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

Yao Jing was silent again.She originally thought that with her superb medical skills, thinking awareness beyond this world, and familiarity with the original work of the Red Chamber, she would be able to surprise everyone sooner or later.But after being reminded by Baochai, I realized that the rulers of this world are a group of self-respecting guys who kill people like drinking water and eating, and the so-called familiarity with the original work of the Red Chamber is actually not that useful.

Although her thinking consciousness is advanced, the world has neither experienced the baptism of the Western Enlightenment, nor has the trend of thought of Mr. De and Mr. Sai during the Nu Xin Culture Movement emerged.Her concept is too advanced, instead it becomes water without source and tree without roots. Therefore, since she crossed, she hit a wall everywhere and everyone shouted and beat her. Mu, take good care of her everywhere, try to make amends when she goes back, I'm afraid she will die long ago without a place to bury her.

Thinking of this, Yao Jing felt a little apprehensive, and thought of Sun Mu again, feeling rejoiced and grateful in her heart.

Baochai didn't know what Yao Jing was thinking at this time.Seeing that Yao Jing was silent, she thought she was not sure about treating the imperial concubine's illness, so she sighed inwardly and put the matter on hold.

In fact, Baochai suggested that Yao Jing should go to the palace to heal the imperial concubine. Apart from paving the way for the matter of her daughter Gu, she also had a good intention for the four families of King Jia Shixue.

This imperial concubine has a relationship with the Jia family. It is said that the imperial concubine was born in a poor family back then, and she was able to be drafted into the palace thanks to the strength of the Rongguo Mansion.Now the throne of the Supreme Emperor is given to the current emperor, and the empress dowager is still alive. Although this empress is unable to be crowned in the harem due to her birth, she is still able to speak well by the emperor's side due to her contribution to giving birth to the current emperor. Jia's family She also deserves her care.

In the previous life, after the death of the imperial concubine due to phlegm disease, all the married women of Jia's family went out to guard her spirit. They once shared a courtyard with Princess Beijing.Princess Beijing was modest and cautious, so she insisted on refusing to live in the honorable position on the grounds that the Jia family had an old relationship with the imperial concubine, and she gave up the Dongkua courtyard to the Jia family, and she was only willing to live in the Xikua courtyard.

Later, the Jia family lost power, and Jia's mother died of illness. Daiyu was forced to marry the King of Beijing as a concubine, but Baochai accepted the imperial concubine's order. Failed to save the family's declining fate.

So when Baochai heard that Yao Jing's medical skills were superb, she was moved: If Yao Jing could really cure the Empress Dowager's phlegm disease, maybe the life of Jia and Xue's family would be much easier.

However, the matter of entering the palace for medical treatment, after all, Yao Jing must be confident and willing to agree to it.No one can force this.Seeing that Yao Jing was no longer the same as before, Baochai restrained her arrogance and high-spiritedness, so she naturally assumed that she was unwilling to agree, so she didn't force her, and said with a smile: "In this case, let's discuss it in the long run, and this matter is also a matter of course." Don’t rush for a while, the future will last forever.”

While the two were talking, they saw Li Wan and Sun Mu coming out of the back room one after the other, and it was inconvenient to say anything more at the moment.

Li Wan had just cried a lot, and now he was listless and insisted on leaving. Baochai didn't want to stay with him, so he hurriedly sent him out of the courtyard. When she was a child, Yinger said that Sun Mu had said it before leaving, because Mr. Yao knew that there were some urgent matters in the Wei Zhai shop that had not been dealt with, so there was no time to say goodbye.

Baochai was a bit dumbfounded, knowing in her heart that this must be Yao Jing's idea.This day, she took advantage of Aunt Xue's absence to arrange various things. She originally planned to invite Sun Mu and Yao Jing to have a drink at the same table. She prepared a lot of dishes, but unexpectedly they were not available at all.

It was almost noon, Baochai ordered Yinger and Qianxue to sort these dishes into food boxes and send them to Mammy Zhang and others to enjoy.Ying'er shouted: "Girl, don't always look after others, but forget yourself."

Baochai smiled and said, "Don't worry. I've picked out a few dishes we like to eat and left them here. After a while, you can go to the kitchen to find two good daughters. Hong, let's close the door and have fun for a while." son."

Ying'er heard this and cheered: "There's crab wine again! They don't have a good meal, but it's cheaper for us."

Baochai smiled but did not answer.In an instant, Ying'er came back with two jars of her daughter Hong, and the three masters and servants sent the little maids underground to eat separately, and closed the door to eat at home.

Ying'er kept cheering for the crab wine, but it was actually spring, but it was not the season to eat crabs.Baochai remembers everyone's tastes and preferences clearly, so he reserved a few dishes such as steamed duck fermented with wine, fried artemisia pheasant, and wolfberry sprouts fried with oil and salt, which were both meat and vegetables.Knowing that Ying'er was addicted to alcohol, she ordered the kitchen to fetch bad goose feet and duck letters to serve her wine, but the family just made rice with ham and fresh bamboo shoot soup.

When Qianxue saw it, she smiled and said, "Girl, don't eat this all the time, at least use your chopsticks and drink a few sips of wine."

