"Red beans are born in the south, and a few are sent in spring. May you pick more, this thing is the most lovely. ”

He has always loved those poems with gorgeous rhetoric and fragrant lips and teeth, and today I know that the lingering affection in ordinary words is worth chewing repeatedly. Tang Dynasty Wang Majie's "Acacia", he learned it very early, but now he realizes the dense love of the person in his heart picking red beans.

Baoyu looked at the small red flower in front of the window in a daze, and her face was infatuated.

The two mothers-in-law who were pruning the flower branches whispered: "Second master, what's wrong?" Stupid, what are you doing standing there? ”

"Don't mention it, I heard that the second master of Kaichun went to Rongfu once, and it became like this."

"The second master went there once in the first month, and when he came back, he was beaten by the master; I went there again, and when I came back, I looked like I was demented. Mrs. Zhao, who spoke, glanced left and right, saw that there was no one around, and said in a low voice, "You say, is the second master fighting with the Rong Mansion?" ”

Another Huang Pozi laughed a few times, and said shyly: "Do you know that the new cousin girl from Rongfu looks like a fairy?" ”

"If people don't go out of the door, how do I know what she looks like? What does that have to do with the second master-ah, could it be ......?"

"Shhhh Mrs. Zhao gossiped, "My daughter-in-law's sister's second sister-in-law's little granddaughter was on an errand in the second master's house, and she also went with her that day. It is said that when Miss Lin came over in pale yellow clothes, the spring breeze blew, and the sleeves of this dress fluttered, Huo, she thought which fairy had descended to earth. At that time, the second master was stunned, and he didn't know that his saliva was about to flow down. ”

"Can't you? There are a lot of maids in the second master's house, the face, the chest, the waist, and they twist their waists in front of the second master all day long, pinching flowers or something. How could the second master be fascinated by a cousin? I heard that this cousin is younger than the second master. Besides, didn't the second master just make a fuss about buying a maid yesterday? It was the one who was later called 'Qingwen'. It's a weird name, and it's weird. I've seen her, hey, I've never seen such a pretty maid, and she has a bad temper, and I think my wife will have to clean her up sooner or later. Mrs. Huang said with a smashing mouth.

"What do you know, those maids are beautiful, but people are tired of seeing them." Mrs. Zhao said as if she had seen her cousin with her own eyes, and expressed her high opinion, "The cousin is not only beautiful, but also fairy." Standing there, just like that, the water fairy. The Qingwen you are talking about, I heard that she looks a little similar to her cousin. Do you think, how much does it look like this-how beautiful, how beautiful do you be? Ordinary men can look at Amitabha Buddha at a glance! ”

Mrs. Huang didn't believe it, she was still talking about Qingwen, "That girl is really a girl who doesn't know the cost of firewood, rice, oil and salt, a fan made of silk, tear it when she says it, and the little girl who cleaned up her things will feel distressed that day." The girl said a few more words, and Qingwen twisted her mouth when she got started, and I looked at it, and now the mouth is still swollen. ”

Mrs. Zhao sneered, "What is this called, 'a smile of a daughter', Qingwen just relied on her good skin, and when the second young grandmother entered the door in the future, she would feel better." ”

The two mothers-in-law began to speak, and their voices became louder. The two of them were shocked, they were busy, and when they looked at it again, the second master was still looking at the little flower stupidly, and he didn't know what to look at.

After Baoyu came back, he became this idiot, and the most anxious person was Xiao Wang.

watched his son see a flower, and said, "Sister Lin will definitely like this"; saw a maid who looked like Daiyu, let her tear the fan, and didn't care how much porcelain she broke; What worries Xiao Wang the most is that once Baoyu ran out, a large number of people were looking for him in the house, but he didn't see anyone, and then he was found on the root of the wall on the east side of the Rong Mansion - there is a lotus pond to the east of the Rong Mansion, and Shang Hexuan, where Daiyu lives, is not far from the lotus pond.

Jia Baoyu's various abnormalities, Jia Zheng knew about it, frowned and scolded: "What kind of system!" In a blink of an eye, he wrote a letter to Lin Ruhai. Baoyu is his only second son-in-law, seeing that the smart Baoyu is like losing his soul, and the aura is not there, how can Jia Zheng not feel distressed.

Lin Ruhai, who was far away in Yangzhou, suddenly received a letter from his second uncle and was stunned. He and his second uncle have not been in the same room for a long time, and even the Mid-Autumn Festival and Chongyang Festival gifts were sent by the hitchhiker of Rongfu with the New Year's ceremony. Why did you suddenly remember to write to him?

With confusion and incomprehension, as well as a hint of curiosity (Jia Hu, who is a nephew, is not less than gossiping about his second uncle's family), Lin Ruhai opened the letter.

As a result, he was so angry that he almost hit someone.

Lin Ruhai is also considered to be well-cultivated, in the face of the letter throughout the letter "My Fair Lady, Gentleman is good", Baoyu "fell in love at first sight" with Daiyu, and was "fascinated" for her, this kind of text that ruined Daiyu's reputation was just torn apart fiercely and burned by himself. Then he wrote a stern, resolute rejection letter to his second uncle.

