Edge of the Red Chamber

Lin Jun didn't care about talking to Daiyu, and urged Cui Jiayi several times.

The green one is slightly salty with a sweet taste and a cool mint taste; the pink one is sweet, smelling it close, and has a faint floral fragrance; the yellow one is sweet and sour, with The peanuts are salty.

The three of them tasted a few, but they didn't like it very much. They still liked the salty, spicy and sweet one, so they all only said "yes".Lin Jun saw that they didn't like them very much, but she couldn't tell, so she picked an orange-red one and said with a smile, "Actually, I only like this one."

For a while, the maid came up to remove the fruit plate and tea bowl, and served the wine and dishes.The wine was served in a glass bottle with a big belly and a slender neck. The red color of rouge was exposed without any cover, and it was served with a multicolored glazed square bucket.Hongxiao stepped forward to hold the bottle, first poured a cup with Yingchun, followed by Tanchun Xichun, then Cui Jiayi, then Lin Jun, and finally Lin Daiyu.

Rouge-like wine, paired with multi-colored glass, the brilliance flows, and it is indescribably beautiful.

Tanchun smiled and said, "This wine is good, and this glazed bucket is even better."

Daiyu then said, "We're still drinking seriously, it's just a joke."

Xichun asked, "Is it wine?"

Daiyu said: "But it's not. It's also fruit wine, cherry wine. It was brewed last year."

Cui Jiayi said: "It's true, the color of the wine is darker than it, not as bright." She also said: "If it is wine, it should be paired with a luminous glass."

We all know that she came here for the sentence "Grape Wine Luminous Cup", Lin Jun smiled and said, "I'm a layman, but I don't understand these things. Whether it's good or bad, it's just a vulgar vessel for wine."

Hearing the words, Tanchun said: "Vulgarity is elegance. Although it is a vulgar vessel, it is also an elegant vessel. If we talk about this wine, it must be paired with it to be good."

Lin Jun smiled and said, "Don't care if it's vulgar or elegant, and don't disappoint the delicious food and wine." After finishing speaking, he toasted everyone.

Everyone laughed and drank another gulp.Daiyu picked out a piece of tender fried chicken breast and gave it to Yingchun, saying, "Second Sister, try this and see how it tastes."

Several people tasted one, finished drinking, and walked around for a while before going back.Seeing that there were few people in the seat, Zhang Feng'e said that she had gone back, but Daiyu didn't think much about it.

On the second day, the old lady said that the newlyweds would teach Lu Huixian to enjoy it for a few days.Mrs. Zhao didn't want to let go, so she borrowed Xi'er from Lu Huixian's side, and returned all the things she didn't need to the treasury.After two days of busy work, it was just finished.

Because Lin Jun came and reunited with Daiyu after a long absence, the three of them read together every day, did needlework together, and studied reading account books together in front of Lu Huixian, and the family became more lively.

Seeing that it will be Baoyu's birthday in a few days, because the old lady has accepted Jia Mu, she has not prepared the gift yet, so she wants to ask Zhang Feng'e.After getting up in the afternoon, I went to the old lady.

Xiang Cheng then asked: "Young lady, should I go over there?"

Daiyu was looking at the cherries in red silk, and said, "Change to that emerald plate, it will look better while it's in color." Hearing the words, she said, "Such an idea, of course we have to go through it."

Speaking, thinking of Lin Jun, she has to come here every day, if I go to the old lady's place, she has come, and if I miss it twice, wouldn't it be a waste of time for her to make a trip, and said: "You sent someone to the three Auntie also sent some over there, and then told Second Sister that Sister Feng and I will go visit her later."

Hung Hom agreed, and went to the shelf to get an emerald plate, rinsed it with water, dried it carefully with a handkerchief, and put a plate of cherries just now, and put it in a small filigree basket.

Daiyu said: "Ask a little girl to carry it, you and I can go," and said to Xiangcheng: "You are at home."

Xiangcheng smiled and took a new handkerchief and handed it to Daiyu, saying: "Miss, don't worry."

Daiyu chuckled and said, "What worries me?"

The three of them walked slowly, and when they reached the door, they saw the gatekeeper woman sitting on the threshold and dozing off against the door frame, the little girl wanted to go up to call her, but Daiyu stopped her, and whispered: "Let's go in, don't worry about her. "After that, as soon as I went in, I saw Muyu and a little girl sitting on the platform in front of the door, talking while doing needlework.

Daiyu didn't make a sound, walked quietly from one side, walked around behind them, and asked abruptly, "What are you talking about?"

The two of them jumped up, their little faces turned pale, and seeing that it was Daiyu's master and servants, their hearts just fell back into their stomachs, and while touching their chests, they said dumbfoundedly: "When did the girl come? nor."

There are many tired spring days, and the woman at the door always likes to doze off, she already knows it.Seeing Daiyu come in, I knew that the woman must have fallen asleep again.

"I just came here, and I see that you are going to sleep or not, and making trouble with you," Daiyu said, glanced at the door, and asked, "Is the old lady awake? Is sister Feng awake?"

Muyu put down her needle and thread, and the little girl tidied up herself. She opened the curtain to let them in, and said, "The old lady got up after a quarter of an hour of sleep, and she is chanting scriptures in the Buddhist hall. Miss Zhang also got up, and she is in the house." Well. If the girl doesn't come, she must be gone in a while."

Daiyu then said: "Then I'll go to Sister Feng's place first, the old lady will come out after a while, please send me a message."

Muyu said, "This is easy, let's go, girl."

Then Daiyu came out from the back door holding Hongxiao's hand. The wall on the right was covered with vines, and the wall could no longer be seen.

