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

Jia Baoyu is used to being a little fugitive in front of her daughter in the boudoir.Every time he had a quarrel with Daiyu, and when Daiyu was stunned to tears, he always went there first to make amends, no matter if he was right or wrong.Even Qingwen, a maid of Yihong Courtyard, accidentally broke the fan, and he babbled a few words and lost his temper.

In Jia Baoyu's view, bowing his head to a girl who is as beautiful as a flower is not a failure, but a kind of honor, so he never tires of it.

However, this apology was when Jia Baoyu felt the most uncomfortable.

Not only because he made the apology to Baochai in front of many dignitaries including the King of Beijing this time, but also because Jia Baoyu made the apology in the past from an angle different from their common knowledge. Yang Zhifan and pity the girl, when he apologized, he still had a sense of superiority and was condescending, but this time when he made the apology, Baoyu felt that Baochai was scrutinizing him, and it was not he who was condescending, but Baochai.

However, apology can only be apology.Baoyu dared not disobey the order of King Beijing.After apologizing, Baoyu retreated to the side like a wilted eggplant, watching King Jing with a smile on his face, and discussing going to sea with the eldest princess and the others.

Baoyu couldn't even see the scales that weighed silver, and naturally he couldn't understand this, so he was confused, but suddenly everyone stopped and looked at Baochai, as if they had some doubts. I want Baochai to answer

.But Baochai's face was calm, without the shyness and timidity of her daughter's family, she talked freely and confidently.If Baoyu hadn't known her details, he might have been blinded by the man she was dressed in these days, and thought she was a man who looked like a good girl.

Without him, men who look as good as women are rare, but there are historical records to check; however, it is rare for someone like Baochai to be so good at common affairs.Baoyu loved to read those extremely eclectic writings since he was a child, and he was familiar with all the wonderful women in the past dynasties, but he had never seen Baochai like this.A question suddenly arose in his heart: since there are women like Baochai in the world, who can go in and out of halls and talk freely by themselves, they are much better than those other dudes, why bother to give birth to so many when there are Baochai in the world Rich playboy?

Because of this idea, Baoyu's resentment towards Baochai inexplicably decreased a lot.Standing in front of Baochai, he became more and more ashamed of himself, and he couldn't summon up the courage to stand up to her.

Baoyu was in such a daze until the banquet was over that day, and he accompanied King Beijing back to the palace, but he was still awake.King Beijing was tired this day, and asked him to go back first, so Baoyu went back to Rongguo Mansion in a daze, and went to visit Jia Mu as usual, and was still Jia Mu's beloved grandson.

Because Baoyu had had some wine that day, Jia Mu ordered someone to make sour bamboo shoot and chicken skin soup for him to sober up for dinner, and told him kindly about the concubine's finger marriage: "Your mother has entered the palace Bingming Concubine Concubine, It's only been two days."

Baoyu suddenly came back to his soul and said in a trembling voice, "Why so fast? Didn't you say that there are still a few months left?"

Mother Jia then became more and more loving: "Marriage is the will of the heavenly family. For this purpose alone, it has been planned for half a year. From the time when the will was made to the day of the big wedding, it will take half a year to say the least. I have already urged them to hurry up." A little bit. Sigh, although our family is only a middle-class family, it is different from those who elope without a name and no distinction. I don’t know how long it will take for the three media and six hires.”

Baoyu listened to Jia Mu's words, "It's like elopement without a name or distinction", clearly ridiculing Baochai secretly, her heart skipped a beat, and she became more and more restless.He thought of Baochai's appearance in front of the eldest princess, and felt a faint sense of shame that his embarrassment had been discovered. He looked around at the people in the room, but fortunately Aunt Xue was not present, and Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing bowed their heads together. Li Wan looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, and Li Wan only cared about his food, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, sisters Sanchun, Daiyu and others were all eating and drinking in the small kitchen of the Grand View Garden, so they were not present.Wang Xifeng served Jia Mu for dinner, and said with a joke at this time: "The old ancestor said that Baoyu's marriage, we naturally have to make a big deal. Fortunately, sister Lin lives in the garden, so I don't have to worry a lot."

Mrs. Wang originally heard Jia Mu ridiculing Baochai for "elopement without a name and identity", and felt that Baochai was considered a relative of her own, which was quite embarrassing, so she lowered her head and scolded Aunt Xue privately. Wang Xifeng opened her mouth to talk about Baoyu's marriage. As Baoyu's biological mother, she naturally wanted to talk, and then she suggested: "In my humble opinion, since Baoyu and Lin girl are unmarried couples, they are married together. Stay in the garden, although the children are well-read, but outsiders can read it, it is not like it after all, it is better to move Baoyu out of the garden at this time, so as to avoid rumors."

Mother Jia also felt that Mrs. Wang's idea was good, she nodded slightly in agreement, and began to think about Baoyu's married life, because she said, "Madam Lin's body is probably weak. Fortunately, I had the foresight to prepare a beautiful house for Baoyu." Concubine, if you put it in the room, you won't be afraid."

Mrs. Wang hurriedly said: "My daughter-in-law is also worried about this matter. She has been watching coldly for many years, and she sees that the old lady gave Baoyu's servant girl the most pain and heat. Whenever Baoyu does anything wanton, she still knows how to measure , persuading her from the sidelines. Therefore, although I haven't opened the way, I have rewarded her with two taels of silver from my monthly case."

Mother Jia frowned.The maid she took a fancy to for Baoyu was Qingwen.I don't want Mrs. Wang to have a crush on Xiren.Speaking carefully, both Qingwen and Xiren were maids that Jiamu pointed out to Baoyu, but Xiren was the first-class maid beside Jiamu in those days. Her original name was Pearl. She was careful at the time, and she was asked to serve Shi Xiangyun in the early years, and later she was put by Baoyu's side.Qingwen is different. Qingwen looks playful and has a sweet mouth. Although she is only a second-class maid, she is valued by Jiamu. the meaning of.What's more, Mrs. Wang was afraid that Baoyu would learn badly, so she picked up a not-so-good-looking Xiren to fight her in the ring.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law fought back and forth over the issue of Baoyu's housing in the future, and fought openly and secretly, and finally ended in a draw.Mother Jia was very dissatisfied with Mrs. Wang's self-assessment and the practice of raising an attacker as an aunt, but it was a done deal, and it was not good to slap her in the face openly. I just wrote it down for the time being and left it for the next day; Humei, after becoming an aunt in the future, she will seduce Baoyu more and more to not learn well, but Jia Mu insisted that she should not violate it openly, so she had to pay attention to it secretly, and deal with it when she catches Qingwen's handle in the future.