He slandered, since he stopped being an official, the second uncle has really become more and more faceless and skinless, and this kind of old and uncultivated words can be said.

Daiyu is his only blood and blood, and her husband, Lin Ruhai, must be chosen for life. As early as when he decided not to renew the string, Lin Ruhai thought about the possibility of Daiyu's second son inheriting the Lin family. To meet this condition, Daiyu's husband's family must be a clean and upright family, so as not to break the contract after he goes. This first one, the second uncle's Baoyu does not meet.

The baby girl was coveted, which made Lin Ruhai realize that his daughter had grown up. Calculate again, Daiyu will be next year. When she is filial, it is the year of breaking melons, and the marriage should be done early. Thinking like this, Lin Ruhai wrote another handwriting, so he stopped writing and ordered someone to send it to Shandong.

When Jia Zheng received the reply, he was really sorry. In his opinion, there is nothing bad about Baoyu and Daiyu. It's not that he boasts, although he always scolds Baoyu for his wickedness, but Baoyu has a natural aura, and he was born with jade, and there will be creation in the future. However, the brother-in-law wanted to let his son-in-law pass the second son, and Jia Zheng was just that. His grandson has no surname Jia.

I regret it in my heart, and I naturally show traces in my actions.

On this day, Xiao Wang mentioned that his first wife's sister married the Xue family, and said that the daughter of the Xue family was coming, Jia Zheng rarely said: "Brother-in-law Hengzhulin can't look down on Baoyu, and let's see if the Baochai you said can cure Baoyu's dementia." ”

Xiao Wang's immediately raised his eyebrows and asked, Jia Zheng remembered her 120,000 points of care for Baoyu, explained casually, and didn't take it to heart afterwards. Unexpectedly, Xiao Wang's heart exploded at that time, and it was only with more than 30 years of concentration that he kept his face stiff.

Because of this public case, when Xiao Wang saw the mother and daughter of the Xue family, he inevitably paid a little more attention to Xue Baochai.

In the not very glamorous hall, Sister Bao sat on the embroidery pier reservedly, listening to Xue's mother and Xiao Wang's greetings. Out of the corner of the eye, pay attention to the interior and secretly estimate the value of the furniture. With this mental arithmetic, Baochai couldn't help but be shocked: Although this Jia family is a flat-headed common people, after all, it is also a branch of the Rong Mansion, how can it be so downcast?

Xiao Wang didn't know that Sister Bao was playing her true colors as a businessman, she saw Xue Baochai's skin was smooth, her waist and buttocks were plump, and her complexion was very good, so she first concluded that she was healthy and looked like a good child.

This alone is much stronger than Lin Daiyu, who can be blown down by a gust of wind.

Looking at its appearance, it is the dignified and atmospheric one that the ladies like the most; Observe the demeanor, advance and retreat in a measured manner, and gesture between gestures, which makes people indescribably comfortable. Probably because of Baochai's kindness to others, it makes people feel like a spring breeze.

Xiao Wang nodded in his heart, and smiled at Xue's mother: "Mrs. Xue is so blessed, Baochai is such a good person, I can't wait to snatch it." - I don't know who will be cheaper in the future. ”

Mother Xue hurriedly said: "Mrs. Jia carries love." He also explained that Baochai had signed up for the general election," ...... It's the primary election in June, and her aunt found a nurturing grandmother from the palace, learned some rules, and was naughty before, but now it's good. ”

Xiao Wang's strange said: "Baochai also wants to enter the palace?" It's a coincidence, our second girl from Dongfu is also participating in the general election. I heard that there are a lot of people released in the palace, and they are planning to invite one for our family to visit spring. ”

"Your girl also wants to run?" Mother Xue wondered, didn't the daughter left by her sister already become a nobleman?

"No, no, no," Xiao Wang shook his head, Tanchun is a shrewd person, and she has a younger brother, in case she gains power, who to help. "It's just that Tanchun is already fourteen, and it's time to get ready." What to prepare, it goes without saying.

Baochai listened to it and said in his heart: This side is the system of the family. Yes, the Xue family is an imperial merchant after all, since the family is divided, how can the money of the aunt's family be compared with the Xue family. It's just a noble house, the weather is clear, although the money is not handy, but the pomp is not bad. For example, as a concubine, Mrs. Jia also invited the upbringing grandmother from the palace. Looking at it this way, the treatment that I only have because I want to enter the palace cannot be compared at all. It's no wonder that everyone always looks down on businesswomen like me.

It's just that Baochai is not inferior to herself, she believes that there are few people like me in the world, even if she is the daughter of a prince, she Xue Baochai is not afraid. When Tanchun also came to see the guests, Baochai saw that although it was a fragrant and prickly rose, it was also rare in the world, and she stood by her side, and she was even more determined.

