Evening Shaohua in the Red House

Xiangyun still joked to himself, and said with a smile: "Sister Lin, tell yourself, are you a lotus or a begonia?"

The Zicuckoo waiter and others on the side couldn't help laughing when they heard the words: "Miss Yun is really narrow."

Daiyu gritted her teeth and scolded, "I screwed you up! I knew you were the one who sent me!" As she spoke, she wanted to chase Xiangyun to tickle her.

Xiangyun dodged in a hurry, and the two chased after each other. Baoyu laughed hurriedly from behind and said, "Slow down, don't trip!"

Baochai Tanchun and others also came forward to stop her with a smile, and said with a smile: "Forget it, let her have this trouble!"

Xiangyun hid behind Baochai, poked his head out and begged Daiyu repeatedly: "My dear sister, please forgive me! Don't dare again."

Daiyu was exhausted, she was already dripping with sweat after running this lap, she stopped in her tracks, wiped off her sweat with a handkerchief, and was about to speak, when she suddenly saw Biyue walking over and said with a smile: "The wine and food are all ready, Grandma told me to invite Second Master and the girls over."

That's all for Daiyu, Baoyu asked, "Where is the lunch?"

Baochai also asked, "Can the old lady and the wife go?"

Bi Yue smiled and said: "It's on Wutong Terrace, not far from here, the old lady, madam and Aunt Xue have already passed by, Second Master and the girls please come with me."

Everyone followed Biyue to the front, walked through several floors of courtyards, and arrived at Wutong Terrace.

All of a sudden, they entered Wutong Terrace. It turned out that this platform had five open eaves, several cool pavilions on both sides, countless green trees in the courtyard, and several calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls.

Danju Xiazhu has led people to arrange it neatly: there are two couches on the left and right above, both of which are covered with brocade mats, and in front of each couch are two begonia-style carved lacquer tables.

There are two or four couches on the top for Jia Mu and Aunt Xue; the two or two chairs below belong to Mrs. Wang;

The style of the saving box also varies according to the style. Each person has a three-layer heart-saving box, a black silver chiseled self-pouring pot, and a ten-brocade enamel cup.

In addition to one or two favorite dishes in the box, there are broiled mutton, bad fish, drunk crab, clear sauce meat, Ringo, Jiaqingzi, stone belly soup, three crispy soup, pear slices, fried cherries, and fragrant herbs fried in honey The fruit snacks are all served in small Ding kiln white porcelain dishes. The portion of each item is not much, but it is very delicate.

In addition, there are several dishes cooked with freshly picked wild vegetables, which are not recognized by everyone. Li Wan explained them one by one. There are fresh and tender bamboo shoots, mustard balls, and a dish of cold Malantou. Finally, he said with a smile: " There is nothing good in Zhuangzi, these are all in the

The freshly picked vegetables on the mountain are freshly made, all of which are wild ideas, for old ladies, wives, concubines and sisters to try something new. "

Baoyu heard that it was a fresh wild vegetable picked from the mountain, so he immediately became interested. He immediately picked up a chopstick and tasted the cold Malan head, and couldn't help but be full of praise. The original taste is that the common people outside have the good fortune to eat these mountain delicacies, which is not like our home, it is either chicken, duck or fish, and it is not boring."

Li Wan couldn't help laughing secretly when he heard the words, it was really Gaoliang Wan's talk, and he didn't know the suffering of the people at all.

Mother Jia also found it funny when she heard this, she shook her head and said: "It's really a child's talk. The poor people outside have to eat these wild vegetables because they can't afford fish. These things are just fresh, and whoever eats them often."

Daiyu said to Baoyu, "If you are really told to eat this every day, you may want to eat fish again."

Xiang Yun also laughed and said: "Second brother, what you said is similar to that 'why not eat minced meat'."

All the sisters who said it laughed.

Baoyu smiled embarrassingly.

Aunt Xue said with a smile: "It's no wonder he is, after all, he is the son of everyone, and he is young, how can he know these things in the field outside."

