By Jia Xiuzhen

Xiren is here, but Xiangyun and Tanchun Baochai go to Yihong courtyard.Baoyu asked someone to pick up the new fruit in the garden to let them in. Xiangyun looked around but couldn't find the attacker, so he asked with a smile, "Second brother, was it really your idea to send me the fruit yesterday?"

Baoyu really wanted to claim this merit, but he just thought that Xiren and Xiangyun had always been friends, and he was afraid that he would be exposed in a blink of an eye.I also thought, wouldn't it be more pleasant for the two of them to be close than to be close to me?Then he smiled and said, "How could I have thought of such a detail, Xiren sent someone to send it thinking of you."

Xiangyun laughed and said, "Sure enough! I saw the agate dish that held the fruit, and heard the woman say, 'Young lady said this dish looks good last time, so let's keep it and play'. If that's the case, I know it must not be yours. Idea. How can you remember what we said? Whenever I say a few words, you will bombard me!"

Baoyu pointed at her with a smile and said, "You're just cheating on me! When did I hit you when you were talking seriously?"

Xiangyun and Baochai laughed and said, "It turns out that this kind of translation is serious!"

But Tanchun turned his head slightly, looked at each other with the book attendant, and smiled at the corner of his mouth.

After sitting for a while, Xiangyun still followed Baochai to live in Hengwuyuan, and Tanchun returned to Qiushuangzhai by himself, and each parted.Qiuwen came up to pull Baoyu and said, "It's really wrong to talk about that dish just now."

Baoyu was puzzled, so Qiuwen told the story of going to fetch the dish that day, and said: "After listening to the third girl, don't you think that you just took it from me, but gave it to others to play"? A rift arose."

Baoyu laughed and said, "That's why you think so! Is there anything at my third sister? I don't have it here, and my wife still sends it to my third sister. It's just a waste of me. Sister Die Ziyun said it last time." I like it, but the third younger sister may not like it. Besides, whoever gives this thing to whom, how can others care about it? Whoever owns it is the one who has the final say!"

Qiuwen was a little worried at the beginning, but now she feels reasonable after hearing Baoyu's words, so she also throws them away.

Tanchun went back to his room, waited for the book to wash up, leaned on the bed to read before going to sleep, and told Cuimo what happened just now.Cui Mo sneered and said: "She can be the master of the master! The master asked to send it, and she took it as a favor. Only a master like Bao Erye can support such a slave!"

Tanchun was silent, and the servant said, "He is really a person who knows where to heat the pot and which to add fire." Then Tanchun said, "Girl, you just let her do this?!"

Tanchun poked his face out of the book, and said helplessly: "Why, do you want me to go to the same slave to get angry? You also said that it is not natural for a master like Baoyu to raise such a slave. Things? She can do the things of the master, so she decides like this. Doesn’t it make sense? What do you want me to say! If she passed on the things I sent to Yihong Courtyard today, then maybe you two should take care of it , and now she's 'selling her own goods', the two of you are the policemen of the Yamen, and you can't control it."

Cui Mo was still angry with herself: "The second master Bao said that it looks good with lychees, so I asked someone to set it up and send it. Before the second master Bao said anything, she, a servant, hurriedly asked for it. If you want it, you can go." There's nothing wrong with it, can't we go private? But it's to give gifts to others, or 'keep it for the girl to play'. It's strange, the master doesn't know such a thing! She's relaxed, and she doesn't know her Is your worth worth a corner of that dish! Just be bold like this."

Tanchun couldn't stop laughing, so he put down the book and said, "Let me ask you, what is Xiren doing for a living now?"

The servant said: "I don't know, it seems that I heard what his brother did for a living. Didn't he also say that he wanted to redeem her back?"

Tanchun shook his head and said: "Her family had to sell their sons and daughters back then, and now they are making a living. Could it be that she relied on her elder brother? Or she relied on her, the proud person in front of Baoyu? Usually, it was only because she was The person given by the old lady has some face, and now even the wife values ​​it. You must have heard about the two taels of silver. With such a status, she thinks she can be half of the family, why not?

What's more, those things belong to other people in the first place, and they will give them to whomever they like, so why are you so anxious, really.And if she goes out privately, she has to count everything according to the chapter, I'm afraid you won't be able to count it all!Or, do you all love that dish so much?So you resent her for giving it to others but not to us?If that's the case, tomorrow I'll ask my wife if I want two of them. "

Shi Shu and Cui Mo shook their heads tightly: "Whether we like it or not, it's not something we should use. It's just that the virtuous person in this person's mouth is acting like this, so I can't see it."

Tanchun picked up the book again: "If you can't read it, don't read it. Her master doesn't dislike her, so what does it matter to us? We must always 'be worthy of the name' in our conduct and actions. If you are not in your position, you will not seek your own government. Let's not worry about it. "

The master and servant were gossiping, seeing that it was late at night, they each rested without mentioning it.

