Red Mansions: No Tears

?It is said that Jia Baoyu insisted on Lin Daiyu going back to Rongguo Duke's mansion with him so loudly. Of course, it is impossible to do so. Put Jia Baoyu on the carriage of Jia's mansion.

Jia Tanchun and Xue Baochai probably also felt that Jia Baoyu's behavior was too embarrassing, so no matter how much they felt that the attitude of the Lin family was really bad, no one said a word of disapproval.

As soon as Jia Baoyu stepped into the gate of Duke Rongguo's mansion, he immediately ran over to Jia's mother's courtyard, because Jia Baoyu had the habit of going directly to Jia's mother's place to greet Jia when he returned to the mansion, so no one was suspicious along the way, and no one talked too much. He rushed to tell Mrs. Wang that her son might have been bullied, so when Jia Baoyu came to Jiamu's courtyard, there was only Jiamu who was resting in the room.

"Old lady! Old lady! Hurry up and send someone to pick up Sister Lin. Sister Lin is so pitiful! Those days are really not human." Jia Baoyu clung to Jiamu like a three-year-old child. , and then began to plead coquettishly.

"What's the matter? Didn't you go to see Yu'er? Why did you come back so soon?" Mother Jia asked in surprise, looking at Jia Tanchun and Xue Baochai who came in afterward.

Xing Xiuyan and Xue Baoqin did not come here together. Although they were lucky enough to go out with them, to the Jia family, they are only guests staying here after all. Knowing that going to the Lin family today will not bring any good results, naturally they will not Stupid enough to see a joke.

But Jia Tanchun and Xue Baochai each had different attitudes, and soon after Jia Baoyu entered the house, they also came to Jia's mother's room.

"This..." Jia Tanchun heard Jia's mother's question. At first, she thought about how to discredit Lin Daiyu, but then she thought that since the old lady was willing to ask them to go to Lin's house, she must still be thinking of Lin Daiyu's goodness in her heart. I said too much for a while, I was afraid that the old lady would mistakenly think that she didn't want to see Lin Daiyu, but after going to the Lin family today to see it with her own eyes...there is really no place in the Lin family that compares to the Jia family, even if it costs a lot, even Rong Guogong Those family members in the mansion who lose face in front of the masters are not as good as them. Even if she said that she reduced by three points, I am afraid that the old lady will feel distressed for a long time.

In addition, Lin Daiyu, who is clearly a commoner, dared to act so rudely to Jia Baoyu, who is the prince of the state, made Jia Tanchun very angry. If he couldn't find an opportunity to speak out, Jia Tanchun thought that she couldn't bear that tone at all, but unfortunately it was still the same sentence... She would never dare to tell the truth until she knew what Jia's mother was really thinking.

"Huh? Girl Bao, tell me, what exactly did you see after you went to Lin's house? Otherwise, why did Baoyu say that Girl Yu was wronged as soon as she came back?" Chun took a look, then turned to Xue Baochai, and continued to ask.

"Where did you see anything? But after sitting in the reception hall for a while, I let Sister Lin treat me to lunch. The old lady didn't know that Mr. Lin seemed to have inherited a bit of Mr. Lin's literati demeanor. Both the outside and the outside have a bookish atmosphere, and there are no cumbersome items to obstruct the eyes. Take the reception hall where we drink tea as an example. There are two landscape paintings on the wall. Unfortunately, no famous artist can be seen. For the celadon vase, there is also a three-legged tripod, and a few chairs made of pineapple wood look simple but precious..." Xue Baochai told what he saw and heard when he went to the Lin family, it seemed very beautiful, but he said It was interrupted halfway through.

"Why doesn't Sister Bao mention the food made by their cook?! It's really unpalatable! If it's tasteless, if it's colorless, Sister Lin can still eat it with relish, that kind of thing, that kind of food. Why are things eaten by people..." Jia Baoyu said, his eyes were red, as if he could see his beloved sister Lin turned into a paper figure and was blown away by the strong wind, his expression was very sad.

"Baoyu is joking, right? Aunt Lin was a high-ranking official at any rate, so there is no ostentation at home, even if he is no longer here, at most there are some things that our family can eat. Sister Lin and the others can't eat, but with So, how bad would their food be? If that's the case, it can be regarded as a slave bullying the master, so it's okay?" Yuanyang said with a smile on the side.

"It can't be said that it's really a bully! The old lady has never seen the rice that Sister Lin eats, which is similar to the rice that our servants eat. It's not that I haven't seen the food that Xiren and the others eat, so I think Sister Lin The food is not as good as the maids in our family, Xiren has eaten that kind of inferior rice..." Jia Baoyu retorted angrily.

"Inferior rice?! How can you eat inferior rice? Tan girl, is it really what Baoyu said?" Jiamu's face was slightly dignified, as if she never thought that the situation of the Lin family was so bad that even the master could only eat it. To the point of eating waited rice.

"Brother Bao is exaggerating. What kind of low-grade rice do we eat at Lin's house? Don't forget, old lady, that when Sister Lin was with us, she always ate Jiangmi from the south. Of course, at home, I am more used to eating that kind of rice, but it may be that the Lin family’s kitchen does not store rice in a good place, so that’s why I think the rice tastes worse.” Jia Tanchun quickly explained to Jia’s mother.

"Then what kind of dishes does the cook from the Lin family serve?" Jia's mother couldn't figure out what was wrong when she heard what Jia Tanchun said, so she had to ask again.

