Two hundred and thirty-five: The battle between the sweet party and the salty party
Jia Jing nodded to Guan Ling and said, "You go to Huifang Garden to practice later. The place is spacious and the scenery is good. There are people coming and going here, including the man in front. You are not suitable here."
The official looked at Jia Jing with burning eyes and nodded. After feeling Jia Jing's gaze, he couldn't help but lower his head slightly. Then he glanced at the civil official in shock, who was looking at her with a strange face.
The senior official couldn't help but tilted his head slightly. Jia Jing nodded and said, "That's it for now. I still have something to do, so you can continue your work." The civil servant then led the twelve opera officials and said, "Farewell to my uncle." Jia Jing
He waved casually and walked quickly towards the back house without looking back.
The senior official turned around and stared blankly at Jia Jing's back, with a dazed smile on his face. It wasn't until the civil servant coughed softly that the senior official came back to his senses, and then he saw several other people.
The drama officer looked at her with all kinds of teasing eyes, and the senior officer could not help but lower his head shyly. The civil servant stepped forward and coughed twice: "Go and practice! What are you looking at?"
Several other theater officials ran away laughing and joking. The civil servant glanced at Ling Guan and opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he said nothing. He just sighed and left. Ling Guan lowered his head slightly.
Lift up and look at the place where Jia Jing disappeared...
Jia Jing walked into Daiyu's yard with a smile. Daiyu didn't look sleepy, and her face was surprisingly good. Jia Jing couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that she was too worried. Isn't this great!
I just said that no one can be so stingy that I was so angry that I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night!
Daiyu was also a little surprised when she saw Jia Jing, but she just curved the corner of her mouth, then turned her head away, and at the same time snorted arrogantly. Zijuan took the small bowl that Daiyu had just finished.
After putting the porridge away, he bowed in surprise when he saw Jia Jing, then turned to Daiyu and shouted: "The second master is here? Girl! The second master is here!"
Daiyu snorted and said: "He is such a big man, so he can come whenever he comes. Can't he find a place to sit by himself? Why do you want me to stand up to greet him?" Zicuckoo looked at Jia Jing and smiled, Jia Jing
He scratched his head and said, "Go and do your work." Zijuan glanced at Daiyu and saw that she didn't respond, so she bowed and left.
Jia Jing sat down behind Daiyu minding her own business. Daiyu just didn't know, lowered her head and licked her nails. Jia Jing coughed softly and said: "I've been saying this for so long, but it's finally here today.
If you don’t want it, that’s it, then I’d better take it back myself!” Daiyu raised her eyes and her ears instantly stood up, and there were sighs and murmurs coming from behind: “Alas! What on earth is that?
Should I give it to Xichun, or to the third sister? The second sister will definitely not want it..."
Daiyu was startled and immediately turned around. Unexpectedly, she saw Jia Jing sitting behind her, looking at her with a playful expression. Daiyu couldn't help but blush, couldn't help but smile at the corner of her mouth, and turned around at the same time.
He ran inside, threw himself on the pillow and said shyly: "I don't want it anymore! Give it to whomever you like!"
Jia Jing stepped forward with a smile and said, "How can that be done? This is what I agreed to give you." Daiyu snorted and said, "Who cares?" Jia Jing said helplessly: "If you don't want it, then I will."
Let it go." Daiyu raised her head and looked at Jia Jing doubtfully and said, "Let it go?"
Jia Jing smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't you like birds? I spent a lot of effort to get this one! It's not easy!" Daiyu looked at the black cloth in Jia Jing's hand in confusion, and couldn't help but feel a little moved.
"Is there a birdcage inside?" Jia Jing said with a mysterious smile, "You'll know if you open it and take a look."
Daiyu glanced at him, stretched out her tender white hands and lifted up the black cloth. Unexpectedly, as soon as she lifted it up, she screamed and hid in the bed. Jia Jing couldn't help but burst out laughing, and saw Jia Jing's little
An iron gauntlet was tied around her arm, and an eagle stood boldly on the gauntlet! As soon as Daiyu lifted up the black cloth, the eagle suddenly flashed its wings and looked like it was soaring into the sky, with a pair of sharp claws flashing cold light, and its whole body
Pure white feathers with a black edge, indeed very handsome.
Daiyu turned pale with fright, and her eyes were filled with tears. Jia Jing said quickly: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid! Her eyes are covered with cloth! Besides, this is a trained gyrfalcon and a good sea turtle! It's okay! You
Look how handsome it is!" Daiyu pointed at the turtle grandson with trembling hands and said: "You, get out of here!"
Jia Jing smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, I am teasing you to be naughty. This is mine, not yours." Daiyu was so angry that she was shaking all over and said with tears in her eyes: "I don't want it anymore! Get out of here!"
Jia Jing quickly apologized and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! It's because my brother is just having fun! Don't be anxious, just wait a moment."
After saying that, he stood up, found a shelf, and first put Hai Dongqing far away. Then he groped around in his arms, and it took him a long time to take out something and said, "This is yours." Daiyu Zhi said.
Looking at Jia Jing with his mouth open, Jia Jing slowly opened his hand, and saw a small white dumpling slowly leaking out of his hand.
Daiyu blinked her big eyes, and saw that the little glutinous rice dumpling-like thing actually opened its eyes. Two small black eyes looked at Daiyu smartly, and shook the feathers from Jia Jing's hand. The little dumpling was instantly
It exploded, then chirped twice, and jumped twice as if bouncing in place.
