Chapter 40: Liwei
On the birthday of Daiyu in the Flower Dynasty Festival, early in the morning to welcome the spring, to explore the spring, to cherish the spring sent gifts, the spring sent two hand-embroidered sachets, the spring sent two handkerchiefs, the spring sent a hand-painted painting. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info then Baoyu came over to give a set of dolls, which can be put together in order from small to large, and Yinglian also sent a handkerchief.
And then there's Baochai. When everyone was holding Lin Daiyu, she naturally wouldn't annoy everyone, so she sent someone to send some melons, fruits and vegetables. At this time, there are not many greenhouses, and the price of occasionally producing some vegetables is relatively expensive. Baochai sent it like this, and even Jia's mother couldn't help but sigh: "This child has a heart." ”
Daiyu knows that Baochai has always won a reputation for generosity and virtue in front of people, and if she doesn't accept it, it will make people feel that they are petty. So he accepted it generously, and ordered Zijuan to take a few silver bills and give them to the mother-in-law sent by Baochai to deliver vegetables. Then he divided some of those things, and asked Xue Yan to open the box and take out a set of six delicate glass bowls, and sent some to the second lady of Xing Wang, Sister Feng, Li Kun, and Jia Mu, and even one from Aunt Zhao. The rest was sent to Tanchun, where she arranged it to be used at the birthday party.
In the morning, Xiangyun hurried over, only to see Jia's mother, so he went to Daiyu's house. first gave Daiyu a wrapper and a handkerchief as a birthday gift, and then asked: "I heard that the third sister came to preside over the birthday banquet, I don't know what's fun?" The mother-in-law who came to pick me up couldn't tell me clearly. ”
Daiyu smiled and said, "Even I don't know, she said halfway, but she made a pretense again, and we will ask her later." As he spoke, he pulled Xiangyun to the mirror. Xiangyun straightened his sideburns in the mirror, and Baoyu outside had already rushed over, and said to Xiangyun and Daiyu: "I just looked for you, don't go over quickly, everyone has arrived." ”
Daiyu nodded, so she and Xiangyun took Cui Wei and Xue Yan out to the garden, leaving Zijuan in the house to watch the house.
Baoyu took a step behind and talked to Xue Yan, but Daiyu and Xiangyun ignored him when they saw him, and said considerate words as they walked. Xiangyun saw that Baoyu was lagging behind, and asked Daiyu: "Don't you always bring purple juan with you on weekdays, why did you change the snow goose today?" ”
Daiyu replied with a smile: "The purple cuckoo is more stable, and the snow goose is more lively. Then there is the little girl Xiangling next to Sister Bao, who is now by the old lady's side, and has changed her real name back to Yinglian. I think that as soon as the old lady comes out, she will not leave her in the house and keep her stuffy, but she will also bring her out. Snow Goose is young, and she is also a fellow villager with Yinglian. Let's play on it, so that the two of them can go together. ”
Xiangyun nodded when he heard this, and asked, "But that little girl who bought it from the traffickers and caused a human life?" ”
Daiyu nodded, and couldn't help frowning: This matter seems to be known to everyone, at least in Jingzhong, I am afraid that many people know. That Jia Yucun first judged the case arbitrarily, and then wrote a letter to show goodwill to Jia Zheng, and now he frequently comes to Jia Mansion as a guest, but he is afraid that he will be used by someone with a heart, and it will be another disaster.
So Xiang Xiangyun asked, "Where did you hear this?" Xiangyun said with a smile: "Come over at that time, chat with Aunt Xue and them, and listen to what Sister Bao said about Ying'er." ”
Daiyu bowed her head, knowing that the Xue family had always had no scruples, even if they broke the law and committed crimes, they would only treat them as if they were nothing, and they dared to preach it everywhere. She groaned slightly, and put this matter aside for the time being. The dirty things of the Xue family can't be used to spoil their good mood. So it didn't take long for him to return to normal, and he still talked with Xiangyun about some gossip.
When I came to the warm fragrance dock, I saw that everything was neatly cleaned up, and when the curtain was opened, a hot air came to my face, warm as spring. When everyone saw Daiyu come in, they all laughed and said, "The birthday star is here!" Before the words fell, I saw Xiangyun turn out of Daiyu behind her, Tanchun said with a smile: "I know that they must be together, these two people have arrived, and the second brother is not far away." ”
Before the words fell, Baoyu stepped in. The crowd burst into laughter, which made him scratch his head. When I figured out the reason, I only laughed it off. Daiyu looked closely at the surrounding layout, and saw that from the top of the house to the sides were small black lacquer square tables, prepared with various dishes and a small stove, on which sat a delicate little pot, which was steaming. There are also two large tables in one place, on which are placed snacks and boxes, or to eat or appreciate girls. In the warm pavilion on the side of Nuan Xiangwu, the little actors are putting on makeup and hanging their voices.
Daiyu was looking, and suddenly someone came in with the curtain, it turned out that Wang Xifeng was helping Jia's mother, and arrived with Mandarin Duck, Yinglian, and Ping'er. Jia Mu said with a smile: "Miss Lin, we are all guests today, we have to celebrate her birthday." There are also three girls, it's rare to let her do her best, let's ignore it, just get drunk and mess around. ”
Daiyu came up to greet her with a smile, and Mother Jia smiled and asked Wang Xifeng to send Daiyu's birthday greeting, Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "The ancestor came to give her face, what else do you want to send?" As he spoke, he asked Ping'er to hand it over. Ping'er handed over two small boxes and a small baggage, and said, "One of the two boxes is the old lady's mind, and the other is the mind of our second grandmother. In this little bag is a handkerchief sachet made by me, and the girl can keep it for her own use or reward others. ”
Daiyu smiled and took it. Wang Xifeng served Jia's mother to sit down on the upper chair, asked the little actors to start preparing to sing, and instructed the waiting girls to pay attention to the charcoal fire in the stove, so busy for a while, Xiang Daiyu smiled and said: "You pour a glass of wine on the table for me to eat, even if I am mixed with the banquet." ”
When Daiyu heard this, she hurriedly went to fetch a cup, found a pot of wine that had just been warmed, poured a glass, and sent it to Wang Xifeng's lips, and personally took the chopsticks, and took two chopsticks and cold dishes to Sister Feng's mouth.
Wang Xifeng took a drink from Daiyu's hand and said, "This is Jinhua wine." After eating Daiyujia's dishes again, he said with a smile: "Okay, I'm going now, if there is anything, just go to the eldest lady to find me." ”
Daiyu couldn't help but be surprised, so she asked, "Why are you in such a hurry, but what's the matter with the eldest aunt?" Wang Xifeng smiled and said, "It's not your idea yet?" All you have to do in this garden and coax the old lady well. I have sent someone to guard the gate of the garden, and no one is allowed to come and disturb me. ”
Daiyu's face changed, and Wang Xifeng attached her ear next to her, saying that today, while the old lady and the girls were in the garden to celebrate her birthday, the second lady of Xing Wang wanted to "kill the chicken" and take a few stewards who had been verified to deceive the upper and lower and the lower to mix the money.
