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

When Yao Jing heard the words, she only thought they sounded familiar, and didn't think deeply for a while, because she was thinking about the situation of trying to please Sun Mu in every possible way, so she readily agreed, and hurriedly said: "Since I am Miss Xue's best friend, I will naturally do my best to heal her. .”

After thinking about it, he said: "It's very difficult to say about the disease, you have to read it to know the depth."

Baochai saw that her words were carefully considered, and she was not as arrogant as before, so she dared to believe a little bit in her heart. Just as she was about to speak, Xiangling couldn't help asking: "Miss, do you want to treat Miss Lin? How about her marriage with Second Master Bao?"

Baochai replied with a smile: "Although the empress has not made a decree, it has already been agreed. Just wait for the decree to be asked today, and it will be a big deal."

Xiang Ling couldn't help but said, "Very good. Only someone like Second Master Bao is worthy of her."

Baochai just smiled when she heard this, but Yinger, who was standing beside her, kept winking at Xiangling, and her eyes were about to cramp.Xiangling didn't know what it meant, but asked herself, "Ying'er, what's wrong with your eyes?"

Yinger was too angry to pay any attention to Xiangling.Baochai's questioning eyes had already followed, and Ying'er hurriedly prevaricated by saying that "a bug got in her eye by chance".

They were at ease, but Yao Jing was dumbfounded, as if she couldn't believe it, she asked Xiangling: "Miss Lin you mentioned just now, is it Miss Lin Daiyulin from Gusu?"

Xiang Ling smiled and said: "You are very familiar with the people around our girl. Besides Miss Lin, who else can make our girl so caring?"

Baochai heard this, feeling a little sour in her heart, forced a smile and said, "Xiangling, what are you talking about? Could it be that I don't care enough for you?"

Xiangling shook her head and said: "Miss' kindness to me is as great as a mountain, Xiangling will never forget it, and I still don't understand the kindness of the girl in this life. It's just that Xiangling always feels that the girl's kindness to Miss Lin is different from the way she treats us. .”

Sun Mu was listening on the sidelines, and at this moment he finally became interested, and asked with a smile: "Since that's the case, I'd like to ask, how kind is your girl to you, and how kind to that Miss Lin? What a difference."

Baochai felt a little guilty, and smiled to cover it up: "Xiangling, you haven't been in my house for two years. You have to return our girl, our girl, so people can't be misunderstood. How can you do your best?" I know that what happened in the past two years is nothing more than listening to Yinger's words, and there are many incomplete and untrue things."

Sun Mu heard the meaning in her words, that he didn't want to delve into this matter.She is well-versed in human nature, thinking that there are few inhumane things in anyone's family, since Baochai didn't want her to pursue it, she let her go, laughed it off, and didn't ask further questions.

Yao Jing was not as indifferent as Sun Mu.Hearing Xiangling's words confirmed her previous speculation, she became puzzled instead, and thought to herself, what kind of singing is this? How could Xue Baochai be so kind all of a sudden, to beg others with kind words for the sake of her rival, I'm afraid there is fraud in this.

If Yao Jing thought of this in the past, she would have ignored her, taunted Baochai, and deliberately confronted her, but now under Sun Mu's nose, she did not dare to act recklessly like this, she just tried to say: " The marriage between Miss Lin and Second Master Bao in Jia's Mansion is really settled? You... what are you thinking?"

Yao Jing meant that she was afraid that Baochai would borrow her hand from Daiyu in order to snatch Baoyu from her and do something.But Baochai naturally didn't know that she would think of this.

Baochai was a little guilty at first, and after hearing her words, she inevitably misunderstood, thinking in her heart that such a confidential matter, could even Mr. Yao have seen it, if it was someone else, it would be meaningless, but Mr. Yao, who is famous He likes to talk nonsense and doesn't deal with himself. Now that he is suppressed by Sun Mu for a while, he may be safe for a while, but in the long run, there will be disasters sooner or later.Hastily smiled and said: "Where is this talking? They are the same family, a perfect match, I am too happy, how can I have any ideas?"

Although Yao Jing is a little too selfish, she is not stupid. Seeing Baochai's clarification made her even more confused, and she couldn't help wondering if she was trying to cover up.Among the people present at this time, only Ying'er knew the details of Baochai, and none of the others, even Xiangling, Ying'er dared to tell such private things carelessly.Therefore, they just listened to what the two of them had to say, and didn't really care about it.Ying'er was very anxious, but she had just been warned by Baochai, so she didn't dare to worry about it.

Yao Jing thought about it for a while, and said to herself: Whatever Xue Baochai thinks.At worst, I will take the pulse, buy medicine, and brew medicine with Daiyu. Even if Baochai harbors evil intentions, at worst, I will invite elder sister Sun and other people who have lived in the palace for a long time to sit in the town. I don't believe Xue Baochai can do anything in this medicine.

My mind is set, but I don't want to get entangled with Baochai any more, and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, I've misunderstood. Since I'm Miss Xue's best friend, there's no reason for me to stand idly by, so I ask Miss Xue to arrange it." Paused After a pause, he said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to enter the gate of Jia's mansion after what happened to Mrs. Ma Daopo."