Baochai shook her head and said: "I don't know why, I just feel that I can't eat rice recently. But this ham and fresh bamboo shoot soup tastes very fresh, and it goes well with rice." In fact, she knew her own affairs from her own family. The whole day was very disturbed, many things in her past life and present life lay in her mind like a mess of clues, how could she have the interest to eat?Even this ham and fresh bamboo shoot soup, I can barely drink a few mouthfuls, so as not to feel dizzy.

Qianxue saw that she was not as muddle-headed as she was before, and thought that she had fully realized, how could she understand her thoughts?He deliberately tried to persuade her to drink, and pretended to be worried: "Since the girl said so, I dare not persuade her deeply. It's just that the daughter Hong, who is the best in these two jars, is going to be let down?"

Baochai smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry. Don't forget that our girl Ying'er is the best drinker. If she drinks ten altars and eight altars, she may just take advantage of her wish."

Ying'er swallowed the wine in her mouth hastily, and said to Baochai, "Young lady knows how to make fun of us." The three of them laughed and made a fuss, and Baochai felt a lot lighter.

After a while, Baochai finished his meal and went to the back room to do needlework, but told Ying'er and Qianxue not to accompany them, but to eat and drink freely, so as not to disappoint the delicious food and wine.Yinger Qianxue agreed.

Baochai was doing needlework in the back room by herself, embroidering a colorful butterfly so lifelike. She had just embroidered half of the butterfly's wings when she suddenly heard the noise outside. After a few glasses of wine, while drunk, he talked about Yao Jing's right and wrong.

Qianxue was overwhelmed with alcohol, she only drank two cups, she felt a little overwhelmed, remembering all kinds of disrespects of Yao Jingren before and after, she said disdainfully: "I often hear people say that grandma got into the maze because of a woman, I still think it is some kind of fairy What about the concubine, she turned out to be like this! There are no outsiders around now, so let me tell you a word of conscience in private, a woman like this is not worthy of being a rough envoy in our Jia's mansion. If you don't understand the rules and get kicked out, how can you match up with grandma? Could it be that someone has cast a spell on you and lost your mind?"

Ying'er vaguely knew that Yao Jing and Nanny Sun were friends.Her female celebrity was taught by Nanny Sun in the past, and the two of them can be regarded as mentors and apprentices.After thinking about it like this, even if Yao Jing has thousands of things wrong, Yinger is too embarrassed to say that she is not good in front of others.Otherwise, could it be that Nanny Sun is blind?

Thinking of this, Ying'er bit the bullet to defend Yao Jing, saying: "Although she doesn't know the rules and manners, but our girl said that, for the sake of Grandma Sun, I don't know as well as her. Besides, the girl also said, Although this man has great ambitions and talents, he is so ambitious, but his ambition is beyond the reach of his daughter's family. What did the girl say back then? No one can take away his ambitions. With such ambitions, there is Sun Nanny supporting him , what will happen in the end, but it's hard to say. You can't underestimate her easily."

Qianxue is actually a straight-tempered person, and she is used to being restrained on weekdays. Today, she vented her anger through some medical treatment, because she said: "Although I say that, there is a threshold anyway. She is so rude, Even the silly elder sister in the old lady's room in this mansion can't compare, no matter how brave you are, this alone is already unforgivable."

Ying'er hurriedly said: "I heard from Xiangling that she is good in front of others, but she behaves properly. I don't know what happened, but she is not at odds with our girl, so we often get awkward when we meet."

Qianxue clapped her hands and said: "That's exactly what's wrong. What kind of person is our girl, how can she be wronged like this? When she sees her, she always smiles and puts a warm face on others. I will help her for us." The girl is not worth it!"

Ying'er shook her head and said: "Our girl must have a plan in mind. You have been with her for so many days, when did you see her suffer? Someone like our uncle accidentally bumped into the girl for a while, and after a while I still think about making amends."

Qianxue sighed and said, "Don't tell me you can't see it? How many wrongs and losses have our girls suffered because of the uncle?"

When Baochai heard this, she was afraid that they would talk about Xue Pan, so she leaned out from the inner room with a busy smile, and said in a loud voice: "Drinking belongs to drinking, why is the voice getting louder? If the people outside I don't know, I thought you two had a dispute."

Ying'er and Qianxue hurriedly stood up and confessed their crimes. Baochai looked at Qianxue first, straightened the messy hair on her forehead, and said with a smile: "I see you are a straightforward person on weekdays. I only think you are with me." Ying'er is also good at drinking, unexpectedly after just a few drinks, the face is full of pimples. Fortunately, I asked the kitchen to make sour soup, you should drink a few more bowls, so you can wake up after a while."

Qianxue lowered her head and only looked at her own toes, and responded in a low voice.

Baochai said to Ying'er again, "You too. Normally, I think you are fine. How come you talk about your master after only a few glasses of wine? This mansion is no better than Jinling's hometown. What you say behind your back can be passed on." Go all over the two streets of the Second Mansion of Rongning, and I have always told you to be careful in your words and deeds, have you forgotten?"

The crime of falsely talking about the master is not a small one.Both Qianxue and Ying'er broke out in a cold sweat, and were about to kneel down to confess their crimes. Baochai's eyes were so sharp that she grabbed her hand and said with a smile: "I was just trying to fool you, so I can't be serious. What kind of people are you in ordinary times?" , don’t I know? If it’s someone who talks nonsense, they won’t treat each other like this. There is only one thing, I heard it clearly in the back room, it was originally about Mr. Yao, how to say it, Let’s talk about my brother, isn’t it getting further and further away?”
