Xue Pan gave Baochai a look, just thinking of Baochai and what he said in the past, Xiangyun's family realm, this is so easy to do in the east? What's more, Baochai said this, to invite the old lady and others to eat wine and crabs to appreciate chrysanthemums, and it is okay to enjoy chrysanthemums, but this drinking and eating crabs still costs a lot, so the day before got Baochai's statement, Xue Pan ordered Mama Wang to go out and order the good crabs prepared by the shopkeeper to bring in, and ordered Wu Gui to enter the garden today, carefully serve today's banquet, and asked the girl to go to Lin Zhixiao's house to explain that today's banquet is invited, so it is necessary to call someone to come in and cook. It's not that you have to be taboo, it's just that it's always good to say hello in everything.

On the second day, Xue Pan came out of the house first, and went to Lixiangyuan to see the crabs, sure enough, the baskets of crabs with golden claws and silver hooks, the back was iron blue, the double pincers were huge, the stomach was snow-white, all of them were bigger than ordinary people's palms, and they kept spitting foam in the basket, which was indeed an excellent crab, Xue Pan nodded with satisfaction, and thought of something, "Send a few baskets to my uncle too, by the way, and Mr. Wang, send a few to him when steamed." ”

The rest of the wine and fruits are also ordinary, but there is no need to look at it anymore, Xue Pan is ready here, and then he sent someone to tell Baochai, and Xiangyun asked Jia Mu and others to enjoy the osmanthus flowers. Jia Mu and the others all said: "But he is interested, and he needs to disturb his Yaxing." "At noon, sure enough, Mother Jia brought Mrs. Wang, Sister Feng, and both

Please Aunt Xue and others come to the garden. Jia Muyin asked, "Which place is good?" Mrs. Wang said: "With the old lady's love in that place, it is in that place." Sister Feng said: "The lotus lotus pavilion has been laid down." The two osmanthus trees under the hillside bloom well, and the water in the river is clear, sitting on the pavilion in the middle of the river, isn't it bright? Look at the water, and your eyes are clear. Jia Mu listened and said, "Very good." As he spoke, he led everyone to the Lotus Champs. Originally, this lotus root Champs was covered in the pool, there were windows on all sides, there were corridors on the left and right, and it was also across the water to meet the peak, and there was a zigzag bridge behind it. Everyone got on the bamboo bridge, and Sister Feng hurriedly came up to hold Jia's mother, and said: "The ancestor just strides and walks, it is irrelevant, the rules of this bamboo bridge are squeaky and squeaky." ”

Mother Jia has long said that there is no need to come to greet today, so everyone is waiting at this lotus root Champs, and when they saw Mother Jia come in, they saluted one after another, Mother Jia saw Baoyu and Xue Pan like Yushu Zhilan, Baoyu is gentle, Xue Pan is a little heroic, and there are so many granddaughters like spring flowers and autumn moons, each good at it, through this clear water and chrysanthemums, it is even more energetic, Mother Jia smiled at Aunt Xue, "Mrs. Auntie, look at it, these young people are standing together, they are different, this garden is full of people, It's better than those chrysanthemums outside! ”

Aunt Xue nodded and said with a smile, "It's all trained by the old lady, and this is naturally different when you live in the courtyard." ”

"Auntie, the brothers and sisters in your family are also good, especially the treasure girl, dignified and generous," Jia Mu smiled, "It's too late for me to feel distressed!" ”

When I entered the pavilion, I saw two bamboo cases outside the railing, one with cups and spoons and wine utensils, and the other with tea whisks and tea sets of various colors. There are two or three girls fanning the stove to make tea, and a few other girls here are also fanning the stove to burn wine. Jia Mu asked with a smile: "This tea is very good, and everything in the place is clean." Xiangyun smiled: "This is what Sister Bao helped me prepare." Jia Mu said: "What did I just say!" Let's just say that the child is meticulous and thinks everything properly. While speaking, he saw the pair of ink paint inlaid mussels hanging on the pillar, and ordered Xiangyun to read:

Hibiscus Shadow Breaks the Blue Paddle,

Water chestnut lotus deep laxative bamboo bridge.

When Mother Jia heard this, she looked up at the plaque again, and turned back to Aunt Xue and said, "When I was young, there was also such a pavilion at home, called What Pillow Xia Pavilion." At that time, I was only as old as his sisters, and I played with a few people every day. Who knew that day he suddenly lost his foot and fell, almost not drowning, and finally rescued him, and finally caused the wooden nail to break his head. Now the big pit on the top of the finger on the sideburns was broken by the one. Everyone was afraid that they would pass through the water and the wind, and they were afraid that they would not survive, but who knew that they would be better. Sister Feng didn't wait for anyone to say, and smiled first: "At that time, I couldn't live, who can enjoy such a great blessing now?" It can be known that the ancestors have been blessed with longevity since childhood, and the gods sent ghosts to come out of that pit, so prosperous and longevity. There was a pit on the head of the birthday star, because Wanfu Wanshou was full, so it was protruding. Before she could finish speaking, Jia Mu and everyone laughed softly. Jia Mu smiled: "This monkey is used to it, take me and make fun of it!" I hate to tear your flammy mouth. Sister Feng said: "When I come back to eat crabs, I am afraid that I will be cold in my heart, and I will make my ancestors smile, even if I am happy to eat two more, it doesn't hurt." Jia Mu smiled: "Tomorrow I will ask you to follow me during the day, I will always smile and smile, and you will not be allowed to go back to the house." Mrs. Wang smiled: "The old lady is used to being like this because she likes him, and when she says this, he is becoming more and more ignorant of Ming'er." Jia Mu smiled: "I like him like this, and besides, he is not the child who really doesn't know how high or low." There is no one at home, and the girls should be talking and laughing, and the horizontal and vertical gifts are good. No, let's call them what to do! ”

Mrs. Xing smiled slightly, but did not speak, everyone entered the pavilion, offered tea, and Sister Feng hurriedly placed the cups and chopsticks. At the top table, Mother Jia, Aunt Xue, Baochai, Daiyu, Baoyu; A table in the east, Xiangyun, Mrs. Wang, Xue Pan, Ying, Tan, and Xi; There was a small table near the door on the west side, Li Kun and Sister Feng had a false seat, and neither of them dared to sit, so they only served at the two tables of Mrs. Jia Muwang.

Sister Feng is serving Jia's mother, Li Kun is waiting for Mrs. Wang to sit, Li Kun broke a full yellow one, first removed the crab meat, crab roe, etc. and presented it to Mrs. Wang, and the second one was dedicated to Xue Pan, Xue Pan waved his hand, "Don't dare to bother my sister-in-law, I peel the crab myself, and the food is sweet." ”

Xue Pan has always loved crabs, although Mrs. Wang is on the side, she doesn't dare to be very public, but when she enters the pavilion and smells the fragrance of real crabs, she can't bear it for a long time.

Li Kun poured wine for everyone again, eating crabs to be aged Huadiao is the best, it is already warm and suitable for the mouth, Li Kun said to Mrs. Wang, "Madam, you can taste it, this wine is hot with plum and ginger silk, and the entrance is not spicy." ”

Mrs. Wang nodded, "You don't have to stand here with me, just go outside and eat by yourself." ”