On the second day, everyone was waiting for Xiangyun to ask Dong Dao to write a poem, but they heard that she came to invite the old lady and Aunt Xue to eat crabs and enjoy sweet-scented osmanthus.Daiyu laughed after hearing this: "This is definitely not girl Yun's idea. She has all kinds of weird ideas, but it is rare to find such a thoughtful one. It sounds like Bao girl's handwriting. Sure enough, it is easy to do two things, and everyone is lively."

After getting the news, Nanny Xin disappeared long ago, but she went to send a message home to ask for something.Zijuan said: "What is Mammy doing? Someone invited the host, so why don't we add something to her?"

Mo Ge'er then smiled and said: "Because I heard that they eat crabs, they are cold in nature, so I'm afraid the girl won't be able to use them. In the early morning, the Qia mansion has prepared a banquet for appreciating chrysanthemums with pincers. I don't know how many things have been prepared. I have a few of them, and it’s good to use them for the girls. I don’t know about the other ones. There’s a perilla and ginger bud stuffing. The ginger alone just needs to be tossed and pulled for a long time. It should be able to do it now Taste it."

Zijuan pursed her lips, nodded and said, "If you drink some, you will prevent your stomach from getting a stomach ache from eating too many crabs."

Mo Ge'er smiled and said: "I don't know how many crabs I have prepared this time, let's take a look first, and if there are any novel ones, tell Rong Yanyue and the others, and then let them look for them."

Zijuan glanced at her and said, "Be less frivolous! You said this in front of me, because I'm angry that I can't go." Then she said to Daiyu, "Girl, I don't care, this time I will go back with you." .”

Daiyu agreed casually: "Go, go, what about the crabs, I'd like you to walk sideways after eating them."

The Yihong Courtyard also got the news early in the morning. Everyone heard that crabs were invited, and they all said, "Today is a good day."It's just that people are not happy in their hearts-this is unavoidable, and they can't take a seat as soon as they come back to the club.In this way, I don't know how to arrange what Baoyu said.

Baoyu saw that she didn't seem to be very interested, so he quietly approached her and asked her, "Are you not feeling well today?" Xiren blushed when he heard that, looked at Baoyu angrily, and said anxiously, "What nonsense!"

Baoyu also blushed, and said with a low smile: "Seeing that Sister Yun is so excited, even the old lady said that she must go. You can see that they are all happy, but you seem uncomfortable. How can you blame me for thinking blindly?" ?”

Xiren simply spit out: "It's not what you said. To be a host, you need to be decent, unique and elegant... I have thought of several ways. I thought that the third girl was the first day, so I couldn't do it." Counting, since Miss Yun is the host today, I can refer to it in detail. I don’t know that Miss Yun is so generous, and she can’t do it routinely if she thinks about it. Don’t you worry about it?”

Baoyu laughed and said, "So you're doing it for this. You've worried too much! I'm thinking about it in my heart. It's just fun to talk about it with you. Can I point it at you to do it? Such a thing, of course." I have reason, and you don't have to worry too much, going to the fun and excitement together today is the immediate business."

Hearing what Baoyu said, Xiren breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good that you know it in your heart. Oh, you don't know, I'm worried these days!"

Baoyu shook his head: "How can you do these things! If you even take care of this matter, you don't have to serve me, and I don't dare to call my sister anymore, I just treat each other as confidants." He shook his head and looked at her with a smile Since then.

The sky is also beautiful this day. Baochai's idea is to choose lotus root and Xiangxie for the banquet, and tea and wine outside the golden osmanthus bar under the slope. Jiamu and others all praise this place for its proper arrangement.Because the crab tea fruit borrowed Baochai's help, Xiangyun always wanted to manage Zhou Quan so as not to be in vain to bear the name of "host". Therefore, even if Sister Feng wanted to help her, she still did her best. Dealing with mediation and refusing to take a break.She has always been close to the maids, and even their banquets are thoughtful, Baochai watched from the side and secretly praised her for her carefulness.

Jia's mother has the habit of taking a nap. Today, because of Xiangyun's excitement, she also joins in the fun.After drinking a few glasses of wine, Sister Feng peeled crabs and waited and laughed.After eating for a while, Mrs. Wang saw that Jia's mother was a little sleepy, and the place was near the water and windy, so she persuaded Jia's mother to go back and have a rest.When Jia Mu heard it, it was just as she wanted, and she told Bao Dai and others a few words, and then she came out first with Mrs. Wang and others.

This Xiangyun arranged for people to withdraw from the table, and arranged another table for the other girls who had just waited beside the girls and were not able to attend the table.In addition, a banquet was held under the flowers at the bottom of the tree to entertain the little girls and women, and let them just eat and drink, and come back when they are called.For a while, everyone praised and said good luck today.

Xiangyun stepped back and saw Guiliu and Mogeer still standing beside Daiyu, so he went over and said, "Why don't you go? I'm happy today, so go and have a drink or two. Elder sister Lin can still blame you No?"