Li Wan was pouring wine for Jia Mu, and said with a smile to Baoyu, "It's just wild ideas, not worth anything. Fresh hare meat was just delivered outside this morning. I think it's suitable for making Xia offerings. I have ordered the kitchen tonight." Prepare the hare meat and all kinds of fresh vegetables, and when the time comes, we will boil them ourselves and eat them, and eat them stubbornly, wouldn't it be interesting?"

Baoyu suddenly became happy again, and said with a smile, "Okay, this is interesting."

Li Wan brought the silver-carved landscape figures to the banquet and poured a cup with Aunt Xue first.

Aunt Xue laughed hurriedly: "Pour it with your wife, and I'll let it go. I've already had a cup just now. If I eat any more, I'm afraid I'll get drunk."

Li Wan said with a smile: "It's rare to come here once. Auntie just wants to have fun, even if she gets drunk after a while, it's okay. The house has been cleaned. If you have sex, you can stay for two more days."

After that, I poured it out with Mrs. Wang again.

When Jia Mu heard this, she said with a smile: "That's very true. Auntie has too many drinks. Today we just eat and drink to our heart's content. If we get drunk, we will go to bed."

Mrs. Wang also nodded and said with a smile: "It's rare to come out once, and it's Zhu'er's daughter-in-law's kindness. My sister doesn't need to be a layman, just have fun."

After hearing this, Aunt Xue took a sip from her wine glass and said with a smile, "Since that's the case, I'll be more casual."

Li Wan went to the table of Daiyu Baochai and others, and poured with his sisters.

Jia Mu

He said with a smile, "everyone has two drinks. Today is really interesting!" As he spoke, he held the cup for Aunt Xue, and said to Li Wan, "sit down and have a drink too." As he spoke, he did it himself.

Li Wan sat down and ate a cup, as did Xiangyun, Baochai, Daiyu, Tanchun and others.

When the banquet was over, everyone attended the banquet and strolled around the garden. They saw flowers everywhere, the butterflies in their hearts, and the red and purple walls around them. They were overwhelmed. The lush forests and bamboos, the green hills are emerald, and the scenery is picturesque.

Just arrived at the Ningcui Pavilion, a girl sent two dim sum holding boxes to please use the dim sum. When I opened it, one holding box contained kidney bean rolls and pea yellow, and the other contained fresh green balls, green in color. , exudes a light wormwood aroma.

Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue both laughed and said, "This youth group is really suitable for the occasion. I haven't eaten this for many years."

Mother Jia also missed it quite a bit. Seeing that the Youth League was as big as a child's fist, green as jade, small and exquisite, she couldn't help laughing and said, "What kind of stuffing is it?"

Li Wan hurriedly laughed and said: "There are several kinds. The sweet ones have bean paste and sesame fillings, and the salty ones have fresh meat fillings. They are made by chopping fresh pork and young bamboo shoots and mixing them well. Another one is made with dried shrimp and tofu.”

When Jia Mu heard the words, she nodded and said, "That's all. I'll try two sweet ones."

Daiyu Baochai also ate it when she was at home before, but she didn't find it strange, but Baoyu and others had never seen this. Xiangyun couldn't help asking curiously: "What is this made of, the color is so beautiful."

Li Wan put a few green balls in a small plate and handed them to Jia Mu. Hearing this, he said with a smile: "This is made of freshly picked wormwood and mixed with glutinous rice flour. After steaming, it will become green and soft. The skin of the skin is sweet and bitter, soft and chewy, not greasy when eaten, not only has a unique flavor, but also warms the lungs and spleen, dispels cold and dehumidifies, and has the effect of preventing diseases."

Baoyu found it interesting, and saw that the green ball was emerald green in color and fragrant, so he couldn't help but pick up one and taste it, but it was stuffed with sesame seeds. He felt soft, glutinous and sweet, and full of fragrance. Soft and glutinous, delicious."

Daiyu liked the scenery of her hometown very much, but her spleen and stomach were weak, so she didn't dare to eat it.

Seeing this, Li Wan smiled and said: "Although this is made of glutinous rice, it's okay to eat a little bit. My sister will try it too."

Daiyu also ate half of it.

Baochai and others also tasted it, and found that it was soft, soft and fragrant, the fresh meat filling was salty and soft, fat but not plump, and the bean paste and sesame filling were sweet but not greasy, fragrant and delicious, and they all liked it. .

