Chapter 45

Jia Zheng chose an auspicious day, February 22, and asked Baoyu and others to move into the garden. Because he thought that Shi Xiangyun had never gone to the Grand View Garden to enjoy and play, Xue Baochai, Baoyu and Sanchun discussed, and decided that the sisters would get together and set up a few tables in the Cave Jingxi Pavilion, invite Lin Daiyu and Shi Xiangyun to have a banquet, and invite Mother Jia and Aunt Xue, Mrs. Xing, and Mrs. Wang to accompany them.

Mother Jia liked to be lively the most, so she immediately agreed, and then ordered everyone to go to the Shi family to pick up Xiangyun in person. Sure enough, as soon as Shi Xiangyun heard this, he came in a hurry.

"I've admired the Grand View Garden for a long time, but it's a pity that my old lady is not happy to let me live in it."

As soon as Lin Daiyu entered the door, she heard Shi Xiangyun's chirping voice and said with a smile: "What? With the Grand View Garden, did you start to dislike my Yilan Courtyard? โ€

Shi Xiangyun immediately jumped over, took Lin Daiyu's hand and said, "How can it!" How good Yilan Courtyard is, I still can't sleep in the middle of the night to go fishing! Good sister, I was wrong! โ€

Xue Baochai walked over with a smile, holding Lin Daiyu with one hand and Shi Xiangyun with the other, "Okay, okay, is this to show your sisterhood in front of us?" Why don't you sit down! He pulled the two of them to sit down beside Mother Jia, and then looked at Lin Daiyu with a smile and said, "Sister Lin doesn't know, Sister Yun may be going to live in your Yilan Dean!" Do you hate her? If you don't like it, Sister Yun can come to my Xiaoxiang Pavilion! โ€

Lin Daiyu also knew it in her heart, yesterday, she received a letter from her father, which said that Mrs. Shi entrusted Shi Xiangyun's marriage to her father, although it was only a few words, and she didn't even say the reason. But Lin Daiyu still noticed something, and then contacted the southwest thing that her father talked about before, Lin Daiyu guessed a rough idea in her heart.

Xue Baochai's words confirmed Lin Daiyu's guess, and she looked at Shi Xiangyun, as if she blamed Shi Xiangyun for not telling her earlier. Shi Xiangyun stuck out his tongue, in exchange for Mama Wang's stern cough. Shi Xiangyun was busy sitting down, and said sternly: "My old lady remembers her second uncle, so she plans to set off to the southwest when spring begins." Hehe, she thinks I'm in trouble, so she doesn't plan to take me there. Sister Lin, you won't dislike me, right? โ€

Lin Daiyu glanced at her and didn't speak.

Wang Xifeng walked in with a smile, "How dare Sister Lin dislike you?" She's not afraid of being scratched to death by you! โ€

The crowd burst into laughter.

Wang Xifeng walked up to Jia's mother with a smile, "Back to the old lady, the garden is all arranged, and the old lady can set off." Then he deliberately beat his waist, and said with a sad face, "Alas, although I knew that my grandchildren were my own family, the old lady only felt distressed, and the granddaughter-in-law was someone else's family after all, so I didn't feel distressed at all." Unfortunately, I've been busy since the morning, and I haven't even drunk hot tea. Alas! Poor thing! โ€

Jia Mu and the others were amused by Wang Xifeng's words, and pointed at Wang Xifeng while laughing, "Mandarin duck, hurry, let people serve tea and block her mouth!" โ€

The mandarin duck smiled and led the people, poured Wang Xifeng a few cups of tea, and said: "My good second grandmother, don't say that the slave doesn't feel sorry for you, this is the best West Lake Longjing, hurry up, drink a few more cups." โ€

Everyone looked at Wang Xifeng's wolf bรจi with a smile, Wang Xifeng gasped, looked at the wolf bรจi's unbearable self, reached out and patted it lightly on the mouth, "It's all your fault!" โ€

This gesture made everyone laugh again, and Mrs. Wang wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "You better go back and change your clothes first!" Beware of colds. โ€

Jia Mu also smiled and said, "You go!" Don't worry, I feel sorry for you and will be waiting for you. โ€

Wang Xifeng said exaggeratedly: "Oh, it's rare that I have such a big face and let so many people wait for me." Forget about others, if you let the old lady wait for me, wouldn't it be a loss of my life? Still don't. Old lady, you go first, I will change my clothes and go over to serve the old lady immediately." โ€

Seeing this, Jia Mu nodded and let Wang Xifeng go. The mandarin duck helped Jia's mother, and the group went to the garden in a mighty way.

Mother Jia was happy today, holding Shi Xiangyun's hand, walking, looking at the line, Shi Xiangyun nodded while watching, sure enough, it was the Grand View Garden that cost millions of taels of silver, and it lived up to the reputation of all the scenery in heaven and earth. They entered through the gate and first went to Jia Baoyu's Yihong Courtyard, only to see that there were red flowers and willows inside, and a few cranes strolling leisurely.

Jia Mu smiled: "This is your second brother's house. When he spoke, everyone had already sat down, Musk Yue took Qingwen and others to tea, Shi Xiangyun looked at it, it seemed that there were many familiar faces, Shi Xiangyun knew the reason for this, so he didn't ask more.

