023 Where does Wang Xifeng live?
Mrs. Xue took Xue Baobao and Zhen Yinglian back to Lixiang Courtyard and asked about what had just happened.
Xue Baobao said truthfully, and took the opportunity to give Mrs. Xue eye medicine, "Cousin Baoyu is also twelve years old, but he is still messing around in the backyard.
I heard that he used to study with the teacher, but now that the teacher has something to do, he simply doesn't study.
Their family obviously has a school, but he doesn't go, and he likes to talk and laugh with his sisters wantonly.
The son-in-law of the Guogong Mansion is so educated, I can be regarded as having seen it."
Mrs. Xue patted her with disgust, "Do you know what the upbringing of the Guogong Mansion is, Baoyu is still young, the old lady is doting, it is inevitable to be petite, it would be good to be older."
She said that she saw her daughter's face full of disapproval, and said, "Your cousin Baoyu is a person with a background, how many people in this world can be born from a jade?"
It doesn't matter how pampered the old lady and your aunt are, they will definitely be a great creation in the future! ”
Xue Baobao pouted, great creation?
Although I don't know what the ending of Cao Gong's final writing is, Jia Baoyu is definitely going to become a monk, even if he is promoted like Gao He continued to write before becoming a monk?
Lin Ruhai is still Tanhualang, and few people praise him for his great creation!
Seeing that she didn't think so, Mrs. Xue advised, "If we are new here, we have to rely on the Rongguo Mansion." A lot, you are not allowed to be rude to your cousin Baoyu in the future! ”
Xue Baobao was afraid that she would chatter, so she nodded perfunctorily, chatted with Mrs. Xue a few more words, and then went out of the main house to find Zhen Yinglian.
The Xue family lives in the Rongguo Mansion, and Zhen Yinglian can take a girl's family with her, but she can't take Mrs. Zhen with her, so Mrs. Xue ordered Mrs. Zhen to be sent to the Xue family's house in the capital, and Zhen Yinglian still lives with Xue Baobao.
Zhen Yinglian was doing needlework, crying while doing it, and when she saw Xue Baobao coming, she hurriedly wiped her tears and asked Xue Baobao to sit down.
Xue Baobao, "......"
You don't need to ask to know that it must be for the lawsuit just now.
Sure enough, before she asked, Zhen Yinglian cried and said that she couldn't speak, which caused her trouble, and called her a disagreement with her cousin.
Xue Baobao, "......"
Zhen Yinglian is not good at this, she thinks too much, and she always likes to take the responsibility on herself!
Xue Baobao waved his hand indifferently, "It's that Jia Baoyu who is wrong, disrespectful to our sisters, what's the matter with you?"
Don't do this, I see that Cousin Lin and Cousin's Niuniu are a little coughing, let's make some Guangui thirsty cakes for her to eat."
After returning to Jinling from Yangzhou, Xue Baobao didn't dare to eat blatantly, and only made some snacks from time to time.
In ancient times, although the ladies did not have the lessons of gentlemen and cooks, and did not advocate learning cooking, they were very much in favor of the ladies who knew a few specialty dishes or dim sum.
Of course, their so-called "will" is just standing outside the kitchen and "instructing" the cooks to cook.
The Guan Gui Thirsty Biscuit that Xue Baobao is going to make today is similar to various lozenges in later generations, which can give birth to jin and stop cold cough.
The thirst is turned into a paste with rose water, and the silla ginseng, guangui, and bai naba are ground into the end of the medicine, and the cake is made with the mimeograph of the chebula.
When eating, put it in your mouth like a lozenge and slowly puff it up.
Out of nowhere, Ying'er turned out a pair of plum blossom molds of 36 styles, each of which is only two to three centimeters in size, and the styles are different, with single petals, double petals, long stamens, and brocade leaves...... Very elegant and cute.
Xue Baobao was overjoyed, Lin Daiyu in the original book liked these elegant things very much, and used this exquisite mold to make Guangui thirsty cakes, Lin Daiyu must be more willing to eat them.
Ying'er said with a smile, "This mold was originally honored by the shopkeeper below, saying that it can be made into plum blossom soup cakes, but the cook doesn't make it delicious, and she has never made it again."
Girl, after making cakes for Miss Lin, let's make plum blossom soup cakes and eat them, the girls must be better than the cook! ”
Xue Baobao, "......"
She remembered that Ying'er used to only like to do handicrafts, but now, has she cultivated a foodie?
Xue Baobao didn't want the help of the cook, so he and Zhen Yinglian, Ying'er and a few other little girls adjusted the ingredients of the thirsty cakes, put them into the grinding tool carefully, and took them out one by one after they were solidified and formed, and put them into a wide-mouthed fine porcelain bottle.
She did a lot, and the fine porcelain bottle was not big, she put more than a dozen bottles, and told Ying'er to send one bottle to each girl.
I thought of the original book in which Mrs. Xue took two boxes of uterine flowers for Zhou Rui's family to give to each girl, and put Lin Daiyu in the last one to give it away, but called Lin Daiyu to be more hearty.
He said, "Forget it, my sister and I will send it, you clean up here, and when we come back to make plum blossom soup cakes, it will definitely be too late at noon, and we will wait for my brother to come back and eat together at night."
At this time, it was already lunchtime, and the thirsty cake was not in a hurry, so Xue Baobao and Zhen Yinglian went to have lunch with Mrs. Xue, and took a nap before leaving Lixiang Courtyard.
Well, the first one will be sent to Sister Lin!
Besides, Lin Daiyu went back to the yard that Jia's mother had just allocated to her a few years ago, and she didn't speak, but fell into bed and covered her face and wept silently.
Zijuan has been serving her for a year, knowing that she has always been such a character, she couldn't say anything after asking a few questions, so she had to give up.
