The next day, we prepared a return gift to visit Mrs. Mei in the Shen Mansion, although it rained all night, fortunately it was already smaller in the morning, looking at the rain under the eaves like mist, but it made people wash the heat of late spring, and felt much cleaner in their hearts.

Ping'er and I took Xiaolan and Sister-in-law Ma out together, Wenxiu and Sister Qiao stayed at home, and it was no one else who drove the car, but Sister-in-law Ma's family. The car entered the side door of the Shen Mansion, and after passing through a sandwich road, I looked through the curtain of the car at the courtyard wall and roof ridge on the other side, where I had lived for several days. Actually, it hasn't been long, but now it looks the same as it was a long, long time ago.

The sky was overcast and the drizzle never stopped. According to the people here, I am afraid that the rain will not stop for a full month, and this month, there is no need to have sunny days.

The car couldn't enter the second door, we got out of the car, and the sister-in-law and the maid-in-law greeted them, and said with a smile: "I got up early today to see that the sky is not clear, and I thought that Mrs. would not come today," I know her well, and I also know that this person likes to talk and laugh: "I think that the fish burned in your house is good, and someone invites me, so I must come to disturb." ”

Yahuan held up an umbrella to cover the top of our heads, and when I walked in, I paid attention to it, Sister-in-law Fu looked energetic and smart, and the Yahuan behind her was also different from the last time we saw it, and she looked much more solemn and respectful, and her expression was different from the past, and one or two of them were good, especially respectful. I have a bottom in my heart, this Mrs. Mei seems to be very authoritative, and she has a hand under the rule of the Li family. After passing through the hall, when I entered the courtyard at the back, I looked at the plaque in front of the door, which said "Dark Xiangzhai", the yard was huge, and there were plum trees in the flower pond, although now the trees were only leaves and no flowers. It seems that the word dark incense also comes from the plum blossoms, isn't there a poem about plum blossoms called dark fragrance floating moon dusk?

When I entered the house and had a face-to-face meeting with Mrs. May, I had nothing to be nervous about. I have nothing to do with Shen Ye, as long as this Mrs. Mei understands this, she should be able to let go of her thoughts and there will be no trouble. This Mrs. Mei is wearing a blue lotus-colored long robe, embroidered with entwined orchids on the collar and sleeves, a jade-white skirt, and a five-strand tired silk oblique phoenix hairpin on her head, without grease powder on her face, she gets up to greet each other, and looks at the dress reminds me of the widow sister-in-law Li Kun in Jiafu, but the look is absolutely different.

I saw the ceremony, she hurriedly stretched out her hand to help, smiled and said that it was not deserved, let the seat on the tea, I looked at her without a trace, the skin and flesh are fine, but how to do it must be a person forty miles away, looking at Mrs. Wang in Bija Mansion but not the same, Mrs. Wang is just a decoration no matter how decent she is, so that she can come with a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west. This one doesn't seem to know why it reminds me of a sentence.

The noodles contain spring and do not show ...... Uh, isn't this what the Red Chamber Book describes Sister Feng?

However, the background of this Shen Mansion is very deep and the matter is very complicated, if you want to be a director in this mansion, you naturally can't be a good stubble.

I talked back and forth with her, she asked about the past, I just said that the original family lived in Beijing, but I was not in good health, so I went to the south to find a clean place to recuperate, because the boat sank on the river, so I was invited by Jiang Ye to get on the boat of the Shen Mansion, which troubled Shen Ye and Jiang Ye all the way.

I speak cautiously, she smiles affectionately, and praises Ping'er for her talent, and she seems to be a sensible and capable helper. Then I asked why one of my brothers didn't come together, and I put down the tea cup in my hand, saying that because Sister Qiao was at home, he also stayed at home to take care of it, so he didn't come together.

"It's not an outsider, you should bring the little girl and her uncle together to talk. Mrs. Mei smiled and said, "I am a half-old woman, and what is there to avoid when I see the younger generations." ”

I also smiled: "Although I said that, I am afraid that today's rain will not stop, and my girl is also weak, so I am afraid that she will catch a cold." ”

I haven't seen anything else about this lady, but the social interaction should be very good, and after a while, our relationship has plummeted to the point of calling each other "Brother Feng" and "Aunt Mei", of course, this is on the surface. Actually......

At noon, Mrs. Mei wants to stay for dinner, she can't quit, she will accompany her to eat in Shen Mansion, the vegetable noodles are not big fish and meat, the Jiangnan flavor is elegant and pleasant, Shen Mansion has a taste of tea steamed fish is excellent, I have praised it before, sure enough, there is that dish on the table today, I taste the tea should be a serious Longjing before the rain, the fish must also have a talk, but I am not very good at it, I only feel that the meat is tender and smooth, the tea is fragrant, and the slightest fishy smell can not be eaten.

I don't want to talk too much, I don't want to talk too much, I don't say too much, it's better not to say it. Anyway, the words at the dinner table were nothing more than "Come on, come on, try this," or: "This tastes so good, I don't know how to do it?" ”

The soup is also good, very fresh, this soup is the best ham that is better than the top grade, the taste is thick and beautiful, and the person who cooks this ham must be a master of cooking, and it is not a waste of things at all.

"By the way, when I came back, I went back to the capital for two days, visited a few relatives and friends, and listened to a lot of fresh stories. Well, there's a family...... The family is not low, speaking of which, Brother Feng, your husband's family is still his own family, and his surname is Jia. ”

A wealthy family surnamed Jia in Beijing......

"Hmm," I scooped a spoonful of soup and looked up at her.

"It is said that a baby boy born with jade in the family was lost after being lifted, and there is no one in the whole capital who does not know this news......"
