Qing Wu Red House

When the little girl announced this, Li Wan, who had been silent in the living room, hurriedly took a few girls and hid in the green gauze cabinet inside.The rest of the female family, except Jia's mother, hurriedly stood up and went forward to meet Jia Zheng.

Jin Chuan'er, the eldest girl next to Mrs. Wang, picked up the curtains herself. Jia Zheng led Lin Haorui and Chu Tianyou and walked in quickly, bowing down to salute Jia's mother: "Greetings, old lady!"

"Why are you here now?" Mother Jia asked Jia Zheng to sit down with a smile.Jia Zheng replied solemnly: "The son heard that Hao Rui was coming to visit his mother, and he happened not to come to pay his respects to his mother today, so he came together. Mother, don't underestimate these two children, they are all capable. "

"I dare not underestimate it!" Mother Jia smiled kindly, "I heard that this brother of the Chu family won the title of Jie Yuan, the head of the Jinling Mansion, so don't just chat with Brother Chu about things in books, Then you should also bring Brother Chu to visit the former Imperial Examiners of the Imperial Academy."

Jia Zheng hurriedly said: "What the mother said is true, but the son ignored it! Tomorrow, I will bring Tianyou to visit."

"It's Uncle Lao!" Chu Tianyou saluted with a smile, and Lin Haorui couldn't help but glance at him with a cautious and polite look.Jia Zheng said again: "I heard that Hao Rui rented a small courtyard with three entrances in the back street to live in. I came here to discuss with my mother. We have a lot of courtyards, so why let Hao Rui live in another place? According to my son, it is better It’s good to live in the mansion.”

Jia Mu nodded: "That's exactly the reason. There's no reason to go out to live in Beijing after coming to Beijing."

Lin Haorui hurriedly said: "Thank you, old lady, for your care. Ordinarily, if old lady opens her mouth, Haorui will obey her orders no matter what. It's just that Tianyou and I are used to being at ease, and besides, the house in the backyard is just across the street from our house. It's also very convenient."

Jia's mother also knew that Lin Haorui would not stay, so she didn't force her, and instead asked Mrs. Wang: "The second family, has Yu'er's courtyard been tidied up?"

Mrs. Wang hurriedly replied: "It has been cleaned up a long time ago, and it is arranged in the Luomei Courtyard on the east side of Lixiang Courtyard. The courtyard has two entrances, and there are many houses, just right for the eldest girl to live in."

Jiamu nodded: "That place is very good. You can go to Ruier's rented house by the back door after turning around the road. It's convenient. Now that Miss Teng is here, you should go find some materials and make them for them. some clothes!"

"Mother, don't worry, daughter-in-law will save it!" Mrs. Wang replied respectfully.

Lin Haorui said with a smile: "Haorui thank you, the second wife, for your hard work for my younger sister." Mrs. Wang smiled: "What Brother Lin said, I am the eldest girl's aunt, so I should." Lin Haorui bowed heavily: "Although the words are So, Haorui and his younger sister don’t live in Shangjing for a day and a half, making our aunt work hard for a long time, it seems that us juniors are too unfilial.” Then, he took out a bank note from his sleeve: “This It's 1 taels of silver, although I know it's not much, I hope my aunt won't hold it back!"

Mrs. Wang was not willing to take the bank note, and she was unwilling to take it, and was stunned for a while.Jia Zheng shouted, "What is Hao Rui doing? The eldest girl is our niece, and she lives in your own home. Why should I ask for money?"

Lin Haorui quickly stuffed the banknote into Mrs. Wang's hands, and smiled: "Although this is the truth, but if things go on like this, I'm afraid Haorui and his sister will be too embarrassed to continue living. Also, Haorui has one more request old lady."

Mother Jia had been watching several people coming and going with cold eyes. At this time, she heard Lin Haorui's voice and said with a smile: "What does Ruier want from me, the old woman!" Lin Haorui smiled and said: "I want the old lady to allow Haorui Rui set up a small kitchen in his sister's small courtyard. Our brother and sister Xiaozhong are vegetarians, so it's really hard to bother the big kitchen to do it alone."

