Jin Yuliangyuan of the Red Chamber

"Girl, stop doing it, be careful not to cut your hands!"

"Girl, too much water has been added, and the dough has become a paste! Add more flour!"

"Girl, you put too much stuffing, it will burst in a while!"

"girl……"

What type of situation is this?

Qingwen was so anxious that she was about to sweat, she called out to the side from time to time, hoping to dispel her daughter's thoughts: How can this be something a girl can do?

Daiyu raised her head from the chopping board, dripping with sweat, panting slightly, her face was smeared with flour, and her hair was disheveled.She wiped the sweat with her flour-stained hands, and said to Qingwen: "Okay! Don't read it, I have made up my mind to make mooncakes for him by myself. He has worked so hard in the exam, okay?" After the exam is over, I want to give him a big gift." Seeing that she was determined, Qingwen couldn't help it, so she could only help out by the side to prevent her from hurting herself.

Ten days ago, Emperor Chongyuan's first imperial examination officially began.Tens of thousands of examinees flocked from all over the country to Jinling, Yangzhou, Suzhou, and Changzhou. They entered the Gongyuan and began the nine-day liberal arts examination. Lin Ruhai sat in Yangzhou as the chief examiner. The exam questions for each exam are announced to the examinees by the emperor himself the night before the exam.

In recent days, officials at all levels and even the emperor have paid close attention to this grand event. What is a little surprising is that the person in charge of the defense of the examination room is not the always respected King Beijing Jing, but the loyal and obedient prince Shui Mohao who has been silent for a long time. Bei Jing Wang Shui Rong assisted from the side, and if there was any discrepancy, the two of them would confess the crime together.

The exam lasted nine days.Today is August [-]th, and tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival.Baoyu Jialian and the others are coming back from the examination room tonight.Daiyu had long wanted to reward Baoyu well, so she embroidered an exquisite belt a few days ago as a Mid-Autumn Festival gift.But today she had another whim, and came to the small kitchen with great interest, insisting on making a few months of cakes for Baoyu to eat.Qingwen always felt that this behavior was demeaning, but she couldn't persuade her.

And so came the opening scene.

With the unremitting efforts of Daiyu and Qingwen and the assistance of the cooks in the kitchen, finally, the first mooncake was baked.It is said to be moon cakes, but it is actually a steamed snack.Daiyu chopped up preserved fruits, raisins, etc. with a knife that almost scared Qingwen and a group of kitchen staff to death, and mixed peanuts, sesame seeds, melon seeds, and almonds with them to make stuffing.Then it took another half a day to make a dough that was more suitable for softness and hardness, and then it was busy filling the stuffing, stamping the mold, and putting it on the steamer.From the busy afternoon to the sunset, the finished product was calculated.

When I opened it, I saw that all of them were crystal white, and the fillings of various colors were looming.It looks a little crooked, but it's not bad if it's the first time you do it.It's just that Daiyu has always had high standards and high demands, and she felt a little disappointed when she saw her, and she was secretly annoyed because she didn't have enough time.

When she came back to her senses, she suddenly found that the people around her were gone at some point, not even the chattering Qingwen.Just as he was wondering, suddenly his voice came: "Yuan'er, you made this? Is it...moon cake?" Daiyu heard that Baoyu had returned, so she hurriedly turned around and looked over: he was standing at the door rushing She is laughing!I haven't seen him for nine days. He seems to have lost weight and haggarded a bit.

Daiyu hurried up to take his arm, looked left and right, and said, "You have lost a lot of weight. You must make up for it when you come back this time." Baoyu smiled: "It's nothing, thinner is more handsome!" In fact, he I really want to say that the ancient imperial examinations are really not something people do!Eating, drinking, and sleeping in that small space, and having to take exams and write essays there, is miserable!How excited he was when God knows where he came out!I don't even care what I get in the exam, the most important thing is that I can finally relax my muscles and bones!

Of course, not to worry Daiyu at this time, he naturally exposed it lightly, and turned his attention to the pile of dim sum: "It smells delicious! I want to taste it!" After speaking, he took Daiyu in and directly Pick one up and pop it into your mouth.

Daiyu was distracted by him just now, and now she felt a little embarrassed when she saw those mooncakes, so she went to stop him: "Don't eat them, I can't cook them well, you wait until the cooks make them!"

Baoyu held her hand in his palm, ate one in a few bites, and said, "No, you made the best mooncakes. This is the best mooncake I've ever eaten. Thank you, Yuan'er."

Daiyu was a little embarrassed by his praise, and then saw him pick up another one to eat, until he ate enough for three, Daiyu quickly covered his mouth, and said anxiously: "Okay, don't eat any more, just wait a while." It’s time to eat.” Baoyu clapped his hands with a smile, and smacked his lips, “Let them keep these and wait for me to eat them tomorrow. But now—little cat, it’s time for you to wash your face.”

Daiyu covered her face with an "oh", she was busy all afternoon with these things, her face was covered with flour, and her hair was loose. She was so happy to see Baoyu came back, but she forgot all about it. Shame on me!Daiyu roared in her heart, and hurriedly went out to ask Qingwen to fetch water and wash her face.Baoyu followed behind with a smile on his face, and wandered leisurely.

Shui Hong and Shui Rong can take a breather because the scientific research is over for a while, so they specially hold a celebration banquet for Baoyu and Jia Lian tonight. The men and Lin Ruhai sit at one table, and the female relatives sit at another table led by the queen.

At the table, Shui Hong asked Jia Lian Baoyu with a smile, "How does it feel to be the first time?" Jia Lian laughed and said, "I seem to have forgotten what I answered now. I just wait for the result and let fate." With a straight face: "My only feeling is that it's too small in there! I'm aggrieved! Fortunately, I came out today, and I really can't bear to stay one more day." Shui Rong smiled: "It can be seen that it is really a A pampered son." Baoyu gave him a white look: "If you have the ability, go and try it! See how it tastes."

