A visit to Fangchun

Both Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu were dumbfounded.

It was the former Jiangnan old relative Zhen's family who sent some servants over to give gifts to say hello, and Jia's mother also talked for a long time.Today is still bright, why did Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai get kicked out.

The two looked at each other and went out to see off the guests.

However, Jia Tanchun knew that Mother Jia didn't want to see Mrs. Wang, so she didn't like Aunt Xue's status as an imperial merchant incidentally.But it’s not too ugly, so I smiled when I went out, "Madam, it’s really good for me to look at Sister Bao, and my room is more spacious, how about I invite Sister Bao to wash up at my place? Lilu is coming, and the journey is dusty and uncomfortable, so hurry up and change your clothes."

Mrs. Wang was annoyed because Mother Jia didn't show her face in front of Aunt Xue. Hearing this, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and nodded with a smile: "Okay. I don't have any little girl's clothes over there. I'm just going to let you take care of your baby." elder sister."

Jia Tanchun grinned, "It's my wife who gave me face." Then he took Baochai to his own room, but he still didn't forget to turn around and say to Baodai and her, "Second elder brother, sister Lin, the old ancestor didn't have any children with me. What about people. Are you not going back?"

Mrs. Wang snorted, and hurriedly said: "That's exactly what I said. It's really unnecessary to rush to follow. Zhu's daughter-in-law, you follow me to help your aunt. Baoyu and Lin sister go back to accompany the old lady first. Let's go. When the table is ready, I'll send someone to call you. Brother Feng is also going to work for a while, and you can tell me when the kitchen is ready."

Everyone glanced at each other, said goodbye with a smile, and dispersed.

Walking in front of Mrs. Wang's door, Jia Tanchun saluted and said goodbye to Aunt Xue, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Auntie, I will definitely return you a refreshing sister Bao in a while!"

Xue Baochai smiled lightly, and with a wink, Yinger, her maidservant, picked up her burden and followed her.The two of them arrived at Jia Tanchun's room in Baoxia Hall.

Jia Tanchun walked all the way and introduced to her all the way: "Over there is sister-in-law Zhu's room. Brother Lan didn't feel comfortable getting up this morning, and he didn't dare to let him out in the cold weather. On the left side of my room is my second sister Yingchun, and on the right It's the fourth younger sister, Xichun. Today, because the eldest sister-in-law has to take care of Brother Lang, we have a holiday. The second elder sister went to visit the eldest master, and the fourth younger sister went back to the East Mansion to pay her respects to her sister-in-law. So I'm not here at the moment. I think Knowing that you are here, you will definitely be back at night."

Not only introduced the person, but also explained why I didn't see him today.Xue Baochai slightly raised his evaluation of Jia Tanchun in his heart.

Waiting for the book to follow Jia Tanchun quietly at the back, Yinger poked her head a few times to look at her, but she just smiled, but refused to speak easily.

When he got to the door, he hurriedly stepped forward to open the curtain, and said loudly, "Young lady invited Miss Xue to come over and wash up. Xiaochan brings water, and Cuimo blows the iron."

Zhao Nanny hurriedly brought Cuimo Xiaochan to greet Xue Baochai first, and then went to work on their own.

Jia Tanchun ordered to wait for the book: "Go and pour a bowl of hot tea for Sister Bao first. Use our best jasmine flowers."

This jasmine tea is the most commonly drunk tea in common households in the capital, but it seems a bit out of place in the Duke's mansion.Waiting for the book to agree, his face flushed slightly and he went down.

Ying'er was beside her, so she curled her lips slightly - it's not as good as her regular tea!

Xue Baochai glanced at her and said with a smile: "This girl has served me since childhood, she is very presumptuous." Then she said seriously to Ying'er: "Now we are guests at my aunt's house, and the third sister is my aunt's cousin. Darling. You want to take her as me, do you understand?"

Only then did Ying'er put away her arrogance in a hurry, changed her respectful expression, and went down deeply: "Miss San, please forgive me for being rude."

Jia Tanchun looked inexplicable: "Sister Bao, you didn't blame me for my poor hospitality, why did you teach your girl a lesson instead? But what did I do wrong?"

Xue Baochai was taken aback, and quickly laughed, "I told her for nothing. She took it seriously, so why do you take it seriously, sister?"

Only then did Jia Tanchun laugh. Seeing that the waiter really brought the best jasmine tea, he nodded and said with a smile, "Sister Bao may not have tasted this kind of tea before, try it quickly."

Xue Baochai smelled the elegant and rich jasmine fragrance before seeing the tea soup, and couldn't help being surprised: "If this jasmine tea is not made well, it will easily get tired of the fragrance. Third sister, this is a tribute to you." ? Why is it so elegant? I smell it, and it's better than all the jasmine teas I've ever tasted."

Jia Tanchun smiled all over his face: "You are a distinguished guest, you have come from a long way, and you have seen quite a few good things. Since I dare to invite you, and dare to fight with others, how can I not have two unique skills? Sister Bao, give it a try. "

Xue Baochai gently took the gaiwan, opened the lid, first took a closer look at the color of the soup, then leaned closer to smell it, admired it, took a sip, savored it carefully, and praised with a smile: "Really, The best jasmine tea I've ever tasted."

Jia Tanchun looked at the book with a smile.

After waiting for the book to understand, she smiled and said: "Miss Xue doesn't know, our girls like to make these food and drink the most in their spare time. This was figured out last month for the Chinese New Year. Our old lady agreed. The wife also has it, maybe Xue My aunt is also tasting it now."

Xue Baochai looked at the furnishings of her room calmly, and found that they were all standard items, even much less than the furnishings of ordinary boudoir women.I couldn't help but raise my evaluation of Jia Tanchun to a higher level—living in such an environment, I already have a mind that is not in the service of things, but I can still carelessly focus on food and drink, which shows that I am definitely not a vulgar thing.

After a while, Xiaochan replied that the water was ready, and waited for Baochai to take a bath with Yinger after waiting for the book.

When she came back after changing her clothes, Cui Mo came up and smiled and invited Ying'er to shake Baochai's clothes together, Ying'er hesitated for a moment and followed.Seeing that Xiaochan prepared another water, she told her with a smile: "Sister also washes, I will go with Sister Cuimo to pack Miss Bao's clothes." Ying'er was immediately moved and thanked her endlessly.

Waiting here helped Baochai wring out her hair, put a towel on it and let her bake it on the smoker cage. After it was completely dry, she said with a smile: "Okay. I will give you a simple hairpin first." Dear, I'll dress you up after sister Ying'er comes back later."

Baochai only felt that the service to the book was excellent, so she nodded with a smile, and said to Tanchun who was writing with a smile: "You girl is really ingenious, I think you are far better than Yinger."

Before she could say a word, Ying'er lifted the curtain and came in. When she heard this, she pouted.

Tanchun finished writing a line in one go, Fang took the pen and looked at her master and servant with a smile: "I asked Cui Mo to drag Yinger to wash up too. After all, I will go to eat later, and it will be refreshing for her to steal some free time." .”
