Chapter 227: Lantern Riddles
The next morning, Jiang Yan woke up and secretly screamed badly, although she didn't open the window, she could see that it was already bright outside. She thought she was getting up late, so she hurriedly got out of bed and pushed Qingwen next to her, "Hurry up, why are we both late today?" ”
Jia Baoyu talked about going to enjoy the snow all night yesterday, and with his temperament that can't hide things, he must have gotten up a long time ago.
Jiang Yan dressed neatly and combed her hair, pushed the door and prepared to go out to fetch hot water, only to find that it was not daylight, but it was snowing overnight, more than a foot thick, and now the snowflakes in the sky are still fluttering like catkins.
Although Jiang Yan said yesterday that she wanted to enjoy the snow, she was just looking for an excuse to go out and play, there has not been much snow in the capital in the past two years, and yesterday's snow beads were the limit in previous years, but this year it really snowed heavily!
She immediately ran into the house and pulled Qingwen, who was still lying on the bed and dressed, "Look outside!" Today we really can have a good time in the snow! ”
The snow outside was dazzling, of course Qingwen also saw it, she hadn't seen heavy snow in the past few years, she was also a little excited for a while, and even the speed of getting dressed accelerated.
As soon as the two of them stepped out of the room, before they had time to take a good look at Yihong Courtyard in the snow, they heard a movement from Jia Baoyu's side, and they heard that he was calling someone to go over and serve him to get up.
Jiang Yan looked at the pocket watch before and knew that she didn't get up late, this was not Jia Baoyu's time to get up, thinking that he should not have slept well all night, so he thought about getting up early today to enjoy the snow and compose poems.
Although Jiang Yan rarely waits for Jia Baoyu to get up and dress, she can't be regarded as not hearing when she hears it. Besides, Qingwen had already dragged her over there at this time.
When Jiang Yan and the two entered the house, the attacker got up from the couch outside, and Jia Baoyu was already standing in the room in single clothes, but fortunately, a brazier had been lit in the house, otherwise he would definitely be frostbitten.
When Jia Baoyu saw them come in, she immediately asked the attacker to stop getting up, and it was not too late for her to get up again when she got up in the past. He got up early today, which made the maids uncomfortable.
Qingwen hurriedly brought the leather jacket and gown from the hanger and served him to put them on. Jia Baoyu stretched out his hand to get dressed, and said to Jiang Yan: "Danyu, you go and take out my set of jade needles, golden rattan hats, and sand tang sandals, and I just want to wear them when it snows today." Hurry up, I'm going to Luxue-an soon. ”
Although Jia Baoyu ordered, the attacker was not the one who could watch the master busy resting by herself, she also quickly dressed and came over to help Jia Baoyu tie her belt.
When he heard this, he asked, "What are you doing in such a hurry?" The girls may not have gotten up yet. ”
Jia Baoyu said: "This snow is rare, I have to go out to enjoy it first." ”
After that, he took a set of snow equipment brought by Jiang Yan and walked out alone.
The attacker hurriedly said: "Why don't you bring some people to follow!" What if I slip and fall all the way?! ”
Jiang Yan and Qingwen glanced at each other, at this time, the two of them packed up, what else could they do?
Jiang Yan picked up the umbrella and said to the attacker: "I'll follow first, and you will let the little girl and her mother-in-law go to Luxue Nunnery to find someone." ”
Fortunately, she thought about going out to play today, so she changed into a pair of thick-soled boots, otherwise those thin-soled shoes on weekdays would really be enough to choke on this snowy day.
When Jiang Yan found Jia Baoyu, he was standing in front of the Lucui Nunnery admiring the dozen or so red plums that looked extraordinarily energetic in the snow.
She walked over and fetched him an umbrella, and although he didn't need it, he had to make a show.
Jia Baoyu found that there was a person standing beside him, and when he saw that it was Jiang Yan, he smiled and said, "It was the attacker who asked you to come out, right?" She just loves to worry about what I can do if I walk around the garden. ”
He can say that he is attacking people, but Jiang Yan can't, he only smiled and said, "It's also that the snow is too big today, but it's not like this on weekdays." ”
Jia Baoyu saw that this red plum blossom was really spiritual, and he wanted to break a branch and bring it to everyone to appreciate, but it was still early, and he didn't want to disturb Miaoyu, so he planned to talk about it later.
Jia Baoyu rewarded the plum blossoms, and then continued to walk towards Luxue Nunnery, who knew that the girls really didn't come, and there were only a few maids and women who swept the snow in a huge yard.
Jia Baoyu suddenly felt disappointed, so he could only go back again, preparing to go to Jia's mother for breakfast first.
Jiang Yan followed him back and forth like this, but she didn't eat breakfast! Fortunately, she knew all the people in Rongqingtang, and when Jia Baoyu and Xue Baoqin were talking, she quietly slipped out and rubbed Lu Aya and them for a meal.
Jia Baoyu's heart was not on eating, and finally waited for everyone to gather, so he shouted that he was hungry and urged the meal, and when he started to set the meal, he couldn't even wait for the dishes to be served, so he only took tea to make a bowl of rice, and hurriedly took two bites of pheasant and melon.
Seeing that he was in such a hurry, the others couldn't help but speed up their meals, which were much faster than their usual meals.
Jia Mu knew that he was anxious, so she didn't stay long, and let them play by themselves after eating.
When Jia Baoyu was waiting next to him after eating, he heard that there was venison today, so he was asked for a piece by Shi Xiangyun and sent it to the garden. At this time, as soon as he heard that Jia Mu was gone, he immediately went with her to discuss what to do with the piece of venison.
Jiang Yan followed them to Luxue Nunnery again, but fortunately, at this time, the little maid Shen'er and Mother Song had already come over, so Jiang Yan asked them to watch some Jia Baoyu and go into the house to warm up.
By the time everyone arrived at Luxue Nunnery, Jia Baoyu had already instructed the mothers-in-law to bring iron stoves, iron forks, and barbed wire, and prepare to barbecue meat to eat.
This is really not what everyone should do for sons and girls, the new Li family sisters, Xing Xiuyan, and Xue Baoqin all felt strange, but seeing Lin Daiyu and the others were accustomed to it, they couldn't say anything.
Li Kun sent someone to invite Wang Xifeng before, but she was busy with the issue of the annual ceremony, so she sent Ping'er to reply that she couldn't come.
Shi Xiangyun saw Ping'er and immediately pulled her to let her eat roast venison together.
Ping'er has never eaten like this usually, and when she saw that she was interesting, she was willing to play together, but she had a lot of bracelets on her hands, which was not very convenient, so she took off the bracelets on her hands, and the three of them surrounded the stove and burned three pieces to eat first.
Soon the fragrance came out, this venison was marinated in advance, Jia Baoyu and the others just roasted it with their hands, as long as they were careful not to burn it, it would be difficult to eat it.
Tanchun, who was originally discussing the rhyme of today's poem topic in the house, couldn't help but be attracted, and as soon as he discussed it with Li Kun, he ran out to find them.
Only Lin Daiyu was weak and couldn't eat this, the others more or less tasted a few bites, and Jiang Yan also ate a few pieces.
Wang Xifeng came over after finishing the things over there, and what he saw was that everyone was eating barbecue together, and immediately joined in.
Everyone had just had breakfast, but after a taste, they quickly let people bring down the stove and so on, and the maids brought water to let them wash, and suddenly Ping'er shouted, "Why is my bracelet missing?" ”
