Edge of the Red Chamber

Just as I was talking, I heard a "bang" over there, and then I saw a one-foot-high round-bellied crystal glass bottle "Gulu Gulu" rolling out. the wall.It was a glass orchid bottle, with clusters of orchid grass on the bottle, as fresh as the real thing.

Grandma Xu immediately put down her face, got up and walked over there.Seeing the situation inside, I couldn't laugh or cry.

Xu Jing had already been held by a big girl, and now she was tearing at a peacock tail feather, while his nurse was persuading her, Daiyu held a handful and sent it to him, saying: " Let him know what it is worth." Xu Jing became more and more excited, lost the peacock feather, and went to reach for a blue and white flat bottle on the top of the shelf. The flat bottle was one foot long and wide, but only two inches high, which was extremely rare.

Lu Huishan took another look, and found that there was a lot of space under the shelf, and those fragile things were moved to a higher place, so she stopped Xu Jing immediately, and scolded the nurse who followed her, saying: "He is young and doesn't know what to do, and you don't know how to persuade him." Hold on."

Xu Jing was also clever, as soon as he heard his mother's voice, he immediately turned around, and he didn't want the bottle anymore, and stretched out his two hands, smilingly begging his mother to hug him.

Lu Huishan's anger dissipated in an instant, hugged him in her arms, nodded his brows helplessly, and sighed: "You little thing, you can just let you do everything at home, and you don't know how to calm down at your aunt's house." Son, let's see who wants you to come over next time."

Lu Huixian followed in, listened to the words, and said with a smile: "I'd rather not have your mother come, but our brother Jing, right?"

While talking, he went up to meet Xu Jing and saw that Xu Jing's forehead was full of sweat, so he said, "I'm afraid my body is also wet with sweat." Then he called the girl to boil water, and then turned back to look at Zhang Feng'e and Lin Daiyu, and saw that they were both full of sweat. With sweat all over his head, he said again: "Tell the girls to bring your clothes, and you have to change too, so you don't catch a cold."

Zhang Feng'e said, "Go back and change in a while."

Lu Huixian had already sent Hong Kao and Liu Li back. Hearing the words, she said with a smile: "The cold wind blows, and I get sick later. See how I laugh at you when you argue and refuse to take that bitter medicine."

Lin Daiyu and Zhang Feng'e had finished changing their clothes, and before Xu Jing had finished washing, Lu Huishan wanted to go in and look at it, because she said, "I'm afraid I'm too stubborn to come out again."

Lu Huixian knew that she was worried about catching a cold after a long time, so she also went in.Sure enough, I saw Xu Jing sitting in the water basin, happy, surrounded by nurses and two maids, their heads and bodies were covered with water, and the ground was so wet that there was nowhere to put their feet, they couldn't laugh or cry, and hurriedly said: "This is for you. Flooding the Seven Kingdoms, get up quickly, we are here, you all go and change your clothes." Mother Ji hurriedly led three or four maidservants to come forward to serve, and the three went to change clothes.

After being stubborn all morning, when he got dressed and came out, Xu Jing became a little lazy, nestled in the maid's arms, refusing to move, yawning after yawning, begging for his mother.Lu Huishan took it and patted it in her arms, but fell asleep after a while, so she sent his nanny to carry him to the Nuan Pavilion.

Suddenly a woman came up to ask for food, Lu Huishan said to ask the old lady first, Lu Huixian was about to send someone over when Muyu came over, and Lu Huixian said, "Just about to send someone over."

Muyu invited Ann and said: "The old lady is still a god, and she sent me here because she thought that my aunt would be polite, and it was true." Then she saluted Grandma Xu and said, "The old lady said that we are all one family. My aunt doesn't need to talk heresy, just take care of my brother. In such a cold day, I'm afraid my brother can't stand it." Then she said to Lu Huixian: "If my aunt is being polite, it must be because my grandma didn't greet her well."

Lu Huishan got up and listened before sitting down again, and said, "I'm a thick-skinned person. There are a few younger sisters talking with me here, and there are people serving food and drink. I've forgotten how to write the word polite."

