Chapter 355: Joy and Surprise
As mentioned earlier, Xue Pan led Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai to the back house and met Aunt Xue and her mother-in-law Wang.
After this mutual salute, others also arrived, and the Wang family was 'clean' in the back house for a long time, and when he saw Baoyu such a white, tender and handsome little Langjun, he couldn't help but commit dementia again.
Regardless of the presence of his own man, he stared at Baoyu up and down intently, and his two legs couldn't be closed.
Even if Xue Pan was annoyed, he dragged the Wang family into the room regardless of it, and after a while, he listened to the smashing of the smashing, and there was the scolding of the husband and wife in the middle:
"Stinky woman, it's Lao Tzu's birthday today, and you dare to scratch my face!"
"Phew~! Your ugly face doesn't look like a person, so it's better to tear it up and pull it down! β
"Sassy hooves, I have to let you know how powerful you are today!"
"Oops~! You thief is so ruthless, I ...... I'll fight with you today! β
Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai were outside, only listening to each other, and had the heart to go in to persuade and persuade, but Aunt Xue was actually the old god, pulling the two of them to ask for warmth, and they didn't care at all.
"Brother and sister-in-law ......"
"Leave them alone."
Aunt Xue said angrily: "Those two are crazy people, the more people persuade them, the more they don't stop, and let them make trouble by themselves, and wait until they ......."
Speaking of halfway through, Aunt Xue suddenly stopped talking, got up anxiously and urged: "Baoyu, your brother Xue won't be able to get out for a while, it's better for you to go to the front for him firstβhurry up, don't let people say that our family won't be hospitable!" β
Saying that, he pushed and shoved Jia Baoyu out of the door.
Although Baoyu wondered why his aunt was in such a hurry, as a cousin, it was also his duty to entertain friends for Xue Pan, so he didn't delve into it, but just went straight to the front hall.
Aunt Xue saw Baoyu go away, and as soon as she breathed a sigh of relief, she saw Baochai coming out of the house with a red face, shaking her handkerchief and saying angrily: "Mom doesn't care about it, what does this look like?" I...... I'll go back to my house first! β
When Aunt Xue saw her daughter like this, why didn't she know that it had already hit the end of the bed from the head of the bed?
While secretly scolding these two enemies, it was really the demon king in his life, but on the other hand, he was busy calling his mother-in-law and went to Xue Pan's house to get a change of clothes.
For fear of being indiscriminately bumped into this ridiculous thing, she didn't dare to leave the left and right easily, so she didn't listen to it at the door, and she got used to having **** ears......
Not to mention how the husband and wife fought viciously in Aunt Xue's house.
But he said that Jia Baoyu arrived at the front, and when he saw all the brothers, he was naturally smiling, and he laughed with Feng Ziying, snatched his stick-like incense, and agreed with Liu Xianglian to have one for each person, just waiting for Xue Pan to arrive, and then lit firecrackers lively.
Sun Shaozong saw that they were elated, and hurriedly reminded them: "When you light firecrackers later, remember to lead the two baby elephants to the backyard first, otherwise if you are startled, it will not be a joke." β
The others just responded indiscriminately, but Baoyu, as half of the master, did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly called the mahout outside, and ordered the two baby elephants to be led to the backyard.
When he returned to the living room again, everyone was talking about setting up a stage to sing "Sun Gong's Case" in the Prison Temple on May 15, and when they heard that Liu Xianglian was going to play in the play, Baoyu was envious.
It's just that he also knew that he didn't have much singing skills at all, so he didn't dare to show his ugliness in front of others, so he begged Jiang Yuhan to take time in the future to help the opera troupe of Rongguofu also rehearse and rehearse, and then he would close the door and have a good time.
Jiang Yuhan has always been the most kind to Baoyu, so how could he refute his face, without waiting for him to ask for a few words, he hurriedly responded.
was laughing here, Xue Pan finally rushed over from the backyard, made a circle when he entered the door, and still accused him of sin, so he embedded his butt in the main seat, and poured the teapot into his mouth in a hurry.
