Chapter 49: Qi Zhi
Rongguofu,
In Mrs. Wang's courtyard, Baoyu sat aside and waited for Mrs. Wang to speak.
On the couch, Mrs. Wang saw that Baoyu seemed to be displeased, and she knew the reason, it must be her sister who went out to the house of a brother, so that Baoyu did not like it, and when she thought about it, she was relieved:
"Baoyu, Brother Rong is your nephew's descendant, you should have the bearing of an elder, this time you are going to be a guest, how can this be."
"It's not as good as before, now Brother Rong is a capable person, and the old lady in the hall also said that day, let you get along more, and there will be a care in the future. Listen to the old lady's words, go, Tonglian's daughter-in-law will send the gift on my behalf. ”
Baoyu is happy that she is a lovely girl, and she is a girl with dark fragrance and sleeves, and she is reluctant to get along with Jia Rong, Jia Qiang and other gentlemen in the past.
I have seen Jia Rong in the hall many times become so heroic and powerful now, which fills Baoyu's heart with a little disgust.
is completely inferior to his brother-in-law Qin Zhong, who is gentle and touching like a woman, nor as chic as Wei Ruolan and Feng Ziying, and does not understand poetry and songs, he is completely vulgar, and Baoyu is very disdainful in his heart.
But when the wife said this, he responded obediently and bowed away.
Seeing Baoyu walking out of the house with a sad face and being very ugly, Baoyu's eldest maid came forward to greet her and asked:
"Baoyu, what's wrong? Is the lord in there? ”
Baoyu sighed: "No, it's just that when I think that the sisters are going to surround Jia Rong's vulgar and unelegant rough man, I feel uncomfortable. ”
When the attacker heard this, he understood what Baoyu was thinking, and said:
"I think too much, not to mention that the master is stubborn with the girls from childhood to adulthood, even if they have the same hobbies, I haven't seen Brother Rong and the girls can talk, and I can write poems for the master at the poetry meeting, Brother Rong has always been a person who does not learn and has no skills, does not like scriptures, and does not like poetry, how can I compare with the master, not to mention that they are still a generation behind, and they can still do bad things."
After listening to what Mrs. Wang said, Baoyu felt even more displeased, and listening to what the attacker said, although it was a bit serious, Baoyu was relieved.
"As my sister said, it's messy if I care."
After calming down, Baoyu went out of the house with the attacker to find Wang Xifeng.
Xinfu,
The sisters chatted in the room, and Tanchun said:
"Brother Rong seems to be very different from before, and it is very pleasing to see now, but there has never been such a thing in the past."
Xue Baochai responded: "I didn't know much before, since I was in Rongguo Mansion, I have heard my brother praise Brother Rong all day long, but no one has ever convinced him so much, more than listening to my mother's words." ”
"In the past, I only heard Brother Rong, and he drank and had fun with Brother Qiang in Dongfu all day long, but now it has become so majestic, and my nephew and daughter-in-law will tell us what Brother Rong has done in recent days." Shi Xiangyun answered with interest.
As Jia Rong's closest person, she feels Jia Rong's changes the most, and since her aunts have opened their mouths, she should also talk.
"I don't know what I've done outside, and my grandfather has never told me about it when he comes home, but he just told me not to worry. As for the changes, my usual preferences have changed a lot. ”
Hearing this, not only Shi Xiangyun, but all the women were interested.
"In the past, it was indeed as Aunt Yun said, but in recent days, I have never seen my master do some ridiculous things again. In addition to cooking, I would read some books on weekdays, write some words, and sometimes hum some minor tunes when I got up, I didn't know much about music, I didn't know what kind of music I was humming, and I didn't know where I learned it. ”
Tanchun is the most favorite word, and he said strangely: "Brother Rong can actually practice calligraphy?" Is there any handwriting here? ”
Qin Keqing shook his head, "Master, I am in the study on weekdays, and I don't bring it out, but the handwriting is much neater, not as uninked as in the old days." ”
The women were a little surprised, I don't know if this Jia Rong can compose poetry, if so, they can also bring Jia Rong and Keqing to have a poetry meeting in the future, and the poetry club is prosperous, and the women are naturally happy.
The words of chatting in the house did not reach Jia Rong's ears, and now he was busy in the stove room.
With his efficient memory, he can casually flip through the recipes he has seen in his previous life, the videos of food bloggers, and he can also know exactly which dishes the women in the Dream of Red Mansions love.
For example, fried wolfberry sprouts with oil and salt, a dish that Xue Baochai loved in the Dream of Red Mansions, Xue Baochai was suffering from fever, and such a cold thing had a therapeutic effect on him.
Cordyceps duck soup, the soup is Jia Rong's favorite, this soup is prepared for Jia Tanchun, Tanchun has a strong personality, yin and yang complement each other, drink some soup that nourishes yin and nourishes blood.
And this Longjing shrimp is a famous Jiangnan food prepared for Lin Daiyu, who doesn't like greasy, and the light mouth is just right for her.
There is also fried venison prepared for Shi Xiangyun and so on.
At the right time, someone from the outer courtyard arrived.
After the transmission, Jia Rong said to the maids around her: "First pack the dishes in a warm food box, and then send them to the house later." ”
Ignoring the matter here, Jia Rong went out to greet Wang Xifeng and the others, but before she arrived in the outer courtyard, she saw that a few people were about to come in.
Jia Baoyu, Wang Xifeng and Li Kun walked on the atrium corridor with Jia Lan and many big maids of Jiafu, Ping'er, Raider, Suyun and others.
Jia Rong arched her hand and said: "Auntie, second aunt, second uncle Bao, Brother Lan has been lazy, and he is preparing to eat in the stove room, so he did not greet him at the courtyard gate." ”
Baoyu, who was already very disliked, saw that Jia Rong was full of fireworks, which added a little disdain, and as a man, he went to the stove room to do what the subordinates should cook, waved his hand and covered his mouth and nose and said:
"Mrs. sent me some gifts to make up for the lack of children that Brother Rong has not yet opened, where are the sisters now, lead me to wait first."
Jia Rong thanked her, and also saw that Baoyu's face was not happy, and she was not bored with herself, so she didn't say anything and led a few people to the inner courtyard.
Seeing that the two of them were so cold, Wang Xifeng could only sigh, thinking in his heart, Mrs. really shouldn't let Baoyu come, these two people are not right at all, and they can't sit together.
The two of them couldn't sit together, and what Jia Rong thought in her heart was that she had the most fundamental conflict of interest with Baoyu.
Everyone walked into the house, and at this time there were two large tables in the room, one for the young lady and one for the maid.
The small banquet between relatives is not taboo about the difference between men and women, Qin Keqing sits in the deputy escort seat, on both sides is Shi Xiangyun, Jia Xichun, and Sanchun sit side by side on one side, and on the other side is the seat reserved for Baoyu, Daiyu, and Baochai, Jia Rong and Qin Keqing sit opposite each other, the main escort seat, accompanied by the two aunts.
Everyone sat down, and Jia Rong wondered: "Third aunt, why didn't Brother Huan come?" ”
She doesn't like this brother Jia Huan, who stays by her mother's side and is disciplined by her mother's parents.
It's not that I don't like this person, but I don't like his temperament, like Aunt Zhao, who is too small and childish, and can't get into the elegant hall.
Tanchun can't discipline all the time, and there are many sighs on weekdays, and at this moment he said:
"Leave him alone, we'll just have fun."