Daiyu's eyes instantly let out little stars, and she unconsciously reached out her hand to touch it. The little bird chirped twice and looked at Daiyu in confusion, tilting her head, and then jumped onto Daiyu's hand.
He quickly and carefully held it with both hands, fearing that he would hurt it with too much force.
Jia Jing smiled and said: "This is called the Northern Long-tailed Tit. It was sent to me by people from Liaodong. Together with the sea turtle, it is not easy to feed. They spent a lot of effort to tame one.
, the hatched offspring looked to be in the best condition, so they brought them to me, how about it?" Daiyu was still interested in listening to what he said, and she was fully focused on this cute gadget.
This thing is no bigger than a table tennis ball when it grows to its maximum size. Jia Jing is talking about its scientific name in later generations. Now people should uniformly call this type of silver throat. However, Jia Jing is not a student of biology, so he has no knowledge of this aspect.
I don’t know much about it. The only thing I know is that I came across this kind of bird when I was browsing Douyin’s cute pets in my previous life. At that time, it was very attractive to those girls. It was round and white and looked very cute. People in the world nicknamed it "Little Fat Chirp".
Sure enough, Daiyu was fascinated by it as soon as she saw it. She gently stretched out her fingers to tease it and didn't bother to talk to Jia Jing. Jia Jing propped herself up on the bed and said with a smile: "Give it a name?" Daiyu raised her head as if
She forgot that Jia Jing had teased her just now, and said with bright eyes: "What did second brother say it should be called?"
Jia Jing smiled and said: "This thing looks like a flying glutinous rice ball, so let's call it glutinous rice balls?" In Jia Jing's previous life, those who kept pets no longer cared about cats calling "Mimi" and dogs calling "Wangcai", but instead called steamed buns.
Simple and unpretentious names such as steamed buns and flower rolls make people feel full when they hear them.
Daiyu blinked her eyes: "Tangyuan? Is it Yuanxiao?" Jia Jing smiled and said: "Isn't Yuanxiao just glutinous rice balls?" She stretched out her hand and pressed the little fat chirp, and the little fat chirp was pressed down on Daiyu's hand.
Immediately she flapped her wings angrily and went up to peck Jia Jing's hand. Daiyu glared at Jia Jing dissatisfied, then smiled and said in Yangzhou dialect: "Of course not! The solid dumplings are called Yuanxiao, and the ones with fillings are called Tangyuan.
Yangzhou’s shepherd’s purse dumplings are so delicious!”
Daiyu is talking about the customs of Yangzhou. Jia Jing has been a serious northerner in her past and present lives. In the perception of northerners: glutinous rice balls are Yuanxiao, tofu must be salty, and rice dumplings must be sweet! There is no filling.
Glutinous rice balls? What's that? It doesn't matter if there is no filling. From what I mean, it seems that black sesame seeds can be omitted?
Jia Jing frowned slightly and said with narrowed eyes: "Shepherd's purse dumplings?" Daiyu nodded and said, "My favorite food when I was a child, the meat stuffing is stir-fried and the shepherd's purse filling is filled with cooked oil, and it tastes delicious! Yangzhou people say
Yes, when Gao Deng Yuanzi falls, we will all eat shepherd’s purse Yuanzi..."
Jia Jing interrupted: "Well, you don't eat dumplings during the Winter Solstice?" Daiyu tilted her head: "Why do you eat dumplings in the winter? Aren't you supposed to eat dumplings?" Jia Jing was shocked, and Daiyu covered her mouth and laughed.
: "I've never eaten them in my house. Where did my second brother eat dumplings?"
Only then did Jia Jing recall that she had never eaten dumplings during the Winter Solstice since she traveled across time! It turns out that although the Jia family had moved and settled in Shenjing for many years, many of the customs in Jinling were still preserved. It may have been the result of Duke Cao’s change.
I miss the dandy life in Jinling when I was young, so many of the habits of the Jia family in the Red Mansion are the customs of Jinling. Even Daiyu, who was born in Yangzhou, Suzhou, speaks a few words of Jinling Mandarin from time to time...
Jia Jing was completely shocked! Eat glutinous rice balls during the winter solstice? Or meat fillings! What the hell is this? Jia Jing couldn't help but look at Daiyu as if she was looking at a traitor. Daiyu blinked in confusion, Jia Jing coughed and said
: "The winter solstice is coming in a few days. My brother will make dumplings for you then. Be good, and we won't eat glutinous rice balls."
Daiyu patted Jia Jing dissatisfied and said, "I won't eat it. What kind of dumplings can you make? You're just fooling me." Jia Jing smiled and said, "Really, I won't lie to you, I can make dumplings."
!When I was in college...well, I studied it specially when I was in the palace!"
Daiyu pouted her lips and teased the silver-throated bird disapprovingly. Jia Jing smiled and lay on the bed and said: "It's much more delicious than other glutinous rice balls, not to mention they are meat glutinous rice balls..." Daiyu said dissatisfied: "What's wrong with meat?"
Have you? You haven’t eaten it before, otherwise I’m sure it will make you drool!”
Jia Jing curled her lips and put her hands behind her head and said: "The glutinous rice balls must be sweet! The ones with black sesame seeds are the most fragrant." Daiyu was sitting next to him. After hearing this, she turned around and looked at him with sharp eyes.
Said: "It must be meat! Meat dumplings are delicious! Especially when they are fried, it is called a golden place!"
"Sweet!"
"Meaty!"
"What sweet meat? Why did the second brother have a fight with Sister Lin?"