Lin Ruhai stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It's true, I passed the exam in the same way back then, and it was really difficult." "Yes! Is there a Tanhua Lang here soon? This is someone who has been there." Shui Hong Smiling, "We can have a good discussion!" Baoyu was the youngest, got up and poured wine for everyone present.Several people discussed the matter in the examination room for a long time, and the atmosphere was warm and cheerful.

The women and children on the other side also talked very lively. Anyway, everyone is familiar with it after so long. Sister Feng teased Daiyu and Baoyu: "I saw that Brother Bao didn't care about anything else as soon as he came back, so he just ran away. I'm looking for you, so it's obvious that I'm thinking too hard!" Everyone laughed, and Daiyu argued with a blushing face: "Second sister-in-law is just talking nonsense! I haven't seen you for more than half a year! This is just a day, so why not ..."

Du Yueyan laughed and said, "Baoyu is indeed very sticky to you. It's a pity that Daiyu hasn't reached the age yet, and Baoyu has to wait for another year!" Sister Feng naturally understood what this meant, and she agreed with a smile: "No Well!" Daiyu was so ashamed that she wanted to hide in her room.

Let's talk about the noisy room, and it's late at night before you know it.The children couldn't stand the drowsiness for a long time, and they were put to sleep in the room by the nanny and maid. Here, Du Yueyan was pregnant, and she couldn't hold it any longer. Shuihong came over to let her go back to rest when it was almost nine o'clock. Everyone got together and continued to chat.Now even Jia Lian's Sister Feng has become the object of ridicule. Baoyu has revealed all the old things about Jia Lian's pestering to marry Sister Feng, embarrassing the two of them.

We had fun until the end of the night, and the banquet was not broken until the fast time. The men talked happily, and they all got a little drunk, and they went back to their rooms.The yards of Daiyu and Baoyu are still next to each other.After Lin Ruhai saw Daiyu give him a few instructions, he ran to Baoyu again, and he sighed slightly.My daughter has grown up too, so it's good to have someone who is sincerely good to her, Baoyu is still a very good child.What's more... Looking at the appearance of the emperor and the prince, it seems that they have known it for a long time and are happy to see it.

Alas, female college students are not allowed to stay!He took Uncle Lin's hand and went back to his room, washed and fell asleep.Marking will start tomorrow, and there will be martial arts exams in the [-]th, so I don't have time to think about these.

Baoyu really drank a lot of wine today.He took Daiyu's hand and walked back to the yard, chattering on the way, all about how delicious the mooncakes Daiyu made today, looking at her with shining eyes, making her look embarrassed I can't help it, fortunately there is no one else around, otherwise... When he reached the door of his room, he would drag himself in with all his might, so how could he have any reason to talk to a drunkard?Daiyu coaxed and deceived him, and finally lured him back to the room, and called Mingyan to fetch water for him to wash up, so he should pack up and go to bed early.

Mingyan agreed, and while ordering people to do it, she smiled at Daiyu, "I told you to go and rest as soon as possible. It's not too early now, and the second master must think so too." Daiyu There is a kind of embarrassment of being seen through, but Mingyan is very proud. If the second master finds out tomorrow, he will definitely reward him!Seeing that Miss Lin nodded, she hastily and courteously sent Daiyu back to her room, and asked Qingwen to take care of her carefully, so she came to take care of Second Master Bao.

After reluctantly taking a bath, Baoyu almost fell asleep as soon as he touched the bed.

The consequence of a hangover is that you wake up with a headache the next day.Then there is the inner body protection, after all, this body is still a teenager, and he himself is not a particularly heavy drinker.What's more, because it was prepared by Shuihong, the wine at the banquet yesterday was quite strong.Now when I opened my eyes, I felt dizzy. I got up and looked outside. The sky was bright and the sun was high.

After putting on his clothes and walking out of the room, he heard the sound of wind whistling in the yard next door, mixed with the woman's occasional long breathing.He let out a long breath, shook his sleeves, and walked there.I saw Daiyu doing exercises.

Her current life is very regular. After getting up in the morning and washing up, she will practice in the yard. When her muscles and bones are activated and her internal energy is running smoothly, she will feel energetic all day long.Then I have breakfast. If Baoyu is not around, I can read a book in the morning, or play the piano, and go to Sister Feng to chat and embroider in the afternoon.Now that the queen is heavy, they don't dare to bother her often, so that she can raise her baby with peace of mind.If Baoyu was here, the two of them would not be able to stay idle, and would always want to run outside.

It is said that Baoyu saw Daiyu tumbling and jumping like a little sparrow in the morning, with a light and elegant figure, Ruyu's cheeks were stained with a blush, and the fine sweat on her forehead shone slightly in the morning light, and she felt her heart itching and her hands tingling. Itching, I couldn't help it, and flew up to practice with her.

Two figures, one white and one green, intertwined and entangled in the mid-air, one was as graceful as a swimming dragon, and the other as graceful as a frightened bird, you come and go, the yellowish leaves of the early autumn were shaken down by the strong wind, swirling beside you, as if Drawn by invisible threads, the person in the middle looms under their cover.Qingwen was not surprised, and watched calmly under the eaves.

The sudden applause separated the two. Baoyu stood still on the ground, stretched out his arms, and sighed: "Ahhh! Finally started to move! It's so comfortable!"

The author has something to say: It’s too late... Today I had dinner in class, and then I went to sing again. I came back late, and the lights will be turned off and the Internet will be turned off soon. Come and play a chapter.Happy New Years Eve to everyone in advance!
