Red Mansions Are Floating Clouds

It is said that the Xue family has opened a barbecue restaurant, the business is very good, and they are about to open two more."

Yuan Chun was silent for a while, nodded and said to me, you go down." Baoqin glanced at Guixiang with complicated eyes, and backed away silently

Guixiang was thinking about whether Lin Daiyu would be married by Yuanchun in the end, when she heard the word "barbecue shop", her mood was agitated, and after holding the piano down, she said, "Madam, I have a secret recipe handed down from my ancestors, which is called barbecue sauce. Absolutely delicious”

Yuan Chun said oh, but I don't know what this barbecue restaurant is for? "

Guixiang explained it in this way, and said that if the empress needs a large amount of money, this is the way to go. I am confident that the barbecue sauce is the only one in the world, but the empress needs to find a reliable person..." Hint Yuanchun sent her out to open a shop

No.90 All four times are concubines

No.90 All four times are concubines

Yuan Chun thought about it for a while, and said, "Isn't it a great grievance for you to let you reveal the secret recipe handed down from your ancestors for nothing?"How about this, if this store really makes money, then you will be counted as a part of it." After speaking, she looked at Guixiang with a smile.

Guixiang hurriedly knelt down and said that the servant dare not, it is just a secret recipe, if the empress can use it, the servant will be happy before it is too late, will she want to be part of it? "But I was cursing in my heart, it's fine if I don't send me out, but you are so stingy, you can say it to only a part of it?

Yuan Chun nodded satisfied when he heard the words, but said goodbye in his mouth, you are always being a slave, get up."

Just do what you say, coincidentally with Jia Mu's illness, Yuan Chun sent a little eunuch out of the palace

Seeing that Yuanchun ordered people to visit Jia Mu, Guixiang gave Baoyu and Daiyu a special reward. Yuanchun was inclined to marry Daiyu to Baoyu. The New Year's gift was so big that everyone in the capital said that the eldest princess wanted to recognize Daiyu as her goddaughter. Presumably Yuanchun thought so too.

Along with the reward, there was also a letter, and at this time, everyone in Jia's mansion was celebrating the New Year with joy.

After all, Jia's mother loves to be lively. Although she didn't want to see outsiders, she still ordered Sanchun and Daiyu to wait in the main room for fun, except that Baoyu was embarrassed by the previous incident, kowtowed and left.

Suddenly the eunuch in the palace came, and everyone stood up in awe. Jiamu learned that Yuanchun gave Baoyu and Daiyu a special reward, and her illness was more than half cured, so she hurriedly ordered Baoyu to receive the reward.

Everyone in the room looked at Daiyu with ambiguous eyes, only Aunt Xue and Wang secretly gritted their teeth.

Mother Jia was the happiest, seeing Daiyu's eyes becoming more and more kind. Baoyu came to the main room to receive the reward, seeing that it was only with Daiyu, she didn't care about being shy, and thanked her happily

Daiyu was really helpless, so she lowered her head and pretended not to be able to see the crowd, seeing the two children's expressions made her happy again

After the new year, Baoyu is 14 years old, and Daiyu is 13 years old. Jia Mu is already thinking in her heart when they will get married.

At night, all the lights in the mansion were brightly lit. Baochai and Aunt Xue sat opposite each other on the kang for a long time. Baochai said that our barbecue shop makes money like this, and when the market opens on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, we can open two more. Why do we have to let my aunt take [-]% What about dry stocks? "In fact, she was very clear in her heart, but she was a little unwilling

Aunt Xue said that she didn't do it for her. After you become the Second Young Mistress, the whole Rongguo Mansion will be yours. Are you afraid? "

Baochai curled her lips and said that what mother said was nice, not to mention the concubines, even Lian's second brother would get a big one, would it be Baoyu alone? "

Aunt Xue smiled mysteriously, saying that you are not a child, and now the people in this house dare not say it—the eldest master and the second master are not born to the old lady."

Baochai's eyes widened, and she hurriedly asked if both the first and second masters were born from concubines? "

Aunt Xue laughed and said that she was naturally a concubine. At that time, the old lady married into Jia's mansion and did not give birth to a child until she was almost thirty-but I heard that she gave birth to one, but it was a dystocia, and she died after birth, so it is difficult to conceive in the future."

Speaking of this, Aunt Xue sighed twice and said that the old lady's methods are really many times better than ours. The concubines of the old lady of Jia's house are full of concubines, and none of them gave birth to the first generation in the end. Mrs. Rong Guo sent the two servant girls to the old man's room. These two maids only lived with the mother during the day, and one of them was pregnant. Mr. Pardon"

When Baochai heard this, she couldn't help sighing that it was really not easy for the old lady."

Aunt Xue smiled and said that two years later, another maid was also pregnant, who would have thought that the old lady over there was pregnant too, and you too, that maid gave birth to Mr. Zheng, the last one that the old lady gave birth to. But it's a daughter, that is Miss Lin's own mother."

Baochai curled her lips and said, "I think the old lady loves her so much. It turns out that so many grandchildren are not relatives, and only her granddaughter is really relatives." Suddenly remembering the old lady's attitude towards Daiyu Baoyu's marriage, she hurriedly said, I understand. No wonder the old lady dislikes me so much, she wants her granddaughter to be the hostess of Jia's mansion in the future, this Jia's mansion will undoubtedly belong to Baoyu in the future, and the others will just share some leftovers."