"Boiled chicken, stir-fried shrimp, boiled dried shredded silk, meatball soup, and two vegetables." Xue Baochai immediately replied without thinking.

When Jia Mu heard it, she also felt that these dishes seemed a little bland. Which dishes are not cooked in a complicated way?The more complicated it is, the more tasteful it is. How can it be as simple and clear as the chef of the Lin family?No wonder when Baoyu came back, he said that the Lin family had treated Miss Yu badly.

The dishes in the Rongguo Mansion have always been exquisite, and it is rare to see dishes with simple ingredients like that. Even if they even have a plain porridge, they have to try their best to make something special, unless the sick will eat that kind of food. Food with no taste at all.

Jia Baoyu, Jia Tanchun and Xue Baochai all grew up with exquisite delicacies, but for them, the so-called delicacy...of course it is to make an ingredient so that even its parents can't recognize it, It is enough to be called a good dish!

Dishes like boiled chicken and stir-fried shrimp, which are obvious at a glance, will of course be classified as rough to them. How do they know that the simpler the dish, the harder it is to cook, of course... Maybe... There is also the possibility that Mother Qiu intentionally made the dishes poor today.

"Old lady, in fact, what Sister Lin eats every day is second to none. After all, the servants of the Lin family don't dare to starve their master, but Sister Lin did something today... I think... I think it's a bit It's too much." When Jia Tanchun saw Jia Baoyu, he only remembered that Lin Daiyu seemed to be having a bad life, but he forgot how bad Lin Daiyu treated him today, and felt a little bit wrong for Jia Baoyu at the moment, and forgot that she was still afraid just now. Wondering whether Mother Jia will be dissatisfied with her because of her complaint.

"Oh?! How did Yu'er treat you?" Mother Jia asked coldly when she heard that Jia Baoyu had been wronged at the Lin family.

Xue Baochai frowned slightly, pursed her lips tightly, and did not dare to say anything more. Only Jia Tanchun, who had just opened his mouth impulsively, replied cautiously after a moment of silence: "The old lady also knows that we came to the door with good intentions today. I went to visit Sister Lin, but Sister Lin not only showed up late, but also ignored and spoke sarcasticly when she saw Brother Bao. Sister Bao and I just stepped forward to persuade her, but she even satirized us. Said that we are not reluctant to greet a meal, but we are asked to be invited out of the house just after the meal, it really does not save any kindness."

"Is that so!? When did Yu'er become so cold and heartless? She didn't even want to stay with you for a while? When she lived with us in the past, I never saw her like that, but what about Brother Lin? You haven't seen him Is it?" There was a hint of anger on Jiamu's face.

"I haven't seen each other. From the beginning to the end, only Sister Lin came out to greet us." Jia Tanchun shook his head and replied with a bit of complaint.

"I really don't know what to do! Is there a guest who comes to the door, but the host doesn't come out to meet the guests?! He really is a young boy from the market, and he doesn't even understand this rule. Unfortunately, I ordered you to ask him. It's not that we need our family to come forward to find a learned old man for him to invite him back, so that he can guide him a little bit about the scientific examination. If he can really go straight to Qingyun, I'm afraid he won't be grateful for our family's help to him." Mother Jia snorted softly and said angrily and contemptuously.

"Fortunately, I haven't met that guy. He has acted so perversely before he passed the exam. If he is really asked to pass the exam, wouldn't he kill Sister Lin for the rest of his life? Then the uncle of the Lin family is a poor man, don't ask him to take the original watery Sister Lin was made into the same dead fish eyes as those old guys, old lady, you quickly take Sister Lin back! Our family has a lot of food for her, why let her live in the same mansion with that stinky guy What about it?" Jia Baoyu wholeheartedly thought that Lin Daiyu would become so practical and utilitarian, and he was completely forced by Lin Yu. He thought that as long as Lin Daiyu was brought back to Rongguo Duke's mansion, so that Lin Yu would have no chance to teach Lin Daiyu badly, then Lin Daiyu would be fine. She will turn back to the clever and shrewd sister Lin she was before.

"That's all! Baoyu will go back to wash and rest first, and come back to my place for dinner. I heard that Zhuangzi brought in a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables today. Brother Feng specially ordered the kitchen to make some fresh dishes for the occasion, saying that you will definitely like them. I have my own plan for bringing Yu'er back." Jia's mother patted Jia Baoyu's back, but she didn't directly respond to Jia Baoyu's request, she just coaxed a few perfunctory words.

"Okay! Then I'll go back and think about when Sister Lin comes back. Which courtyard should I let Sister Lin live in? The old lady can't let her live in that small courtyard anymore. Sister Lin should have lived in the garden with us. " Jia Baoyu listened to Jia Mu's words, and did not doubt whether there were any loopholes in Jia Mu's words, but nodded with joy, and left in a hurry after leaving these few words.

Seeing that Jia Baoyu had left, Jia Tanchun asked Jia's mother hesitantly, "When is the old lady going to pick up Sister Lin?"

"Let's talk about it! You guys also go back to rest and come over to have dinner together later." Jia Baoyu was not here, and Jia's mother lost a little bit of intimacy with the two girls just now, and just said lightly.

Xue Baochai and Jia Tanchun couldn't see what plans Jia Mu had in mind, but they didn't dare to ask further questions, so they had to salute and say goodbye to Jia Mu together, and then went back to the Grand View Garden together. ?
