[Red Mansion] A little chef came to the Grand View Garden
Chapter 33 Curiosity Killed the Cat
Zhongshun Prince Shiqing galloped to the gate of Beijing Bieyuan, dismounted from his horse, and came in front of Baoyu and Liumei.
"Aren't you... the cook from Hongshun Tower?"
"Yes...she is the cook of Hongshun Tower..." Before Liu Mei could speak, Baoyu answered for her with a trembling voice.
Liu Mei was still wondering, that day at Hongshun Tower, although she saw Baoyu, Baoyu had never seen her face to face.Baoyu probably didn't know what she was doing in Hongshun Tower!
After a while, Liu Mei finally understood that no matter what Prince Zhongshun asked him, he would always answer "Yes Yes Yes" and "Yes Yes Yes".
The person Baoyu is most afraid of now is not his father Jia Zheng, but this one in front of him.
"I heard that the second young master has been in close contact with Jiang Qiguan, an actor in our house recently?" Shiqing turned his eyes away from Baoyu's face, "Yes yes yes... no, no..." Baoyu woke up in fright, Quickly change your mouth.
"Then, where is Qi Guan now, does Second Young Master know?" Zhongshun Prince Shiqing asked softly with a smile on his face.But it is this kind of gentle attitude, combined with the occasional cold look in the pair of deep eyes, which makes Baoyu more and more frightened.
"If it's another actor, that's all right. Only this Qi official, who answered randomly, was cautious and mature, is very in line with my old man's wishes, so I can't leave." Seeing Baoyu like this, Shiqing's tone immediately contained some contempt and sarcasm. .
Liu Mei huddled aside, lowered her head and gently rubbed the corner of her clothes, secretly cursing in her heart: You old man, you are really old!She lowered her head, so she didn't notice that Shiqing's sharp eyes glanced past her seemingly inadvertently.
"It's true that I have never...never been familiar with this Qiguan." Baoyu struggled to respond.
Shi Qing immediately laughed when he heard the words.
"That night in Hongshun Tower, this king could see clearly, if the young master and Qiguan... are not familiar with each other," Shiqing's mouth slightly twitched, and he said it was a smile, but there was endless sarcasm, "Then how did Qian Xiangluo get to the young master's waist?"
Baoyu had already woken up from the little drink in the afternoon, but cold sweat was profuse on his forehead in the hot weather.Confused, he finally opened his mouth: "Does the lord not know about Qiguan's purchase of a house? I heard that he has now bought a farm and house in Red Sandalwood Castle, [-] miles away in the eastern suburbs. I don't know where it is."
Liu Mei secretly sighed in her heart, feeling a little worthless for Jiang Yuhan: Baoyu is really a pig teammate!The others only threatened a few words, and they made all the confessions. The speed of this confession was exactly as fast as in the original book!
Hearing the words, Shiqing snorted, and asked again: "What are you doing here now, young master?"
When Baoyu heard this, he shook his hand quickly: "It's nothing, it's nothing... Passing by, I don't dare to disturb the prince's important business, so I will take my leave... I will take my leave." Saying this, he quickly made a bow, was carried by Mingyan, turned around and left.
Liu Mei's eyes widened in astonishment behind her - did Baoyu leave her here?
When she used to look at the Red Mansion, whenever she saw Baoyu, she always mourned her misfortune and angered her indisputablely. When she grew up in the hands of a woman in a deep house, she eventually lost her temper and couldn't protect the important people around her.
Now, Baoyu didn't think of her at all, not only that, when Prince Zhongshun threatened him so much, Baoyu even forgot her sisters in an instant.
Liu Mei stared at Baoyu leaving in a hurry, and then remembered the god in front of her, smiled and bowed her knees slightly to salute, then quietly backed away, trying to slip away.
When the servants of Prince Jing's Mansion saw this great god, they repeatedly called "Prince", and rushed to welcome Prince Zhongshun to the outer hall of the other courtyard.
"You—" Shiqing pointed at the tip of Liu Mei's nose bluntly, resisting her urge to slip away, "You are waiting here!"
Liu Mei wants to cry but has no tears—she is a little girl from Rongguo Mansion, and she only works part-time in Hongshun Building occasionally, so why should she just obey his orders?
Fortunately, it didn't take long for Shiqing's voice to fall, and the dust on the official road in the distance rose again, and this time it was the righteous master, Wang Shirong of Beijing County, who arrived.
"Brother Shiqing?" King Beijing was quite surprised to see Shiqing, "What happened?"
"The emperor has an order, ordering you to go to Ping'an Prefecture for business immediately with this king." Shi Qing did not shy away from it, and said these words in a flat manner.
"Immediately?" King Beijing was quite surprised when he heard the news, "My younger brother wanted to serve my mother and recuperate in a separate courtyard here for a few days. Brother Wang, what is the urgent matter?"
"I don't want to say it here, but since the concubine has already left the city, the younger brother might as well serve the concubine and go to Ping'an Prefecture together. Ping'an Prefecture has always had a cool and pleasant climate, which is not as hot as Beijing."
After hearing this, Liu Mei was secretly depressed: It was obviously a good situation just now, but in a blink of an eye, the old hen turned into a duck—not only the King of Beijing is going to leave the capital, but even Princess Beijing, who just promised to take care of Daiyu, is also going out. It's Beijing.
Wang Shirong of Beijing discussed with Shiqing in a low voice for a moment, then straightened up, nodded and said, "Brother Wang, wait here for a while, I'll wait for my younger brother to ask my mother what she means."
Liu Mei was embarrassed now, she was in the same place with the fierce god, so she could only watch the wood with her eyes and nose carefully.
"System, system... Shiqing, Shiqing big brother..."
She summoned her own system in her consciousness, and the system has been surprisingly quiet all day today.At this moment, she summoned for a long time, but the system was not even online, and I don't know what bug happened.
After about a stick of incense, King Beijing came out in a hurry, and only said to Shiqing: "I have already agreed with my mother, my younger brother and brother Wang will go to Ping'an Prefecture first, and my mother will make some arrangements and leave tomorrow. "
He paused, and then said: "When I went in just now, my mother had a foreign family member there, so it is inconvenient for my mother to come out to see each other, please forgive me, Brother Wang."
Prince Zhongshun got up immediately upon hearing the words, nodded and said, "It's okay, let's talk! Let's go, before we leave Beijing, let's go to a place to take a look."
King Bei Jing asked casually, "Where is it?"
"Twenty miles away in the eastern suburbs, Red Sandalwood Castle!"
Liu Mei came out with Sister Feng Daiyu's car, the other courtyard was cool, and Daiyu's summer heat had mostly subsided, and she was in good spirits after eating and drinking again.Sister Feng was not in a very high mood, she half leaned against the car, her expression was weary, and she didn't speak much.
When I was young, I returned to Qingxu Temple and entered the mountain gate.Baoyu waits on Mother Jia and welcomes her out.
Ping'er arrived before Sister Feng and Daiyu's car. When she saw Jia Mu coming out, she hurried to pick up Sister Feng and helped her down.
At this time, a ten-year-old Taoist priest who specializes in cutting candles everywhere, saw a female family member coming, and was about to retreat. In a panic, he bumped into Sister Feng.Sister Feng was furious, raised her hand, slapped her face, and spat, "Where is Hu Chao?"
Seeing this, Ping'er quickly persuaded her: "Grandma carefully hurts her hands."
The little Taoist was beaten so dizzy that he ran towards Jia Mu again.
Mother Jia didn't have time to care about the "poor" little Taoist priest any more, and let the servant woman beat the little Taoist priest out, she just called out repeatedly: "Feng girl, come here, so I can tell you what happened today." Something happened!"
Baoyu is supporting Jia Mu at the moment, while Mrs. Xing, Aunt Xue and others stand far behind.
Looking from a distance, Liu Mei felt that Mother Jia had a rather angry look on her face, while Mrs. Xing smiled at the corners of her lips, as if she was a little smug.
