Shi Xiangyun lived in Jiafu for a few days, and then was about to go back, Jia's mother said: "Two days will be your sister's birthday, we also said yesterday, she is fifteen years old this year, although it is not a full birthday, it can be regarded as the year of the end." I'm going to make her birthday, and you'll go back after watching the play. ”

Shi Xiangyun had to agree, but he was a little embarrassed in his heart. She didn't bring anything to send out this time, Baochai's birthday this time is not big or small, what should I give away? Usually the sisters in the family celebrate their birthdays, but they just send some hand-made needlework, but this time it's the same, will it be a little too light? But she couldn't get it if it was too valuable. Or pick the small screen that she did for half a month last time?

Not only Shi Xiangyun was struggling with the matter of gift-giving, but the maids in Qianyun Xuan were also discussing the matter.

Baochai and Qianyunxuan have always been familiar with each other, and she is generous, and everyone has benefited a lot from her, so they have no objection to giving her gifts and congratulations together. It's just that there are differences of opinion on what exactly to send.

The attacker has the most good impression of the stable and generous Baochai, and is willing to think more about it, "Birthday gifts are mostly to send some needlework, clothing, and playthings, so why should we send something different." It is not in vain that Miss Fei Bao takes care of us on weekdays. ”

Qingwen was unwilling, "The needlework is also painstakingly made, why can't it?" "She had planned to give this away, and besides, she didn't think Miss Bao was so special to them, wasn't she just as considerate to anyone.

Jiang Yan said roundly: "Miss Bao's birthday is approaching, I didn't say that I wanted to do a big deal, and I couldn't prepare anything special in a hurry, so it is better for everyone to take out all the needles and threads they have on hand, and each pick one to make a set, which can be regarded as different from others." ”

After they coordinated the gifts, Xue Baochai's birthday finally arrived.

Everyone got up early in the morning, and Baoyu rarely got up early, so she went to Daiyu's house to find her after washing up.

The maids were discussing today's birthday banquet in the house, and Bi Jin had already gone to the front to investigate, "The old lady has already started to set up a stage in the courtyard, and I heard that a new class of small dramas has been ordered, and Kunyi has both voices." It just so happens that I love to hear both. ”

Jiang Yan smiled: "What kind of drama do you not like to listen to?" ”

Bichen said: "There is also a preference, I don't like it very much." It's a pity that I heard that Miss Bao also loves lively dramas, and it is estimated that there are many such dramas today. One or two games are enough, and my head hurts. ”

Musk Yue patted her, "Some of them are good to listen to, they are just touching the light of others, and you are still picky." Besides, Miss Bao's words were just for the old lady, so that her old man was happy and happy, which girl's family likes to be lively. ”

Bijin sighed, "Miss Bao has always been considerate and thoughtful, there are old ladies and women here, even if she doesn't love it, it must be like this." ”

Jiang Yan was not interested in the play, and instead talked to Qingwen about the guests who came today, and the Xue family also had several relatives in Beijing, such as the Wang Ziteng family, and I don't know if they sent someone to congratulate them.

Qingwen said: "A few days ago, when everyone gave gifts, I seemed to hear that her uncle's family sent someone, but there will be no one today, after all, it is the old lady who is the host, and it is not their own banquet." ”

Sure enough, on this day, Jia's mother lined up a few family banquets in the room, and there was no outsider, so everyone became more and more comfortable and casual. The maids didn't have to care about the restraints of the guests' actions, except for the attackers who followed Baoyu, everyone else ran to the verandah to watch the play.

Today is Baochai's birthday, Jia's mother must order her first, Baochai couldn't refuse, so she had to order a fold", Jiang Yan heard Bi Jin whispering next to her, "It's this again, I haven't seen enough of it during the New Year." ”

When the performance of "Lu Zhishen Drunk and Troublesome in Wutai Mountain" ordered by Baochai at the banquet began, Bijin looked at the monk and almost sighed, "What is so beautiful about this ugly monk, why can't you sing "Garden" and "Dream". ”

Jiang Yan said: "Where is it ugly, it looks quite cute." ”

Because it is a performance in the inner courtyard, the little actors are only about ten years old, sticking their beards and making them look like adults, where will it be annoying, she just doesn't like this play.

When Xiao Dan came on the field, Bi Jin was stunned for a moment, leaned into Jiang Yan's ear and said almost inaudibly, "Is this Xiao Dan a little familiar?" ”

Jiang Yan was originally in a daze, but when she heard her words and looked at the stage, Xiao Dan, who was throwing her sleeves, turned her face sideways, and her eyebrows and eyes looked a little like Lin Daiyu. Jiang Yan was also stunned, she thought it looked like one of the twelve female dramas in Lixiangyuan, and she wondered why she didn't see anyone at first, but she didn't expect that she remembered it wrong, it turned out to be here. Then tonight will be the day when the three of them are angry.

After everyone ordered the drama and singing, it was time to disperse, and as usual, the troupe was to be rewarded, Jiang Yan had already seen Amber take someone down and carry a basket of copper coins.

Jia's mother likes to be a little Dan and a clown, so she ordered someone to bring it in, and when she watched it on the stage, she felt that she was small, and it was even more pitiful when she looked closer. When asked about the age again, Xiao Dan was only eleven years old, and the clown was only nine years old, and everyone couldn't help but sigh. Jia Mu asked him to take some flesh and fruit with him, and rewarded him with two more strings.

Wang Xifeng saw that the atmosphere was a little unsuitable for this festive day, so he pointed at Xiao Dan and said with a smile: "This child is dressed like a person, you can't see it anymore." ”

As soon as this Xiaodan came out, Baochai felt that it came out, and when he heard Wang Xifeng's words, he was afraid that Daiyu would feel uncomfortable, so he only smiled and refused to say. Baoyu is most familiar with Lin Daiyu, and she can't see it, but she guessed it, and she didn't dare to say that Sister Lin didn't like others to talk about her. Only Shi Xiangyun didn't think about it so much, and then she said with a smile: "It's like Sister Lin." ”

Jiang Yan looked at Lin Daiyu when Wang Xifeng asked, she could naturally find out who was similar to her, it didn't matter at first, even Shi Xiangyun's face was fine when he spoke, but his face changed when Baoyu glanced at Shi Xiangyun.

It's just that at this time, everyone listened to Shi Xiangyun's words, and they all looked carefully, and laughed at this time, saying that it was really good, the atmosphere was just right, Lin Daiyu was unhappy, and she could only endure it.

In the evening, Baoyu sent the two girls back, Shi Xiangyun endured it in front of Jia's mother, and as soon as he returned to the house, he told Cui Wei to pack up her things and prepare to go back early tomorrow morning, "It's also a saving to look at other people's eyes here!" ”

Hearing this, Baoyu hurriedly stepped forward and pulled her to defend herself, "I was just afraid that you would offend Sister Lin, so I gave you a look." I had a good heart. ”

Shi Xiangyun was even more angry, shook off his hand and said, "I'm not as good as your sister Lin!" She is the master of the young lady, I am a slave girl, I offended him, I can't help it! ”