Baochai saw that she was thinking about things much more calmly than before, but she was also happy in her heart, and said with a smile: "Mr. Yao doesn't have to worry about this, I will arrange it myself. But on the other side of Miss Lin, I have to explain it to her in detail. It will take some time. When we have a letter, we will inform Mr. Yao."

Yao Jing hurriedly said: "Since it is a congenital disease, there is no rush at this moment. Everything is arranged by Miss Xue."

Sun Mu saw that the two of them were coming and going, talking very harmoniously, and felt happy in his heart.

At that moment, everyone talked for a while, and Xiangling rushed to set up a meal.Zhao Fang still had the intention of backing down, and Baochai wanted to save Sun Mu, so she hurriedly kept her with a smile: "Xiang Ling has gained a lot of experience in cooking in the past two years, and you are welcome!" Zhao Fang agreed.

So the group had lunch in Xiangling's yard that day.Grandma Liu and her daughter's family also came from the side yard and sat down at a table. Except for Sun Mu who was bedridden, Yao Jing selected a few light and restrained dishes for her and brought them to the bed. Everyone was full of index fingers, and they were full of praise for Xiangling's cooking skills. Even Baochai said: "To be fair, I have eaten a lot of banquets in the Rongguo Mansion in the past few years. He is not tired of food, even an eggplant needs to be served with a few chickens, although the taste is good, but it is unnatural. Now Xiangling cooks, bringing out the original taste of the food, and eating it is just like home."

Everyone cheered.

Yao Jing applauded, but felt a little melancholy in her heart.I thought to myself, Xiangling studied poetry in the original book, how elegant, but now I don’t know if it’s because of the flapping of her butterfly wings, Xue Baochai rescued her from the fire pit of Xue Dubawang, but taught her to develop into the vulgar.How boring it is to wash your hands and make soup.

She only cares about emotion, but she never thought that even though there are all kinds of wonderful things in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and hops, the seven things that open doors in life are still tea, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar tea.No matter how elegant the poetry is, what good is it if it can't stop the hunger and cold?Hobbies belong to hobbies, and hobbies without the support of reality are still castles in the air.

When the Poetry Club was opened in the Grand View Garden, there was a dazzling array of beautiful things, all of them were talented and beautiful, and their hearts were embroidered with splendid appearances. They had never lost to a man. One red, one red, all beautiful, share a sad fate.

Xiangling didn't know Yao Jing's emotion.She just felt quite satisfied, down-to-earth satisfaction.After all, she is also a person with skills. Back then, Baochai paid for it, and the restaurant and shop opened by her, Yao Jing and others were very impressive, and the small business was enough to feed and clothe.

Except for Grandma Liu who drank a few large bowls of rice wine, everyone just pursed their lips slightly.Although Ying'er is good at drinking, she is outside and has to wait for Baochai to go home, so she doesn't dare to indulge in drinking.

There was no such thing as toasting and staggering at the small banquet, and it ended very quickly.After the banquet, Grandma Liu's family went to work on their own. Zhao Fang also said that she had embroidery work to do, so she left home. Sun Mu called Baochai to the bedside, and asked her carefully, "I wanted to ask just now, but someone I'm here, so it's not easy to ask in detail. So I waited until this hour. Let me ask you, what happened to your lifelong event? That girl Lin in Jia's mansion is going to marry the second master Bao, what about you? Don't be greedy The girl's home is free and easy, and the time for marking the plum is missed."

Baochai bowed her head in silence, and said for a while, "Since I was a child, I have envied Master's freedom. Doesn't Master not know?"

Sun Mu sighed and said, "Stupid child, how could I not know? But you only see that I am free and unrestrained, but you know that my parents and relatives are almost cut off, and in times of crisis, they are inseparable? I am released from the palace. I'm an old man, so everyone gave me a little bit of sarcasm, most of them are respectful in front of people, but don't you know how they laugh at me behind my back?"

Baochai said: "You don't need to listen to the meaningless words of the common people."

Sun Mu shook his head: "Although this is the case, how can one person fight against the whole world. When tossing and turning in the middle of the night, what branch can you rely on? Therefore, Jing'er has all kinds of wrongs and all kinds of bad things. When she begged me for forgiveness, I also agreed. Firstly, it was years of friendship, and I couldn't bear it, secondly, secondly, it's not like being alone and afraid."

Baochai was speechless for a while, although she felt upset, she didn't know what to say.

Sun Mu then carefully said: "Although Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is noble, but in my opinion, she is not a serious person. Besides, her reputation is not good. You must not be close friends with her, so as not to pollute your innocence. reputation."

Baochai bowed her head in agreement.Sun Mu explained again: "Last time I heard from Ying'er that the son of Jinxiang Bohan's family came to propose marriage, but was kicked out by your mother. From my cold perspective, his family is very good. Now that you are with him You might as well be careful about planning to go to sea together. If you have no intention of marrying someone, who is not married? The daughter's family chooses a son-in-law, the family background and appearance are second, and the character and temperament are the most important."