When Jia Mu opened her mouth, Sister Feng walked straight to Jia Mu without stopping.However, within a few steps, the anger and tiredness on her face had long since disappeared, and a pretty face was full of smiles, and she stepped forward and took Jiamu's hand: "Old lady, granddaughter-in-law is coming to see you." Said it, this is a good thing for our Rongfu!"
Baoyu's face turned pale, and he didn't know if he was frightened earlier.But Sister Feng beckoned: "Brother Bao is coming too!" Then she took Jiamu and Baoyu to talk in the quiet room prepared in advance by Qingxu Temple.
Liu Mei is behind, together with Zijuan Xueyan, helps Daiyu out of the car.When Baochai Tanchun and other sisters met, they went to talk to Daiyu.
It took a long time for Sister Feng to come out with Jia Mu and Baoyu.I don't know how she coaxed her, but when she came out, Jiamu's face was as warm as a spring breeze, and Baoyu was also smiling, as if she had let go of her heart.
"Feng girl did nothing wrong today, but the second daughter-in-law is not here today. If she is, she must take her with her, so that our house will not look rude. Next time you encounter such a thing, remember to communicate with her earlier. Your aunt said, remember?"
Sister Feng responded with a smile, and Mrs. Xing, who was about to watch a joke, immediately turned dark and retreated depressedly.
"Baoyu is too, reckless, turn around and tell your father, if he knows carefully, he will beat you!" Jia's mother severely reprimanded Baoyu.When Baoyu heard Jia Zheng's name, he shrugged his shoulders, stuck out his tongue, and then wrapped his arms around Jia Mu like a twisted candy, laughing for a while.Only then did everyone in Jia's mansion pack up, and slowly set off from Qingxu Temple to return to their mansion.
On the way back home, Zijuan Xueyan was very excited when she talked about what she had seen and heard in the other courtyard.Daiyu remained indifferent, Liu Mei reckoned that it should be because she was aroused nostalgia in the Beijing Bieyuan at noon.
Liu Mei watched secretly, thinking to herself, with Daiyu's state of mind at this time, there should be absolutely no chance to quarrel with Baoyu over a trivial matter!
She had asked Zijuan, and she knew that because King Beijing came and left in a hurry today, and Concubine Beijing needed to tidy up again, the originally special lunch banquet broke up hastily.Concubine Bei Jing just asked Daiyu to take care of herself, and she will talk about it when she returns to Beijing.
Liu Mei felt a pity when she thought of this, if it is said that King Jing and Daiyu are really a couple that Sister Feng is trying to get together, the fate between them seems to be a little bit off.
No, this is not a little bit of fate!Liu Mei suddenly came to her senses - so angry!This is clearly the fierce and obedient prince: it is true that he scared Baoyu away, but he also brought along an oral order, so he packed up the king of Beijing and the concubine and swept away.
Liu Mei was secretly feeling aggrieved, when she heard a "ding", the system in her mind went online.
"You called me before, are you okay?"
"Where have you been?" Liu Mei asked without saying anything.
"The system is upgraded, and online services are temporarily unavailable." The system didn't care about Liu Mei's bad tone, "Now start to calculate your task completion status. The dishes you completed today include..."
"Hey!..." Liu Mei didn't care at all how much her system gold coins had increased!
"So what you care about is Jiangzhu." The system's voice was slightly cold.
"Hmph, it's not because of your prototype..." Because of Shiqing, Liu Mei inevitably angered the system, "It's such a hot day, why are you running around to make trouble!"
"With just one noon meal, do you think you can change the fact that Jiangzhu still tears in the lower realm?" The system is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and immediately returned honestly and bluntly.
Liu Mei was a little silent after hearing the sarcasm.
——She was too impatient.
——But it's no wonder she was impatient.
While appreciating and admiring the people around Baoyu more and more, at the same time seeing Baoyu so gentle and weak, how could she not be in a hurry?
Liu Mei took a light breath, lifted a little bit of the car curtain, and secretly looked at the scenery outside the car window.Others only said that it was her first time to go out of the mansion and she was greedy for the scenery along the way, but no one knew that Liu Mei was full of melancholy and it was difficult to dispel it.
"Why do you human beings always worry about things that have nothing to do with you?" The system said suddenly. "Crimson Pearl's fate, does it have anything to do with your completion of the mission?"
"This is called 'empathy', do you understand?" Liu Mei was also angry, "Seeing that others are doing well, I am happy for her and hope that she will have a good result; seeing others are struggling, I am nervous for her and willing to do what I can to help her through the difficulties. Such a simple thing..."
She will also pretend to be arrogant: "But such a simple sincerity, you can't understand it with a program of tens of thousands of lines!"
"But why..."
The system's words were immediately interrupted by Liu Mei, "Why do you always ask why?"
The system chattered and asked again and again, which reminded Liu Mei of her little niece in her world—the child always looked curious, sneaked in while Liu Mei was making pastries and biscuits, and pulled her left to say "why?" A "what" - children's curiosity is always overwhelming.
However, her little niece is easy to pass away, stuffing a small piece of freshly baked biscuit or cake in her mouth, and half a piece of chocolate in her pocket can keep her from being disturbed for an hour-unlike this system, Still asking, "Why can't I ask why?"
A thought came to Liu Mei's mind, and she wanted to smirk immediately, "I said the system, that... ahem, the world situation system, although you are only a program with tens of thousands of lines, you seem to have a psychological state of our human beings. oh!"
"What mental state?" The system was immediately tricked.
"It's just curiosity!" Liu Mei tried to calm herself down, she must be serious in both body and mind, absolutely not laughing, absolutely not laughing!
"Curiosity is a state of mind. It exists in all languages and cultures. It can be seen that it is shared by all human beings." Liu Meishuang turned into a popular science teacher, "To put it bluntly, I just keep asking why!"
"Sometimes this 'curiosity' is also a very scary state of mind. I don't know if you have heard the saying, 'Curiosity kills the cat'?" Liu Mei earnestly said, "It is said that cats have nine lives, but they can also be "curiosity". Curiosity' killed, it can be seen that this state is quite dangerous."
"Then here comes the problem!" She desperately resisted the urge to laugh, and reminded the system very sincerely in her mind, "Brother Shiqing, you are just a program with tens of thousands of lines, and you don't seem to understand it." 'Compassion', or 'come and hurt each other' and other human-specific emotions, but why are you 'curious'?"
One sentence made the system stunned: "Why am I 'curious'?"
"Look, you are asking why again!" Liu Mei reminded, "Be careful, this is a very dangerous state!"
Reminiscing about her earlier experience, she added another sentence: "Is there a bug when you upgraded earlier today, where did it break?"
The system made a "ding" sound, and a prompt sound came, "Start the self-test program, start the self-test program!"
"Real-time queries for 'curious' source fields..."
"Curiosity, curiosity, describes the extra interest and freshness of things that you don't understand. Specifically, it can be manifested as repeatedly asking for evidence and getting to the bottom of it..."
Liu Mei gave the system a thumbs up in her heart, "Summary is very powerful, please keep working hard!"
Since she came to this world, she has always been controlled by this system. She has to complete whatever task is asked her to complete. Suddenly, she will encounter dangerous and inexplicable additional tasks, and she is always threatened to return to level 0.Liu Mei had long felt very upset.
But unexpectedly, today she was taught to seize such an opportunity to dig a huge hole for this unlucky system to jump into.
The system checks itself very seriously, repeatedly probing a question: why do I ask "why".
But the more this is the case, the more difficult it is for the system to get out.Liu Mei looked at it coldly, feeling that the system's program sentences had begun to be reorganized, and she was about to start thinking about the three classical philosophical questions of "who am I", "where did I come from" and "where are we going".
The chaotic state of the system continued until Liu Mei and the others returned to the Grand View Garden.Even until Liu Mei tidied up, washed up and went to sleep, there was a "ding" sound in her mind from time to time-the system restarted from time to time, going online and offline, trying to solve its bugs.
Liu Mei slept extremely peacefully and proudly.
It's just that at midnight, Liu Mei was still half asleep and half awake, and she heard the system repeatedly researching what is "compassion" and what is "come and hurt each other"... She really felt a little compassion, He muttered a little, "Brother System, I'm so sorry!"
