[Red House + Space] Falling Spring

Standing in Jia's empty bank where mice can run away, Luo Chun, who was digging a hole until his face was covered with dirt, was speechless.Not to mention gold mountains and silver mountains, at least there should be a gold box and a silver box, right?What about things?Looking at the huge and empty bank where you can hear the echoes of what you say in it, Luochun suddenly understands why Sister Feng did not agree to her plan to set up a sacrificial field, not to mention the effort it takes, but the money does not know where it comes from. Come on, it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice!

Because of the treasury matter, Luochun has not been in the mood for the past few days, listless.The people in her room couldn't help but feel worried when they saw it, but they didn't know the reason, so they couldn't be persuaded, so they always encouraged Luochun to go to other people's places, and share her heart with the laughter among the sisters.Luochun didn't like to move, but she didn't listen to the persuasion of Nanny Guan, Pinxiu and Shazhi, and finally went to visit Jia Min with a few delicate items.

After greeting Jia Min a few words and talking about the warmth and coldness, Luochun was sent by Jia Min to sit with Daiyu in the Nuan Pavilion.Luochun and Daiyu sat down on the kang table as guests and hosts, Lixia brought freshly brewed tea over, and Zhixia put tea on the kang table, and a plate was just out of the pot brought by the cook Steaming steamed buns, the other two plates are home-made golden silk crisps and mille-feuilles, and the other plate is freshly made pine nut candy.

Daiyu pointed to the plate of steamed buns and said with a smile: "This is the authentic Huaiyang Wuding steamed stuffed bun. It looks simple, but it is the most exquisite. First of all, the skin of the steamed stuffed bun should be whiter than snow, and it should be soft and tough when eaten. Food does not stick to the teeth. The so-called "five ding" is developed from its "san ding". San ding is also called "three delicacies", namely chicken, meat and bamboo shoots; Tender; ribs with five flowers for diced meat, moderate fat head; diced bamboo shoots for fresh bamboo shoots according to the season. Three delicacies in one, with relish, full in the morning, not hungry until noon. Using these three diced as stuffing, it is fresh, fragrant, crisp and tender Prepared, fat but not greasy. It is said that when Emperor Taizong of this dynasty came to Huaiyang on his southern tour, he asked for it to be "nourishing but not nourishing, delicious but not fresh, oily but not greasy, crunchy but not hard, tender but not soft." The local chef was ingenious and added two flavors on the basis of Sanding: freshwater shrimp and sea cucumber, thus turning it into a 'Wuding Baozi'. This is our chef's specialty, try it while it's hot."

Luo Chun took a sip of dim sum according to his words, and it was really delicious. The five flavors in the five dices are blended, and they are nourishing, fresh, fragrant, crisp, and tender, and they are full of delicious fragrance.Seeing Luochun's delicious food, Daiyu said again: "Eating this steamed stuffed bun with this 'Kuilongzhu' tea is even more amazing. This kind of tea is made with Zhejiang Longjing, Anhui Kuizhen, Jiangsu Zhulan and other famous teas. It is made by scenting, taking the color of Kuizhen, the fragrance of ball orchid, and the smell of Longjing. The first tea has the fragrance of Zhulan; It's all very good, it's the secret recipe of Huaiyang's "Chunlai Tea House". You are a little bit lucky, the one you drink now is a new one sent by my father, and the one we brought to Beijing earlier has already been finished."

After listening to Daiyu's words, drinking tea with snacks, Luochun felt that his mouth was full of fragrance, and his lips and teeth were fragrant. He hurriedly expressed his gratitude to Daiyu for her recommendation, and said with a smile: "Well, in this way, I prefer Sister Lin's house. It’s a good thing.” Before he could say a word, footsteps came from outside, “The weather has suddenly become very cold these days, is my sister still used to it?” He lifted the curtain and walked in, it was Baoyu.

Seeing that it was Baoyu, Daiyu gave up her seat and said with a smile on her face, "It's okay, thank you brother Bao for thinking about me." It was very strange and said: "Look at your shivering appearance, second brother Bao, is it that cold outside? With this appearance, I came to ask Sister Lin, I really don't know which one is you and Sister Lin?" You grew up in the south? Aren’t you wearing big clothes, even if you don’t wear big hair, didn’t Xiren bring you a hand stove?” He said, and handed his own hand stove to Baoyu.

Baoyu took it over, and said with a smile: "It's not that cold, it's just a little cold! Xiren originally wanted to bring me a hand stove, but I thought it was only a few steps from the old lady's place to here, so I thought it was troublesome." , I didn’t bring it.” His eyes fell on the tea on the table, and he said with a smile: “You guys will be happy, smelling the aroma, my appetite is poured up.” Turning around, I was about to order the girl who was standing beside me to bring the dishes and chopsticks over. , Zicuckoo had brought all the things over and put them in front of him.

Seeing Baoyu eating and drinking there, Luochun couldn't help laughing and said: "Second brother Bao, slow down, be careful not to choke. Looking at your appearance, if the old lady and the wife saw it, they would think it was someone who served you. I haven’t given you anything to eat for a few days. I said, Brother Bao, you’re about to order, and the dim sum on this table is not for you alone, but for me and Sister Lin..." Before Luochun took After finishing speaking, Daiyu's nanny Wang Momo who was standing below said with a smile: "It's okay, you can use it with confidence, it's rare for Second Master Bao to like it, such an idea is nothing, if it's not enough, there are still some in the kitchen. "Luochun added coolly beside me, "I'm not afraid that you will eat, Brother Bao, but I'm worried that if you eat too much and accumulate food, you will have a stomachache when you turn around, and the old lady and the second aunt will blame me and Sister Lin At that time, apart from the two of us, I'm afraid that everyone in this room will be wrong, and maybe it will be Auntie who is to blame." One sentence blocked the servants below from being able to speak.