"It's all from my own family, as it should be," said Muyu, and said to Zhang Feng'e and Lin Daiyu: "The girls don't have to go there after eating, they just hang out here with Grandma."

It is only because Zhang Feng'e must accompany the old lady for an hour every day after lunch, or chant scriptures, or count Buddha beans, and sometimes Daiyu also goes there, so it is said.

Because Lu Huixian was staying with Muyu for dinner, Muyu said she wanted to go back, and Mother Ji said, "It's so hard for you to come here, and it's such a cold day, so you have to drink a bowl of hot soup to warm up before you go."

Muyu refused, so she stayed, and Lu Huixian ordered the little girl to move the chair to sit on her, but Muyu refused, so Xi'er came over and pulled her over, walking away, saying: "I'm busy these days, I haven't seen each other all the time, so I'll have a good time talking today." Because he pointed to the outside, he saw a few faces that he knew were Lu Huishan's maids, and greeted them with a smile.

Here Lu Huixian asked the old lady's food, and Lin Hai and the others' food outside, seeing that they were all in order, she sent that person away, and then said to Lu Huishan, "If that's the case, use it here."

Hongluo asked where it was placed, and Lu Huixian said, "It's just us, so we put it in this room? The place is narrow, but I always feel warmer in my heart."

Lu Huishan said: "I'm also lazy, you say this is here, where can I not eat?" Then said: "Still have this temper."

This is a small outdoor hall, where Lu Huixian rests from her usual fatigue, and she meets guests in the side hall or the hall outside.It's just that Grandma Xu came, because she is a close relative's sister, so she can speak here.

Lu Huixian has liked exquisite and small objects since she was a child, and the same is true for the house.

The servant girls in the underground were busy setting up the tables and chairs, and Lu Huishan asked Lu Huishan to sit on the top chair, so Lu Huishan smiled and said, "I'll enjoy it for a while too." After that, she sat down on the north side without giving in.

Zhang Feng'e and Lin Daiyu accompanied each other from left to right. Lu Huixian entered the soup in person and wanted to hold a meal, but Lu Huishan grabbed her and said, "I'm not an outsider, so I just want to put on a show in front of my sisters. I really want you to serve me." Sit down quickly." Then she called the two big girls who came with her, and said, "Hurry up and pull your aunt and grandma over." When Zhang Feng'e and Lin Daiyu heard the words "make a show", they couldn't help themselves.

When Lu Huixian heard this, she was also amused, and said: "You should do the same in front of your sisters, and you won't be afraid that they will laugh at you."

Lu Huishan said: "Don't compare them to you, and you won't laugh at me again."

Daiyu then said, "We're all one family, as it should be." Then he asked, "Do you want to call Brother Jing up for dinner?"

Lu Huishan said: "No need, he's only going to sleep now, and he refuses to eat when he wakes up, which makes us restless."

Daiyu pointed to the pheasant soup and said, "This is good, leave a bowl for him."

Nanny Ji accompanied Xu Jing's nanny to eat at the table beside her. When she heard this, she said, "I also said that's good. The dates are from the Northeast. They are big and sweet. This soup is also sweet. It's already delicious." Tell the kitchen to keep it, and the girls and grandmas will eat more too."

After the meal, a few people chatted and laughed for a while, and Xu Jing woke up.

Seeing the hustle and bustle here, Muyu came in and said he wanted to go back.It happened that Qingniao made milk tofu and brought it in. Lu Huixian said to bring a bowl to the old lady, afraid that the road would be cold again.After thinking about it for a while, she asked the girl to find a high-waisted glass bottle, and she ordered someone to fetch a flower urn. When the milk tofu was ready, she filled the flower urn with boiling water so that the glass bottle could be put in. Muyu said: "That's good too. I don't even need to use the box. It will be warmer if I hug it back like this."

Hongluo found another gown that she had worn out, picked it up in a hurry, and said, "Don't think it's not hot now, after a while, the heat will come out, and it will be hot. With this , is also better."

Everything was ready, and the blue bird immediately became hot. After Xu Jing put on his clothes and rinsed his mouth, the milk tofu was ready, and Hong Luo went to deliver the wooden fish without mentioning it.