Liu Mei muttered a few words, turned over and continued to join Zhou Gong, only vaguely heard the deep and melodious man's voice sighing softly.
With a "ding", the system went online refreshed the next morning, "Good morning, Liu Mei!"
"morning--"
Liu Mei didn't remember the system ever greeting her good morning, this abnormality made her very uncomfortable.
"Calculate the completion of your tasks yesterday. A total of four cold dishes, four hot fried dishes, and two hot bowls have been completed. There are ten dishes that meet the requirements, and three dishes that can be rewarded with fifty gold coins from the system..."
Liu Mei stretched out her hands and rubbed her face, but she really didn't react, "Wait, wait!"
"... Your... bug has been fixed?"
The system suddenly started chattering, and she felt something was wrong.
"Thank you for your concern, it has been repaired!" The system said in a flat tone, and continued to remind her of the system's gold coin balance, and then went offline.
Liu Mei sat on the couch, she didn't feel a little dazed, it took a long time to realize, repaired?Such a big hole was still repeated last night, and it was repaired in such a night?
Looking up, it was late, the sun was shining brightly on the window paper, Liu Mei thought of Daiyu, got up immediately, washed up in a hurry, and was about to go to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
When going out, everyone in Yihong Academy greeted Liu Mei one after another: "Mei'er", "Liu girl", "Sister Liu Mei"...
It seems that purchasing on behalf of others is really a very popular thing.
Yesterday she made a coincidence: because Mingyan coaxed Baoyu to go out of Qingxu to look for Fengjie Daiyu, Liu Mei gave Mingyan a good meal and threatened to tell "Sister Hua".Just when Mingyan was stupefied by her, Liu Mei threw out a long purchasing agent list.
Mingyan naturally grimaced and went to run errands.
Liu Mei went to buy what Qingwen wanted, and took the big and small bags that Mingyan brought in, and carried them to Yihong Courtyard.
——Overnight, her popularity became like this.
Liu Mei looked at the enthusiastic faces, and thought to herself, I'm afraid that the extra money was put into it yesterday when I purchased Mingyan as an agent.
Du Qingwen was indifferent, seeing Liu Mei running out, she couldn't help but said: "Hey, are you going to make the tea stove today?"
Liu Mei quickly retracted her legs, "No, no, today's errand is to water the flowers under the porch. I just finished watering."
Qingwen stopped talking and let Liu Mei go out.
When he arrived at the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Liu Mei first looked at the food delivered by the kitchen—they were japonica rice porridge boiled with jujube, four kinds of side dishes such as chili oil watermelon sauce, fried radish with sauce, and a freshly stir-fried chicken and melon with artemisia annua. There is a pastry auspicious fruit.Compared with the food in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion before, it is much better.
Zijuan came out to meet Liu Mei, saw her looking at Daiyu's diet, and even said, "It's all thanks to Grandma Lian and Mei'er."
But Liu Mei is still a bit regretful—it’s all about the others, except for the fried chicken and melon with reed wormwood, which was fried by the kitchen outside the garden, and then sent into the garden, it would be a bit cold, the reed wormwood was a little soft, and the chicken The melon is slightly old and not in the best state of taste.
Zijuan smiled and said, "We are quite satisfied."
Liu Mei then secretly inquired about Daiyu's return last night. Zijuan knew what she meant, nodded quickly and said, "It's very good. I only read the poems for a while when I came back, and then I took a rest early."
——Finally there was no quarrel!
Liu Mei felt so happy, she was finally able to change the story of the Red Mansion in a small way—although the credit cannot be entirely attributed to her, but she and Sister Feng should have completed this matter together.
After spending half an hour at Daiyu's place, Xueyan rushed in, saying that it was bustling outside, and the women were preparing to get off the boat by the water.Liu Mei was heartbroken, and immediately followed Xueyan and Feng'er to run out to have a look.
Sure enough, it was a few powerful daughter-in-laws in the garden, who were propping up their boats, and were going to fish some new red water chestnuts along the waterway on the side of Qinfangquan, so that everyone in Jia's house could try them.In addition to the mother-in-law, there are also some servants and servants who are guarding the other side of Qinfang Spring.
Liu Mei had used red water chestnuts in dishes yesterday in Beijing Bieyuan. Today, I saw the red water chestnuts scooped up from the Qinfang gate.She was very pleased with herself, so she planned to ask the leading servant for some to send to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
The leading servant girl is the new lady in charge of the big kitchen. When she saw Liu Mei and heard that it was wanted by the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, how could she dare to refuse? Give it to Liu Mei.
"Lian Er|Grandma told me that it grows in her own pond, and it is also left alone. It is better to fish it out and give it to the old ladies, wives, and girls to taste something new. Some daughter-in-laws who can fish water chestnuts on boats also Can share some benefits."
Sister Feng ordered it again?
This is much earlier than when Baochai Tanchun and the others were making good and eliminating bad in the Grand View Garden!
Liu Mei thought of Sister Feng and was lost for a while.She remembered what the system had said, that she couldn't directly contact the finisher of another quest line.Looking at it now, Liu Mei felt that the two of them were actually quite tacit, and they were happy to cooperate.But whether such a situation can continue like this is hard to say.
Just as she was thinking, Liu Mei saw a young fellow on the other side staring at her from a distance with straight eyes.Meeting Liu Mei's gaze, the other party immediately grinned.
Liu Mei became annoyed, she had lived in Jia's mansion for the past two years, her head had already started to twitch, and her face was gradually growing.Every morning when she washes her face with water, that small appearance can make her look good for a while.
But meeting such a dignified admirer, Liu Mei was secretly annoyed—after all, her face control attribute is relatively serious.
Liu Mei ignored the person on the other side, turned around and left with a dustpan of fresh water chestnuts in her arms, and returned to Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and together with Zijuan and the others, peeled off the juicy water chestnuts one by one.Liu Mei boiled boiling water, scalded the water chestnut, cooked all the water chestnuts, then added a little soy sauce, a little tea oil, mixed with chopsticks, and gave it to Zicuckoo and the others. Everyone agreed.
It's just that the red water chestnut is slightly cold, so Du Daiyu can't eat more, so she only ate two, and then she smiled and watched Liu Mei and the others feasting on it.
At noon, Liu Mei went back to Yihong Courtyard for a lunch break. Not long after she had a break, she heard Jiahui and the others gossip outside the window, saying that Jin Chuan from the second wife's room had been kicked out.
Don't think too much, it must be Baoyu and Jin Chuan who were joking and talking naughty at noon. When Mrs. Wang heard it, she slapped her and scolded her severely, and ordered her family to take Jin Chuan out.
Immediately in Liu Mei's mind, Jin Chuan's appearance when he came to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion to deliver the bird's nest that day, youthful and bright, with the rouge on his lips delicate and charming.
But when he thought about the tragic situation after Jin Chuan's death in the original book, Liu Mei broke out in a cold sweat, turned over, and hurried to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
After all, Jin Chuan and Liu Mei had only seen one side.The death of Jin Chuan was not caused by Liu Mei, nor had anything to do with Liu Mei.Liu Mei is not a white lotus of the Holy Mother, so there is no need to take this matter on herself.
But Liu Mei also knew that Zijuan was the son of Jia's family and was familiar with Jin Chuan. Although she didn't have a lot of sympathy, after all, there were others who would feel sad because of Jin Chuan's death.
So Liu Mei found Zijuan, and only raised her head, Zijuan stopped and said, "You mean... Madam pushed Jin Chuan out?"
"how come?"
Zicuckoo kept rubbing her hands together, looking very nervous.
"Jin Chuan has worked as an errand for the second wife for more than ten years, and has always been regarded as her right-hand man. Now that she has been kicked out, how can she keep face!"
Liu Mei was praising Zicuckoo in her heart, and secretly encouraged her to use a little more imagination.
"Yes, I have to find a chance to visit Jin Chuan's house, so I can persuade her." Zijuan stood up immediately after speaking, and walked outside the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
"Sister Zijuan, you... remind Sister Jin Chuan's family members that this is the time when she needs the most care and company." Liu Mei expressed what she wanted to say in a roundabout way. After all, she had only met Jin Chuan. On the other hand, you can't just open your mouth and say that Jin Chuan is going to commit suicide!