Baoyu was not angry when Luochun teased and taunted him, he just smiled, but after hearing what Luochun said later, he couldn't help slowing down his chopsticks.Zhixia brought over sour plum tea with tangerine peel for digestion. Baoyu drank two cups bitterly, and that was all.The three sat on the kang and chatted slowly.Luochun sat for a while, saw that it was getting late, so he got up to say goodbye, when he was about to go out, Daiyu stopped him, and Zhixia came over with a gold make-up handbag.

Daiyu pointed to the glove box and said: "Someone from home brought some items from the south. There is nothing new about them. It's just that the style is different from the ones in the north. Let's see what's new. These are going to be delivered to your house. , since you are here, why not just take it back directly, and save the people on my side from running errands."

Pinxiu behind Luochun, after Luochun thanked her, stepped forward to take the suitcase from Zhixia.Baoyu on the side wouldn't let Luochun go, and wanted to see what Daiyu gave her in the suitcase, but Luochun had no choice but to open the box for him to see.There are only some purses, silk, rouge and flowers on the left.The only special thing is that there is a set of special embroidery needles, which are packed in a tanned cowhide leather case. If Luo Chun's guess is correct, this thing should be a gift specially prepared for her.

Luo Chun was admiring a stack of scented flower notes, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw Bao Yu holding a white porcelain box, sending the sweet and red rouge inside to her mouth.She patted the back of Baoyu's hand quickly, knocked Baoyu's hand that was about to be put to her mouth with a "snap", raised her eyebrows and asked, "Second brother Bao, how soon will your problem of eating rouge be cured?" Without saying a word, she gave her an annoyed sideways glance, and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't want to change it, you like to eat it, even if it's like a meal, and you can eat three meals a day, as long as it's out of my sight It doesn't matter if you eat the next big day, but in front of my eyes, I can't do it. I don't want my second uncle to know about it, and I will follow the back." After finishing speaking, he snatched the rouge box from Baoyu's hand, Throw it into the handbag, greet Daiyu and leave with Pinxiu.

When I went to Jiamu's for dinner in the evening, Luochun found that the atmosphere between Daiyu and Baoyu was weird. Baoyu was always looking for topics to talk to Daiyu, but Daiyu's expression was indifferent, and she couldn't answer a sentence out of ten sentences. Not a smiley face.Presumably after she left, the two of them quarreled and fought for some reason.But everyone in the house knows that even in front of people, these two people have always been so quarrelsome, so regarding this situation, Mother Jia didn't say anything, just let the two of them quarrel, and didn't care about it. Not true.

Mrs. Wang couldn't see her son being so humbled in front of Daiyu and being "trampled", so she called him to her side.It's just that Baoyu's heart is all on Daiyu, although he responds to her words in his mouth, but his eyes are looking at Daiyu with affection, so distracted, he can't help but miss the next sentence when answering Mrs. Wang. The donkey's lips are not right with the horse's mouth.Mrs. Wang couldn't see that Baoyu was perfunctory to herself, his mind was not here at all, following Baoyu's line of sight, his eyes fell on Daiyu's body and could not help but be filled with hatred.

Luochun saw the flash of hatred in Mrs. Wang's eyes, and her eyes fell on Daiyu who was talking to Sister Feng, Tanchun and Jiamu without realizing it, and she sighed inwardly.In this world, no mother is willing to see her son being seduced by someone, and obey his words, but an "outsider" is far more important in his heart than her mother.Not to mention the old grievances between Mrs. Wang and Jia Min, nor the family background, health and appearance of Daiyu and Baochai. In this point alone, Daiyu lost to Baochai.For Mrs. Wang who has lost Jiazhu and only has Baoyu as her son, how could she allow her daughter-in-law to be above her in her son's heart? Where is her mother?

But it's strange to say that it's obviously not about Daiyu's business, but in fact it's Baoyu's failure to live up to expectations. If Mrs. Wang wants to hate or blame her, she should also blame Baoyu, but she doesn't blame her son, instead she puts all the blame on her. In Daiyu's body, perhaps this is the contradiction of human nature.Luochun's eyes fell on Baoyu again, seeing him bowing down to please Daiyu and gradually coaxing Daiyu away, he couldn't help but lament Baoyu's "unassuming".Sitting at the top, Mother Jia looked at the scene with a smile. Sister Feng was making jokes and laughing endlessly. Mrs. Wang had a loving smile on her face, but her gaze towards Daiyu became colder and colder.Luo Chun only felt that the scene in front of him was really interesting and full of interest.

But he said that he came to Jiamu's place after breakfast the next day to say hello, and felt a little strange that he didn't see Sister Feng and Baoyu.Sister Feng and Baoyu can be regarded as the two "hum ha" generals by Jiamu's side. Normally, one of them must be by Jiamu's side in the morning. Now they are not here, but what's the matter?After inquiring, I found out that Sister Feng had visited the East Mansion today. After Baoyu heard about it, she remembered the "spring/dream" she had had while taking a nap in Qin Keqing's room in the mansion there, and wanted to follow her, so the two of them Before Luochun came, he went to Dongfu by car.
