Li Wan left Yingchun again, let her go to the back room, exchanged another tea, and asked her: "How did you hear that you had a cold the day before yesterday? It seems to be fine today."

Yingchun smiled and said, "I've had too many banquets these days, and I'm impatient to socialize. There are a lot of books in my hand that I didn't have time to read, and it's just a headache, so I simply put off my illness. In fact, it doesn't matter if I go or not. "

Li Wan said: "Sure enough, I guessed right. How can you get sick so easily now? Because the illness starts from the heart, more or less it's because of the discomfort in the mind, or I didn't realize it, or I realized it but refused to admit it." , it is easy to get sick because of doing it."

Yingchun smiled and nodded, "Sister-in-law really meant what she said. Now I'm not bored anymore. Sister Xing has a lot of insight in cultivating the mind. Now I get her advice, and I get a lot from it. "

Li Wan said: "Yes, I heard that she and Miaoyu were old acquaintances, presumably they have a relationship with Buddha."

Yingchun glanced at Li Wan, and said with a chuckle: "Sister-in-law's words have misunderstood her. She is the person who is least bothered by external things. She is no different than my 'out of sight, out of mind' blindly giving in, and she is also different from my fourth sister." She is cold-hearted and cold-hearted, but she is really free to come and go. I only envy, but I can't learn such a skill. Miaoyu probably loves her temperament, so she is willing to make friends with her .”

Li Wan said with a smile: "Since you know that it is not really comfortable to just give in, you should have changed your temper early. Just looking at others is free and envious of something. There is a saying that 'it is better to retreat and form a net when you are in Yuanyuan to envy fish', you will never Forget even this."

Yingchun smiled and said: "Sister-in-law also said that everyone's fate is limited. Now I can use this trick to be quiet and stable. Naturally, I don't bother to bother others. Besides, those people are not dismissed for a while. There are gains and losses. If you really want to deal with the moves, I’m afraid it’s rare to be quiet. To be nice to people and help others naturally requires effort. If you want to deal with others and plot against others, you don’t need effort? I have limited energy here, so I have to play with myself. It's not enough to do something, how can I separate them to manage them! Just do what you like, and I don't care about those."

Li Wan said: "Hey, what you said is clear, but it's a lie. If you really don't have these bad things in your heart, they won't be in front of you now. If you can't get rid of them, you should get rid of them. You just suppress it like this , I don’t know what to do next.”

Yingchun said with a smile: "I only practice diligently. When the time comes, I can't bear it anymore. I can't retreat. I can still suffer!"

Li Wan nodded: "You should remember what you said today."

Yingchun said again: "Now the books that Lan'er gave me are much easier than the ones I got from my sister-in-law. It's just that there was a lot of movement in the formation, and there were many deaths. After all, it is not as good as the books of "Black and White Road" Exquisite. It's a pity that I can't find the things mentioned above. I asked Guiliu, and she said they have them. When I asked her where they were, she said that they were in the market in her album. I suspect that there really is such a boundary. If there is, it would be nice if she went and brought me some."

Li Wan couldn't help but think of what Guiliu said about the fate of marriage in Yingchun, and said, "Didn't you just say that you want to study it with your heart? You just have to work hard. As for those things, you may not know when you will really get them."

Yingchun smiled and said: "That's good news for my sister-in-law. But in fact, I don't need to worry too much. Lan'er said, he will take care of us. No matter what, we won't suffer."

Li Wan also laughed: "If you dare to believe him, just believe it."

When Yingchun was leaving, Li Wan asked Suyun to take out another package, and said softly: "The one for you will be delivered before winter. These are the other two for the younger sister of the Xing family. I think she is taller than you." Higher, it’s not suitable for you to wear directly. It’s too cold here in winter, and the clothes they brought from the south may not be enough, not to mention it’s likely to snow tomorrow.”

Yingchun nodded, let Siqi take it, and sighed: "I was thinking about this just now, but my clothes don't suit her. I was thinking about asking my wife, I'm afraid my wife will bother the second sister-in-law , Walking down this circle, I'm afraid she won't look good. I was thinking about whether to use money to make two pieces outside."

Li Wan said with a smile: "It's kind of like the shareholders of our workshop. We know how to use money to do things." Take care of it. I'm afraid it will be thrown to everyone in the future, and you need someone here who can take care of it outside."

Yingchun said: "Isn't sister-in-law embarrassing me? I don't have anyone here? Only these two can't be put outside."

Li Wan said with a smile: "It's easy to say, just let whoever gets married earlier, wouldn't it be complete?"

The chess player who said it blushed, lowered his head and stopped talking.Li Wan laughed instead: "It's hard for such a domineering girl like you to have a day when you don't dare to raise your head."

It really snowed that night, and Li Wan was lying on the bed listening to the movement, thinking that the matter was finally done.I went to Qianjingju in the Pearl Realm to taste the spring, autumn, winter and summer, and slept in the Linfeng Pavilion for a while, and then came out to read some jade slips in the dark night for entertainment.When the sky was about to dawn, I got up and arranged for the poetry club this time.

In the Zhuijin Tower, Yingchun had finished washing up, and she came out to ask someone to invite Xing Xiuyan.Xing Xiuyan had already changed into a long jacket given by her relatives for the Spring Festival yesterday, and the little girl behind her was holding an orangutan felt snow jacket in her hand.

Yingchun stepped forward and took her hand, and said with a smile, "I was afraid you wouldn't wear it."

Xing Xiuyan smiled: "Why don't you wear it? There are thorns on it?"

Yingchun looked at her, and sighed with a smile: "If I have you, I will be in such a good mood!"