Zicuckoo responded, and it will take a long time to go.Before leaving, Zijuan asks Liu Mei to take care of Daiyu's lunch break, and Liu Mei of course agrees.
In the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, only the red sun is in the sky, the bamboo shade is everywhere, and no one speaks.
Without warning, the voice of the system rang in Liu Mei's mind, "Is this what you said, 'compassion'?"
Liu Mei was stunned, "Why are you asking this?"
The voice of the system said plainly: "Nothing, just confirm."
Liu Mei sighed, and answered in her heart, "Yes!"
The system let out an "oh", and when he spoke again, his voice turned slightly colder, "It is said that you humans still have a way of speaking called 'splashing cold water'?"
Liu Mei was stunned, thinking, after upgrading the self-test, the learning ability of the world situation system seems to have suddenly strengthened, but the EQ seems to be the same - but it is difficult for a system to have a high EQ.
She immediately said calmly: "If you want to pour cold water, let the horse come here, I can bear it!"
The system is still the same indifferent and precise system, just listen to it slowly say in a low and moving voice: "You must have noticed that in this world, some of the things you know clearly will change completely, or even change completely. It won’t happen; and some things will change slightly, but the ending will remain the same. Have you ever noticed that these two types of things have their own characteristics?”
When Liu Mei heard the system mentioning this, she immediately began to think about it from the beginning: There have been minor changes, but the ending remains the same, none other than the "Maple Dew Tea" incident in which Qianxue was kicked out for tea.It happened one day later, and Qianxue even remade a cup of tea, but she was driven away anyway; and the whole change, or even nothing happened, was the case of Sister Baoyufeng of Ma Daopo Nightmare Town.Before Ma Daopo could make a move, she was bumped into by Sister Feng, twisted and sent to the official.So Sister Baoyufeng is fine, even the monks never appeared at all, even if they did appear, it was just mixed in her Liu Mei's dream.
Liu Mei was concentrating, and suddenly remembered that there is actually another kind of thing that didn't happen in the original book - just like this time when Concubine Bei Jing invited her, everything was obviously fine, but in the end, things seemed to be unavoidable Returning to the original state - Princess Beijing and Daiyu just met by chance, and they left after seeing each other; and King Beijing himself came and went in a hurry, even passing by.
"You mean..." Liu Mei suddenly understood in her heart, but in this hot afternoon, Liu Mei felt a little cold behind her back.
"You mean, the key to the fate of a character, even if it is a trivial matter, cannot be easily changed." ——Just like Qianxue's cup of tea.
"And those incidents that do not affect the overall situation of the story, but are just a set of twists and turns, can be completely ignored no matter how big they are?" Liu Mei recalled in amazement that Sister Feng and Baoyu had been unconscious for many days in the original story, and even the coffin was prepared. They got off, but later the two of them woke up unharmed.As for Ma Daopo, in the last forty chapters, she was indeed discovered because of the Nightmare Town technique, and she was turned away and sent to the official.
In this way... She thought that there seemed to be a little fate between King Jing and Daiyu. In fact, it was not a lack of fate, but a pair of invisible hands behind her that silently changed the direction of the matter. .
"You mean, you mean..."
Could the system be reminding her that the attributes of the big coffee table in the world of Red Mansions can be easily changed by non-manpower?
Liu Mei was alone, standing under the porch of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, watching a cloud drifting over from the sky, gradually covering the sky, the sky was dark, and after a while, the big raindrops fell down.
The system seemed very satisfied with the result of Liu Mei's deduction, and said to Liu Mei very gracefully: "Goodbye!" Then it went offline with a "ding".
The summer rain comes and goes quickly, and by the time Zicuckoo comes back from the outside, the rain has already stopped.Daiyu had already got up, Liu Mei made her a cup of good tea, and Daiyu lent her a miscellaneous book, and asked her to sit by the window and read slowly.
"After persuasion for a long time, I have said everything that needs to be said. Jin Chuan'er has been crying, crying too much, saying that she will have no face to see people anymore." Zijuan led Liu Mei to a room in the backyard of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and the two of them put their heads together. , speaking in a whisper.
"I advised her not to think about entering the mansion again." Zijuan's tone was very firm, "Speaking of which, the second wife is just a momentary whim, who knows what will happen later? Could it be possible that she will spend all her time in this mansion in the future? There are so many people here, I don’t know, can a dog’s mouth spit out ivory?”
Liu Mei nodded: This is what people say.
"What's more, she has worked diligently in the past few years, and she has accumulated quite a lot of wealth. It's better to leave the house and find a good family outside, and live a down-to-earth life. Wouldn't it be better to be frightened in front of such a master."
After listening to these words, Liu Mei felt a little admiration—Zicuckoo sees this matter clearly, and she is so courageous, it is rare among the maidservants in the Grand View Garden to say such words.
"Then... did sister Jin Chuan listen to the persuasion?" Liu Mei asked worriedly.
Zijuan nodded, shook her head again, was stunned for a while, and then said firmly: "Today I made it clear to Aunt Bai's family that the teacher must guard Jin Chuan. I will go to see her tomorrow!"
"She just can't save face, and she can't turn around in her heart. But if she must humiliate herself for the sake of face, then don't even think about living a good life in the future."
As Zijuan said, Liu Mei nodded, thinking that it was the right thing to find Zijuan this time.
She secretly prayed in her heart——Sister Jin Chuan, don't get overwhelmed, and hold on!
Zijuan really went to Bai's house the next day, and went back again after two days, and finally brought back good news, saying that Jin Chuan nodded, and the old aunt of Bai's family went to the outside of the city to make a kiss. The simple family in the village, heard that Jin Chuan is the maidservant of everyone, and attaches great importance to this relative.The Bai family was very satisfied, and Jin Chuan's mind slowly changed. He accepted the marriage and just lived in peace, waiting for the other party to come to marry him.
On the side of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, another guest came to guide and inspect the catering work of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.Liu Mei happened to meet her.
"Sister Lin, why don't you go to Sister Bao's place to find us to play together—"
When Liu Mei bit her tongue and talked like this, she felt uncomfortable.
The person who came was Xiangyun, the niece and granddaughter of Mrs. Jia's mother Shi.
Before the sisters of the Jia family moved into the Grand View Garden, whenever they came to Xiangyun, they were mostly crowded with Daiyu.After moving into the Grand View Garden, due to the small space of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Xiangyun lived in the brighter Hengwu Garden, where he ate and lived with Baochai.
This time, Xiangyun came to visit Daiyu in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion early, but immediately found that Daiyu’s morning diet was quite different, and asked in surprise: “Hey, sister Lin, have you changed the cook here? Sister Bao doesn’t seem to have much. Change!"
Zijuan was making tea for Xiangyun, and she smiled immediately after hearing this: "Miss Shi was joking, there is a big kitchen in this mansion, how can there be any difference in each place?"
While talking, Xueyan came in with a small official kiln plum flower cup, brought it to Daiyu, and handed her a silver spoon.Daiyu has long been used to it, and now she takes small sips.
Xiangyun looked at it from the side and felt surprised, so he asked what it was.Daiyu only said it was rice oil, but it was actually rice soup, according to the book. "It is said in the book that drinking a small cup every morning can slowly nourish and nourish the stomach, and gradually the diet will be better. And this thing is not expensive. Xueyan and the others can cook it every morning when they wake up. Give me a handful of polished round-grained rice."
"Hey, sister Lin, didn't your wife give you a big pack of blood swallows?"
Xiangyun has always been used to being outspoken, so she asked this out, and no one in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion cared.
Only Zijuan smiled, and asked seemingly casually: "Where did the young lady know about the blood swallow?"
After hearing Zijuan's words, Xiangyun felt that he had made a slip of the tongue. He was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Liu Mei waiting at the side, he interrupted himself and said, "Hey, isn't this girl from Aigege's courtyard? Madam is really kind." , Send such a smart person to Sister Lin."
