Drunk in the Red Chamber Lying on Beauty's Lap

On the second day, Mrs. Wang really asked about Baoyu and Jia Huan. Hearing that Jia Huan was envious of Yuanchun's visiting relatives, a smile could not help but appear on the corner of his mouth.I thought to myself: Just because of Aunt Zhao's vulgar appearance, even if your Jia Huan is intact, I wouldn't let you bother her.

At noon, Shi Xiangyun was taken to the mansion by Jia Mu.

Baoyu took a closer look at Xiangyun. Although he was not as good as Daiyu and Baochai in appearance, compared with Sanchun, each had its own merits.

It's just that this little girl is outspoken and carefree when she speaks. The most depressing thing is that she calls Baoyu to love her brother, which makes Baoyu dumbfounded.

At noon, I was eating in Jiamu's room. Sister Feng said with a smile: "Ancestor, I have a visitor here today. I specially asked the kitchen to make dishes with fresh vegetables from Zhuangzi. I invite the ancestor to taste."

Jia Mu laughed and said, "I'm really tired of eating big fish and meat every day these days. It's good to have fresh dishes, maybe I can still whet my appetite."

In a moment, the servants came to serve the meal.Sister Feng and Li Wan were waiting, and because Aunt Xue and Baochai were also here, Mother Jia asked Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang to sit down and have dinner together.

Don't say anything about eating, when the meal is over, the maids brought tea to rinse your mouth, and then brought the tea you had just eaten.

After resting for many days, Jia Mu and the others also recovered.

The whole room was talking and laughing.Jia Mu sat on a large brocade couch, wearing a gold embroidered gown, with Daiyu's filial forehead wiped on her head.I don't know if she heard some gossip, but Mother Jia praised Daiyu's dexterity more than once in front of everyone, and her needlework was very suitable for her.

It will be Baochai's birthday in a few days. Mother Jia mentioned this matter today, and said to Sister Feng: "Miss Feng, this is Baochai and Ji's birthday. You must celebrate her well. I'm going out of my private room. 20 taels of silver, you must prepare the wine and the show for me."

After hearing what Jia Mu said, Sister Feng naturally dared not refuse, so she agreed with a smile.But I was thinking in my heart, could it be that my aunt and the others made the old lady unhappy again?Otherwise, why make a big show of Luo Bao girl and Ji's banquet, and say it publicly in front of the big guys?

Baoyu was talking with Xichun. Hearing Jia Mu's suggestion, he almost couldn't hold back the tea.

Old lady, this is really amazing.

Baochai is 15 years old this year, which is Jiji's age.

In ancient times, marriage could be discussed at this age.Jia's mother proposed to do something big. To put it bluntly, it was a hint that Baochai had reached her age and it was time to find her husband's family.If anyone is suitable, please speak up as soon as possible.

Thinking about it again, this sentence even contains the meaning of driving people away.

Your girl has reached the age of marriage, why is she still at our house?You can't get married from a relative's house, can you?

As for Jia's mother paying 20 taels of silver, this is purely disgusting.For ordinary people, 20 taels is enough for the whole family to chew.But in Jia's mansion, the 20 taels of silver is not enough to buy a table of high-end banquets.

I gave 20 taels of silver to Baochai's birthday, except for Daiyu and the others who don't care about vulgar things, I'm afraid everyone here can feel that Jiamu's tone is not kind.

Thinking of this, Baoyu had to admire Aunt Xue's self-cultivation.Baoyu didn't believe that she couldn't understand Jia Mu's inner meaning.After hearing it, she still joked with Mrs. Wang without changing her face. I can only say that Aunt Xue should not be underestimated.

After talking and laughing for a while, Jia Mu was tired, so everyone went back to their rooms.

Daiyu and Xiangyun get along well, so they live together in the Bisha cabinet.

Daiyu told Zicuckoo: "Sister Bao is celebrating her birthday, why don't you help me think about what gift to give?"

Before Zijuan had time to speak, Xiangyun whispered: "Sister Lin, the atmosphere was weird when I was talking today, didn't you feel it?"

Daiyu thought about it carefully, and sure enough, when the old lady proposed to celebrate Sister Bao's birthday, the smiles on the faces of the second wife and Aunt Xue were not very natural.

"Don't tell me Auntie doesn't want to celebrate Sister Bao's birthday?" Daiyu guessed.

Xiangyun coughed lightly, and whispered: "I guess 20 taels of silver is too little. The Xue family is rich, and it will cost Sister Bao's birthday, or Jiji's birthday, not to mention spending thousands of taels, at least a few hundred taels." Two silver. The old lady directly said 20 taels, and my aunt is not easy to refute, so her face is not quite right."

Daiyu thought about it, and felt that what Xiangyun said was reasonable.When she was living at home, the medicinal supplements her father bought for her cost a hundred taels of silver, and 20 taels of silver for her birthday was indeed not enough.

The two little girls, Daiyu and Xiangyun, thought it was strange, but they were just gossiping in the boudoir.

Sister Feng is different. After all, banquets and operas need to be arranged by her. 20 taels of silver, enough to buy a few tables of banquets?How can it be possible to listen to the play?If she was asked to pay for it herself, she would not be very happy.

Seeing Sister Feng's sad face, Ping'er persuaded: "Grandma, there is a wife watching from above, so the banquet can't be shabby. You can buy more."

Sister Feng raised her brows slightly, and said displeasedly: "Addition, addition. I want to add, but how can I have extra money? To build a family-saving villa, half of my dowry has been put into it. How can there be money for the treasure girl?" Purchase?"

Sister Feng is also helpless.After the provincial house is built, it needs to be filled with a lot of antiques.Mrs. Wang ran out of money, so she could only discuss with Sister Feng, whether she could put her treasures in for emergency.

Sister Feng saw that her aunt had become the mother of a concubine, and she couldn't say that Lian Er's future would depend on the concubine, so she nodded in agreement.

But now that the Concubine Concubine has finished visiting her relatives, Mrs. Wang has not offered to return it, which made Sister Feng anxious all day long, but she was unable to ask for it.

Why doesn't it make Sister Feng feel uncomfortable when this one comes out again today.

Just at this time, Zhou Rui's family came in.

Ping'er gave up his seat with a smile.

Zhou Rui's family is an old man who has served Mrs. Wang for many years, and he is the best at observing words and demeanor.Seeing that Sister Feng's complexion was not right, she hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "Second Grandma, Madam said that Miss Bao has never had a good birthday in the past few years. This year happens to be Jiji's age again, so I should make a big deal of it.

The concubine said that the house should not be allowed to spend money, so she specially asked me to send 200 taels of silver to the second grandmother. "

Only then did Sister Feng smile: "Auntie is superstitious. How can I not be dedicated to celebrating Sister Baochai's birthday? I even asked you to send money here."

Having said that, Sister Feng was not polite about collecting money.
