For a while, Jia Mu felt that she had enough rest, and led everyone from the side of Qinfang Bridge to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

In the meantime, Aunt Xue also came with the maid, and naturally there was another greeting.

Daiyu is the host here, Jia Mu and other elders come over, she can't be lazy. After the maids boiled the tea, they brought it themselves, and the first bowl was given to Jia's mother.

Mrs. Wang saw that Daiyu felt that Daiyu was delicate and frail, and so many elders were here at this time, if she held the tea one by one, she was tired and didn't say anything, so she said that the tea was hot, and it was not good if she accidentally bumped into it.

So after Daiyu finished serving tea to Jia's mother, she said, "I just ate tea, so the girl doesn't need to pour it for us." ”

Daiyu nodded when she heard this, and ordered someone to move the stool in the room for Mrs. Wang to sit on, and then walked to the side.

Seeing Daiyu sit down, as if she was secretly exhaling, Jia Baoyu smiled.

Daiyu has never been used to doing such vulgar things......

However, his smile immediately attracted the forced gaze of Daiyu, who was always paying attention to everyone's facial expressions.

Jia Baoyu hurriedly sat upright.

Baochai next to him saw this scene, and he also smiled in understanding.

Jia Mu, Grandma Liu and others spoke, and Jia Baoyu and others were inconvenient to interject, and after sitting for a while, they inevitably whispered.

Jia Baoyu saw that Xichun's face was sad, so she scratched her little nose and asked with a smile: "What's wrong with you, you have a sad face, it must be because the monthly money is not enough to buy candy to eat." ”

was made so teased by Jia Baoyu, Xichun suddenly broke his face and smiled shyly.

Daiyu said: "It must be for the old lady's words before, I want to ask her to draw a picture of the garden and bring it back." ”

As she spoke, she pointed to Grandma Liu, who was talking to Jia Mu and others in a rough voice.

Seeing that Daiyu saw through it, Xichun didn't hide it, and explained in a low voice: "I haven't painted for a long time, only one day's work, how can I paint such a big garden." ”

Baochai smiled and said: "Say you stay, the old lady just said that, how can you really let you draw it in one day?" You just have to draw slowly, and the old lady won't rush you. ”

How enlightened Baochai is.

Although Mother Jia is very polite to Grandma Liu, it is just a pastime in the boring years.

In other words, how can it really be reasonable to let Xichun be a painter to help Grandma Liu paint, and let her take her back to the countryside to show their neighbors?

To put it unreasonably, Grandma Liu is not worthy, let alone the people in the township.

Xichun is the granddaughter of the Jia family, a golden and noble figure.

When Xichun heard this, his face really lit up.

If she wasn't in a hurry, she wouldn't be so afraid. She also likes to paint, but she has hastily painted many scenes in the garden, and she has never tried to paint them neatly.

It's still a bit hard, though.

The main thing is to show Jia's mother, if the painting is not good, what should I do.

Thinking about it, I became sad again.

Tanchun suddenly smiled and said: "Second brother, isn't Sister Du proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she should be very good at this, why don't you let her point out the fourth sister when she comes in another day?" ”

Jia Baoyu was taking a cup of tea from the maid's hand, and glanced at Tanchun in surprise.

Tanchun hesitated a little: "Am I wrong, isn't Sister Du an Oiran......"

If it was before, Tanchun and the others would naturally not mention the words "Oiran", but now it is different, Jia Baoyu not only brought people back, but also sealed his aunt.

Du Qiuniang can be regarded as their justifiable little sister-in-law.

Speaking of which, I naturally don't feel too much.

After all, Jia Baoyu's face is big enough, and if he can bring people in, he can be regarded as breaking the barrier between the two classes of Fengchen and Jiafu.

On the other hand, for girls who love to read such as Tanchun, although they usually don't say it, in their hearts, they are really no strangers to these words.

In the book, there are too many......

