The Red Mansion's Traversal Raiders

Qingwen spread a piece of handkerchief on the table, and deftly peeled the chestnuts with her slender fingers.I saw a small pile of chestnut shells on the left side and chestnut kernels on the right side of the light yellow veil, "Aren't you going to the kitchen? Why are you standing still and feeling dumbfounded?"

"Just now in the carriage, didn't you say you were going to visit the garden?" Xi Ren said, "If you don't go now, you won't have time."

"Forget it, I just remembered that I visited once before, and it's no different from ours." Qingwen said bored.

"Forget it, then I'm leaving." Xiren sighed in relief.

For Qingwen's words, she probably doesn't need to pull her away... Although she hasn't been in contact with Qingwen for a long time, Xiren can also tell that Qingwen has an upright personality and a bright personality, even if there is such a ready-made opportunity , and will never do such a thing.

Besides, in the original book, Qingwen has the best relationship with Baoyu, but before Qingwen died, both of them were innocent.Xiren believes that today's Qingwen will not violate her principles.

As for Musk Moon, if she can successfully climb Baoyu's bed, it may not be a bad thing for Xiren.

Although in a short period of time, the struggle for power in Baoyu's room will inevitably resurface again, but in the long run, there is such a ready-made target standing in front of him, attracting the eyes of Jiamu and Mrs. Wang, diverting the jealousy of the maids in the room, and attacking her. People should be happy together.

Xiren no longer hesitated, turned and walked out the door.

Since he pointed to the kitchen as an excuse, Xiren couldn't come back empty-handed after a while, so he asked the direction and walked towards the kitchen.

The scenery of Ningguo Mansion is good, with painted railings and painted buildings, pavilions, towers and pavilions, Xiren walks and sees all the way, and the mood is relaxed.After walking to the Chuihua Gate, Xiren saw Jin Chuan coming from the cave gate in the northeast corner.

"Okay, but I caught you being lazy!" Jin Chuan joked.

"How dare I!" Xiren said seriously, "In the past few days, every time Baoyu wakes up from lunch break, he likes to eat a bowl of cool fruit drink with some delicious noodles. If I don't Get ready, this master can annoy me for a whole day."

"Really?" Jin Chuan had a look of disbelief, "Don't come to coax me, an honest person, if you act like a baby, can Baoyu really annoy you?"

"Sure enough, you are also blinded by his gentle and considerate demeanor." Xiren shook his head, as if he loved to believe it or not.

The two joked all the way, and when they came to the kitchen door, the attacker asked, "Baoyu was sleeping at my place, so I got a free time. Why did you come out too? Could it be that the banquet in front has ended?"

"No." Jin Chuan shook his head, "My wife is not feeling well, so I resigned from the table and went to the wing to rest. I'm going to the kitchen to pass some soup."

"If my wife is ill, it's time to tell the imperial physician. The Ning Rong family are not outsiders, so why should my wife hold back?" Xiren looked worried and concerned, but he thought in his heart that Mrs. Wang left the meeting early. Shi is dirty and wants to save her face?

"It's not a big deal, after all, my wife doesn't want to cause trouble for the master's family." Jin Chuan said vaguely.

"My wife is kind." Xiren echoed, with a ignorant expression on his face.Although she had doubts in her heart, she couldn't keep asking.

At the door of the kitchen, Xiren was a step behind and let Jin Chuan go in first.Jin Chuan is not too polite, although Jin Chuan is not as good as Xi Ren as the consul's maid, but she is the servant of Mrs. Wang, so Xi Ren naturally has to avoid it.

Jin Chuan entered the kitchen, and the cooks rushed over immediately.Although they are servants of Ningguo Mansion, the two mansions are close to each other. Not only is the master on good terms, but most of the servants are also related to each other. Jin Chuan is well-known in Rongguo Mansion, so naturally he is very popular in Ningguo Mansion.

"Miss Jin Chuan, what are the master's orders?" Sister-in-law Liu, who was in charge of the kitchen, hurried forward and wiped her hands on her apron.

"Our wife wants a red bean and lotus seed soup, and the master is waiting for it. Please hurry up, sister-in-law Liu." Jin Chuan was very polite.

"Understood, girl, sit down for a while, and I'll order someone to start doing it." Sister-in-law Liu smiled courteously, and then instructed the maids to move a place for Jin Chuan, and served hot tea and snacks.

"You are busy, don't worry about me." Jin Chuan was not in a hurry to go back, and really sat down and waited leisurely.

Sister-in-law Liu ordered Mrs. Deng, who was in charge of soup, to make the soup, then turned around and greeted Xi Ren with a courteous expression, "I don't know what Miss Xi Ren wants?"

"It's not something exquisite, just a fruit drink and a few dishes of noodles." Xi Ren said.

