The Royal Merchant of the Red Chamber
Chapter 172
After the dishes were ready, Xue Pan got up, and brought the candied sweet potatoes and almond corn soup that he specially ordered for the two children to the two little princes, and said with a smile: "Although the royal chef in the palace is very skilled in cooking, but because My personal preference, the beets in Fuyuan Restaurant are more delicate than those in other places. You can try it for now and see if it suits your taste.”
Tu Xuan and Tu Yang both nodded, picked up the chopsticks and put the beets in the bone plate in front of them, savoring them carefully.
After a while, he raised his head and said with a smile, "It's delicious."
"Just eat it if you like it." Xue Pan stroked the tops of the two princes' hair, and said to other people, "You guys can eat it too. These are the most classic dishes of Fuyuan Restaurant, which are not found anywhere else."
"It's true that Wang Po is selling melons and boasting. I don't believe that the food here is better than ours?" Tu Huang had to choke with Xue Pan, then picked up the chopsticks and put a bite of sweet and sour pork ribs on the table. in the bowl.
Seeing this, Xue Pan pouted and teased, "I thought you'd grown up, but you also like sweets."
Tu Huang was very annoyed when he heard the sound, and immediately retorted: "Who hasn't grown up, I just want to see if your food here is better than our cook's."
Xue Pan pretended to be enlightened, and said, "It turns out that the cook in your house is best at cooking sweet and sour pork ribs!"
After finishing speaking, he looked at Tu Huang narrowly.A look that you still refuse to admit.
Tu Huang was furious, and he retorted: "The cooks in our house are good at everything, not just this one dish."
"I didn't say anything?" Xue Pan shrugged his shoulders pretending not to care, and asked casually: "Generally, a master who can make sweet and sour dishes is not too late to make braised dishes."
Tu Huang casually said: "That's natural. The braised elbow in our house is the most delicious——"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly regained his composure, stared at Xue Pan with phoenix eyes and said angrily, "You idiot Xue!"
"Haha, you two!" Tu Juan couldn't help shaking his head, and said with a light smile, "Hurry up and accept it! Be careful not to make jokes of the juniors."
As he said that, he specifically looked at the two little princes who were staring blankly.
Tu Huang blushed, hummed twice, and said, "Young master is not as knowledgeable as you."
After laughing for a while, everyone collected their thoughts.Start to eat food slowly.
As the atmosphere slowly settled down, Prince Zhongdun's eyes staring at Lin Mozhi eagerly became more and more conspicuous.Everyone shook their heads at the same time to look at it, pondered for a while, Xue Pan coughed abruptly, and asked with a smile: "What is the age of Prince Zhongdun this year, is there a marriage?"
Everyone's face darkened, and they glanced at Xue Pan with contempt.
You are still young, even if everyone knows that you don't have much ink in your stomach, there is no need to "joke" like this!
Tu Huang chuckled, and was about to start making fun of it, when Prince Zhong Dun said solemnly: "I'm Tu Fan, the seventh eldest, 25 years old, unmarried."
After finishing speaking, he stared at Lin Mozhi with burning eyes, and asked, "Where is Mrs. Lin?"
Lin Mozhi raised his head in astonishment, completely unaware of how the topic turned to his head.But Xue Pan still smiled and said: "His name is Mo Zhier, he is three years older than me, and he is not married. Everyone is single!"
A gleam flashed in Prince Zhongdun's eyes, and he said casually, "Yes, yes!"
After hesitating for a moment, Prince Zhongdun tentatively said, "Teacher Lin is from Jiangnan, right? But he is from Yangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River. I look familiar to Taifu."
"Mo Zhi'er is the son of Yanzheng Lin Ruhai, the champion of the three subjects. The government and the public know about this matter." Xue Pan glanced at Prince Zhongdun, and said with a smile: "I remember that the prince always likes to play around and indulge in mountains and rivers. Have you been to Yangzhou too?"
Prince Zhongdun nodded and replied, "I've been."
While speaking, his gaze was fixed on Lin Mozhi.Lin Mozhi frowned uncomfortably.When Prince Zhongdun saw this, he felt more and more familiar in his heart, and couldn't help asking: "May I ask Taifu Lin if he knows a man named Lin Ziqiao?"
Xue Pan was startled, and subconsciously looked back at Lin Mozhi.In the whole world, he is the only one who knows that Lin Mozhi was called Lin Ziqiao in his previous life.
But Lin Mozhi shook his head indifferently, and said softly, "I've never heard of it."
Prince Zhongdun nodded suspiciously, and still stared at Lin Mozhi with good eyes.Such an abrupt and bewildered move gave Tu Huang and Tu Tun a headache.
However, Xue Pan lost his patience and continued to ask because of his name. He just asked Lin Mozhi to eat food non-stop.
"Eat more, you are already skinny, and you have lost weight recently. Standing with me, I look very fat. This is not good!"
And Prince Zhongdun didn't interrupt anymore, just watched Lin Mozhi silently, drinking a glass of wine and eating two mouthfuls of food from time to time.The weird attitude made Tu Huang and Tu Tie somewhat puzzled.I don't know what is going on in his mind.
