Daguan Garden, Qiushuangzhai, Xiaocui Hall corridor, Baochai with a repertoire, and generous and decent demeanor, won the secret praise of the elders.

Even Jia's mother has to admit that in comparison, these granddaughters of her own family are inferior to Baochai in this regard.

It just so happened that Yuanchun also knew that today was Baochai's birthday, so he specially sent palace people to send imperial wine and congratulations.

Jia Mu ordered the small drama to be suspended for a while, and asked someone to present things.

The wine is gone, and it is said that He Yi is: a palace fan, two strings of red musk beads, and two ends of the phoenix tail.

Jia Mu looked at it and said with a smile: "In the end, she still loves these cousins, these few things, even I am greedy when I see them." ”

So he ordered the palace people to go down to eat and drink, and asked the mandarin duck to present the gift plate to Baochai.

Jia Mu said that greed is naturally a joke, in order to point out the preciousness of these things.

The Xue family is an imperial merchant, and Baochai often sees royal things, and she knows better than others the preciousness of the red musk beads and phoenix tails.

Besides, there is another meaning, Yuan Chun is Jia Baoyu's sister, and what she personally gave has a different meaning for her.

Therefore, when he took over He Yi, he was a little distracted for a while. Mother Jia naturally won't feel inappropriate when she sees it, being given a birthday gift by her mother is an honor, and the more she cherishes it, the better.

Xiangyun sat next to her, she was a person with few taboos, and it didn't matter if it was something given by her mother, she just waited for Baochai to sit down, and after asking, she picked up the musk beads to play with.

Bao Chai smiled and asked her to take it.

"Sister Lin, do you see if it looks good?"

Xiangyun praised two sentences, handed one of them to Daiyu next to him, and turned his head to ask her.

Daiyu glanced at it, didn't say anything, don't look over.

How good-looking, she is not rare.

Xiangyun was bored again, just snorted, turned around and congratulated Baochai, and then Tanchun and others also came around. Only then did Xiangyun find someone to speak, and the sisters chattered and laughed a few times.

Mother Jia next to her looked at Aunt Xue's eyes, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, Baoyu made the most trouble a few days ago, saying that she wanted to celebrate her sister's birthday with Bao, and she must be in time after moving into the garden."

Who knows, it's a person who only says but doesn't do it, and he hasn't come back yet. ”

Aunt Xue replied: "The old lady laughed, he is a gentleman's family, and he is on an errand in the palace, his business is important, and what is the value of the baby girl." ”

Wang Xifeng was open for a while, sat down and ate a few glasses of wine, and was waiting to speak, where was it not funny to hear this? I only heard her say in a loud voice:

"That's not what the ancestor said, three days ago, Brother Bao shouted to celebrate Bao Yatou's birthday, but what did he do? Even these tables of banquets and several classes of dramas were all sued by the central government for Zhang Luo!

If it weren't for the sake of the ancestor's face, I wouldn't help him, why would the benefits and reputation be taken up by him, and all the suffering and tiring work would be left to me? ”

Jia Mu scolded with a smile: "Oh, I wronged you by giving your sister a few tables of banquets?"

You have to be tired, next time I am serious, I will change someone else, your sister-in-law Zhu, sister-in-law Zhen and Rong's daughter-in-law, which one is not better than you?

How many times should I really use you, and you'll still be able to handle it? ”

Wang Xifeng suddenly made an expression that he couldn't say it reasonably, and he didn't dare to say it reasonably, which made everyone laugh.

"Second Master Bao is here."

I only heard the call of the maid outside, and everyone looked over.

Dressed in a light cyan light-grained brocade robe, with a blue jade and plum blossom dark buckle belt around her waist, and stepping on purple and green fairy deerskin boots, Jia Baoyu, who was slender and handsome, walked in.

His simple and elegant but noble dress, bright and unassuming, coupled with his handsome face with a gentle smile forever, only made everyone in front of the hall widen their eyes.

Better, they all love him like this to the bones.

Jia Baoyu walked over, seeing that everyone was in a daze, he glanced at the table and the stage again, and then said with a smile: "It seems that I haven't come late, and the banquet and small drama have not yet dispersed." ”

When he spoke, many people came back to their senses.

Jia Mu and the others made a few jokes about him, so they told him to hurry up and sit down, so as not to delay them watching the show......

Xiangyun jumped out and stopped Jia Baoyu before he was about to walk into the table.

"How are you doing?"

Jia Baoyu was condescending and looked at the little girl.

Xiangyun was not afraid of him, and craned his neck and said, "It was you who first said that you were going to celebrate Sister Bao's birthday, and you specially asked us to prepare gifts in advance!" Now we have all given gifts to Sister Bao, and even Niang Niang specially sent three things just now!

Second brother, what about the gift you prepared for Sister Bao? You're already late, and if you forget to prepare a gift, you won't be able to sit at the table today. ”

Xiangyun relied on Jia's mother's love and dared to question Jia Baoyu in public.

And Jia Mu and the others knew that his brother and sister were close, so they didn't care, just laughed to see how Jia Baoyu would deal with it.

For King Jia Mu and Mrs. Jia, watching the juniors play and joke is also a pleasant pastime.

Jia Baoyu said lightly: "You can't stop me." ”

When Xiangyun heard this, he thought that Jia Baoyu was going to play tricks, so he opened his arms and hugged him without thinking about it, in order not to let him run.

Her more real appearance also made everyone laugh.

Xiangyun didn't think about Zhou, that's why it's like this. At this time, seeing that Jia Mu and the others didn't care, she also made a mistake, and continued: "No, you can't get a gift today, and you must not be seated!" ”

Jia Baoyu sighed helplessly, then patted her head dotingly, signaling her to let go first.