Gui Liu shook her head: "I don't care about the fireworks in the world, why don't we be happier with our girl."

Mo Ge'er also shook her head: "It's too troublesome to eat this way, I can't bear the cumbersomeness."

Xiangyun shook his head and said: "Usually, I always hear that someone is lazy at work, and I am open to someone like you who is so lazy at eating."

Daiyu smiled, and Mo Ge'er saw her looking back, so she took a handful of sapphire silver from a stone platform behind her and poured herself into the pot, asking, "Miss, do you want to drink?"

Daiyu nodded: "Sitting here, the wind blows like this, as if smelling autumn. Very good, it should be clear!"

Mo Ge'er laughed and said, "Young lady has been led astray by the stewards and nuns, and she speaks in such a tone." Looking at the embarrassment on the stone platform, "Girl, this time we only prepared banana leaf cups and pear blossom cups. , this... I'm afraid it will hinder the girl's aura of being clear."

With a palm of his hand, Guiliu took out a crystal-clear multicolored snail cup, handed it to Daiyu and said, "Miss, do you want to try this?" Then she looked back at the self-pourer pot, "I have the cup, and the flagon pot It’s too small, cramped! Narrow! How many pots are needed to fill our cup?!”

Mo Ge'er was unhappy when she saw Guiliu arranging the jug she prepared, and retorted: "How thick can your snail shell be?! It will be completely cold after pouring the wine in, how can you let the girl drink it! Could it be that you let the girl do it all at once?"

GUI Liu was puzzled: "Didn't the girl say that she wanted to make a fuss?" After speaking, she put the snail cup on her fingertips and twirled it, and said carelessly, "Look around, I'm the only one here today. The cup is the most suitable for a girl, and she will never lose her momentum!"

Xiangyun had already bent over with laughter, and Daiyu was sitting there fishing with the fishing rod in hand. When Xiangyun recovered her breath, she said to her, "Look at it? It's been like this all day. How can I use it?" Drinking together? Just looking at the two of you is drunk enough."

After talking, he took a banana leaf cup, poured wine, took a sip, and after tasting the taste, he let out a "huh", looked at Mo Ge'er, and did not speak.Turning to Guiliu, she said, "This wine really cheers me up, Sister Liu'er, peel off two clips for me to drink."

Gui Liu went away with a cry, and came back in the blink of an eye, holding an inch plate in his hand, with two pairs of big Ao clean meat neatly placed on it.I didn't take chopsticks either, only a long green bamboo fork.Asking Daiyu, she said, "It's more delicious when it is burnt with hot charcoal. Let Yanyue and the others remember it next time." Get some drunken crab claws and explosive crab claws!"

Daiyu took one and chewed it slowly, but she didn't talk to the two of them, she concentrated on looking at the fishing rod in her hand.Xiangyun went up to greet people again.When Baoyu came over to listen to this, he saw that Daiyu's half glass of wine was still resting on the stone railing in front of him, so he wanted to reach out to get it.For some reason, I felt my hand sank, and I held the huge conch shell cup upright.Just as Baochai came up to him, Guiliu pointed to Baoyu and said, "Miss Bao, please persuade the second master, you can't drink the wine like this. I'm afraid this glass is worth a catty and a half catty?!"

Baochai didn't talk at all, so she really wanted to persuade Baoyu, which made Baoyu dumbfounded.Daiyu's wonderful eyes are still locked on the fishing rod in front of her eyes, she doesn't care about anything else.For a while, the other side greeted the topic and wrote poems, so they put down what they were doing and went up together.

The author has something to say: Let me tell you a sad story.

There was a cook who went to the market early in the morning to buy small green vegetables, and it was the time when April was full.Finally got a basket.

When I came back, I peeled and washed it, and tore it back to remove the thick tendons.Bring the mushrooms soaked yesterday, squeeze out the water, and blanch them with the fresh mushrooms.

The small green vegetables are also blanched, picked up and set aside to cool, squeeze the water, and chop finely.

Chop the two shiitake mushrooms just now and mix them with the green vegetables.Add the new rapeseed oil boiled in a pot, and a spoonful of sesame oil.

Fine salt, cotton sugar, scallop powder seasoning, tasted.

Take the dough that has been sent out twice, knead it again, divide the ingredients, roll out the skin, wrap the stuffing, and make mushroom and vegetable buns the size of a fist.

Boil water, lower the heat, put the buns on the grate, leave enough space, and steam for a quarter of an hour.

Without uncovering, turn on high heat and steam for another 10 minutes.

Turn off the heat and let it set for 5 minutes.

Take off the lid, it's still steaming, take an ice tray and put it on the table.

Hulala came up with a group of fart children, and each of them finished eating one by one.

They all raised their hands and shouted: delicious, delicious!I still want it, I want it!

The chef can't straighten his back! ...