Jia Mu looked around and asked, "Yun girl, what do you think of this house?" But what's the downside? โ€

Shi Xiangyun smiled, "This house is full of flowers, magnificent, and everything is good." Well, if I really want to say anything bad, I feel like something is missing. Yes! I know, there is no decent study, it doesn't look like a son's house, and Sister Lin's house has more books than the second brother's here! โ€

It's okay for others, but Xue Baochai nodded, "That's what Sister Yun said." I think that Brother Bao should be arranged with a study, Brother Bao is like a day, although he is weak, it is not good to go to the clan class, but he can't forget to read on weekdays! You must know that learning from the past is like sailing, and if you don't advance, you will retreat. Brother Bao needs an idea! โ€

Jia Baoyu was immediately unhappy, Sister Bao was gentle and kind, her complexion was charming, everything was good, but she always liked to say something like this. Sister Yun was fine before, why has she become so vulgar now!

Shi Xiangyun smiled secretly in her heart, it was because she knew the old lady's plan that she came up with such a trick. Jia Baoyu hates and likes something, she knows it very well. It's not easy to please him, and it's not easy to make him hate!

Mrs. Wang looked at Xue Baochai with satisfaction, "In the end, it is a treasure girl, and she is insightful when she speaks." Did you hear it, hurry up and set up a study according to Miss Bao's words. On weekdays, you have to persuade Baoyu to study more, don't even think about letting a good brother play with you! โ€

Hearing Mrs. Wang's words, Jia Baoyu's expression became even more depressed, and Jia's mother was distressed when she saw it, "Okay, okay, on such a happy day today, don't talk about these unhappy things." But Baoyu, books are also to be read, and the ancestors are still counting on the day when Baoyu is named on the gold list! โ€

When Jia Baoyu heard the four words of the title of the gold list, he became more and more dissatisfied, if it was someone else who said this, he would have spat it a long time ago, but the person who said this was the old lady who loved him the most, even if he was dissatisfied, he could only put it in his heart. Why are they all so vulgar, reading and reading is obviously the most elegant thing in the world, why should the world make such an elegant thing so vulgar?

Thinking of this, Jia Baoyu sighed, and then remembered Shi Xiangyun, who first mentioned this topic, and couldn't help but be dissatisfied with Shi Xiangyun, Sister Yun has also changed, and she has become so vulgar!

Coming out of Yihong Courtyard, after Qinfang Pavilion, it is the Xiaoxiang Pavilion where Xue Baochai lives, here the phoenix tail is forested, the dragon is thin, surrounded by a piece of green bamboo, it is more secluded than other places, go in and see, the small three rooms, one light and two dark, Shi Xiangyun thought that this Xiaoxiang Pavilion is not even half of the Yilan Courtyard, of course, the Yilan Courtyard is comfortable!

When I went in, I saw that the snow cave was like a snowy cave, and there were no toys of any color. There is a soil bottle on the case, and there are several chrysanthemums in the bottle, and two books, tea and teacups. Only a green gauze curtain hung from the bed, and the mattress was very simple.

Jia Mu sighed slightly, "How does this make it, so is the treasure girl, honestly." You don't have any furnishings, so why don't you ask your aunt for some? โ€

Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng smiled: "We sent it, she didn't want it." Aunt Xue also smiled and said, "Bao girl is weird, she has never liked those flowers." The old lady doesn't have to bother. โ€

Jia Mu didn't know what to think, and didn't praise and disparage Xue Baochai as said in the original book, but said with a smile: "This place is narrow, let's go forward." โ€

Coming out of Zilingzhou, Wang Xifeng saw that Jia's mother was in a mood today, and walked a long way, worried that Jia's mother couldn't stand it, so he said with a smile: "Hey, I'm tired after walking for so long, and the old lady is also distressed and distressed for her grandson and daughter-in-law, let's set up a meal?" Even if the ancestors don't feel sorry for their grandchildren and daughters-in-law, they have to feel sorry for their grandchildren, and they can't let their grandchildren go to the garden hungry, right? If others don't say it first, won't the old lady feel sorry for your princess's granddaughter? "Say it, push Lin Daiyu into Jia's mother's arms.

Lin Daiyu's face turned red, and she said angrily: "Sister Feng, you can eat yourself when you are hungry, why bother using me as a cover!" Ancestor! Lin Daiyu stomped her feet and lied to Jia's mother. Mother Jia was coaxed to be happy, seeing this, she put her arms around Lin Daiyu with one hand and pointed at Wang Xifeng with the other, "You are a phoenix spicy, you know that your sister Lin is thin-skinned, why bother talking about your sister Lin!" It's time to fight! Then he lowered his head and comforted Lin Daiyu, "Good Yu'er, don't be angry!" Let's punish her when we go back, let her serve us to eat, don't let her eat, just watch! โ€

Wang Xifeng didn't care, "Okay, okay, whatever the old lady says, I'll do it!" Who made me clumsy and offended the old lady's heart! I only hope that Sister Lin, who will serve later, will be satisfied, so that I can go around my experience and enjoy a few mouthfuls of food. โ€

Everyone laughed, Lin Daiyu was ashamed and angry, with a red face, and she didn't know what to say. simply buried his face in Jia's mother's arms and stopped talking. Mother Jia hugged Lin Daiyu and smiled from ear to ear. Only Mrs. Wang glanced at Wang Xifeng intentionally or unintentionally. Mrs. Xing saw it, covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled.

The group walked to the Cave Jingxi Pavilion, which had already been prepared, and when everyone came, it was served. Although it was a banquet prepared by the sisters, the dishes were very rich, the old lady drank two bowls of sour bamboo shoots and chicken skin soup, and ate three steamed buns with tofu skin.