When Lin Daiyu first came, as soon as she cried, she immediately went to tell Jia's mother, and then Jia's mother moved everyone to persuade her.
Later, Lin Daiyu always cried over some inexplicable trivial things from time to time.
After many times, I went to tell Jia's mother, and Jia's mother was sometimes too lazy to move, and only asked the people they served to be more attentive.
Later, if it wasn't a big deal, she wouldn't bother Jia's mother.
She estimated that Lin Daiyu's crying this time was mostly because of the conflict between Jia Baoyu and Xue Baobao.
Like Jia Mu and Mrs. Xue, she only felt that this was a trivial matter, and she couldn't be persuaded to see it, so she stood for a while and then withdrew.
Lin Daiyu was lying on the bed alone, the more she thought about it, the more sad she became, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that she had no face to see her father again, and she cried so much that her heart and intestines were broken.
But she wants to be strong, for fear that others will look down on her even more, so she refuses to cry out loud, and she almost loses her breath several times.
I don't know how long it took, the voice of the purple juan outside sounded, "Miss Xue and Miss Zhen are here, our girls are asleep, will the two girls come next time?" ”
Lin Daiyu heard it clearly in the room, and was busy holding her body, not daring to cry anymore, for fear of being heard by Xue Baobao.
"Still asleep at this time? Have you eaten? ”
Zijuan replied, "When the girl came back, she lay down and didn't eat." The girl has a weak spleen and stomach, and eating one or two meals three times a day is Amitabha, and it doesn't matter."
Xue Baobao didn't speak again, and Zijuan lost his voice.
Lin Daiyu thought that Xue Baobao and the two were gone, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to move her stiff body, when she heard Xue Baobao's voice outside again, "Sister Lin is weak, and she is even more taboo about eating and drinking, even if she can't eat three meals a day, it's good to eat one or two bites."
Otherwise, if you don't eat it today, if you don't eat it tomorrow, it will hurt your stomach and intestines, and you won't be able to eat it in the future.
I saw that Sister Lin had a little cough today, and made Guan Gui Thirsty Cake, which is the most raw and cough suppressant, and it can be eaten as sugar if it is fine, only to moisten the throat than sugar.
You go and tell Sister Lin to get up, eat a slice or two, and you won't have an appetite."
Zijuan was busy, and Xue Baobao said again, "Let's make plum blossom soup cakes to eat at night, and send a bowl to my sister when the time comes."
Zijuan thanked the two and sent them away, and when they entered the house, they saw Daiyu sitting with the quilt in her arms, her eyes were red, but she didn't cry anymore.
Zijuan hurriedly presented the small porcelain vase to Lin Daiyu, "Just now Miss Xue and Miss Zhen sent it over, saying that it is the most raw and cough suppressant, and the girl will try to eat a piece."
Lin Daiyu cried until now and didn't even drink saliva, her throat was so dry that she took the bottle and opened it, and saw that the thirsty cake was delicate and cute, so she couldn't help but take out a piece and put it in her mouth.
Zijuan hurriedly asked, "Is it good for the girl to eat?" ”
Lin Daiyu tasted it carefully, "Sweet, there is also a medicinal smell, but it is just right, but it suppresses the sweetness and greasyness."
Zijuan smiled, "That's good, no wonder Miss Xue said that it can be eaten as sugar, the girl has to cough a few times from time to time, it's best to eat this."
Lin Daiyu didn't answer, but she told Zijuan to wait to get up and clean her face, Sister Bao sent this, she couldn't live up to her heart, even if she couldn't eat, she had to eat a few bites.
……
……
Xue Baobao came out of Lin Daiyu, went to find Sanchun, sent cakes, gossiped a few words, and went to find Wang Xifeng.
Wang Xifeng lives behind the main house Rongxi Hall, Xue Baobao is led by the maid of Jiafu, and walks north along a north-south wide sandwich road, and sees a large pink shadow wall, there is half a gate behind the shadow wall, and a small room is the residence of Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian.
When Xue Baobao came, Wang Xifeng happened to be standing at the shadow wall and talking to a few housekeepers, and when he saw Xue Baobao, he smiled enthusiastically, "My cousin is here, please come in!" ”
Xue Baobao patronized Brother Bao and Sister Lin when he was reading books, and he only remembered the residence of Bao Chai Dai in the Grand View Garden, and didn't pay attention to where Wang Xifeng lived.
In the past two days, all she has seen are pavilions and pavilions in Jiafu, rockeries and flowing water, exquisite and atmospheric everywhere, but she didn't expect that as the core figure in the world of Red Mansions, Wang Xifeng would live in such a remote and small place, and couldn't help but be surprised, "Cousin lives here?" ”
It shouldn't be, not to mention that Wang Xifeng is very loved by Jia's mother, just because Jia Lian is the only concubine of the Rongguo Mansion and the rightful heir of the Rongguo Mansion, Wang Xifeng shouldn't live in such a house!
There is no yard, the place is biased, let's not talk about it, it's still so small, Jia Lian's family of three, and the maid who is waiting, can you squeeze it?
It shouldn't be the dignity that Jiafu's grandson and granddaughter-in-law should have at all!
Xue Baobao was just pure curiosity, but Wang Xifeng felt that the little girl's pure curiosity turned into a sharp blade and stabbed herself in the face!
She is a very strong and face-saving character, with a good background, and she is married to the grandson of the head of the Guogong Mansion, but now she is asked by her cousin who was born in a merchant how she can live in such a house!
Wang Xifeng only felt that his face was hot, and he almost couldn't maintain the smile on his face, so he turned around and scolded the ladies in charge and said, "If the account is like this, you will come to look for me, don't get out of here, don't come if it's not clear!" ”