A meal was finished in this weird atmosphere, regardless of whether the stomach hurts or not, after dinner, everyone smiled and exchanged greetings, and then dispersed.
Xue Pan and Lin Mozhi sent Tu Xuan and Tu Yang back to the palace, and then turned back to their own mansion.
On the way, Xue Pan pointedly smiled and said, "Prince Zhongdun is quite interesting."
Lin Mozhi was silent.
Xue Pan shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "I just think so! People can't hang themselves on the same tree with a crooked neck. Looking forward, there is more hope ahead."
Lin Mozhi still didn't speak.
Xue Pan said to himself: "I don't know what the temperament of this Prince Zhong Dun is. But I think he always stares at you with a look of cannibalism. He didn't know you before, did he?" Lin Mozhi Still do not speak.
The more Lin Mozhi remained silent, the more the fire of gossip burned in Xue Pan's heart. He moved his body, moved closer to Lin Mozhi, and asked in a low voice, "How did he know Lin Ziqiao's name?"
Lin Mozhi pondered for a moment, then suddenly sighed softly: "I have no impression."
Xue Pan: "???"
Lin Mozhi repeated with a serious face: "I really have no impression. I have never revealed anything about my previous life to anyone except you."
"Then how did he know?" Xue Pan rubbed his chin suspiciously, his curiosity growing.
Lin Mozhi didn't bother to pay attention to him, and when the carriage arrived at the gate of his house, he immediately raised the curtain and got out of the carriage.Xue Pan leaned against the window and raised his voice and said: "Don't forget to go to my house for dinner on Mid-Autumn Festival."
Lin Mozhi waved his hands without looking back, and stepped into the Lin mansion.Xue Pan stared at the empty gate, sighed lightly, and said, "Go home!"
There was nothing to say all the way, and I went back to Zhongxin Hou's mansion.As soon as he got off the car, the housekeeper Yao Bin immediately came forward and said in a low voice, "Second Master Bao from Rongguo Mansion is here."
Xue Pan's round almond eyes widened in astonishment, and he subconsciously asked, "It's so late, what is he doing here?"
"I don't know. But he brought a sick little girl with him, and he made it clear that he was looking for the young master." Yao Bin said, and added in a low voice: "That girl is very beautiful. In the middle of it, but it's a monster, I see that the second master Bao is very interested in her."
As he said that, he leaned closer to Xue Pan's ear, gossiping: "I specially asked the boy at the door and Mingyan next to Second Master Bao to find out. , I am very proud of it on weekdays. I just don’t know what mistake I made now, and I was kicked out by the second wife.”
Xue Pan was startled, and immediately asked, "Where's the person?"
"It's all in the uncle's yard! I'm afraid Hongxiu Tianxiang is serving the two big girls now. The girl who was kicked out by the Rongguo Mansion, I asked Bitao to lead her to rest in the room for a while, and I have the right to ask the uncle to make serious decisions."
Xue Pan waved his hand annoyedly, "Depending on how he decides, I'll be serious if I meet Baoyu first."
As he said that, he didn't even bother to go to Ruirong Hall to greet Xue and his wife, and hurriedly rushed to Wenrou Township.
Sure enough, when he entered the courtyard, he saw Jia Baoyu wandering around the main hall impetuously.Xue Pan immediately went forward and asked, "What's wrong with your house? I heard you brought Qingwen to our house?"
Jia Baoyu's eyes lit up, and he ran out immediately, grabbed Xue Pan's sleeve, and said in a crying voice: "Brother Xue, you must help me, and take Qingwen into custody for two days. If you can't help me, I'm afraid Qingwen is waiting to die!"
Xue Pan had a headache, so he reached out and patted Jia Baoyu's shoulder, signaling him to calm down first, and asked casually, "What's going on?"
Jia Baoyu shook his head and sighed softly, coughed a little uncomfortably, and said coyly: "Last night, my wife took a team of women in charge to lock all the corner doors in various courtyards, and searched into each room. Check. It is said that there is something important missing, and it is suspected that the hands and feet of the family members are not clean. So let's check it together and go to doubt."
When Jia Baoyu said this, he couldn't help complaining, "The result is not only the softness of the maids and women, but even our cages have been turned upside down."
Xue Pan's heart is like a mirror, knowing that what Jia Baoyu said should be copying and inspecting the Grand View Garden.Quickly asked: "But Qingwen stole that thing, was found out?"
What he said was just for nothing, just to let Baoyu take over.Sure enough, Jia Baoyu stomped her feet angrily, and said in a hateful voice: "Qingwen is the most glorious, how can she be such a character. If she is really like that, I won't admire her."
"Then what happened to him and her?"
Jia Baoyu said: "My wife led people to copy things. The rest of the people are fine. Even if they have objections, they are still strict and obedient. Only Qingwen has always been strong. It seems that she was tortured in front of my wife before." What a grievance. The wife asked her to check her box, but she didn't allow anyone else to do it. She opened the box with a bang and dumped out all the contents. The wife said that she behaved frivolously and had resentment in her heart, and that she couldn't tolerate such high spirits. Girl, I want to send people out."