"There are many kinds of new fruits that came in today, may I have a look at which one is good?" Mrs. Liu wiped off her sweat. This kind of seemingly ordinary fruit is actually the most exquisite craftsmanship, especially Bao Erye is famously picky Master.

"Alright." Xiren knew that Sister-in-law Liu was in trouble, but he just pretended not to see it.

I don't know how long Baoyu will sleep this time. Xiren will spend time in the kitchen until Baoyu wakes up and tidies up before going back.So the more cautious Mrs. Liu's attitude is, the better, and the more refined the dessert and fruit drink is, the better.

Anyway, sister-in-law Liu is only worried for a while, and she won't really hurt her muscles.

The Xiren faction selected the fruits carefully, and gave Baoyu's usual dietary characteristics in a serious manner.Sister-in-law Liu didn't let others intervene, rolled up her sleeves, and went straight to it herself!

Jin Chuan has always only served Mrs. Wang, and has done his job well, and does not touch any other tasks.

Therefore, when Xiren carefully listed more than a dozen requirements of Baoyu, such as not too sweet, not too fluffy, not covered with sesame seeds in syrup... Jin Chuan listened to it at first, and only thought Xiren was joking.

But after hearing the latter, Jin Chuan finally believed that Xiren really wasn't just talking about it.Because no matter how quick-witted Xiren is, he would never come up with such a weird and tricky request.

"In the past, I underestimated you!" Jin Chuan looked sympathetic, "You are really good at serving this ancestor!"

"It's our duty to serve the master well." Xiren smiled.

"You're very self-restraining." Jin Chuan also smiled.

The two have different positions, so Xiren naturally wouldn't follow Jin Chuan's words and say that Baoyu is eccentric and difficult to serve, otherwise she might be the first to sell Xiren to Mrs. Wang, Jin Chuan.

Jin Chuan also knew the reason, so he only made fun of a few words, and then put it aside.

Cook Deng was instructing a little maid to peel lotus seeds in front of her. After Xiren saw it, she casually said to Jin Chuan, "It's winter, and there are such fresh lotus seeds under the kitchen. This comprador can also be called a supernatural power."

"What does it have to do with compradors?" Jin Chuan put down his teacup and couldn't help laughing, "It was sent from the old house in Jinling, and I don't know how to store it in a cellar, but it's very easy."

"That's it." Xiren suddenly said, "Second Lord has never ordered this kind of soup, but I don't know that there is a story in it."

"Baoyu order this kind of soup?" Jin Chuan covered his mouth and kept laughing.

"What's the matter?" Xiren couldn't help being stunned when he saw Jin Chuan laughing so hard, was there any humor in these words?

Seeing Xiren's bewildered look, Jin Chuan had no choice but to press his stomach, hold back a smile, and leaned into Xiren's ear, "You don't understand, red bean and lotus seed soup is specially made for women to replenish qi and blood, Baoyu Ruo If you click it, wouldn't it be a big joke in the world?"

Only then did Xiren understand, and he could only shake his head and laugh.

Thinking about it this way, when Mrs. Wang went to the back hall to watch the play just now, she probably had unbearable abdominal pain, so she left the show.And Sheyue, who followed after her, didn't have a good face, maybe it wasn't because Mrs. Wang deliberately snubbed her, but because this girl was really unlucky...

Xiren and Jin Chuan chatted and waited. In the end, everything was done together.

Both of them are big maids with face, so of course they don't bother them with such errands as carrying the food box.Sister-in-law Liu beckoned to the outside kitchen, "Qingsui, Maisui, you two come here and deliver the things to the two girls."

Jin Chuan didn't refuse either, and stuffed a purse over, "Sister Lao Liu is here."

This is also a common practice, Liu sister-in-law took it with a smile, "It should be, if the second wife tastes well, just order it again."

Jin Chuan and Sister-in-law Liu were polite to each other, Xiren waited boredly, opened the food box, and a refreshing fruity fragrance hit, Xiren couldn't help but praised, "Sister-in-law Liu is really good at craftsmanship! It’s not vulgar, if you taste it, won’t you be so greedy that you will bite your tongue off?”

"Girl, why don't you give it a try and give me some advice?" Auntie Liu couldn't help but feel complacent, this is her housekeeping skill.

"With Mrs. Liu as an expert, I don't dare to be ashamed." Xiren laughed again, closed the lid, and handed over a purse, "Please trouble Mrs. Liu to cook for herself, this is not a respect. Just invite Mrs. Liu to have a drink."

"Miss is too polite, it's our duty." Sister-in-law Liu gave way, but her hands were not slow at all to pick up the things.

Jin Chuan and Xi Ren didn't delay any longer, each took a maid and went back separately.

Xiren pinched his fingers and counted the time. Even if Baoyu dawdled, it was almost time to finish.Finally avoiding this embarrassing incident, Xiren patted his chest, and his face calmed down.