Liu Mei was suddenly embarrassed.
The author has something to say: Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow will be updated at noon for the time being, thank you for your support!
"Aren't you... the cook from Hongshun Tower?"
"Yes...she is the cook of Hongshun Tower..." Before Liu Mei could speak, Baoyu answered for her with a trembling voice.
Liu Mei was still wondering, that day at Hongshun Tower, although she saw Baoyu, Baoyu had never seen her face to face.Baoyu probably didn't know what she was doing in Hongshun Tower!
After a while, Liu Mei finally understood that no matter what Prince Zhongshun asked him, he would always answer "Yes Yes Yes" and "Yes Yes Yes".
The person Baoyu is most afraid of now is not his father Jia Zheng, but this one in front of him.
"I heard that the second young master has been in close contact with Jiang Qiguan, an actor in our house recently?" Shiqing turned his eyes away from Baoyu's face, "Yes yes yes... no, no..." Baoyu woke up in fright, Quickly change your mouth.
"Then, where is Qi Guan now, does Second Young Master know?" Zhongshun Prince Shiqing asked softly with a smile on his face.But it is this kind of gentle attitude, combined with the occasional cold look in the pair of deep eyes, which makes Baoyu more and more frightened.
"If it's another actor, that's all right. Only this Qi official, who answered randomly, was cautious and mature, is very in line with my old man's wishes, so I can't leave." Seeing Baoyu like this, Shiqing's tone immediately contained some contempt and sarcasm. .
Liu Mei huddled aside, lowered her head and gently rubbed the corner of her clothes, secretly cursing in her heart: You old man, you are really old!She lowered her head, so she didn't notice that Shiqing's sharp eyes glanced past her seemingly inadvertently.
"It's true that I have never...never been familiar with this Qiguan." Baoyu struggled to respond.
Shi Qing immediately laughed when he heard the words.
"That night in Hongshun Tower, this king could see clearly, if the young master and Qiguan... are not familiar with each other," Shiqing's mouth slightly twitched, and he said it was a smile, but there was endless sarcasm, "Then how did Qian Xiangluo get to the young master's waist?"
Baoyu had already woken up from the little drink in the afternoon, but cold sweat was profuse on his forehead in the hot weather.Confused, he finally opened his mouth: "Does the lord not know about Qiguan's purchase of a house? I heard that he has now bought a farm and house in Red Sandalwood Castle, [-] miles away in the eastern suburbs. I don't know where it is."
Liu Mei secretly sighed in her heart, feeling a little worthless for Jiang Yuhan: Baoyu is really a pig teammate!The others only threatened a few words, and they made all the confessions. The speed of this confession was exactly as fast as in the original book!
Hearing the words, Shiqing snorted, and asked again: "What are you doing here now, young master?"
When Baoyu heard this, he shook his hand quickly: "It's nothing, it's nothing... Passing by, I don't dare to disturb the prince's important business, so I will take my leave... I will take my leave." Saying this, he quickly made a bow, was carried by Mingyan, turned around and left.
Liu Mei's eyes widened in astonishment behind her - did Baoyu leave her here?
When she used to look at the Red Mansion, whenever she saw Baoyu, she always mourned her misfortune and angered her indisputablely. When she grew up in the hands of a woman in a deep house, she eventually lost her temper and couldn't protect the important people around her.
Now, Baoyu didn't think of her at all, not only that, when Prince Zhongshun threatened him so much, Baoyu even forgot her sisters in an instant.
Liu Mei stared at Baoyu leaving in a hurry, and then remembered the god in front of her, smiled and bowed her knees slightly to salute, then quietly backed away, trying to slip away.
When the servants of Prince Jing's Mansion saw this great god, they repeatedly called "Prince", and rushed to welcome Prince Zhongshun to the outer hall of the other courtyard.
"You—" Shiqing pointed at the tip of Liu Mei's nose bluntly, resisting her urge to slip away, "You are waiting here!"
Liu Mei wants to cry but has no tears—she is a little girl from Rongguo Mansion, and she only works part-time in Hongshun Building occasionally, so why should she just obey his orders?
Fortunately, it didn't take long for Shiqing's voice to fall, and the dust on the official road in the distance rose again, and this time it was the righteous master, Wang Shirong of Beijing County, who arrived.
"Brother Shiqing?" King Beijing was quite surprised to see Shiqing, "What happened?"
"The emperor has an order, ordering you to go to Ping'an Prefecture for business immediately with this king." Shi Qing did not shy away from it, and said these words in a flat manner.
"Immediately?" King Beijing was quite surprised when he heard the news, "My younger brother wanted to serve my mother and recuperate in a separate courtyard here for a few days. Brother Wang, what is the urgent matter?"
"I don't want to say it here, but since the concubine has already left the city, the younger brother might as well serve the concubine and go to Ping'an Prefecture together. Ping'an Prefecture has always had a cool and pleasant climate, which is not as hot as Beijing."
After hearing this, Liu Mei was secretly depressed: It was obviously a good situation just now, but in a blink of an eye, the old hen turned into a duck—not only the King of Beijing is going to leave the capital, but even Princess Beijing, who just promised to take care of Daiyu, is also going out. It's Beijing.
Wang Shirong of Beijing discussed with Shiqing in a low voice for a moment, then straightened up, nodded and said, "Brother Wang, wait here for a while, I'll wait for my younger brother to ask my mother what she means."
Liu Mei was embarrassed now, she was in the same place with the fierce god, so she could only watch the wood with her eyes and nose carefully.
"System, system... Shiqing, Shiqing big brother..."
She summoned her own system in her consciousness, and the system has been surprisingly quiet all day today.At this moment, she summoned for a long time, but the system was not even online, and I don't know what bug happened.
After about a stick of incense, King Beijing came out in a hurry, and only said to Shiqing: "I have already agreed with my mother, my younger brother and brother Wang will go to Ping'an Prefecture first, and my mother will make some arrangements and leave tomorrow. "
He paused, and then said: "When I went in just now, my mother had a foreign family member there, so it is inconvenient for my mother to come out to see each other, please forgive me, Brother Wang."
Prince Zhongshun got up immediately upon hearing the words, nodded and said, "It's okay, let's talk! Let's go, before we leave Beijing, let's go to a place to take a look."
King Bei Jing asked casually, "Where is it?"
"Twenty miles away in the eastern suburbs, Red Sandalwood Castle!"
Liu Mei came out with Sister Feng Daiyu's car, the other courtyard was cool, and Daiyu's summer heat had mostly subsided, and she was in good spirits after eating and drinking again.Sister Feng was not in a very high mood, she half leaned against the car, her expression was weary, and she didn't speak much.
When I was young, I returned to Qingxu Temple and entered the mountain gate.Baoyu waits on Mother Jia and welcomes her out.
Ping'er arrived before Sister Feng and Daiyu's car. When she saw Jia Mu coming out, she hurried to pick up Sister Feng and helped her down.
At this time, a ten-year-old Taoist priest who specializes in cutting candles everywhere, saw a female family member coming, and was about to retreat. In a panic, he bumped into Sister Feng.Sister Feng was furious, raised her hand, slapped her face, and spat, "Where is Hu Chao?"
Seeing this, Ping'er quickly persuaded her: "Grandma carefully hurts her hands."
The little Taoist was beaten so dizzy that he ran towards Jia Mu again.
Mother Jia didn't have time to care about the "poor" little Taoist priest any more, and let the servant woman beat the little Taoist priest out, she just called out repeatedly: "Feng girl, come here, so I can tell you what happened today." Something happened!"
Baoyu is supporting Jia Mu at the moment, while Mrs. Xing, Aunt Xue and others stand far behind.
Looking from a distance, Liu Mei felt that Mother Jia had a rather angry look on her face, while Mrs. Xing smiled at the corners of her lips, as if she was a little smug.
When Jia Mu opened her mouth, Sister Feng walked straight to Jia Mu without stopping.However, within a few steps, the anger and tiredness on her face had long since disappeared, and a pretty face was full of smiles, and she stepped forward and took Jiamu's hand: "Old lady, granddaughter-in-law is coming to see you." Said it, this is a good thing for our Rongfu!"
