Baochai beckoned, Ying'er stepped forward and put the food box on the table to open it, took out a few small bowls of jasper, and scooped the soup for Daiyu and the others one by one.

Lotus leaf soup is not a noble thing, in the final analysis, it is just a bowl of pimple soup, but it accounts for two things: "troublesome" and "kitkat".

The Jia family has a total of four pairs of silver molds, which are chiseled with bean-sized and delicate patterns, chrysanthemums, plum blossoms, lotus flowers, water chestnuts, and lotus leaves...... Thirty or forty in all.

Knead the dough and print it out with a mold, simmer it in chicken soup, and then supplement it with the fragrance of new lotus leaves, so it is called "lotus leaf soup".

It turned out that Baoyu wanted to eat it once, so Wang Xifeng sold it and made it for Jia's mother, Aunt Xue, Mrs. Wang and other sisters to enjoy together.

Even a woman from a wealthy family like Aunt Xue has never eaten a kitsch of things, and it has been praised by everyone.

The spring festival was also unhappy, and he didn't go to Jia's mother to eat.

She is a shameless person with the elders, no one thinks about her, and no one sends her a bowl.

And she couldn't even figure out what was going on in her room, and any grandmother and sister-in-law dared to secretly take her money and things.

Naturally, she didn't have any spare money, so she went to the kitchen to find someone to make such a bowl of Labor-Bala to eat.

Baochai was careful and kept it in mind, and she sent it to her without a smile.

Do you say that her heart is full of hypocrisy? Not really.

Jia Huan, who was born as a concubine and can't even look down on people in the house; Jia Yingchun, who was born as a concubine and dared to be bullied by his subordinates, which one of them is the daughter of Baochai, a wealthy imperial businessman, who needs to be stammered?

But she really doesn't distinguish between thin and thick, she takes care of every one, and always makes people feel so comfortable.

Yingchun had gratitude in his eyes, and said softly: "It's hard for Sister Bao to remember." ”

"It's all over with the second sister," Daiyu had recovered her expression, and took a sip of the soup, "Not to mention that this lotus leaf soup is easy to grind your teeth to make, and it tastes really good, and there is a lotus fragrance." ”

There was no usual ridicule and banter in the words.

After drinking the delicious soup, Tanchun and Yingchun played chess, Qingwen and Baochai discussed needlework, and Xichun and Daiyu studied and painted.

Xiangyun scurried back and forth around several people, pointing at this from time to time, and making a fuss about that, making people not quiet for a moment, causing everyone to laugh and drive her away.

The sisters enjoyed themselves until dinner.

The next day, Qingwen took Xiaohong to the tofu shop.

There are many people around the front of the shop, all of whom are here to buy soy products, and by the way, take a look at the beautiful tofu Shih Tzu.

Third Sister You was busy weighing tofu, collecting money, and making change, all the time, but she kept having a bright smile on her face.

Qingwen walked into the shop, and the third sister was busy asking Xiaohong to sell goods for her for a while, and came to Qingwen's side by herself.

"Third sister, are you still comfortable working here?" Qingwen asked with a smile.

"How can it be uncomfortable? You don't know how comfortable I am! ”

Third Sister You smiled and stroked the sweat-soaked bangs on her forehead, her voice was full of tenderness and pride, "I never thought that I would be able to support myself one day, and it would be nice to have to wait for someone to give alms."

At the beginning, I was not doing well, and the accounts were slow, so I was really busy for a few days. However, Brother Liu in the backyard came to help me every day after finishing the rest of the work, and he was willing to teach me, which would be much better. ”

Brother Liu is the one who signed the death deed left behind, and Mama Zheng chose Liu Liren to be the acting housekeeper.

He proved to be diligent, loyal, and shrewd.

Jia Yun discussed with Qingwen and asked him to be the manager of the workshop.

When Jia Yun was away, he managed the workshop.

He managed the workshop in an orderly manner and took care of the shops in front of him from time to time.

Qingwen came over several times and saw him helping in the shop.

From time to time, his eyes quietly glanced at Third Sister You, his expression was full of joy and panic.

I'm afraid of being discovered, and I can't help but peep, I'm afraid it's not the performance of the young man's Huaichun, right?

Lin Qingwen looked at Third Sister You, and when she mentioned Liu Liren, her smile became even brighter, and a whim occurred in her heart.

"Third sister, Brother Liu is a good one, loyal, hardworking, and good at treating people, why don't I let Mama Zheng come and be a matchmaker for you......"

"Girl, don't ......" Third Sister You turned red and hurriedly lowered her head, "I'll ...... him There is no such mind. ”

Alas! Qingwen sighed secretly in her heart.

It seems that it is not okay to mess with the mandarin duck spectrum.

She originally thought that if she matched Third Sister You and Liu Liren together, there would be nothing to do with Liu Xianglian, and there would be no "love little sister returns to the underworld in shame, and Leng Erlang enters the empty door coldly".

With this move, you can save the two big wronged species, Third Sister You and Liu Xianglian.

It's a pity that looking at this situation, Third Sister You really has a deep love for Liu Xianglian in her heart.

What's so good about that guy? Lin Qingwen slandered in her heart.

"Girl, don't worry about me."

Third Sister You smiled, and held a post with a faint pear blossom fragrance in both hands, "This is sent by the descendants of the Zheng family, and Miss Zheng invites you to her house to participate in the chrysanthemum feast." ”

"Chrysanthemum feast?" Qingwen was stunned.

What's going on? This kind of banquet has never been described in "Dream of Red Mansions"!

"Girl, Miss Zheng said, I haven't seen you for a long time, I just want to see you, but I didn't expect you to pick anyone." Third Sister You smiled in her beautiful eyes.

Oh, I see! Qingwen suddenly realized.

This kind of banquet is generally organized by the wife of the family with marriageable children, and the wife of the same family with marriageable children is invited to bring her daughter to attend.

The ladies will secretly observe the girls attending the banquet, look at their appearance, behavior, family history, etc., and choose their favorite daughters-in-law from them.

No one in the Jia family should have ever participated in this kind of banquet, because the daughters of the Jia family are either preparing for being elected to the palace, or digesting within the four major families, and they naturally have plans when they are old.

……

Speaking of which, Zheng Gongzi's body is already well, right?

These days, Imperial Physician Wang went to Zheng's house every few days to check his pulse and adjust the prescription.

Qingwen made things clear, he didn't have to pretend to be a ghost anymore, and he could get a generous consultation fee every time, and the old man was happy.

Zheng Rong's body is getting better day by day under his careful conditioning.

A few days ago, Qingwen saw him on the street, although his face was still a little pale, but he entered his shop with joy on his face.

Perhaps, he has already begun to slowly take over the management of the store?

So is the Zheng family's flower-viewing banquet for Zheng Ying, the daughter of the newly retired husband, or for Zheng Rong, who is twenty-five or sixteen years old and has not yet married a wife?

No matter who you look at, those girls who want to come to the Zheng family's invitation should not be young, right?

Zheng Ying let her sisters who are familiar with her also take them to play together, who to take with her?

Qingwen thought silently, and a person suddenly popped up in her head.
