Chapter 117: Crab Feast
Seeing August, since Feng Yunying went back from playing in Rongguo Mansion that day, she sent a post to the girls in Jiafu the next day, inviting them to play the next day, and after coming back, Jia Zheng was actually ordered to learn politics and was scheduled to get up on August 20. On that day, after worshipping the ancestral hall and Jia's mother, he got up, Baoyu's injuries were also healed, and when he returned after sending his father, he followed the horse that had taken off the reins, and no one cared about him.
On this day, Daiyu had breakfast at the old lady's side, and was holding tea to drink, Baoyu came over and came to her, "Sister Lin, I just hate that I couldn't move a while ago, and I missed the Feng family's poem, and now I'm very good, when will we open another club?" ”
Daiyu put down the teacup, "Second Brother Bao, you are a man, the girls from the Feng and Wu families said that you are a foreign man, and they never invited you to the poetry club, and they also got those two girls together to compose poems." ”
Baoyu was inevitably a little gloomy, "Then it's just our family's invitation to a club?" On that day, because I was not here, I was asked to say that I was going to set a club day, and when the day came, no matter the wind or rain, I wanted to open a club, which was a long-term practice. ”
Xiangyun is now living with Baochai, the two of them came in together, and after greeting the old lady, they came over and said, "Yesterday I also told Sister Bao that I want to return your seat, since Brother Baoyu has this Yaxing, let's choose a day to hit the day, just tomorrow, in the garden, I invite a club!" ”
said, and nodded at Daiyu, "Tomorrow, if you want to break your head, you have to think of a song, it's really not good, so it's okay to ask the ancients to help." ”
"I haven't heard of anyone who can ask the ancients to help, Sister Yun, you have to tell an allusion!"
"For example, the ancients made 'Goose Goose Goose, Song to the Sky', and Sister Lin can do 'Chicken Cock Chicken, Neck Facing the Sky Song'!" As she spoke, she was already laughing so much that she couldn't even straighten her waist, and Baochai next to her couldn't help laughing, don't turn her head to talk to Xifeng, Baoyu was afraid that Daiyu would be angry, so she pulled Xiangyun aside.
Later, when she returned to the Jinlou, Daiyu wanted to fall asleep, and while unloading the hairpin ring for her, she said, "Why didn't the girl smack that big girl fiercely?" Looking at the innocence, in fact, a mouth is really unforgiving, it can be seen how important it is to be in front of parents, to say, those who are more particular, would rather marry a girl who has no father and must not be missing a mother! ”
Daiyu sighed, "As soon as she came without parents, I looked pitiful, so I would be humble everywhere, just like you said, no one mentioned it, but was used, this is sad." Second, when I wasn't here in the past, my current position is hers, the old lady is spoiled, and the second master Bao is protected, she must be used to it, and she felt that I was here and robbed her. ”
"Can this be compared? The girl is the granddaughter of the old lady's in-laws, how far has she been? According to the slave maid, she is an idiot, and I don't know what kind of family the Wei family is, but she is willing to marry her family, the slave maid heard that now the Marquis of Zhongjing is not comparable to before, and the family has long shown signs of defeat, and she has to be a thing at every turn, and she has to move money, how can she compare with the girl? ”
On the second day, the garden was arranged, and Xiangyun went to ask the old lady to enjoy the osmanthus flowers. At noon, everyone was all together, and it was placed in the pavilion of the lotus root champs, and at the railing, two bamboo tables were placed, one was set up with cups and spoons and wine utensils, and the other was set up with tea whisks and tea cups of various colors. Two or three girls fanned the stove to make tea, and a few girls on the other side also fanned the stove to burn wine.
When the old lady saw it, she boasted, "Well thought!" Xiangyun hurriedly answered, "Sister Bao helped me settle it!" The old lady inevitably said to Aunt Xue, "I always say that this child is meticulous and thoughtful, my Yu'er never thought of this, she is more useful than me on weekdays!" ”
For a while, when I entered the pavilion, there were two tables set up in it, and they were actually eating crabs. At the top table, Mother Jia, Aunt Xue, Baochai, Daiyu, Baoyu; A table in the east, Shi Xiangyun, Mrs. Wang, welcome, explore, and pity; There is a table near the door on the west side, Li Kun and Sister Feng's have a false seat, and neither of them dares to sit, so they only serve at the two tables of Mrs. Jia Muwang.
Seeing the crab, others were okay, Daiyu was already drooling first, urging her maid to peel her. Xifeng asked for water to wash her hands, peeled the crab meat, let Jia Mu and Aunt Xue for the first time, and let Daiyu for the next time, she ate it in one bite, and took the wine in front of her to feed Xifeng, "It's hard for my good sister to feel sorry, come, drink this wine, I will also ask my maid to peel a crab roe meat for you." ”
"Okay, you Lin girl, I let the old lady and aunt, and I am reluctant to eat me, you are good, take one bite and give you a beautiful place!" As he spoke, he was about to pinch Daiyu with his crab paste hand.
Daiyu wanted to hide from the old lady, and said with a smile, "I also saw that you let several people, and they didn't eat you, I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to think about it, so I rewarded you with this face, you are good, not only are you not grateful to me, but you also provoked it, I really don't know what to do!" ”
Xifeng was so happy that she couldn't straighten her waist and pointed at Daiyu, "Listen, listen, it's really the old lady's lineage, and now I'm really curious about my aunt, how did you give birth to something like you?" ”
The two of them were so lively that everyone laughed. Over there, Shi Xiangyun was still in Zhang Luo, on the one hand, he asked someone to bring two plates to Aunt Zhou and Aunt Zhao, and on the other hand, he wanted to make Xifeng and Li Kun very busy. Daiyu sat down, and the maids fed her enough to eat two, Li Mi didn't let it, and asked Daiyu to bring hot wine to eat, "It's cold, it's really unbearable, it's uncomfortable to be careful, and I'm going to cry when I turn around!" ”
Daiyu had no choice but to give up, because her hands were somewhat fishy and she didn't like it, so she asked Qianxue to take the mung bean noodles smoked from the chrysanthemum leaves and osmanthus stamens, and served her to wash her hands. Seeing that Xifeng and the mandarin ducks were in trouble again, she took a cup of tea and leaned on the pavilion pillar, watching their liveliness while drinking tea, and saw that Ping'er wiped a yellow crab to wipe the mandarin ducks, but wiped Xifeng's face, and couldn't help laughing, and pointed, "It's really ruined, I can't eat it, so you guys are so bad!" ”
Xifeng was annoyed and didn't laugh either, took the crab in Ping'er's hand, and pointed at Daiyu, "Come, come here, obediently, I'll feed you!" ”
The old lady also ate a little crab roe, and she didn't dare to eat more when she was older. After eating, Mrs. Wang thought it was windy and was afraid that she would not be able to stand the crabs, so she asked the old lady to go back to the house. Xiangyun asked someone to re-put together the table and chairs, replaced the big round table, and re-loaded the hot crabs, and invited the attackers, chess, waiters, paintings, Ying'er, Cuimo and Qingxu to eat, and Qingxu sat down slightly, and still returned to Daiyu's side to listen to the call.
Let's look at Xiangyun, took a large piece of paper, and put it on the wall with a needle, everyone went to see it, because Daiyu knew what it was, so she didn't go, and sure enough, I heard them say, "The novelty is novel, but I'm afraid I can't do it!" Xiangyun said that there is no limit to rhyme, and Baoyu said busily, "Unlimited rhyme is good, I am the most impatient with rhyme." ”