Baoyu's face turned pale, and he didn't know if he was frightened earlier.But Sister Feng beckoned: "Brother Bao is coming too!" Then she took Jiamu and Baoyu to talk in the quiet room prepared in advance by Qingxu Temple.
Liu Mei is behind, together with Zijuan Xueyan, helps Daiyu out of the car.When Baochai Tanchun and other sisters met, they went to talk to Daiyu.
It took a long time for Sister Feng to come out with Jia Mu and Baoyu.I don't know how she coaxed her, but when she came out, Jiamu's face was as warm as a spring breeze, and Baoyu was also smiling, as if she had let go of her heart.
"Feng girl did nothing wrong today, but the second daughter-in-law is not here today. If she is, she must take her with her, so that our house will not look rude. Next time you encounter such a thing, remember to communicate with her earlier. Your aunt said, remember?"
Sister Feng responded with a smile, and Mrs. Xing, who was about to watch a joke, immediately turned dark and retreated depressedly.
"Baoyu is too, reckless, turn around and tell your father, if he knows carefully, he will beat you!" Jia's mother severely reprimanded Baoyu.When Baoyu heard Jia Zheng's name, he shrugged his shoulders, stuck out his tongue, and then wrapped his arms around Jia Mu like a twisted candy, laughing for a while.Only then did everyone in Jia's mansion pack up, and slowly set off from Qingxu Temple to return to their mansion.
On the way back home, Zijuan Xueyan was very excited when she talked about what she had seen and heard in the other courtyard.Daiyu remained indifferent, Liu Mei reckoned that it should be because she was aroused nostalgia in the Beijing Bieyuan at noon.
Liu Mei watched secretly, thinking to herself, with Daiyu's state of mind at this time, there should be absolutely no chance to quarrel with Baoyu over a trivial matter!
She had asked Zijuan, and she knew that because King Beijing came and left in a hurry today, and Concubine Beijing needed to tidy up again, the originally special lunch banquet broke up hastily.Concubine Bei Jing just asked Daiyu to take care of herself, and she will talk about it when she returns to Beijing.
Liu Mei felt a pity when she thought of this, if it is said that King Jing and Daiyu are really a couple that Sister Feng is trying to get together, the fate between them seems to be a little bit off.
No, this is not a little bit of fate!Liu Mei suddenly came to her senses - so angry!This is clearly the fierce and obedient prince: it is true that he scared Baoyu away, but he also brought along an oral order, so he packed up the king of Beijing and the concubine and swept away.
Liu Mei was secretly feeling aggrieved, when she heard a "ding", the system in her mind went online.
"You called me before, are you okay?"
"Where have you been?" Liu Mei asked without saying anything.
"The system is upgraded, and online services are temporarily unavailable." The system didn't care about Liu Mei's bad tone, "Now start to calculate your task completion status. The dishes you completed today include..."
"Hey!..." Liu Mei didn't care at all how much her system gold coins had increased!
"So what you care about is Jiangzhu." The system's voice was slightly cold.
"Hmph, it's not because of your prototype..." Because of Shiqing, Liu Mei inevitably angered the system, "It's such a hot day, why are you running around to make trouble!"
"With just one noon meal, do you think you can change the fact that Jiangzhu still tears in the lower realm?" The system is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and immediately returned honestly and bluntly.
Liu Mei was a little silent after hearing the sarcasm.
——She was too impatient.
——But it's no wonder she was impatient.
While appreciating and admiring the people around Baoyu more and more, at the same time seeing Baoyu so gentle and weak, how could she not be in a hurry?
Liu Mei took a light breath, lifted a little bit of the car curtain, and secretly looked at the scenery outside the car window.Others only said that it was her first time to go out of the mansion and she was greedy for the scenery along the way, but no one knew that Liu Mei was full of melancholy and it was difficult to dispel it.
"Why do you human beings always worry about things that have nothing to do with you?" The system said suddenly. "Crimson Pearl's fate, does it have anything to do with your completion of the mission?"
"This is called 'empathy', do you understand?" Liu Mei was also angry, "Seeing that others are doing well, I am happy for her and hope that she will have a good result; seeing others are struggling, I am nervous for her and willing to do what I can to help her through the difficulties. Such a simple thing..."
She will also pretend to be arrogant: "But such a simple sincerity, you can't understand it with a program of tens of thousands of lines!"
"But why..."
The system's words were immediately interrupted by Liu Mei, "Why do you always ask why?"
The system chattered and asked again and again, which reminded Liu Mei of her little niece in her world—the child always looked curious, sneaked in while Liu Mei was making pastries and biscuits, and pulled her left to say "why?" A "what" - children's curiosity is always overwhelming.
However, her little niece is easy to pass away, stuffing a small piece of freshly baked biscuit or cake in her mouth, and half a piece of chocolate in her pocket can keep her from being disturbed for an hour-unlike this system, Still asking, "Why can't I ask why?"
A thought came to Liu Mei's mind, and she wanted to smirk immediately, "I said the system, that... ahem, the world situation system, although you are only a program with tens of thousands of lines, you seem to have a psychological state of our human beings. oh!"
"What mental state?" The system was immediately tricked.
"It's just curiosity!" Liu Mei tried to calm herself down, she must be serious in both body and mind, absolutely not laughing, absolutely not laughing!
"Curiosity is a state of mind. It exists in all languages and cultures. It can be seen that it is shared by all human beings." Liu Meishuang turned into a popular science teacher, "To put it bluntly, I just keep asking why!"
"Sometimes this 'curiosity' is also a very scary state of mind. I don't know if you have heard the saying, 'Curiosity kills the cat'?" Liu Mei earnestly said, "It is said that cats have nine lives, but they can also be "curiosity". Curiosity' killed, it can be seen that this state is quite dangerous."
"Then here comes the problem!" She desperately resisted the urge to laugh, and reminded the system very sincerely in her mind, "Brother Shiqing, you are just a program with tens of thousands of lines, and you don't seem to understand it." 'Compassion', or 'come and hurt each other' and other human-specific emotions, but why are you 'curious'?"
One sentence made the system stunned: "Why am I 'curious'?"
"Look, you are asking why again!" Liu Mei reminded, "Be careful, this is a very dangerous state!"
Reminiscing about her earlier experience, she added another sentence: "Is there a bug when you upgraded earlier today, where did it break?"
The system made a "ding" sound, and a prompt sound came, "Start the self-test program, start the self-test program!"
"Real-time queries for 'curious' source fields..."
"Curiosity, curiosity, describes the extra interest and freshness of things that you don't understand. Specifically, it can be manifested as repeatedly asking for evidence and getting to the bottom of it..."
Liu Mei gave the system a thumbs up in her heart, "Summary is very powerful, please keep working hard!"
Since she came to this world, she has always been controlled by this system. She has to complete whatever task is asked her to complete. Suddenly, she will encounter dangerous and inexplicable additional tasks, and she is always threatened to return to level 0.Liu Mei had long felt very upset.
But unexpectedly, today she was taught to seize such an opportunity to dig a huge hole for this unlucky system to jump into.
The system checks itself very seriously, repeatedly probing a question: why do I ask "why".
But the more this is the case, the more difficult it is for the system to get out.Liu Mei looked at it coldly, feeling that the system's program sentences had begun to be reorganized, and she was about to start thinking about the three classical philosophical questions of "who am I", "where did I come from" and "where are we going".
The chaotic state of the system continued until Liu Mei and the others returned to the Grand View Garden.Even until Liu Mei tidied up, washed up and went to sleep, there was a "ding" sound in her mind from time to time-the system restarted from time to time, going online and offline, trying to solve its bugs.
Liu Mei slept extremely peacefully and proudly.
It's just that at midnight, Liu Mei was still half asleep and half awake, and she heard the system repeatedly researching what is "compassion" and what is "come and hurt each other"... She really felt a little compassion, He muttered a little, "Brother System, I'm so sorry!"