In any biography of a person, every legendary character written, there are very few people who do not have some confidants.

Among those confidants, many of them are women from dusty backgrounds.

Therefore, although they don't say much respect, they will inevitably have some curiosity about Du Qiuniang, who can become the first Oiran in a state.

At this time, Tanchun subconsciously felt that Du Qiuniang should be enough to guide Xichun to paint.

Facing Tanchun, who was a little cautious, Jia Baoyu shook her head and said, "What she is best at is not this ......."

Halfway through speaking, seeing that everyone had inquiring eyes, he immediately said: "What she is best at is dancing." ”

Well, he didn't lie, before him, Du Qiuniang was indeed the best at dancing.

Dance Skills......

As soon as they heard this, Tanchun and the others stopped talking.

Nowadays, it is important for women to be virtuous if they are not talented, but for them, they can read and write in private, and even learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Only this dance is untouchable.

Without him, since ancient times, dancing has been considered a means that women learned to please men. Because it seems, it really doesn't seem to be of any use other than that.

Therefore, except for the singers and geisha, even folk women, they dare not learn this, because they are easy to be scolded as "fox spirits".

It is rumored that Wu Guifei in the palace is good at dancing, but in fact, it is also unruly.

It's just because the Emperor Taishang and the Queen Mother have already moved to Xiyuan, and the Queen of the East Palace is wide-hearted and fat, and she doesn't take everything to heart and no one restricts her, so Wu Guifei relied on her enchanting posture and taught herself to dance.

Baochai said: "No wonder she has such a name, I think it is taken from the canon of 'Golden Wisp Song'." ”

Baochai said this, glanced at Jia Baoyu again, and lowered his head.

She was well-read and happened to read a biography of Du Qiuniang, a native of Jinling in the Tang Dynasty.

Although Siren was a legendary geisha of the Tang Dynasty, and even Du Mu wrote a preface to her poem, but, in general, the meaning of this name is not good.

In particular, for Jia Baoyu, it is very bad.

Du Qiuniang, a Tang person, became Li Qi's concubine at the age of fifteen, and later entered the palace and became Tang Xianzong's concubine Qiu, but when she was old, she was demoted to a commoner because of a coup d'état......

These are not the point, the point is that Li Qi rebelled, and both father and son were beheaded by Tang Xianzong, and then Du Qiuniang entered the palace.

Such a terrible thing, Baochai, naturally doesn't want to have anything to do with Jia Baoyu.

"Yes, when Sister Bao said that, I remembered it. I used to hear people talk about Sister Du's alias, and I always felt a little familiar, but it turned out to be because of this. Isn't the author of the Tang poem "Golden Silk Clothes" also called Du Qiuniang......"

Yingchun suddenly realized the general way.

Saying this, everyone became a little curious.

Baochai didn't want this topic to be heard by Jia Mu and others, so she said: "Okay, don't talk about this, Xiangyun, I haven't seen her for a while!" ”

"Yes, where is the cloud girl?"

Everyone searched around, and just happened to see Xiangyun rushing in from the curtain of the back door.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she was obviously stunned, and then walked over cautiously.

"What's wrong?"

Xiangyun asked with a little weakness.

Whoever is looking at it as soon as you enter the door will think that something is wrong with you.

Yingchun laughed at her: "What's the matter, we thought you were lost, and you haven't seen anyone." ”

As soon as he heard that it was for this, Xiangyun immediately didn't care.

He walked in front of Jia Baoyu with his hands behind his back and said, "Brother Bao, you stretch out your hand." ”

Jia Baoyu shook his head.

was ridiculed a lot, Xiangyun didn't even call his brother a lover, and turned into a brother Bao. Still, it doesn't sound too bad.

So he obeyed and opened his palms.

"Hee-hee."

Xiangyun smiled, took his hand out of his sleeve pocket, and put it on Jia Baoyu's hand.