Jia Mu smiled and said, "I know you are considerate of Yu'er, well, if this is not allowed, it will seem that I am a harsh old woman."

Lin Haorui hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Haorui thanked the old lady!" Then he took out a letter from his arms and said with a smile: "This is from Lian's second brother, Hao Rui, to the old lady, the old lady I don't know, Second Brother Lian is a big hit in this military election. Even General Hangzhou admires Second Brother Lian's marching formation. He always drags Second Brother Lian to the army as a staff officer."

Mother Jia smiled openly, and hurriedly asked Yuanyang to present the letter and read it carefully.Although Jia's mother loves Baoyu the most among the younger generation, she is also satisfied with Jia Lian. Over the years, Jia Lian and his wife have handled all the affairs in the mansion, which also made Jia's mother heavily dependent on this grandson.During these days when Jia Lian was not in the mansion, Jia's mother also felt that the news in the mansion was a little behind.

Jia Mu put the letter aside and tried the tears from the corner of her eyes: "Did Lian'er and Feng girl say when they will return?"

"Back to the old lady, it should be that the second sister-in-law came back as soon as she sat down. Lian's second sister-in-law asked Hao Rui to say hello to the old lady, saying that she missed you very much!" Lin Haorui replied.

"Yeah, I've been away from home for almost a year, and it's time to come back!" Mother Jia sighed, "Second brother, let Zhen'er send someone to meet Lian'er and his wife in a few days, and it's fine on the way." There is someone to take care of you." Jia Zheng hurriedly agreed, he was always indifferent to ordinary things, and now he sat with Jia Mu for a while, and then took Lin Haorui and Chu Tianyou to the front yard.

The girls also turned out from the green gauze closet, Daiyu heard her brother's words, and felt very attached to Lin Haorui's actions in her heart, seeing that Mrs. Wang was a little older than when she left Beijing last year, I think it's because Sister Feng is not around these days, so I'm overworked.Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "Grandmother, does she know about Sister Feng's happy event?"

"I know, I know!" When Jia Mu heard Daiyu say this, she immediately beamed and smiled: "Your Lian's second brother won the Wu Juren matter, I also heard about it. This Lian'er really answered the old saying, it's a big disaster." If you don't die, you will have a future blessing!"

Mrs. Xing was no longer silent at this time, she quickly followed up and congratulated again.After chatting for a while, Mother Jia felt tired, so she smiled and said, "Yu'er, go and see the new courtyard, it's just that you juniors have a good chat, and come to accompany me, the old woman, at dinner."

"Grandmother is resting, Yu'er resigned!" Daiyu smiled and left the room with Tenman.The three sisters Baoyu, Baochai and Yingchun also quit, and they all talked about going to Daiyu's small courtyard for a visit.

On the way, Baochai smiled and said, "Brother Bao, I heard that the name of Luomeiyuan was taken by Brother Bao. Is there a source?" Baoyu shook her head proudly: "Sister is really confused. Why did I forget, it was taken from the "Du Ling Gui Ke Zheng Pei Hui, whose family is called Luo Mei for the jade flute." Coincidentally, there are two red plum trees in this yard, which are really beautiful when they bloom in winter!"

Tenman listened to the conversation between the two with great interest, and then interrupted with a smile: "In my opinion, whoever calls this jade flute Luomei, why not change it to a jade flute who listens to Luomei? In terms of elegance and meaning in classical Chinese, I only want to use the word 'fragrance' for him."

Baoyusu liked her daughter's beauty. When she saw Tenman today, she felt that the most beautiful daughters in the world were sister Lin, Xue and Teng. Let it go easily, and hurriedly said: "I don't know what is the meaning of the word 'Xiang' by Sister Teng?"