When Jia Baoyu said this, he became more and more depressed. "That Qingwen is usually arrogant and indulgent. How have I ever heard such a thing? She even said that she is a member of the old lady's house, and the wife has no right to send her away. If she sends someone away, she should also ask. It was the old lady in the upper room. The wife got angry and said that I didn't believe that I couldn't get rid of a maid, so she ordered the old woman to beat Qingwen fifty times in the name of contradicting her master, and then sent Qingwen overnight I kicked him out of the garden. I really had no other choice, so I took him over this morning, and asked my elder brother to help me take him in for a while."
Xue Pan sighed helplessly, pulled Jia Baoyu to sit down at the table, poured him a bowl of herbal tea, shook his head and sighed: "What's the matter with your family? After two days, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival How can there be any reason to evict people at this moment? What's more, Qingwen is still in the old lady's house, and it was Tete who pointed it out to you. Is it justified to embarrass the old lady for nothing?"
"That's what I told my wife. But my wife is angry, so I don't dare to persuade her." Jia Baoyu said, beating his legs with his hands more and more frustrated. "I don't even dare to tell my ancestors. I'm afraid she will get angry and become angry instead. Isn't that our unfilial piety?"
Xue Pan no longer wants to comment on the various strange things about the Jia family.He just frowned and said, "You want to put Qingwen with me, isn't that justified? That's your personal maid."
What's the matter with me?
Jia Baoyu wrinkled her steamed bun face, thought for a while, and said, "How about putting it next to Sister Bao—"
"That's even worse. My sister is going to get married in May next year. It's hard to say that she will marry the big girl in your house to someone else's house!"
"Then put him next to Auntie?" Jia Baoyu sighed softly and said tentatively.
"This..." Xue Pan fell silent.
Jia Baoyu said beseechingly: "I can't help it. Qingwen lost her parents since she was a child, and it was Grandma Lai who gave her to the old lady. Although she has a brother and sister-in-law at home, she doesn't like her too much. .If they are really allowed to take him back, I am afraid that Qingwen will not be far from death."
After a pause, he added: "It's only two days. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will explain the reason to the old lady, and if it doesn't work, I will send him back to the old lady's house—if it doesn't work, I will take him back to Yunnan." ,. It's only two days of work, please help me, big brother. It's right to save a life!
Xue Pan knew this without Jia Baoyu telling him.In the original book, Qingwen died of illness shortly after being expelled from the Grand View Garden.
Thinking of this, Xue Pan only sighed softly, and said as if he was unlucky: "That's it! I'll talk to my mother first, and if she agrees, I will put him in front of her for two days. But you I have to tell Qingwen carefully, our Hou Mansion has strict rules, and the servants cannot compare with your Rongguo Mansion in every move. Don't even think about talking back to the masters, even if you scold the servants casually, it is beyond the rules. If it’s not good, you’ll be punished.”
Jia Baoyu was overjoyed when he heard the words, nodded his head and said: "Don't worry, big brother, I will definitely tell Qingwen well, and I will never let big brother make things difficult."
"You brought someone to our house, you made me embarrassed. If the wife of your house gets news in the future, I don't know what to think of my mother!" Xue Pan complained casually, and asked Jia Baoyu: "You go up Be careful, I will only save it for you after the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Jia Baoyu immediately nodded in response.
Shaking his head, Xue Pan led Jia Baoyu to Rongqing Hall to greet Mrs. Xue.Due to the sudden attack by the king of Nan'an County, there are many affairs in the court now, and Xue Zhizhang often does not come back until midnight.Naturally, he is not in the mansion at the moment.Xue Pan told Mrs. Xue about Qingwen in front of Jia Baoyu.Mrs. Xue frowned. In fact, she didn't have a good impression of Qingwen, she just felt that this girl acted quite frivolously because of her color.Furthermore, Mrs. Wang kicked him out. After all, Mrs. Wang is also her sister. Now, because of a girl who can't get on the stage, I have to confront Mrs. Wang... It can't be justified.
Just looking at Jia Baoyu's miserable begging in front of him, and Xue Pan next to him beating the side drum from time to time, saying that it would only take a day or two.Mrs. Xue loves her son dearly and never goes against his will.Seeing this shape, he had no choice but to rub his temples, nodded and said: "Okay, I'll leave him in the mansion for three to five days. But it's only for three to five days, you can deal with it as soon as possible." I can't let our sisters have two children because of a girl, can I?"
Jia Baoyu nodded excitedly, and said, "Don't worry, Auntie, I won't make things difficult for you."
Tu Xuan and Tu Yang both nodded, picked up the chopsticks and put the beets in the bone plate in front of them, savoring them carefully.
After a while, he raised his head and said with a smile, "It's delicious."
"Just eat it if you like it." Xue Pan stroked the tops of the two princes' hair, and said to other people, "You guys can eat it too. These are the most classic dishes of Fuyuan Restaurant, which are not found anywhere else."
