032 Poke the lung tubes
When Lin Daiyu heard this, she felt that the overwhelming joy rushed up from the bottom of her heart, instantly filling her entire chest.
Sister Bao is saying that she is her confidant!
Or is it destined to become a confidant as soon as they meet!
She has been weak since she was a child, rarely sees outsiders, and has no sisters at home.
After arriving in Jiafu, although he often joked with the Sanchun sisters, Shi Xiangyun of the Shi family slept with her when he came to Jiafu, but he always felt that there was a layer of separation until Xue Baobao arrived.
Xue Baobao always appeared beside her as an older sister, worried about her body, concerned about her diet, and considerate.
But she is very attentive to her thoughts, knowledgeable and insightful, smart, interesting and intelligent, but simple, and sincere to others.
Every time she saw her, she would think how nice it would be if she were her own sister!
But she also knew that she was extravagant, but she didn't expect to hear Xue Baobao say that she was her confidant!
Lin Daiyu's heart was happy and excited, but it seemed to be empty and empty, and her eyes turned red in an instant.
She was afraid that people would see it, but she made Xue Baobao worried, and hurriedly lowered her eyes.
Over there, Mrs. Wang saw Xue Baobao talking while looking at Lin Daiyu with a smile, it can be seen that she wanted to say that Lin Daiyu was her confidant, and put her suspicions down.
Bao girl has just arrived, and she is only in her teens, where do you know what is going on in your aunt's room?
Mrs. Wang asked Xue Baobao what pastimes he did on weekdays, what books he read, and so on.
Xue Baobao answered them one by one, and Mrs. Wang said, "My daughter's family doesn't have to read so many books, just recognize a few words, the most important thing is female red, needlework, didn't your wife teach you?" ”
Xue Baobao said, "Aunt is wrong when she says so, reading can enlighten wisdom, be reasonable, and cure foolishness."
Although we don't need to be famous like men, we will be in charge of the government in the future and take on the role of educating our children and grandchildren.
If you are not born smart and capable like Sister Feng, how can you run a good family and teach your children and grandchildren if you don't read and don't know how to reason? ”
Mrs. Wang was stunned, and Lin Daiyu looked at Xue Baobao with admiration, this is another important reason why she likes Xue Baobao, she is far braver than her, that is, what the elders said is wrong, and she also has the courage to refute.
Mrs. Wang was stunned for a moment and then became furious, "Are you calling me stupid? ”
She is illiterate, but she is in charge of a house, she was fine at first, but later she became more and more powerless, and was often beaten by Jia's mother openly and secretly.
As soon as Wang Xifeng entered the door, she hurriedly handed over all the things to her, and she only held on to her authority.
For the housekeeper, she really has a heart problem.
When it comes to parenting, she has a bigger heart.
Mother Jia still blames her for insisting on going her own way, sending her good daughter into the palace to be a female history who serves people, and after so many years, she can't get ahead.
Jia Zheng blamed her for blindly stuffing Jia Zhu's room into Jia Zhu's room because she didn't like her daughter-in-law, which made Jia Zhu young and empty, and she was sick.
After Jia Baoyu was born, Jia's mother directly took Jia Baoyu to raise her own under the pretext that she was not in good health, but she clearly said that she would not raise children!
Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng are not at all like each other, but in the end they are both daughters of the Wang family, and they value face the most, and they always guess that others are talking about her behind her back.
Therefore, I like to keep my wisdom and pretend to be a virtuous bodhisattva, so as to have a good reputation.
I don't want Xue Baobao to dare to say in front of her at this time that she doesn't study and doesn't know reason, so she can't handle her home and teach her children well, but it can be said that she stabbed her lung tube all of a sudden, and she was so angry that she had a seizure on the spot.
This time it was Xue Baobao's turn to be stunned, why did he say that he was scolding her?
In the Red Mansion, there is a big book about Wang Xifeng's illiteracy, but it doesn't say that Mrs. Wang is also illiterate!