Jia Baoyu felt that there was something more in his hand, and for a while he thought that Xiangyun was trying to trick him. But looking at her expression, it doesn't seem like it.

When he raised his hand, Jia Baoyu couldn't help but smile: "Where did you get it from?" ”

The palm of his hand is well-behaved and skillful, and it is actually a few fresh lotus seeds.

Xiangyun said with a smile: "When I came over before, I saw two girls peeling lotus pods on the edge of the river, so I went over, and they gave me this, saying that they were picked from the pool behind the Dicui Pavilion." ”

"When it's a rare thing, it's worth a special trip for you, and you can get it back like a treasure."

Baochai laughed.

Xiangyun snorted and found a place to sit down.

Jia Baoyu was very face-saving, and after smiling, he put the excess on the table and began to peel the lotus seeds.

Fresh lotus seeds, the flesh is white and tender, fragrant and delicious.

A lot of lotus flowers have been planted in the Grand View Garden, and now the lotus pods are also ripe in large quantities, and it is conceivable that the Grand View Garden after that must be full of maids peeling lotus seeds and eating and playing.

"Sister Yun, you give me two."

Xichun saw Jia Baoyu eating in front of everyone, and couldn't help but ask Xiangyun for it.

Xiangyun immediately smiled and touched some for her......

I didn't give it before, not because I was reluctant, but because I knew that these people generally don't eat these things.

Only Jia Baoyu and her can make up a pair at this point, so she only gives Jia Baoyu.

"What do you eat?"

Jia Mu above heard the movement here and asked with a smile.

Wang Xifeng saw it earlier, and said with a smile: "The old lady doesn't know, your grandchildren haven't eaten enough, so they are secretly going to the field to pick wild fruits and share them at this time." ”

For Wang Xifeng's jokes, everyone is naturally happy.

Mother Jia saw the lotus seeds eaten by Jia Baoyu and the others, shook her head and smiled at Grandma Liu: "The old in-laws are smiling, my other grandchildren are fine, just these two are a little naughty, but they are laughing." ”

Grandma Liu hurriedly said: "I don't see a smile, I don't see a smile, those children in our township also like to go to the pond to pick this and eat it!" ”

Wang Xifeng walked up to Jia Baoyu and the two and teased: "Listen carefully, if you don't stop, you will all become children in the township!" ”

Grandma Liu knew that she had said the wrong thing.

In this regard, Jia Mu and others naturally don't mind much.

Jia's mother also instructed Jia Baoyu and others to eat less, saying that it was not good to eat too much of these things.

Jia Baoyu and Xiangyun also agreed.

"Second brother, I saw that my sister-in-law and they have prepared a boat in the dock, let's row a boat to pick lotus flowers!"

Xiangyun pulled Jia Baoyu's sleeve and strongly recommended.

Daiyu smiled and said, "I see that you have so much hidden in your pocket, not enough for you to eat?" ”

Xiangyun is snuggling. In fact, she really didn't eat a few, mainly because she thought it was fun.

Picking off the round and chubby lotus pod, and then peeling out the round lotus seeds inside, that feeling is really interesting.

Moreover, if you are hungry, you can also stop by and eat lotus seed meat......

Wouldn't it be more fun than sitting here?

But today is Jia's mother visiting the garden, and they want to accompany them. Therefore, only by letting Jia Baoyu come out can they play justifiably.

"Okay?" Xiangyun began to be coquettish, and she didn't want Jia Mu and others to see that she instigated it, so her actions were a little secretive.

This kind of secrecy is more intimate.

Jia Baoyu smiled. Who can bear to refuse such a little girl?

So after enjoying Xiangyun's intimacy, Jia Baoyu stood up and asked Jia's mother to resign.

Although Mother Jia originally wanted them to behave more, so as not to make Grandma Liu feel that the girls in their family were not decent.

But because it was Jia Baoyu's idea, she didn't say anything.

However, according to the usual practice, she still asked Li Kun to take care of her.