Liu Mei muttered a few words, turned over and continued to join Zhou Gong, only vaguely heard the deep and melodious man's voice sighing softly.
With a "ding", the system went online refreshed the next morning, "Good morning, Liu Mei!"
"morning--"
Liu Mei didn't remember the system ever greeting her good morning, this abnormality made her very uncomfortable.
"Calculate the completion of your tasks yesterday. A total of four cold dishes, four hot fried dishes, and two hot bowls have been completed. There are ten dishes that meet the requirements, and three dishes that can be rewarded with fifty gold coins from the system..."
Liu Mei stretched out her hands and rubbed her face, but she really didn't react, "Wait, wait!"
"... Your... bug has been fixed?"
The system suddenly started chattering, and she felt something was wrong.
"Thank you for your concern, it has been repaired!" The system said in a flat tone, and continued to remind her of the system's gold coin balance, and then went offline.
Liu Mei sat on the couch, she didn't feel a little dazed, it took a long time to realize, repaired?Such a big hole was still repeated last night, and it was repaired in such a night?
Looking up, it was late, the sun was shining brightly on the window paper, Liu Mei thought of Daiyu, got up immediately, washed up in a hurry, and was about to go to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
When going out, everyone in Yihong Academy greeted Liu Mei one after another: "Mei'er", "Liu girl", "Sister Liu Mei"...
It seems that purchasing on behalf of others is really a very popular thing.
Yesterday she made a coincidence: because Mingyan coaxed Baoyu to go out of Qingxu to look for Fengjie Daiyu, Liu Mei gave Mingyan a good meal and threatened to tell "Sister Hua".Just when Mingyan was stupefied by her, Liu Mei threw out a long purchasing agent list.
Mingyan naturally grimaced and went to run errands.
Liu Mei went to buy what Qingwen wanted, and took the big and small bags that Mingyan brought in, and carried them to Yihong Courtyard.
——Overnight, her popularity became like this.
Liu Mei looked at the enthusiastic faces, and thought to herself, I'm afraid that the extra money was put into it yesterday when I purchased Mingyan as an agent.
Du Qingwen was indifferent, seeing Liu Mei running out, she couldn't help but said: "Hey, are you going to make the tea stove today?"
Liu Mei quickly retracted her legs, "No, no, today's errand is to water the flowers under the porch. I just finished watering."
Qingwen stopped talking and let Liu Mei go out.
When he arrived at the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Liu Mei first looked at the food delivered by the kitchen—they were japonica rice porridge boiled with jujube, four kinds of side dishes such as chili oil watermelon sauce, fried radish with sauce, and a freshly stir-fried chicken and melon with artemisia annua. There is a pastry auspicious fruit.Compared with the food in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion before, it is much better.
Zijuan came out to meet Liu Mei, saw her looking at Daiyu's diet, and even said, "It's all thanks to Grandma Lian and Mei'er."
But Liu Mei is still a bit regretful—it’s all about the others, except for the fried chicken and melon with reed wormwood, which was fried by the kitchen outside the garden, and then sent into the garden, it would be a bit cold, the reed wormwood was a little soft, and the chicken The melon is slightly old and not in the best state of taste.
Zijuan smiled and said, "We are quite satisfied."
Liu Mei then secretly inquired about Daiyu's return last night. Zijuan knew what she meant, nodded quickly and said, "It's very good. I only read the poems for a while when I came back, and then I took a rest early."
——Finally there was no quarrel!
Liu Mei felt so happy, she was finally able to change the story of the Red Mansion in a small way—although the credit cannot be entirely attributed to her, but she and Sister Feng should have completed this matter together.
After spending half an hour at Daiyu's place, Xueyan rushed in, saying that it was bustling outside, and the women were preparing to get off the boat by the water.Liu Mei was heartbroken, and immediately followed Xueyan and Feng'er to run out to have a look.
Sure enough, it was a few powerful daughter-in-laws in the garden, who were propping up their boats, and were going to fish some new red water chestnuts along the waterway on the side of Qinfangquan, so that everyone in Jia's house could try them.In addition to the mother-in-law, there are also some servants and servants who are guarding the other side of Qinfang Spring.
Liu Mei had used red water chestnuts in dishes yesterday in Beijing Bieyuan. Today, I saw the red water chestnuts scooped up from the Qinfang gate.She was very pleased with herself, so she planned to ask the leading servant for some to send to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
The leading servant girl is the new lady in charge of the big kitchen. When she saw Liu Mei and heard that it was wanted by the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, how could she dare to refuse? Give it to Liu Mei.
"Lian Er|Grandma told me that it grows in her own pond, and it is also left alone. It is better to fish it out and give it to the old ladies, wives, and girls to taste something new. Some daughter-in-laws who can fish water chestnuts on boats also Can share some benefits."
Sister Feng ordered it again?
This is much earlier than when Baochai Tanchun and the others were making good and eliminating bad in the Grand View Garden!
Liu Mei thought of Sister Feng and was lost for a while.She remembered what the system had said, that she couldn't directly contact the finisher of another quest line.Looking at it now, Liu Mei felt that the two of them were actually quite tacit, and they were happy to cooperate.But whether such a situation can continue like this is hard to say.
Just as she was thinking, Liu Mei saw a young fellow on the other side staring at her from a distance with straight eyes.Meeting Liu Mei's gaze, the other party immediately grinned.
Liu Mei became annoyed, she had lived in Jia's mansion for the past two years, her head had already started to twitch, and her face was gradually growing.Every morning when she washes her face with water, that small appearance can make her look good for a while.
But meeting such a dignified admirer, Liu Mei was secretly annoyed—after all, her face control attribute is relatively serious.
Liu Mei ignored the person on the other side, turned around and left with a dustpan of fresh water chestnuts in her arms, and returned to Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and together with Zijuan and the others, peeled off the juicy water chestnuts one by one.Liu Mei boiled boiling water, scalded the water chestnut, cooked all the water chestnuts, then added a little soy sauce, a little tea oil, mixed with chopsticks, and gave it to Zicuckoo and the others. Everyone agreed.
It's just that the red water chestnut is slightly cold, so Du Daiyu can't eat more, so she only ate two, and then she smiled and watched Liu Mei and the others feasting on it.
At noon, Liu Mei went back to Yihong Courtyard for a lunch break. Not long after she had a break, she heard Jiahui and the others gossip outside the window, saying that Jin Chuan from the second wife's room had been kicked out.
Don't think too much, it must be Baoyu and Jin Chuan who were joking and talking naughty at noon. When Mrs. Wang heard it, she slapped her and scolded her severely, and ordered her family to take Jin Chuan out.
Immediately in Liu Mei's mind, Jin Chuan's appearance when he came to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion to deliver the bird's nest that day, youthful and bright, with the rouge on his lips delicate and charming.
But when he thought about the tragic situation after Jin Chuan's death in the original book, Liu Mei broke out in a cold sweat, turned over, and hurried to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
After all, Jin Chuan and Liu Mei had only seen one side.The death of Jin Chuan was not caused by Liu Mei, nor had anything to do with Liu Mei.Liu Mei is not a white lotus of the Holy Mother, so there is no need to take this matter on herself.
But Liu Mei also knew that Zijuan was the son of Jia's family and was familiar with Jin Chuan. Although she didn't have a lot of sympathy, after all, there were others who would feel sad because of Jin Chuan's death.
So Liu Mei found Zijuan, and only raised her head, Zijuan stopped and said, "You mean... Madam pushed Jin Chuan out?"
"how come?"
Zicuckoo kept rubbing her hands together, looking very nervous.
"Jin Chuan has worked as an errand for the second wife for more than ten years, and has always been regarded as her right-hand man. Now that she has been kicked out, how can she keep face!"
Liu Mei was praising Zicuckoo in her heart, and secretly encouraged her to use a little more imagination.
"Yes, I have to find a chance to visit Jin Chuan's house, so I can persuade her." Zijuan stood up immediately after speaking, and walked outside the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
"Sister Zijuan, you... remind Sister Jin Chuan's family members that this is the time when she needs the most care and company." Liu Mei expressed what she wanted to say in a roundabout way. After all, she had only met Jin Chuan. On the other hand, you can't just open your mouth and say that Jin Chuan is going to commit suicide!