After pouring half a pot, he spit out a mouthful of turbid breath and said with a grin: "Grandma's, I just rushed over all the way, and I almost didn't die of thirst!" β
Liu Xianglian laughed and scolded on the side: "What are you doing behind this bastard?" How did you make the big guy wait for so long and still look embarrassed? β
Xue Pan didn't hide it, first told him about the fight with the Wang family, and then pointed to the scratches on his face that had not receded, and said proudly: "That mother-in-law was scratching and scratching with me at the beginning, and I was stabbed by me regardless of it, so I called 'pro-man' and 'good brother' endlessly, and I was still reluctant to give up when I came out!" β
Except for Baoyu is first time hearing about it, everyone knew the quirks of his husband and wife, so they all laughed together, and Feng Ziying said urgently: "In this way, it's not that you've been delayed for a long time, but it's faster." β
Everyone laughed again, Xue Pan scolded Feng Ziying twice, and he laughed out loud.
Liu Xianglian usually likes to be lively, and when she saw that the birthday star had arrived, she urged to light the 200,000 firecrackers.
Baoyu, Xue Pan, and Feng Ziying also joined in, so the group of six people left the Xue Mansion again.
When he arrived at the gate, Xue Pan first said 'huh' and said strangely: "Where did the two elephants I raised go?" β
Baoyu hurriedly explained: "The second brother was worried that he would startle them when he set off the firecrackers, so I asked the mahouts to lead them to the back first. β
"Oh."
Xue Pan put his mind at ease, and said proudly: "I have had people trained for more than half a month, and it is not easy for them to learn a new skill, and they will be indispensable when the banquet is held later." β
Feng Ziying and Liu Xianglian both asked what the 'new ability' was, but he only sold it vigorously.
When I arrived outside the gate, I saw more than a dozen family members sweating profusely under the poisonous sun in order to spread out those firecrackers.
When Xue Pan saw it, he scolded dissatisfiedly: "Special mother, it's just on weekdays, Lao Tzu has a birthday today, how dare you grind here, really when there is no family law in our house?" β
As he spoke, he who blew his beard and glared at him was about to call someone to invite the 'family law', and the servants who were bluffing fell to their knees.
"It's a good day, you don't want to stop it."
Sun Shaozong helplessly stretched out his hand to hold him down, and persuaded: "Although the firecrackers on Lao Feng's car are not entangled in a dead knot, how can it be so easy for this old man to spread them completely?" β
Hearing that the second brother opened his mouth, Xue Pan held back his temperament, and only stared at the copper bell with eyes that were also on the steps to supervise the work.
Seeing this, the servants below got up again and tried their best to speed up the progress.
But it took another half an hour for the firecracker to completely unfold along the south wall - I saw that from east to west, it was enough to be more than forty zhang long!
Baoyu and Liu Xianglian lit the fire cap on the top of the incense candle, and ran to both ends of the east and west like torches, greeted each other with their throats, and lit the fuse together.
Boom Rumble......
The 200,000 rings of 'dry land thunder' are much more powerful than the red earth of later generations, and the rumbling movement is endless, as if there is rolling thunder on the ground.
It's just that......
The smoke and dust raised were also extremely powerful, and at the beginning, Sun Shaozong and others were still watching at the door, but gradually they couldn't stand on their feet, so they had to retreat into the courtyard.
Seeing that the smoke was rising up, covering most of Zijin Street, even Feng Ziying, the initiator, couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly - fortunately, before setting off firecrackers this year, he had to say hello to the nearby patrolmen in advance, otherwise he would definitely be misunderstood for a fire.
When the firecrackers were finally finished, everyone's ears were buzzing, and they were rubbing their ears and grinning into the living room, when they suddenly saw two mothers-in-law running over as if they were flying, and they opened their mouths to shout something from a distance.
The crowd couldn't hear clearly, but when they got closer, they carefully identified them, and finally understood what they were shouting: "But it's amazing, the two elephants in the backyard are going on a rampage like crazy, and even the mahoutman has broken his arm by them!" β
"Now the wife, grandmother, and girl are all blocked in the house, and I am afraid that they will break in!"
When everyone heard this, they were shocked.
Xue Pan stomped his feet even more anxiously and said: "Special mother, this is so far away, how can you still be surprised by firecrackers?" Could it be that those two elephants have cultivated clairvoyance, and they can't afford it?! β
Feng Ziying on the side was full of embarrassment, and was about to take over the responsibility, but she heard the woman shake her head and say: "It's not that I was shocked by the firecrackers, it's the pug raised by my wife, who went up and barked a few times - who would have thought that such a big guy would be frightened by the barking of the dog!" β
