Back in Ningguo Mansion, Jia Huan found Lin Zhixiao and asked him to prepare two baskets of crabs and some other wine and food, so that Ming'er would be treated.

Lin Zhixiao agreed to come down and went out to arrange this matter.

After breakfast on the second day, Jia Huan went to Xifu to invite the old lady in person.

Today he was going to feast on the sisters in the Grand View Garden, and he had just offended the old lady, and it was expected that the old lady would not go.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived at Rongqing Hall, he saw that Shi Xiangyun was also here.

After Jia Huan greeted Jia's mother first, he couldn't help but ask, "Sister Shi, when did you come?" Why didn't I see you when I came here yesterday? ”

Shi Xiangyun pursed his lips and said, "Bad brother, you only have Sister Lin in your eyes, where can you see me?" ”

"I was picked up by my ancestors yesterday afternoon, and my ancestors still loved me and thought about me! Bad brother, you have a treat in the yard, you can't even think of me again! ”

(Shi Xiangyun should be called Aunt Jia, but I have never seen Shi Xiangyun called Aunt Jia.) There is a paragraph in the original text: I turned around and called Baoyu to come to him, and quietly instructed: Even the old lady can't remember me, so you often send someone to pick me up. Therefore, I wrote according to the name of the ancestors, if there is a clear name in the book, please also leave a message in the comment area of the book friend who knows, and the rain will be modified)

Jia Huan was a little embarrassed by what Shi Xiangyun said.

But the question is, why should I think of you and send someone to take you over?

Don't you understand the truth that men and women don't kiss? Now Shi Xiangyun is not young, uh, Jia Huan feels that he is about the same age as her, and he should know how to avoid suspicion.

Jia Huan couldn't help but say: "Sister Shi, it's not that I forgot about you, but I've been busy in the past few days, and I haven't prepared anything." ”

"I only prepared two baskets of crabs and a little side dish, which was too shabby. When I come back during the Chinese New Year, I will definitely set up a good wine banquet on the table, which will be specially invited to Sister Shi. ”

Hearing Jia Huan's words, Shi Xiangyun couldn't help but laugh and said, "Bad brother, you don't know me yet?" Am I the one who is petty and picky? Even if you invite me to eat cabbage and tofu, I will be grateful for your friendship. ”

"Also, as you said just now, during the Chinese New Year, a good banquet will be set up on the table to invite me. If you don't invite me then, I won't follow. ”

At this moment, Wang Xifeng just walked in.

Hearing Shi Xiangyun's words, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's just right that I'm here, I can't pretend that I haven't heard this." Brother Huan'er wants to have a banquet for Sister Shi for the New Year, if you don't bring me, I will not agree. ”

Jia Mu smiled: "I know that you are a bad person, if Brother Huan'er doesn't invite you, the old woman will give you an idea." You don't need to be invited, you just go to Dongfu, and when you get to the dinner table, you can sit down and leave after eating. ”

"Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds for you to eat well and make them dislike?"

Wang Xifeng clapped his hands and smiled: "It's still the best idea of the old ancestor, I came this time, and I can be regarded as following the old ancestor to learn!" ”

As soon as he said this, the whole room laughed.

Then, Jia Huan told him about the crab banquet he had set up in the Grand View Garden.

Jia Huan thought that Jia's mother would not go, but who expected that Jia's mother was very interested today, and she decided to go to the banquet with great interest.

This couldn't help but make Jia Huan stunned, but today he let a sincere guest.

Wang Xifeng chuckled and said, "Ancestor, now I will learn and sell now, so I will be a villain." I followed my ancestors, sat down and ate, and ate and left. ”

Mother Jia also smiled: "The old woman also saw it, they didn't sincerely invite the old woman, we didn't like him." ”

Jia Huan also said with a smile: "What the ancestor said made his grandson have no place to stand. If you can invite your ancestors, your grandchildren don't know how happy they are, where can they not be sincere? ”

"Yes, if the old ancestor doesn't believe it, I will help the old ancestor to go over. This time has passed, and I guess I am almost ready. It's not good, just listen to the play. ”

After that, Jia Huan really came over to help Jia's mother to go out, and Wang Xifeng supported her on the other side, and walked towards the Grand View Garden together.

Jia Mu asked which place is better?

Jia Huan said: "The two osmanthus trees under the hillside are blooming well, and the water in the river is clear. ”

Jia Mu heard this and said, "This is very true. ”

As he spoke, he led the crowd to the Lotus Champs.

Originally, this lotus root Champs is covered in the pool, there are windows on all sides, there are curved corridors on the left and right, and it is also across the water to connect the shore, and there are zigzag bamboo bridges behind it.

Everyone got on the bamboo bridge, and Sister Feng was busy hugging Jia's mother, and said: "The ancestor just strides forward, it has nothing to do with it, the rules of this bamboo bridge are creaking." ”

When I entered the pavilion, I saw two bamboo cases outside the railing, one with cups and spoons and wine utensils, and one with tea whisks and tea cups and various tea utensils.

There are two or three girls on the stove to make tea, and the other girls on this side are also fanning the stove to burn wine.

Jia Muxi hurriedly asked: "This tea has arrived, and it is a place, and everything is clean." ”

Tanchun said with a smile: "This is what Sister Bao wants to prepare." ”

Jia's mother said: "I said that this child is meticulous and thinks about everything properly. ”

Saying that, they entered the pavilion together and offered tea, and Sister Feng was busy setting up the table and asking for cups.

Sister Feng instructed: "Don't bring more crabs, still put them in the steamer, take ten, eat them and take them again." ”

At the same time, he washed his hands with water again, stood in front of Jia's mother, peeled crab meat, and offered it to Jia's mother.

And he said, "Bring me the wine that is hot and hot." ”

He also ordered the little girls to get the mung bean noodles smoked from the chrysanthemum leaves and osmanthus stamens, and prepare to wash their hands.

At this time, Lin Daiyu quietly came to Jia Huanmian and said, "Brother Huan, I see that there are a lot of crabs here, and we can't eat them all." Why don't you order some for the two wives? and Aunt Zhao and Aunt Zhou, they should also send some. ”

was mentioned by Lin Daiyu, and Jia Huan suddenly came to his senses.

Today, he was sure that Mrs. Wang would not come, so he simply did not invite her.

If you don't give some to her, it won't look good.

The point is that he even forgot where his own mother, Aunt Zhao......

If this is not sent over, Aunt Zhao may scold him behind his back What is good.

Thinking of this, Jia Huan couldn't help but say: "Sister Lin, you are still thoughtful, and you have to mention me." If only you had come by the door earlier, it would have been best for you to deal with these things. ”

Lin Daiyu took a bite at him, turned around and left.

Wang Xifeng smiled: "Sister Lin, what are you whispering to Brother Huan?" Tell us about it, too. ”

Lin Daiyu blushed and said: "I said that Feng Yatou is used to being jealous, this idea of vinegar is not enough for Feng Yatou to eat alone, but I have to bring a few more jars of vinegar to eat Feng Yatou." ”

Lin Daiyu said something, and everyone laughed.