Zicuckoo responded, and it will take a long time to go.Before leaving, Zijuan asks Liu Mei to take care of Daiyu's lunch break, and Liu Mei of course agrees.
In the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, only the red sun is in the sky, the bamboo shade is everywhere, and no one speaks.
Without warning, the voice of the system rang in Liu Mei's mind, "Is this what you said, 'compassion'?"
Liu Mei was stunned, "Why are you asking this?"
The voice of the system said plainly: "Nothing, just confirm."
Liu Mei sighed, and answered in her heart, "Yes!"
The system let out an "oh", and when he spoke again, his voice turned slightly colder, "It is said that you humans still have a way of speaking called 'splashing cold water'?"
Liu Mei was stunned, thinking, after upgrading the self-test, the learning ability of the world situation system seems to have suddenly strengthened, but the EQ seems to be the same - but it is difficult for a system to have a high EQ.
She immediately said calmly: "If you want to pour cold water, let the horse come here, I can bear it!"
The system is still the same indifferent and precise system, just listen to it slowly say in a low and moving voice: "You must have noticed that in this world, some of the things you know clearly will change completely, or even change completely. It won’t happen; and some things will change slightly, but the ending will remain the same. Have you ever noticed that these two types of things have their own characteristics?”
When Liu Mei heard the system mentioning this, she immediately began to think about it from the beginning: There have been minor changes, but the ending remains the same, none other than the "Maple Dew Tea" incident in which Qianxue was kicked out for tea.It happened one day later, and Qianxue even remade a cup of tea, but she was driven away anyway; and the whole change, or even nothing happened, was the case of Sister Baoyufeng of Ma Daopo Nightmare Town.Before Ma Daopo could make a move, she was bumped into by Sister Feng, twisted and sent to the official.So Sister Baoyufeng is fine, even the monks never appeared at all, even if they did appear, it was just mixed in her Liu Mei's dream.
Liu Mei was concentrating, and suddenly remembered that there is actually another kind of thing that didn't happen in the original book - just like this time when Concubine Bei Jing invited her, everything was obviously fine, but in the end, things seemed to be unavoidable Returning to the original state - Princess Beijing and Daiyu just met by chance, and they left after seeing each other; and King Beijing himself came and went in a hurry, even passing by.
"You mean..." Liu Mei suddenly understood in her heart, but in this hot afternoon, Liu Mei felt a little cold behind her back.
"You mean, the key to the fate of a character, even if it is a trivial matter, cannot be easily changed." ——Just like Qianxue's cup of tea.
"And those incidents that do not affect the overall situation of the story, but are just a set of twists and turns, can be completely ignored no matter how big they are?" Liu Mei recalled in amazement that Sister Feng and Baoyu had been unconscious for many days in the original story, and even the coffin was prepared. They got off, but later the two of them woke up unharmed.As for Ma Daopo, in the last forty chapters, she was indeed discovered because of the Nightmare Town technique, and she was turned away and sent to the official.
In this way... She thought that there seemed to be a little fate between King Jing and Daiyu. In fact, it was not a lack of fate, but a pair of invisible hands behind her that silently changed the direction of the matter. .
"You mean, you mean..."
Could the system be reminding her that the attributes of the big coffee table in the world of Red Mansions can be easily changed by non-manpower?
Liu Mei was alone, standing under the porch of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, watching a cloud drifting over from the sky, gradually covering the sky, the sky was dark, and after a while, the big raindrops fell down.
The system seemed very satisfied with the result of Liu Mei's deduction, and said to Liu Mei very gracefully: "Goodbye!" Then it went offline with a "ding".
The summer rain comes and goes quickly, and by the time Zicuckoo comes back from the outside, the rain has already stopped.Daiyu had already got up, Liu Mei made her a cup of good tea, and Daiyu lent her a miscellaneous book, and asked her to sit by the window and read slowly.
"After persuasion for a long time, I have said everything that needs to be said. Jin Chuan'er has been crying, crying too much, saying that she will have no face to see people anymore." Zijuan led Liu Mei to a room in the backyard of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and the two of them put their heads together. , speaking in a whisper.
"I advised her not to think about entering the mansion again." Zijuan's tone was very firm, "Speaking of which, the second wife is just a momentary whim, who knows what will happen later? Could it be possible that she will spend all her time in this mansion in the future? There are so many people here, I don’t know, can a dog’s mouth spit out ivory?”
Liu Mei nodded: This is what people say.
"What's more, she has worked diligently in the past few years, and she has accumulated quite a lot of wealth. It's better to leave the house and find a good family outside, and live a down-to-earth life. Wouldn't it be better to be frightened in front of such a master."
After listening to these words, Liu Mei felt a little admiration—Zicuckoo sees this matter clearly, and she is so courageous, it is rare among the maidservants in the Grand View Garden to say such words.
"Then... did sister Jin Chuan listen to the persuasion?" Liu Mei asked worriedly.
Zijuan nodded, shook her head again, was stunned for a while, and then said firmly: "Today I made it clear to Aunt Bai's family that the teacher must guard Jin Chuan. I will go to see her tomorrow!"
"She just can't save face, and she can't turn around in her heart. But if she must humiliate herself for the sake of face, then don't even think about living a good life in the future."
As Zijuan said, Liu Mei nodded, thinking that it was the right thing to find Zijuan this time.
She secretly prayed in her heart——Sister Jin Chuan, don't get overwhelmed, and hold on!
Zijuan really went to Bai's house the next day, and went back again after two days, and finally brought back good news, saying that Jin Chuan nodded, and the old aunt of Bai's family went to the outside of the city to make a kiss. The simple family in the village, heard that Jin Chuan is the maidservant of everyone, and attaches great importance to this relative.The Bai family was very satisfied, and Jin Chuan's mind slowly changed. He accepted the marriage and just lived in peace, waiting for the other party to come to marry him.
On the side of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, another guest came to guide and inspect the catering work of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.Liu Mei happened to meet her.
"Sister Lin, why don't you go to Sister Bao's place to find us to play together—"
When Liu Mei bit her tongue and talked like this, she felt uncomfortable.
The person who came was Xiangyun, the niece and granddaughter of Mrs. Jia's mother Shi.
Before the sisters of the Jia family moved into the Grand View Garden, whenever they came to Xiangyun, they were mostly crowded with Daiyu.After moving into the Grand View Garden, due to the small space of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Xiangyun lived in the brighter Hengwu Garden, where he ate and lived with Baochai.
This time, Xiangyun came to visit Daiyu in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion early, but immediately found that Daiyu’s morning diet was quite different, and asked in surprise: “Hey, sister Lin, have you changed the cook here? Sister Bao doesn’t seem to have much. Change!"
Zijuan was making tea for Xiangyun, and she smiled immediately after hearing this: "Miss Shi was joking, there is a big kitchen in this mansion, how can there be any difference in each place?"
While talking, Xueyan came in with a small official kiln plum flower cup, brought it to Daiyu, and handed her a silver spoon.Daiyu has long been used to it, and now she takes small sips.
Xiangyun looked at it from the side and felt surprised, so he asked what it was.Daiyu only said it was rice oil, but it was actually rice soup, according to the book. "It is said in the book that drinking a small cup every morning can slowly nourish and nourish the stomach, and gradually the diet will be better. And this thing is not expensive. Xueyan and the others can cook it every morning when they wake up. Give me a handful of polished round-grained rice."
"Hey, sister Lin, didn't your wife give you a big pack of blood swallows?"
Xiangyun has always been used to being outspoken, so she asked this out, and no one in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion cared.
Only Zijuan smiled, and asked seemingly casually: "Where did the young lady know about the blood swallow?"
After hearing Zijuan's words, Xiangyun felt that he had made a slip of the tongue. He was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Liu Mei waiting at the side, he interrupted himself and said, "Hey, isn't this girl from Aigege's courtyard? Madam is really kind." , Send such a smart person to Sister Lin."
Liu Mei was suddenly embarrassed.