Xiangyun obediently let go, but her expression was guarded, obviously she was not just joking, but really had to Jia Baoyu to take out something to pass the test.

And the people behind him were also smiling, and even Baochai looked at it with a little expectation.

In this way, Jia Baoyu said: "Okay, I really can't help you, you really didn't prepare a gift for Sister Bao?"

I just want to leave a suspense and surprise, besides, I just came, and you didn't let me eat first, the bigger it is, the less well-behaved it is. ”

Xiangyun's face turned red when he was said, but he still said: "As long as you take out the gift, no, Sister Bao will say yes, and then, it's a big deal that I will pour you wine in person." ”

Jia Baoyu smiled, gave her a determined look, and then turned around and nodded at the maid under the eaves. The girl understood, and immediately ran away.

In this way, let alone Xiangyun, even other people are surprised.

Tanchun asked, "Second brother, what kind of gift did you prepare for Sister Bao, and make it so mysterious?" ”

"You'll find out right away."

Jia Baoyu didn't pay attention to Xiangyun and had already sat down. Xiangyun knew that Jia Baoyu's gift was about to appear, so he didn't say anything more, just waited quietly.

Sure enough, after a while, I saw several big girls, led by the attacker, and they came over with a long thing, but because it was covered with red silk, they couldn't see what it was.

The attacker waited for the others to carry things to the front of the stairs and stood. Xiangyun suddenly couldn't help it, jumped down, and quietly lifted a corner to peek at the "careful" prompt of the attacker, and then everyone obviously saw that her eyes lit up.

Jia Mu smiled: "Since you have brought it all, don't sell it, and don't reveal it so that everyone can see what kind of gift you prepared for your sister Bao." ”

Jia Baoyu smiled and took a sip of wine, glanced back at Daiyu, and saw her staring intently, he thought about it, and said to Xiangyun with a smile: "Since you are so positive, I will satisfy you and let you unveil it." ”

"Hee-hee."

Xiangyun suddenly seemed to have a lot of color, and subconsciously rubbed his hands, and then pinched the silk on both sides with both hands, and slowly uncovered it, revealing a brand-new shiny xylophone inside.

"Wow, what a beautiful, clean ......"

The Sanchun sisters couldn't help but praise them, and then walked down one after another, standing beside Xiangyun and observing together. It's just that I don't dare to reach out and touch it, because it's so delicate and beautiful!

They were afraid that they would be broken if they were not careful.

A few of them surrounded them, blocking the sight of many people.

Wang Xifeng stood up directly, raised his neck and took a look, and said: "Why do you think it's rare, isn't it just an ordinary piano, it's also worth hiding and tucking!" ”

Jia Baoyu glanced at her, bent on picking the wrong person, no matter how good things were, they couldn't stop her.

Aunt Xue seemed to know the goods, she smiled: "Don't talk nonsense if you don't know, the shape of this piano is so smooth and natural, it is definitely not an out-of-town product."

And I see that its panel is also made of extremely high-quality paulownia wood, and the bottom plate seems to be made of purple sandalwood, as well as the warm jade inlaid on it, etc., the cost alone, I can't see it low.

Baoyu, where did you get this piano? It must have taken a lot of thought, it's hard for you to get these for your sister Bao. ”

"Auntie's good eyesight!"

Jia Baoyu slapped a sycophant, and then said with a smile: "Actually, it didn't take much effort, I just asked an old luthier in Beicheng called 'Thousand Jueqin' to make it according to the idea in my heart."

Originally, I started thinking about finding a famous qin, such as 'Luqi' and 'Jiaowei' and other guqins to give to Sister Bao as a gift.

Later, I really couldn't find it, so I thought about retreating and finding a famous piano from the previous dynasty or this dynasty. I inquired about it, but they were all collected by some old stubborn guys, and they refused to sell it to me!

Later, I went to take a look, and found that the so-called famous piano was nothing more than that, not to mention the old ones, and many of them had been filled......

So I thought, why don't you ask the master of the piano to build a new one, not to mention that it looks good, maybe after thousands of years, it can become a famous piano, right?

So, that's it. ”

When they heard this, they all laughed.

Jia Mu said angrily: "You don't have the ability to get those good ones, so you slander them, you are really a good person." ”

Mrs. Wang, Wang Xifeng and others let out a string of laughter.

Aunt Xue's focus is not on this.

The Xue family is in the musical instrument business, so she is so familiar with the materials used to build the piano.

She deeply knows that such a unique and delicate piano is the most skilled and clever old luthier, and it will take at least half a month to make one!

In other words, Jia Baoyu started to prepare for this matter at least half a month ago, which ......

She couldn't help but glance at her daughter, and when she saw her eyes staring at the piano at the bottom of the stairs, her expression was confused, and she knew that her daughter was thinking more than her.

She was a little worried. If it goes on like this, my daughter is afraid that her whole heart will sink into it.

For the first time, Aunt Xue felt that her nephew was too good, and it was also a trouble, and he wanted to seduce her daughter's heart!

P: Thank you for the love of the alliance leader, there is nothing to repay, only to add more.

(The original standard was that 10,000 rewards would be added to one more, so that the alliance leader would be ten more......

This is really a happy sorrow.

I thought about raising the standard, but then I thought: If no one rewards in the future, wouldn't it be embarrassing to do so?

So, ten more will be ten more, owe it first, and pay it back slowly. The other bigwigs who have a reward are also owed, and they are slowly repaying ...... ）
