Drunk in the Red Chamber Lying on Beauty's Lap

Sure enough, Sister Feng kept asking Grandma Liu to eat eggs, without any intention of changing another bowl for her.

Grandma Liu picked up the chopsticks, but felt that they were heavy and she couldn't control them at all.

It turned out that in order to tease her, Sister Feng specially prepared ivory inlaid chopsticks for her. Grandma Liu, who is used to simplicity, never used this.

She looked at the pigeon eggs in the bowl and sighed: "The chickens here are handsome, and the eggs they lay are also small."

As soon as the voice fell, everyone laughed again.

Jia Mu laughed and said, "This is girl Feng teasing you. Don't believe her."

Grandma Liu was already hungry, so she stopped thinking about the size of the eggs.Just about to eat, who knows that the chopsticks in his hand are still not listening, and he hasn't picked up a single one for a long time.Finally, it was easy to pick one up, but it slipped down and rolled on the ground.

Daiyu sighed: "Sister Feng is really good at playing tricks on people. She is a country woman, where did she ever use gold-encrusted chopsticks? It would be strange if she could hold things."

Baoyu said: "Sister Feng is trying to make my ancestors happy. In her eyes, Grandma Liu is just a country woman. She is used to make fun of her, and old lady Bo just smiles."

"No wonder the old lady likes Sister Feng, she can use any means." There was a little sarcasm in Daiyu's words.

The relationship between her and Wang Xifeng is not bad, but in the past, Sister Feng would often make fun of her, which made her feel a sense of sympathy for Grandma Liu.

Seeing Daiyu feeling sad for a moment, Baoyu quickly changed the subject and said, "Sister Lin, this eggplant with garlic paste is very appetizing, try it."

Daiyu has a light taste, and the dishes on the table are mainly of this type.Daiyu took a sip and nodded, "The taste is really good, but the smell of garlic is a bit strong."

Baoyu said: "Garlic is a good thing. It can resist aging and prevent fatigue. It has many benefits for the body. There is some in the dish occasionally, so don't mind too much."

Daiyu wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, "Is this spicy food really so good? Then I'll just have two more bites."

After breakfast, Mother Jia proposed to gossip in Tanchun's bedroom and digest food by the way.

Tanchun's room is never partitioned, with a huge space and a wide view.The layout is simple and atmospheric.

Baoyu watched Tanchun busy greeting everyone, but he didn't feel flustered at all, and his evaluation of her was a little higher.

In fact, among the girls in Errongguo Mansion, the most difficult one to choose a husband is Yingchun.Yingchun is not only a concubine, but also soft-tempered.

Marrying into a well-matched family will definitely make you angry.Married into a merchant's family, but afraid of the reputation of Jiamu and the others, he did not want to get married.

Tanchun is better in this regard. She is recorded under Mrs. Wang's name, which is a little higher than Yingchun's status.She has a sharp and sharp temper, as long as the Rongguo Mansion does not fall, no one should be able to bully her.

After talking and laughing for a while, feeling that it was almost time to rest, Mother Jia got up and went to Hengwuyuan by boat.

The others followed each other all the way, got off the boat and went ashore, went up the Yunbu stone ladder, and entered Hengwu Garden.

There are all kinds of strange grasses and fairy vines planted inside, and the fragrance is tangy.

When Xue Baochai lived here, she didn't like anything from her daughter's house.Not to mention celadon and jade wares in the room, even some flowers, branches and green leaves are completely absent.

Shi Xiangyun is different. Although she has a carefree temper, she is extremely concerned about dressing up.Jiamu also loves her grandniece of her natal family. After taking her over, she let the mandarin ducks be placed in many private houses in her house, which are full of flowers and very lively.

As soon as she entered the door, Mother Jia laughed and said, "I've never seen Girl Yun's bedroom before. Why is it so full? If I had known, I wouldn't have given you my gauze table screen and Moyan frozen stone tripod."

Shi Xiangyun leaned against Jiamu and said with a smile: "Old ancestor, I put them all in the house, how can I go back? I quite like Sister Lin's dwarf pine bonsai, but Sister Lin just won't give it to me. You can put it back again. I want to go back with these treasures, but my place is empty and there is nothing left."

Mother Jia laughed amused by Shi Xiangyun's childish complaint, "Okay, my ancestors don't want Yun'er's things. Not only don't you want them, but you have to buy some more. I remember that your sister Lin's curtains and yours are both winter Fashionable style, girl Feng, we still have a few bolts of soft smoke in our warehouse. The autumn-colored ones are made into curtains and hung in the Xiaoyixiang Pavilion, and the silver-red ones are sent to Yun'er. This girl likes these bright-coloured ones color."

Shi Xiangyun immediately smiled when he heard the words, "Thank you, ancestor."

Daiyu also thanked her.

Baoyu faintly saw Yingchun and Tanchun's slightly disappointed expressions, and couldn't help sighing.

The aristocratic family has a clear lineage.

Yingchun is gentle and docile, and Tanchun has outstanding abilities. If they come out on the first day, the old lady will treat them as the second Yuanchun and carefully train them.Now, it's just for them to know a few words.He didn't even teach them the basic skills of housekeeping, let alone take them to visit other aristocratic families.

After sitting in Hengwu Garden for a while, everyone turned to Zhuijin Pavilion and went to Ouxiangxie.

It was past noon, and Sister Feng and Li Wan prepared lunch again.According to the form of breakfast, each person is a few high, and Grandma Liu still sits next to Jiamu.

This time, Mother Jia suggested drinking orders. Where did Grandma Liu play with this?

Because what she said was wrong, Grandma Liu was given a lot of drinks.

Baoyu thought that Grandma Liu might go to Yihong Courtyard for a rest.Worried that she would be embarrassed when she saw someone, she asked Xiren and the others to play in the garden for a while longer.

The next day when Grandma Liu wanted to go home, Baoyu specially asked Xiren to seal 50 taels of silver for her.He liked the wise old man.

When the days were idle again, Baoyu began to think about how to help Tanchun choose a good marriage and fulfill Jia Huan's entrustment.

Baoyu is here to make plans for Tanchun, and Jingyang is not idle.

Shui Rong and Tu Fei were secretly sent elsewhere by the emperor, and all the spies in the capital were controlled by Jing Yang.

This time, Jingyang investigated all the young men and women of the right age in the capital under the false pretense of public service.Jingyang asked people to investigate all those who were estimated to be worthy of Jia Huan's sister.

Because these people were either born as concubines, or their official positions were not high, after some investigation, they didn't arouse anyone's idea.

Baoyu didn't have any clues yet, Jingyang had already taken Jia Huan to the villa with great enthusiasm, showing off the results.

Jia Huan looked at the thick stack of picture scrolls on the desk, frowned and said, "Jingyang, all of these are suitable candidates selected by you?"

Jingyang nodded and said: "Yes, Huan'er, what do you think? I have made people investigate clearly. They are all good in character, talent and learning, and their appearance is also painted on it. You are worried that the people I know are too high-status, I So I asked my subordinates to choose some bastards from big families, or officials with lower ranks. I guarantee that only your sister will look down on them."