After seeing the pomp of the Jia family, Xue Mu still regretted: the branch of the Rong Mansion is still like this, and I don't know what the family is. I heard that Ning Rong Erfu is a mansion alone, which occupies most of Ning Rong Street, which is magnificent and beautiful, but I don't know what kind of weather it is. If my sister is still there, I can still ask her to take me to Rongfu to open my eyes, but who knows that she is not blessed and goes early.

The Xue family intended to cling to the Rong Mansion, but there was no way, and the next post was like a stone sinking into the sea. Mother Xue regretted in her heart, but the threshold of Rong Mansion was high, and we and other merchants were not allowed to enter.

Who knew that Xue Pan heard it and was very angry.

He has always been domineering in Jinling, but he can't show his hands in the realm of nobles in the capital. The Rong Mansion and his family are also in-laws, and Jia, Wang, Shi, and Xue are old relatives, and now the Xue family can't even enter the door of the Rong Mansion, how can the dumb overlord not be angry?

He made up his mind to do something big so that his mother and sister would be impressed by him.

Not to mention how Xue Pan mobilized his new fox friends and dog friends, just said that this day happened to be resting, and Jia Hu, who was resting in the Zhongshun Palace, got up early in the morning the night before. dragged Zhou Su up from the bed, and after breakfast, the two went to Longyuan Building to listen to the play.

As soon as you hear the name, you know that this theater has something to do with the royal family. In fact, it was built by a few older clansmen, and almost no one dared not to give it face. Any newcomer to the troupe, if they don't sing a few plays here, they are not famous. Or famous opera troupes in other places, Longyuanlou regularly spends a lot of money to invite them to come to the capital to sing a play.

Even Zhou Su, who has raised his own opera troupe, couldn't help but come up and listen to a play when he heard that Longyuanlou had invited a famous troupe again, or rehearsed a new play.

Therefore, Long Yuanlou said early on that the famous Hui class came to power today, and Zhou Su looked forward to it, and Jia Hu, who didn't want to be alone, naturally followed.

Before the big drama started, Zhou Su stared at the stage with good eyes, and his hands unconsciously patted the fan.

When Jia Hu saw it, he was amused in his heart, and ordered someone to bring the tea, fruits, snacks and other things he prepared. Longyuanlou's own tea and snacks are good, but Jia Hu is still more accustomed to his own tea.

Soon the big drama started, and things came up. Zhou Su listened attentively to the play, but no matter how long Jia Hu listened to it, he still couldn't stand the slow plot of the play, or there was no substance at all, only a beautiful singing voice or a listen. Jia Hu directly regarded it as background music, squinting his eyes and eating fruits, listening to songs, and enjoying it.

The maid brought another plate of fruit. Seeing this, Jia Hu couldn't help but straighten his waist, risking his lover's anger to wake up Zhou Su, who was immersed in the opera and shaking his head.

Zhou Su's face darkened, and when he turned his head to see that it was Jia Hu, the corners of his eyes were raised, with a little coquettish willfulness, and he said unhappily: "What are you doing?" ”

Jia Hu laughed silently, rubbed to his side, and raised his hand to put it on his shoulder, "Your favorite strawberry has come down." ”

Zhou Su looked at the red and bright delicate fruits on the blue and white porcelain plates, and was taken aback: "So many? Don't you have to go in this year? ”

It turned out that a few years ago, Jia Hu began to ask farmers to start cultivating strawberries.

At first, I just brought a few bags of seeds from overseas and raised them carefully. Later, when there were more and more experience, they dared to cultivate on a large scale.

Because strawberries are sweet and sour, have a good taste, and look good to eat - the palace concubines who have eaten it several times have fallen in love, so strawberries have become a "tribute". Especially after starting to grow strawberries in greenhouses, strawberries have become a favorite figure at palace banquets in recent years.

However, strawberries are still a crop that has emerged in recent years, and the number has always been small. At the same time, this squeamish fruit is a little bumpy, or it has been a long time and is not fresh, and the quality is poor. Good quality is given priority to the palace, and many noble families can't afford to eat; The quality is different, so naturally it is made into various snacks and appears on the dining table of high-ranking families.

Of course, for Jahu, this is not a problem.

The strawberries were planted by him, and he took a little from the tribute to the emperor to eat them at home, and no one could say anything.

However, this plate of strawberries is not only very fresh, there is no taste of touching, it is rare that there are large and small, the shape is good, and there are a lot of them, much more than last year, so Zhou Su was so surprised.

Jia Hu smiled: "You don't know, the ships that went to sea last year didn't lose anything, I asked someone to collect half a boatload of seeds, and asked someone to plant them before the Chinese New Year." Now that there is a bumper harvest, the harvest is very much, and half of the Thai has entered the palace, and I think the ministers below can still get a plate in their homes. ”

"When the above rewards come down, it's not fresh." Zhou Su shook his head and opened his mouth to bite the strawberry that was sent to his mouth.

A white jade-like finger looks particularly good against the backdrop of the bright red strawberries in the delicate middle. Zhou Su ate the strawberry with his fingers, and the strawberry broke the skin at the entrance, flowing red juice, and Zhou Su sucked it at his fingertips, making a slurping sound...... 166 Reading Network