Moreover, Mrs. Xue is absolutely literate and can settle accounts, so she can't read her sister, but her sister doesn't read, right?
Lin Daiyu and Zhen Yinglian hurriedly got up and saluted, asking Mrs. Wang to calm her anger.
As soon as Mrs. Xue came over, she heard her daughter's high-minded talk, and she knew that it was going to be bad, and sure enough, Mrs. Wang had a seizure on the spot.
She was afraid that Mrs. Wang would hate her daughter, so she hurriedly stepped forward, took Mrs. Wang's hand, and apologized with a smile, "Sister is angry."
Sister Bao's little family doesn't know anything, that is, she said casually, my sister doesn't have to be so right-numbered, but it scared a few girls."
Xue Baobao had already reacted at this time, most of Mrs. Wang was also illiterate, and at this time, listening to what Mrs. Xue said "sit in the right seat", she almost couldn't help laughing.
Madam, are you here to persuade people, or are you here to poke people's lung tubes?
Mrs. Xue didn't know that Xue Baobao had inadvertently and accurately poked her sister's two sore feet, but Mrs. Wang was angry that Xue Baobao scolded her for being illiterate, and was still persuading, "Sister, our Wang family has always pursued that women are virtuous if they are not talented, and most of the girls are illiterate, but who has not married a good family?" Who can't teach his children and grandchildren well?
My sister is our model, managing thousands of people up and down the Rongguo Mansion, who doesn't praise my sister for being virtuous?
Yuan Chun entered the palace, the creation is still behind, Baoyu is even more of a great creation, who does not envy my sister, even I am not envious in my selfish heart.
Sister Bao'er doesn't understand anything, her mouth is full of nonsense, sister, you don't have to worry about her."
Mrs. Xue really thinks so, in her opinion, Mrs. Wang is married high and has entered the Guogong Mansion, and Jia Zheng is a good person who can read.
is obviously the second son's daughter-in-law, but as soon as she entered the door, she took charge of the middle feed of the Guogong Mansion, and the children she gave birth to are even better than the other, who doesn't envy them?
She really thinks so, and what she says is naturally extraordinarily sincere.
Mrs. Wang was a little more angry when she heard this, thinking that Xue Baobao had just arrived, where did she know so much, that is, the villain was just talking nonsense in order to show his talent.
It's just that she was angry in the end, and said with a cold face, "That's the case, the baby girl is not small, but she is still so unscrupulous, and she dares to talk back to the elders in person."
It's even more narrow-minded, and the slightest contradiction with the brothers and sisters will not be forgiven, no wonder even the old lady personally mentioned it, and asked me to remind you that you are a good student to teach the treasure girl, so as not to have a left temperament.
I just pity me for being kind, but I was scolded, and now I don't dare to care, so I'll go home."
Mrs. Wang got up and left as she spoke, but Mrs. Xue couldn't stay, so she had to chase after her and make amends one by one.
Xue Baobao watched the two sisters go away, but she regretted it a little, she said it happily, but asked his wife to follow and apologize in a low voice.
In the future, we should still be cautious in our words and deeds, cautious and cautious, and this place will be different from the future generations, so as not to cause trouble and not know it.
Lin Daiyu and Zhen Yinglian were afraid that she would think too much, so they were busy persuading.
Xue Baobao waved his hand, "It's okay, I only know that Sister Feng is illiterate, so I deliberately singled her out, where did I think that my aunt was illiterate, it was me who was presumptuous to speak, come, let's continue."
That's what she said, but in the end she lost her interest.
Lin Daiyu saw that she was not interested, so she said, "These are not in a hurry, why don't we go and take a look at the bamboo shoots sent and see how to make them delicious."
Sister Bao is unhappy, so she should be happy to do something she likes, right?
Zhen Yinglian hurriedly continued, "Exactly, I didn't eat much at noon, and I was a little hungry at this time."
The spring cakes I made last time were delicious, so I might as well make a little more, and the eldest brother should go down later, and I must be hungry."