Xing Xiuyan pursed her lips and smiled, "It's just a thought. I just thought, 'If I didn't come to this place, I really don't need to wear such clothes.' Thinking about it this way, living in such a place should wear the clothes given here. It's not right. Exactly? One of the 'I' is just a spectator of the richness of this rich place, and now it's okay to be a 'wealth hanger' by the way."

Yingchun listened to it, thought about it, and then sighed: "It's easy to say, but it's not easy for those who can only feel this way. This is the realm of mental strength."

Xing Xiuyan smiled: "It's just a way to live a peaceful life, but it's a mystery to you."

When the two of them walked out, the sky seemed to be throwing catkins from the sky and it was falling non-stop.When I arrived at Jiamu's place, I heard Baoyu yelling that I was hungry, so I asked to bring it up quickly.The sisters also gradually arrived. Mother Jia asked a few questions, knowing that today is their poetry club, because she laughed: "I said, it looks like a monkey whose buttocks are burned, so it's for this."

But after all, he felt sorry for him, and asked people to go to the kitchen to remind him.

Baoyu only swallowed a bowl of tea and rice in a hurry, then put down his chopsticks. Seeing that Daiyu ignored him at all, he gave Xiangyun a sharp wink.Xiangyun knew the trick, and he just used a few mouthfuls indiscriminately.The two of them ran away chattering and discussing some important matter.

It turned out that just now when Jia Mu said that there was venison, she wanted to get a piece to be roasted in Luxueguang, and her daughter-in-law went to the kitchen to bring it in a food box, and asked the seasoning and barbecue guy.The steward of the kitchen said: "The people from Daoxiang Village came to pick it up early."

Xiangyun and Baoyu said: "Could it be that the sister-in-law knows how to figure it out? Know that we are going to figure out this piece of venison?"

Confused, I arrived at Lu Xueguang, lifted the curtain and went in, and saw a few windows open to the water, saw the snow falling on the lake, and a few icicles hanging from the eaves, and the cold wind came in occasionally, mixed with three things. Two snowflakes sighed, "Sure enough, it's better here."

A day earlier, Li Wan ordered the kang to be put on. Now the whole room is warm, and several layers of felt are specially spread on the floor.On the other side, a stove had already been fired, and there was a huge low round table, probably enough to seat a dozen people.There are now more than a dozen gray peat stoves more than a foot long placed next to each other on the table, with oiled wire covers on them, and on each side is a pottery tube of the same color as the charcoal stove, inside which are small The signatures, pliers, clips, and scissors are all prepared for barbecue.

On the other side, a firepit sunken into the ground was burning hot coals, surrounded by a copper wire mesh half a person's height, with a bamboo fence covering the top of the wire mesh.There was a huge copper wok on top of the firepit, and it was so steaming that I didn't know what was cooking.

Seeing this scene, Xiang Yun smiled and said, "Second brother, the piece of venison we got is probably too shabby."

Just as they were talking, Yingchun Daiyu, Xing Xiuyan and several others came together. Xichun took the lead, looked around, and said with a smile: "Although I am the one who bothers you the most to 'speak sorrow for new words'. Only my sister-in-law's host, I endured it."

Hearing the voice, Li Wan came from another room and said with a smile, "Okay, everyone is here. I don't know whether you should write poems first or drink first."

Xiangyun hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, it goes without saying that poetry comes only when there is wine. Li Baidou's hundred poems on wine, this fairy of poetry is the fairy of wine."

Xichun praised: "Sister Yun's words are reasonable."

Li Wan said with a smile: "Since that's the case, I'll let them make the arrangements first."

For a while, Suyun, Biyue, Primrose, Qingyu, together with Changmao and Yanmao, brought countless things from the inner room to the outer table.On a two-foot-long wooden plate, small willow branches are covered with various semi-wet dried fish such as sweetfish, earthen cloth, ang thorn, peach flower idiot, and mountain anchovy, as well as scallops soaked in wine, green shrimp, and snail heads.On the long blue and white plate, there are all kinds of soaked beef tenderloin, lamb leg, lamb Sancha, cucumber strips, pork neck, chicken wings, deer breast... In the clay pot are all kinds of mushrooms and vegetables smeared with seasoning oil, and there are a few Plate bait rice cake fragrant rice dumpling.On a three-tier wooden shelf, there are more than a dozen pottery bowls of the same size, which are filled with various sauces and dipping materials.

Baoyu hurried forward, but Li Wan stopped him and said, "Wait a moment, wait for them to burn charcoal."

A few women came up at once, carrying an iron dustpan with iron rings in their hands, filled with red-hot white charcoal from Qinggang oak.One by one, they took the tongs and shovels and filled them with charcoal, and then covered them with wire.These charcoals are all burnt through, without any sparks splashing.

Li Wan asked the maids to bring hot water again, and everyone washed their hands, and removed all the bracelets and chains that were in the way.

After all the charcoal was filled at the other end, Li Wan let people in, and he couldn't help telling: "Be careful, don't burn it. Don't tie your hands. The freshly baked burnt mouth, dipped in the ingredients Eat again." Yunyun.

The two women below are warming lamb gin, but it is to digest the meat.There are also two jars of lotus white, which have sunk in the pool outside the rear window, and now one of them is poured out, and the air is blowing.But it is eaten with barbecue, which is good for extinguishing the fire.

Aunt Li was worried about sisters Li Wen and Li Qi, so she also came over to watch the excitement, and when she saw the formation, she smiled and said, "This is the real stove meeting."

Li Wan hastily moved her to a table beside her, and asked someone to light the charcoal stove, and picked up something that suits her taste on a large plate, and let the maids serve her to eat and drink.Aunt Li didn't give in, she poured herself two sips, laughed at the children playing, and watched the snow falling on the lake outside the window, she couldn't help sighing to herself how rich and romantic Jia's mansion is.