Blue Bird took a jasper and lotus-leaf bowl and said: "This bowl belongs to Master Xu," and there were four other small bowls of blue and white lotus flowers, which belonged to Lu Huixian and the four of them. Try it, it's not too light."

Grandma Lu Huishan took a sip with a silver spoon and said, "It's neither sweet nor greasy, and the taste is just right." A maid handed a purse to Qingniao, but Qingniao refused to accept it, saying, "It's my aunt's honor to show you face." , how can I get another reward."

Lu Huixian then said: "You take what is rewarded to you." Qingniao Fang took the purse.

Nabi Lu Huishan asked with a smile, "Where's yours?" Then he said: "Borrowed my sister's girl to use it, you'll lose face, and you won't have a good word to say?"

Daiyu then said, "My girl is the same as sister Xian's."

Lu Huishan said: "If so, it should be rewarded."

The red-faced conch has already brought out a string of money, handed it to the blue bird, and said: "My dear sister, you can invite us when you get the money."

Lu Huishan then said: "The money hasn't been sent out yet, so I'll ask for it back. What's the money for?" After that, she said to Qingniao: "They bullied you because of their age. In the past, that's all. I saw it, and I must give you a sigh of relief."

"When did it ever happen?" Hongluo said aggrievedly, and then said: "She has this skill, she has coaxed us a lot on weekdays, but she only thinks that we have coaxed her money? We can't say that we have offended her. Looking back, think about something, but who to turn to?"

Lu Huishan couldn't help laughing, and said: "I just said one sentence, and she has ten sentences waiting. I don't know where Mom found this girl. It can be seen that Mom still loves you a little bit. Those of us, don't you?" If the gourd needles that have been sawn in the mouth can't pierce a word, then they are stupid."

Lu Huixian said: "You still say that after you got a good son, I don't agree."

Mother Ji smiled and said: "My grandmas, don't talk about it, no matter which one, the wife is still in the same pain. If you talk about it again, I am afraid that the uncle will say that the wife favors the grandmas again, what can people say? "

Zhang Feng'e and Lin Daiyu ate milk tofu slowly, listening to the bickering between them, feeling very unhappy.They had only eaten half a bowl, and Xu Jing's bowl had already run out, and he was clamoring for more, but his nanny didn't dare to teach him to eat more.The kitchen brought over half a bowl of porridge with minced meat, a bowl of rice, and three dishes, one with minced meat and white song tofu, one with crystal elbow, one with leek egg pancake, and a bowl of chicken soup, to coax him into using it.

Xu Jing's childish nature, seeing these things, immediately threw the milk tofu to Java.After eating that bowl of milk tofu, my stomach is already full.Asking for it, in fact, I can't eat much.I gave up the porridge after two sips, and I didn’t even try a sip of the two dishes, but I ate a small dish of egg pancakes with leeks, but I gave up the chicken soup after one sip.

"He really likes this." After hearing this, Grandma Xu said, "He just likes these gorgeous colors. He even picks these colors when he eats. I don't know what's wrong with him. Fortunately, he didn't catch that box on his first birthday." Rouge, otherwise, our lord can't like it so much." After finishing speaking, he just remembered that the son of Rongguo Mansion who was born with the title of jade just grabbed the rouge hairpin, and seeing that Daiyu's face had no difference, he thought she didn't know, so he did too. I just didn't know, smiled and said something else.

Although the old lady explained in the afternoon that Lu Huishan had dinner at Lu Huixian's place, she still went to the old lady's room once, greeted her, and wentssip with her for a while, then she said goodbye and went back. Hit the horse and send it to Xu's mansion.

As soon as Lu Huishan left, Zhang Feng'e chatted with the old lady and then left.Lu Huixian and Lin Daiyu sent Lu Huishan off, and Lu Huixian sent Daiyu back. The two sisters-in-law and sister-in-law talked about what happened in Jia's mansion. Seeing that it was already dark outside and the wind was blowing again, fearing that the road would be difficult at night, they told the girl The mother-in-law went back to rest and didn't mention it.