Aunt Xue patted Baochai's hand approvingly, and said good boy, let's coax your aunt to betroth you to Baoyu. In the future, you want money and status. You don't have to marry a businessman like your mother. High-ranking officials and dignitaries are all looked down upon." As he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes

Seeing this, Baochai snuggled into Aunt Xue's arms, Mama Dao, don't worry, I will not let you down in the future."

Because of the emperor's joke about baby kisses, the New Year's wine in Rongning and Ningfu's mansions is full every day. People who are acquainted and unfamiliar, those who have always been friends and those who have had enemies in the past, all prepared generous gifts to come to the door to pay New Year's greetings. The tonics that Jia Musheng sent from all over the place piled up into mountains, and Wang and Sister Feng were also invited to dinner and wine for days without mentioning it.

On the eve of the [-]th, Mother Jia was already very happy, so she ordered people to set up a few tables of wine in the Dahua Hall, order a small show, hang all kinds of lanterns, and lead the family banquets of the sons, nephews, grandchildren, grandchildren, grandchildren, and grandchildren of Rongning and the Second Mansion because of Jia. Jing Xiu Tao never drank alcohol, so he did not invite him here. Jia She learned a little bit, and then went to watch lanterns and eat wine with all the disciples. The fun is different from here

Aunt Xue and Aunt Li were guests, so they naturally sat on the upper two seats. Mother Jia set up a couch to accompany them on the east side, a small table on the couch, and a single seat beside the couch, but Daiyu from Baoqin and Xiangyun sat on it. Below the Baoyu four is the throne of King Xing, and below that is Jia Rong, the daughter of Youshi, Li Wanfeng, and Jia Rong.

Baochai sits at the first seat on the West Road, just under Aunt Xue, looking at Baoqin and Daiyu sitting beside Jiamu, Baoyu is surrounded by beauties, smiling happily, as if she has knocked over a bottle of five flavors in her heart After finding Daiyu as Jiamu's only flesh and blood, she was strangely not as jealous of her as before, but Baoqin, who came from behind, was like a thorn in her side, wanting to get rid of her quickly.

Because there is a play outside, all the panes and doors are dismantled, and all kinds of palace lanterns are hung with colored tassels.

The seats on the corridor are Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, Jia Huan, Jia Cong, Jia Rong, Jia Qin, Jia Yun, Jia Ling, Jia Chang, etc.

Mother Jia also sent people to invite all the men and women in the clan, but some were poor and ashamed to see others, some were jealous, some were sick, and even some were afraid of Sister Feng's anger, so although there were many clansmen, only female guests came. The mother of Jia Zhu came with Jia Zhu, and the only men were Jia Qin, Jia Yun, Jia Chang and Jia Ling, who are currently working under Sister Feng.

It's just that although there are not all people, it is very lively in the small family banquet

At one time, Lin Zhixiao's family brought six and carried three kang tables, on which were filled with red felt cloths full of new copper coins. Two were placed under Aunt Xue and Aunt Li's mat, and one was placed under Jia Mu's mat. , this is to keep the reward money for watching the show, and prepare the lip service for it

At this time, I only heard that "The West Building Meeting" on the stage was about to finish, and Yu Shuye went off in a fit of anger, and Wen Bao made a joke and said, "You've gone off in a fit of anger." , after I ride this horse, it is important to rush in and ask for some fruit to eat."

After finishing the sentence, Jia Mu and others laughed, and Aunt Xue and others said that he was a ghost boy, so pitiful."

Sister Feng said that the child is only nine years old."

Jia Mu laughed and said it was hard for him to say it so cleverly, so she said a word of "reward".

Already three of them came up with small dustpans to get copper coins, and came out to the stage and said that the ancestors, aunts, wives, relatives, and wives rewarded Wenbao to buy fruits to eat! "As he said, he sprinkled it on the stage.

Jia Zhen and Jia Lian ordered the boys to carry the money in the big dustpan and prepare it under the stage. At this time, they heard that Jia's mother wanted a reward, and hurriedly ordered the boys to spread the money quickly. Joy

Taking advantage of the busy time, Jiachang in the corridor laughed softly and said no, he thought Uncle Zhen was the grand master of this mansion! "

Jia Ling also laughed softly and said that Uncle Zhen should have prepared a great gift to thank Master She, if Master She was not angry with the old lady for being biased, and the two sides did not meet each other very often, Uncle Zhen would not be able to reach this level even if he was courteous."

Taking advantage of Jia's mother's happiness, Jia Zhen and Jia Lian took a new warm silver pot into the house to serve wine. First, they went to Aunt Li and Aunt Xue's table to get a wine glass and serve wine. Very polite"

In ancient times, there were many etiquettes. Those with high positions did not sit, and those with low positions could not sit. Sometimes people came and went, and they could stand up and sit up and sit more than ten times during a meal, even for family banquets. At this time, Aunt Xue and Aunt Li Standing up, except for Jia Mu and Xing Wang Er, the rest of the people hurriedly left the table and waited on them with their hands down.

Jia Zhen waited until Jia Mu's couch, and because the couch was short, the two knelt down. Jia Zhen held the cup first, and Jia Lian held the pot behind. Seeing the two of them come in, seeing the two of them kneeling down, they also knelt down.

Seeing this, Baoyu quickly knelt down and Xiangyun pushed Daiyu when he saw it, and smiled quietly and said, "Look at him."

Baochai also stood together, and when she saw Baoyu, she also accompanied her.
