked so hard, but thinking about her situation, she still can't sleep.

Baoyu's bizarre illness this time had nothing to do with her at first, but because she knew the ins and outs in her previous life, and she couldn't see Lin Daiyu's worries, so she took the initiative to invite Ying. He was the mastermind behind the scenes, and under the crooked attack, he almost took the suspicion on him.

Afterwards, Han Qi reported the letter and proposed to invite a group of people, including the eldest princess, to have a drink in the silk and satin village, and discuss the plan to go to sea. A good show, the urgent need has been resolved.But no matter Han Qi or the eldest princess, they are not easy to get along with, fearing that if they make a careless move, they will become like drinking doves to quench their thirst, so she can't help but think again and again.

Besides, on Ma Daopo's side, these three aunts and six wives are the easiest to offend. I don't know what power is behind them, and where they are in charge of their secret affairs.Sure enough, it didn't take long to catch him in, and he came out as if nothing happened, obviously his life was not exhausted.In her previous life, she was not imprisoned until a few years later.In this life, Jia's family members rushed to the doctor in a hurry, and if they made such a foolish move, they might offend her greatly.What will happen after that is hard to predict.

Baochai thought back and forth until the ugliness was about to end, then she closed her eyes dimly, and suddenly dreamed of the previous life, when all the girls were admiring flowers and chanting poems in the Grand View Garden, Shi Xiangyun was drunk, sitting on the stone pedal in the garden Sleeping, petals sprinkled her body and face, Lin Daiyu still covered her mouth with a handkerchief and teased: "It's not late at night, but I'm afraid that Shilianghua has gone to sleep." Suddenly, sand and stones flew in the Grand View Garden, and the grass and leaves turned yellow. , falling flowers all over the ground, in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Lin Daiyu was terminally ill, with a pale face, took her hand and said, "My good sister, I can't wait, I have to go first." As she spoke, she coughed and covered herself with a handkerchief Shut up, there are spots of blood all over the veil...

When Baochai dreamed here, she couldn't help waking up. When she looked carefully, her face and body were covered with cold sweat.

This day, Qianxue was serving beside her. When she heard the movement, she hurriedly asked, "But the girl has suffered from that disease again?"

Baochai hurriedly waved her hands: "It's irrelevant." Urging Qianxue to go to sleep, she thought of the dawn in a daze, and smiled wryly.

In the early morning of the next day, he ordered the third son and others to go to the residence of Nanny Sun and Yao Jing, and made clear the previous business transaction.But Grandma Sun was nowhere to be found, only Yao Jing was lying on the bed, and a little maid waited on her side to dispense the medicine, and when she moved a little, Yao Jing grinned and cried out in pain.

Baochai was very surprised when she saw it, so she couldn't help asking, "Why don't you see Master?" The little girl hurriedly replied that she went out to visit friends a few days ago.

Baochai then asked Yao Jing: "Did my master know about what happened yesterday?" Seeing Yao Jing's negative answer, she felt relieved and sad at the same time. He instructed: "Since she doesn't know, it's better not to let her know."