Tenman said with a smile: "This is a dish from my hometown. As far as the appearance of this dish is concerned, it is ordinary and tight, but it is just a bowl of roasted beef sticks. But the way inside is more complicated." Tenman said here He stopped on purpose, which aroused the curiosity of several people.Tanchun was the most forthright, and said with a smile, "Sister Teng, hurry up and tell me, Hugh is going to be tricky."

Daiyu couldn't stop laughing, and took Tenman's arm: "Why didn't I know that my sister knew this way of cooking?" Tenman scratched Daiyu's nose: "In front of you, a talented girl, I am so embarrassed that I cook rice, oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar tea." Show off!"

"Oh, sister Teng said that and we don't agree!" Baochai joked with a smile: "Since she is a talented girl, we are the girls in the countryside. Anyway, we are willing to be girls in the countryside, and my sister is still the girl in the countryside." Let’s talk about your roasted beef strips, brother Bao’s saliva is about to flow out.”

Tenman smiled, and then said: "This roasted beef strip is cooked with lamb's left kidney, pig's ear, calf's kidney, and the roe leg meat and rabbit meat. The taste of the mouth There are many kinds of flavors, mixed with pigs and sheep is the general taste, and chewed with roe and ox is also the same taste. After careful calculation, there are a total of 25 changes, which is exactly the number of five or five plum blossoms. Because the meat strips are shaped like flutes, Therefore, this dish is called 'Jade Flute Who Ting Luo Mei'."

Tanchun clapped his hands and smiled after hearing this: "It's really drooling. Sister Teng must copy a detailed recipe for me later. I'd like to ask the master chef in the kitchen to do it to see if it's really what Sister Teng said. So amazing?"

"Where is it necessary to trouble the master, in my opinion, Xiuju beside sister Lin is enough!" Tenman replied with a smile.

Daiyu laughed coquettishly: "I said, why did Sister Teng suddenly mention this? So she was thinking about Xiuju's craftsmanship? Come on, let Xiujulu solve your greedy one day, so that you won't have to talk to me all day. Su, I have wronged the Wu Zang Temple!"

Tenman smiled brightly: "It's so good!"

Tanchun smiled and said: "Just now I heard Cousin Lin talk about Sister Lin setting up a small kitchen alone, I was still thinking that I must ask my second elder brother to advise Sister Lin as a cook in Yangzhou. If you want to eat Yangzhou cuisine, you will come to Sister Lin's place for a tooth sacrifice. Unexpectedly, Sister Lin already has a chef here. Sister Lin can't hide her secrets, so she should invite us as soon as possible."

Baoyu yelled: "It's just right. According to me, picking up the sun is worse than hitting the sun, just today!"

Baochai interrupted Baoyu with a smile: "Brother Bao is confused again. Sister Lin just arrived. There are so many people at this time. How can we entertain us? In my opinion, we should sit with Sister Lin instead of going to Lixiang Go to the courtyard and ask my brother to order a table of food from the restaurant outside, how about we have a drink order?"

Baoyu's eyes widened immediately, clapping his hands and laughing: "Sister Bao's method is very good. Xiren, please go back to the old lady and tell me that today we are going to have a feast at Sister Bao's place, so the old lady will not hesitate to reward her!"

Daiyu hurriedly stopped him: "Sister Xiren, stop quickly." Then she looked at Baoyu slightly angrily: "Baoyu, you are confused, but I am not. I just arrived today, and logically, I should have dinner with my grandmother." .Stop making fooling around."

Baoyu stared at Daiyu bewilderedly, and said with a silly smile: "Sister Lin said yes, I was wrong. Sister, don't make me angry."

"Who's annoying you!" Daiyu smiled sweetly, "Come on, didn't you say to visit my small courtyard?" Several people happily walked towards Daiyu's small courtyard, but they didn't realize that behind everyone, The big girl named Jin Chuan'er next to Mrs. Wang was showing a pair of extremely cold eyes at this moment.