一

After eating snacks, everyone swam for a while. Li Wan caught a glimpse of Daiyu's sleepiness, so he smiled and said to Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue: "After walking for half a day, everyone is afraid that everyone is tired. Old lady, Madam and aunt, do you want to go back to your room for a rest?"

Jia Mu has always had the habit of taking a lunch break, but she also felt tired at this time, so she nodded and said, "I'm a little tired, go back to the house and have a rest."

Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue also said they would go back and take a nap.

Li Wan hurriedly ordered someone to carry a small bamboo chair. Jia Mu sat on it, and all the women lifted it up and went back to Songfeng courtyard.

Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue rested in the Ningcui Pavilion.

Baoyu went to the front yard and rested with Jia Lian in the East and West Wings.

Daiyu, Baochai, Xiangyun and Sanchun were arranged in Qingxiju and Wenxing Pavilion respectively.

Li Wan waited on Jia Mu to rest and returned to the room, sent everyone out, and after washing up, he also took a rest in the spare time, leaning on the imperial concubine's couch, called Dan Ju to come over and said: "You tell people to pay attention to what is going on behind the scenes." If there is any movement in the room, if the old lady wakes up, you can call me."

Danju agreed, opened the incense box on the table beside her, took two pieces of lily incense and threw them into the cloisonné enamel tripod with lotus patterns, still closed the lid, and when she turned her head, she saw that Li Wan had fallen asleep with her eyes closed. Gently put down the curtain, Fang closed the door and went out.

Green smoke curls up in the room, and a handful of juicy peach blossoms are inserted in the painted enamel peach bat-pattern vase on the table by the window, which is bright and eye-catching.

Li Wan fell into a deep sleep, and after waking up in a daze for a while, he sat up, picked up the western enamel gold pocket watch under the pillow, opened it, and found that it was already three quarters of the hour.

Dan Ju heard the movement, walked into the room and said with a smile: "Grandma woke up, I was just about to call you, if you sleep too much during the day, it's easy to get sleepy at night."

At the same time, he raised his voice to ask the little girl to fetch water.

Li Wan rubbed his sore neck and asked, "Are the old lady and the lady awake?"

Danju lifted up the white silk embroidered peony curtain, hooked it with a copper hook, and said: "The old lady is not awake yet, my wife and concubine are enjoying the scenery in the water pavilion, and I have sent someone to wait on them."

Li Wan got up and asked, "Where are the girls? Are they all up?"

Danju stretched out her hand to test the water temperature, twisted the handkerchief and handed it to Li Wan, and said with a smile: "The girls have woken up early, and I went to Taolin to enjoy the flowers with Master Bao just now, Xia Zhu took the girls with me. went."

Li Wan nodded after hearing this, and after finishing washing and washing, Danju took out a sky blue silk satin pleated skirt and put it on with her in a white silk elastic ink pleated skirt.

After tidying up for a while, I went out of the yard, and saw Aunt Liu talking back and forth, reporting various matters to the village.

Li Wan thought about it

Thinking about something, he said to Mrs. Liu: "Go out and spread the word that people who go to the night from all over the place should be brought to the east water pavilion. I want to ask questions."

Aunt Liu agreed, and immediately sent people to spread the word everywhere.

Li Wan came to the water pavilion and looked up, only to see that the sun was gradually setting to the west, the green hills were shrouded in the sunlight, and the pavilions and pavilions of the opposite villa could be faintly seen.

She had heard before that many high-ranking and dignified villages were at the foot of Iron Net Mountain, and there were several farms not far from Cuiwei Villa, but she didn't know exactly which ones.

Li Wan saw that the house stretched for miles and was magnificent, so he couldn't help being curious, and turned to ask Aunt Liu, "Do you know which family's Zhuangzi on the opposite mountain belongs to?"

Aunt Liu followed her gaze and couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Grandma forgot, this Xishan paddock is on Iron Net Mountain, and that village is for the royal family to rest their feet when they come to the Iron Net Mountain hunting ground. .”

The author has something to say: I have been in the country for the past two days, and I just came back tonight. I will try to have more in the next chapter.