Xue Baobao couldn't bear to brush off their kindness, so he went to the kitchen with them.
The bamboo shoots are really good, white shell and white meat, the meat head is fat, very tender, pinched with fingers will overflow, the slightest collision will be broken.
Xue Baobao was overjoyed when he saw it, "Sure enough, it's a good bamboo shoot, make a bamboo shoot from the government, as well as fresh river shrimp, make a Longjing shrimp, Sister Lin must like it."
Make another dish of grunt meat, simple and delicious, send a little to Niuniu, the little girl likes to eat sweet, and she doesn't like to eat meat, it's just right to eat this."
The plan has been decided, and Xue Baobao commanded the cooks to get busy.
Wash the bamboo shoots and asparagus separately, cut them into diagonal sections, and blanch them in a pot.
Wash the prepared pork belly, put it in a pot of clean water and cook, remove it and cut it into strips.
When everything is ready, heat the oil pan, add the pork belly and fry until it stretches, then add the double bamboo shoots, fry them together until they are cooked through, and then add salt and seasonings to taste.
When stir-frying, Xue Baobao stood next to the hot pot, staring at the heat himself, and even more personally when adding seasoning.
After being cooked and put on the plate, Xue Baobao personally added some green leafy vegetables to make the appearance of bamboo shoots, which was refreshing and cute.
Zhen Yinglian said with a smile, "This is Sister Lin here, otherwise Sister Bao would never bother with this thought again."
Xue Baobao also smiled, "That is, Sister Lin is an elegant person, I will make pork belly for her to eat, if she doesn't make it look good, she will definitely refuse to put down the chopsticks."
Sure enough, when the second plate was cooked, Xue Baobao was only fiddled with by the cook, and said, "My brother is a rough man, let alone put it into a bamboo shoot, even if it is put into a peony flower, he will only chew peonies!" ”
Lin Daiyu came today, Xue Pan naturally couldn't eat at the same table with them, Xue Baobao prepared two portions of each dish, and the other served to Xue Pan to eat by himself.
The cauldron stove was much faster than Xue Baobao's previous guard of the induction cooker and gas stove, and when Mrs. Xue came back, several dishes had been prepared.
Xue Baobao ordered to put Xue Pan's share on the stove to be warmed, and the mother ate it first, and then instructed to send a piece of grunt meat to Sister Qiao'er.
As he was talking, Wang Xifeng arrived with Ping'er and Sister Qiao'er, and when he saw that they were preparing to eat, he smiled and said, "It's a coincidence today, my aunt's house is preparing to eat so early, no wonder our little ancestor has to clamo to come over."
Mrs. Xue took care of her mother's family and attached great importance to Wang Xifeng, her niece, so she hurriedly invited her in and sat down.
Xue Baobao ordered the kitchen to add a few dishes, and then took the plum blossom wine brought from Jinling.
Because of Xue Baobao's words, Lin Daiyu, who has never liked meat food, ate several chopsticks and pork belly during the banquet, but asked Wang Xifeng to take a few more looks.
Only her favorite is the Longjing shrimp, the shrimp jade is white and tender, and the tea leaves are green and fragrant.
Xue Baobao asked the maid to pinch a few spring flowers with green leafy vegetables and pose for a pose, just looking at it is pleasing to the eye.
Sister Qiao also loves this dish the most, a plate of shrimp, she eats almost a quarter of it.
Wang Xifeng loves the sour meat the most, and the slugging meat is generally sweet, but Lin Daiyu doesn't like things that are too sweet, and she is tired, so Xue Baobao aggravated the sourness, but it unexpectedly matched Wang Xifeng's taste.
A table of women did not use rice, and ate spring cakes to their heart's content.
It was the first time for Wang Xifeng to officially eat the dishes made by Xue Baobao, and he unconsciously ate too much, so he suggested going to the back garden of Jiafu.
Xue Baobao waved his hand again and again, "I won't go, my aunt is annoying me now, I'm still avoiding the limelight."