There are some crabapples, plantains, and wisterias of various colors, which are sparsely or densely planted inside. As soon as they come in, they are fragrant.There are three main rooms, the front of the left side is a large square pavilion, which is connected with the corridor, and the right side is an ear room.There are three huge phoenix trees in the northwest corner, with branches and leaves, covering most of the roof.

The leaves are drying handkerchiefs, and a little girl who has just grown her hair is sitting in the pavilion doing needlework.Seeing Daiyu's master and servant coming in, she hurriedly greeted her with a smile and said, "Our girl just said it will be over in a while."

As she walked, Daiyu said, "Go ahead. When you get here, you still treat me as a guest." Then she said to Hongxiao, "Go and talk to someone." .

Daiyu went in and was about to go into the room when three or four of Zhang Feng'e's nanny and nurturing mother came up to meet her and said, "Miss Lin is here. Our girl is in the study." She wanted to go in again to report.

Daiyu waved her hand and said, "I'll go in by myself." After that, she walked to the west, opened the Xiang curtain, and her eyes suddenly brightened.

It turns out that the one room on the west side and the side room are connected, and there are a whole row of large glass windows at the front and back. Although they are shaded by plane trees, they are very bright, and summer is the coolest.

There is an Arhat bed in front of the entrance. There are high tables on both sides of the bed. On one table are a whole set of teapots and tea bowls, and on the other table are utensils such as chicken feathers and marbles.There are four chairs and four tables on the ground, and four pairs of footrests. There is a table on the bed, and a chessboard on the table. The black and white chess pieces on it almost swallow the entire chessboard, like an endgame.The entire east wall inside is made of exquisitely carved hollow wooden boards, or "flowing clouds and a hundred bats", or "three friends of the year and cold", or landscape figures, or feathers and flowers, or collections, or Bogus, or Wanfu Wanshou, all kinds of patterns, Finely crafted, if you look carefully, you can see various patterns drawn by gold threads.One by one, or to store books, or to set up vases of flowers, or to place bonsai.The shape of the slats is either square or round, or sunflower and banana leaves, or half-walled in a chain, just like a cluster of flowers, exquisitely carved.In the middle is a large red sandalwood marble case, on which there are a stack of celebrity law stickers, several square inkstones, pen holders filled with large and small pens, in the front corner of the case is a vat with twigs of crabapple, with more than a dozen scrolls in the vat, on the east wall Hanging on it are four pictures of mist and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, which are in the style of four seasons.There is a piano case under the window, and a Yaoqin on the case.

Zhang Feng'e was writing at the desk, when she saw Daiyu coming in, she hurriedly got up and pulled Daiyu back, while walking, she asked, "Why are you here? I said it will be over in a while."

Daiyu saw that it was a flower note, but she didn't want to see it herself. It must have been written for her family.Then she came over with Zhang Feng'e and said, "Isn't it my cousin's birthday? That day the old lady answered for us again. I'm sure she will pick us up tomorrow or later. I have no preparations or ideas. , I thought about asking my sister."

The two sat opposite each other on the bed, and Liuli came up to move the chessboard. Daiyu said, "Don't take it away, I'll take a look at it later." Pointing to the teapot and bowl on the table, she said, "You don't need to be busy with that." and boil water."

Liuli agreed, and then asked, "Or Biluochun?"

Daiyu nodded, and Liuli went over to bring the tea tray and put it on the table, and brought boiling water in from outside, and said: "You go out and play, Hongxiao is here, talking to Ye Zi outside."

Zhang Feng'e didn't let Daiyu do anything, and made tea by herself, Daiyu watched quietly, when the tea was ready, Zhang Feng'e handed a cup to Daiyu with her own hands, and said, "Try it, is it better than last time?"

Just as they were about to eat, they heard the sound of the Xianglian curtain. When they looked out, it was Lin Jun who had come. He hurriedly got up to meet her. One said, "Why are you here?" The other said, "Why did you come so fast?"

When Lin Jun saw the tea on the table, she said, "You don't call me when you eat your own tea?"

Daiyu was about to take off her shoes and go up. Lin Jun waved her hands quickly and said, "Ask the girl to bring a scorpion. I'll sit outside here. It's easier for everyone."

Zhang Feng'e said: "Otherwise, let's go to the pavilion. It's not hot today, and sitting in the pavilion is more comfortable than this."

Sure enough, Daiyu got up again and said, "It's time to go out."

Seeing that the sisters had made an agreement, Liuli hurriedly called a few little girls to come in to help carry water and things, while she watched carefully from the sidelines.

The pavilion had already been tidied up, and the three of them sat around the table casually.Daiyu handed one to Lin Jun and said, "Try it, how is it better than last time?"

Lin Jun took it, and said with a smile, "You can borrow flowers to present Buddha." Zhang Feng'e didn't eat it, and poured the remaining tea on the purple sand lotus beside her, and saw a jet of water spray from the middle of the lotus, which dissipated for a while, Zhang Feng'e Just take a soft brush and carefully sweep the already faintly radiant lotus.

Lin Jun couldn't help being envious when she saw it, and said, "I have been raising myself for four or five years, and I am not as good as my sister."

Zhang Feng'e pointed to Daiyu and said, "That one of her will be well raised."

Before she could finish her sentence, Daiyu pulled Lin Jun with a blushing face and said, "I haven't said anything just now, why did you come here so fast?"

Thinking of that chubby pig, Lin Jun covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed no matter how anxious Daiyu was.I don't know what my aunt was thinking, but coaxed her to choose that one.

After laughing for a while, Fang said: "I was going to your place. On the way, I ran into Lu Fei in your house. He said you came here, so he came over."
